Second Dad
wisdom……
If beauty is used for begging, then what is wisdom for?
Under the watchful eyes of two people behind her, the little girl stopped in front of a cool motorcycle.
Alice looked at the red car body, its sleek shape. It felt...somewhat familiar?
Okay, it does look familiar. Isn't this the new car that Chuuya just picked up?
Because the previous car was brutally mutilated by a certain Zai Osamu, Alice often heard Nakahara Chuuya cursing him for a while.
When Alice thought of Osamu Dazai, she thought of the little girl who knew him.
Why did she suddenly come here? Did Dazai Osamu tell her something?
The blonde, blue-eyed girl looked at the little girl who was examining the car from head to toe, and curiously leaned closer: "Aren't we supposed to be making money? What are we doing here?"
When the little girl heard Alice's question, she turned to her friends and said, "We need someone to lie down in front of the car."
"Um?"
Xiao Luo happily pointed ahead of the car, her gaze darting between Yumeno Kyusaku and Alice, a naive smile on her face, and exclaimed, "Let's stage an accident with this car owner who looks really rich!"
Come on! Lady, lie down here!
So, is your so-called wisdom just about staged accidents?
The two people who heard this fell silent. Damn it, isn't this just as embarrassing?
Actually, the best option for him to lie down was Yumeno Kyusaku. Not only was he injured and bandaged, but his face was also deathly pale. He looked like something was wrong.
Unfortunately, the girl making the choice was biased. Yumeno Kyusaku was a friend that Koro herself made.
Rather than letting her vulnerable friend stage an accident, Xiao Luo didn't hesitate to let the young lady who had inexplicably pestered her lie down on her.
Although the little girl couldn't sense Alice's malice, her brother had said that friends with ulterior motives, whether sincere or not, should not be befriended.
The little girl listens to her brother, so even though she doesn't remember the name of the pretty girl in front of her, it doesn't stop her from pretending to be friends with her.
"..."
Alice paused, speechless, staring at the motionless car. "The car isn't even moving. We can't exactly stage an accident, can we?"
“It’s okay,” the young girl insisted. This was the simplest and fastest way to make money, in her opinion. “We can try to persuade them.”
"...What if he disagrees?" Alice tried to interrupt him.
The little girl blinked, thought for a moment, and then clenched her paws to cheer Alice on: "It's okay. If that adult doesn't understand some principles, then I, Little Luo, am also somewhat skilled in martial arts."
So, relax, miss! Little Loli will always be by your side!
Alice: ...
So, am I absolutely forced to lie down here today?
The cute little girl with blonde hair and a red dress choked back tears, stomped her feet, and shrank back.
She needs to stall for some time. Moritaro, hurry up and get Nakahara Chuuya down!
It's all that idiot Moritaro's fault!
Alice was originally portrayed as a proud and aloof little angel. But looking at the two little brats in front of her, if she dared to say "I hate you," the little girl would definitely retort with "Let's break up." Just like when she said "No" while sharing cake, the little girl immediately snatched the cake back.
She is no match for Yumeno Hisashi in this regard.
But Alice was ordered to watch over them, so she couldn't leave.
The girl's eyes turned red with anger.
Look how long I've only been with Xiao Luo, and this little girl already has so many strange ideas...
He's a real talent for the Mafia!
Mori Ōgai sighed.
The incessant complaining abruptly stopped as he sensed the other superhuman sharpening its knives.
Feeling guilty, Mori Ougai told Chuuya to leave work early.
Little Luo, a little girl with many secrets. She doesn't like Alice, and naturally won't let Alice get any information out of her.
There's no point in letting Alice follow along; it's better to let Chuuya, whom she really wants to get to know, play with her.
After seeing Chuuya off, Mori Ougai put down the documents in his hand, lowered his eyes and chuckled softly. His dark red eyes observed Xiao Luo's every move through Alice.
Isn't that interesting?
Perhaps Chuuya hasn't noticed yet, but Verlaine, you must have.
That child couldn't sense any malice.
When Mori Ougai became wary of Koro because of Dazai Osamu's appearance and wanted to eliminate this unstable existence, and when everyone was on edge because of his malice and murderous intent.
Only she could remain unmoved and contemplate her own childish questions.
"Those who fail to perceive the approaching danger will inevitably face death sooner or later."
This is a major taboo in the Mafia; I don't want to incur sunk costs. The unshaven man grimaced in annoyance, as if muttering something unpleasant, but then smiled again.
"But what's interesting, Your Excellency Verlaine, is that she is able to keenly avoid Alice."
What is it that we rely on?
Intuition? Or observation?
Paul Verlaine remained in the shadows behind him; his fears had come true.
Mori Ougai recognized Xiao Luo's talent; it's not that this place is bad. It's just that Xiao Luo, who can't sense any killing intent, is inherently unsuitable for this circle.
"Chief Sen..." Verlaine hesitated, then stopped.
"Ha, Your Excellency need not worry," Mori Ougai chuckled, rubbing his forehead and waving his hand. He turned to look at the man not far away, his dark red eyes peeking out from between his fingers unfathomable. "I'm just thinking, if it's the latter, then the Mafia will have another Dazai."
"Achoo!" The little girl downstairs, who was trying to coax Alice into staging an accident, touched her nose in confusion.
Is someone talking badly about Xiao Luo behind her back?
Lingling looked at the little girl who had mistreated Alice as a Japanese person. The little girl had never been so mean to anyone before...emm, she had never been so mean to a child.
Lingling was curious. She knew this because she had received information about the world, but Xiaoluo hadn't. How did she know that Alice was fake?
It asked curiously, "How did Xiao Luo figure out she had humanoid superpowers?"
[Humanoid ability? What humanoid ability? So the young lady is a mannequin?] The girl asked in confusion.
【Then you…】Zero paused, wondering why Xiao Luo treated Alice like a Japanese person.
[My brother said, "Unsolicited kindness is either a lie or a theft."] The little boy sighed and patiently explained to the newborn baby, Lingling, "Children shouldn't be kidnappers who abducted Xiaoluo, but Xiaoluo doesn't know what the older sister wants to do."
We're short on money right now, so we'll have to use this for now.
Well, so you didn't know Alice had human-like abilities, and you didn't treat Alice as a human either.
Lingling thought of a few people who had approached her, except for Nakahara Chuuya, who had been turned on by Xiao Luo.
The rest of the people seemed to have been labeled as human traffickers by the child, and even her favorite brother, Dazai, wasn't spared.
So, Xiao Luo actually wanted to implicate Alice among the human traffickers, but Alice's appearance caused the little girl to misunderstand the formula. As a result, she didn't know what Alice was and could only play with her like a doll.
To put it simply, it means... my ancestors, you haven't given up your human trafficking business yet?
