Chapter 102 Players and Rogues! Sit where you are...
Ango Sakaguchi, who was sitting there as punishment, suddenly realized that in addition to the interrogation team leader named Jiono Saikiku, there was another person next to him for some reason.
"Are you Sakaguchi Ango?" The young man, who had been observing him for an unknown period of time, asked curiously with a look of inquiry in his eyes.
The black-haired boy who likes to cover half of his eye. There is only one person with such a conspicuous feature.
That is Dazai Osamu, the young man known for his extraordinary intelligence, the only person with anti-supernormal abilities, and the one who always accompanies the leader.
Why is he suddenly interested in me?
"...Yes, Lord Dazai." Sakaguchi Ango, who was being stared at by this person for some reason, suppressed the complexity in his eyes and replied in a low voice.
"Hey, I've heard about you from Mr. Mori and Miss Elena, and they both praised you highly." Dazai Osamu drew out his words, his eyes scanning the seemingly ordinary boy in front of him calmly. "Although you look quite ordinary, you are quite capable."
"It's all the recognition from my superiors. I haven't done anything commendable." A few drops of sweat appeared on Ango Sakaguchi's forehead, and he became more cautious.
"Oh, you mean... your superiors don't know how to judge people?" Dazai Osamu frowned and spoke in a softer tone.
"What?! No, no, no..., that's not what I meant." Sakaguchi Ango waved his hands hurriedly, and the sweat on his forehead flowed even more happily.
"...Pfft, look how scared you are."
"Relax, Ango." Dazai stared at him for a long moment, a look that made Ango extremely uneasy. Then a smile played on his face. "I'm just curious about the person who could develop a unique document organization method. It's just a joke. You don't mind, do you?"
It turns out you were just joking. I thought you were going to kill me!
After hearing what Dazai said, Sakaguchi Ango breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his face, and returned to his silent, aloof, and refined demeanor. "No, Dazai-sama, how could that be?"
This is a complete lie, the resentment on his face is about to burst out! Dazai Osamu thought secretly, but he didn't care at all!
"Really? That's great! I knew you were a generous person, Ango!" Dazai Osamu suddenly became excited and put his arm around Sakaguchi Ango's shoulders, saying, "Then to celebrate, let's go for a drink together after get off work!"
What? When did we become friends who could drink after work? Also, is it really okay to say these things during such a serious meeting? First meeting, unable to break free, Sakaguchi Ango's pupils trembled.
"It seems that Ango-kun can't wait any longer!" Dazai Osamu looked at Ango Sakaguchi who was resisting from the inside out, and his heart was like a cat being hooked by a cat teaser, becoming more and more eager.
"No, not at all. Please allow me to refuse." Ango Sakaguchi pushed his glasses and said seriously.
Under normal circumstances, this attitude can reject almost everyone, but unfortunately, Dazai Osamu is not included.
Why did it become like this? Someone please save him! Sakaguchi Ango screamed frantically in his heart.
"You guys want to go to the bar?" As the beauty mole NPC's look of emotion turned into shock, the player who had been secretly peeking at the screen and heard about the new location he had not unlocked suddenly rushed over and shouted loudly under the shocked, confused and puzzled gazes of everyone in the conference room.
"I want to go to the bar too!"
————
How did things turn out like this.
Ango Sakaguchi sat in the corner of the Lupin bar, looking at the bandaged boy who was harassing the bartender and the little leader in a huge cloak who was sitting next to him and making trouble, his expression complicated.
Ever since the leader's earth-shattering shout in the conference room silenced everyone, the usually low-key Ango Sakaguchi instantly became the center of attention. This made Ango Sakaguchi, who had a secret identity and just wanted to live a low-key life, feel at a loss as to what to do.
What’s even more terrifying is that when he got off work, Chief Kamikami and Dazai Osamu really came to block him!
What a terrible thing it is to have a meal with your boss and your boss’s boss!
"Please give me a dishwashing liquid cocktail~~" While Ango Sakaguchi was still screaming wildly in his heart with a serious expression, Dazai Osamu's voice full of ripples came from the bar.
What kind of bar would offer something so inhumane? Sakaguchi Ango's forehead twitched.
"Sorry, our store does not provide this product." Sure enough, the bartender rejected Dazai Osamu's improper request in a principled manner.
"Then have a glass of dishwashing liquid whiskey~" Dazai Osamu said without being discouraged.
"Sorry, no."
Ango Sakaguchi, who was listening, couldn't help but lower his head.
"What? What about ceftriaxone and whiskey?"
"Sorry." The bartender apologized repeatedly and served Dazai a glass of whiskey.
Sakaguchi Ango clenched his fists in silence.
"Is it my turn now? I want a cup of delicious, super chewy fruit tea!" The player who noticed the bartender's gaze read out without even looking at the menu.
Bartender: “…” What kind of people are these!
The bartender looked embarrassed.
"Hey, you two—" Ango Sakaguchi finally couldn't contain his urge to complain. "This is just an ordinary bar. How could they have things like dish soap cocktails, dish soap whiskey, cephalexin whiskey, and super chewy fruit tea?"
"Especially that fruit tea. Isn't that a special product sold in the internet-famous shops that have appeared recently in Yokohama?!" Ango Sakaguchi shouted.
Player: “…”
Osamu Dazai: "..."
Ango Sakaguchi realized what he had said: "..."
Sakaguchi Ango's face changed slightly, and when he was about to explain, the leader interrupted his thoughts.
"Wow!" The player walked over and circled around the beauty mark NPC, exclaiming in amazement, "You actually pronounced the full name of the fruit tea! Most people would be extremely embarrassed by that."
Dazai Osamu couldn't help laughing when he saw the embarrassed Ango Sakaguchi.
"...No, please pretend I didn't say anything just now." Sakaguchi Ango was silent for a while and said weakly.
"How can we pretend nothing happened?"
"Don't worry about your lost face, Intelligence Officer." Under the NPC's shocked gaze, the player pulled him from the far corner to the center, patted his shoulder, and handed the wine list to Sakaguchi Ango. "It's my treat today, please don't hesitate!"
"What about me? Chiyo-chan? I am the one who brought Ango-kun here~" Dazai Osamu said in an emotive tone.
He raised the transparent glass in his hand. There was a round ice ball in the glass filled with whiskey. Both of them made crisp and pleasant sounds as Dazai Osamu moved.
"Everyone, everyone!" The player thought about the money he would get after the dungeon ended, waved his hand generously, and recited the line with a bit of excitement, "Everyone's consumption today will be paid by me, Miss Shenshang!"
Ango Sakaguchi looked around and found that there were only three of them besides the bartender.
Sakaguchi Ango: "..."
"Even though I haven't ordered yet, can I still count?"
A faint voice suddenly appeared behind Sakaguchi Ango, scaring him so much that he stepped back suddenly and almost fell off his chair - fortunately, someone caught him.
"Thank you..., are you... an Oda cadre?" Sakaguchi Ango was a little stunned. Leader, cadre, deputy cadre, what kind of luck is he today!
"Ah...it should be me." The red-haired man in a black coat looked at Sakaguchi Ango calmly, "Hello, Ango, I'm Oda Sakunosuke. You can just call me by my name after work. I don't mind these things..."
"Ah... hello Oda-kun, I'm Sakaguchi Ango." Sakaguchi Ango replied hesitantly.
"Oh! It's Odasaku!" The player saw the familiar red-haired NPC and waved his claws, "Of course! I'll pay for everything today!"
"Really? Thank you, Chief." Oda Sakunosuke naturally patted the little girl's head, his tone unconsciously adding a touch of kindness. "But Chief, you are still a minor, so remember not to drink."
"...Actually, Odasaku, except for you, we're all underage, right?" The player pointed at Dazai Osamu and Sakaguchi Ango, looking up and asking, "Why do you only care about me and not them?"
Oda Sakunosuke: "...Ah, so they are all minors."
Amidst the frantic nodding of the players, Oda Sakunosuke continued, "But it's different."
"Why is it different?" The player had no awareness that she was a little girl now, and was still pouting angrily.
Oda Sakunosuke said nothing, but just used his hand to measure the height difference between the few people.
Everything is implied——
Amid Dazai Osamu's merciless ridicule, the player lowered his head in shame and ordered himself a glass of milk with double sugar and ice.
Oda Sakunosuke ordered a glass of his usual distilled liquor, while Sakaguchi Ango couldn't resist the players' enthusiasm and ordered a glass of tomato juice.
"It's tomato juice, but it looks a lot like wine." Glancing at his white milk cup, the player mused, "I guess it's the color."
Oda Sakunosuke, who was sitting to the right of the player, blinked in confusion after hearing this. After thinking for a moment, he looked to his left, picked up his glass, and asked, "Want to toast?"
"So... what are we toasting to?" On the far left, Dazai Osamu also picked up his glass with great interest.
"Then... let's do it for our meeting!" The player looked at the three people, thought for a while, grabbed the wine next to the bartender and added some stuff to his own milk, and also added some to Sakaguchi Ango who was closer to Oda Sakunosuke.
"Although it's not very authentic, it can be considered wine in this way." The player nodded with satisfaction.
Dazai Osamu, who was standing by, watched the leader's miraculous operation and laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back. He then raised his glass first and said, "Then let's toast to our meeting."
"Cheers to our meeting!" It is always a voice full of energy, worthy of being a player!
"Greetings for meeting you." Oda Sakunosuke's voice was always so gentle and reassuring.
"Cheers...to our meeting." After a long time, Ango Sakaguchi raised his glass of alcoholic tomato juice a little slowly.
In the reserved space of Lupin Bar, the bartender was silently wiping the glasses.
The four of them clinked their glasses, their faces filled with joy and relaxation. This moment was captured by the player in the system's photo album, forever recorded and never deleted.
