"..."

Probably too shocked?

I don't know why, but I feel quite calm, the kind of peace where my heart is blank.

This experience is a bit new for me.

……

"On the afternoon when I was taken into the mafia office, I was blindfolded and taken into a cell, where Hongjun was handcuffed..."

Ms. Suzuki lowered her head, as if she didn’t dare to look at me. Her hands on the table were clenched into fists, and she recalled to me with a trembling voice that she was arrested on the [-]th floor—the office area dedicated to the torture team under the name of Hongye.

"Those mafia took my blood for a test and found out that I was pregnant so I didn't execute the sentence for a while. At this time I heard the siren, and they hurriedly locked the door and left. I heard someone inside yelling 'two super alert' or something..."

"Then, that man appeared. He claimed to be the leader of the port mafia."

Ms. Suzuki seemed to have thought of some terrible scene. There was almost no blood on her face, and her hands were still shaking... I had no choice but to get up and pour her a cup of tea.

Facing the teacup I handed over, Ms. Suzuki's fingers curled up nervously, and finally reached out to take it cautiously.

However, she didn't drink tea. At this time, she looked at me with clear fear...and a subtle curiosity.

"He came to me personally and said that he hoped that I could help them keep a... powerful supernatural being like Xiaojing——"

"'You understand, too, don't you?'"

"'Takai-san and you two are able to stand here with healthy limbs, thanks to the blessing of the child who has been captured by my subordinates. His destructive and powerful supernatural ability, in this situation Stern strategically, it's a perfect fit for a port mafia now at war.'”

"'Assuming you still want to leave Yokohama safely with Mr. Takai, let's make a deal?'"

"—that's what the lord told me."

After more than two years, I found that Ms. Suzuki was able to repeat that passage completely and word for word.

Except for a slightly trembling tone, there is almost no difference from the old father himself standing in front of me speaking.

"The words I told you in the coffee shop are all instructions from that adult to me." She was very depressed, her eyes were flushed, and she looked at me sadly and guiltily, "Xiaojing, I'm sorry, I'm sorry too There's no way-"

I shook my head, "It's okay."

What to say?

It was not beyond my expectation that the old father would do such a thing, he was already super cautious.

Furthermore, for me at the time, a few casual words from Ms. Suzuki were even more effective than Dazai's smooth tongue.

If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to make good use of the opponent, it will be inconsistent with the leader's usual practice of choosing the best solution.

However, from another point of view, the vested interests of the whole thing should also have my share.

"Everyone in the organization takes good care of me, and the leader also attaches great importance to me." I touched the collar on my neck, "Ms. Suzuki should not blame herself for a few words, but for indirectly helping me find me." Shelter, and happiness is the right thing to do."

— After all, what I got was a home.

However, it was only the price of "being stepped on the head twice" and "killing an organization". Even if I add a little "being deceived" now, I feel that I have made a lot of money.

"Little Jing..."

Ms. Suzuki seemed to be holding back her tears. She stared at me for a long time, and then suddenly began to cry in a low voice, "I'm really sorry...I, I originally wanted to take good care of you..."

"It really doesn't matter, after all Miss Suzuki did take good care of me at that time,"

I recalled the month when I was half-adopted by Ms. Suzuki, and when I thought about it carefully, it was all warm and funny little bubbles:

For example, while she was cooking, she suddenly realized that she had mistaken the seasonings for my ingredients and Nyotaro's ingredients, and finally had to switch the portions of the three (?).

For example, she relentlessly pressed me to change my medicine...and, and take a bath...cough.

"However, it would be a lie to say that I'm not sad at all. But it's been such a long time, even I should have grown up somewhat."

the feeling of being coveted;

the feeling of being hated by the remnants of the enemy;

The feeling of being scorned by peers who desire protection;

The feeling of being betrayed by people close to you.

Strange and bitter, it is indeed the suffering combined with human life, the sin that cannot be washed away by the creatures on the earth no matter what, and the tragedy that the gods will cry and lament for.

but……

The Ferris wheel is beautiful, and so is Yokohama.

When commanded by Dazai's lazy voice to attack the stronghold of the hostile organization, even if there is a sea of ​​swords and swords in front of him, he seems to be fearless.

When Mr. Nakaya stood behind him with an impatient face and protected him, it didn't matter even if the enemy on the opposite side was that adult.

It is also very happy to be patted on the head by the boss, and it is also very happy to be confiscated by the elder sister who squeezed the ear and confiscated the game console.

All these sufferings and beauty were brought to me by you at the beginning.

From that pale room;

From marshmallows that can only be sweetened to the point of numbness in the tongue;

From the command given by that lord, the only thing I know is to use [V] endlessly to take away all lives.

It is obviously more common than the wild flowers that can be seen everywhere on the roadside, and you are so weak that you can't even stop others from being malicious.

But with a moment of kindness, I was saved like this.

the most important is--

I put my face on my face and looked at Ms. Suzuki with a confused face and even some hiccups from crying too much just now with a smile on her face.

"—mangoes are really delicious."

It can compete with a full box of "God-given Pandora", so [Mango/Hope] is indeed the best... second best thing in the world.

Even if there is only a little fragmentary remnant, it is an irresistible delicacy.

……

……

"It is also based on this that I can finally assure you now."

I smiled at her, "You can go back to your daily life with confidence, and no one from the port mafia will disturb your life and your daughter's life in the future."

"As for..."

Oops, what's Mr. Boyfriend's last name?

In order to maintain my reliable image, it is better to ignore the past here.

So I had to ponder for a moment, pretending to be deep, "What happened to that gentleman is very regrettable, but I can assure you that it has nothing to do with the port mafia."

Even if it is indeed the leader who made the move, it can only be "has nothing to do" with me.

However, even if I remove all my trust in my old father and analyze it from a purely rational point of view, I can understand that this matter was not his handiwork.

The Takase Club and his ilk are already a thing of the past, and the value of the intelligence agents they belong to is even lower than that of the city police on duty in a certain cadre in Yokohama.

Besides, since the Dragon Head War, the leader's biggest worry every day is arguing with the difficult "Daylights".Even if they can't agree on a small matter, the port mafia is likely to become the next target of [Hound Dog].

Picking such a strategy at such a time to "split manpower to solve the private affairs of the internal members, plus give the opposite side a free hand" is definitely not in line with the style of that man Mori Ogai who is always pursuing reason and logic.

Yes, I finally (mentally) called the head of Port Mafia by name once.

Fortunately, I foolishly thought that that kind and suspicious Dr. Sen might really want to help me find the way to the future...

It turned out to be a routine!

As expected of Dazai's teacher!

Dirty as a heart!

I bit the sushi in my mouth fiercely, imagining it as myself who was dizzy after being coaxed by two sweet words.

And I decided to steal all of Alice's little skirts after I go back, so that this perverted young girl can taste the feeling of being warm in front of a cute figure but having no clothes to change!

Is there a rule in the port Mafia that says [Only the leader is allowed to hold grudges with narrow eyes]? (╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻

……

……

In the end, Ms. Suzuki didn't say anything more, just like an ordinary mother, she took her daughter's hand and left.

Before leaving, she told me that she would check out with the landlord this month, and then leave Tokyo with her daughter to live in a city in the south with a warmer climate.

But I didn't leave my phone number and address like the last time we parted.

I said goodbye to her very calmly, then turned around and sent an email to my subordinates: "From now on, arrange a follow-up for the lady I just met, plus a monitoring report for the next month's schedule. It will be canceled if she leaves Tokyo. 』

Regardless of whether Ms. Suzuki has hidden intentions or not, she is currently the one who has shown hidden hostility to the port mafia.

Although she concealed it very well, I found that she didn't believe my words at all, and even the guilt-filled confession just now was doubtful.

after all--

"How are you talking?"

Ji Tian walked over with two plates of sushi... Didn't he take those expensive ingredients that he claimed to like very much?

So you just said that just to make room for Miss Suzuki and me?

Really considerate.

I took the menu again and looked through it.

"Talking about her family's Meowtaro and so on. When I was under her care, I would often be shown pictures of cats."

"Is that white cat? That's right. Miss Gao and Ms. Suzuki usually talk about it when they meet. Except for Xiao Wei, it's that fat cat. Every time I go to get a lunch, I have to listen to her say a few words... Stop, stop, stop, stop." Order more, we can’t eat so much.”

——She likes cats so much, she never mentioned her pets in a word.

It's a subconscious protective act, just as she tries to avoid mentioning her daughter's name in front of me.

Maybe he was deceived by a weird person like the leader again.

But this is her own will.

Miss Suzuki is not responsible for... my mood.

Similarly, all I can do is to protect her from this Tokyo city that has already faintly smelled of gunpowder.

……

"Stop talking about that, Ji Tian-kun."

I looked at the simple and clear "OK" on the phone screen, and then thought that I was about to approach one of the goals, and my originally gloomy mood became a little lighter.

"Kitano-kun, you should know about Orihara Rinya, right?"

"You mean Orihara... Orihara Rinya...?"

Ji Tian's cheerful expression, which was as bright as the afternoon sun, seemed to cool down in an instant, as if he had thought of something very unpleasant, and there was a little fear and anxiety in his dark brown eyes.

"That's the right name."

Ji Tian's current mental state vaguely reminds me of myself who was covered in black mud by Dazai back then.

Do unto others, do not impose on others.

Although his expression does not look like that kind of person's accomplice, but it is obvious that he has a certain degree of karma with the other party, whether it is good or bad (the probability of the latter definitely accounts for more than 90.00%).

In order not to irritate him, I had no choice but to speak as lightly as possible,

"That should be a difficult guy, right? He has caused me a lot of trouble for no reason. I really want to find him and give him a hard punch."

But obviously, Kida is not that easy to deceive, or my disguise and confession skills are really dwarfed by those of Dazai, and his request for information was directly rejected by him.

"Although I don't know who you are, Jing, you must be far from an ordinary high school student like me."

He took a sip of the orange soda and said as if he had made up his mind:

"If you just want to visit Tokyo, it's fine, and I'm willing to serve you as a reward for this meal. But I don't want to get involved in the affairs between you people. The current life is already very difficult for me. Satisfied."

Now?

I keenly grasped the information leaked from Ji Tian's words.

Ji Tian showed too much resistance before, it seems that it is a little difficult to find a balance between fulfilling the leader's order and maintaining his safety.

Although [absolutely obey the orders of the leader] is the first of the three iron rules of the port mafia, I don't want to hand over my acquaintances to Miss Yanji from the Tokyo branch.

Or try again?At least say something first?

If it doesn't work, I can't...

"There is no need to provide me with accurate information about that 'Orihara Rinya of Shinjuku', just tell me roughly what kind of person the other party is."

"I'll go find him myself, but at least let me know what kind of person he is?"

I was trying to continue to persuade Ji Tian, ​​but I was keenly aware of a cold gaze coming from the left side.

"—The swordfish nigiri and caviar salad you ordered, please use."

A tall-nosed, deep-eyed man in a white chef's uniform was gently placing a plate next to me. The moment I looked up, the eyes of both sides collided—like two lions in their respective territories. Guarding each other on the border, roaring angrily, eager to try to tear each other's throats, but they had to endure forcibly for the [cubs] behind each other.

It belongs to the murderous intent of the inhabitants of the other world who took the lives of others.

"..."

I don't know if it's because I've been with Mr. Nakaya for a long time, but I feel like my personality has become a bit aggressive...?

But now that Ji Tian is next to him, let's be patient for now.

I force my attention away from the chef, "Thank you."

With the opponent making no secret of his murderous intent and being extremely close to me, it was a little difficult for me, who was used to attacking the enemy first, to keep calm.

After all, melee combat is one of my most fatal weaknesses.

"We are also apprehensive when a big man from Yokohama suddenly visits the store,"

The head chef of Lucia Sushi suddenly lowered his volume halfway through his speech, "But this is a small business, I wonder if the ingredients here can satisfy you."

…………………no?Going off the horse again?

It's my first day in Ikebukuro?

Are you Tokyoites all so well-informed? !

Facing Ji Tian's suspicious gaze, I swallowed hard, and tried to ease the atmosphere, "Mr. Chef, you misunderstood, I just came in to eat sushi... Sushi is also delicious."

The chef didn't respond to my words, he didn't look at me or Ji Tian, ​​but stared at the empty plates on the table expressionlessly, "Although the customer is God, if you are scared away by these terrible words Customers, our store is also going to lose money."

...Yes, yes, this is a restaurant for ordinary people (?) instead of the hall where the high-level officials of Port Mafia gather, so casually saying these words will definitely attract attention.

Even Oda Saku, who is not proficient in worldly affairs, once taught me the proper rules in this regard, such as "Don't trouble the restaurant owner like Dazai".

and many more?

Will it be like Dazai...?

Hi.

I immediately reflected on myself seriously, "Sorry."

Obviously, he had already apologized very sincerely, but the chef seemed to choke on the rice ball he had bitten off.

Then he didn't know where he took out the plate, and continued to bring up a few full-bodied sashimi with natural movements.

Wait, this is considered commercial fraud, right?Don't say that there are so many questions, none of us can't eat anymore? !

……

"...Many, thank you for your hospitality."

Ji Tian said weakly lying on the table, but although he was weak, his expression was much better than the tense expression just now.

It seems that just like what Simon said just now, filling the stomach with sushi can solve more than 80.00% of the problems.

That's it, I never knew that this traditional Japanese meal has such a magical effect.

I don’t know if Dazai likes sushi, he’s always been preoccupied (and gradually blackened) recently...

"so,"

I took out my wallet and went to the bar to pay the bill. By the way, I recalled the travel plan Ji Tian had mentioned before, "Are you going to buy books tomorrow?"

"No problem!" Ji Tian seemed to be cheered up at this time, and he made an appointment with me to gather at the gate of his school when school was over tomorrow afternoon, full of energy.

Originally, he also said that he would take me back to the hotel, but before he reached the door of the store, his phone rang.

"Moshi Moshi, Teijin?"

I only vaguely heard such a sentence.

Ji Tian seemed to be on the phone with his acquaintances. I took out my mobile phone while waiting for him to end, and started chatting with Aite Dazai in the group chat. According to his previous request, I told him everything that happened here.

When working as a team, Dazai is in charge of the chain of command, and Mr. Nakaya and I are in charge of completing the mission.

After all, that guy's advantage lies in this aspect. His brain is simply easier to use than a supercomputer. It would be a pity not to make good use of it.

"Excuse me, please excuse me." Someone said behind my back.

"..... Now I plan to play with netizens for two days, and wait until there is news from 99 House Shinichi."Do you have any books to bring? @黑衣 also, do you have anything to bring (≧▽≦)』

I was still busy typing, and when I heard a voice behind me, I just said "sorry" casually and moved away.

Unexpectedly, the other party did not leave directly, but put a bag of things beside me,

"This is what was on the seat where you stayed just now. Did Mrs. Gao Jing forget to take it away?"

I looked up, and the person in front of me was a young man of short stature carrying a familiar shopping bag.

The first thing people notice is his slightly feminine, extraordinarily beautiful and delicate appearance, which can almost be regarded as the same level of appearance as Dazai in terms of style.

Then there are the fur collar shawls and fluffy hats on her body......... The fluffy hat?

How do I feel, I seem to have seen this set of equipment somewhere?

Before I could recall what happened, I heard the chef at the bar say something to the young man in Russian.The young man also turned his head away, and responded to him with a smile.

It turned out that he was also Russian.

Think about it carefully, it should be my illusion?

This shop was originally Lucia Sushi opened by the Russians, so it's no surprise that fellow villagers living near Ikebukuro would come to support it.

In Chinatown in Italy, the customers of Chinese restaurants are basically local Chinese immigrants and tourists.

... Am I thinking too much?

But the other party is indeed a physically weak man?

"Thank you."

I took the shopping bag and thanked him. He shook his head with a gentle smile, "You're welcome. It's my honor to help you."

Ordinary people would not be so polite to talk to a 16-year-old kid with long hair. I watched this Russian calmly opened the door and left the sushi restaurant, so I inevitably paid more attention.

But speaking of Russia...

I don't know where he is yet, but the leader of the [Rat of the Dead House] in Siberia—the "devil" who colluded with Officer A and leaked information about people with supernatural powers in the organization—is the ultimate goal of my mission. .

When I asked Dazai about it, he just said "Give up, you can't beat him".

And the intelligence department doesn't have any more information, I don't know the height, weight, age, and appearance... This is also normal, all aspects of information about the leader of my family are also top-secret, and since he took office, he can hardly be found on the market—but it is different If there is a secret service department, there should still be one?

"I'm sorry, Shen Hai," Ji Tian hung up the phone and walked towards me, "My friend said he had an accident, I'll take you back to the hotel first, and then I'll go to his house to have a look... Eh? Are you here? Did you see the ad for the pet store?"

"Yeah, I think this is cute."

"...Are you a girl?"

"?"

——If you want to deal with mice, should you just raise a cat?

The author has something to say:

Dazai: Meow~

In the first game of the cat-and-mouse war, the cat won by relying on "knowledge of friends", but the mouse did not lose everything.

It's only the first game, isn't it?

Dazai: Did you see Majin-kun, if you use the original method again, it won’t work. Instead, you will startle the snake—my bad-tempered child will crush you into small pancakes.

Tuo Si: It's scary, Mr. Dazai. After two years of seeing each other, you all have grown up. It's really gratifying—how do you know that I didn't let someone try him on purpose?

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, just ignore all the words above that broke the watch twice ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah how I wrote it

I decided to write a small script for each chapter...a small theater, namely "Mafia's Tweeting Daily at Port Today" and "Ikebukuro Studio Highlights Editing"
