Poverty Alleviation Princess 2

Gossip is more attractive than work.

Especially when I eat melons and eat my friends, I feel sorry for chasing the news for so long without talking about it.

——A friend who thinks unilaterally is also a friend.

So he not only eats melons by himself, but also brings in his friends.

And when this gossip was passed on again, it had changed from simply "those two children are the children of his relatives/goddess" to:

[The child of the goddess and the younger sister of the ex-girlfriend both lost their families when they were young, and no one took them in. After discovering the letter that the mother had written to Sakunosuke Oda, they came here together according to the address, so the three started a romantic cohabitation life] This kind of light title unfolded.

"It turns out that Oda Tsukuru used to experience such youthful pain in the past."

"Two underage girls? This is a crime!"

The same content, the two audiences also gave completely different reactions.

The young man with glasses pushed his own glasses.

Despite the notoriety of the port mafia, it's still too low a threshold to do anything to underage girls (or two).

Not to mention the influence of ethics and morality, just as a friend, he can't allow such things to continue.

Seeing him like this, the black-haired boy next to him who was covered in bandages and seemed to be performing some kind of performance art also spoke righteously:

"That's right, we can't miss Le... we can't watch our friends go down the path of crime!"

The young man's voice was full of spirit and resounding.

If you don't look at the appearance and identity but only listen to the voice, then it really feels like a righteous boy who is a hero and is ready to do everything to prevent his friends from going on the road of no return.

——that is, the last party is not here.

Otherwise, a spy of the port mafia, a cadre of the port mafia, and a low-level employee of the port mafia are involved.

Who gave you the confidence to think this is "crime deterrence"?

"Ah!"

The red-haired youth suddenly sneezed.

"Are you okay? Did you catch a cold from the rain?"

"Well... I'll go and boil some hot water."

Facing the concern of the two girls, Oda Sakunosuke shook his head.

"No, it's just a little itchy."

After sneezing, I feel nothing.

"Compared to this, let's talk about Bailan Jesso."

Prynne Jesso.

Even the bottom-level Oda Sakunosuke has heard of this name.

The Jesso family was originally one of many little-known small families in Italy.

As the "base camp of the mafia", there are dozens if not hundreds of similar families.

In the past, this family was just like people's perception of this type of family. It had some abilities, but it was not eye-catching.

Although Bai Lan, as the heir of the family, is very smart, she is not as well-known as the heir of Pengelie.

Not even Dino of the Gabrielone family is as famous.

However, such a family suddenly rose one day, and then rapidly expanded and developed at an unimaginable speed, becoming one of the top forces that people have to fear.

Even if there is no foundation, it should not be underestimated at all.

In particular, his business is not like the conventional mafia, which is mainly based in a certain region and then radiates a small amount of overseas markets. Instead, it is uncharacteristically spread all over the world.

And it completed the process from rooting to flowering at the speed of wildfire.

Even Yokohama is no exception.

For this purpose, the port mafia has assigned some people to be responsible for this aspect.

And when it comes down to it, low-level workers like Oda Sakunosuke start working overtime.

"Yes..." Youni looked hesitantly at Miss Yuan beside him.

If you don't know this, it's inconvenient to tell the man in front of you.

Not that I was wary of him or suspicious of him.

It was because I simply didn't want to involve the good people who helped me, so I thought maybe it would be better not to know.

After all, that person...

Recalling the actions of that person he saw in other worlds, Yoni couldn't help but shudder.

"It doesn't matter. Since Mr. Oda kindly took us in, as one of the parties involved, he has the right to know the truth."

A Yuan patted Yoni's clenched hand on his thigh.

"If something really happens, I will still be there. I will find a way to protect you."

A Yuan patted her chest as she spoke, and said very responsibly.

only……

Oda Sakunosuke glanced at the schoolboy-like figure, and undeniably retracted his gaze and continued to look at Yuni.

It's a good thing to have this kind of heart, so don't deny it.

Yoni nodded as if encouraged:

"I see."

"Bryn? Jesso...has actually ruled several worlds."

So Oda Sakunosuke heard a story from the girl's mouth that was more like science fiction than reality—and it was a science fiction story with a strong imagination.

For example, that Bailan Jesso actually has his own power to communicate with the parallel world.So he relied on this power to obtain technology and information from different worlds, and he could then share this information with himself in other worlds.

Therefore, Bailan Jesso in all worlds can always be one step ahead by sharing information, whether it is land enclosure, investment or technological output.

He can always walk in front of everyone, and use the shortest time and the least money to get the greatest benefit.

"And all his achievements are immediate."

"There is no need for ten or ten years of scientific research investment, nor does it need a large number of professionals to investigate and evaluate, and there is no need to bet like a gambler on whether the direction is correct or whether the purchased land has profitable veins."

"Not every time, but every month, every week can make profitable decisions."

"This is the reason why Bailan Jesso was able to rise at such an unimaginable speed."

Yoni kept his expression on as he told the creepy story to others.

"As time goes by, the Jesso family will be found in everything from mine machinery to technology terminals. By this time, it will be too late to act."

The girl talked about the endings of each world in a mature tone that did not match her age.

"That is……"

Oda Sakunosuke didn't take her words as nonsense.But based on his experience, it was hard to imagine what kind of world that was.

After all, that sounds too far-fetched.

Don't even dare to write that.

At the same time, he was also keenly aware of one thing.

"You said that he has ruled many worlds, so if he is still hunting you, does that mean it's not over yet?"

"If 'Battle for Hegemony' is written as a story, then 'Unify the World' should be the end of the story."

As the protagonist, he has achieved his original dream, and he has also obtained all that this planet can give him.

Then it's time to stop.

If the protagonist is still acting, it proves that there are still parts that have not been obtained or completed.

If this is really a book, then there should be a 'Outside Story' or 'Part Two' at this time.

Oda Sakunosuke transformed it into a pattern he could understand.

"Yes...it's not over yet."

Youni was a little surprised and a little moved that he could understand so quickly.

She was actually ready for the other party to think she was talking nonsense.

——After all, there is no material evidence for everything she said.

"Because he hasn't fully obtained the third power of seven." Youni hesitated for a while, not knowing how to explain it.

Seeing her in such a dilemma, Ah Yuan took over the topic: "If it is used to explain it, it is probably equivalent to the adventure, where the villain occupied the kingdom, but failed to get the artifact scepter that symbolizes royal power... I guess so."

"If he doesn't get this artifact for a day, his throne will always be overthrown... This kind of setting should be quite common here?"

As long as the artifact is not taken away for a day, the protagonist group has a chance to overthrow the powerful villain.

Maybe there will be some "true and false artifacts" in the middle, "you will not be recognized if you take the artifact and then you will be killed by the artifact or the artifact is simply a trap", "the person who takes the artifact and uses it will be taken away by the remnant soul in the artifact ' and the like fancy expansion.

If it is an unserious Nikki work, then the next step may be that the artifact itself is a girl, and getting the artifact = getting a wife...

"There is indeed such a setting."

The red-haired youth put his hands on his chin and began to think.

Entering the familiar field, Oda Sakunosuke's thinking turned faster.

"So...Miss Youni, is that 'artifact'?"

"Yes, she is the artifact girl."

Huh?So it seems that it really fits the light setting?

...I'm not an artifact.

Yoni looked left and then right, not knowing where to start to explain.

The topic also turned from serious and tense at the beginning to a strange place.

But also thanks to this strange metaphor, Yoni also relaxed a lot.

Seeing the two of them discussing the topic of "villains and artifacts" in a serious manner, she even sighed helplessly.

... Forget it, let's wait until the two of you have said enough.

"So Miss Youni chose to escape in order to prevent Bailan Jesso from ruling all the worlds?" Oda Sakunosuke, who thought he understood it thoroughly, made a conclusion.

"Yes." Youni held the teacup in front of him, and his relaxed expression became tense again.

"Although... I have a certain degree of predictive ability, but the predictive ability itself is very limited, and I can't get the knowledge and information I want like looking up information like Bai Lan."

"Although everyone in Kirineoro is also very strong, compared to Prynne, who has the accumulation of several worlds, it is still..."

Before Youni finished speaking, a sad expression appeared on her beautiful face.

"If I continue to stay there, then everyone will be held hostage by Bai Lan."

Either be destroyed or annexed.

Neither of these turned out to be what Yoni wanted, so she escaped.

And Japan, because of its geographical location surrounded by the sea, is a place where Bailan Jesso's influence radiates relatively little... It should be able to delay for a while until the "over there" is ready.

"I'm really sorry for bringing you danger." Yuni apologized to Sakunosuke Oda squarely.

In any case, sheltering oneself is a very dangerous thing.

It is only natural to be kicked out because of this.

"No, it's nothing."

The redhead shook his head.

"It's enough if you are willing to tell me everything."

Everyone has their own past, and there are many things that they don't want to tell others.Being able to tell yourself is already an expression of trust and honesty.

Bailan Jesso's influence certainly alerted the port mafia.But after all, it hasn't reached the point where the sword is on the verge of breaking out. In addition, he is in Japan—at least in Yokohama, he hasn't formed a climate yet, so naturally he doesn't have to worry so much.

If it's just three or five investigators, Oda Sakunosuke thinks he can still think of a solution.

How can there be any reason to drive two girls out because of the danger that has not yet arrived?

"It's just a pity that the two of you can only stay in this simple house."

The boss has already helped him a lot, and these two children are so dangerous.

Although Oda Sakunosuke made the decision to "take in the two", he didn't care about the danger they brought.But that doesn't mean putting those kids at risk.

That's why he chose to keep those five bosses who apparently had nothing to do with him or the port mafia.

"It just so happens that my current job involves investigating Bailan Jesso's influence in Yokohama. In terms of intelligence, I will also think of a way."

He smiled.

Then he took out the packed takeaway box, which contained the curry he specially packed and brought back, and two of them were non-spicy curry specially for the two of them.

"Then, let's eat curry today too."

"Uh..." Although you shouldn't be picky if you live under the fence.

But the concentration of curry in this home... is it a little, a little bit high?

-

What Sakunosuke Oda said about thinking of ways in terms of intelligence was not perfunctory. Among the jobs he received recently, there happened to be a project to investigate Bailan Jesso's industry in Yokohama.

Because it was not a task to go immediately, he originally planned to go after finishing the work at hand in the past few days.

After all, it doesn't matter if it's early or late.

But now that there is a need, it is better to choose a date than hit the date and forget it today.

"Wait!" However, after he explained his plan to the two, A Yuan, who claimed to be an adult (doubtful), suddenly interrupted him.

"is there a problem?"

"Have you applied for funding for your investigation?" The girl looked at the red-haired young man in front of her seriously.

And Oda Sakunosuke was stunned for more than ten seconds before reacting:

"what?"

Seeing that he didn't seem to understand, A Yuan patiently explained to him: "You are considered a field job, right? And you are going to be hostile...ah, it seems that there is no hostility yet, so since you are all considered mafia, you can be considered as a mafia for the time being." A competing product company. Since we are going to a competing product company to investigate information, how can there be no funds."

"Transportation expenses, catering expenses... If you go further, it may also involve the cost of buying the other party's staff. You can't pay for this out of your own pocket, can you?"

"Uh……"

"Even if you don't talk about burying a nail, just buying one-time information will cost money. If you add some favors, go to dinner and sing kabuki... woo woo woo."

Before the girl finished speaking, she was covered by Oda Sakunosuke.

I won't talk about how you are so proficient... This word is said from the mouth of a child who looks like a primary school student, no matter how you hear it, it is wrong.

Oda Sakunosuke doesn't think he is a good person, and he can't just look at the child like this and say restricted grade.

A Yuan took half a step back to avoid the young man's hand, and said seriously: "In short, you have to ask for money."

"Whether you need it or not, and how much you use it is one thing, but if you don't apply for a valid reason, you are stupid."

A Yuan pointed to his head, and continued: "I don't know how the mafia usually approves funds, but this kind of investigation by competing product companies, how can they apply for this amount."

Yuan raised his hand, spread five fingers and waved in front of Oda Sakunosuke.

"Five thousand?"

"It's fifty thousand!" A Yuan looked at the young man in front of him in shock.

"Do you still expect that 5000 yuan can buy someone? 5000 yuan may not even be enough for a better restaurant."

"It's true that the less conspicuous the exchange of information, the better, but if you want to buy people and only buy ramen from the street or a family restaurant, then people will only think, 'Is there something wrong with the poor man's brain who wants to buy news'?"

The young man who just put a gun to his head to solve the problem: "..."

"So listen to me, you go and apply for five... no, try for one hundred thousand."

Since it is the mafia, you should understand the importance of intelligence about competing companies, right?

It's better to leave room for bargaining than to come up and pick and choose.

Their bottom line is [-], but not necessarily the other side.If you meet a sensible employee, they will always earn something if they approve a [-] yuan.

Being taken in by kind people, then Ah Yuan naturally couldn't just sit back and watch people suffer.

Oda Sakunosuke... blinked, and then... blinked again.

"It doesn't matter if you suffered a loss before, I will teach you now."

A Yuan patted his chest and promised.

"That's what you do when the time comes, and then if he asks, then you answer like this."

"Or he says this, and you answer that."

"Because... Anyway..." A Yuan said with a dry mouth, took the water glass next to him and drank it to his heart's content, "Do you remember? That's it."

"Even if the other party doesn't strictly follow what I said, it doesn't matter. It's the same content after all. You can rearrange and answer when the time comes."

"In short, grasp the core, that is, you don't spend the money for yourself, every dollar you spend is to obtain more information for the organization!"

"This……"

Oda Sakunosuke stared dumbfounded at the girl whose aura suddenly rose in front of her, and even her figure seemed to be as tall as a girl.

"Do you understand?"

Seeing that he was still at a loss, A Yuan asked again.

"that……"

"understand!"

"Understood." The young man nodded.

"Very good." A Yuan was also satisfied.

"Then go ahead and apply, and wait for the money to come down before going."

Oda Sakunosuke bit the bullet and went to apply.

In fact, he didn't want to do such a troublesome thing, after all, being in his early years means trouble.

And trouble often means danger.

But the girl's spirited guidance convinced him.

If Oda Sakunosuke had attended school well, he would have understood the feeling of a student fishing for fish who just happened to be caught by a well-respected dean.

It's a pity that he has been a child out of school since he was a child. He can only think that what the other party said is too reasonable, and he is convinced so he obeys.

What was even more unexpected to him was that the money was actually applied for.

And it is still 10 yen without any discount.

"If it's an ordinary company, most of them are reimbursed by you." The person who gave him the money babbled, as if wanting him to remember the goodness of the port mafia, "that is, working here is risky. You can’t let people take risks and return your own money, that’s why it’s so straightforward.”

Of course, the main thing is these three melons and two dates. It’s not troublesome enough to get reimbursed, so it’s better to just pay the money.

After finishing speaking, the clerk drove Oda Sakunosuke away and replaced him.

——It also made Oda Sakunosuke swallow what he originally wanted to say.

He originally wanted to ask "if you don't use it up, do you want to return it?"

However, looking at the other party's appearance, it should be... no need.

Originally, Oda Sakunosuke was ready to investigate without money, but now that he has the money, he is of course more active.

So he went back and reported to A Yuan that "I did get the investigation fee", and he was ready to leave.

however……

"and many more."

Ah Yuan stopped him again.

The red-haired youth turned his head and looked over with puzzled eyes:

What happened this time?

Didn't you get the money?

"I'll go too."

The girl stood up.

"If you're investigating, you have to pretend, right? Don't you think that people will bring their children with them when they do dangerous things. Wouldn't it be a wonderful disguise in reverse?"

As she spoke, she put on her coat.

"It's too dangerous to know Yoni's face, I'm different. No one in this world should know me...if none of my acquaintances are there."

"So if we pretend to be siblings and go together, it will be perfect."

Even if what he said made sense, Oda Sakunosuke would not let a child take risks.

After all, it was the territory of the ruthless characters who ruled the world in other worlds.

Oda Sakunosuke had his own reasons for refusing, and Ayuan also had his own reasons for going with him.

Apart from Bai Lan's matter, he mainly wanted to know more about the situation here.

Although she couldn't work part-time, she didn't give up the idea of ​​open source.

It's not her habit to stay in other people's homes to eat and drink for free.

Even if the owner doesn't mind.

The kind host doesn't mind, it's because of his bodhisattva heart.I can never take other people's bodhisattva heart for granted.

Of course, she also understands that there is no way to convince Oda Sakunosuke.

"I can recognize the power of fire. If there is someone who uses the power of fire, I can tell."

After coming here for a few days, she also understands that 'supernatural power' and 'fire power' are not the same power system.

Speaking of this, after some hesitation, Oda Sakunosuke could only compromise.

The information that the Port Mafia wants is one thing, but the information they need is another. If there are people who use the power of flames, it must be more dangerous to the two children.

"I see."

He sighed.

"I can take you there, but you must listen to me... If there is any danger, never take any risks, let alone me, run as far as you can, can you do it?"

"no problem."

When there is no problem, of course there is no problem. If there is any problem... Of course, the specific problem has been solved specifically.

After making complete preparations, the two finally found Bailan Jesso's property in Yokohama according to the address given by the port mafia.

The location is a good location for people to come and go, and the building is also a decent building.

This is the shop...

"Triple sweet."

A Yuan read out the text on the shop's pink signboard.

Oda Sakunosuke... the expression on his face became even more rigid.

"How do you look at it, is it a dessert shop?"

And it's the kind of flagship store.
