Chapter 172 42(2/3)
"What gust of wind brought you here?"
Mori Ogai had a smile on his face that he was used to showing when dealing with official matters, "I remember that my subordinates have been very peaceful recently, and they probably haven't bothered the senior officials of the Special Agents Division to personally dispatch them.
It really makes Sen not very frightened."
"This kind of temptation is unnecessary, Mori Ogai, you should know why I am here."
The old man interrupted Mori Ogai's pleasantries and got to the point concisely and clearly, "I'm here because of Ling Qianjin's matter..."
Speaking of this, the old man's face showed a trace of true sadness, "I'm very sorry about her, please have my condolences."
Mori Ogai paused for a moment, then smiled and said: "It seems that there are some things that I don't know about between my daughter and you."
"Are you really not clear?"
"Ley is a very independent kid."
Mori Ogai didn't lie on this matter. To be honest, he was not surprised by the arrival of the Special Forces Division of the Ministry of Supernatural Powers, but he also really didn't know what they were here for.
"...Many times, in order to protect Alice and I from getting involved in unnecessary danger, Rai would completely hide what she was going to do."
It wasn't until the last moment that he was caught off guard.
Mori Ogai smiled bitterly and said: "I seem to have talked about irrelevant things... please forgive me."
"No……"
The people from the Special Forces Division of the Ministry of Special Abilities, who disliked Hong Kong/Kuro, could not treat a father who had lost his daughter with a cold expression at this time. The old man sighed with regret, "Mori Rai, she has done a great job for Yokohama."
We are aware of everything we have done... we should officially express her contribution."
The old man handed an envelope to Mori Ogai.
Mori Ogai opened the envelope.
A license to open a business with special abilities - this is something he has been thinking about for the organization since he took up the position of leader. Unexpectedly, it was delivered to him so effortlessly... No, you can't say that.
"My daughter's help to Yokohama turns out to be only worth this piece of paper..."
Mori Ogai's shoulders were trembling. The things he once thought about and wanted to get were thrown onto the table like trash. Mori Ogai laughed angrily, "Are you insulting her?"
"Nothing can be put on the same scale as Senley's achievements. This is not our intention... This is what Senley himself asked for."
The old man sighed, "Your daughter is so kind to you."
The girl didn't say anything, she just did great things silently, and finally gave her father everything he wanted without asking for anything in return.
Knowing the path that Morrai secretly paved for her adoptive father, everyone in the Special Agents Section of the Ministry of Supernatural Powers doubted whether Mori Ogai had saved the galaxy in his previous life, and that was why he picked up such a good little cotton-padded jacket in this life.
Mori Ogai couldn't say anything. Until the people from the Special Forces Division of the Ministry of Supernatural Powers left, he sat quietly on a chair overlooking the entire Yokohama through the window. He felt lonely as never before.
"...Rintaro."
Alice's voice brought back Mori Ogai's sanity.
Facing the little blond lolita who was hesitant to speak, Mori Ogai reluctantly raised a smile and said, "Come somewhere with me, Alice."
Mori Ogai took Alice's hand and left the office, and the special ability business license was casually thrown on the table, ignored.
——
Mori Ogai and Alice came to the Ideal House. Because of Rai's relationship, Alice followed him and visited the door several times. Everyone here knew that the young doctor at the Ideal House had a precious sister and knew that Alice was arrogant.
She doesn't like to get close to outsiders, and people who see her just show kind eyes and don't come forward to disturb her.
This was the first time I had seen the man holding Alice's hand. He had a dignified appearance and the aura of a man of power. At first glance, he was not an ordinary person.
This is Mori Ogai's first time coming to the ideal home. Before, he just watched from a distance and asked Alice to come and inquire on his behalf. Now, he came in person because it was important to find an ideal home.
Dean, that man who suddenly appeared in Yokohama like Rai, with unfathomable strength.
"Are you looking for Mr. Yoshida?"
Oda Sakunosuke looked at the man in front of him and said: "After he handed over the management of the Ideal House to me, he left... I don't know where he went."
He left too? The timing was too coincidental.
Mori Ogai came a step too late, and he was a little regretful. From the beginning to the end, he didn't know what the relationship between Rai and Yoshida Shoyo was.
When I came to the ideal house, I couldn't see the people I wanted to see, and I met a bunch of people I didn't really want to see, but Mori Ogai met a bunch of them.
"Ah, he is Rai's cheap adoptive father."
"Walking around without being rude."
Fukuzawa Yukichi, who was facing each other face to face with Ogai Mori, suppressed Edogawa Ranpo's hand pointing at his opponent's nose and lectured him.
Edogawa walked around muttering, while Yosano Akiko hid most of her body behind Fukuzawa Yukichi, staring at Mori Ogai with angry and wary eyes.
"Why are you here?"
Facing Mori Ogai's question, Fukuzawa Yukichi was silent for a while and chose to tell the truth, "We are here to fulfill the deal with Rai."
Mori Ogai's mood was very complicated, probably somewhere between the shock of 'Lei, how much of the funeral arrangements did you hide from me?' and the helplessness of 'Forget it, it's okay...'
"A voluntary check-up on the physical condition of each child in Ideal Home is conducted every month. Whenever there are difficult diseases that Akiko can solve, Akiko will be responsible to the end."
Yukichi Fukuzawa handed the contract signed with Rai to Ogai Mori, "For a monthly voluntary inspection, this workload is entrusted to a nearby hospital, and the commission price for our supervision is 300,000 per time.
As for what Akiko needs to do, the price is based on the number of patients, with a price of 2 million per person. The cost of ordinary illnesses will be communicated by Director Oda to the hospital.
Ley has deposited 10 billion in the bank in advance, and specialized lawyers and accountants are responsible for handling it..."
"...The contract will be terminated until all 10 billion is spent. If it needs to be renewed -"
Fukuzawa Yukichi said: "It depends on your wishes, Mori Ogai."
"I see."
After briefly reading the contract, Mori Ogai closed it and handed it back to Fukuzawa Yukichi. He didn't seem to take it seriously, "Let's go with what she finalized first."
"……How are you?"
Even if there were unhappy moments due to disagreements over ideas, it would be false to say that Fukuzawa Yukichi was not worried about the mental state of his former colleagues after losing their daughter.
"I never thought I could get such a greeting from you."
Mori Ogai smiled slightly, like a casual chat after work, and exchanged words with Fukuzawa Yukichi: "Fukuzawa, what do you think of Yokohama today?"
"Far beyond my dreams."
Fukuzawa Yukichi replied: "But this is based on the sacrifice of a girl. If everything is too late, I will not agree with her doing this... But at present, all we can do is to use more
She protected this place in a strict and gentle way and conveyed her will."
"……yes."
After listening to Fukuzawa Yukichi's words, Mori Ogai had an epiphany and was silent for a long time. When he opened his eyes again, his face returned to the shrewd and cold-blooded look of the Mafia leader, as if the vulnerability he just showed was just Fukuzawa.
Ze Yuji and others are dazzled by the illusion.
"There are still many enemies..."
He had no time to grieve anymore.
"I have to use my own way to protect Yokohama."
To protect the city that she and Mori Ogai love.
Mori Ogai left these words, turned around and left the three of them with a determined look on his back, and slowly walked away.
"he……"
Yosano Akiko hesitated and asked: "Does he really think that Rai is..."
"I think so."
Fukuzawa Yukichi looked at Mori Ogai's retreating back and said with certainty: "Even the most cold-blooded person has a soft place in his heart... This incident has dealt a big blow to him."
"I still feel a little unbelievable -"
Yosano Akiko felt that the past few days were really magical, "Tell me, is Rai really dead?"
Just for Yokohama, he gave his life so calmly... Yosano Akiko couldn't quite understand it.
"It's better to treat her as dead."
"Ranstep."
Seeing Yosano Akiko's sad look, Fukuzawa Yukichi shouted to stop the merciless Edogawa Ranpo.
"If we can no longer sit together and eat snacks... it will be no different than if she died."
Edogawa glanced aside randomly, blocking the view of the two of them, "If you don't have expectations, you don't have to wait so hopelessly."
——
"I'll wait."
Zhongyuan Zhongya stood on the coast, facing the icy sea breeze, his black suit jacket dancing with the wind, and Hairu's eyes revealed a tenacious gaze, "She is not dead."
Dazai Osamu, who was standing one meter away from him, was staring at the horizon with a pessimistic attitude, "...Are you going to continue to deceive yourself and others like this?"
"Whatever you say."
To be continued...
