"That's all."
Nakahara Chuuya briefly reported his work.
Three days ago, when he and Dazai went up the mountain to look for the shrine, they did not find it. This made Dazai complain that Nakahara Chuuya might have a problem with his eyes.
This leads to Chuuya Nakahara beating up Dazai again.
Moreover, the two men did not bring any subordinates with them when they went into the mountains this time.
So no one stopped it.
The results were disastrous.
The leader of that organization has not appeared yet, and there is not even any news about him. It's as if he has disappeared from the face of the earth.
It's like the legendary disappearance of a god.
After coming down the mountain, Atobe Nanako was not in a hurry to start the plot, but just strolled around casually. She had been staying in the mountain for so many days and was already bored.
As for the mafia leader of the small organization, he is probably still unconscious in a room in the shrine.
This is an important plot line later on, so we can't let it slip away.
Atobe Nanako calculated carefully.
Nanako Atobe was wearing the same dress she had worn since she traveled through time. No one dared to approach her when she walked on the street. Although she was a beauty, her clothes showed that she was a lady from a wealthy family, so people did not dare to approach her.
I can only admire this lady's beauty from afar.
Especially when in the shopping mall, Atobe Nanako stood there, not knowing where to go, thinking hard.
Perhaps at this time only children had no idea about such existence.
The children squatted cautiously in a small corner, discussing Atobe Nanako in low voices.
Nanako Atobe: "..."
After Nanako Atobe cosplayed as Nakahara Chuuya, her hearing improved. She clearly heard words like "the elder sister is so beautiful" and "the elder sister is the most beautiful person I have ever seen" and then she withdrew her attention.
It sounds a bit awkward.
Atobe Nanako is not the kind of person who can't stand others saying she is pretty. On the contrary, under the influence of her cousin, she accepts other people's compliments very naturally.
However, children's praise is different from that of adults.
Too straightforward.
What's more, Nanako Atobe also carries the coverage rate of the script.
Atobe Nanako twisted her wrist somewhat uncomfortably.
But the child who originally wanted to avoid her came up by herself. The little girl blinked her big eyes curiously and looked at Nanako Atobe: "Sister, are you standing here alone?"
After resisting the child for three seconds, Atobe Nanako answered in one second: "Yes." She glanced at the children who gathered around her with the same curious expression and said, "This is a shopping mall, be careful not to get lost."
“We’ve been here many times…”
"We are all grown up and won't get lost."
The children were chattering around Nanako Atobe.
"Oh." Atobe Nanako lowered her head and replied, "So where are your guardians, little devils?"
"He's not a devil." A kid who looked older said, "He went out to buy something. Let's wait for him here."
Atobe Nanako: "Then wait for him."
Just as Atobe Nanako was about to leave, she was stopped by a child.
The child who seemed to be younger said, "Sister, we are here to accompany you."
Atobe Nanako: ???
The child said: "My sister looked so lonely when she was standing on the road just now. I don't want her to be so lonely."
"Yes, it's obviously so beautiful."
"Will good-looking people have others to accompany them?"
"Ah... that's what the TV said."
"That's just nonsense from the TV series..."
Nanako Atobe, who didn't feel lonely at all, lowered her head and glanced at the children: "Huh? Are you kidding me?"
The children shook their heads quickly.
One of the children raised her hand and said sweetly, "Sister is so beautiful."
Atobe Nanako: …
Another child also said: "Sister is shining like the stars in the sky."
Nanako Atobe: "..."
Atobe Nanako: Completely defeated.
The ochre-haired woman had no choice but to squat down, and the blue one had slowly scanned every child. They were laughing and looking into Nanako's eyes with admiration and curiosity without any hesitation.
Atobe Nanako: Oh no, I can’t resist such a look. How hateful.
The ochre-haired girl's cheeks flushed slightly, and she looked away as if she was not used to it. Her tone was full of a lack of confidence: "Little devils, don't talk nonsense."
The children rushed to say, "No! My sister is just very beautiful."
Just as Atobe Nanako was about to speak, a voice suddenly interrupted from behind: "Hello, did the children cause you any trouble?"
Atobe Nanako turned around.
His short hair was tinged with red, and his face was expressionless. But the concern in his eyes was real. He slowly moved his gaze to the group of children behind Atobe Nanako and said, "Even though we are in a familiar shopping mall, we still can't run around." He glanced at Atobe Nanako again and said seriously, "So we can't disturb others shopping in the mall."
As soon as the man finished speaking, he was refuted by several children.
One of the children who looked younger said, "Big sister has been standing here for a long time. We came here because we were afraid that she would be bored."
The man was slightly stunned, then he came to his senses and suddenly realized: "Is that so?"
Several children nodded seriously.
Nanako Atobe watched the conversation between the adults and children and wondered how it could be such a coincidence.
——Oda Sakunosuke.
Oda Sakunosuke didn't know what Atobe Nanako was thinking. He walked to the children and thanked Atobe Nanako solemnly: "Thank you for taking care of the children."
Nanako Atobe, who did nothing, twitched her lips: "...Huh? This isn't a big deal."
There are very few people with such personalities, Atobe Nanako thought, and said, "The child is very cute... Be careful to keep a close eye on him from now on."
Oda Sakunosuke nodded and said, "Thank you for the compliment. I will support them."
He looked thoughtful as he spoke: "Miss, I seem to have seen you somewhere before. Have we met before?"
"Is this a flirtation?" As soon as Oda Sakunosuke said this, the children around him started chattering.
A child looked up at Atobe Nanako and said, "He must be trying to flirt with her. After all, she's really pretty."
Nanako Atobe: "..."
Oda Sakunosuke: “…”
Oda Sakunosuke reacted to what the children said, lowered his head in surprise and asked, "Am I flirting with you?"
"It's exactly the same as in the TV series." The children rushed to answer.
“Is that so…” Oda Sakunosuke murmured.
Atobe Nanako stopped several people from thinking wildly. She knew that Oda Sakunosuke was talking about Nakahara Chuuya. But what was the relationship between Nakahara Chuuya in this world and her?
Atobe Nanako: “Never seen it.”
Oda Sakunosuke showed a look of understanding: "Maybe I remembered it wrongly."
Children: "The pickup failed..."
"What a shame, Sakunosuke is a good person."
"And the work is super cool too!!"
After looking at Oda Sakunosuke, Atobe Nanako bent down slightly and flicked the forehead of the child who looked to be the oldest. She sneered softly, "Little boy, don't talk nonsense when you go out."
Oda Sakunosuke held the child's hand and nodded, "I'm really sorry for bothering you just now."
Atobe Nanako waved her hand: "It's up to you guys... Just watch the kids, I'm leaving now."
Oda Sakunosuke nodded.
To Oda Sakunosuke, the appearance of Atobe Nanako did not bring such a strong shock, but he just felt familiar. This made him subconsciously think of another Mafia leader, Nakahara Chuuya.
But Nakahara Nakamura is a man, and this lady is a woman.
That's definitely different.
But who knew that just after Nanako Atobe walked a distance and thought she had finally left those kids, there was a sudden sound of glass exploding in the mall. Along with a burst of gunfire and bombs, countless windows broke outwards, revealing their original shapes.
Screaming, running away. Fire shot up into the sky along with the explosion. Electric wires were broken everywhere due to the explosion, and they were flashing with a crackling sound. The lights on the ceiling of the mall began to flicker and even made strange noises.
Atobe Nanako turned her head.
Countless people wearing black clothes and holding guns rushed into the mall. They pointed their guns at everyone in the mall one by one, and the leader said, "Get down."
Then he fired a shot into the air.
Nanako Atobe: "..."
Is this a robbery in broad daylight?
Atobe Nanako started to call the system, but found that there was no response, probably because the system crashed again. She had no choice but to move herself into the store so that those people could not see her.
But this move just happened to attract the attention of the leader of the group of men in black.
Black robe with red patterns and gold thread inlaid edges.
The moment the man in black saw the ochre-haired girl turn her head slightly, he couldn't help but walk forward.
Atobe Nanako is helpless.
It seems that he has been noticed.
"You!" The man in black pointed at Nanako Atobe, "Come here and squat down."
But Atobe Nanako would never listen to him. She just stood there motionless, pretending she didn't hear him.
The man in black who was about to shoot gave up the idea the moment he saw Nanako Atobe's face.
He grasped the girl's wrist directly and pulled it towards himself, but found that the girl's position did not move at all, not even swaying.
Man in Black: ...? ?
Then increase the force.
Still not moving.
He pulled it down in disbelief, but it still didn't move, so he gritted his teeth and took a step forward. He locked the girl's slender neck with his elbow, and pressed the pistol in his other hand against the temple of the auburn-haired girl.
The scene suddenly became chaotic.
"She doesn't look like a very old girl..."
"What on earth is going on?"
"What to do with this girl?"
"If you make a sound, you'll definitely die..."
The people in the mall had already squatted in the corner under the actions of the men in black. The moment they saw the delicate-looking girl with a gun pointed at her head, they couldn't help but feel regretful.
A rich lady...
Only Nanako Atobe, who was being held at gunpoint, had a blank expression on her face.
Hijacking God?
Atobe Nanako glanced at the man in black and thought.
Who gave you the courage.
