Has Mr. Zhongya changed back today?

In the center of Yokohama, there are several towering office buildings. The shell of the building is as smooth and beautiful as the surface of water. The special glass curtain wall reflects the white clouds and the blue sky. People inside can clearly see the street view outside the wall, but they cannot see it outside. Inside, it is almost the same as the commercial buildings of most companies only in appearance.

This is one of the real estates of the port Mafia and the building where the headquarters is located.

Zhongyuan Zhong also looked at the all-too-familiar tall buildings in front of him. In just two days, he felt absurd as if he had been in another world.

"Do you remember everything I told you?" He looked away, looking at the orange-haired man who got out of the car, with a very worried tone.

Mizuho Nishino vowed: "Don't worry, no matter what I say, I am writing novels. Using the way I usually write and create characters, I try to summarize and deduce Mr. Nakaya's speaking habits and behavior style. I should be able to fool the past."

"Yes, it sounds very reassuring." He responded perfunctorily.

Nakahara also wondered if she knew that what she was going to face was the leader of the port Mafia?

If Mafia is the dark side of Yokohama, the apex of the organization, it is the deepest darkness in Yokohama.

"Listen, if you are exposed, just push it on me. You don't know anything, just follow my orders, understand?" He stared at her intently, his eyes sharp.

Nishino Mizuho nodded subconsciously, and his tense expression was relieved a little, only to find that her bow tie was crooked, "Don't move." Considering his own image, he stretched out his hand to tidy up for her.

She froze for a moment, looking at the face close at hand.

She likes to loose her long hair, but he dislikes the inconvenience of having her hair tied up. She usually wears skirts, and it is impossible for Zhong Yuanzhong to wear them like this. She also chooses refined shirts and trousers. Even if she uses her body and owns her She couldn't be more familiar with that face. When she looked at him, she never had the illusion of looking in a mirror.

He is so different from her, his expression has a flamboyance and sharpness that she doesn't have.At this moment, his eyelashes were lowered, and in front of her, he carefully smoothed her neckline and bow tie.She could vaguely feel the warmth of his fingers slipping over the light shirt inadvertently.

It seems... a bit awkward.

"I, I'm going up." As soon as he finished and backed away, she stuttered for no reason, then turned and left.

Zhong Yuanzhong also looked at her suspiciously, not knowing why she was nervous, and responded strangely.

……

Huh... she was startled.

He was too close.

She touched the cross tie under the neckline, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. Why was she so shy about her body?

When Mizuho Nishino writes and conceives the plot, he often has a powerful and unconstrained mind in his mind, which can't be seen on the surface.After entering the building, when she was thinking wildly, she could calmly nod to the passing subordinates, and take the elevator to the highest floor according to the route map Nakahara Chuya drew her.

The glass elevator can provide a panoramic view of the street view outside the office building. As the building on the ground gradually shrinks, the numbers in the elevator keep jumping. When she is about to reach the top floor, she closes her eyes and takes a deep breath, letting go of the strange thoughts in her mind Swept away.

The elevator door opened, and the corridor outside was covered with dark red plush carpets.

It's not that she doesn't have the consciousness of "I'm not normal". Ordinary girls face this situation where they have to exchange their identities with Mafia officials and have to act in front of a group of dangerous people. Maybe they have cried a long time ago, but she can't force herself to be afraid, right? ?

She seemed to have a correct understanding of her situation objectively, but subjectively she couldn't fully participate in it.

Or maybe it's because the person she swapped with was Mr. Chuya, he was so nice to her that she was a little lacking in vigilance.

Soon she will see the existence above the dark side of Yokohama. Since the port Mafia is the inner world of Yokohama, the leader of Mafia should be the "king" of this world, right?

Now that things have developed, Mizuho Nishino is still a little nervous no matter how big-hearted he is.

The corridor is shrouded in a layer of faint milky white light source. The location of the light source cannot be seen on the surface. Naturally, the location of the security devices such as the infrared warning system and the camera cannot be found. The walls on both sides are solid, and the chief's office is at the end of the corridor. The carved double doors are too conspicuous to ignore. There are two strong guards in black suits standing at the door.

Nishino Mizuho walked over with a blank expression on his face.

The guard with the gun greeted him: "Mr. Chuya."

She nodded and knocked on the door of the chief's office.

"Boss, I'm Zhongya Zhongyuan, and I'm here to report to you." She said calmly according to the words Mr. Chuya taught her, carefully considering her tone.

A wonderful conversation came from the office:

"Little Alice, don't you really want to wear it? You'll be cute in it, just wear it once, just once!"

"Don't wear it! Lin Taro, I'll be angry if you do this again."

Mizuho Nishino: "..."

It turned out to be the case.

Nakaya-san's workplace environment is really complicated.

She gradually understood everything.

The chasing and squabbling inside quickly stopped, "Come in, Mr. Zhongye." The male voice sounded again, the tone was not sweet and disgusting before, and suddenly became calm and serious.

The guard got the order to push the door open, and the bright light inside instantly flooded the corridor. She paused before walking in. There was a glass curtain wall in the office, and the sunlight came in unscrupulously, illuminating the room brightly.

Mizuho Nishino had a preliminary idea of ​​the office of Chief Mafia before he came. For example, since Chief Mafia is the most vicious person in Yokohama, the place where he is may also have a dark and chaotic feeling like the "Dragon's Lair".

At least it would be in line with her imagination if the lights were not turned on all year round and kept in the dark. Of course, she did not communicate her thoughts with Zhongya Zhongyuan, otherwise he would have looked at her strangely and asked: "What do you think the port Mafia is? What a place."

Sitting behind the mahogany desk is a middle-aged man. His figure is slightly slender. He wears a black coat with a black suit inside and a red scarf casually draped over the collar of the coat. There are almost no traces of age on his face. The facial features are correct, and the man is watching her with a smile at this moment.

Next to the man, sitting by the window seat was a little girl with blond hair and blue eyes, wearing a deep red Lolita-style dress, drawing on paper with a crayon.

The leader of Port Mafia, Mori Ogai.

There was another girl in the office whom Zhong hadn't introduced. According to the conversation she heard in the corridor just now, she should be "Alice".

She checked the information quietly.

"I've already read the report. Because of Dazai-kun's departure, the restless organizations below thought they had found an opportunity to take advantage of this opportunity to transfer the money that Mafia entrusted to them. You noticed it in advance. The 'gentleman's' plan, the troops are not wasted, well done."

The leader propped his elbows on the table, clasped his fingers slightly, and calmly reminded: "Is there any other information that you want to add, Mr. Zhongye?"

She thought for a while: "The gentleman's purpose is not just Twilight's funds. He is looking for a gem called 'Pandora'. The transfer of funds is also to raise enough capital. The gentleman has committed suicide. This is the information Charlie gave before his death. Credibility very high."

After the gentleman was arrested, he committed suicide by biting through the poison wrapped in tin foil hidden in his mouth on the way back to the headquarters under escort. No further information could be obtained from torture.Of course, Charlie was shot and killed by the gentleman before he had time to explain the incident, but Nakahara also used her supernatural ability to inadvertently get this information. The simple embellishment became the message sent by Charlie on his deathbed.

Only Gentleman, Charlie, and Nakahara Chuya were present at the time. The two were dead. No matter how clever Mori Ogai was, it was impossible to fully guess the situation at that time.

Hearing that Mori Ogai tapped his fingers on the table lightly, he closed his eyes, leaned back on the chair, thought for a while, then raised his eyes with a smile again: "About this matter, it has been confirmed in the report. Has Chuya-kun heard of the name 'Pandora' before?"

He looked at the orange-haired young man standing next to him, with a smile staining the corners of his lips and eyes half hidden in the darkness, but he couldn't tell if he was smiling as well.

Mizuho Nishino failed to notice this, and he didn't even notice it. It seemed to him that it was only a moment of thinking, but how long was it actually.

About Pandora, she only knows the myth of the same name, and some jewelry or products are given the same name by the merchants——Pandora is a character in Greek mythology. It is rumored that God created Pandora and gave her the "Magic Box" for safekeeping. God repeatedly warned Pandora not to open the box, but Pandora still did not overcome her curiosity.She opened the magic box, and plagues, disasters, and panic flew out of the box... The world fell into the chaos brought by the magic box.

Therefore, "Pandora's Box" also means "unfortunate gift", which is sometimes used as a gimmick by merchants, but what a gentleman is looking for may not be a simple item that can be bought in a store.

Mizuho Nishino withdrew her thoughts from the memories, worried that she might make a mistake, so she chose an answer that she thought was the safest, and calmly denied: "No."

"Hmm." Mori Ogai was noncommittal to the answer given by his subordinates.

In an unnerving silence, the leader looked at his subordinates, who looked the same as usual.

The interesting content in the report came to the fore again.

"...Is that so?" Mori Ogai sighed pretending to be regretful, and loosened his interlocking fingers as if he had relaxed, his tone was also joking, not very serious, "I thought that Zhong, who was in charge of this business, You will understand these things better."

Ah... this sentence is simply a reminder.

Mizuho Nishino suddenly remembered that Mr. Nakaya was really good at looking at gemstones. He was in charge of monitoring the circulation of smuggled gemstones in Mafia. There were several gemstone-related books on the bookshelf, and some accessories such as collar pin cuff buttons in the cloakroom were decorated with various gemstones.

But she didn't check with him whether he knew about Pandora's gems.

Could it be that it was revealed?No way……?

Facing the leader of Mafia, she couldn't keep silent, so Mizuho Nishino hesitated for a while, and after careful deliberation, said: "There are many things with the same name on the market, but the gems that gentlemen are looking for should not be bought in stores. arrive."

"It is said that among the gemstones in the world, one of them will shed tears when facing the moonlight, just like the tears that Pandora shed when she opened the magic box in the myth. If you get this gemstone, you will live forever. It's just a legend."

Mori Ogai briefly mentioned the rumors, it seems that some organization is also looking for Pandora, he is not interested in such false stories, and brought back the topic: "Chuya-kun, I called you here not for the legend, but for the Another important thing that you didn't mention in the report."

Things not mentioned in the report...

Her heart skipped a beat, she swallowed quietly, and then continued in a calm voice: "Leader, please speak frankly."

"Hey," Mori Ogai sighed softly, and said bluntly, "The report handed in by the Ministry of Intelligence mentioned that the girl who was with Chuya-kun helped you a lot. First The first time I performed a mission with you, I cooperated very well, handled things decisively, and my skills were good, not even like a novice."

Mizuho Nishino pursed his lips.

Sure enough, as expected of the leader of Mafia, have you seen her identity?

She struggled hard, but couldn't think of a way to quibble, so she looked away.

"So," he noticed the change in his subordinate's expression, and smiled slightly, "I don't know if she is interested in joining the port of Mafia."

She was about to admit that she was not Zhongye of the Central Plains, but she was stunned after hearing this: "Huh?"

"Nakaya-kun's reaction, don't you want to?" Mori Ogai looked even more surprised than her, as if he gradually understood something, his eyes widened slightly, "Could it be that those rumors on the forum are true?"

The cadre Zhong Yuanzhong was also entangled by a woman with a child, but he was unwilling to take responsibility and hoped that the woman would die in the fight.

Mori Ogai felt that he couldn't even do such a thing.

Although he knew in his heart that he was facing Mafia, who represented the inner world itself, Mori Ogai's expression was too vivid, and Mizuho Nishino unconsciously relaxed his psychological defense.

"What forum rumors?" She subconsciously asked back. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Mafia's leader's unpredictable expression, and hurriedly pretended to cough to make up for the flaw. "Heh, no, I just think it's better for her to decide this kind of thing herself."

She couldn't answer this question, after all, she couldn't ask someone who had already joined Mafia to do it again.

"That is to say, as long as she agrees, Nakaya-kun himself will not interfere. Is it understandable?" Mori Ogai nodded slightly, and he dialed the internal line with the old-fashioned telephone on the table, "Please come over Miss Nishino .”

Nishino Mizuho suddenly realized.

From the beginning to the end of the report, "her" name was not mentioned.

The leader of the port Mafia had already investigated her identity, set up a bait, and waited for her to take the bait.

After a while, the closed double doors opened again, and a sassy woman with tea-haired green eyes walked in. She first glanced at Mizuho Nishino, and seeing that she was fine, she turned to Mori Ogai: "Boss."

"Why did Miss Nishino call me the leader?" Mori Ogai asked strangely.

Nakahara also paused, he thought that Mizuho Nishino had been exposed, and he was going to explain the matter clearly despite the embarrassment, and pick her out.

Since things haven't gotten that bad yet, he said vaguely, "Because you are the leader of Zhongye in the Central Plains."

Unexpectedly, his answer had other meanings in the eyes of the leader of Mafia. Mori Ogai looked at his subordinates who were confused, and then looked at him with extra respect just because he admired Nakaya-kun. This kind of tea-haired woman who dared to come to Longtan and Tiger's Den increasingly felt that what the posts on the internal forum said was true.

Considering that the Nishino Consortium has a lot of hidden secrets and things worth using, Mori Ogai smiled and invited: "Maybe I invite Miss Nishino to come here to ask for your opinion. I wonder if Miss Nishino is interested in joining Port Mafia?"

Zhongyuan Zhong was also stunned: "Huh?"

Same reaction as she did just now.
