Daxintai?

Chuuya looked at the scene before him. It seemed no different from before, but everything had changed. He knew he would definitely punch that bastard next time they met.

However, he had more important things to do now. Chuuya thought of the dangers in Yokohama that were revealed in the conversation with 6499, and his eyes darkened.

He would not allow anyone to touch this city he loved so deeply.

"Alright, I called you all here today because there's something important."

Mori Ougai, who had somehow returned to his desk, crossed his hands under his chin. His long, narrow, purplish-red eyes were full of calculation, and although he had a smile on his lips, it sent chills down one's spine.

"As you all know, Dazai-kun has defected, so the allocation of his subordinates is currently a problem."

"Looking at it this way, Dazai-kun usually has quite a lot of work. I'm a little reluctant to part with Dazai-kun."

Mori Ougai looked at the work documents that originally belonged to Dazai Osamu in his hand and said with some regret.

"After all, a diamond like Dazai-kun isn't someone you can just find anyone to replace. But thankfully Chuuya-kun is here, otherwise I'd really have a headache."

Mori Ōgai remarked with emotion.

Natsume-sensei's words have influenced three generations.

[Translation: The free laborer ran away, but there's still one left.]

Only diamonds can polish diamonds.

I heard that Chuuya only sleeps 6 hours a day.

Although he was already used to the occasional quirky comments from these bullet comments, Chuuya still broke down when he saw the last one: "What's wrong with sleeping for six hours?"

"Chuuya-kun."

Mori Ougai suddenly stood up, his red scarf, a symbol of his leadership, fluttering with his movement.

"Starting tomorrow, you will not only have to handle your own tasks, but also take over the cargo transfers at the five ports that Dazai-kun was previously in charge of. As for Momiji, please take over the interrogation and intelligence work from Dazai's hands..."

Mori Ougai squinted his eyes with a hint of pleasure.

"Of course, I believe that with your abilities, you can definitely handle this job, right?"

"receive."

"I have no problem with it either."

Chuuya adjusted his hat and bowed his head in response.

"Rintaro is too cunning! He delegates all the troublesome tasks to his subordinates while he just sits in his office!"

Alice stood to the side with her hands on her hips and said angrily.

"Oh dear, there's really no way around it. Dazai-kun's departure has really added a lot of work to my schedule. I really don't want to trouble Chuuya-kun and Momiji."

Mori Ougai's previously shrewd expression immediately turned innocent, and he looked at Alice with a somewhat ingratiating expression.

"snort!"

Alice didn't buy Mori Ougai's explanation, crossing her arms and turning her head away from him.

"leader."

Chuuya Nakahara raised his hand and pressed down on the brim of his hat. His beautiful blue eyes shimmered slightly in the shadow of the brim. Mori Ougai, who was playing with Alice, looked up when he heard this, his voice carrying a hint of surprise at being interrupted.

"Does Chuuya-kun have anything else to report?"

"Chief, after I finish my work, I plan to personally follow up overseas for a few years and take charge of overseas missions."

Chuuya took a deep breath. The only solution he could think of right now was to deal with the troubles overseas in advance so that they wouldn't bother him four years later. If the leader didn't agree, Chuuya would have to think of another way.

"Sending Chuuya-kun abroad is a good option, but may I ask Chuuya-kun why he suddenly wants to go abroad?"

Mori Ougai tilted his head slightly, put his index finger to his lips, and frowned slightly, making a thoughtful expression.

"During the last mission, besides dealing with the rats, we also found some guys were very restless, something felt off... It's a bit strange, so we plan to investigate further."

Knowing he couldn't lie, Zhong Ye simply recounted the details of the last mission and made some reasonable inferences based on his frequent business trips in the future.

"This is indeed a bit strange, so we'll have to trouble Chuuya-kun in the future."

Mori Ougai agreed to Chuuya's request to go abroad to follow up on the mission, and sat back down on the sofa, but his eyes were slightly narrowed, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

[Is this why Chuuya is always traveling for work?]

[Da Xintai, look what you've done!]

No, no, I want to see my tweets again!

[A tutorial on how to avoid business trips while seeking information]

For a moment, I was speechless looking at these comments. How much screen time did I get to cause this reaction? And what the heck is "Da Xintai"? Dazai Osamu? Da Xintai?

Chuuya sometimes really wants to know what their world is like, why they have so many wonderful ideas. But this name is good, and Chuuya decides to call Dazai that next time he sees him.

"Then I'll take my leave now, Chief."

Regardless of the wailing and howling of the comments, Chuuya bowed to Mori Ougai once again and walked out of the office.

Just as Chuuya's footsteps faded into the distance, sounds returned to the office.

"Is Chuuya unable to accept Dazai's defection?"

Koyo looked in the direction Chuuya had left with some worry.

"Given the relationship between Chuuya-kun and Dazai-kun, this shouldn't be the case, but Chuuya-kun is definitely acting a bit strange."

Mori Ougai began to recall the details of his time with Chuuya today, wondering if there was anything he hadn't noticed.

[This is hilarious! Hahahaha]

[They even waited until Nakaya left before saying anything.]

Chuuya knows that his older sister and the leader think he ran away abroad because of Dazai.

[It's like being a parent who worries about their child after a breakup; their life seems so miserable.]

Chuuya: Thanks for the invitation. I didn't know that before, but I do now.

If it weren't for his remaining rationality holding him back, Chuuya would definitely have run back to prove that he absolutely didn't go abroad because of that bastard.

For the first time, Chuuya began to reflect on whether he had been too diligent, leaving his older sister and the leader with too much free time. He also wondered what those people were posting on the screen, like, "Who's dating that bastard mackerel?!"

Chuuya turned completely red-hot, literally red-hot, looking like a boiled shrimp. However, the comments had already disappeared, otherwise Chuuya might have seen even more comments that made him blush.

Chuuya returned to his office and rubbed his temples. Although he hated that guy, his work was indeed much more troublesome without him. Just gathering intelligence was giving Chuuya a headache. Of course, he could leave all of this to his subordinates, but he hadn't gotten used to it yet.

After that, Chuuya's life was peaceful and uneventful. After completing his mission, Chuuya went abroad alone.

Chuuya gradually got used to handling task files alone, as well as the comments that suddenly appeared in his life. Perhaps because the main storyline had not yet started, the comments were very quiet for the past two years, only appearing occasionally. Since it was always his own shot, Chuuya believed what 6499 said about him being very popular in that world, but he still had doubts about the fact that he rarely had any screen time.

Every time he's on camera, he gets tons of compliments from people who love him. At first, he was uncomfortable, shy, and blushed, but now he can handle all those compliments without batting an eye.

However, the only thing that bothered Naka was that every time he was on screen, there were a lot of comments about that bastard, and they always included his name. Wasn't it obvious that he and Dazai didn't get along?

People are in high spirits when they have good news. Chuuya was very happy recently. A week later, he suddenly received a message from the leader that he needed to go back to the Yokohama headquarters. Only then did he realize that two years had passed.

Two years ago, Chuuya came to Europe alone to take on the mission here. The longer he stayed here, the more Chuuya realized that the situation here was far more complicated than he had imagined.

Chuuya then realized why the comments said he would be on business trips every day to suppress the war four years later. If he hadn't prepared in advance, understood the situation, and intervened, those things that might seem insignificant now could have become big problems later.

Two years have passed, and the young man has become more composed. Now he has finally finished dealing with his affairs and boarded a plane back to Yokohama.

After getting off the plane, Chuuya Nakahara used his special ability to quickly arrive at Yokohama's iconic five black buildings that no one approached.

"leader."

"Chūya-kun!"

Hearing the voice, Mori Ougai looked up in surprise. Ever since Chuuya suddenly volunteered to go abroad to follow up on a mission, he hadn't returned for the past two years. If it weren't for the fact that he was preparing to promote Chuuya to a higher rank and had added a clause to the message sent to Chuuya at Kouyou's request that he be present in person, he really didn't know when he would see Chuuya again.

Looking at the young man before him, who had shed his youthful naiveté and immaturity, Mori Ōgai couldn't help but sigh at how quickly time had passed, and wondered how Dazai-kun was doing.

"If I hadn't asked the leader to call you back, I don't know how long it would have been before I saw Chuuya again."

Ozaki Koyo emerged from the shadows, and Chuuya then noticed that Koyo was also there.

"Sister Hongye, please don't tease me. Even if the leader doesn't call me back, I will still come back once things settle down there. After all, Yokohama is my hometown, and the port mafia is my home."

Chuuya adjusted his hat brim and said seriously.

"It's just that I haven't seen Chuuya-kun for so long, and I sometimes miss him."

Mori Ougai remarked, his imposing aura as the leader gone, and he even seemed somewhat amiable.

"The situation in Europe has stabilized, so there shouldn't be any need for Chuuya-kun to personally suppress it, right?"

Seeing the rare gentle expression on the leader's face and the expectant look in the eyes of Sister Momiji beside him, Chuuya was taken aback. He actually wanted to come back to Yokohama, just a little bit, but for the sake of the uncertain things that would happen two years later, he couldn't joke with this city and his family.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to stay for long. Although I've already caught those superhuman criminals, the underground organizations have been quite restless lately, and I feel like they're about to make some big moves."

As he thought of the recent unusual movements of those organizations, a sharp glint flashed in his beautiful blue eyes.

If it weren't for that mysteriously appearing system, he wouldn't have known that the situation there was so dire so long ago. This made Chuuya even more convinced of the system's words and the information revealed by the bullet screen.

"Well, for Chuuya-kun to make that comment, it seems the situation in Europe is indeed quite troublesome."

Mori Ougai twirled the scalpel in his hand, his eyes dark, as if he were plotting something.

"I didn't expect that either. Do you need my assistance, Chuuya?"

Ozaki Koyo gently unfolded her folding fan, covering the lower half of her face, revealing a pair of eyes that carried a hint of murderous intent.

"If Sister Hongye were to take action, those organizations probably wouldn't even have the courage to resist."

Chuuya's lips curled slightly, his tone respectful yet somewhat helpless.

"However, this situation is a bit special. They seem to have teamed up to hire several troublesome superhumans with tricky abilities."

Mori Ougai paused slightly as he twirled the scalpel in his hand, showing interest; he was currently short-staffed.

"Oh? An ability user who can make Chuuya-kun feel troubled?"

Chuuya clicked his tongue lightly.

"One of them has the ability of [spatial blockade], which doesn't affect me much, but their tactics are cunning. Someone is watching my movements and specifically targeting ordinary members."

Ozaki Kouyou's face darkened, and she slammed her folding fan shut, her voice carrying a hint of coldness.

"That's a really despicable tactic."

Mori Ougai chuckled softly twice.

"Since they're so eager to play, Chuuya-kun, do you think I should have Momiji handle it for you?"

Chuuya pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

"No, let me handle this. Although we don't know what their target is, their ambitions go far beyond Europe. If we disperse our forces now, we might fall into their trap."

"Haha, Chuuya-kun has grown quite a bit."

Looking at Chuuya's calm analysis, Mori Ougai nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that Dazai's departure had its advantages.

"But if the situation really exceeds expectations, we still need to keep in touch. We in the Port Mafia would never let our officers fight alone."

"Cadre?"

Chuuya was taken aback for a moment, then realized what was happening. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and his expression became somewhat blank, which was rare for him.

"Chief, do you mean...?"

Mori Ougai pulled a gold-embossed document from under his desk drawer, then rested his chin on his hands and looked at Chuuya with great interest.

"From today onwards, Chuuya-kun has been officially promoted to an executive. The reason I called Chuuya-kun back was for this matter, but I didn't expect the situation in Europe to be so serious, so I only have the opportunity to say it now."

"Congratulations, Chuuya, you've grown into a grown-up now."

Kureha chuckled softly and gently tapped Chuuya's shoulder with the tip of her fan.

"But Zhongye, you must come back soon. I cannot bear to be separated for too long."

Chuuya's lips curled slightly, and his eyes under the brim of his hat became firm and sharp.

"Don't worry, big sister, I'll make those people pay for messing with the Mafia! And big sister, I'm an adult now! Don't always treat me like a child!!!"

"However, Chuuya-kun, allow me to remind you."

Mori Ougai, seeing that Chuuya was somewhat agitated, interrupted him.

"Chuuya-kun is now my subordinate, more valuable than any of them. I don't want my subordinate to return injured."

"Of course, Chief."

Chuuya's lips curled into an arrogant and confident smile, a fact that no one present doubted.
