Malbek naturally agreed with Jiang Lai drinking orange juice. After all, Xiao Mianyang Bingjiu really looked like a minor. Although he successfully entered the bar, if there were patrol officers who saw him drinking, they might come up to check and question him.
He believed that Toru Amuro also had the same idea in his heart.
To avoid these troubles, it's best to let him drink age-appropriate juice all year round.
Jiang Lai: ...The term 'all-ages' isn't used like this!
"The dance floor hasn't started yet, it's still being set up, but it will start soon." Amuro Toru crossed his arms and said, "When the late night carnival starts, we will also start to move."
"Yes, no problem." Malbec nodded, with a gentle smile on his face, "Just call me Sakuma Kigen, Amuro-san, Watanabe-san when you are outside."
"Okay, Sakuma-san."
Amuro Toru nodded, then turned his head and said, "Then, Watanabe, you will be in charge of monitoring the cleanup and remote search, and make adjustments based on the situation and instructions - just sit here and work."
"Eh?" Jiang Lai blinked, looking stunned, "I'm not going to the dance floor?"
Can't I join in the fun later?!
"Yes." Amuro Toru smiled, "After all, you are still too conspicuous. If you are underage, it is better to stay in the fringe areas, where adults have a great time at night."
He used the question of whether it was conspicuous or not to explain why Bingjiu was not allowed to go to the dance floor in person. This was the thinking and attitude that an organization member should have, and it would not arouse suspicion.
"I agree." Malbec swirled his mojito and agreed. "It's not a good thing to attract too much attention during a mission."
"I'm an adult now!" Little sheep Jiang Lai widened his black eyes and said seriously, "Besides, it's easier to blend in in the chaos of the dance floor!"
"Ah... that's not necessarily true." Amuro Toru's lips curled up, and his purple-gray eyes glanced over, "Harmless underage faces are easily watched, so it's better not to join." The words were spoken with a smile, but also wrapped with a bit of irresistible meaning.
Malbek also looked over and said, "At least you look like a minor, and you are staying here with so few people." He muttered in a low voice, "What a trouble. So why did the organization send a minor for this mission?"
"Maybe it's because Watanabe-san's skills are so outstanding." Amuro Toru added with a smile, "I've heard about it."
Since both of them said so, Jiang Lai naturally couldn't say anything to refute them, so he took a big gulp of orange juice, puffed up his cheeks and said, "Okay... I won't go if I don't want to. I was thinking of using the public funds to have a good time." He said in a way that fits the character of Little Sheep, "How much is orange juice worth... Damn it, drinking is more cost-effective."
The dance floor not far away was finally set up. The originally warm-toned lights changed style, and colorful dazzling lights came on, accompanied by the switching to passionate music mixed with drums and saxophone sounds, everything became restless and active.
"It's time to act." Toru Amuro pushed the Long Island Iced Tea aside. He didn't actually drink much of this relatively strong cocktail. He just drank it to look like he was drinking and to have a little taste of alcohol on his body.
Whether as a member of an organization or a public security undercover, it is of course very important to keep a clear head. The corners of Toru Amuro's mouth raised in a proper arc, matched with the wavy light and shadow and the golden hair, making the smile appear more profound, and the purple-gray eyes were focused and charming, slowly weaving the first layer of the honey trap.
Malbec also stood up and took a few sips of the relatively low-alcohol mojito, which he placed on the table. He straightened his clothes to make the brown windbreaker fit his body better, and a gentle look appeared on his face.
The little sheep Jiang Lai was still sitting on the stool, looking up at the two of them, with the fluffy braid on the back of his head sliding down and swaying with the movements. The scene now looked more like two older brothers taking the neighbor's minors out.
"Watanabe-san, please check your phone messages at all times." Amuro Toru reminded him before he left. He turned around and said with a smile, "Don't touch the two cocktails on the table. You can get a refill at the front desk when you finish your orange juice."
"...You guys have already drunk, so of course I won't touch it!" Jiang Lai, the little sheep, held the glass in both hands and muttered in a low voice, "I'm an adult now! Oh, orange juice is not worth the money, and I have to walk over to get a refill, which is so troublesome."
He lowered his head and muttered the lines that the little sheep should have, and noticed from the corner of his eye that Amuro Toru and Malbec disappeared into the crowd on the dance floor. Then he took another sip of orange juice, took out his phone, edited the monitoring automatic cleanup, and checked the mailbox.
There are no new messages in the mailbox for the time being, so Jiang Lai sets the message reminder to vibrate mode.
I never thought that Amuro Toru would put on the male mother filter for Little Lamb Ice Wine so quickly! Jiang Lai twitched his lips in his heart. This attitude is completely different from his own (wiping tears).
Sure enough, the idea I agreed with Jingguang to temporarily hide my true identity and just say that I am one of them was a good idea!!
Jiang Lai affirmed.
This time, the filter bonus and secret care that Toru Amuro cast on himself, in addition to the harmless and soft underage appearance of the little lamb, also came largely from his trust in Hiro - he believed what the other party said, that the person he was going to take care of was a younger generation worthy of care.
Jiang Lai sat with his back against the wall, making sure there was no one behind him. He sent a message to Zhu Fu Jingguang, using a code to confirm that it was him and that the situation was safe before starting to communicate.
[#江萊#: I met him and exchanged secret codes with him. The connection was successful! (Otter smiles and gives a thumbs up.jpg)]
Although this "he" was not pointed out, both of them knew that it was referring to Rei Furutani.
【#諸伏景光#: Really? That's a good thing. Be careful. 】
[#江萊#: I am in a bar right now, I am a remote assistant. He seems to think I am underage, not only does he not let me drink cocktails, he also does not let me go to the dance floor to have sex. The atmosphere of the bar is gone. ]
【#諸伏景光#: It is important to keep a clear mind when you are outside. If you want to drink, go home and mix a cocktail. 】
Jiang Lai was waiting for this sentence. He typed and replied with a smile: [Wuhu! Great, let's wait for Xiao Zhao not to be home and mix cocktails! (Otherwise, it always feels not good to drink in front of children. Children are too curious and might secretly take a drink)]
[#Morobushi Kagemitsu#: ...It doesn't matter, Kurosawa is a very sensible kid. Of course, it's better to be more careful. ]
[#江萊#: I wonder if I can find out information about Miyano Akemi and Rum after meeting Curacao later. ]
【#諸伏景光#: Act with caution and don't force it. 】
【#江萊#: Yeah, I understand. 】
Jiang Lai knew that prudence was of course the first priority, and on this basis, he tried his best to explore deeper and deeper secrets.
I don't know where Curacao is right now. But since the mission has already started, it means she is already in this bar.
The mission assigned to them by the organization is to assist Curacao in obtaining important objects. In this case, Curacao is probably close to the target person and has already taken action.
While Jiang Lai was thinking, he subconsciously picked up the orange juice in front of him and moistened his throat.
The orange juice was finished after the last sip. Jiang Lai pursed his lips and looked down at the empty glass. It seemed inappropriate to place the empty glass in front of him like this. It would be a bit troublesome if a waiter came over to ask for a refill while he was working.
In fact, he could also move Amuro Toru and Malbec's glasses in front of him and use them as a substitute. However, Jiang Lai also wanted to continue drinking, so he stood up decisively and decided to take advantage of the free time when the mission just started and there was no work to do to fill the orange juice bottle.
Jiang Lai thought so, put his phone in his pocket, picked up the empty glass and walked to the front desk.
The bartender's place was still filled with warm light, and the colorful lights not far away occasionally swept across the place. The bartender, wearing a straight uniform, moved smoothly and elegantly, presenting cups of gorgeous cocktails before our eyes.
Jiang Lai put the glass on the table: "A glass of orange juice, thank you."
The soft voice made the bartender raise his head subconsciously. He glanced at the little sheep Jiang Lai with a surprised expression, as if he didn't expect that there would be a minor here. However, his professionalism made him not ask any more questions, but just nodded politely: "Okay, sir, please wait a moment."
——Since the other party didn’t order wine or orange juice, there’s no need to ask any more questions.
The bartender poured the orange juice three-quarters full and pushed the glass forward. Jiang Lai reached out to take it, but another hand reached out from the side.
"Um?"
Both of them paused. Jiang Lai looked up and saw a black-haired man in his forties with a neatly trimmed beard. He was wearing a white shirt and a khaki suit jacket, and his face showed signs of aging.
"Oh, sorry, I thought this was my classic cocktail." The other party withdrew his hand, and he smiled, the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes squeezed together, "However, it's better for minors not to come to such occasions."
"I'm an adult now, I just look smaller." Little Sheep Jiang Lai tilted his head, his eyes passed the man and saw the bodyguards standing behind him. One of the women had a silver ponytail and her heterochromatic eyes were very eye-catching.
——It’s Curacao!
Is this person the target of the mission?
"Are you an adult?" The man touched his chin. "Ah, I was planning to tell the person in charge and ask him to take the minor out."
The man smiled, his cloudy blue eyes fixed on the little sheep, and said, "Since we are all in the bar, adults should not drink orange juice. How about a glass of the signature St. John cocktail here? I'll treat you and I can teach you."
The price of St. John cocktail is relatively high in the cocktail ranking list.
Jiang Lai raised his eyebrows in his heart but did not answer. He just blinked his dark and innocent eyes like a fresh-faced student.
"I'm Fukuyama Junshima. Hello." The man nodded and said with a wrinkled smile on his face. His eyes swept across the childish face of the little sheep, like a amiable elder.
"Ah... I hope my enthusiasm doesn't bother you. It's just that seeing you reminds me of my nephew whom I haven't seen for a long time abroad." Fukuyama Junshima's face revealed a look of reminiscence and his smile was a little apologetic and kind.
Jiang Lai would not easily believe what the other party said. In fact, he was very sensitive and could sense something uncomfortable in the other party's eyes, like something sticky.
Jiang Lai: I always feel like this guy is a pervert... Also, the way of chatting someone up by looking like a relative, old friend, or ex-lover is too old-fashioned! :-D
When Jiang Lai heard the surname Fukuyama, his first reaction was that he had read in a comic that the target person in the amusement park wanted to join another force, and the leader of the force was named Fukuyama.
If this is really the guy, combined with the fact that Curacao is pretending to be a bodyguard behind him, then we can be sure that this guy is the target of the mission.
The author has something to say: Jiang Lai (lying down): If you can’t drink, you can’t go to the dance floor. Am I here just to drink juice?
Jiang Lai (pondering): Does both the original body and the vest have the property of attracting perverts... How can this be? What kind of strange aura is this!
At this time, Amuro Toru, who was on the dance floor (looking back casually at the empty seat in the northeast corner): ...? Where's the Ice Wine guy?
