As she set up the sniper rifle, Aikawa Saki was looking around to find Morofushi Hiromitsu.
The sky is darkening as if anticipating what would happen and people's vision would be obstructed.
Aikawa Saki looked at the police officer who hid away and planned on sending the message. Her eyes trembled slightly, but her fingers were firm.
Bang!
The person was shot down, but Aikawa Saki didn't know whether he had sent the message or not. Moreover, she didn't know where Morofushi Hiromitsu was.
'Other players didn't seem to take on the options of saving these people… why?'
While waiting with her phone beside her, Aikawa Saki was brainstorming. Latching onto popular characters was another way to gain popularity.
No. 7 had done that and it seemed useful.
But Aikawa Saki remembered something.
Even though no. 7 Became more popular, he was never the main point of discussion.
'I see…'
'They don't want to have more people to share popularity.'
Saving people might indeed increase their popularity. But it would be limited as the cameras couldn't follow those who were not the main characters. It would instead follow the other characters.
In such a situation, it wouldn't be cost effective to save people.
…Especially if the saving method is hidden like her.
Aikawa Saki: "..."
She rubbed her forehead and sighed as she looked at the distance.
It's raining.
The calculation for sniping will be even harsher in this condition and Aikawa Saki furrowed her eyebrows.
Can she make it?
She's nervous.
Brrt.
Her phone lit up and when she saw the order to hunt down Scotch, there was no surprise in her eyes. She found that mole too late and he had already finished sending the message.
What she could do is to trust her teammates and hope they worked fast.
She operated her phone and set up a message there, ready to be sent to Rum when it's necessary.
Sake is not under Gin or Rum.
After all, her entry was somewhat of a mistake and she's somewhat free in the organization. Coupled with her money loving trait that she purposely showed…
It could be said that Aikawa Saki was doing extremely well.
…And it's precisely because of her temperament that she somehow avoided being suspected as an undercover agent. Even her contact looked at her with an indescribable expression when Aikawa Saki gave that report.
*cough*
She looked around at various roofs, trying to find Scotch and Rye.
Before long, her eyes landed on the two figures in the distance, her expression tightening.
It's too far…
It was beyond her range, around 2,500 yards.
Aikawa Saki chose this apartment because of its height, but now she felt that she had made a mistake.
'calm down.'
There's only one chance.
And she could not miss.
In this tense situation, Aikawa Saki focused her attention on the two people. When she saw Scotch snatched the gun, her expression was tense and then she gritted her teeth.
No matter what, she will not give up.
Bang!
The trigger was pulled and the bullet came straight to Morofushi Hiromitsu's hand, scratching the back of his hand and prompting him to drop the gun.
Bam!
The door was opened and Bourbon came in, taking in this image.
Aikawa Saki looked at her phone and the moment she saw the message from her contact about successful insertion and sending the file to her, she swiftly sent it to Rum. Looking at the two people in the distance, Aikawa Saki used Morofushi Hiromitsu's phone number and called him with a new phone.
So in the tense atmosphere between the three people, Scotch's phone suddenly lit up.
It was an unfamiliar number.
Morofushi Hiromitsu debated whether to answer or not before he finally gritted his teeth and picked it up.
Aikawa Saki activated her voice changing skill and immediately assumed the voice of a man as she spoke, "Thank you for your cooperation, Scotch. The real undercover agent has been apprehended and the wanted order will be revoked soon."
Morofushi Hiromitsu: "..." What?
His eyes widened slightly in disbelief.
"Tell Bourbon and Rye to check their phones. They should have received the information."
Morofushi Hiromitsu looked at the two people and spoke dryly, "Check your phones."
The two people who were wary and skeptical took out their phones. The wanted order has been revoked and there was Rum's angry message. He told Bourbon to kill a man who looked a lot like Morofushi Hiromitsu but was just a low ranked member.
Rye received a similar message and he looked at Morofushi Hiromitsu deeply.
He suspected that Morofushi Hiromitsu is a real undercover agent.
The performance just now had basically confirmed it.
So this person is… a bait?
"Ah, it seems that it's a mistake to come here." Bourbon sounded lazy and murderous. "What a waste of time. I have to go and chase the real undercover agent."
There was a hint of gnashing teeth, but Morofushi Hiromitsu who knew Bourbon well naturally understood that his childhood friend was actually delighted.
"This, um…" Morofushi Hiromitsu didn't know how to address the person on the other end of the call.
"Need not to know, Scotch," Aikawa Saki said while looking at her own phone, which was filled with Rum's curses in his message to her. After all, she basically humiliated him in her message, saying that his moles were nothing special and her connection was better.
Since Sake is a mercenary on the surface, it was obvious that she naturally has some connection with the police officers from various countries. But she rarely met them and she contacted them only for the sake of money or information.
After all, Sake still did other missions to earn money from time to time.
As long as it didn't harm the organization's interest, they didn't usually care what their members were doing. This is why Sake was usually quite brazen in her work.
While in truth, this was actually a cover for her police officers work….
*cough*
At least, that was how it looked like.
Sake was typing the message as she replied to Morofushi Hiromitsu, "Cherish your life more. You have more companions."
Tut!
She hung up the phone and rubbed her cheek.
To be honest, she didn't originally plan to tell him this much. After all, Aikawa Saki knew that it wouldn't be good to expose her position so early. But seeing him decisively snatch the gun from Rye's hand and point it at his own heart…
She couldn't help it.
Seeing it from the manga and seeing it firsthand gave her a completely different feeling.
Her experience as a police officer made her unable to watch other people died in front of her, so she couldn't help it.
Looking at the three people in the distance, Aikawa Saki lowered her eyes and cleaned up her sniper rifle before leaving decisively.
At the corner where she didn't notice, her skills were silently being updated.
[Sniping (Maximum distance 2500 yards)]
…
Morofushi Hiromitsu was stunned as he looked at his phone and looked at his childhood friend who was saying that he would leave but actually dragging his feet. He felt amused in his heart but kept a stern expression on the surface.
"Being treated as the bait is not fun, but it couldn't be helped." Morofushi Hiromitsu shrugged. "For now, let's chase after the 'real' undercover agent?"
Bourbon nodded. "Of course."
