[Lord Conan] Bourbon's Lover is Japan

Chapter 9 The Progress of Time

He is good at pretending to have a warm and handsome face that women can rest assured by looking at, and talking to a menacing head teacher is not a problem for Bourbon.

He easily made up a lie to convince the other party that Eguchi's body had a special condition, but he didn't want to expose it in front of his classmates, so he often left the classroom suddenly.

He also produced a doctor's certificate forged by a hospital under the organization's management.

Eguchi watched from the sidelines the whole time, looking at the opponent's methods in amazement.

Under Bourbon's persuasion and overt and secret explanations, the homeroom teacher completed Eguchi's "coming out of an orphanage, being adopted by an older but unrelated brother, because he was often in poor health, so he didn't go to school very much, so he was not good at socializing, but I love to learn, so I listen to the lectures as much as possible"... such a complicated and compassionate life experience.

So the indignant gaze on Eguchi turned into a faintly pitiful and apologetic look, which seemed to inspire the motherhood in the teacher's heart.

Eguchi felt that there was a reason why Bourbon could become Bourbon.

The power of words and images is simply too powerful.

The time when the teacher wants to meet the parents is the club time after school.So after the meeting, Eguchi simply left with him.

However, her schoolbag was still in the classroom, so she had to go and get it. It happened to be on the same path as her. Bourbon walked side by side with her, and students passed by from time to time, looking at her curiously.

Unlike Scotland, Bourbon seldom took the initiative to learn about Eguchi's campus life. Yesterday was his first visit to this school.

The atmosphere on campus is lively and full of youthful atmosphere.The young children here only need to worry about their studies and feelings, pure, simple, innocent and happy, so relaxed.

Standing here, it seems that there is no need to think about those dark things.

No wonder Scotland wants to use schools to correct Yamazaki.

He stood outside the door, with his pockets in his pockets, waiting for Eguchi to pack up.She acted quickly and came out immediately without speaking to the few people left in the classroom.

Bourbon glanced at the classmates inside, and several of them whispered in surprise after seeing him with Eguchi, probably because they were curious about the identity of this mixed-race outsider.

But the eyes of a few people brought back bad memories for him.

"Yamazaki, just now the teacher said that you often go out alone, and that you can't make friends is also a lie to Scotland?" He asked jokingly, seemingly casually.

"...There are a few familiar ones." Eguchi still chose a roundabout way of saying, "Friends are impossible. It is impossible to make friends here with our identities."

There was no fluctuation in her eyes when she spoke, and she lost her expression as if she were a designed robot.

She turned her head and thought for a while, then added.

"Even if I want to make friends, the conditions are not allowed, such as being invited to go to the video game center after school... I don't have time. So just the current relationship is fine."

What she said was too realistic and ruthless, Bourbon frowned, and wanted to say a few words of comfort, but he couldn't speak.

Eguchi is right.

It is very difficult for a person to try to climb out after entering the darkness, even if he stretches out his hand to ask for help... his palm has long been stained with the mud of the swamp.

You have to move out by yourself.

However, in the process, you will have to experience a sense of distance that seems unreachable like now.

Scotland did nothing wrong.It's just that the process is too painful.

Seemingly aware of the hesitation on Bourbon's face, Eguchi stroked the strap of the schoolbag on his shoulder and said to him.

"It's all right. We're not the same kind. It's good to have you and Scotland."

In turn, was comforted.

Bourbon pursed his lips and raised his hand to pat her on the head.

And as expected, he was included in the circle of friends by Yamazaki... This kind of trust finally softened his heart that wanted to be cold.

"Don't push yourself. Scotland would say the same if it knew."

"Ah."

It was probably because the space for getting along alone during the business trip in Scotland worked well. When he came back, the relationship between Bourbon and Eguchi was not so rigid (although it was basically Bourbon's unilateral indifference to others).

Scotland rubbed the stubble on his chin, thinking that since the two of them need some opportunities to get along alone to improve their relationship, then in the future, he was originally responsible for the task of cooperating with Bourbon, in fact, it would not be impossible to share more with Eguchi.

In exchange, he could take away some of Eguchi's missions.

I don’t know if this kind of random bumping method is useful. On the surface, Scotland can’t see that the two of them have made further changes—but at least now I’m talking to Bourbon, that is, Furutani Rei, to let Yamazaki become an assistant in the future. He was not as vigilant and resistant as before about human affairs.

Two and a half years passed like this.

For two and a half years, Eguchi and Bourbon jointly concealed the fact of playing truant from Scotland, which was finally exposed by accidentally bumping into each other during an urgent mission for Gin.

At that time, Gin did not announce the list of participants, so when Scotland saw Eguchi, he subconsciously asked, "Aren't you going to school today?"

Qin Jiu scoffed at the fact that Eguchi was thrown into Scotland and sent to school.

But Eguchi never delayed his mission because of this, so he just showed his disdain and didn't bother to suspend Scotland's house-like orders.

However, the matter did not end there.Gin's nose faintly smelled the smell of mice.

So in the subtle influence of two and a half years, another thing happened——

"Recently, do I have fewer tasks with you?"

Eguchi asked casually one day when the three of them were eating together.

"Snipers don't need to get together." Scotland smiled, "And Xiao Jiangkou has to accommodate the school time, of course we will stagger it."

"Is that so..."

Eguchi still felt that there was something wrong that he couldn't explain, but he couldn't tell for a while, so he just lowered his head and bit the tip of his chopsticks in front of the rice in a daze.

"Let's not talk about that, how is Xiao Jiangkou's preparation for the recent exam? Is he about to go to university?"

"Do you have any ideas about what major to study in university?" Bourbon also asked, "Is there a dream school you want to go to?"

No one expected that Scotland's plan to let Yamazaki go to school went so smoothly, and she even reached the point where she was about to graduate and go to university.

Eguchi thought about it.

"Dongdu University Medical Department, it will be more convenient to deal with injuries this way. It will be more convenient to help you deal with it."

"Do you want to be a surgeon?"

"Hmm..." Eguchi paused, then raised his head and asked, "Would it be inappropriate?"

On the one hand, it is a killer who takes the lives of others, and on the other hand, it is a doctor who saves others.

She didn't really want to be a doctor, but if she successfully obtained a university degree, then she would definitely have a disguised identity in the future.

Like Bourbon, he's also a private eye.In the case of Scotland, it is an unknown bass player who occasionally publishes some works on the Internet.

Scotland still remembers that when she asked Eguchi this question, she had no aspirations for a future career, but only longed to become a first-class sniper.

He was somewhat relieved.

"No, as long as it is Xiao Eguchi's dream, of course you can do anything."

These words completely dispelled Eguchi's thoughts.

Her dream is not to be a doctor, nor is it to be a killer.

She came here to do all this for the righteousness in her heart... Yes, in order to complete the task as soon as possible, she must choose a high-efficiency path instead of "suitable or not" or "dream or not".

So realistic and ruthless.

The topic of university was not brought up again, Eguchi entered the state of preparing for the exam, and in order not to be harassed by tasks during the exam, she added tasks to herself one month in advance, hoping to apply for leave with the boss.

Yamazaki's reason is very legitimate. Although he doesn't know what the BOSS thinks about the fact that the members of the organization are going to go to college, he agrees with Eguchi's behavior and allows her to be the commander of the multi-person mission.

So it was not accidental that the assignment of tasks was mentioned at the dinner table that day.

Eguchi looked and looked at the task list on the intranet of the system, and realized the problem.

Not only were the three of them separated, but even the content of the mission was much different from the past.

Even if Eguchi proposed to work overtime, most of the tasks assigned to her by BOSS were trivial and far away from Tokyo business.

"...the information I can get in touch with is less?"

she muttered in her room.

Could it be that his identity was suspected?

But they haven't done anything suspicious lately...or is it because Scepter4 has leaked information?

No, not possible.

Only the king knew about it.Even the king's confidant Shantiao Gangyi couldn't get access to the information related to him.

After leaving the green group, all traces of myself should be erased.

So why?

Or is it that the person being suspected is not actually himself at all?
