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

His cloak was being torn apart by the fierce wind blowing from the rooftop, fluttering loudly and almost sweeping him into the night.

He was like a statue rooted to the roof, his gaze fixed on the scene below, taking in everything that had just happened.

"..." He narrowed his eyes slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips. "This is quite something."

A top-tier sorcerer?

The unfamiliar word rolled across his tongue, and Fyodor's gaze shifted from the unconscious Shirazawa to Zhu Yu.

"That's really intriguing."

Fyodor chuckled softly, flicked the listening device lightly, and the shattered parts fell through his fingers.

He was in no hurry to act, but quietly watched the figure below, his purplish-red eyes unfathomable.

This world is indeed full of interesting "surprises".

Upon seeing the companion of the person he was observing arrive, he turned around like a ghost and disappeared into the shadow of the building in the blink of an eye, as if no one had ever stood there.

The moment Tatsuhiko Shibusawa was defeated, the mission rewards and ending CG simultaneously appeared.

Mori Ougai also planned to exchange Shibusawa Tatsuhiko and the Special Abilities Division for some benefits, so he had the three of them take Shibusawa Tatsuhiko back to the Port Mafia.

Zhu Yu used the "Carry" button as usual, but Shibusawa Tatsuhiko was too big for her, and half of his body was repeatedly rubbing against the ground, causing his health bar to drop from time to time.

Chuuya hesitated, then asked, "Won't it die before we get back?"

Makes sense.

After observing the opponent's precarious health bar, Zhu Yu recalled the scene of running through the map with Dazai last time, and immediately changed to a safer posture - Shibusawa Tatsuhiko's legs naturally dangled a little in her arms, his toes almost touching the ground, and his long white hair fell down, covering most of his face.

It looks like a large doll being haphazardly hugged by a child.

Zhu Yu gently lifted Shibusawa Tatsuhiko in her arms. His cheeks were pressed against her shoulder from the jostling, his eyelashes casting faint shadows under his eyes, and his pale lips were slightly pursed, making him appear somewhat vulnerable.

The player silently admired the NPC's superb modeling.

"Cough!" A deliberate cough came from behind.

Zhu Yu snapped back to her senses and turned her head to see Chuuya and Dazai staring at her intently, their eyes darting back and forth between her and Shibusawa Tatsuhiko in their arms.

"Are you mesmerized by your beautiful wife?" Dazai drawled out the words, his tone subtle.

Zhu Yu immediately defended herself: "No, I was just admiring it."

Haha, gamers won't get hooked. Yeah, right!

Chuuya's gaze lingered on her self-righteous eyes for two seconds before he suddenly strode over and reached out to take the unconscious Shibusawa Tatsuhiko from his arms: "Let me do it."

Before Zhu Yu could react, he had already grabbed Shibusawa Tatsuhiko by the collar and dragged him out.

A grown man can be easily moved using gravity.

Seeing that he could handle it, Zhu Yu nodded and got into the car that the Hong Kong triad had sent to pick them up.

Other members of the Port Mafia were responsible for sorting out Tatsuhiko Shibusawa's belongings.

All the three of them need to do is bring Shibusawa Tatsuhiko back.

With Shibusawa Tatsuhiko in hand, Mori Ougai was quite satisfied to have gained many benefits from the Special Abilities Division.

He originally wanted to exchange Shibusawa Tatsuhiko for a "Special Ability Business License," but the Special Ability Division refused to budge on the offer. Mori Ougai had no choice but to settle for a number of privileges from the Special Ability Division.

Afterwards, Tatsuhiko Shibusawa was placed under the supervision of the Special Abilities Division, and the Port Mafia became the leader of the underworld. The riots that caused chaos in Yokohama for 44 days, later known as the "Dragon Head War," were officially quelled.

Yokohama's nightlife has officially come under the control of the Port Mafia.

For Zhu Yu, the long and tedious main quest was finally completed, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.

Her dessert shop and snack company's business were affected during the main quest, but it has now finally returned to normal.

And she was finally able to relax and rummage through the trash without any worries.

"Um... Lord Kawakami."

A faint, almost inaudible voice came from beside me.

Zhu Yu paused in her rummaging through the trash and slowly turned her head.

She was a girl so thin she looked like she could be blown away by the wind. Her tattered clothes covered her frail body, and her face was dirty, but it couldn't hide her bright eyes.

The girl stood beside the pile of trash she was currently rummaging through, timidly clutching the hem of her clothes, as if she had mustered up all her courage to speak.

"...Do you need help?"

Zhu Yu glanced at the name above her head.

Oh, it's silver.

This girl named Akutagawa Gin was rescued by her during the "Dragon Head War".

At that time, a group of red-named players were chasing a group of homeless NPC children from the slums, and Akutagawa Gin was one of them.

After knocking down those red-named players who couldn't even withstand a basic attack, Zhu Yu healed each of the small NPCs who had lost health.

After touching the corpse, she was about to leave when Akutagawa Gin, the oldest among the group of homeless children, stepped forward.

"Please wait a moment, sir."

Yin didn't know where she got the courage from.

She staggered to her feet. Thanks to Zhu Yu's props, her wounds had healed without leaving any scars. However, the lingering pain in her nerves still made her tremble slightly.

Yin tilted her head back, her eyes wide open, as if trying to imprint every feature of Zhu Yu in her gaze.

"I am Gin Akutagawa."

Those eyes churned with emotions too pure to contain; longing surged like a tide, mixed with a kind of cautious hope.

"One day... I will definitely repay you."

"Please tell me your name!" she said earnestly, her hands clenched into fists.

Her experience as a homeless child trying to survive at the bottom of society led her to recognize that this kind adult was a member of the Port Mafia.

The members of the Hong Kong Triads have always looked down on homeless children from the lower classes and will not deliberately eliminate them, but if homeless children accidentally wander into the scene of a fight, they will not deliberately avoid them.

If you're unlucky, death is the only option.

This is life at the very bottom of Yokohama, struggling to survive like ants in this hellish world.

When she turned around, trembling, she saw enemies lying unconscious on the ground, and a figure standing in the sunlight, bathed in a halo of light.

The world is quiet.

The formidable enemy, whom they toyed with like a cat playing with a mouse, was dealt with in an instant.

Is this... true power?

Her fingertips pressed unconsciously against her chest, as if she could hold down her heart that was about to leap out of her chest.

As a "weak" person without any special abilities, she relies on the protection of her "strong" brother.

My brother is a superhuman, but he is still a superhuman who hasn't fully grown up yet.

To protect his companions, the older brother was always covered in blood. At night, he suppressed his coughs, unwilling to show his weakness.

Even with their brother's protection, many of their companions still died in the chaos that threatened the entire city of Yokohama.

How can I protect my companions and my brother?

As the weaker party, she was like a small insect trapped in a spider web, tightly bound, only to be cruelly devoured by the spider.

At that moment, the most primal desire burst forth from the depths of her heart.

I want to get closer, I want to become stronger.

Her heart was pounding; she desperately wanted to know the name of the man before her.

*

Zhu Yu nodded with satisfaction when she saw Yin obediently helping her rummage through the trash.

Then, her nerves tightened, and she subconsciously glanced next to Silver, only to breathe a sigh of relief when she found no other troublesome NPC in sight.

"Please rest assured, Lord Kawakami, my brother is not with me today." As if noticing what she was thinking, Gin kindly spoke up.

Chapter 192 Staring—

Zhu Yu carefully checked around and only felt truly relieved after finding that the name box for the NPC "Ryunosuke Akutagawa" did not appear.

It's not uncommon for games to feature a brother and sister NPC pair, so when players discovered that Akutagawa Gin, an NPC they adored, suddenly had a brother, she accepted it well.

However, she didn't expect that the two NPCs' personalities might be too different.

After that accidental rescue of Yin and her friends, she actually ran into them a few more times.

The slum where the homeless children lived was extremely unsafe, a melting pot of all sorts of people, and utterly chaotic. It was precisely because of this that many Mafia underground deals were held there, and her fieldwork required her to frequently visit the area.

Zhu Yu still had a vague impression of the NPC who always obediently called her "Lord [Kawakami]" whenever she saw her. She was so thin that she looked like a reed that could be broken by the wind at any time, which was obviously due to long-term malnutrition.

But her delicate eyebrows and eyes were like the first snow covered in a thin mist, with long eyelashes that made her eyes look like two clear springs, reflecting Zhu Yu's image.

She's also a beautiful NPC.

The poor NPC, every time I see her she's either being chased or starving and on the verge of death.

Fine, I'll give them some food, consider it feeding a homeless person.

Mimi, you won't blame the players, will you?

Once again, Zhu Yu encountered Silver, who only had half a health bar left. After feeding him, she was about to leave when she was suddenly stopped by a strange NPC next to Silver.

"Please wait a moment." The slightly hoarse boy's voice was accompanied by a few suppressed coughs.

He looked to be only about thirteen or fourteen years old, thin, and wearing an ill-fitting coat.

His short, slightly disheveled black-and-white hair made his handsome but bloodless face appear even paler, as if he had been ill for a long time.

His eyes were sharp and wary as he stared intently at Zhu Yu, but deep within them lay a complex and indescribable emotion.

“…Thank you.” He finally spoke, his voice low and somewhat stiff, “But why?”

"What do you mean, why?" Please, this NPC, be frank and speak your mind.

"Why are you helping us?" Ryunosuke Akutagawa's fingertips tightened slightly, his knuckles turning white. "We have nothing."

During his days surviving in the slums, he witnessed too many feigned acts of kindness that ultimately turned into deeper harm.

He and his companions once rashly accepted food from an adult who usually took good care of them, only to be drugged and later found that they had almost had their organs removed by a quack doctor.

"You..." he began in a hoarse voice, staring intently at her as if he would attack at the slightest provocation, "What exactly do you want?"

The people in front of her lacked nothing, and she had no need to take anything from orphans like them who were struggling to survive.

But that is precisely what makes it so frightening.

There's no such thing as a free lunch; even a three-year-old in the slums knows that.

Zhu Yu was taken aback by the NPC's question and began to wonder why she was feeding the NPC. Did the NPC have some deeper meaning in asking this question?

Thinking to no avail.

"There's no reason why," she said honestly. "I just gave it to them because I wanted to."

It's perfectly reasonable for a player to casually feed a beautiful NPC they encounter while wandering the streets, right?

Ryunosuke Akutagawa frowned even more, clearly dissatisfied with the answer. But Gin had already gently tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "Brother, Lord Kawakami is a good person..."

If I had to give a reason...

"Silver is cute."

As she spoke, she moved closer to Yin, circled around Yin a few times, and silently praised the NPC's modeling.

Yin's eyes widened instantly upon being praised, her cheeks flushed red, and she stammered, unable to utter a word.

Zhu Yu's gaze fell on Ryunosuke Akutagawa, lost in thought.
