After hiding in the kitchen and counting the number of cups and confirming that they were enough to entertain multiple guests, Hasegawa Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, when I went to the supermarket with Brother Xiuyi to buy daily necessities for him, Brother Xiuyi picked up this set of extra-large and economical cups when he was choosing cups, saying that he was in case of entertaining guests.

At that time, Hasegawa Yu thought that Akai Shuichi wanted to invite his mercenary teammates to come over, but he didn't expect that two months later, the mercenary was still alone and there was no sign of his teammates.

Instead, several seniors came to see him.

Brother Xiuyi is really foresighted!

After sighing, Hasegawa Yu walked out of the kitchen carrying a cup of water.

After obtaining consent, Matsuda Jinpei strolled around the living room like the host, and only sat back on the sofa when he saw someone coming out.

"Is Brother Zhenping coming to New York on an organizational mission?" Hasegawa Yu was curious.

Brother Ling came here after receiving his call. It so happened that the other seniors were all in New York, so it must be an organized mission.

Hearing the orange-haired young man's question, Matsuda Jinpei's eyes wandered for a moment, and he almost wanted to put the sunglasses he had just taken off back on his face.

He accidentally discovered that the blond bastard hurriedly bought a ticket to New York, and thought that Xiaoyou must have something going on, so he followed him.

There was no reason why the blond bastard who had left earlier than him would arrive at the apartment later than him.

Thinking of this, Matsuda Jinpei remained silent and pondered.

"?" Hasegawa Yu tilted his head in confusion, waiting for his next words.

“…”

Matsuda Jinpei took a sip from his water cup and found an excuse that was more in line with Glenlivet.

"The organization has been in turmoil lately, and there just happened to be a facility being traded here that was needed for weapons development. I found an excuse to come here on my own, to get some peace and quiet for a while, and to come see you while I was there."

It is true that the organization is not peaceful.

Ever since the cruise ship was bombed and no clues could be found to the murderer, Karasuma Renya became moody and even more suspicious.

Because the boss of the organization is in a bad mood, the members can only live in fear, fearing that if the mission fails, they will not face the usual punishment, but the gun of the Top Killer.

In the first few days, several codename members even died.

The reason for their death was simply that they passed by nearby before and after the cruise ship exploded.

Fortunately, two months after the incident, Karasuma Renya, who still has no clue about the murderer, seems to have finally calmed down a lot and no longer blames everyone.

Based on this, the members of the organization who knew the inside story kept the cruise ship matter secret. The other members who were unaware were affected and became terrified, resulting in a very depressing atmosphere in the organization.

As for the R&D facilities, there are dedicated people in charge, and it is not Glenlivet's turn to worry about it on a whim.

Hasegawa Yu had heard about some of the follow-up to the cruise, nodded, and quickly believed what he said.

Seeing this, Matsuda Jinpei's eyes turned slightly. "Because of the cruise ship explosion, the boss arranged for us codename members to monitor each other's recent whereabouts to see if there are any suspicious places. The person in charge of me is..."

Hagi passes first, blond bastard... Who knows if he said anything to Xiaoyou in advance, it would be bad if it doesn't match his, pass.

It’s decided to be you, Master Jing!

"...It's Scotland." Matsuda Jinpei said without blinking, "So I came here secretly. I couldn't let Scotland find me."

It is also true that there is mutual supervision, but this only applies to code-named members on the suspect list, and Glenlivet and Scotland are not on this list.

Anyway, Mr. Jing is very busy on business trips every day and has no time to come over and tell me whether this pot is real or fake.

As he thought about it, Matsuda Jinpei lowered his voice and said, "Xiaoyou, if you see anyone, remember to hide it for me, including Bourbon. He will definitely complain to Scotland."

Hasegawa Yu's eyes drifted to the side unconsciously, "Okay, okay."

Why is the relationship between Brother Zhenping and Brother Jingguang always good and bad? They are classmates in the police academy, and he thought Brother Jingguang and the others would help hide it from each other.

Forget it, human interpersonal relationships are very complicated, so the fish gave up thinking.

Matsuda Jinpei snorted silently, very good, the blond bastard had arrived early as expected.

Xiaoyou's gaze was directed towards the bedroom...Why was the blond bastard hiding in the bedroom?

After finding the answer, Jinpei Matsuda fell into confusion.

"Has Brother Ping found a place to live?"

Hasegawa Yuu never forgot the important thing. "It's getting late. New York is just as chaotic at night as Beika Town. There are gunfights everywhere. Brother Jinping, be careful."

Well, whether there is one or not, he can take Brother Zhen Ping out of the apartment!

"Was Xiaoyou affected by the gunfight?" Matsuda Jinpei frowned. "I saw that one-third of the weapons in the secret compartment in the living room were missing."

"Well... the security in New York is not peaceful, so I used it when I went out during the day." Hasegawa Yu, who failed to get the development he wanted, tried hard to come up with an excuse.

In fact, it was Brother Xiuyi who took it away and used it.

But Brother Xiuyi would basically replenish the weapons within two days after taking them away.

The weapons in the secret compartment in the living room should have been taken by Brother Xiuyi last night, and he hasn't had time to replenish them yet.

Hasegawa Yu moved his body and said, "Don't worry, Brother Zhenping, it's okay."

"I see. What about the weapons in the study and bedroom?" Matsuda Jinpei asked. "It's just right that I can replenish them for Xiaoyou as well."

Hasegawa Yu refused, raising his voice slightly, "No need for the study and bedroom!"

Matsuda Jinpei narrowed his eyes slightly, "...Okay."

“Ding Dong——”

It's Scotland.

Hasegawa Yu suddenly jumped up from the sofa.

Startled by his action, Matsuda Jinpei looked up, "Xiaoyou?"

Hasegawa Yu slowly sat back on the sofa, took out his phone and pretended to check the message, then said with a stiff upper lip, "Noah said the person outside the door was Jingguang brother."

Matsuda Jinpei: “…”

"Brother Zhenping, how about we talk to Brother Jingguang?" Hasegawa Yu suggested, "Maybe Brother Jingguang won't report your secret trip to New York to the organization."

"use……"

Thinking of something, Matsuda Jinpei swallowed the words "not necessary" and said, "No, I'd better hide for a while."

He stood up and said, "I'm going to the bedroom..."

Hasegawa Yuu quickly stood in front of the person and said, "No!"

Perhaps realizing he was too excited, he lowered his head to make amends, "The bedroom is a mess. I'm embarrassed to let Brother Zhenping see it."

Matsuda Jinpei was silent for a few seconds, then changed his tone, "The study..."

"No way!" Hasegawa Yuu looked up again.

Facing the black-haired man's teal eyes that seemed to sense something, he tried to make amends again, "The lock on the study door is broken. It can't be opened."

“Ding Dong——”

There was no response, and the doorbell rang again.

"Please wait a moment!"

Hasegawa Yu had a vague illusion that time and space were going backwards.

Haha, such familiar scenes and lines.

"Brother Zhenping, please go to the kitchen."

Hasegawa Yu pushed him towards the kitchen and said, "Don't worry, I will find a way to help you get rid of Jingguang."

Matsuda Jinpei, who was wondering about the study and bedroom, took a few steps along with the force and said, "Wait..."

He can not hide...

"Bang--"

The kitchen door closed in front of Jinpei Matsuda.

Matsuda Jinpei: “.”

Tsk, it’s a bit unlucky, why did it have to be Master Jing.

"Brother Jingguang!"

Hasegawa Yuu was very familiar with the process, opening the door, letting people in, pouring... skipping the part of pouring water, "You've come to New York!"

"I happened to pass by here on an organizational mission." Zhu Fu Jingguang coughed lightly.

In fact, he accidentally discovered that Matsuda bought a ticket to New York for no reason, and thought it must be something related to Xiaoyou, so he followed him.

Sitting on the sofa where Matsuda Jinpei had sat before, Morofushi Jingguang glanced at the two cups on the coffee table and skipped the topic, "Is Okiya Subaru home too?"

The sofa cushions are still warm, and the pair of shoes at the entrance look familiar.

Hasegawa Yu hesitated, "...Yes."

Brother Jingguang knows that he and Brother Shuichi are living together, so it shouldn't be a big deal if he tells them out. Brother Jinping in the kitchen can't hear it at such a low volume.

Hasegawa Yu: "Mr. Okiya is in the study."

Zhu Fu Jingguang seemed to be thinking about something. Why did she seem to be avoiding him?

"Okiya Subaru doesn't want to see me?"

"……no."

Hasegawa Yu didn't want Akai Shuichi to be blamed for his own reasons, "He... just happened to go into the study, huh."

Seeing that the black-haired and phoenix-eyed senior didn't say anything, Hasegawa Yu's forehead was sweating, "I'll go see why Mr. Okiya hasn't come out yet, haha."

Seeing Okiya Subaru's reaction, Morifushi Kagemitsu, who originally didn't want to see him, paused for a moment and said, "Xiaoyou, go."

Halfway through the journey, Hasegawa Yu turned back worriedly and said, "Brother Jingguang, just sit here and wait. I'll be out soon."

Zhu Fujingguang was confused, "Okay."

"Be sure to sit here and wait!" Hasegawa Yu stretched his neck and looked back after turning the corner, giving instructions again.

Zhu Fujingguang: “……?”

"Young Master, have you finished entertaining the guests?"

In the study, Akai Shuichi asked with raised eyebrows while holding a book he had barely read a few pages of.

"We're entertaining you." Hasegawa Yu breathed out, "Mr. Okiya, are you going out?"

Noticing the young man's change of address, Akai Shuichi said "Oh" meaningfully, "Who is the guest who came here?"

"It's Mr. Midorikawa."

Although the knocking sound that Xiuyi heard was not knocked by Jingguang, it was not far off after rounding it off.

Hasegawa Yuu couldn't come up with an excuse, "I think I have to let Mr. Okiya know."

“So it’s Scotland?”

Akai Shuichi closed the book with interest. "It's rare for a guest to come and see the young master's true appearance. How can I not help entertain him?"

The two walked out of the study.

"Mr. Midorikawa, long time no see."

"Mr. Okiya, the same thing. Last time I said I wanted to help Xiaoyou entertain you, but I never had the chance. What a pity."

Hasegawa Yu looked at the smiling one, then at the smiling other, and following his instinct, he picked up the two cups of ice water on the coffee table and said, "The water is cold. I'll go get another glass."

So Morofushi Keimitsu and Akai Hide watched helplessly as the orange-haired young man, holding a cup of water in both hands, opened the kitchen door a crack and squeezed in through the gap.

“?”×2

"Isn't there more than just Scotland out there?"

Looking at the man who had poured three glasses of water and was about to take them out, Matsuda Jinpei brought him a tray and said, "Put it on there."

"Hmm... Hmm!" Hasegawa Yuu said with a guilty conscience, "Just so happens that a friend is here too."

"Isn't it Bourbon?" Jinpei Matsuda asked alertly.

Hasegawa Yu shook his head frantically.

Seeing the orange-haired young man's face full of "Please, please, stop asking", Matsuda Jinpei turned a blind eye and let him go, "Then when are they leaving?"

Hasegawa Yu laughed dryly, "It will be quick, Jinping-ge, haha."

It can't be any faster at all!

Sitting back in the living room, Hasegawa Yuu had a blank look in his eyes and screamed silently.

How could someone cause such a big mess!

Oh, he's not human, that's okay...

There is still something!!!

Hasegawa Yu thought back on what happened and felt that he shouldn't have let Zero hide from the beginning.

Brother Shuichi is wearing a disguise, maybe Brother Zero can't even tell that he is Shuichi Akai?

One wrong step leads to all wrong steps!

After a painful review, Hasegawa Yu realized that his ears were much quieter.

When he raised his eyes, he met two pairs of eyes that were staring at him quietly.

Hasegawa Yu was uneasy, "Mr. Midorikawa, Mr. Okiya, what's wrong?"

Calm down! First, find a way to get Jingguang away, then lock Xiuyi back in the study!

"fine."

Zhu Fujingguang retracted his gaze, "I'm discussing with Mr. Okiya what to eat for dinner. Does Xiaoyou want to eat anything?"

Hasegawa Yuu, who had just begun to formulate a plan in his mind, froze, "Huh?"

Why do we have to have dinner together?

"I was just thinking how cute Xiaoyou's expression was just now."

Facing someone's dangerous gaze, Akai Shuichi pushed up his glasses and changed the subject, "I'm not usually responsible for cooking. Xiaoyou, please help me think about it."

Zhu Fu Jingguang's eyes suddenly became much sharper.

It's ok for an FBI agent who lives off others to live in someone else's house, but he also eats other people's food. He wouldn't even do housework, right?

"Food...why don't we go out to eat?" Hasegawa Yu suddenly had an idea. "There aren't many vegetables left in the refrigerator."

After he goes out, he quietly turns back. Perfect!

Seeing the orange-haired young man's face full of "Please, please, let's go out to eat", Zhu Fujingguang was the first to agree, "I have no objection."

Akai Shuichi: "Since you want to entertain Mr. Midorikawa, I have no objection."

Now that the time was almost up, the three of them prepared to set off.

Hasegawa Yu cheered up and planned the first step, Dacheng...

"Aren't these Mr. Okiya's shoes?"

...big failure!

Hasegawa Yu rushed in front of the two of them and said, "It's mine."

Zhu Fu Jingguang said nothing.

He seemed to remember who had worn these shoes before.

Matsuda!

"Xiaoyou's shoe size doesn't match these two." Akai Shuichi pushed his glasses again.

There is more than one guest coming?

"I accidentally bought the wrong one." Hasegawa Yu secretly urged, "Let's go down quickly, otherwise it will be bad during the evening rush hour."

"Indeed." Zhu Fujingguang agreed slowly, "The evening rush hour in New York is very tiring."

Hasegawa Yu nodded frantically.

Akai Shuichi glanced at the two of them and said nothing more.

"I'll pack up my shoes. Mr. Midorikawa and Mr. Okiya can go ahead. You don't have to wait for me."

Hasegawa Yu used a ready-made excuse, "So as to avoid wearing the wrong shoes later."

Zhu Fujingguang caught a glimpse of his car keys on the cabinet in the entrance hall, but did not pick them up. He turned around and took Akai Shuichi away, "Mr. Okiya, let's go down first."

Seeing the two men walking away, Hasegawa Yu rushed to the kitchen and hurriedly pushed the people inside out again, "Brother Zhenping, Brother Jingguang is gone, you should also hurry up and leave."

Brother Ling is still in his bedroom!

Jinpei Matsuda stood there, not moving.

Hasegawa Yu, who couldn't push him away, peeked out from behind him, "Jinpei... Haha, Jingguang brother, why are you back?"

"I forgot my car keys."

Zhu Fushi Jingguang grabbed the car keys from the entrance cabinet and twirled them between his fingers. "What a coincidence, Matsuda is here to see Xiaoyou too."

Matsuda Jinpei's eyelids twitched, and he crossed his arms over his chest, "No?"

"Then why didn't I run into you when I went upstairs earlier?" Zhu Fu Jingguang pretended to be puzzled, with a hint of innocence in his blue-gray phoenix eyes.

"Maybe I missed it by chance."

Feeling someone grabbing the corner of his clothes, Matsuda Jinpei said calmly, "I came up the stairs on the other side of the apartment."

Zhu Fushi Jingguang nodded as if suddenly understanding, "It's fun with so many people. Would you like to join us for dinner, Matsuda?"

"no problem."

Seeing that the two were at peace, Hasegawa felt relieved. "Seniors, please go first. I'll change my clothes and follow you soon."

Matsuda Jinpei, who knew there was a ghost in the bedroom, said: "..."

It is not clear that Zhu Fushi Jingguang, who also came to New York as a child, is: "?"

"Leave."

Matsuda Jinpei pulled Morofushi Kagemitsu over without further ado, "Don't dawdle. Xiaoyou, we'll wait for you downstairs."

Zhu Fujingguang: “???”

Hasegawa Yu pricked up his ears and waited for a minute, making sure they all took the elevator and left, then rushed back to the bedroom, "Zero-nii!"

Fūya Rei, who had been in the bedroom for who knows how long, was standing by the window looking at the scenery. "Xiaoyou, will you be afraid that my friend will leave?"

"Uh-huh."

Time was urgent, and Hasegawa Yu grabbed his arm without saying a word and led him out the door, "Brother Ling, I'm sorry I can't entertain you, I have something to go out for."

Jianggu Ling: "???"

"Where are you going, Xiaoyou? I'll take you there."

[Xiaoyou, Hagiwara Kenji is coming upstairs.]

"I can do it myself. I have Noah here."

Hasegawa Yu, who was dizzy and confused by a series of changes, only felt that he was hallucinating.

What was Noah in his head saying to him?

“Ding Dong——”

The death doorbell rang for the umpteenth time today.

Fūya Rei, who happened to be standing at the entrance, turned his gaze towards the door panel and asked, "Is it Xiaoyou's friend who was afraid of me who has returned again?"

"No." Hasegawa Yu lowered his head sullenly, "Noah said it was Yan'er brother."

Look on the bright side, at least I don’t have to hide Brother Ling anymore!

The door opened, and Hagiwara Kenji, who was carrying two large bags of food, blinked, "Hey, Bourbon-chan is here too~"

"You guys are going out? I just happened to bring some food with me."

First, they discovered that they had been unable to reach Yukunran for a while, and then they found out that he was on a plane to New York. Then, unexpectedly, they discovered that Morobushi Keimitsu had also bought a ticket. Then, they checked and found that Furuya Rei had also bought a plane ticket. Hagiwara Kenji smiled brightly, "It's definitely enough for six...five of us."

Well, I don’t know if the mercenary is in there.

Furuya Rei: "Five?"

Hasegawa Yu looked away, "..."

Knowing that the flight time was close, Hagiwara Kenji thought everyone would have bumped into each other a long time ago: "?"

Five minutes later, the other three people who had gone downstairs returned to the apartment.

"I didn't see you when I came downstairs just now, Speyside." With outsiders present, Zhu Fu Jingguang switched back to using the code name, and this time he was really confused.

Hagiwara and Zero appeared out of nowhere, the latter even holding two large supermarket shopping bags!

"I saw the elevator was in use and the floor was not high, so I came up the stairs on the other side." Kenji Hagiwara told the truth.

Zhu Fushigami received a familiar answer: "..."

Hagiwara and Matsuda are truly childhood friends.

Akai·Gaijin·Xuichi glanced at the few people without leaving a trace, "This is a bit bad, there may not be enough tableware."

"It's okay, I bought disposable tableware." Kenji Hagiwara smiled brightly.

Akai Shuichi nodded, "Then I'm relieved. It's really rude to let the guests worry about this."

"Ah, after all, the apartment is in my name, so I know what's inside."

Hagiwara Kenji raised his voice, "Mr. Okiya, please don't be so formal~"

After the words were spoken, the two looked at each other in silence for a second.

Hasegawa Yu, who was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, felt that the whole ordeal had consumed a lot of his brain power and he urgently needed to replenish his energy.

In the slightly awkward atmosphere, he brought up a new topic that everyone could participate in, "It's almost time, shall we prepare dinner?"

Stop standing there looking at each other, it scares the fish!

After saying that, Hasegawa Yu glanced over the ingredients that Hagiwara Kenji brought, trying to improve the relationship among everyone, "There is flour in the kitchen, why don't we make dumplings together!"

The other five people: "..."
