Chapter 96 Crisis at the Food Street! Walking in preparation...
On the way to the overseeing work, the player looked at the curly-haired boy eagerly approaching a dead tree not far away and couldn't help but ask, "O-Sensei, what's going on with this thing you mentioned about Chuuya-kun?"
After following Dazai Osamu out of the port building, the player flipped through the records and only found:
[Chuuya Nakahara joins your organization (temporary version) - two months]
The player only found this piece of news!
What exactly happened this week?
"That was a lie to Mr. Mori, Chiyo-chan. Did you forget that you didn't even announce that the dwarf was just a temporary worker who joined the Port Mafia?"
"A greedy guy like Mr. Mori probably already thinks the dwarf is a member of the port mafia."
After trying to slip away again and being pulled back by the players, Dazai Osamu curled his lips and replied in a blase manner, "However, judging by the increasingly obvious conflict between the dwarf and those greedy sheep, it's only a matter of time before the dwarf joins the Port Mafia."
"Princess Xiaoye is a loyal person, so she should be well-connected in the mafia, so it's no big deal...right?" Because Zhongyuan Zhongye was not like Tiao Ye Caiju, he was just a temporary worker for two months, so the player who completely forgot that he had to explain this matter to his own faction stuck out his tongue guiltily.
However, after hearing what Dazai Osamu said, the players perked up again.
"Contradiction? What kind of contradiction?" the player pricked up his ears and asked, "Is Princess Xiaoye finally going to fall from grace?"
[Of course there's no problem. Rather, the fact that there's no problem is the biggest problem.]
"You're right to think so..." Dazai Osamu's eyes flickered as he spoke sarcastically, "Those little lambs are just a bunch of vampires that can never be fed enough, yet only that little dwarf treats them like treasures."
"Hey, you lifeless bluefin tuna, what bad things are you saying about me behind my back?" A sudden foot kicked the listless Dazai Osamu away. Nakahara Chuuya stepped on Dazai Osamu's back and said with an unhappy look on his face.
"It looks like you haven't grown taller, Princess Xiaoye." The player felt warm in his heart as he looked at Chuuya Nakahara's seemingly fixed height.
"Don't always call people nicknames." Nakahara Chuuya retorted skillfully.
"How dare you say that to me? You're still the same height, or rather, you've gotten shorter, Kamikami." Nakahara Chuuya replied without even looking up. He subconsciously glanced at the source of the voice, a bit stunned. "Kami... Kamikami? Are you Kamikami Chiyo?"
"Why have you become so short?" Nakahara Chuuya's straightforward words touched upon the only dissatisfaction of the player after becoming a child.
"Ah, that's me, right? I've been rejuvenated!" The player spun around and said with a bright smile, "Now I'm a super cute little girl, Princess Xiaoye!"
Players are going to call you by your nickname, what can you do to them?
"You... forget it." There were a few more wrinkles on Nakahara Chuuya's forehead, but looking at his creditor who was about one meter tall and had big round eyes, he took a deep breath and managed to hold back.
"...I say, can you two please take care of me on the ground?" Dazai Osamu stretched out a trembling hand.
"Oops, sorry." The player suddenly stopped Dazai Osamu and stunned him.
"I forgot Dazai was sleeping on the floor. Look what happened to you, haha."
Dazai Osamu looked at Kamijou Chiyo with resentment and puffed up his cheeks.
Nakahara Chuuya, who had never seen Dazai Osamu act so pretentiously since the day he met him, couldn't help but shudder. He quickly elbowed him and said unhappily, "You bastard Mackerel, can you be more normal?"
Dazai Osamu raised his chin, glanced at his head with disdain, and snorted, "Hmph, a mere slug. How dare a temporary worker like you say that to me?"
"What? You, a ruthless mafia, what kind of twisted mood do you have in mind to speak about me?" Nakahara Chuuya's emotions were easily provoked by Dazai Osamu.
When people get angry, they tend to forget things - for example, why they chose to work as a temporary worker.
Looking at the two people arguing, the player grabbed one of them with each hand and said solemnly, "Stop arguing, you are both my wings!"
But the player always had a strange feeling in her heart - she always felt that she should not be the mediator, but the one who provoked the argument.
Is it an illusion?
The two people were so choked by the words of their leader/creditor that they didn't know what to say. Their expressions twisted for a moment, and they stopped talking almost at the same time.
"Hmm, it seems I still have a solution." Seeing that the two had stopped arguing, the player naturally put those little worries behind him. After tearing the two apart, the player said to Princess Xiaoye, "Actually, we just stopped by to see how the project is going."
"I heard from Elena that there was an orange-haired boy who helped a lot." The player said with a smile as he looked at the orange-haired NPC whose expression changed in a second.
"Ahem... ahem, so that's how it is. The foundation and everything is already built, and the basic planning for this area is almost complete." Nakahara Chuuya led them inside, complaining, "I just don't know who drew those blueprints. I really can't understand them, so it delayed the start of construction for a long time."
After listening to Chuuya Nakahara's complaints, Dazai Osamu couldn't help laughing, which attracted a strange glance from the leader in front.
Player: "...Is it possible that I drew that?"
Nakahara Chuuya instantly understood why Dazai Osamu behaved like that, "...Ahem, sorry."
"It's actually still very vivid, just a little bit... sloppy." The boy looked at the black-haired girl's lost expression and tried to remedy the situation, but the effect was hard to say.
——————
In this awkward atmosphere, the player followed Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuuya to the central area where the workers have invested the most energy recently, which is also the largest store on the "One-stop Food" street - the "Special Ingredients" food store.
Of course, this name is only temporary. Otherwise, hanging up this sign would make the player look too tasteless - this is what the player who has no confidence in naming himself thinks confidently.
"Huh? Why are there so many people there?" The player looked at his phone and asked in confusion, "Is it break time now?"
If so, wouldn't it be better for players to avoid him first? After all, who likes to see a big boss during a break?
Dazai Osamu noticed something unusual. His unbandaged eye gazed at the gathering area in the distance, and he said frivolously, "It seems something unexpected has occurred under the dwarf's management."
The arrival of the players was quickly noticed by the workers.
The bald strong man in the lead seemed to know Zhongyuan Chuuya, so he came over and said hello.
"Good afternoon, Lord Nakahara!" The bald strong man was 1.8 meters tall, a height that made Nakahara Chuuya and the players envious. At this time, he touched his bald head that was rubbed shiny and greeted him a little awkwardly.
"Oh, it's Tanie. What brings you here?" Although it has only been a week, Nakahara Chuuya is very familiar with the workers assigned to him by the port mafia - the bald tough guy Tanie Nobuki in front of him impressed him the most.
Just kidding, he is such a big guy, but he is an extremely shy and honest guy. Who wouldn’t be impressed by this?
"Yes... yes..." Seeing that Nakahara Nakano did not send away the two people who were walking with him, Tani Jiang Xinji, who had been struggling at the bottom for many years, immediately realized that these two people were not the people he should ask, know or interfere with.
By analogy, it doesn't matter if these two people know the news he wants to tell.
Tanjiang Xinji took a deep breath and said, "It's like this, Lord Zhongyuan, it seems that a batch of our timber has been maliciously destroyed, and now no one knows what to do."
Player: "Wow!"
Osamu Dazai: "Hey!"
Is there really a situation?
As the two boos sounded like background noise, Nakahara Chuuya frowned and said to the honest man behind him, Taniie Nobuki, who was trembling with fear, "Don't worry, take me to see it first."
"Yes, Lord Nakahara." Hearing his boss's calm voice, Nobuki Taniie also calmed down and took Chuuya Nakahara to check the situation.
…
…
"...These pieces of wood are clearly damaged." After taking photos for evidence, the player accompanying Nobuki Taniie poked at the marks on the wood and declared loudly, "They're completely damaged. They're completely unusable!"
"What? How could this happen?!" Tanijiang Xinji exclaimed, looking at the pile of wood on the ground with some worry. "If it can't be used, then the construction of this 'special ingredients' food shop will have to be postponed!"
Player: What? The project is delayed?!
"Yeah, it's really annoying. I was trying to rush the work and give the chief a surprise."
Player: What? This is a surprise for me?!
"Yes, I heard that the leader has been very tired recently and has been staying in the leader's room and not wanting to go out."
Player: What? Ahem, actually, it's because No. 2 wants to save energy. It seems like No. 2 just wants to lie down and play. Who did he take that from?
"...There's nothing we can do." Nakahara Chuuya looked at the wood in front of him that was no longer usable as material and said in an unclear tone, "Since that's the case, we can only contact the material supplier to prepare another batch of wood."
The orange-haired boy glanced at the black-haired girl next to him and said, "I'll tell the leader. Don't worry about it. Just do your job well."
"Thank you, Lord Zhongyuan!"
"We will definitely work hard!"
"That's right, I'm the best at stirring the soil!"
For a moment, everyone was in high spirits.
"No—" The player stretched out a hand, interrupting the atmosphere.
"Since this is a surprise for me, it must not be postponed." The player looked at the NPCs with frozen expressions and smiled maliciously.
"Although these woods have been completely rotten and have become completely beyond repair. But..." A wooden stick appeared out of thin air in the player's hand. He pointed at a damaged spot on the NPC's clothes and smiled confidently.
"I didn't say I can't fix it!"
