Death: Captain Millennium

Chapter 225 The Development of the Association

Tetsuzaemon's already resolute face now looked a little distorted because of pride. He couldn't help but recall the regrettable years in the past.

The Male Death God Association during that period was a miserable existence. Its staff was dwindling to a handful, its funding was extremely stretched, and it didn't even have a stable gathering place.

Every time they want to hold an event or discuss matters, they can only look for a suitable place like headless flies, but they are often ruthlessly rejected and driven away.

What made them feel even more embarrassed was that those arrogant female members of the Death God Association always made things difficult for them, chasing them away everywhere like a group of miserable stray dogs.

In desperation, they had no choice but to choose the smelly and dirty men's restroom as a temporary gathering place.

Whenever he thought of this humiliating history, Tetsuzaemon's heart was filled with bitterness and helplessness. It was truly a tearful mess!

However, as the saying goes, "When you are at the end of your rope, you will find another way out." At this critical moment of life and death, Lin Yu's strong return brought a glimmer of hope to this organization on the verge of collapse.

After his return, the membership of the Male Death God Association unexpectedly experienced explosive growth. Furthermore, some of the more affluent Death Gods with a little savings generously donated money, unhesitatingly lending a helping hand to this once shaky organization, offering financial support and assistance.

With everyone's concerted efforts, the Men's Death God Association has now completely gotten rid of its past difficulties and ushered in its own spring. Everything is slowly getting back on track and developing in a better and better direction.

"Captain! I...I have a request. Could you grant it?"

I saw that Tiezaemon, who had been intoxicated for a long time, suddenly became serious and made a request to Lin Yu very solemnly. This sudden situation really confused Lin Yu, and he was a little at a loss for a while.

“You…just tell me!”

After a long while, Lin Yu finally came to his senses and stammered a response. He couldn't help but wonder, "Is this guy trying to get me to stand up for the association?" Just thinking about it made Lin Yu shudder. The scene was truly too chilling. He subconsciously shook his head vigorously, trying to get rid of this terrifying thought.

"It's like this, Captain. I'd like to use your teahouse as our association's daily meeting place. What do you think? I hope you can approve my request!"

"Please rest assured, Captain. I will strictly control every member of the association and will definitely not disturb your normal life and work."

Tiezaemon looked at Lin Yu expectantly, his eyes full of earnestness. As if worried that Lin Yu would refuse, he quickly added another sentence.

"call!"

"So it's just such a small matter! No problem, Tetsuzaemon, just take care of it."

Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief, the weight of his heart finally falling to the ground. He narrowed his eyes slightly, a relaxed smile on his face. As long as it wasn't about soliciting people from the platform, he would still support such a small thing.

Hearing Lin Yu's straightforward agreement, Tetsuzaemon couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Ohmaeda, standing beside him, was even more excited, his chubby body trembling with excitement.

"Woooooooo..."

"Captain Lin Yu! You're so kind! We've been worried about not being able to find a fixed place to carry out activities. This has finally solved our big problem!"

Omaeda couldn't help sobbing. He wiped his tears with his chubby hands and said words of thanks with a choked voice.

"Don't say that. As fellow male Shinigami, it's only natural for us to help each other. Besides, it's just a small matter."

Looking at Omaeda's grateful expression, Lin Yu smiled and patted his shoulder.

At this moment, Omaeda was completely immersed in deep emotion, his inner emotions surging like a tide, so much so that tears welled up in his eyes uncontrollably. He excitedly held Lin Yu's hands tightly, with such strength that he seemed to want to convey all his gratitude to the other person through these tightly clasped hands.

His eyes were full of earnestness and dependence, as if if he loosened his grip even a little, the person who had given them such great help would instantly disappear, and the hope and warmth he had felt before would also vanish into thin air.

At the same time, President Tetsuzaemon, who was standing nearby, witnessed this touching scene and couldn't help but smile with relief on his face.

He knew that successfully finding a suitable gathering place was a crucial step for the entire association.

At this moment, he was not satisfied with this, and was secretly wondering whether he should seize this rare opportunity to go further.

As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot. When Tetsuzaemon saw that things were going so smoothly, the desire for more in his heart became stronger.

"Captain! I have another request."

So, after a brief hesitation, he finally plucked up the courage to speak.

When Lin Yu heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he secretly complained in his heart. He knew Tetsuzaemon too well. Every time he saw his hesitant expression, he knew that he was not holding back his words.

"Since it's an unreasonable request? Then don't mention it!"

Before Tetsuzaemon could finish his words, Lin Yu interrupted him rudely in a firm tone, indicating that there was no room for negotiation.

"This...this..."

Tetsuzaemon obviously did not expect Lin Yu to reject him so decisively. He stood there in a daze for a moment, unable to utter a word for a long time.

After a long while, he stammered and tried to explain, but facing Lin Yu's sharp gaze, all the words he had prepared were stuck in his throat and he couldn't spit them out.

After taking a few deep breaths, Tetsuzaemon's emotions gradually calmed down. He began to think to himself, "What a mistake! Things like this should be handled gradually and steadily. Trying to achieve everything in one go is unrealistic." It seems I should wait for another opportunity, bringing it up again when the captain is in a better mood.

"Captain Lin Yu! Could you please sign for me?"

The originally somewhat deserted atmosphere was broken by Omaeda's shout, and he hurriedly handed the portrait to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu took the somewhat abstract portrait and was in a dilemma for a moment, not knowing whether he should sign his name.

After a long period of contemplation and inner struggle, Lin Yu finally made up his mind. He gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and quickly signed his name on the scroll. Then, as if he had been electrocuted, he stuffed the scroll back into Omaeda's hands, his movements as fast as lightning, as if he was afraid to stay there for even a second longer.
