Chapter 148: Are there any normal people in Yokohama?
"you……"
Nakahara Chuuya, who came to report to Mori Ogai, saw the players, Oguri Mushitaro, Black Lizard and others stealthily blocking the door of the leader's office, and he asked suspiciously.
"What are you all doing here?"
Upon hearing Chuuya Nakahara's voice, the Black Lizard members instantly stood up straight and replied subconsciously, not forgetting to lower their voices: "Master Nakahara."
"The leader is talking to someone from the Special Ability Special Agents Department."
Nakahara Chuuya nodded in understanding: "So?"
It's totally like eavesdropping.
"If the Special Ability Division acts against the leader, we can immediately discover it and break in to protect the leader's safety."
Nakahara Chuuya accepted this explanation, but was still confused by the crowd of people crowding in front of the door. "Did you find that they had any intention of harming the leader?"
The player turned his head through the crack in the door and answered carefully, "Not yet, but Mr. Mori has been talking to the other party for fifteen minutes, and we heard it clearly."
Just eavesdropping!
"Would you like to join us?" the player invited him.
"Haaa, who wants to..." Nakahara Chuuya instinctively felt uncomfortable with the idea of eavesdropping on the leader and immediately refused. However, Oguri Mushitaro, who was listening intently, became impatient with their conversation and pulled him over to them, "Stop making noise and be quiet."
The player moved aside to make room for Chuuya Nakahara.
Half-forced by the people around him to squat in front of the door, Zhongyuan Chuuya was forced to compromise for fear of making any noise and being discovered by the people inside.
Through the gap in the door, one could see Mori Ogai talking to a man of similar age. Next to him stood a figure that Nakahara Chuuya found vaguely familiar, with his back to the door, so his face could not be seen.
The conversation between Mori Ogai and the other party seemed to have come to an end. At least Nakahara Chuuya could only hear small talk that did not involve official business.
"Haha, Chief Taneda is interested in this?" Mori Ogai waved the book in his hand at him, lowering his eyes and smiling meaningfully. "This is a best-selling novel that's been all over the Port Mafia lately. It's a mystery novel about a locked-room murder."
“…”
Nakahara Chuuya had no idea what the man called 'Chief Farmer' said in response. The people on his left and right whispered:
"Move aside." Oguri Mushitaro pressed on his head, trying to push him down and get closer to hear the conversation between the people inside.
The player also peeked through the crack of the door curiously: "What was said? What was said?"
"Hey... stop pushing me!"
Nakahara Chuuya tried to resist the guys who were approaching him without any restraint from both sides, but it was not easy to do without using gravity.
During the stalemate between the two sides, it was unclear who was defeated first, and the half-closed door was accidentally pushed open, making a "bang" sound.
Nakahara Chuuya swore that Mori Ogai must have heard the noise, and the voices of the people talking inside gradually disappeared.
Just as he was at a loss, debating whether to come forward and admit to such a shameful act of eavesdropping, the player stepped forward and said to the leader's office: "Lord Zhongyuan, what are you doing here?"
“!”
As soon as these words came out, Nakahara Chuuya was stunned, Black Lizard and others were shocked, and Oguri Mushitaro also showed fear and stepped back to keep a distance from the players: "...I am getting more and more afraid of you."
"Come in, Chuuya-kun." Mori Ogai's calm voice came from inside.
Nakahara Chuuya made a threatening gesture to the group of people next to him, then calmed down, pushed the door open and walked in.
The player volunteered: "I know a little bit of sign language!"
Fushimi Kyoji carefully replicated the gesture Nakahara Chuuya had made, putting his index and middle fingers together and swiping them from the left side of his neck to the right: "This gesture means... you're dead!"
"You don't even need to tell me that!"
Cold sweat broke out on Oguri Mushitaro's face. Before he could figure out a way to survive from Nakahara Chuuya, he heard another life-threatening call.
"Is Mushi-kun outside? Come in too." Mori Ogai asked in a gentle voice, as if he knew everything.
Oguri Mushitaro looked as pale as death and followed Nakahara Chuuya.
When they walked in, they happened to see Taneda Santohuo standing up as if to say goodbye, and they finally saw clearly that the person standing next to him was an intelligence officer newly recruited by the Port Mafia.
"Mushroom-kun." Mori Ogai lowered his gaze to his face and introduced them to each other, "This is Chief Taneda of the Special Ability Special Agents Department."
Oguri Mushitaro was alert and vaguely sensed the hidden meaning in Mori Ogai's words.
Taneda Santoka confirmed Oguri Mushitaro's identity with his eyes, and then said to Mori Ogai, "As for abilities that are inconvenient for outsiders to know, we hope that both parties, in addition to the leader and at most one guard, will be present at the time."
"Of course, we will also bring a special ability business license for exchange."
Mori Ogai was embarrassed: "Ever since Mushi-kun joined the Port Mafia, it really made things much easier for me."
The fire on the farming mountain is unmoved.
No one responded, so Mori Ogai naturally turned the topic to Oguri Mushitaro: "However, we still need to hear Mushi-kun's opinion on this matter."
Oguri Mushitaro understood.
This wasn't a discussion or inquiry with him; it was at best an arrogant notification.
All he needed to do, and could do, was agree.
He himself had no sense of belonging to the Port Mafia, but Mushitaro Oguri still symbolically asked who Mori Ogai would choose to be responsible for security that day.
"Personally, I'm leaning towards Chuuya-kun. If Mushi-kun has other candidates in mind, please let him know."
Oguri Mushitaro refused nonchalantly.
"Then I'll take the person with me." Taneda Santouki put his hands in the sleeves of his kimono and nodded to Mori Ogai. Sakaguchi Ango followed him silently.
Nakahara Chuuya gave up his position and allowed the other party to leave with the intelligence personnel of the Port Mafia.
Oguri Mushitaro observed Mori Ogai who did not stop him, glanced at Sakaguchi Ango's back, and probably guessed something.
After leaving the leader's office, it was hard to ignore the player squatting in the aisle, especially since the other player looked up at him the first time. The player asked curiously, "What did you talk about?"
Mori Ogai only called him and Nakahara Chuuya in, so the other party certainly didn't know the specific content of the conversation.
It was hard to tell whether Oguri Mushitaro was happy or unhappy: "...I'm finally leaving this nasty place called the Port Mafia."
"You don't have to see people you don't want to see anymore." He spoke very quietly because he was worried that Nakahara Chuuya would hear it.
"Hmph, anyway, I won't be threatened by anyone anymore."
The player leaned over to look at Mori Ogai, who nodded tolerantly, acknowledging the credibility of Oguri Mushitaro's words.
The player suddenly realized: "Mr. Mushitaro... is fired!"
Oguri Mushitaro was furious: "Hey! You, little brat! That face of yours is too ugly! I'm so..."
Seeing that the situation was not good, the player immediately waved to Rimbaud: "Mr. Rimbaud!"
The next second, the player jumped onto the painting set and instantly disappeared around the corner of the corridor.
"Master Fushimi—!" The Black Lizards exclaimed in unison, "Master Fushimi has escaped on the Lambert Express! Hurry and catch up!"
There really is someone called that strange name!
Oguri Mushitaro suddenly lost all his emotions.
Is there a normal person in the Port Mafia?
The sooner you leave this kind of place, the sooner you’ll be free!
