From the rumors Amuro Tooru had heard, the unknown hero who had bravely fought criminals and unfortunately taken a bullet was exceptionally low-profile—forget commendations, he had not even let anyone else pay his medical bills. After lying in the hospital for half a day, he had slipped away.
He had heard that the Gunma Prefectural Police were lamenting how heroes recognized heroes: around Jiang Xia, there always seemed to be heroes who treated fame like dirt.
Amuro Tooru, another hero who had done plenty of "good deeds" but dared not appear in the papers: "..."
His instincts told him that this so-called "unknown hero" was very suspicious. And the quickest way to learn more was undoubtedly to ask the people who had been there directly.
Therefore, when he happened to discover that Jiang Xia had come to the Amuro Detective Agency, Amuro Tooru immediately rushed over, intending to ask about the situation in person. This was far safer than making a phone call.
"An unknown hero who refused to be in the papers?" Jiang Xia seemed briefly stunned by the question, then quickly understood. "You mean Mr. Yamaguchi."
The name sounded familiar to Amuro Tooru. "Mr. Yamaguchi?"
Jiang Xia pointed toward the distant park. "The unlucky passerby who got labeled a suspect in the public restroom robbery case not long ago."
Amuro Tooru: "..." Wasn't that Calvados?!
"Calvados? A hero?"
The intelligence agent muttered to himself for a while, unable to reconcile those two words.
But on second thought, Vermouth had surely been nearby when Jiang Xia encountered Calvados—perhaps that simp had staged some self-righteous hero saves the beauty act and accidentally done a good deed?
After his brief surprise at the hero's true identity, Amuro Tooru quickly realized something else. "Cal... Mr. Yamaguchi was in your tour group too?"
