Chapter 42



After returning to the mission space, Araki applied for a break while his friend kept nagging him. He went to the special rest room while saying "hmmmm" and "ahhhh". After saying hello to the pretty nurse, he lay down in the hibernation chamber. "Okay, okay, I'm going to close my eyes and rest soon. Please be kind and let me go!"

Endo Yuu on the other side finally stopped scolding him, "Alright, I'll let you go this time, go to sleep first."

Araki put down the terminal and showed a relieved expression: "Huh~ I'm finally saved!"

He closed his eyes and lay down in the hibernation chamber. The nurse pressed a button on the side and the glass door slowly closed.

On the other hand, during the time when Arashi was resting, the upper level randomly selected one of Arashi's mission records for him to watch.

This was a temporary mission before Oda Sakunosuke——

The White Death of the if line.

It was a quiet day in the Armed Detective Agency. Nakajima Atsushi was carefully processing the documents that Dazai Osamu pushed to him, but Dazai Osamu himself was nowhere to be seen. However, Nakajima Atsushi had long been used to it.

There were several regular knocks at the door, and Nakajima Atsushi stood up reflexively. Tanizaki Junichiro stepped forward before him, opened the door and asked, "Welcome to the Armed Detective Agency. May I ask... Eh?!"

"A-Dun?! Weren't you in there? When did you get out?"

The person who came in from the door was a boy with a face exactly like Nakajima Atsushi. He was wearing a black coat that covered even his throat. He walked in silently, even more quietly than a cat that hides its footsteps.

Nakajima Atsushi ran over and shouted louder than Tanizaki Junichiro: "Hey hey hey!!! Who are you?!"

The detective agency suddenly started to argue, with some people whispering, "Are they brothers? They look so alike!"

"It should be his younger brother, right? He looks younger than A-Dun."

Nakajima Atsushi raised his hand and touched his face with a confused look on his face. "Excuse me...?"

Opposite him, the young man standing like a mirror was silent for a while, "I have a commission."

He looked at Nakajima Atsushi and said word by word, "Don't harm the dean. You are not allowed to do anything to the dean."

There was a look of pain on his face.

///

Nakajima Atsushi, also known as the "White Death of the Port Mafia", came to this world that is very different from his original world because of the differences he and Akutagawa Ryunosuke developed during a joint mission.

The first thing Nakajima Atsushi did when he arrived here was to transform part of his body into a tiger. He observed the surroundings vigilantly and did not stop transforming until he was sure there was no danger.

Nakajima Atsushi stood there in a daze. He tentatively walked forward for a distance. The surrounding scenery was a little different from what he had seen before. The road was still the same, but the surrounding shops were slightly different.

Nakajima Atsushi stopped in his tracks as he passed a newspaper stand. He saw a familiar face in the newspaper.

It was his own face.

Nakajima Atsushi calmly pulled his collar and pretended to select a newspaper while quickly collecting information. After a while, he left the newsstand and walked to a deserted place to organize his reasoning.

He might have come to the parallel world that Mr. Dazai once talked about.

Nakajima Atsushi recalled the figure leaping down from the rooftop of the port mafia building, and he clenched his fists unconsciously.

Wait, Nakajima Atsushi’s eyes suddenly widened. If this is a parallel world, then the dean…!

In order to confirm the life of the dean of this world, Nakajima Atsushi immediately rushed to the orphanage. He transformed his body into a tiger and ran as fast as he could, as if he wanted to leave all his reluctance, all his pain, and all his guilt behind. He ran without eating or resting.

It took Nakajima Atsushi almost a day and a night to reach the orphanage. The orphanage still had the familiar appearance, looking very small and poor. The lime walls were cracked, the road was bare without any paving, and the well for drawing water had dried up.

He sneaked into the orphanage without anyone noticing him. Nakajima Atsushi wanted to enter the director's office, but found that the door was locked. In order not to alarm others, Nakajima Atsushi gave up this plan. Nakajima Atsushi quietly walked behind a staff member with a strange face, covered his mouth and took him to a remote place where no one would walk, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Where is the director here?"

“Ahem, ahem! Who are you——”

The staff member's voice suddenly stopped. His eyes widened, fear climbed onto his face. Nakajima Atsushi's sharp tiger claws reflected cold light in the sunlight. He asked again, "Answer me, where is the director of this orphanage?"

"Yokohama! He went to Yokohama! Please let me go, please, please let me go! I know nothing, nothing!" The staff shouted in fear, cold sweat sliding down his face.

Nakajima Atsushi continued to ask, "Has the director of this orphanage always been the same person?"

"Yes! He has been here since the orphanage was built since I came here! He has never changed! I have told you everything I know, please let me go! I really don't know anything!"

Nakajima Atsushi's soul seemed to suddenly become lighter. He chopped the staff with his backhand, knocked them unconscious, then turned around and left the orphanage for Yokohama.

It's not too late, it's not too late, the dean of this world is still alive, everything is still in time. Nakajima Atsushi put his hands in his arms, tightly holding the watch given to him by the dean, his lips trembling as he smiled. This time, it will definitely be different.

It was as if some kind of existence had heard his wish, the wish he had expressed to the former leader who had raised Dazai Osamu in the orphanage.

"I just want to go back in time. Go back to that day, go back to the dean's office, and rewrite everything."*

achieved.

"I'm here to give you a commission."

"Don't harm the dean. Never allow any adverse actions against the dean."

The White Death of the Port Mafia said this to Nakajima Atsushi in another world.

“Don’t do anything you’ll regret.”

It sounded like an elder's warning, or a child's prayer.

The author has something to say:

*The appearance and wishes of the orphanage are from the original text

After thinking about the extra chapter about Oda Sakunosuke, I think it's best to stop at that moment, so there is no extra chapter about Oda Sakunosuke.

To celebrate the author's collection exceeding 1,000, I got up from the bed and excitedly wrote an update. Wow! I'm so happy!
