In the silent night, the sound of a speeding car came from far away and broke the tranquility of the night. As the sound of the car became louder and louder, the full picture of the speeding car was finally revealed. It was an extremely flamboyant red sports car.

The red sports car sped along the night streets of Yokohama, where there were few people because the battle of the tycoon had just ended. Then, when it was close to its destination, it swung its rear end and stopped outside a not-so-conspicuous alley.

Kiyohara Jun looked at the light of the Lupin bar in the alley outside the car window, and his mind was distracted for a moment. Dazai, it seems that he hasn't mentioned his friend named Oda Sakunosuke who has a good relationship with Takuto for a while. Did something happen?

However, Jun Kiyohara's thoughts only lasted for a moment, after all, at this moment, he was about to meet a famous figure.

While unbuckling his seat belt, Kiyohara Jun said to Nakahara Chuuya, "Chuuya, wait for me in the car."

Nakahara Chuuya frowned slightly after hearing what Kiyohara Jun said, and said, "If I'm in the car, I won't be able to support you in time if you and Natsume Soseki start fighting. If it's someone else, it's okay, but Natsume Soseki is the most powerful esper in Yokohama after all."

After hearing what Nakahara Chuuya said, Kiyohara Jun paused slightly as he was about to open the car door and get out. Just as he was about to say something to Nakahara Chuuya, he noticed a lot of "HAHAHAHAHAHA" barrages suddenly appeared on the screen.

【Hahahahahaha】

[Yokohama's strongest psychic is indeed Yokohama's strongest psychic. After all, he is an invincible cat. Under the attack of cats, everyone has to admit defeat.]

[I, the dog faction, refuse to accept! I think I am much better as a dog than as a cat]

[Fight, fight! I love watching you cat and dog factions fighting the most]

[I am dying of laughter. Rumors are not to be believed. Teacher Natsume, whose ability is to transform into a cat, has become the strongest person with special abilities in the eyes of others.]

Natsume Soseki's ability is to transform into a cat? Kiyohara Jun was slightly stunned, and the words he wanted to say to Nakahara Chuuya were swallowed by him.

After learning about Natsume Soseki's special abilities, the last bit of concern in Kiyohara Jun's heart disappeared.

"Chuya, you don't need to worry about me." Kiyohara Jun shook his head slightly at Nakahara Chuya. He did not reveal Natsume Soseki's ability to Nakahara Chuya, but only analyzed, "With my strength, even a transcendent can't kill me instantly. Moreover, there are no transcendents in Japan, so Natsume Soseki can't be a transcendent."

"As long as I am not killed instantly, I believe Chuuya will be able to arrive in time no matter how far away he is. If Chuuya stays outside the door, I am worried that it will offend Natsume Soseki."

Faced with Kiyohara Jun's trust, even if Nakahara Chuuya still wanted to say something, he could only take it back since Kiyohara Jun had already given enough reasons.

"Well, I really lost to you." Nakahara Chuuya said helplessly. He reached out and pressed the hat on his head, turned his head and said to Kiyohara Jun seriously, "No matter what, I will do as you said. As long as you are in danger, I will rush to your side in time."

[Ahhhh]

【Zhong Chunzhong is real! 】

[Wow, the friendship between young people is always so true, as indestructible and heart-warming as a diamond]

After hearing what Nakahara Chuuya said in all seriousness, Kiyohara Jun's hand on the door handle moved slightly. He was silent for a while, and then he said in a hoarse voice: "I believe you."

After saying "I believe you", Kiyohara Jun opened the car door and got out without even looking at Nakahara Chuuya's reaction, striding towards Lupin in the alley.

Jun Kiyohara walked to Lupin's door in a few steps. At this moment, he could not hear any movement from inside Lupin's door, which made Jun Kiyohara dazed for a moment.

Because Dazai and Oda Sakunosuke, Oda Sakunosuke and Takuto, and he and Chuuya often drink here, he often encounters one of the other two groups drinking here, with Chuuya waiting for him here alone, and then when he meets Dazai, when he rushes to drink, he often hears their quarreling outside the door and Oda Sakunosuke's voice of persuasion adding fuel to the fire.

This used to happen often, but after the Dragon War began and their plan to usurp the throne began to be implemented, he rarely came to Lupin to drink with Chuuya, and Dazai rarely mentioned Oda Sakunosuke's name. The last time he mentioned it was when the Dragon War was at its most intense, and he casually mentioned that Oda Sakunosuke adopted five orphans who had lost their parents during the Dragon War.

At this moment, Lupin's signboard seemed a little strange.

There were a few flies on the light board that was emitting light in the dark night. They were longing for the light. Only the man in the top hat and monoculars on the light board was smiling at him as always.

Kiyohara Jun didn't know what happened to him tonight. Maybe it was because Dazai and Chuuya changed their attitude towards him after he became the leader. Kiyohara Jun, who couldn't understand the reason for their change in attitude, felt confused and bewildered. The emotions mixed in this confusion and bewilderment broke out tonight when he experienced a "rainy night" that was most likely to make people have negative emotions. Then when he revisited the old place, all of them broke out.

Jun Kiyohara, who rarely had strong emotional fluctuations, felt a little confused. He pursed his lips slightly and tried his best to suppress the emotions that just surged up and seemed not like he should have. After calming himself down, he reached out and pushed open Lupin's door.

At Lupin's bar, the bartender who never changed his expression no matter what topic they were talking about was nowhere to be seen. Only a middle-aged man with a round hat, three-colored hair at the back, and a brown coat sat at a seat in the bar with his back to him.

That's where the bar's cat teacher most often sits.

Jun Kiyohara looked at the seat next to the middle-aged man with his back to him. There was a glass of wine on the bar counter where the seat was. It seemed that it was whiskey, which he drank most often when he came to the bar. After Takuto Ogumi's alcohol ban was lifted, at the strong request of Chuuya Nakahara, although Jun Kiyohara didn't think there was anything wrong with ordering milk at the bar, he still obeyed Chuuya Nakahara and never came to the bar to order milk again.

"You're here." Natsume Soseki said with his back to Kiyohara Jun. "It's exactly eight o'clock now. You're punctual."

Kiyohara Jun said "hmm" and walked towards the seat that Natsume Soseki had specially reserved for him. Then he sat down without saying anything more.

When facing Natsume Soseki, Kiyohara Jun was not as vigilant as he was with Fyodor. Even though there was no obvious conflict between him and Fyodor, while he and Natsume Soseki clearly had a conflict, Kiyohara Jun trusted Natsume Soseki's character more than Fyodor.

Anyone who can become Mr. Mori's teacher would not be the kind of person who would resort to underhanded tricks.

Therefore, when Kiyohara Jun just sat down, he picked up the whiskey that Natsume Soseki had ordered for him in advance and took a sip.

"Scottish whisky?" Jun Kiyohara could tell the type of whisky with just one sip.

"Hmm." Natsume Soseki, who looked like a very gentle middle-aged man, also took a sip of the wine in front of him, "I thought you would like it, so I ordered Scottish whiskey for you."

When hearing what Natsume Soseki said, the face of Morobushi Kagemitsu flashed through Kiyohara Jun's mind for a moment.

"Yes, I do like it." Kiyohara Jun's eyes darkened slightly, and he agreed with Natsume Soseki.

"I have been watching your performance over this period of time." Natsume Soseki said in a gentle voice. His attitude was incredibly gentle, and it was completely impossible to tell that there was an almost irreconcilable conflict between him and Kiyohara Jun. "You are indeed a qualified leader. In some ways, you are even more suitable than that guy from Ougai."

"Gugai is sometimes too cruel, but you are different. You are as cruel as Gugai when facing the enemy, but you are much more merciful when facing your own people." At this point, Natsume Soseki changed the subject and said in an extremely gentle voice, "But this is also why I think you are not as good as Gugai."

"If you can get benefits that would otherwise require a great price by sacrificing some of your subordinates, you will choose to sacrifice those subordinates, but you are different. You would rather pay a greater price than sacrifice your subordinates, right?"

Faced with Natsume Soseki's gentle but interrogative words, Kiyohara Jun did not think much and answered Natsume Soseki's question directly and without hesitation.

"Yes, I will not sacrifice my subordinates for the sake of profit." Qingyuan Jun's eyes were fixed on the ice ball in the glass. "I don't think that my subordinates can be sacrificed for the sake of profit."

Hearing what Kiyohara Jun said, Natsume Soseki was not annoyed. He just shook his head slightly and said, "This is why Gugai contacted me. Although I agreed with Gugai's decision to pass the throne to you, I insisted on meeting you."

"I thought you wanted to see me because of the Three-minute Concept." After hearing what Natsume Soseki said, Kiyohara Jun was silent for a while, and then he spoke directly. He did not expect that Natsume Soseki wanted to see him for this.

"Three-minute concept." Natsume Soseki chuckled. "I see that you are also working on the Three-minute concept. I want to see if you are the one who can make the Port Mafia bring peace to Yokohama and replace the Three-minute concept plan I proposed."

After saying this, Natsume Soseki picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a sip of sake.

Although they were in a bar, Natsume Soseki's movements of drinking sake did not seem out of place.

"Do you think you would be?" Natsume Soseki asked back after taking a sip of wine.
