Gin snorted at Sake's words, but he didn't refute her. "You just like to play around so much like those people from the intelligence team."
"It can't be helped. I'm a bit tired from work, so I want to take a break, so don't disturb me, Gin." Hikari Yuki let out a low chuckle. She could sense Ai was trembling badly in her arm, but she still held her firmly yet tenderly as she patted the other party's back to soothe her.
After all, Sake has to uphold her image in front of other members of the organization.
"Besides, I should be the one asking this question to you." Hikari Yuki tilted her head. "Don't tell me that you want to take a break in this residential area. I don't remember hearing you have a residence around her."
"There's a mission, don't disturb me, Sake."
"Ok, ok~."
Hikari Yuki shrugged and then walked forward, passing by Gin in a nonchalant way. The other party also didn't seem to have any intention to talk with Sake.
Only Vodka's voice could be heard as he asked, "Brother, is that really Sake? But isn't he…?"
"Shut up, Vodka."
And Vodka could only shut up.
Hikari Yuki sighed and continued to walk forward with Haibara Ai in her arms, walking around the street as the girl's trembling subsided slowly but surely.
"Have you calmed down?" Hikari Yuki asked, her voice was soft and gentle.
"Um." Haibara Ai raised her head, her eyes red from crying. When Hikari Yuki was called by Gin, she could hear and see that this person changed her face completely. It looked like a completely different person was present.
This made her confused.
Which side of Hikari Yuki is real?
The gentle side or this cruel side?
But as she was being held gently and firmly, completely protected from Gin, Ai seemed to have the answer in her heart.
"Are you really Sake?" Haibara Ai asked the question she wanted to know the most.
Sake.
Sake, also known as Japanese rice wine, offers a diverse range of flavors, but generally presents a slightly sweet, clean taste with hints of umami and a smooth, light body.
But in the organization, this represented a famous killer not any worse than Gin. Because Sake was active in the other regions and not Japan, not many people here heard about her. But Haibara Ai heard about this codename when she participated in the joint mission to Europe.
At that time, she was staying at the back and saw a horrible scene that she would never forget in her entire life.
The entire corridor was filled with corpses, all killed in clean blows.
And they said that there's only one person responsible for the action part of this operation: Sake.
The ultimate murderer, yet there was no evidence of his murder in the slightest bit in the hands of the authorities.
He could appear in front of them and they would not catch her nor suspect her, even though he had just finished a murder right in front of their faces just a few minutes ago.
Because no evidence would point at Sake. Someone else will take the blame or it would remain unsolved case forever.
It was terrifying.
