Is there love between gun shrimp and gobies?

"Kirihara... Ryoji, who is this? ”

"A man like a ghost"

——The Midnight Night

Ryoji Kirihara is a shadow by Yukiho's side, hiding in the shadows and doing some unsavory bad things for Yukiho. The reason why the two of them have been able to get away with it for so many years is nothing more than one more person than others. They were two thieves, two vile little people, and the money and status they now possessed, without exception, were stolen and deceived.

There was no doubt that Yukiho was a beauty, and anyone who had seen her face would think so. She has a fair and delicate skin, exquisite features, and a beautiful face. The corners of her mouth always have a shallow smile, giving people a simple and harmless image. Her cat-like eyes were constantly watching everyone around her, looking for prey that would make her profitable. She knows very well how to use her tears at the right time to win the sympathy of her prey, make the other party take it lightly, and then steal the other party's confidential data.

Ryoji is an out-and-out villain, an accomplice of Yukiho, a murderer who never shows his true colors. He uses the confidential data stolen by Snow Spike to sell pirated games, steal money from victims' bank cards, make pirated software, and remove people who are in the dark for Snow Spike. One is that the manipulator presents himself with a false face, while the other is that the executor always takes orders in the dark of night and executes them, like a machine that can only do bad things. The abyss of desire seems to have no end, and the two of them cooperate seamlessly, unscrupulously to achieve their goals, and even wantonly hurt innocent people.

At the end of the story, all the obstacles around Yukiho are removed by Ryoji, and she uses the stolen money to successfully start her own business and become the queen in the eyes of the world.

"Gun shrimp dig holes and live in holes. But there's a guy who's going to live in its hole, and that's the gobies. However, the goby is not in vain, it will patrol the mouth of the cave, if there is a foreign enemy approaching, it will swing the tail fin to notify the gun shrimp in the hole. They cooperate seamlessly, as if it were called mutually beneficial symbiosis. - "White Night Walk"

This passage in the book is the best description of the two of them. Two people walking in the dark, probably can only live together! I don't know what kind of emotion it is, but it's definitely not love!
