Ding!
They arrived at the top floor and Hikari Yuki led Amuro Toru to her apartment. She opened the door familiarly and blinked her eyes at Morofushi Hiromitsu, who was waiting for her with documents in his hand.
The documents dropped when Morofushi Hiromitsu saw Amuro Toru following behind Hikari Yuki and then he restrained himself.
Because he felt that he was about to faint.
He couldn't get closer to his friends.
This is one of the rules to be a ghost around Kurokawa Saki.
Morofushi Hiromitsu took a deep breath and picked the documents to the side table. He will wait until Hikari Yuki is done talking with Amuro Toru.
"Please wait for a while." Hikari Yuki walked to her bedroom and came out in less than 5 seconds with a box. The things inside the box had been neatly arranged and from the way it looked like, it was also commonly used.
"Thank you. I can treat my injuries on my own," Amuro Toru said politely.
"Then I'll prepare dinner…" Hikari Yuki muttered as she walked to the kitchen only to find that Morofushi Hiromitsu had already left dinner.
Hikari Yuki: "..."
She looked at Morofushi Hiromitsu helplessly but the other party only shrugged. Even Morofushi Hiromitsu was not sure whether Amuro Toru could see the food that he had prepared. After all, from the moment they all became ghosts and followed behind Kurokawa Saki, they never tried to get close to their former friends and family again.
Everyone was waiting, waiting for the day when they could face the sun openly again without concealment.
But for that, they would have to wait until Kurokawa Saki finished with her work.
They were already close to the finishing stage and no mistake was allowed at this point.
'Well, let's just try.'
Hikari Yuki took the food back to the living room and saw that Amuro Toru had already bandaged himself. She looked at the tools that were used and guessed that it should be a gunshot wound. The bullet was taken out and should have been kept by Amuro Toru so that it would not scare her.
Is he really treating her as an ordinary person?
Hikari Yuki felt somewhat doubtful, but she would pretend that she didn't notice anything.
"Well, my friend had already prepared the food, so I don't have to cook again," Hikari Yuki said as she put the plates on the table.
"Is it porridge?" Amuro Toru looked at the dish in surprise. "Are you not used to the food in Japan, Miss Hikari?"
"Why do you think so?"
"Well, I see that Miss Hikari's attire is closer to the foreigner's and this brand is quite famous in England." Amuro Toru pointed at Hikari Yuki's clothes. "And the way the room is decorated, it's quite different from how most Japanese would arrange their home…"
Kurokawa Saki felt embarrassed when Amuro Toru pointed out so many things. After all, she was not exactly Japanese in her previous life and when she came to this world, some of her living habits still followed her habit from before.
But because she was living with Morofushi Hiromitsu as neighbors and he helped her to clean up the house from time to time when she had to leave the safe house during emergency, Kurokawa Saki also learned many things.
The problem is, she was really not in Japan for nearly 3 years.
Thanks to that, some things she did were still influenced by the place where she stayed.
"I'm a mixed blood," Hikari Yuki said helplessly. Both her real identity and the identity forged by the Interpol stated that she's mixed blood. This was because while her appearance is that of an Asian, her blue eyes and white skin were clear indications that she was not pure Japanese. Though the latter was not that obvious.
Of course, the country they chose for her fake identity was different from her real identity.
"And I studied overseas for a while, so I might have brought back some of the habits there. But it's amazing for you to be able to know so much, Mr. Amuro." Hikari Yuki clapped her hands like a young woman who was interested.
"It's nothing much, Miss Hikari."
"Then Mr. Amuro should be a meticulous person with great taste." Hikari Yuki's eyes curved slightly. "The clothes you're wearing are the recent model from XXX magazine and the matching color indicates that you have great taste. Even though I'm not sure about your work, since you have such a sharp insight, are you a famous detective, Mr. Amuro?"
Amuro Toru looked genuinely surprised. "I didn't expect Miss Hikari to know so much about fashion. As for my work… I can't say that I'm famous, but I'm certainly not bad at my work."
"I need to know these to be able to chat with my friends." Hikari Yuki divided the food into two and put it on the table and pushed it over to Amuro Toru, clearly not accepting any rejection. "Are you interested, Mr. Amuro?"
"Yes." Amuro Toru looked at the food pushed to him and he knew that he had to eat.
"In that case, can you tell me the cases you have worked on in exchange for my stories with my friends?" Hikari Yuki asked with a bright smile.
"It'll be my pleasure." Amuro Toru tasted the food and his movement froze for a moment. The food tasted quite similar to what Morofushi Hiromitsu used to make for him, but there were still some subtle differences.
Amuro Toru lowered his eyes slightly, concealing the complicated emotion that passed by his eyes.
When Amuro Toru raised his head again, he had become the perfect Amuro Toru who's gentlemanly, kind, and humorous.
And in front of him is the ordinary Hikari Yuki who had graduated from university overseas and had a lot of friends.
None of the signs that they were Bourbon and Sake who fought each other nearly to death before remained.
"These two people are truly great actors…" Kenan looked at the two people from outside speechlessly and then looked away. Both of them were very perceptive. Even though only Kurokawa Saki could see them, but Amuro Toru might become suspicious if he felt their gazes.
"There are times when I feel it's a pity that Yuki didn't stay in the intelligence department. She could definitely obtain a lot more information if she stayed there." Aunt Kira shook her head.
"Her ability is better suited for the action team." Morofushi Hiromitsu disagreed. "Besides, it's tiring enough for her to act as Sake every single time. Staying in the action team meant that she didn't have to play word games all day long."
"...And she's not playing word games right now?"
The three of them looked at Hikari Yuki and Amuro Toru who were chatting with each other and fell into silence.
Naturally, they could tell that Amuro Toru was testing Hikari Yuki and vice versa. The two people who clearly didn't trust each other were able to sit face to face and ate the food given by the other party calmly.
One had to say that their mental quality was extremely strong.
"Why did he dare to eat the food given by Yuki?" Kenan asked in confusion.
"Because the food clearly came from the same plate and Yuki used the same spoon to pick the food. In this way, he could be sure that she didn't do anything to the food," Morofushi Hiromitsu said calmly. "Of course, there's a chance that she might have taken an antidote should she poison the food, so he's watching her carefully."
Kenan and Aunt Kira: "..."
The lives of the intelligence personnel are very tiring.
"Moreover, I think that he should have tasted the food and could determine that it's not poisoned." Morofushi Hiromitsu shook his head.
Neither was willing to poison the other party, so it would be impossible for them to find any problem with the food.
In this way, the dinner passed by peacefully.
