Chapter 63 Fourteen Shotas

For some unknown reason, under the ineffective protests of Bourbon and Scotland, when the group arrived at the next scheduled destination, two "uninvited guests" appeared in the team.

"Let's do another warm-up exercise. Do you need my help?" On the beginner's ski slope, three adults surrounded a child, staring at the child's every move seriously, and one of them asked kindly.

A muffled child's voice was heard in the middle, and the other party repeatedly emphasized: "I already know how to do it."

If you only look at this picture, it will definitely remind you of a child trafficker abducting a child. However, the truth is——

"Okay, then the next step is--" Hagiwara Kenji stretched out a finger wrapped in a glove, and said mysteriously and seductively, "Learn to fall!"

Matsuda Jinpei, who was standing next to him, took a look at the child's height and let out a muffled laugh.

Chi Jiang and Na Yue should thank them for not knowing each other openly, otherwise this curly-haired idiot would have to provide him with a one-stop service of mocking, recording and filming, right?

Scotland, who was standing opposite him, did not laugh at him. Instead, he carefully checked the equipment on him for the last time.

At this moment, Chijiang Nayue discovered another inconvenience of becoming a child.

He really knows how to ski, but now he has to pretend that he can't in front of his three friends from another world, and he has to accept their exaggerated words to coax children.

Chi Jiang Na Yue took a deep breath, the idea in his mind had never been so firm: if he found out after returning that Zhen Pingjun and the others all had memories of the mission world... even if the [Book] blocked him, he would punish these world consciousnesses who were clearly the ones asking for help but were actively creating trouble for him!

According to Bourbon's original action plan, after leaving Lake Sawajiri, they came to the Genting Ski Resort on Mount Asera. After putting on their equipment, they found that Bourbon and Ley had gone somewhere, and only Scotland and A were forced to stay and "chat and laugh" with the two police officers from Tokyo.

That's right, Hagiwara and the other guy introduced themselves on the way and told them that they currently work for the Metropolitan Police Department.

Even though more than half an hour had passed, Chijiang Nayue still couldn't help but burst out laughing when she recalled the expression on Lei's face at that time.

He could guess what Ley was thinking, which was nothing more than 'We should find a way to get these two Japanese policemen away from here, otherwise they might be implicated by the organization!', or 'Bourbon and Scotland don't seem to like these two policemen because they are members of the organization?'...

However, from a God's perspective, of the six people in a rented minivan, five except Lei could barely be considered as members of the Japanese police system.

After thinking about this, Chi Jiang Na Yue's eyes turned into pity when looking at Lei Yi. He was just about to hold up a cardboard next to the window of the building to prevent Lei Yi, the lone FBI agent, from escaping.

"Wow, look at those two!"

There was a sudden commotion around them. The three adults and one child looked at each other, and simultaneously had a bad premonition.

They raised their heads and looked in the direction where the others were exclaiming. They were first dazzled by a vast expanse of whiteness, and then the four of them were collectively speechless.

It should be said that Genting has a total of seven ski slopes. On the left side are three intermediate slopes and one beginner slope, and on the right side are two advanced slopes and one beginner slope. The beginner practice slope where the Scottish group is located is on the one on the right.

So when they looked up, they saw two figures wearing different colored ski suits on the adjacent advanced trail. They were wearing snowboards and nimbly diving on the snow. The distance between them was very close, as if they were competing in speed.

But no one knew which side took the lead. When passing a slope, he jumped high, did a skillful somersault, and then turned to look at his opponent provocatively.

The situation became even more out of control, and the competition between the two people directly changed from 'who reaches the finish line first' to 'who has the more fancy and cool moves'.

I can’t stand it anymore. Do the FBI and the police also offer freestyle skiing classes when they train undercover agents? These two are so childish when put together!

Akae Nayue looked at Matsuda and Hagiwara, who could not hide their shock even with their goggles on, then looked at Scotland, who had already begun to clench his fists and was emitting black energy, and finally gave an even more sympathetic look to the two people on the advanced track.

It's obvious that these two guys are competing with each other. They are so high-profile. They can't later explain to Gin, who discovered that the two code members were on the trending searches, that "this is to train Olympic talents for the organization", right?

"Fu...Amuro-kun's skiing skills are really good." Kenji Hagiwara praised dryly.

“Is this the time to praise this?” Matsuda Jinpei suddenly pointed over there and laughed, “Those two idiots, they were so focused on posing that they even slipped. Hahahaha!”

Akae Nazuki couldn't see even when he stood on tiptoe, so he had to pull the tallest one, Hagiwara Kenji, to help. He looked up and took off his ski goggles, revealing his expressionless but pitiful face. His round, moist eyes looked straight at the police officer.

Hagiwara Kenji was in a daze for a few seconds, and then without Akae Nazuki asking him to do anything, he suddenly reached out and picked up the child. He moved carefully and let the child sit on his shoulders.

Chi Jiang Na Yue, who had been hugged like this by Lei Yi before, was too lazy to complain about the strange tacit understanding between the two of them.

After saying thank you crisply, he turned his head to look at the end of the snow track where Bourbon and Ley were competing, and enjoyed their embarrassing situation happily, leaving Hagihara Kenji staring at his profile with a thoughtful look.

It's not an illusion, Hagiwara Kenji thought.

The fact that he and Jinpei Matsuda will appear in Niigata is somewhat related to their last trip to Hakata.

That day he wanted to drive after the fleeing people, but Matsuda Jinpei stopped him.

"I saw it," Matsuda Jinpei said quickly, "The one coming out of that hotel was a blond bastard!"

Rei Furutani, their colleague whom they haven't heard from for a long time.

The young dyeing group looked at each other and gave up the plan to chase after them.

As early as the time when they had just graduated, Hagiwara and the other two realized the peculiarities of the work of their two missing friends - these two people who graduated with extremely high grades did not openly join the police system; they "happened" to be absent when the group graduation photos were distributed; there was an accidental fire in the archive room of the police academy that stored the files of that class of students, and their files were burned to ashes... and so on and so forth.

This is not hard to guess, right? Their friends are not the kind of people who would give up the police career, so it can only be that they are in some highly secretive position.

For example, undercover.

So the two guessed that meeting a good friend who was traveling with the uninvited guest who sniped them in a place like Hakata most likely meant that the friend was indeed undercover in some dangerous organization. Then the best help they could do was to pretend that they didn't see it under the circumstances at that time and help them cover up with the police.

After that day, Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda ended their exchange career and returned to the Metropolitan Police Department for debriefing. That afternoon, Inspector Megure from the First Investigation Division came over again and handed them two hotel coupons and a short vacation approved by the higher-ups.

"Just think of it as a trip to relax. You guys have been really hard at work in Hakata this time." Officer Megure sighed and reminded obliquely, "The new mayor of Hakata happened to be assassinated that day. Maybe it will be linked to the Metropolitan Police Department soon."

Unfortunately, the two of them were indeed downstairs in the hotel on the night the new mayor was assassinated.

This publicly funded holiday was supposedly for relaxation, but was actually for avoiding the limelight. Anyway, both of them accepted it without a care in the world, which led to the encounter with the Scottish guys again.

The chance encounter was indeed an accident, but the proposal to travel with Scotland and the others was intentional, and it was Jinpei Matsuda who first proposed it.

"As expected, you still care about them." Jinpei Matsuda, who always gives people a reckless first impression, is actually the most careful and sensitive person. He said calmly, "We may run into them somewhere in the future. If we want to rationalize our familiarity with them, it's best to find a chance to 'get to know' them in advance."

Matsuda Jinpei added: "At least for now, there is only one dangerous person around them."

This refers to Ley.

Indeed, so during the rest of the journey together, most of their attention was focused on the three adults, and they didn't pay much attention to the little kid who had a strange temperament, a cold expression but a delicate and cute face.

It was not until now that he saw A's complete appearance again that Kenji Hagiwara realized that the familiarity he felt when he first glanced at her was not an illusion.

This child must be related to that person.

When Lei and Bourbon came back, Kenji Hagihara finally stopped comparing A's face with his memory. He gently put the child down and stood him on the snow, then squatted down to keep his eyes level with the child.

"Excuse me..."

After Hagiwara Kenji spoke, he hesitated again. He stared at the pair of bright, jewel-like aqua red eyes, but another pair of dull but relaxed and lively eyes of the same color appeared in his mind.

The breath he exhaled condensed into white mist in the air: "Excuse me, are you Granty's brother?"

What Hagiwara Kenji didn't see was that the moment he said this, the other four people present, who had originally not been paying attention here, instantly looked in his direction.

Jinpei Matsuda had only caught a glimpse of Granti's profile on that bridge, so he was not familiar with him.

But Kenji Hagiwara is different. Although he and Grandy did not have contact for a long time, their meeting was too dramatic. As a result, Grandy often appeared in his dreams for the past four years. Either Grandy was shooting next to the bomb in the building, or Grandy was jumping off the bridge humming a weird song.

Therefore, even though A was a five-year-old child whose facial features had not yet fully developed, and Granty, whom he had met twice, was obviously an adult, Kenji Hagiwara still recognized this face.

On the side, Scotland remembered what A said in Hakata, that Granty was dead, and with a tingling scalp, he was about to stop Hagiwara Kenji from continuing to ask such questions that would inadvertently open the child's wound.

The next second, A shook his head with a calm expression.

"no."

Before Hagiwara Kenji could ask further questions, A put on a stern face and seriously corrected him, "I am the older brother."

...You care most about your seniority points!
