"Why is Brother Guang here?"

While speaking, Hasegawa Yu moved his position and tried to block the driver's window behind him.

Zhu Fujingguang said calmly, "Because I also live in this neighborhood."

"Oh, hahaha." Hasegawa Yu laughed dryly, his voice getting smaller and smaller under the man's gaze which was as calm as his voice.

Woo.

The atmosphere between the two at the moment was like that of a concerned owner who had just told the beautiful puppy at home not to go with strangers, and the next second, the puppy did not go with the stranger, but directly abducted the stranger back.

Not only that, he also tried to deceive his master by saying that he had done nothing.

“…”×2

Three long, unbearable seconds of silence passed before Hasegawa Yu, unable to bear it any longer, spoke up. "Didn't Guang-ge say he had work to do?"

Zhu Fujingguang, who had just said a few days ago, "I'm very busy and can't always take care of you," and had just returned from a mission site check, said calmly:

"Don't worry, I'm taking a break today, so I have plenty of time."

"I see." Hasegawa Yuu said dryly, "Brother Guang, I want to tell you something."

Zhu Fujingguang: "Yeah."

Although it is not clear whether Jingguang has seen Xiuyi, Xiuyi is wearing a disguise, and hiding himself would make people more suspicious.

You should be generous!

After a fierce ideological struggle, the forthright Hasegawa Yu made up his mind and said, "I met someone when I went out today."

Zhu Fujingguang always felt that there was something strange: "..."

What kind of feudal patriarch requires children to report to the authorities before making any friends?

Shaking off the impression of a feudal patriarch, Zhu Fujingguang said gently, "Is it the one in the car?"

"Yes." Hasegawa Yu nodded, "Brother Guang, wait a moment. I'll ask him to come down."

After saying that, he quickly turned around, opened the car door, leaned over, and whispered, "Mr. Okiya, get out of the car. Please remember not to use random words."

Shuichi Akai raised his eyebrows, closed his mouth which was about to open, and got out of the car with his long legs.

After the man stood up, Hasegawa Yu nervously introduced the two sides, "Brother Guang, this is Okiya Subaru, a friend I just met."

"Mr. Okiya, this is Hikaru Midorikawa, the older brother of my neighbor who lives downstairs from me."

Akai Shuichi extended his hand in a friendly manner, "Hello."

Feeling even more subtle, Zhu Fujingguang held his hand and said, "...Hello."

Their eyes met in mid-air.

The next second, the clasped hands loosened at the same time.

Hasegawa Yu looked around, trying to end this conversation as quickly as possible, "Then I..."

Morobushi Kagemitsu happened to speak up, "Is Mr. Okiya Japanese?"

Hasegawa Yuu fell silent again, and cast a nervous look at the person being questioned.

On the way back, he only briefly mentioned the information about his disguise to Brother Xiuyi.

Akai Shuichi nodded, "Of course."

Zhu Fujingguang: "How enthusiastic! You send someone home after meeting them for the first time."

Shuichi Akai: "In a foreign country, this is what we should do as compatriots."

Seeing this, Hasegawa Yuu on the side shrank his neck. Why, why do the smiles of Jingguang and Shuichi brothers seem a bit weird?

"Thank you, Mr. Okiya, for bringing Tobias back." Zhu Fushiguri's lips curved slightly, "He has caused you trouble."

Akai Shuichi pushed up his glasses and said, "It's okay. Tobias is very cute. I'm happy to do this for him."

Hasegawa Yu: “!”

Hasegawa Yu rushed between the two and interrupted them before a new round of conversation began, "Mr. Okiya, thank you for taking me back. I won't delay your future business. Goodbye!"

Shuichi Akai looked at the young man who winked at him quickly, and said nothing.

Without caring about his reaction, Hasegawa Yu turned his body and said to another person, "Brother Guang is usually so busy with work. It's rare for him to have some free time today. Go back and have a good rest."

Zhu Fushiki Jingguang withdrew his gaze from secretly observing Akai Shuichi, "Tobias, are you really not going to invite Mr. Okiya upstairs for a cup of tea?"

"Need not."

Hasegawa Yu decisively asked a second later, like a patch, "...right, Mr. Okiya?"

"Indeed." Akai Shuichi said calmly, "I have something else to do today. It won't be too late to visit next time."

Hasegawa Yu breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately Brother Shuichi didn't use random words anymore.

Morifushi Kagemitsu: "In that case, next time I have the chance, I will help Tobias entertain Mr. Okiya."

Akai Shuichi: "Oh? I'm looking forward to it."

The Chevrolet C-1500 gradually disappeared at the entrance of the community.

After seeing off Shuichi Akai, Hasegawa Yu finally put his mind at ease after separating the two.

"Tobias' attitude towards Mr. Okiya is also unusual." Zhu Fujingguang said coldly.

"It's... a normal friendship." Hasegawa Yu wanted to skip this point, "Let's go home quickly, Guang brother!"

Zhu Fu Jingguang didn't move and just looked at him intently.

"(〃°ω°〃)" Hasegawa Yu blinked his beautiful big eyes hard, trying to prove his innocence.

Zhu Fujingguang paused, recalling the license plate number he had just memorized, and stopped clinging to a man who appeared out of nowhere, "Let's go."

The meeting ended without any major incidents.

After parting with Morofushi Kagemitsu on his floor, Hasegawa Yu returned to his apartment, threw himself onto the sofa, and cleared his mind.

It’s really difficult for the fish!

It turns out that concealment and deception are not advisable, and this is the consequence!

[Xiaoyou, you have a bug on you. It was planted by Akai Shuichi when you put him back in the car.]

"!" Hasegawa Yu stood up again and began to feel around on his body.

No wonder there are always strange little noises in my ears. I haven’t encountered a bug in a long time and almost forgot that it makes such sounds.

After crushing the eavesdropping device on the inside of his clothes, Hasegawa Yu lay back on the sofa and closed his eyes peacefully.

Quietly wait for the mermaid to calm down and Noah's Ark to report the follow-up progress.

Kudo Shinichi didn't show any unusual behavior after returning. It's possible that he assumed I was secretly observing and deliberately acted out of place to lower our vigilance.

Unlike the fourth act, since Ran Maoli has not recovered her memory in this act, according to the content of Shinichi's D-09 and F-05 filing plans in the fourth act, Xiaoyou, we can't trust him too much. 】

Hasegawa Yu showed his mosquito-repellent eyes.

Oh, did you forget to collect your mind after emptying it?

[Since Shuichi Akai is unaware of my existence, the authenticity of his private reaction can be used as a reference.

However, based on the contents of Akai's A-08 and E-11 backup plans in the fourth episode, his micro-expressions are not right, and he might be planning something bad.

A wisp of smoke, seemingly due to excessive CPU loading, appeared on Hasegawa Yu's head.

Where's the fish's brain? My head itches. Fish need a brain!

"Shinichi and Shuichi didn't even believe the message I wrote to myself?" Hasegawa Yu was in disbelief.

If it were him, he would definitely believe it without hesitation!

How could I lie to myself!

[Normal.] Noah's Ark comforts the mermaids. [Even if there's only a 1% chance the message is fake, they'll still doubt it to the end.]

[Regarding Shinichi, according to the A-01 plan, we suggest that we first restore Miss Lan's memory. This is the fastest way to make Shinichi trust us.]

[However, according to the supplementary regulations of A-01-01, Shinichi in Act 4 does not approve of Yuu getting close to Miss Ran. Even if she does, she must not let Kudo Shinichi know.]

Unfortunately this is impossible.

"Will Shinichi be jealous?" Hasegawa Yu guessed, "Shinichi was already being clingy to Miss Ran in the fourth episode."

My eyes never left Miss Lan~

Oh, they are indeed a high school couple.

【……】

Seeing the mermaid holding her face and sighing, Noah's Ark secretly brought up a side question: "Has anyone else ever looked at Xiaoyou with the same look?"

"Huh?" Hasegawa Yuu reacted instinctively, "Who? My fan?"

【……】

Hasegawa Yu emphasized, "Idols absolutely cannot respond to such gazes alone!"

【knew.】

Noah's Ark couldn't tell whether the mermaids had noticed the thoughts of certain people. [Xiaoyou wanted to treat everyone equally.]

Hasegawa Yu: “?”

Hasegawa Yu moved his body, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

【Isn’t that right?】

Hasegawa Yu was lost in thought, although... but... this adjective felt strange.

Noah has learned bad things!

【In summary, Shinichi, we should just get along normally for now. 】

Noah's Ark naturally steered the conversation back to business. "As for Akai Shuichi, due to Xiaoyou's acting, some of the plan details won't be shared with you. I'll need to notify you immediately, and Xiaoyou will then take action on the spot."

"Okay." Hasegawa Yu couldn't help but feel curious, "Did Shinichi and Shuichi-san keep a lot of backup plans for the fourth episode?"

【All filing plans starting with AZ are available. 】

Hasegawa Yu felt a little dizzy when he heard about the Alphabet Plan.

The three seniors who were responsible for his post-processing work also seemed to have outlined a plan in this way.

Without mentioning the seniors, Shinichi and Shuichi actually targeted themselves like this!

Hasegawa Yuu slumped over the table, muttering, "Magic against magic, and the alphabet against the alphabet!"

[According to Akai's Z-01 plan in Act 4, assuming that Xiaoyou changes his mind temporarily or the situation changes drastically compared to Act 4 for some reason, he does not recommend that Xiaoyou let people in the organization approach him rashly.

Otherwise, even with the message from the fourth-generation Akai, Shuichi Akai, who hasn't recovered his memory, will only be more vigilant. 】

Hasegawa Yu muttered casually, his eyes widening, "Brother Shuichi even considered this."

"Okay." He sat up and clenched his fists. "I'll try my best!"

The hard-working Hasegawa Yu went to see Akai Shuichi again the next day.

"Is Scotland in the same situation as me?"

As soon as they met, Shuichi Akai asked this question without any warning.

"……Yes."

Knowing he couldn't hide this, Hasegawa Yu simply agreed, "But he also has no memories. Mr. Akai, don't try to get any information out of him."

Brother Jingguang didn't even leave a message to himself.

Upon hearing this, Akai Shuichi seemed to be thinking about something.

"Why is Scotland living downstairs from the young master?"

"That's the organization's safe house."

Knowing that the more he spoke, the more he exposed himself, Hasegawa Yu sat up straight and only answered with this one sentence.

"Does Scotland know the young master's true identity?"

Expression management, cool style, 2D acting!

Hasegawa Yu tried hard to keep a straight face and said nothing.

The young man in disguise didn't change his expression at all, clearly refusing to answer.

"Um……"

Seeing this, Akai Shuichi touched his chin and changed the question, "Scotland and Tobias have a good relationship? Will he come to see you often?"

"He's been busy organizing missions lately." Hasegawa Yu said honestly, "Yesterday's incident must have been an accident."

"I see."

Akai Shuichi said nothing more, "Which apartment does the young master live in? As your protector, I must know the detailed address."

"Building 7, Room 701." Hasegawa Yu looked around.

A little hairy on the back.

There can't be ghosts in a busy commercial street.

"Are there enemies nearby?" Akai Shuichi asked, looking around calmly.

How come he didn't notice?

"No."

Hasegawa Yu turned back and said, "I will prepare a few more disguise masks for Mr. Akai. Please be sure to wear them when you come to see me next time!"

"No problem." Akai Shuichi chuckled and suddenly said, "The disguise mask is really a good thing."

Hasegawa Yu: “???”

"nothing."

Akai Hideya lowered his eyelids halfway, suppressing the expression in his green eyes, "Where are you going next, young master? I can't just not work after receiving the money."

[He returned to the apartment, saying he was going back to retrieve something he had left behind.]

"Let's go back to the apartment first." Hasegawa Yu immediately repeated the AI's words, "There's something I forgot to bring."

Akai Shuichi secretly looked at the young man with delicate skin and obviously little professional training, and agreed, "Okay."

So just like yesterday, Hasegawa Yu disguised him, and the two of them drove back to the apartment complex together in a Chevrolet.

Hasegawa Yu opened the door in front and was still thinking about what to get to get through when the artificial intelligence spoke again.

[Xiaoyou, squat down immediately after entering the room, turn on the ring mechanism, take the electric baton, and attack Akai Shuichi.]

"!" Hasegawa Yu didn't ask why, he opened the door, entered the room, and squatted down immediately.

Behind him, a sharp knife-handed blow brushed past the top of his head, and the wind it created caused a few strands of hair on the back of his head to rise up.

“!!”

Hasegawa Yu, who had taken the stun gun while squatting, quickly thrust it upwards, turning the current to the maximum, and directly hit Akai Shuichi's hand, which had not yet been retracted.

“Sizzle——”

A strong flash of electric fire exploded in the air, and a slight smell of burning flesh spread. Hasegawa Yu turned around, clenched his fist, and swung it towards Akai Shuichi.

The special anesthetic needle on the ring penetrates the thin fabric, sinks into the skin, and takes effect immediately.

Akai Shuichi wanted to knock someone out with his knife, but his attack unexpectedly missed, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He was about to change the direction of his attack, but was hit by the electric current, which was almost unbearable for the human body, and his movements slowed down a lot. But before he could hold on, he was hit by the anesthetic needle again.

After this unexpected series of moves, Akai Shuichi's body shook, and he finally couldn't hold on and fell down, "You..."

His heart was pounding, and Hasegawa Yu, who had not yet recovered from his shock, hurried forward to catch him.

"It's so heavy." Hasegawa Yu staggered back a few steps and leaned the person against the wall at the entrance.

He clenched the stun gun and ring made by Matsuda Jinpei in his hands, still in shock, "What's going on?"

Mr. Akai wants to attack him?

[Add another stun gun, then find some rope to tie up Akai Shuichi. I'll explain this to Xiaoyou later.]

Noah's Ark snorted coldly, [Akai Shuichi really knows himself. 】

After hearing what the artificial intelligence said, Hasegawa Yu looked at the stun gun in his hand hesitantly. Did he really want to use it to finish off the enemy?

Mr. Akai won't be burnt to a crisp, right?

The electric spark was so bright just now that he was afraid that his hair would catch fire too!

[Didn't Granvitt say that electric shock wouldn't kill people?] Noah's Ark told the mermaid to go ahead and do the electric shock. [Xiaoyou, go ahead.]

After struggling for a moment, Hasegawa Yu cautiously gave him another shockwave, "Excuse me, Mr. Akai."

“Sizzle——”

Ah, the smell of burning human flesh is more obvious.

Hasegawa Yu couldn't help but stretch out his hand to check his breathing.

Shuichi Akai's breathing was slow and he was still alive.

After breathing, Hasegawa Yu's tense body relaxed, and then he stood up to look for ropes and other restraint tools.

[Xiaoyou, tie him up as I tell you to, using all your strength. Also, take away any weapons from these areas of Akai Shuichi's body.] Noah's Ark directed the mermaid's actions in an orderly manner.

After everything was done, Hasegawa Yu looked at Akai Shuichi who was tied up on the ground, then looked at the small pile of equipment he had looted from the other party at his feet, and swallowed his saliva.

"Is this... also part of Brother Xiuyi's plan?"

【Yes.】

Noah's Ark affirmed the mermaid's intentions. [A-02: Plan A-02: Rather than searching for clues on your own, it's better to just kidnap Xiaoyou and interrogate her.]

Judging from the information Xiaoyou presented to Akai Shuichi, you definitely won't survive the first round of interrogation, so you will definitely get all the valid information he wants from Xiaoyou.

The scales on Hasegawa Yu's body were about to explode, "!!!"

[The binding method and the location to hide the equipment were provided by the fourth-level Akai. Don't worry, Xiaoyou, once Akai Shuichi wakes up, he won't be able to break free in a short time.]

[A-02-01 Supplementary Regulations: In the fourth round, Akai lets Xiaoyou finish off any enemies he wants, and says that his body is very durable and he won't die easily.]

Hasegawa Yuu was stunned.

Brother Xiuyi is really cruel to himself.

[After Akai Shuichi wakes up, we'll see his reaction and make new plans.]

Hasegawa Yuu was still frightened, "Oh."

“Dongdong——”

"Topia?" Zhu Fujingguang's voice sounded outside the door. "I heard some noise downstairs. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine!" Hasegawa Yu answered unconsciously raising his voice.

He glanced at the man standing at the entrance and turned around anxiously.

Time machine, is there a time machine? He urgently needs Jingguang's alphabet plan!

"...You're right at the door?" Zhu Fujingguang paused for a moment, his voice unrecognizable as emotion. "Open the door."

I don't think Scotland can hide this.

Hasegawa Yu lowered his head. Yes, it was impossible for him not to open the door.

After preparing himself mentally, Hasegawa slowly opened the door a crack, "Hi~ Guang-ge."

The smell of burning in the air at the entrance had not yet dissipated. Zhu Fu Jingguang narrowed his eyes and casually glanced at the legs of the person lying on the ground, which were not blocked by the young man's body and were obviously very problematic.

A few seconds later, the black-haired, phoenix-eyed man spoke calmly, as if chatting casually, "I've learned a little about Zero's post-disaster plan."

"I can help and make sure the police don't find us."

Huh? Does this mean we're complicit?

Wait, wait! Hasegawa Yu's scalp was tingling. Jingguang's post-mortem work wouldn't include the option of dismemberment.
