Chapter 76: The Dirty Bun He Wanted to Eat Secretly His eyes were like the sea.
After washing herself with great difficulty, tidying up the bathroom, and applying a facial mask, Hasegawa Yumi, who had a regular sleep schedule, fell asleep.
The next morning, he received a deep look from the blond senior who got up at the same time as him.
"Brother Zero?"
After meeting in the corridor, the young man who was carried from the bedroom door all the way to the sofa in the living room called out in confusion.
By the way, Hasegawa Yu has given up on correcting the behavior of some of his seniors who always like to carry him around.
On the one hand, I should try to reduce my exercise as much as possible before the wounds on my legs heal. On the other hand, as Brother Yan Er said, there are no outsiders in this villa anyway.
Be generous!
The blond, dark-skinned man placed the warm water in his hand where the young man could reach it.
After a few breaths, he subtly hinted, "Xiaoyou, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me."
Hasegawa Yuu, who had been gulping down water with his head tilted back, paused, puffed out his cheeks, and tilted his head. "?"
"The rules are the same as that night." Furuya Rei's gaze unconsciously moved to the young man's cheek.
He was referring to the night they took a Polaroid selfie together.
Furuya Rei tried to guide her, "Whatever questions you have, I will answer them truthfully."
It was clearly Hiro who first proposed the idea of imprisonment. Even if it was a child, he can't be the only one to bear the blame!
"Hmm..." Hasegawa Yu put the empty cup of water back on the coffee table, "Let me think about it."
"Or if you have anything else to say, you can just say it directly." Furuya Rei said secretly.
Upon hearing this, Hasegawa Yu's gaze fell on the man in front of him.
The light snow that had fallen overnight gradually stopped as the sun rose. The bright sunlight shone through the open curtains in the villa's living room and fell on the man's light blond hair, as if to dye it a purer color.
The man's rare purple-gray eyes appeared much clearer under the morning sun.
In a trance, Hasegawa Yu saw from his eyes the night of the last second of dawn, and the sea surface illuminated by the first ray of gold rising from the horizon.
Mysterious, gorgeous and beautiful.
The sea is the cradle of life.
The orange-haired young man blinked slowly, then smiled brightly at the man, his orange-gold eyes dancing with light, "What I want to say...Zero's eyes are like the ocean I've ever seen, so beautiful~"
It seems like most human males aren't used to being described as handsome?
Hasegawa Yu immediately said the next second: "Zero-kun is also very handsome today!"
Wearing the usual mouse-gray suit he usually wears to work, Rei Furuya was stunned: 0.0
Suppressing the heat coming from his ears, Furuya Rei said uncertainly, "Thank you for the compliment?"
The sea has a very special meaning to mermaids... Is that what he thinks it means?
"Brother Ling, is Kazami Yuya a subordinate you value?"
After praising him, Hasegawa Yu smoothly turned the atmosphere back to business, without feeling that there was anything wrong.
"...Yes." Fūya Rei closed his eyes and suddenly became much calmer.
"He's connected to Rum." Hasegawa Yu said seriously, "He's a spy!"
Noah discovered this on the day the apartment building exploded, but because they only had a brief chat at the time, and he later had heatstroke and other things to deal with, he completely forgot to remind Brother Ling.
This was really wrong, Hasegawa Yu was annoyed, "I forgot to tell Brother Ling before."
Fortunately, it was still in time to save it.
"It doesn't matter."
A cunning flashed across the eyes of Rei Furuya, whose brain had cooled down. Seeing that the orange-haired young man was relieved, an intriguing smile appeared on his lips, "I know this, or rather... it was intentional."
Karasuma Renya once gave him a task: to be elected as a member of parliament or to be an undercover public security officer.
At that time, Rei Furuya, who had not yet recovered his memories of the original world, tended to the latter, but in the end he came to become a member of parliament as if he was possessed by a ghost.
Not only that, but by accident a member of the Karasuma family specially arranged by Karasuma Ren'ya was squeezed out.
The purpose of Karasuma Renya arranging this puppet of the same clan was to help him be promoted to prime minister step by step, and even the relevant resources and routes were paved.
The process of being promoted to prime minister is extremely complicated and takes a lot of time. Furuya Rei's move completely disrupted and delayed Karasuma Renya's original plan.
Looking back after regaining his memory, if he had become a public security officer, the person sitting in the prime minister's position now would probably be named Karasuma.
This is even worse than Hagiwara's hellish joke, thought Rei Furuya.
The boss of the Black Organization is the actual person in power behind the Prime Minister, so Japan should not take it anymore. It would be better to hack into the nuclear bomb system and let everyone sink the island together.
Fortunately, he inexplicably chose the path of a member of parliament.
After becoming a member of parliament, Fūya Ling did not forget to do both. In the intervals between his busy work as a member of parliament, he selected a public security officer, recruited him and trained him to provide him with various intelligence.
Unexpectedly, after he secretly trained and improved Yuya Kazami's abilities to help him move up, Rum, who wanted to develop an informant within the Public Security Bureau, also took a fancy to Kazami.
Yuya Kazami reported the matter to Rei Furuya immediately.
Being able to secretly obtain a piece of intelligence about Rum's movements for free, there's no reason to throw away such a good thing.
Thus, Mr. Spy was born.
And Rum has been kept in the dark so far.
After explaining the matter of Kazami Yuya to Hasegawa Yu, Furuya Rei didn't know whether he should be angry with Kazami.
I was so angry that a police officer could be so easily incited by a gang and not stick to his original intention at all!
Although it was mainly because of the collapse of the world.
But Kazami's abilities have improved a lot compared to when he was in the original world.
Fūya Rei, who had undergone even more rigorous, all-round devilish training than in his original world, rubbed his chin unconsciously.
Could this be the legendary...blackened and three points stronger?
"That's hypothetical."
After learning the truth, Hasegawa Yuu suddenly thought of something and leaned forward, emphasizing, "It's just a hypothesis."
Seeing the man nod for him to continue, the orange-haired young man continued, "Suppose that Brother Zero is undercover in the Public Security Bureau, and Kazami happens to be one of your subordinates. Rum wants to develop him into his own informant. Will Brother Zero notice?"
Hearing the young man's "hypothesis," Furuya Rei's eyes flickered slightly, and he said calmly, "Of course."
"Bourbon is used to keeping everything under his control. If Rum wants to incite the people around him to rebel, he will definitely monitor them secretly."
Didn't care why the man used the third person, Hasegawa Yu's attention was all on what he was going to say.
"If it's the situation above, and the Public Security and Investigation Division 1 handles a case that's unexpectedly related to the organization, such as a bribery list, will Rei have Kazami report the case process in detail to Rum?"
"What role does Xiaoyou play in this?" Fūya Rei pretended to be curious.
Hasegawa Yu was confused. "Suppose I wasn't very familiar with Rei-nii at the time, and I wasn't with the Investigation Section."
After a few seconds of silence, Furuya Rei spoke slowly, "If Xiaoyou isn't here, Bourbon will."
"As long as it doesn't affect his own interests, in order to make Kazami act as a good 'informant', he wouldn't mind revealing this kind of information, which is harmless to Bourbon, to Rum."
"Oh." Hasegawa Yu lowered his head slightly, "Is that so."
Shinichi said that he and Bourbon had a bad relationship before he recovered his memory, so it was normal for Bourbon to reveal his clues to the organization.
But is the difference between his presence and his absence really that big for Bourbon?
Hasegawa Yu felt a complex emotion in his heart that he couldn't explain.
It seems that my existence has a great impact on Bourbon...Zero Brother.
"Why did Xiaoyou suddenly assume that I was going undercover as a police officer?"
Furiya Rei curled his fingertips on his knees slightly, staring intently at the young man's expression. "I've told Xiaoyou before, right? People in the organization really hate anything to do with the police."
"So it's just a hypothesis." Hasegawa Yu didn't dare to look at him and tugged at the corner of his clothes with his fingers.
After a moment, the orange-haired young man seemed to realize that he was a little obvious, so he sat up straight and secretly glanced at the man's expression.
Seeing his series of small movements that he thought were covert, Jōtani Ling felt helpless and stopped asking questions.
Forget it, he can't be the bad guy who "forces the question" now.
As if sensing some kind of safety signal, Hasegawa Yu moved his body, "There is still a problem."
Furiya Rei added new water to his cup, "Hmm?"
"Are Zero and Shirley on good terms?"
Could it be that Shirley is also on the red side?
Furuya Rei paused. "Normally. Shirley's confidentiality level is very high. Ordinary code members can't see her—including Spese and the others."
"Hmm."
Hasegawa Yu was troubled. How could he get close to them without letting Shirley, who had not yet recovered her memory, tell the organization about the existence of the red team?
"The only exception is Miyano Akemi, but my relationship with her is just average."
Furuya Rei changed the subject, "But Spice is very popular in the organization, especially among the female members."
In this world, he has been in the organization base with Hiro since he can remember, and has never met Elena Miyano.
Thinking of this, Furuya Rei frowned slightly. The problem was that there was too much uncertainty about Miyano Akemi. What if she didn't want to help them after she recovered her memory?
Let's leave this matter to "female friends" to worry about first, so that someone doesn't have to stick to Xiaoyou all day long.
He calmly threw a task to a colleague who was not present, and then Quyu Rei curled his lips, waiting for the young man's next question.
Having made up his mind to tell Hagiwara Kenji about Shirley, Hasegawa Yu hesitated again.
After a while, he said, "Brother Ling, what kind of topics do you think Senior Zhufu would like to talk about?"
Jianggu Ling: "...?"
Fūya Rei's smile froze, and he asked tentatively, "For example?"
Hasegawa Yu cited several instances in the fourth episode where Morobushi Kagemitsu had replied to his posts as examples, "It's possible that Morobushi-senpai was traveling a lot and didn't have time to reply to me."
Fūya Rei folded his hands to cover half of his face, lost in thought.
What’s going on? In the previous rounds, Hiro and Xiaoyou were... “online dating”?
So how did Hiro turn a good "online love" into imprisonment?
Follow the network cable to kill the AI and then crawl over to catch people?!
"I think..." Furuya Ling hesitated, "It's hard to say what the topic is."
This feeling of teaching the person you like to "conquer" your childhood sweetheart is really weird!
Resisting the urge to cover his face, the blond-haired, dark-skinned man took a deep breath and said, "Depending on my mood, the topics I want to talk about that day will also change.
But Xiaoyou just needs to play according to his heart and not worry too much about it."
Hasegawa Yu nodded, not quite understanding.
Senior Zhu Fu also said something like "it depends on my mood", and I thought he was just trying to deal with him.
"I understand." Hasegawa Yu clenched his fist.
He is now an experienced person and will definitely be able to chat with Senior Zhufu again!
Fūya Rei closed his eyes with mixed feelings.
At least Hiro was born in his childhood. If it was the curly-haired bastard, he would have unplugged the network cable the first second.
"Thank you, Zero. I'm fine now."
After figuring out most of the things, Hasegawa Yu was in a good mood. "I'll ask you about the rest after I recover from my injury~"
I'll go buy some wine in the next two days!
Jianggu Ling: "...Yeah."
So why do we have to wait until the injury heals?
Since the congressman had to go to work on time, the two of them finished chatting about these things and had breakfast, and then the blond man went out.
"Brother Ling, take care~"
Hasegawa Yu took out his cell phone and started sending messages to Morobushi Jingguang using one finger.
But he still didn't understand how he had touched the point that made his senior want to imprison him.
“…”
After thinking about it to no avail, Hasegawa Yu had no choice but to put this question aside.
Anyway, Brother Yaner and the others have recovered their memories, so he is not afraid of it happening again!
Somewhere in Beika Town, Morofushi Keimitsu, who had just gotten up, suddenly found his phone vibrating wildly.
Thinking the tissue had exploded, he picked it up and took a look.
In just a few minutes, 20+ bright red unread messages appeared in the chat box.
Zhu Fujing's eyelids were half closed. He did not click to check the message. Instead, he took a screenshot of the current interface and sent it to his childhood friend, along with a question mark.
The dialog box marked as [Zero] will be replied immediately.
【Zero: Yellow Bean Smile.jpg】
Zhu Fujingguang:? ?
Inside the villa, not long after Fūya Rei left, the other two also appeared in the living room.
"You're up so early, Yuu-chan."
Kenji Hagiwara glanced at the wall clock: seven fifteen.
When they were in Kabukicho, since they lived in different houses, Hasegawa Yu did not dare to go out for a morning run in Kabukicho where the identities of people were mixed up, which resulted in Hagiwara Kenji never knowing his exact schedule.
"You woke up at six o'clock." Hasegawa Yu shook his head, "Early to bed and early to rise is good for your health, Brother Kenji~"
"Breakfast is on the table. Brother Ling has gone out to work."
"Wow." Matsuda Jinpei glanced casually at the tables. "That blond bastard isn't bad."
In case he forgot, Hasegawa Yu quickly told the half-long-haired man about Shirley and Miyano Akemi.
Without asking the young man where he got the news, Hagiwara Kenji remained calm and gritted his teeth, "No problem, Yu-chan, leave Miyano Akemi to me~"
Xiaojianggu!
On the side, Matsuda Jinpei, who was happy to watch the fun, couldn't help but ask what he had been thinking about all night, "What does black pine bread mean?"
After a good sleep, Hasegawa Yu, who didn't hold any grudges at all, opened his eyes wide and said, "We don't have black pine bread, but we do have sandwiches. Come on, eat them, brother Jinping."
As he spoke, he tried to gesture in the direction of the table with his chin.
Matsuda Jinpei snorted lightly, without commenting, still staring at him.
"Is it black truffle bread?" Hasegawa Yu touched his nose.
If there is black meat floss, it can also be called black pine!
Faced with the young man's question, which he himself was not sure about, Matsuda Jinpei took a bite of the sandwich and reluctantly let him go.
Skipping the small issue about bread, after breakfast, Kenji Hagiwara also went out to work.
The most leisurely one, Jinpei Matsuda, stayed until after lunch.
Finally, he was the only fish left in the villa, and Hasegawa Yu was eager to make a move. "Noah, order takeout and order a bottle of wine online!"
Today is a pampering day, and I hadn’t planned on eating, but I kept talking about bread, and it seems I’ve started to crave it again.
[What kind would you like to order, Xiaoyou?]
The AI listed the bread menu on the merman's phone, and hesitantly placed an order for a bottle of Bourbon wine according to his instructions.
There’s nothing wrong with drinking, but why does it have to be this kind?
Hasegawa Yu was in a dilemma, "Hmm..."
The bread delivery arrived at the villa at the same time as a certain congressman who was rarely willing to leave work on time.
Hearing the noise coming from the door, Hasegawa Yuu just curled up comfortably on the sofa. Before he could open the packaging bag, he shouted, "!"
As soon as he entered the door, Fūya Lingyi looked up and saw the orange-haired young man's guilty expression that he couldn't hide.
He surveyed the living room silently.
Most of it was the same as when I left home in the morning... Good, at least the young couple knew how to put away the dishes and clean up.
There is a small piece of untorn receipt on the coffee table, for takeout?
The pillows behind Xiaoyou are stacked in an unreasonable way. Is there something hidden underneath?
After getting the answer, Fūya Ling couldn't help but think, is he serious? He didn't say that ordering takeout is not allowed in the villa.
"What did Xiaoyou hide from me?"
The blond and dark-skinned man's eyes turned slightly, and he walked to the sofa and stretched out his hand to the young man, "Take it out, I saw it all."
Hasegawa Yu looked at him, then at the hand, and took out a box of black rice bread with soy milk filling from behind and put it on the hand.
It’s just bread, Xiaoyou is too obedient.
Is it that his agent in his original world doesn't allow him to eat?
As he thought about it, Furuya Ling put the bread aside and continued to reach out to the young man, "Hmm?"
Then Hasegawa Yu took out a box of long caterpillar ice cream sandwich bread from behind him, which was grape flavored.
Ice cream filling...it's not that it's not edible, the villa has heating anyway.
Fūya Rei pretended to be expressionless and put it together with the black rice bread, then reached out his hand.
Thinking of the remaining box of bread behind him, Hasegawa Yu stared at the wheat-colored hand, stopped moving, and stopped taking it out.
Seeing that the man didn't stop, after a few seconds, he put his chin on the palm of his hand in front of his eyes, tilted his head, rubbed it, and blinked.
“!!”
The palm of his hand felt the soft touch of the young man's cheek, and Fūya Rei, who was caught off guard by this wave of coquettish attacks, froze in place.
No, it’s okay not to take it. He is not some feudal patriarch.
"cough."
Fūya Rei took the opportunity to pinch the young man's cheek, then slowly withdrew his hand, "I'm not stopping Xiaoyou from eating, but it can't affect dinner."
"Okay~" Hasegawa Yu quickly agreed, then paused, "Brother Ling, can I eat anything?"
"Just eat what you like, Xiaoyou." Fūya Ling turned away and twisted his fingers together at his side. "I'm going back to my room to change clothes."
After watching the blond senior disappear around the corner in the blink of an eye, Hasegawa Yu took out the remaining box of bread and opened the package with one hand, "Hurry and eat it first."
Destroy the evidence!
When Fūya Rei came out after changing into his home clothes, he saw the orange-haired young man struggling with a box of...dirty buns.
In order not to make himself look too messy while eating, the young man took small bites, but he also wanted to finish it quickly, so his cheeks bulged as he ate, and he was very serious and cautious.
Well... judging from his expression, he seemed to enjoy the taste of the bread.
"..." Fūya Ling pretended not to notice the dirty bag in his hand and sneaked into the kitchen silently.
After arriving at the empty kitchen, the blond, dark-skinned man put his hands on the edge of the counter and tried to hold back, but he finally couldn't help but cover his face.
Xiaoyou is really...Fōtani Rei felt his cheeks getting hot and he didn't know how to comment on it.
How about making a cream-filled sandwich bread for dessert today?
Xiaoyou's reaction will definitely be very cute...it seems a little bad.
Fūya Rei reflected on himself and thought, why not change it to a cream puff with filling, which is also good.
The kind that bursts with filling when you bite it lightly.
