Volume 1 Beginning Chapter 85: Nesting Dolls Are Prohibited Here
Okay, we have the information.
After Nan Ling left Silver Key, he sent an email to Melo and DK.
Let them do the rest and just watch the show from the side.
Anyway, they can't recognize themselves after they have disguised themselves.
However , to Nan Ling's surprise, the information provided by Silver Key was more complete than he had imagined.
...is worth his asking price.
Without exposing themselves, the organization simply followed the clues and found Bailing's body, while Vanilla was nowhere to be found.
Therefore, the organization concluded that the information was most likely in the hands of the missing Vanilla.
And according to Silver Spoon... Vanilla is now hiding in this 'hell'.
How bold.
"It's like hiding a tree in the forest." Silver Spoon said with a smile at that time.
The best place to hide a tree is in a forest, and the best is in a crowd.
Nan Ling understood, but this time it wasn't that simple.
He muttered.
"——A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind."
…
"Tsk, all the work before was in vain." Mello stared at the email sent by Nan Ling and smacked his lips in dissatisfaction.
She was wearing revealing clothes like a bar girl, and her seductive figure attracted the attention of countless men.
Unfortunately, even though she betrayed a little bit of her sexuality, she still couldn't find any information about Vanilla.
Chat's actions were beyond her expectations. He found the clue so quickly.
Isn't it said that he is not good at intelligence gathering?
Gin specifically told me this, and told me not to rely too much on Chat.
...Why do I feel like I'm a burden this time?
Never mind, as long as the mission is completed.
Melo stood up from a booth in a corner, ignoring the drunken men around him, and walked straight in a certain direction.
"This place is really hard to find." Mello followed the direction Nan Ling gave him in the email, walked around a group of men and women hugging each other, crossed the dance floor, and came to a bar that was not too conspicuous.
It's obviously quieter here than other places - but that's only relatively speaking.
There were many people lying on the sofas or in the booths, and there were also people drinking one drink after another next to the bar.
However, in this seemingly ordinary chaos, Mello was still keenly aware of something wrong.
Although a few people seemed to be drunk and fell on the sofa, if you pay more attention to them, you can see that there is no drunkenness in their eyes that open from time to time. The people drinking at the bar are also staring at the reflection of the wine glass to observe the surroundings.
Interesting, looks like I found the right place.
So, who is Vanilla?
Before this incident, Vanilla was just an unknown newcomer, a small-time figure. How could anyone notice a mere bounty hunter's assistant?
Now everyone is suffering because——
——No one knows what Vanilla looks like. There is almost no information about him.
Although there are all kinds of news flying around, some true and some false, according to the organization's intelligence, the only reliable news is that the two pieces of news are about men and young people.
But what kind of clue is this? There are more men than women here, and a lot of them are young, so it's basically useless.
Before Mello had time to take a closer look, he noticed a familiar person sitting next to the bar.
It’s Yuki… It seems he also received Chat’s email.
After Melo exchanged glances with DK, he pretended to be a stranger and ignored him.
So, it was Chat who asked us to come here...Where's Chat?
…
Nan Ling had arrived here a long time ago, and he was sitting here before Mello came over.
However, something unexpected happened, causing him to not notice Mello who walked in and DK who followed.
Nan Ling was squinting at an ordinary seat.
Sitting there was a woman with an ordinary appearance, but she was also wearing the very slim-fitting clothes that were common here. She was holding a wine glass and talking to a man.
Looks normal?
Nan Ling looked at the woman's appearance again.
There’s no doubt about it. Even though she was wearing makeup, Nan Ling would recognize her.
So who can tell him why this person——
——Why is Shiragawa's Mizukami Misato here? !
Nan Ling felt his eyebrows twitching.
He still remembered the last time he brought her back from Kyoto. Thanks to her, it was not a memory worth recalling.
Now this place has been targeted by the winery - although it was he who provided the information, he did not expect that Bai Ya would also get involved.
If he knew that Zhu Fu Jingguang also had his own plans here, how could he hand over the information to the organization.
He wouldn't even go looking for intelligence.
However, although it was unexpected, it is actually reasonable when you think about it.
The purpose of establishing Bai Ya was to deal with the winery. This time the incident has become so big that Zhu Fu Jingguang will definitely come and get a piece of the pie.
The bottom line is…
"It's still my mistake that I didn't think of this."
Oh, I'll apologize to Jingguang later.
Now the question is…
He had no idea what role Bai Ya played here, so much so that he didn't even know what to do for a moment.
Nan Ling looked at Melo who was sitting on a sofa, then looked at DK who was sitting at the bar, and rubbed his brows in distress.
It would be fine if DK was the only one there, but it would be a little troublesome if Mello was there too.
No matter what, let’s find a way to notify Misato Mizukami to evacuate first.
The winery is already here, and Misato Mizukami will be in danger if she doesn't leave now.
But she was not sitting there alone, and no one knew who the man she was chatting with was.
Maybe he is also Bai Ya’s man?
Nan Ling tilted his head.
But if it's not the case, I can't just go over and tell her "get out of here" or something like that.
Fortunately...
The disguise he used today, 'Seven', happened to be the same face he used on the day he rescued her.
As an intelligence officer, you should be able to remember me, right?
…
Misato Mizukami is chatting with Vanilla.
Of course, Vanilla didn't know Misato Mizukami's identity, nor did she know that the plain-looking woman opposite her already knew her identity.
Misato Mizukami knew that Vanilla didn't know that she already knew his identity.
If Nan Ling were to face this situation, he would only want to say:
Nesting dolls are prohibited here.
Anyway, the two people, each with their own thoughts, just talked .
"Miko...Miko?" Vanilla called softly.
"Okamoto-kun..." Misato Mizukami came back to her senses, raised the glass in her hand, and said in a drunken tone, "Cheers——"
"Ah, cheers." In comparison, Vanilla looked much more sober.
After all, I am still being watched...
Misato Mizukami laughed softly twice.
Stupid guy. Didn't know he was a target.
"What are you laughing at, Miko?"
"Well... nothing, I just thought of something interesting...." Misato Mizukami still maintained her lazy look.
However, the words that came out gradually became fragmented and scattered as the figure he saw appeared in his eyes.
That’s—the boss’ friend?
