Chapter 18 He scratched and scratched and scratched... Hagiwara Neko decided to scratch Scotland to death...
The serum injection/injection was completed, the crisis was over, but hospitalization for observation is required.
“I don’t think it’s necessary. I’ll come to the hospital myself if I feel unwell.” Sitting on the hospital bed, Scotland felt like he could run and jump again. Staying in the hospital for several days would be a waste of time.
Takanashi Chinatsu immediately pressed down on his shoulders with both hands, pushing him back onto the bed: "No, you'd better stay in the hospital!"
"Chika-chan, you know my job, it's not convenient for me to take time off." The Scottish cat's blue eyes looked at Takanashi Chika with longing, looking incredibly pitiful.
Takanashi Chika showed no mercy: "It's okay, I'll give you a break."
Scotland sighed.
"How about this, I'll stay in the hospital for observation for six hours, and if there are no problems, I'll be discharged." He tried to negotiate the price.
"No, at least three days."
“Three days… Let’s play rock-paper-scissors. If I win, I’ll be discharged in six hours.” Scotland tried again.
Takanashi Chinatsu curled the corners of her lips and retorted, "Haven't you heard the rumors about me?"
What's most special about Chinatsu Takanashi is her luck; it's said she's incredibly lucky.
This is a text message Scotland received early this morning; it seems Bourbon didn't sleep all night again.
But Scotland was not afraid at all, and even said confidently: "Give it a try. Although I've heard that you have good luck, my luck is not bad either."
Scotland was a gambler who originally belonged to another gang, but he sold himself to the organization after losing a bet.
This is what Gin wrote in the information he gave to Chinatsu Takanashi.
Logically speaking, since a gambler like Scotland can betray others, it's hard to say whether he might betray the organization. Gin shouldn't have sent such an unstable element to Takanashi Chinatsu's side.
However, because of Takanashi Chinatsu's lucky attribute, this kind of unstable gambler is safest when he is by Takanashi Chinatsu's side.
“Okay, let’s give it a try.” Takanashi Chika agreed.
Scotland then added, "Best of ten innings."
Chizuru Takanashi was stunned.
"Dare you?"
Under a best-of-ten-games rule, if both sides are evenly matched, it would probably take a long time to determine a winner.
Chika Takanashi smiled, realizing that it wasn't a game of rock-paper-scissors, but rather a test of her luck.
She has always been very confident in her luck and is never stingy with her revelation: "Come on!"
In the first game, Chinatsu Kotori won.
Scotland's expression remained unchanged.
In the second game, Chinatsu Kotori won.
Scotland observes carefully.
The third set, the fourth set, the fifth set...
Scotland's expression gradually changed. He realized that this was not a judgment made by Takanashi Chika based on her observation of his hand muscles, but rather a pure guess based on luck.
But she won every time.
Chinatsu Takanashi won all ten games.
"How was it?" Takanashi Chika withdrew her hand, looking with satisfaction at the astonishment on Scotland's face. This wasn't the first time she had seen such disbelief on other people's faces.
The astonishment on Scotland's face slowly subsided, and he looked at Takanashi Chika with a hint of amazement.
"Very good."
That's terrible.
"It's wonderful to have someone like you as my partner."
It's terrible that the organization has such lucky people.
Scotland is hypocritical.
Takanashi Chinatsu, already used to being praised, smugly commanded, "I've won now, so you'll have to stay in the hospital for three whole days of observation. This is for your own good."
Scotland gave a wry smile, but could only nod helplessly: "A bet's a bet, I'll do whatever you say."
"I have a task for you to complete in three days."
Scotland replied casually, "A task for the young lady? Do you want me to do her homework?"
Takanashi Chinatsu had already suppressed all her smiles, and her voice was as cold as ice: "There is someone I need you to kill."
Scotland's expression turned icy in an instant, but a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth as he murmured bloodthirstily, "Dare to offend you? I'll make him suffer a terrible death."
Scotland is an untamed wolf, but with the right methods, it can be turned into a wagging dog.
In her notes, Chinatsu Takanashi wrote the following.
Scotland was the first subordinate she recruited, and she was more outstanding than she expected. If it weren't for Gin's messy behavior giving her the opportunity, such a high-caliber codename member wouldn't have even given her a second glance.
She did have a special position in the organization and was blessed by Lady Luck, but she didn't have any real power. Those who were particularly pragmatic might fawn over her, but when they really wanted to find a backer, they wouldn't even give him a second glance.
It's hard to say whether her luck played a role in recruiting the Scottish player.
"Chinatsu-chan, what are you writing?" Kenji Hagiwara floated quietly to her side.
Since he will soon be sent away, the invisible barrier that has existed between the two for two years has been broken. At least Kenji Hagiwara will not be as "sensible" as before, and will not deliberately invade Chinatsu Kotori's private space.
Chinatsu Takanashi didn't seem to care. A ghost can't transmit information to a person, especially since she was leaving. She didn't need to keep hiding it.
"Observations from Scotland"
"Scotland? Is it wine?"
"He is my subordinate."
"Eh—" Kenji Hagiwara's eyes widened in shock. Subordinate?
For two years, Kenji Hagiwara had always thought that Chinatsu was a good girl. She was just a freshman in college, so how could she have a subordinate?
"Is she... a big sister?" Kenji Hagiwara was incredulous. Chinatsu looked like a good girl, but she was actually a school bully?
Thinking of the arrogant and domineering female school bullies in campus dramas, Kenji Hagiwara's beady eyes were even more shocked.
"No, I'm a core member of an underground organization." When you're out in the world, you give yourself an identity. If Takanashi Chinatsu believes she's a high-ranking member, then she is.
Kenji Hagiwara was even more shocked. A club!
"Chika, are you being coerced? Did they hit you? Should we call the police? I can give you my friend's number!" Jinpei, come quick! A kind little rabbit has wandered into a den of wolves!
Takanashi Chinatsu didn't answer, but instead smiled silently at Hagiwara Kenji.
Kenji Hagiwara's terrified expression gradually subsided, and he silently stared at Chinatsu Kotori, his back stiffening.
Did he really not know?
He lived alone, his parents were unknown, and he knew people like the Black-Faced God.
Although Kenji Hagiwara hadn't seen the Dark-Faced God come by many times, the other person's aura was quite ominous!
Chinatsu-chan's identity has always seemed to be more than just a simple one.
"Don't think too much. Even though you're a policeman, you're dead now and can't do anything. If you want to catch me, reincarnate soon. Maybe you can catch me in your next life," Takanashi Chika kindly comforted him.
Kenji Hagiwara immediately put on a mournful face: "Chinatsu-chan, this isn't meant to comfort you..."
"Pfft," Takanashi Chika burst out laughing.
After deciding to send Kenji Hagiwara away, their relationship officially thawed, and they became increasingly unrestrained with each other.
"What do you think of this Scottish guy? You wrote that he's unruly, but what did he do to you?" Kenji Hagiwara floated to the other side of the desk, resting his chin on his hands as he looked at the contents of the notebook.
Relying on the fact that ghosts cannot file complaints, and with Kenji Hagiwara about to leave, Chinatsu Takanashi openly spreads a rumor: "He's a pervert!"
Kenji Hagiwara's gaze sharpened instantly.
"He tried to lay a hand on me today, and I punched him so hard he got a black eye!" Takanashi Chinatsu swung her fist. Although she couldn't beat Scotland, in her imagination, she was invincible.
Kenji Hagiwara immediately clapped his hands: "Well done, Chinatsu! You should teach that kind of pervert a lesson. It would be even better if you could ask the police for help."
Chinatsu Takanashi replied with a smile, "There's no way I'd call the police, you idiot Kenji."
Kenji Hagiwara was immediately annoyed, but after all, he had spent two years with Chinatsu Takanashi. Even though she was a member of an evil organization, he always felt that Chinatsu wasn't a bad person, so he quickly gestured in mid-air.
"Then I'll teach you. Next time, do this: grab him here and throw him hard! Also, when you're grappling, you need to strike this spot hard so he can't resist, and then twist his arm backwards!" These are all simple police grappling techniques that won't hurt people too badly, but they are simple and effective.
Chinatsu also tried to learn. Of course she was happy to learn if a police officer was willing to teach her. Why would she ask Gin to teach her? She's not a masochist.
"That Scotsman is a piece of trash and a pervert. He only dares to bully kind and lovely girls. Kenji-chan, I'm going to curse him! I'm going to curse him so he can never get up again!" Kenji Hagiwara punched from a distance, and even made a shadow clone hand gesture, trying to curse him with the power of the dead.
Chinatsu Takanashi laughed even louder: "How chuunibyou!"
"Because he bullied Chinatsu-chan, he's the worst kind of scum!" Kenji Hagiwara declared righteously and resolutely, "Damn it, don't let me see him, or I'll definitely scratch his face!"
The ghost scratched at the air with both hands, seemingly already scratching hard at the face of that Scottish scum.
