Oh no, it seems that Gin was not offended, but Vermouth was.
Hoshino Aoi thought to herself, "This is bad," but she didn't look nervous at all. Upon hearing what Vermouth said, she took a few steps forward and chuckled.
"What? I can't come now that Gin is here?"
In the darkness, Vermouth could not see her expression at the moment, and could only hear Hoshino Aoi's slightly teasing words slowly coming.
"Vermouth, you're not going to kick me out just because I'm interrupting your fun, are you? You wouldn't do that, would you?"
She repeated her question again, and when she asked it the second time, she squatted beside Vermouth's bed, holding her chin with both hands, showing a pitiful expression, which made Vermouth swallow back the words she was about to say.
After a long while, she suddenly smiled and said:
"Hey... where did you learn all these moves? Scotland couldn't have taught you that, could it?"
She shook her head, casually pulled her bathrobe over and put it on. Her long, white legs slowly landed in front of Aoi Hoshino and she kicked her playfully. Vermouth seemed to be relieved and raised her chin to Aoi Hoshino and said:
"Okay, you didn't come here just to disturb us, did you?"
Although she said this, her face clearly showed an expression of "If you dare to say yes, you're dead."
so……
"Let's go. I'd like to hear any additional suggestions you have for this mission."
Vermouth opened the door first.
The bright light rushed in.
Hoshino Aoi narrowed her eyes and waited until the shadow in front of her completely disappeared before following her out.
While they were talking, Gin had already put on his clothes, which made Hoshino Aoi look a little regretful.
"Eh? Why are you wearing clothes so soon? We're all family, what's there for me to hide from you?"
Aoi Hoshino pursed her lips and complained as she snatched the wine that Gin had just poured but had not yet drunk. Then, without waiting for Gin to speak, she handed the wine in her hand to Vermouth beside her.
Seeing this, Gin snorted and ignored her.
But a hint of thought flashed across Vermouth's eyes.
"So, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that."
However, after receiving Gin's glare, she coughed lightly and retracted her intention to follow her words and tease Gin. She turned to Hoshino Aoi and said slightly seriously:
"Okay, stop thinking about those messy things and tell me what's the important matter that brought you here to see me so late."
Hearing the seriousness in her words, Hoshino Aoi held the juice that Gin "specially" handed to her in her hand, and the words of protest were stuck on her lips, but she swallowed them back. She could only silently accept this drink in Gin's sneer, which symbolized that she was still a little kid and couldn't drink alcohol.
whispering sound……
She's obviously past the drinking age!
He even handed her juice on purpose. Wasn't this a roundabout way of saying she was childish?
but……
Thinking about her future plans and the fact that she had to arrive in Japan before November 7th, in order to prevent the world consciousness from doing something to correct the plot behind her back, Hoshino Aoi decided to stop while she was ahead and did not provoke Gin again, and at the same time, she did not challenge Vermouth's patience again.
"Regarding this mission, I need a clear reason. Why put Scotland and rye together?"
She asked seriously:
"Hasn't Rye always been someone you're in charge of, Gin?"
Gin knew that Hoshino Aoi would ask this. He glanced at her and said lightly:
"Rum has been investigating Rye's identity, but it hasn't been going well."
so?
Hoshino Aoi raised her eyebrows and asked silently.
"But there has been progress in the Scottish investigation."
"Oh? Are you sure he's the undercover agent?"
Hoshino Aoi had been leading the FBI to report Morobushi Kagemitsu's identity, so that even if the Black Organization investigated, due to preconceived notions, they could only find out that "Rye" was an undercover agent.
As for the equally suspicious 'Scotland', he was hiding behind Shuichi Akai and the FBI. Even if Rum investigated the FBI thoroughly, he could not find out the relationship between 'Scotland' and the FBI.
But after she arranged everything, she began to guide them to guess about other departments.
And Rum lived up to her expectations and began to suspect that 'Scotland' might not be an FBI undercover.
And considering the location of their mission this time, Aoi Hoshino narrowed her eyes imperceptibly.
"You don't suspect that he's an undercover agent sent by the Metropolitan Police Department or the National Police Agency of Japan, do you?"
After Hoshino Aoi finished speaking, without waiting for Gin and Vermouth to speak, she pretended to know nothing and asked him with a puzzled look:
"So, this mission was specifically assigned to him to trick him into doing something so as to confirm his identity?"
but……
"What about rye and bourbon?"
If the purpose was just to test Scotland, why did they add these two people? Aren't they afraid of any problems?
Her eyes were full of question marks, but she did not doubt at all whether the organization was using her as bait by making such an arrangement.
This attitude also made Vermouth and Gin look at each other. Although they quickly looked away, Hoshino Aoi still caught it keenly.
really……
In addition to being a test for Scotland, this mission was also a test for her.
What about rye and bourbon?
It should also be a test, right?
As for 'rye', she could vaguely guess the purpose of rum, but 'bourbon'...
"Is there something wrong with Bourbon too?"
Hoshino Aoi pretended to be confused, as if she hadn't noticed the expressions of the two people just now, and said to them curiously:
"When I said he was so proactive and must be an undercover agent, you didn't believe me. So, what do you think? Have the facts proven me right?"
"I'm sorry to disappoint you on this point."
As if she was thinking of the scene where she swore that Gin was an undercover agent, Vermouth couldn't help but chuckle and said:
"Bourbon, he's already capable of standing on his own now, so he's teaming up with you this time, replacing Gin."
