"No task today?"

For Takigawa Yuichi, the happiest thing is vacation.

Although the system in his mind had been crying out in pain since he killed Kunihiko Kitahara, "It's time to do a good job, the host!", but Yuichi Takigawa still didn't want to move.

"Well, I just need to deal with the reports handed in recently." Yuichi Takigawa replied, he put the signed documents aside, and in a good mood threw the apple on the corner of the table, "Nothing this morning. Do you know who put a basket at the door, want to eat?"

Zhongyuan Zhongye: "..."

Zhongyuan Zhongya: "Have you ever been conscious of being poisoned just now?"

Yuichi Takigawa was taken aback by this gnashing of teeth, he said "Huh?" and subconsciously looked at a basket of red fruits in the corner.

"It's too exaggerated, it should be just a simple gift." Takikawa Yu waved his hand and smiled indifferently, "I'm not Snow White, who would put poison in an apple."

However, Zhongyuanzhong also provided him with new ideas, and he would go to Dazai Zhifan to try it another day.

He will always succeed.

Zhongyuan Zhongya's expression was very complicated. On the one hand, he knew that Takigawa would not listen to him, but on the other hand, he was not very relieved.

"I will ask Guangjin and the others to check." Zhongyuan Zhong also pinched the root of his nose and sighed as if giving up.

"Guangjin?" Yuichi Takigawa caught the key words, "Then do you want to take more and share it with them?"

Zhongyuan Zhongya: "...Didn't you just say it was a gift?"

"But if you don't eat it, it will rot." Yuichi Takigawa said.

He held his chin, his lavender eyes flashed with a smile, and he directly met the other's gaze.

"But if it is sent by Zhongyuan-jun, I will definitely keep it well."

After all, the Central Plains has always been generous, and the red wine that was photographed last time is worth a suite.

Thinking of this, Takigawa Yu was a little less afraid of Zhongyuan Zhongya.

The corners of the boy's lips were bent, and his eyes, which were blocked by his forehead hair, were shining with unreserved hope and joy.

Zhongyuan Zhong was also taken aback by his gaze, turned his face away rather uncomfortably, and muttered "I know" in a low voice.

Takigawa...what would you like?

Takigawa Yuichi's preferences are hard to guess.

Zhongyuan Zhong also thinks this is because of his good temper.

Since joining the Port Mafia, Yuichi Takigawa has never seemed to show similar distaste for a single definite thing.

"Really, I want to give it to Yuichi-" Ozaki Hongye, who heard about this, stared at Nakahara Chuya's face, her red lips parted slightly, and she deliberately lengthened her tone, "I feel that as long as it is Chuya The kid will love it."

"...Sister Hongye!"

"Well, after all, the relationship is so good." Ozaki Hongye smiled and reassured, "How about sending something memorable? It's like the bullet that Yuichi sent you before."

When Zhongyuan Zhongya joined the port mafia, Yuichi Takigawa had just been promoted to a junior cadre.

The boy has been very responsible since then. In order to make Nakahara Nakaya adapt to the work of the Mafia as soon as possible, when Ozaki Momiji was on a business trip, Takigawa Yuichi actively applied for permission to Mori Owai, and took Nakahara Nakaya with him almost every day. by your side.

But that's not so much teaching, maybe "protection" is more appropriate.

Nakahara also felt that in Takigawa Yu's eyes, he seemed to be an unarmed little sheep, so that Takigawa would not let him do anything, and even came nervously after the exchange of fire with the enemy to confirm whether he was there or not. Injuried.

This situation improved slightly after Ozaki Hongye returned from a business trip, but every time Zhongyuan Zhong also turned his head, he could see the sneaky figure hiding behind the container.

【“Isn’t that Takigawa cadre?”】

[“What kind of mission should it be performing?”]

["That's what I said... but it's too obvious to hide."]

【"Shut up! Look forward! Officer Takigawa will be sad if he is discovered!"]

At that time, Zhongyuan Zhong also silently listened to the whispers of his subordinates behind him, and for some reason he chose to pretend to be invisible.

Later, he had grown to the point where he didn't need anyone's guidance.

Zhongyuan Zhong also listened to everyone's congratulations, and subconsciously looked for the familiar figure in the empty venue.

Takigawa Yuichi was standing by the champagne tower. He didn't seem to expect that Zhongyuan Zhong would also notice him, so he was a little stunned when he noticed the other party's gaze.

But after that, the boy quickly showed a sincere smile.

Zhongyuan Zhong also looked at Takigawa Yuichi standing under the warm yellow light source and stretched out his hand to himself.

["Sister Hongye told me about your promotion, it's amazing, even I'm jealous."]

Takigawa Yuichi can always use a joking tone to mobilize the atmosphere.

In his palm is a 9x19mm copper bullet.

The reason why Zhongyuan Zhong also remembers it so clearly is because this bullet is just right for the one he used on his first mission.

Zhongyuan Zhong also raised his head blankly.

["Congratulations, Zhongyuan Jun."]

Yuichi Takigawa said in a slow tone. His snow-colored eyelashes trembled, and the corners of his lips, which were originally cold and alienated, rose, and he outlined softness and warmth with just a few strokes.

This is more impressed by the Central Plains than those gems and jewelry.

"Ah, I see."

The memory came to an abrupt end here, and Nakahara also accepted Ozaki Momiji's opinion, and it was clear in the lowered voice.

"……give me?"

"Um."

"No, I mean why did you suddenly think of giving me this." Yuichi Takigawa looked at the gun in the box silently, and asked Nakahara Chuya uncertainly.

Are you going to declare war with him? ——That's not right, he has been fighting wits and courage with Dazai recently, and he hasn't had time to attack the Central Plains.

"It's the last gift in return."

Takigawa Yuichi didn't understand.

The reminder of [Central Plains Zhongya's favorability +1] had been in his mind for an afternoon, and Takigawa Yuichi couldn't sleep at all, he could only lie on the sofa with a blanket and stare at the ceiling in a daze.

... Obviously he didn't do anything, could it be that in just one afternoon, the Central Plains was assimilated by Dazai?

Takigawa Yuichi took a deep breath.

"Thank you, I like it very much."

[Central Plains Central also favorability +1]

Appeared!Familiar horror movie!

Takigawa Yuichi's expression was stiff, and he was still waving mechanically until Nakahara walked to the door.

The sound of the door lock falling was unusually clear, and Yuichi Takigawa slowly lowered his head in the dead silence, staring at the silver cockroach silently for a long time.

...It can't be a death notice, can it?

The teenager frowned and tapped the metal casing with a pen vigilantly.

No mechanism, it seems to be ok.

Takigawa Yuichi finally breathed a sigh of relief. He closed the expensive-looking box and put it in the explosion-proof safe.

Zhongyuan Zhong also said just now that this is a return gift, but he obviously only gave it just now...

Oops.

"System." Takikawa Yu paused for a while, and suddenly asked heavily, "You said, is it still time for me to return all the apples I sent out?"
