Chapter 37: First Meeting with Vermouth



In the banquet hall inside the cruise ship.

The lights were shining, and people dressed as waiters walked steadily, carrying all kinds of drinks and snacks, and moving among the crowd.

"I didn't expect that you would actually accept Mr. Masuyama's invitation, Sharon. I thought you would use filming as an excuse to refuse his invitation."

"Ah, it's Mr. White."

The woman called 'Sharon' looked in the direction of the voice and started chatting with the other party.

While taking the opportunity to replenish her dessert, Aoi Hoshino, who was observing the crowd, blinked and hid the gleam in her eyes.

Sharon and Mr. Masuyama...

One is the same name as Vermouth's disguised identity.

One is the same last name as Pisco's real identity.

In addition, this mission was originally a trap set by Rum against the Public Security Bureau, so without much thought, Hoshino Aoi had already equated the other party with Vermouth.

However, considering the other party's sensitivity to sight, Hoshino Aoi did not look directly at her, but used her peripheral vision, or with the help of other people blocking her view, to stare at her very subtly.

At the same time, she did not forget to determine Zhu Fu Jingguang's current location.

He was now on the other side of the banquet hall, and from where Vermouth was standing, she could not see his face.

Only then did Aoi Hoshino feel relieved and focused her attention on Vermouth.

Until the wine glass fell to the ground, making a clattering sound——

"ah!"

"what happened?!"

"Someone suddenly fell to the ground, call a doctor!"

What?!

As expected...

Zhu Fu Jingguang and Hoshino Aoi's hearts trembled at the same time, but unlike Zhu Fu Jingguang, there was a glimmer of understanding in Hoshino Aoi's eyes.

Want to complete your mission while the crowd is in chaos?

It seems that this mission is not entirely fake.

But think about it, Vermouth has already been dispatched. If it was just a trap, there would be no need to let Vermouth complete this mission.

Hoshino Aoi was thinking, and saw Vermouth gradually retreating, and soon her figure disappeared in the crowd. She finally confirmed the location of Zhufu Jingguang, and saw that he was indeed not noticed by Vermouth, so she followed Vermouth and disappeared in the banquet hall.

The sound of footsteps continued to echo in the corridor until the light became dimmer and the air seemed to be filled with a hint of chill. Then the person who had been walking in front suddenly stopped.

"You've followed me all the way. The morgue is just ahead. Are you sure you want to continue following me?"

There was no sound in the darkness.

It seemed like everything was just her illusion, but Vermouth had a hunch that there was someone behind her.

so……

'clatter--'

'clatter--'

'clatter--'

The sound of high heels stepping on the floor was a little crisp, but as she felt her slowly approaching, Aoi Hoshino, who was hiding in the corner, still felt the increasing pressure.

"How did you find me?"

After all, she currently holds the title of a member of the Black Organization, and her participation in this public security operation has been reported to Rum. So when she found out that Vermouth already knew of her existence, Hoshino Aoi did not hesitate and asked directly:

"I think my concealment skills are pretty good."

“It’s really good.”

Vermouth seemed to have known about the existence of Aoi Hoshino from Rum, so when she walked out from the corner, although Vermouth still had a gun in her hand, she did not point the gun at her like an enemy.

"But my woman's intuition tells me that there has been a little tail behind me since I don't know when it started."

Vermouth smiled gently, and the slightly raised corners of her lips, combined with her eyes without a smile, made her look even more charming than the 'Vermouth' in the comics.

Hoshino Aoi was also bewitched by her for a moment, but she quickly reacted and couldn't help but chuckle:

"Okay, okay, but intuition is really scary. It makes me want to ask how you train your intuition."

"Ah, about this..."

She chuckled and raised a finger, then gently placed it on her lips under Hoshino Aoi's slightly fiery gaze.

"A Secret Makes A Woman Woman."

"Ahhhhhhhh!!! System! I feel like my life is complete! I actually heard Vermouth's famous words!"

The secret to making a woman more feminine or something...

"And she even gave me a hushed gesture! Sorry, Tooru, but please allow me to climb the wall for a minute!"

Aoi Hoshino's eyes lit up.

If it weren't for the last bit of rationality in her brain, she would have held her face and screamed.

But even so, the system was shocked by her attitude.

"...Host... your speed of climbing the wall is a little too fast, isn't it?"

Doesn’t she hate the Black Organization the most?

Why did his attitude change instantly when he met Vermouth?

If it had known this earlier, why would it have used the police academy team to seduce her? Wouldn't it be better to just go straight for Vermouth?

and……

"This isn't the first time you've seen Vermouth. Didn't you see her every day in the study room?"

I hadn't seen her this excited before in the study space...

The system is speechless.

However, Hoshino Aoi said:

"This is the real Vermouth! The Vermouth who says A Secret Makes A Woman Woman! Who wouldn't be confused after seeing this?!"

She can't do it anyway.

She is just a beauty lover.

Hoshino Aoi replied in her heart as she followed Vermouth into the morgue.

"But to be honest, I was a little surprised that the organization would choose to conduct the transaction in a morgue."

Seeing that Vermouth took out a piece of wire from somewhere and fiddled with it casually, the door lock opened. Hoshino Aoi followed her into the morgue on the cruise ship and complained.

As for her words, Vermouth just glanced at her with a bit of amusement:

"After all, this is the safest place, no one will come here easily."

So in order to get the things smoothly, they used the commotion caused by the case this time, but the other party did not die.

"This is also to avoid being disturbed by others."

After finding the thing, Vermouth did not open the box to check in front of Hoshino Aoi immediately.

"Let's go, my mission is accomplished."

As for other people's tasks, that is not her responsibility.
