Fate...

However, now that Chuuya has finally arrived in Yokohama, a city he has been so fortunate to visit, countless complex emotions well up within him.

I can't quite describe the feeling. According to my memory, I shouldn't have been here before, but when I stood on this land, the tension that had been building up since I woke up finally eased.

Just like a child going into its mother's arms, it all feels so nostalgic yet so strange.

Chuuya's eyes darkened, and the authenticity of the comments seemed even more real, since they were his own subconscious bodily reactions, something that couldn't be changed.

If Zhong hadn't seen those comments and hadn't known the truth, he would never have doubted anything given his personality. But Zhong did see them.

...But does this mean I've infiltrated the enemy's ranks?

Chuuya looked at the unruly Nikolai in front of him and was speechless for a moment, then turned to look at Sigma.

Sometimes I still can't understand how Dostoevsky has managed to keep this organization going for so long, and how it hasn't been destroyed by Nikolai's daily whims.

"What's wrong with Zhongyuan-jun?"

Seemingly sensing the unusual behavior of the person next to him, Sigma, who had been keeping his head down to minimize his presence, turned around and asked quietly.

"It's okay, I'm just a little nervous since it's my first time here."

Surprisingly perceptive, Chuuya regained his usual expression.

"Chuuya-kun—!!! Are you hurt?! Or are you like this?! If my best friend knew that I got hurt right after bringing Chuuya out, he'd be in real trouble! So, I might as well just kill you all~"

As he was talking, Nikolai seemed to suddenly have a good idea, so he held up one finger and said with a smile.

However, after spending more than ten days together, I've become used to it. Even if Nikolai really makes a move, I can guarantee my safety, which is the real reason I'm not afraid.

Meanwhile, Sigma, who was standing next to him, was clearly unable to protect himself and his expression turned terrified as he hid behind Chuuya. However, Chuuya's height was obviously not enough to hide his 180cm tall new colleague, making the scene comical.

[Hahaha! Reliable Chuuya]

Konishi tries to have Chuuya block her way.

"But I'm not injured! Don't talk nonsense!"

[Xiao Zhong is gradually developing into a comedic character.]

"Ah! That's a real shame. But my suggestion was excellent. However, Chuuya-kun only just escaped that cage-like place. If I do this and Dostoevsky stops me, it will be difficult for Chuuya-kun to get out again next time! Thinking about it makes Chuuya-kun even more pitiful. For Chuuya-kun's freedom..."

"You can't beat me. The only result will be that I capture you and take you back, and then you'll be confined to your quarters by Tuosijun."

Chuuya calmly revealed the terrifying truth, and Nikolai's smile vanished, his eyes fixed on Chuuya.

"Zhongyuan-kun, are you threatening me?!"

"No, I'm only thinking about your long-term freedom in the future."

Chuuya looked away, denying Nikolai's statement. He didn't want his Yokohama trip, which hadn't even begun, to end like this.

If even Zhong gives a definite yes, then it's all over. Although Zhong could definitely beat Gogol, the reconnaissance mission would be ruined.

[So handsome! Even though I don't remember him, Chuuya still feels familiar.]

Perhaps Chuuya's words persuaded Nikolai, because Nikolai didn't discuss the matter with Chuuya for the rest of the time, and instead turned to talk to Sigma.

Seeing Sigma's utterly dejected expression and the pleading look in his eyes, Chuuya looked away. "What a beautiful day," he thought.

【There's no other way; it's better for a fellow Daoist to die than for this humble monk to perish】

I'm sorry, Sigma, just bear with it.

[Chūya is even more lively after losing his memory!]

"Today's mission... will be handled by Atsushi Nakajima and Kagami."

"Let's go with Dazai!"

Before Kunikida could finish speaking, Ranpo, who was munching on snacks next to him, interrupted him. However, the words of a famous detective still have some value, so Kunikida and the others from the detective club all turned to look at Ranpo.

"Ah~ Ah! Me and Atsushi-kun? It's just a simple missing persons case, surely it doesn't require me to come along~"

Dazai was sprawled on the sofa, looking languid. Hearing this, he removed the book from his face and looked up at Ranpo with interest.

"I want you to go."

Ranpo didn't want to explain anything. He had already given such a generous reminder that Dazai should buy snacks to thank the famous detective. How could he still question the famous detective? After emphasizing it again, Ranpo turned around and faced away from Dazai to continue eating snacks.

"Alright, we'll listen to Ranpo-san. It'll be Atsushi and you. Don't refuse. Dazai, you've already missed too many missions."

Kunikida unconditionally supported Ranpo's proposal, arguing that Mr. Ranpo would never joke about such a thing.

"Ah! Actually, I wasn't planning to refuse. I've been lying in the office so much lately that my bones are about to give way. It's a good opportunity to go out for a stroll."

"Dazai!!"

After saying that, Dazai stood up from the sofa, stretched, ignored Kunikida who was furious at his casual remark, and left, leaving Atsushi Nakajima looking around, hesitating for a moment before chasing after Dazai.

"Dazai-san! We're going on this mission together! Wait for me..."

The sound traveled through the walls and into the office, where Kunikida sighed helplessly.

"Dazai's amnesia this time is nothing different except that he forgot about Nakahara Chuuya."

"Why must Mr. Dazai go on this mission?"

Kyoka calmly looked at Ranpo, who had suddenly made the suggestion, and the latter frowned and thought about it.

"Well, although Dazai has always been indifferent about his amnesia, this is a rare opportunity, so I'm letting Dazai go see Hat-kun in person. The great detective is also very curious about Dazai's reaction to seeing Hat-kun now that he has amnesia!"

"To put it bluntly, you just want to see Dazai have his fun, right? But it's rare to see Ranpo take this kind of thing so seriously."

Yosano silently complained from the side.

[Yeah, Ranpo is rarely interested in these kinds of things.]

It's good to watch for fun, I like watching it too.

It seems the two will run into each other again.

[Taiyuan is truly a matter of fate!]

Dazai has practically worn out all those photos on the dark web, while Chuuya doesn't even know what people look like.

Chuuya looked at the comments thoughtfully. They seemed certain that he would meet that person this time. However, he was on Dostoevsky's supervision this time, and his appearance was completely different from before. He even wore colored contact lenses. Even if they met, the other person might not recognize him.

And I can use these textual reminders to secretly observe the other party without having to worry about the risk of being exposed here, which is pretty good.

At this point, Chuuya had no idea how far his trip to Yokohama would go.

Just like now, Chuuya is holding a bunch of balloons, sitting on a carousel, looking at Nikolai who is standing on the horse in front of him, cheering excitedly, with a look of utter despair, and falls into deep thought.

Sigma, sitting on another horse, listened to the staff outside trying to dissuade Nikolai, his head almost buried in his chest.

Sigma: I really don't know this person!

[Chuuya appears calm, but he's actually been walking for a while.]

[You don't remember being bullied, right?]

[i-people are indeed just toys for e-people]

But actually, there's also the reason you guys are involved, Chuuya thought to himself. Yes, just as Chuuya and the others were hesitating about where to go, a family with a child and a balloon tied to their hand passed by them.

Seeing the light that flashed in Nikolai's eyes, Chuuya and Sigma felt a sudden pang of fear in their hearts. It was all over.

Sure enough, the next second Nikolai suggested going to an amusement park, which was reasonable and well-founded, since they were there to have fun.

The comments section was filled with messages like "I really want to see him go," "The amusement park is fun," and "Fulfilling a dream" and such. So, although Chuuya had a vague feeling that something was wrong, he didn't object. Moreover, he was also a little curious. So, the minority yielded to the majority, which led to the current situation.

The barrage of "hahaha" comments was all mocking himself; he really needed to find a way to solve his memory problem quickly.

This is also the real reason why Chuuya chose to stay in the Five Signs of Decay even though he already knew about his original organization and the people he knew from the comments. After all, he had finally managed to infiltrate the enemy's ranks, so of course he wanted to make the most of the opportunity.

"Chuuya-kun! Sigma! Let's go play that game!"

Nikolai pointed to the roller coaster in the distance and said excitedly.

"I think I might be a little afraid of heights..."

"Then it's a good time to do desensitization training."

"No……"

"Chūya-kun, our partner Sigma is afraid of heights! Let's take him for desensitization training!"

Sigma's faint protest was drowned out by Nikolai's excited voice.

[From wanting to ride a roller coaster to undergoing desensitization for Sigma, what a clever trick!]

[I feel that Chuuya's ability is gravity itself, so he probably wouldn't be interested in these things.]

However, she didn't refuse when she went on the carousel just now.

Is it because I didn't have a childhood, so even with amnesia, my subconscious still wants to play?

Poor little Zhong, his mother's love is overflowing...

[I feel like Chuuya's amnesia has its advantages. If he had his memories back, he probably wouldn't have put aside his pride to do these things. And this is a good opportunity for Chuuya, the workaholic, to take a break.]

[I have to commend Boss Tuo on this point; a capable leader rarely delegates tasks to subordinates.]

[It seems like he was completely trained by Gogol.]

Chuuya paused for a moment, agreeing with the comments. In the time they had spent together, Chuuya had truly felt the troublesome aspects of Nikolai. However, he was genuinely curious about these things, so Chuuya did not refuse Nikolai's invitation.

However, in reality, the speed at which it came out was a bit too fast, and Chuuya didn't really feel any excitement. This might be a rare downside of being an ability user, but it seems not so bad. Chuuya looked at the balloon that Nicolai had forcibly tied to his wrist and smiled.
