"Thank you for your help!"

At a toy store in Shinjuku Ward, Shin Aso, who was watching the store, let out a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone.

Glancing at the alarm clock on the shelf, it was seven o'clock in the evening, and there were still twenty minutes before the arrival of the thug who came to collect protection money on time every day, and I didn't know if the phone I made was useful.

"I hope it helps." She prayed secretly.

Aso is 18 years old and is at the age of graduating from high school, but because she has no money to continue her education, she came to work at this toy store.

In other words, with her education, she can only find this kind of low-tech clerk job.

For now, she lives on her grandmother's pension, and since her parents divorced, she has been dependent on her grandmother for her life, but even so, she has not given up her dream of going to university.

She wants to work hard to save money, half a year is not enough, one year is not enough, two years is not enough, no matter what, it will always be enough.

Sometimes, Aso even fantasizes about what she will experience when she saves enough money to go to college.

I fantasize about whether I will meet a man who looks like Prince Charming in college, and fantasize about whether I can have a sweet love.

Because she has never been in love, whenever she fantasizes about this, she will lie on the bed and can't help shaking her calves.

Aso really grew up with his grandmother since he was a child, his family was not rich, he was bullied a lot, he always walked with his head down in school, he didn't dare to complain to the teacher when he was teased by his seniors, others lived in a colorful world, and her world was always full of haze.

It is precisely because of this that when the girl is pregnant with spring, she will look forward to meeting a prince charming like a blazing sun, and perhaps only the sun can drive away her haze.

Unfortunately, her luck was not very good, and she was blackmailed by the gang before she could work in this shop for long.

The gang on the street said that the store used to pay them protection money, but now that it has been changed to a toy store, they will continue to pay it.

If they don't pay it, they will smash the store, and before the smashing the store, they will send people to sit in the store every night, and the store that sells toys and comics will sit with hideous-looking thugs, and what customers dare to patronize?

As a last resort, she asked a classmate who was said to have contact with the underworld for help, and then the classmate gave her a number, which was the one she had just called.

I heard that the gang is not lawless, and there is still the family in charge, if the family is willing to come forward, then this matter will be easy to do.

Out of the psychology of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, she called the helpline of the underworld

It was the first time she had heard that there was also a helpline in the underworld.

After getting through, there was a girl with a sweet voice on the other end of the phone, and in order to win the family to come forward, Aso really had the audacity to add fuel to the operator and say how murderous the gangsters on the street were.

The girl on the line focused on asking her what rate adjustment, because she didn't understand very well, so she could only keep saying yes yes.

After a final wait for news, they hung up.

Looking at the little alarm clock on the shelf, it was already half past seven in the evening, and it was raining heavily today, and the water on the street could not reach the instep.

"Maybe that vicious guy won't come, right?"

Looking at the door, Aso really thought so.

However, things always did not happen according to her thoughts, and the bronze bell on the door rang with a jingle sound.

The guy who always came to the shop on time was dressed as usual in a fancy long white trench coat with a large bat hanging from his waist.

Coupled with her colorful hair, she looks more like a gangster than the gangster at the gate of her high school.

"Yo, you're still on duty today, Miss Zhen." The thugs greeted familiarly.

"Yes, welcome, Mr. Kotoshi Noda." Aso said with a reluctant smile.

Judging from this progress, this store is probably hopeless, the job I managed to find must be ruined, the money for college cannot be saved, and my grandmother's pension has to support the life of the two of them for an unknown amount of time.

Recently, life has been sluggish, what kind of job can she find after graduating from high school?

Thinking of this, Miss Zhen was depressed.

On the other hand, although Noda Shou seems to be holding JOJO's bizarre adventure comic book and reading it again, his eyes always glance at Aso's body from time to time.

There was really a very innocent feeling in front of her, don't look at her tall figure, but she was dressed no different from those students.

Black-framed glasses, orthodontic braces, long hair combed into a long ponytail, and a coral red hair card pinned to the ponytail, that's all Miss Shin is all about.

Although many of his former classmates have regarded him as a backer since joining the Noda group, and often introduced the cutest girl in the class to him, Noda Shou still thinks that this girl who works in a toy store attracts his attention the most.

But attracting attention is one thing, and collecting protection money is another.

Kozo, the leader of the Noda group, is his cousin, and he has handed over all seven stores on his site to take care of them, and the work is not complicated, which is to collect protection money.

Due to the sudden withdrawal of the store that originally sold sex toys from the seven stores, his territory was partially reduced, so he asked the new toy store to ask for the protection money stipulated by the previous store.

But the other party refused, on the grounds that he had never heard that a store that did a children's business would also pay a protection fee, so Noda Shou would come to demonstrate every day, wanting the owner to know the price of being rude to the Noda group.

Of course, at most, he just can't let the other party operate, and he has no hostility towards Miss Aso on duty, and even has some faint feelings for teenagers.

After all, he just dropped out of high school, and he was only eighteen years old.

In this way, Aso shrunk his body behind the counter to settle accounts, Noda Shou sat in the store and read manga, one clerk and one gangster, and everyone kept an eerie quiet.

until

Outside, the sound of conversation in the wind and rain came.

"Isn't it, I'm looking forward to the dead heads negotiating in the shrine, and then the black-clothed bodyguards are all over the big scene, and as a result, you brought me here, are we going to smash the convenience store together?"

Caesar's voice of disappointment came from outside the store.

"Shinjuku is a bountiful area for conservation fees, and many of the nightclubs and bars near Kabukicho pay conservation fees on a regular basis.

If the protection fee rate of the entire Shinjuku area is raised, the gang can even collect tens of billions of extra profits every year, and we can't ignore this kind of thing. ”

Yuan Zhisheng explained the problem to Caesar in Chinese, but he changed his mind again as soon as he finished explaining.

"It's just that I didn't expect that it wasn't a gray industry like a nightclub that called my family, but a . Toy store? ”

In the words of the two, the seven figures entered the store at the same time.

It can be seen that there are five men and two women, among whom the men's clothes are all black trench coats, and only two tall women are wearing distinctive black suits and pure white clothes.

Their black clothes are open, and the inner lining is very gorgeous, some of them are painted with Yaksha ogre, some are painted with pictures of naked women of mountain tigers, in short, they are extremely gorgeous, and they are the high-ranking personnel of the Japanese underworld at a glance.

And Noda Shou has also heard that the people who wear this kind of clothes are from their own family, law enforcement people!

This is a level that is completely inaccessible to a small organization like their Noda group, but how did they come here today?

On the other hand, Aso was also stunned, she didn't expect that the family, who was respected by the gang, would really send someone to her toy store.

"Do you need to contact the headquarters for something as trivial as a toy store?"

After coming in, he only saw a gangster from the middle and second line and a cowering female clerk, Yuan Zhisheng frowned and said.

Originally, he wanted Lu Mingfei and others to see the real underworld in Japan, but he ended up doing a trivial matter like being blackmailed in a toy store.

This caught him a little off guard, as the young master of the Eight Snake Families, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

"The operator may mistakenly think that the protection fee for the entire street is going to be raised." Yabuki Sakura's face also showed a rare embarrassment.

"This little bastard, do you want me to come?"

Caesar shook his shoulders and pulled open the placket of his suit, deliberately revealing the Yaksha ogre picture of the lining, this handsome decoration made him feel very substitutional, and he felt that he should be a character in the Japanese underworld.

Thinking of this, Caesar threw Dick Tudo on the table beside him, then moved a chair and sat down in front of Noda Shou, and then stared at him with that sharp gaze.

Noda Shou was stunned, he didn't dare to speak out in the face of such a terrifying look, and with the murder weapon that the other party had just thrown, he wondered if he was going to die.

Is it just that there are foreign law enforcers in the family, can it be said that the other party was hired?

No matter what he thought in his heart, Noda Shou was full of regret, he didn't expect things to get so big.

You must know that he only threatened a few words in words, as long as the shopkeeper said a few good words, he could go to the store to make money and make up for it, but this would actually alarm the law enforcers of the family, and it was seven at a time!

By the way, the same is the woman in the white trousers and a white tight long-sleeved top?

Noda Shou only saw this woman with a slender figure and an excessively beautiful face standing beside a young man, looking delicate and weak, completely different from the aura of several other people.

"Coffee, everybody."

Aso trembled and brought the tea to everyone.

The atmosphere of some solemnity eased a little because of her arrival.

"Aligado." After Chu Zihang took the coffee, he thanked him coldly in Japanese, which only knew much.

"It's okay."

It's a stiff smile, although this man with facial paralysis is very handsome, he still looks a little scary.

"Aligado, Good Coffee!"

On the other side, unlike Chu Zihang, in the face of Aso's cup of ordinary instant coffee, Caesar smiled like the sun breaking through the clouds, which was an expression that he had never shown when facing Noda Shou.

After taking a small sip, he showed amazement and appreciation, and even the expression that the brother who drank this cup of coffee was worth it in his life.

It was the first time that Aso had seen someone smile so brightly and so healing, and she had never seen anyone smile so kindly at her.

"Miss, Miss, I haven't served my coffee yet, it's cold when I just came in."

In Aso's trance, Fingal waved not far away.

"Oh, I'm sorry." After coming back to his senses, Aso Shin hurriedly walked towards Fingal with his plate.

"Let me do it." After chatting with Ryoma Xun for some reason, Lu Mingfei, who saw the situation here, came over and grabbed the tray and said, "That kind of guy, you don't have to be so used to him." ”

With that, he lightly handed the coffee to the others.

After Aso's departure, Caesar's courtesy disappeared again, in fact, for him, as long as the person who served him food and drink was a beautiful girl, he would not hesitate to return the favor with a smile and praise.

When he went on a mission in the Amazon River Basin, the beautiful little Indian girl brought him tapioca beer, knowing that this beer was brewed directly from the Amazon River, and even the filtration step was saved, but he still took the beer and drank it loudly.

Then he had diarrhea for three days.

Diarrhea is a trivial matter, but a noble son who rejects a beautiful girl will be disqualified in the world.

Seeing that there was nothing to do, Aso hesitated for a moment and then returned to Caesar and Noda Shou, nervously following the development of the situation.

"Your name." Caesar looked at Noda Shou coldly, and condescendingly coerced him with his gaze.

Seeing that Caesar wanted to play, Gen Zhisheng didn't bother to care about such trivial things, and after saying hello to Sakura and translating Caesar's words, he got up and started to shop around the store.

This kind of thug who manages the protection fee of several stores can be said to be completely out of the stream, and it is enough for him to scare him casually.

It's better to take care of these yourself, it's better to look at the plastic Luffy in the container, and the plastic Suzumiya Haruhi figurines.

It's just that why is Lu Mingfei also looking at these?

met on a narrow road, and the two knew that each other was an otaku.

"If the young master and Commissioner Lu like it, I can wrap it up and send it to you, and it will be regarded as a belated apology."

Seeing that the two didn't seem to be able to deal with each other, Ryoma Xun took a step forward and walked to the middle of the two.

"No, since Mr. Lu likes it, give him all of this." After saying that, Yuan Zhisheng turned around and walked to the other side.

"Thank you then." Looking at Yuan Zhisheng's back, Lu Mingfei also said unceremoniously.

"My name is Kotoshi Noda, I'm from the Noda Group in Kabukicho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, and I'm supposed to be the third generation of the future, and I'm now working with the second generation Koji Noda."

In the center of the store, Noda Shou said dejectedly in the face of Caesar's questioning.

"What is this, what group, and what grade is it?" Listening to Sakura's translation, Caesar asked incomprehensibly.

"According to the information, the Noda group was originally only responsible for the dredging of sewer pipes in Shinjuku District, and this kind of small gang will not rank in the family, so don't look at the name he reported for such a long time, but in fact, it is just a small gang that does not enter the stream." Yabuki Sakura explained to Caesar.

"You dare to raise the rate of protection fees?"

As soon as the conversation turned, Yabuki Sakura said to Noda Shou in a cold voice.
