As if he heard a voice from hell, Nakajima Atsushi stumbled back and fell to the ground. He was breathing rapidly. The word "Dean" was no less than his biggest nightmare in his heart. No, it should be said that it was the nightmare itself. "You, what are you talking about?!"

Whenever I heard the word "Dean", my body would tremble unconsciously and my heart would freeze. "Who on earth are you?!"

The black Nakajima Atsushi looked down at him, "I am Nakajima Atsushi, the Nakajima Atsushi from the parallel world who killed the dean and teacher with my own hands."

Nakajima Atsushi suddenly remembered Mr. Nakahara whom he had met before. He was also from a parallel world. According to him, his self in that world joined the Port Mafia.

"Have you joined the port mafia?" Nakajima Atsushi stood up with the help of Tanizaki Junichiro.

"Yes." Like a pale silhouette, the young man, whose presence was suppressed to the extreme, nodded. "Nice to meet you, everyone from the Armed Detective Agency of this world. I am Nakajima Atsushi, the White Death of the Port Mafia."

The boy introduced himself to them politely.

"What do you mean by killing the dean with your own hands?!" Nakajima Atsushi's hands were shaking unconsciously, and he stared at the young man and asked, with a guess in his mind that he himself was not sure of.

The black Nakajima Atsushi smiled at him and said softly, "I ordered my men to block the surrounding area and attacked the orphanage. After cutting off the telephone lines and destroying the moving vehicles, I transformed into a tiger and broke into the dormitory."*

"Then in the dean's office, I pierced the dean's chest with my hand and killed him with my own hands."

While they were talking, all the members of the Armed Detective Agency who had no fighting ability quietly evacuated, leaving only the members with special abilities who were vigilantly surrounding Heidun.

Nakajima Atsushi was like a statue, listening to Heidun's topic motionlessly for a long time, until Tanizaki Junichiro called him worriedly, then he moved, "No, I'm fine, haha, hahahahahahaha!" Nakajima Atsushi began to laugh dryly,

“He’s dead. He was, killed by my own hands! That devil, that demon, that man, he’s dead. Hahahahahaha, hahaaaaah, wuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”

Finally, he broke down and cried like a child, "Wuuuuuuuuuuu, ahhhhhhhhh!"

Heidun just stood there, looking expressionlessly at the distorted expression on Nakajima Atsushi's face, and then said, "Listen, Nakajima Atsushi, that happened in my world, not yours. The dean and teacher here are still alive and well."

Nakajima Atsushi's voice suddenly stopped. He stared at Heidun with wide eyes and heard Heidun say, "Nakajima Atsushi, think about it carefully. Did you really not find out?"

"What?"

Nakajima Atsushi asked stupidly.

Heidun turned his head to Tanizaki Junichiro and said, "I want to talk to him alone. Is that possible?"

Tanizaki looked at Nakajima worriedly, and Nakajima nodded. "Please," he said, "we want to talk alone."

"Okay, if anything happens, be sure to call me!" Tanizaki Junichiro said, and took the last remaining members to leave the Armed Detective Agency and went to the cafe downstairs to wait for news.

After watching them leave, Nakajima Atsushi asked, "Can we talk now? What did you mean just now?"

Heidun: "You already know that you are a man-eating tiger. Then why don't you think about why you only found out that the so-called man-eating tiger was you after you left the orphanage?"

"Is it a coincidence, or is it because someone has been hiding from you the fact that the violent white tiger that destroyed the orphanage and committed acts of harm was Nakajima Atsushi?"

…

"No, absolutely not, that's not the case." Nakajima Atsushi said, "Absolutely not...!"

He was interrupted by Heidun before he could finish his words, "What's not?!"

The boy, wearing a high-collared black jacket that covered his throat, began to speak faster. "Do you remember that when you were a child, a man who claimed to be a doctor came to the orphanage. He was a man with long white hair and red eyes. Do you remember what happened after he came?"

Nakajima Atsushi looked at him blankly.

"The tiger killed him."

Nakajima Atsushi Kurama took a step back and bumped his head against the desk, but he didn't seem to feel any pain at all. He looked at Heidun as if he were a terrifying devil.

"That man was a researcher who came to the orphanage secretly to investigate tigers. He was killed by you who turned into a white tiger. If this matter were to be made public, you, the true form of a tiger that causes harm, would surely be executed." Heidun continued as if he had not seen Nakajima Atsushi's reaction, "And you are still alive and well, why is that? Why did you find out that the tiger that destroyed the fields and hurt people was you after you left the orphanage?"

"Stop, shut up, don't say anymore..."

Heidun ignored him and continued to talk, tearing open the wound again with his own hands, "It was the dean. It was the dean who personally erased the incident. He floated the researcher's body down the river and burned all the belongings. Then he made everyone in the orphanage say that no researcher had ever visited here. Then he confirmed that I had no memory of my transformation and locked me up in the reflection room in the basement."*

“He made us believe that tigers were beasts that appeared from afar and had nothing to do with us,” Heidun said. “The dean knew us better than anyone else.”

Heidun walked towards Nakajima Atsushi and stood in front of him. "The dean once said something to us in the reflection room," Heidun leaned over and whispered in his ear, "'A-Dun, if you want to hate, hate me. You will definitely go out into the world in the future. When that time comes, A-Dun, you can hate me, but never hate yourself.' Do you still remember it?"

Heidun paused, "You must remember when Tiger made a mess of everything and was locked in the reflection room, right?"

There was a faint smell of blood in the air. Although no one was injured, both of them looked as if they had been seriously injured and their faces were pale.

Nakajima Atsushi waved away Heidun, "No, even so, even so, I can't forgive him! I can't forgive him. I was really miserable at that time! I was beaten until my teeth fell out, and he peeled off my nails one by one with pliers. I was so hungry that I could only hide in a corner, looking for anything to fill my stomach like crazy, whether it was weeds or dirt!"

"To this day, no matter what he has done, I cannot forgive him!! My nightmare, that demon, the source of all my pain, is all because of him!!!"

“I can’t forgive this at all!!!”

"No," Heidun looked at him, "You don't need forgiveness, and the dean doesn't need forgiveness either. I tell you all this just to prevent you from doing anything you'll regret. As long as you don't do anything to the dean, everything is still in time."

"Hey, look what I found? A pitch-black white tiger."

As they were talking, a frivolous voice was heard. Dazai Osamu, who appeared at the doorway out of nowhere, greeted them with a smile, "I was caught by Kunikida-kun on my way into the water. Wow~ An angry Kunikida-kun is really scary~"

"Mr. Dazai!"*2

Two voices rang out at the same time, and the white tiger and the black tiger stood together, like a mirror. The tigers that took different paths showed different expressions to their mentor, one was an expression of seeking help, the other was an expression of remembrance mixed with respect.

Dazai Osamu said with a smile: "Did I interrupt your conversation? I'm really sorry." Although he said this, there was no sign of apology on his face.

"No," Heidun was the first to react, "Mr. Dazai, not at all."

He stood up straight, put his hands behind his back, and lowered his head slightly to Dazai Osamu. It seemed that he had already acquired this habit a long time ago, and he acted like this reflexively.

Dazai Osamu: "Are you afraid of me, Atsushi-kun? Am I a particularly annoying person in your world? Why are you so nervous?"

Heidun replied anxiously, "No, Mr. Dazai, you saved me. As your subordinate, this is the right attitude."

Dazai Osamu did not say anything, but looked at Hei Dun with eyes that Nakajima Atsushi could not understand, and then smiled: "Is that so? Atsushi-kun has worked hard."

"No, not at all." At this moment, Heidun showed a completely different state of being tamed from before. He lowered his head to Dazai Osamu and answered with the attitude of a tamed beast.

Dazai smiled and did not mention what they had just talked about. Instead, he said something else, "It's almost noon. Do you want to have lunch together?"

This sentence was like a signal. A loud "Gu~~" sound suddenly rang out in the Armed Detective Agency. A hint of red appeared on Heidun's pale face. "Sorry!"

He had been on the move since he came to this world and had not eaten anything. After hearing what Dazai Osamu said, his body seemed to suddenly regain its instincts, loudly clamoring for its own needs, and no matter how hard Heidun tried to control it, he couldn't.

"Gu~"

"Gu~~"

“Gugu~~~~”

The noises grew louder and more frequent, and Heidun's face became redder and redder. He wished a hole would appear in the ground so he could hide in it and disappear from Dazai Osamu's sight.

Ouch! How embarrassing!

How could you be so rude in front of Mr. Dazai!!

“Hahahahahahahaha! Atsushi-kun, you’re so cute!” Dazai Osamu laughed while holding his stomach. “Atsushi-kun here must be hungry too. Let’s go eat together!”

"Let's go eat together without being noticed by Kunikida-kun!" Dazai Osamu suggested cheerfully. Although Nakajima Atsushi was still in a complicated mood, he said reflexively when he heard this, "Mr. Dazai! You haven't even finished processing your documents yet! Mr. Kunikida told me to process the documents by myself and not to let me help you anymore!"

Dazai Osamu waved his hands nonchalantly: "Atsushi-kun, don't worry about Kunikida-kun. When I came here, I said that I would be in charge of the two of you from now on, so don't worry about him!"

Nakajima Atsushi asked suspiciously, "Really? Mr. Dazai, you didn't lie to me this time?"

"Of course! Am I the kind of bad senior who always bullies the younger generation?!" Dazai Osamu said without changing his expression, sounding extremely righteous.

Good man, it really looks like that.

Araki maintained his dark expression and rolled his eyes in his heart.
