Chapter 33 Birthday Party

After completing his mission, Dazai Osamu was originally planning to go into the water, but thinking of some strange movements within the port mafia in the past two days, he decided to go back to the office first to see what they were planning to do.

Unlike other companies that promote based on seniority, the Port Mafia mainly looks at performance. As a result, Dazai Osamu, who was not even fifteen years old, had his own office because of his 100% mission completion rate.

Even though he doesn't use it much.

Tsk, he really needs to develop his intelligence network, otherwise he would have known what these people were up to by now. The port mafia is really rubbish.

Dazai Osamu returned to the Minato-Kuro Building with great interest and stopped in front of his office.

It may not be very obvious to ordinary people, but in his eyes, his door is full of loopholes.

——It’s obvious that it has been pried open!

He suddenly felt a little speechless.

Are you bored? Why do you hire someone to pick his lock?

But since he had already gone to the step of picking the lock, there must be something waiting for him inside. Dazai Osamu paused slightly, and opened the door with a subtle mood.

“Bang! Bang!”

A mess of colored ribbons fell all over his head.

"Happy Birthday, Dazai-kun, Dazai-kun..."

Dazai Osamu was stunned for a moment, then stood at the door with an expressionless face, looking at them with dead fish eyes.

You guys are really——

So childish.

Dazai Osamu had never expected that someone in a place like the Port Mafia would celebrate his birthday. But now he was not moved at all after seeing the scene.

He walked into his unrecognizable office with an expressionless face.

This office was originally very simple and clean, even to the point of being plain. But now, it is covered with colorful ribbons and balloons, and even the walls and windows are covered with crab stickers in various styles, including cute Q-version crabs, cute girl comic-style crabs, runaway crabs with exaggerated and ferocious expressions made of lines, King Kong Barbie crabs in the style of JOJO, and even weird crabs in the style of Ito Ouji.

He also saw a huge life-size crab doll leaning against his desk. It seemed to be about the same height as him, but three times as wide as him. The doll was even wearing a pair of blue overalls!

The ubiquitous crabs made Dazai Osamu feel that the crabs he loved to eat were polluted :)

He looked around and saw that except for Ozaki Kouyo and Hirotsu Yanami, the other three were holding firecrackers facing him.

Dazai Osamu patted the ribbons and colored flakes all over his head and body, but the broken colored flakes that had already been mixed into his hair and the seams of his clothes could not be removed with just a few pats.

He complained without any hesitation: "You are so childish."

The colonel took a step back with a stiff expression, pretending that he had done nothing. Nakahara Chuuya sneered. Ace walked over with a laugh, grabbed his shoulders and hooked him to the huge cube covered with cloth in the middle of the room, stretched out his hand to grab a corner of the cloth, and lifted it up with force -

"Dangdang - a giant crab cake made just for you! Do you like it?"

Dazai Osamu silently looked at the three-layer cake that was made into three giant crabs lying on their stomachs. Each crab even had eight bent and curled legs and a pair of large pincers.

Thanks, but he likes crab dishes, not crabs themselves.

Today, the house is filled with countless crabs in different styles, which makes him feel negative towards crabs :)

Dazai raised his eyebrows and deliberately made things difficult: "I like crab meat dishes, not just crab-shaped cakes. Does this cake taste like crab?"

Ace smiled, Nakahara Chuuya also smiled, and the expressions of the others were very subtle.

Ace pulled Dazai Osamu to the front of the cake, took the plate and knife handed over by Hirotsu Liulang, directly dug out the eyeball of the top "crab", put it on the plate, and then used the dinner knife to pick it open along the horizontal cut on the top of the "eyeball", and dug out a piece of crab roe from the lifted "eyeball". A piece of semi-solidified crab roe flowed down the blade of the knife.

"It's crab!" He looked surprised or not, happy or not, hoping to be praised. "I hollowed it out and put canned crab meat in it!"

Nakahara Chuuya, who made the suggestion, curled his lips.

Ace pointed to an opened box of canned crab meat next to him and said, "I know you like this, so I bought a whole box just for you!"

Dazai Osamu looked at the box of canned crab meat, and then looked at the eyeball cake filled with crab meat and crab roe that was held in front of him with indescribable emotion.

Are you sick?

This is simply a waste of crab meat dishes!

Dazai was about to take a bite and comment on the cake in front of him, but Ace suddenly took the plate away. He pondered, "Speaking of which, should we light the candles and make a wish before cutting the cake?"

Ozaki Kouyo's eyes were subtle: "According to the normal process, yes."

Then Ace suddenly realized something and covered the top layer of the "eyeball" again, shoveled the "eyeball" back onto the "crab", and then inserted candles on the eight legs, two pincers, two eyeballs and the center of the crab. After lighting them, he personally sang the pirate song "Binks' Wine" which does not exist in this world.

The others looked over in silence.

Oh, shouldn't we be singing the birthday song at this time? This song sounds like it was sung the night before yesterday.

Ace was halfway through singing when he urged: "Zhi! Make a wish now!"

Nakahara Chuuya cheered beside him with a schadenfreude: "That's right, Dazai, make a wish quickly! We're waiting for you to make a wish and blow out the candles!"

Ozaki Kouyo and the colonel also looked at him happily.

Dazai Osamu: “…”

This is so embarrassing. Is it too late to go out and pretend I haven't come back?

...Of course it was too late. First of all, he couldn't free Ace's arm from his shoulders.

Dazai Osamu took a deep breath, walked to the huge crab cake, and deliberately said his wish in a very loud voice: "In the new year, I hope that Mr. Mori will be bald next year! I hope that Nakadashi will never grow taller!" Then he quickly walked around the cake and blew out all the candles.

Ace laughed out loud and didn't care at all. He dug out the eyeball of the cake again, and as he did so he called out, "Chi! Come and eat cake!"

Nakahara Chuuya punched him directly: "Bandit bastard! I think you want to be beaten!"

Dazai Osamu ran around the cake, and Nakahara Chuuya chased him around the cake.

The colonel was surrounded in a circle of two people who were "chasing and fleeing". He picked up the huge cake cutter, measured it left and right, and didn't know where to cut. In the end, he simply cut a "丰" in the middle of the top layer of cake. The two pieces in the middle near the head were left for Dazai Osamu. The remaining six pieces were given to each of them, and the leader got two pieces.

But after thinking about it, he dug out the eyeballs from the two pieces of cake for Dazai Osamu and put them back on the cake stand. Then he dug out the eyeballs from the two layers of crab cake below and put them on Dazai Osamu's plate - three "crabs" and six eyeballs, all filled with canned crab meat by Ace and Nakahara Chuuya.

Six eyeballs filled with canned crab meat that none of them wanted.

The crab on the top of the three-layer cake is the smallest, but that is relative. The cake is divided into eight pieces, and each piece is as big as the entire plate.

Ozaki Kouye and Hirotsu Yanagirami felt that they could not eat that much, so they cut off a small piece with a small knife and put the rest back on the cake stand.

Ace happily took the two cakes that were stacked together to a height of nearly 30 centimeters, not thinking that he would not be able to finish them. Mori Ogai looked at the cake in front of him and felt his stomach ache again.

[Ace, please eat less tonight. My gastritis hasn't healed yet.]

[Don't worry! I will stop when I'm full. ]

Mori Ougai: ...I'm not reassured.

Your feeling of being full doesn’t seem to be on the same level as mine:)

Nakahara Chuuya was sitting on the back of the cursing Dazai Osamu. He was stunned for a moment when he saw the cake that the colonel brought to him. He looked around and saw that Ozaki Kouyo and Hirotsu Yanami had only cut out a small piece. He couldn't help but show a hesitant look.

Dazai Osamu, who was lying on the ground under his pressure, immediately fired back, "Oh, don't worry, you won't grow taller even if you eat so much!"

Veins immediately popped up on Nakahara Chuuya's head.

The colonel interrupted Nakahara Chuuya's reading before the two started fighting again, and placed Dazai Osamu's plate of cake in front of Dazai Osamu, "Happy birthday, Dazai-kun."

Dazai Osamu: “…”

He calmed down.

Seeing that he was no longer causing trouble, Nakahara Chuuya let go of him doubtfully and stood up.

Ace held up a fork with cake stuck in it, his mouth still bulging with cake, and he chewed while speaking in a slurred voice, "Chi, eat quickly, I stuffed you with crab meat!"

He looked a little proud.

Dazai Osamu sat up cross-legged on the spot. He looked at the cake in front of him in silence for a while, then put the slice of cake that had become a lid into his mouth.

First, the sweet taste of the high-quality cream on the cake spread over the taste buds, followed by the slightly salty and fresh cake slices that were half-transparently soaked in the juice from the crab meat. The two flavors mixed together in the mouth, creating a slightly strange taste.

But Dazai Osamu thought the taste was actually quite good.

He silently used the spoon that came with the can to scoop out the crab meat and roe from a "crab eye", and then ate the "cake box" containing the crab meat.

“It tastes good,” he said.

Nakahara Chuuya glanced at him doubtfully, "Is this true?"

Dazai Osamu raised his lips, cut off the lid of another "crab eye" and put it on Nakahara Chuuya's plate, and said with a smile: "You will know after you try it."

Nakahara Chuuya believed it and ate it in one gulp. Then he slowly showed a disgusted expression, but because he didn't want to waste food, he finally swallowed it. Then he looked at Dazai Osamu in disbelief: "Your taste is so weird!"

Ozaki Kouyo, who was secretly watching from the sidelines, pursed her lips and smiled.

Oh, this new boy will probably be teased by Dazai often in the future.

…

The cake was very large, and the six people present obviously couldn't finish it, so the remaining cake was cut into many pieces and distributed by Black Lizard throughout the building. Anyone who saw it could get a piece, and the cake would be distributed until it was all gone.

I heard that the leader made a custom cake for Dazai Osamu, and everyone who got a piece of the cake knew that Dazai Osamu liked crabs.

In the evening, Mori Ougai came to the medical department again.

This time it was because I ate too much and couldn’t digest it.

Yes, even though he had warned Ace not to eat too much, Ace still overestimated his appetite and because he didn't want to waste food, he forced himself to eat both pieces of cake.

Now, my stomach is bloated and uncomfortable_(:зゝ∠)_

The doctor looked at the leader who kept going to the medical department every other day and couldn't help but ask, "Leader, is your gastritis getting worse?"

Mori Ogai forced a smile and said, "No, I just wanted to come here to get a prescription and wait and see if there would be any adverse reactions from taking stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets during gastritis."
