Two hat lovers
But no matter what, victory will only belong to the Mafia.
The battle had to continue. Chuuya returned to the headquarters building, retrieved the item given to him by the leader at the front desk, and headed to the target location alone.
Ranbu, who was originally so bored that he was about to fall asleep, suddenly perked up, opened his eyes, and looked at the monitor.
"The enemy is coming."
How many people?
"one."
The president remained silent for a moment. If one person could make Ranpo be on high alert, that person must be extraordinary.
"Sigh, even though Hat Guy is a good person, we have different stances... It's so troublesome. So why do we have to think so much?"
Ranpo slumped back onto the table, looking even more sullen than before.
"Are you alright, Ranpo?"
"It's alright, Hat Guy is just here to deliver a message, not to cause trouble, otherwise it would really be a headache."
The president nodded and looked at the remaining two.
"Yosano, you take Kenji to negotiate with him. Ranpo and I will stay behind. If anything unexpected happens, you can escape on your own. I will protect Ranpo."
"But didn't this guy knock us all out in a one-on-one fight last time?"
Yosano nodded, and Kenji obediently stood to the side, asking somewhat innocently.
"Idiot! Whether we can win or not, we have to go now. Anyway, I'm here, so we won't die."
"oh oh!"
Yosano said with a hint of disappointment, and Kenji belatedly realized what was happening.
"So please proceed with caution."
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, the president added another sentence.
Upon seeing the two approaching, Chuuya raised an eyebrow. He had originally thought it would be the one who could turn invisible, or the one with glasses, but it turned out to be the doctor and the child.
But that makes sense. Most of the key combat forces have probably gone out, and doctors are a valuable strategic resource. This kid is barely capable of fighting and can defend the home.
Chuuya analyzed the situation, looking at Kenji thoughtfully.
"Um... kid, how old are you this year?"
Chuuya suddenly asked, and Kenji blinked, belatedly realizing that he was being referred to.
"Me? I'm 14 years old this year, and my name is Kenji Miyazawa!"
Despite some doubts, Kenji answered Chuuya's question seriously.
Two wonderful babies!
[As mentioned before, Kenji is the person I admire most in the detective agency, and now he's actually taking the initiative to talk to me!]
[Two hat enthusiasts admiring each other, huh?]
"Hey! I'm telling you, Gravity, the busybody of the Hong Kong Triads, even though I know you're not here to cause trouble, you shouldn't be here to ask this kid's age so casually, right?"
Yosano, who was carrying a large sword, stood to the side and interrupted the two who were taking the topic to an odd place.
Upon hearing this, Chuuya paused for a moment, then realized that the famous detective had probably figured it out, and a smile crept onto his lips.
"That famous detective told you, right? Where's your leader?"
Yosano pointed to the location of the surveillance camera, and Chuuya looked at the camera and took out the photos he had prepared beforehand.
"This is a gift from our leader to you. The back of the package lists the possible times and locations where the 'Group' members might appear. Although I know your famous detective should be able to deduce the locations, you shouldn't miss out on something that's been delivered right to your door."
Even though he couldn't see the scene on the other side of the monitor through the screen, he was extremely confident in the leader's arrangements. Since he hadn't lied, the famous detective could tell, which gave them even less reason to refuse.
"What a wonderful gift!"
"Right?"
Yosano sighed, and Chuuya turned around upon hearing the reply.
"But do you remember when you knocked me out and threw me down last time? I really want to break your arms and legs! You can't even use your superpowers, it's infuriating!"
As he spoke to Xie Ye, he brandished his broadsword twice.
Aren't you a doctor?
Chuuya used his special ability to jump up and dodge Kenji's attack from behind. He looked at Yosano with some surprise. Yosano Akiko, who was upside down on the ceiling and unable to attack Chuuya, shouted angrily.
"Don't underestimate me, you bastard!"
"No wonder they're from the city! Even when they're upside down, their hat didn't fall off!"
Kenji stared wide-eyed at Chuuya, who was lying on the ceiling, and exclaimed in surprise.
[This is basically Xiti boy! Lights up!]
[Playing house style fighting]
Ranpo is going to wear glasses; he's getting serious.
Upon seeing this sentence, Chuuya jumped down from the ceiling. He had already deeply understood the meaning of the sentence: "In the eyes of a detective, there are no secrets."
"By the way, a friendly reminder: the bait is one of your company's clerical staff members, but the 'group' is unaware of your operation. It's not too late to get them to leave now."
"I have other things to do, so I won't waste any more time with you here. Goodbye, Detective. Good luck."
After saying this while looking at the monitor, Chuuya ignored the president's voice coming from the other end of the monitor, glanced at Kenji one last time, and then disappeared from the small track in a few flashes.
[I seem to remember that Naomi and the others will run into Yumeno Kyusaku when they go to find Nakajima Atsushi and the others.]
[Isn't the Chinese version of the game also looking for Kyusaku?]
[What a perfect miss, Chuuya!]
Chuuya, who was on his way to headquarters to report back, saw these comments, paused, opened his phone and sent a message to the leader. After receiving a reply, he quickly headed towards the coordinates.
In this inevitable ending, no matter who ends up dealing with the 'Group', I will protect this city amidst the chaos. This is my mission as the strongest fighter in this battle between the three organizations.
Chuuya's eyes narrowed, his expression resolute. Even if he didn't catch up in the end, he would still chase after him to the top of the sky.
Even if you know that things will eventually be resolved, handing the problem over to others and expecting them to solve it is the choice of the weak.
He, Chuuya Nakahara, worked tirelessly for four years to quell the wars overseas, and now he lives in Yokohama for this very moment.
[Is Chuuya going in Naomi's direction?]
[Did Chuuya know Dazai was here, which is why he came?]
[If you're after someone, you probably can't catch up to Kyusaku. Actually, all you have to do is snatch Kyusaku's doll, and after he gets caught, just shove it into Dazai's hands.]
[That makes sense, since the dolls made by Kuzuku are the medium through which the supernatural power is activated, they should all be useful, right?]
[But we can't find him. He hasn't been out for years. He's too fast. What should be a passive skill has been turned into an active one.]
Chuuya hurried along while watching the comments, then thoughtfully looked at the photo he had previously shown to the detective agency.
That long-haired man with droopy eyelids who looked completely listless—was he the one who ended up capturing Kyusaku? Mental attacks and anti-superpowers were ineffective against him; was he some kind of Cthulhu...?
And the person next to me has the ability to connect with trees and sense their presence. Each of these abilities is individually quite manageable, but when combined, the scope expands, making it feel like a game suddenly switching from minimalist mode to hell mode.
Chuuya's lips curled into an excited smile. Hidden talents indeed! This 'group' is truly fascinating!
