Chapter 123: A storm is coming... An underground transaction somewhere in Yokohama...
In an underground trading place somewhere in Yokohama, a man in a long windbreaker sat next to the bartender, his long hair flowing freely and as dark as ink, and every place he stayed was just right.
His face was pale and delicate, half of it hidden in darkness, while the other half was illuminated by the small lights randomly dotted in the bar, emitting a warm yellow glow. Under his high nose bridge were a pair of deep eyes, mysterious, cold and melancholy.
The person sitting here is Rimbaud, who deceived his boss and took a long vacation.
Rimbaud held a glass of wine and looked quietly at the bustling crowd in the distance, as if waiting for someone to appear.
"Mr. ***, we've got news about the man you're looking for." The contact handed Rambo a stack of photos and whispered, "Three days ago, our people spotted him in Yokohama. Here are the photos we took."
Rambo, who used a pseudonym, took the stack of photos from the intelligence dealer. His long golden hair was only slightly decorated with a thin hairband. The man, who obviously realized that he was being secretly photographed, turned his head, revealing his deep eyebrows and delicate facial features. The intimidation in his eyes pierced people's hearts.
"What a familiar face..."
Looking at the familiar faces and unrestrained footsteps above, Rimbaud fell into deep memories.
"Paul... I didn't expect you to set foot on Japanese soil again. Did you hear about Aramatsu somewhere?"
Exposing your whereabouts so blatantly to others, have you already noticed someone is tracking you, or do you not care at all...
Thinking of their last meeting, Rimbaud's thoughts became more complicated.
But now is not the time to be sentimental, he has more important things to do.
——————
Just as Rimbaud was speeding back to the Port Mafia, the player who was supposed to be diligently reviewing documents in the boss's office skipped work again.
Not only that, the player also took away the orange-haired NPC who was studying diligently under Ozaki Momiji!
The player and the orange-haired NPC walked to the "One-Stop Food" street. Thanks to the efforts of employees from all walks of life, the construction here is about to be completed.
"It's quite a sense of accomplishment to see this once deserted street transformed into its current state, right, Knight Xiaoye?" Ever since the player unlocked the black suit set of Chuuya Nakahara, he has never seen the orange-haired NPC wearing his previous uniform again.
The previous clothes made the NPC look very young, so it was not strange for players to call her "Princess Xiaoye". However, the current orange-haired NPC in a black suit is different.
The current orange-haired NPC looks mature, handsome and energetic. Players will naturally change the way they address the NPC as the NPC progresses!
But why is Knight Xiaoye no longer wearing his old clothes? Players inexplicably feel a little regretful.
After officially joining Ozaki Kouyo, Nakahara Chuuya was ordered by a woman who was very particular about clothing to throw away her previous uniform: "..."
"It's really good," Nakahara Nakaya said with some emotion, looking at the completely different food street. He had laid every brick and tile here himself. Although there were some bad memories, overall he still felt very relieved.
"We'll be ready for the opening soon. I'll plan a grand opening ceremony, do good marketing, and make a ton of money!" The player floated in the air, whispering into Nakahara Chuuya's ear. "Or maybe a food festival would be great, too. What do you think, Chuuya?"
"Ah, I don't know much about this, but the leader's idea should be very good, right?" Nakahara Chuuya said with a smile as he looked at the little leader who was flying around him using a bamboo dragonfly.

“!!!”
The player happily spun around in the sky and exclaimed, "Yes, my idea is very good!"
"What's your idea?" A furry head suddenly appeared behind the two of them.
"Who is it?" Upon hearing the voice, Nakahara Chuuya subconsciously kicked back. After his move missed, he turned around and saw the appearance of the person who came.
"Bluefin croaker? Why are you here?" Zhongyuan Zhongya asked unhappily.
"Ah, I can appear anywhere. Besides..." Dazai Osamu bent down to avoid Nakahara Chuuya's side kick, stood up and patted the dust off his coat. The movement was so light that it made Nakahara Chuuya very angry.
"If black slugs can appear here, why can't I?"
"You didn't find me in time, but that was your fault as a guard, Chuuya," Dazai Osamu said to him, "Chiyo-chan did find out about me a long time ago, right?"
"What?" Nakahara Chuuya looked at the little leader.
Under Knight Xiaoye's gaze, the player nodded and said, "The Great Teacher has been nearby, but he's been acting so sneaky and I don't know what he's been doing, so I didn't call him out."
Dazai Osamu, who was originally very proud, now turned into a sneaky dog: "..."
Sometimes Chiyo-chan talks in a way that makes it hard to respond.
"Ahem... let's not talk about this anymore, Chiyo-chan." Dazai Osamu chose to change the subject. He asked the question again, "Chiyo-chan, what were you thinking just now? Do you mind if I listen to it?"
"I've decided to hold a grand opening ceremony for the 'One-Stop Food' street a week from now, a huge food celebration."
Upon hearing Dazai Osamu's question, the player, who had instantly forgotten this little incident, raised his arms and shouted, "Not only that, I'm also going to hold a national chef competition. I sincerely invite everyone to participate. The winner will receive a beautiful prize prepared by me personally!"
"What do you think? It's a good idea, right?" The player looked at the Great Teacher with anticipation.
"A national chef competition..." Dazai Osamu's eyes flashed with thought, and then he smiled, "It's indeed a good idea. It might attract some unexpected people."
"An unexpected person...?" The player blinked, not quite understanding what the Great Teacher meant by the unexpected person.
"Maybe... it's someone Chiyo-chan had provoked before." Dazai Osamu put his finger between his lips and blinked his eyes like the little leader.
Nakahara Chuuya made a spicy comment on Mackerel's actions, "Dazai, you are so disgusting."
"Of course I can't compare to the unsuccessful protection of Nakahara Chuuya-kun!" Dazai Osamu replied unwillingly.
"Alright, alright. Let's stop arguing with each other all day long." The player skillfully separated the two of them, one in each hand, and said to the disheveled bandage-wearing creature, "So, Dazai, what on earth are you doing here?
The player who noticed something was wrong narrowed his eyes and asked, "I remember you had a mission today, right?" Could it be that the Bandage Spirit had skipped class again?
"Speaking of this..." Dazai Osamu suddenly looked sad, as if he felt wronged. "Shibusawa Ryuhiko heard that he was going to be sent back to the special agent department, and now he's been making a fuss in the port building. Chiyo-chan, go back and take a look!"
Shibusawa Tatsuhiko? The white-haired, red-eyed costume designer NPC? Is he currently causing trouble within the Port Mafia?
The player's face suddenly changed when he thought of Ryuhiko Shibusawa's ability to separate the psychic body of a psychic and make it fight against its master.
There are many people with special abilities in the player's port building! There are even more people with special abilities who have no physical power!
"No, I only restricted his personal freedom, but I didn't restrict his supernatural powers. I have to go back and check! You guys can do whatever you want, I'll go first!" The player who was eager to save his family didn't bother to greet the teacher. He activated the bamboo dragonfly and did one thing directly - run back quickly!
Left behind, Nakahara Chuuya looked at Dazai Osamu, whose smile remained unchanged, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "What are you planning, Dazai?"
"Look at what you're saying. What do I have to plan for?" Dazai Osamu turned his head and looked at Nakahara Chuuya. "But you, Chuuya, how are you doing your guarding job? Why don't you catch up quickly? If you fail in your duty again, it will be disastrous."
Nakahara Chuuya stared at the young man beside him, who still had a smile on his face. After a moment, he said, "...Humph, you better not be thinking of anything bad."
"otherwise……"
The young man in the black windbreaker adjusted the brim of his hat and whispered, "I won't let you go."
Then, a red light flashed on Nakahara Chuuya's body, and the emergence of gravity instantly created a small hole under his feet. The young man chased in the direction of the leader like a sharp sword.
“…”
Standing still, Dazai Osamu gradually lowered the corner of his lips that had been raised, and said with a somewhat expressionless face, "What a loyal little dwarf. Shibusawa Tatsuhiko is nothing to be afraid of. He's the kind of man who won't change his mind easily once he's made up his mind."
"But what I said about being in trouble wasn't false."
If you go back now, you might run into the person who sent you the message, but the message might have already been outdated...
That ghostly man...
"I really don't want to do this kind of hard labor." Dazai Osamu stretched and sighed softly, "Sigh...Okay, next, what kind of traps should I set to hinder them..."
Stop the beast that's lurking in the dark, ready to unleash bloodshed upon its appearance...
