This is the 1,040th day since Dazai Osamu left.

Nakahara Chuuya was sitting in the office of the leader of the Port Mafia as usual. Ever since he took over the position of leader of the Port Mafia from Dazai Osamu, he rarely went out.

The only time he went out was when Nakahara Chuuya slaughtered people in the streets. I don't know if it was because the rain was particularly heavy that night or because Nakahara Chuuya's methods were too cruel, but after that day, fewer people came to trouble Nakahara Chuuya.

The assassination cases that often occurred during the reign of Dazai Osamu did not exist for Chuuya Nakahara at all.

Not to mention the assassination, even when getting close to Nakahara Chuuya, one would consider turning around 180 meters and taking a walk.

Nakahara Chuuya did not pay attention to this. After all, for him, these things were not worth his attention.

After becoming the leader of the port mafia, he realized that there were so many documents passing through his hands. So many that whenever Nakahara Chuuya looked at them occasionally, he would feel a deep sense of fatigue. This feeling of fatigue could not be washed away and accompanied Nakahara Chuuya all the time.

However, Nakahara Chuuya has a very strong willpower and can always handle his tired emotions well. No matter how difficult the situation is, he can just close his eyes and take a nap.

It's another afternoon.

Clear sunlight poured in through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the leader's office. After many nights of hard sleep, Nakahara Chuuya lay on the table and fell into a deep dream.

He usually slept well, but since Dazai Osamu left, his sleep became very strange. He could never sleep deeply and was always woken up by some very small noises.

It is very rare that I fall into such a long dream again.

In the dream, it was Yokohama, which Zhongyuan Chuya had not seen for a long time. He appeared on the streets of Yokohama, and the sky was almost clear enough to drip raindrops. He walked out of the shop and walked into this complex yet familiar environment.

This place is just like Yokohama three years ago. Nakahara Chuuya clearly remembers that the oden restaurant that he and Dazai Osamu had always loved since they were young closed down three years ago because the owner of the oden restaurant was too old and could no longer run the store well.

When Nakahara Chuuya learned about this at that time, he was actually very depressed.

As an ordinary person, or rather, as a person who is isolated from all ordinary people, Chuuya Nakahara has always hoped that there are things around him that can sincerely and deeply record the traces that Chuuya Nakahara once lived.

However, the King of Sheep is neither a so-called Port Mafia cadre nor a so-called Port Mafia leader, but just Nakahara Chuuya himself.

There are very few things that can prove that he has been to this world, and Nakahara Chuuya is not a very generous person, so not everyone has the honor of seeing the real Nakahara Chuuya. Therefore, Nakahara Chuuya also cherishes those things or people that can prove his existence.

Nakahara Chuuya walked into the store curiously. The owner of the store looked at him with surprise and said to him kindly, "Nakahara-kun, you're here? I thought you would never come again!"

Nakahara Chuuya was a little surprised, because after he became a cadre of the port mafia and followed Dazai Osamu through a long, long period of darkness, he indeed hadn't come here for a long, long time, but what he didn't expect was.

When he remembered the boss, the boss also remembered him so clearly.

He said, "I was a little busy recently, so I haven't been here for a long time. Why are you so shocked?"

The boss glanced at him, his kind eyes full of concern: "So that's how it is. But Zhongyuan-kun, your time ago was so long, almost four years. If Dazai-kun hadn't often come to talk to me about you, I would have almost forgotten about you."

"...Four years?" This word, which was so clear that it was almost certain, made Nakahara Chuuya a little doubtful. He couldn't help but ask, "Four years? I haven't been here for more than four years?"

"Yeah." The boss laughed and nodded. "If Dazai-kun hadn't told me about you and him every time he came, I would have forgotten about you very quickly, Nakahara-kun."

If this was three years ago, then Nakahara Chuuya should be exactly 22 years old now. If it was four years ago... then Nakahara Chuuya seemed to be only 18 years old.

Eighteen-year-old Nakahara Chuuya thought about his past. That time should have been the happiest time of his life. Dazai Osamu was by his side. He had just received a notice from Mr. Mori to take over the jewelry business. In addition to worrying about how to deal with the follow-up of the jewelry business every day, his biggest worry was how to kill Dazai Osamu, a bastard who had nothing to do except teasing him every day.

There's no way he wouldn't come here and disappear for nearly four years, right?

And from what the boss said, when Nakahara Chuuya didn't come here often, Dazai Osamu would pay attention to this place more often. Nakahara Chuuya found a random place to sit down at the bar, smiled and looked at the boss: "Can I ask you something, Dazai Osamu, how do you mention me every time?"

The boss was stunned for a moment, then half-answered. He looked at Nakahara and couldn't help but smile amiably: "If I didn't know your character, I might think that you were teaming up with Dazai-kun to deceive me. Nakahara-kun, why would you ask the same question that Dazai-kun asked me?"

The boss was full of emotion and said, "Every time Dazai-kun comes, he orders the same tonkotsu ramen that you guys ordered when you came often, and then he sits in front of me and slowly asks me if I still remember who Nakahara-kun is."

"He asked me again, have I ever heard Zhongyuan-kun mention him in the past long, long time? Because my memory is not very good, I vaguely remember that Zhongyuan-kun seemed to have said something to me, but I just can't remember what you said to me specifically."

"But Dazai-kun seemed to have grasped at the last straw and would come to me every time. The intervals were not too long, almost once a week."

"Perhaps it's because Dazai-kun comes too often, so the past that was once blurry in my eyes has become clearer as Dazai-kun comes again and again."

"Nakahara-kun, you once came to my shop one night, wearing pajamas and slippers, and you looked very angry. You told me that Dazai Osamu was really an asshole and that you should never make borscht for him again."

"But after finishing a small bowl of fish ball noodles, I stood up leisurely and comforted myself that even if Dazai Osamu was a bastard, life still had to go on."

"After hearing this, Dazai-kun surprisingly did not get angry but laughed instead."

The boss tried hard to recall Dazai Osamu that day. It must have been a sunny day, so the sunlight in his store was so bright, and coincidentally all the sunlight fell on Dazai Osamu's face.

Dazai Osamu was holding a bowl of rice soaked in tea in his hand. After hearing this, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

It seemed that he felt that the smile on his lips was too presumptuous, so after showing it for a while, Dazai Osamu put it down, knowing that it was boring. But after waiting for a while, he couldn't help but curl up his lips again, and said to the boss with a smile: "Boss, do you know?"

The boss didn't know, but he could guess that Dazai Osamu had something to say, so he asked, "Is there something I should know?"

Dazai Osamu shook his head and said, "Oh no, this is something that only I should know."

Then he added: "But it really can't stop me from being in such a good mood today. Chuuya once said something to me, he said..."

"If I knew how things would turn out, I would probably regret not joining a super cool place, but overall, this is all acceptable to me."

"Because, knowing you is not bad, right?"

This was just a small compliment, but did it leave a fresh impression on Dazai Osamu?

Nakahara Chuuya no longer remembered whether he had said this to Dazai Osamu, but he remembered that he later said even more disgusting words to Dazai Osamu. He was just a little curious, why did Dazai Osamu, who had always been dismissive of his words in the past, have such emotions at this time?

Nakahara Chuuya said goodbye to his boss, walked towards the port mafia with ease, and then easily caught a lone man.

This person must have just joined the Port Mafia and had not been taking good care of his body and mind. He asked, "Is there a person called Dazai Osamu in your Port Mafia?"

The terrified Hei Yi quickly said to Nakahara Chuuya: "The Port Mafia does not allow anyone to work abroad. Of course, Dazai Osamu was an accident. Not only did he leave the Port Mafia, he also turned the villain's details over."

Nakahara Chuuya asked: "Did Dazai Osamu join the Detective Armed Forces? When did this happen?"

The subordinate thought for a while and said in a deep voice.

"I don't know, but it's clearly recorded in the files."

"After the death of Chuuya Nakahara, Dazai Osamu's once peaceful soul completely became indifferent to life."

"Dazai Osamu has a flaw."

“That’s when he started to be afraid of death.”
