[Lord Conan] Bourbon's Lover is Japan

Before meeting on this day, Eguchi and Bourbon hadn't talked face to face for a long time.

There's a lot of email correspondence.It's a pity that because Eguchi was dragged to Europe by Gin some time ago, the possibility of meeting is getting lower and lower.

The meeting between the two is not as serious as an appointment to exchange information, but it is not like having a candlelight dinner every time they meet Belmode.

Just wandering around the streets of Tokyo.

They will walk and chat at night, watch the lights come and go, and talk about their recent life.

It seems that in this way, it can be integrated into the daily life around it.

Enjoying this hallucination is the same unspoken preference of two people.

"What about in Europe?"

"I've learned a lot of English pronunciation, and recently I'm interested in Latin. Where's Bourbon?"

"Except that the mission is the mission, it's the same as usual. Recently, after you left, there was an incredible mission in the organization, and it was code-named Kiel."

Bourbon roughly told the woman's story.Eguchi was not very interested.But the fact that someone got a new code name is good information.

"When it comes to wine, besides bourbon, I still prefer Cohen."

"Oh?"

"Hmm... It always feels like we are alike?"

"If you want to say this, then I'm more interested in Belmode."

"Sure enough, Tou-kun still prefers plump women." Eguchi's face was expressionless, but his eyes seemed to say that I had seen through you a long time ago.

Bourbon raised his eyebrows, "Let me tell you, Eguchi's age shouldn't be the time when he is keen on dating? You say that, do you want to develop with Cohen?"

The sniper code-named Cohen quickly flashed through his mind, and then he decided to judge.

old man.

"I have a lover—"

Surprisingly, Eguchi said so.

Then, in the gorgeous lights at night, he turned his head and smiled slightly at the surprised Bourbon.

"My weapon is my lover."

She has spent a lot of effort to take care of them dear.

Bourbon laughed: "Then haven't you already abandoned your lover many times?"

Eguchi is a scumbag to the end: "I love the soul, not the **** they replace."

Speaking of weapons, the two chatted about firearms for a while, and then the topic turned to fighting skills.

"There are actually no opportunities to use it in the organization."

"But Eguchi can't relax anymore. If I had any ill intentions towards you when I first met you, it would have been a scene where I had to fight in close quarters. How is your fighting skill? Do you need my help?"

"I--swordsmanship is better. I have been practicing it all the time. Hmm... empty-handed is just average, far from yours."

Eguchi comes from the Scepter4 who walks with a sword, and his swordsmanship is of course incomparable.

Bourbon suggested: "Why don't you learn some karate? It's also a weapon, miss lover of weapons."

He teased on purpose, Eguchi didn't feel any embarrassment at all, instead he seriously considered the proposal.

After a moment, she admitted.

"There are still many lovers in this world that I have not discovered."

"Speaking of which, are you still going out later?"

"It depends on the arrangement of the gin. You'd better work for the rum now."

"Well, my degree of freedom is much higher than yours. If it wasn't for that gentleman's order through Rum, I would actually have no need to listen to it. But Eguchi, working with Gin must be very hard."

"Well, it's a lot of work. But if it's done well, he won't have any complaints."

Hearing Eguchi's answer, Bourbon was in a complicated mood for a while.

As an undercover agent, working under Gin Jiu's hands is the worst - because they don't have that man's cold-blooded cruelty, and they also take into account that some targets cannot be shot.

Therefore, once in contact with Gin, many undercover agents will be caught.

Those who can partner with gin for a long time-such as Chianti, Cohen, Calvados, etc., are undoubtedly top-notch killers in the dark.

Eguchi can adapt, is it a good thing or a bad thing...

The girl seemed to sense the reason for his silence.

"Bourbon doesn't like gin?"

"Scotland doesn't want you to be like him." The young man made a detour, and Scotland was never a taboo between the two of them, "That's why he wants you to go to school."

Bourbon knew he was betting.

Every time, he was betting on the weight of Scotland in Eguchi's heart.

After several years of getting along with each other, coupled with his revenge on Rye together, he had to admit that Scotland's bold trust was not wrong.

Eguchi will have people he cares about, will choose to make concessions for those people he cares about, and will have the emotions that a "person" should have.In this way, it is very different from gin.

... He shouldn't be comparing her to him.

"I see. But..." Eguchi said remindingly, "The work still needs to be done. After all, we are still different from Scotland."

On the surface, they are still members of the organization.

No matter how soft their hearts are, they are still darkened.

Eguchi didn't dislike bourbon.Even if the other party didn't treat her well when they first met.But most of the time, it's just a knife mouth and a tofu heart, and it helps a lot.

It was even more so after Scotland left... as if they were each other's pillars.

Not that intimate though.Eguchi thought.But it's a good relationship, right?

She is notoriously unsociable in the organization. So far, she has a lot of acquaintances who have partnered with her, but there are very few friends.

Cohen, who might be silent together, counts as one.

Scotland was gone, and Eguchi didn't want to put Bourbon in that predicament.

...Maybe it's also because I don't want to be too lonely.

"I understand what you mean." I don't know if it's a disguise or sincerity, Bourbon's smile is a bit shadowed under the shadow of the light, like a beast staring at its prey, his eyes are dark, "We are different from them of."

And who exactly this "us" and "them" refers to is something to be considered.

But when he warned Bourbon, Eguchi never expected that the one who fell into trouble first was not the other party, but himself.

It was an event that shocked the world that happened not long after——

A "big earthquake" made Kanagawa completely disappear on the map of Japan.

The death of 70 people, the huge crater, the collapse of the economy, and the disintegration of wives and children have become nothing more than ordinary things.

Not only the police were busy going around because of this, but even the organization inevitably became chaotic because of the loss of a large number of manpower and contacts in Kanagawa.

But it is also because of this that some people are picking up interests in the chaos.

Bourbon, who works two jobs at the same time, is really busy solving various problems, so as to avoid the organization that starts counting the number of people noticing anything, he can't even step out of the house, and can only command the police remotely.

And Tiangong is not good, trying to add another kick to the already bad world, so that Kanto is shrouded in a violent storm.

For personal reasons, Bourbon emailed Eguchi and asked her if she was involved in the incident.But when he got busy, he also forgot to confirm whether there was a reply.

By the time I noticed a phone call again, it was already dark in the middle of the night.

"Hello... Eguchi?"

"........."

"estuary?"

Bourbon frowned and straightened his body.

It's not going to happen, is it?

"Eguchi? Can you hear me? Where are you?"

"...the door."

The girl's voice was so weak, like a homeless stray dog ​​whimpering... The young man was taken aback, hurriedly cleaned up the documents on the desktop, and then rushed to open the door.

His hair was dripping with water, and Eguchi, who had been severely whipped by the wind and rain, appeared in front of his eyes.

"……estuary?"

Hearing the voice calling her, she put down the hand holding the phone and raised her head.

Eguchi's face was very pale, and he stared blankly at the surprised young man in the room.

...is not the same as usual.

It was like someone ripped out her soul.

"Bo... Ben."

She made a dry sound, and reached out to grab the dark-skinned youth.

The strength can almost be said to grab the clothes on his chest.

As if only with such strength...she could catch it.

Grab your connection to the world.

"...dead... that person..."

A sob escaped from her throat, and the girl's body swayed.

The water droplets on the bangs fell and slid across the face.

"I... most importantly... died..."

Her king.

died.
