Rye Cross-Dresses

Akai Shuichi sat upright on the sofa, like a lady from a respectable family, but the cigarette held between his fingers revealed that the beautiful woman before him was, in fact, not so simple.
At least, she was not purely feminine.
Morofushi Hiromitsu, who followed Furuya Rei out of the room, was still in his usual blue samfu disguise.
Tonight, he was assigned as the sniper to follow them.
At this moment, Morofushi Hiromitsu, taking advantage of Akai Shuichi's back being turned to him, cast an undisguised look of sympathy at the other party.
Being watched by Zero, Akai-san, you can only pray for good luck.
Amen.
Akai Shuichi had many thoughts in his heart at this moment that he couldn't express.
Originally, the boy saying he had a mission he wanted him to complete together was something that made him very happy.
But that did not include him having to cross-dress as a woman.
However...
He had to admit, the boy's skills were excellent.
Yes, he meant his makeup artistry. It was unlike any disguise Akai Shuichi had ever witnessed.
A thin layer, so thin that when placed on the hand, one could clearly see the fingerprints through it. Perhaps "thin as cicada wings" described it perfectly.
And it was precisely such a thin layer that, when applied to his face, even though it didn't completely cover his distinctly shaped eyes.
Perhaps people who knew him might associate him with Moroboshi Dai, but just by looking at his appearance, one would absolutely not imagine him to be male.
The hard masculine facial contours instantly transformed into the softness of a woman.
His Adam's apple was smeared with something unknown by the boy, making it invisible.
It was truly miraculous. Akai Shuichi touched it repeatedly; he could feel it, but his eyes simply couldn't perceive it.
This dress was even sewn by the boy himself, who had pedaled the sewing machine 'ka-ka-ka' for a long time.
Even Scotch didn't get one.
Morofushi Hiromitsu: Do you think I'm envious?
Expressionless face.
In short, although he didn't seem too happy to accept the reality of wearing women's clothes, Akai Shuichi was still quite new to this.
Around his neck was also a necklace that could change his voice into a slightly cold female voice.
This was the 【Voice Changer (Cold Female Voice): Professor Agasa's incomplete version of the bow tie, can only produce one type of voice.】 that Furuya Rei exchanged from the 123 System Shop.
Furuya Rei had put in a lot of effort to create such a flawless female disguise for Akai Shuichi.
And he swore to Morofushi Hiromitsu that if he ever again let an untrustworthy person use a fake ID, he would be a fool.
However, although it cost a lot of effort and points, the results were delightful.
Furuya Rei looked at Rye in front of him with satisfaction and nodded.
"From now on, Rye is Amuro Tooru's aunt, uh... Amuro... Amuro Yi Zi?" Furuya Rei said after careful consideration, not wanting to use a random fake ID name for Akai Shuichi.
"Pfft." Morofushi Hiromitsu, showing no respect for his childhood friend's terrible naming sense, burst out laughing without hesitation.
Akai Shuichi nodded expressionlessly: "Whatever you think is good."
He, an ordinary, unremarkable tool, what opinion could he have?
When Gin brought Vodka to check on Bourbon's work, his gaze immediately fell on the tall 'woman' on the sofa as soon as he entered.
Vodka, inexperienced, froze on the spot.
Gin, holding a cigarette, narrowed his eyes and appraised Rye.
No problem. Aside from his height, even he couldn't find any flaws in Rye.
Bourbon's makeup was excellent, as if Rye originally had a feminine face.
The clothes perfectly concealed Rye's masculine physical features.
Hmm, Amuro Yi Zi's figure was quite good.
Of course, it wasn't impossible to find someone suitable within the Organization to act as a guardian to accompany Bourbon to the Ueno Family's banquet.
There were plenty.
At that time, Gin, as the overall person in charge of this operation, still had to consider the feelings of the team members.
If Bourbon hoped that Rye would cross-dress as a woman to accompany him, then so be it, according to Bourbon's wishes.
After all, it couldn't possibly be because Gin also wanted to see Rye make a fool of himself.
"If you've decided, prepare the things you need to bring tonight." Gin finished checking the work he had assigned earlier.
Then he looked at Akai Shuichi, who was smoking, and said as usual: "Rye, this is a mission. Play your role well."
The implication was to trouble Akai Shuichi to act like a good woman.
Good girls don't smoke.
Akai Shuichi looked up at Gin, feeling that there was mockery in the other's eyes.
He still stubbed out the half-smoked cigarette in the glass he was using as an ashtray on the coffee table.
Gin, satisfied, led the sniper Scotch, who was assigned to monitor tonight, and Vodka, who was driving for Bourbon and Rye, away.
Vodka said he would wait for them outside, leaving Bourbon and Amuro Yi Zi looking at each other.
The second hand on the wall clock 'ticked' away.
Furuya Rei looked up, then turned to Akai Shuichi and raised an eyebrow: "Little Aunt, shall we go?"
Akai Shuichi maintained a proper, elegant smile and stood up.
The Ueno Family's centenary celebration was held on the twentieth floor of their newly constructed building.
Although the other floors weren't in use, the entire building was actually operating for this centenary celebration.
Cars of various colors were parked in the building's basement.
Vodka dropped the two off at the basement floor, then hastily drove away in the white Mazda that Boss had assigned to Bourbon.
This place felt generally unsafe. To avoid losses to the Organization's assets, he'd better not park Bourbon's car here.
He drove to another location to wait for Bourbon and Rye.
And the 188 cm tall 'Amuro Yi Zi', though not wearing high heels to match her aura, thanks to Furuya Rei's rare good mood.
Even among men, his outstanding height attracted many people's gazes as soon as he got out of the car.
Most of the gazes were not malicious, just filled with surprise and doubt.
Akai Shuichi was very calm. Relying on his excellent height, he looked around.
His extremely oppressive gaze made many eyes retract.
"Not bad, huh." Furuya Rei stood beside Akai Shuichi, watching his actions, his lips curving slightly. "Please continue to maintain this tonight, Little Aunt."
"Tonight, the mission to stick to Chairman Ueno is yours."
He hoped Akai Shuichi could properly display his 'feminine charm'.
A certain FBI's lips twitched involuntarily. He likewise spoke without seemingly moving his mouth: "Next time there's such a mission, perhaps you can find Scotch."
"I'm reluctant to," Furuya Rei didn't care about Akai Shuichi's internal feelings upon hearing this. He reached out and pulled Akai Shuichi forward, as if holding an elder's hand.
On the first floor of the main hall, a middle-aged man, somewhat familiar to Furuya Rei, was waiting.
It was the man who had always been with Matsuda Jinpei and his group when Furuya Rei met Ueno Minta at the amusement park earlier.
The moment he saw Furuya Rei, a professional, polite smile instantly appeared on his face, completely unlike the casual, always sweating man he met the other day.
"Amuro-sen..." The man stepped forward, preparing to welcome his chairman's guests, but stopped abruptly mid-sentence.
His gaze, falling on Akai Shuichi beside Furuya Rei, stiffened.
The man was not tall, of average height.
When looking closely at Akai Shuichi, he still needed to tilt his head slightly.
"And this is?" Although such a blunt question was extremely impolite, the middle-aged man couldn't suppress his inner curiosity, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and instinctively stepped back to ask.
Furuya Rei introduced: "This is my little aunt, Amuro Yi Zi. Chairman Ueno mentioned in the invitation that he wanted to see my guardian."
The middle-aged man's face lit up with understanding, then he put on an extremely enthusiastic demeanor, facing Akai Shuichi: "So it's Miss Amuro. Chairman Ueno has been waiting upstairs for a long time."
Akai Shuichi bowed his head, a shy smile on his face, and spoke calmly: "I am also very much looking forward to meeting Chairman Ueno."
After a day and night of tutoring from Furuya Rei, and Vermouth's remote participation, Akai Shuichi's lady etiquette training, though arduous, yielded obvious results.
Considering a certain person's capabilities, Vermouth helped Akai Shuichi summarize that the identity of Amuro Yi Zi should be that of a young lady from a prestigious family, cultivated from a young age, elegant and reserved.
It seemed Akai Shuichi was doing very well.
The two followed the middle-aged man, taking the elevator all the way to the 22nd floor of the building.
This floor was where the Ueno Family members rested.
Chairman Ueno also received some guests here.
When the middle-aged man led Furuya Rei and Akai Shuichi up, they happened to encounter Chairman Ueno's room door opening from the inside.
Inspector Megure and two or three other First Investigation Division police officers came out of the room.
Date Wataru, Matsuda Jinpei, and Hagiwara Kenji, the childhood friends, were not seen.
The three were probably working security on the 20th floor.
Because this incident involved a bomb, and Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei had previously been involved in the incident.
Inspector Megure had temporarily transferred the two here.
This was information Furuya Rei had received from his colleague earlier today.
"Inspector Megure." Furuya Rei stood still in the corridor, making way for Inspector Megure and his group to the other elevator.
Hearing the voice, Inspector Megure, who had been bowing his head in thought, looked up and, upon seeing Furuya Rei, his eyes immediately lit up.
"It's my junior, Amuro."
Furuya Rei's words got stuck in his throat.
Ah, in two days, he had evolved from Amuro-kun to "my junior, Amuro"?
How miraculous. Inspector Megure's "junior" truly didn't distinguish between age and seniority.
Kudo Yusaku could be "my junior, Kudo."
Kudo Shinichi could also be "my junior, Kudo" in the future.
Should he be fortunate that Inspector Megure at least still cared about police dignity and didn't refer to the seven-year-old boy, Edogawa Conan, who helped the First Investigation Division with so many cases seven years later, as "my junior, Edogawa"?
Inspector Megure didn't know what "my junior, Amuro" was thinking. He walked towards Furuya Rei with his hands clasped behind his back.
His gaze lingered on Akai Shuichi beside him, and he was clearly startled.
But he didn't show any surprised expression.
Instead, he said with an understanding expression: "So this must be my junior Amuro's guardian?"
Then his gaze shifted back and forth between their faces, trying to find some similar features to confirm Akai Shuichi's identity.
Akai Shuichi took a step forward, not letting Inspector Megure continue to struggle. He smiled, folding his hands over his lower abdomen, and bowed slightly: "So this must be Inspector Megure of the First Investigation Division. I am Tooru's aunt, Amuro Yi Zi. Tooru often mentions you. Our family is very grateful for the care the police officers have shown Tooru."
"So it's Miss Amuro." Inspector Megure chuckled. "Amuro-kun has been raised exceptionally well by your family. He usually helps us a lot, so there's no need to talk about care."
Just by looking, one could tell that this Miss Amuro was from a prestigious family; her every movement was extremely proper.
Inspector Megure couldn't help but engage in social pleasantries, matching Akai Shuichi's reserved tone.
The middle-aged man, who had asked Furuya Rei and Akai Shuichi to wait outside earlier, came out of Chairman Ueno's room.
He gestured for the two to enter.
"The two of you go meet Chairman Ueno. We also have work to do." Inspector Megure politely ended the polite conversation.
'Amuro Yi Zi' maintained a smile on her face, leading Furuya Rei past the group of police officers.
At a height not easily noticed, Akai Shuichi's facial muscles twitched violently.
But they quickly relaxed.
He, Akai Shuichi, an elite FBI investigator, even when cross-dressing as a woman, would do his best.
Furuya Rei, probably the only one present who could guess Akai Shuichi's facial expression, had his small face taut.
He couldn't laugh.
He was a professional, his acting skills absolutely reliable, and he couldn't be outdone by a certain FBI agent.
Entering Chairman Ueno's room, the endless flattery and polite exchanges began again.
Furuya Rei believed he could feel the fatigue hidden beneath the FBI agent's skin.
Fortunately, Furuya Rei felt lucky that his current identity was a fourteen-year-old middle school student, so he didn't need to engage in the false social interactions of adults.
Moreover, at certain times, he could even escape the pressure of the scene.
Amuro Tooru, who had been obediently listening to the 'adults' converse, began to lose focus. Chairman Ueno, sitting opposite him, clearly saw that every few minutes, a blankness appeared in Amuro Tooru's eyes.
He would zone out for a moment, then snap back, pretending to listen intently to him and Miss Amuro.
Then the process would repeat, over and over again.
Thus, Chairman Ueno, as an elder who admired the excellent young man, sympathetically said to Furuya Rei: "If you feel bored, Amuro-kun can go to the event area downstairs first. Before the opening, there are also performances, perhaps there are programs or celebrities that you young people would like."
Amuro Tooru's eyes immediately lit up. He cautiously looked at his aunt beside him.
From their conversation just now, Chairman Ueno could sense 'Amuro Yi Zi's' knowledge. Her erudition and ability to cultivate such an excellent young man made Chairman Ueno wonder if the Amuro Family, which he had never heard of, was some unfathomable hidden great family.
And 'Amuro Yi Zi' was clearly not just a girl cultivated to be a 'tool for political marriage'; she must have a considerable status within her family.
This could also be seen from Amuro-kun's inquiring gaze.
"Miss Amuro." Chairman Ueno smiled and said, "It's fine for us adults to converse. Let Amuro-kun participate in the lively event outside. My little grandson has been remembering Amuro-kun ever since their last encounter at the amusement park."
He could establish a good relationship with the other party.
Chairman Ueno thought.
The story about Ueno Minta remembering him was, of course, fabricated. If it could just attract Amuro-kun's attention, nothing could be better.
His age had reached this point. If Minta could establish a good relationship with such a young man from a family that seemed extraordinary, he could rest a bit easier even after he passed away.
Of course, establishing a good relationship with Miss Amuro was even more important.
In this way, the child Amuro-kun seemed like a hindrance here.
Chairman Ueno, whose thoughts twisted and turned a thousand times in his heart, still wore the kind smile of an old man on his face, his gaze on Furuya Rei as if he were looking at his own grandson.
Furuya Rei: "..."
For the past day and night, the boy had been busy making his disguise, clothes, and materials, while he had been busy humming the various documents prepared by Vermouth and the boy. Akai Shuichi felt that he could even go on stage and fight a business war now.
So he tilted his head and nodded slightly to Furuya Rei, signaling that he could leave.
Furuya Rei stood up, taking the young man with a little skip, yet politely bowing slightly to the two 'elders' in the room to bid farewell, finally leaving the room.
Leaving Akai Shuichi alone to face the cunning old fox, Chairman Ueno.
Go, FBI!
He, as a Japanese police officer, silently applauded him in his heart.
In Akai Shuichi's eyes, unseen by others, a blazing fire of fighting spirit ignited.
His first official mission after receiving his codename, his first mission as Rye with the boy. No matter how difficult, he would accept it.
Mere cross-dressing social interaction, ha.
