Chapter 97 The Office Exploded
Motojiro Kajii is a psychic who recently joined the Port Mafia.
Every time a new person with special abilities joins the organization, a copy of their resume and background check will be sent to Mori Ougai, and Mori Ougai will remember the name of every special ability user in the organization, so of course he also has an impression of this name.
As mentioned before, people with special abilities are more likely to rise to higher positions in the mafia because the higher-ups will consciously pay more attention to them than to ordinary people. Moreover, if you need to rely on special abilities to complete a mission, there is no way to hide it.
The Port Mafia's recruitment form includes a section on supernatural powers. If you don't fill it in when you join the company, and later it is revealed that you have supernatural powers, you will be suspected by the higher-ups. It will be difficult to move up to a higher position, but being treated as someone with ulterior motives will be a big deal!
Although people with special abilities generally do not fill out the information completely truthfully when filling out the information form, except for those who have very clear special abilities, everyone will consciously hide a part of it as a trump card. This is a life-saving ability, especially in the mafia, if you don't hide it at all, you will be easily targeted.
Just like Lan Tang before, everyone thought that his ability was space manipulation. If the previous leader had not been resurrected, who would have known that his ability could also allow corpses to stand up and possess their own consciousness before death to continue moving?
Chuuya Nakahara is an exception, as he came in through a special channel. The organization first saw his ability and then invited him to join. Of course, Lan Tang also went through this channel. After all, his ability to manipulate space was very strong. Who would have thought that his special ability could be used in other ways?
However, Motojiro Kajii's special ability is called "Lemon Bomb". Even if he wants to hide it, he can't. The name of the special ability is obviously related to bombs.
The description of his special ability he submitted was that he could control the explosion time of lemon-shaped bombs and would never be hurt by such bombs. The only drawback was that he had to make these bombs himself.
When Motojiro Kajii is not controlling the bombs, these lemon bombs are just ordinary pull-ring bombs or time bombs, etc., but...
When he saw Ace say that the two lemons were bombs and mentioned the keyword Kajii Motojiro, he immediately reacted and asked Ace seriously: [What kind of bomb is that!? ]
Before Ace could answer, an explosion was heard in the office.
The guard outside shouted "Enemy Attack" and sounded the alarm before rushing in. "Captain! Are you okay?"
Mori Ogai, who was hiding behind the collapsed desk, said: [……]
[Ah... He said that it can't be shaken violently, or it will explode.] Ace explained awkwardly, then stood up from behind the collapsed desk and said to the two guards with a laugh, "It's okay, it's just that the two bombs I just brought back exploded."
Mori Ogai: [……]
Ace! You are such a bastard!
He took a deep breath and then let it out heavily.
Mori Ogai's voice remained flat as he said, "Let them go and close the police first..."
Before he finished speaking, a large part of the French window in the office was shattered. Nakahara Chuuya flew in from the window and quickly came to the outside of Moriou, "Boss, where is the enemy?"
Mori Ogai: [……]
"Ah? No, it was the two lemons I brought back that exploded. They all misunderstood."
Nakahara Chuuya: "?? Lemon? Exploded?"
"It's a bomb I got from a new companion. It's a creature with special powers, very interesting!" Ace replied.
[Let's talk later, Ace, let him turn off the police first! ]
"Oh, right!" Ace slapped his forehead and ordered the two gatekeepers, "Go turn off the alarm."
[Also, have them find someone to replace this desk, and have the French windows repaired. Also, have them issue a notice for you, asking those who submitted documents here today to submit another copy.]
[Got it.] Ace followed his instructions and the two guards immediately responded with a “yes” and went to do their work.
The fallen Nakahara Chuuya now realized that he seemed to have misunderstood, and said awkwardly: "That... Ace? I was too anxious just now, and I thought..."
"It's nothing. I'm fine, right?" Ace said nonchalantly. "Besides, have you forgotten that I have armed colors? This little explosion can't hurt me!"
It doesn't hurt you, but it hurts my office! This is a completely unnecessary expense! Are you a money-eater? How much money have you swallowed from me during this period of time!
Mori Ougai was distressed because he was not in control of his body and he was too lazy to even force a smile!
Fortunately, Dazai Osamu was on a mission today, otherwise I would be here to see him make a fool of himself!
Nakahara Chuuya pressed down his hat awkwardly and said, "Anyway, I'm glad you're alright."
"Yeah." Ace glanced at the French window with a big hole in it, turned around and said, "It's time for dinner, let's go out for dinner together!"
Mori Ougai, who was preparing to discipline the child after Nakahara Chuuya left: …?
Feeling guilty, Nakahara Chuuya said: “Okay, okay.”
He now knew that there were two persons inside the body of Sen Gu. When Ace went on board, Chief Sen must have been watching. He had just broken the window of the chief's office, and turned around to go to dinner with his friends right under the chief's nose. The chief might be staring at him inside his body. He felt embarrassed when he thought about it.
But...haha, haha (dry laugh), it would be even more embarrassing if I just slipped away like this.
Mori Ogai: ...
Forget it, next time, next time. I will educate him when Ace comes back in the evening.
…
As it turned out, it was not a wise move to let Ace go out with a friend who was so compatible with him in every way, because the two of them did not go back home directly after dinner, but went walking on the street to digest their food.
"By the way, Chuuya, I don't think I've seen Adam recently. Has he come to see you?"
"Adam? He's back in Europe." Nakahara Chuuya explained, "He came here because of Verlaine's case. He stayed in Yokohama after Verlaine's case was over because his doctor told him to stay here to experience some kind of life. He's been here for several months and helped us in the previous incident. It's time for him to go back."
In fact, the words that the doctor said when he asked Adam to stay in Yokohama made him feel quite emotional. Non-humans were a problem for him, but not for Adam. Letting a robot try to live in a human way and experience human emotions is essentially a kind of equal treatment of the robot, and it may even be a kind of love for the robot.
Maybe it's because they are not human in essence, but Zhongyuan Zhongye grew up with human cognition, so he feels this more deeply.
Mori Ogai immediately became alert: [What about Weilun's case? Ace, ask Chuuya if he has told Chuuya how to report the matter to Weilun when he returns.]
Ace asked for him, and Nakahara Chuuya said, "He said that the doctor told him that it was up to him to decide how to talk about Verlaine. Verlaine is now living in seclusion in Yokohama, so he decided to keep the fact that Verlaine stayed in Yokohama a secret."
"Is that so..." Ace was a little disappointed. He had originally wanted to invite this super cool robot to be his companion.
"But speaking of Verlaine, I remember that I still have a fight with him."
Just one sentence made Sen Ouwai's heart rise.
But this time it was Nakahara Chuuya who saved his fluctuating heart: "Can't you pinch out your own body now? You can fight him in your own image. Chief Mori himself wouldn't want to do this, right?"
Nakahara Chuuya, who had just broken the leader's window, felt that his chance to save the situation had come. Weilun was too harsh and asked Ace to fight him with the leader's body. What if something really went wrong? But if Ace used a special body to fight, he would not be killed.
Mori Ogai: That's right! I really don't want to do this! Who wants to fight the Transcendent if they are not forced? It's not like I'm tired of living!
Ace was not stubborn in this regard, "You're right, I'll go find him another day."
Nakahara Chuuya breathed a sigh of relief. But speaking of Weilun, he actually had something to say, "Hey, Ace, I may not have much time to hang out with you recently. Let's talk about the supercar I mentioned to you last time later."
Zhongyuan Zhongye is a typical man who loves cars. Once he has a motorcycle, he wants to buy a sports car, and he is ambitious. He has already bought a light motorcycle and a heavy motorcycle. After receiving the bonuses and commissions during this period, he immediately became a little rich and began to pursue supercars.
Mori Ogai: ...
So your next plan is to buy a supercar, right?
Ace can't even drive a motorcycle, but he wants to drive a supercar? What a waste of money!
Ace asked in surprise, "You've been busy lately? No way? I don't think Mr. Ouwai has given you many tasks recently."
Nakahara Chuuya said sadly, "It's not the organization's mission, it's... it's Weilun. He bought me a few online courses and told me to learn them. He also said that he would come to teach me in person after he passed the college entrance examination."
Mori Ogai: [……] Your thinking has improved, Verlaine.
"Isn't that great? I also taught my brother while I was learning when I was little." Ace thought that this was a good thing to bring the brothers closer together.
"That's different. When I thought about Verlaine coming to teach me in person, my hair stood on end. I can only say that fortunately he set a high goal for college entrance exam. The possibility of passing is not high." Nakahara Chuuya sighed heavily, "He told me the day before yesterday that he and... prepared a test paper for me and will test my academic performance at the weekend. I haven't even finished reading this week's course. I hope they can make the questions simpler."
Nakahara Chuuya originally wanted to say Randou's name, but he suddenly remembered that Ace seemed to have had a fight with Randou, so he hid his name.
艾斯同情地拍了拍他的肩,雖然他文化學習上沒進行過正式的考試,只被瑪琪諾小姐口頭考察過,但如果是打架上的考試,那他就很能帶入了,畢竟爺爺每次來看他們都要把他和路飛狠狠揍一頓,然後美其名曰“這是爺爺愛的考驗”。
"We're all out having fun tonight, so let's talk about studying tomorrow. The worst that can happen is that I'll just fail the exam." Ace acted very calmly, with an arm on Nakahara Chuuya's shoulder, "Let's go, let's go find a bar to drink! Well, let's find one we haven't been to before!"
Nakahara Chuuya sighed, then laughed: "Okay, I'll listen to you and study tomorrow!"
