Chapter 99

Although Mori Ogai had already given up on the ugly cadre A and had already labeled him dead in his heart.

But in order to maximize the role of Officer A and help him to tie up more of Douma's energy, Mori Ogai had to take the risk of offending Douma and give him a few more tactful reminders, in case that disappointing guy Officer A accidentally angered Douma and ended up dead.

It wouldn't matter if Mr. A, who always likes to be smart, died, but if it affected his subsequent plans... Thinking of this, Sen Ou lowered his eyelids to cover up the coldness in them.

"Mr. A is one of the five main members of the Port Mafia after all. Please, Douma-kun, be more tolerant of him since we are all one family." As he said this, Mori Ogai's face exposed to the sunlight showed just the right amount of embarrassment, as if he was genuinely worried about the safety of Mr. A.

The performance was so natural that it was impossible to find fault with it. Douma, whose acting skills were almost zero, twitched his lips. He nodded with mixed feelings and agreed, "It's natural. Mr. Mori, don't worry."

Anyway, Douma had no intention of simply and roughly killing Officer A. After all, high-level reserve rations like Officer A's level are not easy to find.

Although Officer A is just a funny guy in "Bunno", and even his position as an officer of the Port Mafia was bought with a lot of money, his special ability is not weak. In fact, Officer A's [Abnormality of the Gem King] can be said to be a very powerful special ability, although it has no combat power.

In this situation, Douma is of course reluctant to hastily get rid of Executive A. It would be too much of a waste for him. Wouldn't it be better to keep him and eat him slowly?

It cannot be said that Mori Ugai did not guess Douma's plan, but no matter how miserable the end of the chess piece Cadre A was, it was obviously not something that the hard-hearted Mori Ugai cared about. He only cared about whether his plan could be implemented smoothly.

But before that, there is a very important test that needs to be carried out, even though the risk of doing so is very high, so high that he could lose everything overnight.

His inner calculations did not cause any deviation in his words and deeds. He quickly put aside the heavy feeling in his heart and picked up the white bone china cup on the tea table with graceful and natural movements. The red tea in the cup looked even more delicious under the bright golden sunlight.

"I was overthinking it. I think Douma-kun already knew the situation." Morio gave a faint smile, then brought the white bone china cup to his lips, lowered his eyes slightly, took a sip of the warm and fragrant tea, and maximized his harmless demeanor.

When humans eat, their brains relax. The forest gull uses this to show weakness to its predator, exposing its vulnerable throat to the predator's sight.

Yes, although Mori Gugai does not know the secret that Douma is not a human but a cannibal, in the mind of Mori Gugai, who is a carnivore, it is no surprise that a monster like Douma who has no human emotions and cannot empathize with his own kind can be classified as a predator.

Not to mention, as far as anyone outside Morio knows, Douma cannot eat human food due to the side effects of his special abilities, and instead needs to rely on human blood to survive. Such a person with special abilities is considered a vigilant alien even in the international community.

In the atmosphere where everything was just right, Mori Ogai drank tea leisurely while quietly activating his special ability [Vita Sexualis].

The next second, a small figure quietly appeared in the leader's office, which was originally occupied by only Mori Ogai and Douma. The owner of that figure, Alice, appeared behind Douma in broad daylight.

It stands to reason that if someone suddenly appeared behind Douma, even if Alice appeared instantly with the help of her special ability, Douma, who was using the shell of Upper Rank 2, should have noticed it.

But here comes the problem. Alice is not a human, she is a humanoid with special abilities.

As a humanoid with special abilities, Alice does not have real flesh and blood, so Douma cannot quickly detect her sudden appearance. Just like Dazai Osamu who cheated with [No Longer Human]. Their own uniqueness unexpectedly restrains Douma's excellent perception that comes from the cannibal.

It is because of this that when Douma's ears catch

When he heard the wind and judged that someone was attacking him, Alice, who was wearing a nurse's uniform and had empty eyes, hit him heavily on the lower back like a cannonball.

This unexpectedly powerful blow made Douma unable to keep his balance. He staggered forward a step, unexpectedly leaving the shadow's range and entering the absolute realm of sunlight.

At that time, Douma was just one step away from dying on the spot.

Fortunately, his powerful leg strength resisted the inertia from behind him, and with conscious force, Douma's feet sank into the floor visibly, which narrowly stopped his body from leaning forward and prevented himself from diving into the sunlight and being burned into ashes.

However, even though Douma escaped the tragic end of being burned to ashes, it does not mean that he did not suffer any harm.

The specially made sun-proof shirt effectively blocked most of the sunlight that was enough to kill Douma, but unfortunately a ray of sunlight still penetrated through the gap of the shirt's raised collar and mercilessly burned Douma's collarbone.

Well, this brand is very vivid.

Almost in an instant, Douma's fair and distinct clavicle skin turned black and carbonized due to contact with the sunlight, and the flesh and bones under the skin also completely necrotized in an instant.

If Douma had not stopped his forward leaning in time and taken a step back at a speed beyond the reach of the naked eye to avoid the sunlight that burned his collarbone, the sunlight that hurt the ogre Max would have burned a hole in Douma's body.

By then, Douma's weakness of being afraid of sunlight will inevitably be completely exposed to the old fox Mori Ougai.

If it weren't for the fact that the shell of the Upper Rank Two had not been very obedient, Douma would have probably broken out in a cold sweat on the spot, and would have been aware of the abnormality by Mori Ougi, who was staring at him.

Frightened, Douma only felt a familiar yet unfamiliar pain coming from his collarbone, which disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only an even more unbearable itching sensation at the injured area. He could even feel that his skin and flesh, which had been charred by the sun, were recovering and growing at an incredible speed.

Without even looking at it, Douma knew that the scene would be terrible.

Everything happened in an instant. Douma was silently injured by the sunlight and then recovered. The time interval was extremely short. At least when Alice looked up and hugged his waist after her eyes had regained their spirit, she found nothing.

Not only Alice, who was short in stature, but also Mori Ogre, who was sitting on a chair not far away and pretending nothing had happened, did not see the strange scene of Douma's collarbone being injured and then recovering in an instant because of the angle.

The test was successful, but it also seemed that it was not successful. To sum up, Sen Ou's test was in vain.

Alice, who was hugging Douma's waist tightly, looked up with an innocent look in her eyes and said in an innocent voice: "Douma-san, can you play with me? I miss you so much!"

The little girl's soft and sweet coquettish voice was heard incessantly. Alice relied on her age and appearance to rub against the boy's tight waist without any hesitation, skillfully using her own advantages to try to explain the previous attack as a child's play.

Douma lowered his head upon hearing the voice and met Alice's starry eyes.

After all, Douma, who had been tempered by Sesame Dumpling and Yumeno Hisasaku, was only bewitched by the little girl's harmless appearance for a second before he came to his senses. After all, a truly harmless little girl could not have the strength to break a person's waist.

If Douma's body wasn't made of steel, it would be strange if an ordinary person came over and the force of Alice's impact didn't break his waist.

Thinking of this, Douma reached out his hand with a strange look on his face to support his waist which had been hit hard. Fortunately, it was not broken. His mood became particularly complicated, and he could say the words of refusal without mercy: "...No, go play by yourself, my brother is busy."

Then, Douma ruthlessly tore Alice off from his body.

To be honest, he didn't really want to know whether the core of Alice, who was acting coquettishly at the moment, was a simulated personality of Alice herself or Mori Ougai, who could already be called an uncle.

In order to prevent himself from uncovering any terrible secrets, Douma forced himself not to think about it any further and focused on Alice's sudden attack.

My heart couldn't stop sinking.

Although Douma already knew that his situation was extremely dangerous on the set of "Bungo Stray Dogs" which was filled with several script crews, he didn't expect Mori Ogai to notice that something was wrong so quickly.

Temptation comes too fast, like a tornado.jpg

Douma is no longer the same person as before. Even though he is determined to be a salary thief who lives a life of idleness and waiting for death, the life in the port mafia has already shaped him into a different person.

For example, now, Douma knows clearly what he should do to fool Mori Ougai.

It is impossible to fall out with each other, so we can only downplay the matter and not pursue it.

Given how cunning Mori Ogai is, since he dared to take the risk to test his weakness today, even if it is a possible weakness, he would definitely be fully prepared, otherwise it would be unfair to Hei Shizai who was badly tricked by Mori Ogai in the original work.

Therefore, Douma knew with his knees that his plan to kill Morio who seemed to have guessed his weakness and was testing him on the spot would not work at all, and would instead expose the fact that he was afraid of the sunlight.

These script writers who are too greedy usually take one step and look a hundred steps ahead.

Morio, who took in all the details, suppressed his disappointment and, like a qualified parent, stood up and pulled Alice, who had suddenly become clingy, away from Douma. He also apologized on behalf of the child, "I'm sorry, Alice was too playful. Douma-kun, is your waist okay?"

"?" Douma was confused, and he had obviously forgotten the action of supporting his waist just now.

Mori Ogai was also eager to get over the fact that Alice attacked Douma. The smile on his face became strange, and he deliberately turned to the topic that men absolutely could not tolerate: "Douma-kun, please don't be so stubborn. A man's waist cannot be injured."

“…My waist is fine!”

Well, this is the final stubbornness of someone who has been single since birth and will most likely remain single forever.
