Chapter 104
An outsider who is a "good person"
"Huh? What's this...?"
The man seemed to only then notice the girl standing to the side. He tilted his head in confusion, "A-Zhi, is this the child you saved?"
Dazai Osamu tilted his head and remained silent.
There's something going on.
Fuyuki blinked, straightened up, and decisively said, "Yes, it was Dazai-nii who saved me... If it weren't for Dazai-nii, I'm afraid I would be dead by now..."
It requires some acting skills.
From now on, she does not know Dazai Osamu.
As the fragile girl spoke, she seemed to lose all her strength and collapsed into the arms of a man beside her. Her shoulders trembled, and her voice gradually turned into a sob. She looked utterly pitiful.
"Waaah... Brother, I'm so scared..." Fuyuki clutched Hasebe's clothes tightly, burying his face in them, his voice choked with sobs.
Hasebe froze for a moment, but quickly continued, "Don't worry, it's alright. Da-Dazai-san has rescued us. The bad guys are gone, don't be afraid..."
On the other side, Gokotai and Tsurumaru Kuninaga also showed expressions of pain.
Seeing this, the man immediately panicked, saying, "Yes, yes, it's alright now, you're safe. Don't worry, I'm here, I'll take down whoever he is!"
He pounded his chest, his energetic tiger teeth gleaming in the sunlight.
Fuyuki paused for a moment before slowly revealing one eye, and said timidly, "Really? Big brother, no one will hurt me again?"
...I'm sorry, Tuitui, let her imitate the expression.
The way she usually pats her head and hugs her tightly should really convey the feeling of a child who poses no threat.
As for swords, cold weapons pose no threat to powerful superhumans.
Sure enough, the man in front of him nodded firmly: "Yeah, it's okay."
He glanced at Dazai Osamu without leaving a trace, then slowly leaned closer to Fuyuki, his tone gentle, his face still bearing a smile.
The man extended his hand: "I'm Dazai Ming, a member of the Armed Detective Agency. You can call me Brother Ming. Do you need any help? Our detective agency can assist you!"
Very helpful.
Is this a persona of justice?
A glimmer of hope appeared in Fuyuki's eyes: "I am Fuyuki. I want to find my family, but I've gotten separated from them... Can you... can you help me?"
"No problem, everything is fine."
As expected, they did not refuse the request of the weak.
The girl let go of the clothes of the person next to her and placed her trembling fingers on the older brother's palm.
She looked up, her dark eyes filled with tears: "Brother, you are a good person."
Dazai Ming grasped her hand firmly, smiling like the sun: "Of course."
...This is a true sunny, cheerful boy.
Fuyuki paused, her gaze sweeping over her hand, which was being gripped tightly and had even turned slightly red.
This person is so strong, my hands hurt.
Before he could think any further, his gaze suddenly shot upwards. Fuyuki quickly used his spiritual power to stop the swords' reflexes, exclaiming in surprise, "Eh?"
Dazai Ming hugged her tightly, his expression very firm: "Leave the rest to us."
"Osamu." He looked at Dazai Osamu, who was expressionless, and said naturally, seemingly unaware of the other's rejection, "The mission objective has been completed. Let's go back."
Dazai Osamu replied calmly, "...Ah, okay."
"Don't be so cold, Osamu," Dazai complained, but his smile remained unchanged. "Come on, let's go back. We must help Fuyuki find a home."
"With Mr. Ranpo here, these are all a piece of cake."
Fuyuki keenly noticed that this guy's attention had never left Dazai Osamu.
but--
Why did she choose this tactic?!
This guy clearly has no idea how to take care of a child; his way of holding the baby is so unfamiliar and awkward...
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
She moved slightly away from Dazai Ming, masking her helplessness, and kept telling herself that this was the hardship of work!
It's okay, it's okay...
【Little Winter Tree~】
A voice suddenly appeared in her mind, interrupting her rambling. It sounded aggrieved: "So many strangers have come in, and I can't throw them out. It all happened so suddenly."
It's a stray dog.
Dongshu realized it instantly.
However, there was something about that voice that sounded a little guilty.
"Yes, I'm here. I've found the problem." She urged, "Hurry up and patch the hole."
The little stray dog complained: "I'm already riddled with holes, so many, I can't patch them all up. Even the parallel worlds are becoming unstable..."
There's nothing we can do.
Don't be afraid, I'm here.
Fuyuki felt helpless; her immature worldview prevented her from achieving the maturity and dedication of her older sister, Ju.
【Waaah... Little Winter Tree, you're so kind! Please contact me if you have any problems! I've fixed the connection, so we won't be out of contact again!】
Previously, in the world of the Boss, the Little Wild Dogs were out of contact, and all the information was proactively provided to Fuyuki by Yokohama.
However, what the city's will see will inevitably be less comprehensive than what the world sees.
【Okay~】Fuyuki instantly transformed into a reliable senior, 【Leave it to me, leave it to me! I'll handle it!】
She didn't get that salary for nothing!
The burning passion in my heart to dedicate myself to my work, even unto death, is raging fiercely.
She calmed herself down, looked at the resolute Dazai Ming, then at the expressionless Dazai Osamu, and then at Hasebe Shikiri, who was about to snatch the person away...
Did her sword also realize that Dazai Ming has absolutely no idea how to hold a child?!
But please hold back!
Even aside from the issue of movement, this guy's entire being is—
The aura of someone from another world was repulsive.
It's okay!
Fuyuki tried to comfort herself.
It was hot and stuffy, and I felt a little sleepy.
It's practically the standard prelude to work.
It's true, they don't give anyone a chance to relax at all.
Dongshu sighed.
Her existence is clearly solely for work.
Think, think, think, you have to think hard, get close to people and establish your identity... and then what?
The goal is to find and sever the source of that strange connection between him and the world.
Without a doubt, this guy's target is Dazai Osamu.
Dazai.
He used this surname, but her intuition told her that this guy definitely didn't originally have this name.
...Trying to get closer? Or is this identity directly related to Dazai?
What was it that gave him a foothold in this world, so that even a stray dog couldn't just throw him out?
The world itself recognized him as an original inhabitant, and the world consciousness's attempt to subjectively throw him out was thwarted by an invisible force.
That's pretty impressive.
"Would you like something to drink, Xiao Dongshu?" came the sudden question.
"Um?"
Fuyuki snapped out of her reverie and saw a coffee shop. She shook her head, her expression forlorn: "No. If possible, I want to go home quickly. Everyone... everyone must be so worried about me..."
The coffee didn't taste good.
"It's alright, we'll definitely help you find your family, don't worry." Dazai Ming smiled brightly, looking very enthusiastic.
Fuyuki smiled even brighter than him: "Yes! I believe you!"
He seems like a really good person.
But with such a good personality, why would you do something to disrupt other people's world?
Therefore, he definitely has a problem.
—So what exactly is wrong with this person, besides the fact that he used too much force?
Dongshu was getting a little frantic.
Dazai Ming led her upstairs, enthusiastically introducing everything along the way, chattering incessantly.
"Little Winter Tree".
Dazai Osamu suddenly interrupted, and several gazes immediately fell on him.
Dazai Osamu spoke very softly, and as he stood there, he seemed to merge into the world.
He said, "Don't worry, your problem will definitely be solved."
Fuyuki: "?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open, revealing the Armed Detective Agency.
She turned her head and instantly met those familiar green eyes.
