>Personal Secretary<
This is not a good job.
Kurumi was pretending to look at the documents while thinking.
It seems that the plot has changed because of the butterfly effect . The task that was originally given to Akutagawa has now been assigned to her.
However, she is not the kind of otherworlder who is determined to maintain the original world line. If the plot changes, it will change. Although she may not have the advantage of knowing the information of the original work, she is not a soft person as she possesses power of the worst spirit. At worst, everyone will rely on their own abilities.
What worried her was that if the plot had too many directions, the tasks issued by the system would most likely be impossible to complete.
The North American supernatural group [The Guild] wants to capture Nakajima Atsushi, and has commissioned the largest local criminal organization, the Port Mafia, to do the job.
In the original story, the Port Mafia was unable to complete the commission for a long time, which caused the leader of the group to become impatient and personally came to Yokohama, Japan to kidnap Atsushi himself.
If the plot develops according to the original work and The Guild comes to Yokohama, Kurumi will have the opportunity to complete the second side mission, which is to defeat the members of the group.
However, now because of her involvement, the person who was going to capture Nakajima Atsushi became herself.
If she really captured Atsushi and handed him over to them, The Guild would naturally not come to Yokohama to cause trouble again, and the second side mission would not be completed.
This is not what Kurumi wanted to see.
Therefore, in order to complete the second side mission, she must intentionally fail to capture Atsushi Nakajima.
But if she really did that, Mori might notice her lack of effort and subsequently lose trust on her.
Although Kurumi doesn't care much about other people's opinions of her, if she wants to complete the main mission, she must rely on the stage of the Port Mafia, so it is very necessary to get the recognition of Mori Ogai.
If she could, she really wanted to refuse this task.
However, she couldn't think of any reasonable excuse to refuse.
Helplessly, the only option now is to accept this task first and then plan gradually.
So, Kurumi put away the information in her hand, smiled and said: "Please leave it to me, Mr. Mori, I will do my best to complete it.
"Very well, in that case, please take this."
Mori took out a black cell phone and handed it to her: "This is the organization's dedicated contact phone. If you need support or to report a situation, use this phone to contact me. If I need you to come to the headquarters for something, I will also contact you through this phone."
"Oh? It does look a little different from the phones on the market." Tokisaki Kurumi turned on the phone, but found that there were only a few necessary software in it. "Could it be installed with a tracker or a bug, ready to monitor my every move at any time?"
"If it were someone else, I would probably do the same thing." Mori said bluntly, "However, for a person like Ms. Tokisaki who has the ability to read memories, I would not make such a low-level mistake that would destroy our trust."
"Trust...?"
Kurumi looked deeply at the man in front of her: "Even though I don't think I can earn your trust, please try your best to earn mine, Mr. Mori."
"I can only say that I will try my best..." Mori shrugged. "After all, I don't think it will be easy to gain Ms. Tokisaki's trust."
"As long as you can impress me with your sincerity, I believe this is not a difficult thing to do." Kurumi said teasingly, "If one time doesn't work, try twice. If two times don't work, try three times. Anyway, I'm already yours, and the last thing we lack is time."
"Ms. Tokisaki, please stop teasing a middle-aged lolita lover."
Mori showed a helpless look, touched Alice's head and said, "Alice can't stand hearing this. Look, she's already jealous."
"My apologies, I almost forgot Mr. Mori's unique preferences," Kurumi said with a gentle smile. "Well then, if there's nothing else, please excuse me."
"Just a moment, Miss Tokisaki."
"Is there anything else?"
"About your personal secretary." Mori showed a helpless expression, "In the past, there was only one guerrilla leader, Akutagawa Ryunosuke, so there was only one secretary, Higuchi Ichiyo, whom you met yesterday."
"Yes, a very gentle woman, probably not suited to be a mafia member."
"I share the same thought, but for some reason, she has remained in the organization. Even though I hinted that she could leave, she never accepted it," said Mori. "We're getting off-topic. In any case, my original intention was for her to assist Akutagawa-kun while also serving as your secretary to help you carry out your tasks. However, last night she refused to become your secretary, citing that 'assisting Lord Akutagawa is already exhausting her, leaving her with no energy to assist anyone else.'"
"It's really a pity. We obviously had a pleasant conversation in the car yesterday. We should get along very well."
"Higuchi doesn't seem to think so. When she talks about working for you, I can hear the tremble in her voice," said Mori in a calm tone. "Ms. Tokisaki, could I kindly ask you not to frighten my employees in the future? As a doctor, I assure you that psychological trauma is very difficult to treat."
"I don't remember ever scaring her," she said.
Kurumi lightly tapped her chin with her index finger, looking as if she didn't understand: "Maybe Mr. Mori misunderstood."
"Let's just assume it is."
Mori did not pursue the matter. He took out a stack of photos from a file bag beside him and spread them out on the table: "Higuchi cannot provide assistance due to personal reasons, but this is not a big problem. There are more than one person in the organization who can assist you. Please choose a personal secretary from these people."
Upon hearing this, Kurumi's first reaction was to refuse.
First of all, she doesn't need a secretary to assist her during missions. Given Tokisaki Kurumi's combat style, anyone else would just be a burden to her in battle.
Secondly, she didn't want someone associated with Mori Ogai to stay by her side, as the old fox Mori would definitely have his so-called personal secretary carry out surveillance tasks and report her daily activities.
If she accidentally give him any of her personal information, that would be terrible.
Just as Kurumi was about to refuse, she caught sight of a familiar face among the candidates for the private secretary in the photograph.
After hesitating for a moment, she ultimately chose not to refuse.
"I am not very familiar with the port mafia yet, so having a personal secretary to assist would indeed be a good idea."
Kurumi picked up the photo of the girl with vacant eyes and smiled as she said:
"Then, I will choose this child."
