Slayer of Gods: I lied; I became the agent of the Nine Gods.

"Odasaku!"

Oda Sakunosuke had just finished the task assigned to him to handle the scene and was about to go back when he was stopped by a familiar voice.

He turned to look at the person who had come: "Dazai, you've come too."

The boy with iris-colored eyes had one eye showing, while the other was covered by bandages. His eyes, which had been lifeless, seemed to have a glimmer of light when he saw his friend.

"Let's have a drink together tonight, Oda Sakunosuke! And Ango too..."

Dazai Osamu leaped off the roadside flowerbed, his black trench coat billowing behind him, tracing a graceful arc in mid-air.

"The usual place? Okay." Oda Sakunosuke thought about today's task, realized that it was already completed, and did not refuse. He nodded to indicate that he understood.

Dazai Osamu walked over to his friend, looked around, and seemed a little curious:

"Another task to clean up the scene? Judging from the marks around here, it was the dwarf's doing..."

A pile of car wreckage lay scattered in various places, some even bearing obvious man-made dents.

It is obvious that only the power of the Port Mafia could have enabled such a great achievement.

Oda Sakunosuke didn't seem to care and nodded in response, "Yes, there was a conflict with GSS just now, which affected the Chinese delegation visiting Japan. The Central Plains cadre dealt with it."

Visitors to Japan?

Dazai Osamu's gaze held a hint of inquiry.

It's no surprise that GSS is causing trouble during this time.

They're willing to risk offending an entire country to cause trouble, so what exactly are they after?

It couldn't have really been a fight because of a conflict, could it?

The conflict between the Port Mafia and the GSS has been going on for a long time, and if there were really something going on, it wouldn't have needed to erupt at such a sensitive time.

The boy, who was not yet fully grown up, had a maturity and gloom on his face that was rare among ordinary people.

"Oda Sakunosuke, have you seen those Chinese people?"

The red-haired man looked up, a hint of surprise in his eyes: "You didn't know?"

Dazai Osamu waved his hand innocently: "Well... I've been dealing with other things lately... Mori-san didn't mention it either..."

Oda Sakunosuke, unsuspecting, simply said "Oh," and then thought back for a moment:

"The people who came... I only saw a general outline... There should be eight people... five men and three women..."

The man paused for a moment, then added, "Oh, by the way, there was a girl who was blind."

Hmm...he looks quite well-behaved...

Oda Sakunosuke couldn't help but let his thoughts wander to his own child:

Sakura will probably be just as cute when she grows up, right?

Dazai Osamu frowned and stopped asking questions.

It's troublesome. It's almost impossible to guess what the problem is. China's control and secrecy regarding information and intelligence are too good. It's impossible to find a loophole.

After a long while, he stopped worrying about it, grabbed his friend's hand, and a smile returned to his face:

"Why worry about so much... Even if there's trouble, it's Mr. Mori's problem... Let's go for a drink!"

"I'm on vacation for the next few days... Oda Sakunosuke wants to come with me!"

Oda Sakunosuke refused without hesitation: "Probably not, Dazai."

A look of shock crossed the boy's delicate face: "Huh? Why?"

"I'm going to meet an online friend tomorrow. She's coming to Yokohama for a few days, and I promised to show her around for a few days."

Girl, online friend, let's play for a few days!

Dazai Osamu: Oh no, this feels like my house has been raided! (Warning image)

"I want to go too! I want to go too! Oda Sakunosuke's online friend is my online friend!" The boy started his favorite trick of being unreasonable.

Oda Sakunosuke pondered for a few seconds, then said without much thought, "Okay, I'll ask her."

Dazai Osamu sighed deeply.

I've been to Yokohama recently...

Is it intentional?

As expected, he still needs to help his friend make a decision... If all else fails, let's call Ango along!

"Ango's working overtime, isn't he? He's been pulling all-nighters for days..." Oda Sakunosuke said somewhat disapprovingly.

Dazai Osamu then realized that he had inadvertently let slip his final thoughts.

"It's okay, Ango definitely wants to go out and have fun too! We're not busy at all tomorrow!"

The heartless boss cheerfully decided on his friend's life for tomorrow, looking all righteous and self-righteous.

"Where is Oda Sakunosuke's online friend from?" The boy leaned on his friend's shoulder, blinking his right eye.

Oda Sakunosuke paused for a moment, then realized that he hadn't actually asked the other person where they were from.

All I know is that his online friend is a really nice person who loves Chinese literature.

"He's a good man."

Upon hearing Oda Sakunosuke's words, Dazai Osamu laughed out loud: "Oda Sakunosuke didn't ask, did he? You've already assumed the other person is a good person without even meeting him?"

Oda Sakunosuke recalled for a long time his usual chats with the netizen whose ID was "No Man in My Heart".

Emmm...

Knowing that he wanted to write novels, he gave away many Chinese novels that had not yet been published in Japan free of charge.

Upon hearing that he was single and had adopted five children, she started calling him "Baby Dad" repeatedly. She was also very outgoing and even tried to set him up with potential partners, but he politely declined.

I heard he works at a small company (Port Mafia: ???), has to work overtime every day, twelve hours a day, and the salary is a bit low. He also said he's going to Japan soon, so I'm planning to come to his company to check things out and then advise him on whether he should switch jobs...

This person should be considered a very good person, right?

Oda Sakunosuke didn't intend to find out who the other person was, since they would meet tomorrow anyway.

……

"So, in order to prevent Mr. Oda's feelings from being deceived, we have to become spies?"

Ango Sakaguchi was dragged out for drinks right after finishing overtime work. His face, full of the look of a corporate slave, made him appear refined and cultured. Yet, in the dimly lit bar, he blended in harmoniously with his friends in the unique atmosphere.

"Hey, Ango, can you really bear to let Oda Sakunosuke be deceived?"

We don't even know if the other party is a scammer. As Oda Sakunosuke's friend, I definitely have to help him check things out!

Dazai Osamu looked at his friend with deep regret, expressing his disapproval of the other's tactless behavior.

But I'm worried that you might scare someone who was having a perfectly good time meeting up into acting crazy!

Ango Sakaguchi cast a resentful glance at Sakunosuke Oda, who was quietly drinking with his head down to the side.

"Mr. Oda, are you just letting Dazai do whatever he wants?"

We need to control this guy!

Ango Sakaguchi has been incredibly busy lately because the Special Abilities Division is puzzled and suspicious of the fact that the Chinese government has designated the Port Mafia's publicly known port security company to be responsible for the security of their trip to Yokohama. This has kept him, as a spy planted by the Special Abilities Division within the Port Mafia, extremely busy.

As a result, I had just finished resting when I had to give up my vacation again to meet up with my friend.

However, after thinking it over, he realized that Yokohama hadn't been very peaceful lately, and Oda Sakunosuke's online friends could definitely check it out if he decided to meet up at this time...
