Chapter 362: A mysterious event waiting to be triggered “So beautiful…
"What a beautiful building... It looks very historical." Sawada Tsunayoshi tried hard to search for words to describe it in his mind. After a while, he used this word.
"In order to create something new and unique, we used Chinese-style design drawings. China is a cultural powerhouse with over 5,000 years of history," the player explained. "Of course, it's also the hometown of Feng Heping."
"So it's the culture from Fuwa Ippei's hometown." Sawada Tsunayoshi nodded, and when he remembered that Ippei would occasionally utter some poems that he didn't understand, he suddenly realized.
The player looked over and said, "Looks like Yamamoto and the others haven't arrived yet. How about we go in and wait?"
"Oh, okay."
So the three of them entered the box and waited for a long time. Coincidentally, the two teams that had originally acted separately met at the door, and then came to the box together under the guidance of the staff.
"Eh? Strange, why don't I see Dazai?" The player looked around and, after confirming that he didn't see the curly-haired boy, suddenly felt a little confused. "Aren't they traveling with you?"
"Oh! You're talking about that? He said he saw someone he knew, so he left first and didn't plan on having supper with us." Sasagawa Ryohei nodded thoughtfully. "He's such a decisive person! Extreme!"
Chlom nodded silently.
Dazai? Swift and decisive?
The player touched his head and found it full of question marks.
"...That damned mackerel." Nakahara Chuuya clenched his fists, then took a deep breath and said angrily, "Maybe it's gone off to slack off somewhere again."
"No, probably not."
When it comes to serious matters, the Great Teacher is very reliable and rarely encounters unexpected situations. And...
"Before this, I had already made an agreement with Dazai. He left so suddenly now, so he must have something going on..." The player touched his chin thoughtfully, "In that case, let's just ignore him for now."
"He always has his own ideas, but he's always right."
…
…
After finishing the midnight snack, the player, who had accumulated a lot of buffs, returned to the Port Mafia with full energy, ready to make a complete draft of the plan he had discussed with the brown-haired boy tonight, waiting to put it into practice in the future.
Then, the ambitious player caught a confused-looking bandage spirit near the boss room.
"Dazai, Dazai?" The player who had picked up the curly-haired boy shook the long bandage vigorously. "Why are you here?"
"Oh, it's Chiyo-chan~~" Dazai Osamu burped, his expression dazed, and said with a strong accusation, "Well, I just drank too much with Odasaku, and now I'm a little drunk... Damn it, you don't even know, Odasaku is really too much!"
Player: "Huh?"
Dazai Osamu: "It's been so long, and he still hasn't written the second chapter! Every time I ask him, he just gloms over it!"
Player: "What?!"
Dazai Osamu: "That's right!!!"
"Damn it, this is a serious problem... I'll definitely keep a close eye on Odasaku!" The player, as if facing a formidable enemy, said to the curly-haired boy with a very cautious expression, "Don't worry, I won't let our spiritual nourishment go to waste!"
"Damn it! Didn't Odasaku promise me that he would work hard before he left?"
"Chiyo-chan...are you sure Odasaku really agreed?"
Player: “…”
Osamu Dazai: "..."
The player and Dazai Osamu face each other.
The player sat down abruptly, arms crossed, eyes dark.
It seems, probably, indeed, maybe not...
"Pfft, Chiyo-chan, will you believe anything I say?" After a long pause, Dazai Osamu chuckled and changed his posture. His face, raised by the movement, showed no trace of drunkenness. "What if I wrongly accuse Oda cadre like this?"
"Why don't you believe it?"
"Hmm?" Dazai was slightly taken aback, but then he saw the black-haired, golden-eyed girl on the chair gently stroking her long hair and saying nonchalantly and calmly, "Dazai wouldn't lie to me."
“…”
"Besides, I don't detect any trace of lies in you." The player spread his hands. "As for whether you will wrongly accuse Odasaku, or anyone else, it's easy for me to investigate such matters—"
"So, Mr. O-Sensei, what were you doing just now?"
"...Chiyo-chan's words are always so unexpected." Dazai Osamu puffed his lips, and in the confused eyes of the black-haired girl, he compromised and said, "Okay, I say-"
"The reason I left Mr. Yunyi behind and left halfway was because I saw a guy who shouldn't be in Yokohama." When he said this, a dark light flashed in the eyes of the black-haired boy with kite eyes, and the corners of his lips gradually turned up. "During this time, Chiyo-chan, please be more careful~"
"That person has been secretly watching you..."
"Someone who shouldn't appear in Yokohama..." The player subconsciously touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
Who could it be?
————————
With this mood, the next day when he led the brown-haired boy and others to visit various places, the player kept his map interface open, and his smart golden eyes kept looking around from time to time, and even the members of the tour group were more or less affected.
"What's wrong, Teacher Aurora?" Yamamoto Takeshi leaned closer and whispered, "I feel like something's not right with you today."
"Yes, Aurora." Sawada Tsunayoshi nodded, his eyes a little worried, "If you don't want to come out, we can also go shopping by ourselves."
"Oh, that's not the case. I'm happy to be your tour guide." The player patted his head. "It's just that the news I got yesterday made me feel like someone was trying to assassinate me."
"Assassination?!" Sawada Tsunayoshi was shocked. "Someone actually wants to assassinate Aurora?"
"That sounds extremely bad." Sasakawa Ryohei said solemnly, waving his fist. "Do you need our help?"
"Isn't that very dangerous?" Yamamoto Takeshi pondered, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.
"As a mafia leader, isn't it common to encounter assassination attempts?" Gokudera Hayato's thoughts differed from theirs. "But assassins hiding in the shadows are indeed a bit of a hassle."
He prefers to deal with tough enemies.
"But until now, I haven't felt any special gaze resting on me." The player said with some distress, "And there are no conditions that can trigger this assassination. It's really a bit troublesome."
"If something were to happen in a residential area, I'd be very distressed."
"So this is what you care about the most... Well, this is indeed very important." Sawada Tsunayoshi scratched his hair and complained helplessly.
"Residents' happiness is very important, okay?" the player emphasized to the brown-haired boy, clenching his fists and saying passionately, "If you can't even do that, then what's the point of being a mafia!"
"You won't get anywhere just by worrying about it. Let Tsuna and the others help you solve this problem." Reborn's dark eyes glanced at the nearby mall, seemingly unintentionally, and he said with interest, "Just think of it as a way to repay Aurora for her hospitality to you."
"It's time to test the Guardians' abilities."
Player: “Huh?”
Sawada Tsunayoshi: "Huh?"
"Testing the Guardians' abilities?!" Gokudera Hayato was instantly excited. "As the Tenth Daemon's right-hand man, I will definitely come out on top and impress him!"
"Just assassins... let me blow them all up with bombs!"
"Wait a minute, Gokudera-kun! Don't be so loud!" Sawada Tsunayoshi tried hard to pull the agitated silver-haired boy back, "Don't attract so many people's attention! We will be arrested by the police!"
"Oh! Is this the test that Mr. Bubble mentioned earlier?!" Kawahira shouted, "It really makes my blood boil like it's been a long time!"
"Brother Ryohei, you are always so passionate... So is this the reason you came with us?" Sawada Tsunayoshi complained, "And Mr. Bubble is Reborn, right? Why on earth can't you recognize him?"
"This isn't the test you mentioned before!"
"That sounds like a good idea, Tsuna!" Yamamoto Takeshi smiled brightly and put his arm around Sawada Tsunayoshi's shoulders. "It feels like playing a game of cat and mouse."
"...It has nothing to do with this, Yamamoto-kun." Sawada Tsunayoshi looked at the natural black-haired boy with a helpless look on his face. "Also, I told you this isn't a game, do you really understand?"
Yamamoto Takeshi smiled but said nothing.
**
In stark contrast to the noise, there were the players and Reborn standing aside, creating a clear distinction between themselves and Sawada Tsunayoshi and the others.
"Reborn, what are you planning?" The player squatted down and whispered in Reborn's ear, "Even I don't know who those guys Dazai is talking about."
The system did not pop up a prompt to accept the task, perhaps the player has not triggered the core event yet.
"I just want to train Tsuna and the others." Reborn raised his lips and said in a very cute voice, "As for why you don't know... Don't trust your own standards of good and bad too much, Aurora."
"Humans are the most deceptive creatures, and those who are proficient in controlling their own emotions can even deceive themselves to some extent." Reborn said meaningfully, "Then you might be deceived by him."
“It’s important to remember this.”
"The good guy might not be a good guy... The bad guy might not be a bad guy..."
The player uttered an unidentified word, then nodded, seemingly understanding. "I don't quite understand it yet, but this really shows Reborn caring about me. Don't worry, I'll definitely be careful!"
NPCs care about players, NPCs are good! Players listen to suggestions, players are good! In short, everyone is good!
"...Well, just understand it this way for now." Reborn looked at the confident black-haired girl with a half-smile and nodded slightly. "In order to live up to my expectations, let's leave this matter to Tsuna and the others."
"Compared to what will happen later, this is just a small matter. There will be no problem." The world's number one killer raised his head and pushed the brim of his black hat with the green pistol that Len had transformed into. His eyes were full of confidence in the students he had trained.
"What will happen next? What does it mean?" the player asked.
"You'll know soon. In a few days, this won't be a secret anymore." Reborn kept it a secret for once. "In fact, the reason I asked Tsuna to come to Yokohama to experience a negotiation firsthand, besides being a spur of the moment decision, is also related to what's going to happen next."
What on earth is it...it really makes players curious...
"How mysterious - but Tsunayoshi-kun looks like he knows nothing, wait..., he doesn't really know anything, does he?" The player, who was itching with curiosity, reacted and looked at Reborn decisively, but saw that he was motionless, with only the smile on his lips widening a little.
Reborn: "Huh, who knows?"
Player: “…”
The player gave a thumbs up: "When it comes to being evil-minded, it's still you, Reborn."
Poor Tsunayoshi-kun is simply being played around with!
"...Aurora, you've been acting pretty arrogant lately, huh?" Reborn smiled dangerously, and the pistol in his hand suddenly made a click. "How dare you talk about me to my face?"
"!" No way! The player shook his head frantically, "I admire you, I really do!"
"Well, then I'll let you admire me again." As he said that, a dark light flashed in Reborn's eyes, and the bullet immediately flew towards the feet of the black-haired girl.
The player who took several steps back glanced at the teenagers who had stopped arguing and decisively started running away.
