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

"You really didn't do it, Aji?"

Lu Yu walked up to Dazai Osamu.

"If I really find out that A-Zhi wants to commit suicide, and even more so, wants to find a pretty girl to commit suicide with..."

The girl pulled out a long knife, her smile growing even brighter.

"I'll definitely make Aji turn over a new leaf!"

Dazai Osamu: If you want to turn back, then turn back. But, Shika-chan, could you please... turn away from that look that's staring at my lower body?

Lin Qiye, who was standing to the side, silently covered his mouth.

No, he's professionally trained; he absolutely cannot laugh!

"How could that be, Deer-chan? That doesn't align with my ideals..."

Dazai Osamu stepped forward and whispered in the girl's ear,

"This filthy world... with Deer-chan here... I'd like to take a few more glances at it..."

Lu Yu: I don't believe you for a second.

Before she could speak, Verlaine pulled her back with one hand, keeping her far away from Dazai Osamu as if avoiding a virus.

Lin Qiye, who was also trying to pull someone over: ? ? ?

Who was that who just flashed by?

Seeing his captain's bewildered expression, Lu Yu realized that he hadn't explained the situation to them at all during this time...

It seems... I haven't even had a chance to tell them that I joined the Port Mafia... or that I gained two older brothers...

Feeling guilty, the girl decided to strike first.

"Seven Nights! Let me introduce you, this is my brother! Verlaine! I also have an older brother named Nakahara Chuuya!"

The girl spread her arms wide, framing Verlaine's gaze.

"Besides, I recently joined my brother's team. Don't worry, the Port Mafia is a legitimate company. I'm just helping our Nightfall team earn some extra money!"

Lin Qiye: "...Hehe."

Do you think I will believe it?

Deer, oh deer!

Nine out of ten things you say are lies!

Seeing that the captain didn't believe him, Lu Yu had no choice but to use his ultimate move—

She blinked, and her previously cheerful expression instantly transformed into teary-eyed, pitiful eyes.

"I've worked so hard these past few days..."

Too much work, no commission...

While others are on vacation, I'm working overtime...

He was devoted to the team, but was doubted by you, Nanaya…

Do you think I don't know what you like to do in your spare time?

You must have gone to someone else's organization to mess with the unlucky guys again!

Just as Lin Qiye was about to retort, he heard the blond man, whom Lu Yu called "brother," look at him with icy eyes:

"What Little Deer said is all true..."

The man looked deeply moved, as if to say, "With a sister like this, what more could I ask for?"

"She's been working overtime these past few days to earn money, and she even went on a business trip to Tokyo to buy me, her brother, a tie..."

How could you, as her friend, doubt such a wonderful younger sister?

"Yeah, yeah... Lu-chan has to deal with such a scumbag leader...tsk tsk...she really has to worry all the time about whether she'll be targeted..."

Dazai Osamu, finding the fire not burning bright enough, poured oil on it from the side.

"My leader... is a perverted lolicon~~ He likes girls like Deer the most... Waaah..."

Lin Qiye:!!!

Good guy!

Lu Yu, you've been disappearing all this time because you were risking your life!

"And there's more, and there's more..."

Seeing that the fire was burning well, Dazai Osamu continued to add fuel and blow air into it.

"I was just thinking of going to find you, Lu-chan, later..."

"What do you want from me?"

Lu Yuzheng was bewildered by what Dazai Osamu said, which didn't seem to have much to say, but when he heard this sentence, he immediately became alert and looked up.

"...Of course, I need you to host a foreign organization in the coming days... I think it's called... Mimic?"

The boy sighed sadly.

"It's said... that the people in that organization are all ruthless war criminals..."

Lin Qiye: ...

"What?! Are they going to bully Little Deer?"

Fatty, who had been pretending to be deaf and dumb, couldn't sit still any longer and jumped up from the spot.

Hearing this powerful and angry voice, the people inside the house were also awakened.

An Qingyu and Cao Yuan peeked out of the house and saw Lu Yu, whom they hadn't seen for several days. They smiled at first, then looked coldly at the other strangers present.

Garan walked out of the house, spear in hand.

Jiang Er stood beside Lu Yu, looking her up and down several times to make sure she wasn't injured before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

Only Shen Qingzhu, holding a beginner's Japanese book, slammed her fist on the table in anger and shouted in broken Japanese, "Unforgivable!!"

Lu Yu paused for a moment, then spoke happily:

"...Hey bro!!! You know new Japanese!!!"

Shen Qingzhu: Thank you for your concern... but please don't worry about me yet...

"...The entire Nightfall Squad!"

Lin Qiye pursed his lips.

"The Port Mafia, or Mimic?"

An Qing, with a forced smile, patted non-existent dust off his hands and walked to Lin Qiye's side:

"Captain... what happened?"

The cold light in the boy's eyes was reflected in their glasses and entered the group's vision.

"Only children make choices; of course we want both..."

"...Hey, hey, hey...Captain, look at me! I'm still with the Port Mafia! There are their officers here..."

Are you guys really the ones who run a bookstore, loudly plotting to seize power?

How can it be even more mafia-like than the mafia itself?

"Besides... Aji was just joking. Although their leader is a bit of a scumbag, it's not like we need to go after them, is it?"

The last time we were this well-coordinated was when we fought the gods, right?

The Port Mafia deserves far more than this!

Dazai Osamu stood aside with an indifferent expression, as if the organization Lin Qiye and the others were talking about wasn't the Port Mafia he belonged to.

Lin Qiye patted Lu Yu's head affectionately:

"Little Deer...sometimes being too naive isn't a good thing..."

Is this just a simple joke?

The moment Dazai Osamu arrived at the bookstore, it was already a declaration of war...

Everything he said was simply to make us realize that the Port Mafia is watching the night.

He wasn't surprised at all when he saw his own book in the bookstore; Mori Ōgai's cunning was far more than just a little bit deep.

An Qingyu had already arranged everything after seeing Mori Ougai off after he bought the books.

This led to Lin Qiye's question to Dazai Osamu, and...

The members of the Nightfall Squad put down their books, each holding their weapon, and stood together.

She said she wanted Lu Yu to receive Mimic, but Lu Yu represented more than just herself; she also had Nightfall behind her, and they wouldn't stand idly by.

So, although he appears to be alone, he is actually there to witness the Nightfall Squad's efforts to resolve the mimic incident.

They wanted to exploit their concerns about Lu Yu to achieve two goals at once...

Lin Qiye sneered, looking at the white-haired girl in front of him. The latter sighed helplessly, twirled her long sword in a flourish, and strode to Lin Qiye's side.

"Okay, okay... I got it, squad leader... I'll follow orders!"

She glanced apologetically at Verlaine and Dazai Osamu behind her, who hadn't stopped her.

Sorry, I'm off to raid your hideout!

Since they are wary and suspicious of the Nightfall Squad, they shouldn't blame them for abandoning their literary pursuits for martial arts!

The boy walked at the front, pushed open the bookstore door, and spoke in a clear, crisp voice:

"Everyone draw your swords!"
