Chapter 120: Supernatural Business License
Zongtian Shantouhuo not only speaks nicely, but also does things beautifully.
He did not waste time and annoy others, but quickly pulled out the gift he had prepared long ago from his sleeve and presented it with both hands with just the right amount of respect.
Douma looked down at the small red leather painted barrel that Taneda Santoka had brought to him, and asked in confusion, "What is this?"
"This is a succession gift specially prepared by the Special Powers Division for Mr. Douma. It is a small token of our appreciation." As he spoke, Taneda Santouko smiled politely and handed the cowhide painting bucket forward: "I hope you will be so kind as to accept it."
Since it was a gift, it would be inappropriate for him not to accept it. Thinking of this, Douma took the gift generously and said "thank you" out of courtesy.
“Of course, of course.” Taneda Santouko shook his head and waved his hands repeatedly. Seeing that Douma had no intention of opening it immediately, he had to make a suggestion: “Please open it and take a look. I hope the things inside can add icing on the cake for your succession ceremony.”
Upon hearing this, Douma couldn't help but look up at Taneda Santouki who was urging him to open the gift. From the other party's words and hints, Douma had some guesses about this gift. Could it be... a supernatural business license?
Sure enough, when Douma opened the lid of the cowhide painting barrel, pulled out a rolled piece of paper inside and unfolded it, what he saw was exactly what he had guessed.
What the port mafia needs most right now is a supernatural business license.
I have to say, this gift from the Special Power Department really touched Douma's heart.
It is just what is meant by governing according to one's position.
Before this, Douma was just one of the cadres of the Port Mafia. Of course, there was no need for him to waste his favors and take the initiative to find the Supernatural Special Agent Department to ask for a supernatural business license for the Port Mafia.
That's too embarrassing for Mori Owl. (crossed out)
But things are different now. Now that Douma has become the new boss of Port Mafia, the supernatural business license, which is extremely important for the future development of Port Mafia, has become something that Douma is determined to obtain.
And this is something he wanted so much, he didn't even need to ask for it. As soon as Taneda Santouko learned that he had become the new boss of the Port Mafia, he immediately handed him the supernatural business license. He really deserved to be promoted and get a raise and reach the peak of his life. (bushi)
"Not bad, I like this gift from the Special Powers Department very much." Douma nodded in affirmation and generously showed a satisfied smile to the very human Taneda Santouki.
"As long as you like it." Taneda Santouki also laughed. Seeing that Douma seemed really satisfied, he breathed a sigh of relief silently and put his heart back in his stomach.
The reason why Taneda Santouki was so nervous was because Douma, the local transcendent who suddenly appeared and the only one in Japan in many years, had always been too cold towards their Special Powers Department. In addition, Douma's task of asking them to find the "book" was not going smoothly.
With the two compartments stacked up together, the director, Taneda Santoka, couldn't help but feel anxious. So after learning that Douma was going to hold a succession ceremony, he tried to get close to him and promptly delivered the supernatural business license that the other party urgently needed.
After all, as the official agency that manages all superpowered people and superpowered events in Japan, their Superpowered Special Affairs Department shoulders the important task of communication between the Cabinet and Douma, the Transcendent One. If their performance is poor and causes dissatisfaction among the Transcendent Ones, the Cabinet ministers will probably not forgive them.
Douma, who had no idea that he was actually regarded as a monster by Taneda Santouki, became more and more satisfied the more he looked at Taneda Santouki's shiny head. Even the shiny head of Taneda Santouki seemed pleasing to him.
However, pleasing it is, Douma will never relax when it comes to important matters. Since he saw the fire on the farming mountain again today, he must speed up the progress of finding the "book".
Thinking of this, Douma stuffed the supernatural business license back into the cowhide painting bucket, and when he looked up again, his expression became serious. To show his respect, he deliberately asked in a deep voice: "Is there any news about the thing I asked you to find before?"
"Ahem..." Taneda Santouko coughed, awkwardly rubbing the back of his smooth head, avoiding glances, feeling guilty and not daring to look Douma in the eye, and replied with a wry smile: "It's like this... The Special Powers Agent Department has failed your trust and has not yet obtained any effective relevant information."
The voice of Taneda Santoka was getting quieter and quieter. In the end, if it weren't for Douma's amazing hearing, no one would have been able to hear what he was saying.
Douma was not too disappointed when he didn't hear the good news. After all, if the core "book" was really that easy to find, then the plot of "Bungo Stray Dogs" would not be able to go on.
Therefore, Douma just nodded and murmured softly, "Is that so..."
There was no need for Douma to say anything to encourage him. Huoguang on Taneda Santo's head felt his heart tighten when he saw Douma's cold expression.
As a man majoring in politics, Taneda Santouki's ability to fill in the blanks in his brain is no worse than that of Mori Ogawa, who is as cunning as a sieve. He quickly filled in a bunch of 'dohuma's dissatisfied psychological activities' in his brain, and sweat soon seeped out of his bright head, which became unusually conspicuous because he did not have three thousand worries.
Douma noticed that Taneda Santoka was nervous and could not help but slowly type a question mark: "?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Douma." Thinking that Douma was unhappy, Taneda Santouki bowed slightly and assured firmly, "I will go back immediately and send more people to speed up the progress of the mission."
“…Okay.” Douma blinked, then realized that Taneda Santohuo was sweating profusely because of a misunderstanding.
However... there is no need to explain this misunderstanding that benefits him, smile.jpg
Taneda Santouki misinterpreted Douma's hesitant tone as reluctance, and the worry that had just been put at ease rose up into his throat again.
In this situation, Taneda Santouko could no longer talk to Douma to get closer. He took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead and said in a negotiating tone: "Then I will take my leave first, so that I can help you solve your problems earlier."
Facing Taneda Santouko's hasty farewell, Douma, who didn't like those pretentious people, didn't stop him. Instead, he nodded and said, "Well, thank you for your concern."
As the host, Douma led the way, and the two of them walked out of the hall one after the other. When the people waiting at the door saw them coming out, they all turned their eyes over.
Douma ignored the gazes and called over a man in a black suit, ordering him, "Send this guest away."
"Yes." The man in the black suit responded, then made a gesture of invitation to Zhongtian Shantouhuo.
Under the gazes of many people, Taneda Santouki remained very calm. He nodded to several port mafia executives in turn, and then followed the man in a black suit who led the way and left.
When the figure of Taneda Santohuo disappeared, the most impatient officer A became the first to come forward. His eyes flashed with greed, and he asked tentatively, "Boss, does the director of the Special Powers Department come to you privately to find out some inside information?"
As if he was afraid that Douma didn't want to tell him, Officer A spoke faster without waiting for Douma to express his opinion: "It just so happens that the top leaders of the organization are all here at this time, so if you have any news, tell it now so that everyone can take a look at it together."
Mori Ogai, Ozaki Koyo, the pianist, and Dazai Osamu, who were caught up in the act and put pressure on Douma, couldn't help but look at the bragging officer A. Even the usually thick-skinned Nakahara Chuuya understood the sinister intentions of Officer A and said to him directly, "Hey, the boss's majesty cannot be offended. As an officer, have you forgotten this iron rule?"
"Hahaha...I didn't offend the boss..." Officer A's mouth twitched and he laughed awkwardly, but his voice became lower and lower, exposing the fact that he knew everything and was just pretending to be stupid.
With Nakahara Chuuya as the vanguard, the remaining four people did not say a word. They just looked at cadre A with eyes full of mockery. It is true that if you don't do anything, you won't die. Obviously, Mr. A, who got to the top by spending money, did not understand this.
Especially Mori Ogai, he looked at Officer A as if he was looking at a dead person. Now that he knows that Douma is not a human but a cannibal, he looks at Officer A, this delicious psychic, jumping around, and is really... looking forward to it~
Not only Douma craves the blood of powerful psychics, but Mori Ougai, who is ordered not to eat humans, also craves it, and even craves it more than Douma.
After all, compared to the Ghost King who has plenty of energy, Mori Ougai, as a new cannibal, needs better quality food to replenish his energy. Therefore, Mori Ougai looked at Officer A with more greed in his eyes.
Officer A shuddered when he was looked at. He looked around suspiciously, but nothing unusual happened. This forced him to cast a suspicious look at his 'good' colleagues.
But when Officer A glanced over Sen Gu Wai, the extremely cunning Sen Gu Wai had already put away his unusual look and returned to his usual self, preventing the coveted prey from noticing the predator's covetousness in advance.
Douma, who was standing by, saw everything. In his heart, he silently lit a candle on the part of the body that Moriogai had targeted. Slurp.jpg (crossed out) candle candle candle candle.jpg
Suddenly remembering how delicious cadre A was, Douma swallowed his saliva. To prevent himself from doing anything rude, he quickly told everyone the good news: "Mr. A is right. I do have something to announce to you."
"Director Taneda just gave me a gift." Douma once again took out the symbolic certificate and spread it out to show everyone: "Superpowers..."
"Business Permit with Supernatural Powers!" Mori Ogai's eyes widened in shock and he interrupted Douma loudly before he could finish.
The interrupted Douma looked towards Mori Owai dimly, thinking: Okay, I'll make another note in my little notebook. I haven't settled the previous account with you yet, so we can do it together later.
Mori Ougai shuddered suddenly, then when he looked up he met Douma's cold gaze: ...It's over.
