Chapter 18 Listen to the Wind Singing18

This question was quite abrupt, and even Ango Sakaguchi was startled by his straightforward question. Dazai Osamu held the notebook in his hand and placed it steadily in front of Wendy, waiting for her answer.

It not only dispels Ango's last doubts, but also gives him time to adjust his future plans.

Four days ago, Ango Sakaguchi approached him and wanted to re-investigate Shibuzawa Ryuhiko, and Dazai Osamu agreed.

However, his purpose is somewhat different from that of Sakaguchi Ango.

Danger must be strangled in the cradle.

Sakaguchi Ango's stance determines that he will not go against the Special Powers Division completely. Before the Special Powers Division or even the government changes their decision, the investigation he talks about is just an investigation.

Shibuzawa Ryuhiko got a new "helper", and Wendy happened to be the key and turning point of this matter.

Judging from the few times they had met, if she tried to probe him in a subtle way, it would give Wendy the opportunity to play dumb, so it would be better to put it out in the open. Facing these two non-combat ability holders, Wendy had no need to lie.

"Should...not necessary." Wendy shook her head.

It should not be necessary, but it can be used when necessary?

Wendy asked back, looking very confused: "Why do you think I want to kill him, Dazai-kun?"

"Taking someone's life is not as easy as breathing, nor as natural as water flowing to the lowest place. Even if he has to pay the price for his actions, it should be handed over to a human court. Whether it is a trial or a judgment, it is not my responsibility."

Dazai Osamu couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Dazai Osamu thought about how Wendy would answer, which were nothing more than affirmation, denial, and playing dumb. However, he did not expect him to say these words - the one who was at the explosion scene, facing the mess and wailing injuries, and was still indifferent as if it had nothing to do with him?

Accidents aside, as a non-human, it is reasonable for Wendy not to want to get too involved in human society. However, he suddenly mentioned the word "responsibility", which made Dazai Osamu suddenly think of the psychic who "lost his memory" in Ango's words.

Is the memory that disappeared out of thin air related to Wendy's duties?

"I have only one enemy from the beginning to the end, not you, nor anyone else." Sakaguchi Ango suddenly spoke.

Dazai looked at Sakaguchi Ango, who looked back. After a brief hesitation, Sakaguchi Ango said firmly, "Wendy said this to me when we first met."

The mist was suddenly blown away by the wind.

Wendy’s enemy was not a “human” from the beginning to the end, let alone Ryuhiko Shibuzawa.

Wendy's duty is something that was taken away from the place protected by Shibuzawa Ryuhiko, a kind of uncontrollable force.

Something can take root in the memory and subsequently affect the spirit.

So through some unconventional means, Wendy took away the memory of the psychic, and the originally out-of-control psychic returned to normal.

Dazai Osamu looked around inconspicuously to make sure that the dark dwarf was not there.

He had previously speculated that Wendy was deliberately leading them to confront Shibuzawa Ryuhiko because of the commission incident, but now he has completely rejected this idea.

In other words, Wendy had no intention of involving anyone else from the beginning to the end; he just wanted to find the stolen things by himself.

He issued commissions to the detective agency and contacted Chuuya Nakahara and the Port Mafia just to obtain information about Shibuzawa Ryuhiko.

And why he has no money, why he dresses so differently from ordinary people, why his initial words are full of loopholes, why he didn't provide contact information when he commissioned... It's all because Wendy is not a human being, but a creature similar to a monster, and naturally incompatible with human society.

All the seemingly plausible clues are strung together into a straight line at this moment. Even though some details are still shrouded in a vague mist, they do not affect the overall context of the story.

This harvest has far exceeded Dazai Osamu's expectations.

Dazai Osamu: [Because Wendy seems to be very angry about Shibuzawa's behavior, the things he took away must be dangerous, right?]

After writing these words, Dazai looked at Wendy with satisfaction for a moment.

Like a frightened cat, his green eyes widened slightly. Wendy seemed to have no idea how he knew this.

After most of the questions were answered, Dazai realized that although Wendy was powerful, her inner twists and turns were far less than those of humans.

Hoshino Nozomi was indeed shocked.

...Why did Dazai Osamu know this?

What did he just say? He didn't say anything, did he? System, do you have any idea about this?

The system was utterly annoyed by this: [I'm sorry, host, I'm such a useless AI. ]

Dazai Osamu had a smile on his lips. When he smiled, he was extremely deceptive. With his handsome appearance, he could easily trick girls into turning their heads away. However, at this moment, Hoshino Moto felt that he seemed to be emitting a dark aura, and his smile was like a black-hearted lotus.

To deny it further would be to make it even more obvious.

"Yes, it's very dangerous," Hoshino finally nodded, and then added emphatically, "I won't tell you more. This is not a problem you can solve."

Dazai Osamu's eyelashes drooped slightly, and sadness was revealed in his eyes: [Am I not a companion that Wendy trusts? ]

Xingye Wang smiled and said, "No."

[Is there no one in this world that Wendy-kun trusts? Is there anyone in this world that is more worthy of Wendy-kun's trust than me? !]

“…”

What kind of mentality did Dazai Osamu have when he said this?

He thought for a moment and said, "Of course there is. Now, it must be Chuuya-kun."

Dazai Osamu suddenly widened his eyes, and his expression instantly reminded Hoshino Nozomi of the world-famous painting "The Scream".

He staggered back two steps and leaned against the thick tree trunk in disbelief. His worldview seemed to have suffered a huge shock, so great that he could not help but mutter under his breath.

Sakaguchi Ango had no intention of translating for him, so Hoshino Motoko could only read his lips: "...Although Chuuya-kun is a little short, he's a good fighter and has a good brain... and he's very popular. It's normal for someone like me to lose to him..."

"I didn't expect Dazai-kun to think so highly of Chuuya-kun. I thought you two weren't on good terms before, but it turns out I misunderstood. I'm so sorry!"

Hoshino Nozomi suddenly realized.

Dazai Osamu couldn't laugh anymore.

After Hoshino Nozomi understood, he looked at Sakaguchi Ango who was standing beside him.

The decision of the Special Powers Division should be to protect Shibuzawa Ryuhiko. Although it is not difficult to see from previous contacts that Sakaguchi Ango is also dissatisfied with this decision, it is still unknown whether he will go against the decision of the Special Powers Division for this.

So, when he first met Sakaguchi Ango and Dazai Osamu, Hoshino Nozomi planned to pack them up and "send" them back together.

We deliver by express and reliable means. We deliver directly to Yokohama, and you will be satisfied.

Whether the recipient is satisfied or not is another matter, but the giver must be very satisfied.

But now, this plan was interrupted by Dazai Osamu's unexpected sharpness.

Mori Ogai once talked to him about the "Three Moments Concept" - in simple terms, everyone should not interfere with each other at ordinary times, and at critical moments, they should fight for the better tomorrow of Yokohama. Now that they know that Shibuzawa Ryuhiko's danger level is rising sharply, the positions of Dazai Osamu and Sakaguchi Ango may change.

"I have answered your questions, now it's your turn to answer mine," Hoshino Nozomi asked, "Now, are you still just thinking about the aftermath?"
