There is a red brick building near 2-chome Shinko, Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, which is the newly established base of Ritsu Sasashima during his year in Zurich, and it is currently the most important in Japan.

In other words, it's the organization's safe house, and it's where only codename members can come.

didn't answer Gin's call, and the other party didn't complain anything, because Gin knew in his heart that Ogier was probably playing the role of a police officer at the scene of the crime.

Taking a taxi back to the underground parking garage of the apartment, Ritsu Sasashima sat on a Kawasaki Ninja H2R who had not ridden for a while, and he did not forget to wear a motorcycle helmet as a law-abiding young man.

Japan is very small, and Tokyo to Yokohama is only about 40 minutes by car, and it only takes half an hour by JR or other means of transportation.

The motorcycle was parked directly in the parking lot on the north side of the red brick building, and when he saw those familiar cars, Ritsu Sasashima took off his helmet and was surprised, but he didn't expect there to be so many people today.

He took out his ID card from his pocket and put it in the electronic card slot, and the emotionless mechanical sound sounded, and after a series of scans, he finally had to enter the password to pass, such a careful hand is definitely a masterpiece of gin.

The entrance is very narrow, and the steel membrane concrete walls are painted with graffiti in a strange style, which is obviously not the work of a master. The lights are very dim, and it is very unfriendly to people with night blindness, but fortunately Sasashima Ritsu is not.

Pushing open the heavy soundproof door, the strong drum beat made him wonder if he was in the wrong place.

The industrial style of decoration is mysterious and cold black with hesitant gray. There is even a barbed wire fence in the basic area, and the bar counter formed by the lacquered wood surface and gray and white bricks has a retro style, and the people who designed it here have a very good taste.

In the dim light, his gaze reached to the DJ player, and when he saw the familiar hint of orange, he felt that the choice of background music was not strange.

If she doesn't rock 'n' roll, she's already very good.

Chianti, who was acting as a DJ, caught a glimpse of a new person in the safe house, and thought of the reason why Gin had summoned them here today, so he stopped what he was doing, jumped off the high platform, and looked at the head of the Japanese branch who was on an equal footing with Gin.

That's right, now there are two people in charge in Japan, and in addition to gin, the guy in front of him codenamed Ogier is the one in front of him. If memory serves, he was one of the gentleman's cronies, usually active in Europe.

Shui Wulianna, who was sitting in the booth area with a glass of red wine, also noticed Ogier walking in, she subconsciously frowned slightly, observing this young man who was dressed in white and had completely different clothing habits from the organization.

His white hair was in a four-and-six-part shape, his eyes were slightly drooping, the bridge of his nose was high, and there was a terrible cross scar under his left eye. Perhaps noticing her gaze, he slowly raised his eyes with a lazy energy, like a snow leopard waiting for its prey to be delivered to the door.

That's right, not cats ... And leopards.

With just a glance, Shui Wuren felt an invisible pressure coming towards him, and the alarm bell in his heart rang. This high-ranking member of the organization, called Ogier, may be a more terrifying figure than Gin.

"You're Augier, aren't you? I'm Chianti, please advise. ”

Ritsu Sasashima looked sideways, and the madness in his body had faded a lot, and it seemed that he had changed a lot in the past year.

Faced with the fact that the person he met for the first time could actually use honorifics, he almost wondered if this Chianti was an impostor.

"Well, there will be a chance to cooperate in the future."

Ritsu Sasashima walked towards the bar, sipping the wine in his glass with his back to Gin, noticing someone sitting beside him, and he said slowly, "You're here." ”

"Hmm."

The only person who could be willing to sit next to him was Ogil besides vodka, so he didn't have to look at it, he knew it.

Sitting opposite Shui Wu Na, Tsugu looked at all this with a non-moving expression, it seems that the relationship between Ogier and Gin is not bad, and it can even be called familiar.

"Take what you want to drink."

"I don't have a Vodka to drive me in, so I'm going to ride a motorcycle, so I'll just drink alcohol."

"Oh, I can lend him to you."

Vodka sitting on the side said embarrassed, big brother, don't describe me as a driver, I'm still very capable, okay?

Ritsu Sasashima's expression became strange, and he raised an eyebrow to look at Gin meaningfully, and then said words that silenced the two people beside him.

"You don't have any special fetishes, do you? Motorcycle driving... It's scary just to imagine. ”

The burly vodka sat in the front seat, the silver-haired gin sat in the back seat, and the people in the back seat could only wrap their arms around the waist of the front seat to ensure their own safety.

Sashima Ritsu couldn't help but shudder when he made up for this, and his hand in pouring lemonade for himself trembled, and it wasn't a good thing to have too much imagination.

“……”

Gin was silent for a moment, then laughed, "You've changed a lot, Augier." ”

"Maybe that's what I am?" Ritsu Sasashima shrugged his shoulders, anyway, the others couldn't hear the conversation, otherwise he still had to maintain the mystery of Ogier, and now it was more like Onizawa in front of Gin.

"Heh, that's only you know."

"yes."

There was the sound of footsteps behind him, and the frequency of the footsteps made it easy to discern who was and who knew him too well. Ritsu Sasashima added a few pieces of crushed ice to the lemonade, and a familiar voice sounded behind him.

"Mr. Augier, meet again, I wonder if you remember me?"

Wearing a bourbon mask, Zero has a completely different temperament from his usual temperament, holding a Hemingway Deqili cocktail in his hand. No wonder the RX-7 was not seen, it turned out that he was going to drink here.

Zero still hasn't changed his habits, the salary earned by the public security can be described as a careful budget, and I still remember that when I asked him earlier, he answered like this.

- "That's the people who have worked hard to pay taxes, so naturally they have to save money!" ”

On the side of the organization, it's a different face entirely. It can be said that he is the first person to eat and drink, speaking of this, a man wearing a black velvet hat and long black hair comes to mind...

Tsk, the mood instantly became unhappy.

"Naturally, I remember you, Bourbon."

"That's a real pleasure for me." Zero's gaze fell on the glass of lemonade on the rocks, and he pretended to be surprised, "Doesn't Mr. Augier drink?" ”

"Personally, I prefer to obey traffic rules and regulations, drink alcohol and not drive, and drive without drinking."

A good law-abiding, Falling Valley Zero smiled coldly in his heart, but still maintained the face of a good gentleman, and smiled: "You are right, then I will toast you, and I hope that we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future." ”

"There's going to be a chance."

Gin silently drank the glass of Bloody Mary in front of him, and he didn't know what he remembered, he was suddenly in a good mood to hook the corners of his mouth and show a rare happy smile.

The little eyes under the vodka sunglasses narrowed suspiciously, big brother, this is thinking of something fun?

"Then I'll be out of company first, and there is still one intelligence work to be done."

"Okay, see you later."

Without seeing Tsuruya Zero leave, Ritsu Sasashima stared at the half-drunk ice lemonade in front of him and asked, "What are you laughing at... Gin。 ”

"Just thinking that you've been together for a while."

It's a strange joke, but it's funny when you think about it.

They had been together for a while, but now they are strangers, and even their identities are very different.

Ritsu Sasashima picked up the crushed ice pick and chiseled the frozen ice cubes in the bucket for a while, and he couldn't help but laugh when he thought about the days he had lived as Macallan in the Order.

Gin, if you know that I have another past with him that you hate the most, can you still laugh?

However, that's all in the past.

He couldn't laugh anyway.
