Ichijō Mirai: "…"
He pondered for a moment, then pondered for a moment, then pondered for a moment, then remained silent.
Akai Shūichi was a bit too proactive.
Whether it's the unhesitating 'please' or the strict and proactive 'I'm beg you', it's all a bit too proactive...
Both are a bit too active, with no shame, not like they're being toyed with by the player, and instead of trying to fight back, they're actively cooperating.
Instead, Ichijō Mirai was a little uncertain.
He was used to twisting melons by force, used to smiling and praising the sweetness no matter how it tasted, and used to watching melons struggle wildly in his hands in frustration, but he was not used to melons twisting off and jumping into his own mouth of their own accord, so he was a bit inexperienced in dealing with it.
Just like the hound to chase the rabbit, the rabbit more desperate to escape, the hound will be more excited and chase, also have been accustomed to the rabbit to see their own is always like an arrow like rushing out, and suddenly met a not only do not run away, but also stuffed the back of the neck into the mouth of their own rabbits, the hound have to be silent and confused for a while, doubtful of life.
The silence spreads.
Akai Shūichi, still looking calm, as if it were normal, inquired, "What's wrong?"
He didn't look like an FBI agent asking a criminal for a personal favor, but rather like a normal person recommending a special dish at a restaurant for a friend, calm and collected, seemingly even confused as to why his friend had suddenly gone silent.
But in fact very understand, the next second, he calmly said: "You are not good at dealing with the initiative type of people."
"You are good at forcing a relationship to start, taking the dominant position in the relationship, enjoying pleasure recklessly, and abandoning it without hesitation when it becomes boring and moving on to the next relationship,"
"No," Akai Shūichi corrected himself, '"it's not 'dump it and move on to the next', it's starting multiple relationships at the same time and dumping them as soon as they become boring to you."
"But you're terrible at reacting in ways you don't expect, in relationships you can't lead."
It's a nice, FBI, professional thing to say, as if you're looking at the condition of the body and trying to figure out what kind of behavioral stress trauma the killer had.
It's: "I'm sorry."
Ichijō Mirai sat back a bit, mused, and politely corrected, "Could you be a little more careful with your words?"
"You probably don't understand," He said politely, "I have a friend who plays around a lot and has learned a lot of unhealthy things."
"It's easy for me to misunderstand when you say things like 'forcing a relationship', 'pleasure', 'abandoning'."
It's like saying something morally flawed...
Ichijō Mirai is not good at playing around with the moral flaws of love.
He's also not good at dealing with people who are too aggressive.
So far, Ichijō Mirai has only encountered two overly aggressive people: Morofushi Hiromitsu, who already knew most of the 'player background information settings', and Akai Shūichi.
From Morofushi Hiromitsu, it was clear that Ichijō Mirai wasn't very good at dealing with people who were overly forthcoming and honest.
"Let's say you're right," Ichijō Mirai said in a lighthearted tone, 'analyzing it so expertly doesn't seem like someone who would really be honest enough to just humbly ask for cooperation, but rather like someone who is subtly fighting for dominance and wants to control me,' he laughed.
He laughed, "What else do you want to professionally analyze?"
"I haven't researched your entire history yet," Akai Shūichi replied, "but I can analyze one thing from the above characteristics: you had an unfortunate childhood."
"Your inability to get used to people you're attracted to has something to do with your parents, whose relationship broke down, doesn't it?"
"Was it your father's fault, or..." Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Ichijō Mirai's eyebrow raised in amusement, and had the answer in the affirmative, "It was your father's fault."
What was analyzed was not the Ichijō couple from the 'Player Background Information Settings', who were in a good relationship and had no effect on Ichijō Mirai, who had no memories of getting along with them now.
What Akai Shūichi analyzed was the situation of Ichijō Mirai's real parents.
He wanted to show a displeased expression of being offended, but he couldn't hold back his rich smile, "You're provoking me."
"Do you think this will cause me to have violent mood swings and give you a chance to control me?"
It was a simple inquiry with Ichijō Mirai's curiosity.
He didn't have any mood swings towards dead people, but he was just curious if Akai Shūichi would think that he had mood swings towards dead people, and if he would recognize himself as one of those wasted criminals who grew up unable to fight back even after being immersed in the unpleasant silhouettes of his childhood.
"Not to be provocative," Akai Shūichi replied, "it seems he's dead."
"I'm only saying this to say..."
"For someone like you, you must be very concerned when someone you care about ends your relationship without authorization, and you can't reopen it, can't undo it, right?"
Like death.
Like the death of 'Satan'.
Messiah is not a good person.
But compared to 'Satan', he was already a gentle, friendly, good guy who could be seen to have tried to be good, and if even a good guy has this kind of personality, what about 'Satan'?
Their brotherly relationship must be a bit twisted, not only spreading the blood relationship, but also dependence on each other and the same past, but also has a sick relationship that is not a normal family upbringing, not a normal means of interaction and get along with each other, like two hedgehogs even if they are stabbed by each other, but still want to embrace each other tightly sick.
When 'Satan' died, 'Messiah' must have been very upset, so upset that he went crazy.
Ichijō Mirai's desperate racing style and his death-defying behavior in provoking the sniper is proof of that.
Akai Shūichi was sure.
"I also cared about my father," He said.
"From the time I was fifteen years old, when my father seemed to have vanished, I was obsessed with finding him, and I've been searching for him like crazy ever since."
"I joined the FBI to find my father."
Father and brother are a little different, but the obsession of this chase is the same, Akai Shūichi said, "The FBI has clues to the organization, not many, just one or two murders of people involved in the organization,"
For the sake of sporadic clues, he would have joined the FBI, that: "You have more clues in your hands, than the FBI."
He looked at Ichijō Mirai, "The offense I took just now was to explain the necessity of my wanting to work with you."
Seems reasonable... not really.
Hell, dogs shake their heads at that.
Ichijō Mirai didn't shake his head, he smiled and nodded slowly as if he believed it, "You can choose the FBI or me to find your father, you'll do anything, in other words, I'll let you do anything to cooperate with me?"
"After all, you're the one who needs to cooperate, and I'm the one who doesn't care."
Akai Shūichi's face didn't change, "Of course."
What's that?
Is he expressing his eagerness to cooperate?
No, it's seduction!
"Then..." Mused Ichijō Mirai, tempted to say 'be my dog' in a provocative manner, but considering that he was not in Japan, let alone Yokohama, that he was a mafioso and Akai Shūichi was not, that the terms of the homage were insufficient, and that he already had enough men, and did not need another one that would bite him in the butt, he regretfully gave up. "All right."
He waved his hand, "Come here."
The middle-aged priest stopped whispering the Bible, walked down the steps with the tray, and half-kneeled by the seat.
Akai Shūichi looked over and saw the ear-to-ear, nose-to-nose expression and the tray of cookie wine.
He didn't say anything: up to now, all the people Ichijō Mirai had dealt with were criminals.
And this priest, of course...
Ichijō Mirai pulled out a dagger, twirled it around his fingertips, and cut open his palm.
Bright red blood gushed out, splashing into the wine and sending ripples through it.
He picked up the blood-red wine and handed it to Akai Shūichi, "Ask for cooperation the way you want to be asked, don't you?"
"Recognize me."
-Bread and wine are the flesh and blood of Jesus.
Drinking wine with the blood of Ichijō Mirai is a bit of a confession: You are my Lord.
"In your hour of need," Ichijō Mirai smiles wistfully, "cooperate with you and help your me."
"Aren't I your Savior?"
