Chapter 5 The password is correct (revised)

Toru Amuro's apartment is not big, and Akiyama Kanade came in a hurry, so he was unwilling to stay in a hotel and would rather lie on the cramped sofa for a night.

In fact, it doesn't matter where a dead person sleeps, so Akiyama Kanade didn't feel uncomfortable. He wasn't sleepy either, so he closed his eyes and counted the names of the drinks. When he counted to bourbon whiskey for the 38th time, he got up energetically.

It was still dark, but I could still see the sky full of twinkling stars when I looked out the window.

Akiyama Kanade plans to make breakfast for Bourbon. He is very knowledgeable about cooking, but Cherry Brandy's character doesn't know how to cook - how could he, a test subject who is locked up in the research institute all day, know how to cook - professional actors pay great attention to the details of their characters.

But it doesn't matter, Bourbon made him a bowl of udon noodles last night, so he just copied one exactly.

Guaranteed to taste exactly the same.

Before that, take a nice hot bath.

Ah, although the dead can't enjoy the pleasure of taking a bath.

Amuro Toru was always a light sleeper. As soon as he heard a noise outside the door, he opened his eyes and put his hand under the pillow. After a while, he heard the sound of water in the bathroom, so he pulled his hand out and lay back down.

He couldn't sleep, but he didn't want to waste his energy on cherry brandy, so he lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

Half an hour later, Amuro Toru opened the bedroom door. Akiyama Kanade had moved from the bathroom to the kitchen by now, and when she saw him coming out, she nodded to him, "Good morning, Bourbon. Do you want to try the breakfast I made?"

He hadn't changed yet, and was wearing a white bathrobe. His snow-white skin was almost the same color as the bathrobe, which only made his eyes look weirdly red. His short chocolate-colored hair was still dripping with water, and he simply put a towel over his head, which looked a bit out of place.

"Don't you know how to cook?" asked Toru Amuro suspiciously.

"But I saw how bourbon was made last night, so I tried it according to your steps. Do you want to try it?"

Akiyama Kanade brought the udon noodles he made to the table.

It's too strange to eat udon noodles in the morning, Amuro Toru thought, but if you just look at the appearance of the udon noodles, it seems to taste good.

Akiyama Kanade looked at him expectantly - although Amuro Toru could tell that it was an expectant look, but given his strange and dangerous eye color, it looked more like a threat: if you don't dare to try, you'll be dead.

Toru Amuro picked up his chopsticks and took a bite. It tasted exactly like his own.

"Not bad." Of course he couldn't say anything bad about himself. In fact, "not bad" was already an underestimation. If he had never cooked before, being able to cook like this for the first time should be considered a natural talent.

Amuro Toru suspected that Akiyama Kanade was lying. But there was no need to lie about whether or not she could cook.

But in other words, if someone lies even about such an insignificant matter, then he is a very scheming person.

"Thank you for the compliment, it's still far inferior to Bourbon." A thin blush appeared between the faint freckles on Akiyama Kanade's cheeks.

There is no trace of the ruthless killing spirit he had that night when they first met.

While eating, Akiyama Kanade's chocolate-colored short hair was still dripping with water. He flicked it twice but found it was of little use, so he frowned and looked at Amuro Toru.

Toru Amuro looked away, unmoved.

Want him to help you dry your hair? Dream on.

You are such a cold-blooded person, Bourbon.

Akiyama Kanade sighed and used the towel on his head to wrap up his hair. He looked like a typical Arab.

Amuro Toru twitched his lips speechlessly.

After breakfast, Toru Amuro was going to work at the Polo Cafe, and Kanade Akiyama also planned to go with him.

Although the defenses of organization members are often as thick as city walls, and you cannot be impatient to get into their hearts, you must never miss any opportunity to communicate with them.

Akiyama Kanade and Amuro Toru came to the Poirot Café together.

When the two of them came in together, Azusa Enomoto was so surprised that she almost dropped her kettle on the ground.

The young man in a black hoodie helped to lift him up in time, his voice as gentle as warm wind, "Please be careful."

Azusa Enomoto blushed and nodded stupidly.

Amuro Toru explained to him that Akiyama Kanade just had nowhere to go so she stayed at the Poirot Café for a while. Enomoto Azusa breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "I was so scared. I thought I was going to lose my job."

Amuro Toru was helpless, "Why? Why did you think of this?"

Azusa Enomoto said seriously, "With him and Mr. Amuro here, if I don't run away quickly, I will definitely be eaten by the angry high school girl."

Amuro Toru smiled.

"But, is this the first time you meet your friend, Mr. Amuro?"

"Um?"

Azusa Enomoto smiled sheepishly, "Because Mr. Amuro is always alone, I sometimes feel that you are lonely. It's great to have friends."

Amuro Toru glanced at Akiyama Kanade, who was sitting comfortably by the window. He was lazily lying on the sofa, basking in the sun like a boneless cat. The sun seemed to melt his slightly messy chocolate-brown short hair, giving it a sweet smell.

His expression was slightly cold, and he said calmly: "No."

He won't be lonely, and he is not his friend.

Azusa Enomoto was right in saying that Akiyama Kanade was indeed very popular among high school girls. By 4 or 5 pm, high school students had finished their club activities one after another, and the number of customers in the Poirot Café had increased significantly.

Most of the women were whispering about the young man sleeping by the window.

Lying on the table in front of him was Poirot's town cat, the Captain.

A man and a cat breathed in and out in the fading sunlight, rising and falling like the tides.

"It's so beautiful. Just looking at it makes me feel better." Azusa Enomoto sighed.

Amuro Toru woke up Akiyama Kanade and asked him to help. There were too many guests coming to Poirot today, and he and Enomoto Azusa alone could not handle it.

If we continue to have this living sign sitting by the window and waving around, I'm afraid this place will be packed to bursting.

Akiyama Kanade didn't actually fall asleep - he didn't need to sleep at all - but Poirot's atmosphere was so good that he couldn't help but relax and have a good rest for a while.

What he said to Bourbon about finding a job within three days was originally just a delaying tactic, but Akiyama Kanade found that this guy's vigilance had reached a terrifying level. He didn't know what he had been through, but he was like a bird that could be scared away at any time.

The next day, when Akiyama Kanade was alone in the apartment, he found many more eavesdropping devices in the apartment. He was sure that they were not there the night before, and it was obvious that they were there to guard against the new ones he had installed.

In order to prevent the bird from being scared away, Akiyama Kanade decided to retreat in order to advance, and distance creates beauty.

Then he opened the recruitment website and planned to find a job seriously - Akiyama Kanade really had no money in the account of this pseudonym.

He guessed that the old lady he met before was trying to cheat him out of money. But he thought that maybe she really had a relative who needed medical treatment, and he had money, so he decided to do a good deed.

Anyway, there is no conflict with Cherry Brandy's personality.

However, what Akiyama Kanade didn't expect was that after he casually posted a fake resume on a recruitment website, someone actually contacted him.

The resume only had one line of words:

A peerless master, honest and trustworthy, quick payment.

The applicant is a chef.

The only video that was worth watching was a cooking video. However, the chef in the video was actually Bourbon. The blond young man only showed up briefly, and the rest of the videos were all about the cooking process.

However, his movements were smooth from beginning to end, and you could tell at a glance that he was a master.

Akiyama Kanade had no shame at all and happily accepted the employer's offer and arranged a meeting time with him.

His udon noodles were also learned from Bourbon, so if you round it off, there is not much difference between his and Bourbon's application.

In the evening, Akiyama Kanade and Amuro Toru talked about how they found jobs.

The blond young man raised his eyebrows in surprise, "You actually deceived... No, I mean, congratulations."

What a remarkable truth that has been told, Mr. Bourbon.

The red-eyed young man, who had to wear a hoodie even in the house, smiled softly and said, "Thank you for your care these past two days. I'm sorry for causing you a lot of trouble, Mr. Bourbon."

He bowed seriously.

Bourbon hesitated.

Cherry Brandy doesn't seem to be that annoying, compared to people like Gin.

"I'll take you there tomorrow."

Akiyama Kanade shook her head and patted the outside pocket of her entire luggage - a small backpack.

"It's okay, I can get there by myself. I have money," he said with inexplicable pride, "The police suddenly found me yesterday and gave me some money because I was defrauded."

Kazami was quite efficient this time.

Even though the targets of the fraud were the idiots in the organization, a crime is a crime and all crimes must be punished.

Amuro Toru was very satisfied, his face hiding his joy, "That's really good."

Akiyama Kanade nodded in approval - although he didn't mind giving the money at the time, the feeling of being cheated was still a bit sad.

He couldn't help but sigh: "The Japanese police are really capable."

After saying this, he was still a little worried that Bourbon might not be able to bear hearing such words, but he didn't expect that Bourbon was quite magnanimous and was still smiling.

"It's late, go to bed early. If you need any help tomorrow, just let me know."

The tone is very gentle.

Bourbon, a man who does great things.

I am worthy of being chosen as a customer candidate.

Akiyama Kanade thought proudly.
