Chapter 34 Sixteen Years Old (Part Two)

His first day as a sixteenth-year-old was spectacular. He captured Verlaine and Rimbaud without firing a single shot and obtained a ton of intelligence. Mori Ōgai even willingly gave out red envelopes to the younger generation.

He did as he was told and gave Chuuya Nakahara a two-week break.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and the sprite, who had been having so much fun, finally settled down and started going to the bookstore every day.

Regarding the traces of the world fragments, the fish-slacking master Ling began her search.

First, a book that can contain fragments of the world must be extraordinary; second, Kusuo Saiki said it was passed down by word of mouth.

Yao Chuanling racked his brains at the largest and most comprehensive bookstore in Yokohama, and with the help of the bookstore owner, finally found a book that perfectly matched his needs.

The diligent Master Ling sat on the sofa, with milk and strawberry daifuku beside him, engrossed in reading "The Complete Collection of Fairy Tales".

According to the shop owner, the stories in this book are well-known, and the plots are quite unusual.

The winter sun shone through the glass window onto her face, and her clear green eyes were fixed on the pages of the book without blinking.

"Little girl, this is for you."

Suddenly, an elderly man, dressed in fine clothes and leaning on an ebony cane, walked over. He placed a kitten plush toy on the table, his gaze as gentle as the winter sun.

He looked no different from an ordinary old man, but Yao Chuanling was familiar with the aura of death and could tell that he was nearing the end.

"I need a reason."

She closed the fairy tale book and looked at him, puzzled.

They had never met before, so why would they suddenly give her a gift?

She could sense that he had a purpose and an intention.

Yoshida Michiichi smiled gently, with a hint of nostalgia: "If I had to give a reason, it would be that you look a lot like my late granddaughter."

His granddaughter, like a chattering little lark, adored this kitten doll and brought it to visit him, the old man, every day.

Unfortunately, three years ago, her time stopped at the age of twelve.

He didn't mean anything by it; he just felt that his life was nearing its end, and seeing a young and lovely girl inevitably stirred up his emotions.

I hope you will always be happy and healthy.

After finishing his sentence, Yoshida Michiichi walked away, leaning on his cane.

There were too many spies following her; if she didn't leave soon, someone else might also be eyeing this young girl.

This conversation, which lasted less than a minute, came suddenly and ended abruptly.

Yao Chuanling gazed longingly at the kitten's blue eyes, and after a while, tapped its nose.

"Then you'll be following me from now on."

It's impossible to refuse an elder's longing for their children and grandchildren.

She would think of her mother, who also missed her.

However, no one expected that this would be the prelude to an eighty-day-long war for the dragon's head.

In Yokohama Rei's eyes, Yokohama had fallen into chaos from a very certain day.

She had no time to pay attention; wave after wave of people were harassing her, as if they wanted to get something from her.

Yao Chuanling swung his sword and cut the bullet in half.

She was being chased for over ten days, and the noise was keeping her up at night, so she was getting a little impatient.

"Who exactly sent you?"

I don't understand. They clearly can't beat her, yet they still keep coming forward one by one.

The assassin in black was entangled in vines and could barely move. Yao Chuanling randomly chose the one closest to her and held a knife to his neck.

“We learned from our spies that you had dealings with Yoshida Michiichi, and many people suspect that the treasure might be on you.”

Yoshida Michiichi was a famous wealthy man whose entire family had passed away, leaving behind a fortune of hundreds of billions that attracted the covetous eyes of many.

He placed all his possessions in a spatial weapon with supernatural abilities, which no one could open unless they had the same supernatural key.

She wasn't just being hunted by one faction; several factions had joined forces to hunt her down. Even if she had a good relationship with the port mafia, at this moment, no one could care about anyone else.

I see.

Yao Chuanling sensed something fishy.

The vines bound their limbs so tightly that they could only watch Yao Chuanling walk away.

The kind-hearted elf girl intended to spare their lives, but the mysterious man who slowly walked out of the grass clearly had no such intention.

"Oh dear. This is much easier to solve. Please go ahead and head to the Sanzu River."

He wore a faint smile, as if he were having a close conversation with an old friend.

The night secretly concealed this obscurity.

Those violet eyes looked with amusement in the direction Yao Chuanling had gone.

We will meet.

Yaochuan Ling didn't know who Yoshida Michi was, and that brief conversation didn't linger in her mind for long.

But for some inexplicable reason, she found the kitten doll.

It's like a toy that real children would like; she even bought a similar one for Yumeno Kyusaku.

Her intuition is comparable to super intuition, so she can't be wrong.

That's it.

The fairy gently closed the kitten's eyes with both hands.

"Rest in peace. I will visit your grave every year while I am here."

—That was his unspoken request.

The supernatural weapon was thus activated.

The doll revealed its true form.

Those two eyes are actually two sapphires on the key, and they are also the key to opening the key.

This was originally intended for his granddaughter.

Yao Chuanling's feelings were complicated at the moment. Her eyes wanted to cry on their own, and it had nothing to do with her.

The situation in Yokohama has spiraled out of control. She has the power, but lacks authority. Without power in this place, quelling the unrest will be extremely difficult.

She has found the right person.

"The Silver Oracle, I want it in exchange."

You can't let emotions get in the way during negotiations.

Besides, Mori Ōgai is usually ruthless when he's messing with her, and she only made a small request.

Mori Ōgai asked curiously, "What do you need it for?"

This child doesn't seem like someone who loves power.

Currently, the five positions of the top officers are vacant. In a few years, four of the five officers will be on good terms with her, and she will not need the Silver Oracle to command them at all.

"That name sounds cool."

She answered as a matter of course.

Mori Ougai often uses Chuuya as if he were two people, and he doesn't even spare young children like Ryunosuke and Komugi.

They actually let them go to the battlefield!

Yao Chuanling was unhappy, so she didn't want to give it to him for free.

"Here you go."

The leader readily agreed.

This is a sure-fire deal; compared to billions in assets, the development of the Port Mafia, and the stabilization of Yokohama, the Oracle of Silver is nothing.

He desperately needed the money.

"The unrest will soon subside."

Mori Ōgai never hid his ambition.

Also this month, the Port Mafia's Double Black gang became infamous.
