Chapter 170 The Dark Shadow Organization is going to hold a super cool pa...
About Punch... After finally getting in touch with her CIA contact, Rena Mizunashi learned the devastating truth that her identity had been exposed.
The bad news is that her identity has been exposed; the good news is that only Punch knows about it, and she, the only person who knows about it, has no intention of reporting it to the organization.
Rena Mizunoshi really couldn't understand Punch.
She is powerful, has done all kinds of bad things, has an upper hand, is reckless, loves games, and pursues excitement. Unlike Gin, she is not loyal to the organization.
Just when Rena Mizunashi was about to work with Punch cautiously despite the risk of being exposed, the man disappeared.
Before she disappeared, she made a deal with the CIA in exchange for not being exposed for five years - the deal was to protect a teenager.
What is this?
Could it be that as a member of the organization, Punch also has secrets that he doesn't want the organization to know, and people he wants to protect?
Rena Mizunashi is not sure what the specific connection is between Punch's disappearance and her dealings with the CIA. She just wants to tell the CIA contact the news of Punch's return the next time she meets with them.
"Uh... a secret mission, you know." Lin Xi winked at her. "Just think of it as me sleeping for too long and waking up now."
"I came to see you first thing after I got back, Kiel. Are you touched?"
Mizunashi Rena: ...
Dare not move.
On her face, she still raised a faint smile: "My pleasure."
Vodka, who was sitting in the driver's seat, shuddered.
Why did the car suddenly feel cold? Could it be that Big Brother was going all out again?
He secretly turned his head and observed Gin's expression through his sunglasses.
Hmm... Big brother is still as cold and stoic as ever, I can't tell if he's changed at all.
Vodka, who was good at guessing his superiors' intentions, fell into deep thought.
No, that's not right.
Big brother, you were just showing off your murderous intent, right?
His expression didn't change and he looked murderous. I wonder how unhappy Big Brother was just now.
Usually when the eldest brother is unhappy, he will drag him to work overtime and vent his emotions by working hard.
But now that Punch is back, then...
The way for the eldest brother to vent his emotions shouldn't be to force him to work overtime, right?
Big Brother seems to really enjoy fighting with Punch. When both sides are out of breath, Big Brother's anger should have almost subsided, right?
Vodka, who had no idea what dangerous idea he had just thought of, sped up the car a little bit.
Lin Xi in the back seat had already patted Mizunashi Reina's shoulder: "Don't be nervous, Kir-chan. We don't have any tasks today, we're just going for team building. I didn't tell you in advance because I wanted to give you a surprise."
Rena Mizunashi:?
Surprise? Or maybe a shock?
She forced herself to be strong. "Team building? Are we going to the organization base for team building?"
Lin Xi nodded.
Before coming, she had already greeted everyone, including Chianti, Cohen, vodka, gin, bourbon...but Bourbon happened to be on a mission and couldn't make it back.
Only Rena Mizunashi was kept in the dark.
She looked at the female undercover with pity, and the American bullying BGM automatically started playing in her mind: Yo, the organization is going to hold a super cool party, guess who is not invited?
Haha! It's you! 007!
She covered her head lightly, gathering her scattered thoughts. "The organization's base is quite large, and everyone is here except Bourbon."
The main thing is that there is a kitchen and fresh ingredients for her to use.
It’s been a while since she cooked as Punch, so she wanted to show off her skills to her good colleagues.
Tsk tsk, what a pity Bourbon couldn’t make it back in time.
Mizunashi Rena uttered an "oh." After a moment, she pretended to be casual and asked, "Punch, didn't you bring the cat today?"
The white cat that used to be inseparable from her was nowhere to be seen.
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, "Ah, you mean the coconut? I... have already given it away."
Did you give it away?
Mizunashi Rena knew who she had given the cat to.
When the CIA found the boy, he was holding the pure white cat in his arms.
For some reason, Rena Mizunashi always felt that something was wrong with Punch.
When I asked Punch why he disappeared for so long, her eyes flickered for a moment when she answered; when I mentioned why she didn't bring the cat, she also hesitated for a moment before answering.
Besides, if she had truly been sent on some secret mission during her disappearance, then why were there so many different accounts of her whereabouts within the organization? Some said she'd disappeared; some said she'd made a mistake and been summoned back to headquarters; and some, even more exaggeratedly, said she'd betrayed the organization and absconded with a large sum of money...
Ultimately, the mystery lies in where Punch went during the years he disappeared.
Mizuno Rena's eyes flickered.
The CIA's new plan for Punch sounds risky, but... not impossible.
Gin in the front seat snorted coldly: "Give it away? Humph... You should have given the cat away a long time ago."
"Following you, it's hard to clean up the blood and dust."
Lin Xi: "Coconut loves to be clean. When have you ever seen it get stained with the things you mentioned?"
Gin: "Isn't it because every time you go out on a mission, it comes to me?"
Lin Xi: “…”
Ah, it seems so.
Gin: "You don't think you're clean when you're on a mission, do you?"
Lin Xi couldn't refute the fact that he would destroy his clothes and replace them with new ones every time he went on a field mission.
She sneered: "Gin..."
Gin: "Hmm?"
"Nothing, just asking, what would you like to eat for lunch?"
Gin sneered: "Why, what do you want to eat for lunch?"
Lin Xi: "No, tell me so I can avoid the bomb. By the way, tell the base cafeteria not to make this dish for a week."
Vodka felt a chill starting to build up on his back.
Vodka:?
Stop fighting!
If you want to fight, go to the fighting room!
Fortunately, the scenery outside the car window flew by and we soon arrived at the organization's base.
This place is some distance away from the city. After passing through layers of access control that require facial recognition, the group successfully arrived inside the base.
Rena Mizunashi originally thought that Gin's response to Punch, "You can make whatever you want to eat at noon," was a joke and a deliberate provocation to Punch, but she didn't expect Punch to be serious.
After entering the base, the girl went straight to the kitchen and took over the cooking power of the chef. She directed the chefs to help her prepare the dishes. She was quick and decisive.
Is this right?
Rena Mizunoshi looked at the dishes being served and felt numb.
Anyone who sees Punch now would think she is a cute and capable little girl next door.
But does this have anything to do with the fun-loving man she knew who killed people and set fires without blinking an eye?
Rena Mizunashi looked at the sumptuous meal in front of her with an indescribable look on her face.
The most important thing is...
Why are the people in the organization, except myself, so comfortable with Punch's image?
Chianti, don't secretly move your chopsticks before all the dishes are served. Hey, everyone here is either a killer or a spy, how could they not see your little moves!
And vodka! You still have to drive this afternoon, so why did you pick up the glass? Oh, luckily Punch stopped you in time... Wait, why did Punch stop you?
As a member of an organization, do you have such a strong sense of morality that you must not violate traffic rules?
When Punch forcibly replaced all the drinks on the table with soda and juice, Rena Mizunashi felt that this world was really magical.
She took a bite of the dish and decided to stick to the principle of good colleagues not to undermine each other. Even if Punch's dish tasted bad, she would still praise her for being delicious... As a result, she was amazed at the first bite.
Hmm? What is this?
...How can there be such delicious food in this world!
Mizunashi Rena's eyes widened.
At this moment, she finally realized why Chianti and Cohen's eyes were shining and they were eager to eat before the dishes were served, why Vodka took off his suit, which he rarely took off even when he was on a business trip, and why Gin remained calm on the surface but moved his chopsticks very quickly.
Punch... Could it be that during the years he disappeared, he went to study cooking?
Otherwise, how could this fried chicken be so crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and juicy, how could the beef brisket be so flavorful and cooked to perfection? How could the egg custard be so tender and soft, and why could the sauce drizzled over the eel be so rich and fragrant?
Even the simplest miso soup served at the end became so delicious after being processed by Punch... Is there any change in the ratio of kelp and dried shrimp?
Mizunoshi Rena was puzzled and finally decided to give up thinking and eat first.
If you don't start eating, these guys will eat up all the food!!
.
After having enough wine... no, enough juice and a full meal, Rena Mizunashi lay on the sofa and thought about life.
She felt so full... The food Punch cooked was so delicious that she couldn't help but eat a little more.
She closed her eyes slightly.
Delicious food has a magical power that makes people relax involuntarily, and the atmosphere of a dining party reminds people of home.
So, even though this is the organization's base, even though she is an undercover agent... at this moment Rena Mizunashi also wants to lie on the sofa and rest for a while.
In a deep sleep, Rena Mizunashi vaguely heard Punch's voice.
"You guys go ahead and do your own things. I'll take her back with me."
"What? Help? No need... Her workplace and mine happen to be on the same street, and... I have something to say to her alone~"
Mizuno Rena suddenly woke up.
The warm atmosphere disappeared without a trace. She looked at the girl in front of her who was close to her with a playful look in her eyes, and she felt that her danger radar was frantically sounding the alarm.
"No need—" She was about to refuse when white fingers pressed against her lips.
"—Shh." The girl winked playfully. "Rejection is invalid, right, Kir?"
Mizuno Rena looked into those emerald green eyes and was certain that she saw murderous intent in that clear lake water.
The newfound understanding of Punch she'd formed from today's lunch was shattered once again. Rena Mizunashi realized with uncanny clarity that no matter how delicious the girl's cooking was or how sweet her smile was, she was still a core member of an organization with countless souls under her command.
