I Became the Savior on the Fourth Day of Disaster - Chapter 10: This Feels So Good

Chapter 10: This Feels So Good

Port Mafia.

It wasn’t until Yunxi’s figure had completely disappeared that someone finally picked up the arrow he had left behind at the Port Mafia.

Ozaki Kouyou read aloud: Greetings, we are now enemies. I will be watching you constantly. Once I become stronger, I will visit daily. Please keep me entertained. The Savior who will win?

Not only was the handwriting awful, but it also sounded like awkward translated text…

What was this? Trying to imitate Plants vs. Zombies?

*

This time, Gogol finally had no intention of leaving Yunxi.

Yunxi was momentarily bewildered by the dripping wet Gogol, but quickly regained his senses after Gogol used his special ability to transfer all the water away.

Facing Gogol’s question, Yunxi looked up and clenched his fist determinedly: I want to become stronger, then destroy all my enemies!

Gogol: Hmm, seeking revenge? Because you don’t want to be constrained by hatred forever, so you’re using this method to achieve liberation quickly?

The spatial special ability suddenly activated, and Gogol’s knife appeared right beside Yunxi’s neck.

Yunxi barely managed to dodge it, looking quite disheveled.

The next knife directly appeared in Yunxi’s inevitable path.

While summoning a small knife to block it, Yunxi activated his player skill.

[Nimble Hands]!

Yunxi-kun, you’ll need to try harder from now on!

Over half a month passed like this.

Many things seemed to have happened in the outside world, but Yunxi paid no attention to any of them.

Yunxi had already begun simulated combat training with Gogol.

Unfortunately, Gogol’s dominance within a 30-meter radius was rather overwhelming. Moreover, Gogol had learned quite a few dirty tricks from Yunxi, such as forcibly injecting air into an enemy’s blood vessels or stuffing poison into their stomach.

Yunxi tried very hard to evade, and had even undergone specialized training for long-range attacks, yet every session still ended with Yunxi’s defeat.

After another day of painful training, Yunxi completely lost the will to move.

Yunxi opened his status panel.

Good, [Combat Power: 24 (8)].

He had improved, but not by much. Compared to true powerhouses, he was still terrifyingly weak.

Yunxi didn’t know how long he would need to train before he could successfully take revenge for his past self.

Yokohama was truly a terrible place! The player was really afraid that after completing the Savior mission and exiting the game, he might not achieve the Double A achievement, leaving him unable to take revenge when the time came…

Yunxi suddenly sat up and began muttering to himself: No, I need to go to the Port Mafia tomorrow. I’ll steal some more things and give them some dirty tricks while I’m at it…

Gogol’s head suddenly appeared in front of Yunxi.

That’s right, just a head, because Gogol’s body was still on the other side.

Gogol: But after your previous incident, Yunxi-kun, the Port Mafia will likely have strengthened their screening in that area. With your current disguise skills, it’s impossible for you to enter the Port Mafia.

But, but! The Clown knows a little about disguise…

Gogol avoided him at lightning speed: No~way!

A free clown wouldn’t take on any apprentices!

Yunxi wasn’t angry either. He glanced at the time and realized it was getting rather late.

First, we’ve been staying here for three days already. We can’t sleep here tonight. Second, all the safe bases I previously scouted have been used up. So there’s no other choice, Gogol – take me to one of your hideouts now!

Yunxi reasoned that since Gogol had been in Yokohama for so long without being noticed by locals, and had immediately relocated upon Yunxi’s arrival on the first day, he must have numerous hideouts.

The other probably wouldn’t mind bringing him along either.

But after a long wait, Yunxi received no response from Gogol.

Turning his head, Yunxi saw the Savior’s favorite clown in this world, completely petrified.

Yunxi: ?

Yunxi: Gogol?

Only then did the other snap out of it: Haha, Yunxi-kun really shouldn’t say such terrifying things anymore. Otherwise, this free clown will have no choice but to sever you as the chains binding the clown!

I know Yunxi-kun can resurrect, but the clown will keep killing you repeatedly until you stop breathing permanently. Even if this process would also bring the clown pain…

Yunxi imagined the pure white clown repeatedly stained with his blood, those heterochromatic eyes filled with pain because of him.

Yunxi instinctively gasped: Hiss, that sounds so thrilling?

Gogol: ?

Gogol: ???

Just as Gogol was about to say something more, Yunxi – having realized he’d accidentally revealed his true nature – immediately leaped and draped himself over Gogol:

Ahem! Let’s not waste any more time. We should get going quickly. The great Savior is desperately in need of rest.

If we arrive too late, the Savior’s Punctuality Treasure won’t go easy on you!

Gogol: ???

Gogol really wanted to ask when Yunxi had ever purchased Punctuality Treasure, but after looking at Yunxi hanging on him, then at all the bags hanging on Yunxi, and finally feeling the heavy weight on his body, Gogol simply raised his cloak.

Yunxi abruptly: You strum the pipa, playing the strings…

Gogol’s movement halted, his singing stopped.

Gogol raised his cloak again, the singing resumed, You strum…

Gogol withdrew his cloak, the sound ceased. Raised his cloak, I sit before the opera singer’s tower…

Gogol: .

Couldn’t understand it, but it was so strange. Was this some kind of Chinese travel BGM?

Forget it, given how freely the music box Yunxi was behaving, he’d think about it later.

Amidst the singing of How to convey sweet words to the heart… Gogol brought Yunxi to the hideout he’d chosen.

Though called Gogol’s hideout, it was actually just a hotel Gogol had confirmed had no connection to the Port Mafia.

Gogol directly selected the largest suite.

After settling in, Gogol mentioned he had other matters to attend to and temporarily left.

Yunxi could only sigh while lamenting, The places rich people live are really different from that broken factory where even thieves would feel sorry for the Savior and give him 200 yen, while habitually beginning to check for dangers.

Yunxi found a camera and dealt with it; found a small flying insect and dealt with it; found a cockroach and dealt with it…

Finally, Yunxi found a calico cat crouching on the outdoor AC unit.

If he hadn’t spared the flying insects and cockroaches, why should the cat be an exception?

Even though [Appraisal] told Yunxi this was just an ordinary calico cat, Yunxi wasn’t going to take that chance.

What if this cat was created by someone’s Special ability, transforming into a cat monster late at night, destroying everything around, leaving only my room miraculously intact?!

Yunxi wouldn’t mind sleeping alone, but Clown was here too!

Just as Yunxi reached out and grabbed the cat’s tail, the cat yelped in pain, sprang up, and struggled desperately to break free from Yunxi’s grasp, scurrying away on all fours.

Tch, it got away. Yunxi frowned in displeasure.

Well, as long as it doesn’t linger by the player’s window… wait.

Yunxi noticed cat fur clinging to their palm.

Yunxi: !!!

Facing what might be an extension of the strongest Esper—where every strand of fur could cost the player a life—even if its combat power was merely 5, Yunxi didn’t dare let their guard down.

The calico cat turned its head and found itself staring straight into the dark barrel of a gun.

It seemed unable to believe anyone would dare shoot an innocent little kitten, its pupils contracting into sharp vertical slits.

Yunxi calmly aimed and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

The highly agile calico darted behind a wall in a flash, leaving Yunxi’s shot to hit nothing but air.

Tch. Yunxi rolled their shoulders and stood up, calculating the odds of a successful pursuit.

Night was perfect for feline activities—Yunxi lacked night vision, and Yokohama’s maze of narrow alleys were easily navigable for cats but not for them.

What a pity, Yunxi remarked flatly. Next time I see it, I’ll pluck every last hair from its body.

Gogol returned just then, paying no mind to the escaped cat but curious about Yunxi. Yunxi-kun, aren’t you planning to rest?

Holstering the gun, Yunxi replied reflexively, But this is Yokohama. How about I take the first watch, and you take the second?

Gogol, recalling Yunxi’s peculiar luck: …

Gogol firmly declined, No, this place is safe, so Yunxi-kun should sleep through the night!

Trusting the kind-hearted Clown, Yunxi obediently washed up and got into bed.

But Yunxi’s hands grew restless the moment Gogol left, activating [Nimble Hands].

That’s right—even if an enemy became a husband (though Gogol hadn’t agreed yet), Yunxi would still steal whenever possible!

Besides, their relationship had improved significantly. Under these circumstances, even if Yunxi pilfered something important, Gogol might not hold it against them!

[Nimble Hands] succeeded the instant Gogol entered the bathroom, leaving a phone in Yunxi’s grasp.

Gogol’s phone?

So Gogol owned a phone! Why hadn’t he told the player?

The player had missed so many chances to contact him!

Yunxi turned on the phone to find it not only brand new but also lacking a lock screen password.

Oh ho, must be a recent purchase. Not setting a password on a new phone—how very free-spirited!

With that thought, Yunxi used Gogol’s phone to browse a familiar Chinese website, testing it out and discovering it was set up for password-free payments.

Yunxi grew even more excited.

They used Gogol’s money to order a bunch of items for themselves, shipping everything to a frequented shop in Yokohama. After confirming with the store that most deliveries would arrive smoothly, Yunxi felt accomplished.

Having wrapped that up, Yunxi freely answered an incoming call from an unrecognized number with a purple rat profile picture.

Yunxi said righteously, Hello, may I ask who you’re looking for?

The breathing on the other end seemed to falter for a moment.

But soon, an exceptionally elegant male voice came through: I’m looking for Gogol-kun. Is he not available at the moment?
