Since two mercenary leaders with space abilities escaped from the interrogation room, Shirai and Odasaku have been given another mission.

While checking the time of the eastern warehouse and the mastermind behind the mercenaries, track down the whereabouts of the two mercenary leaders.

Of course, the cadre Dazai Osamu is the main person in charge of this task, but Dazai Osamu has disappeared early in the morning.

At this time, Xilai kept looking at the position of Osamu Dazai in the system with some worry.

Why did you suddenly go to Ginza...

Xi Lai wanted to stay beside Osamu Dazai, not only because of the 0.01% suicide success rate, but also because the system failed to accurately detect the time when Osamu Dazai was in danger last time.

And Xilai's job is a job that can't tolerate the slightest error.

He frowned slightly, called up Atsushi Nakajima's timeline for a look, and after finding nothing, called up Osamu Dazai's timeline, and read it carefully several times.

Perhaps because of the heavy investigation tasks recently, Osamu Dazai didn't have so much time to commit suicide, and the time node was also greatly reduced.

But Xilai still couldn't let go.

After all, the previous system failure that caused him to almost fail to save Osamu Dazai is still vivid in my memory...

At this moment, a voice interrupted Xilai's thoughts.

"Imai? Are you listening?"

Odasaku tentatively asked Imai, whose eyes seemed to be in a daze.

Xi Lai reacted immediately: "Sorry..."

He looked at his mission partner with regret in his eyes: "I didn't listen carefully just now."

Odasaku shook his head, saying it was okay.

Xi Lai looked at Odasaku, but found that the man had no intention of continuing. Xi Lai was about to ask, but the man suddenly said to him: "Are you worried about Dazai?"

Xi Lai was choked up by Odasaku's direct question, but Xi Lai, who didn't need to lie, nodded and admitted: "...um."

Oda Saku glanced at him, and sighed with some helplessness and some amusement:

"Let's go."

Xi Lai froze for a moment when he heard the words: "Huh?"

Odasaku smiled at him and said, "Let's go find Dazai."

Under the gaze of Xi Lai who suddenly became surprised, Odasaku put down the documents in his hand, looked at Xi Lai and continued: "Anyway, he is the cadre who is mainly responsible for this task, so it is normal for us to find him to act together Yes."

After being stunned for a moment, Xilai quickly agreed to Odasaku's proposal: "Okay."

This is what he can't wait for right now, and it is the safest thing to be protected by Osamu Dazai's side, and he has no reason to refuse at all.

After half an hour.

Si Lai, who was sitting in the passenger seat, heard Oda Tsukuru beside him say, "It should be here soon."

Although Shirai knew exactly where Osamu Dazai was, she definitely couldn't tell Odasaku directly.Therefore, the exact location of Dazai Osamu was found out by Oda Saku just after calling Dazai Osamu.

While waiting for the traffic light, Odasaku rolled down the car window a little, turned to look at Xi Lai and asked, "Are you motion sick?"

Xilai smiled and shook her head: "It's okay."

Fortunately, that is a little bit.

While thinking, Odasaku rolled down the car window a little more.

During this period, he seemed to remember something, and after hesitating for a while, he still asked Xilai: "How are you and Dazai now...?"

After listening to Oda Saku's words, Shirai thought for a while.

It seems that Oda is still very concerned about his relationship with Osamu Dazai.

As Dazai's friend, it can be seen that he really cares about Dazai.

Is the relationship with Osamu Dazai... Is it different recently?

Xilai recalled with some difficulty.

However, as soon as he recalled it, Xilai really recalled a lot.

The seemingly invisible gaze at the meeting, the first text message from Osamu Dazai, and the teasing words of Osamu Dazai afterwards...

It does seem to be a little different. Before, Osamu Dazai didn't even want to look at him, let alone send text messages.

So, the relationship between the two has indeed changed... As for how it has changed...

Xilai thought about it for a while, and finally came up with a word to describe it:

It just got weirder.

However, why did Osamu Dazai suddenly change his attitude towards him?

Soon, combined with Oda Saku's character, Shirai thought of a possibility.

He looked at Oda Saku next to him, and asked tentatively:

"Did you say something to Mr. Dazai for me?"

As soon as Xilai finished speaking, he caught the unnatural look on Oda Saku's face: "Sorry, I just said a little bit."

Xi Lai quickly waved his hand and said, "I know you must have said that to make our relationship better. You really don't need to apologize." After saying that, Xi Lai smiled and thanked Oda: "Thank you."

Although I don't know what Oda Saku said, but the original intention must be to hope that the relationship between him and Dazai Osamu will ease.

Although there is no particularly big change, compared with before, it is still a little easier to get along with.Xi Lai is not a masochist, so it would be nice to have a better relationship with the task target, after all, it will really affect his mood at work.

So he is sincerely grateful to Oda Saku for wanting to help him.

Although the current relationship is not good to go there...

Thinking of the joke made by Osamu Dazai that day, Xi Lai silently complained about his irritating boss:

I still like to mess with myself!

Just when Xilai was silently complaining in his heart, Odasaku suddenly stopped the car.

The man looked at him and said, "Because I passed by the place where the children live, I'll go down for a while, give something and come back."

After listening to Oda Saku's words, Xi Lai couldn't help being shocked and said, "Do you have any children yet?"

5 minute later.

Xilai, who followed Odasaku to the house, saw a group of cute children looking at him curiously with their heads poked.

The children seemed not afraid of strangers, and a little girl inside even stepped forward and tugged on his sleeve.Xi Lai couldn't help but smiled and touched her pierced head. As a result, the girl ran away a little shyly, but ran back after a while, and looked at her with big beautiful eyes again. sile.

After Odasaku handed over some money to the boss, he said to Xilai apologetically, "Sorry, I was delayed for a while."

Xilai shook his head again and again: "It's okay, I just came down to get some air." He secretly said in his heart:

It turns out that Oda Saku has been adopting these children, he is indeed a very kind person.

At this time, Oda Tsukuru, who had already paid his living expenses, turned to Xi Lai and said, "Let's go."

Xi Lai just stood up and was about to leave with Oda Saku, when suddenly a crisp voice came from behind him: "Beautiful brother, will you come to play next time?"

Xilai turned his head and found that the girl who had just pulled his sleeve was staring at him with bright eyes.

He was just about to say something, but Odasaku already smiled and bent down to touch the girl's head: "Yes."

Then Odasaku stood up and patted Xilai on the shoulder: "Next time when you are free, I will treat you to the curry rice here."

Xi Lai smiled and nodded when she heard the words: "Okay."

After getting the promise, the little girl said goodbye to the two with a smile: "Goodbye—wait for you!"

After returning to the car, it didn't take long for Odasaku to arrive at the place Osamu Dazai said.

The two got out of the car and saw that there was an abandoned underground parking lot in front of them.

But before they entered the pitch-black underground, a figure suddenly faced the light and walked towards them from inside.

Osamu Dazai smiled and waved his hands to them, the bandage on the other hand was stained with fresh blood: "Good afternoon."

As Osamu Dazai approached, Xilai clearly felt a smell of blood.

But it's not his, it's someone else's.

Osamu Dazai walked up to the two of them, took out a tattered yellow note and shook it:

"There are clues."

...

Oda Saku looked at Osamu Dazai, and said softly: "So you mean that the mastermind behind the scenes is about to start acting personally."

Osamu Dazai: "Yeah." After saying that, he raised his head and took a sip of the beer under the quilt.

Odasaku looked at Osamu Dazai who was toasting and drinking, and couldn't help being speechless: "So why did we suddenly come to Lupine Bar..."

Dazai put down his cup and shrugged his shoulders: "It doesn't matter, it happens to be in Ginza anyway."

Odasaku choked.

That's right...the three of them are indeed in Ginza.

So it's a bar on the way..

On the other hand, Xilai kept silent, listening to the conversation between the two, silently drinking the liqueur in his glass.

Xilai ordered Amaretto almond liqueur. He always liked this kind of fruity liqueur, and the wine in this bar was really good, but he could only drink two small glasses at most.

But after a cup, Xi Lai suddenly felt Osamu Dazai's gaze cast on him.

Shirai raised her eyes, only to find that Osamu Dazai had already looked away.

Dazai Osamu signaled to the boss to refill the beer for him, and then said to Oda Tsukuru: "Ah, if Ango didn't know what he's been up to recently, I would have called him over too."

Xi Lai, who was silent, only felt that he was an outsider, drinking wine in silence, listening to the two chatting, pretending that he was an air.

However, after drinking the second glass, he already felt a little dizzy. He put the empty glass there, but he didn't expect the boss to refill it for him soon.

Xilai was a little surprised, but soon knew the reason.

It seems that because Dazai and the others have been refilling the cup, the boss misunderstood that he would also refill it.

It was all down, so Xilai had no choice but to pick up the glass and continue drinking.

At this time, his face had started to turn red.

At this moment, Oda Tsukuru, who was sitting on the side, noticed his strangeness, and reminded him: "This degree is a bit high, please drink less."

Xi Lai nodded: "I won't drink after drinking this cup."

Odasaku smiled and hummed: "Looking at your face, it feels like you're about to get drunk."

Xi Lai reached out and touched her cheek, feeling a little hot: "I..."

He was about to say something to Oda Saku, but was suddenly interrupted by Dazai Osamu's voice:

"Boss, give me another drink."

Xi Lai blinked, and silently closed his mouth. Already feeling a little dizzy, he raised his cup, wanting to drink up the contents of the quilt in one go, and then stop drinking.

After drinking, feeling the sweetness remaining in his mouth, Xi Lai put down the cup, feeling his face getting hotter.

How can I be so dizzy...

Obviously, it's okay to drink two cups normally, but after drinking the third cup, I feel so dizzy.

At this time, Xi Lai could only feel that the conversation between Oda Saku and Dazai Osamu was gradually blurred in his ears, and he couldn't hear it clearly.

No, something bad is going to happen...

Xi Lai tried hard to wake himself up, but under the catalysis of alcohol, he had completely lost the ability to think.

He tried to support his chin with his hands, but it seemed like he couldn't control his body.Sitting between Dazai Osamu and Oda Saku, his body began to shake unconsciously, and then fell heavily in the next second.

"boom--"

With a sound, the drunk Xilai completely fell to the direction of Odasaku beside him.Oda Saku quickly reached out to support Shirai who had lost consciousness by his hand, and couldn't help but said in surprise: "Imai got drunk right away..." After he finished speaking, he looked at Osamu Dazai, but noticed that the other party was planning to support him but Withdrew his hand.

Oda Saku, who noticed Dazai Osamu's movements, was stunned for a moment, then coughed and said: "So Imai is so bad at drinking, I will send him back later, do you know where his home is?"

Osamu Dazai, who was staring at his drunken subordinate, shrugged his shoulders after hearing Oda Saku's question: "How would I know~"

"Just throw it here~" Dazai Osamu said, but his eyes stayed on the black-haired man.

Oda Saku, who was used to Osamu Dazai's jokes, didn't reply to him, but said after thinking for a moment: "Then I'll take him to my house for a night." It's also impossible to leave him in the bar like this.

At this time, Osamu Dazai put down the wine in his hand after hearing Odasaku's words, and then stretched out his hand in the direction of Odasaku: "Leave it to me."

Odasaku was stunned for a moment, but he still handed over the person he was supporting to Osamu Dazai.

Osamu Dazai rested one hand on the dizzy Xilai, and after looking down at him, he helped him down the bar, and then said to Odasaku: "Let's go."

Oda Saku followed, feeling a little confused: "Where are you going?"

Dazai Osamu's voice came over: "Send it to my house."

Odasaku couldn't help but pause when he heard this.

Half an hour later, Oda Tsukuru, who was sitting in the car, looked at the back of Dazai Osamu who was supporting Imai as he left, and couldn't help recalling Dazai Osamu's somewhat abnormal behavior at the bar just now:

Why was Dazai unwilling to let me take Imai home to take care of him for one night?

Isn't he afraid of trouble, and he offered to let Imai stay with him for one night.

The more Odasaku thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. Thinking of Dazai Osamu who wanted to help Imai at the beginning, but finally withdrew his hand, Odasaku gradually had a guess in his heart:

Dazai just now, isn't he jealous?
