58 Kidnapped!

Help, everyone! The stray cat I picked up has kidnapped someone else's child. How should we handle this situation?

Mori Ogai picked up the child named Dazai Osamu last month. After a month of getting along with him, although the other party was often rude, liked to take medicine, and loved to try various suicide methods, the two of them had already developed a certain tacit understanding. He would no longer be left without food just because Dazai Osamu ate the instant noodles on his table.

Life has been going well up to this point.

Until that night, Mori Ogai, who failed to find Dazai Osamu in the clinic, only made himself a bowl of instant noodles in order to save food. Then he checked the medicine cabinet while waiting. When he came back, he found two teenagers staring at his instant noodles.

One is the Dazai Osamu he is familiar with, and the other is...

“Is this instant noodles?”

There was a hint of novelty and innocent yearning in the polite inquiry, coupled with the decent clothes and generous temperament, Sen Ouwai was sure that the other party must be a young master who was accidentally abducted, and this might be the first time the child left home.

"Dazai-kun, did you bring your good friend back?" As long as Moriogai wanted to, he could pretend to be all kinds of reliable people. For example, now he was portraying a mature parent to perfection. The joy, worry and embarrassment on his brow seemed real, without any trace of pretense. "Although I'm happy that Dazai-kun has a good friend to bring home to play with, it's so late now. His family might be worried."

"It's Mr. Mori—"

The drawn-out tone was full of indifference, and as the person being interrogated, Dazai Osamu didn't seem to want to explain at all.

In contrast, Baili Bian, who was brought back, seemed particularly polite. "Hello, Mr. Mori, I am Baili Bian."

But he also did not answer Mori Ogai's question, but just stood beside Dazai Osamu dutifully, playing the role of a polite guest.

In the end, the greedy adult who wanted to know more took a step back and offered to contribute the instant noodles on the table so that he and Dazai Osamu could make two more cups.

Bailibian had never had any experience with instant noodles before. No one in his family had ever cooked and they always ate out, so he believed Sen Ouwai's excuse that instant noodles required two people to eat together without any doubt.

When Dazai Osamu and Mori Ogai reached an agreement and came out with instant noodles together, what they saw was Bailibian, who looked doubtful about life, repeatedly stirring the instant noodles with a silver needle that he had taken out from somewhere.

Baili Bian couldn't understand why something that wasn't poisonous would taste so bad. He had never heard that time travel could destroy a person's taste buds.

After obtaining consent, he briefly tried the instant noodles in Mori Ogai and Dazai Osamu's hands - they tasted just as bad.

But they didn't think the taste was strange.

But after Sen Ouwai's examination, he judged that Bailibian did not have any taste problems, and then tactfully put forward his own point of view that Bailibian's requirements for food might be higher than he thought.

The limited space in the small clinic could neither spare an extra room for Bailibian who had suddenly arrived, nor was there any way to put up an extra bed for him. In addition to Dazai Osamu's promise in the agreement, Moriogai reasonably placed him and Dazai Osamu together.

Late at night, Bailibian, who couldn't fall asleep, looked at Dazai Osamu who closed his eyes. Finally, he climbed onto the bed without any hesitation, and then was pushed down rudely.

"Dazai, is there anything you want to eat?" Bailibian, who had received a small amount of money for buying groceries from Mori Ogai, asked softly. Even though he didn't get a reply, he knew that Dazai Osamu was not asleep either. He just couldn't sleep because he missed home, while Dazai Osamu was probably not used to it.

Sen Ouwai decided to keep Bailibian on the next day. At that time, Bailibian had not left the only pot, but Sen Ouwai had already keenly realized that the other party was a person with superpowers.

He wouldn't be so kind as to provide a strange kid with funds to try to cook.

His "guests" would not be so careless as to ignore the sound of cooking just across the wall.

The first time he cooked was a failure. Baili Bian could only make food that was not as inedible as last night.

But this doesn't seem to be the case for Mori Ogai, Dazai Osamu, and Alice.

Bailibian, who had the long-term right to cook, won the right to sleep in a bed before winter by offering a can of crab meat every week.

Only after losing something can people realize the value of the past.

After becoming the leader, Sen Ouwai was no longer the person that Bailibian would cook for him. Only on occasional festivals would he receive an invitation.

Dazai Osamu joined the Port Mafia when Moriogai first took office, while Hyakube joined after Nakahara Chuuya.

Bailibian, who often goes in and out of Leibo Street, had met Nakahara Chuuya, the King of Sheep, a long time ago. Although he hated Dazai Osamu, Nakahara Chuuya still had a certain good impression of Bailibian, especially after the other party helped him resolve the internal strife of the "sheep".

So before Rimbaud and Verlaine appeared, they reached a "five-year agreement" - Chuuya Nakahara would work for the port mafia for five years.

Looking at Dazai Osamu who was getting thinner and thinner as he went out early and came back late every day, and thinking of Nakahara Chuuya who was diligent and hardworking, Bai Libian asked Mori Ogai to join the Port Mafia - from then on he became the god who controlled the working hours of the Port Mafia.

Work five days a week and have two days off, annual leave, holiday leave, family leave, personal leave, sick leave, and vacation. Everyone except the boss has salary, dividends and bonuses, and some employees even enjoy an 8-hour work system.

"Ahhh, Baili is too nosy!" Dazai Osamu, who was forced to put on more clothes, expressed his dissatisfaction to Lupin, "And he also withheld my crab meat!"

But his complaints did not bring any comfort. Oda Sakunosuke and Sakaguchi Ango, who were already familiar with Dazai Osamu's behavior, even found a way to interrupt him tacitly.

"Is Baili still not off work today?"

Ever since Bailibian brought back Nakajima Atsushi from the Dragon Head War, Oda Sakunosuke has been communicating with him about the upbringing and education of children. In order to ensure that all the children in the family can receive formal education, he also accepted the suggestion and was promoted to the coach of the Black Lizard, specializing in the training of the fighting faction.

Although he also had children, Dazai Osamu was never interested in joining such conversations. Although he sent both Akutagawa Ryunosuke and Akutagawa Gin to Oda Sakunosuke, Oda Sakunosuke still gave them some extra care.

Dazai Osamu, whose spell was interrupted, lay down on the table bored, staring at his wine glass and replied, "He has something to discuss with Mr. Mori."

After joining the Port Mafia, Bai Libian was still used to calling Guan Sen Ouwai "Sir" instead of "Boss", and even Dazai Osamu was slowly brought back.

The Port Mafia needs a supernatural license to open a business. In exchange, it needs to solve Minmic for the Supernatural Special Agent Department.

This was a necessary and worthwhile deal, Mori Ogai was sure of it, and he thought that he was probably too influenced by Bailibian. Even though getting Dazai Osamu to leave the Port Mafia required dealing with many aspects, he shouldn't have hesitated for so long.

But just when he made up his mind to prepare, Moriowai received the news that all the members of Minmic had committed suicide.

Moriogai was not surprised by the strength of Bailibian's supernatural powers. As early as the time when Dazai Osamu went to negotiate for the route, he discovered that the other party could do far beyond his initial performance.

Looking at the young man who walked into the office, Mori Ouwai asked with a smile: "Is there anything Baili-kun want?" There was a considering light in his blood-red eyes. Mori Ouwai thought that Baili Bian would intervene for Dazai Osamu, but... it was too early.

"Is Mr. Mori worried that Dazai will usurp the throne?"

After many years, Sen Ouwai looked at Bailibian and found that he was still the same as before. The desolation in his childhood and the blood of the port mafia had not changed him at all. Bailibian still looked like a polite child who didn't realize that he had been kidnapped.

Sen Ouwai didn't answer, but this didn't affect Bailibian's efficiency. He still had to get off work.

"Adun has also decided to join the port mafia. He hopes to give the orphans in Yokohama a better life." While speaking, Bailibian casually raised his hand, revealing his cufflinks.

That was given to him by Sen Ouwai on the day he started working.

"Both Dazai and I feel that being the leader is too hard. Hisasaku and Atsushi also agree, and Chuuya and Akutagawa don't object either." Hyakubean paused, raised his head and looked at Mori Ougai who was sitting on the chair. In the dim light, neither of them could see the other's expression.

"I will never let Dazai be the leader. Atsushi and the others are still young and can't endure such hardship."

Mori Ougai has always known that Bailibian hates heavy work, which is one of the important reasons why he can rest assured - Bailibian will only skip work on a whim. Of course, this is also what he is worried about - Bailibian will take Dazai Osamu on strike because there is too much work.

It never occurred to him that Baili Bian might be willing to be the leader.

"So, Mr. Mori, you have to be the leader for at least another twenty years. You can consider these things after they grow up."

Of course Baili Bian doesn't want to be the leader. He is not a fool and he likes to work.

After being silent all night, Ango Sakaguchi followed Dazai Osamu and Oda Sakunosuke out of the bar, and met Momochi at the door who was on his way home from get off work - he was wearing the same beige windbreaker as Dazai Osamu.

Work is work, life is life.

Whenever it was time to get off work, Bailibian would at least change out of his outer black jacket, and he would also ask Dazai to change as well. Three years later, he still couldn't accept the corporate culture of the Port Mafia, which required them to wear black, but he also couldn't accept Ozaki Kouyo's suggestion.

At the moment of parting, Bailibian added a word of advice, "Mr. Sakaguchi's work content has changed a bit, please adjust in time."

There is no wind tonight, the stars are few but bright, and the moon is hidden in the gauze-like clouds, emitting a light that does not belong to it.

The two who had never been apart after spending a winter together built a movie theater with the saved room. Before the movie officially started, Bai Libian told Dazai Osamu a piece of news that he had been looking forward to.

"The PR officer said he had Chuuya make a cameo appearance in it."
