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...
That man has cheat codes
Chuuya returned to his office, his mind still replaying the last words the leader had said to him.
Because of the system, I already knew about this news two years ago. My reaction just now was just a subconscious attitude towards that guy. But what was the deeper meaning behind what the leader just said?
Chuuya rubbed his temples. He still hated people with sharp minds the most. He had been dealing with that rat every day, and all those intricate and endless schemes had made him used to thinking.
Chuuya didn't want to think about it anymore. Based on the idea that the leader would never harm him, Chuuya decided to find an opportunity to confront Dazai head-on.
This is the kind of reaction I would make; I'd like to see what kind of laughs that mackerel can bring me this time.
After making the decision happily, Chuuya did not start working immediately. He suddenly suggested leaving because the long-lost bullet comments had reappeared. In order not to let the leader notice his abnormality, he could only suppress the surprise and joy in his eyes at that time.
Only now did Chuuya have the chance to observe carefully. Based on the information he had gleaned from a quick glance, Chuuya roughly knew that the camera was now focused on a person named Atsushi, who was also the so-called protagonist.
Chuuya's pupils dilated, his eyebrows twitched slightly, and a sudden surge of interest appeared in his eyes, as if he had found a fun prey.
[Warning: High-energy content ahead!]
Dazai will be passing by in a little while.
【Dun is so cute, baby, you are such an adorable baby】
[We're going to steal from you, Dazai!]
I never expected that guy would be involved here. It looks like Dazai is about to be robbed.
Chuuya sat up straight, adopting a posture of watching a good show, his gloating expression couldn't be more obvious.
The mackerel is swimming over.
Dazai's wallet must have been washed away by the river long ago.
Atsushi is truly kind; even when he was so hungry he had no strength left, he still thought of rescuing people who had fallen into the water. And indeed, the tiger-man is a skilled swimmer.
【Da Xintai, you…】
Chuuya suddenly noticed an important comment: "Is this the man-eating tiger? Interesting. He doesn't seem as ferocious as his nickname suggests."
Chuuya also showed a thoughtful expression. But did Dazai Osamu know something in advance? He had worked with Dazai for three years, and although they hadn't seen each other for four years, Chuuya didn't believe that this person would do anything without a reason, let alone commit suicide and be saved by the target.
Dazai's voice is really nice.
That dead mackerel spoke so casually and frivolously; are the people in that world all blind?
What are you talking about with such a serious face when you're introducing this to a minor?
I bet he's telling people about his various suicide attempts again; he's incorrigible.
[He hasn't eaten for days. No wonder he's a superhuman, he hasn't even fainted yet.]
Because he didn't master his superpower, he couldn't even find a job or afford to eat.
Based on the comments, Chuuya, who initially had a good impression of Atsushi, decided that he could treat him to a meal sometime in the future. If Akutagawa really brought him back, he could also guide him in mastering his superpower and take him to get his eyes checked.
[To actually have expectations of Dazai is just too naive.]
However, even though Dazai's wallet keeps getting emptied by the internet, he doesn't seem to be short of money.
Wow, it's the reliable Kunitani-san's mom!
If Kunikida were to insult me even once...
Doesn't Dazai ever feel guilty when he takes someone else's money to treat others?
Seeing the last comment, I scoffed disdainfully, "Honesty, that guy probably doesn't even have that thing."
【Wadaxi Dazai, Dazai Osamu】
Children are coming to see world-famous paintings.
Where dreams begin
...
Completely unprepared, Naka was bombarded with a barrage of praise for Dazai.
His expression alternated between green and blue, and after a long while, he finally let out a soft sound.
"ha?!"
Through this experience, I also discovered a downside to this barrage of comments: you can't turn it off at will. Although you can choose not to look at it, you still feel inexplicably bothered by it.
Chuuya was also overwhelmed by the barrage of comments, and remembering that he hadn't finished reading the document, he continued working.
I still can't accept that so many people like that mackerel.
It was already dark when Chuuya put down the last document.
Looking up at the sky, the barrage of comments was still relentlessly scrolling.
[The silly child thought he was almost killed by a tiger, but actually the tiger was himself.]
[Dazai probably guessed it by now, right?]
I'm really curious about the architecture in Yokohama. There's an abandoned warehouse right next to such an obvious bridge. It's so conspicuous, I wonder if anyone accidentally wanders into it?
It's just a difference in perspective; looking at it from a different angle should reveal a different picture.
Chuuya stood up, stretched, and a mischievous smile appeared on his lips. He had been sitting all day; it was time to stretch his legs.
Now that he knew the approximate location, Chuuya decided to go and join in the fun, since text-based broadcasts are nothing compared to live streaming.
When Chuuya left headquarters, he ran into Motojiro Kajii, and Chuuya even got a few lemon bombs from him.
However, Atsushi cannot control his superpower yet; his passive transformation will only occur when the moon rises.
[The detective club members will all be tricked into coming by Dazai's little note soon.]
[Ranpo! Ranpo!]
When Chuuya, who was on his way, saw this comment, he paused slightly. If he remembered correctly, the system had mentioned that there was an ordinary person with a god-like perspective working at this detective agency.
However, Chuuya, who had never faced Ranpo Neko directly before, was still too unprepared despite his efforts.
The abandoned warehouse near the bridge was a very accurate clue; Chuuya found it on the second warehouse he looked for.
Because Chuuya had already seen comments on the live stream about how he got there while he was still nearby, he found a place with a good view without revealing his whereabouts.
Looking down from here, you can see a white-haired boy with a distinctive haircut, and there's another person hidden in the shadows. Chuuya can't see him very clearly, but he knows that the person in that place is Dazai Osamu.
【Wait, this isn't right】
[Oh my god, there's even a scene involving Chuuya here!]
【???】
Am I hallucinating?
Chuuya lowered his hat brim and sat on a rooftop not far away, waiting for the moon to appear. From time to time, several indistinct voices could be heard coming from the warehouse.
It's about to start.
[It has appeared, the White Tiger!]
Yokohama's specialty product, Blue Moon.
Chuuya looked up at the moon and saw that it was indeed very beautiful.
But Chuuya quickly turned his gaze back to the warehouse. Under the moonlight, Atsushi Nakajima was surrounded by a blue halo, his flesh began to swell, his clothes were stretched open, and he completely transformed into a tiger.
Chuuya couldn't help but get excited. No wonder the leader was so interested in the man-eating tiger. If he turned into a tiger, his recovery ability and physical fitness would be enhanced. He really wanted to fight it.
Chuuya stared intently at the tiger-transformed Nakajima Atsushi, who was dealing with Dazai, his fighting spirit ignited.
After transforming into a tiger, Atsushi Nakajima was very perceptive. He noticed the burning gaze and turned to meet Chuuya's eyes, but was quickly drawn back by Osamu Dazai.
Compared to Chuuya in the distance, it was this person in front of him who was chattering incessantly that he wanted to tear to pieces.
[Immediately, an iconic scene is about to unfold!]
[No Longer Human! Cheat Passive Skill]
I don't like hugging and cuddling with men.
[Remember this sentence, it will be on the test]
Just follow Chuuya's lead.
[Dazai, turn around and look!]
Chuuya didn't miss this scene either, and had to admit that it was very entertaining. Chuuya was just annoyed by Dazai's expression.
Just as Chuuya finished watching the show and was about to leave, a person ran over from not far away. Chuuya remembered that his name was Kunikida Doppo, and he was Dazai's current partner.
Remembering that the comments said all the members of the detective club would be there, Chuuya stayed behind with the idea of gathering information and also to see the famous detective.
【Hey, Chuuya's still here? Ranpo's coming soon.】
Is it due to a lack of information?
[Run, that guy has a cheat code!]
