Ke Xue invades the three-dimensional

It has been two years since Akai Hideo saw Ketor again and again.

It doesn't mean anything to call it a "long-lost reunion".

Although he "fighted side by side" when he first met, this young man who showed a special aversion to murderers gave him a deep impression, and even had a little recognition in the process at that time... But after confirming that Ketor is about to After being a member of the crows, the recognition and fleeting regret quickly disappeared, replaced by deep fear.

As a short-term "companion", Ketor is trustworthy, and there is even a tacit understanding between him and him that can be understood without words.

But in the dark, this man who is familiar with the evil of human nature will become the most difficult enemy.

Akai Hideichi thought that after getting Ketor's recommendation to join the organization, he would inevitably deal with him from time to time, and he had to be careful all the time.

But the actual situation is that after that conversation in the izakaya accompanied by the fragrance of tea and plums, Ketor seemed to disappear from the side he could watch. After entering the organization, he met Instead, the opponent he met was a troublesome guy named Toru Amuro.

Toru Amuro was also extremely dangerous. During the mission to escort Dr. Alex, he could see that this friendly-looking blond young man was cold-blooded contrary to his appearance, and he was genuinely of the same kind as the doctor.

Akai Shuichi remembered the dead body of Midorikawa Hang.

Green River Hang's death is a pity, but it also sounded the alarm for Akai Hideichi. He was also unconsciously deceived by the doctor's appearance. The only luck is that he didn't reveal it carelessly like Green River Hang.

Since then, Akai Hideo's activities have become more and more meticulous. He has adapted well to the darkness immersed in a pool of blood, but now he behaves like crows, and he can't find any flaws.

The doctor did not cheat on the mission rewards. After reporting the mission results to Gin truthfully, he was promoted smoothly and got the code name "Rye".

Although Toru Amuro, who was robbed of the recommended spot by him, was a few months late, he also got the code name "Bourbon" not long after, and because of that incident, he targeted him very much.

Shuichi Akai has to spend a lot of energy on continuing to emerge, and occasionally has to take time to deal with Bourbon, who makes him stumble. I have to say he is a little helpless.

But fortunately, Gin doesn't know why he doesn't like Bourbon. If it weren't for the latter's eye-catching ability, he probably wouldn't survive a month under Gin's hands.

In the beginning, Shuichi Akai would go on a few missions with Bourbon unluckily. Later, Gin kicked Bourbon out of the original intelligence team and put him in charge of forming a brand new intelligence team. Bourbon was so busy that he finally No chance and busy snipers stare.

Akai Shuichi was able to start lurking steadily and smoothly. With his cold and straightforward personality, he can solve any task neatly. In the past two years, he has gradually gained Gin's appreciation.

Although Gin won't bring him by his side, but gradually leaning some fairly important tasks to him, he is one step closer to the core of the organization.

On rare occasions, after a mission that was no less cruel than a murderer, Akai Hideichi thought of Ketor inexplicably.

When he was Zhuxing University who didn't know what the black organization was, he chatted with young experts, and happened to have a similar topic.

At that time, he was the first to throw out the words. He said that some criminals with antisocial personality initially held an indifferent attitude towards life, but after the real hands were stained with blood, this indifference would gradually be stimulated and pleasure gradually erosion.

——If, when a normal person gets used to using a knife, a gun, or just lightly hooking his fingers, and let a life flow from his fingers, how long can he last before being twisted and corroded?

Although this question was asked with the idea of ​​testing, it is undeniable that there are some thoughts belonging to Shuichi Akai, like a kind of pre-preparation.

At that time, he thought that Ketor would extract a professional answer from the research data compiled from the files of many criminals from the perspective of the researcher, but the result was just the opposite.

Ketor's answer was, sorry, Mr. Zhu Xing, it is difficult for me to give you an accurate answer.

Ketor said that the category of "normal people" itself is extremely broad. A kind and upright person can be a normal person, and a cowardly and selfish person can also be a normal person. Heroic and fearless or treacherous and cunning are also common in ordinary people. Human nature, these characteristics are often mixed, kind people may be cowardly, cunning people may also be fearless, different people are in the environment you assume, and their tolerance and choices are different.

——It's just that I know who won't be corrupted.

——People who have a certain belief in their hearts that is better than life and death, people who can sacrifice for strangers who have nothing to do with them...It sounds like only a fool would do this, right?Haha, just kidding, I actually admire this kind of people. After all, I don’t have such a strong belief, and it’s hard to empathize with their unshakable determination.

——Then Zhu Xingjun.You, can you understand?

If it weren't for knowing the impossibility, Akai Shuichi would almost suspect that the smiling eyes of the red-haired young man had already seen through the flame he wanted to hide in his heart, and before the flames burned the entire pitch-black field, he had already teased questioned him.

——Will you be the one who generously goes into this darkness with some indestructible belief?

Akai Shuichi did not give a clear answer at the time.

The conversation between him and Ketor always seemed to come and go between riddles, as if the two knew each other's answers well, and never had the expectation of being frank and sincere.

Surprisingly, he seems to have really missed it. This kind of relationship is obviously false and mixed, but it is the time when the truth is revealed the most in the disguise of "Zhu Xing Da".

It's a pity that Ketor is a researcher and will not appear on the same stage as the sniper's "Rye". "Rye" doesn't even know Ketor's code name in the organization.

However, he also paid extra attention to TV and newspapers. More than a year ago, he could occasionally see Ketor's name on the news that a certain case was successfully solved, but then, that name suddenly disappeared, and he didn't know it belonged to the Feng organization The command hides itself, or another more direct possibility.

A little regret, insignificant.

Akai Hideichi used wonderful performances again and again to increase his weight in the organization and made great progress not long ago.

At that time, Gin suddenly entrusted him with an extremely important task. This task was said to involve a secret deal with a big political figure in the island country. With "Rye"'s current qualifications, he was not yet ready to take over such a task, but Gin How to think about it, no one can guess, Akai Shuichi naturally seized this opportunity and completed the task as well as before.

"It's not bad, Rye." Gin made an unprecedented comment afterwards, but did not mention the reward.

Although this man is unreasonable, he has never been stingy with his capable subordinates. It is a good thing for Akai Shuichi to rule out the slight possibility that he just forgot, the most likely result.

Gin doesn't give real rewards because he intends to reuse Rye who has performed well.The FBI ace hovering around the core of the black organization finally had the opportunity to step into it and get a glimpse of what's going on.

The next step is promotion, work hard, continue to improve, wait for the right time to set up a net to catch big fish, so as to destroy the nest of crows-this is indeed how it should be according to normal development.

Subsequently.

Akai Shuichi, who was waiting to face the deepest part of the abyss, suddenly received a sudden-long-term mission.

From now on, he will go to a secret location as an assistant to a researcher in charge of a secret project.

The duties of the assistant include but are not limited to being responsible for the daily needs of the researcher, supervising the researcher to complete three meals a day on a regular basis, exercising quantitatively every day, going to bed early and getting up early, if the researcher has any abnormal conditions, or conducts behaviors that are harmful to health without authorization, they must be stopped immediately and taken care of. Reporting must not cover up the facts or resort to fraud.

Akai, a potential cadre of a hybrid organization, a headshot sniper, Shuichi: "...?"

As the eldest brother, with a younger brother and a younger sister, it cannot be said that he has no experience in taking care of others, but it is true that he is not much.

But let Rye, a cold-blooded sniper used to doing the dirty work, work as a researcher's... assistant?

Accustomed to the wind and rain, there are very few things that can make Shuichi Akai feel inexplicable.

The last time I felt so outrageous was when I took over the weird escort mission and was asked to bring my own food to report.

Let's not mention the content of this task, which is completely equivalent to being a babysitter.

What surprised Akai Shuichi was that the task was directly issued to him by Gin, and the supplementary explanation of the task, for him who accepted the task, added a reminder that the number of words exceeded the limit, not him, but Bell. mod.

Hideo Akai knew Belmode's actual status early on. Although this mysterious woman hardly cares about anything, her status is almost the same as Gin's.

Because she is said to be the most beloved woman of "that gentleman".

If Rye had offended Gin by some unnoticed mistake, made Gin ignore his reward, and instead dismiss him with a long-term quest that didn't make sense...it wouldn't make sense.

Ordinary tasks do not need Belmode to give him instructions in advance. This task has been reviewed by the two top executives of the organization. No matter how you think about it, it cannot be ordinary-but it seems to be a trivial task that is eight thousand miles away from the core.

Very contradictory.

Akai Shuichi's first reaction was to suspect the subject of the mission. This researcher who was assigned a special mission suspected that his status was special and involved high-level officials.

But soon, from the supplementary explanation given by Belmode, Akai Hideichi noticed the abruptness.

Omitting the part that warned him to be careful, the mission requirements repeatedly emphasized the researcher's physical health. The regulations were so detailed that they were almost accurate to the amount of ingredients for each meal. If only "health" was the goal, this series of details It is simply harsh, and the coercion contained in it is obviously greater than the will of the person being cared for.

After some deep thinking, Akai Shuichi seemed to have heard what Belmode meant: his true position is more of a monitor who strictly controls the target than an "assistant" in life.

... If this is the case, choosing him as this ruthless watcher is a bit more reasonable.

However, after the heart is basically clear, the doubts continue.

He is not good at such trivial matters as cooking - did he make a decision without confirming the candidate, or did he do it on purpose or forgot?

The possibility of forgetting should still be small.

So, the possible deep meaning of it is...?

Before meeting the researcher whose name and identity were all a mystery, Akai Shuichi kept making guesses.

After half a month of preparation, the time to meet finally arrived.

Akai Shuichi put on a blindfold to block all ways to obtain information from the environment, and after several hours of driving, he finally arrived at the place where the long-term mission was performed.

When he got out of the car, the driver who brought him was nowhere to be seen. Outside was a picturesque environment. The manor-like building surrounded by mountains and rivers seemed to be a high-end nursing home.

Within the confines of the nursing home, cell phone signals are blocked, and the positioning system is out of order. It seems that there is nothing to do but wait quietly. It is indeed a "secret" place.

At the same time, there was no one who came to pick him up or give him instructions.

Did you deliberately forget to get off your horse?Akai Hideo thought about it.

After waiting at the same place for more than an hour, he did not show the restraint of a newcomer. After observing the surrounding environment for a while, he found a path hidden among the lush forest leaves and went in the direction most likely to be occupied.

The direction is correct.

Because soon, he heard a voice not far away through the swaying hanging leaves blocking people's sight.

clap clap clap-

Urgent and intense, the rope-like object like a whip lashed the ground heavily, and at the same time, it made a sharp whistling wind sound.

Akai Hideichi didn't find it weird, there are all kinds of people with eccentricities, and it is said that most of the researchers in the organization are even more eccentric.

It’s okay to blow the whip to vent the pressure. It can only show that the "target" this time is likely to be a violent person, and it will be very troublesome to get along with. I just don’t know who is more dangerous than the doctor who was uncertain before... …

Thinking about something quite serious, Akai Shuichi didn't stop for a moment, as if he didn't think about anything.

He is just a life assistant who has received a mission to report, and just needs to keep silent, and meet the tyrannical target with a whip.

"Clap clap clap clap!"

The sound of beating suddenly became more aggressive, as if he had great dissatisfaction with his appearance.

Rounding the last bend, Akai Shuichi's footsteps suddenly stopped.

Yes, he had made sufficient mental preparations, and he would not change his color when he saw any bloody or weird scenes——he was stunned for a moment.

A small courtyard is connected to the end of the tree-lined path. Marble tables and wooden corridor landscape pavilions are placed in the corners of the yard. Through the masts outside the pavilion, you can see the sparkling lake water that is occasionally dyed golden by the sun.

The ground of the yard is purposely leveled, and the weeds growing from the gaps in the floor tiles are cleaned up.

That's why the sound is only so loud when someone shakes their wrists frequently with a blank face and throws the string to the ground.

Akai Shuichi: "..."

It turned out that he was skipping rope.

The one who skipped the rope was a little girl.

The little girl was about twelve or thirteen years old, with brown hair, blue eyes, and fair skin. She was a very beautiful mixed-race girl.

But this delicate and cute little girl like a doll seems very unhappy. She is doing vigorous sports, her small face is indifferent throughout the whole process, and her eyes are especially violent-as if she has seen through the vicissitudes of life in advance. For some reason, it is still forced to endure.

Such a young child has eyes with such complex emotions, which is really surprising... But why is there a little girl in the secret research place?

The little girl saw the black-haired man approaching at a glance, she had no intention of answering him at all, she just sped up and jumped faster in an instant, the thin rope swinging in a circular arc was thrown into a phantom by her, and the strong floor tiles seemed to be touched by her too. Viciously jump through the signs.

"five hundred!"

As if counting to someone on purpose, the little girl finished speaking in a cold voice with slightly increased volume, then stopped immediately, put away the skipping rope, raised her slightly sweaty head, and walked towards the direction where Akai Hideichi was standing.

Akai Hideichi thought she was going to leave the path after she had finished skipping the rope.

As a result, the little girl ignored him and the path, and walked towards the sink that happened to be in the same direction.

She put the skipping rope aside, stepped on the stepping platform, turned on the faucet, applied hand sanitizer, scrubbed her hands carefully several times, dried them with a paper towel before jumping off the stepping platform, and walked back , the goal of going straight this time is obviously the landscape pavilion near the lake.

The layout of the pavilion was partially blocked by the partitions on both sides. From the perspective of Akai Shuichi, only a corner of the tea table inside could be seen.

The little girl stepped up the steps outside the wooden pavilion with big strides. When she opened the curtain to block the wind, she still had a lot of aura, but when she saw a certain scene, the voice from inside the pavilion weakened and turned into a complaint. He snorted softly: "I told you not to come out, you will catch a cold if you fall asleep outside, and I won't make your strange pear soup."

Russling, the little girl stood on her tiptoes and was covering someone who was sleeping on the floppy bed with a blanket.

Akai Hideichi realized something, but didn't approach, and still waited quietly in place.

He didn't wait too long in the cold wind, and it seemed that what he encountered was not a slap in the face, but a real one, his existence was forgotten.

Although neither Shuichi Akai nor the little girl made any movement, the people inside woke up quickly, and the silent peace only lasted for a few minutes.

"... Finished dancing? Uh... five hundred?"

"Dancing is over, five hundred is not much, today's exercise plan has been overfulfilled, you can go back... No, the person who should exercise more is you...Brother!"

"I also exercise well, don't I often go out for a walk in the morning and evening?"

"...I can't refute it, but there is no one who insists on exercising like this-it won't work to convince me of individual differences. I also have a medical degree, okay! You must eat more from today!"

"..."

"Don't be silent, brother, you are more and more fond of perfunctory me like this, this is not good, I want to supervise you."

"You, Shiho, are becoming more and more lively...it's a good thing, brother, I'm very pleased."

"...It's not okay to change the subject!"

It's like an ordinary conversation between brothers and sisters, it's not surprising that it appears anywhere else, but it falls in the shadow that is closely connected with the black organization, as abrupt as a little extra white out of thin air in the deep black.

Unable to figure it out, Akai Shuichi still responded to this bizarre development with silence.

He felt that the deep male voice talking to the little girl was somewhat familiar, but out of some indescribable premonition, he vaguely hoped that the truth had better not be what he thought.

"...someone is here."

"Well, bro..."

"It's okay, don't be afraid, they are sent to take care of us, I hope it won't be too difficult to get along with."

The people inside got up, and after only a few steps, a figure appeared in Akai Xiu's eyes.

At that time, the black-haired man was stunned.

Not only because of the unexpected identity of the other party, but they are even considered "acquaintances".

Akai Hideo only thought that he might never meet Ketor again until he left the organization, but he never thought that the reunion between him and Ketor would be like this.

I recognized it at first glance, but I was inexplicably not sure.

That young scholar with a delicate mind and the courage to face the murderer at the risk of his own life——

That red-haired young man with a pair of smiling eyes, gentle and friendly, confident, proud and high-spirited, Alfonso Quetor.

Not seeing each other for two years, Ketor has changed so much that even the FBI ace can't help doubting his own judgment for a moment.

His hair has grown quite a bit, and the ends reach to his shoulders, and he has been carefully groomed, so it doesn't look messy, but it can be compared with the dark red but shiny red hair in memory, where every strand is neatly combed. , the difference came out immediately.

The aesthetics of clothes seem to have not changed. He still loves simple coats, but wearing a long coat suitable for severe winters does not highlight his slender figure, but is as heavy as if it would crush him. In the final analysis, it is because of his The figure has been reduced too much, and it seems that the temperament has changed too much under the outline.

On the one hand, Akai Hideo couldn't control it, but still showed a look of astonishment.

Ketor was bending over to help the little girl put on the thick coat that he had taken off before exercising. He noticed the sight from the front. He waited until the little girl put on the clothes and took a step to hide behind him, then slowly straightened up and looked To a "friend" whom I haven't seen for two years.

If it was Ketor two years ago, no matter whether he knew in advance that the assistant who came was the "Zhu Xing Da" he knew, he would pretend not to know, and greeted with a smile: Long time no see, Mr. Zhu Xing, I have been too busy and forgot to ask you, how is your current job and are you still used to it?

But now Ketor looked directly at him, and before the corners of his lips were about to rise, he paused abruptly, and then with a slight smile, he collapsed in a perfunctory manner.

Ketor seemed to want to temporarily hang up his usual smile, but suddenly gave up this plan.

Maybe it was because he was tired of covering up, or because he didn't care to be noticed again, but there was no false expression on his face, let alone acceptance or rejection of Akai Shuichi's appearance.

He just looked at him without emotion, and then said, "Long time no see."

"..."

Akai Shuichi's silence is not obvious. In the eyes of onlookers, their reunion of "friends" must have no emotion at all, only unusually cold embarrassment.

"Rye, this is my new name now." As a result, the person who should have been more reticent said a few more words, "I didn't expect to see you here, Ketor-kun."

"It's a good name, it suits you very well. Glendronach is my code name." The red-haired young man led the little girl towards him, entering the process of reminiscing about the past, but still concise and concise, "She is Miyano Shiho, my sister and assistant."

Akai Shuichi never missed the scrutinizing eyes of the little girl with brown hair. She chose to ignore him before, but she deliberately avoided the intersection with him. Only when her "brother" stood in front of her could she release her repulsion and guard with confidence .

And he just showed up without doing anything, as if he had become a terrifying beast in the eyes of the little girl.

Ketor didn't intend to explain to him.

"Rye—here, let's call it that. I don't need to say much about what you need to do. The time we work together may be as short as a few months or as long as a few years, depending on the nature of the experiment. Progress. This sanatorium is your current range of activities, as long as you don't go out, you can do whatever you want in it."

"Now is my lunch break, I just took you to the resting place, and I will give you the key later. After the lunch break, Shiho and I will go to the laboratory. I suggest you take this time to familiarize yourself with the environment and get ready for dinner. If we don't come back, just go downstairs and remind us... This is basically the arrangement, if you have any questions, you can directly ask them."

Ketor gave a very detailed account. Combined with the entrustment he has received, Akai Shuichi basically knows what he will do at each time of day and what he can do in his spare time.

Therefore, when Ketor asked him if he had any questions, Akai Shuichi answered very succinctly: "Except for the fact that I can't cook well, there are no other problems."

"Well, as long as there is no problem, there are actually not many things you have to do... What?"

The red-haired young man leading the way paused, and even Miyano Shiho, who was following him closely by the hem of his clothes, turned his head abruptly, with intense emotion in his eyes.

That is to say, Akai Shuichi was able to withstand the pressure and repeat calmly and accurately: "Sorry, my cooking skills... are only at a very average level."

It's a bit euphemistic, but he believes that Ketor can understand: it's very general, that is, it can heat up cold food and cold dishes, and throw raw food into the pot to the extent that it should be cooked.

"Brother, why did they find us an assistant who can't even cook?!"

"...Well, although I don't know why, it's definitely not what you think, Shiho, don't scare yourself."

Ketor stopped his younger sister's thoughts of rushing towards the new way of silence in time, and the first emotion that was briefly revealed was probably "accident".

However, presumably he did understand Akai Shuichi's unfinished words, and quickly said: "Generally...it doesn't matter, we don't have high requirements for food, healthy, not too bad, that's enough. You can at least use Microwave, can you cook some simple meals?"

Hideo Akai flashed through his mind a few recipes that he could complete, coupled with his confidence in his learning and hands-on ability, he nodded.

His expression is calm and composed, much like a hidden master.

Ketor and Miyano Shiho had points in their minds. With this demeanor, no matter how bad the long-haired assistant was at cooking, he wouldn't be a kitchen killer, so they didn't think too much about it and chose to believe him.

There was no warm welcome ceremony, and the life assistant took the life assistant to choose the room as quickly as possible, and recognized the way from the ground to the underground research institute. The two researchers, one big and one small, threw them away and went straight to the laboratory by themselves. Hours later the light will come back.

Akai Hideichi arrived for the first time, and he didn't seem disappointed by the cold reception at all.

Without Ketor's reminder, he also immediately went around every corner of the sanatorium, confirming that the sanatorium is just an empty shell with only residential functions.

He also went to the research institute hidden underground, and the result was not surprising. He could only open the outermost entrance door. The rooms in the research institute were all locked, and the only experimental instruments that could be exposed were experimental instruments that could not provide clues.

It was just the beginning, he was not in a hurry, he returned the same way, and spent the rest of his time in the kitchen of the nursing home.

After checking the fresh ingredients in the refrigerator, it was obvious that they were delivered once a day, and Akai Shuichi used the skills necessary for an undercover agent: one mind and two tasks.

The black-haired man was studying and studying the recipes he found in the drawer, while he was still thinking about Ketor.

Ketor, the biggest change is the temperament.

What accident has he encountered in the past two years?If it weren't for the great blow and heavy pressure, it would not be possible to grind a good person into this.

Cracking an egg with bare hands, the black-haired man broke open the crack and cracked an egg into a bowl.

was thinking about things.

Suddenly, Akai Shuichi looked down.

His long, broken hair slipped into the perfectly round egg yolk at some point.

... mistake.

The man twisted his hair, cracked an egg again, and summed up the first experience of formally confronting the kitchen.

Just like sniping, remember to tie your hair in advance next time.

……

On the first day of employment as a life assistant, a wonderful dinner was prepared for the care recipient.

——Sorry, there is no other word to describe this magical dinner other than "wonderful".

Miyano Shiho took only one mouthful, then snatched Qianmu brother's bowl in horror, and then looked at the life assistant's eyes suddenly changed color.

She suspected that this man with a dark aura similar to that of Gin was the killer. Gin finally got impatient with the long-stalled progress of the experiment and sent someone to poison her and Brother Qianmu to death.

"........."

Qianmu clasped his hands and fingers, and pressed against his slightly twitching lips. The only eyes that could be observed by the assistant were like a deep pool, the water in the pool was dark and dead, and all emotions and desires were wiped out.

Failed.

Just to sing the opposite of the script again, he deliberately picked out "Rye" from the list given by Belmode, who would never have an intersection.

He didn't expect that Belmode remembered that he had looked at Rye differently, and even called Rye's name to take him out to relax, so he didn't specifically verify it, and directly added Rye to the list.

He also didn't expect that some FBI ace agents, who usually don't show off their mountains and leak water, seem to be able to capture everything from murder and arson to home health care, but they are really kitchen killers behind their backs.

It is not necessary for Xiao Zhibao to test the poison for him. Qianmu can guess it from the food. If he really took a bite, Akai Shuichi can complete the span of several years in one afternoon, and get his wish ahead of time. BOSS sent away on the spot.

If this is the script's revenge on him...

"...I'm sorry, it seems that I still overestimated my level."

Akai Shuichi hadn't been this embarrassed for a long time.

The little girl was doubting, Ketor was silent, and he had conclusive evidence, unable to defend himself at all.

"Brother." After Akai Shuichi came, Miyano Shiho omitted Qianmu's name and called him directly, "This assistant is really not good, can I change it?"

Akai Shuichi was speechless.

Based on this dinner, even he himself decided in advance that he would encounter the first Waterloo lurking in the organization—the first day of a long-term mission, and he was returned because the cooking was too bad.

But it can't be helped, he really tried his best...

"Need not."

Miyano Shiho was stunned on the spot: "?"

The person involved, Akai Hideichi, was also unexpected.

Qian Mu didn't hesitate. In his opinion, the choice was already clear at a glance.

It was a coincidence, so he considered himself unlucky, and the script wanted to use this to force him to change his mind, which was exactly what he wanted, unless Shuichi Akai could blow up the kitchen and the research institute together, he would never let him go.

"Let me teach you."

"Brother? You teach him?"

"...?"

"That's right, it's not that difficult to cook, even I know a little bit, there's no way Rye can't learn it."

Qian Mu put down his hands, and made an excuse that Xiao Zhibao couldn't insist on objecting: "Don't you think that I still stay in the laboratory for too long, and there is no other way to relax? Let's use the teaching session instead. Let's talk first, Rye, my cooking skills are... so-so."

His "ordinary" is the real ordinary, Akai Shuichi's "ordinary" is a level that ordinary people can't match.

"Although it's relatively average, it shouldn't be a problem to help you improve your cooking skills."

Qian Mu said, staring into the black-haired man's eyes across a dining table: "So, Rye, do you mind?"

Akai Shuichi: "...Thank you very much, of course I don't mind."

What burst out from Ketor's dark eyes is absolutely threatening [murderous intent], as the life assistant who is the wrong party must accept this kind of favor, if the answer is a few seconds slower, it may even arouse the red-haired youth The impatience beneath the calm exterior.

It took Ketor three days to let Akai Shuichi learn the simplest way of stewing, steaming and frying, and the effect is not bad.

Next, Ketor spent another month trying to teach Shuichi Akai the upgraded version of ingredients, such as the amount of condiments used in cooking, and the skills to increase the freshness of the taste...

Since it is an attempt, it means that it has not been able to teach.

Same for another month or two.

"........."

"Zhu Xingda, I just kill you and it's over, right?"

"...Sorry, I wasted your time, you go to the laboratory, I will..."

"—Forget it, it's useless to kill you. Change...a way, sandwich, you can't have any more problems, that's right...no, yes, yes."

In silence, Akai Shuichi recorded the anxiety that the red-haired youth exposed at this time with a little bit of confusion.

As time went by, Ketor seemed to be too lazy to hide it.

Maybe when he was facing the little girl Miyano Shiho, he would subconsciously hide most of his emotions, but when he turned to Akai Shuichi—especially when he left the laboratory in the midst of his busy schedule and had to teach the kitchen killer to cook, he almost seemed like It's a different person.

They have lived in the nursing home for more than a month, and they get along day and night. It stands to reason that the distance is much closer than the mutual temptation that was more common in text messages and only occasionally met. thinner.

Ketor didn't give him a good face because of his past "friendship". He didn't care about his existence at all, but for some reason, now that the kitchen killer can already make edible food, he is still very interested in improving his cooking skills. persistent.

At this moment, Ketor was supporting the cooking table with both hands, leaning down, with his head lowered, as if he was so angry that he didn't want to see the killer's face in the kitchen.

Akai Shuichi's eyes paused for a long time on his hands.

The red-haired young man never took off his gloves. He grabbed the edge of the cooking table with both hands. For some reason, he felt as if he wanted to embed his fingers in it. Break the hard rock.

Because he forgot to pretend, Akai Shuichi could easily see it.

— very unusual.

——Something must have happened to Ketor.

If they were true friends, Akai Shuichi could ask him without hesitation if he needed his help.

But they are not friends, but "enemies".

Akai Shuichi could only keep silent.

……

Or, for the purpose of completing the task, he can also say one more sentence.

"As you said last time, you only need to configure the stew according to the specific grams, and add the ingredients and water to the pot to complete it... Chinese health soup? I should be fine."
