Chapter 78 [With her in my heart, everything can be her]
After the car drove out for dozens of meters, my wife Sayuri stopped hugging Scotland and instead gestured to Bourbon, asking him if it was safe in the car.
"If you have anything to say, just say it."
Bourbon's attitude was still pretty bad, but my wife Sayuri thought he was just unhappy about seeing Scotland injured.
She brushed her hair back, looking a bit innocent. "Don't be so angry. I've already replaced Scotland with my clone."
It's better than Scotland suffering such pain.
Scotland, who was standing beside her, opened his eyes and yawned loudly. In a lazy tone that "Scotland" would never use, he asked, "How long will I pretend to be him?"
This clone was discovered by my wife Sayuri when she was exploring her own memories. As long as she uses a certain character as a template when applying makeup, and the final product is highly similar to the character, she can then grab the character out of thin air.
Even if you want to change your gender, there is no problem as long as you prepare well.
Although fake organs have no actual function, no matter how cautious the organization is, it will not use a specific function of a code member as a basis for judging authenticity. The slight changes in body shape can be explained by changes in diet during this period.
(The 10,000-word story about Agatsuma Sayuri researching and cosplaying Scotland and successfully obtaining the male version of Agatsuma Scotland is omitted here.)
"At least you should make sure your injuries are mostly healed," replied Agatsuma Sayuri.
Bourbon, on the other hand, expressed a negative opinion: "This can only be done if the organization has no sniper missions during this period. If there are...
"Your clone also possesses Scottish sniping skills?"
That must not be the case.
If there were, my wife Sayuri wouldn't have to rush into the organization and be so eager to get along with Scotland.
Wouldn't it be better to just use a sniper rifle on the rooftop to knock the pistol away? ①
However, she felt it was better to stay close to each other than to try something with a chance of failure. Being with Scotland day and night was something my wife, Sayuri, and her clone had always wanted.
"Then I'll put some fake injury makeup on Scotland. If I use enough makeup, I won't be able to tell even if I touch him."
This makeup technique, which is comparable to disguise, made Bourbon look sideways.
"Is it strange?" Agatsuma Sayuri noticed the other person's gaze and asked with a smile.
"Actually, many cosplayers and makeup artists have this ability."
She drew a big circle with her arms, and what came to her mind were naturally the various cosplayers she saw at the comic convention.
For adult male makeup like Scotland, the only challenge is the body type—specifically, the height. The real challenge comes when you encounter characters that are missing arms or legs, or have an extra pair of wings, or aren't quite human at all, but are instead a spider with a human upper body, or a bird with only a human head.
Not to mention some mecha animations, which are basically characters wearing iron shells. They have to carry equipment weighing more than ten or even dozens of kilograms to survive the entire comic exhibition.
The Scottish people just wear high heels of more than 20 centimeters, a chest binder, a muscle suit, hide some blood bags, and add extra organs.
Sprinkle some water.
Bourbon was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "So, you can also use this ability to create an alibi?"
My wife Sayuri snorted softly, "You're not asking me to create an alibi for you, are you?"
Agatsuma Sayuri has cosplayed as Rei Furuya and even released a video with another cosplayer, Keimitsu Morofushi. Disguising the clone as Bourbon wouldn't be difficult, but to create a "Bourbon" clone, you can't just paint your exposed skin dark; you have to paint your entire body darker, dye your hair, and then dye it blonde.
Everything else is easy, but just dyeing the hair takes six hours.
Of course, as I said before, if you prepare in advance and get a golden wig that looks like real hair, you don't have to endure six hours of pain.
In that case, the most time-consuming step becomes dyeing the whole body darker.
"It's certainly possible. But let me make it clear that I don't have the same language skills as you." Agatsuma Sayuri spread her hands and did not emphasize the difficulty of the makeup. She only said that she could not learn the sarcastic Bourbon accent.
In fact, Agatsuma Sayuri does not have the ability to collect intelligence like Bourbon.
Bourbon glanced at her in the rearview mirror and said nothing more.
Now, Agatsuma Sayuri's real body is still in Agatsuma's family, while Scotland has gone to the United States. During the recuperation period given to him by the organization, he wants to bring back a child.
He is said to be a genius in programming and information technology, and my wife's family has made all preparations, just waiting for his return.
Originally, this matter could be done by Kenji Hagiwara or someone else, but it just so happened that the Scottish entity needed to stay away from people's eyes and ears. So it would be great if they could just go far away, complete the task, and come back after some time.
Hiroki Kashimura has changed his name to Hiroki Sawada. His mother was diagnosed with early symptoms of a serious illness during an accidental street medical examination and is currently receiving active treatment.
Therefore, during this period, his life became a straight line between school, hospital and home. His nanny made breakfast and picked him up from school every day.
After school, he would buy dinner for two, run to the hospital to have dinner with his mother, and then go home alone.
This is obviously not very safe.
Thanks to the fact that the ten-year-old boy didn't seem to have much money, Hiroki Sawada was able to spend these days safely.
But after a long time, the action of a little kid buying dinner every day obviously attracted the attention of some street thugs.
He had felt malicious gazes lingering on him for a long time, so he had no choice but to seek help from the Agatsuma family far away in Japan.
My wife's family arranged for someone to take care of him, but this care couldn't be seen by others and couldn't appear overly deliberate. For example, the street checkup that revealed Ms. Sawada's health problems was their doing.
If the disease is discovered too late, it may be impossible to recover. However, if it is discovered early, active treatment is enough to achieve long-term survival.
In the original work, Ms. Sawada's illness was not discovered until it was in the late stage, so she was forced to entrust her child to Thomas Schindler, who took the initiative to extend an olive branch. This also led to the subsequent tragedy of Hiroki Sawada.
At present, Ms. Sawada's condition is still in the early stages, and my wife's family is guarding all parts of the hospital to prevent Thomas Schindler from doing anything behind the scenes.
After all, the number of my wife's family members who came to the United States was small, and Thomas Schindler was fighting on his home soil, using various methods. Our people were exhausted, and even the power to protect Hiroki Sawada was weakened.
If this continues, Hiroki Sawada may not be legally adopted by Thomas Schindler like in his previous life, but may be illegally kidnapped.
Only then did he send a distress signal to my wife's family headquarters.
The two requests for help attracted Scotland, who was forced to recuperate in Japan.
"Are you Mr. Ryo Koyasu?" Takahata Kyoko② met me at the airport. This beautiful lady with such graceful manners looked elegant even when holding a name tag.
Morofushi Kagemitsu entered the United States legally, wearing casual clothing that was comfortable for movement. Seeing his alias, he approached the woman and asked, "Yes, you are Ms. Takahata?"
After the two exchanged greetings and confirmed each other's identities, Takahata Kyoko introduced Sawada Hiroki's current situation to Morofushi Kagemitsu.
"That child works very hard and tells Ms. Sawada about what's happening at school every day...but he's actually being bullied here too...and he refuses to share any of his negative emotions with his sick mother."
He was unable to adapt to the rigid education model in Japan, and was still excluded in the United States because of his Asian face and interests that were beyond the interests of his peers.
If Ms. Sawada had known this earlier, she would probably have preferred to let her children stay in Japan. At least in Japan, there are still adults and children in my wife's family who are willing to play with Hiroki Sawada.
"How is Ms. Sawada's condition?"
"Before, the lesion wrapped around several large blood vessels and was inoperable. After chemotherapy, it is now possible to have elective surgery."
It sounds like if the operation goes well, this woman's life will most likely be saved.
At least that's the case this time.
"Her disease... although it was discovered relatively early this time, the recurrence rate is high and the prognosis is not very good. The five-year survival rate is very low."
The original work does not mention how long it took Ms. Sawada from the onset of the disease to her death, but according to the current diagnosis, if it was not discovered until the later stages, she might not have survived for more than half a year.
This also explains why she would rather let the child be adopted by a stranger than give him to his biological father.
"I have a younger sister, and I raised her since she was a child. Seeing Hiroki Sawada is like seeing my younger sister as a child." Takahata Kyoko's eyes moistened as she spoke. "I really feel sorry for him."
"Nearby gangs have noticed that Sawada Hiroki often acts alone. We don't have many people in the United States, and none of us have the ability to fight, so we requested support."
It can be seen that Takahata Kyoko is very concerned about the situation of Sawada and his mother. Morifushi Kagemitsu only asks a question or two occasionally, and then he talks a lot like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.
As she spoke of her feelings, she covered her lips with her hand, suppressing a sob. Her delicate hands were painted with manicures, the gleaming diamonds and the epoxy resin coating on the nails reflecting light in all directions, suddenly occupying a lot of Zhu Fujingguang's field of vision.
After all, my girlfriend has liked to wear that kind of shiny makeup for a long time, so it is inevitable that she would think of my wife Sayuri because of the similar factors.
Ever since learning that Agatsuma Sayuri possessed supernatural powers, Morobushi Kagemitsu hadn't had the chance to discuss them in detail. According to Agatsuma Sayuri, she had only just begun to sort out some of the uses of these supernatural powers from her past memories.
To put it bluntly, she herself hasn't figured it out yet.
Even if you know it in your memory, it will inevitably feel unfamiliar if you have never actually operated it.
What's more, in the memory, it seems that Agatsuma Sayuri is not very good at this ability. Clones are useful and easy to create, but when the clones return, they will have an impact on the memory, making amnesia a normal state.
Just the manicure reminded Zhu Fujingguang of his girlfriend who was far away on the other side of the ocean. After he woke up, he didn't even have the chance to sort out the relationship problems between himself and my wife Sayuri.
It was just that due to Agatsuma Sayuki's relentless pursuit of him, the organization's recognition of their relationship, and the irreplaceable importance of Agatsuma Sayuki to their next plan, they had to maintain this superficial relationship.
In fact, only Zhufu Jingguang himself knows what their feelings are like.
It all depends on his thoughts.
