Chapter 15 You'll Never Find a Girlfriend Like This
Vermouth, who was standing next to him, handed him a document.
Bertrand took it, his half-moon eyes looking at the contents of the document with little interest: ?
Keiji Aso?
Moon Shadow Island?
His gaze suddenly paused.
"Sweetheart, a new member has recently joined the team. This is her final evaluation, and it's up to you to oversee it!"
Vermouth took a sip of her drink and smiled at Bertrand.
"Huh~" Bertrand flipped to the back, where the content was the newcomer's basic information.
Name: Kosaki Junke.
Gender: Female.
Occupation: Doctor.
"..."
When he saw the photo in the document, the people who had been watching him clearly noticed a sudden light in Bertrand's eyes, and their previously uninterested expressions instantly became interested.
Gin and the others: "..."
"Put those ideas away. You should know that the organization is short-staffed right now."
Perhaps thinking of Bertrand's usual style, Gin offered a brief explanation.
Upon hearing this, Bertrand immediately deflated. He scoffed, "Tch~ Is it my fault that we're short-staffed?"
Gin: ...
Vodka muttered to himself: "Don't you want to think back on how many promising members you've taken out from eight years ago until now?"
"How strong is she?" Bertrand yawned, wiping away the tears welling up in his eyes, and asked simply.
After reflecting on Kosuke's overall performance in the previous assessment tasks, Gin nodded slightly and said calmly, "Not bad."
Bertrand glanced at him a few times, then muttered under his breath, "Since you think it's good, why not just let her join?"
But then he suddenly seemed to realize something, punching his fist in the palm, "Oh, I get it, it's to make the newbies complete more tasks when they don't get paid!"
Seeing the way his expression kept changing, Gin felt that this kid wasn't thinking anything good.
"So, is Sweetheart going?" Vermouth couldn't help but reach out and ruffle the boy's slightly upturned hair.
"Go ahead, why wouldn't you go?"
Bertrand's tone was light as he pulled the hand off his head. "So, when are we leaving?"
"tonight."
"?" Bertrand suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Gin. "Why are you in such a hurry? You're not trying to get rid of me, are you?"
"In a hurry?" Gin scoffed, returning his gaze with utter indifference. "This is the schedule you've set. Don't you even know who's been missing for a month?"
Bertrand lowered his head slightly, his eyes looking up at him with a resentful expression.
"Koto-chan, you'll never find a girlfriend like this!"
Gin: "......"
After snorting, Gin finished the rest of his drink in one gulp, ignored him, and got up to go into the lounge without looking back.
After glancing at his back, Bertrand pursed his lips and turned his gaze to Vermouth beside him, blinking his bright eyes.
Vermouth's eye twitched slightly, and she looked away to avoid looking at him. "Ahem, sweetheart, I still have a mission to do. How about I play with you next time?"
Without waiting for Bertrand's response, she got up and left, leaving the nearly half-full glass of wine untouched.
Bertrand hesitated for a moment, then silently shifted his gaze to the vodka.
Vodka froze, about to pretend she hadn't seen his gaze, when she heard the boy's drawn-out, sweet voice: "Vodka~ Can you come here for a second, please~~"
Vodka was originally going to pretend he couldn't see or hear anything, but when he caught a glimpse of the silver-haired boy's bright, expectant eyes, he instantly gave in, sighed inwardly, and resignedly walked over.
Seeing Vodka approach, Bertrand's face instantly broke into an infectious, happy smile. After Vodka sat down next to him, he mysteriously took something out of his cat-shaped crossbody bag and handed it to Vodka.
The burly man, who had just received the gift, was momentarily stunned. He looked down at what it was in his hand, and his eyes behind his sunglasses lit up instantly. He looked at Bertrand with excitement, "This is...for me??"
Looking at the panel flooded with +1s to his emotional value, Bertrand nodded contentedly, "Of course it's for you~"
As expected, Vodka, that big, goofy guy, is the easiest to boost in terms of mood points. Unlike Qin-chan, who only got 10 points from that simple commotion.
Life is tough, Bai Bai sighed.
Upon receiving the correct answer, Vodka almost jumped for joy, and the more he looked at Bertrand, the more he felt that he was a little angel.
Who wouldn't love a cute little angel who always brings him gifts?
