Chapter 18: Distillery Occasion NEW! #ScottishSpecialEvents…
"Open the door! FBI!"
Holding guns in both hands, the girl, who looked like a standard stereotypical white police officer who enforces the law violently, shouted this at the empty bedroom.
The pupils, which were originally in a relaxed state, suddenly shrank into tiny dots as big as a needle tip. Akai Shuichi's inner vigilance towards the girl in front of him suddenly rose to an unprecedented level.
Horror flashed in his olive-green eyes, and a complex and obscure emotion was swirling within them.
He began to be thankful for his habit of operating in the dark to avoid unnecessary trouble when sneaking in.
Thanks to the cover of the environment, Shuichi Akai was able to maintain his usual personality without revealing any flaws when the other person turned his head to look at him and greeted him in an excited tone.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with the player scoring the goal.
Evidence has been found that the target has close contacts with other forces. Under normal circumstances, it is only necessary to successfully assassinate the target of the mission in a way that does not attract public attention. There is no need to continue to hide your whereabouts.
It's just that as an FBI investigator who infiltrated the organization undercover, Shuichi Akai would be allergic reflexively when he heard the word "FBI".
Akai Xiu remained calm, walked past the other person and entered the target's bedroom, searching with her for corners where important documents might be hidden.
Calmly separating consciousness and body into two independent entities, the spirit was as taut as a bow stretched to its limit, yet not a single trace of it was reflected in the limbs.
There was no mistake or hesitation in every movement of his hands. He fiddled with the spy camera in his hand as if he were handling a firearm. No one could tell the restlessness in his heart at that moment.
"Just now..." Akai Shuichi made his tone colder, closer to the tone Gin used when interrogating a traitor, to cover up the awkwardness. He didn't shift his gaze to the player beside him, focusing on his hands, making it seem more like he was just asking casually, "Why do you call yourself the FBI?"
When talking about 'FBI', Shuichi Akai's voice was normal and sounded no different from before.
This is a temptation.
While testing the other party's attitude, Shuichi Akai also quickly recalled every detail of his interactions with the other party. He did not think that any of his actions had led to the exposure of his identity.
If there was, it wouldn't be a light-hearted, non-threatening, merely joking "Open the door! FBI!"
Instead, the murderous Gin appeared in front of him and confronted him.
"Huh?"
After getting to know each other, Fushimi Kyoji thought that the other party would be the type of person who was ruthless and taciturn like Gin, and he hardly thought that he would take the initiative to speak during the mission.
"Ah, you're talking about that, that is to say..." The teammate's response made up for the cold treatment the player received from Gin.
Shuichi Akai seemed to have disappeared into the shadows, almost blending into the darkness, making it impossible to see the specific expression on his face at this moment.
Even though she couldn't see his expression, it didn't affect the player's enthusiasm. She put down the documents in her hand and made random gestures to increase the emotions she conveyed to the other party.
"Wouldn't it be impressive to yell like that while kicking the door?"
The gamer, fully armed and standing in front of the closed door, said this. She hesitated and said, "Or... next time I'll call the CIA?"
"...I always feel like it's not as catchy as the FBI saying it."
Shuichi Akai: ...Not much better than before.
The ace investigator who hides his true identity and goes undercover in the organization can only turn a blind eye to the player's blatant insult to the FBI.
"Looks like I've arrived at the right time?"
The blond young man leaning against the door looked at them with a smile, his inquiring eyes sweeping over the two of them one after another. After a long while, he spoke again: "I hope I didn't disturb you."
Realizing the presence of another person, Akai Shuichi immediately straightened himself out and glanced at him coldly: "Need I remind you, we are on a mission, Bourbon?"
"How cold, Lei, we seem to be teammates." Amuro Toru tossed the transferred fingerprint to Akai Shuichi, unconcerned with his teammate's cold reception. "If I heard correctly, the topic we were talking about just now probably has little to do with this mission."
"Hmm… 'FBI'? Did anyone mention that word?"
Shuichi Akai left the bedroom and walked straight towards the study.
Completely ignored, Amuro Toru shifted his attention to the other person, his fingers pinching his chin, his eyes curved: "Sorry, did I ask about your little secret?"
He would make subtle attempts with a hint of malice, just enough to be noticed, but he would withdraw in time before really angering someone, as if he had an extremely keen sense of other people's emotions, allowing him to always tread on the edge of the minefield without crossing it rashly.
"We were indeed talking about the FBI, but it probably has nothing to do with the FBI." Fushimi Kyoji thought for a moment and said, "We just talked about it."
"I thought so too," he said suddenly without any context.
Ai?
Fushimi Kyoki turned his head to look at Amuro Toru in confusion, trying to confirm the reason why he said that from the expression on his face.
Um……
It was too dark, I couldn't see it.
The skin color blends perfectly into the environment!
Amuro Toru chuckled lightly, but it was only with a hint of derision. "They're nothing more than awful guys whose mere presence causes trouble to the operation, muddies the situation, and gets in the way. There's really nothing much to talk about."
...It can be seen that the resentment towards the FBI is quite strong!
Gin has said this more than once.
Ah, but the forces that Gin remembers and hates include MI6, CIA, BND, etc...
In short, there are so many hostile forces that they need to be listed in a table.
It feels like I'm going against the whole world.
Fushimi Kyoji recalled how a man once described the FBI: "Like a swarm of flies that won't go away."
"Heh...you're as annoying as a fly." He also sneered at this time.
Amuro Toru's mocking voice coincidentally overlapped with the player's voice, and he seemed to turn his head in her direction - in the darkness, a rough outline could be vaguely seen from the ambient light reflected by his light-colored short hair.
"It seems like we are on the same page. Maybe we will get along very well from now on." As he got closer to the player, the slightly frivolous smile in the other person's voice became clearer.
There's no real feeling...
To his words.
Maybe it's because my voice rises when I smile? I feel a more subtle...
Uh, I can’t explain it clearly!
The only thing that is clear is that Toru Amuro seems to hate the FBI.
"Bourbon?" Akai Shuichi paused. He glanced at the girl leaning towards him. His excellent night vision allowed him to see the look on her face, which showed that she knew a secret but was trying hard to suppress it, waiting for him to ask her questions.
"Hmm!" He watched her approach mysteriously, slightly tiptoeing to get closer to him, covering her mouth with her hand as if to hide something, and whispering in his ear, "Bourbon, he really hates the FBI!"
Akai Shuichi: "..."
Perhaps the taciturn character in his organization was too deeply rooted in people's minds. The girl, who received no response, continued to share her new discovery without realizing it. "So, if you want to get closer to Bourbon, you can talk bad about the FBI together."
"...Thank you, I understand." Akai Shuichi said with a complicated tone.
He absolutely doesn't want it.
no way.
Let him mention the FBI in front of the organization's code-name members. I believe he will soon be completely desensitized to the word 'FBI'.
What Akai Shuichi cares more about is...
An almost indifferent scrutiny appeared in his emerald green, gloomy eyes. His height advantage allowed him to easily see all the changes in the girl's expression.
Is frequently mentioning the FBI in front of him unintentional or a test of him?
What is it?
"Zizi..." A sudden noise came from the communication device, followed by Scotland's calm voice. According to Amuro Toru, he was monitoring the target's movements from his high sniper position, so he could also hear the whistling wind from his side. "The target seems to be intending to leave the party."
Amuro Toru, who was casually flipping through the documents scattered on the desk, raised his eyes and looked at his two teammates with a smile: "It's time to make a choice. Should we try our luck and try to pry some more information out of the target, or... just solve the problem directly?"
Unsettled and doubtful about the player's actions, Shuichi Akai shifted his focus to the current mission. He asked Scotland on the other side of the device, "Scotland?"
"...Understood." Scotland said.
*Mission: Investigate the organization members in a team (4/4) state (Completed)
"The overall rating of this event is 'A'!
【Perception】+10!
【Reputation】+10! 」
"*Task rewards being calculated..."
The mission was successfully completed. Just like when they set out, the four of them were silent throughout the entire process. They returned to the temporary safe house in silence, omitting the friendly greetings that were unnecessary in the organization, and went back to their rooms.
The player also chose to skip the rest of the day.
"*Would you like to end all schedules for today and move directly to the next day?"
"[whether"
【skip】
"*22:40→2:35"
Uh-huh! ?
"*loading...loading..."
The player who woke up in the early morning sat on the bed, staring blankly with his eyes wide open.
"*Would you like to end all schedules for today and move directly to the next day?"
"whether]"
The option to skip the schedule is not grayed out, which means she can still skip the time when no events occur.
"Sleep" in the game means the screen goes black and then back on, and the game time becomes 6:00.
As for waking up in the early morning, this is the first time I have encountered such a thing.
Did something happen?
Fushimi Kyoji got up from the bed, opened the door, and listened attentively for a while with bated breath.
“…” It was so quiet that even the chirping of cicadas could not be heard.
After passing through the normal corridor and going down the stairs to the first floor, she saw an unexpected person.
"Scotland?"
The cold moonlight shone through the window, covering the lonely figure.
He seemed to be immersed in inexplicable thoughts and didn't even notice the sound of the player coming down the stairs and looked over immediately.
Scotland turned his head quickly when she spoke, his eyes wary and alert, his brows furrowed in a hidden frown.
After seeing the player standing on the stairs clearly, his unconsciously furrowed brows slowly relaxed. After a moment of stunned silence, he slowly exhaled.
“…It’s you.”
