Epilogue to Chapter 117 (Part 11): A Chieftain Fished from the River
"A haunted house? What haunted house?"
"Those headquarters buildings that were originally called 'Port Mafia,' which I later transformed into the haunted house 'House of the Dead Rats.'"
Ye Yihe looked at Dazai Osamu with confusion.
Dazai Osamu looked back at Ye Yihe in shock.
The two looked at each other in silence for a moment.
Ye Yihe suddenly realized, "Oh dear, I forgot I couldn't tell you that!"
If Dazai, the young man who grew up in the Port Mafia, knew that he had destroyed the Port Mafia and then renamed it "The House of the Dead Rats," would he faint from anger?
He had just overheard the other person claiming to be the leader of the "Port Mafia," and before he knew it, he had blurted out his plans to please him. Oh no.
Young Dazai Osamu silently turned to look at Ye Yihe, his eyes filled with accusation, "…………"
It's a wonder he deliberately didn't expose Ye Yihe, and was even forced to admit that he was Fyodor's subordinate of the "Rats in the House of the Dead"... How come it was Yihe who messed up first!
I should have known better than to say that. Damn it, another embarrassing thing I've done.
Fortunately, Fyodor didn't hear it.
Ye Yihe clasped his hands together and sincerely apologized to his master, Dazai.
"Because the other you seems to be in a really bad state, and you just happened to get a new clue, you might accidentally..." subconsciously want to be nicer to him...
Both Dazai Osamu present remained silent for a moment, pondering the unspoken implication of this sentence.
"Make an extra serving of crab rice."
The young Dazai narrowed his iris-shaped eyes slightly and spoke first.
"no problem!"
Ye Yihe readily agreed and made a deal with his own Grand Tutor.
Then, he looked at the young Dazai somewhat embarrassedly and tentatively coaxed, "How about... I build you a recreation of the interior of the [Port Mafia]?"
"…………"
The young Dazai did not directly accept or reject Ye Yihe's suggestion. Instead, he scanned the group with a subtle look in his eyes, and after countless thoughts had passed through his mind, he suddenly asked a question.
"So, what is Dr. Mori's current status?"
Ye Yihe then looked at Sen Ougai and repeated the question, "What is your current status?"
He wasn't sure if the other person had any other side businesses besides running a small clinic as an unlicensed doctor—after all, based on what the two Dazai had said, this person was extremely ambitious and unscrupulous in doing things.
Mori Ōgai: "…………"
Under the scrutiny of several pairs of eyes, he was so depressed that he wanted to sigh deeply. "With Mr. Fyodor's tireless 'help' over the past few years, the underground intelligence dealers' business has long been unable to continue, and even their clinics are about to close down."
"Does that mean Dr. Mori has no chance of becoming the leader of the Port Mafia?"
A joyful smile instantly appeared on young Dazai's face. "I'm so happy to have such good news. I can eat two more bowls of rice at dinner."
Mori Ōgai, whose back was chilled to the bone: "…………"
Oh no, I can feel a sharp killing intent coming from behind me.
"It seems you did something very bad to Dazai in another world, Dr. Mori."
Standing behind him, Ye Yihe spoke softly, "Perfect, you were one of the survivors when the [Port Mafia] was destroyed... I'll send you to the military police later."
Mori Ougai was immediately shocked. "I haven't even had a chance to do anything in this world yet!"
"It's not up to you."
Ye Yihe said calmly, "However, since you are so certain that you have done nothing wrong, I will hand you over to the [Hound]. There are two experts there who are skilled in interrogation."
Since he had indirectly fulfilled Fukuchi Sakura's wish, and his method of using [Kamito Ame Gozen] was quite popular among the [Hound] members, he had a pretty good relationship with Tōno and Yōko, and they even exchanged contact information.
Anyway, Ye Yihe wouldn't easily believe Mori Ougai's words, since he didn't have the ability to detect lies, so he would naturally hand it over to a professional to handle.
If Mori Ougai really hadn't done anything wrong in the past, then of course the Hound wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for him.
Upon hearing this conversation, the young Dazai's smile grew even more delightful.
He was no longer surprised to hear that the leader of the "House of the Dead" and the "Hounds" under government control were also close friends.
If the "House of the Dead Rats" could squeeze out the "Port Mafia," occupy its headquarters, and turn to running a haunted house, what news could possibly cause him to lose his composure?
It's better to be happy that Dr. Mori has been severely punished in this world.
"Although this world is a mess,"
At this moment, the young Dazai felt more relaxed than ever before—he was fortunate enough to witness a miracle beyond what was recorded in the book, which was displayed before him and reflected in his eyes.
"But I don't hate it."
You can tell just how much he enjoys being here from his subtle expressions.
Seeing that the thin, stray cat had finally stopped appearing negative and desperate, and even showed signs of being willing to get close to people, Ye Yihe was overjoyed.
“Then,” he blinked, and asked the young Dazai again to confirm, “you agree to stay here?”
"Want to become an employee of the House of the Dead? Let me give it a try."
Compared to the stubborn young Dazai who refused to frankly admit his identity, the young Dazai spoke lightly and accepted it readily.
"Perhaps we'll see even more surprises."
"--Very good!"
As the saying goes, "Heaven rewards those who persevere," and Ye Yihe, having finally succeeded in retaining the young Grand Tutor, clapped his hands in front of him and exclaimed with great joy.
"I'll go tell Fedia the good news right now!"
Young Dazai: "…………"
The astute young Dazai, noticing the flaw in the statement, asked: "...Who are you calling, Fei Jia?"
The young Dazai sighed silently, not wanting to speak.
"My real name is Ihe. I am the embodiment of Fedya's second personality, and also Fedya's lover,"
Overjoyed that he no longer needed to hide his identity, Ye Yihe confessed everything to the young Dazai.
"The Fedor you're thinking of is probably referring to him. But it doesn't matter, Fedia assured me he won't try to destroy the world again, he's been behaving himself."
“…”
"This is too much of a surprise!!"
…………
The next day.
Customers visiting the "House of the Dead" were surprised to find a new sign erected at the front desk.
[Surprise! A limited-time trial instance makes its grand debut: The Port Mafia Leader draped in a red scarf—a corrupted reaper who reigns supreme over the darkness of Yokohama.]
“…” Pushkin, who had been staring at the slogan for a long time, finally couldn’t help but complain when he got to the lounge.
"I think that given Dazai's outstanding achievements in portraying the White Reaper, even if he were to become the leader of a mafia gang now, he couldn't be called corrupted..."
Even if you said it was a natural performance, it wouldn't feel out of place at all...
But it's incredibly popular, always packed, with screams everywhere—I just don't understand those players.
Sigma was on high alert, so nervous he almost had a stomachache. "I heard from Ihe that this young version of Dazai isn't in good mental health and needs more care... Chuuya-kun, I'm counting on you."
Chuuya was intently tugging at the cuffs of his black suit, letting a small section of his dark red shirt peek out—apparently, this was a matter of etiquette when wearing a suit, but he, used to wearing loose-fitting coats, only felt it was too restrictive.
He always felt that the pure black leather strap around his neck was a bit tight, making it hard to breathe.
Hearing Sigma speak to him, Chuuya responded slowly and deliberately, "I know—. By the way, that guy is clearly more attached to Odasaku, why not let him be a member of this Port Mafia?"
“According to the script written by that Dazai-kun,” Sigma flipped through the thick stack of papers in his hand, “Oda Sakunosuke is the righteous NPC responsible for leading the players to storm the port mafia, while you and he are the evil villains who are stationed at the headquarters… Therefore, Oda Sakunosuke cannot stay by his side forever.”
Chuuya: "...Why am I the one who's the evil villain?"
This guy seemed particularly pessimistic and world-weary just a couple of days ago, but now he can finish a script in just one night. He seems to have recovered quite well. I wonder how Iher did it.
Tsk, I don't really want to be Dazai's subordinate, no matter which world's Dazai... but this suit suits his taste quite well, and being an outlaw thug is also quite interesting... Damn it, this dilemma of both anticipation and reluctance.
Just then, the doorknob was gently turned, and a young man named Dazai, dressed in a pure black long-sleeved coat and suit, and wearing a long red scarf, appeared at the door.
This leader's outfit was the one he wore when Oda Sakunosuke pulled him out of the river.
Even when it was replaced by Oda Sakunosuke, he didn't throw it away. Instead, he carefully washed it, dried it, and stored it away.
"Oh, Chuuya."
Dazai, dressed as a leader, tilted his head slightly and looked over with his right eye, which was the only part of his eye showing. "It's a very cool outfit. It's already very similar to the Chuuya I remember."
Chuuya's cobalt blue eyes subtly lit up, clearly pleased by the compliment, but he didn't want to show it too obviously in front of Dazai.
"Hmph... Well, cough, of course."
He cleared his throat strategically and asked the young Dazai, "Where's Ihe? Why didn't he come with you?"
Ikh had always been quite concerned about Dazai, and had even specifically mentioned that he wanted to personally attend his first play performance.
Upon hearing this question, the young Dazai's expression stiffened slightly. "...He and Fyodor went directly to the players' queue."
Having possessed Dazai's memories of the world outside the [Book], and having explored countless possible worlds within the [Book], he never imagined that Fyodor would split into two people in this world!
Especially when he saw the real [demon] Fyodor by his side, so docile and obedient, Dazai Osamu felt as if his worldview was collapsing.
"Could it be because I understand myself best that my feelings for myself grow so quickly..."
His muttering attempts to find a reasonable explanation were overheard by Oda Sakunosuke, who had just returned from buying canned crab meat.
Looking back and forth, the mirror-like scene between the two couples made Oda Sakunosuke think for a moment, then he suddenly realized, "Then, Dazai also..."
No, it won't.
"but……"
"Absolutely not."
Both Dazai Osamu spoke in unison, with absolute certainty.
