Chapter 4 I am weak
After much persuasion, Ace finally faced the reality. After taking antipyretics and cold medicine and receiving the comment "You are really weak", he finally calmed down.
Mori Ogai asked him to move the phone to another place, pulled the long telephone cord to dial Ozaki Koyo's phone number, and then forced him to cover himself with the quilt.
During the reign of the previous leader, Ozaki Koha became a quasi-cadre due to her powerful killing ability "Golden Yaksha", but because she had eloped and defected before, she was not only demoted, but also lost the opportunity to rise forever.
Originally, as a defector of the Mafia, she should have been hunted down by the organization, and the Port Mafia has a signature killing method for killing traitors. However, because the previous leader felt sorry for her supernatural powers, the organization's final order was to kill her lover who eloped with Ozaki Kouyo, capture Ozaki Kouyo, and demote and place her under surveillance.
Before Mori Ougai killed the previous leader, he had already secretly contacted, bribed, and persuaded many important figures in the organization to stand on his side. Once the previous leader died, they would support Mori Ougai as the new leader.
Moreover, because of the extremely extreme things that the previous leader did during the period before his death, many neutral factions in the organization did not take sides at all. They would neither avenge the previous leader, nor help the previous leader's remaining forces to deal with Sen Ou Wai, nor would they take the initiative to deal with the previous leader's remaining forces on behalf of Sen Ou Wai.
For them, it doesn't matter who the new leader is, as long as he doesn't act like the previous leader, they don't care. After all, they still accept tasks and do tasks, complete their own work and the leader's orders, and they don't get involved in anything else to avoid getting involved.
Ozaki Koyo was the first person Morio chose to recruit because her lover was killed by the previous leader. The fact that she eloped with her lover and fought against the organization for her lover shows that she values her lover very much, and accordingly, she hates the previous leader who ordered the killing of her lover and brought her back.
Mori Ogai first confirmed whether she still had the courage to fight against the previous leader, rather than being directly defeated by this incident, and then promised her that after he took over, he would organize the Port Mafia into what they wanted to see -
Maybe it won't be bright - the nature of the organization determines that it cannot be bright - but at least it won't be as dark as during the reign of the previous leader.
At that time, Ozaki Koyo said: "If you can't do what you promised, I will cut off your head with my own hands."
This is a warning, not a warning about whether Mori Ogai can do it, but a warning about whether Mori Ogai will break his promise in the future and make the port mafia even more difficult to breathe.
If you go against my current feelings, I will kill you myself.
After Mori Gugai came to power, Ozaki Koiyo was the first to bring her people to pledge their loyalty to Mori Gugai. Although her people did not have much power due to the previous leader, it was a banner and a signal. Starting from her, people gradually surrendered to Mori Gugai.
Now, the person that Mori Ou can trust most in the Port Mafia is Ozaki Kouyo.
He informed Ozaki Kouyo that he couldn't come back for the time being and asked her to help look after the port mafia, then hung up the phone.
Even though the Port Mafia just experienced a change of leadership yesterday, it is now the busiest and most chaotic time with the most things going on. Mori Ougai also wants to go back to handle things, but on the one hand, his body is so sick now that even if he does it himself, there is no guarantee that there will be no mistakes; on the other hand, he doesn't know when he can regain control of his body, so he can't do anything if he goes back.
We can't let Ace come. Not to mention whether he can be allowed to see the confidential documents of the port mafia, even if he is allowed to see them, can he understand them?
Yes, Mori Ouwai had already discovered that this guy couldn't read. Even if he was asked to read every word to Ace and write it down, he couldn't do it!
Moreover, judging from Ace's train of thought, Moriogai suspected that even if he could understand it, he would not know how to deal with it at all.
【well……】
Suddenly, Sen Ou let out another sigh.
[…Mr. Ougai, what’s wrong? ]
Ace took a piece of toilet paper and blew his nose, then threw it into the trash can that was moved over to the side. The clinic was not very spacious, so everything was very close.
Sen Ou was silent for a while, then sighed heavily.
[…Mr. Ougai? ]
They were not familiar with each other in the first place, and his brain became dull due to illness, so Ace could not hear what Moriou was sighing.
I've gotten used to being called by my name without realizing it, and as a Japanese I should feel repulsed, but now I just feel tired.
[Ace, I hope you can understand one thing. You are not using your own body, but my body. I am weak and cannot stand your torture.]
Although Sen Ouqi's body was considered healthy and even strong among his peers, he was still humiliated to be labeled as weak. There was no other way. The initiative was not in his hands. He had to admit his humiliation when it was time to compromise.
Ace's groggy mind began to ponder, and he began to reflect on what he had done yesterday. Although thinking about things made his already painful skull even more uncomfortable, as a reliable brother and reliable captain for many years, Ace still tried his best to think.
Yesterday, Mr. Ouwai criticized me for not doing strenuous exercise after a full meal, so... when Mr. Ouwai talked about torturing me, did he mean that I should not do strenuous exercise after a meal?
Ace came to the conclusion that this request was a bit difficult, because he was used to going out without a wallet, and he would inevitably be chased and beaten by the store owner after eating. But since it endangered Mr. Ogai's health, Ace felt that he could still try his best to restrain himself and change this habit as soon as possible.
Although his partners had told him about this bad habit before, it didn't really matter to them at that time, so Ace just let it go. But now the situation is different. If this habit will hurt his partners, he will definitely try his best to change it.
Although Mr. Ougai has only known him for one day, and they are probably not partners yet, their current situation is special! Although it is not voluntary, he is still "alive" in Mr. Ougai's body. Moreover, this body originally belongs to Mr. Ougai, so he certainly cannot ignore Mr. Ougai's physical condition.
So he answered solemnly: [I will try my best to change it.]
Mori Ogai thought that he understood what he meant and would change those strange habits that were harmful to his body, so he was slightly relieved.
At this moment, there was a slight rustling sound coming from the door. Ace turned over and got out of bed, staring at the door vigilantly.
Mori Ogai: [……]
Isn't this quite alert?
[Ace-kun, lie back down. ]
【Mr. Ouwai? 】
Before Sen Ouwai could say that the person who came was probably the kid he knew, the lock on the door clicked and the door was pushed open.
Dazai Osamu, the black-haired kid whom I met yesterday, raised his eyes and saw Ace wearing the Mori Gull shell. He said "Oh wow" immediately. He looked at him with a subtle look and sighed, "Mr. Mori, I didn't realize you have this habit!"
Mori Ogai: [……]
Suddenly I remembered what Ace was wearing now.
Wouldn't it be terrible if this little devil saw it?
However, Ace didn't think there was anything wrong with him. He asked in confusion, "What kind of fetish?"
Dazai thought he was pretending to be doubtful to hide his emotions, and his eyes slowly swept over his exposed chest and abdomen, and he laughed, "Oh, Mr. Mori, this is all you have, and you still want to show it off. The world is really going downhill! I think even if girls see it, they won't find it very attractive, right?"
Mori Ogai: [……]
However, Dazai Osamu didn't stop talking. When Ace hesitated because he didn't understand his implicit words, Dazai Osamu had already added the next sentence: "Speaking of which, Mr. Mori has indeed reached this age for a long time. It's not too early for him to open his screen at this time."
Mori Ogai: [……]
He really wanted to tell this brat to shut up, but seeing that Ace still didn't seem to understand, he didn't know how to remind him.
Dazai Osamu's implicit choice of words really made it difficult for Ace to understand what he really wanted to express. However, with this tone and the mention of women in his words, Ace, who had heard a lot of dirty jokes on the ship before, could actually judge what he was talking about. But the problem was that he had a high fever and his judgment was weakened. Such non-straightforward words made it very difficult for Ace to understand what he was talking about.
So Ace thought hard and replied with something that made no sense: "Thank you?"
Dazai Osamu froze with a slightly mocking face, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
It seems that he didn't praise the other party just now?
Not only was he not exaggerating, he was even mocking him!
Mr. Mori, is there something wrong with your brain today?
