Chapter 27

Douma, who was severely confused, had no idea about Mori Ougai's speculation, and he didn't know that he had been unilaterally labeled as a pervert by Alice even though he hadn't even met Alice yet.

After a two-on-one battle, Douma, who had used the [Blood Demon Jutsu], was now slightly hungry. This was because the energy source that drove the [Blood Demon Jutsu] was actually the human flesh and blood that the cannibal ingested and stored in his body.

When the energy was not so sufficient, Douma's resistance to the scent of the psychic lingering around his nose became much weaker.

Douma looked around with a slight sense of guilt, and was surprised to find that the lower-level members who had been poisoned by him showed no signs of waking up.

In that case, what are you waiting for?

"What a waste." Douma said softly.

After successfully convincing himself of what little conscience he had left, Douma took advantage of the fact that the bodies of the two officers were still stiff and gave them a hearty meal.

He stopped reluctantly only when he could no longer squeeze out a drop of blood. Feeling the abundant energy reserves in his body, Douma's heart was filled with a sense of security.

After all, although the [Blood Vampire Magic] that the shell possesses is very strong and its recovery ability is extremely extraordinary, on the other hand, it requires him to absorb enough energy to activate these abilities.

The superpowers in this world are equivalent to the rare blood in Demon Slayer. In comparison, they are just as difficult to obtain, and opportunities as good as today's don't always come.

Douma once tried the blood bags available in the hospital, but the taste of ordinary people's blood and that of people with special abilities was too different, and the energy it could replenish for him was also at least a hundred times different, so the cost-effectiveness was extremely low.

It is no wonder that Douma has a "special liking" for people with special abilities and always wants to get close to the transcendent Rimbaud. The two are completely not in the same league.

After stealing the meal, Douma looked at the lower-level staff lying on the ground and felt a little worried. After all, they followed the Kobayashi cadres and the Hisada cadres and intended to overthrow the rule of Mori Ogai. He didn't know how Mori Ogai planned to deal with these people.

But considering Mori Ogai's personality, he would not attack them again even if he felt uncomfortable. Otherwise, Mori Ogai would not have designed Douma to take action to deal with these lower-level members who disobeyed him.

Thinking of Mori Ogai's expression when he finds out that these people are not dead, Douma can't help but feel a little eager to give it a try. Mori Ogai always sets traps for him, so he should at least reciprocate, right?

While Douma was thinking, those unconscious lower-level personnel on the ground who were in better physical condition had already opened their eyes with a groan.

They looked around blankly, and finally their eyes fell on Douma's feet. The two corpses lying there looked very familiar.

The chaotic thoughts gradually became clear, and the strong survival instinct allowed the awakened men in black suits to figure out the current situation in a short period of time.

The two officers who had joined forces to overthrow Morio had obviously failed. They were defeated by Douma in a two-on-one battle. They suddenly realized how powerful Douma was.

Noticing that these people had woken up, Douma couldn't help but tighten the fan in his hand. He was not afraid at all. He just didn't want to take action against these low-level people who were just going with the flow. But if they didn't know what was happening, then he would have no choice but to kill them.

However, in fact, you can always believe how strong the human instinct to survive is, even the port mafia tough guys who kill without blinking an eye are no exception.

Douma, who probably had some misunderstanding about human nature, thought for a moment and announced to everyone, "I have executed the Kobayashi and Hisada officers who attempted to rebel."

Upon hearing this, the dazed men in black suits all turned their eyes to Douma, and then they noticed the sad look on Douma's, no, it should be said that it was Douma-sama's face.

Is he pitying us for our current predicament? That's impossible, right? How could a superpower like Douma-sama, who is so high and mighty, care about us, who are like dust?

"The mistakes of Officer Kobayashi and Officer Hisada have nothing to do with you. You just followed the rules of the port mafia and strictly obeyed the orders of your superiors." Douma looked at these stupid men in black suits and couldn't help but persuade them: "So, I hope you can make the right decision."

The Xie Cult leader buff that Shell had was not undeserved. In Douma's eyes, he was just giving some extra advice. However, to the men in black suits, it did not make sense at all.

Simply put, it is the maximum temptation.

The men in black suits, whose mental defense was almost non-existent, were successfully deceived.

They now felt a warm current that they had never felt before, flowing slowly from their hearts through their bodies, and their stiff and sluggish bodies could not help but recover a lot. (In fact, it was just the blood circulation that was restored)

The guns that were tightly grasped in their hands loosened unconsciously, and the eyes of the group of grown men turned red in unison, and they almost burst into tears out of shame.

Ah, Douma-sama, who is so powerful, has such a gentle personality. He is cherished by such a noble and holy man. (bushi)

How dare these humble guys like them disappoint the adults' expectations of them?

The men in black suits who had quickly completed their self-brainwashing knelt down on one knee in unison, bowed their heads to Douma excitedly, and solemnly swore: "I am willing to fight for Douma-sama until my death."

"I am willing to fight for you, Master Douma, until my death."

"I am willing to fight for you, Master Douma, until my death."

The three consecutive oaths of the crowd echoed in the empty hall, with a deafening effect.

At least Douma was shocked by them, shocked to the point of being speechless.

Douma: ???

When I type ???, it doesn't mean there's something wrong with me, it means I think there's something wrong with you.

However, even if Douma showed his dead fish eyes, he could not stop the believers from attacking themselves. He could only watch these new believers and slowly run towards the direction of the fanatics.

Very good, the Yokohama branch of the Eternal Paradise Church has become more powerful.

Congratulations! Congratulations!

Thinking they had given the most correct answer, the generally brainless guys in black suits gave Douma a puppy dog ​​look, looking like they really wanted to be praised by Douma-sama.

No one can resist a passionate dog. (X)

Seeing that the situation was irreversible, Douma had no choice but to give up the struggle. He sighed helplessly: "Thank you."

Even though it was such an obvious perfunctory response, in the eyes of these blind Shinjinxie believers, it was Lord Douma's affirmation of them. This made them even more excited, and they couldn't wait to sacrifice their lives for Lord Douma who understood them and was concerned about their situation.

Douma looked at these big dogs with shining eyes and concluded that they were hopeless. He also felt that these people really needed to download an anti-fraud app.

Being a xie cultist will not end well! (Very loud)

In desperation, Douma could only send everyone to the hospital to see a doctor.

Although he has tried hard to control the concentration of toxins in [Blood Vampire Art], it is still bad for the body. He should be hospitalized to check his brain (cut out) and lungs.

The guys in black suits didn't know that Douma actually thought they were crazy, and they thought that Douma-sama was concerned about their health, and they were all deeply moved.

After getting rid of his strange followers, Douma can finally be alone and quiet.

It's just that tonight's incident is such a big deal. If the follow-up matters are not resolved quickly, he will not even think about going back to have a good rest.

After returning to the main building, Douma did not go directly to the leader's office on the top floor, but chose to inform Sister Momiji first.

This is when the advantage of being a direct subordinate of Sister Hongye comes into play. If something goes wrong, he can pass the buck and can legitimately not report the matter directly to the leader.

The death list that Dazai Osamu personally handed to Douma is not something that can be discussed openly, even though this is the Port Mafia, an underground organization that advocates violence.

If people knew that Mori Ou could not tolerate even the lower-level personnel who were just following orders from their superiors, then his position would be in jeopardy.

The support of the upper-level forces may be important, but the support of the grassroots groups is an even more indispensable link. Otherwise, Mori Ouga would not have not come forward himself and just let Dazai Osamu handle this matter.

It's clearly an illegal underground organization, but it surprisingly emphasizes legitimacy. Thinking of this, Douma couldn't help but curl up a sarcastic smile.

On the basement floor of the main building of Ganghei Building, in the office of the Torture Department.

Ozaki Kouyo, who was working overtime, heard the familiar footsteps. She did not stop flipping through the documents. She raised her eyes slightly and looked at Douma who suddenly appeared at the door. She asked in a familiar tone: "Why did Douma-kun come here suddenly? Aren't you on vacation?"

Ozaki Koyo deliberately prolonged the word "vacation", obviously she knew something about the inside story.

"Mr. Mori instructed me to deal with the opposition. Have you told Sister Momiji?" Douma directly skipped the person in charge, Dazai Osamu, and pointed out the mastermind behind the scenes.

"No, Dr. Mori did not tell me anything about the arrangement for you." Ozaki Kouye shook her head to deny it, pursed her red lips hidden by her sleeves, and smiled faintly, "I just have some guesses about this."

Even though women do not have a high status in Japan, Ozaki Koyo is no less intelligent or powerful than any man in the port mafia. Her attentiveness, which is unique to women, even allows her to better perceive some secrets that are easily overlooked.

However, Douma noticed that the way Ozaki Koyo addressed Mori Ogai at this time was not Ogai-sama/Chief-sama as in the original work.

"I'm a little angry." Ozaki Koba's narrow eyes raised slightly.

"What?" Douma tilted his head in confusion.

"Dr. Mori

I asked you to do such a dangerous thing, and you didn't even tell me. "Ozaki Koiba saw that Douma still didn't understand, and continued: "Do you not believe that I can protect you?"

"Protect...me?" Douma repeated subconsciously.

Ever since he traveled through time, he has either been misunderstood or on the way to being misunderstood. How could someone actually want to protect him?

"Of course, Douma-kun is my direct subordinate, so I will naturally protect you." Ozaki Koyo said as a matter of course, her protective nature fully reflected.

As the one being protected, Douma couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart, and smiled with his two pointed little canine teeth showing.

Then Douma told the whole story from beginning to end, including how the lower-level members he spared insisted on being loyal to him.

After Ozaki Kouyo heard this, her red lips curled up in a subtle arc, and her narrow and beautiful red eyes flickered. She whispered with interest: "If Dr. Mori knew about this, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to sleep."

Although she and Mori Ogai had formed an alliance long before, Ozaki Koyo was also wary of Mori Ogai's cold-bloodedness and ambition to achieve his goals.

Especially since Mori Ogai blatantly used her direct subordinates this time, this behavior of not taking her seriously at all made Ozaki Kouyo want to see Mori Ogai's embarrassed expression.

However, Douma-kun told me about this now, aren't you afraid that I will tell on you? Ozaki Koiyo narrowed her eyes slightly, hiding the fleeting smile inside.

You're so cute, Douma-kun.

Although it is her duty to protect her subordinates, Ozaki Koyo is not a masochist. She will naturally feel happy if her subordinates are grateful to her, and her favorability towards Douma, which is already high, will increase.

However, Douma was unaware of the sudden sympathy that Ozaki Koyo had for him.

Hearing this, he blinked and pretended to be innocent to defend himself: "Since Mr. Mori did not give me an order in person, and the list brought by Dazai Osamu was not the Silver Oracle, then it is completely fine for me to do this."

"Of course, Douma-kun resolved the joint rebellion of two cadre-level officials without damaging the foundation of the port mafia, so he naturally made a great contribution." Ozaki Kouyo just opened her mouth to express her agreement and then showed a thoughtful expression.

Come to think of it, with such a great achievement, it is impossible that Mori Ogai would not reward Douma for it...right? Ozaki Koiyo suddenly became a little uncertain. She paused and assured Douma, "I will personally recommend the credit for you later. Let's go now."

After all, it is a big deal that two cadres are leading the rebellion. It would not be good to delay it for too long. It would be too disrespectful to the new leader, Mori Ogai. Even if what Douma-kun did was to slap Mori Ogai in the face, at least he couldn't skimp on the surface.

Douma understood what Ozaki Kouyo had to say and the protective intention behind it. He smiled and followed her, "Thank you, Sister Kouyo."

When the two men reached the top floor, the door of the chief's office had not yet been closed, and a colonel, one of the five major cadres, followed closely behind them.

The port mafia implements a system of five major cadres, who are the highest-ranking officials under the leader and hold great power.

A cadre position had been vacant at the end of the old leader's reign, and after tonight there were only two cadres left in the Port Mafia. The simultaneous appearance of the only two cadres was something that even the current leader Mori Ougai had to take seriously.

Douma and the opposition fought in the Gangkuro building. The fight made such a big noise that it was impossible for everyone not to notice something unusual. Even if the Gangkuro building had good sound insulation and officers Kobayashi and Hisada had made arrangements in advance, it would not have been possible.

The colonel who rushed to the chief's office received an emergency call from his direct subordinate while he was sleeping at home, which was why he appeared in the chief's office so late.

Douma, the person involved, was a step slower than the colonel officers who immediately set out to return to the organization after receiving the news.

The colonel's loud voice could be heard throughout the entire corridor. The guard at the door responded to Mori Ogu's eye signal and waited for Ozaki Koyo and Douma to enter. Then he lowered his head and closed the door obediently. This was not something he should listen to.

"They are simply committing treason! I came back immediately after receiving the news. I guess the leader has already learned about it." The colonel paced back and forth in the leader's office angrily.

Before Mori Owai could say anything, Ozaki Kouyo took over the colonel's words and agreed at the right time: "That's true. If it weren't for my direct subordinate Douma-kun who noticed it in advance, I don't know how much chaos they would have caused, and they wouldn't have been afraid of being laughed at by outsiders."

Upon hearing this, the colonel, who was upright and loyal, and who did not have many twists and turns in his mind, immediately focused on the only stranger in the room and praised him generously, "Not bad, you single-handedly dealt with two cadres and their subordinates, your strength is quite amazing."

Douma felt a little uncomfortable under the intense gaze of the colonel's officers. He smiled at them awkwardly but politely, and said modestly, "It's too much. They were careless."

Seeing Douma's calm demeanor, the colonel admired the young man even more. He was delighted to see the prey and invited him: "You are very good. Do you want to work for me? It is better than the interrogation and assassination forces under Momiji."

The colonel said this without any shame. In his eyes, the assault troops in charge of frontal attacks were much stronger than the interrogation troops who stayed in the dark all day and the assassination troops who hid their heads and showed their tails.

You know, in the port mafia, most members are unwilling to serve under Ozaki Momiji. One reason is that the nature of the two troops under her command are not very pleasing, and the other unspeakable reason is that men are not willing to be ridden on by a woman.

It is too hard to say that one surrenders to a woman, even if Ozaki Koyo is very strong. This is probably a bad trait that most Japanese men have.

However, Douma, who traveled through time, obviously had no such concerns and even thought that the big sister who protected her children was simply too cool, okay?

As for the torture department that everyone avoids? That's Douma's happy home. The 'free cafeteria' provides the freshest blood food every day. He won't leave even if you chase him away!

"Thank you for your appreciation, but I still think Sister Momiji is the best." Douma shook his head without any hesitation and directly rejected the colonel's invitation.

Ozaki Koyo, who had been watching coldly without making any noise to disturb Douma, just waited for him to make his own decision, then smiled with satisfaction. Like a victor, she gave a provocative glance to the obviously disappointed colonel.

"..." Sen Ouwai, who was ignored the whole time, suddenly had the illusion that he shouldn't be here, but this was clearly his office.

It can only be said that apart from the new leader Mori Owl, who currently has no prestige at all, the respect he can get is a little but not much, which is sad.

For the extremely cunning Mori Ogai, this slight neglect was obviously not enough to change his expression. Even though he was thinking in a thousand different ways, he still had a warm and refreshing smile on his face.

This made the colonel officer who happened to see Mori Owl out of the corner of his eye blush with shame. He felt deeply guilty for being so disregardful of hierarchy that he forgot the existence of the leader and only focused on chatting with his colleagues. It was really wrong.

After spitting on himself in his heart, the colonel turned back with a serious attitude.

, facing Sen Ou who was sitting behind the desk, he bent his waist and apologized respectfully: "I'm sorry, Master, I neglected you unjustly."

Mori Ougai, who is currently selling his boss persona, will naturally not accept this gift.

Mori Ogai stood up from his chair with such a sudden movement that he almost knocked over the black and red wooden chair. He then quickly walked over to the colonel and helped him up.

No matter what Ozaki Kouyo and Douma thought, at least the colonel officers were convinced by Corporal Moriou Gaireken's tactics.

I don't know if it was a coincidence, but among the three people present, only the colonel was not a staunch Mori Yugai faction in the eyes of the outside world, but a die-hard royalist. Only because he abided by the last wishes of the previous leader did the colonel pledge allegiance to the current leader Mori Yugai.

Douma and Ozaki Kouyo, who were the center of the conversation before, suddenly became the background for the harmonious interaction between Mori Ogai and the colonel's officers. The two looked at each other subtly for a moment.

As it was natural, Ozaki Koyo did not get the reaction she wanted from Douma, whose spiritual window was tightly sealed.

Seeing that the pair of beautiful eyes of her direct subordinate, with a gradient of seven colors, were still as calm as ice and still as a well, Ozaki Koyo withdrew her gaze from the communication with great boredom.

Although Douma-kun is very cute, it is not the right person to gossip with. Ozaki Koiyo made another wrong judgment.

Douma, whose signals were totally inconsistent, could only look away in frustration, digesting the complaints that were about to overflow in his heart alone: ​​Mori Ogai's performance was too fake, who would believe the panic pretended by a script crew or a Shinso master? It was too fake!

However, in fact, Mori Oo's main output target: the colonel officers, he believed it!

Having experienced the tyrannical rule of the previous leader, the colonel's eyes turned red with anger, as he had a very low bottom line and was naturally loyal.

Ozaki Kouyo closed her eyes, which were irritated by the heat, and took advantage of their halftime break to interrupt the two grown men's disgusting interaction: "I think business is more important, and we should wait until everything is over to maintain our relationship."

The colonel then remembered that there were people watching, and his face immediately turned red. However, Mori Ougai did not react at all as expected.

Mori Ogai, who still thought that all the lower-level members who participated in the battle were wiped out, smiled calmly: "Hongye-kun is right, business is more important."

Ozaki Kouyo, who was well prepared, immediately said, "Then, regarding Douma-kun's efforts to quell the rebellion of two senior officers and save the organization from turmoil, shouldn't we express our gratitude?"

"Without rules, there will be no order. He deserves a reward." The colonel admired Douma very much and was not stingy in expressing his approval, just giving him some convenience.

The only two executives expressed their opinions, which made Morio, who didn't want to give Douma too many rewards, hesitate for a moment and said nothing.

Ozaki Kouyo, who had figured out something, frowned slightly. Her guess turned out to be true?

With an idea in mind, Ozaki Kouyo directly suggested: "Now, of the five major leaders of the Port Mafia, two have died, leaving only the colonel and I. Since Douma-kun was able to kill two leaders by himself, why not let Douma-kun fill the position?"
