18-year-old Chuuya Nakahara unexpectedly gains a bullet comment system and learns that his world is actually an anime. He discovers that his beloved city will repeatedly face major crises in the fu...
Family Brother Position
"The 'group' will be arriving in Yokohama soon, so please feel free to contact us anytime for help!"
Mori Ougai held his phone, lost in thought. It was indeed important information, but what particularly caught his attention was the last sentence Dazai wrote.
Dazai wouldn't speak without reason, especially since this was a hint given by a Dazai who remained in the mafia, which forced Mori Ōgai to take it seriously.
Mori Ougai did not trust Dazai, but he trusted Chuuya, who was also a leader.
After facing ridicule from his counterpart in another world, a beating from his apprentice, and a kind greeting from Sister Momiji, Armed Detective Dazai finally realized something was wrong before he even met any of the executives and broke out of prison.
Meanwhile, the executive is currently enjoying a delicious dinner with Dazai Chuuya, but in reality, looking at the harmonious atmosphere between the two opposite him, the executive is finding it hard to eat.
It's truly a stomachache to see one person with their own face and another with Dazai's face sitting together eating harmoniously.
[I'm dying of laughter! Those stomach-ache expressions on the faces of these cadres!]
Seeing this scene during a time when he disliked Dazai the most must have been a bit awkward for Chuuya.
[This Dazai is even worse off than in the original story; not only did he not see Chuuya, but he was also interrogated by Momiji.]
People's joys and sorrows are not shared.
Dazai watched the tragic news broadcast in the live chat, his eyes narrowing with pleasure, and the food in his mouth tasted even better.
The cadre took a few bites and put down his utensils, then looked at Chuuya and the other person with curiosity.
"How did you become the leader?"
“Our world experienced a major crisis, and after the crisis ended, Mr. Mori retired.”
Chuuya succinctly explained the background and identity that Dazai had given him.
"As a result, the first thing Chuuya did after becoming the leader was to bring me, the traitor, back. In order to atone for my sins, I volunteered to become a military member of the organization. Because of my dangerousness, Chuuya arranged for me to be by his side to supervise me personally. That was roughly how it was."
As for the hidden storylines of spending a lot of time together, developing feelings over time, and eventually willingly binding herself to stay by Chuuya's side, we don't need to tell Chuuya about those.
But it's still good for making that coward jealous.
Because it is similar to his own world, Dazai understands the counterparts of this world better, so it can only be said that none of them are innocent.
And he, Dazai Osamu, could never in his lifetime assist his counterpart, not even in the slightest way, in helping Chuuya to awaken his enlightenment.
The cadre nodded thoughtfully, believing the reason, but then became somewhat worried.
Chuuya noticed the other's emotions. "Are you worried? But our worlds are different. At this point, I've already become the leader."
Chuuya offered a simple word of comfort to the cadre, saying that he had always had a good attitude towards his counterparts, after all, he wasn't the kind of person who took pleasure in tormenting them.
"Then I'll take my leave now. I hope you have a great time."
After obtaining the information he wanted, the cadre bid farewell to the two men, not wanting to stay any longer, fearing that seeing this scene too much would give him nightmares.
"It's been so long, I wonder if that guy has escaped yet. I hope he doesn't betray my trust!"
Once the cadres left, Dazai dropped his pretense and revealed a blatant schadenfreude.
"Actually, at that time, besides the anger I felt towards you for years because you left without saying goodbye, and the desire to get revenge on you, I also felt a bit of longing and curiosity, since I hadn't seen you in a long time."
Chuuya recalled the situation at the time, wondering if the executives would go back and find that the person had run away again, and then immediately go to the detective agency.
"With that around, Chuuya should know everything about me, right?"
Dazai asked curiously. Although the information given by the comments was fragmented, it was still possible to piece together what had happened.
"I only knew part of it. It hadn't started yet, and it wasn't always like it is now. Also, in order to avoid business trips four years later, I probably worked diligently and conscientiously in Europe for four years."
Chuuya sighed, finally confirming the truth that he had been traveling for work for the past four years. His feelings were mixed; he hadn't expected to actually be tied up by business trips.
[The officers arrived empty-handed, and the armed detective, Zai, ran away because Chuuya never showed up.]
Poor Dazai, please wait another lifetime.
What kind of riddle are they spouting?
"No wonder the tracker I put on you kept showing that you were in Europe. It briefly flashed once, but I still received a message from your executive that you were making a round trip that same day. Later, I found out from Kunikida that Chuuya had secretly come to see me."
Dazai suddenly realized what was going on, but the air suddenly went silent. Dazai immediately realized that he had let something slip.
"Locator?"
"Wait, Chuuya, I can explain. Let me explain."
The next second, under Chuuya's kind smile, Dazai, with a freshly baked bun on his head, began to defend himself.
"At the time, I planned to blow up Chuuya's car, but I was afraid of being retaliated against, so I installed a locator on Chuuya beforehand."
But that locator could only roughly show where Chuuya was! Otherwise, how could I not have known that Chuuya was hiding on the sidelines watching the show?
Even if I got a definite clue from Kunikida later, I still couldn't be sure it was Chuuya. After all, if it were Chuuya back then, he would definitely have beaten me up first!
"And I dismantled it on the night of the Double Black Resurrection." Of course, he was also afraid of going too far and being hunted down by Chuuya.
Chuuya snorted coldly, and another symmetrical red envelope appeared on Dazai's head.
"Chuuya went too far. He knows so much about my whereabouts, and I didn't say anything. Chuuya is hypocritical. He's so violent. How could he treat me like this?"
Dazai covered the two bumps on his head and, with tears streaming down his face, began to chirp.
"Um?"
With just one syllable, Chuuya stopped Dazai from finishing his sentence.
This is the role of the younger brother in a family!
[Dazai must have single-handedly supported many manufacturers of listening devices, GPS trackers, and surveillance cameras in Yokohama, right?]
[Dazai, hurry up and thank Chuuya!]
[If there's nothing wrong, just follow Chuuya under the bed. When you get to Dazai, remember to use more force on the bed/on top.]
The moment this comment appeared, the relaxed atmosphere around the two of them suddenly became a little awkward. How could things have progressed so quickly? They hadn't thought about these things when they were lying in bed together, just chatting under the covers. Besides, Dazai had his own little schemes.
In fact, Chuuya had long been used to these shameless comments, but the thought that Dazai could now see these comments made Chuuya feel his face burning up, and he inexplicably felt a sense of social dread.
