Chapter 19: Is this also a competition for posts?

At the same time, the other side ——————

"Do you want me to say congratulations on your appointment?" Shiho Miyano looked at the person who appeared in front of him and asked.

Akai Shuichi smiled slightly: "It's not necessary. ”

Shiho Miyano retracted his gaze, and the corners of his mouth hooked: "Well, joining this organization itself is not something to be congratulated. ”

…… My girlfriend's sister is still a poisonous tongue Lori as always!

Shuichi Akai is also accustomed to the other party's speaking style, and he didn't dwell on this, but showed a look of wanting to speak and stopped, and mixed with a little confusion at the right time, and asked tentatively: "Shirley, you are more familiar with Miss Xia Xi, right?" ”

Miyano Shiho remembered the phone call and the warning declaration he received when he was with Natsume Natsuki before, glanced at him, and said in a rather unpolite tone: "Well, you have already guessed that she is a member of the organization, right?" Now that you know, you don't have to hide it. ”

"Hmm......" Akai Shuichi hesitated, "it's not really anything else, it's just that I found that if I mention her to the rest of the organization, their attitude will become a little strange...... And it doesn't feel like it's because of her, it seems to be aimed at me......"

Shiho Miyano: "......"

Shiho Miyano understands in seconds, but Shiho Miyano doesn't say it.

After all...... It can't be said that it's because you are very easy to get involved in other people's emotional disputes, you look like you are easy to be harassed by someone's workplace, and you happen to know each other, and everyone will mistakenly think that you are her into the organization to show complicated expressions, right?

And especially when someone really wants to play a stand-in show......

However, Miyano Shiho didn't say it, which doesn't mean that Akai Shuichi didn't guess.

After a pause, he asked, "Is it because I look more alike to someone?" And this person has a lot to do with Miss Natsume? ”

Although this sentence is a question, the tone is firm.

It's not to blame Shuichi Akai for being too sensitive, it's really other people's performances that are too obvious.

Hearing this, Shiho Miyano stopped moving his hand and looked over: "Did you listen to someone say what?" ”

"It's not so much who you listen to, it's better to listen to everyone." Shuichi Akai smiled slightly.

His temporary partner, Scotland, is a calm character, and it is not clear what to ask. But another colleague ...... In particular, that Chianti is not only obvious, but also should have a grudge against Natsume Natsuki, gloating and sowing discord.

He also learned from the other party that Natsume Natsuki's code name was cocoa.

It can only be said that there is a real reason for cocoa to slap Chianti every time.

And Shuichi Akai also learned about another person from it...... The status in the organization can be ranked in the top 10, the seniority is also very strong...... Gin.

If this person can be caught, the organization will not only be severely damaged, but will also get a lot of information they want. ——Akai S. FBI agent Shuichi thought so.

And it just so happens that now because of this inexplicable nepotism, the two can get along, since Gin has similarities with him, and the rest of the organization is recognized, then the probability of continuing to lurk and climb up and confront each other is very high.

In a short period of time, Shuichi Akai has preliminarily set his ultimate goal, and he is also working towards this goal.

It is up to him to climb up, but as for other aspects......

"Just listen to what others say." Shiho Miyano put his hands in the pockets of his white coat and said in a cool tone, "You don't have to worry, although she has a lot of tastes, she is not very interested in you." ”

As a good girlfriend of a person, coupled with the person who has been complaining and confiding in, Miyano Shiho understands the other party's emotional state very well.

She also knows a lot about cocoa. If the person in front of her is not her sister's boyfriend, she may still take advantage of it in some way, but with this identity, she definitely won't have any thoughts about that - because she is the type who is not interested in other people's things.

As soon as Shiho Miyano said that, Shuichi Akai's eyes became more complicated for a moment, and he glanced at the tea-haired girl in front of him subtly.

He agrees with what the other party said. After all, he is not inexperienced or without emotional intelligence, and it can be seen that Natsume Natsuki's attitude towards him is more like being on the sidelines waiting for an opportunity to come up and punch him than interested.

Compared to Natsume Natsuki's interest in him, it is more likely that Natsume Natsuki is interested in Miyano Shiho. After all, he almost thought they were a couple...... Wait, why does Shiho Miyano say she has mixed tastes? What does this imply? Isn't this organization a bit messy about emotional issues?

After Shiho Miyano said this, he didn't explain much, but looked down at the new email he had just received - it was from Cocoa, asking her to go shopping, and complaining that he had to work again during this time.

The expression on his face changed unconsciously, with a hint of a smile, and he couldn't help frowning when he saw that the other party said that Belmode had to kiss her.

Shuichi Akai observed her expression and guessed, "Is it Miss Natsume's email?" ”

"Hmm." Shiho Miyano put away his phone and looked at him, "Is there anything else?" ”

Speaking of which, Shuichi Akai stopped selling Guanzi anymore, and asked hesitantly, "So, which one is Miss Natsume's ......?"

He didn't finish his sentence, but the blank space was enough to make people understand what he meant.

Shiho Miyano recalled every time his friend came to his side to complain and confide, and replied calmly: "I don't know, probably retribution." ”

Shuichi Akai: "......? ”

didn't get much answer, and Akai Shuichi understood that he couldn't continue to ask, so he shut up and decided to go elsewhere to find out the news.

After all, one of the great conveniences given to him by his identity is to inquire about this information, and no one suspects that he has ulterior motives. It's that look of sympathy or pity or schadenfreude that makes people feel subtlely angry.

But in addition to that, he had one more thing to ask: "By the way, Shirley, my recent missions have suddenly become much more than at the beginning, and they are all more dangerous, I tested the others, they are left and right to talk about other things, but I feel that the subtext is because of Miss Natsume...... Did I offend her before? ”

He really wondered, could it be because of the high-five-like handshake when they first met?

Shiho Miyano was also indifferent to this: "I don't know, it may be your retribution." ”

Shuichi Akai: "......??? ”

Isn't this little girl's poisonous tongue attribute a little too high? - Akai Shuichi thought about it, but still didn't forget the business, and added the last sentence: "Then should I please her?" Or is there anything she needs help with? ”

Miyano Shiho just wanted to say no, but then remembered someone's replacement plan, and after thinking for a while, he replied: "Wait a minute, I can help you ask." ”

***

It seems that Bourbon was not just curious, but even put into action.

Sure enough, it was from the BFI group, but it was more active than the other groups.

I don't think the other person is interested in me and comes to hook up with me, after all, I know Bourbon's profile, even if it's just the first time we meet, I have a preliminary judgment about what kind of person the other person is.

I just don't know what Bourbon is curious about...... Can you get my contact information from Belmode, right? A little curious, I don't know what he said to Belmode, so she agreed to give her contact information.

I don't explain the whole story to the gin boss, in addition to feeling troublesome, I do have a little bit of my own careful thinking - after all, I still said that I want to find a replacement! Of course, it feels like it's possible to be included in the candidates, and then see which of them is closer and more capable of walking in front of the gin boss!

Of course, I certainly won't ask Bourbon to help me with what Belmode asked me to do.

My [Nana Kashiyama] Vest won't let anyone else know about it except for stakeholders.

At present, in addition to the boss who gave the order, Pisk and Ireland, who also need to cooperate, as well as Gin Boss and Vodka, know my identity. Belmode only knew that I was out of town, but not the specifics...... Of course, if you see it in person, you guess Belmode will recognize it.

Thinking of this, I took out my phone and sent an email to Belmode: [What's going on over there in Bourbon? 】

Belmode was also quick to recover.

[It seems that he is quite interested in you, and he has more contact with Rum, so you are also interested, right?] 】

Not...... That's right.

I know that Rum's faction is actually faintly opposite to the Gin Boss, and Rum is the BOSS's right and left hand, whether I want to pull the Gin Boss to change careers or take the position, Rum is quite a big obstacle, plus the other party's main intelligence piece, it is very good to engage in mysticism and conceal his identity, and almost no one in the organization knows what he looks like except for the BOSS, even if I have been specially trained by him for a period of time, I have not seen his true face during that time- At that time, he was communicating with me remotely using a processed electronic voice.

Among the people in the organization I know who hide themselves so desperately, besides the boss, it's Rum. So I've been secretly trying to gather news about him. Belmode knows this, too, and will give me some leaks from time to time.

With that in mind, I replied to Belmode: "Sort of, thanks. 】

But before I could figure out how to reply to Bourbon, Shirley's email came.

[Your replacement candidate No. 1 wants to please you, let me help you ask if there is anything you need help with?] You can call him as you like. 】

I froze for a moment, staring at the message, lost in thought.

What's going on? Suddenly, there is still competition for a job?

Forget it, no matter what the hell the two of them have in their hearts, the situation will be in my favor.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but turn my head to look at the gin boss who was driving there, and was about to move—what if I told him with a big smile now that I had found a replacement candidate, or two?
