Chapter 54: Special Attack on the Lady "She is a good child."...
Congressman Fujita could never have imagined that an unknown waiter would dare to say such words to him.
"You don't know who I am?" There were others around, so he forced himself to remain patient and maintain his composure. "I'm not the kind of man Mrs. Kawasaki invited here... that kind of man. My last name is Fujita. What are you doing?!"
"You barged in without an invitation. You should be asked to leave immediately." Chaomu lifted him onto his shoulder with one hand and walked out like a lumberjack carrying a log. "Don't mention your last name is Fujita. Even if you say you're Qin Shi Huang, it won't work—please leave."
"You... Ugh!"
Before Councilman Fujita could react, he was thrown sideways out of the banquet hall like a sack. The door slammed shut, completely locking him out.
"What kind of staff are those that Sachiko hires...just wait to be laid off!"
From outside the door, she could faintly hear the old man's incompetent and furious scolding, which he was still trying to maintain in an aristocratic manner. Chaomu was indifferent to it: she was just a temporary worker anyway, not on the payroll, so this kind of threat would have less effect on her than declaring the abolition of the use of trash cans in the Fujita family.
Upstairs, Zhu Xingda, who had just walked around, twitched his eyes slightly. Before he could make any comments in his mind, the task completion prompt that popped up in front of him interrupted his complaints.
[Side Quest - Lost Treasure (Completed)]
[Sachiko Shimizu finally found the most precious thing in her girlhood—the truly precious friendship that had been thrown into the trash can wrapped in rosy false love.]
……never mind.
The cooperation between Councillor Fujita and the Shimizu and Kawasaki families broke down, and he failed to gain entry, which also prevented him from making remarks that were detrimental to the organization. In a sense, both of his tasks were accomplished.
[Pet has received special rewards: Affinity towards the Lady + Owner Trust +5 Canned Tuna x1]
A beautifully packaged can of food fell from thin air into his palm. Zhu Xingda lowered his eyes and saw a cute raccoon paw printed on the packaging. This suddenly appearing product even had an ingredient label on the back: [Fresh tuna, pet hair tonic]...
Although he had been mentally prepared, this supernatural phenomenon was still quite difficult to understand... and it also made people feel curious unconsciously.
The long cat's tail curled up behind it, swaying leisurely. The black-haired sniper put away the cat food can with one hand and disappeared back into the night. He lowered his head and sent a message: [To Gin: Mission accomplished, target has left the banquet hall.]
At the same time, the reward for completing the task popped up in front of Chaomu.
[Mission Reward Obtained: Pet Intimacy ++ Raccoon Coin +50]
[Super rare title item: Friend of the Ladies (When worn, wealthy older ladies' favorability towards the player increases significantly)]
[Congratulations to player Beihua Town for raising their reputation level! ]
[Reputation Level 2: Your fame has grown within a small circle, and some people who have never seen you have heard of you.]
The Raccoon Coins awarded as a mission reward were not actually very generous, but the players’ eyes still lit up.
It's simple, the title of "Friend of Ladies" is too important to her - she will finally not have her business taken away by the bad guys because of her charm!
She put on the title with satisfaction, and after returning to the banquet hall, she deliberately turned around several times in front of Amuro Toru.
The latter was chatting with Mrs. Fujita, and after being led around by her for several times, she looked at her in confusion. Finally, she kindly asked sincerely, "What's wrong? Can't you take off your raccoon ear headband? Do you need my help?"
Chaomu: “……?”
She stood on tiptoe, moved closer to him, and asked seriously, "Don't you think there's something different about me? I've become..."
"You've gone from an overly lively raccoon who seemed to want to challenge the world to a raccoon who needs someone to scratch your itch." Amuro Toru stared at the furry ears that stood up and trembled on her head for a while, and finally couldn't help but reach out and pinch one of the soft pointed ears. "Why do your ears look so realistic? Did Mrs. Kawasaki custom-make them for you?"
——Because the gift from Mrs. Kawasaki became an appearance that better fits the player's own settings, the raccoon ear headband became the player's own real ears, and the tail also became the original one.
An electric current seemed to flow through the places he touched. The raccoon, whose ears were pinched, sprang up and jumped out of his hand, taking three steps back.
"...A sneak attack... He's truly that evil little black-faced guy." Chaomu covered his ears, clicked his tongue warily, and turned his face away, ignoring him. "And he has no taste..."
However, this title is a special attack against noble ladies after all, and Black Face is not a noble lady, so it is normal that it does not work on him...
She quickly convinced herself, turned around and left while Xiao Hei Lian was looking at her with a face full of question marks, and went to find Mrs. Kawasaki to take credit, wagging her tail.
"Did you really say that to him?" After listening to her report on the whole process of driving out Councillor Fujita, Mrs. Kawasaki laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back. "And you just threw that old guy out? You're such a good kid, little Chaomu. I knew you were a good kid—"
"This child is really good. Now I understand why you, Miya, are so optimistic about her." Mrs. Fujita was also in a good mood. She rubbed her head with a smile and said, "Good girl, good girl, come to work at your sister's house tomorrow, okay?"
Even Ms. Shimizu, who usually preferred Amuro Toru, couldn't help but secretly reach out her hand when she saw the pair of swaying triangular ears. "I'll leave the cleaning work after the party tonight to you too... Can I triple the overtime pay?"
Of course that’s totally fine!
Chaomu was overjoyed, but he hadn't forgotten his foster father who had come to help him. He slipped over and pulled the young man with cat eyes to his side: "And Midorikawa-kun also wants to find a job..."
She still remembered that Midorikawa Jing obviously came from a poor family and was so poor that he was forced to go into the entertainment industry. Even when he was about to become rich, he didn't forget to help his adoptive father. She quietly poked him in the side and whispered, "Actually, doing ordinary cleaning can make a lot of money, Midorikawa-kun. If you need money urgently, I can give it to you first. There's no need to force yourself to do something you don't want to do."
Anyway, she has plenty of game currency now, so she should be able to support her godfather - after paying her salary, she will also treat Hagiwara-kun and Matsuda-kun to dinner!
"Maybe I'll have to wear something similar... like a maid outfit or something," she thought for a moment as the ladies looked at her with smiles on their faces, then added quietly, "The hourly rate for cleaning dressed as a bunny-eared butler is several times higher than that of a regular housekeeper."
The soft ear hair brushed across his chin, and Midorikawa Jing was pulled by her arm, feeling both amused and helpless, and felt his heart was also wrapped in her furry kindness.
She treated him so well, yet he took advantage of her kindness...
A slight feeling of guilt was quickly overwhelmed by professional ethics. His mission with Councillor Fujita wasn't over yet, and staying on was a necessary part of his job. He breathed a sigh of relief, ultimately accepting her offer and the job.
After achieving several goals at once, Chaomu felt that he was a genius player.
She made a lot of money by sweeping the trash cans at night. She sang a song with satisfaction, swept the banquet hall with the vacuum cleaner, and directed Mimi to clean upstairs. She didn't realize that in the corner she didn't notice, her good godfather and her "arch-enemy" Xiao Black Face were secretly talking.
"Judging from Mrs. Fujita's expression, Councillor Fujita's days ahead are likely to be tough... The 'Company' will also be more vigilant towards him." Amuro Toru, who had already sent the intelligence to the Public Security Bureau and the Organization, removed his dog ears, his blond hair still reeking of champagne. "With everything going wrong, the probability of him 'cheating' has increased significantly. If he truly has the intention of betraying his 'original wife,' we should act before anyone else does..."
Providing protection and obtaining intelligence required early preparation. Fujita's own actions were not clean, so cooperating with the public security was a last resort. The Shimizu family was backed by other communist forces, and his wife, Nakamura Yuri, had connections with the Nakamura family. He had previously considered collaborating with the Kawasaki family, but now, all three avenues had been blocked by his own hands.
"He doesn't have many other options...those 'companies' might not even take him on." Midorikawa Jing was finally able to put on his shirt and straighten his tie, covering his chest and waist. "There aren't many 'companies' that can compete with my 'former company's' business. Most of these 'companies' don't focus their main activities on the mainland..."
"What he has on hand must be quite tempting, otherwise the 'company' wouldn't be pursuing him so relentlessly." Amuro Toru also changed his clothes and fixed his hair in front of the mirror, a glint in his eyes. "But he seems to have entrusted the truly important things to a special person for safekeeping, and didn't leave them at the Fujita family. All this time, I've only come into contact with a little bit of the surface..."
Midorikawa tilted his head slightly. "My colleagues also mentioned that Fujita seems to have hired a very experienced bodyguard. It's because he's so skilled and impossible to catch, that the higher-ups had to settle for a second-best option and let us attack from the side."
When Vodka mentioned it, he was a little shocked: after all, there was someone who could make the organization's Top Killer and the big brother of the action team, Gin, personally follow him and still not find his whereabouts. The ability of that person... or that team is obviously not to be underestimated.
Amuro Toru had also heard his colleagues in the intelligence team mention this matter, jokingly mocking the incompetence of the operations team. But even so, the members of the organization were well aware of Gin's abilities, and while they joked, they also prayed that this huge task that even Gin couldn't handle wouldn't fall on them.
The situation is quite chaotic, but as a public security elite, Toru Amuro is naturally not afraid of difficulties.
"Whoever that person is, he clearly doesn't intend to provide Fujita with perfect protection. Fujita will certainly not give up the opportunity to seek protection from other organizations." He glanced at the schedule. "There's also a cocktail party being hosted by several celebrities..."
"I'll keep an eye on Mrs. Fujita and Ms. Shimizu." Midorikawa Kei understood his meaning almost immediately due to their tacit understanding. He said, "Just follow up on the other options. Leave this to me."
"Well, please," the name he wanted to call out out of habit was twisted in his mouth, but it still didn't stop Amuro from revealing a relaxed smile.
He patted You Xunran's shoulder. He heard the roar of the vacuum cleaner outside, and then he remembered the problem that had troubled him before. He frowned and said, "Speaking of which... are you familiar with that girl? I always feel that her behavior is a little suspicious..."
Would an average person really work so hard for a housekeeping job? Anyway, Toru Amuro has ulterior motives. Plus, her path overlaps with both his and Hiro's, making things even more complicated.
"...I guess... I'm quite familiar with you." Thinking of their previous contact, Midorikawa Jing's eyes became softer under the warm yellow light.
"Don't worry, she's a good child." Facing You Xunran's strange gaze, he coughed lightly and said seriously, "Although her ideas may be a little strange... but Chaomu is really a kind and good person."
Toru Amuro: "…………"
He always felt that these words sounded familiar, as if he had heard them somewhere just now... Oh yes, Mrs. Kawasaki and Mrs. Fujita seemed to have praised her in this way when they learned that Asami had thrown Councilman Fujita out. This kind of praise undoubtedly carried a subtle filter and preference.
Was his childhood also like those ladies, blinded by the cute raccoon tail?

The author has something to say: Little Black Face: Is this true or not...
I will continue writing, but I probably won’t be able to stay up all night. I will go to bed on time and continue tomorrow.
While adjusting my work and rest schedule, I feel like my concentration will become more and more scattered if I continue to endure... I should feel more energetic after adjusting.
