Chapter 10

When Kono Seiryoshi woke up, it was already past noon.

He stared blankly at the snow-white ceiling. When he moved his fingers a little, the sharp pain instantly made him wake up and he couldn't help but let out a hiss.

There was water hanging on the back of his left hand. Because of his previous movement, the blood flowed back a little and then slowly fell back.

——Someone sent him to the medical department.

"Are you awake? You didn't listen to the doctor's advice and rested well. This time the symptoms are considered mild. How do you feel?"

Kono Seiryoshi came back to his senses and looked at the doctor who had rushed over after hearing the noise in the ward. He laughed awkwardly and said, "Much better. Thank you, Dr. Matsubara."

The doctor in a white coat put down the reagent in his hand and walked towards him.

When Kono Seiryoshi had just come out of the intensive care unit, his physical condition was so poor that he had to go to the medical department almost every day to restore his health. As a result, he got to know the department manager, Dr. Matsubara.

The doctor is of similar age to Mori Gugai and is said to be a junior who graduated from the same university. After Mori Gugai became the leader, he was invited to work for the Port Mafia.

Whenever the highly skilled doctors saw Gongye Shengliang's medical examination reports, they would sigh, which frightened Gongye Shengliang so much that he almost thought he would not see the sun the next day.

The final result was that his physique was much weaker than that of a normal person, but with a few years of good care, he would not die so easily. Under the doctor's plain but meaningful instructions, Gongye Shengliang always lowered his head and nodded, but in his heart he secretly retorted that his ultimate goal was to die smoothly, how could he just be obedient!

Fortunately, Dr. Songyuan had a good temper. He didn't mind seeing Gong Ye Shengliang rushing to the infirmary every few days, and he would re-prescribe medicine for him every time without holding a grudge.

"I've replaced the medicine I prescribed for you. Remember to drink it." Dr. Songyuan handed over a glass of water, took Kono Seiryoshi's temperature, and nodded, "37.2℃. The temperature has dropped."

Gongye Shengliang nodded quickly, and when he saw the doctor's calm face, he asked, "Doctor Songyuan, do you know who sent me here? I seem to have..." He paused and continued in a low voice, "I seem to have fainted on the way."

——Damn it, humans have their limits! He won’t be a human next time!

The doctor was about to say something when there was a knock on the door, followed by a gentle male voice: "Dr. Songyuan, I have brought you the list of the imported drugs yesterday."

Dr. Matsubara's frown suddenly relaxed, and he called out, "Come in and talk, Ango-kun. I'll check right away." He then looked at Kouno Seiryoshi and raised his chin toward the outside, "He's here."

After more than ten seconds, there was a polite knock on the ward door, and then a young man with black hair, black eyes, wearing glasses and a mole on his lip appeared in Gongye Shengliang's sight.

[Port Mafia (?) Intelligence Agent - Sakaguchi Ango (Special Ability User)]

Gong Ye Shengliang's pupils shrank slightly for a moment, but he quickly hid his momentary loss of composure and smiled and greeted the black-haired young man. The latter was obviously stunned for half a second when he saw him, and nodded in response.

The doctor asked Sakaguchi Ango to wait for a moment, pulled out the needle from Kono Seira's hand, and went to wash his hands. When he came back, he immediately went up to the black-haired young man and exchanged a few words with him, then took the list and left in a hurry.

When they were the only two people in the room, Kono Seiryoshi looked over and happened to meet the young man's eyes. He did not avoid it, looked into his eyes sincerely and smiled, "Dr. Songyuan said that you were the one who sent me here. Thank you so much."

"No need to raise your hands." Sakaguchi Ango seemed not to be used to his serious words and pushed his glasses. "Are you okay, Kimino-kun?"

"Yeah, I'm much better now." Kono Seira looked at him in surprise, "Does Mr. Sakaguchi know me?"

Sakaguchi Ango coughed lightly and said, "It is essential for intelligence personnel to recognize their colleagues, and..." He hesitated and said tactfully, "Your situation is rather special."

Mori Ogai did not order the concealment of Gong Ye Shengliang's identity. The hostage who had been in the underground for three years was promoted to a direct subordinate of the quasi-cadre department in one leap. The fantasy of his experience caused quite a lot of discussion in those days.

However, Kono Seiyoshi stayed inside the building all day and not many people saw him, so the rumor was gradually suppressed over time.

Although Sakaguchi Ango doesn't care about these gossips, due to his position, he will also filter out valuable information from the rumors.

For example, the experience of Kimino Mutsu——□□ was true, and it was also true that he was appreciated by the leader. As for the casual rumors that "she looks good but looks too cold to approach", "she works so hard that the lights in the office are still on at 2 a.m.", "I encountered her several times when changing the dressing in the infirmary", etc., Sakaguchi Ango didn't take it seriously at first.

Until today, when he was on his way back from a work meeting, he saw a human-shaped figure lying in the corridor as soon as he stepped out of the elevator.

Her gray-silver hair was tangled and stuck to her face, which was covered with a thin layer of sweat. Her long eyebrows were still wrinkled despite her coma. Her beautiful profile was abnormally flushed, and her lips were pale in contrast.

Sakaguchi Ango recognized this person he had never seen before almost instantly, and a thought suddenly popped up in his mind - the impact of rumors was far less intense than what he saw with his own eyes in reality.

He quickly helped the person up and called out to him several times but he didn't wake up, so he had to take the person directly to the medical department and hand him over to the doctor.

I thought there was no chance we would meet again...but by such a coincidence I met you when I came to the medical department to deliver a list.

Sakaguchi Ango looked at the smiling golden eyes of the boy opposite him and questioned the credibility of the rumor.

He does look unapproachable, but after he starts talking... he seems to be quite easy to communicate with?

"I've heard of Mr. Sakaguchi's name before," Kouno Seira didn't really care about what was special about him. He was more interested in Sakaguchi Ango in front of him. "If it's okay, can I call you 'Ango-kun'?"

He was not lying. Within the range of his contact, Seira Kono wrote down the name and specialties of everyone, including of course Sakaguchi Ango, a rare psychic.

But besides this, there was another thing that attracted his attention even more——

The system cannot reveal too many spoilers. It was the first time that Kono Seiryoshi saw a question mark behind the camp. When he thought about what it might mean, his eyes brightened.

Sakaguchi Ango was stunned at first, then nodded and said in a steady voice: "In that case, there is no need for honorifics. We should be considered peers...right?"

He looked at the obviously young appearance of Gongye Shengliang and hesitated for a moment.

"That's true." Kono Seiryo nodded in agreement, and then raised his head and asked, "Ango-kun is very busy at work, is it still possible to eat at this time?"

Sakaguchi Ango didn't expect him to change the subject so suddenly. He quickly took out his watch and the next second he let out a sad cry like a company animal: "It's so late! Oops... I'm afraid lunch has been taken away."

"I've already made the reservation. If you don't mind, please let me treat you." Kono Seiryoshi smiled and shook his phone. "But Dr. Matsubara doesn't allow people to eat in the ward. We have to find another place."

"...Okay, thank you for your help then." Sakaguchi Ango breathed a sigh of relief, and his gaze towards Kono Seiryoshi relaxed a little.

——Compared to the two guys who soiled his best suit the first time they met, disturbed his work and forcibly dragged him to the bar, this is the correct way for normal people to make friends!!

--

The medical department was busy with people coming and going, so it was not a good choice to rest here. Before the day was over, Dr. Matsubara rushed Kono Seiryoshi back to his room with a pile of medicine half a person's height.

I chatted with Sakaguchi Ango for a while during lunch. The two office workers hit it off right away, especially when their boss Dazai Osamu was mentioned. The black-haired young man looked at Kouno Seira with some sympathy.

"Dazai-kun sometimes does what he wants." Sakaguchi Ango tactfully expressed his evaluation of his drinking buddy, and tried to save some of Dazai's poor impression points: "But as a friend, he is still very trustworthy... probably."

Seiyoshi Kono agrees in spirit: "Mr. Dazai's words and actions must have deep meanings, and I admire him very much." As for performance art, although I don't understand it, it is worthy of respect.

Who would have thought that after hearing his words, Sakaguchi Ango dropped the chopsticks in his hand with a "click" sound, and pressed Kouno Seiryoshi's shoulder with a look of horror: "Don't say this in front of Dazai-kun!"

Seira Kono: "...?"

He didn't understand why, but looking at Sakaguchi Ango's extremely serious expression, he agreed.

Before leaving, the pleased Anwu-kun enthusiastically recommended the refreshing drink he often drank.

At night, Mori Ogai heard from somewhere that he had fainted in the middle of work, and by the way, he found out that Kono Seiyoshi had no house to live in, so he generously allocated a house owned by the Port Mafia to him, and sent someone to tell him kindly that he could move in anytime after he recovered.

Gong Ye Shengliang's hand holding the property certificate was shaking slightly.

At this point, how could he say that he just had a fever due to the cold wind?!

He could only accept the leader's condolences with tears in his eyes, and said that he would be grateful and work harder in the future.

The leader also thoughtfully suspended his mission for a few days, so Kono Seira had nothing to do and could only rest and recuperate. During this period, his nominal boss Dazai Osamu came to visit him once, and he laughed himself to death without saying anything.

Just before Kouno Seiryoshi could no longer bear it and was about to kick him out, Dazai Osamu stopped laughing, and his iris-colored eyes became even brighter after being washed. He wiped away the tears of laughter with his fingers, and with a smile still on his face, he looked at Kouno Seiryoshi with his chin in his hand: "Kouno-kun, do you think that maybe you are gifted in making yourself a wolf?"

Kono Seiryoshi was touched in a sore spot and chose to turn a deaf ear to it. He directly blocked Dazai's mouth with the lemon tower on the bedside table: "Dr. Matsubara won't let me eat it. Please, Mr. Dazai, please do it for me."

Dazai was caught off guard, and the sour taste of the food made his face wrinkle. He looked deeply at Kono Seiryoshi, covered his mouth with an ugly face, and quickly left the room. As luck would have it, he ran into Nakahara Chuuya at the door.

The ochre-haired boy was holding a box of fruit and was about to go in, but he didn't expect that when he looked up, he would face the person he least wanted to see in the entire port mafia.

Nakahara Chuuya's face turned dark reflexively, and he was about to open his mouth to mock, but when Dazai Osamu saw him, he took a big step back as if frightened by something, and walked away hurriedly.

Nakahara Chuuya was ready to start a war of words: “……?”

He opened his mouth, held up his hat and muttered to himself, "This bastard is really incomprehensible." Then he put the matter behind him and coughed to clear his throat before knocking on the door.

But before he could say anything, a voice mixed with surprise and joy suddenly came from the other side of the half-open door: "Chuuya?"

Nakahara Chuuya's heart suddenly relaxed, and a hint of a relaxed smile unconsciously flashed across his deep blue eyes.

He walked in boldly: "Yes, I'm here to visit the patient."

The author has something to say:

I'm here!!! Tietie is here to accompany my little cuties today!

You didn’t expect that the person from the previous chapter is Kono Ango!
