After saying this, even Sawada Tsunayoshi, who was somewhat familiar with this guy's personality, felt a little embarrassed.

He wiped the non-existent sweat in his heart, turned his head, and when he saw the black-haired young man with iris eyes, he still smiled helplessly.

Although he said those words that sounded very sad, the boy's expression was no different from usual. He had a cold face and said words that he didn't know where he learned from, but he was actually weirdly cute.

Cough cough.

Putting the word "cute" together with Dazai Osamu will make anyone who hears it wonder if they will have nightmares at night.

So Sawada Tsunayoshi cleverly changed the subject.

"By the way, where is Dazai-kun studying now?" He thought worriedly, wanting to look up the teaching progress in this world for reference.

But come to think of it, when he lived with Dazai, he never saw the boy go to school?

——Such a thought flashed through his mind.

Before Sawada Tsunayoshi could think clearly, the black-haired boy opposite him had already drooped his eyelids.

"School?" He showed a disgusted expression, like a cat smelling stinky shoes, and his whole face wrinkled.

Sawada Tsunayoshi's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly remembered the advanced physics he had seen on the other person's desk.

No matter how you look at it, that kind of thing shouldn't be on the desk of a kid of Dazai Osamu's age.

As expected, after the black-haired boy's disgusted expression, he showed a tired expression that Sawada Tsunayoshi was very familiar with, and now he felt that this familiarity was a little annoying.

"Ah, that kind of thing." He said indifferently and even wanted to yawn because this was really a very boring topic.

"Do you really need to learn something so simple?"

——And, he expressed the heartbreak of Tsunayoshi Sawada, who once tried his best but could only get 17.5 points.

Although the black-haired boy didn't look at him the whole time, Tsunayoshi Sawada felt that he was hurt.

It's a hidden injury.

It's rare for the brown-haired young man to not know what to say.

Just as his health was slowly recovering and he didn't know what to say for a moment, Lan Tang, who had been standing there watching them for a long time, slowly blinked his eyes.

"I'm sorry to bother you," he said, and even the words that came out of his mouth seemed to exude coldness, "but it's very cold outside. Can you go into the room or close the door before arguing?"

nice job!

Sawada Tsunayoshi threw out a smiling face quickly and skillfully.

"Of course." He took out a small hand warmer that he had bought on the way here and handed it to the young man who seemed to be afraid of the cold. The smile on his face was gentle and unmistakable. "Then we are sorry to bother you, Mr. Lan Tang."

…

…

Regarding the so-called resurrection of the former leader of the Port Mafia, Sawada Tsunayoshi was not very interested and did not know much more than the young people present.

When the two boys, one black and one ochre, were communicating with the black-haired young man, he just happened to remember something that Saisiwu had "inadvertently" mentioned when they were sitting around a campfire during a trip and Weilan, who claimed to be his brother, was introducing him to the current situation in the world of superpowers.

About the supernatural powers of his partner and relative, Arthur Rimbaud.

[Superpowers·Coloring Book].

If Weilun knew that his relatives and friends were still alive, even if they were his beloved brother, he would probably hide some of the secrets.

But he didn't know.

So on the one hand, out of unspeakable selfishness, and on the other hand because he was indeed most familiar with this person, Verlaine almost treated Rimbaud as a distant object in various cases, and slowly and methodically revealed all the secrets of his relatives and friends in front of Tsunayoshi Sawada.

Therefore, Tsunayoshi Sawada knew that regarding Jean-Nicolas Arthur Rimbaud's supernatural powers, in addition to the ability of the subspace he demonstrated in front of the port mafia, he also had the ability to control dead people.

However, although he is said to have lost his past memories, the man now known as Randou still keeps this ability hidden.

After learning from Verlaine's exaggeration how amazingly talented this seemingly cold and aloof man once was, Sawada Tsunayoshi was not surprised by his choice.

——Just kidding, Rimbaud just lost his memory, not his mind.

However, when he secretly called the other person "Rambo" in his heart, he always thought of another "Rambaud". The Godfather hesitated for a while, then followed the local customs (? ) and called the other person "Lantang" like everyone else.

He looked up and saw Lan Tang, who was talking to two young men, sitting by the fireplace with a thick blanket on his knees and the hand warmer he had just given him as a souvenir in his hand. With his other free hand, he tore off pages of the book one by one and threw them into the fire.

Perhaps the flame with the scent of book pages burned more vigorously, and after a while, a look of satisfaction appeared on Lan Tang's face.

——Even so, he was still cold.

Therefore, after a while, the man, still feeling cold, thanked the guest with a weary look on his face.

Tsukichi Sawada placed the yellow roses he had brought into his vase, caught the swaying dewdrops with his fingertips, and noticed that the man had already opened the collection of poems he had given him, and a strange feeling arose in his heart.

It was a strange thing to see Lan Tang opening Rimbaud's collection of poems.

He couldn't help but think.

Over there, the young man with long black hair had lowered his eyes and opened the book with his name on it.

Although it was strange, he felt happy when he saw the name.

Was it because it was his own name? Lan Tang didn't know, but when he opened the book and saw the words printed on the title page, which he didn't know whether they were chosen by the editor or the poet, he felt a resonance deep in his soul.

"Mon me éternelle, Observe ton voeu (My eternal soul is watching your heart)," Lan Tang lowered his eyes, his yellow-green pupils drooped, and followed the movement of his knuckles to watch every word, as if he was born to do so, reading these sentences in his mother tongue, with a soft and slow tone, as if he was singing a hymn, "Malgré la nuit seule, Et le jour en feu. (Even if the night is lonely and the day is burning)*."

This is a sentence that is loved by both editors and readers.

Bad critics would say that this is the poet Rimbaud's love words to an unknown woman, while more sophisticated critics would study the rhythm and rhyme of the poem.

In the sunlight, Arthur Rimbaud also read these words softly.

He thought of nothing.

But it seemed as if there was really someone watching him forever in the night and day.

Therefore, the coldness that seemed to have accompanied him since birth also subsided, telling the fact that this was not an unsolvable curse.

He felt cold simply because he was not being illuminated by the sun that belonged to him.

Lan Tang thought, unconsciously stroking the author's signature printed below this specially chosen line of poetry, and subconsciously picturing the other person's appearance in his mind.

He should be a guy as dazzling as the sun, strong, confident, always high-spirited, and always reckless.

Who is that?

…

Seeing Randou lost in thought, like a clockwork that had run out of steam, Sawada Tsunayoshi felt a little worried.

He left Lan Tang's mansion with some worry, turned around, and saw the kid who had just behaved in front of Lan Tang like a quasi-cadre of the port mafia approaching him.

On the other side, Chuuya, whom he had just started raising, also frowned and looked at him.

Sawada Tsunayoshi couldn't help but take a half step back and slowly typed a question mark.

Dazai Osamu uttered a "tsk".

"The dwarf is so incompetent." He snorted, as childish as a child, "How can he pay attention to other people when Tsunayoshi-kun is right next to him?"

This is what was said.

Tsunayoshi Sawada felt that even if he could understand advanced physics, which was so rare that he lost a lot of hair, he would have to learn Chinese again.

But his dear Chuuya did not refute. Instead, he frowned, hesitated for a long time, and came over shyly.

"Do you like Lan Tang very much?" The auburn-haired young man hesitated. It was the first time for him to encounter such a thing. While considering how to fulfill the wish of his brother who was so kind to him, he was also struggling with the rationality of this matter. "If he likes him, can I try to let him come out here?"

The young man searched his mind and found a suitable word: "Dig out the foot of the wall, right? Let's dig him over here?"

Nakahara Chuuya didn't speak very skillfully, after all, it was his first time doing this job.

Nakajima Atsushi, who was standing behind Dazai Osamu and acting as a background, already had an expression of screaming like a famous painting - although he didn't express it this way, it was so easy to understand that even the Godfather could see it.

Sawada Tsunayoshi twitched his lips, but he had to say that this was a good suggestion.

The two young men looked at each other, and at this moment there was a strange tacit understanding between them.

"No." Dazai Osamu said casually, "Mr. Mori won't agree."

He yawned, and his black coat floated up and down and left and right as he walked, but it wouldn't fall off. It was hard not to wonder if there was a pin stuck in it.

——Although it was inappropriate, Tsunayoshi Sawada was indeed very curious.

After all, the last person whose coat never fell off was his beloved senior, Skylark.

The omnipotent Hibari-senpai is also omnipotent even when it comes to his coat (?). After being together for so many years, the coat of the other has only fallen off his shoulders a few times. There are even several Vongola year-end parties where the Guardians gather together to secretly guess whether Kusabake-senpai is in charge of Hibari's coat.

For example, sewing it up for him.

But ten years later, this is still one of the top ten unsolved mysteries of Vongola.

So the Godfather's gaze was like a feline staring at a ball of yarn, staring at Dazai Osamu's coat, and it was difficult not to continue staring even if he tried his best.

Dazai Osamu did not notice the hidden desire in his look, but misinterpreted it as desire for Rantang.

The black-haired young man sighed and groaned, as if he was really sighing for them.

"It's useless even if you look at me like this." Dazai said, "Mr. Mori will never give up Mr. Randou."

Although he used honorifics, Dazai Osamu's tone did not contain any respect for Mori Ogai or Randou.

He glanced at the brown-haired boy who had a calm and seemingly eager expression (?), and the auburn-haired boy who looked confused and probably couldn't even hear clearly what he was saying, and sighed pretentiously, "You're really a little slug. You don't even know something like this," and explained before Nakahara Chuuya was about to kick him away.

"After all, Mr. Randou is one of the few cadres who clearly supports Mr. Mori." He said so, and elaborated on the content that could be called the inner secrets of the Port Mafia, which would take ordinary people a long time to understand. "Much like me, Mr. Randou is also a means for Mr. Mori to consolidate his rule within the Port Mafia."

He curled his eyebrows, but it didn't make people smile. Instead, something cold and gloomy slowly crept up along the ankles of several people. Even Nakajima Atsushi showed a genuine expression of surprise.

Dazai Osamu glanced at the expressions of these guys and couldn't help but snorted.

As expected, such a simple thing, is he the only one who understands it?

——While feeling that it was natural, the overly intelligent young man also began to feel a little bored again.

How boring, he thought.

Otherwise, it would be better to go into the water after separating from the dwarf and the others.

How about trying other methods? Besides entering the water, what other more common methods are there to help you escape from sharks?

Just as Dazai Osamu was thinking about it boredly, Sawada Tsunayoshi also pinched his chin.

He recalled the current situation of the port mafia in his mind.

Since Mori Ogai followed the "last words" of the previous leader and became the new leader, things have not been smooth sailing inside the Port Mafia.

After all, although the Japanese underworld emphasizes the word "righteousness", this only applies to the boss at most.

And when the boss dies, the remaining brothers will still fight to the death for the only leading position.

After all, in the world of mafia, you can still have "brothers" in the future, but the leader's seat may only come once in your life.

Therefore, when the previous leader was critically ill and the battle for the future leader of the Port Mafia was tense, suddenly a dark horse named Mori Ouga appeared, who was not taken seriously by everyone. Everyone would be angry and doubt the legitimacy of this gang.

Mori Ogai prepared Dazai Osamu for this.

The young man who was brought back to the port mafia by the former leader personally has a unique status and authority within the mafia. With his testimony, all the others have more trust in the "last words" of their predecessors as mentioned by Mori Ougai.

But this is not enough.

This can only deceive the loyalty and trust of some people, while the others, especially the original cadres, some of whom have been eyeing the position of leader. Even if Mori Ouwai has the real will of his predecessor, these guys who have long regarded the port mafia as their own will will say it is fake.

This part is the primary goal after Mori Ougai takes the position.

At that time, the whole of Yokohama was in the midst of a chaotic war, and it was only natural that the port mafia, which was at the center of the vortex, would lose several generals in the war, especially the war between people with special abilities.

Mori Owl also took the opportunity to shed a few tears for Crocodile, and used the situation to withdraw from the war, giving the weak Port Mafia a chance to breathe and adjust.

This is also one of the reasons why he was able to quickly accumulate reputation in the port mafia. In fact, what Mori Owl lost was far less than it seemed - after all, he was absolutely profit-oriented. After careful calculation, his ultimate goal was to use the weapon of "war" to tailor the chaotic port mafia into the shape he wanted.

And in the end, just as he expected, the leader of the port mafia won.

Now, after several years of recuperation and development, thanks to the leader's strategy and the battles of his subordinates with special abilities, the port mafia is expanding and has exceeded the scale of its predecessors.

——Despite this, their behavior and reputation are no longer the same as they were back then.

"All this is thanks to our great leader, Mr. Mori." Dazai Osamu said in a comically flattering tone, "However, now that the situation has stabilized, some things should be done."

He stretched out a finger and waved it in front of him.

"What is a no-prize contest?"

Nakahara Chuuya, who was listening attentively and unwilling to admit it, subconsciously said, "What?"

Then naturally, the black-haired boy looked at him like an idiot.

Sawada Tsunayoshi pinched his chin, glanced at the auburn-haired boy who was about to explode, put his hand on the other's shoulder, and thought that he should put the basic courses on the agenda - didn't he also take classes in school when he was taught by Reborn?

At the same time, he answered Dazai Osamu: "Kill the donkey after it has finished its work."

The black-haired young man's eyes lit up slightly, and he snapped his pretty, bandaged fingers loudly.

"Bingo~that's it." He replied with a smile.

——Obviously, Lan Tang might be the donkey that needs to be killed.

After all, although only a corner of his actual ability was shown, Lan Tang's ability was still too "dangerous".

If he could use it completely for his own benefit, then this "danger" could be transformed into "powerful", but it was obvious that the black-haired young man who had lost his memory was an uncontrollable factor in Mori Ogai's eyes, so his position in Mori Ogai's eyes would only be another word corresponding to "powerful", "dangerous".

Such a dangerous guy can be a powerful weapon for him to use when the organization is not yet formed and Mori Owl has not been able to fully control the organization.

But once he is able to control the organization, the first thing Moriogai has to do is to eliminate this dangerous factor.

In addition, Sen Ou, who was once a military officer and participated in the superpower war, may not be completely unaware of Yu Landang's true identity.

In this case, the best option is to eliminate him before his memory recovers.

In the words of Mori Ougai, it is the "optimal solution".

——Of course, all this is based on the fact that the resurrection of the predecessors was indeed Rimbaud’s plan.

With the help of the special abilities of his relatives and friends secretly revealed by his brother and the information he collected, Sawada Tsunayoshi was able to verify this conjecture with success.

But Dazai Osamu's words also hinted that Mori Ogai wanted to get rid of the donkey after he had done his job - that is, this incident was directed at Randou - which made people very interested.

Looking back at Nakahara Chuuya, who had a grim expression on his face but had just understood the whole story, Sawada Tsunayoshi was silent for a moment and caressed his head.

Zhongyuan Zhongye:?

"It's okay." The Godfather smiled tolerantly, "Chuuya, take your time to investigate this matter."

——If it really doesn’t work, just let Dazai lead the way.

Thinking of this, Sawada Tsunayoshi became interested in the explosion incident involving Chuuya Nakahara. When Chuuya turned around, he started to investigate the incident that happened several years ago.

When he was found by the panting lambs, he turned around and discovered that Nakahara Chuuya and Dazai had been fighting with Randou at some point.

Sawada Tsunayoshi: …

Sawada Tsunayoshi: !!!

When the fierce battle between the two sides was about to reach the last moment and the sickle was about to pierce Lan Tang's chest, he inserted himself between the two sides. The flame in his hand absorbed the foreign energy with difficulty, transformed it into white ice, and expanded step by step.

But the shock in the brown-haired boy's heart did not stop.

He stepped back to avoid Lan Tang's attack, and the strange ability unique to this world, which was to read and recite the entire text (not) on time, "read" the words surrounding Lan Tang.

[Poor brother.

Fortunately, I have him. I have been through so many terrible nights because he was by my side protecting me! *】

——Although it was not revealed to anyone, Tsunayoshi Sawada vaguely remembered seeing this sentence in Verlaine's manuscript, which was said to be not intended for publication and was just casually written.

But why is it a special effect of Mr. Lan Tang (not really), and why is it a text that only appears when Lan Tang activates his special ability... In the end, is this really something he can know? !
