The streets were lined with shops. It was almost time for the office workers to get off work, and there were many people coming and going. Munechika was standing on the street not to experience life nor to observe the world.

He left in style.

He simply forgot his true nature as Munechika, which would never change no matter what - he was an idiot.

If he left a familiar place fifty meters away, he would not be able to find the way back. Even if he was in a hurry, he would not be able to remember where he came from and where he was going after looking back.

He himself initially thought that it was simply a poor sense of direction, and asked his brother to relax about his excessive nervousness. However, after experiencing the reality of the past few years, he was finally forced to admit the fact that he had a poor sense of direction.

In short, at this moment, he was lost.

Standing in the middle of the street and being watched by people all around, Munechika was calm and composed. Well, if he made some noise, would someone come looking for him?

However, the person who came was not Nakahara Chuuya, who was supposed to rush over to take him away.

But it was Dazai Osamu, with whom the two might have had some dispute just a few hours ago.

"Oh my, Kunikida-kun, look~ there's a lost little dwarf here. As kind members of the detective agency, let's help him find his home, shall we?"

The young man in the windbreaker smiled harmlessly, but those who knew him knew that this smile was definitely not well-intentioned.

Munechika pressed the brim of his hat and said nothing.

Perhaps his reaction was misunderstood by the people around Dazai as an innocent bystander.

Kunikida Dopo stopped Dazai from behaving in a way that he considered extremely rude, and said to Munechika, "Sorry, sir, please don't take Dazai's words to heart."

He saw Munechika standing in the middle of the road and added, "If you have any problems, you can go to the detective agency to ask for help. Please believe that they are very reliable."

Isn't it too much to use height to attack people?

However, this person seems a little familiar?

"Yes, that's the gentleman who had a concert this morning?" Dazai Osamu whispered into Kunikida Doppo's ear at some point and reminded him as if he knew what he was thinking.

"Ah!" Kunikida Dopo was stunned, and after looking at Munechika twice more, he suddenly realized.

Munechika: ???

"By the way, Chuuya, you didn't know this yet? In the morning, all the screens were broadcasting the live show~"

Munechika: !!!

Seeing those blue eyes widen, Dazai Osamu was filled with joy from the bottom of his heart.

Get up.

Munechika quickly looked around, and the people who were watching him were not the people he thought knew Nakahara Chuuya?

It seems to be true that in the early days, the military police did not know what Nakahara Chuuya looked like, which means that Nakahara Chuuya rarely appeared in front of ordinary people.

It should be said that even if he shows up, no one will associate him with the identity of one of the cadres of the port mafia. Without using gravity, Nakahara Chuuya looks like an ordinary, good-looking young man.

But right now...

"Your singing voice is amazing. Although I've never heard of you, I believe you can go far! Please keep up the good work!" Seeing the shining points of his idol in Munechika, Kunikida Doppo encouraged him sincerely, admiring him from the bottom of his heart.

"Please, don't use honorifics, just call me...Nakahara." Munechika was completely embarrassed.

He was thinking about how the situation would end when Wu Ai met Nakahara Chuuya in the future.

"So it's Nakahara... I get it, Nakahara." Seeing the sincere pleading in Munechika's eyes, Kunikida Doppo marveled at the fact that an idol with so many fans was still so approachable, and stretched out his hand, "My name is Kunikida Doppo, and I'm a member of the Armed Detective Agency. If you have any difficult problems, you're welcome to come to the Detective Agency for commissions."

Different from the broad sense of the detective agency mentioned above, this time Kunikida introduced the place where he works.

"..." Munechika steadied his shaking hands and shook them naturally. He said in a slow and dry voice, as if hesitant, "Me too. Nice to meet you."

"Hahahahahahahahahaha——" Dazai Osamu, who had been holding back for a long time, finally burst into laughter. If they were not standing on the street, Munechika suspected that he would fall to the ground laughing.

“…”

"Hey, Dazai, that's so rude!"

Knowing what the other party was laughing at, Munechika felt his gravity and fists stirring.

The end result was still to cause trouble for Nakahara Chuuya, which was so uncomfortable.

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean it. I hope Nakahara won't mind?" Dazai Osamu emphasized the word "Nakahara" on purpose and wiped away the tears that came from laughing with his fingertips. He straightened up, looked down at him deliberately and said.

Kunikida Doppo only then realized that something was wrong since the meeting.

He looked at Dazai Osamu with some suspicion, and asked Munechika hesitantly, "Are you two acquaintances?"

Munechika shook his head and replied, "It was not me who knew him."

He doesn't

I would like to explain more about this matter and then change the topic to my current predicament.

After initially being embarrassed by his own stupidity, Munechika is now able to face it calmly.

"Um, Mr. Kunikida, do you know..." Munechika thought carefully about the place Dazai Osamu mentioned before, and asked uncertainly, "Where is the Port Mafia?"

Dazai Osamu swore that the expression on Kunikida Mama-san's face that he saw today would definitely be included in his top ten list of the year!

So wonderful!

"Nakahara, what are you going to do in that place?" Kunikida struggled to calm down and warned sternly, "That place is not for ordinary people, not even singers."

Sensing the other party's concern, Munechika felt guilty for deceiving an honest man, and he tried to explain, "Go find someone."

Unfortunately, he couldn't come up with a story in a short time, and he was not a good liar.

os: Of course it doesn’t count if you’re getting into character.

Seeing that he had a reason, Kunikida Doppo changed his mind and said, "Is this why you came to Yokohama? If so, I recommend you to investigate the community committee..."

Before he could finish, he was suddenly interrupted by Dazai Osamu loudly.

"As for the Port Mafia, that's over there." Dazai Osamu pointed to the tallest and most iconic high-rise building in the city with interest in his eyes. "Look, that tallest building. That's the base of the Port Mafia."

Munechika looked up, and was shocked that he had forgotten this.

It turns out that his forgetfulness is an old problem. No matter what, he should thank those who helped him.

"Thank you very much."

Ignoring Dazai Osamu's complicated expression, which looked as if a fly had been stuffed into his mouth, Munechika said goodbye to Kunikida alone, "Mr. Kunikida, thank you very much, too."

"Then I'll be leaving first."

Thanks to Dazai Osamu for stopping his detective partner, Munechika left easily.

After he left, facing the kind-hearted Kunikida-ma who wanted an explanation, Dazai Osamu folded his hands and said, "Don't worry, no one can hurt him there."

Hearing what Dazai said, Kunikida Doppo immediately changed his mind and asked, "What do you know?"

"What are you talking about? I don't know anything. It's rare for Kunikida-kun to drop his mission and help a stranger. Could it be that you have become his fan?"

"No! If it was someone else who got lost, I would help them, too."

"Yes, yes, I believe it. Oh, that lake over there looks nice!"

“?? Stop right there, Dazai!!”
