Chapter 6: The Winery: Everyone in your organization is so belligerent...
The long-haired man, with a neither humble nor arrogant, even a little cold attitude, showed that he had no intention of making friends with anyone. Whether in conversation or actions, he was full of businesslike efficiency.
He uttered a few words that could barely be considered a self-introduction, and nothing else followed.
FBI investigator Shuichi Akai, who infiltrates the Black Organization under the alias Dai Moroboshi, is not as calm as he appears to be.
Shuichi Akai had anticipated that he, who had successfully infiltrated the organization as a newcomer, would be able to get close to the organization's core code member, Gin, with the cooperation of his subordinates.
That's the plan.
As expected, a distress call was received from a codenamed member in the organization's internal network. It happened that 'Dai Moroboshi' who was active nearby would show his personal ability at the right time to attract the other party and enter Gin's field of vision.
As long as he gets Gin's attention, he will probably be recommended to become a code member soon and have access to higher-level secrets.
The information he had definitely did not include the information of the members that Gin brought with him on this mission. Akai Shuichi only knew from information he got from various sources that Gin often worked in partnership with another code-named member, a man named Vodka.
So when he saw the players curiously looking at his movements, the first reaction that came to Shuichi Akai's mind was surprise.
I didn't feel the temperament that the members of the organization had at all.
For a moment, he thought he had mistakenly entered a private car, and the young owner in the car was just looking at the intruder's rude behavior with a slightly surprised look.
Shuichi Akai wasn't sure if the other party noticed the slightly strange look he unconsciously revealed, and he almost instinctively restrained all his outward emotions.
His eyes passed unnoticed over the waist where the fabric bulged slightly, probably because of a pistol, and he felt relieved.
This means that there were no flaws in the plan, and he even happened to meet other members of the organization who were connected to Gin.
Akai Shuichi paused slightly, maintaining a tone of keeping strangers away, and told the other party his pseudonym in a natural manner.
After the player finished introducing himself, he secretly memorized the name 'Fushimi Kyoji' and searched his memory for the names of the organization members he knew to compare them.
No impression at all.
The possibility that it is a pseudonym cannot be ruled out.
Drawing the above conclusions from memory and quickly making several judgments, less than a second passed in reality, long enough for Akai Shuichi to hear the sentence that often appears after ordinary people introduce themselves:
“…Please take care of me!”
The current development is completely different from any of the reactions that Shuichi Akai had imagined when meeting a codenamed member of the organization for the first time.
Refers to the friendly aspect.
Shuichi Akai's inner vigilance increased instead of decreasing. He maintained his taciturn and cold personality and raised his eyes calmly.
There was no need for excessive intuition, after all, the scrutinizing gaze that fell on him showed no intention of concealing anything.
His eyes, bathed in green, lifted slightly, accurately catching the gaze of the player who was watching his movements, and met their gaze.
Shuichi Akai didn't show any particular reaction to the somewhat offensive act of staring at him. He just glanced out the window and followed his gaze - several approaching figures were vaguely reflected in the rearview mirror.
"They're catching up." Even though he vaguely saw familiar faces among the approaching people in the rearview mirror, the mastermind who was setting everything in motion lowered his voice, his expression slightly solemn, and said calmly, "Let me deal with the people behind?"
He deliberately exposed his whereabouts to the subordinates behind him, and used the urgent situation that did not allow for much thought to cover up as much as possible the doubts about his coincidental appearance nearby.
To prevent the prolonged pause from making people notice the suspicious logic, Akai Shuichi placed the backpack on his shoulder at his feet. The heavy objects inside made a special sound of metal colliding through the fabric.
He unzipped his pants without hesitation and took out the light machine gun that had been split into several parts. He held the gun body, squeezed it back and forth, and with a "click", the light machine gun in his hand was assembled and he was ready to rush in and fire a burst of bullets at anyone at any time.
The muzzle of the gun pointed suggestively toward the window.
This is what it means to let the player drive.
"...First, shake off the pursuers and drive directly into the enemy's encirclement. I'll suppress them with firepower and provide support by opening a breakthrough from the side."
It is not difficult for Shuichi Akai to use words to induce others to make choices that are beneficial to them, especially in such an urgent situation as the current one, his suggestions will basically not be rejected.
“…”
His temporary teammate listened to his plan quietly and did not respond for a long time. Akai Shuichi finally realized the silence of the other person in the car.
——As a result, I saw the players sitting quietly in the back row.
Fushimi Kyoji didn't move.
It's not that I'm dissatisfied with Akai Shuichi's suggestion, I'm just following the plot, but...
Player: Watch...
“I don’t have a driver’s license.”
Otherwise, the player wouldn't just sit here when Gin and the others were ambushed.
“…”
Akai Shuichi, Akai Shuichi... Silence for two seconds, then he exhaled.
Normally, given the high level of intelligence in the free interactions that the characters currently experience, players wouldn't be surprised even if they got a response like, "We are members of a criminal organization and don't need to abide by the law."
Akai Shuichi said nothing.
Perhaps because the situation was urgent and the disguised FBI officer behind him came too quickly, leaving him no room to turn around, Shuichi Akai quickly changed positions, took a step with his long legs, and straddled the driver's seat.
"Uh-huh..."
As soon as the car started, it was driven at a furious speed. The unexpected push on the back almost made the player's face hit the front seat.
The bullets fired from behind easily shattered the car windows, sending glass fragments flying everywhere. Some of the bullets were obviously not accurate, and a strong bump could be felt inside the car.
【NEW! 】
The task icon appeared in front of me at this time.
"*【Limited Time Mission】: Escape the FBI officers chasing you! Mission Reward:..."
「*Do you want to accept the mission?」
"[whether"
I took it up quickly, and a countdown number appeared after the ongoing task in the taskbar.
If you get rid of the enemy...
The player's eyes naturally fell on the assembled light machine gun on the co-pilot seat.
Shuichi Akai's hands on the steering wheel unconsciously tightened a little, his cold eyes moved slightly, and he sensed the player's intention from her actions.
"Light machine guns struggle to deliver their full potential in confined spaces. Pistols are more versatile at this distance," he suggested in a voice devoid of emotion. His jaw clenched, as if aware of the harshness of his tone, he paused. "Also, for women, medium-sized firearms aren't as portable as pistols."
...Its lethality is also much weaker, Akai Shuichi added silently.
If Dai Moroboshi had not joined the organization, he might have appeared in politics.
He is very good at persuading others.
Players think.
In reality, probably no one can open their eyes against the airflow while the car is driving at high speed without wearing goggles.
The four car windows were recently shot at by the FBI who were not about to give up easily, making it easier for the player to stick half of his upper body out of the car window.
The rear windshield also exploded in the gunfire, and the whistling sound of the wind rang wildly in my ears.
It is in this situation that the player raises his gun.
The strong wind and the shock disappeared at the same time, and several crosshairs that contracted and expanded at the same frequency appeared in the field of vision.
It's different from the daily tasks of getting a perfect score at the right time.
If the object indicated by the crosshairs is not hit within the time limit, the moving vehicle will directly pass the target that needs to be aimed at.
After missing a few opportunities, the player suddenly figures out how to play.
The gun was aimed at the ice cream truck on the roadside, the flower pots on the balcony of the residential building, and the swaying branches...
With a sharp, piercing sound, one of the ice cream truck's tires exploded due to external force, and the entire vehicle slid uncontrollably. Its heavy and obstructive body blocked the road, and several cars nearby had to slam on the brakes in fear to avoid a direct collision.
The flowerpots on the edge of the balcony exploded with a bang, and wet soil and plants fell onto the windshield of one of the cars that was bypassing the ice cream truck. The originally straight forward route became distorted in the panic and almost hit the fire hydrant.
The fallen branches were caught in the high-speed rotating wheels, and soon thick black smoke began to float out, forcing the car to stop suddenly.
It will take a while to catch up.
The moment she put away the gun and turned back into the car, Fushimi Kyoji's eyes happened to meet the gaze in the rearview mirror staring at her.
How long did he look at it?
He should just be concerned about the situation and glance over occasionally.
After all, the players behind him were looking at him here and there, and the other party was driving seriously and didn't even look outside.
"*【Muroboshi Dai】Favorability +2!"
"*【Muroboshi Dai】Current Favorability: 2"
"...At a distance where a shot would almost guarantee their death, yet they chose to stop them this way..."
He didn't say a word to the players, but his current thoughts were the opposite, superimposed radically like a wave.
Sure enough, I got the direction of the strategy right.
The same method of gaining Gin's favor can also be applied to Dai Moroboshi.
He was shocked by the player's micro-manipulation!

[Tips]: After entering the HE line with this character, the change in the character's favorability will no longer be displayed~]
