Chapter 53: The Winery [Achievement: Unable to Become a Bond]...
“It tastes good.”
After tasting the food, Matsuda Jinpei offered a fair assessment. He removed his sunglasses, his gaze fixed on the disguised Morobushi Kagemitsu. He spoke with a faint gritted teeth, "It's very similar to the cooking of a friend of mine."
Sensing the unpleasant aura emanating from Matsuda, and aware that his absence had irritated his classmate, Morofushi Kagemitsu lowered his eyes and replied with a composed expression, "If it's the same ingredients and the cooking method is similar, the taste shouldn't be too different."
"...Is that so?" Matsuda Jinpei suppressed his emotions and sneered, almost squeezing out these words from between his teeth.
ha……
He was quick to distance himself from the matter, just like last time, pretending not to know the blond bastard and Hagi. If one day he doesn't want to be a police officer anymore, he can probably easily find a high-paying job as an actor.
The above thoughts frequently flashed through Matsuda Jinpei's mind as his dissatisfaction gradually grew.
He could have said something else that would not reveal Zhu Fu Jingguang's identity, which he tried so hard to hide, but would still be enough to frighten people and make them break out in cold sweats.
……never mind.
Fushimi Kyoji looked at Matsuda Jinpei's slightly pursed lips, and his expressionless face looked particularly difficult to deal with: Are the negative hormones in his body coming up? Is he ready to find fault and not pay?
"...I'm leaving." After saying this, Jinpei Matsuda stood up.
"Hmm? That's it..."
Fushimi Kyoji glanced outside the door, but didn't see Hagiwara Kenji. Unable to react, he asked, "Did he leave?"
Matsuda Jinpei didn't seem to notice anything wrong with leaving early: "Ha, I only took half a day off."
Players condemned: "So Officer Matsuda is the kind of person who abandons his friends for work? How sinful! So disgusting! So despicable!"
What on earth are the criminals so justifiably dissatisfied with?
"I'm sorry, I'm the kind of workaholic who is so stingy that I'm only willing to waste half a day of my vacation on my friends." Matsuda Jinpei admitted it without mercy and without any guilt at all.
Good, so frank!
The player half-opened his eyes and said quietly, "Care for the elderly living alone. Don't let waiting become a regret."
This guy...
Jinpei Matsuda found it funny, but he still had a sour face and raised his middle finger, as if he was going to teach the players a lesson in his own way.
“…”
The girl who did not choose to dodge but closed her eyes waited for a long time. She did not feel any pain on her forehead and opened her eyes in confusion. At the same time the other party opened her eyes, Matsuda Jinpei loosened his bent fingers and hit her on the forehead neither lightly nor heavily.
Uh-woo!
It doesn’t hurt…
Matsuda Jinpei didn't look at the figure who was half a beat behind and covered his forehead with his hands. This time he left with a lighter step, waving his hand behind him casually and said, "Let's go."
The hand pressing on his forehead moved down, revealing his eyes staring at Matsuda Jinpei's departing back.
Zhu Fujingguang, who was standing in the player's blind spot, moved his lips silently, and his eyes gradually became warm.
Goodbye, Matsuda.
"Do you want me to clear the tableware?"
After watching his colleague leave without looking back for a while, Zhu Fujingguang quickly put away the emotions that should not appear on a waiter. He put on an unmistakable gentle smile and asked for the customer's opinion.
Following the voice beside her, Fushimi Kyoki shifted her gaze from Matsuda Jinpei to the waiter who was patiently waiting for her reply.
I don’t know if it’s because they’ve seen it too many times recently, but players are almost memorizing this ordinary face in front of them.
You really care about it.
This NPC appears way too frequently.
A similar thought also subtly emerged in Zhu Fujingguang's mind.
ah……
He showed that "why would you talk to her" expression again.
As a Japanese public security officer, observing people's words and expressions is also a basic ability. Therefore, Zhu Fushiki Jingguang could easily tell that such an expression had nothing to do with disgust or aversion, nor did it seem like an act of rejecting him from talking to him.
It is a kind of incomprehension from the heart, as if encountering an unexpected development and not knowing how to react for a moment.
Zhu Fujingguang thought more than once that perhaps the player recognized his true identity, which led to such a subtle reaction.
This speculation was quickly denied. Zhu Fujingguang was convinced that his every word and action was in line with the waiter's personality and there was nothing wrong with it.
especially……
His identity as a Japanese public security officer was completely exposed to the organization. Putting aside Zero's coercion and inducement, Fushimi chose to cover up for him without much hesitation.
If he really saw through his disguise, given his usual frankness and directness, he might call out his real name in public.
"Oh... okay." Fushimi Kyoki nodded slowly, agreed casually, then lowered his head and focused his attention on the phone that was stuck on the conversation interface with Hagiwara Kenji.
She didn't look up, and Zhu Fujingguang could let his eyes linger on the soft light blonde hair for a long time, and he confirmed it again.
Fushimi Kyoki didn't hate him.
I don't dislike him either.
It was completely different from what he had felt in the organization, when he was still Scotch Whisky...
That is...
indifferent.
Zhu Fushiji Jingguang's breathing slowed down unconsciously. The overwhelming amount of schoolwork he had endured in the police academy came in handy at this moment, allowing him to separate his consciousness and feelings into two different individuals, and to ask his concerned answers in a subtle voice without being affected.
"Excuse me……"
As soon as he opened his mouth, those alert green eyes looked towards him.
Although I don't know his true identity, I always look into other people's eyes when they are talking.
"Is there anything about my service that makes you uncomfortable?"
In response to Zhufushi Jingguang's question, Fushimi Kyoji shook his head in confusion.
"Ah, if you don't have any, that would be great." An impeccable, gentle smile spread across Morobushi Kagemitsu's face. Following his current persona, he continued, "Because you always appear so easy to talk to, I'm a little worried that even if I meet someone I don't like, they won't take the initiative to bring it up."
"Hate it? No way."
The player wrinkled his nose: "And..."
Zhu Fushimi Kagemitsu leaned over, and Fushimi Kyoki could make the other person hear what she was saying without any effort.
Staring at that unremarkable profile, the player narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled for the first time since being alone with Zhufu Jingguang: "You give me the same feeling as a friend of mine."
His level of thoughtfulness is almost as good as Vodka's concern for the players, and he is not like Gin and Bourbon, who sometimes deliberately ignore her words.
"...Is that so?" Zhu Fu Jingguang paused for a moment before speaking again.
Of course, players will not do such bad things as eating meal replacements.
As for the other party's suspicion that they are disliked, the player probably knows the reason.
"I just feel that..." After receiving Hagiwara Kenji's message, Fushimi Kyoji stood up from her seat. She thought for a moment, sorted out her words, and said, "It's not necessary."
"It's very likely that we'll never have the chance to see each other again in this lifetime, so it's better to nip any signs of a bond in the bud."
The main character, Banbanlang, has already taken away all the players' attention, leaving them with no energy to think about developing relationships with other NPCs that can be conquered.
"Love is limited, and it's only enough to be devoted to those who will never leave you."
…
Until the other party left, Zhu Fujingguang's eyes kept following her for a long distance.
That's why she trusts him, Zero and Lei so much.
We are destined not to be able to walk together. Forming ties with others will only increase loneliness.
So...that's how it is.
[*cg·A once-in-a-lifetime meeting between two people standing on parallel lines with different standpoints]
This was a completely unexpected situation, and Fushimi Kyoji stared blankly at the CG slowly playing in front of him.
When he was in the police academy, Zhu Fujingguang raised his sight and aimed at the bull's eye among his classmates.
The scope was lowered, revealing the player's face, with Gin and Vodka standing behind him with satisfied expressions on their faces.
The fingertips painted with pure black nail polish pressed [Send], and the dialog box "Mission Completed" appeared on the screen, turning into a contact with the Japanese public security informant. A well-proportioned and slender hand that was obviously a man tightly grasped the phone, revealing a subtle restraint.
Faced with the enemy begging for mercy in a desperate manner, the player raised her gun indifferently, while a look of pity flashed in the eyes of the young man standing behind her.
"Keep your eyes on them." Gin's pupils shrank with excitement and flashed from the background.
"Don't believe it." Amuro Toru's frown appeared on his face.
[: Confirmed Scotland's identity as a Japanese public security officer.]
A message filled his entire field of vision, then fell and shrank as he watched, turning into the phone in Zhu Fujingguang's hand.
The black muzzle of the gun was raised by the player.
Bang--
A clear bullet hole appeared on the screen, revealing the fatal message that exposed the identity.
The muzzles of the guns held by the players sprayed out colorful streamers used in the party, all of which landed on Zhu Fu Jingguang's head and body...
"*[Scotland] Favorability has reached 65. Automatically enter the current character's HE path. CG will not affect game progress!"
"*cg has been included in the achievement!"
"*(No matter how close we are, we can never truly touch each other...)"
"……Scotland?"
Excluding the option that Zhu Fushimi Jingguang belatedly increased the player's favorability by dozens of points, Fushimi Kyoji urgently recalled who he had come into contact with before, stood there for a long time, and suddenly turned back to the coffee shop behind him.
Standing in front of Zhu Fujingguang again, the amount of exercise just now was not enough to make her breathless. It was just that the player saw the Scottish CG pop up and subconsciously wanted to find the person to confirm.
But when he actually came in front of the young man who looked like Scotland, he didn't know what to say for a moment, so the player remained silent and calmed his breathing.
"Shhh."
Zhu Fujingguang was not curious about how the player realized his identity. Her keenness always showed up when others were unprepared.
He put his raised index finger to his lips: "Don't say it."
"Keep it a secret for me."
Just you and me.
"besides……"
He reached out his hand to the player, his movements very slowly, and would stop immediately if he showed the slightest sign of resistance.
Fushimi Kyoji watched his movements and did not move.
Zhu Fujingguang's hand fell weightlessly on the player's head. It was more like a light touch than a touch.
"……well done."
as well as……
"Thank you very much," he said.
Be thankful that you can stand by their side.
Thank him for keeping it a secret from Gin.
Thanks also to...
That brief period of time together did not allow him to be swallowed by darkness.
"Ai--!?"
After being touched on the head for a long time, she finally reacted and stepped back abruptly, blinking her eyelashes frequently as she stared at him in surprise.
Zhu Fujingguang withdrew his hand, feeling somewhat regretful for his transgression: "Sorry, do you find it offensive?"
Fushimi Kyoji did not answer him immediately. Instead, he put his hand on the top of his head, as if imitating the action that Morifushi Kagemitsu had just taken.
He rubbed it vigorously twice and praised himself: "Well done, well done—"
His blue eyes, almost overflowing with tears, watched the player's childish behavior of trying to cheer himself up, and the curve of his lips faded a little.
"*(After all...)"
