Soft-hearted Little Middle

Chung also woke up in the ward, feeling somewhat dazed, his memory still stuck on the moment he fainted in Dazai's arms.

Blinking, the doctor walked in, carrying a stack of documents.

"Chūya, your body's automatic recovery ability seems to have increased significantly over the past four years, but the specific reason is unclear. However, your physical condition this time is much better than in the past, and the duration of your coma is also much shorter than before."

At this point, the doctor adjusted his glasses, looked at Chuuya again, and spoke seriously.

"This examination also found a small amount of drug residue in your body that can cause unconsciousness. You have a particularly poor resistance to the drug, and the other party seemed to know you very well. By the time you were brought here, only a small amount of residue remained. If it weren't for the latest equipment that was just installed yesterday, it might not have been able to be detected."

"Okay, I understand."

Chuuya propped his head up with one hand, rubbing his hair in frustration. After the doctor finished his report, he wisely left the ward, leaving Chuuya alone.

[Ranpo got the guild's weakness from Poe, and now he's giving it whatever it wants? Edgar Allan Poe, you bastard!]

[He was basically always willing to grant Ranpo's requests. Later, in order to stop Chuuya, who was a powerhouse in terms of strength, he even borrowed a supernatural novel from Sakae.]

[The scriptwriting team is 2/3 in number; they're writing the script here, and it will ultimately follow their script.]

[Atsushi Nakajima, listening outside the door, was completely dumbfounded.]

Chuuya glanced at the comments scrolling by; the matter wasn't over yet, but that was to be expected. But what about scriptwriting? Did their scripts include their own plot points?

Chuuya placed his hand on his neck and tightly gripped the heart-shaped pendant. Although he wasn't fully conscious at the time, Chuuya could feel that the excruciating pain was gone. It was as if a warm energy was slowly repairing his body. Although it was still unbearable, it was much better.

Is this the surprise 6499 left for me? Ah, thinking about it this way, it seems I owe them quite a lot, and it seems I've never properly thanked them before?

There were some troubles, but then I suddenly remembered why the system had contacted me. It had been too long and I couldn't remember exactly, but it seemed to be because those who liked me were dissatisfied with the lack of screen time I received.

There was no other way. He didn't want to owe too many favors, even though he felt he already owed too many to repay. But he still tried to do something. Although he didn't know how, getting more screen time was never a bad thing.

Chuuya let out a bitter laugh; this really presented him with a huge problem!

"Chuuya-kun? May I come in?"

"Of course! Why is the leader here!"

Mori Ougai's voice came from outside the ward door. Chuuya wanted to get up after hearing the reply, but Mori Ougai, who had already walked in, stopped him.

"Since you haven't fully recovered, you should rest well. Although the doctor said your condition has improved a lot this time, I came to visit Chuuya-kun, not to aggravate his injuries. If Momiji finds out, she'll probably blame me again."

I'm really looking forward to Chuuya-kun getting a good rest so we can celebrate our victory together. I'll definitely be grabbing a bottle of good sake from his wine cellar to celebrate!

As Mori Ougai spoke, it was as if he had already imagined that scene, and he narrowed his eyes with a hint of pleasure.

"Chief, the combination hasn't been completely resolved yet. I request permission to go..."

"Chuuya-kun, Akutagawa-kun from the group just messaged me saying he's going to infiltrate their helicopter. The detective agency will also be sending people to handle it. You should rest and recover. We in the mafia don't have a habit of mistreating sick people."

Chuuya was interrupted by Mori Ougai before he could finish speaking. Mori Ougai looked somewhat helpless. It was clear to everyone that he wasn't so heartless as to abuse patients, but his subordinates were just too ambitious.

"The report says my body has almost recovered, and I will no longer use the filth. Some of the group members' abilities are very troublesome. It's too dangerous for Akutagawa to be alone. If necessary, I can go and take Akutagawa away. Let me go and assist Akutagawa, leader."

These were also Chuuya's thoughts. Chuuya looked at the leader with a firm gaze. Mori Ougai looked at Chuuya for a long time, then sighed. Chuuya-kun is still as sentimental as ever, and he is very protective of those he has taken in. I really can't beat Chuuya-kun.

"Alright, losing a capable subordinate is certainly not what I want to see. Chuuya-kun, go if you want. I only have one request: Chuuya-kun, you can't get injured again. And your assistance can only be within your capabilities. Otherwise, I really won't be able to explain it to Momiji."

"Thank you, Chief."

"It seems our cooperation with the detective agency will have to be canceled."

Chuuya smiled, Mori Ougai shook his head, and walked out of the ward.

After the leader left, Chuuya got up, put on his hat and coat, and prepared to leave as well.

If that kid read my note, he should be in his room right now, right? I'm not sure about anything in this matter.

After all, I did everything I could at the time. The choice is up to that kid. Even if he doesn't listen to me, leaving Yokohama, not getting involved here, finding a place full of ordinary people to hide my superpowers, and living a good life is not bad. But that kid might not have any money on him, right?

Thinking this, Zhongye arrived at his doorstep and saw that the place where he kept his spare key had clearly been moved. A smile still crept onto his lips.

Chuuya opened the door but didn't see anyone. Instead, he heard the sound of a TV playing from the living room. When he got to the living room, he immediately saw Yumeno Kyusaku relaxing on the sofa.

"You're back, Chuuya-san!"

Yumeno Kyusaku, who was lying on the sofa, also saw Chuuya. He stood up and spoke in a clear yet slightly shrill voice that hadn't yet gone through puberty. "Was that surprisingly cute?" Chuuya wondered uncertainly.

【？？？】

【Is this right, family members?】

Don't ask, I don't know either.

Why is Yumeno Kyusaku at Chuuya's house?

[A humble fan of Yumeno bursts into tears; our little darling finally got some screen time!]

"Hmph, I thought you little brat would run away on your own. Although you've served your sentence, this incident proves that your superpowers are still very dangerous. The leader might regret letting you out."

Chuuya put the food he was carrying on the coffee table, walked to the sofa and sat down. Perhaps because he was back in his own home, he looked somewhat relaxed.

"Although I've thought about it, I don't have any money on me, and Mr. Chuuya is different from Mr. Dazai, so I came anyway! So... will Mr. Chuuya disappoint me?"

Yumeno Kyusaku put his hands behind his back, his palms were already sweating, and his eyes, which looked like stars and the moon, looked at Chuuya with a hint of expectation and trepidation.

"Ah, otherwise why would I leave you a note?"

No way, this is Chuuya!

[Chuuya is also a god; Kusaku has finally met that kind-hearted god.]

Did I miss something? What note? I didn't see it before.

[After all the hardships, my dear baby, you won't be disappointed anymore. Everything will be alright, everything will be alright.]

Chuuya watched the comments scrolling by, his ears turning red. It wasn't as exaggerated as they said; the gods and such were going too far. He was just trying to lend a hand if he could.

"But isn't Mr. Chuuya loyal to the organization? And won't it cause problems if he lets me go like this?"

Yumeno Kyusaku looked at Chuuya with a question in his eyes, while Chuuya lowered his eyes, seemingly lost in thought.

"I will take the blame for sending you away from Yokohama. It was because I fainted that I failed to arrest Q and deal with him properly. And I, Chuuya Nakahara, only helped a kid named Kyusaku Yumeno later."

Yumeno Kyusaku was stunned when he heard his own name spoken by Chuuya. How long had it been since he had heard someone call his name like that? Oh no, his eyes were starting to sting.

"Alright, I still have to deal with the group. I came back this time because I was afraid you would starve to death. You can stay here for now. There are guest rooms in the house. You can choose any one. I'm leaving now."

"Chuuya-san fainted because he was dealing with the group. If all else fails, why not just push all the blame onto Dazai and accept the punishment?"

Yumeno Hisaku sniffed, watching Chuuya's retreating figure, and couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, so you need to stay here and wait for me to come back."

Chuuya paused slightly, then chuckled helplessly. This brat clearly understood why he was being punished; there was just no way to deal with it.

【Dazai:so】

[He probably can't get over it in his heart either, after all, he truly loves the organization.]

How is this different from Momiji ultimately giving up on bringing the Mirror Flower back?

[Hmm, maybe it's because Kyoka is with the Detective Agency. But thankfully, it was Kusaku who took the initiative to leave in the first place. Chuuya was just negligent in his mission. As Chuuya himself said, it had nothing to do with the organization; it was all his personal behavior.]

[Wait, is Chuuya also going to deal with the group? What did I miss? Didn't Chuuya just finish the Impurity event? And it seems like Dazai didn't come with the White Whale this time.]

[You're crying like this just because Chuuya called your name? Damn it, Mori, you know I'm about to yell at you again.]

Ever since Kyusaku got his code name, no one has called him by his real name anymore. I feel so bad for him, my Kyusaku baby.

Turn the camera back! I've seen Taniguchi and Nakajima infiltrate countless times during my rewatches; I want to see new footage.

Seeing his little thoughts analyzed so thoroughly by the comments, Chuuya, whose ears had only turned slightly red, fell completely red. He then fell silent when he saw Yumeno Kyusaku crying because he had called his name.

Only after seeing that Nakajima Atsushi had already infiltrated the White Whale did he shift his attention. Dazai's absence was actually good news, as he himself didn't open the filth, and his own strength was enough to deal with normal ability users.

It's all in the past now, so I can't fall behind. After we win, let's celebrate with that bottle of really good red wine!

While using his special ability to float in the air and search for the beluga whale, Chuuya was somewhat distracted.

The beluga whale was very large, and Zhongye found it in the air without much effort, catching up with it in a burst of speed.

Chuuya walked to the entrance, looked at the closed door, raised an eyebrow, and kicked it open.

[It has to be Chuuya again! Thinking back to when Chuuya was still the King of Sheep, the first time I met him was when he kicked open the airplane door and beat up the mafia inside. It brings back so many memories!]

[laughs so hard, typical of the mafia style. Akutagawa hijacked the group's own helicopter, Chuuya flew up and kicked the door down, while Atsushi obediently sneaked in and carefully opened the door.]
