Ability name The Tale of Genji

After the nightmare, Mori Ogai did not fall asleep all night.Until the next day, he was still thinking about the dream that seemed to have some kind of premonition, but he was soon distracted by new worries and work.

The most troubling thing for Mori Ogai at the moment is Chuya Nakahara's attitude.The loyal subordinate who is least likely to lose the chain, but because he recognized his ideas too much, he refused Yuan Xiwu's ascension to the throne.Such a situation made Mori Ogai feel relieved, but also inevitably a headache.

In this way, you can only start with others.Hongye definitely has no objection, it will be a great comfort to her to see that the older child can stay with her.

however……

"In this matter, I will stand on the same side as Chuya." The beautiful woman in kimono smiled lightly, and lightly helped her hair bun, "A flower in the dark? Of course Yugiri is, but not necessarily as the leader. In Even if you stop at the position of a cadre, you can still bloom.”

Koye Ozaki glanced at Mori Ogai's hairline in pity, and murmured in a daze.

"After all, so beautiful, so cute..."

She seemed to be able to see that scene, Yuan Xiwu raised the tail of her hair long, her black hair glowed with a dark purple streamer, thick and lush, and the most important thing was that the hairline would not move back.Then he can occasionally wear a kimono that matches the color of Koyo Ozaki. In Mafia, a port where the clothes tend to be Western-style, Genyugiri, who is always dressed elegantly, is undoubtedly the comfort of Koyo Ozaki.

Ah, of course, don't move the hairline back.

Mori Ogai: "..."

There are more strange obstacles!

Mori Ogai summoned Akutagawa Ryunosuke with his last hope.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke: "...Isn't that Mr. Dazai?!!"

He was so shocked that his whole body seemed to be split open, his lips trembled slightly, and he couldn't help coughing out.

"Why isn't the next leader... Dazai-san..."

"Mr. Dazai is...cough cough...the most suitable candidate, cough cough cough..."

"I... I can't agree with cough cough cough cough!"

Akutagawa Ryunosuke was forced to leave the chief's office early because of his agitation and coughing too much.Mori Ogai crossed his fingers to support his forehead, and fell into a long silence.

Why?

He once thought that the biggest resistance to making Yuan Xiwu the leader came from Yuan Xiwu himself, and he took many measures for this, but now everyone told him... They all think that Yuan Xiwu is not suitable to be the leader? ? ?

...It's almost like a string of confessions.

Make a statement?

"Where is Dazai-kun?"

The subordinate was taken aback for a moment, and then replied with some doubts.

"Didn't Mr. Dazai... be on a business trip?"

Mori Ogai: "..."

It's not Osamu Dazai doing something about it!

Then, perhaps this resistance is indeed from the heart.Mori Ogai pondered for a while, and then he thought of another person, Guangjin Liulang with the name of [Luochun], a veteran who had experienced two generations of leaders of the port Mafia.This is a mature and old-fashioned Mafia, and his answer must be based on the interests of Mafia at the port.

Unexpectedly, Mori Ogai once again received an unexpected result.

"Even you don't think it's appropriate?"

"Yes."

"Can you give me a reason?"

Guangjin Liulang was silent for a few seconds, a long memory buried deep in his heart seemed to flash across his eyes, but with the flickering of his eyes, he pressed that memory back into the bottom of his heart.He stood in front of Sen Ou with a steady tone.

"I think Mr. Yugiri, as a cadre, can maximize the benefits of Port Mafia."

***

After closing the door of the chief's office, Guangjin Liulang sighed softly.He walked forward with his hands behind his back, walking in the brightly lit corridor.The surrounding scenery seems to have suddenly turned back to the past. When the previous leader was seriously ill, this long corridor was full of haze, and everyone looked at the road, waiting for the moment when the end came.

And then... breaking into that suffocating haze was...

Guangjin Liulang picked up the phone, and the person on the other side said something briskly, but he just listened quietly, and finally said.

"You don't need to say much, Mr. Dazai."

"I'm just saying these words from the interests of the port Mafia, and I don't intend to let Mr. Yugiri go, because that also means loss."

Osamu Dazai on the other end of the phone smiled.

"Isn't that enough?" he said. "As long as you stop the cadres, there are thousands of ways to get out, but once you become the leader... it's another matter."

Guangjin Liulang heard the words and continued.

"Master Hongye also made the same judgment."

"I'm not surprised at all. Don't look at the fact that they don't seem to meet each other. Sister Hongye loves Xiwu very much."

"Okay, let's not talk, I will go back this weekend."

"Mr. Dazai..."

"how?"

That old matter was lingering between his lips and teeth, unable to spit it out, Guangjin Liulang could only sigh long in the end.

"No, nothing."

As soon as he hung up the phone, Guangjin Liulang met Yuan Xiwu who came to this floor to hand in the report.The word "Confidential" was printed on the file bag, and the young quasi-cadre's haori fluttered through the promenade, which was one of the few scenery in the port Mafia.Guangjin Liulang immediately stood still and nodded slightly.

"Mr. Yugiri."

"Ah, it's Mr. Liu Lang." Yuan Xiwu stopped immediately, looking a little embarrassed, "Please don't use honorifics to me, your qualifications are much older than mine, and so is your age. If you don't mind, please call I'll be 'Evening Mist'."

Guangjin Liulang lowered his head a little lower.

"Mr. Yugiri."

Yuan Xiwu didn't have a good solution, so he had no choice but to bow to the other party.Because there are still tasks, we can't delay here any longer. After this short meeting, Yuan Xiwu continued to hurry forward, and Guangjin Liulang watched him leave from where he was.

Just now, Hirotsu Yanagi was about to confide in Osamu Dazai. Will the guilt that he always harbored in his heart disappear with the confidance of that part of the past?He couldn't answer.

Mr. Dazai only knows that Yuan Xiwu came all the way up from the reference room, but everything has a source. In the dark years when the two generations of leaders alternated, the secret of how Yuan Xiwu entered the reference room is now only Guangjin Liulang know.

Every time he thought about it, he was silent and guilty.

***

Mori Ogai did not disclose to Yuan Xiwu that Peng Gelie was about to visit. If Osamu Dazai hadn't been on a business trip, he might really be able to pack Yuan Xiwu for a business trip.But now that a cadre is no longer there, and the quasi-cadre Yuan Xiwu leaves again, Mafia at the port will inevitably lose face when facing the Pengel X family.

However, Yuan Xiwu had already received the news, and with an innocent face, he listened to Mr. Mori talking about his going to Kitano Tenmangu to participate in the ceremony next month.

"I don't have any problems here." Of course Yuan Xiwu wished for a business trip.He knew that this was the opportunity Mr. Wu Tiao had won for him. He was grateful and determined to make good use of this free time.

Wujo Satoru, who was thinking behind his back, sneezed loudly and blew up the previous few pages.Some old papers fluttered everywhere, Gojo Satoru's eyes were covered by blindfolds, as long as he pursed the corners of his lips, others would not be able to tell his expression.

Xia Youjie is still alive.

Gojo Satoru still remembers that day, at sunset on December 12th, he killed his best friend with his own hands.

At present, there are only two possible inferences——

First, Xia Youjie came back from the dead.

Second, Xia Youjie never died.

No matter what kind of inference it is, it sounds absurd to ordinary people, but Gojo Satoru is not laughing.He let out a long breath and continued to look through the records of that year.He also called Yi Guyoutai who was far away abroad, hoping to find clues from the details recalled by the person involved.

There's still half a month until next month...

Some things, if he didn't communicate with Yuan Xiwu, he would have no one to communicate with.

He looked out the window, and it was raining patter outside the window.

Xia Youjie put away the oiled paper umbrella, shook off the water droplets on it, and walked to the corridor.Hua Yu sat there, her figure was like an ancient tree, and she was holding a lump of strangely shaped flesh in her hand.

"Hasn't it grown yet?" Xia Youjie glanced sideways, and Hua Yu shook his head slightly.

[The real person has suffered too much damage, it will take time to grow from a little flesh and blood. 】

The mass of flesh and blood squirmed, squirmed, Xia Youjie hid the look of disgust in his eyes, and kept smiling.

"Fortunately, the mouth hasn't grown yet, otherwise the courtyard will be filled with 'Little Highness' and 'Little Highness'."

【…】

"You look depressed."

【I do not understand. 】Hua Yu lowered her head deeply, 【We are companions, why would he not hesitate to attack the real person? 】

"He is not your companion now, he will be after death."

【…】

The lump of flesh and blood made a strange sound, Hua Yu listened attentively for a while.

[The real person said that your existence has been exposed to Gojo Satoru, and asked what your next plan is. 】

Xia Youjie was silent for a while, and amidst the sound of rain, he smiled relaxedly.

"I myself didn't think about how long it would take to hide it. Because I know that I will definitely not be able to resist going to see the little Highness to get his answer. It would be best if I could take the initiative to dedicate myself. Start fighting like your enemies."

"During the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk incident, I faked my death, in addition to gaining a few years to develop my power, the most important thing is to confirm one thing."

Xia Youjie slowly raised his eyes, thousands of intertwined and twisted raindrops were reflected in his eyes.

"—Confirm whether His Royal Highness is by Gojo Satoru's side."

【...If it is there. 】

"Then, it must be the little highness who has become the curse spirit, and the Wujo Wu who has obtained the little highness who has become the curse spirit." Xia Youjie laughed softly. He laughed louder and louder, and finally almost burst into tears of sorrow. .

"That kind of combination is the real ceiling, no one in this world can beat its edge! What else am I struggling for? What else am I pursuing? Everything is meaningless, Gojo Satoru with the terrifying amplifier... Ha! Ha ha ha ha!"

His laughter stopped abruptly.

"If that's true."

"I'm going to die."
