Chapter 57: After four years, do you want to go for a drink together?

Push open the door of Kajii's laboratory.

Looking at Kajii Motojiro who was feeling proud of his extraordinary military achievements after successfully bombing the enemy cruise ship and returning to headquarters unscathed.

Put on the chair, Hayana Takanashi and Chuuya Nakahara watched quietly as the man was bent over the experimental screen, typing on the keyboard, humming a song, and twisting his body.

You know what, he dances pretty well.

Noticing someone coming in, Kajii Motojiro trotted over to the person, looking frightened: "Ms. Kotori?!"

He was so shocked as if he had seen her dead body.

Hayana Takanashi: "..."

Hayana Takanashi: "Still alive."

"Of course I know!" After a brief moment of shock, Kajii Motojiro even looked a little excited: "I've never had the opportunity to study you, and now - this opportunity is right in front of me!"

"That's great! I'll probably know why you possess that extraordinary power soon."

He finally understood why the weather was so clear today.

Because of him! I was finally able to research Miss Takanashi!!!

"No need to study." Hayana Takanashi said proudly, "I was born with it!"

"I don't believe it!" Kajii Motojiro crossed his arms and scanned her up and down with his eyes like X-rays.

Not in the mood to listen to this science geek's nonsense, Nakahara Chuuya directly stated his purpose here: "She is exhausted. As long as Q's ability hasn't been used yet, we can't let her fall asleep. Is there any way to keep her awake and recover her strength?"

"There is a medicine." Kajii Motojiro became serious.

Nakahara Chuuya frowned: "What about the side effects?"

He realized the bad point. Kajii Motojiro's initial antics might have been intended to divert the subject.

Or rather, he is unwilling to give.

“It will cause some damage to the body.”

It is well known in the medical field that any special medicine that works quickly needs to be absorbed by the body of the person being injected.

Kajii Motojiro asked, "More...eh?"

The Gravity User, one of the five major cadres, simply carried the person away on his back.

The medical staff in the infirmary gave Hayato Nakatani an IV of nutrient solution, and he couldn't stop feeling sleepy.

"Say something," she said.

If you don't talk to her, she'll fall asleep.

"Yeah." Nakahara Chuuya said in a low voice.

In the quiet room where the sound of the clock could be heard, he said, "Thanks to Hayaseona, this place is empty."

"Don't flatter me." Hayana Kotori said with a smile, "Since I saved a lot of your subordinates, you should buy me a drink."

They haven't had a drink together in a long time.

A lot has changed in four years, including the way we get along with each other.

Nakahara Chuuya finally laughed out loud. His low laughter was so magnetic that it made people feel itchy inside.

Hayana Takanashi lifted her heavy eyelids and watched him finally relax for a moment from his seriousness.

The two of them started chatting about everything under the sun, talking about whatever came to mind.

From talking about food to the bars they often go to, when Hayato Takanashi talked about the gossip of the middle and high-level people in the Port Mafia, Nakahara Chuuya, who had never paid attention to it, listened quietly, and from time to time made a few surprised sounds that did not spoil the fun. Although he himself did not like gossip, he did not think there was anything to be surprised about.

But when Hayana Takanashi spoke to him, he listened patiently.

When talking about the strange things he encountered in life, Nakahara Chuuya's voice finally became high-pitched. With the rebellious spirit that was unique to his age, he recounted the thrilling events, funny and helpless encounters he had encountered with his eyes and eyebrows flying.

The minute hand on the clock moves rapidly.

As night fell, the leader's order finally came.

The Port Mafia collaborates with the Armed Detective Agency to defend against foreign attacks.

Dazai's prophecy once again became true in front of her.

When he received the order to leave, the young man stopped, as if he had made up his mind. He took off his hat, and his soft ochre hair covered one side of his eyebrow. The cobalt blue was like a starry sky, and the beauty of it made people indulge in it.

Nakahara Chuuya said that he had only been to Kotori's house once, and that time was a mess and left a bad impression on Kotori's mother. If possible, he hopes to have the chance to make it up to her next time.

"Okay." Hayana Kotori raised her little finger towards him. "When this matter is over, I will take you there. Although mom might scold you, I think you can handle it."

"Zhongyuan Zhongya is a kind, gentle, hardworking and capable man. No mother would dislike such a man."

The slightly rough little finger was hooked on the slender knuckles, and the young man's skin color appeared slightly darker against the woman's lighter skin color.

Interlace two fingers and hook them tightly.

Cobalt blue contrasts with ink.

"Agreed?"

"It's a deal!"

Holding the infusion bottle herself, Hayana Takanashi moved to the chair by the window and sat down.

Yokohama was sleeping peacefully a few dozen meters below. In such a quiet night, one could still feel... the subordinates who were trapped and unable to distinguish between friend and foe due to the influence of Q's supernatural power, attacking the supernatural barrier.

Like a drum, beating in the ears.

"Ms. Kotori?" A nurse-clad nurse came over and asked worriedly, "Do you need anything?"

"Please give me a cup of extra strong black coffee." Hayato Yato calmly looked out the window and said, "Also, I have an unreasonable request."

"If you don't have work right now, can you play games with me for a while?"

"Of course there is time! Thanks to Miss Takanashi, there were no major casualties this time... Please wait, I'll be there soon!" The medical lady clasped her hands together and hurried to prepare coffee and game cards.

The battle will surely begin soon.

Chuuya and Dazai collaborate again after four years.

Will win.

Originally an offensive psychic who often rushed to the front line, she experienced for the first time the feeling of being a support, sitting in the rear and waiting for the outcome of the battle.

——It’s amazing.

There is a feeling of nervous worry waiting for the husband to return from the war.

"Excuse me!"

A childish and lively voice came from a little girl in a red dress with blonde hair and blue eyes like a flower. She opened the door and saw the woman sitting by the window. She ran a few steps and threw herself into her arms. "I heard you wanted to play games, so I brought Rintaro here."

She smiled and spread out the cards in her hand like a fan: "Let's make Rintaro lose completely, right? Hayana."

"Alice?" As her hand caressed the girl's soft hair, Hayana Kotori looked at Mori Ogai who had walked in from behind. "Chief? I didn't expect you had time to come and see me now."

The current leader should be extremely busy.

Mori Ogai pulled a chair and sat opposite the black-haired woman. He said, "The battle plan has been arranged. Now we just have to wait for good news."

Then he asked, "Can your body still hold on?"

"Of course." She smiled brightly and proudly, "Before the results come out, even if I fall asleep, I will have nightmares."

"Let's play! Guess the size!" Alice placed the shuffled cards on the table that her subordinates had just brought in.

Watching Hayana Takanashi playing with Alice, Mori Ogai picked up the coffee in front of him, his crimson eyes sank. While thinking about the battle situation in front of him, he also understood what Dazai Osamu was planning.

Akutagawa and the Tiger.

He wants to cultivate a new generation of [Double Black].

Just like he trained him and Chuuya, he is now in his position, training a new powerful combination for Yokohama.

"Does the leader always feel this way?" After mentioning the size of a card, Hayato Kotori suddenly asked.

Holding a cup of coffee, Mori Ogai said calmly, "It's been a long time, and my spirit has become numb. This is also due to the fact that you often bring good news. The moment I plan the battle situation in my mind, the next thing that flashes is news of victory."

"If you don't take action this time, the Port Mafia will suffer heavy casualties."

The leader's words were suggestive, but Hayana Kotori simply said, "My duty."

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly felt calm, the calmness that came from not having her supernatural powers being attacked any further!

Mori Ogai hung up the phone he had just answered, a deep smile on his lips: "I won."

Kotori Hayato suddenly stood up. Even though her body was too exhausted to support her standing, she still stood up and looked at Mori Ogai with a sharp gaze: "Chief, I need permission to go out."

"Approved." Mori Ogai said, putting down the coffee in his hand.

Alice put down the cards in her hand: "Are you going to seek revenge?"

"Yeah, if I don't beat him up myself, I'll always feel regretful in my life."

…

Under the moonlight, a woman with a beautiful figure appeared on the devastated battlefield.

The battle just ended here.

There are large holes everywhere that were bombarded by gravity balls.

Noticing that Nakahara Chuuya had fainted on the ground, and in front of Dazai Osamu's astonished gaze, Hayana Kotori passed him by and walked up to the blond freckled boy in overalls who was about to leave. She narrowed her eyes and said, "You're the one with the ability to control plants, right?"

Without waiting for the boy to answer, she clenched her fist and concentrated all her strength to punch him!

The young man was knocked far away by a punch and fell to the ground. The surprise in his eyes had not yet disappeared, and he fainted.

The last thing the satisfied Hayana Kotori saw was the young man's gentle eyes. The next second after she fell into darkness, she saw a warm body and those words full of soothing tenderness.

"Thank you for your hard work, Hayana. Leave the rest to me."

I was thinking of bringing Chuuya back with me...

Now it seems that she overestimated her physical level.

Fortunately, Dazai is absolutely trustworthy, and there are no other forces here that can expose their relationships without any scruples.

No one can see it anyway.

When she woke up, she was in the medical room of the Port Mafia.

I heard from the medical staff that she had been in a coma for several days due to overuse of her special abilities.

Hirotsu Ryulang, who came to visit, said that when he was waiting outside the battlefield and was in charge of cleaning up the mess, he saw Dazai Osamu carrying her on his back and dragging Nakahara Chuuya with both hands, walking towards them breathlessly.

The battle with the [Combination] is over.

The final battle was ended by two young juniors.

The evening of the second day after the celebration banquet.

Hayana Takanashi walked out of the Port Mafia building.

She hasn't been home for a long time and wants to go home.

"Haasana."

A gentle and magnetic tone that is unique to young people.

She looked back and saw the gentle-looking Dazai Osamu and the visibly unhappy Nakahara Chuuya standing beside him in the setting sun.

"Do you have time to go to the bar we often go to for a drink?" he asked with a smile.

"It was Chuuya who invited me."

"Ah." Nakahara Chuuya admitted, his eyes softening. "What a rare opportunity, would you like to go together?"

For some reason, the tip of my nose feels sore.

Holding back the soreness in her eyes, Hayato Nakatani smiled widely and said, "Of course!"
