243.
The double sweetness of the blueberry peanut butter spreads on the tip of your tongue. Combined with the soft bread and lettuce, you swallow it in one gulp, and your empty stomach is instantly filled with a sense of satisfaction.
Miyano Shiho took small bites of the sandwich, her cheeks puffing up as she moved, like a hamster storing food. She peered to the side through the cover of the milk cup, a strange feeling spreading in her heart.
Despite wearing gloves, Shinsou still held a corner of the sandwich in one hand, and started slowly from the very corner - sipping it. She didn't seem very happy to eat this lunch with sticky sauce, and she ate very slowly.
A strand of hair was caught by the legs of the sunglasses and fluttered slightly. The woman casually flicked it with her free wrist, and it happened to be facing the direction of Miyano Shiho.
Miyano Shiho was startled and subconsciously lowered her head to take a big sip of milk, almost getting choked.
As if hearing a chuckle, Miyano Shiho immediately looked at Amuro Toru who was sitting opposite. The blond young man pushed another plate of plain sandwiches in front of Shinsou without changing his expression and said, "You can try this one that's not so sweet."
"Thank you, but I'm not very hungry." Shinsuo didn't appreciate it, but just continued to gnaw on it. He was probably thinking about something, and his tone was a little vague.
The brown-haired girl curled her lips subconsciously.
The pair of purple-grey eyes met Miyano Shiho's ice-blue eyes silently, and there seemed to be lightning and thunder in between.
Fūya Rei shrugged and lowered his eyes to the sandwich in her hand.
Miyano Shiho pursed her lips and took a fierce bite of the sandwich, but her mind was full of doubts.
Since Shinso doesn't like sandwiches, why did he come to this cafe that specializes in sandwiches and choose the same flavor as her?
If it's for her, then her preferences are only known by her sister?
Miyano Shiho didn't believe in such coincidences, but Shinsou's actions really made her a little confused.
Just like what Bermode said, the subjects of the experiment she took over this time were mainly the two of them. Although everyone knew in their hearts that they had no choice, no one could be nice to her as a researcher, right?
Especially the silver-haired man who brought her here, he directly said that if she had other thoughts, then her sister would be finished...
Thinking of Miyano Akemi who was also bound in the organization, Miyano Shiho slowed down her chewing. The sour feeling kept tearing at her heart, making her even want to cry for a moment.
What on earth is Shinsou trying to do by being so nice to her!
“Is it not delicious?”
Shinsou's hoarse voice sounded, and one hand fell on Miyano Shiho's hair, then slid down to the back of her neck, making her shiver subconsciously because of the cold.
He had taken off the disposable gloves he used to eat sandwiches at some point, and was twirling a strand of her hair with his left hand, his eyes from behind his sunglasses revealing a hint of concern.
Miyano Shiho inexplicably felt like the other person was petting a cat.
The chaotic emotions just now were suppressed again. She pinched half of the sandwich and murmured softly: "No...it's delicious."
Shensuo said "hmm" softly, and then asked, "Who is the temporary guardian now?"
"Gin."
As soon as this question came out, Miyano Shiho looked up at her unconsciously, with an inexplicable expectation in her heart.
But she still pretended to be indifferent and fair, pursed her lips and commented: "I don't like him very much."
Shensuo paused while touching her hand, and said softly, "Is that so..."
There is no follow-up to this sentence.
Miyano Shiho felt inexplicably disappointed. She suddenly became a little angry and said bluntly, "Why did you bring me out? Logically, I should be responsible for everything that happens next."
"I need to go back and look at the detailed information about you and Bermode!"
The other party did not answer her question, but asked himself: "Will you be very busy in the future? In terms of studies and experiments?"
"Yes!" Miyano Shiho was a little breathless. She pinched the sandwich and kneaded the lettuce to make a crisp sound. She said with a straight face, "After all, this organization doesn't support idle people, right?"
"I don't support idle people."
Shinsou curled his lips slightly, and his pale lip color was stained red under the light, which directly blocked all the words that Miyano Shiho wanted to say next.
The brown-haired girl sat there with a puffy face and remained silent.
Fūya Rei sat opposite the two of them, watching the two stern-faced icebergs, one big and one small, gradually showing signs of collapse, and for a moment he didn't know how to stop them.
Why did he feel that he was redundant sitting here? These two people were not even willing to look at him, as if he was just a tool who drove the car and paid the bills.
This feeling of being ignored is somewhat new to Rei Furuya, who has always been the focus of attention.
Of course, he was not just immersed in this strange atmosphere, but was observing secretly.
Shirley is a researcher who has been given a code name by the organization at such a young age. She really deserves the title of genius. She seems to be conducting experiments related to Synsou, which is of great value.
Moreover, she doesn't seem loyal to the organization and is even in a vaguely rebellious state. If we can establish a good relationship with her, she will definitely be a good source of information in the future.
Just build good relationships...
When Fūya Rei recalled the look of disdain on the child's face when he looked at him, he felt that this was probably a long way to go.
As for Shinsou... there are too many mysteries surrounding this person. Furuya Rei has never had the chance to find out what experiments Shinsou participated in, and what her position in the organization is.
The irritable and speechless expression on Gin's face when he gave him orders was still vivid in his mind, and the content of the orders was so strange, as if he was jealous of Shinsou's actions and deliberately wanted to restrain her.
Fūya Rei always felt that Shinsou's position in this organization should not be very low.
But...when the time comes, how will he explain to Chiyodani Toru?
He didn't even know the whole story of Chiyodani Toru's disappearance at that time. Wouldn't it irritate people again if he suddenly said that his sister was actually a member of that organization?
It would be disastrous if Chiyodani Toru got excited and once again threw himself into the investigation of the organization.
Furuya Rei recalled the time when Chiyogaya Toru collapsed in the dormitory, and became confused again for a moment. The more he spent time with Shinsou, the more confused he felt, and the harder it was for him to explain things.
"I once had a younger brother." Shinsuo suddenly said, "Sometimes I think you are quite similar to him."
Hearing her say this, Miyano Shiho and Furuya Rei both raised their heads and looked at her, with disbelief in their eyes, but they were thinking different things.
Furuya Rei never expected that Shinsou would directly mention Chiyodani Toru in front of the members of the organization.
Didn't she know that if the police hadn't rescued him in time, her brother would have been killed by this organization?
Or did she feel that there was no need to hide in front of Shirley, a child, and him, a low-level officer without a code name?
Miyano Shiho couldn't help but ask: "Where is he now?"
"I don't know." Shinsuo's expression suddenly turned cold. "It doesn't matter where you are, but it's best if you don't show up in front of me."
Miyano Shiho opened her mouth subconsciously: "Is your relationship not good?"
"Who knows?"
The woman finally took her hand off the brown-haired girl's shoulder. She rubbed her temples tiredly and said casually, "Eat first. It's getting cold soon."
Miyano Shiho wanted to ask something else, but Shinsou obviously had no intention of answering. She just lowered her head and stirred her coffee. The mood around her became much gloomier.
Fūya Rei no longer had any thoughts about the issue. His previous thoughts were shattered by the few words he just heard.
He just stared at Shinsou, his purple-gray eyes seemed to emit heat that could melt wire. He tried to use the knowledge he had learned to find traces of lies from Shinsou's half-covered face, and his mind was in a state of confusion.
What do you mean by "Just don't show up in front of her"?!
Isn't the relationship between this pair of siblings a two-way one?
The person who was distracted by the fiery gaze did not notice it, but was caught by Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara who rushed over.
----------------
"Make way, make way, please excuse me for my work!"
"This is a super funny interview column. Let's go into life and see the real side!"
Wearing a blue striped outfit, with his semi-long hair tied back and a pair of funny "OK" glasses, Kenji Hagihara, who looked like a humorous artist, walked to the counter and, without changing his expression, used sweet words to confuse the waiter.
He stuffed the work badge he had casually picked up back into his pocket and turned to look for Jinpei Matsuda who was already eager to give it a try.
Jinpei Matsuda was wearing a floral shirt and wide trousers. His black curly hair was lifted up by a brightly colored headband, revealing his smooth forehead. He wore sunglasses with a colorful "PK" frame on his face.
He first asked a few tables of customers nearby, and then sang along with Hagihara Kenji, bringing out the hilarious effect of the comedian interview to the fullest. Many customers laughed and cooperated with their interview.
This kind of random interview with a comedian is very popular in Japan, and out of respect, the cameras carried by the celebrities are all switchable. If you don't want your face to be recorded and leaked, you can simply apply for a refusal, and the other party has no right to record you without permission.
Everyone was used to this format, so they were very cooperative, and some even said they were looking forward to the broadcast. The two of them also responded familiarly without revealing any flaws.
Because it was so common, Shirley glanced up nonchalantly and then lowered her head to eat her sandwich.
Only Rei Furiya's pupils trembled, but he didn't even have time to react, as he was soon questioned near the window.
Matsuda Jinping, holding a microphone, had already walked to the table enthusiastically and put the microphone directly in front of Furiya Rei.
"Come here, sir, could you please tell us your name?" Jinpei Matsuda grinned, "We are just doing a small interview!"
Fūya Rei, who almost had the microphone stuck in his mouth: "..."
I don't know where this weird Miyano Shiho came from: "?"
After just finishing his character creation and frantically hinting to Furuya Rei to stop causing trouble, he looked at Chiyoya Saori on the forum: "??!"
Oh my god, is she finally hallucinating from acting too much?
【Customer service! Customer service! 】
[Dear, stop crying. You read it right. They are your two classmates of the same period.]
Chiyoya Hayori: "..."
The hand holding the cup trembled slightly.
She subconsciously lowered her head, letting her long hair cover her face.
Kenji Hagiwara also rushed over with a camera that he hadn't even turned on, and smiled seriously, "It won't take up any of your time. I just want to ask a few questions."
"Please don't refuse." He twisted his body and made a coy and funny gesture.
Fūya Rei probably saw through their plan, and felt a suffocating feeling in his heart, which he could only turn into a helpless sigh.
He consciously glanced at the two people sitting opposite him, and after seeing that they had no reaction, he smiled stiffly and said, "Don't record it."
"It's just a simple recording! Let's start with this gentleman. May I ask your name?"
"Just call me Toru Amuro."
"Tooru!" Matsuda Jinpei blurted out subconsciously, with a strange expression on his face, "Ohhhh~ this name sounds nice, huh?"
Hagiwara Kenji quickly grabbed him by the collar and said with a sneer, "Newbies are ignorant, making a fuss over trivial matters! They haven't learned the essence of our comedy at all!"
Matsuda Jinpei said: "That's annoying, they just want to flatter me!"
"But you are not good enough. In other words, this name is too suitable for you, sir."
"I've learned nothing!"
Furuya Rei: “.”
"Oh, by the way, where are these two ladies?"
Miyano Shiho continued to eat her sandwich, not wanting to pay any attention to anyone. Chiyogaya Saori silently said that she couldn't recognize him and continued to play dead.
But we can't just pretend to be dead.
She lowered her head, lowered her voice, and said coldly: "Shouldn't you introduce yourselves first?"
Hagiwara Kenji did not suspect anything, and in line with the countermeasures he had already thought of, he casually took out his work badge and said, "I'm Murakami, this is Taiga, we are all employees of Nichimera TV! Right? Taiga!"
Matsuda Jinpei: “Ah… Yeah.”
This sound...what did it remind him of?
"oh."
Suddenly the atmosphere became quiet.
Kenji Hagiwara was still waiting for Jinpei Matsuda to play the supporting role, but he found that his childhood friend suddenly turned into a wooden man.
Fūya Rei was afraid that these two funny guys would make mistakes again, so he quickly pretended to be impatient and said, "What questions do you want to ask? Hurry up and say it!"
The sudden burst of acting skills at the same time left Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagihara speechless.
The two men had already seen that Furuya Rei was indeed on a secret mission, and the two women sitting opposite him must be his targets.
But...if it's a protection mission, is it necessary to hide your identity?
Luckily, the disguise didn't seem to go wrong this time, so I just asked two questions and ran away.
Seeing the other party accept the offer, Hagiwara Kenji coughed lightly and casually asked a few questions, acting like a good employee who was enthusiastic and welcoming. This made Matsuda Jinpei, who was holding the microphone, seem particularly silent.
It wasn't just the contrast that brought it out. The curly-haired young man had worn his flashy sunglasses askew at some point, revealing one exceptionally bright black eye that was fixed on the woman in black who had only said two sentences from beginning to end, and he was looking at her with exceptional concentration.
Without the mood to talk, I naturally became quiet.
Hagiwara Kenji subconsciously nudged his childhood friend with his elbow, and when he found that the latter did not respond, he followed the direction of his gaze and looked over.
Although the woman's head was lowered so her full appearance could not be seen, her exposed skin was fair and delicate, and her temperament was cold and aloof. She was also a rare beauty.
Kenji Hagiwara felt as if he had realized something.
Fūya Rei was a little nervous, afraid that Shinsou would find out something, and he was also looking at her, ready to rescue her at any time.
As for Shirley, needless to say, the moment Matsuda Jinpei looked at Shinsou, she raised her head sharply and squinted her eyes to look between the two of them, with full of scrutiny and vigilance.
Suddenly, everyone at the table stared at Chiyogaya. She didn't dare to move. Saori: "..."
If looks could kill, she would have died hundreds of times, right??!
At this moment, Matsuda Jinpei suddenly coughed lightly, his expression revealing a kind of funny affection, which seemed to be in line with the script, but the words -
He asked slowly, "Miss, have I seen you somewhere before?"
