Chapter 69 People who like me will give everything for me
Waiting for someone outside the chief's office.
Hayana Takanashi was squatting by the wall playing cat's tuck with Alice, who had pushed the door open and ran out.
Seeing that she was doing it wrong, Hayana Kotori gently reminded her, "You're doing it wrong. You should use your little finger to hook the line at the bottom."
"Well, I know!" Alice was angry because she couldn't beat the other party.
Office interior.
Nakahara Chuuya stood opposite Mori Ogai. The man sitting behind the desk had a gentle look on his face and analyzed the situation in front of him.
Mori Ogai asked the man standing across from him, his designated successor, "Chuya-kun, what do you think our Port Mafia lacks most right now?"
Thinking of this incident and the scheme he had been subjected to, Nakahara Chuuya's cobalt blue eyes darkened, and his voice was low and annoyed: "A person of intellectual talent."
"Indeed." Mori Ou curled his lips. "At this stage, I'm the only brainpower type in the Port Mafia. All your actions are carried out according to my plans, and all the directions are also pointed out by me. But ah—if something goes wrong with me, as in this incident, although the entire Port Mafia quickly stabilized, no one still had a proper battle plan, and we were at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the Armed Detective Agency."
"Our Port Mafia is far more powerful than the Armed Detective Agency, but we were still nearly defeated by the other side."
"It's my fault for not commanding well." Nakahara Chuuya knelt on one knee.
"Get up, Chuuya-kun."
Mori Ogai's voice turned serious. "You are my chosen successor, but for now, you need someone who can assist you and will never betray you."
"Hana Kotori." He said the name.
His heart sank a little, and Nakahara Chuuya felt as if his neck was shackled and he couldn't breathe. He felt heavy.
He looked up at the leader and said, "Hayasana is from our port mafia."
"Yes." Mori Ogai sighed, "She is from our port mafia."
"In my impression, there are very few people who can do this for the Port Mafia. That's why she needs to stay in the Port Mafia."
Even if she was an undercover agent, her mission was to protect the Port Mafia leader who cared about Yokohama, so her presence would definitely be beneficial. Moreover—
"Chuye-kun, do you understand what I mean?"
The digital floor-length curtains rose in an orderly manner, and the dark night sky outside the window came into view. At this height, you can see more stars in the sky than from the ground.
Mori Ogai looked at Nakahara Chuuya and suddenly found that his eyes, which had originally been bright, had now become completely dim.
Kneeling on one knee again, Nakahara Chuuya was silent for a long time before speaking: "Chief, I can't."
In his heart, Hayana is an existence that must not be touched or used. For this reason, he would rather disobey the leader's wishes and be punished than do that.
Mori Ogai was surprised by his answer: "Why refuse?"
According to his research, Chuuya should like Hayana very much.
Nakahara Chuuya clenched his fists against the cold floor, his entire body tense. His tone was almost suppressed, "Because if I do that... it would be like abandoning the last of my humanity. I would become a complete beast."
Someone who takes advantage of the people most important to him is no different from an emotionless beast.
Zhongyuanzhong also thought so.
Mori Ogai: “…”
Mori Ogai suddenly laughed out loud, looking at the young man kneeling on the ground. He couldn't control the smile in his eyes: "Is it so difficult for you to pursue someone just because I asked you to?"
Nakahara Chuuya: “……?”
He looked up in surprise: "Chasing someone?"
"I want you to pursue Hayana." Mori Ogai crossed his hands under his chin, as if something had happened to his funny bone, and then his expression softened: "If possible, I hope you two can get married."
"Chuye-kun, this is the first time I've ever said something like this to you, and it's also because I couldn't stand it any longer."
"For the sake of the organization and yourself, please make sure you catch Hayana."
"Only in this way, with me as the only advisor, can we avoid being pulled down by the rats lurking in the dark."
“…” The heat burned from the soles of his feet upwards, and Nakahara Chuuya’s throat felt a little dry as he tried to explain.
It's not just because he actually misunderstood the leader's meaning, but also because the leader is actually a fan of him and Hayana?
Standing up, Nakahara Chuuya responded seriously to Mori Ogai's expectations: "Yes, Chief."
"But I will only pursue it for personal reasons, and not put pressure on her with the survival of the organization."
This is wrong, especially since he and Hayana are now...
…
Turning the flower string in Alice's hand over, Hayana Kotori heard her ask in a voice so cute it could melt anyone's heart, "Does Hayana have someone she likes?"
She looked at Alice.
The little girl was concentrating on the flower rope in her hand, as if she was just asking casually.
“I don’t know how to define ‘like’,” she thought for a moment and replied, “But there are important things.”
"Is it the same as family?" Alice asked again.
Hayana Takanashi: "The same, but different in subtle ways."
For someone with her personality, if she really thinks about the emotion of "liking", it is not just liking, but a complex feeling made up of many factors that cannot be let go, and a variety of emotions intertwined.
It cannot be called "like" alone.
"I see." Alice said very cleverly.
Then she asked, "In that case, why don't you invite that annoying guy back?"
Takanashi Hayana shifted her gaze away from the flower rope and met the little girl's blue eyes that were still shining brightly in the dark. They were lovely eyes as blue as the sea, yet innocent and pure.
She was silent for a moment: "You don't understand."
Giving up playing with the flower rope, Alice put her hands on her hips and said, "I know everything."
"Don't look at me like this, but I know Hayana also wants him back, and wants to return to the life we had before."
Hayana Kotori put away the flower rope, her voice calm but with a hint of helplessness: "But it's dark here."
"He has left and is living well in a sunny place. I can't just think about myself and bring him back. That's selfish."
"Alice also needs to know that everyone has the right to make their own choices."
If the leader really wanted Dazai back so badly, why did he insist on sending him away in the first place?!
This was the question in her heart.
She has kept this matter in her heart for four years, but she still can't let it go. Even though she sees Dazai living a good life, she still can't let it go. After all, she cares a lot about the methods the leader used against Dazai.
Alice, however, expressed a different opinion, saying stubbornly, "I only know that people who love me will definitely give everything for me!"
Hayana Takanashi: "..."
The guy who used his special abilities really made her unable to bear it.
She asked calmly, "Who..."
Gave everything for you?
She originally wanted to ask this, but she suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Alice's words didn't sound like willful selfishness, but more like a suggestion.
[People who like me will definitely give everything for me] This sentence can be applied to Dazai and Chuuya.
She knew she would do this.
But what if it’s the other way around?
Her breathing suddenly became rapid, and Hayana Takanashi looked into Alice's innocent eyes.
The little girl, wearing a red dress as bright as a rose, smiled adorably. "Rintaro wanted Nakahara to pursue you for the organization. But he said he wouldn't do it for the organization. He only wants to follow his own heart in this matter."
"Hayasana, why is this?"
She asked innocently, "Obviously, the end result was to pursue you, but why was it so clear-cut? Why did you disobey Rintaro's orders?"
Looking at Alice in front of her, Hayana Kotori replied, "Because of what you just said."
Alice is not being willful.
But it expressed their thoughts.
Alice: No, it's the leader... He's definitely suggesting something.
Inside, he told Zhong that he wanted to pursue her, but outside, Alice said this.
Chief, what are you planning?
The thick carved wooden door was pushed open, and Alice happily ran back to find Mori Ogai. Hayato Takanashi met the eyes of Chuuya Nakahara who came out from inside.
"Are you okay?" she asked.
"Yeah." Nakahara Chuuya pressed the brim of his hat to conceal his mistake. "The leader just told me about the organization's shortages and also... asked about your relationship issues."
He extended his hand to the black-haired woman who was still squatting on the ground and said unnaturally, "Be careful, your legs will go numb if you squat for too long."
With the help of Chuuya Nakahara, she stood up and left with Hayana Takanashi.
"I thought the chief wanted to teach you how to rob and plunder," she said casually, "after all, the chief seems quite experienced."
Zhong Ye has no experience at all.
He looked very cool when he was speaking harshly to Dazai, but she didn't expect that he would actually bring her to the headquarters to meet the leader and report that he had come out of the book.
His face was slightly red, and Nakahara Chuuya was quite shy and awkward: "The leader may be able to do it in his private life, but it really can't work for me."
"It won't work?" Hayana Takanashi was curious.
Taking off his hat to cover his entire face, with the brim almost reaching it, Nakahara Chuuya muttered, "It's okay for fun, but it's absolutely not okay for real."
"Can I play?"
"Um."
…
After soaking in the hot spring to relieve fatigue, Hayana Kotori, who didn't want to go home, lay on the sofa and decided to spend the night in the office.
Even though it's Chuuya Nakahara's office sofa, it doesn't matter.
Just as she closed her eyes, she heard the slight rustling sound of young cadres working on documents late at night. Just as she was about to doze off, a picture flashed through her mind and she sat up suddenly!
In response to Nakahara Chuuya's questioning voice, she made up an excuse and quickly returned to her office.
There was no light in the dark room, but at first glance, Hayana Takanashi noticed the plush rabbit that she placed in the window and carefully cared for every day.
The rabbit stared at her with its dark eyes, and the big butterfly on its chest was very cute.
Kotori Hayato walked over to Nakadashi, held its armpits with both hands, picked up the half-human-high plush rabbit and put it on the sofa, then gently touched every part of it. There was nothing in the soft and elastic cotton.
She found nothing.
She did not give up. Recalling what happened on that day which was no longer clear in her memory, Hayana Takanashi's eyes finally fixed on the black button in the middle of the big bow on the plush rabbit's chest.
She took off the black button and turned it over to look at it.
On the back of the hollow black button is a blue gem ring glued on.
