“...... Get out. Some hoarse voices came out of the mouth of the man on the chaise longue, and after entering the hotel suite, he didn't want to hide his tiredness, and he didn't hide the hoarseness in his voice at all.

"Sent by Assistant Katori." Ley followed the words and left quickly after placing the things he had brought on the table.

The two of them occupied two spaces in the suite without interfering with each other, and when they had cleaned up all the traces left by the previous task on their bodies, Ley was ready to sleep on the large sofa in the suite, but at this time, the person who had always stayed in the bedroom opened the door and walked out.

Columbeth unceremoniously took his place in the middle of the couch, and then opened the box that had been placed on his lap with his movements, his expression so serious that it contained some classified information.

Ley glanced over, and inside was the game console that Assistant Katori had bought himself in order to divert attention.

The type to play with a controller after connecting to the TV, the man holding the box frowned at the contents for a long time, and then pulled out a small instruction manual from the corner.

It is estimated that the other party is almost dawn after watching that thing, and he has long found that he is extremely all entertainment electronic devices, including televisions, and the FBI agent who does not lack these common sense and experience simply helped people install all the connecting cables, and then handed over the handle.

Columbeth reached out and took it, and after a brief thank-you, his expression still looked a little confused.

Rye had never seen the other party look like this, although his face was not obvious, but those slightly widened eyes with different colors clearly written these words, and it looked like his brain was about to be burned out by the game mechanics.

His brow was locked on the screen because of the overly colorful images, and his hand holding the controller was a little stiff, as if he was ready to shoot compared to the relaxed posture of the others while playing.

After following the previous guidance for a while, Columbeth's eyes suddenly widened, "Hmm......"

The villain on the screen just fell into the river next to him, and the bad operation made the character swim deeper into the water, so the already miserable villain struggled and sank in the water.

Rye simply leaned down from the back of the couch, grabbed the other person's left hand with the same hand, and slid up and down with his fingers, "Press this first." This is to go, hold this one while pressing the red button with your right hand. ”

Columbai twisted his brows and followed his guidance to operate little by little, and finally let the villain on the game interface learn to stand and walk, and the game really began to become interesting after getting familiar with these operations.

The person behind the sofa looked silently into each other's eyes from this angle.

Because of the angle, he could only see the green one on the side, perhaps because it was brightened by the game screen, and the gloomy color under his eyes was indeed much lighter.

This can be regarded as a kind of 'misguided son'. The FBI agent thought about the values he had been exposed to before entering the organization, and felt that his behavior was roughly suspicious of leading others to addiction to games.

But now, for people in an organization like theirs, whether it's smoking, drinking, games, or whatever, it's a good thing to forget about other things for a while.

Thinking about it, the position of the speaker, which originally only had various sound effects and BGM, suddenly exploded with a sound, like the sound of a gunshot, Columbai's body immediately tensed, and after finding that it was just a firework set off when he cleared the customs, he frowned and slowly relaxed, and pressed the next level again.

There were still a few scraps of the fireworks salute on the screen before the next level began, and the man behind the sofa remembered the stick figure fireworks that had flashed by, and the cool temperature in the air-conditioned room suddenly became hot and humid.

...... With the smell of lush vegetation in summer.

The antiquely decorated hotel suites were replaced by the hustle and bustle of the temple fair, and in the midst of the lively crowds, gunshots similar to fireworks did not attract anyone's attention.

In the distance, the politician who was preparing to appear in the final part of the summer festival collapsed silently in the private lounge, a small pool of blood gradually accumulating from under his head.

Bourbon, who had entered the high-end Japanese-style hotel in the mountains, quickly drew the curtains from his room, and before the curtains were completely closed, he looked up at the reflection of the mountains and forests in the distance.

As far as his eyes could see,

The man with long black hair stood up from the perfect sniper spot, put away his sniper rifle, quickly disassembled it into what looked like a guitar on the outside, and quickly left the spot.

When we came to the bottom of the mountain, the car belonging to Columbeth had been parked on the side of the road for a long time.

The young master was sitting in the back seat of the car, and when he came, the other party was leaning on the side of the car window and playing with the summer folding fan in his hand boredly, and he seemed to be sleepy.

The vehicle is located at the foot of the hill across the road from the temple fair, but few people come, and in the distance is the bustling and crowded temple fair, here are the vehicles parked under the street lamp, as if separated by a barrier.

"Leaving now?" I don't know what to think, Ley subconsciously asked.

"Or else? Waiting here for the police to come to the door when they notice that someone is dead? Columbai glanced at the member who was still carrying a dangerous object on his shoulder, and looked like he thought the other party was asking nonsense.

"That's not what I mean." The man, who had long been accustomed to this way of speaking, paused and put his hand on the car window, "Go to my safe house?" ”

The driver in the driver's seat does not squint, and looks like he never interferes with the private life of his boss, but only acts as an emotionless driving tool.

Columbeth nodded.

The man outside the window narrowed his eyes, and soon saw the two handbags next to him, one of which was clearly filled with books, and it seemed that he was going to occupy his room and nest in a small place to read.

Another thought popped into his head, Ley pulled open the trunk, threw the sniper rifle on his back in the car, then knocked on the door of the back seat, and reached out directly the moment the other party opened the car door and pulled the person out of the car.

"It's a rare opportunity." After that, ignoring the other party's frowning brows, he clenched the wrist bone in his hand and led the person directly to the crowded crowd not far away, "Since they are all here, let's go up and have a look." ”

This set of rhetoric is a good implementation of the concept of "come and come" next door, Columbai frowned, resisted and struggled back twice, the driver didn't know whether it was fun or really didn't want to go, opened the window and stopped talking for a long time, and pressed the window again.

The hand held on his wrist had an undoubted strength, he subconsciously rejected the strange and lively place, and followed the other party to walk forward for more than ten meters to see all kinds of vendors at the temple fair, colorful decorations and lights, looking too lively and dazzling.

Dragged into the crowd, the clothes that had been blown cold by the air conditioner in the car were quickly steamed.

"If you're idle...... it's okay" Columbai's face was not good, and before he finished his sentence, his eyes suddenly bumped into a red ball.

Patronizing the crowd of cheerful people, he didn't even notice when the man next to him had bought a bunch of apple candy from the nearest stall, and the sugar dyed red with pigment was dazzlingly red, and he took it with a strange look on his face, and did not speak again.

There is a saying in Japan that it is rude to eat while walking, coupled with the subconscious vigilance of something he has not eaten, he looked at the things in his hand for a long time and did not take a bite.

"Normally, no one cares about these etiquettes at times like these." Ley tilted his head and motioned for him to look at the crowd around him who were almost all eating and visiting the temple fair, "If you're worried about what's wrong with the food, I shouldn't have the time and reason to buy off the stall owner in advance and poison my own owner." ”

Columbai raised his eyebrows because the other party generously said the word 'gold master', and then he took a bite.

It's just some cheap and inferior sugar flavor, ripe apples wrapped in sugar, if you really want to say how delicious, just this thick sweet taste can make a frown.

But it's a novelty enough.

Ley looked at the other party and first looked at the red apple candy in his hand with a particularly disgusted look, and then leaned over and took a tentative bite, one side of the tiger tooth left a distinct scratch on it, and the little sugar scraped off the tooth melted in his mouth, and the disgusted expression on his face became a little heavier.

Continuing to look at the already notched candy apple candy noodles with a critical gaze for a while, he leaned over and took a small bite, his expression was disgusted again by the pure sweetbelt, and he stared at the thing in his hand with a strange expression for a while, and then took another bite.

Ryan chuckled.

He felt that this string of apple candy had probably never imagined that he would meet such a difficult guest in his life.

Seeing that the other party's attention was all on

On the snack in front of him, which did not meet the usual dining standards, the original struggle was much less, and Ley simply relaxed the strength of his wrist and led the person to the most prosperous main street.

The lights, tourists, and shops were crowded together, and Ley put the change in the box in front of the goods, and took the taiyaki wrapped in oiled paper from the sweaty boss

He had to let go of the hand that was holding his wrist.

Really worried that Columbai would be squeezed away by the crowd after letting go, the older man paused slightly, and did not let the other party take it, but directly reached out and sent the hot front end of the sea bream to the other party's mouth.

Columbai's expression was a little more strange when he saw him, and for a moment he looked at the rough-made snack in front of him, he leaned over and sniffed carefully, but still opened his mouth to take a bite.

Inside was a sweet red bean paste, a simple and rude combination of the tasteless shell and red bean paste, he chewed with disgust, and continued to repeat the above steps for apple candy.

He was still not used to eating while walking, and every time he ate a snack fed by the man next to him with a bamboo stick or the candy apple in his hand, he would stop and wait for a bite before continuing to walk.

After discovering this, Ley finally let go of the hand that had been holding the other man's wrist, and by his habit of stopping when he ate, the man bought more snacks that required two hands to operate, and stopped next to the shop to feed the freshly baked food.

You don't have to guess to know that this young master, who is used to delicate set meals, will not have much food, he simply observes the other party's expression, and only feeds one bite if he is too disgusted, stuffs two more mouthfuls if he is not so disgusted, and solves the rest by himself.

The only thing that Columbeth has been holding is the original string of apple candy, which has a big gap on it, and has obviously been repeating the process of taking a bite, disgusting it, and eating it again.

In just a short period of time, he has successfully made octopus balls, grilled octopus, marshmallows, fried noodles and a bunch of miscellaneous snacks all enter the stomach of this young master who is accustomed to high-end cuisine.

Stopping in front of a shop selling mint drinks in the middle, Ley asked the owner to buy a sealed light blue drink, and when he turned his head, he saw Columbeth standing in front of the shop waiting for him.

The young man tilted his head slightly, looking at the hanging lanterns that overlapped above, he had no expression, and even the usual understanding smile on his face faded, and his eyes were illuminated by warm yellow colored lights, and the brighter lights at both ends shone brightly, casting a faint light and shadow on his face.

He somehow has a temperament that does not belong here, even in the crowded crowd it seems to be separated by something, next to the bridge with only two people, Ley only feels a too silent silence from the other party, and now in the crowd, he catches the shadow of loneliness in Columbeth.

The footsteps that had been walking in the past stopped.

Columbai withdrew his gaze from the glittering lantern, whether it was the different pupils, the beautiful face or the body shape and temperament were enough to attract attention, under the sight of the surroundings, he frowned, as if he was not very comfortable.

Before he could turn his head to see why the guy who walked into the shop next to him hadn't come out, he felt a flower in front of him.

His body subconsciously dodged behind him because of vigilance, and he squinted his eyes and turned around, seeing the person who suddenly appeared behind him.

Rye stood behind him, holding a drink that looked like a pigmented drink in one hand, and a half-sided fox mask in the other, with no other ornamentation on it, except for a red string tied to his right ear, and two bells underneath that did not have copper beads in them.

"What is this?" Looking at that thing, Columbai, who was originally facing the slightly angular position on it in his hand, and then the hard-to-eat apple candy bitter hand was quickly attracted to attention.

Ley shook the mask off his hand slightly.

In fact, he couldn't explain the origin of the masks sold at the temple fair, for a mixed-race person who grew up in a foreign country, the traditional activity of summer festivals obviously did not occupy a place in life.

Columbai didn't seem to be ready to get an answer, thinking that this mask could at least cover his face, he tilted his head slightly, and motioned for the other party to put it on himself in a young master's manner.

pinched the slender straps on both sides, and used the mask to block the handsome eyebrows and eyes of the person in front of him,

Before putting the mask on, Rye noticed a very small tear mole under the other person's eyes, which was usually blocked by broken hair.

The speed of his hand did not change, and he quickly tied the strap behind his head in a not-so-tight knot, and fastened the mask knot firmly to the other man's face.

After putting on the mask, Ley glanced at the time next to him, and suddenly realized that it was less than ten minutes before the fireworks started, and the area where the fireworks were set off was large enough to be seen anywhere, but there was always something missing when standing on the crowded street.

So he grabbed the other man's wrist again, squeezed through the crowd and strode towards the other side of the mountain.

The time was not as urgent as the last time they were in a hurry to see the sunset, they left the crowd and hurried to the other side of the mountain where people were less visible, and as soon as they sat down on the stone steps above the grass and trees, the sound of fireworks was heard from all directions.

Under the firelight of the fireworks, Columbai's eyes slightly hidden under the mask were as bright as when he watched the sunset that day, like two glass beads that had finally been wiped clean.

The expression on his face that had always been held was also much more relaxed by the effect of the mask, and compared to the smile that did not reach the corners of his eyes for the usual reasons of upbringing or other reasons, this time he even bent his eyes when he bent the corners of his mouth.

Ley's heart fluttered. He reached out and hooked the mask on the bridge of the other's nose to remove it, but before the action could be carried out, it was interrupted by a rapid phone ringing.

After looking down and seeing the number marked with the word [Furukawa], the smile on the young man's face quickly retreated, he picked up the phone and put it to his ear, and soon the gentle and unquestionable voice of Furukawa's butler came from there.

"Young master, please go back to the villa tonight for the night." The man over there paused slightly, "Sir wants to have dinner with you tonight." ”

"Well, I'll go back now." Lowering his eyes, the light of the fireworks that was originally cast directly on his eyes was blocked by the eyelashes that bent down with the movement, and it dimmed again.

Rejecting Ley's offer to send him back, he stood up, took off the mask on his face that had not yet been coated with the warmth of his skin, and disposed of all the candy apples in his hand, and quickly disappeared into the forest illuminated by the still blooming fireworks.

Along with the bells that tinkle on the ankles all the time, they gradually disappeared.

Separated from the task, Ley returned to the downstairs of his safe house, and saw a black car in the distance, as if waiting for him to return.

He frowned, didn't rush forward, didn't walk away directly, just looked at the car across the road. After a while, the window, which looked completely black from the outside, was lowered slightly, and the man in the back seat did not show his face, and the voice of the voice came from inside.

"Ley?"

The voice, which was not old, sounded like he was in his thirties, and it seemed that the man was smoking a cigarette while waiting for him to return, so his voice was also stained with the hoarseness of tobacco.

I can easily find the location of my safe house, and I show up quietly, along with the car.

Speculation about the identity of the other party flashed through his mind, and he looked at the window of the car again, which was extremely hidden.

... I didn't expect to be so young.

"Yes." Ley narrowed his eyes, didn't walk in, didn't retreat, just stood in place and nodded without any expression and not rude, and responded to this identity, "...... BOSS。 ”

"You're smart." The sound of laughter came from inside the car, but the person who made the laughter didn't sound very happy, "I'm going to go back to dinner with him in a while, so I'll stop by to see you." ”

Hearing this, Ley's expression was subtle for a few seconds.

Although it's not quite right and out of place, he does have the feeling of secretly taking his dating partner out to play at the moment, and he was caught by his father-in-law who couldn't get used to him.

Especially in the case of the old man or the organization boss.

"I don't care who he likes to hang out with." Describing this kind of thing as a 'play' without any seriousness, the man in the car squinted his eyes and tapped his fingers on the glass window again and again, "But...... Be careful. ”

The accent fell on the last word, and before it could be answered, the windows of the car that had been only open a little rolled down, and the black car disappeared into the night again.

Rye stood still, savoring the words.

This boss is against Columbai

The attitude can be called weird, whether it is the previous behavior or the locator on the silver bracelet, it is clearly written that the desire for control is strong, but it doesn't care much about this kind of thing.

Or is it just because the relationship between the two of them in front of outsiders is like a simple carnal/lust attraction, and he is a member of the organization, no matter what he does, he can't get out of the framework of the organization after all, so the boss will show this attitude.

Turning this thought through my head, I remembered the other person's last warning words.

That's really ...... The man with long black hair raised an eyebrow.

It's really a dialogue full of oppression no matter what kind of scene it is put in.
