“Alright~"
Because she got up late, Eri Kisaki only made a simple breakfast.
Speaking of food.
Aoi Tsuki, who had just moved in with Eri Kisaki.
Back then, he suffered a bit because of Eri Kisaki's terrible cooking.
However, Aoi Tsuki wasn't someone who would torment himself.
He couldn't understand how someone could force themselves to eat something that tasted awful, all while praising it.
Aoi Tsuki certainly wouldn't do that.
Using reasons like "thanking Eri-san for her kindness" and "paying for lodging".
After several requests, he obtained the right to use the kitchen.
Eri Kisaki probably thought she couldn't easily refuse such a sincere child's request.
Without much hesitation, she agreed.
Eri Kisaki, who always believed her cooking was decent, was unaware of Aoi Tsuki's lie.
After that, Aoi Tsuki began to slowly teach Eri Kisaki cooking.
He tried to correct her terrible cooking skills and knowledge about cooking.
Thankfully, with Aoi Tsuki's help.
Eri Kisaki's cooking skills, while still far from the level of those famous restaurants.
But her home-cooked dishes had reached a pretty good level.
And when he entered middle school, his relationship with Eri Kisaki changed.
In the kitchen, the two of them cooked together, teaching Eri Kisaki some Chinese dishes one on one.
It was their little romantic routine.
Of course, because of Aoi Tsuki's presence.
This sweet and intimate routine would often change with time.
Turning the originally heartwarming cooking scene into something more...undescribable.
Just like this morning.
Aoi Tsuki followed Eri Kisaki into the kitchen.
He was immediately pushed out by her, her face flushed.
She had been tortured all night and could still feel the soreness in her body.
"Aoi Tsuki, are you proud of yourself?" Eri Kisaki snorted, "Don't be a nuisance."
"It's not early anymore, I have to go to the firm."
Aoi Tsuki complied and left the kitchen.
————————
Meanwhile, in a certain research institute in Miwa.
A silver-haired man, his head wrapped in layers of gauze, looked rather pathetic.
The expression on his face grew increasingly ugly.
It was Gin, the man who had been beaten down and robbed of his drugs and target by one of Aoi Tsuki's demon servants.
Over the years of working for the Black Organization, Gin had suffered similar severe injuries.
Though, mostly during his younger days.
He hadn't been this embarrassed in a long time.
That day, after Gin and Vodka were injured and unable to move normally.
They even lost their Porsche's wheels.
Gin was forced to contact a member of the organization's codenamed members.
It was Chianti and Korn, who had been on the mission with them earlier.
They happened to be at the Dorobiga Land amusement park and hadn't left yet, so they quickly picked up Gin and Vodka.
Both Chianti and Korn were quite surprised that someone could actually injure Gin like that.
They speculated that maybe some top agents from a certain country's intelligence agency had ambushed Gin and Vodka.
Since Gin was in the car, even when Chianti asked what happened.
Vodka didn't say anything.
As soon as they arrived at a research institute under the control of the organization.
After being treated by the organization's team of doctors.
Vodka spilled the beans.
In his opinion, it was incredible that someone could take down him and his older brother with one move.
It also happened in Gin's territory in Japan.
It must be a major enemy of the organization.
After telling Chianti and Korn, Vodka also reminded the members of the organization's periphery.
During this period, be vigilant while carrying out organization tasks.
At this time, Gin was on the phone with Vermouth.
On the other end of the phone.
Vermouth's laughter never stopped.
Gin strongly suspected that news of his misfortune spread throughout the organization overnight.
This was likely due to the thousand-faced witch.
Gin, with a grim face, resisted the urge to smash his phone.
He didn't suppress the killing intent in his voice, "Stop laughing."
"You know, Gin, we have received special training, unless I can't help myself."
Vermouth thought this was the most interesting news of the year.
"That gentleman said you are in charge of the investigation," Gin's face was ashen.
"Huh? Gin, that's unlike you, not taking revenge yourself?" Vermouth was a bit surprised.
"If there's a suitable opportunity. Vermouth, I'll send you the relevant information about that guy now."
Gin spoke, his eyes glared fiercely at Vodka beside him.
Vodka hung his head in shame.
Because he had let the information slip.
Now, almost all codenamed members of the organization knew about it.
He and his elder brother Gin had been robbed, not only were they beaten up.
Even Gin's beloved Porsche 356A wheels vanished.
As a result, after his treatment recovered and he could barely move normally, Gin's first priority was to order new wheels through the organization's channels.
Because of Gin's personality, he didn't think much of other members of the organization except for that gentleman.
Pisco, Rum, they were all just dead bones in his eyes.
Only he could be the gentleman's most capable subordinate.
He also often handled the task of cleaning up organization moles, which was a job that offended people.
However, because Gin was powerful and ruthless.
Even other codenamed members of the organization rarely dared to mock Gin to his face, like Vermouth.
Of course, there would inevitably be some behind-the-scenes mockery.
"Boss..."
"Shut up, Vodka!"
"Yes, Boss..."
Across the ocean, Vermouth was receiving information sent by Gin.
"His upper body is covered in a thick black mist?"
There wasn't much relevant information.
There was no surveillance where Gin parked.
It was impossible to get a clear video of the target.
So they could only collect all the surveillance footage from nearby streets.
After all, Japan was a very important territory for the Black Organization, and such a strange yet powerful person appeared.
While they mocked Gin, everyone acknowledged his skills.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so trusted by the gentleman.
But such an organization member who made intelligence agencies around the world tremble, and whose capture attempts had failed many times.
He, along with his subordinate, was easily taken down, it was just that the other party seemed to be only after the things, without killing intent.
Otherwise, the head of the organization in Japan would have been replaced.
This naturally alarmed the gentleman, who dispatched the thousand-faced witch, who excels in intelligence.
To investigate.
"Magic?" Vermouth thought thoughtfully.
She, who was proficient in disguise and voice manipulation, immediately thought of her master, the genius magician Kaito Kuroba.
She didn't think about supernatural abilities.
Aoi Tsuki didn't know that his whim, letting his demon servants snatch the APTX-4869.
Drew the attention of the Black Organization.
But even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
Although the demon servants were simply crafted by Aoi Tsuki.
But besides being physically strong, they could also use the power of the evil spirits within them to hide.
That's what Gin referred to as the black mist.
They wouldn't leave behind any traces like dander, hair, etc.
Aoi Tsuki even specifically told the demon servants to only hide their upper bodies.
He actually looked forward to someone from the Black Organization coming knocking.
If they could find him.
With the members of the Black Organization who kill without mercy, their souls should be much stronger than those of gang members.
Aoi Tsuki would then be able to craft even stronger demon servants.
