Chapter 109 - Encounter

"Miss Hikari?"

Hikari Yuki was stunned and then looked at the familiar face in front of her in silence.

Why does… Amuro Toru kept on appearing in front of her?

Shouldn't he be overseas or something?

"Mr. Amuro?" Hikari Yuki called out and her eyes landed on his clothes. It was the work clothes from this restaurant and it was obvious that Amuro Toru had already started working part time again.

How many part time jobs did he have?

For some reason, Hikari Yuki felt a bit speechless. 

"Yes." Amuro Toru smiled cheerfully. "I had just finished delivering some food when I saw you in front of the restaurant. Do you want to come in and eat something inside?"

Hikari Yuki blinked.

To be honest, she was not entirely sure whether Amuro Toru saw her expression when she was staring at the mirror. She was rarely distracted ever since she started working, but she couldn't help it after seeing no. 10 getting so crazy in the brain chat channel some time ago.

Moreover… She herself was not exactly a good person.

She had been thinking what could make him so crazy and send someone to do an investigation. But the result was not clear yet. 

Hikari Yuki gave a smile in response. "Thank you, Mr. Amuro."

Amuro Toru gave her a kind and warm smile in return before taking the lead to enter the restaurant.

Hikari Yuki followed behind him and picked a seat near the entrance. She looked at the list of the menu and picked the seafood ramen there.

"Would you like the spicy version or the normal version?"

"Spicy, please."

"Right away, Miss Hikari."

Hikari Yuki glanced over in Amuro Toru's direction and she was surprised to see that he was the one cooking. It seemed that before Poirot, he had already started cooking for other restaurants before.

It was both surprising yet reasonable.

After all, his cooking was famous during Poirot's arc and it was reasonable if he had practiced it beforehand.

'He's known as a fast learner, so he should have been able to do this quickly.'

But since Amuro Toru is already in Japan… Moreover, it's in Beika, why did he not intervene at all when Akai Shuichi started to be active?

Well, it might be because not long after Akai Shuichi appeared openly to shoot Gin and framed him as an enemy lover from 800 miles away, it was soon the time for him to fake his death.

It's also possible that Amuro Toru was busy with other matters under Rum.

'Hmm… thinking about it, I also have subordinates under me who are codenamed members.'

But they were all undercover agents whose performance was really good and she purposely promoted them to help her maintain her 'territory' on the surface. She had also come into a tacit agreement with their agency behind them.

Since they were all in Europe, they didn't really follow her to Japan and instead maintained their position there. Moreover, they also took advantage of the organization's position to deal with some hostile local forces that are making trouble.

Naturally, they will report to her first.

Only if she agreed would they make the move and so on.

It was basically a cooperation.
