——"The possible world of if" in "Bungo Stray Dogs".

Of course, at this time, Tokiwa didn't pay any attention to what this world was called.

His focus was only on the words spoken by the silver-haired boy.

Still alive...? So that means Dazai Osamu is dead?

Unlike those people he had met before using vests, those people were calm and self-contained, and even if they rushed over like this silver-haired boy, they would never say anything extra.

So this was the first time that Tokiwa realized the answer so clearly.

Tokiwa didn't feel angry, nor did he have any other emotions of blaming the system - maybe it was Dazai Osamu's brain bonus, or maybe Tokiwa wasn't stupid.

After understanding the answer, Tokiwa naturally acknowledged the bad qualities of human beings that he possessed.

He is indeed selfish, even at this moment he would choose to hurt others for his own chance to survive.

Because the vest will affect Shi Wu himself, this emotion is most likely brought about by the vest.

If it was only Shi Wu himself who noticed this at this moment, he would only nod coldly. There is no room for regret for things that have passed and people who have been hurt.

At most, Shi Wu will just think of a way to compensate later-maybe he doesn't even have to deal with this job of compensation.

In Shi Wu's subconscious, there seems to be such a presence that will help him make up for this part of the defect, and he only needs to fight in the front. No matter what he does, his backer will always stand firmly behind him to help him deal with everything.

In the few impressions after losing his memory... that person should be a very gentle person.

Unfortunately, the person who appears here, sitting in the wheelchair, is not entirely Tokiwa.

That is Tokiwa who is affected by Dazai Osamu's self-destructive psychology. There is

still a buffer at the beginning, but the longer he stays in this world, the deeper the connection between the vest and him will be.

Because each time he used the vest, the time was extremely short, resulting in Tokiwa not knowing about this.

He didn't even notice that he was surrounded by the emotions that came with the vest. That kind of self-destructive mentality immersed in pure darkness will still stab and burn him who is shrunken in the small world of darkness, even if a ray of light representing redemption appears in front of him.

"Atsushi-kun, what happened?" A middle-aged man with a magnetic voice sounded, and it sounded very gentle, just like a kind father talking to his child.

Perhaps because he didn't get an answer, the man's footsteps slowly approached. After seeing the scene in front of him, the middle-aged man in a white coat slightly widened his eyes. He almost lost the ability to speak: "Tai, Dazai-kun?"

"Mr. Mori!" The boy called Atsushi held back his tears. He tried to use a calm attitude, but he found that he couldn't do it. In the end, all he said was Mori Ogai's name.

"Ah, this is really unexpected." Mori Ogai looked deeply at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure sitting in the wheelchair.

Although Mori Ogai had not seen Dazai Osamu for many years, he could still recognize him - the young man, the child in front of him, was not the leader Dazai who had faked his death and hid in this orphanage for four years.

The young man sitting in the wheelchair was wearing a camel-colored windbreaker, not the black color that represented the mafia, and he did not have the red scarf that represented the leader hanging around his neck.

Even his eyes, which had been covered by a bandage, were now exposed.

Those beautiful iris-colored eyes no longer revealed the dead silence that he was more familiar with. Even if it was just the last spark when the candle burned out, it was still not completely extinguished.

Shi Wu himself would be suppressed by the vest, but Shi Wu's nature could not be completely concealed.

The simplest and purest desire in Tokiwa's heart is to survive. Even if it is not for himself, even he himself will ignore this emotion.

This is completely opposite to Dazai Osamu.

Can't Nakajima Atsushi identify his leader? No, this child just doesn't want to believe it.

The white death god who is feared by the mafia is cowardly and unwilling to acknowledge a person's death.

He even found reasons for himself, and in order to verify his thoughts, he said tremblingly: "Yes, yes... Neither Akutagawa nor I found the body at that time!"

"I should have thought of it a long time ago...!"

Saying such words, the legendary terrible white death god, like a child in need of recognition, looked at Mori Ogai with eyes for help.

Mori Ogai was silent for a long while, and the corners of his mouth curled up: "Dazai-kun and I have something to talk about. Can Atsushi-kun go and prepare dinner?"

Nakajima Atsushi's eyes were full of rejection.

However, no matter how much Mori Ogai behaved like an ordinary person and an ordinary father in front of Nakajima Atsushi, he could not deny his identity as the boss of the port mafia. He could not deny that the original Dazai Osamu was taught by him.

"Atsushi-kun." Mori Ogai said nothing, but just called out Nakajima Atsushi's name so softly. But it was this calm attitude that made Nakajima Atsushi unable to refuse.

Realizing that he had scared the child, Mori Ogai softened his tone again: "Don't worry, Atsushi-kun, I will let Alice accompany you."

"By the way, please prepare four servings." Mori Ogai reminded.

"...I understand!" Nakajima Atsushi's eyes lit up in an instant. He understood what Mori Ogai meant.

Bring four servings of Alice, which means that Mr. Dazai will stay for dinner!

Shi Wu did not say a word the whole time, nor did he refuse Mori Ogai's invitation. Thanks to the brain of this vest, even without deliberately thinking about it, he easily figured out the situation here.

"He" knew the two people in front of him, and the relationship was closer than he thought.

"Thank you so much, Dazai-kun." Mori Ogai walked to Shi Wu's side with a particularly natural attitude, and took over the job of pushing the wheelchair that originally belonged to someone unknown.

He smiled gently without any temper, "If you refuse, I don't know how to comfort Atsu-kun."

"Mr. Mori is such a gentle person?" Without ignoring the almost threatening change in Mori Ogai's temperament, Shi Wu, who didn't know Mori Ogai's full name, spoke to him using the title "Atsu-kun".

"Haha, that's really overestimating me." Mori Ogai didn't try to get close to him, his tone was calm and natural, and he maintained the necessary distance.

If it was the leader Dazai that he knew, Mori Ogai might not have such a calm attitude.

Even if his essence has not changed, his life as the director of an orphanage for four years has changed a lot of things in him.

"So, Mr. Mori, are you willing to explain the current situation to me?" He easily realized that this Mr. Mori had discovered that he was not the "Dazai Osamu" he knew, and Shi Wu had no idea of ​​occupying the identity of "the dead Dazai Osamu" in this world.

In other words, he could accept being treated differently like this.

"Compared to this, I'm more curious about why Dazai-kun suddenly came here?" Mori Ogai choked back lightly.

But compared to this, "What's wrong with your legs?"

Mori Ogai dare not say how well he knows Dazai Osamu, but in this world, he can say that he is the one who knows him best besides Dazai Osamu himself.

This is indeed the case. In this world, there are not even more than two hands who can really touch Dazai Osamu.

Without the familiar friends from another world, the identity of the leader prevents Nakahara Chuuya from really "punching and kicking" him. Without this equal way of "communication", the distance between them will only get farther and farther.

Just like Nakahara Chuuya still doesn't know that Mori Ogai is still alive.

In addition to the few men who can see Dazai Osamu, the one who has communicated with Dazai Osamu enough has to bring Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who is an "enemy".

It's so sad.

Just like Fukuzawa Yukichi could recognize Edogawa Ranpo no matter what, Mori Gugai could also recognize the fact that the young man in front of him was indeed Dazai Osamu.

It was because of this realization that Nakajima Atsushi ignored the obvious difference.

Otherwise, the poor disguise would only make the white death extend its sharp claws in indifference and disgust.

"Isn't Mr. Mori a doctor?" Shi Wu saw this and said with a smile: "Do you want to check it yourself?"

Mori Gugai stopped. It was not known whether it was a coincidence or something else, but the place where they stopped was exactly the infirmary of the orphanage.

"If you don't mind." Mori Gugai, who is a doctor, continued this sentence.
