The scene that Kuroki Jin expected in the fighting field did not appear. Bourbon only lost his composure for a moment, then returned to normal and smoothly smoothed his collar.
"Have you visited him?"
"Yeah." Kuroki Ren nodded, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it over.
Kuroki does not smoke, nor does he smoke bourbon, but Kuroki feels that bourbon at this time may need it.
Bourbon took the cigarette and lit it without putting it in his mouth. Instead, he held it up and watched him burn.
Kuroki Jin can probably understand his mood. This kind of separation is common for their profession. Sometimes your teammates may not be able to come back after a mission.
But commonplace is not the same as habit. People who have been with you for many years suddenly tell you that you will never see them again. This is something that no one can get used to.
Bourbon adjusts himself quickly. He is not like Kuroki Jin, who has an emotional personality. If compared to him, he is more like Belmode. His emotions and anger are invisible, and no one knows what he is planning.
What.
So he took away the pack of cigarettes in Heimuren's hand, walked out of the small room with Heimuren's blank expression, and handed the cigarette to Jiang Chengdahe.
"It's confiscated, don't let Potter learn bad things."
Kuroki Ren: "??"
Jiang Chengdahe silently put away his cigarette, and then looked at Kuromu Ren with disapproval.
Kuroki Ren: "..."
Bourbon, good on you.
"I won't buy it next time." Kuroki decided to give in first and made a mark in Bourbon's gloating eyes.
Bourbon left. Before leaving, he used gestures to remind Kuroki to hurry up and get things done. Kuroki waved his hands impatiently.
Jiangcheng Dahe watched Bourbon leave before throwing the cigarette case back to Kuroki Ren.
"...I really don't smoke." Kuroki Ren had no choice but to put the cigarette case on the table at hand, "This guy Amuro always makes fun of me."
"I don't understand the way you two get along." Jiang Chengdahe took the cigarette case and put it in his pocket. He is a smoker, but he doesn't smoke during business hours.
Kuroki Jin smiled. Kuromu knew that Bourbon had the idea of being his brother. Since the showdown between the two, he had consciously stepped into the role of Kenji's brother and taken care of him. However, Kuromu did not need him to be like this.
.
No one can replace Hagiwara Kenji, not even Bourbon. In other words, in Kuroki Jin's heart, the few people who supported each other in his darkest childhood are irreplaceable.
Like Taiga Ese in front of me, Airi Chiga in the United States, and Kenji Hagihara who has passed away.
Kuroki Jin admitted that the darkness of his childhood was a pain that he never wanted to mention, but these brothers and sisters were the only light left in his childhood.
Kuroki Ren left Fengshun, and Jiangcheng Dahe resumed business. Before any customers arrived, he took out a cigarette from the cigarette case.
In the clouds and mist, his square face was looming.
Kuroki skillfully organized the remaining forty-nine members of the Supervision Department after removing Gin into seven groups, ensuring that the friendship between the members of each group was neither too good nor too bad, and that each member
The organization members that the group members know can generally cover all members participating in the annual meeting.
This was already the limit. Kuroki Jin had to trouble Gin to revise it several times before giving the list to Bourbon on Friday. The latter was so busy that he didn't even call and send a direct email to recover.
An "ok" indicates receipt.
In addition, the members of the Tokyo Operations Department have also completed their declarations, but the members who have returned from various places are not so fast, and some who have no dealings with Kuroki Jin themselves are delayed again and again.
Fortunately, Kuroki Jin had already anticipated this situation and was not in a hurry. He leisurely sat back in the candy house and took some time to relax.
Onto Wakaki also came back to report on Friday. In the past few days, he and Kudo Shinichi have traveled all over Tokyo, encountered three cases, been invited by Megure twice, and swiped their faces to the Criminal Department of the Metropolitan Police Department.
People saw the duo and let them go.
Kuroki Jin had to sigh that Kudo Shinichi was really good at communication, and asked the shy Onto Wakaki to learn from him.
Wenren can’t learn from them.
So he hid in the back kitchen dejectedly and taught Anayuki how to bake pastries. And because the candy store didn't sell this kind of thing, they all ended up in the trap of Kuroki who didn't get fat by eating it, and Wen Ren who ate it secretly during the teaching process.
In human mouth.
Anaisuki who picked up the weight loss plan again: "..."
In short, the first day Wen Ren returned was a day of chaos.
Nearing the evening, when there was the least amount of traffic, the trio from Didan High School visited this small candy house again.
Kuroki Jin was counting today's business accounts and greeted them casually when he saw them coming. Ana Yuki had already prepared the order for Suzuki Sonoko to come over at noon.
"..." Kuroki Ren took the time to take a look at the beautifully decorated cakes and cute cookies. He recalled that he had eaten the twisted semi-finished products all afternoon, and he suddenly felt unbalanced.
"Hey." He sighed loudly on purpose, attracting the attention of the whole store.
"It's still hard to be a boss." Kuroki performed hard, "I open my eyes every day with the ledger and close my eyes to candy, and it's hard to even eat normally."
"Then I don't see you eating less!" Anaisuki skillfully flew over a rag.
Kuroki Ren dodged more skillfully, and his face returned to that shameless smile. He stood up and walked away from Anaisaki while clapping his hands and said: "Wow, I'm angry. I'm angry. Wenren, come out and see. You're so gentle."
My dear sister Xiji is angry."
Anayuki feels that this is not her fault. I think that whether she was an insurance salesperson before or a candy store employee now, she always looks like a gentle sister next door, and rarely speaks loudly.
So it must all be Kuroki Jin's fault.
Anayuki's expression gradually changed. Wakamu Onto came out of the back kitchen and shrank back as soon as he put his head in. The originally cheerful atmosphere of the melon-eating trio gradually became quieter.
Kuroki Ren: "Gulu."
"That, that..."
"Hey." This time it was Anayuki who sighed. She stood there with her head lowered, sighing inaudibly and sobbing slightly.
"I'm really sorry, boss, for having such a bad employee like me." She wiped the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand.
Hey - she's not crying! She definitely smiled at him just now! Kuroki Jin guarantees with his own name that she definitely smiled at him!
But——
"Mr. Kuroki, you've gone too far." Suzuki Sonoko held up the plate with a cake fork, "How could you bully Sister Yuki like this? It was obviously you who made her angry in the first place."
He was just kidding!
"It's okay if the joke goes too far." Kudo Shinichi seemed to know what Kuroki Jin was going to explain.
Kuroki Ren looked at Mao Lilan, who had already gone to comfort Anayuki, and could only take a deep breath and bow to Anayuki with his hands clasped together.
"I'm so sorry!"
