This is a bit bad...

However, Dazai didn't give Chuuya any time to react and immediately continued speaking.

"But I don't really like desserts that much, so just bring me canned crab."

While Dazai was still fantasizing about the impossible, Chuuya, who had finally realized what was happening, was already furious, though he was a little guilty.

"Huh? What does Dazai think I am, some kind of turtle in a wishing well? Do you think I'd bring you canned food?"

"Chuuya, that's so mean~ Chuuya already bought these for Ranpo-san, it wouldn't be a problem for him to buy them for me too, even if he didn't come specifically to deliver them to me~"

"No way! It was just a coincidence before. It will never happen again. Don't even think about it."

"Huh? I see~ Is it just a coincidence that it happened twice in a row?"

"Otherwise, what did you think?! How was I supposed to know that the detective just happened to like this kind of thing?"

After saying this, Naka slapped Dazai's hand away and prepared to get up, but Dazai lost his balance because of it.

From the moment he was twisted up, to the moment he grabbed his wrist, this guy was like a soft-bodied animal, relying entirely on Chuuya for all the strength to support his body. So now, when Chuuya withdrew his hand, Dazai lost his balance and fell backward.

Dazai's lips curled into a malicious smile as he reached out to grab Chuuya's clothes. Taking advantage of his height and long arms, he easily caught Chuuya's clothes.

"Hey! You bastard!"

Caught completely off guard, Chuuya was pulled back by this sudden movement. He instinctively tried to use his special ability to stabilize his body, but Dazai was not about to let Chuuya succeed so easily.

After tugging at Chuuya's clothes, taking advantage of Chuuya's unsteady body, she touched Chuuya's skin that was not covered by clothes.

The red aura representing gravity on Chuuya's body flickered and then abruptly stopped and went out. His hat, which was no longer supported by gravity and Chuuya was now in danger, floated to the ground. Dazai's eyes were full of the pleasure of a prankster's success.

bump!

puff.

Two different sounds of hitting the ground rang out, and Dazai unsurprisingly fell to the ground, landing on the back of his head.

Chuuya also fell in the end, but he managed to change the direction of his fall by using his superior physical skills to create a cushion for himself.

Dazai, who had been slightly straining to lift his head, was stunned by Chuuya's sudden action and fell hard. However, his instinctive action of protecting Chuuya resulted in him holding him tightly.

"Chuuya's gone too far! I'm so weak~"

"Huh? Isn't it because you deliberately pulled me?"

Chuuya, who had been falsely accused, asked incredulously.

"If you had been in the original position, Chuuya wouldn't have been able to hit me. It's all Chuuya's fault for changing his position without permission."

Dazai spoke with an air of self-righteousness, making no mention of the fact that he was the one who had initially acted arrogantly.

[Dazai: No matter what, just blame it all on Chuuya.]

[Dazai is turning the tables on us.]

[Has nobody mentioned this pose?]

[I'm not saying anything more, it's too much.]

Chuuya, who was still in the position of falling on Dazai, was reminded by the comments and looked up to see the blue gem on Dazai's bow tie.

I suddenly remembered that some viewers in the live chat said that this guy chose the blue gemstone because he was nostalgic for him, since his eyes were blue, like a meal replacement.

"If you don't remove my superpower, how could I fall down?"

Chuuya softened his tone, but still spoke in a less than friendly manner.

"Even if you don't slap my hand away, I won't fall..."

Dazai, noticing the change in Chuuya's tone, looked down with some confusion. Just then, Chuuya shifted his gaze from the sapphire to Dazai, and the two locked eyes.

The eyebrows and eyes, not hidden by the hat's shadow, appeared slightly softer in the moonlight, revealing her delicate, doll-like face. When Dazai looked over, he was met with those beautiful blue eyes, as if he were sinking into a blue sea. Dazai felt as if he had just finished soaking in a hot spring and was now in a sauna.

This is bad... Dazai suddenly realized, is it almost summer? Why is it so hot and so cold? I think I caught a cold when I went into the water earlier, otherwise why would my heart be beating so fast, like it's going to jump out of my throat, and I'm having some difficulty breathing? Could it be that Chuuya is too heavy and is making it hard for him to breathe? This is really bad... This feeling, being sick is so troublesome.

"I really hate Chuuya the most... So Chuuya, just get out of my sight already. I really hate Chuuya for disturbing my swim late at night..."

"Who would be so kind as to go to the dock and enter the water at night, especially choosing my mission location? Who knows if you have ulterior motives? People who don't know the situation will think you came to see me on purpose. Besides, you are the guy I hate the most."

"It should have been Chuuya who appeared where I entered the water, right? Who would come to see a dark hat rack on their own initiative?"

"Hehe, do you want to spar with me in some martial arts?"

Zhongye sneered. He had indeed been overthinking things. This man was none other than Dazai Osamu.

"A dark hat rack with violent tendencies."

Dazai remained unmoved and even added to the previous description.

"You damn mackerel! You're just a bandage-wasting machine. Even if you really turned into a fish, you'd still be wrapped in bandages all over your body! And get your claws off me!"

Chuuya reverted to his irritable state, even angrier than before. He had just remembered that this person was still grabbing his clothes, which reminded him of how he had fallen.

This sentence reminded Dazai, who suddenly realized that the distance between the two of them seemed too... too close. Dazai pulled his hand back abruptly as if he had been burned.

I actually ended up hugging a puppy. It must have been Chuuya who offered himself up. The slimy slug was disgusting.

Dazai would never admit to having any fault of his own; no matter how many faults he made, it must all be Chuuya's fault.

"Didn't Chuuya throw himself into my arms? I only pulled him to make him fall, but he actually fell on me. However, for the sake of our partnership, I didn't let him fall to the ground. Chuuya should be thanking me."

"I've made such a huge sacrifice, hugging a slimy slug, and I feel all sticky now. I'm definitely going to take 800 showers when I get back!"

Dazai nodded seriously, while Chuuya was exasperated and clicked his tongue.

"You're the one who threw yourself at me, I'll definitely kill you, you bastard Dazai!"

As Dazai pulled back, Chuuya promptly stood up. Dazai also sat up, changed his posture, and looked at Chuuya. He had said that he would not leave Chuuya's sight on his own initiative, and even if he did leave, it should be Chuuya who left.

You know what I'm trying to say.

I have no interest in hugging or cuddling with men.

I have no interest in hugging or cuddling with men.

...

"But it seems like Chuuya hasn't beaten me yet~"

Dazai's usual smile vanished, his brows furrowed, and he became serious, looking rather dangerous—no, extremely dangerous, at least in a way that made it clear he was a dangerous person.

If Atsushi Nakajima saw Dazai like this, he would probably be quite surprised, since it was so different from his usual frivolous demeanor that he might suspect that Dazai had been possessed.

But Chuuya wasn't intimidated, and he ignored the comments. This was the Dazai he knew best. Chuuya gave a mocking smile.

"Finally stopped pretending? I thought you would always keep up that nice guy act."

"Oh dear, Chuuya, that's really too much! I'm so upset."

"I will definitely kill you."

Chuuya gritted his teeth and squeezed out the words, then turned around, picked up his hat, and put it on.

"I'll be waiting then, Chuuya~"

Dazai cupped his hands together, making a megaphone shape, and shouted at Chuuya, who was walking away.

He didn't look back, and after a few leaps, he was far away.

[You two should be together]

[My nemesis is the one who will become my wife]

I don't like hugging and cuddling with men.

[I laughed so hard I almost died, Dazai was the one hugging me the tightest.]

[Dazai must have had a really blast!]

Looking at these comments, Chuuya was a little speechless. However, Dazai's behavior was indeed a bit suspicious. But Chuuya still didn't consider the possibility that Dazai liked him, after all, he was already Dazai Osamu.
