Toru Amuro lit a cigarette with a righteous look on his face.
Don’t ask Toru Amuro why he didn’t start the car and leave immediately. He just wanted to take a rest, not because his legs were weak.
…
At night, Sano, who had just completed his mission, was walking home.
It’s not that Sano doesn’t want to take a taxi.
It’s just that sometimes you really can’t find a taxi, especially in areas with few people.
So we can only walk.
This is also the reason why Sano took out the Harley, but that car can only be used in his true identity.
Otherwise, he might get into unnecessary trouble. Previously, Sano would give up using the eMule as his main body and instead take taxis all the time. In addition to the fact that the fare can be reimbursed, this factor also included.
But it would be inconvenient to prepare transportation for each vest.
Sure enough, everything has advantages and disadvantages.
Annoying.
Sano, who was grumbling in his heart, had just turned the corner when he bumped into another figure.
…What the hell, what’s going on these days? Why do you keep bumping into people?
Looking up again, I found that the person who bumped into Sano was a tall man wearing a black coat and a knitted hat.
Um?
Why does this guy look so familiar?
Just when Sano, who had finished muttering in his mind, was feeling confused, Akai Shuichi across from him had something more in his mind.
Why the hell did we hit him again?
Or is this a real “collision”?
…Although Akai Shuichi had thought yesterday that he and the other party were quite destined, it was more of a self-entertainment joke, and it was based on the fact that he would definitely confront the organization in the future, and he would naturally follow him. It’s just based on contact with the other party.
Who would have thought that we would meet again the next day?
Especially now, it is different from the two previous collisions with each other. The first time Akai Shuichi was wearing a mask, and the second time he did not collide head-on. Only now, he neither wore a mask nor turned around at all. space.
For a guy who has inherited his code name, even if he is a newcomer, it is probably impossible for him to say that he has never heard of himself, let alone seen his photos.
Akai Shuichi quickly raised his guard, touched the gun, and prepared for battle.
However, to Akai Shuichi’s surprise, “New Rye” didn’t show anything wrong after scanning him up and down.
He just continued to move forward and passed Akai Shuichi.
…Different from Sano’s previous two collisions, Judy apologized directly last time, so there was no need to pay attention at all. But last time, he was in a passive state and was the one who was hit, so the other party should apologize. .
This time is similar to Judy’s time, both parties are “active”.
It’s best if someone is willing to take the blame and apologize. If both parties are unwilling to speak, then it doesn’t matter. Just pretend that the incident never happened. If either party is unhappy and doesn’t want to, let it go like this.
Then it just depends on whose fist is stronger.
Sano originally just wanted to go home, so he chose the middle one, but it seemed that the other party didn’t think so.
“…Please wait a moment.”
Sano, who was stopped, paused and turned around: “Is something wrong?”
Sano originally thought that the other party was dissatisfied with him and left directly, wanting him to apologize, but to his surprise, the other party actually asked in surprise: “Don’t you recognize me?”
“…Should I recognize you?”
Sano was even more surprised than the other person. Although he did feel that the other person looked familiar, he couldn’t remember when and where he had seen him.
But it’s not a big problem, because the most important thing is that the other party recognizes him… Strictly speaking, he should recognize his rye vest.
In this case, it at least means that the person recognized by the other party is indeed him, not his original body that has no memory at all.
So just follow the normal development, there is no need to pay attention to anything else.
…Across from him, Akai Shuichi still looked dazed.
Did this guy really not recognize himself? No, maybe it’s because he doesn’t know himself at all.
After all, he is a new cadre. Even though he has inherited his code name, he has not been exposed to many things, so there is nothing surprising.
Besides, this might also be an opportunity.
Akai Shuichi was moved in his heart and twitched his lips: “We bumped into each other at the back door of the bar a few days ago. I apologized to you, have you forgotten?”
As he spoke, Akai Shuichi raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose, exposing only the upper half of his face.
“…Oh, it’s you.”
Sano finally understood why he felt that the other person looked familiar: “So, is something wrong?”
“It’s nothing, I just feel like I’m destined to be with you.”
Akai Shuichi tried to make his attitude look friendly: “Would you like to have a drink together?”
Sano raised his eyebrows, feeling that this scene seemed familiar.
…It seemed to be the same development when Sano left school during the day and bumped into Judy at the school gate.
Of course, Sano would not think that the guy opposite him was actually gay and wanted to strike up a conversation with him just like Judy.
The last time Sano saw the other party was at the back door of the bar where the weapons dealer opened the door, so there was a high probability that the other party was not just there to drink, but to buy guns or other weapons.
And those who can get weapons from unofficial channels will naturally not be good people.
There is a high probability that they are criminals or even members of criminal organizations.
So you have to say that a guy who walks in the underground world will feel special fate just because he bumps into someone twice, and even invites someone to drink.
Anyway, Sano would not believe such evil writing.
Even if he really encountered the one in ten thousand chance, Sano didn’t think the other party could survive the previous few days.
If it’s not gay or bad, then there is only one possibility.
This person is approaching me deliberately and has evil intentions towards me… Well, maybe it would be better to have an ulterior motive.
As a cadre member of the organization, Sano has not been in office for too long, but he has done a lot of tasks. In particular, he is relatively high-profile and has obvious “characteristics”.
Therefore, even though the organization has always been based on low-key and mysterious beliefs, and most of the tasks Sano participated in were based on the premise of “killing people”, there are still many people who have been in the underground world for many years and are well-informed, and know that there is someone like him. A person’s existence.
The person in front of him might be another organization that the organization doesn’t deal with, or a lone wolf who has a grudge against the organization, and plans to start with Sano.
But it doesn’t matter.
Sano was still quite curious as to what the other party wanted to do.
So Sano said: “There’s no need to drink. I’m not yet underage. I can help you with dinner, but I have to agree first that you have to treat me.”
Um?
You actually agreed?
Akai Shuichi is not a fool. Of course he can think of what Sano can think of.
In fact, Shuichi Akai had no hope at all whether “New Rye” would agree to go drinking with him, because let alone a criminal, even if he was just an ordinary person, he was suddenly shouted at by a stranger. If you drink together, you will most likely feel confused and be wary.
And the reason why Akai Shuichi still said that even though he knew it was impossible, he just wanted to find an excuse to keep the other party.
Only in this way can contact be produced.
After all, there isn’t really any miraculous “fate” between the two.
I don’t know when we will meet again next time.
All in all, in Akai Shuichi’s opinion, Shinrye would agree to his “drink date”… and now it’s a dinner date, which is very unreasonable.
…Knowing that others have evil intentions but still keeping silent, there is only one possibility.
That means the other party also has evil intentions.
Could it be that the other party has actually recognized him, but he is not sure about winning, so he deliberately pretends not to recognize him so as to give himself a chance to “get close” to the other party.
Are you planning to lure yourself into the trap?
Akai Shuichi’s brain was running rapidly, and the next second he felt something was wrong.
Because judging from the character of the other party’s currently known behavior style, he shouldn’t be someone who would do this.
If he recognized him, he should have drawn his gun directly.
Of course, that information might just be false. The other party is actually very cautious and as steady as an old dog, but he just pretends to be arrogant on the surface.
The purpose is to paralyze the enemy.
Another possibility is that although the opponent recognizes him, he does not intend to take action directly because of his confidence in his own abilities, but to see what his enemy wants to do, or even though he does not recognize him, he does not intend to take action directly. For the same reason as above, I wanted to see what this evil-minded guy like me wanted to do.
But regardless of whether the other party recognizes him or not, at least Akai Shuichi can be sure of one thing at the moment.
