Chapter 9 The First Player
"Thank you so much. If it weren't for your help, I might never see my lovely little Alice again... I never thought there would be such a kind person like you in Yokohama. Please accept this!"
The middle-aged man with medium-length black hair and wearing a white coat excitedly held Asahina Kazuma's hand and tried hard to hand the thing in his hand to Asahina Kazuma. His red eyes were full of emotion, but Asahina Kazuma, whose hand he held, showed a rare look of embarrassment and shyness.
Next to the two of them, Morobushi Kagemitsu was half-bending over and talking to a little girl who looked about eleven or twelve years old. His face, which usually deliberately appeared rather gloomy, cold and unapproachable, now looked much gentler.
"Hey, doctor, why did you come here? Haha, I should help with that, but you don't need to do this..."
Asahina Kazuma said this, trying to push back the thing that was forced into her hand, looking embarrassed.
The man he called "doctor" looked at him in surprise, then suddenly realized something and showed an embarrassed expression: "You think this gift is too light? Ah, sorry, I'm really sorry, but my family is poor and I don't have anything valuable. I'm sorry to make you laugh..."
He had obvious dark circles under his eyes, and not only did he look unshaved, his hair was a little messy, and his white coat looked like it had been changed and washed many times. Combined with what he said, he looked like a typical poor, decadent middle-aged man.
Asahina Kazuma took a step back like a cat whose tail was stepped on when she heard that, shaking her head frantically: "No no no, I mean I don't need anything..."
He looked for help at Morobushi Kagemitsu who was standing beside him, but Morobushi Kagemitsu tilted his head as if trying to hold back a smile, then waved his hand slightly at him and silently made the shape of his mouth that said "I can't help you".
Unfortunately, I didn’t bring my camera with me.
Zhufu Jingguang thought with regret that he should have taken a picture of this scene and sent it to Zero when he came back.
Little Loli standing next to them snorted in a very arrogant manner and frowned: "It's all because Rintaro is so useless!"
Unlike the "doctor" whose attire was so simple that it looked even shabby, she wore a very beautiful red dress, had blonde hair and blue eyes, and looked as delicate and cute as a doll.
The "doctor" smiled bitterly, feeling extremely ashamed: "Oh, even Alice-chan said so, I am really too bad..."
The black-haired middle-aged man had a depressed look on his face, the young girl had her hands on her hips with a look of contempt, and two tall young men, one of them looked around at a loss with embarrassment, while the other seemed to be trying not to laugh and watching the excitement.
This was the scene that Saikai Haruto saw when he opened the door.
He couldn't help but be silent for a while, then said "sorry for disturbing you" and was about to close the door again.
"No, no, no, don't bother me, Jundu, you're just in time!"
When she saw his figure, Asahina Kazuma's eyes immediately lit up. She put down the things in her hands and quickly ran over to grab him as if she had seen a savior.
Nishimi Haruto looked at Asahina Kazuma, then at Morobushi Kagemitsu who had restrained his expression, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly and asked, "So... who of you two can tell me what's going on?"
"Well, it's nothing, actually..."
Asahina Kazuma looked at him guiltily, rolled her eyes, and whispered, "Actually, I lost my phone yesterday, and on my way back to look for it, Bourbon and I accidentally ran into someone robbing and kidnapping children, and then we ran into this doctor calling for help, and the other party thought we were in the same group, and then a fight started..."
Xi Haiqing Dou smiled and asked gently: "And then?"
"Well, then, we beat him up, and then rescued the little girl. I didn't expect him to come here today..."
Nishimi Haruto's expression was gentle, but Asahina Kazuma's voice became lower and lower, and his expression became more and more guilty.
It was really unexpected that he and Rei Furutani witnessed the kidnapping and robbery that happened on the streets of Yokohama yesterday.
As the inner public security and policeman (even though he was fake), the other side might think that they were easy to bully, so they took the initiative to bump into them. In this case, they naturally chose to beat them up.
As a result, after rescuing the person, when he saw the "doctor" and his "daughter", Asahina Kazuma reacted - such a combination, and in Yokohama, this might be Mori Ogai and his psychic Alice! As a result, he asked again, and it turned out to be true!
So when facing the "poor old father doctor", Asahina Kazuma couldn't help but chat with him a little excitedly and a little nervously... He didn't expect that Mori Ougai would find here today.
"You are Asahina-kun's boss, Mr. Kundo, right?"
The black-haired doctor looked at Saikai Haruto with bright eyes and said with a smile: "My last name is Mori, my given name is Ougai, and this is my beloved daughter, Alice. Alice was almost kidnapped by a gangster last night. Fortunately, Asahina-kun and Amuro-kun helped me, otherwise I would have lost Alice forever, and I would not be able to live!"
As he spoke, his voice even became choked up and he looked like he was about to cry.
The little girl called "Alice" looked at him with disdain, her cheeks puffed up: "Stupid Rintaro, if you cry, I won't want you anymore!"
She looks like a spoiled and willful young lady, but because she is so cute, no one can get angry with her no matter what.
Mori Gu screamed miserably: "Eh? Alice, don't do it——"
Saikai Haruto looked at Asahina Kazuma with a subtle expression: "So you and Amuro went out to 'help others' yesterday, and left your address?"
He even emphasized the words “helping others for pleasure”, as if questioning – do the two of them still remember that they are members of the organization?
He glanced at Zhufu Jingguang again: "You also know about this?"
Zhu Fu Jingguang shook his head, his tone calm, but he quickly distanced himself from the two of them: "I didn't go out last night, and I only found out about it when I met Dr. Mori when I came here today."
"Mr. Kundo, please don't blame Asahina-kun. I guessed the address from Asahina-kun and Amuro-kun's conversation. After all, there are only a few large hotels nearby."
Mori Ogai looked at Saikai Haruto with sincerity, and then handed the things in his hand to him, "It's a pity that I have nothing, so I can only thank Asahina-kun and Amuro-kun for their help in this way."
Saikai Haruto took it, opened it, and inevitably fell into the same silence as Asahina Kazuma - Mori Ogai actually gave Asahina Kazuma a very formal-looking thank-you letter, which even had his and Furuya Rei's last names on it.
Mori Ogai said with a smile: "Asahina-kun and Amuro-kun not only helped me, but also saved many other children. When they took those criminals to the nearby police station last night, the police officers also admired your efforts, so when I mentioned it, I decided to give you this award certificate without hesitation to show my appreciation."
Xi Hai Qing Dou glanced at Mori Ogai, put away the award certificate, and chuckled, saying softly, "Since Dr. Mori said so, I will accept it for both of them. Since both of them are doing good things, how can I criticize them?"
Of course he wouldn't blame the players... Not only would he not blame them, he actually wanted to give the players a banner.
Not only can I meet Mori Owl just by going out, but I can also bring Furuya Rei with me... What kind of luck is this, like winning the lottery!
Asahina and Makoto wailed in their hearts - they were members of the Black Organization, was it appropriate for them to accept a reward from the police? Especially since it was delivered by Mori Owl, they couldn't accept it!
Unfortunately, although Cointreau looked very gentle, he instinctively did not dare to speak up and let Cointreau reject Moriou directly. Cointreau must be angry, right? Scary!
He turned his gaze to Morobushi Kagemitsu, who nodded slightly to him, signaling him to keep silent and do nothing. Asahina Kazuma also had no choice but to follow suit and keep quiet.
"That's good." Mori Ouwai breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "You gentlemen don't look like you are from Yokohama. Are you here for tourism? I am not very knowledgeable, but I know the terrain around Yokohama relatively well. If you want to know more about some attractions here, just contact me."
Saikai Haruto's smile was just as natural and brilliant: "That's not necessary. We are not locals in Yokohama, but we are here on a business trip and will be going back in two days. We are so busy with work that we don't have much free time to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Yokohama. I'm afraid that will disappoint Dr. Mori."
Alice walked past Morofushi Kagemitsu with her skirt lifted up, and stopped in front of Saikai Haruto, with an innocent and curious look on her face: "Big brother is so handsome! Is big brother sick?"
"Alice! Don't be so rude."
Mori Ogai called her lightly, then handed her a business card with a worried look, "Mr. Cointreau doesn't look very well... Although I am not a skilled doctor, I graduated from the University of Tokyo and am currently a doctor. If you need anything, Mr. Cointreau can also contact me."
Xi Haiqingdou raised his hand to take the business card, half bent down and touched Alice's hair with a smile: "It's okay, Miss Alice is very cute. With such a cute daughter, it doesn't matter if she is a little bit frivolous. I have had this disease for many years, and my health has improved a lot now. But thank you in advance, Dr. Mori, I will consider it if I have time."
He smiled and said, "I also wish Dr. Mori's business will continue to grow, and he won't encounter things like last night again. After all, Yokohama is still very dangerous every day, and Asahina and the others won't always appear by chance, Dr. Mori, don't you agree?"
Mori Ogai smiled in the same tone, "Ah, of course. Mr. Cointreau, please rest assured that things like what happened last night are rare even in Yokohama."
"Oh, by the way, Mr. Mori, it's already this late, are you still going to work? Oh, it's all my fault for forgetting the time, you won't be late, will you? How about I give you a ride?"
Asahina Kazuma looked at Saikai Haruto and Mori Ogai, and finally couldn't help but interrupt their conversation. He always felt that the atmosphere between the two of them was a little strange...
"Where does Mr. Mori work? I'll take you there."
"No, no, no."
Mori Ogai regained his somewhat exaggerated look of surprise, and waved his hands in fear at Asahina Kazuma: "No, no, how can we let our benefactor come to see us off? Don't worry, Asahina-kun, my workplace is not far from here, and we'll be there soon."
Asahina Kazuma left with Mori Ogai, and Morobushi Kagemitsu followed them. Saikai Haruto looked at their backs and couldn't help but sigh to the system: [System, see, I told you, didn't I? Players are the most special and free. ]
