Chapter 70 Dinner
Since that night when he ate a meal of oden in the ward alone, Wei Erlan went to Nakahara Chuuya's ward every day without fail, and stayed there for most of the day. Later, Nakahara Chuuya couldn't stand it anymore, and he was discharged from the hospital before his injury was fully healed.
Although he was discharged from the hospital, Sen Ou did not let him return to work immediately. After all, Verlaine was watching him closely, so he still had to do it, otherwise he would worry that Verlaine would kill him if he was unhappy. After all, Verlaine was the kind of person who could kill people for strange reasons.
Although Weilan does not seem to have any intention of completing his assassination list at the moment, everyone knows that this man has a strange way of thinking. Before they are sure that Weilan will not pose a threat to them, Sen Ou Wai dare not let down his guard.
However, now that he saw that there was hope of pulling the other party over to his side, he couldn't help but start to have some small ideas.
He saw clearly that Verlaine's new attitude towards him was based on the fact that he was a successful brother. Almost every time he came, he came to consult him on how to get along with his brother. As long as Ace could guarantee that Verlaine would not be killed when they fought, he could leave Verlaine's affairs to Ace, and maybe he could really keep him in the Port Mafia.
However, Dazai Osamu came to report on his work the day after he cooked oden in the ward that night.
Actually there is not much to report, it is mainly to make fun of his missing tooth.
This little bastard must have discovered it the day before when he was in Weilan's office with him, but he deliberately waited until Ace was offline before mocking him. What a bad idea!
Because they were on Weilun's assassination list, the Flag Society didn't assign them any long-distance or troublesome missions in the past few days. But after being worried for a few days, they found that there seemed to be nothing to worry about, so they invited Nakahara Chuuya, who had just been discharged from the hospital, to a reunion.
However, the "old world" has collapsed, and as the center of the event, it has collapsed most completely and has not yet been rebuilt. They can only find another place to gather.
This time they were looking for an entertainment club on the next street, but what they never expected was that Nakahara Chuuya, who arrived first, was followed not only by the robot seen last time, but also by the leader!
Several people suddenly became cautious, greeted the leader, and then retreated to the side to form a circle.
However, the leader's attention was all on the robot, which made them feel relieved.
They pulled Nakahara aside and whispered, "Hey, Chuuya, what's going on between you and that Verlaine?"
Nakahara Chuuya scratched his head and said, "I'm not sure either. That guy is weird... Anyway, if he still wants to attack you, I will definitely stop him."
Several people looked at each other for a while, sighed at the same time, and then couldn't help but look at the leader who seemed to be particularly lively today.
Ace is still persistently trying to dig into the corner of the European police, "What's so good about being a police officer? If you become my partner, I will give you the best engine oil to drink!"
Mori Ogai: [……]
Shameful.
"Although engine oil can be said to be the food of the machine, strictly speaking, there is no difference in the taste of engine oil for the machine, only whether the quality meets the standards."
"Then I'll buy you the best motor oil?"
"My dream is to form a team of robot detectives to replace human detectives. I will not join the mafia."
"There are even people in the navy who leave the team to become pirates, so why can't criminal police become members of the mafia?"
"Although my mission to Japan this time is to protect Mr. Chuuya, I am a robot detective with a bottom line."
"Well, why don't you give it a try first? Maybe after a few days you'll realize the joy of being a mafia member and won't want to be a detective anymore."
…
There was a moment of silence at the flag club, and everyone had strange looks on their faces.
Albatross's mouth twitched, and he whispered, "Well... Chief... uh, this ambition is still worth encouraging."
"But this kind of rhetoric is absolutely impossible to succeed, right?" The PR officer complained in a low voice, relying on the distance between him and Ace and the high probability that the other party couldn't hear the volume.
"Ahem." The pianist coughed and reminded, "Don't say bad things about the leader."
The public relations officer curled his lips.
Everyone had been on edge recently because of Verlaine's matter, but now that it was basically confirmed that Verlaine would not take any action for the time being, they were finally able to relax a little.
...Then in the evening when everyone was getting ready to have dinner together, Weilun blocked the entrance of the club again.
This familiar scene made everyone in the flag club tense up again, staring at Weilun with nervous vigilance.
But Verlaine ignored everyone else in the club, stared straight at Nakahara Chuuya, and stretched out his right hand with his palm facing up: "Chuuya, do you want to have dinner together?"
Nakahara Chuuya subconsciously wanted to refuse but he didn't say it out loud. He had understood this man's way of thinking a little bit after spending the past few days together. He immediately thought of the possible consequences if he refused -
The other party will probably say: You don't want to have dinner with your brother? It turns out that these people are holding you back, right? Wait for me, I will go and get rid of them right away :)
When he thought of this, Zhong Yuanzhong felt his scalp tingling.
He raised his eyes and saw that the other person was looking at him gently, but his eyes showed a little sign of glancing away -
"Okay! You go out first and wait for me." Nakahara Chuuya was actually afraid of him, fearing that he would notice the other people in the flag society nearby, so he quickly agreed to his request just in case.
Wei'erlaan's expression lightened visibly. He smiled and said, "Then I'll wait for you outside."
Treat other people as nothing.
When Weilun left his sight, Nakahara Chuuya suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.
The pianist looked over with some concern, "Chuuya, are you okay?"
"It's, it's okay..." Zhong Yuanzhong didn't know how to describe it. It wasn't actually dangerous for him to get along with Wei'laine. The problem was that it was too stressful. He always had to worry that Wei'laine would go crazy and attack his companions. In short, it was tiring.
"Don't force yourself." Leng Xue also said.
"It's... not that hard..." Nakahara Chuuya scratched his head.
Ace, who had sneaked over from Adam's place at some point, put his arm on his shoulders and said, "Chuuya, did you have a fight with your brother?"
Nakahara Chuuya had a confused expression, "It can't be considered a quarrel..."
Ace ignored his unconvincing rebuttal and said, "Brothers can just talk it out. If it doesn't work, just fight!" He raised his thumb and smiled, "If one fight doesn't solve it, fight twice. It will always work out!"
After hearing this, Nakahara Chuuya felt very unhappy. If he and Verlaine had really had a fight to resolve the issue, he would have been taken to France by Verlaine by now!
The corners of his mouth twitched speechlessly, and he turned around with some difficulty under Ace's restraint. Just as he was about to say something in retort, he saw the conspicuous gap between his two rows of white teeth.
"Chief, what's wrong with your teeth?" Nakahara Chuuya said in shock.
Last time in the ward, due to the position and angle, Nakahara Chuuya did not see Ace's defective teeth. He has not met Ace or Mori Ougai since then. Ace has been hanging around Adam just now, so he just noticed this now.
Several other more careful members of the flag club had actually discovered it a long time ago, but they all pretended that they had not noticed it and coincidentally did not mention the matter.
Although I don't know what the leader is thinking, it's always better to keep silent.
Being asked about this matter was like being reminded again. He subconsciously licked the gap with his tongue again, and then smiled and said, "It's okay. I accidentally knocked out a tooth when I was drinking with your brother."
[This tooth is so weak that it can even bite off a bottle cap. ]
Mori Ogai: [……]
He didn't want to talk, he didn't even want to think about what other people would think when they heard him say this.
Sure enough, Nakahara Chuuya's pupils trembled after hearing this.
What?!? Did he drink too much? Did his weird brother beat him up?!?
Just as his mind was racing, Weilun's voice came from outside again: "Chuuya, are you okay?"
“Okay, okay, I’ll come!” Nakahara Chuuya’s expression suddenly became solemn, and his face was heavy, with a kind of desolate and cold face. “I’ll go.”
Others in the flag club couldn't help but join in the atmosphere: "Take care!"
Ace was the only one who looked upset. He even waved to Nakahara Chuuya in high spirits: "Come on, Chuuya!"
The robot didn't understand the human atmosphere, so it said in a scientific tone: "According to calculations, the possibility of a fight between the two is very low, so don't worry."
The public relations officer glanced at him and said, "Alas, mechanical creatures don't understand human nature."
Adam: “……?”
…
Although Verlaine wanted to find a very romantic Western restaurant, but considering that this was the first time he and his brother had dinner together, he thought about it and decided to choose a Japanese restaurant that might be more to their liking.
The two of them sat down in a window seat. As gravity manipulators, they were both confident in their own abilities and were not afraid of being assassinated.
But after the two of them sat down, they had nothing to say. Weilun was not good at finding topics to chat about, very bad, he could only threaten and intimidate the mission targets, and threaten and argue with those idiots in the upper echelons. Nakahara Chuuya felt that it was very awkward for the two of them to sit across from each other for dinner, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
Last time in the ward, Ace and Dazai Osamu were there, joking around with Adam, but this time it was obviously different.
The two waited quietly until the food was served, and then began to eat quietly.
Verlaine tried to speak several times but did not know what to say, and then he just ate a mouthful of his rice.
Nakahara Chuuya ate nervously while waiting for him to speak.
Finally, halfway through the meal, Wei Erlain spoke. He spoke slowly, biting each word, "Chuuya, I found a villa by the sea in Yokohama and I'm living there now."
Nakahara Chuuya said dryly: “…Oh, it’s good.”
"Well... Artil lives next door to me."
“Ah… Really?”
"I mean, you can come and visit me when you are free...ah, it would be even better if you could live with your brother."
"Well……"
"Oh, one more thing. I'm planning to hire a tutor for you. What kind of tutor do you want?"
“Ah…ah?”
Nakahara Chuuya's nervous and embarrassed expression instantly turned into confusion.
Wait, what happened just now? Why did it suddenly jump to a channel for hiring tutors! ?
Weilun continued to speak: "I've thought about it. If I come alone, my knowledge may not be comprehensive enough. If I hire a few more people, I can make up for it."
Nakahara Chuuya was greatly shocked——
Have you ever thought about going to bed yourself?
