Chapter 17: After the BE Ending

This untimely silence made the deal that the two had just reached shaky.

It was difficult for Kamiya Aoi to see through Akai Shuichi's true thoughts under his thick disguise, but he just saw his current appearance in the mirror.

I don't know what Miss Fujii looks like, but as long as I look good, that's enough.

Kamiya Aoi consciously avoided some specific descriptions and words to evaluate his appearance after dressing as a woman. He hoped that Akai Shuichi could do the same.

However, things did not go as planned. After a moment of silence, Akai Shuichi earnestly praised, "Very beautiful."

"..." Shen Youkui, who had already walked to the door of the locker room, turned sideways and his eyebrows twitched slightly when he heard the words.

It should have been a very intimidating glance, but unfortunately, given his extremely beautiful "girly" appearance, this glance not only did not have any threatening meaning, but actually conveyed a hint of invitation.

The knowledgeable salesperson shifted his eyes left and right twice and quietly slipped away very tactfully.

Shen Youkui thought she was going to issue tickets, and couldn't help but sigh again at the realism of the game. Even a passerby NPC who might not be noticed by the player was so real.

Akai Shuichi's eyes turned around a few times and his lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he gave up and remained silent.

So when Kamiya Aoi changed into casual clothes and took the green long skirt to the counter to check out with Akai Shuichi, the latter could not help but receive some surprised looks from the shopping guide.

The general meaning may be translated as - "Why are you so fast?"

Shuichi Akai remained silent, doubting the legitimacy of this shopping mall.

How could a respectable shopping mall, when it discovers that a customer seems to be about to do something immoral in a public place, not stop him but instead cooperate in clearing the place?

Kamiya Aoi issued the ticket with a normal expression, but when she needed to swipe her card to pay, she looked silently at Akai Shuichi.

Not knowing what to say, Akai Shuichi paused for a moment, then obediently took out his wallet and paid the bill.

It was he who asked for Shen Youkui women's clothing, and it was also he who brought people into this women's clothing store.

Emotionally, he should pay.

The salesperson took the card handed to her by Akai Shuichi, looked left and right again, narrowed her eyes slightly, and nodded.

Akai Shuichi, who was always good at reading other people's expressions and analyzing their minds, shifted his gaze and refused to analyze the shopping guide's mental activities at this moment.

The two walked away side by side and walked to the entrance of the mall. Shen Youkui, who had seemed not to understand the meaning of the salesperson's expression, suddenly said, "I still think my suggestion is more effective."

Even the stranger NPCs couldn't tell that he was acting. When Ms. Fujii saw her lover with someone else, she would be so angry that she would not have the energy to tell whether it was true or not.

Shuichi Akai doesn't talk much, but he is not a taciturn person.

However, now that he realized that the misunderstanding that had just occurred was actually deliberately led by Shen Youkui, he actually didn't know what to say. In just half a day, he was forced to remain silent more times than in the past year.

His eyes fell on the delicate pale face of the silver-haired young man, and Akai Shuichi politely declined, "I will help you make a simple disguise tonight."

Since it is uncertain which of the middle and high-level Japanese public security officials are undercover agents at the winery, it is not advisable to show up at a banquet attended by middle and high-level Japanese public security officials with an undercover agent - or an informant.

After Shen Youkui's deliberate provision of information, coupled with his own long-term observation, Akai Shuichi has already changed the former's identity card in his mind to half red.

The proposal was rejected again, but Shen Youkui didn't care.

There was still some time before the dinner, so because they needed to disguise themselves as Kami Yuuki, the two of them went to Akai Shuichi's real whereabouts.

——Just downstairs from the hotel suite that Shen Youkui booked, an ordinary single standard room.

Shen Youkui: "..."

Why did he spend so much time and energy looking for someone and even stake out the place?

Women's clothing?

Shuichi Akai took out the tools used for disguise, and when he turned around, he saw Kamiya Aoi's eyes flickering and her face pale, her expression even more complicated and aggrieved than the day when she was forced by Gin to shoot someone in the basement.

"…What's wrong?"

Shen Youkui shook her head and skipped the topic: "So you can also disguise yourself."

"Not as good as Bermode."

Speaking of the blonde who always said that women are more attractive when they have secrets, Shuichi Akai couldn't help but wonder what big thing she would cause in Japan this time.

Judging from her disguise skills and the purpose of this mission, he suspected that one of the guests attending the banquet that night was disguised as her.

But it's pointless to think about this now. Akai Shuichi began to use tools to disguise Kamiya Aoi.

Shen Youkui sat there unable to move, but his mind was very active.

He was thinking about how Morobushi Kagemitsu had exposed his identity.

As far as he knew, Morobushi Kagemitsu and Akai Shuichi were both snipers in the organization. They usually worked alone, and their partners were mostly daily assignments based on missions, and there was no fixed schedule.

In theory, under the premise that there is no one supervising each mission and even frequent changes of partners, the undercover identity should be less likely to be exposed.

But Zhu Fu Jingguang was exposed very suddenly.

Shen You Aoi recalled carefully and confirmed that no matter which line mentioned the causes and consequences of Morobushi Jingguang's exposure.

Also, how did Shuichi Akai know about Morobushi Kagemitsu's undercover identity and then confess to him that he was also an undercover agent?

Could it be that the winery not only determined Morobushi Kagemitsu's identity, but also suspected Akai Shuichi, so they sent the latter to carry out the undercover incommunicado?

After thinking for a while, Shenyou Aoi asked sincerely: "Who do you think is better at shooting, Scotch whisky, you or gin?"

Originally, Shen Youkui was going to ask "What do you think of Scottish whisky?", but asking this question was too abrupt, and it was basically like revealing that I knew there was something wrong with both of your identities.

After all, he was now a member of the Kurokata clan. What if Akai Shuichi had already confirmed that Morobushi Kagemitsu was also an undercover agent? After he asked this question, in order to protect his colleagues, Akai Shuichi would most likely send him away on the spot if he was no longer useful after the dinner.

No one can evaluate himself objectively, but he can evaluate others objectively.

Shuichi Akai was covering up Kamiya Aoi's overly pale skin. The two of them were very close to each other, and his breath almost fell on Kamiya Aoi's face when he whispered his answer.

"GIN's shooting is very accurate, Scotch whisky... his shooting is very similar to Bourbon's."

“…”

Kamiya Aoi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she felt that the masks of the two undercover Japanese public security officers had almost been revealed in the eyes of Akai Shuichi.

He was afraid that he might reveal something, so he quickly asked, "What about my shooting skills?"

Akai Shuichi's lips moved slightly, but he said nothing.

This was the fourth time today that he had been silenced.

He is not the kind of person who is good at sarcasm, otherwise he would have only one answer to this question -

How can someone who can’t even hit a ten-meter target still be considered a good shooter?

The clinking of glasses and the sight of beautiful ladies in fragrant clothes are the everlasting themes of banquets.

Shen Youkui stood in the corner holding a wine glass, and two red spots appeared abnormally on her usually pale face.

It was his fault for being careless! He thought he could just wear women's clothes. Unexpectedly, when he was changing clothes before leaving, Shuichi Akai, who had just returned from a trip, got a pair of essential props for disguising as a woman from somewhere.

Shen Youkui, with her silver hair tied behind her head, lowered her eyes, and her gaze fell on the high arc of her chest, and she took a deep breath.

It was clearly just a holographic game, but he felt a real sense of suffocation.

Just when Kamiya Aoi thought he wouldn't encounter anything more suffocating than what he was experiencing now, something even more suffocating happened.

Two unrecognizable acquaintances walked into the banquet hall.

Unrecognizable means that like Shen Youkui, one has been disguised so that no one can recognize the original identity.

These two people are named Toru Amuro and Vermouth.

Shuichi Akai said in person that Vermouth was a master of disguise. In the eyes of a master of disguise like her, people are no longer people, but models whose every detail can be used as a reference for change.

Kamiya Aoi had no doubt that the other party would recognize her.

So after seeing who was coming, he immediately let go of the wine glass and let it fall freely. He then pretended to be a frail girl who was frightened and backed away repeatedly, hiding among the strangers who were talking beside him.

The commotion he caused naturally attracted the attention of Toru Amuro and Vermouth.

The two of them attended the banquet as a business couple. At this time, Amuro Toru had an ordinary appearance, black hair and brown eyes. Vermouth was still a beauty, but she was no longer blonde and blue-eyed. Instead, she had black hair and black eyes, a typical ancient beauty.

Lifting the hair on her shoulders, Vermouth smiled softly and said, "The one who should have come with you was dear little Rose. What a pity! I wanted to see this child in a dress."

Having said that, she shifted her gaze away from the part where the little commotion was taking place, scanned the entire place, and finally fixed her eyes on a girl in a champagne-colored dress.

Standing in front of her was the former Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Bermode narrowed his eyes and said firmly, "I believe that my dear little Rose will be the most dazzling person in the banquet after she puts on the dress."

Amuro Toru: “…”

You are right.

[Sister Bei, my damn little mouth is laughing hahahahahahahaha! ]

[Don’t look at that girl! Look at the one on the right wearing a green skirt! Look, look!]

[Sister Bei: What a shame. I wanted to see this kid in a dress. Lei: Isn’t this.jpg]

[↘↘↘Can you see it? It’s here! ↘↘↘]

[Oh, I just woke up. My wife made me faint. What happened?]

[Brothers, do you have any idea about the fact that I was beaten up by a pair of pants just now?]

From Toru Amuro's perspective, he couldn't really see what the person looked like under the intersecting figures. He could only see a green skirt that shimmered like water under the light.

However, the bullet screen told him...the person standing there was Shen Youkui.

Amuro Toru's expression at this moment was so complicated that it was only thanks to the disguise that he was not noticed by Vermouth.

"Let's go and say hello first."

The two of them were here to complete the organization's mission, so that the couple who replaced them could get closer to the target. At this time, the banquet had just begun, so they had to meet the interpersonal relationships of this identity first.

Amuro Toru calmly withdrew his gaze and walked towards a small circle that was talking with Vermouth.

Qianqian escaped the danger. Shen Youkui's acting skills were superb. She stood up with trembling eyelashes like a real girl, softly thanked the stranger who had just helped her, took small steps, kicked the hem of her skirt like a rolling wave, and quickly moved to another position.

Shuichi Akai, who had just finished his bodyguard duties and rushed over not far away, saw Kamiya Aoi's back, which seemed to be fleeing in panic, and was sure that there must be someone he knew among the guests, and it was most likely Vermode as he had guessed earlier.

As for how Kamiya Aoi recognized the disguised Vermouth - Akai Shuichi still remembered that when the former was still outside the banquet hall, he used a mobile phone to take over the control of all nearby networks and cameras.

In order to avoid being tripped by the daughter of the Fujii family, Shuichi Akai didn't think any more, and planned to follow Kamiya Aoi's back and stay in a low-key corner with his long legs.

However, after taking only two steps, a man and a woman arm in arm suddenly appeared in front of him.

The black-haired, black-eyed beauty smiled gently.

“Such a wonderful evening! Perfect for a Sazerac, isn't it”

The author has something to say:

PS: Saranza is a cocktail made from whiskey and absinthe.

Thanks to my friend Pangjiang for the help with the lines!!

Shuichi: Why am I the one being blocked?

Aoi: Obviously, you are a good shooter, but when it comes to running away, you are far inferior to me.

Touzi: I testify that what he said is true.

Matsuda: I also testified that what he said was true.
