Chapter 117: Do good deeds in Yokohama!
“That guy…”
Nakahara Chuuya, who arrived at the agreed location wearing a hoodie, glanced at the players left and right.
Not seeing the annoying figure, he was clearly relieved. "Forget it, it's better if he doesn't come."
Just by understanding the meaning of the conversation, it is easy to have associations and misunderstandings related to possessiveness.
When I turned my gaze to Nakahara Chuuya's face, all I could see was his sincere and frank expression.
"That guy, Dazai, his guardian is the personal doctor of the leader of the port mafia." Nakahara Chuuya, who was walking side by side with the player, explained the reason to her in a calm tone.
Or is it because of the different camps’ positions?
The relationship between Sheep and the Port Mafia... perhaps it can be described as as hostile as fire and water?
Fushimi Kyoji wasn't sure if the port mafia also held the same hatred towards the 'sheep'.
The Port Mafia is a massive organization. The only Port Mafia member the player knows is Guangjin Liulang, and he won't specifically mention any rival organizations to the Port Mafia during conversations.
"You can say that," said Nakahara Chuuya.
"At this point in the conflict between Sheep and the Port Mafia, which could erupt at any moment, it's no longer relevant to determine who is at fault. Sheep is desperate to inflict a heavy blow on the Port Mafia, and there's no way he'll treat anyone connected to them kindly."
Fushimi Kyoji suddenly realized: "So, it doesn't matter if you're like me."
It has nothing to do with the Port Mafia. Even if the 'Sheep' sees the player with him, he will not receive the same strong reaction as Dazai Osamu.
"Yeah." Nakahara Chuuya's tense expression gradually relaxed, and his face finally showed some relief.
Fushimi Kyoki nodded as if he understood something: "So, where are we going?"
"It's been so long and you only remember to ask..." Having said that, Nakahara Chuuya honestly answered the player's doubts.
“This is the route I patrol every day.”
He made a rough outline: "Morning and evening I will circle around the Sheep's base."
Fushimi Kyoji said solemnly: "Like a lion in its prime patrolling its territory."
"...Be careful or I'll beat you up!" Nakahara Chuuya threatened silently.
His expression softened, belatedly realizing something was wrong. "...If you find this boring, you can wait for a few minutes. I'll finish my inspection and then go somewhere else."
"Would Chuuya prefer to patrol alone?" The player asked Chuuya Nakahara with an inquisitive spirit.
Nakahara Chuuya realized that he was completely out of sync with the player's train of thought: "Why do you ask that?"
"The few times I saw Chuuya, he was always alone," said the player.
One person searches for missing members, one person goes out, and one person patrols.
However, the lone ranger would not agree to act with them before, right?
"Ah, so that's what you're talking about..." Nakahara Chuuya replied, seemingly nonchalantly. "Originally, we were patrolling in shifts, but I'm more efficient when I'm alone, and I can handle any problems quickly, so I split up and patrolled separately."
"This is the one!" The player suddenly had an idea.
Zhong Yuanzhong couldn't help but wonder what she was going to say.
The player clapped his fists together: "Only herbivores travel in packs, tigers always walk alone!"
"Are you suffering from chuunibyou?" Nakahara Chuuya lost his voice.
"Hey, that's over there..."
Fushimi Kyoji paused, and at the same time, Nakahara Chuuya also noticed several children gathered on the street.
He called out several names in succession and asked in confusion, "What are you doing here?"
Observing that everyone had a blue bracelet on their wrist, the player realized that they were all members of the "Sheep".
"Chuya!"
As soon as they saw Chuuya Nakahara, several people immediately gathered in the player's direction, talking about what they had discovered during their patrol.
"We encountered a suspicious guy while patrolling around the base."
All the members of 'Sheep' surrounded Nakahara Chuuya, allowing the unattended players to get a clear look at the person they were talking about.
The young man in the cloak raised his hand to hold down the beret on his head to prevent it from falling. The ends of his hair around it naturally curled up, and he wore a pair of old-fashioned black-framed glasses on his nose.
While the player was observing him, he also opened his green eyes and allowed the player to look at him.
"What's wrong with him?" Nakahara Chuuya frowned and asked his companions.
"He said he got lost and got here..." The person being asked was vague, and looked at the other person with a strange look, as if he was wary, or afraid of something.
"You are..." Nakahara Chuuya's eyes fell from the other person's face to the somewhat messy, but exquisitely styled clothes. He confirmed something, "You got separated from your family?"
Thinking of his companion's reaction, Nakahara Chuuya checked back and forth and found that the other party didn't seem to have anything special.
"Of course you can't see it with the naked eye, the difference is here, here." The boy who called himself Edogawa Ranpo pointed at his temple with his index finger.
Nakahara Chuuya's expression was a little strange, as if his inner thoughts were being seen through...
"'As if you know what I'm thinking', is that what you think?" Edogawa Ranpo pushed his glasses and said complacently.
The player was shocked: "It's really suspicious!"
"He's wearing a pair of glasses without prescription!"
"What's suspicious is his ability to see through people's minds!" The lambs complained to Shark Tooth from behind, "If he didn't notice, he shouldn't pretend to be so sharp!"
"Hehe, this is my special ability—super reasoning!" He said proudly, pressing the frame of his glasses. "With this ability, my brain will integrate and categorize all the information I see. No matter how complex the event, just one glance..."
Fushimi Kyoki turned to Nakahara Chuuya and asked, "Are you going to help find his guardian and send him back?"
"Ah, that's probably the only way." said Nakahara Chuuya.
Being ignored, Edogawa Ranpo puffed up his face in dissatisfaction.
"I'll get the men out of Leibo Street first. You guys continue patrolling near the base." Nakahara Chuuya emphasized, "Don't stray too far from the base, and don't sneak into the Port Mafia's territory while I'm gone."
Fushimi Kyoki asked Edogawa Ranpo where he separated from his guardian.
Edogawa Ranpo opened his mouth, but the sudden 'grunt' sound made him bend over weakly, and he barely raised one hand: "I'm so hungry, I don't have the strength."
"Would you like to eat something first?" the player suggested uncertainly according to the other party's attitude.
Edogawa Ranpo's eyes lit up, and he stood up and pointed at the crepe stand not far away: "Crepe!"
"It feels like you planned this..." Saying goodbye to the 'sheep', Nakahara Chuuya took out his money and said suspiciously, "I'm helping you find your guardian, yet you're still thinking of asking a stranger for crepes."
Nakahara Chuuya was halfway through his speech when he suddenly turned around.
The player with an extra crepe in his hand: Oo?
"Thanks to nature for giving us food." The player said piously.
"Huh? Give it back to me!" Nakahara Chuuya was incredulous. "Nature wouldn't be so kind as to give you a crepe."
The player was silent, chewing, chewing...
Zhongyuan Zhongye, who is not the type to get angry over a single word, would not do such an ungentlemanly act as to snatch back something that has been given to him.
Chew chew...
"Don't you want to eat Chuuya? It tastes pretty good." The player looked up and saw Chuuya Nakahara with nothing in his hands. "If you don't have enough money, I can treat Chuuya to a meal."
"Huh? I'm not so broke as to spend my friends' money. I'm just not that keen on sweets."
Coolly rejecting the player, Nakahara Chuuya turned around, and Edogawa Ranpo licked his fingers and asked him, "Anything else?"
Chuuya Nakahara was so shocked by Edogawa Ranpo's eating speed that his computer crashed for two seconds.
It's so fast that it's like pouring food directly into the trash!
"Hey!" Nakahara Chuuya pulled the man in front of him with a serious expression, "Let me see if your teeth are broken."
Edogawa Ranpo struggled in vain in Nakahara Chuuya's hands. The young man, who probably didn't even have the fighting power of half a goose, had no power to resist him.
After confirming that there were no cavities, although Nakahara Chuuya let go of Edogawa Ranpo, he also said that Edogawa Ranpo would not be able to get any sweets from him.
Fushimi Kyoji suddenly felt a burning gaze directed at her.
"You want me to help you with the crepes?"
Staring at Edogawa Ranpo who was looking up obediently in front of him, the player hesitated for a second as to whether this was a [mission] or a [request].
"What can I get?"
Edogawa Ranpo blinked, reached into his pocket thoughtfully, fumbled for a long time, and finally took out a handful of glass marbles.
What is this?
Nakahara Chuuya, who was watching silently, thought to himself in confusion.
Aren’t they just the marbles in soda?
"Okay." The player carefully examined the marbles in Edogawa Ranpo's hand. "Which one would you like as a reward?"
"You really agreed!"
Nakahara Chuuya thought that players would choose to buy another crepe.
The player suddenly turned his head and looked around casually, as if he had locked onto a target, and walked straight towards a young man standing on the side of the road.
Before Fushimi Kyoji approached the white-haired young man with the ends of his hair dyed in a striking color, it seemed as if he had eyes on his back and faced the players in advance.
"How can I help you?" The player stepped forward and offered his services.
The white-haired young man opened his gloomy eyes, his pupils dilated and without a clear focus.
The other person is blind.
"That's easy," the player said. "It must be difficult standing here for so long."
"I was waiting for someone and didn't want to cross the street."
Tiaoye Caiju's smile remained unchanged: "Besides, there shouldn't be a motorway nearby?"
Fushimi Kyoji blinked, tried to continue with the process, and pointed to the crepe stand on the roadside: "If you buy one of those as a reward, I can help you get there safely."
"A blind person wouldn't be able to tell where you're pointing," Tiao Ye Caiju reminded him. He tilted his head slightly, letting the ends of his hair brush against his collar. "Um... do you want to eat crepes with the two friends following behind you?"
Doesn't this mean you know where the player is pointing?
Fushimi Kyoji turned his head to look at Nakahara Chuuya who was more than ten meters away, then turned back to look at Tiaoye picking chrysanthemums.
We are so far away and the other person can't see, could it be hearing?
"Heartbeat."
Tiaoye Caiju helped her solve the problem.
"There are two heartbeats, following us closely. One is light, the other is heavy and full of power."
"How amazing!" the players exclaimed.
Being able to hear different heartbeats is also one of the strange and bizarre abilities?
——Finally, I got three crepes from Jouno Caiju.
"What does my heartbeat feel like?" asked the player before leaving.
Tiaoye Caiju pretended to listen, and after a few seconds, she said, "Your heartbeat sounds very steady, and the frequency is as precise as a clock."
"It sounds very ordinary." The player commented objectively.
"The sound of a heartbeat can reflect a person's emotions. A heartbeat like this, which is very peaceful from beginning to end..."
He paused abruptly.
"Whether it was being pointed out to my companions or knowing that I could feel the difference in my heartbeat, there was no noticeable fluctuation in the frequency of the beats."
Tiaoye Caiju narrowed her eyes and put away her wallet: "What a pity, the time I agreed to meet with someone is almost up."
"Consider these crepes as a thank you for letting me hear such an interesting heartbeat."
"I will remember the rhythm of your heartbeat."
Nakahara Chuuya, who witnessed the entire process: "..."
Fushimi...
Is this how I've always lived in Yokohama?
