king of yokohama

The day has finally come.

You flicked the blood of the staunch resisters on the Hidden Blade, and headed to the prison you had prepared for Mori Ogai for many years, and the gorgeous and luxurious birdcage of the canary was nothing more than that.

You are like a dragon that imprisoned the princess, sleeping on the pile of gold coins all day long, embracing piles of gemstones, constantly breathing fire to solve the hero who rescued the princess, and occasionally going out to find those shiny little things to please the beautiful woman .

Putting your sword back into your sleeve, you silently recited the formula taught to you by the earl, walked along the corridor that folded the space, and soon arrived in front of a door.

An elegant piano sound came from the other side of the door.

You listen silently for a moment, and you can tell that the piano piece is the first movement of Ludwig's Moonlight Sonata, and the slow melody reveals a touch of sadness.According to Mori Ogai's only request, with Qingque's help, you moved the piano from your villa home to his cell. Unexpectedly, he could really play it.

After so many years, you can’t remember the last time you heard Mori Ogai play the piano so peacefully. You can only vaguely remember the countless nights accompanied by nightmares when you were young, and the gentle and melodious piano sound comforted you. Your fragile nerves until you fall asleep.

You push the door open.

In a resplendent room, a man with black hair and red pupils was sitting in front of a piano, his slender fingers were dancing gracefully on the black and white keys like nimble elves running through the forest.The man is wearing a gentlemanly tuxedo with a slim waist, which makes him look more like a skilled pianist than a scheming mafia leader.

The delicate and quiet piano sound is slightly intoxicating and melancholic. After the calm, it is the end of the bass, and then slowly disappears to the end.Mori Ogai caressed the black and white keys, and all the stories in this world seemed to exist at his fingertips playing the piano.Past, present, future, repeating itself.There is nothing new in the world.

After the song is over, you walk up to him and press two keys in a messy manner.Scattered notes resounded crisply, successfully making the man helplessly raise his eyes to look at you. Under the dim light, his bright eyes like pigeon blood stones smiled.

"I just killed a few of your dogs, I don't think you would mind?" You casually gathered the black trench coat draped over your shoulders, the hem of which was still stained with blood.

"They followed me to share wealth and wealth in the early years, and now they should go to trouble with me when I am down and down." Mori Ogai said indifferently, his admiring eyes passed over your blood-stained cuff, he knew that you were a lover. The old man, the place where the weapon is hidden has never changed.

"Is Nobuko going to kill me?" he asked.

You shake your head.

"Ah..." Mori Ogai uttered a meaningless tone, seemingly disappointed and complicated, "Nobuko is like this, I really don't know whether I should feel lucky or feel that my education has failed." He said His eyes are still gentle, but you can feel his disgust for your womanly kindness from the arc of his lips.It seems that after so many years, you are still an ignorant child to him.

Your mind became hot, but you calmed down quickly, but your body moved faster than your mind. Before you could react, your Hidden Blade was already on his neck.It seems to be using actions to prove that you don't have the guts to kill people.

Baishan Yoshimitsu's sharp blade almost drew a bloodstain on the neck of a man who was no different from a normal human being after being temporarily eliminated. You took a deep breath, retracted your Hidden Sword, and asked in a deep voice, "Qingque said you want to see me , now that I'm here, what do you want to say to me?"

Your rationality tells you that you should kill the man in front of you to avoid future troubles, but your feelings prevent you from doing so.Back then, in order to relieve the pain of your mother, you had no choice but to end your mother's life yourself, but now the situation is not as bad as it was back then. You can't do it if you kill your only relative with your own hands.

What reason teaches you is ultimately the paleness of reason, but emotion has reasons that reason cannot understand.Many people who helped you usurp the throne thought that you were completely disappointed in Mori Ogai. Only you knew that you were actually consumed by the despair that followed one after another because you had always held hope in Mori Ogai. die.

For example, now, you are still hoping that Mori Ogai will wake up and take the initiative to write the "Abdication Edict" to you, and everyone will be happy from then on.Even if you know that what you imagined is impossible, you still can't help but hope for a moment.

Hearing what you said, Mori Ogai seemed to suddenly remember something, and took out a box wrapped in red velvet and handed it to you, as if you were playing a candy-making game with you when you were a child. "Nobuko's 19th birthday has passed. I haven't given Nobuko a birthday present these years, so it's not too late to make it up now."

Now you can already see through his so-called magic, but you still haven't exposed it, you just cautiously didn't accept it.Who knows that the other party will not be able to fight trapped beasts, after all, he has never been a person who is willing to lose.

Mori Ogai smiled in relief, and opened the box by himself, revealing the rings of different colors inside.

The orange-toned sky, the indigo fog, the blue rain, the red haze, the green thunder, the purple clouds, and the golden sunshine... The jewel inlaid on the ring is you Since the age of 16, he has been searching for Transcendent A Grade gemstones that can withstand the power of fire.

If the flame is too powerful, it will cause the ring to shatter, and those A-grade gems that you collected enough to fill a room can only be used as one-time items, so you don’t show how much you care about those gems , very casually used to decorate the floor and walls of the prisoner's cage.

But women naturally like shiny gems, and you are no exception. If it is a spar that contains huge energy, you will like it even more, and you can't take your eyes off these Transcendent A Grade gems.

The mafia in Italy attaches great importance to rituals. Those who wear rings are treated differently from those without rings. If you want the mafia to recognize you as the new leader of the port mafia, do it for yourself. It is necessary for the guardians to prepare the ring.

As for why the old leader and Mori Ogai didn't prepare rings for the five major cadres of the port mafia when they were in power... They are not of the flame attribute, and they can neither ignite the flames of the sky nor give them the power of the guardian flames.Port Mafia is the only one who can share his fire with others.

This birthday gift from Mori Ogai can be regarded as a solution to your urgent needs, and it has been delivered to your heart as always.

"Are you acknowledging that I'm good enough to be the new leader of the Port Mafia?" You looked at those rings and asked in a low voice with sourness in your heart.

"Nobuko still lacks something necessary to be a leader." Unexpectedly, Mori Ogai shook his head.

"What is it?" There was a hint of irritability between your brows. You can't control your emotions well in front of him, because this is only in front of him, so you didn't intend to correct it, "Please tell me, What else did I do wrong."

Mori Ogai's acknowledgment is important to you, both as a father and as a teacher.

"Getting an answer from me is meaningless to you, Nobuko." Mori Ogai said warmly, holding the velvet brocade box with the ring tightly with his fingers, as if he was restraining his hand from stroking your hair Impulsive, "You will understand one day. And I hope that day will come a little later."

You look at the man in front of you whose life has passed more than half, and you have that illusion of being deeply loved again in a trance.

This man once let you sit on his lap, hugged you tenderly and whispered in your ear, it would be nice if you never grew up.How wonderful it would be to be the father's youngest daughter forever, with a bond that never changes.

There was a tingling pain in the palm of your right hand that was involuntarily clenched into a fist, and you belatedly realized that the sharp nails had pierced into your palm.Raising your hand and looking at your bloody palm, you were at a loss, and there was a bit of confusion on your face, "What if I still can't understand?"

Mori Ogai didn't answer this question, but just talked about him, "...I heard that Nobuko announced that he and Akutagawa are together, why. I thought it would be Chuya." When you hear this, you will be shocked If you know it, you know that the surveillance video of being kissed by Nakaya in the corridor that day was sent to Mori Ogai's office, otherwise there is no way to explain Nakaya's frequent business trips during that time.

"After all, as a leader, emotional issues must be stable." You took a deep look at Mori Ogai who rarely changed the subject so bluntly, and followed his words empathetically.

"Does Akutagawa make your heart beat?"

"He's more suitable."

After weighing the trade-offs and analyzing the pros and cons, you still feel that Akutagawa Ryunosuke is more suitable for you in all aspects, so you chose him when you disclosed your relationship status.That boy who is two years younger than you.You can eat it for another two years.

There are many reasons why you didn't choose Chuya, apart from your complicated feelings for him, the biggest problem is that Chuya, as the carrier of Huangbatu, cannot conceive children with human beings, but Ryunosuke can give birth to you.You attach great importance to the inheritance of the port mafia. What is more worthy of your trust than your own children, and can take over the responsibility and obligation of protecting Yokohama from you?

It's not that Mori Ogai doesn't understand your thoughts.

As the leader, he really hopes that your marriage can bring the greatest benefit to the organization, but as the father, he hopes that you can marry love rather than succumbing to reality.

The bitter words seemed to wrap around the tip of his tongue before being swallowed back into his stomach. Mori Ogai maintained a gentle and decent smile, "I really miss the words of Nobuko who said when he grew up, he would stay with his father and never go anywhere. .”

"It was Tong Yan Wuji at the time. Ougai's father." Your eyebrows are curved, and you can vaguely see the shadow of the cute and cute little girl back then, and your voice is as gentle as water, "It's the same if you stay with me in the future and don't go anywhere, isn't it? ?"

Compared with the father of ordinary people, Mori Ogai is indeed a very bad person.But at least he has been subtly telling you since he was a child that you are loved.

Being loved is important to you.

"Love" is the shackles of your strength, the only light you see in this wrong world.

In a way, you are actually a very lucky person. You have been healed by your happy childhood all your life, so you are not afraid of any suffering in the future, while many unfortunate people are still spending their whole lives healing their childhood suffering. s damage.

The childhood that Mori Ogai gave you was not too beautiful, but it did not lack love.Even on the day before your 12th birthday, he still said that he loved you over and over again, as if he wanted to say all the love that could not be expressed in the rest of his life at once.

"I will also be kind to Papa Ogai like Papa Ogai was to me when I was young."

So, don't do unnecessary things.
