Chapter 370: The player who strikes hard "Chiyo-chan...
"Chiyo-chan! Over here!"
"Koharu and Kyoko are over here!"
On the bustling and lively Hesheng Street, young and beautiful girls dressed in fashionable clothes stand next to the dessert shop, forming a beautiful landscape in the eyes of passers-by.
"Koharu, Kyoko! Long time no see!" The player's eyes lit up, and he happily ran up to the two and gave them a big hug.
"Chiyo-chan!" Miura Haru said happily, looking at the black-haired girl. "Koharu missed you too. I had wanted to come to Namimori Junior High School to play with you and Kyoko, but I didn't expect to hear from Mr. Tsuna that you were temporarily taking a leave of absence to return home and inherit the family business."
"Even my brother said so." Kyoko Sasagawa saw a hint of sadness in her eyes. Based on her understanding of Kamikami Chiyo, the other party was definitely not the kind of person who would disappear without even saying goodbye after a disagreement - unless he had no choice.
So, during this period of time, she and Koharu were quietly looking for news about Chiyo-chan. It was not until they saw Chiyo-chan at Namimori Junior High School that they breathed a sigh of relief and dispelled all the bad speculations in their heads.
"Come to think of it, Chiyo-chan, are you really going home to inherit the family business? It's not some secret operation again, is it?" Miura Haru suddenly leaned close to the player's ear and asked quietly. Although her voice was low, everyone present was undoubtedly a person with sharp ears and eyes, so they could hear it clearly.
Miura Haru's worry was visible to the naked eye. After all, they had just experienced a thrilling journey to the future not long ago. Even though they had returned to reality for so long, Miura Haru occasionally still had a feeling of unreality.
"Of course, the previous leader wasn't just clumsy, he was also old and dim-sighted! He even wanted to deprive me of my status as heir!" The player strongly agreed with the excuse Sawada Tsunayoshi made up for his mysterious disappearance. At least it was much more reliable than the notes they wrote to their teachers to ask for leave from school to train and prepare for the war. Besides, the player did have quite a bit of family business!
"Anyway, that guy did a lot of wrong things and offended a lot of people, which really affected the family's image. He's really not fit to continue in the position of family leader. So, I inherited his family business very smoothly! The cadres are very supportive of me!"
Although it was a mess with nothing in it, not only did the player not get any benefits, but he also spent a lot of energy cleaning up the old man's mess.
The player raised his chin. "Maybe in a while, Xiaochun will see my name printed on a store in Namimori."
"If that's the case, then we can rest assured."
Miura Haru and Sasagawa Kyoko looked at each other in tacit understanding, then turned to look at the confident black-haired girl in front of them.
After holding her warm hand and seeing her confident expression, they were sure that they had met Chiyo-chan again, and the feeling of reunion after a long separation naturally appeared on their faces.
Nakahara Chuuya fell behind, and the corners of his mouth twitched as he watched the leader talking to her friends.
The leader with dim eyesight and clumsy hands and feet should refer to the former leader of the Port Mafia. The orders issued by that guy still affect the external image of the Port Mafia. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is dim-eyed, but depriving the leader of his position as the heir to the Port Mafia...ah?
If he remembered correctly, the leader had no connection to the previous leader of the Port Mafia, right? Also, the executives were all very supportive...wasn't that because, with the exception of Sister Hongye, the current executives were all promoted by the leader?
Oda was directly invited to join by the leader; Brother Rimbaud was promoted from an ordinary member by the leader; Mr. Mori was promoted from the accompanying doctor by the leader; Verlaine... that guy relied purely on his own strength; and Dazai...
Damn it, how did that damned bluefin wretch get promoted to officer so quickly? He's certainly quite capable... but he only joined the Port Mafia a short while before me! And now, every time I see him, I have to suffer because of this!
There is only one cadre position left among the seven, and he is the only one among those who have received the ring who has not been promoted. When will he be able to make enough contributions to be promoted to a cadre in a natural way?
Zhongyuan Zhongye thought about it and felt that given the recent inexplicable turbulent situation, this matter should not be far away, so he calmed down his restless heart and waited for development.
Just as Nakahara Chuuya was lost in thought, Miura Haru and Sasagawa Kyoko also successfully contacted Chrom and informed him of their current location.
…
…
"Okay, that's all." Sasagawa Kyoko hung up the phone and smiled at the two curious heads beside her. "Chulome-chan is on her way. We just need to wait here for a while."
"It's a bit strange though... She was a little hesitant at first, but when she heard Chiyo-chan would be coming, she quickly agreed," Kyoko said. "It went much more smoothly than when we invited her yesterday."
"Eh? Is that so?" Miura Haru touched his chin, "Ah! I know, it must be that Chrom hasn't seen Chiyo-chan for a long time! Chrom-chan is very shy~"
"But Chiyo-chan and Chloe-chan are so close! Koharu's going to be jealous!"
Oops, jealousy is a big deal!
"I like Xiaochun too!" the player immediately shouted.
"I like Chiyo-chan too!"
"This dessert shop in front is pretty good. How about we go in and order something first?" After successfully resolving a friend's crisis, the player chose a dessert shop as the next place to relax, and bought some food for Chrom who would arrive soon.
"I remember that Chrom seemed to like eating popcorn very much?" The player said as if reminiscing.
"That's right." Miura Haru nodded immediately, "Chulome-chan prefers sweets and doesn't really like greasy food."
"This was discovered secretly by Koharu!" Miura Haru winked playfully and made a scissors hand gesture proudly.
"How thoughtful—" the player gave a thumbs-up, then said with a grin, "But don't Koharu and Kyoko like desserts?"
"Of course I like this." Sasagawa Kyoko covered her mouth and smiled, "Otherwise, Xiaochun and I wouldn't have a special cake day."
"Hehe, so I prepared a gift for you!" The player put his hands on his hips, his smile becoming even more proud. "And it's a gift that's sure to be very popular!"
“Chuuya—”
**
Hearing the leader's call, Nakahara Chuuya lowered his top hat and walked over with the large bento prepared by Meowji.
"First... ahem, Miss." Nakahara Chuuya said in a low voice.
The player, who was being closely watched by Miura Haru and Sasagawa Kyoko, remained calm and took the large bento. He then introduced, "This is my bodyguard—Nakahara Chuuya."
"Ever since I became the head of the family, the business has flourished, but there's always some unfriendly competition in the industry." The player was the first to open the door and then explained, "So this time, my family assigned me a powerful bodyguard!"
"He's also my reliable family member! He's my younger brother!"
The successor to the leader's family, now his younger brother, Nakahara Chuuya: "..."
Should we get used to the leader's sudden actions? His character seems to be getting better and better.
"So he's Chiyo-chan's younger brother..." Miura Haru glanced at the heights of the two secretly, and thought somewhat impolitely that Chiyo-chan and this Nakahara Chuuya-kun were siblings, no wonder they were both short.
"Eh? But... if he's a younger brother, why is Chiyo-chan's last name different from Nakahara-kun's?" Compared to Miura Haru who accepted it quickly, Sasagawa Kyoko raised her own doubts.
"Oh, that's because we were all adopted," the player said. "Chūya and I have two older brothers, so the four of us are half-siblings!"
No one can stop players from improvising!
"Puff——" Zhong Yuanzhong, who tried to suppress his shock, couldn't help but spit out a large mouthful of water.
These two brothers, could they be referring to Brother Rimbaud and that guy Verlaine? He doesn't want to call that guy brother!
"What's wrong with Nakahara-kun?" Sasagawa Kyoko asked, handing him a tissue in a panic, "Did you choke?"
Zhong Yuanzhong didn't say anything, just shook his head vigorously.
"Due to family conflicts, Chuuya and one of his brothers don't get along very well, and their relationship is a bit strained." The player's face was heavy as he whispered into Koharu and Kyoko's ears, "As the third child caught between them, I'm in a very difficult position."
"So that's how it is... I'm sorry, Nakahara-kun, for mentioning your sad story!" Kyoko Sasagawa stood up and apologized solemnly.
"Ahem, no, it's nothing..." Nakahara Chuuya put down the tissue and was about to say something when he heard a clear and pleasant doorbell ring.
The purple hair tied into a pineapple shape is Chrom.
————————
Chrom's arrival was supposed to be a happy thing, but the panic on her face made the player's cheerful expression disappear instantly.
Using a blind spot, he led Chrom to the hidden seat he had reserved earlier. Under the worried gazes of several people, the player whispered, "What happened, Chrom?"
"...Miss Aurora, it seems someone is following me." Chrom pursed his lips and whispered, "The illusionist... I don't know the exact location..."
What? !
"Follow... follow? Someone is actually following Chrom secretly?!" Miura Haru and Sasagawa Kyoko subconsciously lowered their voices, but their expressions were not very good.
The player stroked his chin, lost in thought.
How could someone in Namimori, a place under Hibari Kyoya's shadow, actually follow Chrom in plain sight? And it was an illusionist whose location she couldn't even figure out?
Could it be that he is a powerful and perverted illusionist who was attracted by the Vongola inheritance ceremony?
You know, after receiving training with the illusion device left by Mammon, Chrom's strength has greatly improved and she has long since gotten rid of the hat of a beginner. In addition, with Rokudo Mukuro feeding her experience books from time to time and her own powerful talents, she is not a target that an ordinary illusionist can track.
This illusionist who was tracking Chrom... The player subconsciously expanded the map and saw a clear red dot about 100 meters away from the dessert shop.
"Don't worry. Even though he's an illusionist, there's only one enemy, so he's easy to catch." The player patted Chrom's shoulder. "I think you should have confidence in me."
Otherwise, she wouldn't have quickly accepted Kyoko's invitation after knowing that the player would attend the party.
"...Yeah!" Chrom was silent for a while and nodded vigorously.
The player smiled.
"Chuya."
"Chief, I'm here." Nakahara Chuuya's expression froze and he responded solemnly.
"Are you wearing the gift I gave you?"
"Oh, of course."
"Very good." The player nodded slightly and turned his tilted head back.
"With me as the center, the enemy number is one, and their current location is 100 meters due north. You will act as bait and attack from the northeast. There is no need to conceal your strength. I will be the main attacker."
"For the illusionist who is as illusive as mist, there is only one thing we need to do, and that is..."
"One strike kills."
