Chapter 95 Silence
Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuuya had never seen such a scene before, and their faces immediately darkened.
Dazai Osamu had already begun to look around with a scary look, trying to find the person who poisoned him, but suddenly he remembered that Ace was a superpower, and theoretically he would not be poisoned, so his expression suddenly became a little subtle. He looked down at Nakahara Chuuya, who had already picked up Ace and started to check on him, and his expression became even more subtle.
Nakahara Chuuya was just too concerned. He had a good relationship with Ace, but when something like this happened, he forgot for a moment that he was a superpower.
Although Nakahara Chuuya knew that Ace was similar to Alice when he saw him appear out of thin air, he felt that Ace was more like a real human than Alice. He had such a distinct personality, would protect his companions, and sometimes even did things against Morigu's wishes... Especially the last one, which was something Alice, a superpower outside of Morigu, would never do.
What's more, when he first met Ace, Ace was still using the body of Morigu. Even though he didn't recognize Ace when he first saw his original appearance, Ace's familiar attitude towards him was not hidden at all, and his personality traits were so obvious that Yuan Zhong recognized him after just a few words.
Various signs indicate that he is not just a psychic, so Chuuya Nakahara often forgets that at least the body used by Ace is essentially a psychic other than Morio, similar to Alice.
Seeing that something had happened here again, and it was something that Sen Ou was very familiar with, he quickly came over to comfort them, "Don't worry, the food here is fine. Ace, it's just that, um, he was too tired recently and fell asleep."
Everyone looked incredulous. After all, who would fall asleep in such a situation? Or did he suddenly fall asleep while eating? He was not an ignorant child. And even if he fell asleep, he should have woken up after falling to the ground like this, right?
However, just as Sen Ou finished speaking, Zhong Yuan Zhong, who was closest to Ace, discovered that a snot bubble came out of Ace's nose, and the size grew and shrank with his breathing, and there was a regular "snorting" sound coming out of his mouth.
Nakahara Chuuya: “…”
Oh my goodness, he actually fell asleep. How did he do that?
Nakahara Chuuya's expression was indescribable. He was about to explain to the leader when the snot bubble on Ace's nose burst. He sat up from the ground with sleepy eyes and touched the back of his head in confusion, "I fell asleep again."
Nakahara Chuuya: ...again?
People around: "..."
Did he really fall asleep?!
Although the banquet went on as usual and no one said anything after this incident, the atmosphere still became subtle. Only the protagonist of the incident acted as if nothing had happened. He ate and drank as usual, unaffected by it.
He was the only one who enjoyed the whole celebration banquet the most.
…
Ace followed Mori Ouwai back home at night. Along the way, Mori Ouwai wanted to say something, but he fell asleep while eating and it was not something Ace could control, so Mori Ouwai didn't know how to say anything.
He wanted to say something several times but stopped himself, and finally let out a sigh.
The people around sighed several times along the way. Ace, who was originally looking around, couldn't help but look sideways, "Mr. Ougai, are you worried about something? Why are you always sighing?"
Sen Ouwai turned his head to look at him, opened his lips, said nothing, and sighed again.
Ace: “???”
Ace looked at him in confusion, "Mr. Ougai?"
Mori Ogai thought about what happened at the banquet just now and wanted to say something, but when he saw Ace, he couldn't help but sigh heavily again. He really didn't want to see Ace now, after all, when he saw his face, he would see his big gold teeth.
He tried to hold back, but couldn't help saying, "Why don't you just grow your teeth back first?"
Ace pursed his lips, "Doesn't it look good?"
Sen Ouwai took a deep breath, and a wave of anger and helplessness came up in his heart. He said faintly: "Do you think this is beautiful?"
Mori Ogai's expression clearly indicated that it was not pretty, so Ace said gloomily, "I think it is very pretty, very feel-able."
Take a deep breath…
Forget it, it’s not like he doesn’t know what this kid’s aesthetic taste is.
Sen Ogai, who had decided not to talk about such meaningless topics with him, said coldly, "Change back."
"……oh."
…
After the celebration banquet incident, Moriogai banned Ace for another week, and this time he was not even allowed to go to Yumeno Hisasaku's place. He had already seen clearly that Ace would cause trouble if he let him out.
In the following months, the impact of the Dragon War gradually subsided, and Mori Ougai finally had his missing tooth implanted.
Mori Ou looked at his tooth in the mirror again and again, feeling deeply moved.
It wasn’t easy, but he finally got the tooth implanted!
At the end of the Dragon War, the Port Mafia expanded greatly. Many organizations in Yokohama were crippled or even disbanded in the previous struggles. The Port Mafia took advantage of this opportunity and swallowed them all at the lowest cost.
The period after the end is when the port mafia recruits a large number of people.
During this period, due to the disintegration of the original organization, there will be many people who have lost their organization. These people were originally mafia members, and they are very familiar with what they need to do after joining the mafia, so they can be used directly.
And because of the collapse of the previous organization, there is a small possibility that he joined them to secretly accumulate strength to turn the tables again. Even if there really is such a person, by then the port mafia will have completely established its foothold and will not be afraid of such a person doing anything tricky.
As the biggest winner in this war of leaders, the recruitment plan of the Port Mafia can be said to be very smooth. Most of those who choose to join the mafia these days are not well educated. After losing the organization, it is difficult for them to enter other industries in society to survive. And those who have been high-level and have a vision cannot accept working from the bottom to the top in a formal company. The gap in money and status makes them feel unbearable.
"The new recruits are all very good. Many of them are good at body techniques or gun techniques, and there are also several people with special abilities."
At afternoon tea time, Ozaki Koyo and Mori Ogai sat opposite each other, and Ozaki Koyo sipped a cup of black tea.
"That couldn't be better." Mori Oo smiled faintly.
"By the way, where's Ace?"
When it comes to Ace, Mori Ougai's expression becomes a little subtle.
"He couldn't stay, so I threw him the list of new members and let him see which ones were sincere in joining us and which ones had ulterior motives."
Ozaki Kouyo's expression became subtle. "Leave this matter to him? Is that okay?"
It's not that she looked down on Ace's abilities, it's just that the kid looked simple-minded, could he see that?
"Just give him something to do."
Mori Ougai didn't think it mattered. After all, this mission was just to get rid of the annoying kid. In his opinion, it didn't matter whether they were undercover agents from other organizations. As long as they could be used, the better. As long as they were not allowed to control the port mafia's voice, there would be no impact.
Then he saw another bill message on his phone.
Mori Ouwai was silent for a moment, then unfolded it and looked at the amount.
Fortunately, the consumption is not high, so it shouldn’t be causing any trouble.
Mori Ou glanced at it and ignored it, continuing to chat with Ozaki Koyo.
The battle for the leader has come to an end, and the subsequent processing has been basically completed. The main task at hand for Moriou recently is the arrangement of new personnel.
People with special abilities and some newcomers who originally held high positions in other organizations cannot be arranged at will. Any new arrangements made for them by the people below need to be submitted to Mori Ougai for review.
It can be said that compared with the previous period of time, Sen Ou finally has so much free time.
But not long after, a new consumption text message appeared, and the amount was also not large.
Sen Ou paused for a moment, still ignored him, and muted his phone.
Seeing this, Ozaki Kouyo raised her eyebrows slightly, "Is it okay to just mute it like this? It's easy to miss important messages and calls, right?"
"Nothing will happen in just a moment."
He doesn't raise so many people just to eat and eat. If something happens when he doesn't keep an eye on them, wouldn't it be a waste of his efforts?
On the other side, Ace, who had been swiping his card non-stop, was holding a bag of cat food and poking the head of a cat on the table with his finger, poking the cat's face again and again, making it twist.
"It seems it doesn't eat cat food."
Ranpo Edogawa dug into his pudding and glanced at the cat on the table. "He's eating the fish."
"What about the little fish?" Ace thought, "Then let's go fishing!"
Edogawa Ranpo decisively refused, "I won't go. I want to stay here and have a snack. If you want to feed him dried fish, you can go to the supermarket next door and buy some. Anyway, I'll wait for you here."
After the last time the president took him to the hospital to get a tooth fixed, his sweets have been limited. Although there were limits before, the restrictions are now stricter.
He had found this meal ticket with great difficulty this time. If he hadn't seen him in contact with people from the port mafia, he wouldn't have paid much attention to him.
He almost didn't recognize the guy who had treated him to dessert because he no longer had a body other than Morigu.
But he definitely wouldn't point this out in front of Ace!
Ace was disappointed for a moment, but soon perked up again. "Wait for me, I'll go buy some dried fish and come back."
Glancing at Ace leaving the store, Edogawa Ranpo lowered his head and looked at the calico cat licking its paws in front of him. He pouted and said, "Hmph, you philandering little cat. You cheated the boss out of Xiaoyugan and refused to let him touch it. But now you let someone else touch it again."
The philandering little kitty meowed innocently.
"Forget it, if you come back with us later and let the president touch you, I'll forgive you!"
"Meow~"
"Ranbu! I bought some dried fish!" Ace ran in with a bag of dried fish, tore open the bag as he walked over, sat down opposite Edogawa, and took out a dried fish to try to feed it.
This time the kitten did not stretch out its paw to refuse the feeding. Instead, it licked the fish's head and picked up the dried fish in one bite.
"Take me back to the detective agency later."
"good."
When the two were leaving the dessert shop, the kitten that came over for a free meal kicked up its hind legs and prepared to run away, but Ace quickly grabbed it from under his armpit and brought it back into his arms.
Edogawa Ranpo immediately became excited when he saw him. "Great! Let's take him back to the detective agency!"
Calico cat: “Meow…”
