Gin doesn't want to work hard

They will most likely say things that are ambiguous, pointed but not very clear to others.

And rum...

He was not particularly sensitive to these things.

It's very likely they'll just give a perfunctory answer.

By then, Rum will probably be convinced by Amuro Tooru that he was the person in the coffee shop that day.

Think of this.

Kurosawa lowered his eyes slightly, continuing to ponder the potential impact of this matter.

First, there's probably another rumor circulating within the organization about Rum.

Perhaps he will go directly from "a man who is like a woman" to "a beautiful woman".

Okay, let's just get a sex change.

Kurosawa was pleased to see this situation.

After all, Rum didn't want others to know his identity, did he?

In this way, you could say you've actually helped him.

Besides, I heard that he recently went abroad on a business trip.

I wonder what will happen after hearing this rumor.

Will they be able to come back in time?

Kurosawa was somewhat expectant.

After all, it seems there's still a score to settle between him and Rum.

I've been too busy before and haven't had the time.

After today, Akemi Miyano made her decision.

He should have some free time.

This is a good opportunity to squeeze some money out of Rum.

Chapter 68 Shopping

Time passed slowly, and the number of customers in the coffee shop gradually increased.

With other people already seated around, this place was no longer suitable for conversation.

Kurosawa stood up and gestured with his eyes that it was time for the two to leave.

Shiho Miyano and Akemi Miyano were already used to this.

They silently got up and walked out one after the other.

Kurosawa followed at the very back, glancing at Amuro Tooru busy behind the counter as they passed.

Without intending to greet him, Kurosawa withdrew his gaze and walked out of the coffee shop.

Amuro Tooru did not miss that fleeting glance.

But he didn't do anything, pretending not to notice.

After the coffee shop door closed again and everyone was sure they had left,

Amuro Tooru then stopped what he was doing.

Just like a normal waiter.

He picked up a tray, walked out from behind the counter, and went to the spot where Kurosawa and the others had just been sitting.

Amuro Tooru silently gathered up the cups, but paused when he saw the cup of black coffee that had clearly not been drunk by anyone.

But soon, he naturally picked up the cup and placed it on the tray.

After wiping the table clean, Amuro Tooru carried the tray back to the counter.

He put the cup in the sink and turned on the tap.

The water gushed out and fell into the cup, dissolving the remaining coffee inside.

The coffee was diluted with water, but the aroma of coffee still wafted through the air.

With the slightly bitter aroma of coffee wafting from his nose, Amuro Tooru rolled up his sleeves.

He pondered as he washed the cups.

The untouched cup of black coffee he had just seen made him wonder if Gin really liked it.

But not necessarily.

Given Gin's wary nature, it's understandable that he wouldn't drink the coffee he served.

Of course, it could also be simply because Gin doesn't eat or drink outside.

In short, there are many possibilities.

He cannot dismiss his previous conjectures based solely on this.

Unfortunately, yesterday's donation was not received.

Before he could even look at it, both cups of coffee were poured out.

Afterwards, when he casually asked about it, he replied...

As for whose it was, she couldn't remember.

Amuro Tooru immediately recognized it as Gin.

After all, going into a coffee shop, ordering coffee, and then not drinking it does seem like something Gin would do.

However, without evidence, Amuro Tooru couldn't draw a conclusion directly.

However, considering what happened today, Amuro Tooru's inner balance has already tipped.

Given Gin's cautious nature, it's normal for him not to eat or drink outside.

As for whether Gin actually likes black coffee.

Amuro Tooru is more inclined to like him.

After all, this was Gin's personal order.

As for whether the person from yesterday was Gin or not...

Although Amuro Tooru already had the answer in his heart.

But he felt he still needed to confirm it again.

However, judging from his encounter with Gin today, it seems he won't find the answer from Gin.

But Gin wasn't alone yesterday either.

He could start with Rum...

With that in mind, Amuro Tooru decided to confirm this when he contacted Rum later.

……

the other side.

Kurosawa led the Miyano sisters to a street specifically for shopping.

The two sisters had just discussed going shopping.

Kurosawa generally doesn't interfere with their actions, so they directly expressed their thoughts.

Shiho Miyano and her sister then strolled hand in hand, full of enthusiasm.

Kurosawa followed them at a distance, making sure they were within his sight.

Although Kurosawa didn't want to follow them, he at least had to pretend.

However, barring any unforeseen circumstances, this will be the last time he accompanies the two sisters out.

After all, he has already achieved freedom of action.

We won't need to rely on monitoring them to escape missions anymore.

Because Kurosawa was some distance away from them, the Miyano sisters were much more relaxed.

They strolled along, buying anything they liked without hesitation.

Shiho Miyano's smile grew wider as she picked up a piece of clothing and held it up against herself, asking for her sister's opinion.

Akemi Miyano smiled and nodded, then opened her mouth and said something to her.

Shiho Miyano then placed the clothes on the table next to her.

There were already a few pieces of clothing there, which the two of them planned to buy.

Kurosawa stood not far away watching this scene.

At least for now, Shiho Miyano and Akemi Miyano really do seem like an ordinary pair of sisters.

Kurosawa stopped paying attention to that side and lit a cigarette.

Go shopping and have fun. The happier you are now, the more disappointed you will be when it's time to say goodbye.

When feelings of disappointment accumulate to a peak, they will erupt at a certain moment.

At that point, people's desires will be impossible to suppress.

Humans are inherently greedy.

Once you've gained some things, you'll always want more.

A long time ago, Shiho Miyano went abroad to study, while Akemi Miyano stayed in Japan.

At that time, Akemi Miyano's wish was simple: to see her sister.

Later, Shiho Miyano returned to Japan, and the two were able to meet again.

Akemi Miyano also hoped that they could have more time to meet.

Now, Kurosawa gives her the opportunity to see her sister once a week.
