You maintained a cool expression on your face, while the blond man beside you was respectful, polite, and generous. Toru Amuro perfectly portrayed the qualities that a butler should have.

It is not normal for a lady like her to go to a bar, but this bar is different from the ordinary bar you imagine. It is not crowded or chaotic. All the decorations are gorgeous and exquisite.

“……” What the hell, is this place a high-end bar?

Having never been to a bar before, you secretly look at the objects and people around you with curiosity.

"Not bad," Amuro beside you lowered his voice, speaking in a volume that only the two of you could hear, "I wanted to remind you, but it seems that you also know how to observe the route of action first." He had his usual smile on his face.

“……” You didn’t have the courage to tell him that you were just looking around out of curiosity.

Well, the other party did wake you up. The first thing is to pay attention to the layout and path - in case something happens later, you can escape in time.

When you are in a strange place, the most important thing is to check for emergency exits. You scan the corners of the bar and see a few green emergency exit signs.

I don't know where Gin went. That guy is used to being alone. Without his falcon-like surveillance, you relax a third of your body (as for why it is a third... because there are two more difficult guys around!)

Kitagawa Makashi - I could see him in my peripheral vision, following me not far behind. At the right distance, not too far, not too close.

“……”It’s really a sticky candy that can’t be gotten rid of.

Why is he still so persistent even when others have already shown their rejection on their faces? You think the most common thing you say to him after changing your clothes is "get lost", but this sister repeater still keeps repeating "I will protect you".

you:"……"

I just want to rush up and shake his collar like crazy, and tell him, "If you keep licking me, you will end up with nothing! !"

"A stand-in is not acceptable! And your stand is actually a man! !"

"More importantly, you insisted on protecting someone who was actually a fake wine undercover agent! !"

Of course, the last sentence is enough to be complained in your heart, and it cannot be said out loud.

You are in a state of confusion, but your face remains calm. You walk past people drinking from their wedding cups and arrive at the bar counter under the dim lights.

"Hello, miss." The waiter in front of me said in a neat suit, "What would you like to order?"

“……” You were silent for a second, as you only knew about the various types of liquor consumed during the Chinese New Year and the wines with different code names.

Amuro Toru beside you has already spoken for you: "Still the same combination, miss? - A glass of Jack Daniels honey whiskey, slightly lighter in taste, with some lemon juice."

“…” You nodded in agreement.

...I hope this wine is not too bad and not too strong, otherwise it will be difficult to drink it calmly and elegantly. You think to yourself. Otherwise, you will not drink it later and just take a few sips symbolically.

"Okay, please wait." The waiter told the bartender behind him to prepare with a professional smile.

Amuro Toru's voice was magnetic, and he continued chatting casually: "I heard there are activities recently?"

"Yes, sir." The waiter smiled, "Our annual Wine Spirit Festival is coming. Are you interested?"

The blond man tilted his head slightly, and his smile became even gentler under the warm light of the bar: "—crossing life and death, touching the edge in the ups and downs of consciousness."

"......?" It's a strange thing to say. You can't help but raise your eyes and take a quick look.

Is that a code?

The waiter still smiled in the same way, as if it was a set procedure. He took out a gold-rimmed card from under the table with his white-gloved hand: "Please keep it, sir." But he handed it to you.

You took it quickly and nodded slightly: "Okay, thank you."

The drink that was just ordered was also perfectly prepared, with amber liquid swaying in the tall glass, sparkling with rippling light.

Amuro Toru took the tray and stood beside you: "Come on, Miss, let's go to the sidelines."

...Go down below. This is where the mission is.

Entering a state of alert combat readiness again, you smiled faintly.

The waiter pointed ahead and said, "Go to the end of this corridor and turn left. There is a door. Someone will guide you there. Please bring your admission card."

The gold-rimmed card in my hand is the size of an ordinary business card, with a white background and the name of the bar [LOVE & DIE] printed on it.

This bar is really weird, you thought to yourself, walking in the corridor with Amuro Toru in silence, with the glass of whiskey still firmly in his hand.

Why do I need to be a girl to go down to the inner level?

Your eyes flickered, and you had a vague guess in your heart.

It's not some weird ritual... or sacrifice. This bar with themes of death and love is also a place for the organization to trade missions, so maybe it's normal for it to be a little weird.

This mission actually involves three combatants, which is definitely not an easy task. Perhaps all the dangers will be revealed later.

Is it the Jiuling Festival? ——I don’t know whether it refers to the gods or the dead.

But as a technician, it's none of your business if a fight breaks out. They should be concerned about the personal safety of technicians...right?

Glock hid in his underwear, giving you a sense of security. The blond man next to you kept a few centimeters away from you. He turned his head slightly, revealing his handsome profile: "Don't be nervous." He smiled, "Come closer to me later, nothing will happen."

"......!" You were not nervous at first, but these comforting words made you even more nervous!

...I would be very grateful if you, the great god, would not give me a sudden push later. I have a half-moon eye in your heart. I don't ask you to save me or protect me, but I ask you not to cheat me.

"Where are they going to be later?" You lowered your voice, "How are they going to go down? Or..." Are they going to be responsible for staying up there?

"Of course they have their own way." Amuro Toru frowned, "This is not your concern."

“……”It seems like I was warned implicitly.

Sure enough, the good face is only temporary and superficial. You were choked for a moment, and didn't say anything else, just walked forward in silence.

You can see the corner in front of you. If you turn left, you will reach the door that leads to the next level. But before the corner, you stop.

"Hmm?" Toru Amuro didn't expect you to stop suddenly, and looked at you with a mixture of doubt and inquiry in his eyes.

“Hey…” You looked straight ahead, “Let me tell you in advance, if I die, you will regret it, absolutely.”

"..." Amuro Toru narrowed his eyes, hiding all his emotions in his purple-gray eyes, "Oh?"

"Before you know a person's exact identity, it's better not to act rashly." You slowly raised the corners of your lips, "--After all, it's hard to judge the true color of a person under an ordinary skin."

After you finished speaking, you didn't look at him again, but just walked forward again.

“…”

The heavy golden carved wooden door in front of you slowly becomes clearer. Standing at the door is a waiter in a suit, looking up at you and Toru Amuro who are gradually approaching.

Holding the card in your hand, you are mentally prepared to face the scene and crisis on the next level.

The author has something to say:
