Port Mafia headquarters building, top floor.

Chief's office.

Someone who is hated by Akutagawa Ryunosuke, someone who cabinet officials would like to eat raw, someone whose power is terrifying enough to start a new round of civil war.

Someone who has been sleepless for nearly four and a half years, someone who quietly pushes everyone away from him, someone who is the happiest in thousands of parallel worlds.

The leader of the port mafia still sits in his dark coffin.

The luxurious chandelier reflected his pale side face. Unconsciously, the young man raised his hand and gently touched the bandage over his left eye with his fingertips.

Then he put his hand down, picked up the trembling receiver from the antique desk, and answered the phone.

"...Is that so? We lost."

I don't know what was said on the other side of the phone, but such words were gently spit out from the mouth of the mafia leader.

This is really scary enough.What exactly is lost?A case of cross-border arms smuggling?An assassination against a big shot?What are the consequences of losing?Wouldn't it be a new round of war between Kanto and Kansai?

But at the same time as he said this, the leader actually smiled, not surprised at all, and even looked a little smug.

"Is the whole army wiped out?" The leader Dazai asked with a slight smile in his voice.

On the other end of the phone, even the sound of breathing stopped in fear.

——The mafia subordinate who made the call is a member of the bottom who is responsible for monitoring a certain street with ultra-telescopic technology.Of course, the longhouse where fifteen children lived is also included.

This job is long, peaceful, and requires meticulous intelligence investigations. This low-level member essentially does not understand what the superiors want him to monitor, but within the Mafia, orders are absolutely irresistible unless he wants to die.This job has been with him for four and a half years, and it has never been like stagnant water and nothing happened until—two days ago.

A young man wearing a peaked cap and unable to see his face clearly walked into the stronghold, showed the "Silver Hand" that only the leader can issue, and browsed all the recent surveillance cameras with the usual high-ranking attitude of a middle school.

At that time the young man said—

'There will be members of the Armed Action Group lurking around here within three days.In the event of a shootout, it is your responsibility to inform me of the outcome. '

That's when the lower-level members got the string of phone numbers.

He didn't know where the number ended up being called through many transfers, and he didn't dare to ask why the young man knew that there would be a shootout.He only knew that the superior with the "Silver Hand" was something he could not defy anyway, so he monitored the action team - the guerrillas - and the big shots with supernatural powers one by one, and dialed out the number to announce the failure At the same time, his fingers were trembling badly: Could it be that even he, a useless waste, will be silenced?

But the call was finally made, and judging from the sound alone, it could even be said that the person on the other end was a little proud, and he didn't know what pride the defeated mafia had.

The leader, Dazai, was not really surprised: in order to protect the children, he has already understood for thousands of times what kind of combat power Odasaku can display.

So only when the subordinates tremblingly asked "Do you want to confirm the casualties of the members of the operation team", he casually said "No." The leader said absent-mindedly, "There will be no casualties, they just passed out The other party did not kill anyone. ——Then how are the other two newly joined teenagers doing?"

Following the cautious report of his subordinates, the leader quickly restored the scene in his mind:

The knife-wielding boy stood at the window with the child in his arms. Oda Saku thought it was a kidnapping of the child, and the guerrillas also made the same judgment.

The three parties converged at one point at the same time. During the scuffle, the boy with the knife protected the child and retreated without attacking at all. The children were frightened but their lives were not in danger. up.

At the same time the leader came to two conclusions:

First, there is room in this battle situation, and the combat effectiveness of those two teenagers cannot be underestimated.

And judging from the performance of these two people who only care about defense, and Oda Saku's subsequent relaxed attitude towards the teenagers, at least they can be called a friendly camp for Oda Saku and the children.

Well, that's enough.

No matter what reason these two people want to look for "Dazai Osamu", as long as they are friendly and harmless to the children, it is not impossible for him to spare their lives.

Otherwise, this world... no, if you follow up, let these people...

The leader's thoughts turned involuntarily to the direction of the follow-up arrangements. In the blink of an eye, he had already considered the dangerous needs of killing first and then forging false identities, but in the end he decided to leave it to Oda to handle it himself.

——For the youngsters who have entered Odazuo's protection circle, the leader is not very willing to really kill them.He'd better trust his friend's choice.

Second, words.

I'm afraid, Odasaku has already regarded the port mafia as an imaginary enemy, right?

Thinking of this, the leader slightly bent the corners of his mouth, which seemed to be an unformed smile.

That can't be helped?

That is also impossible.

If you don't send guerrillas to lurk, how can you determine the position of the knife-wielding boy in another world?I'm a little sorry for Hirotsu-san, who was temporarily appointed to lead the team, but please forgive him if he won't die; ah, it doesn't matter if you don't forgive.

On the other hand, if the port mafia is not regarded as an enemy, the most important part of the plan he has designed to protect the "book" cannot be completed.

Therefore, even if Atsushi-kun and Akutagawa will be covered in bruises, there is nothing to be done.

Therefore, even if he would be hated by Oda——

Thoughts stop here.The leader who had held power for a long time shook his head repeatedly, and for a moment he showed a bit of a boyish appearance, as if he wanted to shake this terrible thought out of his head.

The leader Dazai, who has always been sober and rational to the point of being frightening, wants to close his eyes and plug his ears like a child.

In this world, he is the only one who has been awake for too long, why can't he deceive himself?

—Ah, speaking of Akutagawa.

The leader immediately diverted his attention.He changed his position on the seat, pressed the control button in the dark, and a real-time image was projected on the pitch-black bulletproof glass.

It was actually a surveillance image of several people fighting fiercely downstairs.

I'm afraid no one would have thought that every step of the invasion of the port mafia would be firmly in the hands of the mafia leader, staring and evaluating with that cold and sharp gaze.

The leader Dazai quietly watched the surveillance screen.

It is difficult for a single surveillance camera to capture the high-speed moving [Tiger]. Fortunately, the most important thing in the mafia headquarters building is various surveillance equipment.

Atsushi Nakajima, whose limbs turned into tiger paws, stayed on the wall for a short time, and turned into a whirlwind invisible to the naked eye in the next second, hitting straight down——

The gray clothes blade and the tiger's claw met together, so intense that sparks even burst out.

However, Yiren is Yiren after all, how can the cloth compare with the sharp claws of a tiger?The three-layered fabric was torn before it lasted for too long. Seeing the tiger claws stabbing in front of him, countless blades were ejected silently from the ground, forcing Atsushi Nakajima to give up the attack and instead jumped to the ground with his strength. ceiling.

It was the sword rain that cut off the space and stabbed, and behind that was the calm and decisive eyes of Akutagawa Ryunosuke.

——If you are not someone who has grown up, you will never show such eyes.

The leader raised his eyebrows slightly, adjusted the buttons, and switched to another monitoring screen.

The girl in a snow-white kimono with long hair hanging down stood there, only a figure appeared behind her.

The figure floating in the air is also wearing a kimono and a snow-white makeup mask, holding a sword as tall as a girl.

There is no doubt that this is a supernatural ability, and its name is - [Yasha Baixue].

On the other side, the enemy confronting the girl was nowhere to be seen.

Like a mime and a photo, the girl who was almost frozen moved abruptly.

She took out an old mobile phone from her arms and put it to her ear:

"Kill the enemy, [Yasha Shirayuki]."

As soon as the words fell, the figure that appeared behind the girl raised the sword and swept it across!

This knife almost cut off all the surrounding obstacles, and also exposed the subtle differences in the corners.

The girl drew a dagger.

"My name is Quan Jinghua, and I am an assassin of the port mafia." The girl said softly.

"If I let you go, you will rush over to help, and that person may be injured. —— Such an assumption cannot be allowed."

Quan Jinghua rushed forward.

At the same time, the camera interfered with by the supernatural ability [Xi Xue] made an ominous electric sound of "sizzling".

The leader who watched all this smiled lightly, let the camera screen go black, and did not make any further adjustments.

——All the progress is under his control, even better than what he had imagined.

"Akutagawa-kun is better than expected. Don't you think so," the leader asked slowly, "Silver?"

Turns out he wasn't alone.

Secretary Akutagawa Gin is always by the leader's side, but she is too silent and silent, making it difficult for people to realize her presence.

Upon hearing these words, Yin bowed her head meekly.

"Yes. Chief." Yin replied, also a little happy.

The leader also smiled, "This is the power of the Armed Detective Agency. Congratulations, Yin, brother put you first. Are you still resenting him?"

Yin shook his head, "It's gone for a long time." The woman in black replied, "It's good that brother didn't kill any more."

The leader asked, "Then why are you still standing here?"

"Wh--" For the first time, Akutagawa Yin showed a look of astonishment, opened his eyes slightly, and looked up at the leader beyond the norm: "You said, what?"

The chief just said, "Don't you have something else you must do?"

Yin repeated in disbelief: "It is necessary to do...? But, but, I, I should be sentenced to death... You say..."

The leader smiled gently as if looking at an innocent child.

"Yeah. Go ahead, Silver."

The leader Dazai said softly:

"This is your 'Day of Rebirth'."

"————————————!"

At this moment, Yin almost shed tears in front of this lonely man.

Yin obeyed the order and stood in front of the door, but she couldn't help turning her head when she stood in front of the door.

"You pushed me away at last, but what are you going to do?"

In Gin's last glance, Osamu Dazai finally showed a sincere smile.

This smile was extremely tired, tired and pale, but it seemed as if the child had finally fulfilled his wish and was satisfied.

From the window that was slowly opened for the first time in four and a half years, the warm orange light of the sunset kissed every inch of this man's unknown pain.

Osamu Dazai gazed at his Yokohama, the small world he has cared for until now, and said with a smile:

"As for me? I'm going to meet... my 'destiny'."
