Gin doesn't want to work hard

Of course, he had no problem with Kurosawa. On the contrary, Kurosawa was capable, loyal to the organization, and had an exceptionally keen sense for traitors, making him an indispensable member of the organization.

However, sometimes, overly outstanding employees can also cause trouble for the boss, not to mention that this employee seems to have some psychological issues.

Long ago, Rum complained to him that Gin had killed a large number of his men under the pretext of hunting down traitors, although it was eventually proven that those men were indeed undercover agents.

But after Gin's killing spree, the intelligence group can no longer function.

Those undercover agents were spread throughout the intelligence group. If one or two were missing, it wouldn't be a big problem. But Gin managed to expose them all. With so many people missing in a short period of time, the intelligence group was immediately paralyzed.

Afterwards, the boss also subtly reminded Kurosawa to be careful and at least not to interfere with the normal operation of the intelligence team.

Kurosawa agreed readily at the time, but then turned around and killed two more members of the intelligence team.

Boss: ...

It was around that time that the boss noticed that Kurosawa's mental state didn't seem to be very good.

Kurosawa kills traitors, but the focus seems to be not on the traitors themselves, but on the act of killing them.

According to the boss's investigation, the people that Kurosawa killed were randomly selected, and even the evidence of treason was added afterward, as if he was not afraid of killing the wrong people at all.

Or rather, they didn't care about killing the wrong person.

It seems that for him, it doesn't matter who he kills, as long as he can kill people.

Realizing this, the boss even considered forcibly locking him up in a mental hospital and releasing him after he recovered.

Of course, just thinking about it.

After all, Kurosawa's abilities are indeed outstanding, and he has never killed the wrong person. Thinking about it carefully, whatever his intentions, Kurosawa killed traitors, which is a good thing for the organization as well.

The boss was quite satisfied with this.

As for why Kurosawa never made a mistake, even the boss couldn't figure it out, and could only attribute it to a kind of talent of his own.

After learning about Kurosawa's unusual mental state, the boss immediately took appropriate measures and assigned him various tasks to meet his needs.

After all, the organization is large and powerful. In addition to purging traitors within the organization, there are also many people outside the organization who need to be assassinated or silenced.

And just as the boss had expected, Kurosawa stopped keeping a close eye on the intelligence group.

Now, the boss was even more certain of his judgment.

Of course, the boss also gave Rum a dressing down afterward. After all, his own yard was full of spies, and the leader didn't even know. If word got out, where would the organization's reputation be?

On one hand, he had to keep an eye on Gin's mental state, and on the other hand, he had to keep an eye on Rum's selection criteria to prevent undercover agents... The leaders of the action group and the intelligence group were both troublesome, and Japan was an important location. The boss was so worried during that time that he lost a lot of hair.

Fortunately, things gradually got back on track, and neither of them caused any more trouble...

Of course, this is up to today.

This morning, Rum told him that Gin seemed to have his eye on his intelligence group again.

When the boss wanted to see what Gin had been up to lately, he received this surveillance video.

Judging from Gin's behavior in the video, his condition seems to have worsened.

The boss rested his hands on his chin, his expression deep.

Gin seems to have moved beyond simply killing people; he now seeks to further explore the process of torturing people before committing murder.

The light from the monitor shone on the boss's face, revealing his slightly furrowed brows.

It seems that we can no longer delay dealing with Gin's mental state.

The organization doesn't pay attention to these things, so there aren't many relevant talents, and there are even fewer currently in Japan.

Kurosawa himself is in a state of resistance to this matter.

Thinking of this, the boss frowned even more deeply.

He kept thinking to himself, trying to find a solution.

After a long while, his brows slowly relaxed as he thought of a solution.

Immediately, he picked up his phone and dialed the number saved as "Gin".

"Beep...beep..."

The call was connected.

Thinking about his plan, the boss tapped the table lightly with his fingertips in a good mood.

If all goes well, this time we can not only get Gin to go to the doctor willingly, but also give him a good talking-to.

"Beep...beep...beep..."

The voice on the phone changed, and the boss stopped what he was doing. Just as he was about to speak, a mechanical voice came from the phone.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later..."

Boss: "..."

Chapter 13 Vacation

It's getting light.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, dappling the floor.

After not sleeping all night, Kurosawa finally put down the controller, yawned, and got up to stretch his slightly stiff body.

As he turned his wrist, Kurosawa caught a glimpse of a black cell phone out of the corner of his eye.

He had casually placed it on the coffee table when he was playing games, finding it in the way, but that's not the point.

The key point is that he remembered exactly what he had forgotten.

He probably, maybe, possibly, perhaps... hung up on the boss and left him hanging all night?

Kurosawa looked away somewhat guiltily.

Sigh, the boss is incredibly busy; he probably wouldn't care about a nobody like Gin. It's just accidentally hanging up on the boss; it's nothing, a small matter...

While thinking this to himself, Kurosawa honestly picked up his phone and dialed back.

"Beep...beep..."

The boss on the other end seemed to have been waiting, as the phone was answered after only two rings.

Although the boss answered the phone, he didn't say anything, seemingly waiting for Kurosawa to explain.

Kurosawa hadn't expected his boss to answer the phone so quickly, and he didn't know what to say for a moment since he hadn't thought of an excuse yet.

Neither of them spoke, and the scene was somewhat quiet.

In the end, it was Kurosawa who spoke first.

"Boss, I..."

"boom!!!"

Just as Kurosawa was about to make up some excuse, he was interrupted by a loud noise before he could finish speaking.

The boss on the other end of the phone obviously heard the voice, but without a doubt, he misunderstood.

"Gin, let's find a safe place to talk!"

The boss wasn't surprised when he received Kurosawa's call; what surprised him was that Kurosawa was only calling him back now.

So he answered the phone without saying a word, waiting for Kurosawa's explanation.

After a moment of silence, a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

The voice was somewhat hoarse, and upon closer listening, one could sense the weariness of the person speaking.

But before he could finish speaking, another loud noise came from the other end of the phone.

Without a doubt, that was the sound of a violent explosion.

In an instant, the boss understood everything.

Gin must have stayed up all night doing missions (murder) again last night!

It's estimated that he did something else before committing the murder, and the matter is still being dealt with.

As expected, the explosion just now was an attempt to cover up the crime.

He forgot to call back when he was on a mission (murder), which is exactly what the Gin Society does.

Thinking of this, the boss's anger, which had been building up all night, subsided somewhat, and he calmly told Gin to find a safer place to continue.

After all, a place where the body is disposed of is obviously not a good place to talk.

On the other end of the phone, Kurosawa drew back the curtains and looked at the yard, which had been blasted into a large crater, and Professor Agasa, who was grinning foolishly in the center of the crater and waving in a certain direction.

Upon hearing the boss's words, Kurosawa knew he had misunderstood, but he had no intention of clarifying it.

So what if it's a misunderstanding? Let the boss figure out his own reason for forgetting to return the call—perfect!

Kurosawa's mood improved considerably, and sensing that his boss seemed about to hang up, he quickly stopped him.

"Boss, it's safe here."

Kurosawa didn't want to call back later; that would be too much trouble!

The boss paused for a moment upon hearing this, but didn't say anything more, and directly stated his purpose.

"I won't be giving you any more tasks for the next few days. Go to the hospital for a full mental checkup."

Kurosawa was shocked to hear this.

He even wondered if he was dreaming.

What did he hear?

That scumbag boss who wanted to give him twenty tasks a day just told him he wasn't giving him any more tasks?!

"...Excuse me, what did you just say?" Kurosawa wondered if he had misheard.

The Boss was not surprised by Kurosawa's reaction.

Hearing his slightly trembling voice, the boss felt a little better.

Feeling confident that he had grasped Gin's lifeline, the boss patiently explained.

"Go get a mental health check-up yourself. I won't give you any tasks until the results are in."
