The thief girl wants to buy a home in Rice Flower

The time to test acting skills and on-the-spot response has come.

The fact that Shirley and I left the institute to go shopping and meet Akemi Miyano did not attract special attention, and of course we were not warned.After my report on Shirley was given to Rum, his feedback was that I was too spoiled for her, like the Whiskey group spoiled me.

I figured he meant that the whiskey team didn't take me on a mission, so I didn't say anything more.

Regarding the research Shirley is doing, I am actually a little interested, but this part is a confidential matter, and the danger is more worthy of attention than the interest.So even though I lived in the research institute during this time, I didn't take the initiative to ask her what she was doing, I only knew that she was researching a kind of medicine.

After Shirley adapted to life in Japan and her research was on the right track, my work also continued, but I still lived near the research institute, next door to Shirley.

I heard that Rum has the intention of asking me to help Shirley, but I am a liberal arts student here, and I haven't studied seriously before. Although I have dabbled in all aspects of knowledge, the rules of physical chemistry under various worldviews Varies... all in all just not helpful at all.

The summer is fleeting, and the temperature drops rapidly after the arrival of autumn. Today is the last day of October, which is the eve of Halloween.

I was fishing on the way to work, thinking that the weather was getting colder, and the Scottish family kept the new winter clothes I bought at the beginning of the year and hadn't worn yet, so I wanted to find him some time.In the current situation, it should be fine for me to propose moving back, but Shirley will definitely say that I value sex over friends, so I am still hesitating.

When I was about to get off work, I was thinking about what to eat tonight, and I wanted to take Shirley to watch a movie with me. Suddenly, I received an email in the mailbox I left for Ley as Phantom Thief M, which stirred up my peaceful life. A wave of waves.

The content is very short, there is no polite greeting, only one sentence.

[Can you steal someone for me? 】

My expression twisted for a moment. Looking at this sentence, I could almost imagine his teasing tone, so I replied simply and neatly: [Kidnapping is not within the scope of the Phantom Thief's obligation. 】

But seeing that the email had been sent, I couldn't help but wonder who Ley wanted to steal.

I haven't contacted him recently, and I haven't gotten into any trouble. The person he wants to steal is definitely not me...

There was a sudden surge of uneasiness in my heart, which became reality in a few minutes.

"Minghe, someone is looking for her in the reception room."

I subconsciously thought it was Ley, after all he is the only one who always comes here to see me, but he never comes into the funeral home, but hangs around outside, unless there is something important... It's not him, it's a light-haired woman .

I closed the door, stood in front of her, vaguely guessed her identity, probably a bottle of wine: "Who is it?"

"Curaçao."

It dawned on me for a while, I know this code name, she is Langmu's confidant, I heard that she has a very high combat power, and she is also trusted by Langmu.

But there is one thing to say, I don't want to know what she looks like at all, and I always feel that the more I know, the closer I am to my death.

"What's matter?"

"There is a task for you," she said, "you need to perform it immediately."

For the first time an assignment was delivered to me not by mail but by courier.

I responded with a slightly serious expression.

She continued: "Scotland is the dog of the police. This has been confirmed. Do you know what to do?"

……Eh?

My brain was blank for a moment, but it was quickly filled with "ah, he was exposed" and "so fast, it's time for me to improvise".

The woman's expression didn't fluctuate, but she kept her eyes fixed on my face, probably wanting to see my reaction before reporting to Rum.

Then I can only act.

"What else can I do..." My voice and face turned cold, and the anger and murderous look that had never appeared on my face were released instantly. I imagined how crazy Qin Jiu would be at this moment, and suddenly showed With a cruel smile, "Of course we have to make him spit out all his secrets, and then kill him—"

Then there was the backstory to justify my anger.

"I trust him so much... a traitor... If it wasn't a traitor, if that woman hadn't been a traitor, I wouldn't be reduced to disposing of corpses in such a place now!"

——My "mother" who betrayed my trust took away my future, so I cannot forgive Scotland who also betrayed my trust.I will complete the task and prove that I can be trusted.

This point was recognized by Curacao, a gun was thrown into my hand, and the woman raised her head: "Will it work?"

"Although I haven't tried it and don't know how to shoot, I can still load and pull the trigger." I replied, "And as long as you shoot close to your head, it doesn't matter how you shoot."

She nodded, and finally said, "If you need help, tell Ley and Bourbon to go with you."

I immediately asked sharply: "Is there a traitor among them?"

"Rum is just skeptical, there is no evidence yet."

Leaving this sentence, the light-haired woman left quickly.I was free in the reception room for 3 minutes, and quickly walked to the locker room to get off work.

The gun was stuffed in my satchel, and I was a little panicked on the way to my home in Scotland by tram, lest I encounter a low-probability event like a thief, which would expose me as violating the gun | ammunition control regulations.I hadn't figured out what to improvise until I unlocked the Scottish house with the key.

There must be positioning and bugging devices in the gun, and I don’t know if Scotland is in the mood to read the words I type on the phone screen when facing the gun.

... well, he wasn't home.

I walked around the familiar house, went to the balcony to water the plants, and then called Scotland.

The exposure of Scotland's identity is something that has not been made public. If Rum wants to prove my loyalty, he will not tell Gin about it, otherwise I will definitely not be the one who takes the head.So I just need to communicate with him as before, like a friend.

"Melo?" The young man's familiar voice came into his ears, "Long time no contact, is your mission over?"

"It's just a sneak in. When are you going home? Can I wait for your handmade dinner at home?"

"Are you at home?" he said. "I may be late."

"Well... where are you now? I'll go find you and have dinner together? I have to go back later."

Scotland quickly agreed: "I'm in Shibuya, shall we meet at Shibuya Station?"

I bit my lower lip and responded, "Okay."

In fact, I have a near-instinctive fear of Halloween. On this day, I won’t dress up, eat pumpkins, or ask for candy. I’ve stayed at home and watched Ultraman’s movies for Halloween in the past few years since I came to this world. .

I definitely don't want to go out on this day if possible, let alone go to Shibuya after dark, it's killing me- but if not, Gin, or Curacao, will really kill me life.

After hanging up the phone, I found a pure black windbreaker from the clothes I left here before and put it on, and stuffed the gun into the inner pocket.

"...I hate Halloween."

·

How crowded is Shibuya tonight?

On the way there in the cab, I called Ley, thinking if he was with Scotland, I'd get him out of the way first.But while waiting for the call to connect, I suddenly thought of the email he sent me.

Was he talking about Scotland?He learned about the exposure of Scotland's identity in advance from a certain channel, so he wanted "Phantom Thief M" to fulfill his agreement and help him steal someone. This should be possible, but I have already rejected it at the speed of light.

But if this is the case, what is Ley's identity?It shouldn't be Scotland's companion in the police, otherwise you can tell him clearly.Thinking about it this way, Ley is either an undercover agent for another organization, or he just admires Scotland for not wanting him to die. Either way, he is already on the verge of betraying the organization.

"Melo? How rare that you call me."

It is impossible for me to kill Scotland, but the copyright of the system is limited and many props cannot be borrowed, and the price that can be borrowed may not be within my tolerance. I am not sure that I can help him escape alone.But if Ley can help, things will be much easier... Do you want to take a gamble?

"It's a rare Halloween, don't you want to go on a date with me? How long will it take you to Shibuya Station?"

The other side was silent for a few seconds, changed the brisk tone just now, and asked a little seriously: "Mission?"

"Well, are you coming or not? I'll be here soon, and I'll share the location with you later. By the way, you can also call him on the guitarist's side and ask him to come over after dinner."

"--learn."

Ley's voice is still so magnetic, but I can't get excited at this moment.

I have my own way out, and death is just going to the next world. I didn't save money in this world, and I didn't buy a house to live in. Even if I die, I won't bring much regret.But Scotland didn't. He still didn't know anything about his identity being exposed. He didn't know that the only thing waiting for him was death.

This made me a little sad the moment I saw him, but he walked towards me unconsciously, with a gentle and friendly smile as always: "Long time no see, Mello. It's rare to see you wearing black. Are you going to play a vampire?"

I kind of want to say that my professional attire in the funeral home is all black formal attire, but this seems to directly reveal my intention of coming, so I shook my head casually: "It's just that I didn't wear a coat when I went out, from the clothes left in your house I just picked one at random, and it looks pretty good.”

I took him to a shop I was familiar with, and turned into an alley. It’s hard to say that this place belongs to the surrounding area of ​​Shibuya, and the chaotic crowd near the station is called a ghostly night walk. This is a peaceful and pure land. .

The first floor is a grocery store, decorated with many pumpkins and candy canes to match the festive atmosphere, and also sold props for costumes. I saw the red transparent bag on the shelf at a glance, which was edible fruity plasma.A simple plan quickly formed in my mind. I went into the store and bought a bag of blood plasma and a pencil sharpener, and bought a little devil badge as a cover.

If I win the bet and the plan can be realized smoothly, then I probably won't be afraid of Halloween anymore.

"Halloween gift from a vampire." Standing at the door of the store, I tiptoed slightly facing Scotland, carefully put the plasma bag into his inner chest pocket, and pinned the badge on his outer collar, "Treasure it well."

He looked at me in surprise, and seemed to want to say something, but finally held back and said nothing.

The author says:

·Halloween is a private design, which originated from Mikan (actually the author)'s obsession with Halloween Shibuya x

Encyclopedia says that Jingguang’s death day is December 12th, but Moegirl is not available, and I can’t find the source...Anyway, Halloween is a private setting, and it happens that the bride of Halloween will be released tomorrow, so I will use it as a preheating for the theatrical version hhh
