Chapter 145 Hound "Hmm?" Ring...
"Um?"
Suzuki Kawa looked down at the rose in his breast pocket. The system scanned it and said it was an ordinary flower.
He reached out and took the flower off, then casually stuffed it into his coat pocket. It was quite conspicuous in the chest pocket.
"It seems like you all think I like roses. How strange." Suzuki Kawa raised his eyes and looked at Dazai Osamu who was walking towards him.
"Because Ah Chuan's preference for roses is so obvious, if it's not just me who thinks so, then it's not my fault."
Dazai Osamu stood in front of him and turned to look at the building after the explosion. It was only a local explosion, and the entire building was still intact. The big hole in the wall no longer showed any signs of being cut.
Suzuki Chuan also took a look, but soon he walked to the side of the road with his hands in his pockets and said lazily, "Stand in the middle of the road. Be careful not to get hit by a car."
"Is this the way to commit suicide, to be hit by a car? Ah... it's still too painful and not pretty." Dazai Osamu sighed behind him.
This area is close to the sea, which means it's not far from [GA]'s headquarters.
When Suzuki Kawa was thinking about whether to ask someone to pick him up, he thought it would be better to walk back by himself.
Turn right at the intersection ahead and walk about a hundred meters, and you will reach the highway along the seaside, which is only two buildings away. There are still not many people, but you can see some shops.
The explosion here obviously did not affect these shops. Perhaps explosions are not uncommon in Yokohama.
Dazai Osamu followed behind him and talked about a hundred ways to commit suicide, and finally proposed the current favorite method of suicide - jumping into a river.
Suzuki Chuan tilted his head: "It would be ugly to be soaked into a giant."
"Yes." The other party said with a smile.
System: [There's a coffee shop in front of you, not many people there.]
Suzuki Kawa looked up and saw a small sign sticking out in front of him. There was a dim light on it and some blurry English letters engraved on the sign.
The aroma of coffee beans wafts over.
A minute later, two people were sitting in the corner of a coffee shop. There was only a yellow floor lamp in the shop, and dim corners could be seen everywhere. The whole room was filled with the aroma of coffee beans. The boss was nowhere to be seen, and there were only two waiters at the counter.
One of the waiters came over with the order sheet and asked them with a smile what they needed.
Suzuki Chuan glanced at the menu and said, "Would you like dessert?"
This shop seemed to have been there when he was in elementary school, but he was not interested in coffee at that time and never came here. It is amazing that it has survived all these years despite its remote location.
Dazai Osamu ordered a bunch of drinks without hesitation, while Suzuki Kawa ordered a matcha latte.
"Didn't Chihaya pack a portion for you? Can you drink two cups of coffee?" Dazai Osamu looked at him.
The waiter left with the order form.
Suzuki Chuan thought about it and it seemed to be true. "Ah... really? It's okay, I can just ask someone else to drink it for me later."
If I drink two glasses, I might not be able to sleep tonight.
"I haven't seen you for so long. You're very different from before." Dazai Osamu was sitting on the dark side. Without the light, his face looked a little gloomy.
Suzuki Chuan looked up. In this environment, his expression was less sharp, and he looked closer to his youth. He smiled and said, "A lot of people say so. My family, my friends, and even people I don't know very well, all say that I've changed a lot."
The waiter quickly brought the coffee and placed it in front of Suzukikawa.
He reached out and touched the wall of the cup. It was at the right temperature. The richness of the coffee was dispersed by the milk and mixed with the slightly astringent fragrance of matcha, forming a strange taste. Some people found it hard to accept, while others couldn't let it go.
The young leader picked up his coffee, looked up at Dazai Osamu and smiled: "Actually, you too."
He took a sip and the taste was different from what he drank during the Taisho period. Because the technology was more mature, the taste was much better than then. However, the latte during the Taisho period was more bitter, the aroma of coffee was richer, and the layers of matcha were very clear.
Placing the cup back on the coaster, he thought about how he could come to this shop more often in the future.
Then he looked up and said, "You actually changed jobs. No wonder it was Chuuya who answered the phone last time. Mr. Mori is willing to let go."
Dazai Osamu did not answer, but continued to ask: "What about you?"
"Me? I just inherited the family business. The organization needs me... to carry it forward, right?"
"Carry forward and develop," Dazai Osamu smiled. This word is really a bit subtle.
He said, "You mean the ammunition you have in your organization that could destroy the entire Yokohama?"
The old friend opposite was also laughing.
The atmosphere was tense for a moment, but Suzuki Kawa quickly continued, "As long as everyone buys my ammunition, you don't have to worry about this problem. It's a pity that Mr. Mori doesn't seem to be willing to buy it. Alas."
He sighed and said in distress, "Mr. Mori and I said Yokohama is too peaceful and sales haven't been very good recently. What do you think, Dazai?"
"Peace in Yokohama is a good thing for Chihaya, right?" Dazai Osamu smiled, as if reminding Suzuki Kawa that if he wanted to do anything, he would have to consider the fact that his sister was a Yokohama councilor.
"Ha, you're right."
Suzuki Chuan stirred the coffee with a small spoon and said with a smile, "I can't cause her too much trouble. I don't want to get beaten. But I'm curious about one thing. Why do you all think I want to turn Yokohama upside down?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone in his pocket vibrated. Dazai watched him take out his phone and answered it.
"What's the matter?" he asked lazily.
He responded to what was said on the other end, then said, "There's no rush these days. Oh, and for the sake of peace in Yokohama, keep an eye on Douma and don't let him run around."
Dazai Osamu had very good hearing. The voice of the person speaking over there suddenly became amplified, and even though it was a little distorted, it did not affect his ability to hear.
"How could you think of me like this, sir?" The voice drooped, seeming to be extremely aggrieved.
Suzuki Chuan just perfunctorily said to him: "I know, I will go back later."
After hanging up the phone, he looked at Dazai Osamu, smiled, and said, "I'm going to go home now. Please help yourself. It would be nice to pack up the leftovers and bring them back for everyone."
After saying that, he stood up, walked to the counter, paid the bill, opened the door and left.
The waiter had just started serving the first dessert.
Dazai Osamu lowered his eyes and looked at the dessert in front of him that was emitting the aroma of frosting, and his mind was quickly thinking about the meaning of Suzuki Kawa's words.
The person next to Suzuki Kawa said that he was not interested in tigers and humans, nor in "books". Based on his understanding of Suzuki Kawa, the other party did not have any regrets that had to be changed by "books". In fact, Suzuki Kawa had almost everything going smoothly from birth to now.
Apart from the brief six months he spent studying at a technical high school in Tokyo, there is no information about him. After that, he was injured and fell into a deep sleep.
Dazai Osamu narrowed his eyes. He felt that he needed to investigate what happened during the six-month period when there was no information about Suzuki Kawa.
He had met the other person not long before Suzuki Kawakami went to technical high school. Although it was just a brief chat, there was nothing unusual about the other person. He even proudly said that he had defeated the bad guys around him in the first week after going to the new school.
Including the more than one year of sleep, in less than two years at most, Suzuki Kawa has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Rather than saying that he took over the position of [GA] leader as soon as he woke up, it would be more accurate to say that this position, and he himself, had been waiting for a long time. [GA] urgently needed a stepping stone for transformation, and he needed a way to prove his identity.
Dazai Osamu supported his head with his hands, tapped his temples with his fingers, and his eyes changed several times.
He remembered again what Suzuki Chihaya had said to him.
——He won’t take anything that is not his.
The second dessert was served. Dazai Osamu picked up the fork and poked the strawberry on it. Because of his strength, the strawberry was poked into the cream and was covered by a layer of squeezed cream around it.
He stared at the strawberry for a long time, then suddenly picked up the strawberry with a fork and put it into his mouth.
The rich strawberry juice overflowed his mouth, the sour taste stimulating his nerves, and his iris-colored eyes were almost completely shrouded in darkness because of the movement of his head hanging down.
He chewed the fruit pulp and swallowed it, then put down the metal fork and a smile slowly appeared on his face.
Perhaps, both he and others were taking things for granted.
Those cruel and unreasonable practices.
For Suzuki Kawa, it is the most convenient and reasonable existence.
From the time he reappeared to now, he has experienced no less than ten temptations. Except for the organization's external expansion, he has never taken the initiative to provoke the forces of superpowers, and he has accepted all the temptations.
——He is brewing a huge conspiracy.
This is the first impression these actions give to others.
Even... Suzuki Chihaya's words were intentionally or unintentionally leading in this direction.
Dazai Osamu narrowed his eyes. Why? Even Suzuki Chihaya is like this.
He rarely feels uncertain about his own reasoning, but as Suzuki Kawa said, there is no need to rush now. The beginning of every story is always about the coming storm.
The bandaged young man stood up and smiled at the waiter at the counter, "Please pack it up."
Not far from the cafe is the port of [GA]. It was not exclusive to them before, but now it belongs completely to Suzuki River.
Almost all day long, people were loading and unloading cargo, and ships were leaving and entering the port.
The chaos in the Edward family in the UK required a large amount of ammunition support. The goods stored within the [GA] organization were shipped back to the UK, and the family's military factories were completely shut down.
Suzuki Kawa stood in front of the office window, looking at the sea in Yokohama. The sea was sparkling in the moonlight, and the waves could be vaguely seen rising and falling.
He lit a cigarette and thought about the contents of the page he had seen tonight.
System: [That's a "book," but it's just cut pages.]
"Oh." Suzuki Kawa sighed.
"I don't understand," he spread his hands. "Even though I've grown up a lot, why do people look at me like I'm a villain?"
Suzuki Chuan thought it was the system's fault: "I told you not to make my body so old a long time ago. Now it's alright, give me back my 18-year-old body!"
System: [Alright, alright, if I really give it back to you now, I'll be completely screwed.]
Suzuki Chuan took out a small mirror, looked at his face, and said angrily: "How can they say such cruel words to my handsome face that makes people angry!"
System: [Stop talking! I'm about to vomit.]
Is there a possibility, seriously, that when you were the Ghost King, you had a villain filter?
Suzuki Chuan paused while looking in the mirror, put out his cigarette, thought for a moment, and said seriously, "Nonsense, I didn't do anything bad."
After saying that, he thought again: "You said that the tiger-man is similar to Tanjiro, so I won't have to fight the tiger-man later, right? Is he powerful?"
System: [You can't be beaten to death, so why are you afraid?]
Suzuki Kawa said "Oh" and turned to walk towards his desk. He still had some work to do today.
The situation in Europe was not good. The ammunition reserves in [GA] were almost used up, and many of the psychics around Edward were killed or injured. Suzuki Kawa looked at the information on the screen. After a moment, he leaned over and took out a dozen documents and flipped through them.
"Send those people to Europe." He leaned back in his chair and stared at the intricately patterned ceiling.
He often did his homework in this office when he was a child.
The civil strife within the Edward family is about to turn into a war among superpowers.
By that time, the government will definitely take action, and the situation will become even more chaotic.
System: [Are you sure? By then, it won't just be your annoying relatives who will be involved.]
"I heard that there is a most powerful team of psychics in the country, called Hounds."
The system was stunned: [You mean... wait, let me check.]
The system from the higher-dimensional space can invade any network with any authority in the world and steal information without leaving any trace. The processing system has been upgraded several times during this long period of time, and it only takes less than a minute to obtain the information that Suzuki Kawa wants.
Its electronic voice sounded somewhat cold: [Yes, the government has also taken notice of the Edward family's internal strife, but is still looking for an opportunity.]
Suzuki Chuan smiled and said, "That's fine. Let's do it tomorrow. We'll send a plane to take them over tomorrow. Once we take action, they'll definitely get the news. Then... I'm afraid we'll run into each other."
He lowered his eyes and turned off the computer, with no smile in his eyes.
