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

The surgeon seemed thoughtful, then walked to Chuuya's side, placed his hands on his shoulders, and earnestly considered a possibility: "Chuuya... if it were your request, would Ms. Kawakami be willing to become a doctor?"

Making socks the doctor?!

Chuuya blinked rapidly a few times, as if to confirm whether he was hallucinating. Otherwise, how could the surgeon want to become a doctor as soon as he came out after the examination?

He silently turned his gaze to Zhu Yu—"Explain yourself."

Zhu Yu looked back innocently.

After undergoing a more detailed examination in the room, her report showed that she was in good health, and the surgeon asked her if she had done anything unusual.

She said, "It might be too nourishing."

They even kindly gave him a small tangerine that's good for replenishing blood.

The surgeon himself was very skilled with poisons, and even if the thing she handed him was poisoned, he was confident he could cure it, so he naturally took the little orange.

With one bite, he felt a comforting warmth—the feeling one gets when being treated by a healing-type ability user.

So this little orange is a product of superpowers?

He stared at the half-eaten orange in his hand, lost in thought.

He recognized her the moment Chuuya Nakahara led the group in—Kawakami Socks, a plant-type ability user with a small reputation within the Port Mafia. She had attracted a lot of attention because of her partnership with Chuuya Nakahara and Osamu Dazai, which had repeatedly performed great feats within the Port Mafia.

I heard that she and Chuuya Nakahara have a close relationship; they were comrades who knew each other before joining the Port Mafia.

The Flag Association was initially formed at the suggestion of Boss Mori, and its founder, "The Pianist," invited the member to join in order to monitor whether she was investigating his background. However, Boss Mori did not mention monitoring Ms. Kawakami as well.

Therefore, although the Flag Association had also tried to learn about her, they were still considering it and had not yet decided whether to send someone to contact her and bring her into the Flag Association.

With two of Chief Mori's key subordinates now in the Flag Association, Chief Mori's attention will likely focus more on the Flag Association as well.

Considering various factors, no one in the flag association took the initiative to meet with her.

To be honest, apart from Chuuya, this was the first time that any member of the Flag Association had ever met Ms. Kawakami, who lived in countless Port Mafia rumors.

As expected... it's as amazing as the rumors say!

The surgeon's gaze fell indifferently on the superpowered artifact in his hand, which would definitely fetch a high price on the black market, but was now just ordinaryly held in his hand.

"Is this your special ability?" He waved the orange in his hand at Zhu Yu.

After switching to the [Port Mafia] faction, people in the same faction naturally have a 20% favorability towards her, and she appears as a sea of ​​green with "friendly" attributes.

She has always been friendly to green-named individuals, and after thinking about it, she decided to patiently answer.

Chapter 62 Who still treats you like a child?

However, Chuuya had told her before that if anyone asked her where these strange things came from, she should say that they were the product of her own superpower.

So, when faced with the surgeon's question, she vaguely replied, "More or less."

She's too lazy to explain herself anyway, she'll just give a perfunctory answer...

So, can I leave now that the check-up is complete?

Players still have the vast universe to conquer!

Zhu Yu sat on a high chair, swinging her legs idly.

"Ms. Kawakami's special ability is very suitable for treatment..." The surgeon put away the orange, and when he said the word "treatment," he suddenly slowed down his speech, his voice lowering three points, like the overtones of an ancient zither, resonating in the air, "Would you consider working in our medical team?"

The surgeon's invitation was genuine, after all, doctors always held a special status in the Hong Kong underworld, especially those with exceptionally high professional competence.

Of course, this is also inseparable from the fact that the current leader, Mori Ōgai, was once a doctor.

In short, in his view, staying in the medical team was definitely a good choice, even if it was a bit busy, at least it wouldn't have the same high risk of casualties as the militant faction.

Unfortunately, to his disappointment, Zhu Yu refused him without hesitation.

"No, thank you."

The surgeon, somewhat curious, pressed further, "Why?"

Zhu Yu didn't look at him, and answered without raising her head, "Not interested."

Staying in the medical team means missing out on countless opportunities to gain experience, right?

Although it might unlock a new profession, "Doctor," she knew which to choose when faced with the choice between a new profession and a steady stream of experience points.

Even if she's going to switch to a support/support role, that should wait until she reaches max level and experiences different classes...

Therefore, she refused without hesitation.

Please don't stop players from getting stronger! This is outrageous!

I thought the NPC in front of me might ramble on for a bit more, but to my surprise, he was rubbing his chin and lost in thought.

His gaze slowly descended, as if drawn by some invisible weight, fixing on her expressionless face. He murmured to himself, "God bestows different gifts and paths upon each person; you have simply embarked on another possibility..."

After saying that, he fell silent, and after a long while, he asked again, unwilling to give up, "Are you really not going to consider it?"

Zhu Yu: ...What a stubborn NPC.

"No...not for now." Facing the burning gaze of the person in front of her, Zhu Yu changed her mind with difficulty.

Um... why does this NPC have such creepy eyes?

It gave her a strange feeling that she was being watched by a hungry wolf with green eyes.

Upon hearing her words, the surgeon took a half-step forward with some excitement, then stopped and said quietly, "I eagerly await the day when you, Ms. Kawakami, change your mind."

If it were her, she would surely be able to quickly achieve a goal that she could not achieve in a short time—God killed two million people in the Holy Book, so he would save an equal number of lives.

Superpowers with healing abilities are extremely rare, and her ability to generate healing products is definitely a hidden gem.

Although it's unclear whether her superpowered abilities have any negative effects, and the specific healing effects still need to be tested, he's confident that she'll be a very promising healing-type superpower user.

If she joined the Port Mafia's medical department, she would definitely be able to save it from the hell of overtime!

At this moment, in his eyes, every strand of Zhu Yu's hair seemed to be bathed in the radiance of a chosen one.

Unfortunately, the other party had no such intention.

The surgeon was very disappointed; the eyelashes cast a light gray shadow on the eyelids, which blended perfectly with the two bluish-black shadows left under the eyes due to the intense surgery.

The test results were in, and he organized the report, planning to give it to Chuuya later, and destroyed the test records as well.

Well, after all, he had received the hint that Chuuya had given him when he first entered—this was a private test, and the results should be kept confidential.

After all, in public settings within the Port Mafia, Chuuya always treated members of the Flag Association with a strictly businesslike attitude...

Bringing people here privately like this, and deliberately acting so intimately towards me, the meaning couldn't be clearer.

After his thoughts had wandered around for a while, the surgeon stood up and said, "You can leave now."

Then, Zhu Yu jumped off the chair and stormed out of the door like a wild horse.

Surgeon: ...This one is of pretty good quality.

*

After listening to Zhu Yu's account of their conversation, Chuuya: ......

What can I say? It's unexpected, but not unexpected either.

It's completely desensitized.

Chuuya Nakahara rubbed his temples, looking somewhat troubled, and advised the surgeon to abandon the idea of ​​having Zhu Yu become a doctor: "She probably won't go..."

After all, no doctor can run faster than anyone else when they go to the battlefield.

To avoid a scenario where she runs ahead while the wounded chase after her.

It would be better to let her continue to shine in the martial arts faction.

Zhu Yu nodded frantically.

Forget it, players won't abandon martial arts for medicine.

The surgeon shrugged, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, and handed the report to Chuuya, telling him to take it back and read it at his own pace.

"The traces have been cleaned up."

Chuuya paused for a moment after taking the report: "Thank you."

The surgeon waved his hand without saying a word, walked to his original desk, sat down, and began to handle his own affairs.

Seeing this, the three of them left the medical room together.

"Wow, thank goodness you didn't want to become a doctor in the Port Mafia's medical department. Otherwise, the thought of having already stepped into the Sanzu River only to be saved by you would have been terrifying~" Dazai was very quiet while listening to Chuuya talking to the surgeon in the medical room, but as soon as he came out, he grabbed Zhu Yu and kept talking.

Zhu Yu's tools can be used on Dazai Osamu, but it's unclear whether it's due to the influence of his supernatural ability "No Longer Human," a kind of erasing ability, that the tools are less effective when used on him.

For example, a certain item can increase her HP by 100 when she uses it, but it can only increase her HP by 50 to 80 when used by Dazai.

Quality is not enough, quantity is needed.

Therefore, if Dazai Osamu is accidentally injured during a mission, Zhu Yu will forcefully feed him items.

Poor squishy support, once you leave the players, who'll treat you like a child anymore?

Dazai, who was forced to eat so many props that his face became a bit rounder for a while: ......

So Dazai behaved himself and stopped deliberately rushing into enemy traps when going on missions with Zhu Yu, lest he get fed a mouthful of items again.

Upon hearing Dazai begin reciting his "River of Three Crossings" rhetoric again, Zhu Yu was already able to respond quite fluently.

"It's alright, Dazai. Actually, even if I weren't in the medical ward, I wouldn't let you die."

Chapter 63 Be Vigilant Against Being Poached

In her opinion, Dazai is sometimes like a black cat that keeps meowing to attract its owner's attention. As a cat owner (although she only owns a cyber cat named "Mimi"), Zhu Yu is quite tolerant of this kind of cat.

“…Eh?” Dazai, who had been walking briskly, suddenly stopped, then quickly pretended to be nonchalant and complained, “How awful. It makes it impossible for me to embrace death. It’s terrifying.”

"But since you've put it that way, I'll look forward to it." I'll look forward to seeing just how far you can go...

Please don't let me down.

For some reason, Zhu Yu had a bad feeling: ...Is there...is there danger?

*

After entering the holographic version, Zhu Yu can be said to have invested even more enthusiasm in the game, exploring the entire Yokohama with great energy every day.

I didn't really appreciate it when I first tried the app version, but it wasn't until I entered the holographic version that I realized how truly breathtaking Yokohama's scenery is!

Ah, the smell of the sea breeze~

Ah, this cute trash can... ugh—it stinks!

Zhu Yu silently shut down her sense of smell, otherwise her grand plan of rummaging through the trash cans would be ruined by this damn stench...

In her daily life, she would adjust her pain sensitivity to 10%. After all, because she had no pain sensitivity, there were a few times when she cut herself with the knife in her hand without feeling anything. If she hadn't been quick to notice that her health bar was suddenly dropping and she hadn't managed to replenish her health before it reached zero, she would have been fine.

I'm afraid she'll unintentionally kill herself several times over.

Players don't want such a pathetic way to die!

Indeed, there needs to be a certain amount of pain...

Her frequent trips outside during work hours caught Mori Ōgai's attention.

Mori Ōgai always liked to suddenly ask her a few questions when she was playing with Alice.

"Why hasn't [Socks] been around the Port Mafia building much lately? Has she made some new friends outside?"

Zhu Yu recalled her experiences over the past few days and realized that she hadn't met any new NPCs, so she replied, "I haven't made any new friends."

Mori Ougai rested his chin on his hand, seemingly asking casually, "I see. I thought [Socks] didn't like the Port Mafia anymore and only wanted to hang out with that little detective from the Detective Club..."

Mori Ōgai wouldn't allow himself to be in a passive position. Now that he knew her public identity, he would naturally gather all the information about the identity of "Umekawa Kuko".

Otherwise, if one day his diamond suddenly grows legs and runs away, he'll have nowhere to cry.

Regarding Umekawa Kuko's interpersonal relationships, it is clearly shown that she has a close relationship with Edogawa Ranpo, a member of the Armed Detective Agency.

Ah, Mr. Fukuzawa is already incredibly lucky to have unearthed such a gem as Edogawa, and even managed to bring Akiko into the detective agency. In that case, we can't just steal the diamond we've already got...
