If I don't quit, I will be forced to usurp the throne.

There is only one person who can send me encrypted emails with the code name [ZERO]—my boss and cousin, Fuguya Zero.

And now Brother Ling has an undercover mission, since he contacted me at this time... there must be something important.

I deliberately went back to Mihua Town before decrypting the email to check.

[ZERO: Have you encountered any trouble recently? 】

"... Huh?" I showed a confused expression.Although I did encounter trouble... But why did Brother Zero know it so quickly?

I quickly replied: [When I was chasing down an organization, I was counter-killed. It has been resolved so far, but the leader has not been caught. 】

【ZERO: Be careful. 】

[ZERO: Recently, someone in the public security department attempted to investigate your file. 】

"..." I looked at the text message and couldn't help but startled.

If someone moved inside... It seems that the interior of the police is not so clean... Ah, forget about it, you should have thought of it.

That is to say... I didn't track down any information about the Rat of Dead Things, but instead, I was put together to find out my own details?No, it's impossible to find out the details, otherwise Brother Ling would tell me to be careful instead of telling me directly.

In other words... that is to say, you have already found out who I am, and then use this incident to find out what kind of person I am and find out my connections?

I thought about it, and felt that Mr. Dazai would not be counted, and it didn't matter if Akutagawa was counted. Anyway, I often plot against him, so I feel at ease.

"Well... I have to thank Mr. Dazai this time." I sighed in frustration, sat on the bed with my chin resting on my knees, stared at the phone for a while, and then looked up at the huddled mess on my desk. Sanhuamao on the screen, "Natsume-sensei, tell me... can I really do it?"

Natsume-sensei didn't speak, just looked at me quietly with his vertical pupils.

"...It's useless to ask you." I laughed, went to hold it on my lap, and then began to reply to Brother Zero.

【receive. 】

[Is everything ok with you? 】

[ZERO: It's okay. 】

【ZERO: By the way, remember to avoid people from the FBI in the future. 】

"...FBI?" I stared at the reply, tilted my head, a little confused.

Although I don't quite understand... Anyway, it's not a good thing to be an FBI, right?

[Rat of the Dead House] I can't continue the investigation...and I also met the enemy BOSS, so I have achieved my goal.

Although it is not 100% confirmed yet, it is still close to ten.That kind of temperament and style...not a BOSS, but also a high-level person.

The other party showed up in person, and even talked to me on purpose, such an obvious attitude...is it a provocation?Or are you confident that you will never get caught?

...I always feel so hot.After you catch the man, you must put him and the bear together to see who can win.

As for now... Originally, I wanted to use the police force to monitor the orphanage where Atsushi Nakajima lives, and pay attention to the movement at all times. Now it seems that the internal security of the police is not safe. In order to prevent Dundun from being exposed to others, I can only do it myself did it.

But... Now that my purpose has been exposed, it cannot be ruled out that the other party will strike first.

No, it's better to say...the opponent has already started to attack.Checking my profile is the purpose.As for my weakness... I couldn't help but start to frown and think.

Brother... PASS, brother is in Saitama and he is not weak, and the police are also protecting him, so don't worry if the opponent's forces can't leave Yokohama for the time being;

Brother Zero... even more PASS, Brother Zero himself will have no problems, but I need to worry about whether I will cause trouble for him;

My stupid Ododos and Sakile... now in Mihua Town, and Oda Saku, the biggest thing that happened was that the group of ordinary people killed someone and they ran into the scene of the crime... Speaking of it Why are there so many murders in Mihua Town, people's hearts are very floating;

Odasaku... Odasaku is very strong, and now he is far away from Yokohama, I am only worried that if something happens to me, the other party will rush over and cause him trouble;

In the case of Chuya... just like Brother Zero, nothing will happen to him at all;

Mr. Dazai... I'm more worried about other people's accidents.

So - after the statistics, in fact, I just need to protect myself, right?

Where did my weakness come from? On the contrary, I am someone else's weakness, which is almost the same!

"Ah... speaking of weaknesses..." I stared at the phone, my expression becoming serious.Generally speaking, villains like to let others do multiple-choice questions and watch others struggle.Among the people I worry about... there will be one person who will be caught in a dilemma.

If that happens...

I don't know if it's a tacit understanding, but when I was about to call, the other party called first.I froze for a moment, and quickly picked it up.

[Rokujo Chisaki——] The other party's tone didn't sound very good.

"Mr. Nakaya—!" I didn't care about this, and I took the lead in grabbing the conversation, and said with righteous indignation, "If Mr. Mori and I fell into the water, who would you save first?!"

【……ha?What nonsense questions are you asking all of a sudden?Just fall into the water, no matter which of you two don't need my rescue, right? 】

"This is a very serious question! And the problem is not about falling into the water! It's about choice!" I said seriously, "Answer me! Which one is more important, Mr. Sen or me!"

[Wait, wait a minute!Didn't you say before that public affairs and private affairs should be separated? 】

I was stunned for a while, and said in disbelief, "So you think Mr. Sen is more important than me?"

[I didn't say that...]

"That means I'm more important, right!" I said confidently.

【…】

The other party's silence made me pause, and my whole person became uncomfortable: "Huh?"

[Cough... Then, that's just as important? 】

I became even angrier: "...I actually have the same status as a pervert who is a young girl?!"

[Hello——] Mr. Nakaya's voice sounded a little helpless, and he muttered, [The nature of the two is different... Ah, wait a minute!wrong!How did it become you questioning me? ! 】

"What?! Chuya, you still want to question me!" I yelled confidently at first, then let out a yell, and after a moment of silence, I returned to normal decibels, and asked hesitantly, "What's the matter?"

【Today...you are in Mihua Town, right? 】

"Huh? Um...yes." After subconsciously answering, I came to my senses and blinked, "Huh? Could it be that you, Chuya..."

【Well... tell me a location. 】

"Mi, Mihua Park! It's near my house! I'll go there and wait for you now!"

After I finished speaking, I hung up the phone, quickly jumped up from the bed, opened the closet and stared at it for a while, then went to pick up Natsume-sensei and stood in front of the closet: "Come on, Natsume-sensei, which one do you think is better?"

The cat I picked up flicked its tail, calmly pointed its paws in one direction, and meowed.

"Will this coat be a bit thick...ah, but it will be colder at night, listen to you, let's take this one!" I quickly changed my clothes, ran to the mirror and tidied my hair casually, staring at it. After looking in the mirror for a while, he confirmed that there was nothing wrong, nodded, and went out directly, tiptoeing down the stairs so that no one would notice.

Mihua Park is not far from here, I ran over directly, and then saw a red-haired young man standing there at the gate of the park.

The other party was wearing a burgundy shirt, leaning on his own motorcycle, stood up and took two steps after noticing that I was coming: "Qian Saki..."

I ran up quickly and hugged each other with a bear hug, leaning my whole weight on him, with an uncontrollable excitement in my tone: "Zhongye Zhongye Zhongye—"

"Hey..." Zhong Yuanzhong probably didn't expect me to be so excited, he wrapped his arms around my waist with one hand, and his tone became a little unnatural, "Okay, do you need to be so excited..."

Still immersed in my own emotions, I turned my cheek and rubbed against the other person's hair: "Because this is the first time Chuya you have come to me on your own initiative."

Zhongyuan Zhongye: "..."

The other party's silence made me a little confused, and I let go to look at him: "Huh? What's the matter, Zhongya... um!"

Nakahara Zhong also raised his hand and pressed my head so that I couldn't move, as if trying to cover up something, his voice was higher than before: "It's nothing——"

Since the other party said so, I didn't delve into it, and continued to lean on him happily: "So, Chuya, are you here to see me?"

"Well, I wanted to ask...forget it."

I blinked with some doubts, but I sensed that the other party didn't want to talk more, so I didn't delve into it. After hugging enough, I let go and put my hands on the other party's waist.

Even if I was making trouble for no reason at first, I have already calmed down, let alone seeing the other party coming to find me...

and so……

"I was joking before, and I will try to avoid that situation."

"……Um?"

"I just thought about it seriously... If there is a situation where you have to choose between me and Mr. Mori, Chuya, you can choose Mr. Mori." I said seriously, "Because it is a business, so I am I won't mind the one who is given up... Ah, but in private matters, I must be the last one! No one can replace me!"

"Don't talk nonsense there——" What I didn't expect was that the other party refuted me in a bad tone, with anger on his face.

"...Huh?" I was stunned for a moment, let go of my hand, took a step back, turned my face away, and my voice became visibly frustrated, pointing my fingers there, trying to suppress the sour feeling in my heart, "Then... Well, it can be replaced, that's fine...but I will never give in to the most important point..."

"I didn't mean that!" The red-haired young man obviously became agitated, raised his hand to stroke his hair, stepped forward and grabbed my wrist with a tsk, and stared at me, "Don't put yourself in the wrong place without authorization." The class went to the abandoned side."

"...Well." I was a little dazed, and nodded subconsciously, "I understand."

……Huh?Was Mr. Chuya angry just because of this?

Zhongyuan Zhong also calmed down a little after hearing my answer: "Do you want to go back immediately?"

Before I came back to my senses, I blinked: "Huh?"

The other party turned around and overtook his motorcycle and walked away, looking away: "...I still have time today, do you want to go on a date?"

I was stunned for a long time before I realized it. I smiled, and I couldn't help but went up and hugged him from behind: "Yes!"

"...Don't hug anyone casually afterwards."

"Hey?"

"Hey what, give me an answer!"

"Yes--"

At this time, I didn't expect that the hypothetical scene I made in my wild imagination there would actually be staged later.
