The aesthetics of violent gorillas

In a fleeting moment, the two men's eyes subtly changed. Chuuya suddenly remembered the comments he had ignored during the battle. He vaguely recalled that they were saying something about supporting Nakajima Atsushi. For the first time, Chuuya regretted not paying more attention to the comments during the battle. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had to recover his memory in such an awkward situation. Wasn't it supposed to be given to Dazai?

The moment his memories returned, Dazai understood what had happened in the past few days. As for the memories, it was probably because Atsushi had somehow gotten hold of the "book" and misunderstood something, leading him to act on his own. Looking at Chuuya, who was facing him and whose expression and movements were starting to stiffen slightly, Dazai smiled. Although he really wanted to tease Chuuya, thinking that he would definitely make a very interesting expression, he couldn't do it yet.

[Shouldn't the memories have been restored?]

It's normal that Dazai's expression doesn't reveal anything, but why doesn't Xiaozhong's expression show anything unusual either?

To this day, we still don't know exactly what Chuuya learned from Dostoevsky.

[Now that you've regained your memories, you'd better start cleaning up the mess!]

[Actually, before losing his memory, he was planning to confess his feelings, right? I'm really curious about his reaction when he regains his memories.]

No, actually it's because there was too much information and the process was too awkward, so I was petrified and didn't react immediately. After seeing your comments, it's even less likely that I would show a strange expression. Chuuya silently refuted the comments in his heart, while also being annoyed by their perverse sense of humor. Let's just forget about that kind of reckoning... How come he remembered that he was about to confess and welcome the happy ending? Where did this come from now? Although all of the above were just Chuuya's fantasies.

Oh no, oh no, this is terrible! That was Dazai's thought at that moment. Looking at Chuuya, who remained unchanged on the other side, Dazai could guess that Chuuya, this dark slug, had completely ignored the current situation. This is really troublesome!

It was Chuuya who brought this trouble upon himself, and now he's acting like nothing happened, waiting for someone else to clean up his mess? What a cunning little dwarf! My wounds hurt so much; Chuuya hit me so hard. Even if Chuuya wears a maid outfit and serves me tea and water after this is all over, it won't work.

Dazai sighed inwardly and tightened his grip on the dagger against Chuuya's back. Chuuya snapped back to reality the moment he sensed the threat, but his feelings were complicated, and he seemed unsure how to face Dazai.

"Although I could kill you with the thought of dying together, the idea of ​​committing suicide with that dark little dwarf makes me want to throw up!"

"Then you can try and see if your knife is faster or my hand is faster."

Although he didn't know what Dazai was acting out, the tacit understanding they had developed over the years allowed Chuuya to immediately follow suit and act out Dazai's genuine emotions. The familiar yet infuriating feeling caused Chuuya to tighten the hand that was originally gripping Dazai's neck, while the owner of the hand was frowning as he looked at the other person, feeling a slight pain from the knife piercing his skin on his back.

The same silence followed, a silent standoff between the two. The next second, they separated, and Chuuya's powers erupted as he ran in one direction. Not long after, Chuuya grabbed someone and came out. It was through the signal given by Dazai during the battle that Chuuya finally remembered Sigma, whom he had forgotten.

With a subtle expression, Chuuya dragged the man in front of Dazai, and handcuffed him with handcuffs he didn't know where the man had pulled out from. Chuuya was already used to this.

What should we do with this person?

"This is clearly Chuuya's new colleague, right? How could they be so heartless as to just knock him out like that?"

Listening to Dazai's sarcastic tone, Chuuya's lips twitched. Although they got along fairly well when he had amnesia, now that he had regained his memories and their positions were different, this was still an enemy organization that had caused him a great loss. Chuuya was not so kind as to hold back.

"Dazai!"

"Who knows how someone who's clearly the Mafia's ace gravity user could be so easily kidnapped? Chuuya, I don't believe you didn't notice anything amiss along the way."

"You clearly knew it was because of the 'book,' didn't you? And didn't you fall for it too?"

Dazai clicked his tongue and pressed it against his teeth to suppress the inexplicable irritation in his heart. Chuuya really is an idiot, isn't he?

Chuuya felt a little guilty. Although he had noticed something was wrong through the comments, or even from the very beginning, he figured he might as well go undercover and see what they were up to. In the end, he confronted Dazai directly and didn't even find the "book." But Chuuya would never reveal these things to Dazai so he wouldn't be laughed at.

[Just tell me what they're really thinking!]

[We've been apart for longer than we've been together, but we're still so in sync.]

Dazai's concerns should be expressed clearly.

[Actually, Dazai, you just took advantage of the fact that you didn't know anything about 'these are all unimportant memories' to make your juniors worry, so you simply used the "book" yourself.]

[That awkward feeling is so satisfying!]

[As expected, free things are the most expensive; Gogol has planted so many bombs on that tall building!]

[Chuuya! Headquarters is in danger!]

Without hounds to deal with that Sky Casino, the powder keg of the Five Signs of Decay is more than enough.

As if he also had something to hide from the other person, Chuuya decided not to use this to confront them. Seeing the comments later, Chuuya remembered the comment he had forgotten because of his memory recovery: "That madman!"

Chuuya's expression changed, and he no longer cared about wasting time with Dazai. He lightly touched the ground with his toes and used his superpower to quickly leave the underground and head towards the Mafia.

So what about the Mafia at this point?

Gogol was in a spot far from the blast radius, but still a great vantage point, holding something that looked like a microphone.

"Hello? Hello? Hello? Can you hear me? Never mind, listen up now. I've planted a lot of bombs in two of your buildings. If you don't want to be blown to bits, you have 30 seconds to evacuate. The countdown has started, so get out of there!"

An unfamiliar sound echoed throughout the Mafia headquarters building. Perhaps it was the enemy's perverse sense of humor, but the speakers, whose location was unknown, could be heard clearly in every building.

Ozaki Koyo: "Leader?"

Mori Ōgai: "Now arrange for everyone to prepare for evacuation!"

Finally, at the very last moment before the countdown ended, everyone evacuated the building. One of the buildings behind them exploded instantly, and the entire building burst into flames due to the large number of bombs. The other four buildings also experienced bomb explosions of varying degrees. Mori Ougai's expression was grim. The other party's claim that they had planted bombs in two buildings was a complete lie. In fact, every building had bombs, just in varying numbers.

Mori Ougai didn't know whether he should thank the other side for using just the right amount of bomb, which prevented it from affecting the other four buildings, or whether it was just that several missions happened to coincide today, and that there weren't many people left at headquarters, and with the other side's friendly reminder, there weren't many casualties.

"The five signs of decay in the celestial beings..."

The name of the organization swirled in Mori Ougai's mouth. Good, really good. It's been a long time since anyone dared to provoke the Mafia like this. This humiliation will be remembered by the Mafia.

A low laugh came from Mori Ougai's mouth, creating a vacuum around him, with only Ozaki Kouyou frowning as she looked at the still-burning building.

"leader!"

Akutagawa rushed over. He had a vague feeling that something was wrong when he heard the huge explosion in the coffee shop. This familiar feeling made Akutagawa instantly think of someone: the person he had just met at the explosion site of the headquarters attack a few days ago.

Akutagawa's expression was grim. He rushed out of the coffee shop almost instantly and saw the "spectacular" scene. Without any hesitation, Akutagawa ran towards the headquarters, leaving Atsushi Nakajima, whose expression was complicated, standing there.

[The sky fell when Akutagawa returned.]

What a brilliant feint!

[Chūya returns in style!]

Welcome home, Nakaya!

"leader."

A deep voice rang out, attracting the attention of all the high-ranking officials present. There was no other reason than that the voice was all too familiar.

"Ah! Looks like there's still good news, Chuuya-kun is back!"

"Chuya."

Mori Ougai smiled, his expression somewhat wistful, while Ozaki Koyo walked over to Chuuya and looked him up and down.

"Big sister, I'm back."

Zhong also smiled, feeling as if they had been reunited after a long separation, even though they hadn't been apart for long.

"Wow~ Who actually fulfilled my dream of so many years? No wonder Chuuya, that black slug, ran away so easily. It turns out the headquarters was bombed like this. I wonder if Mori-san will cry~"

"Then I'm really going to disappoint you, Dazai-kun."

A gasp of amazement rang out. The newcomer made no attempt to conceal his presence and strode over without being stopped.

Chuuya: "You dare to come all by yourself? You're really brave, Dazai!"

"Oh dear, you surely know, right? While you were wagging your tail for everyone else, the Mafia and the Detective Agency already reached a truce~"

"Damn Dazai!"

"I was right! Chuuya is still wearing that ugly white suit and that same old hat. I really can't understand Chuuya's sense of aesthetics."

"They clearly didn't have time to change!"

As Dazai and Chuuya bickered as usual, Ozaki Kouyou watched them with a smile. Even though so many years had passed, these two kids hadn't changed at all.

Mori Ougai: "So the detective agency found the 'book'?"

"I really want to answer Mr. Mori, but unfortunately, I don't know what happened either~"

"I don't know much about the leader either, it's just that... anyway, he suddenly regained his memories."

[It's so good to have a good family of origin!]

[Dazai still hasn't let Mori-san off the hook after all this time?]

Dazai still didn't let the dog-shaped Chuuya off the hook.

[Isn't it me, Dazai, who's wagging his tail in hatred?]

I know it's our best MVP, DunDun.

Actually, Bai Zhong looks really good!

Chuuya belatedly realized something was off, so why did they restore his memories when they were fighting to the death?!

And then there was Dazai's infuriating statement just now, and Chuuya's suspicious silence. That bastard deserved it. These few beatings without any mercy were enough to make Dazai suffer for a while. For now, he would not pursue the matter of that bastard bullying him again.

"So it really was true..."

In the open space, the murmur was not obvious, but the people present were no ordinary people, and they almost instantly grasped that this was probably the key information.

"It seems like Akutagawa knows something."

Dazai's gaze immediately locked onto Akutagawa, who had uttered those words, with a hint of amusement in his eyes. If Akutagawa had received the "book" and hadn't given it to him, he might have given it to Chief Mori. But the fact that Akutagawa used it himself made things quite interesting.

"Akutagawa-kun? If you know anything, please tell me. I'm curious too~"

"Yes, Chief... That's how it is. I didn't know that person had attacked headquarters. It was my fault."

Mori Ougai: "But if these costs can bring back our ace, then it's really a worthwhile deal."

Chuuya: "As expected, free things are the most troublesome."

Mori Ougai cut off Akutagawa's next words, smilingly glossing over the bombing of the headquarters. At least, that's what he genuinely believed. But he didn't say that the matter was over and done with, since the mafia is known for its stinginess.

Although Chuuya already knew almost everything that had happened, he still couldn't help but complain when he heard this. He felt that sometimes the comments on the screen were really insightful.

"Then I'm curious, why didn't Akutagawa and Atsushi hand it over to Mori-san, but instead chose to use it themselves?"

Dazai raised his hand curiously and asked a question.
