Volume 1 Beginning Chapter 40 Nanyun Ayako, please give me your advice
"My name is……"
Nan Ling got stuck again when introducing himself.
Before he uttered his own name, he almost remembered a fact.
He seems to be wearing women's clothes now.
Ah this.
This is a bit embarrassing.
So, should I tell you my name?
Nan Ling didn't hesitate for long.
"My name is... Nanyun Ayako. Please give me your guidance, Miss Koizumi."
Phew… I made it up. It wasn’t easy.
Nan Ling learned from the lesson of not being able to make up a name in front of Amuro Toru last time, and later prepared a few fake names, and at the same time practiced his ability to make up names on the spot.
But this is the first time I’ve made up a female name.
It’s all Vermouth’s fault.
Nan Ling once again reaffirmed his belief that he must never provoke Vermouth in the future.
"What a cute name," said Koizumi Hongzi.
"Ah...thank you for the compliment." Nan Ling replied, "It looks like today's performance is over...so beautiful witch lady, we'll see you again if we're lucky."
Nan Ling felt like he would be embarrassed to death if he stayed any longer.
"Well...bye then."
Koizumi Hongzi looked at Nan Ling's departing back thoughtfully.
"Miss? What happened to that man?"
"Although there seems to be nothing wrong with him, I always feel that he is very special..." Koizumi Hongzi said, touching her chin.
"...I don't have any problem with your orientation, but as a witch it's better not to fall in love with someone... Ouch!"
"What are you talking about?" Hongzi glared at her butler, "I just feel that there is something wrong with this person... but I can't really tell what's wrong..."
"Why don't we go back and do a divination?"
"It's a pity that I didn't get her hair or personal belongings. If I only knew her name, the accuracy would drop significantly."
Hongzi thought about it.
"But there's nothing we can do now, so we might as well do a divination."
Koizumi Hongzi went straight back to her residence and went straight into her magic laboratory.
"Owl's eye...fig leaf...stir three times clockwise. Snake's tail, eagle's feather, and a little dust of knowledge..."
“…Her name is Nanyun Ayako. Deity who reveals the truth, please show me her true self!”
If Nan Ling were here, he would definitely be embarrassed to death by this middle school atmosphere again.
"Well, this result..."
Koizumi Hongzi stood in front of a huge crucible. The things in the pot emitted a green light and looked very bad.
"I can't predict anything? This is a strange situation. As expected, if I only know the name and gender, the result will definitely be unclear."
Because her name and gender were all fake, Koizumi Akako obtained almost no information.
"But she doesn't seem to be a suspicious person... She looks like a normal girl."
At this moment, Nan Ling felt a strange feeling.
This feeling as if someone is spying on him... Could it be that Koizumi Akako is fortune-telling for him?
I hope she doesn't predict anything...
Ordinary girl Nan Ling thought distressedly as she stood in front of several tied-up people.
Completely ignoring the "woooo" sounds that were constantly being made by those people.
"...But coming to think of it, why did you guys follow me here?" Nan Ling looked helplessly at Antoine and DK who were standing beside him.
"I learned Japanese just for you!" Antoine said happily, "I think I'll have some fun fighting with you!"
What a simple reason.
I don’t know how he is so energetic every day.
"What about you? Don't tell me you are the same." Nan Ling turned to DK who was standing quietly beside him.
"Because I always find my supervisor annoying," he said succinctly.
"Okay, okay... I heard you all have code names?"
"My code name is Kirsch! What do you think? I think it's a pretty cool name. But cherry sounds a little too cute..."
“Belvedere.”
"Two official members with code names followed me... You really are not afraid of being hated by Jundu."
Cointreau is the head of the entire Western European branch and a very decisive German man.
"You're here, boss." Antoine smiled heartlessly at Nan Ling.
"Do you think I want to offend Jundu?" Nan Ling said helplessly, "Forget it, forget it. I'm here now. If Jundu asks, I'll help you."
Although he now nominally belongs to the research group, due to his special identity and excellent abilities, he can be considered to be free to act.
Of course, this is just a nice way of saying it. In fact, he is just free labor, and any group can call him away to help.
The actual situation...
Almost five years have passed since Nan Ling got the code name. If you count the time when he was experimented on, it’s eight years. Plus, he grew up in the organization since he was a child…
Newcomers don't dare to mess with him, and even old members with some seniority don't dare to order him around.
Basically, Gin would call him in and send him away at will, like a useful tool exclusively for .
He couldn't resist.
Gin's position in the organization was much higher than his, and he was also responsible for tracking down traitors. Nan Ling didn't want to anger him one day and get shot.
Theoretically, Vermouth could also use him, but she was still in the United States after all. And she acted alone most of the time.
So Nan Ling knew that being noticed by Gin would be no good.
"…Chat?"
Nan Ling came back to his senses from his distraction.
"What's wrong?"
“What to do with these people?”
Nan Ling looked at the people who were tied up and shivering at his feet.
"What kind of business are they in? Human trafficking?"
"And then there's the organ trade," Antoine added.
"Oh." Nan Ling turned around. "It's done. Clean it up."
…
It took some time to clean up everything, and by the time they returned to the safe house, the sky was already turning pale.
It was really a busy night. First, she put on makeup and went to watch Kidd's performance. Then suddenly, a mission came from the organization, so Nan Ling called on Antoine and DK, who had just arrived in Japan, to help.
When I came back after finishing it, it was almost dawn.
Staying up late, or even staying up all night, is really unfriendly to his biological clock.
Nan Ling sat down on the sofa and yawned sleepily.
DK had already gone to the kitchen to make breakfast.
Among the three of them, Antoine was the type who couldn't cook at all. Before Nan Ling met him, she had never imagined that someone would actually blow up the kitchen while cooking.
Nan Ling’s cooking skills are just average, okay but not particularly delicious.
But he also likes to eat delicious food.
So at that time he asked many people in the Western European branch if they knew any members who could cook delicious food.
That’s how I met DK.
Although it wasn't a very complicated dish, even Nan Ling had to admit that DK's dishes were good...
It’s really delicious.
Moreover, DK is a person who has a sense of ritual when cooking. If Nan Ling cooks for himself, he will definitely not pay attention to how the rice looks like, he focuses on the edibility.
But what DK made...
A piece of melted cheese is sandwiched in the middle of the soft toast. The toast is fried until golden brown on both sides, and the tempting aroma of cheese has already filled the house.
Next to the plate was a small pile of scrambled eggs, the golden color sprinkled with some black pepper, trembling with the aroma of the eggs themselves.
The bacon is fried over low heat until it shrinks into a small piece, and the marinated pork with fat and lean meat exudes an incomparable and tempting flavor.
"Breakfast is ready. Today's drink is hazelnut-flavored whole milk. Please enjoy."
"Wow...D! Every time at this moment I feel like I've fallen in love with you!" Antoine jumped over like a mad rabbit.
"What a good wife and mother, DK."
Nan Ling sighed and sat down at the table.
"It's just a hobby." DK sat next to Nan Ling. "Today's bacon is from the Italian brand Casa Modena. I wonder how it tastes?"
"Okay... mmmmm... as long as it tastes good, that's all," Antoine said slurringly.
Nan Ling gave a thumbs up to show his approval.
"Well, the cheese used today is ordinary American cheese. I will try to make other types of cheese for you in the future, but some of them may taste stronger..."
Nan Ling ate while listening silently to DK chattering in his ear.
Only at this time will the number of DKs increase, and become a lot.
So the only price to pay for enjoying the delicious food made by DK is to listen to his chatter.
However, Nan Ling and Antoine had already gotten used to and were able to block out this kind of noise. Because DK didn't really need anyone to continue the conversation, he just wanted to speak out, it didn't matter who he spoke to, and it didn't matter whether anyone listened or not.
Nan Ling felt that even if he put a dummy DK in front of him, he might still be able to talk endlessly.
