After a touching moment where I let out tears of genuine happiness, I was able to continue my conversation with Mr. Ichijo.
"Luis, to begin with, I'll have to explain some things to you" - Mr. Ichijo smiled at me. – "The reason why I have supported you so much is not only because I would have felt sorry for your situation, to tell the truth, I heard about you since you were in the United States, so when I heard about your arrival in Japan, I did not hesitate to look for you"
…Is this just another shit caused by being a protagonist?
"Surely you must think it sounds absurd, but think of it this way" - Mr. Ichijo smiled wryly. – "A teenager without any kind of supernatural background or military training was able to embarrass the largest criminal organization in the Americas while he protected his family…"
"A boy who from the age of 5 fed his family, at the age of 10 he faced drug gangs to protect his mother and sister, at the age of 12 he murdered two executives of one of the largest criminal organizations in the world, La Beehive, and finally, at the age of 14, he not only avoided the persecution of The Beehive, he even managed to escape to Japan with his family, at the age of 15 he was able to join the local mafia, at the age of 16 he showed talent in missions that would have been a suicide even for elite squads, and at the age of 17 he not only became the best assassin in the yakuza, but he became the hero from another world…"
"Given a history like this, how can I not value your effort and talent?" – Mr. Ichijo smiled with appreciation like a father congratulating his son, which actually displeases me.
My shitty life could be a trilogy of action movies, I really fit into the protagonist role, although really he is giving me too much credit for most of those 'feats' I didn't do by myself I got help from a few people and in some cases, I didn't do anything, I just watched while the idiots killed each other after I manipulated their families and friends...
"… Wow" – Tsubaki couldn't help but sigh with admiration. – "Although I already knew most of these things, hearing it from someone else is surprising"
It is not so surprising, all those problems brought a great load to my body and if it had not been for the system, my life expectancy would only have allowed me to live until I was 25 years old due to a large number of accumulated injuries.
Two liver transplants, I lost four meters of intestines, nine femur and humerus bone reconstructions, a stomach transplant, two cardiopulmonary resuscitation surgeries, a cornea transplant...
In fact, I don't usually mention these things because, well, it doesn't really matter. Most of my internal wounds were healed by Akisame and Kensei in the first days that I started to train martial arts, besides, I didn't pay much attention to my health since, despite my survival instincts, my low attachment to life was obvious in my self-destructive actions.
Living like a leading man in an action movie leaves sequels and if it wasn't for the fact that I know an excellent unlicensed doctor then I would have died years ago, even though that shitty doctor gave me free treatment in exchange for using me as a lab rat in his experimental surgeries. He's on my list of idiots to beat up, but since he saved my life a few times I'll just beat him up a bit.
"Sir, I think you overestimate my abilities" - I smiled wryly.
"On the contrary, I think you underestimate yourself" - Mr. Ichijo smiled. – "Luis, you know how the yakuza works, you are discreet when dealing with problems, you do not abuse your position in the yakuza, you prioritize your family and even Raku treats you like an older brother, you are perfect to inherit my position"
In my original life plan, I thought that all the stupid missions were to become a trusted subordinate to Raku and he would be assigned as the leader of the yakuza.
It didn't bother me since as soon as my sister was of legal age, I would leave Japan to go to a place far from the world where I would live my last years of life in peaceful solitude.
Now it's different, I can already say that I have ambitions, goals and I even found a real reason to live, my harem.
If I become the leader of the yakuza things will become troublesome, but at the same time, it will be useful, and in case Beast VII really comes to this world, I must gather the women of this world who have come to interest me to transfer them to another world while this place perishes.
I showed a conflicted expression. – "What about Raku? Will he agree to me taking command of the clan?"
Even though Raku is an idiot, I've been taking care of him for so long that I don't hate him at all so if possible I'll leave him somewhere quiet so he can have a peaceful life like Kenichi.
"We both know that Raku will be more than happy to give you the responsibility of the clan" – Mr. Ichijo smiled bitterly.
It must not be easy for the mob boss that his only son only wants to make cakes.
"But is it really okay for an unknown person like me to be the new leader of the mafia?" – I asked showing concern for the future of this organization.
"Raku is not suitable for this position, he would be killed in his first year as a leader" - Mr. Ichijo sighed. – "Besides, he does not know about the supernatural world and I hope that it can remain that way"
"He doesn't know?" – I asked with surprise even though I already knew.
"I think the guardian deity has already explained to you about the 'Attraction Phenomenon' that protects normal humans" – Mr. Ichijo showed great respect when talking about the fox-eared brat. – "The less a person knows about the supernatural, the lower the probability that said person knows a supernatural entity, that is why I have tried so that Raku would never be interested in supernatural entities or superstitions to the point of becoming more skeptical than the rest most teenagers his age"
I see, this can be summed up as 'Ignorance is bliss'.
I pity the idiots who can see ghosts but don't know they can turn to the yakuza for help.
"I understand, then I will do everything possible to keep Raku safe" - I nodded showing a kind smile worthy of a reliable older brother willing to protect his younger brother.
Ever since I joined the yakuza I never felt any hostility towards Raku as I was not interested in the authority of the Ichijo family so even if lie-seeing abilities were used before my system activated, no one must have seen me as a threat.
"Oh, just one more thing" – Mr. Ichijo smiled wryly giving me a premonition of what he is going to say.
It's a known fact that two of the identities I use in the yakuza are womanizing men, so it wouldn't be strange if Mr. Ichijo asked me to limit my troublesome acts.
Mr. Ichijo sighed. – "You will have to form a real harem"
…
I give up.
This shit is so convenient it's not even funny.
I stared blankly. - "Sorry? I think I misheard."
"Luis, you can no longer randomly sleep with women, and while I know many of those one-night stands were for information gathering, you will have to give up the life of debauchery and now you will have to leave the life of debauchery and now you will have to leave the life of debauchery and now you must take responsibility for each woman with whom you have a romantic relationship." – Mr. Ichijo looked at me seriously as if what he was saying made sense and wasn't complete stupidity.
I massaged my forehead. – "Yes, I am definitely mishearing…"
"Luis, this is not the time to joke" - Mr. Ichijo sighed. – "I am already an old man so I don't want to have to repeat things…"
Don't fuck with me that you're old!
You dye your hair to make your enemies think you're an old man, but your vitality is superior to bloody Hayato!
Damn old people who try to use age as an excuse for everything...
I sighed. – "Why a harem?"
"You do not like the idea?" – Mr. Ichijo smiled.
"I never said that" - I answered blankly.
"Well, you're a good boy hahahaha!" – Mr. Ichijo let out a few laughs and then became serious showing that bipolarity is something normal in people with authority. – "The problem is great, currently Japan is divided not only in the human world, but there is also a great division in the supernatural world since there are many groups that want to be kings of their own kingdoms, which has made Japan weak compared to other countries"
Shit, I don't want to get into politics.
"To make a strong nation, first you have to unite the different families and organizations that inhabit Japan or foreign forces will begin to expand in our territory" - Mr. Ichijo sighed with concern. – "For example, Beehive Gang has begun to approach us to establish an alliance…"
I smiled bitterly, this is bad.
"Don't worry" - Mr. Ichijo smiled. – "I will pay your debt, besides, when you are a representative of the Ichijo family, past grudges between you and Beehive Gang will be a thing of the past"
I doubt it.
Before escaping the US I burned down a meth lab, lopped off the heads of two top brass, and poisoned 300 Bee Hive Gang staff.
If those assholes can forgive me after that then they're not human but the living representation of the concept 'stupidity'.
Ah, whatever, then I'll figure out how to kill them.
"If you say it's okay then I'll think things will work out" - I sighed.
"It's not like we have many options" – Mr. Ichijo smiled bitterly. – "For a few years the political situation in the world has been getting worse, the number of foreign entities seeking refuge in this world has increased and this has unbalanced the balance of political power because the more developed the supernatural side of a country is, the greater they will be the resources that the country can take advantage of"
That is certainly a problem.
It is as if each foreign entity is a mine of rare minerals. The greater the quality and quantity of minerals that a country can extract, the greater the national wealth, which also means greater national power.
"I understand that" - I nodded. – "What I do not understand is what my love life has to do with this"
"It's simple" - Mr. Ichijo smiled wryly. – "Among the young generations of important families, there seems to be a decrease in male heirs while female heirs have increased… I do not think it is necessary to give more explanations"
Great, now I'm a fucking political bargaining chip in stallion form...
I can already hear Navi fainting from laughter at this.
"To tell the truth, this is something I've been thinking about for several years" – Mr. Ichijo smiled bitterly. – "But as you know, Raku still lives in an idealized fantasy of a childhood sweetheart, he is not cut out to have a harem…"
"And that's where I come into the picture as a womanizer" - I sighed.
"Exactly, you have a gift for these matters" – Mr. Ichijo did not even deny that I am the best candidate to inherit the yakuza due to my talent as a womanizer.
First Beast VII wants to use me as a trojan horse and now it turns out that I will also be a gigolo for high-class ladies…
My life is strange.
"This is a bit strange" - I sighed.
"But you still will, right?" – Mr. Ichijo smiled.
"Well, work is work" - I smiled wryly.
"No, I don't want you to see this as a job" – Mr. Ichijo looked at me seriously. – "Even if you do not get to love the women with whom you will have to relate, I hope that you can at least treat them well"
So far my harem is happy so I don't see the problem.
"I understand, I will" - I nodded.
Mr. Ichijo smiled and then pointed at my hand. – "Extend your hand with the palm down"
I reached out and connected my hand to the soul supply in Ortro's stomach. If Mr. Ichijo tries to put me under a contract or an oath, I will divert that contract to the souls in Ortro's stomach.
This is a little trick I developed with my skill [Contract] and the title [Stingy Jack]. Although this way I won't be able to claim my rewards if the other entity breaks the contract, at least this way I won't be put under some shitty restriction.
Mr. Ichijo took out a small knife and then opened a cut on his index finger. Using his own finger like a pen, Mr. Ichijo began drawing the kanji for authority on the back of my hand.
[System Notification: The user has received the title 'Administrator of Japan'. This title grants an 'Authority' that will only be valid in the Japan area of the Gaia world. This 'Authority' cannot suppress the 'Authority' of another 'Territory Administrator'.
Allow the title 'Administrator of Japan' to be transferred to the soul supply?
YES/NO]
[NO]
I accepted authority for myself.
[Administrator of Japan: My house, my rules!
A fragment of the 'Authority' of the 'Will of the World'. This 'Authority' gives the user limited control of Gaia's 'Laws' and 'Restrictions' in the geographic space marked 'Japan'.
The title grants five authorities:
1) Order: The user can impose rules and restrictions on non-human supernatural entities.
2) Punishment: The user can request a judgment against a non-human supernatural entity when the user deems an entity to be harmful to the territory.
3) Supervision: The user can detect the arrival of supernatural entities that have not been registered in the territory.
4) Management: The user can increase or decrease the number of resources allocated to non-human supernatural entities in the territory.
5) Discussion: In the event that two 'Administrators' have a conflict, the Will of the World will send a mediator and the cause of the conflict will be punished according to the magnitude of the problem.
6) Warning: The title cannot be used against normal humans or the Will of the World will give a punishment.
7) Warning: In order not to lose the title, the user must make a report every time one of the authorities is used]
Oh, this is new, System Goddess didn't know about this.
"This is one of the most important pillars of the Ichijo family" - Mr. Ichijo looked at me seriously. – "It is an authority over the territory of Japan…"
Mr. Ichijo started to explain to me what the authority does since normally one would have to read a manual to understand this, but the system makes it easy to understand skills and titles so I didn't pay much attention and started to study the title on my own.
Although the title was very useful, there was something that annoyed me.
In this world, there are gods, youkai, divine foxes, and beings from fantasy tales, but despite that, this authority made something clear to me, the Will of the World of this world is racist against non-human species.
This will be a problem, there are non-human women in my harem and I'm sure I'll continue to meet non-human women on my travels.
Seems like it's best not to let my harem come into this world, I don't want to be in a situation where another admin wants to kill one of my wives just because she's not human, that would really make me mad.
When Mr. Ichijo finished explaining how to use this 'Authority', I thought it was a good time to go home and have a 'civil talk' with my father.
"By the way, boy" – Mr. Ichijo seemed to want to tell me something important. – "I hope you keep your identity as Luis intact since it is always good to have an identity as a normal citizen, but your other identity will be the one with the surname Ichijo"
"Ichijo Seiji? I see, it's fine" – I nodded and then showed concern. – "But my identity as Seiji does not have much history in the yakuza and is even being investigated by the police as one of the suspects of being 'Kuro' "
Luis Santos is my basic identity, a poor teenager who does all kinds of cheap jobs in order to earn some money to feed his family.
Seiji Yamada (Now Seiji Ichijo), a 20-year-old Japanese man with a friendly demeanor as long as you are not an enemy. He is my most important identity, the one in charge of supervising the poorest and most disorderly district of the city, in addition to the fact that with this identity it is that I do most of the errands that Mr. Ichijo gives me.
Kuro, my third and final identity. A yakuza assassin whose real identity is unknown to anyone, but he has been responsible for the murder of at least 300 people in the last two years.
Even though most of those 300 people were criminals, the police are nervous about a psychopath running free in Japan even if it's one of the yakuza dogs, there's even a reward for information on my identity.
Of those three identities, being Luis I have many women who look for me because, well, sometimes I need to deal with stress and I made the mistake of ignoring the sacred words, 'Don't stick your penis in a crazy woman'.
Some of those women I like, but I did not formalize a relationship due to various situations, other women are just women who I wanted to have fun with for one night, but somehow they fell in love with me.
In my identity as Seiji, I have something like a harem, but the truth is that they are all women that I used as a shield for emergencies.
Since being a member of the yakuza makes a lot of enemies, I was worried that someone would find out my identity and want to kill my family so I surrounded myself with 'bait'. If an enemy wants to harm me, he will first kill my lovers which will give me time to hide my family.
Now that I am forming a royal harem, I can no longer use those women as bait so now I have to search for them and give them a safe place to live… Forming a harem is troublesome.
Now that I think about it, since I got the system I became apathetic towards human life which has made me indifferent towards life in general, but at the same time, I am more attached to love relationships which has made me soft.
love is troublesome...
I sighed. – "Sir, if I am really going to form a harem, I will have to include the women around me, and, well…"
Mr. Ichijo smiled wryly. - "There are many?"
"Yes" - I nodded.
"How many women are there?" - He asked.
"Yes" - I nodded.
"…" – Mr. Ichijo sighed. – "I see, I will give you some safe properties where you can take care of your women, my personal recommendation is that you do not have all your women in one place or things will become chaotic"
I heard that Mr. Ichijo was a womanizer when he was young until he met Raku's mother, he was so in love with her that even when she passed away, he didn't want to have a love partner again and I even heard rumors that he hasn't come back to be with a woman after the death of his wife.
"I understand" – I nodded, I already have experience with a harem and I know that I can't put several crazy and jealous women in one house or it would start a bloodbath in a literal sense.
"With all said, some time ago I prepared a new disguise that will help you change your identity to Seiji's without the risk of magical entities discovering that it is a disguise" - Mr. Ichijo smiled and took a briefcase out of nowhere. – "Go try it on"
Damn it, now everyone has space artifacts except me.
I forgot my jealousy and looked at the briefcase having a bad feeling. – "Do I need to use it right now?"
"Yes" – Mr. Ichijo's smile grew.
"Why?" – My skill [Paranoia] is giving me a bad feeling…
Mr. Ichijo seemed to want to laugh out loud. – "I will introduce you to your fiancée"
…This damn man…
Whatever.
This can't be that bad...
[System Notification: The skill 'Paranoia' feels that this will be troublesome]
