Chapter 65 The First Player

"Lei... shouldn't be that kind of person, right?"

Sitting in the back seat, Morofushi Keimitsu heard Saikai Haruto's "slander" against Akai Shuichi and spoke hesitantly - although he did not have much contact with Lei, from his experience in Yokohama in the previous two days, and some of the comments about Lei that Furuya Rei had occasionally mentioned to him before, he always felt that there was a big gap between the image of Lei and the image described by Cointreau?

"He wouldn't do something like what you said, Cointreau?"

I always feel that... Cointreau is talking about Ley on the surface, but in fact he is warning him.

Miyano Shiho turned her head quickly - only then did she see that there was a man sitting in the back seat.

The man sitting in the back seat had black hair and blue eyes, and a circle of stubble around his lips made him look a bit messy, making it difficult to tell his real age - he could be in his twenties or thirties.

Because the visibility inside the car was dim, Miyano Shiho couldn't see his appearance clearly at a quick glance, and could only roughly judge that he probably didn't look very "fierce" -

The aura around him was quite similar to that of the code-named members of the organization she had met before - Gin was deep, dangerous and hard to approach, Canada was lively, Bourbon was ambiguous, and Cointreau was dangerous and arrogant that made people unpredictable. Compared with them, this man's aura was also cold but also much more reserved. If he hadn't taken the initiative to speak just now, Miyano Shiho would not even have noticed that there was an extra person in the back seat.

Almost like a ghost.

Miyano Shiho couldn't help but tighten her seat belt - what was the purpose of this person's appearance?

"Scotland, you can't judge a person by his appearance. How do you know that Ley is not that kind of person?"

Xi Hai Qing Dou said lazily, "Of course I know that you wouldn't do such a thing, right? Being too curious is not a good thing."

Was it really a warning to him? On the surface, it was a warning to him to "take action" against Shirley, but in reality, it was a warning to him not to get too close to Shirley... It seems that Shirley is really very important.

After listening to Shirley's "precautions" for most of the day, Morofushi Kagemitsu suddenly became alert when he heard Saikai Haruto's last two sentences.

"Don't worry... I'm not so crazy as to be interested in an underage girl." He said in a light tone.

"That's enough." Miyano Shiho couldn't stand it any longer: "Can you at least not talk about this in front of me?!"

"Probably not." Xi Haiqingdou's tone was still brisk, and he didn't even turn his head to look at her. "I forgot to introduce you to the person sitting in the back. The person sitting in the back is Scotch Whiskey. He is a member of the action team and I temporarily seconded him here. After all, Scotch will be responsible for taking care of you for a period of time. If you don't agree in advance, it will be very troublesome."

Miyano Shiho was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?"

"Because I will probably be very busy in the next few days, I need to hand over some of your matters to Scotland during this period of time, Shirley."

Xi Haiqingdou briefly explained it to her again, and then said: "You should learn from Scotland and don't be lazy. At the very least...you should learn to shoot a gun and get used to not being afraid of guns and explosives."

The voice was gentle and smiling, very peaceful, and it was the standard tone used for joking and being intimate with others.

"…Isn't that necessary? I can take care of myself."

Miyano Shiho lowered her voice and said softly, "Can I not learn it?"

Xi Hai Qing Dou turned his head to look at her. The girl with short brown hair sat upright with her eyes fixed straight ahead, her gaze fixed emptily on the void in front of her. She pursed her lips, lowered her eyelashes slightly, and revealed an attitude of resistance.

“No way.”

He turned his head back and said, "I know you haven't been exposed to this before, Shirley... But this shouldn't be hard for you to understand, right? If you don't have the ability to protect yourself, what will you do if you encounter danger in the future? Forget about anything else, just one incident like yesterday is enough."

"I'm just an ordinary scientific researcher."

"Learning to shoot a gun is not difficult."

"It's okay if Shirley doesn't want to learn, right?"

Morobushi Kagemitsu said, "There's no need for her to learn this anyway, right?"

His voice was cold and calm, his tone was flat, and he even sounded a little indifferent. It didn't sound like he was comforting her at all, but it made her feel much more "at ease" than Cointreau, and made Miyano Shiho feel as if she had been relieved from suffocation.

However, just when she had a glimmer of hope, it was immediately shattered by Cointreau: "How could that be?"

He couldn't help laughing as if he had heard something funny. "Are you kidding, Scotland?"

"Even ordinary members who have just joined the organization are not incapable of shooting. Besides, we are just learning, not going on a mission. As a member of the organization and my ward, it would be a bit strange to feel scared when seeing small things like guns and bombs, right?"

"Others are fine, but you must learn this well. I have prepared a special gift for you."

His voice was not loud, but Miyano Shiho felt like it was hitting her chest: "Or Shirley, if you don't want Scotland to teach you, do you want me to teach you?"

Miyano Shiho remained silent, not really wanting to know what the "gift" he was talking about was.

How should I put it? Actually, what she was afraid of yesterday was not the "explosion" itself, but the discovery that it was very likely related to the organization and Cointreau.

Moreover, she has lived in the United States for so many years, and the United States is not a country that prohibits guns. She did not react so strongly to guns and explosions. It is one thing to not be afraid, but it is another to "shoot" yourself.

But she also knew that Cointreau would not agree with this reason. His attitude was also very obvious, a tough attitude that was completely opposite to his gentle tone.

His real purpose was to force her to learn how to shoot, right? Was it because he was dissatisfied with her performance yesterday?

Miyano Shiho clenched her palms.

Perhaps during this period, Cointreau was indeed very tolerant in some small matters and listened to her opinions, but at this time, he was still the same as before - tough, arrogant, and would not accept any rejection or rebuttal.

This conclusion hit her a little, so Miyano Shiho could only agree quietly: "...I understand, I'll let Scotland teach me."

She couldn't imagine what would happen if she let Cointreau teach her... As expected, no matter how bad the option was, once it was placed in front of Cointreau, it would immediately become the best option compared to him.

"I knew you were a good girl, Shirley." Xi Hai Qing Dou laughed.

"It's a pity that you didn't choose me... But I'm not a patient teacher. After all, Scotland is more suitable. Scotland is a sniper by profession, so it's perfect for him to teach you."

After he said this, Miyano Shiho became more motivated: "What if I really don't have that talent and I can never learn it?"

"If Scotland can't teach, there's still me. If I can't, there's still Ley and Gin. Canada's shooting skills are not bad either... There are quite a few people in the organization who are good at shooting."

Xi Haiqing Dou didn't take it seriously and gave an example to comfort her: "If you don't have talent, then just use more people and time. This is not a math problem. You can learn it eventually. If you really can't do it, you can practice until you can form 'muscle memory' in the end."

Use time and “numbers” to pile it up?

Miyano Shiho's face turned pale, and she turned her head away and stopped talking.

Since Miyano Shiho agreed, Morofushi Kagemitsu didn't say anything more.

The atmosphere in the car seemed to suddenly become sticky and dull. Morofushi Kagemitsu was sitting right behind Saikai Haruto, and he could just see Miyano Shiho's profile from his direction - the fourteen-year-old girl was pretty, with her facial features still a little childish and round. She turned her head to look out the window, and even if one couldn't see her expression clearly, one could tell her resistance and unhappiness.

Judging from these alone, Shirley's performance does not seem like a code name member of an organization.

Instead, he looks more like an ordinary teenage child.

But after thinking about it, Morofushi Jingguang still said nothing, but closed his eyes and pretended to be concentrating and thinking.

Saikai Haruto didn't care too much about Miyano Shiho's emotions, or maybe he didn't think there was anything wrong with it at all - I swear to God, he was really doing this for Miyano Shiho's own good this time.

Just like he said, learning to shoot is to enable her to better "protect herself", and he will not force her to shoot at others. And at least she can't turn pale with fear if he takes out a gun from his arms one day? Resistance is something that is trained little by little!

This seemed like just a small matter to Haruto Nishimi. After all, with Morobushi Kagemitsu's ability and personality, he didn't think he would be unable to teach Miyano Shiho well - after all, shooting a gun was really not difficult at all in Haruto Nishimi's opinion, especially since Miyano Shiho only wanted to learn how to use a pistol, and he didn't ask her to become a "sharpshooter".

So Xi Haiqing Dou naturally and carelessly put this matter aside.

After "entrusting" Miyano Shiho to Morobushi Kagemitsu, Saikai Haruto breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he could finally happily return to his previous routine.

Sleep until you wake up naturally in the morning, and eat lunch when you wake up; two meals a day won’t make you starve to death; the evening is a good time to “work” when you are full of energy, and go to bed when you feel sleepy or tired, and it is common to sleep directly in the workplace.

——What a wonderful life! Ahead, a wonderful life is waving to him!

However, the reality was not as good as he imagined.

——The main culprit who prevented him from having a better life was Morobushi Kagemitsu.

No one knows what was wrong with Morobushi Kagemitsu, but ever since he moved in for convenience - due to the different "work" locations, Morobushi Kagemitsu's residence is nearly 20 kilometers away from the current residences of Saikai Haruto and Miyano Shiho, so Morobushi Kagemitsu just moved in - he not only took care of Miyano Shiho's daily pick-up and drop-off, three meals a day, and various housework by himself, he even wanted to take care of Saikai Haruto's life as well.

Including but not limited to waking him up at a fixed time in the morning and preparing three meals a day; he even dragged him out of his laboratory when he stayed too late every night.

What kind of "Mr. Snail" is he? !

The free life he dreamed of was shattered again, and he was once again dragged out of the laboratory unwillingly by Morobushi Jingguang, and Xi Haiqingdou finally put on a mask of pain on his face.
