As time passed, Akai Shuichi figured out the general operating patterns of Gin and Glenlivet, while James had selected his personnel. Now, all they needed was a mission with enough temptation to bring Glenlivet and Gin out together. As Akai Shuichi pondered this, Furuya Rei happened to return. "Bourbon, shall we cooperate?"
Meanwhile, in his true body, Tamazawa Shuxin had been living in Kumamoto Prefecture for two years and was now working as a private detective. After wandering around, he had finally settled into the central hub of this world. "Hello, this is Tamazawa. What is your commission..." Taking on small commissions occasionally to make a living, Tamazawa Shuxin recalled his hasty contract cancellation from before; the breach-of-contract penalties had nearly wiped out his entire savings—an impulsive action for which he bore full responsibility. During that time, he had even taken a trip to Britain, only to discover absolutely nothing.
"Honestly, Jinpei and Hagi are certainly good at keeping their cool." Whenever Tamazawa Shuxin remembered occasionally bumping into the two of them at a merchandise shop, his heart would race with extreme guilt. Putting the matter out of his mind, he began to sort out the current progress of the world. "If I recall correctly, isn't it almost time for Akai Shuichi to defect from The Organization?" Thinking of this, Tamazawa Shuxin felt that this time they would likely capture Glenlivet along with him.
