hat and bandage

... The unscrupulous senior Osamu Dazai finally instigated the poor and helpless junior Atsushi Nakajima to move the Tanizaki brothers and sisters back to the detective agency.

Naomi was shot several times and lost too much blood and was close to death. She was rescued directly by Yosano Akiko's ability. Mr. Tanizaki was a little worse. His injuries were lighter than Naomi's and did not meet the activation conditions of Yosano's ability. Suddenly, the exclusive doctor of the detective agency used a hatchet to aggravate the injury before activating the supernatural power to heal it.

Well, let alone the screams.

All in all, the fact that Dun was offered a reward of 70 billion by the black market surprised the seniors of the detective agency. After all, he was just an orphan in the past. After observing it for a while, there was nothing special about him. He was suddenly offered a huge reward of 70 billion, even Being hunted down by the port mafia is truly a jaw-dropping event.

"Dun, did you offend someone?"

Nakajima Atsushi and Ms. Yosano, who healed his injuries independently by his ability to regenerate, sneaked into the office with a look of joy under the pityful eyes of Ms. Xie Ye.

Inside, after finishing the report, Kunikida Doppo had an irritable expression on his face. He looked up and happened to see Nakajima sneaking in. He couldn't help but pushed his glasses and asked.

"Huh? I don't have that kind of memory..."

Atsushi Nakajima thought for a while at a loss, and couldn't help but bowed weakly and said, "I'm really sorry for causing you trouble."

"It's good to know the trouble, hmph, forget it..."

Kunikida sighed. After all, the brat in front of him is also their colleague who has worked together for a month. He has long regarded him as a member, and he couldn't help telling: "Be careful recently. As far as I know, the port mafia can It's not that easy to give up."

"You're lucky this time, Dazai rushed over in time, but I didn't expect that the evil dog of the port mafia to retreat so easily."

"There shouldn't be any additional conspiracy...?"

Kunikida frowned and muttered to himself.

Atsushi Nakajima subconsciously glanced at Dazai.

At that time, Akutagawa, that dangerous man who was covered only in black and white, only the figure of Osamu Dazai was clearly imprinted in his dark eyes.

It's as if facing a person who must be taken seriously is different from being treated as a commodity by the other party.

And that conversation...

Although because of the serious injury, he couldn't hear clearly.

But with the familiarity of talking like that, neither of them seemed like they were meeting for the first time.

Mr. Dazai...is he a man of some sort?

Out of his trust in the man who saved himself from a vagabond career, Nakajima Atsushi didn't immediately associate Dazai with the mafia.

But having said that, according to Dazai's usual heartless performance, Atsushi Ren Nakajima couldn't guess this guy's past identity even if he tried his best.

"70 billion...that's really a huge amount of money." Dazai lay on the sofa, tapped the screen with his mobile phone, as if he had noticed Dun's gaze, and said casually without raising his head: "If it's just An ordinary tiger, I might not be able to resist getting involved."

"Then use that wallet to support the little guy, and let Chuya resign immediately and come back from Shizuoka."

"Huh?" Atsushi Nakajima froze, his eyes widened, and he swished away from Dazai as if his hair was going to explode.

"Wake up."

Kunikida glanced at him indifferently, "You basically rely on Central Plains' bandage waste device for food, drink and shelter, just talk about it in your sleep at night."

Who to take care of?Central Plains?

Kunikida Doppo, who was forced to partner with Dazai Osamu during Nakahara's absence: Heh.

"This is my second dream." Osamu Dazai paused slightly while tapping the phone screen, turned his head and said with a smile.

"Second dream?"

Atsushi Nakajima blinked his special pair of purple-gold eyes, and asked the question he regretted the most afterwards:

"Then what is your first dream?"

Osamu Dazai propped himself up from the sofa, and looked at Nakajima with shining eyes: "Of course it's—"

"——He died in love with Chuya!"

Dun: "...?"

Dun: "Huh...?"

"Death is the most beautiful flower in life. In order to pursue that kind of beauty, I have tried all the most comfortable and painless methods in complete sexual intercourse!"

Dun: "...???"

"But it's always not going well...Why do people always come to save me? Could it be that I need someone to save me so much? Alas, let's not mention those sad things for the time being. In short, I finally came to my senses and committed suicide. It is still the most brilliant to die for love... This is the ultimate dream of my life!"

"Even Zhongye always refuses to agree to me. It's a pity. I can't reluctantly choose to leave alone. If Zhongye is still alive, if he is abducted by other bad men or women, I may be so angry that I will fall from the coffin." climb out."

"Chuya was with other people or something, even thinking about it, I can't die with peace of mind, so I still have to continue to work hard to persuade the little dwarf to die in love with me—"

Or live vigorously with Zhongya.

Osamu Dazai covered his face happily and talked endlessly about his idea of ​​dying for love. Kunikida, who couldn't listen to it, slammed his face in the file coldly, interrupting the only sentence with vitality that he hadn't finished speaking.

Mr. Nakaya, whom I have never met before, thank you for your hard work.

Atsushi Nakajima didn't know why, and sympathy and admiration for the senior he hadn't met suddenly rose in his heart.

"By the way, Atsushi." Dazai, who was slapped with paper by his temporary partner, slowly put away the archive paper on his face, with a gentle smile, and his iris-colored eyes were like the softest honey in the dusk , "Let's learn how to use different abilities with everyone during this time."

"Akutagawa won't give up. Next time, I'm afraid it will be another fierce battle."

"...Hmm." Recalling Akutagawa Ryunosuke's indifferent eyes and the terrifying black beast [Rashomon], Dun Leng shuddered, feeling a dull pain from the healed wound on his body.

"How could I have won..."

"That's not necessarily true. After all, as long as that guy loses his ability, he can't do anything." Dazai tilted his head, took out his phone and scanned the page, and suddenly saw something. He paused slightly, but the expression on his face remained the same. .

He still used a brisk tone to throw out the weakness of his ex-disciple: "Let the other party have no time to activate the ability, get close to him and give him a heavy blow that can knock him into the air, and that guy Akutagawa will fail. Who made him so weak physically? .”

Nakajima Atsushi recalled the other party's too slender figure in a trance.

Morbidly pale, with an unhealthy complexion.

Indeed, the other party doesn't look like a person with a strong body.

It's just... How did Mr. Dazai know?

"It's not easy to get close to him." Kunikida pushed his glasses, "Do you think that everyone has the same ability to nullify as you? The power to seriously injure one blow is not something everyone can have."

"Speaking of which, how on earth do you know so clearly?"

"Could it be that when did you and Zhongyuan meet each other?... Then it's no wonder. With your supernatural power and Zhongyuan's force, Akutagawa really can't resist."

Detective agency personnel are free to move, as long as they complete their own commissions and tasks, it doesn't matter how they arrange the rest of their time, so everyone's experience may not be known to others.

For Atsushi, encountering the nightmarish port mafia dog is a serious crisis, but for Dazai, it may be a trivial matter.

Kunikida, who thought his thinking was very reasonable, nodded: "However, since you know the weakness, it's easier to handle, and your ability can just restrain Akutagawa, so you and Atsushi will form a team during this period..."

"Well, Kunikida-san...?"

Dun stretched out his hand in a daze and interrupted the blond man's arrangement, "Mr. Dazai has been missing since just now."

"Huh? Dazai... Tch, the bastard runs really fast."

The sofa where the black-haired man was lying comfortably was already empty at this time, only the slightly sunken sofa surface and the lingering warmth could prove that the other party stayed there.

A note was taped to the surface of the sofa.

[I went to comfort my poor, helpless and frightened little slug, the return date is uncertain~]

ha?What's the meaning?

Kunikida picked up the note in a daze, poor and helpless and frightened?Who said it?Definitely not the Central Plains, right?

He returned to his desk in a daze, and searched for Xiongying's information online.

——The event of the Heroic High School being invaded by the enemy dominated the headlines.

Looks like a big deal.

But after seeing that no one on our side was injured, and even captured almost all the enemies.

Kunikida's forehead burst out with blue veins:

"...You fucking want to skip work, Dazai—!!"

……

Then.

Osamu Dazai put his hands in the pockets of the sand-colored windbreaker, and took nothing but tens of thousands of yen in cash and Chuya's card. He hummed a little tune and got on the last train from Yokohama to Shizuoka today. main line.

"Ah, the brain capacity of slugs is really only a little bit big."

Dazai smiled happily, his eyes crooked, and he kept clicking on something on the phone screen.

"...Even if you take care to avoid sharing pictures of yourself, there will always be fish that slip through, idiot."

Under Chuya Nakahara's deliberate handling, outside news reports in Shizuoka did not publish the photo of the orange-haired youth, nor even his name.

To avoid attracting the attention of the Port Mafia.

Unlike Dazai who has been abandoned, the port mafia is still searching for former executives.

To be honest, being able to hide the Yokohama Night King for such a long time under the nose is already very unbelievable to Nakaya.

But even so, Dazai still found out a photo that was secretly taken at the gate of USJ through some means.

The orange-haired young man in a suit and vest outlined his perfect figure with his coat hanging in his hand, talking to a man with sloppy black hair.

——My middle one is still so pretty.

It's been a long time since I saw the little man wearing that shameful suit. It must be to make himself look more mature. After all, Zhongya's face that looks like a minor in normal clothes is really hard to convince people.

Osamu Dazai glanced at Chuya's waist and legs in that photo several times with a smile.

...the waist is super thin.

So the shorty's suit is super shameful.

Dazai decisively hacked the original photo completely, kept a copy for himself, and then tried to use various software to delete the black-haired sloppy man next to Nakaya.

——The professional hero Aizawa Shouta whose [personality] was eliminated.

Dazai muttered while mercilessly operating:

"Eliminated personalities can't affect abilities, eliminated personalities can't affect abilities, eliminated personalities can't affect abilities..."

In Shizuoka in the distance, Xiongying teacher's apartment.

Nakahara Nakaya, who hadn't received a call from Osamu Dazai for a long time or contacted him by text message, rolled around on the bed, wrapped himself tightly with the quilt, and shivered suddenly.

"What kind of ominous premonition is this..."

The beautiful blue eyes blinked, and the orange-haired young man thrust his face into the pillow.

I always feel -- somehow uneasy about not receiving Dazai's message.

It's not that I'm worried about that guy, most people can't kill that mackerel that is more tenacious than a cockroach.

...It's just that there is a terrible premonition that the other party is going to do something.

No no no, it must be superfluous.

Thinking about it from another angle, I am definitely lucky to be able to sleep normally without being disturbed by Dazai tonight.

Yes, it must be so.
