After changing back to her regular clothes, Natsumi Kasaka greeted the manager, who was not much older than her, opened the door, and left the pastry shop.
This store has a good location and the daily business is very good, but the store manager still insists on opening the store from 8 am to 4 pm from Monday to Saturday. She does not plan to extend the business hours to make more money. She believes that entertainment and rest are equally important.
Natsumi Kasaka agrees with this point of view. This is the reason why she left Japan and settled in Paris - compared with Western European countries, Japan is really too curly...
Natsumi Kasaka was in a happy mood after getting off work early. She crossed the street and came to a coffee shop.
"Please give me a cup of hot chocolate and a piece of Napoleon cake."
Kasaka Natsumi is a frequent visitor here, because she happens to be on her way home, and she often comes here to have afternoon tea on her way from get off work.
"good."
The person in charge of the cashier was familiar with her and quickly placed her order.
Kasaka Natsumi took the receipt and turned around to look in the store. There were more people in the coffee shop than usual today. She chose a round table near the store door and sat down.
She put down her bag and looked at the people passing by outside the window. After waiting for about five minutes, the waiter came over with her things.
"Ma'am, here are the drinks and cake you want."
Hearing this slightly awkward French pronunciation, Kasaka Natsumi raised her head curiously.
What caught her eye was a young and handsome face. When she saw that face clearly, her eyes widened slightly.
This is a handsome mixed-race man with blond hair, wearing the work clothes of this coffee shop. He is standing at the table, the afternoon sun falls on his blond hair, and an earring on his left ear shines brightly.
Seeing her staring at him like this, he smiled sheepishly, looking very embarrassed.
"Sorry, ma'am, I'm not very fluent in French... I made you laugh."
Hearing his voice clearly and seeing those beautiful purple-gray eyes, Kasaka Natsumi came back to her senses.
"Ah, no..."
She shook her head. In fact, she was not stunned because of his French...
"Are you Japanese? I hear your French pronunciation has a Japanese accent."
Kasaka Natsumi showed a friendly smile. Good-looking members of the opposite sex are always lovable, especially this man who smiled so kindly and tenderly that she couldn't help but want to say a few more words to him.

"...Miss Kasaka originally settled in Paris when she was 20 years old?"
"Yes, because I like the culture here very much..."
…
In the apartment, Jing Baiye wore headphones and clearly heard the exchanges between a man and a woman from the other side.
The male voice is Toru Amuro, and the female voice is his target - the owner of the Memory Egg, Natsumi Kasaka.
[…Amuro’s efficiency is really good. He just applied for the job yesterday, and today he started talking to her.] Jing Baiye found Amuro Toru’s speed incredible.
Originally, he was worried about how Tohru Amuro would complete the mission.
Jing Baiye likes Toru Amuro very much, but even if he likes him again, he will not help his subordinates cheat in the code name assessment. After confirming that Shi Kaobing is not a member of the zoo organization, he cannot interfere in this assessment at all, and can only
Watching from the side.
Gu Ju
How many people does Kasaka Natsumi have in her family, her daily itinerary, the outing time of the housekeeper and servants, the security measures of the apartment, her interpersonal relationships, where she usually likes to go... The organization only provided the address for Toru Amuro, and the rest
He could only find a way to investigate on his own.
This is France, not Japan. Even if you are usually eloquent and good at formulaic words, it is all in vain if you don't understand the language.
They arrived in Paris in early October, and the mission was until the end of November. He had fifty days.
Jing Baiye was mentally prepared to finish the job in November, but she didn't expect that today...
[You have always underestimated your subordinates.] The system said quietly.
The white night is silent.
He recalled Amuro Toru's arrangements for the next few days in Paris.
On the first day, they went to Rum's place. On the second day, Toru Amuro followed Natsumi Kasaka and confirmed that she went to the coffee shop he often went to. On the third day, he made up for the French language commonly used in restaurants. On the fourth day, he successfully applied for the job. On the fifth day, today, he successfully contacted the mission target in a way that would avoid suspicion.
[Maybe.] Jing Baiye sighed.
Because of Toru Amuro's strong sense of insecurity and dependence, he subconsciously regarded him as someone who needed protection.
He raised his hand and touched the earphone, which was connected to a bug.
The bug looks like an earring, a new piece of equipment sent from Curaçao. Once put on, it requires the correct fingerprint to be pressed on it to unlock it. If you try to tear it off, you will be injected with paralyzing venom. Currently, Toru Amuro is wearing it. On the ears - he asked to wear them on his own initiative.
Toru Amuro didn't even have pierced ears. To wear this earring-type bug, he had to pierce his ears first.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Fangtani Rei's work at the coffee shop ended.
"So you wore earrings today? They are so beautiful and match your eyes." The clerk at the cashier complimented.
Fang Guling's smile faltered, and he felt aggrieved and annoyed at being forced to be eavesdropped.
"Really? I think so too."
Toru Amuro smiled, his eyes extremely soft, and he raised his hand to lightly touch the earrings that the young boss put on him personally.
Holding every move in front of him for him to explore, he is always concerned about what's going on around him, this feeling is really... very good.
Rei Fangtani walked towards the apartment, trying his best to ignore the discomfort caused by the bug, and mentally reviewed the information he had obtained this afternoon.
This is a well-educated woman, gentle and polite in words and deeds. She should have a good relationship with the servants at home;
She ordered directly without looking at the menu. The cashier who likes to sell did not recommend any dishes to her. It seemed that she was a regular customer of this store;
The fingerprints were already in hand, taken from the knives and forks she had used;
She carried a small shoulder bag with her to store her mobile phone. She took out her wallet when ordering and paying. Because she was far away at the time, she couldn't tell whether the key was in her wallet...
After integrating this information, Fangtani Zero went to the fourth floor of the apartment building and took out the key to open the door.
Angstra, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, raised her head. Toru Amuro entered the living room and closed the door of the apartment.
Seeing her junior boss take off the headphones from his ears, Toru Amuro put her bag on the chair with a normal expression.
"Are you hungry? I'm going to make dinner right now."
Angstra looked forward to it: "What are you going to cook?"
"Mrs. Vincent in the kitchen is very generous. She taught me several French dishes and desserts." Toru Amuro looked at Angostela with a smile, "including her best croissants."
There were two reasons for him to work in that coffee shop. The first was for the mission, and the second was to know how to make bread.
Angstra really liked the croissants in that store. When he had breakfast the next day, his expression was happier than eating cakes made in Scotland. This made Toru Amuro see it in his eyes and silently remember it in his heart.
