Mihua Department Store is located opposite Mihua Central Hospital. It is a large shopping mall that integrates clothing stores, retail stores, and restaurants. Miyano Akemi, who is 20 years old and currently studying in college, often goes shopping here with her classmates.
Today she came to meet her sister Miyano Shiho, and her sister's friend, a young man who was also sent to study abroad by the organization.
Miyano Shiho is much smarter than her sister, which makes her proud and worried. She is proud that her sister is so powerful, but she is worried about whether it will be dangerous for her sister to take over the research left by her parents. Due to her special status, her sister will also
He cannot live with her, but lives under the protection and surveillance of the organization, and can only see her once every two weeks.
Out of politeness and the sense of responsibility of the only adult, Miyano Akemi arrived at the agreed place early and waited.
She took out her cell phone and wanted to call her sister to ask when she would arrive, but after thinking about it, she put it down.
Unlike Miyano Shiho, who graduated from college at the age of thirteen and received a code name, Miyano Akemi is just an ordinary member of the lower class who is also on the fringes, perhaps because of her lack of ability, or perhaps because she feels that she is being forced to do things by the students who are studying.
It will attract the attention of the teacher and the school. Until now, Miyano Akemi has never killed anyone, or even really participated in the organization's actions. Her hands are still clean.
Miyano Akemi opened the encrypted photo album on her phone, and there was a photo from a year ago.
This was taken at the graduation ceremony last year. The boy was one year older than her sister and graduated one year earlier: the background was the green space on campus, a boy with black hair and a black academic uniform, and his sister in regular clothes beside him.
The two of them were not holding each other or touching each other. They were at least half a meter apart and stood there stiffly facing the camera.
According to Miyano Akemi's aesthetics, this boy looks quite good. Although his skin is pale and his left eye is strangely hidden under his bangs, he looks sickly and weak, as if he will fall to the ground at any time and be sent to rescue.
, but it’s really good-looking.
She exited the photo album and opened the email she sent after making an appointment with Miyano Shiho last night.
[Gray Crow, this is the name he used when he was studying. Now his code name is ‘Angstra Bitters’. 】
"Clo..."
Miyano Akemi is not a foreign language remnant. It can be seen that the katakana of this surname is crow in English. In English, it means crow, and in Japanese, it can be a homophone for black.
The meaning of the entire name is: Gray Crow.

10:57 a.m., Mihua Department Store.
A Bentley stopped at the intersection. Miyano Shiho got out of the back seat, walked to the front and whispered a few words to the bodyguard responsible for driving, then straightened his hair and clothes, and trotted towards Miyano Akemi, who waved to her.
past.
"Sister." Miyano Shiho is sometimes said to be a cold beauty, but she doesn't hesitate to smile to the people she likes.
Miyano Akemi touched her hair: "How have you been these days?"
"Same as before." Miyano Shiho couldn't reveal information related to drug research to his sister, so he could only avoid questions in this regard: "Where is Angstra? Isn't he here yet?"
Miyano Akemi glanced at her watch: "There are still three minutes before the agreed 11 o'clock. And he doesn't know my appearance, right? He may have arrived a long time ago, but he is waiting elsewhere. Do you want to call him?
one time?"
"No need." Miyano Shiho looked across the road with sharp eyes, "I saw him."
Miyano Akemi looked in that direction and saw the boy in the photo standing at the intersection, waiting for the traffic light with a group of passers-by. From this point of view, he was quite abiding by the traffic rules, so she saw Gin crossing the road directly.
Yes, not just once.
After a while, the green light turned on, and the boy from the organization code-named Angstra crossed the road and walked directly in front of them.
"Long time no see, Shirley." He greeted, "If we are outside, wouldn't it be better to just call you by your name?"
"Anything is fine," Miyano Shiho said.
"Then let's call it 'Shiho'. Just call me by my name. Don't use my code name when we go out to eat." Angstra smiled casually. He turned to look at Miyano Akemi, "You
Is this Shiho’s sister, Miss Miyano Akemi?”
Miyano Akemi looked at him while they were talking: he was not short, a little taller than her wearing high heels, his skin was still the unhealthy paleness in the photo, and his figure was thin and weak, maybe due to injuries.
He was injured, and his left eye was wrapped with a bandage. The only exposed right eye was a rare crimson color.
I don't know why, but his arms and legs look quite thin, but his face... looks good from the front, but from the side, there is a bulging mass of flesh, which feels soft to the touch and feels good to the touch.
Hearing him mention herself, Miyano Akemi calmed down, smiled and stretched out her hand: "Hello, I am Miyano Akemi, nice to meet you."
Angstra stretched out her hand to shake her, and heard her continue to add: "My sister would mention you in emails before, saying that you helped her a lot when she was studying in the United States, so I have always wanted to meet you,
I want to thank you in person."
"It's nothing." Not only did Angostela's face look soft and easy to touch, but his current personality was also quite normal. He looked around and paused at the corner, "Let's go in and talk.
It’s inconvenient to stand at the intersection.”

Miyano Shiho and Sakai Byakuya used pseudonyms when they were studying abroad, and Gray Crow was the name he used at that time.
Gray was chosen by himself, and Crowe was given by Belmode. It is not known whether this surname refers to the crow that symbolizes the organization, or whether it comes from someone else.
His real name throughout his three lives has been Jing Baiye, but because of the different countries, the pronunciation will be different. Not many people in the organization know his real name, which is Boss, Rum, Belmod and Gin.
Shirley, who was studying, didn't know, and she didn't ask.
It's not that he deliberately concealed it, it's just that he was warned not to reveal his real name when he was studying. After graduation, he was given a code name. After that, everyone called him by the code name and had no chance to use his original name.
"Are you hungry? If so, we will go to the reserved restaurant now." Miyano Akemi asked with a smile.
Miyano Shiho looked at Jing Baiye and found that something was slightly wrong with his face, and the hand that was originally on his side reached into his pocket.
...Her sister may not have noticed it, but she could recognize it at a glance—during his studies in the United States, he would show this expression whenever he encountered uncertain dangers or troubles.
The two looked at each other and quickly looked away. Miyano Shiho smiled obediently at her sister and said, "I'm a little hungry, sister, let's go there now."
"I remember that store is...wait for me, I'll go check out the floor layout." Miyano Akemi, who had no idea about the exchange between the two, walked towards the floor guide sign next to the elevator.
Jie Baiye stared at the greenery on the other side in a daze, not talking to the people around him; Miyano Shiho glanced at his sister's back to make sure she couldn't see it, and then took out his phone to unlock the screen.
[There is a suspicious white man following us from the first floor and still taking secret photos.]
"..."
Miyano Shiho looked at this email, which was typed blindly without a code name, and deleted it calmly. He then raised his phone and shined it at the black screen. He raised his hand to straighten it out and said that he was not in a mess.
Bangs, it seems like a girl who loves beauty just picked up her mobile phone and used it as a mirror.
