Chapter 132: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell (with Extra Updates)…
Douma's cold warning wiped out all the smile in Dazai Osamu's eyes, and his iris-colored eyes returned to their usual darkness and depth, because he realized in just a moment that his plan with Foolish Bird had already been seen through by this man whose depth he had always been unable to see through.
Tsk, I actually lost. This Douma guy is too difficult to deal with. Dazai Osamu complained in his heart, but his face remained calm, and no one could tell that he was wrong.
No one knows how Dazai Osamu's heart is fluctuating under his seemingly calm appearance at this moment, and how he is frantically reviewing where he and Stupid Bird made mistakes that led to Douma catching the flaw and thus seeing through their plan.
But is Dazai Osamu the kind of honest person who would admit it once it was pointed out to him? No, he obviously wasn't.
Dazai Osamu, who was not only dishonest but also cunning, chuckled and seemed to obediently avoid looking into the pair of cold and ruthless colorful gradient eyes. He lowered his eyelids slightly and asked in a very innocent tone: "Boss, what exactly do you mean? Please forgive me for not being able to think of where I went too far."
Although Dazai Osamu called himself a subordinate and seemed to put himself in a low position, the meaning of his words was quite straightforward, and he was just short of saying "I'm right" directly to Douma's face.
"???" Akutagawa Ryunosuke on the side was confused. He didn't understand why the boss suddenly rushed towards Mr. Dazai who hardly said anything, and he didn't understand why Mr. Dazai suddenly confronted the boss so blatantly.
But no matter how much he didn't understand, an intuitive creature like Akutagawa Ryunosuke could read the tense atmosphere in the air.
As a stray dog who is loyal to Mr. Dazai, Akutagawa Ryunosuke's body tensed up subconsciously, and the hem of his black windbreaker also moved uneasily.
It is obvious that [Rashomon] is ready to go.
Such a big commotion naturally did not escape the eyes of the other two people present. The two people in confrontation could not help but look at Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who seemed ready to fight at any time.
The two terrifying, seemingly tangible gazes made Akutagawa Ryunosuke's body stiffen, and the hem of his windbreaker, which moved automatically without wind, also froze, but it still stubbornly flashed the faint light of the activation of supernatural powers.
Dazai Osamu was extremely angry at his student's impatient performance. This stupid act of handing the boss a handle made him want to shoot Akutagawa in the head a few times on the spot so that this brainless guy would remember it.
Dazai Osamu's calm face, which had remained unmoved even when faced with a catastrophe, rarely showed an angry expression. It was obvious that he was furious at the foolish behavior of his own student who showed an aggressive tendency in front of Douma.
Dazai Osamu called out his student's full name in an unprecedentedly gentle tone, word by word: "Aku-gawa-Ryu-no-suke."
At the same time, a hand wrapped in a bandage silently rested on Akutagawa Ryunosuke's shoulder, [Disqualification from the Human World] silently eliminated the activated [Rashomon], and the originally glowing hem returned to normal.
As we all know, if a parent calls out their child's full name, it means something bad is going to happen.
Ryunosuke Akutagawa, who grew up in a slum, was not very clear about this unspoken rule that applies to the whole world, but his intuition derived from small animals allowed him to clearly feel the tremendous anger of Mr. Dazai. He probably, possibly, maybe, had caused trouble for Mr. Dazai, and a big trouble at that.
After realizing this, Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who had just looked like he could face the boss head-on for Mr. Dazai, no longer had his previous ferocious look. His whole lop-eared rabbit drooped, and his originally straight back became even more unbending, exuding a pitiful but unacknowledged aura.
In the world of the tough guy, there is no such thing as admitting mistakes. Akutagawa Ryunosuke never felt that he had done anything wrong from beginning to end. He was always willing to be an enemy of everyone for Mr. Dazai, even the boss.
What Akutagawa Ryunosuke was thinking in his heart was almost transparent in the eyes of a scriptwriter like Dazai Osamu, which made him doubt his life for a moment. Why was he so desperate to accept a student like Akutagawa who was so slow-witted? Did he think his life was too peaceful?
Dazai Osamu closed his eyes. No matter how stupid the students he accepted were, he had to accept it. He repeated this sentence silently in his heart and barely suppressed the urge to kick him.
But even if he was angry, as a teacher he had to clean up the mess for his students. Dazai Osamu looked at Akutagawa Ryunosuke coldly, signaling him not to speak nonsense, then bowed slightly to Douma and softened his tone: "I'm sorry, I didn't educate Akutagawa well. Please forgive Akutagawa's recklessness. I will teach him the rules of the port mafia in the future."
As for what the rules are, those present knew them well without having to say them out loud. Naturally, it is the most important rule of the port mafia: the boss's orders are absolute.
Seeing that Dazai Osamu was subdued by Akutagawa Ryunosuke's brainless and inappropriate behavior, Douma certainly wouldn't hold on to this matter. He wasn't so petty as to argue with Dazai's well-known brainless fans.
Of course, the most important point is that Douma is sure that the "love education" that Dazai Osamu will give to Akutagawa Ryunosuke after he returns will definitely be much more terrifying than the punishment he can give.
After lighting a candle for the poor Akutagawa in his heart, Douma waved his hand magnanimously and put the matter behind him: "It's not a big deal. Akutagawa is still young and has not been in the port mafia for long. You can just go back and teach him more."
Dazai was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard the boss above him continue to speak: "As for asking you to stop, I think Dazai-kun knows exactly what is going on... right?"
Hearing this, Dazai Osamu looked up and met Douma's pointed and cold gaze. His heart sank. He knew that after what happened to Akutagawa, he had to stop even if he didn't want to. So he nodded reluctantly and said perfunctorily, "Yeah."^o^This^o^work^o^by^o^
Listening to Dazai's drawn-out tone, Douma knew that Dazai was still unconvinced, and could not help but remind him again: "If anything happens to Mr. Mori, then the work that should have been handled by him will probably be a bother for Dazai-kun."
As soon as these words were spoken, Dazai Osamu, who had just looked reluctant, immediately changed his attitude.
As a super slacker with the word "slacking" engraved in his DNA, it is impossible for him to work, especially to turn on the big scapegoat mode of 007 like Mr. Mori, which is absolutely impossible!
Dazai Osamu choked inwardly, but for the first time, he responded to Douma's warning: "I understand. I will be more careful next time."
Dazai Osamu, who personally arranged this "accident", knew very well that this little trick was not enough to kill Mr. Mori completely. After all, good people do not live long, but bad things will last for thousands of years. Mr. Mori's newly developed healing ability is very tricky.
Even if his plan went smoothly without any mistakes, Mr. Mori would be seriously injured or even fall into a coma due to the sudden explosion, but he would be saved in time by Alice who has a certain degree of autonomy. Fortunately, this was just a small lesson for Mr. Mori.
It's a pity that his subsequent plan may not be able to be implemented. It needs to be modified and downgraded. Otherwise, if he accidentally kills Mr. Mori, he will have to fall into overtime hell on behalf of Mr. Mori, and he doesn't want to do this.
Dazai Osamu, who refused to work overtime, reached out and pressed down the back of Akutagawa Ryunosuke's rebellious head, wanting to bow and say goodbye: "If you don't have anything else to tell me, Akutagawa and I will take our leave first."
"Hmm..." Facing Dazai Osamu who suddenly planned to retreat strategically, Douma hesitated for a moment, and finally remembered the important matter that he almost forgot, and said seriously: "If you want to tell me, I do have something very important here."
When Dazai heard Douma say it was something important, he also looked serious. But before he could ask what it was, Douma said in a devilish voice, "Dazai-kun, don't forget to continue your studies. I will check it myself later. I think with Dazai-kun's extraordinary intelligence, a university diploma is not a problem."
“……” Dazai Osamu remained silent with an expressionless face. He never expected that Douma would make such an unreasonable request to him.
Whose executives would be ordered by the boss himself to return to campus for further studies? Apart from the Port Mafia, Dazai Osamu never thought that he had heard of such an outrageous thing happening in the Japanese underworld.
Not to mention the chaotic Dazai Osamu, Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who had become as quiet as a chicken after being warned by Dazai Osamu, stood up again. He turned to look at Mr. Dazai with shining eyes and thought: If he was with Mr. Dazai, he would be willing to go to school immediately. School is super fun and no one can stop him from going to school!
Feeling the burning gaze falling on him, Dazai Osamu laughed in anger and squeezed the man's neck hard. He didn't even need to turn around to look at Akutagawa Ryunosuke beside him, to know what this silly boy was up to.
"Hiss..." The sudden and heavy pinch made Akutagawa Ryunosuke cry out in pain, but he closed his mouth the next second and had to endure the "love education" from Mr. Dazai.
Although he didn't quite understand where he had done wrong, he didn't really need to know that much. He just had to accept it. Mr. Dazai naturally had his reasons. The ultimate brain-dead fan, Mr. Dazai's venomous fan, the black and white gradient lop-eared rabbit, Akutagawa Ryunosuke thought so.
After being interrupted by Ryunosuke Akutagawa, Dazai Osamu became single and quickly started to drag others into it.
It's just a college diploma. It may be difficult and troublesome for others, but with Dazai Osamu's IQ, it's really nothing. He can get it as long as he wants. It just takes a little time and energy.
However, it's not fair that he is the only one who needs to go back to school for further studies. How can he not think about others when doing such a good thing?
Apparently, Dazai Osamu was one of those people who would tear off other people's umbrellas when he gets wet in the rain. He changed his resistance and happily mentioned his beloved partner at this time: "Boss, you can't forget Chuuya for such a good thing. He is the one who should go to school the most!"
Although Chuuya Nakahara set out for the European continent again after resolving the Mimic attack, and devoted himself to the smuggling (crossing out) maritime trade business that the port mafia had just started, this did not stop Dazai Osamu from dragging others into the water with his evil intentions.
Douma, who was watching the excitement and worrying about his subordinates, thought this suggestion was good, but when he thought about Chuuya still being on a business trip in Europe, he couldn't help but look embarrassed: "I'm afraid Chuuya won't be able to spare the time to come back for school. He's been very busy recently."
Dazai Osamu didn't care at all about the difficulty raised by Douma. With him watching by his side, he would definitely help his beloved partner to overcome all difficulties.
Therefore, Dazai Osamu hastily and enthusiastically promised: "Please rest assured, boss, I will help Zhongye negotiate in advance the school he will attend next year, so that he can enroll when he returns from his business trip."
Not to mention that Nakahara Chuuya himself has high qualities, the club's knowledge has not been left behind just because he has never been to school. It's just that he didn't follow the path of higher education that most ordinary people take. The power behind them alone is enough for many universities to open their doors for them.
At least among the local universities in Yokohama, Dazai Osamu could not think of any president who would dare to reject their application for admission, unless these people and their families did not want to continue living in Yokohama in the future.
After all, their port mafia is well-known as the uncrowned king of the world in Yokohama, so this simple request is easy to achieve.
Dazai Osamu's plan went smoothly, but poor Nakahara Chuuya, who was on a business trip in Europe, was completely unaware of it. His partner unknowingly arranged a busy life for the next few years.
Nakahara Chuuya: ...? ? ? Thank you!
Dazai Osamu: You’re welcome, Chuuya. This is what I should do as your partner~
Nakahara Chuuya: It's hard, my fist is hard.jpg
No matter how chaotic the fight between the two blacks would be in a few months, Dazai Osamu, who had the upper hand today, couldn't help but reveal a smile of a winner. Then he grabbed the back of the collar of his uneducated student, said goodbye to Douma, and after getting his permission, he led his people away.
Douma looked at the closed door and shook his head vigorously, trying to get rid of the vision of Dazai the cat taking the Akutagawa lop rabbit by the scruff of the neck and leaving.
After the strange illusion disappeared, Douma called in the guard who had secretly informed Dazai Osamu. While looking this courageous guard up and down, he secretly wondered where he would be most suitable to transfer this person to.
As a guard stationed at the door of the leader's office, he secretly colluded with Dazai Osamu, one of the five major cadres, to secretly transmit messages to others. Whether it was due to Dazai Osamu's coercion or Dazai Osamu's coercion, it can be regarded as serious dereliction of duty.
This matter is not big, but it is not small either. Such behavior cannot be considered betrayal in the strict sense, but it cannot be said that he is loyal enough to his boss.
Therefore, it was indeed a bit excessive to drag the person out and execute him directly, but it was absolutely impossible to keep this person under our noses and let him stay in such a sensitive position.
When Douma was thinking about where to send the guard who made the mistake, the guard who knew what he had done was the first to be unable to bear the pressure.
"Boss, I know I was wrong, and I won't dare to do it again." The guard knelt on the ground with a thump. Fortunately, the entire office of the leader was covered with soft and expensive carpets, otherwise his knees would be in danger.
Douma raised his eyelids and glanced at the guard who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowed, and said in a light tone: "Since you know you are wrong, you should know what to do, right?"
Hearing the careless voice above his head, the guard couldn't control his whole body and trembled. He no longer dared to take any chances. After a while, he slowly straightened up and took out the dagger tied to his calf while kneeling on his knees.
Seeing his own fearful eyes reflected on the well-maintained blade, the guard could not help but hold the hilt tighter, then swallowed his saliva, mustered up the courage to glance up at Douma above him, and then, as if he had gained courage from Douma, he raised the dagger in his hand high and murmured, "Master Douma, I know what to do."
As the words fell, the guard stabbed downwards suddenly. Seeing that the dagger with a cold glow was about to pierce his chest, Douma hurriedly took action to knock the sharp dagger away. This was not a small matter that would cause a person to commit suicide on the spot to atone for his crime.
A rough test yielded a result that satisfied Douma. The man could still be used, so he gave up the idea of sending him to expand the front line as cannon fodder (abandoned) as a vanguard, and only sent him to a base in the rear as a warehouse manager.
Douma, a capitalist who makes the best use of everything, finally said something to comfort him: "Get up, go back and reflect on yourself. If you behave well in the future, you will have a chance to shine sooner or later."
"Yes, the boss's teachings must be kept in mind." The guard stood up as he was told, revealing a pair of red eyes burned by guilt.
The guard was feeling both ashamed and moved at this moment. He originally thought that he would not be able to escape death today, but he did not expect that even though Lord Douma had become a high and mighty leader, he was still as merciful as before and chose to let go of him, a disloyal person. Wuwuwu... Lord Douma is so awesome!
Douma, who was secretly despising himself for gradually becoming a worthless person, was unaware of the complicated psychological activities of the person in front of him. He waved his hand to send the person away, and then he had time to think about future strategic arrangements.
It is certain that it will continue to expand. If he was just one of the five major cadres of the former Port Mafia, then the size of the Port Mafia would not have much to do with him. But now it is different.
Regardless of whether Douma himself voluntarily took the position, the result is that he has become the new boss of the Port Mafia in everyone's eyes.
In this case, the expansion plan of reopening the port mafia is imminent, otherwise, as the only local transcendent (fake), won't he have any face? Even if he doesn't want to participate in politics, he must be a dark emperor who rules the world inside Japan, right? (bushi)
Douma, who suddenly felt that the title of Godfather was super handsome, said: Let’s set a small goal first and unify the Japanese inner world!
However, just like everyone who gets excited and makes plans ABCDE in one breath, but then falls at the first step of action, Douma lay down again after a short while of excitement, thinking that the current situation is pretty good, and being a salted fish boss who leaves all the work to others is simply his ideal life.
After easily convincing himself, Douma stood up and walked to the refrigerator in the corner, took out a bag of limited edition psychic blood, and gulped it down happily. He took the opportunity to look at the two red stars in the depths of his consciousness and found that the star belonging to Mori Owl was no longer on the verge of extinction. Although it was much dimmer, it was relatively stable.
On the other hand, Moriogai had no idea that Douma was paying attention to his situation, and he had no idea that Douma could detect his current condition. At this moment, he was struggling to avoid the sunlight that seemed to be everywhere, trying to find one or two unlucky people (crossed out) to replenish his almost exhausted energy.
All I can say is that fortunately the manifestation of Mori Ou's special ability [Vita Sexualis] is quite special, otherwise he might have really died today.
Just as Dazai Osamu guessed, the explosion and fire could not take Mori Gugai's life. Even if Mori Gugai was no longer a cannibal but a human being, Alice's presence was enough for him to escape death. It was just that injuries were inevitable.
As a result, due to Mori Owl's manifested cannibalistic physique, he was severely injured by the explosion but recovered quickly. The subsequent flames continued to cause him continuous damage, destroying his newly repaired body and consuming his already limited energy reserves.
Before the raging flames turned the Morigu to ashes, Alice and he, whose strength had increased greatly after transforming into a cannibal, successfully tore the metal roof apart and successfully escaped from the closed compartment that could trap ordinary people to death.
Therefore, except for the excessive consumption of energy stored in the body, Mori Owl was fine. However, the fact that the specially made big black umbrella array perished in the fire caused him a lot of trouble.
Fortunately, Alice reacted quickly enough. Before the forest gull escaped from the car and was exposed to the sunlight outside, she used her great strength to miraculously tear off the roof of the car, and covered the part of the forest gull's body exposed outside the sunscreen clothing in time, thus preventing her owner from being killed on the spot.
Not to mention how difficult it was to survive outside Morio, with the help of the dim star that was almost extinguished, Douma, the shopkeeper, finally remembered Gin by the Daming Lake, and gave a vague apology to the Black Organization that he had forgotten deep in his memory... No way.
It is impossible to apologize. The organization that came to me for free is not worthy of the boss being held responsible for it. (bushi)
In fact, Douma finally remembered that the times are different now and the Black Organization should make some adjustments. All those fake liquor and disloyal guys should be thrown away, and the remaining loyal people should be taken out and incorporated into the Port Mafia.
Otherwise, sooner or later this watered-down wine factory will be shut down by a group of fake winemakers and the Destiny Child, Conan Edogawa, when he's not paying attention, and by then, the loss to him as the boss will be too great.
Anyway, too many lice don't itch, and too many debts don't worry. Since he has become the boss of the Port Mafia in public, there is no need to keep it secret to the extent that no one knows that he is the behind-the-scenes boss of the Black Organization.
It's time to start the Golden Cicada Shelling Plan of the Water-Blending Winery.
