I left my story at the point when Hevn wants to speak to Ginji. But if you remember, I clearly stated that she had brought a mission for the guys. And with all this discovery of Ban's probable love for Natsumi, she totally forgot about it. But then it was Ginji who reminded her –
"Hey Hevn, hadn't you brought some mission for us?"
"Oh, right," said Hevn, "Okay, I'll tell you about it. It's a job from San Jose, California"
"San Jose, California!!!" exclaimed the Get Backers and Natsumi.
"Yeah, it seems to me your popularity has sure brought you closer to international jobs"
"I know," spoke Ban after a long time, "Continue"
"So, you guys have to retrieve a…"
And then whatever their mission was is of no importance to us. But yes, the destination does have some bit of importance. No wonder I mentioned it. Since Ban and Ginji's mission was set in California, Natsumi got a bit worried.
"But then how will you guys go there…I mean isn't it too far?" said Natsumi hoping they'd agree to what she said.
"By an airplane and by the way," said Ban flatly, "We are getting well paid for it"
"Even then, Ban," blushed Natsumi, "I feel that you guys shouldn't leave the country, I mean, what if it's a trap?"
"You may be right," said Ban thoughtfully, "Let me see. Hevn, Have you done a background check on our clients?"
"Oh, I haven't"
"What!!!" exclaimed both Ginji and Ban, "Isn't that your first priority on bringing us a foreign job?"
"I'm so sorry guys," apologized Hevn, "You aren't leaving Japan before I check up on the clients"
After an hour or so, Hevn returned. She then said –
"You guys should thank Natsumi. Turns out those guys were goons after all. Just imagine if Natsumi wouldn't have warned you people"
Natsumi blushed as Ban gave her an appreciating look. She felt so elated that finally she had got a place in Ban's heart.
As I said Hevn speaks to Ginji,
"Ginji, do you know what I want to speak to you about?"
"Yeah," said Ginji thoughtfully, "I mean, no"
"It's about Ban and Natsumi," said Hevn sounding agitated, "Ban does like Natsumi, right?"
"Why would I tell you that?"
"That means he does like her," said Hevn, "You have to help me out with them"
"Meaning?"
"Meaning, we being their best friends have to devise some sort of plan to get them together"
"What plan?"
"I have an idea," jumped Hevn, "Come here", she said and whispered something into Ginji's ear.
"Cool! I can't wait to try it out even if Ban kills me for it," grinned Ginji.
"Yes, we have to"
