Chapter 73 Are You Home?

Wei Erlan wanted to go to college, and Lan Tang positioned himself as a study assistant.

He believed that Paul could get into college if he studied hard, but it was unlikely that he could get into a world-class school. But he couldn't say this directly.

It was hard to find a way to break the ice in their relationship. If Paul had just told him to lower his goals, Paul might have kicked him out.

Two people formed a study group.

Mori Ogai heard that Verlaine was in a very complicated mood when he was preparing to enter a prestigious school. In other words, is Verlaine really working so hard for Chuuya's education?

Then he now had something to say to evade Ace's request for a fight, "Weilan is busy studying for his college entrance exams. If you go and fight him, won't that delay his studies?"

Although Ace didn't know what was good about going to college, it wasn't a bad thing to study □□. But this undoubtedly told him that, at least in the short term, he couldn't think of fighting with Wei Erlan.

He was immediately disappointed. "Can't you spare some time to come out? A fight doesn't take much time, maybe just a few days at most."

Mori Ogai:……? ?

How many days? ? Do you mean the days where you take a break after fighting for a while and then continue fighting until there is a result? Or do you mean the days you fight for? Do you count the days when you fight? ? An average person will die if they don't eat or drink for 5 days! Even someone with a very good physique will die in 10 days!

He asked cautiously, "When you say a few days at most, you don't mean a few days of continuous fighting, right?"

Ace answered as a matter of course: [Of course, how can you stop fighting in the middle and then continue fighting later?]

Mori Ou examined his own physical condition and felt that it was not acceptable.

A normal person who does not absorb water for three days is very likely to faint, not to mention fighting, which is an activity that causes a lot of water loss, and this does not even take into account physical strength and sleep. If you consider it, a person who does not sleep for three days is likely to die suddenly, not to mention when he is mentally active and highly focused.

Besides, he is already 34 years old, and is no longer in his prime physical condition. If he continues to fight as Ace said, his body might be cold by the third day!

This is horrible! What’s even scarier is that this inference is based on something that is very likely to happen in reality!

Mori Ougai thought about it for a while and felt that it would be best to stop this if possible.

He considered his words and asked, "Ace, why do you insist on fighting Weilun? Aren't there many people in the organization who can spar with you?"

[How can they be the same!] Ace immediately retorted, [I made an agreement with Verlaine that if I beat him, he would become my partner! And I have already fought all the fighters in the organization, and Chuuya has a lot of work to do, so I can never find him... Verlaine is different, didn't you say before that he is very strong? I want to challenge him and give it a try!]

There was a period of time when there was a craze for learning Haki within the Port Mafia, but it soon cooled down because people could not understand it. During this period of time, Ace basically picked out all the stronger fighters within the organization, and the strongest one was Chuuya Nakahara.

What's even more gratifying is that Chuuya Nakahara is also a martial arts person, and he is not averse to such activities. He was also very enthusiastic when fighting with Ace. The only problem is that with high combat power and a lot of work, he has little time to spare for such activities.

Now that there's a stronger one to challenge, Ace can't help but feel a little excited.

Sen Ou sighed and changed his angle: "Have you ever thought about inviting Wei Erlan to be your companion in a different way?"

【What method? 】

Sen Ou Wai thought for a moment and asked him, "When you invited someone to be your partner, did you always fight with them first?"

[How is that possible! Not everyone is as good at fighting as me!] Ace is still quite confident in his own fighting ability. It is said that there is a division of labor on the ship, and there are always some companions who are better at mental activities and have average fighting ability.

In their world, those who can choose to go to sea all have some strength, but strength and ability to fight are two completely different things. If we compare the ability to fight in their world with the ordinary people with strength, the ratio is 1:10,000. One person who can fight can beat 10,000 ordinary people with strength, and it is not a big deal.

"Then why don't you use other methods to invite Weilaine? Maybe he prefers other ways of invitation?" Sen Ouwai asked in a persuasive manner.

Ace's mind immediately became tangled: [But, Weierlaan is the type who can fight? ]

According to his experience, people who are good at fighting must first recognize his fighting ability before they will agree to join him, right?

Sen Ouwai paused and said, "Lan Tang is also a very good fighter, but do you think the previous leader agreed to let him join the Port Mafia because he could beat him?"

[Ah? Isn't it?] Ace really didn't know. The previous leader who died and came back to life in Raybo Street seemed to be quite powerful.

"Of course not." Mori Owl sighed, "The Mafia is somewhat different from you pirates. The leader doesn't need to be the strongest, but he must be able to control the direction of the entire organization and keep the organization sailing through the waves without sinking."

[Is that so...] Ace thought, [Then I understand.]

Mori Ougai:……?

He said he understood without asking him, which made Sen Ou Wai a little nervous. He really couldn't figure out how this kid, whose brain circuits were sometimes a little silly, said he understood.

In order to prevent the situation from getting out of his control again, Mori Ogai quickly asked, "So what are you going to do?"

[Use methods other than fighting to invite him to be my partner. If one doesn't work, try another! ]

Sen Ou Wai did not dare to be arrogant and asked, "...For example?"

【For example, keep inviting him until he agrees. 】

Sen Ou thought for a moment. Every time he met Verlaine, Verlaine would come to his office. Normally, he would come to consult him about how brothers should get along with each other. Yes, he had gotten used to this during this time.

At the beginning, he would complain silently in his heart: Can you not always consult him for such trivial matters? Is he some kind of emotional expert?! Can't you read the encyclopedia?! Is this how you become an assassin king?!

But now his heart was calm.

Isn't it just to consult him about emotional problems? It's better than coming to kill him, right?

As for whether Verlaine might come to kill him, it is unlikely given the current development of events. Verlaine made the assassination list himself, not a request, so there is no need to complete the list.

If they really wanted to kill him, there would be others waiting in line ahead of him, and he would always get the news in advance before Weilun came to kill him.

Mori Ougai thought about it and felt that there should be no problem until the exchange in the evening.

Ace had dinner delivered directly to the door!

He stood at Verlaine's door, holding a bag of fried chicken he bought on the road, and slammed it: "Verlaine, Verlaine! Are you home?"

Mori Ou was almost suffocating watching this.

[Wait, wait a minute! ]

[What's the matter?] Ace asked while knocking on the door. His response to Moriou's question did not delay him from knocking on the door at all.

【Stop taking pictures! 】

【oh.】

Ace was very obedient, but he had been filming for so long that even Lantang next door could hear it, and of course Wei Erlan also heard it. He opened the door, looked at Ace standing at the door, frowned and asked, "What do you want?"

Ace held the paper bag in his arms in front of him and grinned, "Want some fried chicken?"

Weilun stared at his smiling face for a while, then stared at the fried chicken dimly, then looked at Ace again, his eyes subtly turning sideways, "Come in."

Ace walked into the house without any hesitation, put the fried chicken bag on his living room table, then took out all the paper boxes, paper tubes and paper bags inside and placed them all over the table. Then he waved to Weilun who was standing not far away and quietly watching him finish the arrangement: "Come and eat together!"

[Ace! Didn’t you say you bought this for Verlaine?! ]

Although Moriogai knew when Ace bought them that some of them would go into Ace's stomach, and he tried to stop him, he didn't say anything after Ace used the excuse that he was buying them for Weilun. He also knew that it was Ace who was controlling the body now, and as long as he wanted to buy them, he couldn't stop him no matter how hard he tried.

But knowing the ending is one thing, telling him or not is another. We can't let Ace get used to it.

Ace is always straightforward and doesn't like to use his brain, but he is very creative when it comes to eating. He said: "But Verlaine seems to be very restrained. If I eat in front of him, he will quickly join in!"

Mori Ogai: [……]

God can’t let go!

[I hope you remember that you went to the doctor last time because I had indigestion due to overeating :)]

Ace looked away guiltily, [Hmm... well... I'll be more careful this time, haha.]

Mori Ouwai laughed at him: [I hope you really pay attention. ]

While Ace was responding to Senou, he had already opened a cylinder, grabbed a chicken wing and took a bite. While chewing, he waved at Weilun: "Why don't you come over?"

Weilun frowned again, walked up to Ace, glanced at the fried chicken on the table, sat down across the table from him, and did not touch the fried chicken on the table, "You came here just to treat me to fried chicken?"

"I want to invite you to be my partner!" He threw away the chicken bone in his hand, picked up another chicken wing, and put it to Wei'laine's mouth, grinning with his teeth showing, his eyes crooked, "Eat it, it's delicious!"

Weilun lowered his eyelids, glanced at the chicken wing that was handed to his mouth and the other person's greasy hand, then stared at Ace's smiling face for a while, raised his eyebrows slightly, pushed his hand away, slowly picked up the disposable gloves that Ace had ignored, put them on himself, and then took a chicken leg to eat.

This Mori Ogai is so unhygienic that he actually used his hands, which he had pinched and chewed chicken bones, to give food to him. He is indeed a person from the countryside. What's the use of a diploma from the University of Tokyo? He still doesn't know any etiquette? Chuuya's education really can't be left to him.

He glanced at Ace, who took the chicken wings back to eat after he rejected them, and his eyelids drooped slightly.

But, never mind.

It's still delicious, but it seems a little cold and greasy.
