It is said that I joined the wrong organization with my friend

"I'm really sorry, Alice has caused you a lot of trouble." Mori Ogai was like an ordinary father who caused trouble for his daughter, trying to defend his daughter, "But Alice is really cute, isn't she?" ? Surely you won't embarrass her, right?"

Atsushi Nakajima stared at the humble man in front of him, and said angrily, "This has nothing to do with Alice. As a father, you can even forget your own daughter. I really doubt that you, as a father, professionalism."

"Ah, yes, I'm sorry." Mori Ogai wiped off the cold sweat that didn't exist, and agreed.

The current situation is somewhat beyond Mori Ogai's expectations.

He originally left Alice in the port mafia, just to test the attitude of the captain of the black lizard, and to see what kind of person the other party is by the way—but the result of this is that he was killed by this ten-year-old boy. I have been teaching here for half an hour.

During the period, this frightening white god of death, from a very professional point of view-although I don't know if it is professional or not, but it sounds really reasonable-tells him about the behavior of a child who is forgotten like him. What a huge impact on Alice.

She will doubt her position in her father's mind, and will become unconfident. What will happen if she doesn't have to rebuild her trust in her father for a long time later... It's extremely serious!

You're clearly a mafia, right?Why do you know this!

"...All in all, I still hope you can be a good father." Atsushi Nakajima frowned. If he remembered correctly, Mori Ogai should also be very professional in the education of his children.It is unbelievable that this kind of mistake will appear on him.

and…

Atsushi Nakajima looked at Alice who had been drawing aside since he brought it back.

He remembered that Mori Mori was a father-controller, or did he remember wrongly?No, no, you can't think like this, after all, there is still a difference between this place and your previous life, so it's really inappropriate to think like this.

Even in the past, he couldn't say what he knew about these writers, let alone now.

"Anyway, thank you for sending Alice back." Mori Ogai said, throwing himself in front of Alice who was playing, crying: "Alice-chan~ I'm sorry, can you forgive me? Daddy really It wasn't intentional~"

Seeing Mori Ogai's good attitude of admitting his mistakes, Nakajima Atsushi didn't mean to hold on.

It is enough to talk about ideological education or something, and it is enough to let the other party realize that it is wrong.Besides, Dr. Sen in front of him seemed to be a good father who cared for his daughter. This time, it should be a pure accident, right?

"If there is nothing else, I will leave first." Nakajima Atsushi turned and prepared to leave, "Please come to the port mafia on time tomorrow, doctor."

Although Mori Ogai was taken to the Port Mafia by the leader of the Hong Kong gang under the name of a personal doctor, the suspicious leader will not allow Mori Ogai to stay in the Port Mafia for the time being.

Whether it's for your own safety, or just simply want to show off.

"Okay, you go slowly."

I have to say that Mori Ogai is really an amazing guy. Seeing how humiliated he is, he has to be admired.

At least, Atsushi Nakajima, who didn't know his purpose, really thought he was a doctor with some rough nerves.

After Atsushi Nakajima left.

"He looks like a nice person, doesn't he? Mr. Mori." Osamu Dazai, who had never appeared in the front, came out, and he had been watching from behind the partition of this small clinic.

"Yes, but we have to look at the specifics." Mori Ogai glanced at the bandaged boy holding the book, and it was rare that he didn't say anything hypocritical to cover up his purpose.

"If this Nakajima-kun can become friendly, can't we relax a lot?" He said, "In other words, if he is on our side..."

"Whether it's the Ozaki cadre of the Port Mafia or the Black Lizard he belongs to, if you want to instigate rebellion... No, wouldn't it be easier to win over?"

Osamu Dazai stared at him and tilted his head: "Mr. Mori, you are really a dirty adult."

Immediately, his gaze returned to the newly bought book in his hand: "However, it doesn't matter."

------

For ordinary people, today is also an ordinary day.

For the people of Yokohama, today is also a day to worry about their lives.

The days are getting more and more sad these days, because the port mafia's recent crazy expansion of territory has made even ordinary people feel timid.

Fortunately, there is still a certain degree of safety at present - for example, if you don't go into a dark alley in broad daylight, then there is a high probability that there will be no danger.

Who knows if there is a mafia fighting there?

Chinatown.

Here, it can be said that it is the place least affected by the flames of war, and the reasons for this will not be repeated here. They are all factors that everyone knows well.

An average Chinese specialty restaurant.

"Ms. Akutagawa seems to like Chinese dishes very much." Editor Sasaki looked at the gray-clothed boy who was proficient in ordering food opposite, and said with a sigh, it seems that he is a frequent eater.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa, who is now 12 years old, can be regarded as barely promoted to the ranks of teenagers, which is gratifying.

"Ah, after all, the taste is really good." Akutagawa Ryunosuke replied, although he is considered Japanese now, but... In terms of soul, he is still an authentic Chinese people.

What's wrong with liking to eat from your own home?

"That's all, trouble." It was just a meal for three people, and Akutagawa Ryunosuke didn't have much.Besides, if you can't finish eating, there is also a package service here.

caring~

After the waiter took away the menu, Akutagawa Ryunosuke shifted his gaze to the blond girl sitting next to Sasaki.

The blond girl had short hair and lowered her head shyly. From the very beginning, she wriggled uncomfortably, and didn't even dare to look up at Ryunosuke Akutagawa who was sitting opposite her.He only dared to sneak a glance.

Now realizing that Akutagawa Ryunosuke was looking at her, he lowered his head even more.

This made Akutagawa Ryunosuke a little embarrassed, knowing that if nothing unexpected happened, the girl in front of him would be his future editor.

Editor Sasaki called him before because of this incident.

According to editor Sasaki, it is too difficult for him to be in charge of him and Atsushi Nakajima alone, especially now that the number of their two works is already very considerable.

Even if the content they write now is no more than five books per person, and the total number of books is no more than ten books, but the derivative works of these numbers alone will soon make him exhausted, let alone more and more works in the future. it's time.

So Sasaki decided to find another editor for one of them to share this sweet pressure for him.

Seeing Ryunosuke Akutagawa sizing up the girl beside him, and seeing the girl's shy look, Sasaki nudged the girl with his elbow, motioned her not to behave like this, and raised his head.

After all, in front of seniors, this is really a bit of disrespectful behavior.Having said that, Sasaki could still understand the girl's uneasy mood, so he took the initiative to introduce him:

"Then, let me introduce you. This is, as expected, your future editor—Ichiyo Higuchi."

"Ichiyo Higuchi?" The name caught Ryunosuke Akutagawa's attention.

Because the other party lowered his head and couldn't see his face, there was no name on the top of the other party's head that only Ryunosuke Akutagawa and Atsushi Nakajima could see, which stunned Ryunosuke Akutagawa who suddenly heard the name.

It can't be the same name, right?he thinks.

Editor Sasaki smiled and patted Higuchi Ichiyo, the blond girl who looked about the same age as Akutagawa Ryunosuke: "Don't think she is about your age, but ah, Higuchi is really outstanding."

"Although she has only been in our editorial department for less than a month, her efforts are obvious to all of our editorial department. She is a very good girl."

I don’t know why editor Sasaki felt like he was playing the role of a man while he was talking, but he shook his head after thinking about it, and got rid of this weird feeling: “Well, anyway, I believe he will be able to play alone. Besides, Higuchi is a girl, so she must be much more careful than a big man like me."

Yes, Sasaki will decide to choose Akutagawa Ryunosuke among the two and give him to Higuchi Ichiyo, one of which is that he was once worried that he would not be able to take good care of Akutagawa Ryunosuke.

Mr. Akutagawa is good everywhere, good-natured and good-natured, especially his works are "excellent" - the adventure novels he wrote have already gone abroad!Although it seems that the end is still in the foreseeable future...But none of these can cover up the fact that Akutagawa-sensei is in poor health!

As a man, Sasaki said that he has spent a lot of energy on Mr. Akutagawa in the past two years!In particular, the armed detective agency where Mr. Akutagawa works is full of people who can't understand and can't reason!

Let’s just say Mr. Akutagawa once left a message to “take material”, and he didn’t return to the Armed Detective Agency for a whole week, and then, these guys came to the door!

"Mr. Sasaki, should you give us an explanation?" The "gentle and respectable" social doctor and Akiko Yosano of the Armed Detective Agency stood in front of him holding his "small" surgical tools, and behind him pushed the black frame Adorable teenager in glasses.

"I see~" The young boy seemed to have discovered a new world, "Do you care about the writer's material? Even if it's Akutagawa's level?"

"That... calm down, both of you..."

"Huh?" However, Yosano Akiko was not at all calm when he heard Edogawa Ranpo say this, "Don't you know that Akutagawa is not in good health? Just let him go out alone?"

We won’t go into details about the specific process here. In short, because of the oolong incident of “Butei thought the editor would be together, and the editor thought Butei would be responsible”, Ryunosuke Akutagawa also reduced the number of times he went out alone for a long time. .

"Actually, I'm not alone, I just have an appointment with my friends." Although Akutagawa Ryunosuke replied to them in this way, but I'm sorry, everyone who cared about it didn't listen at all.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke thinks that he doesn't seem to be the kind of character who needs to be taken care of by others. He doesn't quite understand why everyone fights like he will encounter some accidents when he goes out alone... just, quite helpless.

However, it is undeniable that whether at the Armed Detective Agency or Iwanami Shoten, they are extremely concerned about Akutagawa Ryunosuke's health—you say you are healthy?Well, we pretend to believe it.

"Really? Since even editor Sasaki said so, it's not possible, and it's not impossible to try!" Akutagawa Ryunosuke said in a relatively calm tone.

He could understand their feelings, although he repeatedly stated that he was healthy, but... no one believed it.

Just sad.

All in all, Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who knew that it was because of his soul characteristics that made him look sick, could only reassure them as much as possible.

"Really, really?" Higuchi Ichiyo raised his head very excitedly, and said super loudly, "Teacher, please rest assured, I will work hard to become an editor worthy of the teacher!"

"Really? Then you work hard." Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who felt that this kind of words of being worthy or not worthy, was a bit wrong, replied bluntly.Especially when he saw the name flashing past the other person's head, he froze for a moment.

It never occurred to him that Sasaki would bring a literary giant to him when he told him to introduce a new editor.

Although I had expected it just now, but after confirming it, I still felt unreal like being hit by a pie falling from the sky.

Higuchi Ichiyo is also a very good writer. Maybe such simple words can’t let you realize how awesome she is, but if you know that she and Fukuzawa Yukichi are also printed in Japanese banknotes, then You must feel how incredible this girl is in front of you.

"That's really great," Sasaki wiped away the sweat that didn't exist, "In this case, Sensei, let's get acquainted with Higuchi first."

Editing in this day and age is not an easy job, especially for editors with good writers on their staff.

It’s great to have excellent writers, that’s right, like the regular writers Akutagawa Ryunosuke and Nakajima Atsushi of Iwanami Shoten, they belong to the kind of pillar writers, and being their editors is really a wonderful and painful thing .

The beauty is naturally that as their editor, Sasaki has greatly improved in terms of salary and status in Yanbo Bookstore. As for the pain...

Because the two are very important to Yanbo Bookstore, and there are only two of them under his command—in other words, he only needs to deal with them wholeheartedly!but!

Refer to the time when the Armed Detective Agency came to find him, and you can see how difficult it is for Sasaki.

Not to mention the Armed Detective Agency, but the Port Mafia—one day Atsushi Nakajima will be unhappy and bring his subordinates to face him, his small body can't bear it!

Don't talk about this, just talk about Akutagawa Ryunosuke and Nakajima Atsushi himself.

The problem with the manuscript is easy to say, after all, there is no problem even if these two are closed for a few months, of course, there has not been such a problem so far.

It's his physical/mental health issues that bother him.

Everyone knows the problem of Akutagawa Ryunosuke, because of this problem, Akutagawa Ryunosuke's deadline for submission is even twice as late as that of Nakajima Atsushi.Although readers felt that the author's updates were too few at first, but under the concept of "my ghost teacher is not in good health" countless times instilled by Yanbo Bookstore, no major troubles occurred.

It's just that there are many more letters asking about the situation.

As for Atsushi Nakajima...

As we all know, Teacher Yuexia was an author of sweet essays at the beginning, but after the end of the first work—that is, half a year after Yuexia’s debut, his writing style and content began to take a sharp turn, becoming wrapped in sugar and blades flying together. , the posture of throwing the knife is really too skilled!

To ask why is...

"I'm really sorry, the work pressure of Hong Kong and black is really too great, and the mood is not good." The white-haired boy in black smiled innocently, "If you are in a bad mood, of course you have to find a way ~"

Sasaki: "..." So this is what you're thinking of?

Sasaki glanced at the excited Higuchi Kazuyo next to him.

He thinks he is already very conscientious!You know, among the two, Akutagawa Ryunosuke is really the one who talks the best!

"Mr. Akutagawa! To be honest! I have always been your loyal book fan!" Higuchi Ichiyo's speech caught the attention of the two people present.

Sasaki: "?" What?So I have fulfilled this girl's dream?Inexplicably felt that I was at a loss.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke: "?!" OMG? !Ichiyo Higuchi is his fan?This wave is not bad!

"Cough cough cough..." Ryunosuke Akutagawa, startled by Ichiyo Higuchi's words, coughed violently.

"Teacher?! Are you alright?!" Higuchi Ichiyo hurriedly stood up, she had heard rumors that my ghost was in poor health, and she believed it very much when she saw Akutagawa Ryunosuke.

"Ahem..." Akutagawa Ryunosuke waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.

It's just this cough that can't stop.

"Ms. Akutagawa! Have you brought medicine?" Obviously, Sasaki has much more experience. He knows that Akutagawa Ryunosuke is in poor health and often coughs, but generally there is nothing wrong with it.

Of course, now is definitely not an ordinary time.

Seeing Ryunosuke Akutagawa coughing on the table, he knew that he definitely didn't take it, so Sasaki skillfully took out the spray-type medicine carefully formulated with Dr. Yosano from his pocket.

------

"Cough, I'm sorry to scare you." Akutagawa Ryunosuke replied a little embarrassed.

Although he knew that there was nothing wrong with his body at all, he didn't know why he could come to the conclusion that he had lung disease when he was checked by the outside world.Even when he couldn't stop coughing, the medicine for treating lung disease that he had prepared with Yosano Akiko was actually really useful?

Although it is impossible to completely cure it, it can at least slow down the frequency of his cough, of course only when it is more serious.

This is why Akutagawa Ryunosuke has been trying to explain that he is healthy, but he has not been trusted by everyone. He only thinks that he is too stubborn and does not want everyone to treat him as a patient.

Of course, because of this reason, every time Akutagawa Ryunosuke tells everyone that he doesn't have to worry about being fine, he feels inexplicably guilty.

but!As a person with rich experience (for a lifetime) who doesn't feel weak at all, can Akutagawa Ryunosuke be reconciled?Can't!

Ever since, those who should say it have said it, but those who don't believe it still don't believe it.

"Teacher, I didn't tell you that you can't take medicine with you when you go out? Isn't it good to take it with you to prevent problems before they happen?" Editor Sasaki persuaded earnestly, although this kind of persuasion has appeared more than once so far, " Fortunately, this time I brought it with me, what would you do if you didn’t have it? Do you want to persist until you return to the Armed Detective Agency?”

No, I have never been able to stop coughing like this when there is no one around!Akutagawa Ryunosuke only felt that he was wronged.

Seeing his dissatisfaction, Sasaki knew that he couldn't persuade him, sighed, and threw the medicine bottle in his hand to Tongkou Ichiyo beside him: "Take it, you need to take it with you in the future." You're the one with this thing."

"I'm really fine..." Akutagawa Ryunosuke tried to win back his breath in front of Sasaki and his new editor, and defended.

"Yes, Mr. Akutagawa's body is very healthy. There is nothing wrong with it. We all understand." Sasaki began to coax people very skillfully, although in the ears of Akutagawa Ryunosuke, it was no different from perfunctory.

Knowing that no matter what he said, he couldn't change this fact, Akutagawa Ryunosuke simply broke the jar without saying a word.

Sorry, he should be used to it.

But it's really frustrating!

"Mr. Sasaki, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Akutagawa-senpai!" said Ichiyo Tsuguchi, who had just been the new editor of Akutagawa Ryunosuke, completely ignoring Akutagawa Ryunosuke's unattractive expression.

I'm really not sick!The little man in Akutagawa Ryunosuke's heart beat the ground helplessly.

"It's not just about taking good care of Akutagawa-sensei. You have to know that you are an editor, and the most important thing is to help seniors complete his manuscript." Sasaki reminded him that he was very worried. As a fan of Akutagawa Ryunosuke's books, Higuchi Ichiyo Become indistinguishable.

Facts have proved that his worries today are not without fault.

"Hi! Please don't worry!" But now, looking at the energetic girl in front of him, Sasaki only felt that his choice was not wrong.

Look, what a girl.

In fact, even Higuchi Ichiyo didn't expect that he would be so easy to become my ghost, that is, the editor of Akutagawa Ryunosuke.

Higuchi Ichiyo can be regarded as the earliest readers of Akutagawa Ryunosuke, but it is different from ordinary readers. After this girl read those works, she dreamed that one day she would meet this man who brought you such a wonderful book. A writer of bizarre worlds.

In fact, when she first came to Yanbo Bookstore to work, she might have hoped that she would be lucky enough to meet my ghost, but... She, who is so courageous, did not expect such a qualitative leap!

LUCK! ! !
