Chapter 52
It's not that his will is not firm, it's just that Shibuzawa Ryuhiko gave him too much. Douma's bottom line was gradually lowered without realizing it, thinking: It's just the title of "Son of God", it's not a big deal.
While Douma was trying to convince himself, Shibuzawa Ryuhiko saw that Douma was unmoved and mistakenly thought that Douma was not going to accept his offer. He sold out his plastic ally without thinking: "The mastermind behind this Dragon War is Fyodor."
Douma, who suddenly heard the news, looked up at Shibuzawa Ryuhiko who sold out his teammates without any guilt, and couldn't help but be speechless: "..."
The ellipsis perfectly reflects Douma's mood at the moment. Although, your relationship must be so plastic, can you just sell it when your teammates say so? You make it hard for me to believe your sincerity, okay?
Shibuzawa Ryuhiko was unable to tell Douma's thoughts, as he thought Douma was waiting for him to reveal more information. He continued to tell his teammates, "Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky is a Russian, the founder of the internationally notorious 'Rat of the Dead House'. He is the one behind everything that has happened in Yokohama recently."
"Oh." Douma suppressed the complaints in his heart and uttered a word slowly. Seeing the rare doubt in Shibuzawa Ryuhiko's beautiful eyes, he couldn't help but explain: "I know about this."
A beautiful lady always has privileges, doesn't she? Especially when she has long white hair!
Hearing Douma's answer, the doubt in Shibuzawa Ryuhiko's eyes immediately disappeared and became hot again. The corners of his mouth curled up in a somewhat strange arc, and he couldn't help laughing in his throat. After a long time, he said: "Of course... Of course, how could His Highness the Son of God not know, you should know everything."
Douma couldn't bear it anymore and looked away, trying his best not to meet Shibuzawa Ryuhiko's abnormally hot gaze.
The beautiful white-haired beauty is good in every way, except that she is a little too "passionate". It would be better if she could be more normal and not brainwash herself into a xie cultist. This is what the xie cult leader, Miko Douma, himself thinks.
And from the perspective of Shibuzawa Ryuhiko, Douma's reaction of looking away meant that the 'Son of God' was not satisfied with his behavior and was too lazy to even look at him.
Shibuzawa Ryuhiko was a little irritated and put away his smile. He apologized in a depressed mood: "I'm sorry, I'm too useless and couldn't help you solve your problem."
"No, it's nothing." Douma had long been prepared for the reactions of these self-brainwashed believers, and was already quite sadly indifferent to it. He followed Shibuzawa Ryuhiko's words and turned to the culprit of the Dragon War: "Ryuhiko, can you help me get someone out?"
As expected, he was more interested in Fyodor, who was stirring up trouble behind the scenes, rather than Shibuzawa Tatsuhiko, whose stock had already been emptied. It was time to end the war of leaders that had plunged the entire Yokohama into panic.
Douma's expression didn't change at all as he thought this, but the considerate Shibuzawa Ryuhiko already understood what Douma wanted to do.
"I'm happy to help you." Shibuzawa Ryuhiko nodded meaninglessly, with the curve of his mouth remaining in place, and he was obviously in a very happy mood.
For Shibuzawa Tatsuhiko, who doesn't consider anyone a friend, Fyodor is not a true ally.
The relationship between the two can only be described as a convenient tool for mutual use. After all, Fyodor wanted to be the chess player behind the scenes, and his intention to use him as a chess piece was never concealed from the beginning to the end.
"Thank you." Douma thanked him generously. With Shibuzawa Ryuhiko's proactive assistance, many things became easier.
Afterwards, Shibuzawa Ryuhiko retracted the [Ryuhiko Gate] at Douma's signal, and the two returned to the normal space gate.
The first thing Douma did after the signal was restored was to take out his cell phone to contact people to catch Fyodor, who was secretly causing trouble in Yokohama, as soon as possible. It had to be quick, because with the sharpness of Fyodor's script team, they would probably notice something was wrong and run away soon.
In order to prevent Fyodor from escaping, Douma thought about it and decided to contact his subordinates and then call Dazai Osamu. After all, it would be safer to let Dazai Osamu, who is also a script team, deal with Fyodor than for him who is just an "ordinary person".
But before pressing the dial button, Douma paused, because he suddenly remembered that it would be impolite to contact Dazai Osamu directly for such an important matter. He meant that it would be impolite to contact Mori Ogai, the leader of the port mafia.
After all, Mori Ogai is their boss. It was indeed a bit too much for him to contact Dazai Osamu directly without going through Mori Ogai. It was very disrespectful to the leader.
Douma, who knew how to correct his mistakes, called Mori Ougai instead, told him all his plans and waited quietly for Mori Ougai's instructions.
Respected but also seemed disrespected.
"..." Mori Ouwai could only remain silent as he listened to Douma arranging everything clearly on the phone. It was obvious that his subordinates were able to solve everything, but he felt a little uncomfortable.

Douma waited for a while but Mori Oo did not speak. He looked at his phone in confusion, wondering if it was broken or the signal was bad. He asked hesitantly, "Mr. Mori, are you listening?"
"Ah, just do as Douma-kun says." There was nothing wrong with Mori Ogai's tone, but the pair of purple-red eyes hidden in the shadows had clearly grown darker, as if a terrible storm would break out at any moment.
When the black-hearted fox Mori Ogai really starts to doubt a person's loyalty, he will not let the other party notice that something is wrong. Therefore, Mori Ogai looked stern but spoke in a soft and gentle tone. He chuckled and encouraged Douma for a few words before hanging up the phone naturally.
In the dimly lit office of the chief, besides Mori Owl, there was another 'living person', Alice, who was quietly lying on the carpet, scribbling on the drawing paper. Everything seemed so peaceful and tranquil.
But if people saw what Alice drew, probably no one would find this scene warm and heartwarming at all.
On the snow-white drawing paper, there was an abstract little man with broken arms, legs and head. Alice manipulated the ominous red crayon, which represented blood, to add one terrifying red scratch after another to the snow-white drawing paper.
Alice finished her work, picked up the drawing paper with satisfaction and admired it for a while, then stood up and ran to Mori Ogai's side, tugged at the corner of Mori Ogai's clothes, and when Mori Ogai looked at her, she raised her starry eyes full of expectation: "Rintaro, isn't my drawing super beautiful?"
Mori Ogai lowered his head and looked patiently at Alice's horrifying painting. From the colorful eyes on the severed head, he could clearly tell that the identity of this abstract little man was Douma.
After seeing this cursed painting, Mori Ogai did not show any surprise on his face. Instead, he showed an exaggerated smile and praised in a cheesy way: "This work is full of artistic atmosphere. Alice-chan is the best!"
The warm interaction between the man and Loli hides Mori Oo's true thoughts deep in his heart.
Alice is a humanoid with special abilities created by Mori Gugai's special ability [Vita Sexualis]. Although she has self-awareness, she is also the embodiment of Mori Gugai's will. Therefore, the person who wants Douma to die is not Alice, but Mori Gugai.
It has been more than two years since Mori Ougai officially took over the Port Mafia. Although his position has always been unstable due to his illegitimate position, his control over the Port Mafia is not loose to the point that he is completely unaware of the undercurrents below. Many of Douma's actions have crossed the line.
Douma: ...Is it possible that I didn't do those things that crossed the line? It was all because of the people under me brainwashing themselves.
Douma, who was busy contacting Dazai Osamu outside to set a trap for Fyodor, was unaware of this, because in his heart, although Mori Ogai was a despicable leader, he was not so petty as to not tolerate a slacker like him.
Because he is neither the Flag Association who is too young and talented and likes to stick together to attract attention, nor is he the 18-year-old Dazai Osamu who is so sharp that even Mori Ogu feels pressured. Therefore, it is impossible for Mori Ogu to be the target of excluding dissidents, hahahahahahahahahahaha……
Douma, whose self-positioning is somewhat distorted, blindly and confidently forgets the scumbag leader Mori Ogai, and happily joins forces with Dazai Osamu to set a trap for Fyodor, who is particularly good at making trouble.
"Take your men and ambush nearby..." Dazai Osamu, who was still a teenager, commanded a group of strong men in black suits who were a head taller than him or even taller. He said in a light tone: "Remember to wait for my signal and don't expose yourself in advance."
Hearing Dazai Osamu's casual tone, the group of men in black suits who looked intimidating to outsiders were frightened and bowed their heads in fear and trepidation, not daring to resist in any way.
Although Dazai Osamu has not been a member of the Port Mafia for very long, his terrifying abilities quickly made him famous within the organization. Therefore, contrary to his age, Dazai Osamu has a lot of prestige in the Port Mafia, or it can be said that many people are afraid of him.
Seeing this scene, Douma was almost jealous to death.
Recently, he is startled by people's fiery gazes wherever he goes. Douma expresses that he can't bear the love of his subordinates. Only those who have experienced it know how it feels to be stared at by a muscular man with fiery eyes.
Hey, we are all adults, can't we calm down a little? Don't act like mafia members.
Douma: pointing and gesturing.jpg
Three-fifths of the lower-level members of the Port Mafia have already defected and have hidden their achievements and fame.
Dazai Osamu glanced at Douma, who was standing aside and acting cool, and narrowed his eyes in displeasure. This man pushed all the things to him, and he just sat back and did nothing? Ha, how is that possible.
Dazai Osamu, who had become famous in the inner world as the Double Black in a short period of time, sneered and gave up the idea of calling on his own enemy partner.
Since Douma is here, there is no need to ask Chuuya to come over for military support. He thinks it is good enough for him to be responsible for capturing Douma this time. To be honest, he has never seen Douma take action.
Thinking of this, Dazai Osamu's mouth curled up slightly.
Douma, who was slacking off on the side, sneezed and was shocked to think of a serious question in his heart: Can ghosts sneeze?
