Chapter 29
Shen Du Jianliu quickly caught the young man.
The barrage of comments in the live broadcast room was still swiping the screen frantically.
【Oh my god, Akutagawa ahhhhh】
[Ji Liu’s new home is actually opposite Jie Jie’s home! ? 】
[Our lop-eared rabbit finally made its debut, and the chef is pleased.jpg]
[Isn't Akutagawa Dazai's subordinate? How come the two of them are assigned to the same apartment?]
[Help, Akutagawa looks badly injured]
[Liubao, please save my husband ah ah ah]
“…”
Akutagawa.
Shen Du Jianliu remembered this name.
Whether in his own world, he kept in mind the other party's renowned literary status and the Akutagawa Prize named after him, or the related information that occasionally floated by in the barrage.
The white-haired boy looked thoughtfully at the boy who had fainted in his arms.
The man was not very old, with a delicate face that looked about 15 or 16 years old. His skin was as pale as the arm he was holding up, revealing a bit of sickness.
It has been basically confirmed that Kamado Mikari was the right person. This young man with the same name as the literary giant should be similar to Oda Sakunosuke back then and does not need to be saved by himself at all.
However, there was still a kind of persistence lurking in his eyes.
This obsession often turns into madness in certain specific or extreme situations, and even gradually leads to despair.
Not to mention that the barrage also revealed a piece of information -
The other party is Dazai Osamu's direct subordinate.
People around desperate people must be paid special attention, especially those who are easily infected. In just a few seconds, Shen Du Jianliu decided to establish a good relationship with him.
As a direct subordinate, the other party should know some of Dazai Osamu's life preferences, and he could ask about them in passing.
Since it needs attention, we can't just leave it alone.
Through simple observation, Kamado Miru noticed that there were three or four very deep wounds under Akutagawa Ryunosuke's coat. He was running a low fever and the blood that seeped out almost soaked the black coat.
It was obvious that he had just been through a reckless battle or related training, and returned to his home with these injuries.
The white-haired boy thought for a moment, then lifted the other person's body, allowing Akutagawa Ryunosuke to stand and lean on his shoulder.
He lowered his head and held the other person's hand, and supported Akutagawa Ryunosuke's thumb to press it against the advanced electronic lock on the door, completing the action that the other person had just started halfway.
“Beep——”
The security door opened automatically, and the scene in the other party's home slowly emerged.
At the same time, the door of the elevator not far away suddenly opened a crack.
The steel elevator door gradually opened, and under the light, a black-haired boy with fluffy, neat hair and a bandage on his right eye walked out of the car.
He stepped lightly over the elevator threshold, glanced over here leisurely, and then - his movements suddenly stopped.
"Jianliu-kun, what are you doing?"
The young man's soft voice was tinged with silence.
"Mr. Dazai."
Shen Du Jianliu took the initiative to greet the other party and explained in detail: "This person has fainted and has four wounds on his body. I am helping him."
Dazai Osamu: “…”
"You really are saving and helping others all the time."
The black-haired boy said this with deep and empty eyes. He glanced at Akutagawa in the other's arms and said in a very cold tone: "Is this little training not enough?"
"It's useless that I haven't unlocked my defensive abilities yet."
He took out his cell phone and made a call. Not long after, someone arrived and carried the unconscious Akutagawa Ryunosuke away on a stretcher.
Shen Du Jianliu had no choice but to stop helping the other party.
The empty corridor was filled with a moment of tranquility because of this little episode.
When Dazai Osamu came, he seemed to be carrying a document. The owner of the document was not there, so he walked directly into Akutagawa Ryunosuke's open room and threw it on the shoe cabinet next to him.
After completing this series of actions, the handsome young man with soft hair turned around and looked at Shen Du Jianliu who was still standing in the corridor.
"Meet Liu Jun, why don't you go in?"
Dazai Osamu smiled and glanced at the security door behind the white-haired boy: "This is your new residence, right? How does it feel?"
"In just one week, you have accomplished three tasks that were enough to cause a sensation within the organization and bring great benefits to PortMafia. It is only natural that you get this apartment."
“That’s amazing.”
Shen Du Jian Liu looked at the other party calmly and said sincerely:
"Thank you, Mr. Dazai."
“…”
"Why thank me?" Dazai Osamu suddenly looked away, and walked out of Akutagawa Ryunosuke's room with a cold expression: "Where you want to live is none of my business."
"Should I also give others the credit I deserve?"
"sorry."
“…”
[2333 Dazai is no longer able to handle A-Ryu's straight shot]
[Zai: Failed to launch black mud attack +N]
[Give up, Dazai!] No matter what hurtful words you say on purpose, Jianliu will tolerate you, so stop pushing him away.]
[Dazai: I thank you when you praise me and apologize when you scold me. Do you have no temper at all?! 】
[Woo woo, I see the flow of emotions is very stable]
[By the way, who helped A Liu apply for the apartment?]
[When are they going to drink at Lupin? I can't wait to see their reactions]
Shen Du Jianliu browsed the barrage without changing his expression, took out his mobile phone to check the current time.
10:56, it’s already very late.
But he could ask the other person what he thought.
"Mr. Dazai, are you going back to bed? I want to see you off."
"...You really are still talking to yourself."
"Well..."
Dazai Osamu lowered his iris-colored eyes, took out his phone, scanned the time on the screen, and said softly, "It's this time already, why don't we go sit in the bar for a while."
"Jian Liujun, do you want to come with me?"
As if he suddenly thought of something interesting, the black-haired boy closed the cover of his phone with a "snap" and raised his head with a smile.
"I have a feeling that if I take you there, you'll get some very interesting reactions."
***
At this moment, Lupin.
The dim light adds a touch of warmth to the quiet bar, melodious and gentle notes flow in the air, and there are two guests sitting in front of the bar.
The first guest was wearing a light brown coat and holding a square wine glass in his hand. His deep blue eyes were like calm lake water, and he was shaking the glass in his hand leisurely.
The second guest was wearing black-framed glasses, with his bangs neatly combed back and a beauty mole at the corner of his mouth. He looked sharply towards the door following the sound of the door being pushed open.
"Dazai, you're here so late? I thought you weren't coming today... cough cough cough!!!"
Noticing someone following the black-haired boy, Sakaguchi Ango choked on the words he was about to say and spat them out.
"Ah~ Ango, Odasaku."
Dazai Osamu waved towards them with brisk steps: "We didn't originally have a fixed time to meet, but it's such a pleasant and wonderful experience to get together from time to time like this."
"What do you think of this place, Jian Liujun?"
He turned his head softly, his brown eyes moving across the calm purple eyes of the white-haired boy.
Unfortunately, Kamado Miru's expression was not as surprised as Sakaguchi Ango's. He just nodded slightly with a satisfied look: "Very quiet."
"Shendu-kun!?"
Because he was choked, Sakaguchi Ango coughed hard, causing Oda Sakunosuke beside him to take out some clean tissues and hand them to him: "Are you okay?"
"No... ahem! It's okay!!"
The black-haired young man looked at the two people who walked in one after the other in a speechless manner: "Why are you here too?"
[Hahaha, I remember Ango also wanted to invite Miru to drink, but he got there first]
[Dazai: Are you surprised? Are you surprised? 】
[I remember that Ango mentioned Lupin in front of the bug.]
[Shendu said at the time that we should make an appointment when we have time]
[No wonder Dazai said he saw interesting reactions]
"God's Ferry."
Oda Sakunosuke also greeted Kamado Miru: "You are here."
He had a calm attitude and didn't seem surprised that Shen Du Jianliu appeared here.
"You three really know each other..."
Sakaguchi Ango's expression was very complicated. He had stopped coughing and was hesitant to speak as he watched the white-haired boy with skin so transparent that his blood vessels were clear walk towards the bar. The words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat.
"Where are you going to sit? Meet Liu Jun."
Dazai Osamu naturally pulled out the chair between Sakaguchi Ango and Oda Sakunosuke.
He propped up his chin and looked at the white-haired boy's choice with interest.
"I want to sit next to Mr. Dazai."
Kamado Miru picked up an empty round chair from the edge without hesitation and placed it between Dazai Osamu and Sakaguchi Ango.
“…”
"You two have a really good relationship."
Sakaguchi Ango said with a strange tone as he took a sip of the coffee in his cup.
"Ango and Miru-kun are on good terms, too. He chose to sit next to you."
Dazai ordered a glass of whiskey, his half-revealed eyes staring calmly at the ice cubes inside: "I thought he would choose Odasaku as his neighbor on the other side."
"Have you seen it before?"
[Zai, just pretend]
[A large-scale interactive performance has begun, eating melons.jpg]
[Although we act together, we are still friends]
[Dazai knows that Ango and Kenryu know each other but pretends not to know. Ango knows that Dazai and Kenryu know each other but pretends... wait, Ango doesn't seem to know that Dazai knows? 】
[Right, Ango didn’t know at the time that the bug in the bag belonged to Dazai]
“…I’ve come into contact with it before because of work.”
Ango Sakaguchi continued to sip his coffee to calm himself down.
"You also know that I accepted the mission of an intelligence agent. Shen Du came to me to register his abilities, so we got to know each other naturally."
"and……"
The black-haired young man's glasses reflected the blurry light: "I heard Shen Du talk about eating curry with two guys before."
"The combination of 'a senior cadre and a low-level member' sounds too coincidental no matter how you look at it, so I suggested that he come to Lupin to see if the three of you really know each other."
"I didn't expect Dazai to bring Shendu-kun here ahead of time."
“I see.”
Dazai Osamu smiled and didn't talk more about this topic: "Ango is really smart. By the way, do you want to try that curry?"
“It’s spicy, but it tastes good.”
"You're right, right? Jian Liujun?" He glanced lightly at the white-haired boy sitting next to him.
"Yes, Mr. Dazai."
Upon hearing this, Oda Sakunosuke nodded to a black-haired young man wearing glasses and said, "There is also a non-spicy flavor."
Sakaguchi Ango: “…”
"Not for now."
"Oh, that's a shame - but is Ango drinking coffee?"
"Well... I drove here today because I have work to do."
"I see." Dazai Osamu turned his head and glanced at the cup in the red-haired young man's hand: "Did Odasaku choose the same distilled liquor as me?"
"Ah, nothing to do today."
Oda Sakunosuke's tone was very easygoing. He looked at the white-haired boy who was calmly browsing the bar menu with consideration: "Where's Kamado?"
“The taste here is very authentic, and you can try different flavors of wine.”
"etc……"
"Shendu-kun, can you really drink? Let's not talk about the issue of whether you are an adult or not. Is there anything wrong with your body?"
Sakaguchi Ango looked at the boy sitting next to him with distrust. Since their first meeting, the other party had pale skin, light lips, and an unhealthy gray under his eyes.
With such a sick look on his face, it seemed that even the slightest spicy food would kill him, let alone drinking.
"Are you taking any medicine or anything? Some medicines require dietary restrictions, and drinking alcohol can cause adverse reactions."
"No."
Shen Du Jian Liu shook his head obediently.
He glanced at the glass in Dazai Osamu's hand and said to the owner standing behind the bar in a frank tone: "I want a glass of whiskey."
"...You ordered a strong drink right away, Shendu-kun, you better not try to be brave."
"Ango, you worry too much. I'm also a minor."
Dazai Osamu stretched out his slender fingers and poked the round ice ball in his cup, his drawn-out tone tinged with a hint of dissatisfaction.
Having said that, he looked at Shen Du Jian Liu with a pale left eye, which was quiet and deep under the dim lights of the bar. His meaningful tone made people subconsciously feel a chill: "You really want to know everything, Jian Liu Jun."
"Are you this careful with the other 'redeemed' as well? I'm really curious if you can handle it."
…
The other two young men looked at each other across their seats but did not interrupt.
“This is my first time drinking.”
Shen Du Jianliu blinked his purple eyes, and his tone was calm and serious, revealing his peace of mind.
"If Mr. Dazai doesn't want me to choose this, I can change to something else."
“It’s all a first for me.”
"Wait, this is your first time drinking!?"
Sakaguchi Ango put down the cup and wanted to shake the thin shoulders of the white-haired boy frantically to get rid of his inexplicable remarks that were comparable to those of Dazai's brainless fans. "Even if Dazai wants you to drink 10 cups, you have to think about it and change to a lower alcohol content, right?!"
"It's no problem, Mr. Sakaguchi."
Sakaguchi Ango: “…”
"It's up to you." Dazai Osamu also withdrew his gaze and stopped talking.
Oda Sakunosuke thought that the children should try it first.
So, Kamado Miru successfully got the whiskey brought by the boss.
You can have unlimited refills after finishing your drinks, and you will be charged for the second drink only if you can't finish it. However, most people rarely refill their drinks. People come to this kind of bar just to experience the atmosphere.
Kamidori drank the whiskey in the glass in one gulp.
Yes, one mouthful.
Sakaguchi Ango's eyes almost bulged out from behind his lenses as he looked in disbelief at the empty cup in the white-haired boy's hand.
"You drank it all in one breath?!"
"Um."
"Shendu-kun, how do you feel???"
"Well enough."
Shen Du Jianliu savored the taste of the wine. It was mellow and rich, with a strong bitter aftertaste.
It turns out that Dazai Osamu likes this taste.
"Hey...that's amazing."
The black-haired boy sitting next to him looked at his calm purple eyes with some curiosity, and gently rested his bandaged hand on his chin: "Would you like another drink? I'm curious about how many drinks you can have."
"Can."
Shen Du Jianliu nodded indifferently. The alcohol had no effect on him.
If Dazai Osamu expects, he can meet all the other person's needs.
In this way, the white-haired boy drank one cup after another, and drank each cup in one breath without leaving any residue.
After all, wasting drinks is not conducive to spreading hope.
The three people around him all showed surprised expressions. Sakaguchi Ango had even gone from being shocked to accepting it calmly. He held the non-alcoholic coffee in a subtle tone, feeling that the drink the other person was holding was the drink in his hand.
"Jian Liujun, you really are a person who can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk."
"Is there a special talent in this area?"
"Um."
The skin of the slim boy was still white and transparent, and there was no sign of drunkenness on his delicate cheeks. He put down the empty glass with clear eyes.
A high school level drinking savvy, a high school level drinking expert...
This naturally belongs among his infinite talents.
However, in this peaceful atmosphere, as the four people were sitting there, Shen Du Jianliu suddenly started bleeding from his nose.
…
He lowered his eyes and raised his hand to touch the tip of his nose.
Everything is red.
“Cough…cough.”
Shen Du Jianliu coughed uncontrollably, trying to endure the itchiness in his throat and the pain that continued all the time. The taste of rust soon rose from his throat.
He frowned and covered his mouth with his other hand, but he began to cough up blood involuntarily.
The red liquid "crackled" onto the table accompanied by a cough, instantly staining the bottom of the crystal clear glass cup red.
The bar suddenly fell into deathly silence.
