Ability name The Tale of Genji

Saying that to his subordinates is almost like saying "it's okay to change jobs". For an organization like Port Mafia, Yuan Xiwu's approach is undoubtedly against the rules.But Zhong Yuanzhong never planned to report it, he just frowned slightly, and suddenly thought about another matter.

How is Yugiri doing here at the port of Mafia?

On the surface, Yuan Xiwu is aggressive and highly valued, and is now a quasi-cadre.He also has a good relationship with other people in the organization. There are cadres as seniors. Sister Hongye likes him very much. Even Dazai Osamu, who is the most difficult to deal with, is quite good to Yuan Xiwu.

Putting these conditions in the ordinary workplace, it can already be said that it is the configuration of a winner in the workplace.

However, Nakahara Chuya still remembered the smile that Xigiri showed when he came home.

Mr. Mori said that as long as Yuan Xiwu is promoted to a cadre, he will be like Chuya Zhongyuan, and besides tasks, he can also have his own time.Therefore, Zhongyuan Zhong has been working hard in many ways, and he is not stingy in delegating power. He hopes that Yuan Xiwu can climb a little faster, reach the position beside him as soon as possible, and work and go home freely.

However, at this moment, he suddenly remembered that he had never discussed related matters with Xi Wu.

If Osamu Dazai was here, he would probably start laughing immediately.Mori Ogai is very good at manipulating people's hearts. He has been guiding Chuya Nakahara's thinking for a long time, preventing him from thinking in that direction; disappear in the world.

But now Zhong Yuanzhong also remembered.

He quietly watched Yuan Xiwu finish talking with Q, and then the two slowly disappeared into the dark place without lights.He straightened the brim of his hat, and walked towards his motorcycle with his coat fluttering, but his heart was shrouded in a cloud of lead-colored suspicion.

***

"Da da--"

The sound of footsteps echoed in the corridor of the Mafia building in the port. While waiting for release at the door of the chief's office, Nakahara Nakaya looked sideways at the blue sky and the clouds outside the window.There is a bird gliding above the sky, it is a kind of sun-colored seabird that is very common in Yokohama, and it is riding the wind to fly to the harbor.

The door of the office opened, and Zhongya Nakahara looked back and walked in.

After the routine report was over, Mori Ogai issued a series of instructions, which Nakahara Chuya accepted one by one.Just as he was about to leave, he was suddenly stopped by Mori Ogai.

"Mr. Zhongye."

Under the gesture of Mori Ogai's eyes, the guards in the chief's office withdrew one by one, leaving only Chuya Nakahara and Mori Ogai in the huge office.

"Boss, this is..."

Mori Ogai smiled.

"There is one thing that I would like to ask Zhong Ye-jun for advice."

***

Yuan Xiwu hastily knocked on Zhongyuan Zhongye's office door, but no one answered, he gritted his teeth, pushed the door open and entered, the office was empty.

One step too late!

He expected that Mr. Mori would talk to Senior, but he didn't expect it to be so soon!He just revealed to Yuan Xiwu yesterday that he wanted to promote him as the leader, but today he actually notified Senior Chuya directly.Yuan Xiwu could guess what Mr. Mori would say. He was so anxious because he didn't want to be hit by his defection after the senior was full of hope.

The fingertips that were clasping the door frame were already slightly sunken, and it was Osamu Dazai's voice that pulled Genyuki out of this sense of depression.

"Calm down, it's too ugly."

Yuan Xiwu raised his head immediately.

"Mr. Dazai..."

"It's rare to be efficient in this matter. It seems that my layout in the Holy Grail War made him feel threatened." Dazai Osamu raised the corners of his mouth lightly, "On this point, Mr. Mori is also a coward."

He looked sideways at Yuan Xiwu.

"What? Didn't you already expect it, the replacement of the next leader, why are you still looking at me like that?"

Yuan Xiwu regained his composure.

"I just feel that Mr. Dazai is actually more suitable than me anyway. In terms of strategy, position, and willingness to stay in the port of Mafia. Although I can understand Mr. Mori's concerns, I cannot agree with this decision."

Maybe it shouldn't be called "would" but just "doesn't matter".It doesn't matter where Mr. Dazai is, and he doesn't bother to move, even if he can mess around, even if he doesn't follow the path drawn by Mr. Mori, he will still lead the port Mafia forward after all.

As long as you move forward, as long as you continue to be strong, you are correct. This should be the theory Mr. Mori pursues.

"Maybe it was like this before, but now..." Dazai Osamu just said vaguely.He went to the chief's office with Yuan Xiwu, and with him as a cover, he might be able to see how the situation was.

"...Where do you want to go after leaving the port of Mafia?"

he suddenly asked softly.

Yuan Xiwu didn't react for a while, and was taken aback. In this gap, Dazai quickly changed the topic.

"We're here... Ah, Chuya, you actually came out."

They were catching up with Chuya Nakahara coming out of the chief's office. Nakahara Nakaya didn't express anything when he saw Osamu Dazai, but when he saw Gen Yugiri, his expression became a little uncomfortable.Yuan Xiwu was also keenly aware of the change in senior's mood. He hesitated and wondered whether he should ask, but Dazai Osamu who was next to him gave a "tsk".

"You two are so annoying, one or two."

Both of them hesitated, as if they were falling in love.

"What did you say? Can you reveal it?" Osamu Dazai got straight to the point, and Chuya Nakahara shook his head with a serious expression.

"I can't tell you... Xiwu, come with me."

It was rare for Yuan Xiwu to be dragged away by her seniors, and it was still during working hours.When the elevator went down to the first floor, he couldn't help but remind him.

"Senior, it's still working time."

"Leave early!"

"!!!"

Yuan Xiwu got into the senior's car in shock, and the locomotive drove out all the way, heading directly towards the port area.The building of Mafia at the port gradually went away. Yuan Xiwu pressed his messy hair and listened to the roar of the locomotive.

He suddenly realized something.

"Senior, are you unhappy?"

"..."

The locomotive roared like a ferocious beast, and the hazy fragrance of clothes was blown away by the strong wind, leaving only a trace like a thin thread.Zhong Yuanzhong also pursed his lips slightly in the strong wind, and he remembered the conversation in the chief's office just now.

[There is one thing I want to ask Chuya-kun for advice. 】

[What does Zhongye-kun think of the fact that Yuwu-kun became the leader? 】

The chief's office fell into a silence that could hear a needle drop.

Nakahara also held his breath, he thought over Mr. Mori's words over and over again in his head, as if he suddenly couldn't understand human language.Yugiri, the leader, his opinion... these completely irrelevant words were combined into a sentence, and Zhong Yuanzhong stopped thinking for a short time.

And when thinking began, he briefly saw the scene——

Behind the leader's desk sat a boy with black hair and purple pupils.He was very dignified in front of people, commanding majesticly, but when everyone dispersed, he threw himself on the table in trouble, tilted his head, and winked at him.

【Senior...don't want to work overtime...want to go out to play...】

[What, what senior!You are already a leader, you have to look like a leader, don't, don't act like a baby! 】

【... Woo. 】

Facing such Yuanxi Wu, what can Chuya Zhongya say?Only soft-hearted.He pretended to cough twice, but there was no one around, and his leather-gloved hand lightly fell on the top of the leader's hair.

Then rub it.

[Okay, okay, let me help you finish processing the documents quickly, and then go out to eat something. 】

[Only once this week!How many people are staring at you, hastily appeared outside...]

Under his Xu Xu's instructions, Yuan Xiwu bent his eyes.

【Hmmm, the third 'just this time' this week. 】

【…】

Seeing that Zhongyuan Zhong was also choked by him, Yuan Xiwu laughed again.

[Don't be so nervous, senior. 】

[The senior with the ceiling of combat power is by my side, who can assassinate me? 】

Nakahara Chuya opened his mouth, he wanted to warn Yuan Xiwu that no matter how careful he was, he wanted to talk about those deadly poisons and assassination methods, but soon, he stopped, and the picture dissipated from him like mist. go.

Sitting behind the desk was still Mori Ogai, crossing his fingers on his chin, waiting for Nakahara Nakaya's answer.

Zhong Yuanzhong also opened his mouth slowly, and for a moment, everything in that vaguely visible scene was on the tip of his tongue, as if he could taste the sweet juice with a light sip.But he just sucked it in his mouth, he couldn't open his mouth, he couldn't squeeze it.

[If you want to leave one day, please don't make things difficult for me. 】

At this moment, Nakahara also realized what Mr. Mori was waiting for with a smile.That was his answer, it was the powerful shackles he imposed on Yuan Xiwu, and it was the terrible fetters left behind by Yuan Xiwu's personal will!

He finally realized it all.

Mori Ogai was still speaking slowly.

"Although I've thought about it, will Chuya-kun feel uncomfortable because his subordinates have become bosses..."

"Sure enough, it's unlikely to happen, after all, it's Chuya-kun."

"Chuya-kun will definitely not mind this, and maybe he will be proud of it. The subordinates brought out by himself have the qualities of a leader. For seniors, it is really a great success."

"...Chuya-kun?"

After not getting a reply for a long time, Mori Ogai raised his head, and turned his questioning eyes to this capable subordinate who had always been loyal to him.Zhong Yuanzhong also managed to pull himself together, he thought that his acting skills had probably never been played so well before.

"I thought it would be Dazai."

"Dazai-kun is indeed my choice, but Yugiri-kun is more stable, isn't he?" Mori Ogai said with a smile, "Besides, he is also a subordinate led by Chuya. I trust his ability very much."

Being watched by the leader's earnest eyes, Zhongyuan Zhong also opened his mouth repeatedly, and finally, his expression calmed down strangely.

"leader."

He raised his cobalt blue pupils with an unusually calm expression, almost as if he was facing a powerful enemy on the battlefield.

"I don't think Yuan Xiwu can become the leader of Mafia at the port."

At that moment, apart from his own voice, Zhong Yuanzhong also vaguely heard the soft voice of the pale-faced child in the former ward.After Mori Ogai left a word, he gave the space to Nakahara Nakaya and Genyuki Kiri. Facing the child who seemed to disappear on the hospital bed at any moment, Nakahara Nakahara was quite helpless.

In the end, he could only start with a self-introduction.

He held out his hand to the child—

"Central Plains Chuya, from now on, he will be your senior."

He saw the child's eyelashes fluttering up like butterfly wings, stared at him silently for a while, and finally reached out his hand as if giving up everything, and put the cold fingertips into his palm.

"Call me Xiwu... that's fine."

"Senior Zhongye."
