Chapter 15 Chicken Soup with Painting Pancakes

Maybe he really disliked Dazai Osamu last time. In the past few days, Mori Ogai couldn't see him except when he was summoned.

However, Dazai Osamu didn't need to take on the new mission. Or rather, Dazai Osamu was the least suitable person.

Mori Ouwai made a phone call and asked Guangjin Liulang to come up.

This is one of the members who followed the previous leader in his early years. Not only is he a rare person with special abilities, but he is also the leader of the Black Lizards, an armed force of the port mafia.

Although he has been with the previous leader for a long time in the organization, and has a long history and is even older, a person with special abilities is still stronger than an ordinary person, not to mention that he is not too old to take action. He was also one of the first to support Morioga after the change of leader.

Guangjin Liulang didn't have any tasks for the time being, so he came up quickly.

"Chief." He said this in a proper tone, ignoring the strange little girl who was sitting on the carpet and doodling with a drawing board.

"Hirosukin-kun, how have you been lately?"

"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine." Guangjin Liulang lowered his head slightly and didn't look directly at Sen'ou.

"That's good. I was worried that you might be in a bad situation. After all, you were one of the first people to support me."

It sounds like they mean it, and there may be some truth in it, but everyone knows that most of these words are just politeness. Guangjin Liulang had some guesses about how Mori Ougai got to the top, but he actually acquiesced in his heart, so he became one of the first to support him.

Anyone with a bit of brains would fulfill his duty as a subordinate at this time.

Guangjin Liulang didn't say anything.

"Oh, by the way, this is Alice." Mori Ogai introduced his humanoid special ability to him. Of course, he did not point out that this was his special ability, but only said her name vaguely.

At this age, it looks like they are father and daughter.

Although he had some suspicions in his heart, Guangjin Liulang did not try to find out her identity. Instead, he greeted her politely: "Miss Alice."

Alice looked up at him and smiled brightly: "Hello."

"Guangjin-kun, I've been very busy lately and don't have time to take care of Alice, so could you please take care of her for a few days?" Mori Owl looked distressed.

Well, it's my job to help my boss take care of his daughter. Guangjin Liulang thought silently. The leader's daughter looks very well-behaved. I hope she is as well-behaved as she looks.

"It's my honor." Guangjin Liulang accepted the task calmly.

Although I don't really want to take care of a child, especially since this child is the leader's child, the Port Mafia is not an ordinary unit. Obviously, anyone with a brain would not refuse a mission personally assigned by the leader.

…

Mori Ogai created the illusion that Alice was his daughter, so Guangjin Liulang did not dare to neglect it.

He also knew that it was not safe recently. If Alice was really the leader's daughter, then it was almost his weakness. The leader let Miss Alice appear in the sight of the port mafia during this period, either to train her as an heir, or to use her as a target to attract the enemy's attention.

Of course, this is the chief's business. As a subordinate, he should not speculate on these things, so as not to get into trouble. He only needs to treat Alice as the chief's daughter according to what the chief shows him.

For safety reasons, Hirotsu Liulang planned to place Alice inside the Port Mafia, within his line of sight. Although he trusted the Black Lizard members, he still felt more at ease watching over her in person during this special period.

However, Alice is obviously not the kind of "person" who can stay quietly in the area designated by Guangjin Liulang to play. Although Guangjin Liulang can provide everything Alice needs, Alice is actually controlled by Mori Gu outside. Mori Gu outside's purpose is to make Alice a bait to lure Omi. How could they really let Alice stay obediently within the scope of their strict protection?

So Alice was very confident and asked to go out to play like a spoiled little princess.

Guangjin Liulang had no choice but to report to Moriou and take Alice out for a walk.

…

Omi was still able to keep her composure. Alice had already appeared in the Port Mafia for a few days, but there was still no action. However, the hunters had also passed on the news to him, and Omi had also privately sent someone to investigate Alice's background.

No wonder he was able to live safely and reach the position of a cadre even though he had no special abilities. At least his composure was worthy of his status.

If the fish doesn't bite, it will keep hovering around the bait. If it's someone who doesn't have enough patience, he might get angry, but Mori Ou is different. He has plenty of things to do. He won't just focus on Omi, he will attack from all sides and create a siege situation for the enemy.

In order to gather the forces of all parties in the organization, he summoned the capable and well-known members of the organization one after another, one bowl after another of chicken soup painting cakes, from those who have already stood on the side of Morio, to the neutral faction, and now he has begun to summon some of those who stand on the side of Omi...

Every time Mori Ogai summoned his subordinates, Omi, who was made anxious, would summon them again afterwards and ask them in detail what Mori Ogai had said to them.

When Omi heard that all they said to them were nonsense like heart-to-heart talks, it would be fine if it happened once or twice, but after several of them did the same thing in a row, he couldn't help but wonder if these people had second thoughts about him and were hiding something from him that they didn't want him to know.

He always felt that it was impossible to summon people like Mori Ogai one by one and have a heart-to-heart talk with them. This was simply a stupid operation. These were all his people, what was the point of just having a heart-to-heart talk? So Mori Ogai was probably using coercion and bribery, promising some benefits to make these people keep silent about him.

But he also felt that this was not impossible, and he could not completely rule out the possibility that Mori Ou had messed with his mentality.

Omi, who has no special abilities, was able to securely hold a position as an executive, all thanks to his carefulness and generosity towards his subordinates - he was able to win the loyalty of many people with money and false relationships, but his carefulness and prudence not only increased his chances of survival, but also made him think more.

This made him even more anxious.

Of course, Mori Ogai would not issue some important tasks to Omi's subordinates so quickly, nor would he let them know his true thoughts.

Of course, his attitude towards the three types of people is also different. For those who are on his side and the neutral faction, he gives them all chicken soup and big cakes. For those who are on his side, he even gives them some subsidies based on their economic situation. As for those on Omi's side? He only gives them chicken soup, and then tells them earnestly what will happen to them after Omi falls.

Yokohama is a special place. There are very few schools that can be opened in Yokohama. It is also full of disasters and calamities. In addition, underground forces are rampant. Most ordinary people have moved out, except for those whose economic conditions do not allow them to move. This has led to the fact that most people in Yokohama have little education.

The Mafia is even more so. It is polarized internally. Except for a few who are particularly smart and powerful as armed personnel (including Omi himself, who is valued for his wealth-making skills), most people are promoted and retained by their strength. The armed members are consumed very quickly, and are replaced by one batch after another. Except for the extremely strong ones, they are basically young people. And because they are mixed up in the mafia, most of them have not been to school, and they are not very resistant to chicken soup and pancakes, so they are very easy to fool.

Moriogai summoned people from Omi's side purely to create psychological pressure on Omi and also to sow discord.

Given Omi's personality, even if he guessed that Morio had this idea, he couldn't help but suspect that the person he summoned had two hearts. It was enough for him to just let Omi have suspicion in his heart.

"By the way, where's Zhi? Why do I feel like I haven't seen him for a long time?"

Mori Ogai: [……]

I'm afraid they are eager to walk around us :)

【Finish your homework first. 】

Ace: “…”

He has copied it many times. If he is cured, I can take the opportunity to ask him to go out and play with me_(:зゝ∠)_

"Mr. Ougai, can't we really just go and beat up that guy called Omi?" Ace lay on the table, copying down Mori Ougai's past notes while trying to change Mori Ougai's mind in a depressed manner.

Mori Ogai: […He also has people with special abilities.]

"But we have some here too—" Ace was like a little schoolboy who just wanted to run outside, "Go ahead, go ahead—"

Mori Ogai felt bald, [Ace-kun, strictly speaking, Omi is not an enemy. He has not betrayed us openly. He is still our companion. Do you want to attack your companion? ]

"Ah——" Ace made an unhappy sound.

Mori Ou sighed, "How about this, you finish tomorrow's work tonight, and tomorrow you can take Alice out to play."

Ace instantly sat up straight and asked excitedly, "Really?!"

【……real.】

The reward of being able to go out and have fun made Ace excited like a chicken. He stayed up most of the night and begged Sen Ou to give him an extra morning. Finally, he finished all his homework.

At noon, I went directly to Guangjin Liulang and called Alice to go out for lunch together.

I originally wanted to invite Guangjin Liulang to join us, but the old man declined with a strange look on his face.

The leader seemed very excited, which was different from usual. But it was strange for the leader to take his subordinates with him when he was taking his children out to play. He must have just asked politely and didn't mean to take me with him.

Guangjin Liulang also felt that he was very considerate today.
