Nakahara Chuuya once again opened his eyes from his sleep.
This time, he might be sure of some details that he had never paid attention to before. Maybe... there really are so-called parallel worlds in this world, and the world he experienced in his dream is one of them.
But for some unknown reason, he died in that world.
It was really hard for Nakahara Chuuya not to feel strange after hearing what Dazai Osamu said. What did it mean that I was right in front of you, but you said I was dead?
...It was hard for Zhongyuan Zhongya not to guess that maybe that was the day when Zhongyuan Zhongya in that world died.
Just like Chuuya Nakahara now, he saw the death scene of Dazai Osamu in the so-called parallel world, which belongs to this world.
That's why there is that sentence "unfinished words".
·
The deputy found that their great leader, Chuuya Nakahara, had finally broken free from the long loneliness and began to experience the world now. The biggest change was that after Chuuya Nakahara succeeded to the throne, Nakajima Atsushi, who had been waiting at the door of the port mafia, was finally willing to let Nakajima Atsushi in.
Is this a big improvement? The deputy didn't know. He only knew that Nakajima Atsushi's emotions must be more complicated than his, because Nakajima Atsushi, who used to have the final say in the port mafia, now doesn't even dare to breathe too loudly.
It was as if I was afraid that breathing too loudly would wake me up from this rare dream.
When Nakajima Atsushi stood in front of Nakahara Chuuya, Nakahara Chuuya found it hard not to sigh and wonder how long it had been.
After Dazai Osamu died, he never forced himself to meet Nakajima Atsushi again.
As a result, he suddenly felt that everything had changed. He looked at Nakajima Atsushi. The bright red scarf around his neck was like a circle of iron thorns wrapped around his neck, making Nakahara Chuuya unable to move at all.
Nakahara Chuuya said: "It was your choice to leave the Mafia. It was also your choice to wait downstairs of the Mafia at the port. I cannot resist your choice, but Nakajima-kun..."
Nakahara Chuuya looked at Nakajima Atsushi with sharp eyes and said, "You should give me a reason, right?"
For Chuuya Nakahara, it was actually a very sad thing to face the child he raised in such a hostile way.
Because he is a person who values feelings very much, but it seems that his destiny has been fixed and thin since he was born.
A friend appeared, and when he started to put his heart into it, his friend suddenly died.
After having younger generations and teaching them carefully, what awaits Chuuya Nakahara is the departure of each individual.
Although he had subordinates, the ongoing war did not allow Chuuya Nakahara's subordinates to survive for too long.
As a person who is too powerful, Nakahara Chuuya tried his best but in the end, he left nothing. It seemed that he could not leave anything behind. He was the biggest loser.
And now, the biggest loser has firmly sat on the throne of the leader of the port mafia. He lowered his eyes and looked at Nakajima Atsushi with a gentle yet sharp look.
Nakajima Atsushi understood so clearly that even if he didn't say anything to Nakahara Chuuya, Nakahara Chuuya would not be disappointed in him because he clearly understood what kind of person Nakahara Chuuya was.
He said, "I came here to give you an answer."
"When Mr. Dazai was still here," Nakajima Atsushi said, he seemed to be at a loss for words. He paused for a moment before continuing, "He told me that if I had to choose between the survival of the Port Mafia and leaving the Port Mafia, which one would I choose?"
"At that time, I asked Mr. Dazai, why did I have to choose between the survival of the Port Mafia and leaving the Port Mafia? Couldn't I stay? Couldn't I stay as a member of the Port Mafia?"
"Mr. Dazai's answer to me is no." Nakajima Atsushi said to Nakahara Chuuya word by word, "At that time, Mr. Dazai asked me, I have been in the Port Mafia for a long time, don't I find that there are some unreasonable things in this world?"
Nakahara Chuuya lowered his eyes, he knew that it was Nakajima Atsushi who was asking him, he had been in the Port Mafia for so long, even Nakajima Atsushi had discovered it, couldn't he have discovered it yet?
Extraordinary things happened in the port mafia.
Of course Nakahara Chuuya knew that even though Dazai Osamu had always tried to hide it from him, even after Dazai Osamu died, he had always been trying to convince himself.
But he didn't convince himself at all, and he still thought about the past.
When Dazai Osamu was in power, he had clearly already warned everyone in Yokohama, but assassins from Italy would still appear from time to time. They seemed to be famous, but before they appeared, Nakahara Chuuya was 100% sure that in his memory, such an organization did not exist at all.
There was also that time when he finally managed to stay by Dazai Osamu's side. Dazai Osamu's attitude towards him was as if he had finally let go of all his burdens and returned to the situation where they relied on each other in the past...
Until what happened at the auction, Nakahara Chuuya met the most mortal enemy he had never seen in his life at the auction.
They are strong and sharp, like nomads wandering in the night.
You can easily find the differences between them and others in Zhongyuan. What are the differences?
That is... they all seem to be like Dazai Osamu, born with a dark aura.
If there is only one person with such an aura, then we can say that he was born to mix up the world, but if there are so many of them, the question that can be explained is.
They are criminals who live on the edge of darkness and walk on the edge of a knife.
For them, this has become a part of their lives.
And such an existence, no matter how you look at it, is not a weak existence.
But strangely, after that incident, Nakahara Chuuya, who was sent overseas by Dazai Osamu, never forgot about them and sent people to investigate them for a long time, but the news he got was.
There is no news at all.
At that time, Nakahara Chuuya had a strong doubt that there was something in this world that he didn't know, but Dazai Osamu knew. Until today, Nakajima Atsushi revealed all the secrets.
Nakahara Chuuya laughed and said, "So, this is the reason why they dragged you and Kagamika into the Armed Detective Agency?"
Nakajima Atsushi looked at Nakahara Chuuya and nodded seriously: "This is the most fundamental reason why Kagamika and I went to the Armed Detective Agency."
They are all wild dogs living in the dark, and they have never encountered a situation like the confrontation between Dazai Osamu and Mr. Mori. To Dazai Osamu, the leader who has accompanied them since childhood, in Nakajima Atsushi's eyes, Mr. Dazai is a beacon on his future path.
So even if he was reluctant to part with Zhongyuan Zhongye and the Port Mafia,
Nakajima Atsushi still carried out everything according to the arrangements made before Mr. Dazai disappeared.
Nakahara Chuuya felt a headache after hearing this. He was already feeling extremely sad because of the things happening in the parallel world, and now after hearing what Nakajima Atsushi said, his headache only hurt even more, if it was just for such a joking reason.
Nakahara Chuuya thought that he couldn't accept it.
He couldn't accept that Dazai Osamu had abandoned him on his own initiative before, he couldn't accept that Nakajima Atsushi had abandoned the port mafia so decisively before, and he couldn't accept it now at all, it turned out that he was the only one who was kept in the dark about everything.
Nakahara Chuuya looked at Nakajima Atsushi and said, "Then can you tell me, Nakajima-kun, why did I expand the port mafia step by step after you left? Why did I have to re-operate what Dazai Osamu left behind?"
"If heresy will occur as long as the Port Mafia exists, why not just shut it down?"
Nakajima Atsushi seemed to be asked by Nakahara Chuuya, but he was not someone whose mind could be changed by just a few words from Nakahara Chuuya. He had been with Dazai Osamu for too long.
After hearing what Nakahara Chuuya said, Nakajima Atsushi just looked at him silently. He said, "...I probably can't answer your question right now, but I have brought you Mr. Dazai's last words. Do you want to hear them?"
Nakahara Chuuya thought, how big of a figure was Dazai Osamu? Even after his death, he still had to ask someone to pass on a message to him, as if Dazai Osamu had been some great figure when he was alive.
He said, "What?"
Nakajima Atsushi withstood the pressure from Nakahara Chuuya, and forced his eyes to widen, looking at Nakahara Chuuya and saying word by word: "If Chuuya wants to know the truth of everything, he might as well go find Oda Saku."
This is a strange yet familiar name.
It felt strange because in this world, Nakahara Chuuya had never heard of this name before.
The reason why he felt familiar was that in that strange world, Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuuya were both friends of this so-called Odasaku, otherwise he would not have attended Nakahara Chuuya's funeral with Ozaki Koyo and Mori Ogai.
And naturally stood on the side of Nakahara Chuuya's family.
However, what Nakahara Chuuya did not expect was that it was not only Dazai Osamu from another time and space who knew Odasaku.
Even Dazai Osamu in this world knew Odasaku.
Does he know any secrets about Dazai Osamu's past?
Having been deceived too badly by Dazai Osamu, Nakahara Chuuya actually no longer wants to find out how many times Dazai Osamu has deceived him.
I'm sure I've lost count.
But Nakahara Chuuya thought that I deserved to know the truth.
The author has something to say: Thank you for watching.
OK, tomorrow
