I was the fourth disaster in Yokohama and was loved by everyone.

“Oda Sakunosuke…do you know what you look like right now?” Dazai suddenly lowered his head, his forehead against the bar, and began to chuckle, his shoulders shaking like a leaf.

After laughing enough, he slowly straightened up, took a deep breath, and let out an unkind laugh.

"Like the top host at the most expensive host club in Ginza!"

Ango Sakaguchi adjusted his glasses, silently agreeing in his heart.

Chapter 194 Progress Increase

With Oda Sakunosuke taking up his post, Zhu Yu immediately felt much more relaxed.

He handled all the paperwork, and she only needed to submit the results to Mori Ougai on time, which was very convenient.

At first, Oda Sakunosuke was a bit clumsy in handling documents, but after he became more proficient, he not only processed documents quickly, but also wrote reports very well.

Mori Ougai was surprised when he reviewed the report submitted by Zhu Yu. Compared with Zhu Yu's "extremely concise and abbreviated" report, Oda Sakunosuke's report was very detailed, concise and to the point, and could be called the standard report model.

Mori Ougai lightly tapped the table with his fingertips.

"That's quite surprising. Was this report written by your new secretary?"

"Yes."

Zhu Yu and Alice leaned against each other on the sofa, eating cookies. The crunching sound was particularly jarring in the empty and quiet office.

Mori Ōgai was already quite used to Zhu Yu running off to do something else halfway through his sentences. As for maintaining the leader's authority? Putting on a cold face to release pressure in front of her had no effect whatsoever.

She could only stare blankly at him.

(Player: Why isn't the NPC talking? Is it lagging?)

Skillfully ignoring the discordant voice, he gently closed the report.

“Oda Sakunosuke…” Mori Ogai remembered her new secretary.

Normally, a low-level member wouldn't attract the leader's attention, but unfortunately... Dazai getting close to an ordinary member is quite conspicuous, so Mori Ougai would naturally be curious and check Oda Sakunosuke's information to see what's so special about this low-level member.

After watching the whole thing, I realized that Oda Sakunosuke was once one of the top assassins in the underworld. After retiring from the underworld, he disappeared without a trace. Unexpectedly, he later joined the Port Mafia as a low-level member without saying a word.

With rare supernatural abilities and extraordinary skills, he possesses a fighting prowess rarely seen even in the Port Mafia, making him perfectly suited for assassination missions...

He looked up at Zhu Yu, his expression unreadable, and seemed to sigh, "It's a bit of a waste to have a powerful superpowered person do paperwork like writing reports."

Zhu Yu assumed the NPC was playing out the storyline, so she ignored them and focused on chewing.

Left out in the cold: "...Don't you have anything to say?"

"Hmm... He's very capable?" Zhu Yu said after a moment of contemplation. "He's practically a born secretary."

Yes, she's the player's chosen secretary, awesome!

“…Never mind.” Mori Ougai’s expression stiffened. He chose to change the subject, assigned Zhu Yu another task, and then let her leave.

Zhu Yu left the leader's office and immediately began his mission.

For some reason, Zhu Yu noticed that one day her subordinates suddenly became unusually well-groomed, all of them changing into more refined skins.

And... that outfit and hairstyle... they seem kind of familiar, don't they?

She belonged to the violent faction of the Port Mafia, and her subordinates were naturally all on the front lines of battle year-round. They were muscular and strong, and at this moment, they were all wearing fitted black suits, with the top two buttons of their ties undone, revealing their collarbones, and with their hair slicked back, looking incredibly flamboyant.

He doesn't look like a member of the mafia; he looks more like a male model.

It wasn't until her subordinates appeared alongside Oda Sakunosuke, whom she had styled, that she realized—they had all adopted Oda Sakunosuke's style.

She couldn't understand why her subordinate NPCs had all become so handsome. With sunglasses on, they exuded an aura of authority.

But... it's really impressive to take him out to fight!

Zhu Yu was in high spirits and immediately led a small team to go outside and fight red-named players, making sure that every red-named player saw how handsome the player's subordinates looked!

Rumors travel faster than bullets. After several such major moves, almost the entire underworld of Yokohama knew that the Port Mafia's "Disaster" had a daringly styled direct squad, always impeccably dressed in suits and sunglasses, and even when beating someone up, they wouldn't forget to check if their hair was messed up.

The rival organization, deeply resentful after being brutally beaten, jokingly referred to them as the "Cowboy Gang".

As the number of victimized organizations increased, the nickname became more and more widely known.

During one of the shootouts, one of the more daring individuals even shouted while fleeing for his life, "The 'gigolo troupe' is coming! Be on alert!"

The subordinates: "..."

Zhu Yu (running in front): What "cowboy troupe"? Never mind, let's beat up the red-named players first.

His fame was so great that Mori Ōgai had also heard of him.

"...[Socks], huh?" The ruthless leader's smile was somewhat forced. "There are rumors circulating that the Port Mafia has lost all conscience and is even sending members to work at host clubs to supplement the organization's funds. Do you have any leads on that?"

As the saying goes, rumors can easily become distorted over time. The current version is almost updated to: the leader of the Port Mafia defied public opinion and took the lead in going into the underworld to expand new businesses for the Port Mafia.

Zhu Yu's expression hardened: "Chief, I understand."

"What do you know?" Mori Ougai had a bad feeling.

"You mean you want me to deal with those who spread rumors?" Zhu Yu said emphatically. "That's outrageous! We're an honest Mafia member. Those people should be arrested and made to work at male escort clubs."

You can also make a small profit.

The player believed he had come up with a brilliant idea.

"...Never mind, go have some fun."

After listening, Mori Ōgai handed her a crayon and told her to go draw with Alice and Yumeno Kyusaku.

Zhu Yu: ?

What a fickle NPC.

Oda Sakunosuke seamlessly integrated into his life as a secretary.

Lower-level staff have a heavy and tedious workload and need to be on call 24 hours a day. Compared to secretaries, who have no tasks after their bosses leave work, the latter are obviously more relaxed.

Moreover, their salaries and benefits have increased several times over.

Looking at his suddenly abundant savings, Oda Sakunosuke belatedly realized: Ah... this decision seems pretty good?

The only slight inconvenience is that I have to take care of myself before going to work every day as required by my boss.

Before he could even enjoy the money, he took out a portion of it, intending to donate it to a welfare home as was his custom.

I wonder how the children in the orphanage are doing now...

With that in mind, he knocked on Zhu Yu's office door with practiced ease, inviting her to visit the children at the welfare home after get off work.

During the Dragon Head War, Zhu Yu often encountered Oda Sakunosuke while running around the map. When he met him, a small NPC with minor injuries would often spawn next to him, and a large NPC that was about to die would appear next to him.

If you're lucky, you can retrieve them all; if you're unlucky, only the minor NPCs will remain in the family.

Oda Sakunosuke held the little NPC in silence for a long time, then said he planned to adopt the child.

Zhu Yu didn't react.

Meanwhile, another unfamiliar NPC she had rescued observed for a while before suddenly speaking.

"Is this gentleman a member of the Mafia?"

The rescued staff member from the welfare home kindly suggested, "If you're in the Mafia, you risk being targeted by enemies. You could consider letting your child stay at our welfare home; it's relatively remote and very safe."

She was accidentally injured when she was hit by a stray bullet while shopping.

The welfare home where she worked was poorly managed and located far from the city center. There was usually no one around at the gate, making it very safe during the fighting.

She made this suggestion because she had seen too many examples of mafia members being killed after their enemies found their family information.

As a typical Yokohama resident, she offered what she considered to be the best course of action from the perspectives of both the child and the kind-hearted mafia man.

Raising an orphan is a challenge for both sides in the Mafia.

Not to mention... she glanced cautiously at Oda Sakunosuke's attire, thinking: This mafia gentleman seems to be struggling financially.

Oda Sakunosuke frowned slightly, pursed his lips, and thought for a long time. He also felt that he had actually thought too simply.

He's a member of the mafia now, and if his child is accidentally exposed, he'll be in danger. He can't think of anyone who can help look after the child right now...

"Well, please."

He nodded heavily.

After Zhu Yu finished examining the corpse, he saw the two were about to leave and silently followed them.

Chapter 195 100%

The director of the orphanage was a stern-looking man. After hearing Oda Sakunosuke's purpose, he hesitated for a moment but still agreed to take in the child.

The orphanage wasn't in great shape, but they could manage to raise another child if they gritted their teeth. The director took the child and went to arrange accommodation.

The task of introducing the two to the welfare home was left to the staff member who brought them there.

The staff gave the two a general tour of the orphanage, introducing its infrastructure and staff composition.

As they passed by the courtyard, the children playing inside stopped what they were doing and began to observe the newcomers, their curious gazes falling primarily on Zhu Yu and Oda Sakunosuke, the two strangers.

The children secretly hoped that the two men were there to adopt them.

Zhu Yu's gaze swept over the many minor NPCs, and suddenly his attention was drawn to a minor NPC who was quietly huddled in the corner.

It was a boy with short, silvery-white hair who looked to be around ten years old. His thin body was curled up in a ball, clutching a tattered picture book tightly in his arms. Unlike the noisy other children, he was so quiet that he was almost invisible; only when he turned the pages could one hear the slight rustling of the paper.

The boy's bangs were so long they almost covered his eyes, but the slight tilt of his head to look up revealed his inner longing.

Zhu Yu compared his level with the other minor NPCs and figured it out—this minor NPC must be a superhuman.

Their levels are all higher than those of ordinary adult NPCs.

Zhu Yu stepped forward to strike up a conversation.

"Hey hey hey—" The boy seemed surprised that Zhu Yu would come through the crowd and talk to him, and shrank back like a startled little animal.

“I, I…” His voice was barely audible. “My name is… I am Nakajima Atsushi. It’s nice to meet you.”

And then? Nothing more?

Zhu Yu transforms the little NPCs into flowers.

The little NPC's brain malfunctions, but he subconsciously accepts it.

Zhu Yu poked the little NPC and found that the other party was just looking at her in shock and blushing. She realized that it seemed that the quest could not be triggered.

Ok.

She withdrew her hand with a slight sense of disappointment, then turned and left.

The dean suddenly appeared in the courtyard, his face cold and stern: "Dun! Have you forgotten what I said?"

The harsh rebuke immediately turned Nakajima Atsushi's face pale.

No outsiders allowed!

Playing with children is not allowed!

Not allowed...

"Go back to the solitary confinement cell right now!"

The dean's cold, ruthless command struck Nakajima Atsushi's nerves like a heavy hammer.

Atsushi Nakajima trembled violently, and the world before his eyes seemed to suddenly distort—

He returned to the darkness and curled up alone in a corner.

Laughter from other children could be heard coming from outside the wall.

So cold, so hungry...
