At this moment, in Kusano Kaoru's apartment.
Vodka, suddenly stared down by Jiang Xia: "..."
Jiang Xia had just been talking to Hoshino Terumi, so there was no way Vodka hadn't been listening carefully.
Therefore, he immediately understood what Jiang Xia meant—he wanted his autograph book.
Vodka: "..." ...Had Uzo noticed when he secretly moved the autograph book at the club?
...Uzo had clearly had his back to him at the time. Was this guy's observation skills truly extraordinary, allowing him to distinguish his movements by sound alone, or had all of this... been within his calculations?
A faint sheen of cold sweat appeared on Vodka's forehead.
He looked at Jiang Xia's outstretched hand and fell silent for a moment. He really wanted to say, "What autograph book? Didn't we fail to prepare one?" ...and embarrass this crafty young man in front of Hoshino Terumi.
But ideals were ideals, and reality was reality...
A second later, Vodka silently opened his bag.
...It wasn't that he was worried Uzo would retaliate after losing face.
Mainly, on second thought: Uzo didn't even chase celebrities. He could casually give away such a precious out-of-print poster, so in Uzo's eyes, a so-called "celebrity's handwritten autograph" was probably just a scrap of paper.
In other words, the autograph he got now would, for all practical purposes, belong to Vodka.
...It would be idiotic not to cooperate with something this wonderful!
After working as an assistant for so long, Vodka had become highly skilled at organizing things.
He quickly dug out the freshly hidden autograph book and handed it, along with a signature pen, to Jiang Xia.
Remembering all the character settings Uzo had assigned him before, Vodka tried hard to imagine the other man as Gin. His movements actually carried a hint of respect.
