Chapter 422 Return to Yokohama The player returned to Yokohama. ...
The players returned to Yokohama.
The player saw Player 2 working hard.
The player was tackled by player two.
"Original! You finally came back—" Number Two immediately threw those annoying documents behind his head and cried, "Damn it, why did you leave me, a clone, here?"
"Those who are capable should work harder, that's right~" the player said perfunctorily, nudging Number Two's head. "Besides, you are me and I am you, there's not much difference."
There's a huge difference! Number Two doesn't want to review documents at all!
Number Two looked at the original with resentment and let go indignantly.
"Alright! Stop complaining. I'm here for something important." The player rubbed his chin and asked, "Do you know where Dazai is right now? I need to see him, but I just looked around and couldn't find him."
"Dazai..." Number Two skillfully checked the family members' attendance today. Spotting Dazai Osamu's name on the list of absentees, he said matter-of-factly, "Dazai still didn't show up for work today."
"Let me see. Those who arrived on time are Chuuya, Ogai, Momiji..., and those who were late are Dazai, Rimbaud, Verlaine, Odasaku... Why am I not surprised at all?" The player looked at these eye-catching names dimly, and after casually flipping through the previous records, he found that, as expected, the names of Dazai and Rimbaud had the highest repetition rate.
"Oh, original body, this is all the result of your own indulgence." Number Two shrugged and smiled with schadenfreude.
"It's okay. At least I can go out and look for Dazai now, and you..." The player gave a thumbs-up, "You still have to stay here and review documents!"
"What? Your real self? Take me out to see the scenery once in a while!" The wailing voice of Number Two, who didn't want to stay at the headquarters because of heavy official duties, gradually became distant, but still clear to the ear. "Don't do this to me—"
***
Although it is a search for Dazai, this task that seems quite difficult to Dazai's subordinates is actually a very simple thing for the players.
"If there were no quest, would Dazai be in some corner of the Tsurumi River or in some izakaya now?" The player thought for a moment, took out the photo detector, and put Dazai's photo in it.
Thinking is still too troublesome, and players are still suitable for a more convenient way.
At worst, Dazai could find the player's traces by walking around here a few times, and then he would appear from nowhere.
The player thought for a moment and decisively moved in one direction.
…
…
On the other side, Dazai Osamu, who was being looked for all over the floor by the players, sneezed and subconsciously rubbed the tip of his nose.
"What's wrong with you, Dazai?" Oda Sakunosuke looked in Dazai's direction with a puzzled look, concern in his eyes. "Did you catch a cold? Going in the water too often is not good for your health."
Well, crabs are cold foods. For Dazai's health, let's cancel tonight's midnight snack of steamed crabs and pickled crabs for a while.
"I'm fine, Odasaku." Dazai Osamu, who didn't feel the loss of any benefits at all, put down his hand and lazily lay on the bar, saying casually, "Maybe someone is talking about me."
"I see." Oda Sakunosuke nodded in sudden realization and offered his own opinion, "Maybe Chiyo is thinking about you."
"...Hey, Odasaku, what you said is so corny!" Dazai Osamu sat up suddenly, then lay down again, turning his head to the side and muttering softly, "Besides, Chiyo-chan might have been having a great time outside."
"Dazai, are you missing Chiyo?" Oda Sakunosuke moved his ears and said something that made Dazai crazy, "But Chiyo didn't block our communication channels. You can definitely send her a message, Dazai."
“…” Dazai Osamu didn’t say anything, but just looked at the transparent glass wine glass next to him and casually tapped the round ice cube inside.
Oda Sakunosuke also did not speak, but just sipped his wine intermittently, writing something in his notebook from time to time, quietly waiting for what he was to say next.
"...Odasaku, what Chiyo-chan is doing now is definitely not simple."
Dazai Osamu ignited the flame of death and constructed a barrier around the two of them, shielding them from the surroundings. "I've been investigating these past few days and discovered that many people have been heading towards Namimori recently, including the Vongola family's assassination squad, representatives of the Kirionero family, representatives of the Jesso family... and even the Rainbow Children."
"They are actually some of the most powerful forces in the other world..." Oda Sakunosuke stopped writing, somewhat surprised.
"That's right." Dazai nodded. "After Chiyo-chan finished talking with Yuni, he hurriedly went to Namimori with them. It can be said that Namimori now gathers most of the top combat forces in the other world."
"While I don't know the specific circumstances, according to the information I received from Namimori's subordinates, several large-scale battles broke out in Namimori within just three or four days."
"The personnel are fixed, but the combatants are not always the same..." Dazai Osamu analyzed calmly, "It seems like a big melee with each side fighting for its own."
"As expected of Dazai, you're truly brilliant!" Upon hearing this, the player stepped forward, smiling under two pairs of burning gazes, and said, "Putting aside all the circumstances, the process was just as you described: a free-for-all, with everyone fighting for their own interests!"
"Long time no see, Chiyo." Oda Sakunosuke nodded, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.
"Odasaku, I'm happy to see you too!" the player cheered and tried to pull the notebook from the red-haired man's hand. When he failed, he didn't get discouraged. Instead, he found a stool to sit down, took out a glass of juice, and started to happily chat.
"Chi...Chiyo-chan? When did you come here?" Dazai Osamu looked at him in disbelief, his eyes widening for a rare moment upon noticing his friend's calmness. "And...Odasaku, did you know about this a long time ago?"
The player smiled brightly, "Of course, you showed up when you said I was enjoying myself outside."
Oda Sakunosuke sat aside and added: "In fact, Chiyo came here a long time ago, Dazai."
Osamu Dazai: "..."
This news sounds extremely bad!
Dazai Osamu, who was being teased by both his leader and his friend, didn't want to speak. He just hugged his head with his hands, covering his entire face tightly so that no one could see his expression.
Oda Sakunosuke reached for his notebook and calmly wrote a few lines on it.
"Dazai, Dazai? Dazai!" The player poked the autistic caterpillar and patted the black-haired boy's shoulder guiltily. "Ahem, ahem, actually... I didn't mean to hear that. It's because the barrier you set up, Dazai, has no effect on me."
After all, Dazai was using illusion—
"Besides, why are you so shy? I missed you so much!" The player chuckled and said happily, "I'll come find you as soon as I get back!"
Dazai Osamu: "...So, Chiyo-chan, is there something you want to talk about when you come here this time?"
Player: "I came to ask Dazai for a postcard!"
[Item Card - Return Postcards for the Dead: Use return postcards to write to the deceased and receive a reply the next day. One card contains 1,000 postcards.]
When the player had obtained two prop cards of 'Reciprocating Postcards to the Dead', he gave them all to Dazai after returning from the other world. He only kept a few for himself as backup, but he used them up one by one in the following time, so that he didn't have any left now.
Dazai Osamu: “Postcard?”
Could it be the postcard that can communicate with the dead? Why did she suddenly want it?
Player: "Hmmmm!"
Dazai Osamu narrowed his eyes, produced a stack of postcards from his hand and handed them over: "Here you go, Chiyo-chan, I just happen to have some on me~"
The player's eyes lit up: "That's great!"
The player who got the pink postcard turned around and tried to leave, but was quickly grabbed by the collar by the quick-witted Dazai Osamu: "Wait a minute, Chiyo-chan, is there... something else you haven't explained clearly?"
Player: "Oh...oh, if I really want to explain it clearly, this is a long story."
Dazai Osamu: "If you don't explain clearly, I can't let you leave so easily, Chiyo-chan~"
…
…
"...Okay, okay." After a moment of stalemate, the player took a deep breath, then immediately squatted down, twisted Dazai Osamu's hand away, and ran in the opposite direction. "But I have limited time now, I have to hurry!"
"I'll tell you next time I have a chance!"
Osamu Dazai: "..."
She would rather run away than tell him. It seems... there really is a deep secret behind this.
The black-haired, kite-eyed boy let out a meaningless laugh and quickly grabbed Odasakunosuke's arm and chased after him, "Odasaku, let's catch up!"
Oda Sakunosuke, who was being dragged away, said: “……?”
——————————
The player directly opened the space and took the shortcut back to the leader's office. He tidied up the messy table and immediately began to write a letter to the guy named Romeo who had come to the world through a special way.
However……
"No way, why is there no reaction at all?" The player looked at the unresponsive postcard in distress. "Did I make a mistake somewhere?"
The player clicked on the unresponsive postcard, pondered for a moment, and then called Sawada Tsunayoshi.
The call was connected almost the next second.
Sawada Tsunayoshi: "Who? Huh...it's Aurora. Why are you calling me so late at night?"
The player raised an eyebrow. "Hey, Tsunayoshi-kun, you're still alright even at this late hour? It seems... you have a lot on your mind, too."
Player: "You should still be in your house, right?"
Sawada Tsunayoshi: "...well, that's of course."
"Okay, I want you to ask me something." Before Sawada Tsunayoshi could continue, the player said with a smile, "I want you to ask Bi Yangqi what the full name of her ex-boyfriend is."
"...Aurora, if I ask Bi Yangqi's ex-boyfriend's name now, she'll really tear me apart!" Even through the communication tool, Sawada Tsunayoshi's voice of collapse was still deafening, "Are you really not kidding me?"
"I need to use the postcard to communicate with the dead to find Romeo's soul and ask him something," the player said. "But I can't get through with just 'Romeo'."
"But Biyangqi only said these three words at the beginning." Sawada Tsunayoshi thought for a moment and said seriously, "Maybe...how about you try writing it differently? That Romeo is Italian, so maybe he needs to write in Italian too."
The player said meaningfully, "Oh, so you're not at home after all."
Sawada Tsunayoshi: "Ha...haha, Aurora, what are you talking about? Of course I'm at home!"
Sawada Tsunayoshi: "I'm going to sleep now, so I'll hang up first! Goodbye Aurora!"
"This guy's ability to lie is completely inversely proportional to his strength... He must have his own little secret." The player looked at the call that had been hung up and shook his head. "No matter what, what I'm doing here is more important."
"Anyway, let's try it as he said."
