Chapter 68: Accept the Task

＊＊＊

"That woman! I'm going to kill her!"

In the medical room on the first floor below the Port Mafia, Akutagawa was held down by several burly medical staff. He ignored the tube in his nose and shouted wildly with a ferocious face.

His roar filled the empty room.

"And that little brat who talks nonsense! Let me go! I'm going to tear his mouth apart!"

Several medical staff held down Akutagawa's body, but they couldn't hold down Akutagawa's restless heart and furious spirit. He looked full of energy, not like a man who was almost paralyzed by Tiantian.

"Huh—"

Nakahara looked exhausted, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and now he was standing at the door of the medical room with a vicissitudes of life, looking at Akutagawa who looked like a fried live fish.

The man stood at the door and waited for a while. After the attending doctor came out, Nakahara threw the cigarette butt in his hand into the trash can next to him without expression, and walked up with his arms folded.

Nakahara: "Doctor, do you have any suggestions for the next treatment of this black lizard?"

This Akutagawa Ryunosuke had been lying in bed for a day, when could he get out of bed?

When this guy was away for a day, the black lizards were leaderless and blatantly lazy.

Some were drinking milk tea, some were playing LOL.

In short, Nakahara just walked around and found that they were basically daydreaming.

"..."

The middle-aged doctor who came towards him raised his upper eyelids calmly and spoke slowly and steadily.

"Our next step is to remove the tube from Akutagawa-sama."

The tone was calm.

Nakahara: "...ah?"

The man widened his eyes, and with trembling fingers, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and held it in his mouth as if to calm down.

"What do you mean? You won't save him now? Is Akutagawa's condition getting worse? That woman won't smash Akutagawa's brain with an axe, will she?"

Nakahara said as he stuck his head in to look at Akutagawa through the window; he said with some worry.

"Ah, it's not that I'm going to give up treatment."

The doctor said slowly.

"Do you think Akutagawa-sama is full of energy? Does he look like someone who needs a tube?"

Nakahara: "..."

Old man, you're panting so hard when you talk.

At this time, you're still expressing your feelings in installments.

"But—"

The doctor pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose.

"Akutagawa-sama had a severe head impact before, which caused cerebrospinal fluid to flow out of his nasal cavity just now. This matter can be serious or minor, we still need to observe. Akutagawa-sama is very likely to show symptoms of overexcitement and epilepsy in the future, so we do not recommend him to leave here."

Nakahara: "..."

The cerebrospinal fluid had been ejected...

Was Akutagawa too low, or was that woman too top?

The doctor silently took out his small notebook, skillfully took out a pen and began to "write, write, write" on it.

"That's it, Cadre Nakahara, we will give Akutagawa-sama a hyperthyroidism test later. Although he will be a little excited during this period... but this looks too excited..."

The doctor raised the pen, looked at Akutagawa who was roaring and roaring inside, and said to Nakahara speechlessly, "To be honest, the barking of my dog ​​when it was beaten is better than this."

Nakahara: "..."

Nakahara: "...oh."

This doctor's words were really bad.

After a brief friendly exchange with Mori Ogai, Tiantian used the excuse of wanting to smoke to walk out of the port building alone and squatted in the alley behind the building. She took the photos provided by Mori with her mobile phone and sent them to Satoru.

After a while, Satoru got off the phone with a phone call.

Tiantian picked up the phone and began to verbally "humiliate" Mori with Satoru.

"A gangster is a gangster. He is still not satisfied with so many superpowers at his disposal, he is greedy and never satisfied. If they could not solve the problem of this finger, this finger would have been secretly hidden in the bedroom by the old ghost Mori as an old man's pleasure."

Speaking of this, Tiantian felt that it was a little short of the point, so she added another sentence.

"Sure enough, the old fart who is not dead is a pest."

[Satoru: "..."]

On the other end of the phone, Satoru's voice was silent for a while, and he seemed to be hesitant.

[Satoru: "...Tiantian, if I remember correctly, the age of the leader Mori seems to be... about 40?"]

He is only in his forties, but Tiantian scolded him as "the old fart who is not dead is a pest". [1]

Then he, who was 28 years old, was already half buried in the ground?

"Gojo-sensei, don't pay attention to these details."

Tiantian said indifferently.

["Ahem."]

Satoru cleared his throat on the other end of the phone.

When Satoru spoke again, his voice seemed unusually formal.

["Tiantian, it's like this, I have seen the photos you sent. This mission was my misjudgment, you should come back first, don't alarm those mafia, I'm afraid you can't solve this."]

"..."

Tiantian narrowed her eyes and listened carefully to every word Satoru said, and she also had her own judgment in her heart.

On the other end of the phone, Satoru continued to apologize to Tiantian in a good voice, urging Tiantian to pack up and bring people back quickly.

["I'm sorry, Tiantian, this is the first time I've asked you to lead a team. I didn't give you a good experience. However, it's too risky to use Ryomen Sukuna's finger as a training for you."]

["You guys come back first. I'll stop the work here and I'll personally handle the matter in Yokohama."]

"Gojo-sensei."

Tiantian waited quietly for Satoru to finish speaking and started her own speech.

"Gojo-sensei, do you believe me?"

[Satoru: "......."]

•

By the time Tiantian had finished psychological work for Satoru and given an impromptu speech, about forty minutes had passed.

When Tiantian put away her phone and returned to the Port Mafia building, before she saw the receptionist, she saw Toge coming out of the elevator with an anxious look on his face.

"Where did you go?"

Toge asked worriedly.

He and Maki were in the reception room arranged by the Port Mafia. After waiting for a long time, Tiantian didn't come back. He called Tiantian's mobile phone, but found that it was always busy.

Toge was sitting there uncomfortably.

He was always worried that Tiantian would speak out righteously in front of the Port Mafia leader; in the end, the unhappy Port Mafia leader directly ordered her to be shot with a machine gun.

"I just called Gojo-sensei to report. Why did you come down alone? Where are Junpei, Maki and Panda?"

Tiantian answered while looking at Toge curiously, and then looked behind him, and finally found that only Toge came down.

"They are watching a movie in the private cinema on the 27th floor... The person who received us said that it was too late today and it was not suitable for action. Let everyone rest. Someone will come to pick us up to Suribachi City tomorrow morning."

So that's it... no wonder the line was busy.

Toge replied a little embarrassedly, realizing that he was overthinking.

Tiantian: "..."

Private cinema...

Well, everyone was served well before.

"Miss Yaga."

At this moment, the woman at the front desk touched the Bluetooth and nodded to Tiantian with a smile on her face.

"Miss Yaga, the car is ready, you can leave at any time."

The black-clad attendant at the front desk raised an elegant smile, crossed her hands on her waist and abdomen, and bowed slightly to Tiantian politely.

"Okay, thank you."

Tiantian nodded at the attendant, then turned to look at Toge, who was a little confused.

"Inu... no, Toge, you go back and rest first, tomorrow may be a fierce battle. I will go to Toge to check the spot first."

Tiantian patted Toge's shoulder kindly and instructed in a gentle voice.

"..."

Toge was stunned for a moment, half of his face was submerged under the high collar; only the pair of purple eyes that were particularly bright in the sunset were shrinking slightly.

"The car is at the door, Miss Yaga."

The attendant at the front desk politely extended her hand and made a gesture of invitation to the door.

"Let's not talk about it now. I'm leaving now."

Tiantian looked at the door and turned to say goodbye to Toge.

"—!"

She just turned around and took a step, and the tail of her clothes was pulled.

"...?"

Tiantian turned her head.

She saw Toge firmly pulling her clothes, his eyes flickering.

"I want to go with you."

Toge's ending tone seemed a little high-pitched. When he said this, he didn't know whether it was because of excitement or because he was a little embarrassed; the whole sentence was a little anxious.

But it could not be denied that his attitude was very firm.

So firm that Tiantian could see at a glance that he might not be able to send this little princess up today.

Unless she herself didn't go.

Tiantian: "...okay, let's go and take a look together, just as a pre-meal exercise."

Just like that, Tiantian and Toge got into the private car together.

•

Along the way, neither of them spoke first. The driver in front was like a robot, except that he was still breathing; the atmosphere in the whole car was no different from automatic driving.

"..."

Tiantian placed her hands on her knees, her eyes wandering.

She didn't know why, but she always felt a little awkward when she was alone with Toge.

Maybe she had understood some things in her heart, but Tiantian had never taken them too seriously.

After all, she was farming and talking nonsense all day, and her image was not good before; not to mention that she didn't plan to live here for a long time.

"Toge, why did you come down so anxiously before?"

Tiantian suppressed her embarrassment and smiled as if nothing had happened.

In any case, he came to help her; it had nothing to do with other feelings, and just based on this, Toge was really good to her.

As the saying went, don't hurt someone if you don't love them.

Toge was still young, so just talk to him later; but don't ignore him.

It's too hurtful.

"You have a bad temper... I'm worried that you might have been..."

Toge spoke in a low voice, but he was halfway through when he suddenly realized something; he looked up at the driver in front of him and quickly shut up.
