Chapter 40 I'm not helping you, I just love you and your dog
A month later.
Kotori Hayana suddenly received an order from the leader——
[All Port Mafia members are prohibited from attacking Mimic again.]
When she received this order, what surged in her heart was not the relief that the incident was about to end, but an endless panic that filled her entire heart.
The panic under the setting sun is like the coldest days of winter.
…
A month ago.
The transaction with the Black Organization has been stabilized and is proceeding smoothly according to the established plan.
After Ryunosuke Akutagawa's threatening warnings at the hotel and the police's failure to substantially resolve the problem, a four-member investigation team consisting of Jinpei Matsuda, Kenji Hagiwara, Daiki Aomine and Ryota Kise confirmed a few days later that Ryota Kise's life was no longer in danger. At this point, the overt investigation was lifted and a covert investigation began.
Through the research on the decomposition of the drugs provided by the Black Organization, they gradually developed a special medicine that can suppress lung disease. The condition of Ryunosuke Akutagawa in the organization was significantly delayed. At home, the medicine that Hayana Takanashi brought to her mother and Mitsuha Okita also had a significant therapeutic effect.
Everything is going in a good direction.
It went so smoothly that it seemed as if a happy future of healing could be seen in the next moment.
Until an unknown armed group suddenly landed in Yokohama.
They raided the Port Mafia's seaside warehouse - the weapons vault.
Three guards were brutally shot at close range with a submachine gun, and the guns in the warehouse were stolen.
All the pain, four years of separation, started from here.
【ghost】.
"It's a very old European pistol." Hayanasaku Takanashi stood aside and took the photo handed over by Dazai Osamu.
The photo shows a man wearing a cloak that covers his entire body, with a gun from the last century tucked into his waist.
"Yes, even older than Mr. Hirotsu." Dazai Osamu took the curry rice handed over by the boss, scooped up a spoonful and ate it, and his face turned red instantly because of the spiciness.
So spicy... so spicy... it could be called lava curry!
"Mr. Oda always eats curry this spicy."
At the boss's kind voice, Hayana Takanashi pushed the water in front of her towards the boy, her eyes still fixed on the photo.
A pistol with average accuracy and burst performance.
In today's rapidly developing world of firearms performance, it has long been classified as an obsolete product.
Then - the existence of this gun is very intriguing.
After drinking a large glass of water, the spicy taste was barely suppressed. Dazai explained, "It's something like a badge."
Kotori Hayana looked at him and said, "In other words, it's not an ordinary organization."
Ordinary organizations would not dare to raid cadres and seize the weapons vault of the port mafia.
They are even more afraid to confront the port mafia head-on.
There was a burst of playfulness coming from upstairs, and the unique lively sounds of children could not be ignored even through the floor.
The main reason why Hayana Takanashi appeared in this seaside curry shop, which is also the residence of Sakunosuke Oda, was the sudden disappearance of Ango Sakaguchi.
In just two nights, the intelligence officer disappeared, Dazai Osamu was ambushed by an armed group, the weapons vault was lost, and the port mafia was in chaos.
She suspected that these things did not happen by chance, but were the result of a series of connected conspiracies.
When Dazai was contacted, he said he was eating at a curry restaurant.
When Hayana Kotori arrived here to meet him, she discovered that the five children adopted by Oda Sakunosuke lived on the second floor of this curry shop.
Listening to the noise upstairs, Hayana Kotori asked, "Is it okay for me to come here?"
She thought Dazai didn't want Oda Sakunosuke to come into contact with high-level people.
So, when she knew that he was the "Odasaku" mentioned by Dazai, she immediately stopped contacting him.
But now, she, a high-ranking official, actually came directly to Odasaku's residence.
"It's okay." His voice was a little hoarse from the spicy food. Dazai Osamu supported his chin with his hand and said with a smile: "Saana is the most important person to me, and I trust Saana completely."
As soon as he came downstairs and heard what Dazai Osamu said, Oda Sakunosuke walked over and sat down next to the boy.
After taking the curry and thanking the boss, he looked at the profile of the boy next to him - how important is what Dazai just said is the most important?
Is it important enough to make him give up the idea of suicide?
The answer is no.
He also witnessed the scene of the young man seeking death last night.
He stood opposite the sniper with a gun, talking, hoping to be led to the other side by the dying man.
Although he later explained that he said that because he knew the other party couldn't hit accurately and that it was just acting, Oda Sakunosuke knew that it was just an excuse.
Kotori Hayana looked at Oda Sakunosuke and teased him, "I didn't realize you were such a kind person."
As a member of the port mafia, he does not kill people and has adopted several orphans who lost their parents in the Dragon Head War. People like Oda Sakunosuke can be regarded as unique among the mafia.
Swallowing the curry in his mouth, Oda Sakunosuke's expression remained calm and composed: "They are just too pitiful."
"I'm just following my heart. I'm not doing any good deed."
"Ah?" Hayana Takanashi looked at him with a subtle look.
Saying such words calmly and expressionlessly really gives people a subtle feeling of frustration.
It was as if nothing in the world could make his expression shatter.
——This person doesn’t complain.
"What a strange person," she commented.
A strange person who has a kind heart but won't admit it.
The same goes for people. When those blue eyes look at you, you can seem to see infinite tolerance and calm emotions in them.
Although he is not much older than her and Dazai, his appearance gives people the feeling that he has experienced a lot.
Hearing the girl's comment, Oda Sakunosuke looked over and said, "Strange?"
Dazai next to him, and the girl next to Dazai who was saying that he was weird, these two people were even weirder than him, right?
Compared to the strange Dazai who likes to commit suicide and the mysterious Totoro who has an unfathomable relationship with Dazai and Nakahara, he really can't be called strange.
While eating and analyzing intelligence, Dazai Osamu received a phone call, and the curve of his lips was dark and obscure.
Among the several traps he set, one caught his prey.
After saying goodbye, Dazai Osamu and Oda Sakunosuke left one after another, leaving only Kotori Hayato who wanted to stay here for a while.
She wanted to understand Oda Sakunosuke, who was called "Healing Type" by Dazai Osamu.
"Boss, I want a curry too." She ordered.
There were not many customers in this restaurant in the morning. While eating, she learned some things about Oda Sakunosuke from the owner.
A man who supports five orphaned children with a meager salary.
And he doesn't live here, he just sends living expenses every once in a while.
Hayana Takanashi listened without saying anything, paid the money and left.
The boss behind her looked at her walking away and felt strange: "Are you... a little angry?"
…
The next morning, a meeting of five major cadres was held.
In addition to Chuuya who was on a business trip and Verlaine who was underground, three other cadres, Dazai Osamu, Ozaki Koyo and A, attended the meeting.
At the end of the meeting, the leader gave the order - Ryunosuke Akutagawa would lead the fighting faction to fight against Mimic.
Akutagawa Ryunosuke is very strong, but he is not someone who can defeat Mimic now. Why would the leader give such an order?
Hayana Takanashi always feels that something is not right.
Until the news of the battle came, Akutagawa Ryunosuke was rescued single-handedly by Oda Sakunosuke, and the leader of Mimic did not kill Oda Sakunosuke who was injured by him for some reason, and chose to retreat.
Lying on the sofa, Dazai stared at the ceiling: "Isn't it strange?"
Hayana Kotori also found it strange, but she didn't agree with him: "Aren't you going to see Akutagawa?"
His subordinate was injured, but he lay in her office from early morning until three in the morning?
Hayana Takanashi said that she was too sleepy to hold on any longer and hoped that he could give up the sofa that belonged to her to catch up on her sleep.
"No." The boy rubbed his cheek against the soft pillow, "I want to be with Hayana."
Kotori Hayato was stunned for a moment: "Why are you suddenly saying something like that?"
Why does he act like he's going to leave here in the next second?
A light bulb went off in her head, and Takanashi Hayana suddenly figured out the connection between all the things!
Even though she didn't understand much about the situation now, she still figured out the purpose of all the events. This was the only time her brain worked faster than Dazai's.
You can't say that.
It is also possible that Dazai's words "How strange" just now were a deliberate reminder.
The black and white eyes looked at the boy who was still buried in the soft sofa. Hayana Takanashi thought that she had already anticipated what would happen next.
Dazai didn't say anything.
Even the leader thought that she didn't have the brains to do so and was careless.
She can resolve all the conspiracies and tricks that are coming towards Dazai Osamu, and can protect the person in front of her, just like the defensive form of her supernatural power, which can protect him tightly.
Although Dazai is very strong, he does not need human protection in many cases.
But this time it's different.
If her guess was correct, Dazai was no longer able to mobilize any soldiers of the Port Mafia.
And Mimic... although she didn't know the details of this organization, she didn't know why they came to Japan to fight against the Port Mafia.
But she understood the chief.
She understood Mori Ogai.
If Mori Ogai wanted to force Dazai away, besides focusing on her and Chuuya, the other one left was Oda Sakunosuke, who was a mafia member but did not shoot or kill people, only did errands and could not bring any benefits to the organization.
Mori Ogai will not touch her and Chuuya. Not only are the interests involved too great, it will easily discourage the people within the organization. More importantly, unless he is prepared to kill Dazai, he will not go all the way.
As for the remaining Oda Sakunosuke, touching him will not cause turmoil within the organization and force Dazai to leave, and will also allow the organization to gain the greatest benefit from Oda Sakunosuke's powerful strength.
——A license for opening a business with special abilities.
A good plan that kills two birds with one stone.
Takanashi Hayana picked up her bag and left the office.
"Where are you going?" Dazai Osamu's somewhat soft voice came when she opened the door.
She turned around, her expression normal: "I'll give you the office. I'm going back to sleep."
The door was closed.
In a room lit only by a small desk lamp, Dazai Osamu finally stopped pretending. He stared at the ceiling with his lips tightly pursed.
He received a piece of intelligence tonight.
It says there is a special ability. One of the side effects after it enters the human body through a bite is that it can cure all diseases, including lung disease.
The information was sent by Mr. Mori.
He knew the deal and the price to be paid.
But he still got the information in his hands.
Had Hayana gone to resolve the threat to him? Resolving Odasaku's issue, in her view, was helping him, and she would spare no effort to resolve it.
Just for him.
Don't let him be forced by Mr. Mori.
However, that man was more scheming than anyone else and would do anything to achieve his goal.
Early Asana is destined to be disappointed.
He will also leave voluntarily.
…
Early in the morning, when Oda Sakunosuke arrived at the curry shop with a big bag of candy and snacks, he found the boss lying in the cabinet, his life or death unknown. His eyes widened, and a bad premonition suddenly enveloped his heart!
Sure enough, when he rushed upstairs, there was no trace of the children in the messy room!
There were mixed sobbing and shouting sounds coming from downstairs. Oda Sakunosuke opened the doors and windows and saw the noisy commotion coming from the long van parked in the yard.
The kids are right up there!
He jumped down from the second floor, rolled on the ground to cushion his impact. The moment he looked up, he saw the car curtains being opened and a familiar childish face calling for help!
Oda Sakunosuke was lifted up and ran towards the car with nimble movements.
As we were getting closer, there was a sound of explosion inside the car!
The strange thing was that apart from the entire car body shaking, there was no fire or impact caused by the explosion.
Without having time to think, the moment he stepped forward to open the car door, Oda Sakunosuke, who was in a panic, was stunned.
"Ms. Kotori?" He looked at the black-haired girl sitting in the seat.
Inside the small car, the children huddled together and hugged each other. When they saw Oda Sakunosuke standing at the door, they cried as if they saw a god coming, and rushed towards him.
His tall figure caught the five little kids, and Oda Sakunosuke comforted them fearfully: "It's okay, it's okay. I'm sorry, it's all my fault for not protecting you."
"I'm here." Hayana Takanashi stood up.
Because the roof of the car was not high, she hunched over and her expressionless face was particularly oppressive.
Oda Sakunosuke looked around. The Mimic people were fixed by the ropes revealed by the blood, and there was black blood at the corners of their mouths.
They bit the poison in their teeth.
The bottom of the car was covered by a transparent barrier, and bomb fragments appeared due to the lack of oxygen after the explosion.
"You should know Mimic's base." She said.
Oda Sakunosuke didn't intend to give it to her: "I will take care of the rest."
Although he didn't understand why she suddenly appeared here and saved the children, he would deal with those who hurt the children and touched his bottom line.
"You misunderstood. There's no room for negotiation between us." Hayana Kotori looked coldly at the man at the car door. "If you refuse me, these children will pay the price for your decision."
She is serious.
Without a doubt about this, Oda Sakunosuke hugged the frightened children tightly.
Kotori Hayato continued, "I think you misunderstood. I didn't come here to save the children you adopted. I came here to get the location of Mimic's headquarters from you."
"Hand it—over."
…
Looking at the girl's back as she walked away after getting the address, Oda Sakunosuke frowned tightly.
He saw murderous intent laced with anger in her.
It's real anger.
If his Achilles' heel was the children, then hers had obviously also been touched.
By the time Oda Sakunosuke had settled the children, he rushed to the Mimic base, an abandoned villa deep in the mountains.
Countless Mimic men were lying on the leaf-covered ground outside the villa. He gripped the gun tightly in his hand and walked inside. Along the way, he saw countless corpses in various postures.
Until he opened a door.
Inside the door, the girl stood with her back to him.
Opposite her, the Mimic leader was suspended in the air with his hands flapping like wings, countless blood lines piercing through his body, gathering at his feet in terrifying, winding, bright red lines.
The girl turned around, and the bloodstains on her delicate face made her look eerily beautiful.
She looked at Oda Sakunosuke: "It's over."
“The ability to predict the future, no matter how well you can predict the future, there are countless opportunities to brush shoulders with death and change the future from the present.
——However, once you encounter an attack that cannot be avoided and a defense that cannot be broken.
Predicting the future would be a joke."
Putting away the gun, Oda Sakunosuke asked her, "Why?"
"The Silver Hand Order has lost its effect. Why would you attack Mimic now that the Port Mafia is avoiding conflict with them?"
"I actually admired you at the beginning, but later on I didn't like you that much." Hayana Takanashi turned around completely, and the sunset glow behind her gradually faded.
"You watched Dazai's life with cold eyes, watching him wandering in the darkness. Everyone has their own persistence and stance. I have no right to blame you, but I can hate you from my own standpoint."
With her back to the setting sun, her face was completely covered in shadow.
She said: "This time, I am not helping you, I just love you and your dog."
After the last few words faded away.
Oda Sakunosuke opened his eyes uncontrollably.
Behind him was Dazai Osamu, who had arrived at some point, leaning against the wall outside the door.
