Yokohama Survival Guide

Chapter 15 The Flower That Never Withers

==============================

"...The left hand was fractured, and two ribs were fractured. Fortunately, there was no dislocation or injury to the internal organs. Multiple cartilage tissue contusions..."

Holding the report card, Mr. Sen slowly turned a page.

Opposite him, the orange-haired youth and the black-haired youth stood side by side.As the background, you and Saito are lying on the hospital bed behind, one on the left and the other on the right.

It's a shame that the duo who were the culprits were left virtually unscathed in the artificially-caused crash.On the contrary, you seem to have been infected with bad luck by Saito, and became the saddest wounded.

For the first time since waking up, you are lying in the medical room!

"I'm so sorry, Mr. J."

Sighing helplessly, the black-haired leader tapped Dazai's shoulder with the case,

"Please don't pay attention to your entrustment in the future, Dazai will be responsible for taking over those tasks. The entrustment fee will be paid as usual, and it will be regarded as an apology for this incident."

"...You are being polite."

Hearing this, you struggled to adjust your sitting posture, regardless of the sharp pain still remaining in your chest after being fixed.

"Is it too much trouble for Mr. Dazai? The remaining few people are more difficult. If sniping is excluded, more members of the action team may need to be dispatched..."

"Then ask Mr. Zhongye to help, as it happens that he is also jointly and severally responsible."

Smiling slightly, Mori Ogai decisively assigned the task.

"Oh?! No, I don't want to work overtime!"

Hearing his instructions, Dazai dragged his voice unwillingly and wanted to refuse to work overtime, but Nakahara on the side nodded obediently and accepted the new task.It was obvious that the orange-haired young man was just doing his duty faithfully at that time, but facing your innocence, he still took the responsibility rather embarrassingly——

"No problem, then I will lead the team to Tanaka's side tomorrow. The military and police branch is not strong enough recently, so a ten-man squad will do."

"It's too exaggerated, little dwarf, obviously one person can do it! Recently, the headquarters' combat strength is insufficient, so there is no need to waste manpower for that pig~"

"Huh? What nonsense are you talking about, mackerel! No matter how you say it, you won't tear your face. Of course, other people must create chaos first before you can act, you bastard!"

"You can sneak in alone, right? Remember to catch Mr. Yamamoto, who is about to join the group, just in time for the torture team to catch his off-line."

"...Why are you so troublesome! Don't order me casually!"

The two quickly fell into the quarrel, completely ignoring the existence of other people.

Mori Ogai smiled and didn't stop him, allowing the two of them to rush out of the medical room chasing each other.

Saitomoto was in a coma, and for a while, the only ones in the room who were awake were the two of you.In the silence, you moved your lips, planning to say something.

At the same time, the chief gentleman, who has always been extraordinarily friendly, looked down at you and suddenly withdrew all his smiles.When he withdrew his smile, you realized that this guy is actually more like a poisonous snake, it's just that he can't disguise all his dangers as usual.

"It's true that Dazai's child has gone too far, but I'm also very curious."

Saying so, Mori Ogai casually put the case aside, he stood up straight, as he was taught in the army many years ago,

"What exactly did Mr. J do to offend that crazy woman in Hex in America? Those who can be bitten by her are all internationally renowned terrorists. Combined with your skills, what do you belong to? Which side? Or, why did you come to the small place of Yokohama a year ago?"

"..."

You pursed your lips, unable to say anything.

Of course, you who lost your memory don’t know who Hex is, and you are also curious about why you came to the city of Yokohama.

"I don't want to say it, I can't say it, or... I don't know?" Analyzing every trace of your expression with X-ray-like scrutiny, Mori Ogai changed his words.

You struggled for a moment, and finally confessed unwillingly: "...I don't know."

Yes, you are not going to hide the amnesia from Mori Ogai anymore.

Under the nose of this man, you find it difficult to continue to hide—even the time of entry has been clearly investigated by the other party, and it is nothing but stupidity to make people laugh.What's more, the current Yokohama has been completely messed up compared to the previous one.If you conceal your identity, you may be treated as a dormant enemy by Hong Kong gangsters. That kind of fate is a nightmare!

Mori Ogai understood, he nodded and stopped asking.

You can't tell if he's lowered his suspicions, but at least you feel safe for the time being.

"Well, I won't bother you to continue recuperating, J."

After getting the answer he wanted, Mori Ogai regained his composure,

"Please hurry up and take care of your body, we still need your strength."

After a few polite conversations, he turned and left.

Sitting on the small bed in the ward, recalling the series of experiences today, goose bumps suddenly popped up on your back...

————I am the dividing line that fell asleep due to anesthesia———

When you wake up again, it's dusk.

Under the rays of the setting sun, the shadows of the people leaning against the window are dragged long.

That was Zhongyuan. It seemed that he had changed his clothes after leaving the mission. The contrast of the black hoodie was huge.Therefore, when he leaned against the window of the ward and closed his eyes to rest, the soft hats were piled up and placed just behind his head as a comfortable "pillow", wrapping his iconic orange hair.

It seems to be very tired, even the sound of you struggling to sit up, did not wake up this guy who should have been extremely alert.The young man who was sleeping soundly, with his mouth half open, was unbelievably cute.

"Pu Chi, I didn't expect you to have such an immature side, Zhong Yuan."

You couldn't help chuckling, and in the shock, you felt another continuous pain in your chest,

"It hurts, hurts, hurts!! It's really a reward for the world, but, it's too cute, it looks like this."

"—Ahh, you, you woke up, ahhh."

Awakened by your laughter and cries of pain, the orange-haired young man under the setting sun shivered, yawned and suddenly regained his senses from the dream.

In the next second, he stood up straight, scratched his cheek unnaturally, and signaled you to look to the right,

"I brought you seafood porridge, which was recommended by that guy Saito. The business is booming, and the taste should be good."

Hearing the familiar name, you naturally turn your head to the left, only to find that another hospital bed has already been tidied up.

Is it really okay for Saito to be discharged from the hospital so soon?

"That guy has already gone back, let him take half a day off. It's nothing serious, just overly frightened." Aware of your doubts, Zhong Yuan briefly explained the situation.Immediately, this tolerant boss took a step forward, picked up the seafood porridge from the bedside table, and put it on your lap.

"It's for you, try it quickly, it shouldn't be cold yet?"

Not only is it not cold, judging from the temperature, it is obviously warm just out of the pan.

A touch of warmth penetrates the quilt, making you involuntarily start looking forward to this just-right dinner.

"...Thank you, Zhongyuan~ It looks delicious!"

"You're welcome..." He broke the chopsticks for you embarrassingly, Zhong Yuan's eyes were full of sincerity, "...and I'm sorry, I didn't notice your situation at the time."

"It's okay, and it's all Dazai's fault, right? You're just completing the task." You easily forgave the other party in your mouth, and you, who were not very resentful, decided to turn the page completely for the sake of the good smell of seafood porridge.

However, I don't know if Zhong Yuan is acting too gentle?Or does illness make people less defensive?

After stirring the hot porridge twice, your mouth opened and closed uncontrollably, and you made a request that you thought was too much——

"Ah, I'm sorry."

Zhongyuan's cobalt blue eyes were full of confusion, and he asked directly: "What are you sorry about?"

Holding the spoon, you fished out specious fragments from your memories: "It should be drunk crab? Ah, I can't remember too clearly, but this kind of salty porridge should be served with snacks like drunk crab."

Hearing this, the orange-haired youth blocked his mouth with his gloved right hand, and said with a smile: "Drunk crabs? Crabs made of alcohol? Pfft, is your alcohol capacity okay? Last time it was a complete failure. If you directly If you get drunk, you won't be able to taste anything!"

"Even Mr. Zhongyuan can't question my pursuit of deliciousness!" You clarified seriously, waving the tableware in your hand, "It's true that I hate alcohol, and it's true that I like drunk crabs. I remember it's a local snack, Marinating crabs with rice wine will not be intoxicating. Ah, what a pity, I will take you to taste it if I have the opportunity."

Unlike your melancholy regrets, when Zhong Yuan heard this, he suddenly realized, and readily took out the phone.

"There should be one in Chinatown? If you eat slowly, you will definitely be able to catch it."

Having said that, he neatly asked his subordinates to go to Chinatown to buy food. It seemed that this was not the first time he had done such a thing.

On the contrary, you are embarrassed to refuse and want to stop this "ordering" behavior: "No, no, it's too troublesome! I have this bowl of porridge and it's enough, Zhongyuan, you don't need..."

"...Yes, Drunken Crab. Ah, remember to bring a large portion of Chinese fried rice and extra char siew. That's it, thank you." Holding you with one hand, Zhong Yuan readily revealed the name of the dish, under your embarrassed gaze , After thinking about it, I added another name.After turning off the phone, he explained casually, "It's okay, it happens that I should have dinner too, just let them deliver it together."

This kind of considerateness that tolerates your troubles together may be the unique gentleness of Zhongya, right?

Thinking of this, you couldn't help but raise the corners of your mouth slightly.

"Anyway, thanks, Zhong Yuan, next time I'll be the host, please!"

"Ah, it's nothing. And, you can call me by my name." Shuangxin stretched out his hand and thumped your shoulder, and the orange-haired young man's flamboyant smile was deeply imprinted in your eyes, "It can be regarded as companions, we. The opportunity to cooperate in the future There are more!"

Under the setting sun, the smiles of the orange-haired youth and the warm seafood porridge are superimposed together, making you unable to help forgetting the unpleasant details that have gradually accumulated in the past few days: ignoring the distress of constantly hitting a wall, ignoring the panic of gradually getting lost, ignoring the Slowly recovering 【Self】.

At least in Zhongye's eyes, you are you; just an ordinary "companion" who has just been upgraded——

"I'll look forward to it, Chuya. Thank you!"
