Chapter 87 - Identification (2)

"While I don't believe I made a mistake, it's better to be safe than sorry."

After that, Vermouth rarely came too close to her when testing her. She just appeared somewhere close by until Sake pointed out her real identity in some mission last year.

It was at that time Vermouth realized her disguise was useless for Sake.

So the testing has to stop.

And since it has been ongoing for nearly three years without her revealing any flaw and her own mission record was really good, she was promoted to be the third in command.

Well, there were also some other factors but that's for later. 

So seeing someone in disguise in the video, Sake happily pointed it out for no. 6.

Anyway, everyone here could testify that she didn't open her phone. Their brain channel is a bug for them.

Otherwise, this game would be unplayable.

After all, their opponents are a bit… *sigh*

Hmm?

Vermouth received a message and frowned when she saw it. It was Rum asking her if she had helped someone to make a disguise recently.

After all, not many people were capable of doing the same thing as her.

While it was not impossible, it was still quite rare.

So Rum first came to Vermouth to ask.

Vermouth clicked her tongue in annoyance, but she still replied to the message honestly. After all, she has no interest to cover up for no. 10 who blackmailed her some time ago.

That man was really annoying.

If Rum wanted to make trouble for him, then Vermouth welcomed him very much. That way, she would have something less that she had to worry about.

"Gin, do you remember HTD medicine?" 

Gin looked at Vermouth as if he was looking at a fool. As part of the action team, Gin would not care about things that he couldn't use.

Vermouth looked over the bar and saw Sake looking over with some interest, Cava and Vodka looked confused.

Well, as expected, these two people are really lowering the organization members' IQ.

"Well, apparently some people dare to use the medicine we developed to make profit for themselves." Vermouth chuckled. "Would you like to clean up the mess?"

Sake arched her eyebrows. "I think I stated very clearly that I'm in Japan for vacation. How come I ended up working more and more?"

Vermouth stepped closer to Sake and lightly hugged the other party's arm. Vermouth is taller than Sake, making the scene rather cute. 

"Don't worry, Sweetheart, you don't have to do the mission if you don't want to."

"Who's the target?" Gin looked disgusted at these two people's flirting even though he had seen Vermouth's acting so much.

"Unclear, the police are still investigating."

Gin frowned at those words.

Sake chuckled. "Our model worker can also be tired and following those police officers is disgusting enough. Why don't you let Cava do it? You're suspicious of him just now anyway and he can clear his name this way."

"Oh?" Gin looked over at Cava who seemed to be forcing himself to stay calm. "He looks stupid."

"I can do it!" Cava quickly said and gritted his teeth. "Isn't it just eliminating a few people? I can do it."

At this moment, no. 7 was relieved that he didn't have to face Gin most of the time in the past three years. In fact, the first time he saw Gin was in his third year after he slacked off so much because he was so tired.

Thankfully he was able to survive and after that, he called his contact to ask for help.

After the mainline started, he came to Japan and saw Gin again. At this moment, his entire body seemed to be screaming the word 'danger'.

If it was really possible, he wanted to get away from Gin, but Cava knew that it was impossible. 

He was an ordinary person in his previous life. There was no danger of sudden death all the time nor did he have to worry about being found out so much. 

In this world, he could only get comfort from his contact and team members. But they couldn't appear often because it would arouse the organization's suspicion.

If there were no good reason, they should not appear near him or they'll be in danger.

He also contacted his girlfriend once a week.

She left her phone number secretly through codes that allowed him to find her. 

Really, his girlfriend is smarter than him and she lived extremely well in this world. So much that even if they knew each other was on the opposite site, they tacitly pretended that they knew nothing.

Just silently comfort the other party.

The only good thing after the start of the mainline was the fact that he could see his girlfriend almost every single day. The reason is also obvious: He's injured and needs a doctor to treat him. In this way, even if someone saw him with the other party, they'll not be suspicious.

Being forced to change her identity to be a doctor was proven to be a good thing for no. 9. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to contact her boyfriend openly like this.

And no. 9 herself also felt that it was quite good. 

"Then you go," Vermouth replied with a chuckle and continued to lean down on Sake's arm as if she was boneless.

Sake looked at Vermouth speechlessly. "If you're thinking of planting bugs on me again, you better stop. You're different from Bourbon who can fight well."

"So stingy." Vermouth shook her head elegantly and moved away, picking her own glass that she had prepared for herself and drank it calmly.

Sake shrugged and drank the sake in her glass with a smile on her face.

Gin snorted in disgust, Vodka was trying to reduce his presence while Cava felt that the world is truly magical. 

"I'll be going now." Cava walked out of the bar without hesitation.

While being hugged by Vermouth might be a dream come true for many people, but no. 7 didn't want that kind of blessing.

But right after he left the bar, no. 11 heard the notification in his brain channel. 

[Ding! No. 1's impromptu performance in front of Vermouth is excellent. Congratulations for earning the title, "Troublesome yet Tasteful Colleague" You have obtained the score of 90 in this performance and received 90 fun points]

[Undercover Agent from Metropolitan Public Security [7]: …

High School Student [2]: Huh? Did you tease Vermouth? You know that her real age is a bit… 

Drug Dealer [3]: Old woman. 

Megumi Aiko [4]: How did you get the favor of this woman? Isn't she known to be very difficult to approach or something?

ICPO Undercover Agent in Winery[1]: Shouldn't there be no impromptu performance during a performance? 

Public Security Officer [5]: It might be because you're not among the list of participants… Can you tell me what you did, no. 1? I feel that no matter what you do, I won't be surprised anymore. 

ICPO Undercover Agent in Winery[1]: I didn't do anything. (smile.jpg)

High School Student [2]: (suspicious look. jpg)

Drug Dealer [3]: + 1 

Megumi Aiko [4]: + 2

Undercover Agent from Metropolitan Public Security [7]: I have the privilege of seeing Vermouth teasing no. 1 when he's helping me to get this mission. If I hadn't known about it in advance, I would never suspect that he's a fake wine.

Doctor [9]: That means no. 1 is very suitable to become an undercover agent. Thank you for your help and you can do it, Sweetheart~.

Undercover Agent from Metropolitan Public Security [7]: Haha dear, can you not use that word for the time being? I have a bit of PTSD after hearing Vermouth using it.

Doctor [9]: Yes, Dear.

Undercover Agent from Metropolitan Public Security [7]: I'm going to check it now. Have you found out who among the two disciples is the one who sells the medicine?

Megumi Aiko [4]: No, we're still investigating and now we're trying to locate no. 10. However, the surveillance cameras are very lacking and it's really hard to track him down.]

After Kami Shita revealed the man's disguise, Miwako and Megumi Aiko were working to retrieve his file and found that the person with this face does exist.

But he appeared in a completely different place.

Moreover, they caught something interesting… This man was caught on surveillance camera breaking into a house just yesterday.

"While this is not our mission, this man is also a criminal, so it's better if he's caught together." Miwako simply called Takagi and let him work together.

Megumi Aiko's lips twitched. 

Well, it seemed that this was such a coincidence.

But does someone who has been in the Black Organization for such a long time be so careless?
