Chapter 38 - Meeting

As Kurokawa Saki was contemplating, a familiar voice came from below.

"Jump down, I'll catch you."

Huh?

Amuro Toru?

Kurokawa Saki was stunned for a moment. She actually didn't sense any danger when Amuro Toru was so close to her?

Unbelievable.

But this was not the time for her to think about this. 

There was no time for her to hesitate and Kurokawa Saki decisively jumped down with the child in her hand.

A pair of powerful arms caught her gently and then covered her and the child with a wet coat before rushing out of the fire.

And then, the two of them were put on the ground.

Kurokawa Saki looked at the child, who was still dazed and chuckled softly as she put her down. "You're fine now." 

She patted the child and then looked at the person who saved her just now. It was Amuro Toru but not the Bourbon whom she had seen before. He looked like a sunny young man from next door instead of the dangerous Bourbon who was going to kill her and full of hidden murderous intent when facing her.

Did he not recognize her?

It seemed that her disguise skills were pretty good.

Or well… it seemed that Amuro Toru's skills in recognizing disguise was actually quite poor.

She felt a bit perplexed about this considering that Amuro Toru basically spent a long time with Vermouth in the comic. Yet he failed to learn how to detect disguise. Then again, Vermouth's disguise was indeed very good and normal people wouldn't be able to discern it. 

"You did well and you're really brave." Amuro Toru looked at the cute girl in front of him and smiled kindly. "But if something like this happens again, please prioritize your safety. Saving people is important, but your own safety is also important."

Kurokawa Saki looked a bit dazed and then nodded with a smile. "Don't worry, I know my limitations well. You're also very strong, Brother."

Amuro Toru smiled in response.

At this time, the child's parents came and thanked the two of them. 

Morofushi Hiromitsu watched from the side and almost cried.

So it seemed that when Amuro Toru didn't have the organization's filter when facing Kurokawa Saki, the two of them could actually get along harmoniously with each other. 

'Should I let Saki hide her identity from Zero all the time?'

Morofushi Hiromitsu shook his head in amusement.

He believed that sooner or later, the two of them would know each other's full identity. 

'Hmm, so Saki is not comfortable to talk with Zero when he's full blown showing his hostility… well, it's expected.'
