Hearing this, the old Fujiwara family head on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, and said:
[I understand. I will get rid of all the fish in my house.]
Fujiwara Daichi did not refute what he heard. He just chatted with her for a few more words, asked about his father's recent situation, turned off the phone, turned around, looked in the direction of the door, rolled up his sleeves, and muttered:
“I just finished the fish tank, but I have to clean it again.”
As he said that, Fujiwara Daichi shook his head and turned to enter the entrance.
-
Chiyoda, on the street in the city.
Luo Shu, who was driving the car, glanced at the goldfish in the glove box, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a mocking smile.
Chapter 257 Secretary Yukino
7 o'clock in the evening, Akihabara area, Tokyo headquarters of the Secret Management Department.
Luo Shu drove over and parked his car in the garage on the first floor. Then he carried the gift box and the bag of cooked goldfish to the elevator door and pressed the button.
The elevator button lit up, and soon the elevator door slowly opened.
Luo Shu, who was about to enter the elevator, was surprised when he saw Yukinoshita Yukino coming out with a bag:
"Yukino?"
"minister?"
Yukinoshita Yukino was also surprised to see Luo Shu. After taking a quick glance at Luo Shu and seeing what he had in his hand, she said in surprise:
"Is there something urgent?"
"Not really." Luo Shu responded, then glanced at Yukinoshita Yukino who was in casual clothes, and asked in surprise: "You've been working overtime until now?"
"Yes."
Yukinoshita Yukino responded calmly as she walked out of the elevator:
"The Research Department sent a lot of equipment today. It took some time to receive them. In addition, there is also the archive preparation for some special items stored in the management area... Before I knew it, 063 has been busy until now."
Hearing this, Luo Shu suddenly realized something and raised the wooden box in his hand and said:
"Are you hungry? Would you like some dessert?"
"I ate a lunch box." Yukinoshita glanced at the wooden box in Luo Shu's hand. Seeing that the style was different from the lunch box prepared by Kisara, she raised her eyebrows slightly: "Where did you buy the lunch box, Minister?"
Luo Shu heard this and said heartlessly:
"It was given by my blind date, and I had to accept it."
Hearing the description of 'blind date', Yukinoshita Yukino tilted her head, and looked at Luo Shu with eyes suddenly full of deep meaning.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Luo Shu touched his cheek curiously.
"According to the schedule, the Minister doesn't seem to have a 'blind date' today, right?"
Yukinoshita Yukino sighed helplessly, took out a notebook and pen, and said:
"If you want to change the itinerary you asked me to report, please remind me in time, otherwise it will be very troublesome to check with the headquarters."
"By the way, if you submit the itinerary on the same day, it generally does not constitute a violation, so..."
Yukinoshita Yukino had a formal smile on her face, as if saying "Please tell the truth about the crime."
Seeing this, Luo Shu complained: "You, as a temporary guest secretary, are getting into work mode pretty quickly?"
After saying that, he changed the subject and said, "But you don't have to worry about the reporting, because this 'blind date' has already been reported."
Hearing this, Yukinoshita Yukino was stunned at first, then she reacted and said in surprise:
"A family dinner for the Minister of Agriculture?"
"Yeah." Luo Shu sighed and complained, "I got to meet Minister Fujiwara's three daughters in one go. Even the snack in my hand was given to me by their eldest daughter. Don't you think it's fun?"
Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Luo Shu hesitantly, she thought that Luo Shu was a scumbag who went on a blind date with girls when he already had unclear relationships with Miss Kasumigaoka and Miss Kisara, but it turned out that he was also fooled?
Although she felt that Luo Shu was also very pitiful, why did she want to laugh so much:
"If Ms. Kisara knew, she would probably be very angry, right?"
Luo Shu glared at Yukinoshita Yukino. This girl kept talking about things that were not related to the topic.
"She doesn't know this will happen. Of course, you'd better not mention it."
After saying this, without waiting for Yukinoshita Yukino to respond, Luo Shu continued:
"It's better for me to bring it up to her myself. After all, if you, Yukino, bring it up, it will become a delicate situation like 'even Yukino knows it, but I don't know it'."
"Given Kisara's personality, it's impossible for him to know this without suspecting that I have more than a dozen people outside."
".....In a sense, it is completely irrefutable." Yukinoshita Yukino thought about Kisara's jealous character and realized that what Luo Shu said was true.
Of course, based on her observations of Kisara during this period, it is estimated that Kisara's resistance in the end will probably only be "As long as you don't bring her home and don't divorce me, Shu-kun will still love me", the kind of drama that you would see in a prime-time soap opera.
....I guess the only thing in that devil lady's head is the word "love", right?
"So, your reward today is these two 'return gifts'?"
Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes swept over Luo Shu's hands. She could understand a dessert box, but why was there a bag of goldfish?
When Luo Shu heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face:
"If you don't want to eat dessert, I'll enjoy it myself. As for the fish, I guess I'll have to ask you to register it."
Yukinoshita Yukino's expression changed slightly when she heard this. As the only secretary in the Secret Management Department, there was only one thing she registered that was worth mentioning by Luo Shu.
That is the 'inventory registration' of the 'secret management area', that is, the inventory registration of things on the mysterious side.
Does the goldfish in Luo Shu's hand need to be registered? Is it a living abyss item? Or is it a non-human life that needs to be imprisoned in a secret management area?
Why are there such controlled items in the home of the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries?
Thinking of this, Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't help but ask:
"Is Minister Fujiwara in good health?"
At this time, Luo Shu was smiling and said with a bit of amusement:
"I went over and took a quick look, and everything was fine."
"Of course, under normal circumstances, Mr. Fujiwara would probably clean up the clutter at home, as long as he doesn't have a donkey on his mind."
Yukinoshita Yukino, who understood Luo Shu's meaning and the subtext of 'the only source of danger is the goldfish', breathed a sigh of relief:
"understood."
After saying that, she turned around, pressed the elevator button again, and entered the elevator shaft:
"Do you need me to accompany you into the warehouse?"
Luo Shu thought about it for a moment, then nodded and said:
"That's fine. After all, you need to adapt."
The two immediately stepped into the elevator and went to the third floor, where they took another elevator and arrived at the secret management area underground.
Inside the plastic, the goldfish, who was watching the entire process, just swam around blindly, as if it knew nothing about anything.
Finally, Luo Shu arrived at the metal gate where the "Kingdom of God" was located. He stopped and said with a smile:
"Then, Mr. Fish Monster, could you please come forward and explain the situation?"
The words fell.
Inside the plastic bag, a goldfish blew bubbles.
Under Luo Shu's waiting and Yukinoshita Yukino's watching,
The atmosphere froze at this moment.
Chapter 258 King Ye?
In the white plastic bag held by Luo Shu, three big red goldfish were swimming aimlessly, as if they didn't hear what Luo Shu had just said.
"Are you going to turn a deaf ear to it?"
Luo Shu was also suddenly enlightened when he saw this scene. He didn't say anything else, but instead glanced at Yukinoshita Yukino who was standing beside him.
Receiving Luo Shu's gaze, Yukinoshita Yukino retreated decisively and only stopped after she had put a distance of five meters between them.
Seeing Yukinoshita Yukino walking away, Luo Shu turned back, narrowed his eyes, and threw the plastic bag in his hand high up while staring at the goldfish in his hand.
The next second, misfortune wrapped around the anchored goldfish.
The 'kidney stone pain' just collected from the hospital in the morning was immediately given to the three-headed goldfish.
Suddenly, the expression of one of the three goldfish suddenly changed.
The goldfish, whose eyes were originally distracted and without any spirit, suddenly showed a myriad of emotions at this moment.
Then, a scream like a roar came from the small fish lips:
“Ahhhh——!!!”
With the screams, the three-finger-sized body of the fish suddenly began to swell. Almost at the same time, it burst the plastic bag with a loud bang.
"Ahhhh-!!"
The cries of pain continued, and the goldfish's body had now expanded to a length of about meters. Black segmented textures appeared on its bright red skin, and it was filled with the texture of muscle meridians.
At the same time, the goldfish's pectoral and pelvic fins, which were originally milky white, turned into human-like hands and feet at this moment, and they kept clenching their fists and smashing the ground, making banging sounds.
“…Is this a monster?”
Having witnessed this monster-like abnormal development with her own eyes, Yukinoshita Yukino came behind Luo Shu with an unnatural expression, looking nervously at the fish monster that was pounding the ground with the horn.
Although she had seen people from the Operations Department bringing in some monster remains and sealing them in a secret management area during the day, this was the first time she had seen a living monster.
Luo Shu looked at the screaming fish demon and said calmly:
"It should be a small monster. Its demonic aura, no, it should be said that its 'fear' is not strong."
Although the monsters in the Abyss Warring States World and the monsters in the present world are both monsters, their development is different.
The monsters in the Abyss Warring States World cultivate the power of the soul, and generally use the power of the soul to strengthen their bodies, constantly alienating and growing larger.
The monsters there call the mixed power of alienated physical strength and soul power "demon energy".
This evil spirit is the cornerstone of the rampant tyranny of monsters in the Warring States Period.
On the contrary, the monsters in the modern world are different. Although they also cultivate soul power, they do not rely on cultivating their monster bodies. Instead, they use sophisticated techniques to integrate the spiritual power of other lives and combine them into a power called "fear".
Compared to demonic energy, fear cultivation is easier and has a very low cost. As long as the little demons scare people and harvest human spiritual power, they can quickly become stronger, and their methods are weird.
But because of this, the monsters that practice fear are generally not strong, and some blades can break their defense. Even a few big monsters cannot withstand the blades blessed by the Onmyoji's magic. It can be said that there are gains and losses.
Of course, for Luo Shu, there is no need to worry about the monster's strong physique.
No matter how strong your physique is, the pain from kidney stones will still be excruciating.
Even though some monsters can change their body structure, they cannot withstand the "pain in the concept of disaster" given by Luo Shu, rather than actually stuffing a stone into someone's kidney.
In the face of disease, all living beings are almost equal, even monsters.
At this time, seeing that the goldfish really turned into a monster, Yukinoshita Yukino frowned and said:
"Why would a monster target the current minister?"
“It’s really rare.”
Luo Shu was also quite curious about this:
"Although the current cabinet bureaucrats have mysterious personnel responsible for security, unless they are prime ministers, the security level is basically not high."
"Bureaucrats are the most afraid of death and cannot stand anything that could threaten their lives."
“So, special safety management regulations came into being.”
"And in the security management regulations, there is a clause that major forces are not allowed to send mysterious personnel to monitor public officials on duty. In addition, higher-level public officials who are aware of the situation will also regularly go to shrines, temples and other relevant places to check the situation to ensure that there is no conspiracy..."
Having said this, Luo Shu stroked his chin and looked at the howling fish demon meaningfully:
"Normally, unless it's a young and ignorant monster, no one would attack a public official, let alone a cabinet minister. But this phenomenon still happened, and it was disguised as an 'ornamental fish'."
