Chapter 116: Sticky (crossed out)

Douma got up only after he confirmed that nothing was left out. The pungent smell of burnt protein in the room was very unfriendly, especially to a cannibal with sensitive five senses.

Unless it is necessary, Douma doesn't want to stay here any longer, but since what happened today has already happened, no matter how reluctant he, the ultimate beneficiary, is, he still has to be responsible for the final finishing work.

Douma, who was forced to do the job, could only rub his nose helplessly and find the remote control to open the floor-to-ceiling window for ventilation.

The wind on high buildings is always very cold. Not long after the window was opened, the mixed smells in the room were swept away by the night breeze carrying the scent of the ocean, leaving only a very faint smell of blood lingering.

As the source of the bloody smell, Mori Ogai, whose nose was also saved, looked calm and composed. He bowed slightly in the direction of Douma and respectfully asked, "Boss, please allow me to go down and clean up a little."

Looking at the wolf-like body of Mori Ou, Douma felt that he really needed to go down and clean himself up first, so he didn't make it difficult for him and nodded, "Well, go ahead."

The reason why Douma agreed so readily was that his clothes, except for the Mori Owl, were now tattered and he really needed to change.

Another more important reason is that Douma, through mind reading, clearly heard Mori Gugai's strong inner appeal: as a new cannibal, Mori Gugai needs to eat immediately, otherwise he will lose control and attack the pianist.

As for why the person targeted by Mori Ogai was the pianist, Douma was not surprised. After all, there were four people standing here (?), and two of them were not human.

As for the remaining two people, Dazai Osamu has no appeal to the cannibals because his special ability [No Longer Human] continues to be effective, and he is like a stone on the side of the road.

The only 'lucky one', the pianist, is a person with powerful supernatural powers, which naturally attracted the greedy cannibal Mori Ougai's attention. The reason he didn't lose control and rush to bite him was because Mori Ougai had extremely strong self-control.

The pianist himself was unaware that he was the only one who was unlucky enough to be remembered by Mori Ouwai. When he saw that Mori Ouwai changed his mind so quickly, he couldn't help but look at him a few more times, and in his heart he felt a little admiration for Mori Ouwai's flexibility.

On the other hand, Dazai Osamu on the side still looked calm and composed, not showing any surprise at his teacher's knowledge of current affairs. Although he was actually very, very, very curious about the secret in his heart, he did not show it.

"Thank you very much." Mori Ogai seemed not to notice Dazai's inquiring gaze. After getting Douma's permission, he bowed and turned around to pass through the space between Dazai and the pianist: "Excuse me."

However, the closer he got to the pianist, the more pronounced the sweet and alluring scent emanating from him became, as if it penetrated every pore of his nose.

Even Mori Ogu, who had extremely strong self-control, couldn't stand it. His mouth couldn't help but drool. Driven by instinct, his body involuntarily moved half a step closer to the pianist, sticking to him.

Naturally, Mori Ou's obvious action could not be hidden from others.

It seems that Mr. Mori has rejected me? Dazai Osamu thought so, but he just raised his eyebrows without commenting. He didn't take it to heart. Instead, he was very interested in this interesting little detail.

In particular, although it was very short, Mr. Mori did pause subtly when passing by the two of them, which was a behavior he had never had before.

Dazai Osamu kept this suspicious detail in mind without making any expression.

After Mori Oowai left, Masaki Yuto, who had come up at some point, poked his head out of the door, looked at the blood stain on the carpet with disdain, and asked in a questioning tone, "Master Douma, shall I ask someone to come up and clean this place up?"

This suggestion from Masaki Yuto was very reasonable and suited his mind. Douma naturally had no objection. He nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, go and arrange it."

Seeing Lord Douma nod, Masaki Yuto immediately contacted the cleaning staff to come up and clean up.

Ordinary people like Masaki Yuto, their appearance and disappearance would not attract much attention from Dazai Osamu and the pianist. After all, apart from his identity as Douma's adjutant, there was nothing else about Masaki Yuto that could attract their attention.

The person who deserves their attention at this critical moment is obviously not a simple person.

Dazai glanced at Douma who was standing quietly by the window enjoying the breeze. Because he was facing away from Douma, he could not see his specific expression at the moment. He could only rely on his own control over people's hearts and tentatively said, "Boss, I think we should inform Sister Momiji as soon as possible about Mr. Mori's 'voluntary' abdication."

Relying on the fact that no one could see him, Douma leaned his head against the glass and breathed in deep gulps of fresh air. He thought about what Dazai Osamu said and found that he was right.

Currently, the five major cadres of the Port Mafia are fully staffed, and they are ranked in order of seniority: Ozaki Kouye, him, the pianist and Dazai Osamu. Excluding the three of them standing here, the one with the most say is Sister Kouye.

It is better to inform Big Sister Hongye about the boss replacement as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if Big Sister Hongye does not object to his promotion, she will feel dissatisfied because she feels neglected, which is obviously not conducive to the future stable development of the port mafia.

"We do need to notify Sister Momiji." Douma stood up straight to show his agreement, then took out the cell phone from his trouser pocket and tried to dial Ozaki Momiji's number.

Even though Douma likes to be a hands-off boss, he still personally informed Ozaki Kouyo that he replaced Mori Ogai as the new boss, which shows that he values ​​her more.

While waiting for the call to be connected, Douma rested his chin on his free hand, looked out the window and thought: Did I forget someone important? Hmm... except for Sister Momiji, there seems to be no one in the port mafia who can speak well? Forget it, since he can't remember, it must be someone unimportant.

Unimportant Officer A: ...I'm just recuperating in the hospital, I'm not dead yet!

Unfortunately, Douma had completely forgotten about Officer A and could not recall his existence at all. Although he knew in his heart that the five major officers of the Port Mafia were currently fully staffed, when he was thinking about the specific number of people, he subconsciously erased the existence of Officer A.

The Phantom Sixth Person: Officer A (bushi)

"Douma-kun?" Ozaki Koyo answered the phone quickly. She didn't ask whether her usual schedule was healthy or not. She only said that tonight, everyone who was still in the Ganghei building was silently waiting for the final news.

"It's me." Douma put aside the random thoughts in his mind and focused, saying seriously: "I have something very important to tell Sister Hongye."

Ozaki Kouyo on the other end of the line showed a look of understanding, and had already made up her mind about the outcome of the night, but she said politely, "Douma-kun, please tell me. I would like to hear the details."

“……” Douma opened his mouth and was suddenly surprised that he didn’t know how to talk about what happened tonight.

Is he supposed to say that his subordinates colluded behind his back and overthrew Sen Ou Wai without his knowledge, playing a trick on him to wear the yellow robe... Damn it, doesn't he have any face? ⌒

In the end, Douma could only say dryly: "Mr. Mori has chosen to abdicate, and the new boss of the Port Mafia is... me."

I don’t know what touched Ozaki Kouyo’s funny bone with these words, but she burst out laughing. Douma was confused by her laughter. I don’t know why Ozaki Kouyo kept laughing. Could it be that she was mad at him?

Worried about what might happen to Ozaki Kouye, Douma was a little cautious: "What do you think about this, Kouye-sister?"

As if she could sense Douma's uneasiness, Ozaki Momiji stopped laughing and encouraged him with a smile, "I think this is a good idea. Under the leadership of Douma-kun... no, I should say, Boss, the Port Mafia will definitely dominate the whole of Japan."

"..." The teased Douma pinched his fingers, breathed a sigh of relief, and raised a slight arc at the corner of his mouth, saying helplessly: "That's not the case."

"For such a happy event, it's really necessary to congratulate in person." Ozaki Koyomi sighed while touching Izumi Kyoka's hair, while thinking about what gift she should give as a congratulatory gift for Douma-kun's promotion.

"It's too late today, let's talk about it tomorrow morning." Douma politely rejected Ozaki Kouye's request to come over and congratulate her in person, and urged Ozaki Kouye to go to bed: "It's all right, Kouye-sama, go to bed. Even if you can stay up late, Kyouka can't. She's still so young, and she won't grow tall if she doesn't sleep at night."

Because they were close and Ozaki Koyo didn't pay special attention to prevent Izumi Kyoka from hearing the voice on the phone, Izumi Kyoka heard Douma's words clearly. "You won't grow taller" turned into an invisible sharp blade that pierced Izumi Kyoka's heart.

Ozaki Kouyo looked down as if she sensed something and discovered that Izumi Kyoka was indeed very concerned about her height and even showed a pitiful and cute expression.

This made Ozaki Koyomi's smile grow even brighter, but in order not to hurt Izumi Kyoka's self-esteem, she could only pretend that she saw nothing. When Izumi Kyoka wanted to look up at her, she held down the little girl's fluffy head and hid her comfort in the warmth of her palms: "Since Douma-kun said so, I will not go tonight. Good night, Douma-kun."

"Good night." Douma hung up the phone contentedly. When he looked up, he saw Dazai Osamu approaching him. In response, Douma slowly typed a question mark: "?"

Dazai Osamu looked back innocently, pretending that he had not even raised his ears to eavesdrop on their conversation.

The pianist at the side looked at Dazai Osamu with admiration. When it comes to the skill of courting death, he thought that even if he searched the entire port mafia, there would not be anyone more powerful than Dazai Osamu.

Dazai Osamu, who didn't think he was courting death, continued to play innocent, laughing wildly in his heart: Chuuya, who was sent abroad on a business trip at such a critical moment, was forgotten, right? It wouldn't be too late to tell him the truth when he comes back, isn't it a pleasant thought? After returning home, he found that the leader had changed, hahahahaha...
