In truth, he's a top intelligence agent and all-purpose, miserable grunt for a certain distillery, and one of its famous gay men. His codename is Hell Tequila. Rumor has it that, for the sake of work and pleasure, he's entangled with countless handsome men from both the public and underground worlds around the globe. A Public Security officer? An intelligence agent with the Special Division for Unusual Powers? A world-class independent scholar? The personal secretary to the Vongola don? A specially appointed researcher at the Imperial Palace? "Thanks for asking. I'm at the Imperial Palace, working as a distillery representative and researching the secrets of the Stone on behalf of organizations infiltrated by all kinds of spies." "I was the reliable source of information for Naples' passionate godfather, and I used to call the Vongola don of Sicily my brother and stick by his side." "A little defection won't hurt a friendship that's meant to last forever, as long as I'm still useful." A legendary career as an undercover fire-type ability user, working between all the major organizations. The man nicknamed Sardine is still working himself to the bone as an undercover agent today. But love came without warning, fierce and intoxicating. On Herbal Salt's twenty-fifth birthday, he took a little cake to a bar to celebrate. There, he met Chuuya Nakahara, a Port Mafia executive who was away on a business trip and drinking alone to celebrate his own twentieth birthday. "What a coincidence, it's your birthday too. Want me to make you a real adult? I'm very good at it." The inexperienced fake booze smiled confidently, calmly, elegantly, and dangerously, tempting the tipsy, adorable prey to indulge his curiosity about the adult world. And the next morning, he found himself craving the other's body and skills. Once they realized their jobs were similar, they tested each other, then successfully exchanged contact information. Chuuya Nakahara always thought Herbal Salt was a scientist at the Imperial Palace with no special ability, until the distillery went under and Herbal Salt came clean. "Chuuya, my old employer's gone under, and I have nowhere to go. Please take me in qwq." The black-haired, black-eyed young man edged up to him hopefully, pleading in a soft voice like a well-behaved golden retriever. "Chuuya, is the Port Mafia hiring? We could have an office romance." "Like hell." The Port Mafia executive cursed him to his face, but his actions betrayed him. He took this delicious liquor home and hid it in his special liquor cabinet, where he could drink it alone, savoring the burn in his chest, unable to get enough. Until one day, Mori Ogai slapped a photo of Herbal Salt meeting in secret with a certain blond Public Security agent right in front of Chuuya. "Cheating?!" A gleaming scalpel plunged into the table with a clang. The Port Mafia boss smiled as he crushed his trusted executive's naive delusions. "No, it's betrayal." #Not a single bottle of fake booze belongs in this great god's liquor cabinet!# #Even if it tastes really good!# #Once fake booze, always fake booze# "Herbal Salt, who are you really?!" #The master schemer has something to say# #First things first, appease the wife# "Thanks for asking. I'm at the Port Mafia, a legendary magician obsessed with romance and hoping to elope with the great god to spend the rest of our lives together." One-on-one romance, happy ending, an undercover agent inside an undercover agent inside an undercover agent, and sweetness. P.S.: Hell Tequila (Tequila Slammer) is also known as the Hell Shooter. When men drink it as part of a bet, this extreme way of drinking sends it down their throats like an arrow shot by the Hell Shooter. The refreshing lemon juice and sparkling wine make their hearts and lungs burn in an instant. It's a strong drink used for betting, and tequila is usually paired with salt and lemon. I thought it was a very fitting name for Ah Yan. √ Theme: Dating without the intention to marry is just messing around.
