The glass in my hand was shining brightly.

Odasaku thought of the orange-haired man who had just sat next to him. He had just turned around, stretched out his hand towards him, and told him that his name was Nakahara Chuuya.

Why can he face this man named Nakahara Chuuya so calmly?

How could she accept so easily that after he died that night, he once again returned to this world.

In fact, Oda Saku didn't know how to respond to Sakaguchi Ango's question, because he didn't have a complete answer in his mind.

He raised his glass and drank the wine in his hand. Thinking back to that night, Odasaku could hardly help saying with a sense of loss: "I didn't believe in miracles before."

But for the first time, he expected a miracle to happen to his friend.

Expecting death is not his end, but this is the moment they meet again because of the miracle.

Give him a chance to make up for his regrets.

With just these one sentence, Sakaguchi Ango understood what Odasaku meant.

For a moment, old memories came to mind. Sakaguchi Ango took off his glasses, wiped them with a glasses cloth, and looked at the clean mirror reflected in his lowered eyes. He sighed softly.

He just had a bad feeling.

This premonition was like the night I saw Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuuya arguing outside the bar about what they were going to eat in the evening.

A sudden throbbing heart.

·

Dazai Osamu walked leisurely through the corridor of the Armed Detective Agency and turned off the lights. Today he accompanied Nakajima Atsushi to solve the case, which took a lot of time.

But it didn't affect his good mood at all.

Until he walked past the locker and saw Ranpo Edogawa stuffing a bunch of things into the locker.

While everyone can see Edogawa Ranpo's intelligence, everyone can also see his clumsiness. He is like a cat spoiled by the president, acting coquettishly to the president and liking to eat snacks.

At this moment, he was tiptoeing to stuff the dried biscuits into the cupboard. His cheeks were puffed up and it looked like he was struggling.

Dazai Osamu walked up to him, helped him, and stuffed the shaking dry biscuits perfectly into the cupboard.

"What are you doing?" Dazai Osamu lowered his head and looked at Edogawa Ranpo, his iris-colored eyes were very gentle.

When Edogawa Ranpo saw that his snacks were hidden, he clapped his hands happily, brushed off the non-existent dust, closed the locker, and said, "This is just a preparation in advance."

Dazai Osamu then asked with concern: "Has Mr. Ranpo prepared enough food?"

Edogawa Ranpo touched his chin, stood on tiptoe, and looked at the things in the locker: "I think this is enough. I think no one is so stupid."

Dazai nodded in sudden realization: "Then I wonder if you have taken the variables into account?"

"Variable?" Edogawa Ranpo thought for a moment, "Are you talking about the man with orange hair?"

Dazai Osamu raised his eyebrows in surprise: "It seems that you have already met?

Edogawa Ranpo said, "Yes, I met him in the rain some time ago because of Atsushi-kun. He is a very strong person, but I didn't count."

Ranpo Edogawa explained: "Because of that gentleman, I feel he will not join the game."

"No?" Dazai Osamu murmured, and then he put away the smile on his face. "Want to make a bet, Mr. Ranpo?"

Ranpo Edogawa discovered this the first time he made a bet with Dazai Osamu. Every time at this time, Dazai Osamu's voice would be seductive like a charming siren, using his low, lazy and seductive voice to hook Ranpo Edogawa down.

Ranpo Edogawa made this bet with Dazai Osamu without much hesitation.

After all, he did have chips in his hand, and Edogawa Ranpo really liked the feeling of betting with Dazai Osamu. Perhaps it was because Dazai Osamu had similar thoughts to him that made him addicted to the feeling of playing a game with others with his mind.

Edogawa Ranpo looked at Dazai Osamu with great interest, his clear eyes seemed like a gem that would shine on its own: "What's the bet?"

"Bet." Dazai tilted his head and smiled mysteriously, "Will he stay for me?"

Edogawa Ranpo's excited expression paused, and he looked at Dazai Osamu thoughtfully, with an innocent look like a child: "If you are also in the game, bet with me, Dazai, you are cheating."

Dazai Osamu retorted: "This is not cheating. Doesn't my participation in the game just reduce my chips?"

Ranpo Edogawa immediately understood what Dazai meant. He said, "Dazai, sometimes it is best not to know the whole story."

Dazai Osamu smiled: "It seems that Ranpo-san already knows the whole story? As expected of Ranpo-san."

Edogawa Ranpo curled his lips and said childishly, "Didn't you reveal the news to me on purpose? Dazai, you are cowardly."

Dazai Osamu did not deny his words. He said frankly: "I am just a human being."

Just as Ranpo firmly believed that he was a person with special abilities and was deceiving himself, when Dazai Osamu was in the game, his thinking also began to become stubborn and rigid.

He is a stingy person who is unwilling to share even a little bit of his memories with others.

But in this game, he would not allow himself to make a wrong move, because Dazai knew very well that he could not accept failure again.

So, Dazai Osamu once again asked Edogawa Ranpo: "Mr. Ranpo, have you made your choice? Which side do you want to choose?"

Edogawa Ranpo sighed deeply. Only at this moment did he look like a 26-year-old adult. He said, "Although I would rather you not do it, I know I can't stop you."

"Can."

Edogawa Ranpo looked at Dazai Osamu and gave his answer firmly.

"Really?" Dazai smiled lazily and said softly, "Then I bet, it won't happen."

Edogawa Ranpo puffed up his cheeks angrily: "Dazai, you will definitely be slapped hard in the face."

Dazai Osamu curled his lips and said, "I hope it's as Mr. Ranpo said."

Having said that, Dazai Osamu's gaze didn't know where to go. His confused eyes just looked out the window, and then fell aimlessly on a street lamp.

No, Dazai told himself.

He thought, because no one knows a fact better than me.

Zhongyuan Zhongye is also a liar.

A liar who always breaks his promises.

·

The night before the decisive battle with Kidd.

Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuuya walked out of the Lupin bar together. The night wind blew gently, brushing past their fellow travelers, leaving only the hustle and bustle of traffic in the alley outside.

Nakahara Chuuya said, "Dazai, I didn't expect you to take the initiative to ask to keep me."

Before this, Mr. Mori had already assigned an overseas mission to Nakahara Chuuya. If Dazai Osamu had not asked to keep him, Nakahara Chuuya would have been on a plane heading overseas by now.

Dazai Osamu replied: "I am actually confused as to why Nakaya would stay because of me."

He emphasized the three words "for me", and Nakahara Chuuya couldn't help but sneer: "What do you mean for you? I did it for Oda Saku, okay?"

Dazai narrowed his eyes in dissatisfaction: "Chuuya..."

When he was about to start a heated debate with Nakahara Chuuya, Nakahara Chuuya suddenly turned his head to the side.

The street lights at night cast a gentle shadow on him, casting only a faint light.

Zhongyuan Zhongye is a person with a very strong personal color, as if all bright colors can find a corresponding position in him.

This is what Oda Saku once said to describe Nakahara Chuuya, and Dazai Osamu never agreed with it.

But when Nakahara Chuuya took off his hat, revealing his ice-blue eyes, Dazai Osamu seemed to lose the power of speech in an instant.

Nakahara Chuuya said to him, "Do you want any gift?"

After a while, it will be Dazai Osamu's birthday.

He plans to start preparing Dazai Osamu's birthday present in advance.

Dazai Osamu used a lot of effort to regain the strength to speak. He asked, "Chuuya, do you know that you are probably the only person in the world who would directly ask others what birthday present they want?"

Zhong Yuan Zhong also smiled noncommittally and raised his hand to hit him: "That's what you said last time. As a result, the things I brought back didn't meet your aesthetic standards at all, and then you kept yelling at me for half a month. Do you remember?"

Dazai Osamu didn't think he had done anything wrong. He thought about it and felt that he had let it go: "I only called you for half a month?"

"Asshole, I knew you would never repent on your own." Nakahara Chuuya couldn't bear it anymore and took action directly.

Dazai Osamu dodged his attack easily: "This is obviously Chuuya's fault. As my partner, you don't even know what I like."

Nakahara Chuuya was angry: "Didn't you tell me last time that you fell in love with someone recently..."

He suddenly fell silent, and then a rage blazed in his eyes: "Dazai Osamu! You're looking for death!"

Last year, Dazai Osamu was slacking off in his office, and he leisurely told him that he had recently fallen in love with the fairy tale of Beauty and the Beast, and emphasized that the beast had a pair of azure eyes.

Nakahara Chuuya understood the meaning of the music and brought him a gift. Only then did he realize that the beast Dazai Osamu was talking about was probably Nakahara Chuuya.

Dazai Osamu laughed and said, "Chuuya is indeed a very slow-witted person."

"But since I'm such a tolerant partner, I can only reluctantly forgive Chuuya, as long as you can come back this year to wish me a happy birthday."

Zhongyuan Zhongya clicked his tongue unhappily: "So that's why I made a bet with you, a guy who always cheats when playing games."

"Isn't it a bit lame to promise to celebrate your birthday with you every year? Dazai, you are not going to have a childlike heart and celebrate your birthday every year until you are 80 years old?"

Dazai Osamu casually glanced at a flower in the flowerbed nearby and replied with a smile, "Is it not possible? You can see the furious Chuuya every year."

The birthday isn't the point.

Instead, every year, Dazai Osamu looked forward to seeing Nakahara Nakata handing him a gift box with a bit of confusion, and looked forward to him opening the gift box.

Last year’s birthday.

A birthday present given to him by Chuuya Nakahara, who is not good at giving gifts.

It is a bright red rose.
