Chapter 91

The childish quarrel between the current leader of the Port Mafia and the highest-ranking cadre was captured, but Yayoi was not punished. Dazai Osamu returned to his seat, resting his hands on the table, crossing them in front of his face, and looked at him meaningfully.

Zhongyuan Zhong also did not make any expression and looked aside as if nothing had happened.

Yayoi, who was always confident in interpersonal communication, suddenly panicked. He thought for a few seconds and asked tentatively, "Should Dazai's face be kept secret?"

Although after he came to this world, he met Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuuya who were very kind to him, and there was no big difference from the previous world, but different world lines will have different developments, and his previous indifferent behavior may seem very wrong here.

"It's okay." Dazai Osamu said, he squinted his eyes and waved at Yayoi, motioning him to come to him.

Yayoi walked over and looked down at Dazai Osamu who was sitting in his seat.

"Yashi, you won't show it to others, right?" He said before Yashi could speak, "Of course I won't allow such a thing. Stay with me before you leave."

The boy with green eyes stared at him for a while, then replied calmly, "If it was the Dazai I knew, he wouldn't say something like 'before you leave'."

"Don't mistake me for him, I'm so annoying." Dazai Osamu waved his hands as if he didn't understand, and his eyes accidentally passed by Nakahara Chuuya standing beside him, "I'm different from that kind of person. I can easily get whatever I want. Yayoi is just a toy that I'm interested in at the moment. I might get tired of her after this period of time. I'm saying this for your own good."

The Dazai Osamu who possesses the "book" is indeed different from the one he knows. Even if Yayo is completely unaware of the plot of the beast line, she can still infer what his problem is from Dazai Osamu's behavior at this time.

If it was the Dazai he knew, he wouldn't have said anything like leaving or not. He would just make him inseparable through subtle means, just like when they first met. Even if they had different experiences, they should be essentially the same, and there wouldn't be such a big deviation in personality.

Saying this means that Dazai Osamu is too lazy to meddle in irrelevant matters, which means that -

"It's indeed different." Yayoi said, relying on the difference between him and Dazai Osamu at the moment, he leaned forward slightly and grabbed his wrist, revealing an expression that would never allow the other party to escape, "You are more timid than the Dazai I know."

As the leader of the Port Mafia, Dazai Osamu still smiles

, his eyes were cold from beginning to end, and he asked gently: "So, what do you mean by saying this?"

"What I mean is, I won't be angry with you." Yashiro let go of his hand, moved away from him, and stood next to Nakahara Chuuya.

The physical distance was widened, but Dazai still felt a strange pressure, as if something was irresistible and broken.

"And I'm very confident that no one will hate me." Yashi curved her eyes and said, "You won't get tired of me."

*

The last time she traveled through time, Yayo was picked up by the sixteen-year-old Dazai Osamu and then placed in a property somewhere. When Chuuya Nakahara and the others didn't need to work, she would play things that teenagers liked with them.

Although it was a relatively new thing for both him and Chuuya, he was reluctant to get involved in the affairs of the Port Mafia because of certain reasons, but this did not mean that he was not interested in the work of the Mafia.

Just like what is written in many fan works, if you travel to such a world, you will appear mediocre if you can't even become an official of the Port Mafia (I don't mean to say that being an official is easy).

However, now that he has traveled to this world for the second time, he is facing another possible Dazai Osamu. He still has no reason to intervene in the affairs of Hong Kong/Underworld, but this time he has experienced cadre-level treatment.

It’s very simple. Just turn into a cat and be held by Chuuya Nakahara while you patrol.

He has been here for almost a week, and he doesn't seem to be leaving yet, and the effect of the drug seems to have not worn off yet. Unlike the previous surprise of seeing another self, this time he seems to be more inclined to the linkage content he is familiar with.

According to his experience, one still has to push the plot forward and accomplish something before leaving.

He absolutely believed in Shiho Miyano's ability to create a drug that can rejuvenate people in a world that is generally considered scientific. Shiho Miyano said that the drug would only be effective for three days.

It must be the world's problem. If it is really a linkage, the reason why he turned into a cat must be to be cute.

He was a little unhappy, but he was the one who forced the cartoonist to cut off his work, so he could still tolerate this. And the kitten was still very happy. There was probably no one in the world who would dare to let Chuuya Nakahara massage willingly, but he could (after becoming a cat).

However, he has almost figured out the pattern of his transformation. Generally, he exists alternately, and the time he spends transforming into a cat is getting longer and longer.

The shorter it is, the less impact it has on your life.

After turning into a cat, you can naturally do things that you would normally consider shameful, such as sticking to your own friends.

Yashiro raised her head and nuzzled Nakahara Chuuya, the tip of her ear brushing across his chin, and Nakahara Chuuya felt the soft and slightly cool touch, her fingers skillfully and lightly touched his back, and she chuckled softly, "What's wrong, do you want to continue walking?"

Yashiro nodded modestly.

"Okay, then let's go back later." Nakahara Chuuya agreed easily.

It was Yayoi who suggested taking a walk, but it was Nakahara Chuuya who was walking. He just wanted to be held in his arms and enjoy the scenery of Yokohama.

Even though it's just a cat, Yayoi feels that if Chuuya were a parent, he would definitely be the type who dotes on his child.

As per his request, they wandered around outside for about 20 minutes. When they returned—he was temporarily staying in Dazai Osamu's office, which was recognized as the safest place in Yokohama. He didn't feel that he needed any protection, but he still agreed to the proposal. He thought it would be better for him to stay with Dazai—it was already a little late. The guard standing at the door of the leader's office whispered to Nakahara Chuuya, "The guerrilla leader is here."

Nakahara Chuuya nodded to show that he understood, and before he raised his hand to knock on the door, the door was opened from the inside. A white-haired boy wearing a black coat that covered his entire body from throat to ankles stood there with no expression on his face. He nodded slightly to Nakahara Chuuya and said, "The leader asked me to open the door."

Without waiting for their reply, Dazai Osamu said, "I guessed that you were back. Although you happened to interrupt the friendly exchange between me and Atsushi-kun, I forgive you."

friendly?

Nakahara Chuuya looked at the skin of Nakajima Atsushi that was exposed. It wasn't much, but it was covered with sweat. But what made Nakahara Chuuya more concerned was the letter in Nakajima Atsushi's hand. It was a black envelope, in a standard format issued by a leader. It was probably an important task for him.

Yayoi, who was held in his arms, was also very interested in the thing and expressed her desire for it.

He was very self-aware. If he relied on his agility to snatch it, he would probably be knocked down by Nakajima Atsushi ALTER's claws. No matter how strong his recovery ability was, he couldn't torture himself like this.

The white-haired boy ignored the small animal that shouldn't be in the leader's office. He put his hands behind his back and bowed to Dazai Osamu: "Then I'll leave first."

Yashi watched him leave. No one in the room

Someone tried to persuade him to stay, as if he was the only one who didn't want Nakajima Atsushi to leave, but he couldn't speak, and his emerald green cat's eyes could not express any information at all.

Dazai Osamu put down what he was holding and stretched out his hand towards Yayoi: "You are finally willing to come back."

The black cat jumped lightly from Nakahara Chuuya's arms, but turned its head away, as if it didn't want to pay any attention to him.

"It's a headache. It was indeed a mistake to keep you here." Dazai Osamu said with a complicated expression. It was obvious that he knew why Yayo didn't want to talk to him.

Then, a white light emanated from Yayoi's body. The black-haired boy stood up from a half-squatting position and stared at Dazai Osamu with cat-like eyes: "I am not in any position to stop you."

Dazai Osamu sighed, feeling very awkward, and looked up at Nakahara Chuuya and said, "Can you leave first, Chuuya? I have something to talk to him alone."

"I don't have anything to say to you. I won't be back tonight." Yashiro walked up to Nakahara Chuuya and said, "We already made an appointment, right, Chuuya?"

Nakahara Chuuya has always liked Yayoi and was the kind of person who would buy grain from her privately. At this moment, he actually had the illusion that he was facing two Dazai Osamu.

But he was sure that the two men seemed to be saying something he was not allowed to know.

I don't want to get involved at all. Once I'm involved in Dazai's affairs, it will become very troublesome...but he called me Chuuya!

"Yes, there is such a thing." Nakahara Chuuya said lightly.

"Before, Yayoi-kun was just a cat, right? Can you now communicate with other creatures?" Dazai Osamu said.

"Yeah, can't you?" Nakahara Chuuya made a surprised expression.

“…”

*

When Nakahara Chuuya drove out, he saw Yayoi, who was standing at the bottom of the Port Mafia building, looking at the office of the top leader with a worried look.

He lowered the window and called out to Yashiro, and the boy suddenly realized that he was sitting in the passenger seat.

Nakahara Nakamura didn't drive the car immediately. He looked at Yayoi who was fastening her seat belt and said, "If you are really worried, go back."

"There's no point in worrying, that guy is very stubborn." Yayoi fastened her seat belt and smiled at Nakahara Chuuya, "Chuuya is still the best."

"It feels like you're saying I'm simple-minded."

"There is no such thing."

There was silence in the car for a while, and then they both laughed at the same time.

“Now I

I believe you and I have a very good relationship." Zhongyuan Zhong also considerately did not mention the things they avoided talking about, and changed the topic, "When I first heard about parallel worlds, I always felt that it was not a topic that should appear with the current level of science and technology."

"It's indeed hard to accept, but it seems a little better than things like comic characters wearing different clothes." Yayoi said with a smile, "The Chuuya-kun I know was also very quick to accept it. He even took me to the game hall and played all night."

"The game hall..." Nakahara Nakaya thought for a while, stepped on the brakes and changed the direction of driving, "Then let's go."

"Aren't you going on a business trip to Europe tomorrow?"

Yayoi knew about this. Based solely on the envelope in Nakajima Atsushi's hand that he saw today, he felt that Nakahara Chuuya would not come back until everything was over.

If he forced Nakahara Chuuya to stay...that was impossible, Dazai Osamu would not let this succeed, and now Dazai was the leader, and according to the chain of command, he had to follow Dazai's orders.

Although keeping Chuuya is the easiest way, after all, Dazai Osamu can only let him go on a business trip, and there is no doubt that Chuuya is powerful. But if that were the case, the "Chuuya is on a business trip" meme would not be so popular.

"It's just an overnight stay. You can sleep on the plane tomorrow." Nakahara Chuuya raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Are you going?"

"go!"

In the main world and the beast world, the identities and life trajectories of many people have changed, but Nakahara Chuuya is still moving forward unswervingly in the previous direction. For Yayoi, the Chuuya here is no different from the sixteen-year-old Nakahara Chuuya he knows.

——Even when Chuuya and the others were eighteen years old, he still hadn't resolved his own issues and maintained his sixteen-year-old face.

Similarly, Nakahara Chuuya's gaming skills were also very good here, but in the end they didn't play all night. They left the arcade in the middle of the night and walked side by side on the empty street.

They sat down on a bench by the roadside. Yayoi went to the vending machine and bought two bottles of soda. The red cans condensed water vapor when they came into contact with room temperature. He handed one to Nakahara Chuuya and sat next to him.

The sky in Yokohama is clearer than that in Tokyo, and you can see some stars clearly on a night like this. It should be said that under the leadership of the port mafia, the environment in Yokohama is much better than that in Tokyo.

"I don't want to praise that person, but this is all thanks to Dazai." Nakahara Chuuya gently opened the soda, and the bubbles burst with a 'pop' sound.

Explosion sound, "He did a good job on this point."

Yayoi said nothing and turned to look at Nakahara Chuuya.

The young man raised his head, revealing his delicate profile. "I have a bad feeling, and the riddle you and Dazai played also confirmed this. That guy, does he want to die?"

Being stared at by cobalt blue eyes, Yayoi, who originally disapproved of Dazai's behavior, felt guilty about Dazai's behavior and subconsciously helped by speaking up: "He has always been like this."

"This time is different, I know that." Nakahara Chuuya said calmly, so rational that he was a little cold, which made Yashiro feel a little strange.

"He has his own considerations. Even though I can't understand them, he will arrange everything." Yashi said as objectively as possible.

In the end, he couldn't convince himself anymore, and the two of them fell into an uncomfortable silence. In the end, it was Nakahara Chuuya who took the lead in smoothing things over as an adult: "Forget it, as a subordinate, it's my job to deal with this mess..."

“No.” Yashiro interrupted him and looked at Nakahara Chuuya firmly, “There won’t be such an opportunity.”

"I'll stop him."

*

After returning to Dazai's office, Yayoi pretended that nothing had happened and had never talked to Dazai about these things before. She switched between human and cat form very comfortably.

On the contrary, Dazai Osamu became curious about his attitude and failed to talk to him several times. But it didn't take long for Dazai to guess his intention. However, even if he guessed it, he couldn't stop it, and the two of them fell into a very delicate balance.

However, when that day came, Dazai Osamu directly ordered Akutagawa Gin to subdue Yayoi.

"I have some things to do, Yayoi-kun, wait here for Chuuya to come back." Dazai Osamu stroked the kitten that was tied up and couldn't speak at all, and smiled, "Although you probably can't do anything right now."

The poor little kitten did not arouse the sympathy of the people present. Dazai Osamu calmly left the leader's office, but because of the battle between the White Death and Rashomon, the whole building was shaking and looked like it was about to collapse.

Akutagawa Gin watched Yayoi struggle in silence, and finally reached out to help him loosen the rope.

After Dazai left, Yayoi calmed down. He had naturally expected this. Since he planned to stop Dazai directly, he considered everything that might happen.

But I didn't expect that he was in the cat transformation period at this time. Even if I caught up with him, I couldn't say a word.

The black kitten closed its eyes and lay listlessly on the cushion on the ground. Its black fur was very conspicuous against the dark red cushion.

He became like this because of the new drug developed by Miyano Shiho, but his special ability is to decompose the drug. There is no other way now, so let's give it a try.

The reason why he went to try the medicine was because of his ability. He didn't expect that Shirley's medicine was so powerful and it was still very effective after so long.

Light emanated from the black kitten. This was not the first time that Akutagawa Gin had seen him change, but this time the light lasted particularly long.

When the light faded, the black-haired boy sat on the ground in a mess. All the ropes that had bound him had fallen apart. He rubbed his head.

“Hmm…”

"ear……"

Yayo was stunned after touching something and Akutagawa Gin's voice sounded at the same time. Yayo looked at Miss Gin. The girl, who always had no expression, blushed slightly and took out a small mirror from her pocket.

The black-haired boy in the mirror had a pair of cat ears on his head, and they moved twice quite deftly, as if their owner had noticed them.

Yashiro: “…”

"There's no time to think about this. I want to go out." Yashi stood up. His feet were a little numb, but he stood steadily. At this time, he also noticed the tail behind him that was keeping his balance.

"...Yes, I want to go out." He made his request to Akutagawa Gin very reluctantly.

Maybe it was because the effect of the medicine had not been completely eliminated. He didn't have time to think about this now. If he didn't hurry up, he would have to look into the eyes of Dazai Osamu outside the floor-to-ceiling window that had become transparent with electricity.

"The leader didn't tell me to keep an eye on you." Akutagawa Gin replied in a low voice, but he couldn't take his eyes off the ear, "He just told me to subdue you."

"Thank you." Yashi curved his eyes and thanked her, saying as he ran out, "If you still have this thing when you come back, I'll let you touch it."

*

This was Yashi's first time on the rooftop, but he was well prepared and had memorized the map of the place in advance. When all the elevators were out of service, he found the nearest distance and ran up.

"You know..."

"have no idea--"

Before Dazai Osamu could ask that question, Yayoi interrupted him first. It was really too torturous to let a otaku with little physical strength run for so long. It was a little different from the heroic appearance he imagined. After Yayoi said this,

Continuously gasping for breath.

"Is this a surprise?" Dazai Osamu laughed the moment he saw Yayoi, "Very cute."

"Don't change the subject, man in black." Akutagawa's attention was attracted by the moving tail for a moment, and then he said angrily.

Dazai Osamu didn't care about Akutagawa Ryunosuke's bad attitude and nodded: "It seems that Yayo-kun can't speak for a while, so continue with my question. You know..."

"They won't know." Yayoi hasn't recovered yet, but walked directly between Nakajima Atsushi and Akutagawa Ryunosuke.

The sudden appearance of a strange boy, who even had cat ears, made both of them very confused. Nakajima Atsushi had seen Yayoi before, but the last time he saw her, she was still normal.

"Sorry, let me talk to him first." Yashiro said politely to the two boys beside him, one in black and one in white. He was still a little out of breath and looked up at Dazai Osamu. "No more than three people can know this. If you tell them, you will have to take me with you to die. Is that right?"

"But Yayoi-kun will return to his original world." Dazai Osamu had already thought of the answer and said smoothly, "When everything is over, you will have no reason to stay."

It can be said that Dazai Osamu, who has read the "book", even guessed the so-called plot.

"But I'm here now, right?"

Hearing what Yayoi said, Dazai Osamu was suddenly stunned, and the green-eyed boy walked towards him.

"I am here just to stop you. If you are unwilling to accept this result, then you will return to the original trajectory." Yashi said, "Why go to the far place instead of the near one?"

Yes, he appeared here just to change the ending of this world, but Dazai Osamu always refused his exploration, hoping that the world could still move at the pace he originally imagined.

"I'm not trying to go far away, I'm just doing it by the way." Dazai Osamu explained helplessly but patiently, "I can't think of the meaning of living, I'm just committing suicide and saving the world by the way."

"This can't convince me. I can't agree with such behavior." Yayoi walked towards him, and Dazai retreated at the same time. Behind him was the edge of the building without any cover. If he stepped backwards, he would fall directly to the bottom.

"Why should I seek your approval? Even if you are cute, it is a bit too self-righteous to say such things. I don't need to explain my intentions to you." Dazai Osamu said. Half of his body had exceeded that limit.

When standing dangerously over there.

Yashi stopped and looked at him seriously with her clear green eyes: "We are friends, isn't this what we should do?"

ha?

Dazai Osamu showed a sarcastic expression towards his overly naive remarks, but facing those sincere eyes, the smile finally froze on his face.

"No way, are you serious?" Dazai Osamu said as if talking to himself, "You think I'm the kind of person who would play childish games with you to make friends? Stop kidding."

Yashiro nodded firmly, looking at him with her beautiful eyes.

"…Please spare me." Dazai Osamu murmured. He felt that it was a mistake for Yayo to appear here. Letting the male protagonist of a boys' comic come to a world like theirs was completely irrelevant, which led to the current predicament.

What's even more terrifying is that the charm of Xigao Yayoi as the protagonist really... attracted him a little bit.

"Let me figure it out. I have the most experience in saving the world." Yayoi extended her hand to him, showing a gentle smile, and slowly walked towards Dazai, "Don't you want to see that person's complete work?"

It was unknown what words finally touched him, and Dazai Osamu tentatively stretched out his hand. However, a gust of wind blew, and he, who was already unstable, fell backwards, his fingertips barely touching Yayoi's, and then he fell down like a broken butterfly.

"Mr. Dazai!" "Hey!"

Nakajima Atsushi and Akutagawa Ryunosuke both shouted subconsciously, except for Dazai Osamu, the strange boy who appeared inexplicably and jumped down without hesitation.

The wind whistled in her ears, and Yayoi held the hand that Dazai Osamu extended.

Feeling the touch in his hand, Dazai Osamu opened his eyes slightly. He saw Yayoi trying hard to open her mouth and seemed to say something to him.

[I caught you——]

He felt that this seemed to be a good idea, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

*

When Nakahara Chuuya came back from a business trip, he went to the private hospital of the Port Mafia to meet Dazai Osamu. Dazai Osamu had a habit of bandaging himself on weekdays, and this time he was really bandaged all over his body. Yayo, who was wearing a hat, was sitting beside him cutting rabbit apples. When she saw him coming, she greeted him happily.

"I heard that you jumped down from the building together." Nakahara Chuuya sat in the seat before Yayoi. The young man in the French suit looked fashionable and sophisticated, completely different from the messy leader who was recovering from his injuries in bed. "In the end...

You are the only one injured."

He deliberately used honorifics, and his mocking attitude was self-evident.

"There's nothing I can do." Yashiro sat on the edge of the bed and smiled at Nakahara Chuuya, "Although our ability systems are different and Dazai can't eliminate my ability, I can't use my ability on him either. Otherwise, just twenty or so fractures can be healed in less than ten seconds."

"I think it's good." Dazai Osamu said, not feeling how embarrassing the scene was at all, and said complacently, "Finally I can take a break. The process is different from what I thought, but it can be said that we have reached the same destination. Originally, the work during this period was entrusted to the doctor in this place, but now that Chuuya is back, I can completely hand over this responsibility to you."

He was about to scold Dazai Osamu passionately for handing the job to a doctor he didn't know the details of, but his face changed instantly after hearing the latter part of the sentence, and he immediately said, "Since the previous doctor did a good job, there is no need to change him midway."

"You should discuss this matter among yourselves." Dazai Osamu said casually without taking any power.

Nakahara Chuuya didn't want to continue this annoying topic of overtime, so he turned to Yayoi and said, "I don't think this hat suits you very well. If you want to choose a hat, I'll take you to a place later..."

"Don't pick it!"

As Nakahara Chuuya said this, he took off Yayoi's hat. Yayoi raised her hands to cover her head, but her ears, which looked very soft to the touch, still stuck out from between her fingers.

"Huh?"

"I tried my best! But this thing just won't go away." Yashiro said tearfully, her cat ears trembling in agreement. "Before, I was at most mistaken for a chuunibyou cosplayer on the street, but now I'll definitely be mistaken for a perverted cosplayer."

"puff."

“Isn’t it funny?”

"Indeed, having an extra ear like this is very troublesome."

"It's actually not that bad. If I hadn't come across it, I would often forget it was there..."

"Otherwise, let me take a picture and study it carefully."

"Hello……"!
