Hashimoto Maya: "..." Could it really just be an ordinary employee benefit?
He couldn't simply ignore something his boss had whimsically decided to give him, so he cautiously walked over, thanked her, and took the bag.
He gave it a discreet squeeze. The objects inside were both soft and hard, and the bag was light overall. It didn't feel like a dangerous item such as a bomb.
Only then did Hashimoto Maya secretly breathe a sigh of relief. With the black-clad woman's tacit permission, he took out the "gift" to inspect it, only to find that Uzo had given him a black hat and a pair of sunglasses.
...Why give him these? Did Uzo think his hair was too light and didn't suit the Black Organization's standard attire, so he'd given him a hat to cover it up?
The thought had barely crossed his mind when Hashimoto Maya suddenly sensed something was wrong—wait. This wasn't an ordinary hat. It looked like a knit cap!
At the mention of a knit cap, a face flashed through his mind—Akai Shuichi, the public enemy of the organization who had once infiltrated it under the codename "Rye"!
Cold sweat began running down Hashimoto Maya's face again.

Hashimoto Maya: "..." Why was Uzo giving him something like this?!
The woman beside him suddenly spoke, her voice casual. "Put them on and let me see."
Hashimoto Maya wanted nothing more than to throw the hat away and burn it, but since even Uzo's subordinate had said so, he could only slowly remove the tag and put it on,
