The next morning, when the sun had risen

Claire is on her way to the Tokyo hospital because he agreed with Hill yesterday to visit Mitch today.

Naturally, the agreement cannot be easily broken, and Claire also wants to take this opportunity to deepen the relationship between herself and the team, so that they can seriously implement what they say in the future.

When she arrived at the hospital, Claire carried a jar of fried prawns with garlic. The seafood aroma of stir-fried fresh shrimp and the unique taste of the garlic can make people impressed by the extremely delicious taste without dipping sauce.

This fried prawns with garlic is naturally not made by Claire, although Claire has learned to cook through her life experience as an agent, and her level is no worse than that of New Oriental chefs.

But Claire, who has been working in Western Europe and the Middle East for a long time, said that this dish is a bit magical, and if he is allowed to do it, he is afraid that it will be made into dark cuisine.

This fried prawns with garlic is actually the brainchild of Kojiro Inoue, who has always wanted to be Claire's apprentice.

He made up his mind last night that since it would not work from a simple method of apprenticeship, he had to use both spiritual and material methods.

The way to do this is to impress your predecessors with good food.

Koijiro watched the live broadcast of the game on TV, so he naturally knew that Claire's teammate Mitch was injured and sent to the hospital, so Koijiro, who wanted to be very attentive, went home, tied an apron, and personally made this fried prawns with garlic paste with color and flavor.

Before dawn today, Koijiro came to the bar very early, and before the bar opened, he panted and put the insulated lunch box with fried prawns with garlic in his hand at the door of the bar, and then sat on the steps and dozed off on his back.

Claire, who has a high emotional intelligence, naturally won't refuse Koijiro's offer, although the main reason is that he is too lazy to buy fruit and other things to visit Mickey, so Claire simply took the food made by Koijiro to the hospital to visit Mickey.

After asking the nurse more and more, Claire easily inquired about the ward of the wounded martial artist who had been sent yesterday.

After continuing her search, Claire finally found the ward where Mickey was.

While Claire is still standing outside the door and about to push the door in, he overhears a conversation between Mitch and Ciel.

"Hill, do you think I'm particularly useless, even you crushed that stupid big guy, but I was knocked off the stage without even having the strength to parry, you say, am I very useless?"

Although Hill was tempted to retort his sentence "Even you crush that stupid big guy", when he saw his friend's depressed appearance, he comforted him loudly: "Hey, don't think about it, you didn't hear the narrator say that Harvey · How strong is D's strength, I don't say this to make you depressed, I just want you to have a little fighting spirit, and then heal your injuries and follow the boss to continue to participate in the official competition. ”

Hearing his old friend so comforted, Mickey, who was lying on the hospital bed, was full of emotion, he looked at his friend and comrade-in-arms sitting next to him affectionately, and said in a somewhat choked voice: "Hill~"

Hill was infected by such an atmosphere, and he also shook Mickey's hand at this time, and said with emotion: "Mickey~"

"Ahem!" Claire, who couldn't take it anymore, coughed and walked straight into the ward.

The two big men who were interrupted to sensationalism were not dissatisfied. Hill looked at Claire with a smile and said hello, "Captain, morning." ”

Mickey, who was lying on the hospital bed, was a little afraid to face Claire's gaze, after all, he boasted about Haikou before, saying that he was fine, but in fact, the person lying on the bed now was himself.

However, after seeing that Claire did not blame him, Mickey still looked up and summoned up the courage to greet Claire with the courage that he had just been fueled by Hil.

Claire looked at them expressionlessly, then placed the insulated lunch box in her hand on the bedside table next to the bed.

After Ciel helped Mickey take the lunch box and opened it, he looked at the food inside, and then placed the lunch box next to Mickey. Originally, Claire thought that no one would like such a curious dish, however, after seeing what was in the lunch box, Mickey was pleasantly surprised: "Wow, captain, no boss, how do you know that I like to eat shrimp and put garlic mustard or something like that?" After saying that, Mickey took out a shrimp covered with garlic from the lunch box and put it in his mouth, and the enjoyment was as if he had eaten the supreme delicacy.

Claire, who has always been unfazed, pinched her nose at this moment and silently stayed away from Mickey, unlike Mickey, who was eating fried prawns with garlic with relish, he personally didn't like garlic and the like, so whenever someone ate something related to garlic, he would retreat.

After seeing that Mickey seemed to be back to normal and began to argue with Ciel, Claire got up and prepared to leave.

When Claire walked to the door, Hill called out to Claire, "Boss, you haven't taken your lunch box yet." ”

After hearing this, Claire suddenly couldn't bear it, and I brought the lunch box with my feelings, and I have to bring it back, right?

"You go on your own and get the lunch box to the bar." After dropping this sentence, Claire strode out of the hospital room and walked away without looking back. Leaving Hill and Mitch looking at each other.

Claire naturally has something to do at this time, and he now has to go to his boss to report on the progress of the work, as well as to learn about the information of the R consortium they have, as an agent, intelligence is the most important.

Walking through the residential buildings and through the old corridors, Claire knocked on the door with a sign that read Brazilian mercenaries.

A knock on the door resounded in the silent hallway. "Please come in." The voice in the ear was something Claire hadn't heard before, but you could guess that it was the voice of Clark, a taciturn man.

Claire pushed open the outer door and walked into the mercenary base.

As soon as she entered, Claire, who was very perceptive, saw the mountain of file bags on the conference table.

Colonel Seaton sat on the main seat of the conference table, and when he saw that everyone was seated, he said in a low voice: "Since everyone has arrived, then our meeting will officially begin, this time there are many contents of the meeting, please write it down carefully, I will explain the specific aspects in detail, okay, what questions do you have?" ”

Clark and Ralph had always been led by Colonel Sidon, so they naturally had no problem with Colonel Sidon. In fact, Hadilan's question was about Claire, after all, considering that Claire is new, as the leader of the Brazilian mercenaries, he naturally wants to be more democratic.

Claire thought for a moment and asked the question she had thought about directly, "Colonel, I don't have any other questions, I just want to ask about the clothes we wear at the martial arts tournament." ”

However, Colonel Sidon waved his hand when he heard Claire ask this question, and said lightly: "For the competition clothes, we Brazilian mercenaries are all brought by ourselves, and you can consult Ralph after the meeting for specific situations." ”

No matter how strong Claire's heart is, the matter related to interests at this moment still causes a barrage attack in his heart: "A little sense of responsibility, okay?" "I've never seen a group that doesn't even reimburse public funds." "××× Cow ×"

Colonel Seaton cleared his throat despite Claire's cursed eyes, and then raised his voice to begin his speech.

"According to the information from within our organization, the purpose of the R consortium to hold the martial arts tournament this time is very impure, and the boss behind it, Lucar, is the one who planned the martial arts tournament, and we still don't know what the purpose is. According to the leakage of the internal information of the Lucar Consortium and the table summarized by our personnel, the strength of the fighters is divided into different levels, and the current tentative strength is A (first-class martial artists such as Kusanagi Kyo and Yagami-an), B (fighters similar to the strength of Director Jin or Athena), and C (fighters like Cai Baoqi and Chen Guohan). ”

"Therefore, in this mission to investigate the R consortium, we must not act rashly and startle the snake. We had to understand the purpose of the R Consortium and plan the fight before we attacked. Colonel Sidon, who had spoken so categorically, suddenly rose from his chair, and there was an inexplicable emotion on his resolute face.

When Ralph saw Colonel Seaton look like this, he sighed slightly and muttered to himself, "It seems that Colonel still hasn't completely let go of his hatred." ”

Hearing this, Claire's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then relaxed.

It seems that there are a lot of stories behind my new boss~
