Chapter 47 Shiho Miyano
Bai Ye Xiu really didn't expect that Gin's mission to track down Akai Shuichi in America would fall on his shoulders.
If I had known it would turn out this way, I wouldn't have told Gin.
He thought the organization would ask Gin to put aside his current tasks before investigating Shuichi Akai, just like before. But this time, Gin gave him his own task list directly.
Although he crossed out several FBI-related tasks he couldn't do from the list, the sheer number of tasks on the list was still daunting.
"Don't even think about slacking off. You need to change your lazy ways." Gin, who was on a plane heading to the United States, called Bai Yexiu and warned him in a cold tone.
"You want me to change, but not like this..." Bai Yexiu wanted to struggle a little more, but Gin cruelly hung up on him.
"..."
Gin, you old bastard.
Filled with grief and indignation, Bai Yexiu began his daily journey as a corporate slave.
In front of a pharmaceutical factory, Bai Yexiu got out of a taxi, made a phone call to Amuro Tooru, gave him some tasks that would not easily leak organizational information, and then went into the factory.
Gin will drop missions, and so will I.
This task is a reminder task; he needs to step in Gin's place and urge a researcher to make progress.
The researcher's code name was Sherry. Although Bai Yeshu was abroad before, he had met Sherry once.
Back then, the Miyano couple, who were originally in charge of researching that drug, perished in a fire. Now, the organization has handed over the remaining data to Sherry—who is Shiho Miyano, the couple's daughter.
Sherry was once taken to England, where she happened to meet Bai Yeshu.
Sherry's lab was located on the most secluded basement level of the pharmaceutical factory. The walls of the lab weren't solid; they were made of large glass panels. Whatever Sherry was doing inside, everyone outside could see through them.
Compared to the organization's prized research members, she was more like a prisoner under surveillance.
Bai Yexiu habitually put on a mask and stood in front of the glass, quietly watching the 18-year-old girl with brown hair who was engrossed in various instruments, thinking about how to urge her later.
He had heard Gin mention Sherry's temper before.
Under this gaze, many memories, just like when he first met Amuro Tooru, flooded Bai Yexiu's mind.
He found out again. He knew everything about Shirley, what would become of her.
Sherry is actually going to run away?
Bai Yexiu thought for a moment, if Sherry ran away, wouldn't the organization's research come to a standstill? That won't do!
While Bai Ye was thinking, Shiho Miyano, who had just fed a small piece of bread to a white mouse, noticed a gaze watching him and turned around to glare back at it with an unfriendly look.
Through the glass, Shiho Miyano was surprised to see not Gin, but a strange... boy?
For a moment, she thought he was an innocent boy who had accidentally wandered in, but seeing that the boy was dressed in black and exuded an evil aura, she realized that he was probably sent by the organization.
This basement level isn't open to just anyone. Entry requires an A-level member's card and fingerprint verification; even the door to the research lab requires fingerprint recognition. Anyone attempting to force their way in will trigger a machine gun barrage and be riddled with bullets.
The young man in black outside was calm and unharmed, and did not seem to have forced his way in at all.
When Bai Yexiu realized he had been discovered, he looked up and gave Miyano Shiho a meaningful wink.
The moment she met the boy's eyes, Shiho Miyano suddenly felt a sense of familiarity. Those unique amber eyes... she felt like she had seen them a long time ago.
But soon, Shiho Miyano's face showed a look of disgust, because she really didn't like the members of the organization.
Bai Yexiu leisurely passed through the identification system and entered the research room, pulling up a chair to sit down.
"Who are you? If you have nothing to say, please leave," Shiho Miyano said coldly.
Even if a boy younger than him came, she didn't like anyone from the organization except for his sister.
"Don't be so quick to kick me out." Bai Yexiu crossed his legs. "I haven't even said what I'm here for yet."
Shiho Miyano didn't speak, turned her back with a stern face, and silently continued her work. She had treated Gin the same way when he came here before.
However, Shiho Miyano still felt a little sorry for the fact that she was dealing with a teenager who was even younger than him. The organization had actually recruited a boy who was only fourteen or fifteen years old. Judging from the boy's eyes and behavior, it was clear that he was a child who had been completely corrupted by the organization.
Seeing that Shiho Miyano didn't speak, Shiro continued with his task. After all, it was just a reminder; whether the person being reminded listened or not was none of his concern.
"I'm here on Gin's behalf to remind you..."
"Replace Gin?"
Before Bai Yexiu could finish speaking, Miyano Shiho, puzzled, subconsciously asked, "Why isn't Gin here?"
Bai Yexiu chuckled softly a few times, and said in a playful tone, "What? You miss Gin that much?"
Upon hearing this, Shiho Miyano's ears instantly turned red. Just as she was about to explain, Bai Yexiu waved his hand with a smile: "Really, I was just joking."
Shiho Miyano's mood worsened, and she turned back to continue her silent treatment of Shiro.
"Let's get down to business. Don't you think your progress is too slow? Or... are you doing it on purpose?"
Shiho Miyano turned around abruptly and saw that Shiro Yasushi seemed to be smiling, his seemingly clear amber eyes staring at her with a dangerous glint in them.
That doesn't look like the look of a teenager.
Shiho Miyano snapped out of her daze and said coldly, "Hmph, the information provided by the organization is incomplete, so it will naturally take more time."
"Very good." Bai Yexiu stood up and said cheerfully, "I hope what you said is true. Otherwise, you wouldn't want your sister to be carried to you covered in bruises, would you?"
"..." Shiho Miyano didn't speak, but her right hand gripped the hem of her clothes tightly.
"My mission is complete, I'll be going now~" Bai Yexiu's tone sounded like he was saying goodbye to his best friend.
"Wait a minute." Shiho Miyano's voice was a little hoarse for some reason.
"Don't touch my sister. That's my only request."
Shiho Miyano stood there, head down, her hands clenching the hem of her clothes.
Bai Yexiu didn't say anything, as if he hadn't heard anything, and closed the door and left.
Outside the factory.
[Your Shiho seems to miss you a lot, have you missed me? — Cointreau]
Bai Yeshu sent a message to disgust Gin.
When it comes to being disgusting, Gin is second to none.
