I Became the Savior on the Fourth Day of Disaster - Chapter 111: Identity Plate · Rats in the House of the Dead Russian Member · 1997

Chapter 111: Identity Plate · Rats in the House of the Dead Russian Member · 1997

[Gogol opened his mouth, seemingly intending to explain his psychological journey of liking Yunxi as Master since childhood.

Fortunately, Yunxi noticed the danger and abruptly interrupted: Has the topic strayed?

The host suddenly understood and began interviewing Shibusawa Tatsuhiko: What are your thoughts on Yunxi-kun accepting these disabled employees…

It doesn’t matter. Shibusawa Tatsuhiko’s tone was casual. I never had any connection with the circus anyway. What Yunxi-kun does is his own business. However, I am somewhat curious.

Curious about what kind of existence Yunxi’s circus would ultimately become.]

Shibusawa Eiichi understood Shibusawa Tatsuhiko’s unspoken words.

Shibusawa Tatsuhiko didn’t comprehend how much change a circus could bring to this world, but he could sense that after this episode reached more viewers, organizations that neglected public welfare would likely face collective criticism.

Not a bad thing, so let it be.

[The host then asked Sigma.

Sigma answered honestly: I am Yunxi’s brother.

The host: So you support everything Yunxi-kun does? I understand now!

Sigma panicked: Wait, wait, wait! He felt dizzy!]

Nakahara Chuuya was currently on a business trip.

Reminded by Boss Mori to watch this episode, Nakahara Chuuya watched from his hotel room in a foreign country, commenting on various plot points throughout. When he saw the video on Yunxi’s phone, he got so excited he accidentally activated his special ability and broke the table.

But none of that stopped Nakahara Chuuya’s expression from gradually becoming complicated when he saw the segment of Yunxi and Sigma interacting.

He really likes… Yunxi.

Meanwhile, Verlaine’s expression gradually softened.

That’s right, as fellow beings, companionship is what we mean to each other.

He truly disliked Yunxi protecting ordinary people, but if Yunxi wasn’t being used by ordinary people and was instead receiving their gratitude in exchange for insignificant efforts, he didn’t mind.

If Yunxi was doing all this to create a better living environment for other weak companions, then Verlaine felt even more pleased.

[Yunxi and Sigma’s spinning was stopped by Gogol.

With a movement too fast to clearly see, Gogol lifted Sigma aside, then smilingly placed his hand on Yunxi’s waist. He turned to remind another person who hadn’t been interviewed yet: Mr. Laszlo?

Laszlo immediately responded: I absolutely support Master Yunxi’s ideas!

The mind-reading Esper immediately followed: I am Master Yunxi’s subordinate, so I will definitely support Master Yunxi’s ideas!

The host asked curiously: Master Yunxi instead of Circus Master Yunxi? This form of address… Does Mr. Yunxi have another identity?]

Director Taneeda: It’s fine. In our world, the Nameless Organization hasn’t been established yet.

Sakaguchi Ango relaxed.

[Indeed, the mind-reading Esper only said that Yunxi had taught them many things, so they were willing to call him Master Yunxi.

As for Laszlo…

Laszlo praised Yunxi extensively – how his physique was as sturdy as a double-door refrigerator, how he possessed strong shoulders worthy of everyone’s reliance, how his gaze was sharp and intimidating, how he walked with majestic authority…]

Kunikida: Who is he talking about?

Is this still Yunxi?

Dazai Osamu finally understood: No wonder Yunxi from the Nameless Organization’s Imperial Ancestral Temple in the other world was like that…

Because this was Laszlo’s aesthetic! Laszlo was truly a purebred eunuch!

The host’s expression gradually turned strange. He wanted to interrupt Laszlo’s incessant chatter, but suddenly, another voice spoke up.

Ahem. The newcomer seemed to be in poor health, coughing twice before saying, Yunxi-kun, I came to celebrate your circus’s first performance in Japan. But now… did I come at a bad time?

The barrage exploded with excitement over the new sickly handsome guy, but Dazai Osamu only became more listless: Ah… why is this rat also in Tokyo?

Kunikida: And appearing so openly in front of the camera!

The Russian Transcendent calmly stated: Because Fyodor-kun is now a hero who participated in saving the world, not just a mere Special ability criminal.

Kunikida still didn’t quite understand: But now no one has Special abilities anymore. Wouldn’t the [Demon] be afraid that Yunxi-kun might suddenly turn against him…

Especially since Yunxi’s face immediately darkened the moment he saw Fyodor.

Kunikida: !!!

See! It’s really dangerous!

But Yunxi did nothing. He just introduced to the host: This is my former superior, Fyodor. He’s someone who’s sometimes good, sometimes bad, with rather blurred moral boundaries, but can mostly be considered a good person…

Kunikida was speechless.

Meanwhile, many others watching this content were breaking down.

Nakahara Chuuya was frantic: That Clown is one thing… but he actually thinks the [Demon] is a good person?!

Sakaguchi Ango: Sometimes I wonder if I’ve actually left that Viewing Room!

Edogawa Ranpo was also dissatisfied, but he said: Even Yunxi-kun shouldn’t lie so blatantly! The [Demon] has always been using Yunxi-kun!

The [Demon] at most just let Yunxi-kun spend more time with the Clown while using him; provided some funding when Yunxi-kun was short on money; helped Yunxi-kun find Sigma-kun and protected Sigma-kun a bit; rarely commanded Yunxi-kun like he did with other subordinates in daily operations; and ultimately gave Yunxi-kun the superficial choice, ensuring Yunxi-kun’s gaming experience as a player…Edogawa Ranpo continued to speak incessantly, while the other members of the Armed Detective Agency gradually fell into silence.

Stop, stop talking! If this continues, we’ll also start thinking the [Demon] is a good person!

When facing us, the [Demon] is all cannons, cannons, and more cannons – why is it all sugar when facing Yunxi?!

Ahem! This Mr. Fyodor seems to be very kind and promising indeed!

However, speaking of which! Facing the stiff-faced Fyodor, the host forcibly brought the topic back, Since Mr. Fyodor came to celebrate Mr. Yunxi’s circus debut in Japan, does that mean the circus performance is about to begin?

Nakahara Chuuya quietly repeated: Kind and promising.

After saying this, Nakahara Chuuya laughed angrily at himself.

These two words… have nothing to do with Fyodor, right?

Yunxi spouting nonsense with his eyes wide open was one thing, but how could this host believe every word he said?!

Though come to think of it, how long was Yunxi’s circus planning to stay in Tokyo? If only he were in Japan right now, maybe he could meet Yunxi…

Yunxi rummaged through the gifts Fyodor brought like a hamster searching for his favorite things while counting the days: The circus premiere is tomorrow night, and tonight is the rehearsal.

The next show will probably be in about a week. We’ll see how it goes then. If nothing unexpected happens, we’ll leave Japan right after that performance. But if the Tokyo audience is particularly enthusiastic, I’ll decide to keep the circus here a bit longer.

After all, with so many people in the circus and so much equipment, moving around is quite troublesome. If the audience is willing to watch, everyone would definitely prefer to perform longer in the same place…

Yunxi unconsciously reached out to pat Gogol’s head, his tone softening considerably: Don’t worry, with so many other entertainment options available nowadays, it’s not Korya’s fault if audiences don’t come. I know Korya performs the best magic tricks!

Gogol looked at the host: Well…

The host smoothly picked up the conversation: One week later, you say? Our program will air in five days, so it should help bring some attention to the circus!

This episode of Can I Go Home With You? ended abruptly right there.

Nakahara Chuuya watched the barrage of comments like [Ahhhh! You want popularity? No problem!] and [Everyone! Get your phones! Buy tickets for the circus show!], finally feeling somewhat relieved.

Even without checking social media, Nakahara Chuuya could guess that after this episode aired, circus tickets would become extremely hard to get.

And these people’s goal was simple – to see Yunxi, and those good-looking guys around Yunxi.

It seemed he’d still be able to see Yunxi when he returned.

Meanwhile, in Russia, Dazai Osamu slowly, very slowly turned toward the Russian Transcendent beside him like a rusted machine.

You don’t mean…

Russian Transcendent: Well, judging by the online situation, Yunxi-kun’s circus will probably stay in Japan for quite some time.

They might even tour from Tokyo to Yokohama, since people from other parts of Japan seem to want to see Yunxi-kun too, she added.

Dazai Osamu: .

Russian Transcendent: Dazai-kun? Dazai-kun?

Kunikida adjusted his glasses expressionlessly: Don’t mind him. Could you please help us cancel our return flight tickets first?

Russia wasn’t so bad anyway – they could treat it as a vacation.

At least until Yunxi left Japan, he didn’t want to return to that Yokohama!

Elsewhere, Verlaine finally arrived at Yunxi’s circus in Tokyo.

Though he had lost his Special ability, the [King of Assassins]’ stealth skills were still beyond what ordinary guards could detect. Thus Verlaine smoothly made his way into the circus backstage and found Yunxi’s location.

Yunxi was talking with Sigma, while the Clown stood nearby, adjusting the costume he needed for the upcoming rehearsal.

Yunxi kept glancing at the Clown from time to time, and the Clown never missed an opportunity to preen like a peacock each time.

Many times the Clown’s movements were somewhat exaggerated, but Yunxi loved it. After watching the Clown for a while, Yunxi couldn’t help but laugh.

Then the Clown would laugh along, while Sigma showed an exasperated expression before secretly curling the corners of his lips as well.

Verlaine was momentarily dazed.

This scene seemed ordinary, yet it appeared to be exactly the kind of life he had imagined many times—the life he wanted to share with his brother.

For the first time, Verlaine began to ponder a question.

If he remembered correctly, Nakahara Chuuya had also expressed his fondness for Yunxi back in the Viewing Room.

So, if he brought Nakahara Chuuya along to join Yunxi’s circus…

Suddenly, the Clown took the initiative to step forward and planted a light, dragonfly-like kiss on Yunxi’s cheek.

Then, as Yunxi turned in surprise, the Clown directly pressed his lips against Yunxi’s.

This time, the Clown persisted for a long time. Even when Yunxi resisted, he didn’t let go. It wasn’t until Yunxi gave up that the Clown proceeded to slip his hand inside Yunxi’s shirt.

Sigma, not wanting to watch, slipped away midway, while Verlaine resumed his expressionless demeanor.

Then, Verlaine’s fist tightened.

He feared that one day he might lose control and truly slice this Clown, who had deceived Yunxi, into pieces!

Author’s Note: The next chapter is Chapter 29 of the main story, the if scenario where Shakespeare mentioned Yunxi joining the [Clock Tower Attendant]!

It won’t be very long, and after that, it’s the bonus side story!

[Cat Paw] Masters, if you have any bonus side stories you’d like to see, you can make requests in the comments section! Tentatively, it’s a crossover side story and the if scenario of [Identity Plate: Beauty with Reason]!

PS: [Identity Plate: Beauty with Reason] was written by Gu when seeing that the nutrient solutions weren’t fully repaid yet. Updates might be a bit slower since there’s another story being updated next door [pitiful].

Everyone has poured in so many nutrient solutions that Gu really can’t repay them all, but Gu still wants [empty bowl] (you, this Gu) (pointing fingers), anyway, thank you all for your support!
