Add some system settings

Chuuya changed into his familiar suit and nervously cracked his knuckles. He actually had spare gloves, but this time someone was keeping them safe for him.

After instructing Yumeno to wait for him to return obediently inside, Chuuya went out to headquarters.

The top floor of the port mafia, the chief's office.

Mori Ougai sat on the sofa, looking through the glass at Yokohama, which had regained its former peace. It was at this moment that Naka knocked on the door and came in.

"leader."

"Chuuya-kun, you're awake!" Mori Ougai's voice was filled with surprise and emotion. "I saw the whole battle. It was really dangerous, but thankfully it's all over now."

"Fortunately, Chuuya woke up. If he hadn't woken up, I was afraid that Dazai would come and kill me."

Mori Ougai changed the subject from the heavy topic and made a small joke.

Chuuya couldn't figure out what connection this had with Dazai. He looked up in confusion, noticed his gaze, and Mori Ougai chuckled as he began to explain.

"Dazai took you away for treatment. He has a very powerful healing ability. We don't know where Dazai took you. We haven't heard from Chuuya for a long time. Fortunately, when Dazai threatened me at the end, he found out that Chuuya was alright. Otherwise, Momiji would probably have violated the ceasefire agreement and attacked the detective agency."

[Mr. Mori: I've been threatened by Dazai-kun. I'm so scared that he'll also badmouth me in court.]

[Mr. Mori, you're just lamenting that Yosano isn't a member of the Mafia, aren't you?]

Where's Alice? I need to hear her complain about Mr. Mori; I desperately need a stand-in.

Mori Ougai's tone carried a hint of regret, and Chuuya couldn't guess what he was regretting, or perhaps both.

But is this how you see Alice? Thinking about it this way, Chuuya actually feels it makes sense. He was definitely influenced and led astray by the comments. Chuuya happily shifted the blame to the clueless comments.

Soon after hearing the news, Ozaki Koyo came over, showed concern for Chuuya, and sent him away, saying that he should rest and recuperate. The leader supported this decision, and the comments section was full of praise.

[Punish this guy who doesn't take care of his health: forbid him from working]

[As expected, Sister Hongye is my mother!]

[Chūya Nakahara's family business]

I support handing over Chuuya's job entirely to Mori.

Chuuya looked helplessly at the wildly imaginative comments on the screen and went back to his office before leaving headquarters.

6499 "Host, didn't they tell you to go back and rest?"

"Hmm, I'll go to the office. What new abilities did you gain after absorbing the 'book'?"

Naka also remembered what the system had said before and suddenly became curious.

Distracted by Chuuya, the system didn't dwell on what Chuuya was going to do in the office. 6499 excitedly introduced its new features to Chuuya.

6499 "I can now take you to other parallel worlds to play!"

Upon hearing this, Chuuya stopped in his tracks in shock.

"Is it what I mean? Other parallel worlds with different developments? Or the main world you mentioned at the beginning?"

"Yes! But the real main world won't work. However, I can take the host to a parallel world that follows the main world but hasn't deviated from the main storyline for various reasons."

Chuuya nodded knowingly, while 6499's excited voice hadn't stopped.

"Since the host has some free time these few days, let's go to other worlds for fun! You need a trip to relax your mind and body. I can help the host monitor this world and can definitely send you back instantly if any special circumstances occur."

Chuuya walked into the office. Was this the explosion of silence? He really gave him a surprise right from the start. Although he was very curious about their parallel world, he had something he had to do right now.

"I don't need to worry about the time. I have plenty of vacation time, enough to last a year. But I have some other things to do right now. But do we need to worry about the camera work? If I'm going to be away for a long time and there are no shots of me... won't they be very resentful?"

He hadn't forgotten the system's original purpose when it first came into existence; wasn't the system formed because of this? He was a little worried that this would affect 6499.

If it had a physical form, 6499 would guarantee that it would look like a complete loser right now. It would definitely be the happiest system in the entire universe. How could its host be so good!

"It's alright. After absorbing the 'Book,' I'm now a complete and independent system! This can't affect me anymore, and besides, you're the protagonist of this world now, host, so of course the camera will follow you!"

"Me? Oh, I see. So, can I bring other people with me when I travel through time?"

Chuuya paused for a moment, then suddenly realized that while he was getting used to the bullet comments, the camera had been lingering on him for a long time in places he hadn't noticed.

Having figured all this out, Zhong casually brought up another thing he was curious about, and 6499 gave the answer without any hesitation.

"It must be the person closest to the host, and only one person."

Chuuya nodded thoughtfully, having roughly understood the new feature that the system had added.

I looked down and sent a message to Dazai. Of course, don't misunderstand, it wasn't a system issue.

Chuuya stood in front of the full-length mirror in the office break room, adjusting his clothes. If the system were to describe it, he looked like a naive young man preparing to meet his sweetheart.

Chuuya suddenly touched the back of his neck. The extra pendant had disappeared, and the choker had returned to its original state, and could be untied normally.

"That's actually something that can collect the affection that another world has for its host, which is why it's shaped like a heart. It can help control the power within you, just like the hat you're wearing. You should have felt it, right?"

"Then what happened when it disappeared?"

"It means that your ability is now in a very stable state, and you can go without the hat! However, if you want to return to the previous state, you will still need someone to help you to remove it."

"That's good, it's already very good."

Upon hearing this explanation, Chuuya reached up and touched the hat he had worn for many years, his eyes lowered so that no one could see the emotions in them. However, Chuuya had no intention of taking off the hat; it meant much more to him than simply being a 'power stabilizer'.

Dazai, having received the message, found a plausible excuse to skip his afternoon shift and began planning how to tease Chuuya during their meeting.
