Chapter 77 Utilization Value
The woman who takes care of Yumeno Hisasaku is named Eri. She is from the guerrilla unit directly under the leader and takes orders directly from Mori Ogai.
After leaving Dazai Osamu, Yumeno Hisasaku's cursed doll was placed in Mori Osamu's office, and Eri would go to Dazai Osamu every once in a while to remove the mark of the brain hell.
Yumeno Hisasaku's current situation is similar to Ace's, except that it took longer to last.
Children like to run around more than adults, but Yumeno Hisasaku's situation is special, and Moriowa can't let him go out to play by himself, otherwise the Special Powers Department will call him at any moment to notify him to go over and deal with the problem.
In order to satisfy Yumeno Hisasaku's desire to go out and play, Eri installed a game console for him.
Originally, he was old enough to go to elementary school. Eri had reported this to Mori Ogai before. Ace's attitude was that it was okay to not learn well, but it was necessary to not learn. Mori Ogai also accepted this, but the problem was that the child liked playing more than studying.
At first, Yumeno Hisasaku studied for a while because it was new and interesting, but he was soon drawn back to the game. However, because he did not study hard enough, Yumeno Hisasaku did not develop a dislike for studying, but on the contrary, his learning results were not very obvious.
However, Mori Ougai didn't really care about this. To him, as long as Yumeno Hisasaku's special abilities could be used for his benefit, that was enough.
He asked Eri to leave the room and sat next to Yumeno Hisasaku.
Yumeno Hisasaku, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, saw from the corner of his eye that it was Mori Owl who came. He immediately put down the game controller in his hand, knelt down facing him obediently, and glanced at him secretly with his head slightly lowered.
Game over appeared on the screen within two seconds.
Mori Ogai, who noticed this, was very satisfied, because it meant that Yumeno Hisasaku was obedient to him. Whether it was because of fear of him or because of something else, as long as this result made him satisfied, it was enough.
Mori Ogai hadn't come to see Yumeno Hisasaku for a while, or rather, it was Ace who came to see him. Anyway, Ace's visit was the same as his own visit, and Mori Ogai only wanted to ensure that Yumeno Hisasaku was still under his control, and he didn't plan to spend much time on him.
However, Ace's attention was previously on Weilan and Adam, and up to now, he has not come to see Yumeno Hisasaku for nearly half a month.
Mori Ou glanced at the various high-calorie snacks on the coffee table and asked nonchalantly, "Are you happy recently?"
"Hmm... um." Yumeno Hisasaku responded nervously while pinching his fingers.
He was almost aware of the two sides of Sen Ou Wai. When the other Sen Ou Wai came to find him, he would call his name loudly as soon as he entered the door, and then sit down and play with him.
Since he came to the Port Mafia, the only person who would relax and have fun with him was this one person. Even Eri, who was assigned to take care of him, was more caring than kind to him because of the leader's orders.
In his eyes, this uncle is his little friend, the only person who can play with him and the only person who can make him completely relax.
But this Mori Owl was different now. Perhaps out of his instinctive sense of danger, Yumeno Hisasaku was subconsciously a little scared when he saw him.
When he came in, he was not like the other him. He walked in quietly and was not as enthusiastic when talking to him, which made him involuntarily feel reserved.
To the person who was already completely under his control, Mori Ogai asked a few questions and then went straight to the point: "Kusaku, our organization may be in crisis in the next period of time, and we may need your strength at that time... Are you willing to give your strength to me?"
"...Huh?" Yumeno Hisasaku raised his head in surprise, with confusion in his beautiful eyes, "My, that...my power, is there anyone who needs it?"
His special ability has always been regarded as a disaster. Those who hurt him are persecuted by his special ability, those who want to use him are retaliated by him, and those who approach others with good intentions can see the fear of others at a glance.
His supernatural powers are feared and hated.
"Of course, you have very powerful abilities. People naturally feel awe and fear towards powerful people and things, which is exactly the manifestation of your powerful abilities." Mori Ogai affirmed him, "Only people with utilization value have the right to live. Jiusaku, you have the value of being needed. The value you have is enough to make you have more right to live than most people in this world."
Ace: [……? ]
The other person in his body made a confused voice: "Isn't this right? What do you mean that people who are useful have the right to live? It is everyone's right to want to live. Does that mean people who are not useful cannot live?"
Mori Ogai answered calmly: [Everyone can live in this world only if they have value. This is the rule of this world, and no one can escape this rule.]
[But I am not living just because I am useful.] Ace's voice became lower, [In order to escape the navy's capture, my mother took secret medicine and forced herself to carry me for 20 months before I was born. I was able to be born because of my mother's... love. She knew that she would die if she gave birth to me like this...]
[And my grandpa, he was my... father's old enemy, but just because my father asked him to do so, he brought me back to my hometown and kept my background a secret for twenty years... They never took advantage of me.]
[Emotional value is also value.] Mori Owl's calm voice now sounded more like indifference.
[That's not the case!] Ace retorted excitedly.
In Ace's opinion, such words should never be used between family members and partners! It is an insult to them!
However, at this moment, Yumeno Hisasaku, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke: "I also have... the value of being needed?" He suddenly laughed, a kind of creepy smile with a little neurosis, "But they all say that monsters like me should die, right?"
In fact, he couldn't fully understand what Mori Ougai said, but he roughly understood that he was saying that he was useful and had more qualifications to survive than others.
Mori Ogai did not have any extra reaction. He still looked at him calmly, and there was a hint of gentleness in his words: "People like to call the unknown or irresistible things monsters. You don't have to be resentful about this, and you don't have to care about what those people say. You are needed, Kokusaku. I need you right now."
The smile on Yumeno Hisasaku's face suddenly disappeared. He suddenly knelt on the sofa and moved closer to Mori Owl. He put his hands on his thighs, half twisted his upper body, and tilted his head to look at him in an unprecedented bold posture. "Do you need me?" He smiled, "Then let me mark you, okay?"
He stretched out one hand and grabbed Sen Ou's other hand, placed it on his neck, then pressed his hand on the back of his hand, leading him to slowly tighten it.
Sen Ou frowned but did not stop him.
The cursed doll is still in his office, and it is safe now even if it is marked.
A strange purple handprint appeared on his neck. Mori Ou showed a helpless expression, "Are you satisfied?"
Yumeno Hisasaku slowly withdrew his hand and stared at him blankly. After a while, as if he suddenly realized something, he suddenly stood up and fell back on the sofa. His lips trembled a few times, and then he said hesitantly: "Even so, do you still need me?"
"Of course." Sen Ouwai said affirmatively.
Then he said to Ace on the other side: [Ace, it is a good thing for people in our world to be used.]
[Some people can only survive if they are needed. ]
…
Rumors of the 500 billion yen inheritance quickly spread throughout Yokohama's underworld.
In order to speed up the process and reduce losses, the port mafia personally stepped in to speed up the spread of rumors.
The chaos that was about to sweep across the entire Yokohama had officially begun.
Soon, the intelligence department gathered information that some organizations had already had some minor frictions because of the 500 billion. Even the port mafia itself had some minor frictions with other organizations because of this uneasy atmosphere.
Mori Ogai looked at the casualties reported by the colonel. Although it was not much, he was still a little upset. This was just the early warm-up. He expected some casualties, but he was not very happy about the casualties.
Especially since these casualties were unnecessary.
The main reason was that another armed fight broke out between two organizations and hit their territory. The colonel's people were waiting behind, ready to wait for both organizations to be defeated so that they could take everything. However, it turned out that there were more than one people who had the same idea as them.
The problem is that there are only a few people in Yokohama who dare to steal from the Port Mafia on their territory. The colonel's people did find that there were people from other organizations watching around, but he had already been on high alert for the organizations that needed attention, and the rest were just small fry, and he didn't take them seriously.
...and then was attacked by scumbags.
The casualties were just unable to react at first, but after they reacted, they were completely crushed. I don't know what the leader of the opposing force was thinking. With such little capital, he dared to touch the cake of the port mafia. It is rare to be so stupid.
But this is not a bad thing.
At least when we cleaned up the battlefield, we recovered a batch of weapons and equipment from the enemy, and...
Mori Ogai called Dazai Osamu right away and said, "Dazai-kun, I think you've heard about the colonel's situation. I'd like you to make some arrangements." He chuckled and said, "Revenge is a very good reason, isn't it?"
He had absolutely no intention of listening to the other party's answer as to whether he had really heard about that incident. Anyway, the other party would know what he was talking about as long as he took a quick look at it. If he really asked him to answer, Dazai Osamu might even argue with him for a while on the grounds that he "didn't hear about it".
[Yes, I understand. - Mr. Mori.] There was a bit of chaos on the other end of the phone, but Dazai Osamu's tone was still a little lazy, and it was obvious that he was not affected at all.
Sen Ou hung up the phone, opened the curtains and looked out the window.
The height of the top floor of the port building prevented him from hearing any possible gunfire on the ground, but he seemed to still smell the smell of gunpowder.
“Now it’s the second phase.”
The huge amount of inheritance has made the entire Yokohama restless. After continuous friction, there will be retaliation between various organizations, and the war is about to expand.
