Chapter 5: Chapter 6
Chapter 6: First Day as a Mafia
Thinking back to the conversation he had just had with Tokisaki Kurumi, Ogai Mori was very aware of that very important sentence.
[For me, it's more important to find a stable job in the long run.]
A job.
What Tokisaki Kurumi needed was a job.
A job that allows this visitor from a foreign land to stand his ground.
And what organization in Yokohama has deeper roots than the Port Mafia?
"Miss Tokisaki, I have a suggestion."
Having found a viable solution, a sweet smile appeared on Ogai Mori face as he proposed to the young girl in front of him, "The doors of the Port Mafia can be opened for you, and as long as you are willing, I will be able to arrange a suitable position for you within the organization."
This was the best solution in the current situation.
As long as he could be under his wing, not only did Ogai Mori not have to worry about him spreading the secrets of the organization to the ears of others, but he could also benefit from a powerful and mysterious alien.
Two birds with one stone.
"Oh? Is this Mr. Mori the one who recruited me?"
Hearing this, Tokisaki Kurumi laughed softly.
As expected, Ogai Mori had taken the bait.
Wrapping up one's purpose in seemingly meaningless dialog, deliberately letting others know about it while still giving the other party the illusion that they were the ones who knew about it.
However, it was thanks to the fact that Ogai Mori was indeed a quick-thinking character who was able to distill important information in just a few sentences, if he was an incompetent leader, I'm afraid Tokisaki Kurumi would have to go home tonight with a defeat.
Now, that goal was achieved.
While Tokisaki Kurumi had not even expressed the slightest intention of joining the Port Mafia, Ogai Mori had taken the initiative to extend an invitation.
It was just that, although his plan had succeeded, he could not directly accept the invitation now.
If she accepted it too quickly, such an enthusiastic attitude would definitely arouse suspicion, and if Ogai Mori felt anything, with his city and mind, it would be easy for him to suspect that the true purpose of that woman was to join the Port Mafia.
Reserve, above all else.
"Is there really no problem with letting an unknown stranger like me join the Port Mafia?" Tokisaki Kurumi asked seriously.
"At least for now, it seems that not only is there no problem, it's even full of advantages."
"I can't promise I'll be a loyal woman, oh."
"This is the Mafia, not the Yakuza, loyalty, determination, righteousness, all of that means nothing to the organization." Ogai Mori said calmly, "The only thing to care about here is value, and as long as the value you bring to the table is great enough, even if it is a man-eating demon, we will not hesitate to open our arms."
"As expected of a Mafia Boss who has consolidated the power of the entire Yokohama, this kind of temperament is truly rare."
Tokisaki Kurumi stopped his voice and said with deep meaning, "However, I am very expensive, I wonder if Mori-san can afford this price?"
"Of course you can, rather the more expensive the price, the better, preferably so expensive that other organizations can't afford it." Mori said in a high tone, "That's the only way this organization can keep you, right? Those who join the Port Mafia don't do so out of loyalty, but because only by joining the Port Mafia can they get a chance to satisfy their desires."
After speaking, Ogai Mori looked deeply at Tokisaki Kurumi and said in a certain tone,
"Moreover, I dare to state that you are someone from this side."
"And where does this confidence come from?"
"Because the Port Mafia is the largest gangster organization in Yokohama, no, in Japan, and quite frankly, I see criminals or people preparing for crimes every day." Ogai Mori replied, "That's why when I first saw you, I knew that you wouldn't be the type of justice that stands in the light, only darkness would be your place."
Tokisaki Kurumi smiled, not commenting.
He was indeed right.
This was the essence of Tokisaki Kurumi.
Should I say that he truly deserved to be called the Port Mafia Boss? It was surprising to see such an accurate person.
Because of this too, in Tokisaki Kurumi heart, his wariness of this man once again increased.
Although he had managed to bring Ogai Mori into the pit earlier through his words, that did not mean Ogai Mori was stupid.
Quite the contrary, he was an intelligent person.
Otherwise, how could he have reached the position of harbor mafia leader just as a personal physician?
The reason he was able to deceive Ogai Mori just now was simply because he was a traveler with the advantage of intelligence, not because he had many advantages in the battle of wits.
He knew almost everything about Ogai Mori, but Ogai Mori knew nothing about him.
Because of the gap in intelligence, Ogai Mori made a bad move and fell into Tokisaki Kurumi path, falling into her trap.
But it was because Tokisaki Kurumiknew him so well that he was very wary of him.
And in the future, she would become a member of the Port Mafia, working for Ogai Mori.
It was quite thrilling to have a boss like that over his head.
Sighing inwardly, Tokisaki Kurumi remained unchanged on the surface.
"So, Tokisaki-sama, what's your answer?" Ogai Mori spoke again, bringing the thinking Tokisaki Kurumi back to his senses.
"Since Mori-san is so sincere, what reason do I have to refuse?"
Tokisaki Kurumi lifted the skirt of her long dress and slightly bent her body, "Mori-san, I'm happy to be of service to you."
"Well, this is the right outcome for you and me."
After receiving a positive answer, Ogai Mori expression relaxed slightly, "From today onwards, you are a member of the Port Mafia, your position in the organization is second only to the top five cadres, and you will operate as my direct subordinate [Guerrilla Leader], with the power to mobilize members of the Martial Arts Team without consent, the power to mobilize a special team within the Martial Arts Team, the Black Lizard [Black Lizard]. Power to mobilize Intelligence Team members to investigate information, power to mobilize Assassination Team members to carry out assassination activities, and power to mobilize the Funding Team to complete the commission."
"Thank you for your generosity.
"It's just that before officially becoming a member of the organization, as an assessment of your abilities, I want you to complete a mission."
Ogai Mori took out a photo of a long-abandoned factory from the folder, "Go and investigate what the people in this factory are doing and which organization they belong to, this mission has a certain degree of danger, two people sent by the organization before and after have gone missing, so please be careful."
"I understand." Tokisaki Kurumi said without a trace of fear, "Then without delay, I will try to complete the mission before Mori-san goes to bed."
"Having confidence is not a bad thing, the secretary will take you to the underground parking lot where the driver will take you to the mission site."
Ogai Mori pressed the button on his desk again and the door was opened by a mobster dressed as a deacon.
The deacon bowed respectfully and made a gesture of invitation to Tokisaki Kurumi.
"Miss Tokisaki, this is your first mission, so please don't let me down."
