Cyberpunk: 2075

"I told you before that the relationship between the two of them is not just ordinary friends. Now look at it, they are holding hands."

Walking on the deck of the Kujira, Oliver quietly walked next to Jack and V and said: "That guy Carl also said that he and the eldest lady of Arasaka are just friends. I think this friend is almost gone."

"Aren't boyfriends and girlfriends friends?"

Jack lowered his voice so as not to attract the attention of Kenichi Shiro, who was walking in front of him: "Keep your voice down, it's hard to talk about this kind of thing. Didn't you see that Kenichi Shiro is staring at it? I think it's still very unsettling.'

"I think Karl may have very ordinary ideas, and maybe he really thinks this is something done between friends."

V said: "But this is also the first time I've seen Carl treat women like this. It's really hard to imagine that Carl, who always thinks about bringing food back to us when we go out on a date, would actually hold someone's hand. It seems like How amazing.”

"You said that if they become successful, wouldn't things change a little?"

Oliver said: "Then are we going to really become Arasaka's company dogs?"

"That's probably not the case. Maybe we have to work as bodyguards for the Dangerous Girls Agency, and work as bodyguards for those beautiful girls with cat ears."

Jack shrugged his shoulders: "After all, this eldest lady is also the young boss of a dangerous girl."

"Let's see. Anyway, even if something does happen, we won't be the ones who have the headache first."

As several people chatted quietly, they crossed the deck and arrived at the cabin that was originally used for sailors to rest.

Over there, a man sitting sideways on a chair was waiting for them.

The man was wearing an open coat, in which the inner shirt could be seen. His posture seemed relaxed, with one hand on the armrest of the chair and the other hand adjusting his collar. Everyone heard At the sound of arrival, he put down the hand that had finished adjusting his collar.

Right over the body.

The man has short black hair, clear facial contours, and a somewhat serious expression. His eyebrows are thick, his eyes are bright, his nose is straight, his lips are tightly closed, and his jaw line is clear. The overall appearance gives people a very determined feeling.

If we want to talk about Karl's first impression of this person, it is that although this person looks very old from the appearance of his skin, he looks very energetic. He looks like a ball of fire, burning at any time. It's like a wildfire.

Strange feeling.

He didn't know why he had such an impression on this person, but Karl already knew his identity.

Needless to say, there is only one person in the entire super aircraft carrier who can easily sit in this lounge and wait for everyone as a master.

Nobu Arasaka.

It's better to meet than to be famous. This rebel, who has been described as a dandy in various news and publicity, who doesn't understand his father's hard work but still resists his father, seems to Carl to be more irritating than the Arasaka Saburo he has seen in the video. People like it a lot, at least this person looks very energetic.

Nobu Arasaka looked at the arrival of several people and was about to say something, but his eyes inadvertently caught sight of a scene.

He saw his great-niece Haruko Arasaka holding hands with a young man with black hair.

"Um?

Even Nobu Arasaka, who has become accustomed to all kinds of things in the world and has lived to this age, was slightly stunned when he saw this scene.

He didn't seem to have heard that Haruko found her other half?

Could it be that Haruko, like her mother, ignored the family and fell in love freely on her own?

When Nobu Arasaka was thinking, Carl noticed Nobu Arasaka's gaze. He also realized that it was not good to continue holding hands in front of the elder Haruko, so he took the initiative to let go.

He has brought people to the forefront.

After Karl let go of his hand, Haruko walked towards Nobu Arasaka.

"Uncle, long time no see."

Haruko was so happy that she opened her hands. When seeing Haruko Arasaka coming over, Nobu Arasaka's face also showed a hint of gentleness. He also gently opened his hands and hugged his grandniece who had watched him grow up, and then After letting go of his hand, he looked carefully at the current Haruko:

"You have grown up a lot, Haruko. Can you get used to living in Night City now?"

‘It’s not bad, I’ve probably gotten used to it a little bit, and I feel much happier than when I was in Kyoto. "

"Is it much happier than in Kyoto..."

Listening to Haruko Arasaka's words, Nobu Arasaka didn't know what he was thinking of. His expression dimmed slightly, and then he shook his head: "It's really boring in that house."

After chatting with Haruko for a few words, Nobu Arasaka looked at Kenichi Shiro: "We haven't seen each other for a long time, director Kenichi. "Yes..."

Kenichi Shiro's attitude towards Nobu Arasaka was not as close as that of Haruko Arasaka. After considering his words for a moment, he continued to speak: "Your Excellency Nobu Nobu Arasaka."

The attitude between Nobu Arasaka and Kenichi Shiro was a bit subtle. The two had a completely business-like attitude, and this attitude changed when Nobu Arasaka looked at Carl.

Looking at this young man who looked more and more familiar, Nobu Arasaka recalled the information about this person in his mind, so he tried to call him: "KK?"

"Just call me Carl."

Karl was always polite to his friends' elders, just like when facing Mrs. Wells, Karl directly reported his real name.

Carl...

Arasakase Nobu nodded slightly: "I have heard of your name."

After a pause, Arasakase Nobu looked at Haruko and turned his head again, looking at Carl and said seriously: "You did a good job protecting Haruko before."

It would have been fine if he didn't say this. As soon as he said this, Kenichi Shiro's eyes became serious, and Carl, feeling the gaze beside him, thought for a moment and immediately understood.

The attack on Haruko was done by people inside the military technology and the hawks in Arasaka, and the leader of the hawks...

But it was Arasakase Nobu in front of him.

What did he mean by saying this?

This is Kenichi Shiro's idea, and Carl, who didn't speculate on every word of Arasakase Nobu like him, but felt good about Arasakase Nobu because of his first impression when they met, heard the sincerity of this sentence.

Arasakase Nobu didn't lie about this sentence.

This is strange.

"A hawkish leader, when his subordinates fail, he still praises the culprit who caused their failure?'

Although he didn't understand, Carl chose to accept the compliment.

"As long as it's work, I've done a good job."
