Chapter 122 Occasions in Yokohama Yokohama Specialties:
"So this is the texture of Mafia clothes..."
"The gun's structure is more sophisticated than I thought."
"Could this bald guy also be..."
Umetaro Nozaki was overjoyed. The cartoonist's passion for the material overcame his nervousness in facing the mafia.
The bald mafia wearing sunglasses: "Hey! Don't take other people's characteristics as your group impression!"
Until the Black Lizard received the mission and set off, Umetaro Nozaki had spent a fruitful morning.
As the centurion leader of the Black Lizards, Guangjin Liulang once again took on the responsibility of finishing the job.
"Haha, it's not really a hassle. Occasionally, young people chatting with us is a nice experience."
Guangjin Liulang had a slight smile on his face, not a strong one, and one could vaguely feel the restraint that matched his temperament.
"You're welcome to bring friends over later," the older man said tolerantly, showing no sign of displeasure at being interrupted. His calm gaze swept calmly over the person behind him, "—as long as he's not visiting as the King of Sheep."
ah……
The disguise was seen through.
Following Umetaro Nozaki, walking on the streets of Yokohama, the player suddenly realized that it would be safer to put on a skirt.
Nakahara Chuuya, who was completely unaware of this and was being harassed by the gangster, was kicking the man into the wall with a fierce grin.
With a loud bang, the gangster couldn't get up again.
The player was puzzled as to why the passerby who had approached him didn't notice.
Nozaki Umetaro's pupils trembled as he slowly and dully recounted what he had seen: "A grown man, flew out like a hockey puck..."
"Ah," Zhongyuan Zhongya replied nonchalantly. Considering he was currently the client entrusted to the player, he patiently explained to the shocked young man, "My ability is related to gravity. You should be familiar with the concept of a psychic."
Although I am aware of the need to avoid causing trouble to my friends, I cannot explain the principles in a nice and gentle manner to people I am not familiar with.
Nozaki Umetaro had no intention of asking further questions, and just kept repeating words like "gravity" and "superpower" in a slightly curious manner.
"So, does Ms. Fushimi also have... special abilities?" Umetaro Nozaki asked curiously.
The player poked at the unlit "Special Ability" behind the Special Ability item on the game panel and said gravely, "Hmm... It's similar to Chuuya's. Both are gravity."
"Huh?" Zhong Yuanzhong couldn't help but look over.
Fushimi Kyoji then demonstrated his 'superpower' to them:
——"I love you the most! We want to be lifelong friends, forever and ever!"
Nakahara Chuuya was speechless and said, "Tsk, you just make people feel emotionally heavy."
Hey!
"Mr. Nozaki, what did you learn today?" the player asked the cartoonist about his progress.
Nozaki Umetaro still had that calm expression: "Ah, I have some basic understanding of the Mafia..."
Hearing the hesitation in his tone, the player moved closer, waiting for what was to come.
Umetaro Nozaki showed the players some of his previous sketches: "I don't have a specific idea for the heroine's setting yet."
"Huh!?" Nakahara Chuuya was incredulous. He swiftly kicked the thug who woke up and tried to launch a sneak attack, knocking him unconscious. Without even looking at his feet, he questioned Nozaki Umetaro, "You haven't even decided on the protagonist, and you came to Yokohama alone?"
Nozaki Umetaro didn't seem to be listening. He stared blankly, his voice coming closer and farther away, unintelligible. "If the heroine was set as someone with special abilities, I wonder if it would be more popular with readers."
"Perhaps it's more important for the protagonist of a girls' comic to have a likable personality?" the player suggested uncertainly.
Umetaro Nozaki pondered over the draft paper.
It was at this time that Zhongyuanzhong proposed separation.
"I probably won't be able to go out with you tomorrow," he said.
The player tilted his head blankly, speculating, "Is it related to the Port Mafia?"
"That's part of the reason," the ochre-haired boy said pertinently.
Although he and the player are friends, he is a member of the 'Sheep' after all, and frequent contact with members of the Port Mafia is best avoided.
"...You've done a lot to repair the relationship between me and 'Sheep'."
A warm smile appeared on Nakahara Chuuya's face, and his pure cobalt blue eyes were filled with brightness.
“So, I also want to work harder.”
…
The position left vacant by Nakahara Chuuya's absence was quickly filled by Edogawa Ranpo, who casually pointed at the rust-red-haired man who was talking to Fukuzawa Yukichi.
"Oda, go and talk to Fushimi." The famous detective said to the man as he adjusted his cloak and prepared to go out to solve the case.
Fukuzawa Yukichi bowed his head slightly, probably to apologize for the tone in which he gave orders to his own child as a matter of course.
Fushimi Kyoji openly observed the strangers traveling with him. They had somewhat mature looks, calm eyes, or rather... a look of being out of context?
"Is Mr. Oda an employee of the detective agency?"
For example, when hearing a player ask this question, a puzzled look appeared on his face: "Why do you think so?"
"Hmm... Ranpo ordered you around naturally, and Oda-san agreed naturally?"
Oda Sakunosuke shook his head. "The detective agency's president once bailed me out of jail. I'm helping out as much as I can just to repay him."
"Hmm... I see." The player said, understanding. "So, Mr. Oda is... the Port Mafia?"
The opponent showed no intention of hiding the double guns on his waist.
It doesn't feel right...
"I used to be a killer," the man explained honestly, not believing it was something he needed to hide. "Then I met someone who made me want to put down my gun and stop being a killer."
"Well, what about now?"
Oda Sakunosuke: "Still a killer."
Fushimi Kyoki: ...
Why not just say it was always a killer?
"I've thought about quitting killing, but I'm not good at anything else besides killing," Oda Sakunosuke said calmly. "If I give up my job as a killer, I might end up spending the next month sleeping on a roadside bench."
“So, I’m still killing people.”
"If they die, I can live."
It's a completely dark statement about reality!
"Wow, have you ever considered becoming a writer?"
Oda Sakunosuke's eyes lit up slightly: "Do you think I can do it?"
Fushimi Kyoji pondered, "But being a writer in Yokohama is easy to starve to death."
The newspaper's most popular "Moe Ai" writer is right next to them, and it is obvious that girls' comics have nothing to do with literature.
The Yokohama literary world is in complete darkness!
There was no change in the expression on Oda Sakunosuke's face, but one could subtly sense the other person's loss.
ah.
No matter how slow he is, one can tell from Oda Sakunosuke's reaction that he has a passion for writing.
It turns out that he wanted to put down the gun and pick up the pen.
When asked by players why he wanted to be a writer, the taciturn man remained silent for quite a long time.
——It was so long that Fushimi Kyoji thought he would not answer.
A brief look of confusion flashed across the face of Oda Sakunosuke, who looked older than his actual age.
"It's not that I'm not suited to the job of a killer, nor do I feel pained or bored with killing." He organized his words and spoke slowly.
"On the contrary, I'm very good at assassination. ...Like a good, sharp knife or other handy tool, I don't mix unnecessary emotions into the mission."
He didn't continue talking about his killer career: "This is what originally made me want to write something."
"No one wants to know what a knife is thinking."
“…”
The conversation about the ideal career was brief, and leaving the client alone was definitely not recommended.
I looked at the time and it was almost noon, so the problem of where to have lunch became urgent.
Oda Sakunosuke uttered an "ah": "If you don't have any particular preferences, then I would..."
"Mr. Oda!"
Oda Sakunosuke stood up straight after being interrupted. Fushimi Kyoji was very disappointed: "Meng Ye teacher came to Yokohama to collect materials, so the first thing he must do is to select specialties that represent Yokohama."
It is best to mention the degree of binding that immediately brings to mind 'Yokohama'.
"Ah, that's right." Oda Sakunosuke woke up from his dream after the player's reminder.
"So, Yokohama's must-try specialty food is..."
Player: "Take the bullet!"
Nozaki Umetaro: Are you serious...
