Chapter 10 Not a Babysitter

Only one day had passed since Mori Ougai controlled the body. Ace took over control of the body again. Just when he wanted to go out for some fresh air, he was stopped by Mori Ougai.

[Ace, judging from the situation in the past two days, we may each take control of the body for one day. In this case, some things that I don't have time to handle may have to be handed over to you.]

Ace: “…”

He thought back to what Mori Ogai had done when he took control of the body.

He corrected documents, called his subordinates over to assign tasks, continued to correct documents, called his subordinates over to assign tasks, corrected documents, finished dinner, corrected documents, called his subordinates over to make arrangements, corrected documents... It was not until two o'clock in the morning that he went to the toilet and rested.

After recalling this, Ace's face turned green.

These are all things he is not good at.

And if it were him, he would definitely not be able to sit still for such a long time!

He tried to reject Mori Ogai's proposal: [Um, Mr. Ogai, I can't understand the words on those documents. How about you just leave some of the tasks that require going out to me? ]

Of course Mori Ogai refused. To him, a mission that allowed him to go out and do activities was still work. No, it was called relaxation. Solving some work-related issues was just a matter of convenience.

[Ace, we don't know how long this situation will last. If it lasts a long time, then you will have to learn some of the characters in this world, right?]

Well, there is nothing wrong with what he said. He doesn't know how long he will exist. Mr. Ouwai is obviously a clerk. If he can't even read, it will be difficult for him to pretend. If he is exposed, it will cause trouble for Mr. Ouwai.

Thinking of the long and difficult time he had to spend learning to read as a child, Ace suddenly felt like showing off.

In the past, he had a younger brother following him, and he had to be a good role model for an older brother. Now that his younger brother is not around, he doesn't really want to learn those fancy things anymore.

Ace thought painfully. He is a fighter!

The only time he needed to use words was when he was writing letters, and the rest of the time...

He tried to be lazy, "Mr. Ogai, um, anyway, it's more appropriate for you to handle the organization's affairs. I just need to learn the basics, right?"

Sen Ogai saw through this person's little trick at a glance: [……]

Although he didn't want you to get involved in the organization's affairs, but you took the initiative to say this, which made him want to arrange you a little bit :)

[Ace, it's like this. It's really difficult for you to handle documents at the beginning of your study. How about this, you imitate my signature first. As for the characters, I can teach you slowly.]

When he heard that he only had to imitate the signature for the time being, Ash immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Isn't that easy? You don't have to use your brain!

He grabbed a pen and was about to start practicing, but at this moment, his stomach growled.

So he put down his pen, scratched his hair at the back of his head with a bright smile, and said cheerfully: "It's time to eat!"

Mori Ogai: [……]

You are only at your most active when you are eating :)

【We can ask someone to bring it up.】Sen Ougai said.

[It's so hard to get out, let's go out for a meal! ]

Mori Ogai: [……]

It was me who finally went out, not you:) When I changed places the night before yesterday, you were not working in the office at all:)

He sighed deeply, deeply.

Then compromised.

He said: [The change is in the drawer, remember to take it. It's a little to the left, right.]

Ace followed his instructions, took the money, and was about to slip away like the wind, but was stopped by Mori Owl again.

[Are you planning to leave like this? ]

Ace thought about it, looked down, and felt that there was nothing wrong with his outfit. Of course, they changed at dusk, and this outfit was matched by Mori Ougai himself.

So he asked, “What’s the problem?”

It’s hard to describe Mori Ouwai’s feelings.

The clothes he wore were his standard outfit after he became the leader of the Port Mafia. In other words, this outfit would maximize his momentum and aura as the leader of the Mafia.

Simply put, you can tell at first glance that he is not a good person :)

If he goes out dressed like this in this unstable time, he might be spotted by someone who wants to make some extra money, and then, well...if by chance, the person targeting him is from a hostile force, and he doesn't know the people below but is recognized by those above, wouldn't that be interesting?

[Alas...] Mori Ougai let out a long sigh again. He didn't know whether it was bad luck or fortune to be possessed by such a ghost.

After instructing Ace to change into more casual clothes, Moriowa finally let him go out.

This time, Ace went to a different street and found a restaurant to eat fried rice. When he got the menu, he subconsciously wanted to order a lot of dishes, but then he suddenly remembered how much Mori Ouwai ate, so he restrained himself and ordered... a small amount of dishes.

[Ace-kun, I can’t finish this amount.] Mori Ougai reminded him in advance.

Ace was very optimistic: [It’s okay, if you can’t finish it, just pack it up! ]

Mori Ogai: [……]

Okay, just be happy.

Sen Ouwai was already tired, and he didn't care as long as nothing happened. He was the leader of the mafia, not a babysitter. Look at what he had done in the past two days.

He told Ace not to eat a free meal, taught him not to do strenuous exercise after a meal, and when he saw a doctor, he taught the patient to boil water, take medicine, and cover himself with a blanket. He even reminded him to bring money and what clothes to wear when he went out.

This guy... is he really 20 years old? In just two days, he has almost become this guy's father!

Fourteen-year-old Dazai Osamu was less of a worry than him!

Oh, I'm so tired.

But he didn't expect that the real bad luck had just begun.

After Ace finished his dinner, he packed up the leftovers, bowed to the waiter, said "Thank you for the meal!" and then turned and ran away.

Mori Owl: ???

As the waiter behind him shouted, "Catch the guy who ate and rushed!", Sen Ou couldn't catch his breath. He shouted at the top of his lungs: [Ace! You have money in your pocket! Don't dine and rush! Don't exercise vigorously! Go back and pay! ! Have you forgotten the stomach cramp you had the day before yesterday? ! ! ]

Ace suddenly realized what was going on. He stopped running, "Oh yeah, I brought money!"

The shop assistant who had chased after him took the opportunity to block him in front, bent over and glared at him breathlessly: "You're eating and drinking for free! Ha, ha, ha, I'll see where you can run!"

Ace looked at him sternly and said cunningly, "I didn't mean to dine for free. I just thought I forgot to bring money, so I wanted to go back and get it!"

The clerk stared at him gloomily, "Haha, do you think I believe it?"

Ash immediately put on a good-natured smile, took out the change that Moriou had asked him to take from his pocket, and handed the meal bill to the waiter.

"Is that enough?"

The clerk watched him count out the money, took the money, glanced at him suspiciously, and then seamlessly changed into a friendly smile: "Yes, sir, welcome back next time." When the clerk turned and left, he heard the other party mutter "quirk" under his breath.

Mori Ogai: ...

I felt embarrassed, but that was it. Was it because Ace didn't feel embarrassed at all?

But the next moment, when Ace turned around and prepared to leave, Moriogai didn't think so anymore. He felt very embarrassed! Very embarrassed!

At the other end of the street, a white-haired young man in a kimono, with a boy and a girl on his left and right, stood there staring at this side silently with a very complicated expression.

Mori Ogai: ...Oh no! What a disgrace! He actually embarrassed himself in front of his senior brother who was always being schemed against by him!

Ace saw that the three people over there were staring at him, and their expressions didn't seem like they didn't know him, so he asked: [Mr. Ougai, do you know them? ]

[…We know each other.] Mori Ougai had a heart attack and didn’t want to talk.

However, during his silence, he discovered that Ace A went up.

Mori Ougai:……???

He asked alertly: [What are you doing?]

[Huh? Don't you two know each other? I'll just go over and say hello.] Ace answered as a matter of course.

Mori Ogai: ...

Myocardial infarction.

But it was too late to stop him. The white-haired young man opposite saw him passing by and said in a deep voice with a subtle look: "Doctor Mori."

Ace saw the girl standing on his right step back slightly, but he didn't think much of it and smiled, "Hello, are you bringing your kids out for dinner?"

After that, he asked Mori Ogai: [What is this person's name? ]

[Fukuzawa Yukichi, you can just call him Mr. Fukuzawa.] Mori Ogai read without any emotion.

Could you please just say hello and leave without saying anything?

Mr. Fukuzawa nodded, then looked at him hesitantly, and said solemnly: "Dr. Mori...are you short of money recently?"

Are you so poor that you have to dine and dine for free?

Mori Ouwai sneered: [Yes, I am short of money. ]

He just wanted to be sarcastic with this sentence, but considering the current situation, it was just a complaint. Who knew that Ace looked at the three people opposite him and said, "Yes, you are short of money, but you have two children and you need money everywhere. You should not be rich. It is better for you to keep your money for yourself and your family."

Mori Ogai: [……]

Well, although I was a little speechless, I was not that surprised.

Mr. Fukuzawa was obviously very familiar with Mori Ogai and knew his character very well. When he heard Ace say this, he paused for a moment, then said with some doubt and hesitation: "Dr. Mori, have you... encountered anything recently?"

His expression made him look as if he had encountered some major change that had changed his temperament, and Sen Ou felt like he had another heart attack.

Finally, the young man standing on his left couldn't help it and laughed out loud, "Hahahaha".

"Ranbu?" Mr. Fukuzawa glanced sideways, looking at the young man beside him in surprise.

Edogawa Ranpo laughed for a while, then looked at him curiously: "Hey, you are not Mori Ogai, who are you?"
