Travelling Frog

Chapter 43

Views:

Being greedy and doing bad things are instincts that are etched in our DNA.

When Hojo Natsuki finished attacking the frog in a very natural way, the system favorability reminder quickly popped up.

[[Qin Frog] Favorability -5]

[[Qin Frog] Current Favorability -20]

Hojo Natsuki is pretty good at lowering favorability points now. Anyway, he didn't run away from home when he was at level -100, so just love to click on it.

The frog glared at him, took out the shamisen and piano that had been plucked out and threw them away, then fiercely closed the piano lid with one claw, as if closing the lid of an enemy's coffin.

[Natsuki]:Do you want to learn? It's easy to learn

[Gin]: No

[Natsuki]: I’ll teach you!

[Gin]:Go to hell

[Natsuki]: Once you learn it, we can play with four hands! We will definitely have a tacit understanding.

Four-hand piano playing refers to two frog claws and a pair of human hands.

Not surprisingly, the frog refused coldly and decisively, probably because he felt that it was a waste of resources to use the sniper's claws to play the piano.

[Gin]: No

Hojo Natsuki could only bow his head to his son: [Okay, if you are interested, tell me, I can teach you the basic fingering and exercises]

He also knew that he probably wouldn't be able to wait for that day. Just like there is no fool in a point-and-shoot camera or no money in a wallet, it seems understandable that the frog can't play the piano.

However, the frog did not mention the piano's space later, and just let it sit in the corner of the hut, obtrusive. It was like that, sometimes it didn't tolerate dust, and sometimes it was very accommodating. Hojo Natsuki still couldn't figure it out.

In the year he received his degree from the University of Tokyo, Kurosawa Jin was 21 years old and officially had the code name "Gin". Since the previous two years, the members of the organization have called him "Gin". The boss's belated email made this name a fact. Kurosawa's coldness and efficiency were obvious to all, and no one raised any objections.

This code name should have been given to him long ago, but when Hojo Natsuki handled the chores in this area, he always chose [One-click Processing] and did not realize that to give a code name, he had to manually fill in the code name for the member in the email template, otherwise the email could not be sent.

Therefore, in the past few years in the game, more than a dozen emails were put into the cold palace (draft box), and the organization boss failed to successfully appoint any code member.

If Hojo Natsuki hadn't suddenly thought, "Why does the information panel on Kototo Frog still say 'Kurosawa Jin' instead of 'Gin'?", this matter would have been delayed again and again until the end of time.

Xia Shu prioritized the code name of Qinwa, then opened Google, searched for wine names, selected relatively rare foreign wine names, filled them into the email template as if copying homework, and sent out more than a dozen group emails in one go.

There was nothing wrong with it in the members' view. The new boss appointed the first batch of code-named members, deliberately extended the probation period, and uniformly awarded code names after the probation. This was a manifestation of the boss's own prudence.

However, after receiving the email, Kurosawa Jin remained silent.

[___Kurosawa Formation___,

In view of... your dedicated service to our frog organization... therefore, you are granted the code name ___Gin___

N]

Kurosawa scanned the email quickly. The text format and the wine code were all as expected. The print on the white background of the email was a small frog outline... So he tilted his head and asked Rum, "What is the Frog Organization?"

After several years, Rum has become desensitized to this question. With a kind of calmness that shows he has seen through the mundane world, he answered: "As you can see, it is the name of our organization."

Kurosawa Jin: “…”

Kurosawa Jin: “.”

Naturally, from this moment on, he began to consider the feasibility of defecting or killing the boss to take over.

"Boss likes to joke, but don't try to challenge his bottom line." Rum sensed Kurosawa's silent disdain and warned him in a low voice, "... Over the years, you have dealt with many traitors in the organization. You know what will happen to them.

. "

Kurosawa Jin remained calm.

And he still didn't take the mentally retarded frog head seriously.

Rum smiled, "It's normal for young people to be impetuous. Once you calm down, you will be able to see the essence of things." He added slowly and mysteriously, "Boss has abilities that are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people... You will know in the future."

The second half of the sentence finally caused a slight change in Kurosawa Jin's icy expression.

Rum refused to say more, patted him on the shoulder, and stood up to leave.

Kurosawa Jin opened his mailbox again and stared at the letter "N" at the end of the email for a long time. His intuition made him connect these clues together, pointing to Natsuki's identity, "N", unique psychopathic style, "ability beyond the scope of ordinary people's understanding"...

But the other party has expressed it tactfully: I am not in the world you are in.

Kurosawa was silent and thought for a moment.

He could ask Natsuki directly, but if he got a negative answer, it would seem that he cared too much about her, to the point that he had to connect her with the boss of the organization, whom he had only met once. It was as if he had chewed and ruminated on the information about Natsuki many times, so he made a conditioned guess - in the eyes of the other party, it would be "you have me in your heart", which made him feel sick...

So, how should we ask

Hojo Natsuki, who was outside the screen, naturally didn't know the dilemma of Kurosawa's formation.

The villa where he lived alone welcomed a familiar long-lost guest. He put on slippers and walked through the corridor, lying on the sofa in great comfort, picked up the coated biscuits on the coffee table, opened the package and started eating.

"Natsuki-kun, please take me in for one night." Dazai Osamu stared at him with a pair of fake sincere eyes, "My safe house was found and burned by the people in Port Maifa. Now I am being hunted and have nowhere to go."

Hojo Natsuki really didn't expect that he would meet this enemy again so soon.

He naturally had a loving companion and said gently: "I'll give you three days' hotel accommodation. Get out and don't blame my house. I'm annoyed when I see you."

Dazai Osamu made two hypocritical "嘤嘤" sounds, which gave people goose bumps: "It's only been a short time since we last met, have you already forgotten our feelings?"

Natsuki: "What feelings? If you don't have them, you can create something out of nothing."

Dazai: “Scumbag.”

Hojo Natsuki thought for a moment and gave another suggestion: "Chuya is in a luxury apartment in Meguro District. I remember he said he lived on the 18th floor. You can go there..."

Dazai: "He actually replaced it with an electronic lock that automatically alarms, which is difficult to pry."

Xia Shu: "Where's the villa halfway up the mountain?"

Dazai: "I've been there. No one has lived there for half a year. It's all dusty and there's nothing to eat."

Natsuki reacted and accused, "Wait, why do you know so much about Chuuya's properties? That's too much!"

Dazai: “?”

Dazai meowed loudly, "You too! How dare you talk about my flexible morals!"

Hojo Natsuki had no choice but to take this guy in for one night. Fortunately, his place didn't have much else to offer but enough rooms, so he decided to arrange Dazai to stay in the guest room upstairs, hoping that he wouldn't cause any trouble.

After dinner, he found that Qinwa had sent him a message.

[Gin]: Where are you

Hojo Natsuki: “?”

Isn't this question too broad

[Natsuki]:In Yokohama

[Gin]:Yokohama

[Gin]:Oh.

It seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if it was curious about a certain question but was too embarrassed to ask directly.

Hojo Natsuki began to feel touched: Could it be that Guagua finally became curious about his father? Could it be that he was too busy these two days and didn't go online much, and accidentally ignored it

He decided to give Qin Frog a push.

[Natsuki]

: Why don’t you ask me what I usually do

[Gin]: Oh

[Gin]:So what do you do

[Natsuki]:Traffic police, patrolling the streets every day

[Gin]:

[Gin]:Psychosis

[Natsuki]: Just kidding, I am a mafia member

[Natsuki]: It is not an underground organization, but a legitimate and legal tax-paying enterprise =w=

[Gin]:Oh.

[Natsuki]: So, why are you asking this all of a sudden? I thought you didn't care.

[Gin]:…

[Gin]:I didn’t ask, you just talked to yourself

—Then turn the tables.

[Natsuki]: I'm very busy and can only spare time to play with you occasionally, but don't worry, Gin-chan, my wallet is always open to you. I may not be here sometimes, but my money will always be with you.

[Gin]:Psychosis

After finishing typing, the frog seemed to be about to turn off its phone, and Hojo Natsuki took the opportunity to complain to it.

[Natsuki]:Here comes a guy who is even more annoying than colleague A

[Natsuki]: He came to my house to stay for one night today. I hope he doesn't do anything, otherwise I will hunt him down.

[Gin]:

[Gin]:Who is it

Xia Shu was about to simply reply "friend", but saw Qinwa with a stern face, his stick-drawn green eyes full of murderous intent, his gaze fixed on the small mobile phone screen, as if he was ready to tear it in half with his eyes.

Xia Shu was flattered: "?!"

Is my son unhappy?!

He must be jealous! —Honestly, that's unlikely.

Is it because the frog has no friends and no other small animals come to visit its home (except the unlucky monk black bear), so it is envious

The message stopped at the sentence "Who is it" sent by Qinwa.

Hojo Natsuki stared at Dazai Osamu running around in the kitchen and study, thought seriously for a few seconds, and replied: [He is not a human]

[Gin]:…

[Gin]: What is that

Hojo Natsuki answered quickly, almost instinctively.

[Natsuki]: It’s a dog

—Yes, Dazai Osamu is a dog, no one would disagree with this.

The frog's green face wrinkled, obviously showing disdain, and it was unclear whether it was directed at the dog species itself, or at something else. It probably felt that Xia Shu didn't respond seriously, so it didn't want to continue this boring conversation.

[Gin]: I'm out.

[Natsuki]: No, let's talk for a while. I want to talk to you.

[Gin]: No

Qinwa said this, but did not put away his phone immediately.

It seems that he is not that stubborn.

Hojo Natsuki stared at the chat records, and thought that one day in the future, the Koto Frog would know the true identity of the puppy daddy, and it would always discover the biggest secret of the daddy and the Koto Frog organization—the Boss was not actually a frog, but a group of white striped puppy.

So he decided to test it now and give it a shot of prevention.

[Natsuki]: Do you like puppies

[Gin]:I don’t like it

[Natsuki]: Why? What's wrong with dogs

[Gin]: annoying, stupid, ugly

Hojo Natsuki choked, not quite convinced.

[Natsuki]:There are also smart and good-looking ones. We can’t generalize dogs.

[Gin]:…

[Gin]: I’m going to vomit

Hojo Natsuki: “?”

Damn it, my son hates his daddy, what should I do

A few seconds later, he chose to save the situation in a roundabout way. [Natsuki]: Which color of puppy do you think is slightly cuter? Less annoying

To be frank, to be frank

of!

Surely such a clean color wouldn’t be offensive

[Gin]: It’s so noisy

[Gin]: I hate them all.

[Gin]: So many questions, are you a dog

Hojo Natsuki was mocked by the frog again. He wanted to reach out and rub it hard, but he felt that this was a godsend opportunity, so he resisted the urge to play with the frog and blew up his truck: [Actually, that, I am. ]

[Natsuki]: Have you ever seen a Maltese dog? A group of white lines

[Gin]:…

The frog's disgusted expression turned into a familiar and speechless "What is he crazy about?", obviously not wanting to talk nonsense with him anymore; and this look was understood by Hojo Natsuki as annoyance towards the dog.

[Gin]:I am sick

[Natsuki]:? Why are you scolding me again

It's so weird. I was so honest and bold in admitting my identity to it, but it actually cursed at me - the frog has such a bad temper!

[Natsuki]: That's unreasonable. You must tell me why you hate puppies.

[Natsuki]: The puppy didn't do anything wrong, and it loves you unconditionally, so why do you hate it

After typing, Hojo Natsuki stared at the screen disdainfully, retracted his fingers, and waited for its response.

For some reason, Qinwa was stunned for two seconds and absent-mindedly put the phone back into his windbreaker pocket.

In the end, I didn’t reply.
