When hearing what Nakahara Chuuya said, Dazai Osamu was stunned for a moment, and then quickly returned to his cold look.
"So that's how it is." Dazai realized something. He looked up at Nakahara Chuuya, who didn't show the slightest bit of shock on his face, and said calmly, "I understand."
After Dazai Osamu said "I understand", he did not say anything else, but quietly looked at Kiyohara Jun who was negotiating with Taneda Santoka on the screen, and watched for a while.
Dazai Osamu knew that he was a coward who would become more fearful the more precious things he got and the more he liked his life to be.
Now, not only does he have friends like Jun-kun, but he can also sneak out from time to time to drink with Oda Saku, who has quit the Port Mafia and officially become a writer. He can even say a few words to Chuuya, the stupid slug.
Compared to people in other worlds, he is already much luckier.
But it was precisely this excessive luck that often made Dazai Osamu wonder if this was the calm before the storm, making him unlike himself. From time to time, he would feel a sense of panic that everything before his eyes was false.
Will the only miracle among the eight trillion parallel worlds really happen to him?
Dazai Osamu took a deep breath, and after Nakahara Chuuya said, "I know the book is with you," Dazai Osamu realized something.
Soon, Dazai Osamu returned to his usual nonchalant state.
"Chuya~" Dazai Osamu said with a smile. Although he didn't seem to have any bulges on his body, he took out a bandage from somewhere and said to Nakahara Chuya, "The bandage just fell apart~ But Su, Su, I didn't expect that I still had a new bandage~"
Listening to Dazai Osamu's coquettish voice, Nakahara Chuuya also returned to his normal state. After vomiting twice, he raised his middle finger to Dazai Osamu without hesitation.
"Get as far away from me as you can."
Right after Nakahara Chuuya finished saying that, both of them stopped moving at the same time.
All they heard was Kiyohara Jun saying, "Well, thank you, Mr. Taneda," and the negotiation on the screen had ended smoothly without them noticing.
Kiyohara Jun stood up and stretched out his right hand to Taneda Santouki, who looked a little unhappy. Even on his usually expressionless paralyzed face, there was a hint of joy.
Having paid the price of the information he least wanted to pay, Taneda Santouko adjusted his expression and smiled gently at Kiyohara Jun: "No need, Kiyohara-kun is indeed a young talent. I should thank Kiyohara-kun for taking care of my useless subordinates."
Then Taneda Santouki reached out and held Kiyohara Jun's hand.
The two briefly shook hands, and just as Taneda Santouko was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something and smiled at Kiyohara Jun, "I wonder, the five members of the Hounds...?"
"The five members of the Hounds weren't a big deal." Kiyohara Jun noticed that when Taneda Santouki asked about the five members of the Hounds, Fukuzawa Yukichi, who had been sitting aside obediently and seemed to be completely unconcerned about the exchange of interests between Kiyohara Jun and Taneda Santouki, moved slightly.
It seems that the Armed Detective Agency did not come to help the Special Powers Division this time, but for the hunting dogs?
Qingyuan Jun was lost in thought for a moment, then he continued, somewhat casually saying, "Although the captain, Mr. Fukuchi, has lost a finger, the others are all intact."
After hearing that Fukuchi Sakurachi was missing a finger, both Taneda Santoka and Fukuzawa Yukichi's faces changed drastically.
Fukuzawa Yukichi's face turned a little ugly. As a swordsman himself, Fukuzawa Yukichi knew very well that losing a finger would have a huge impact on a swordsman.
However, Fukuzawa Yukichi also knew that it was Hound who took the first step, and Hound also planted an undercover agent within the port mafia.
The Port Mafia's move against Fukuchi Sakurachi is not unacceptable, considering that Fukuchi Sakurachi is a good friend of Fukuzawa Yukichi.
Fukuzawa Yukichi clenched his hands slightly, and he thought of Mori Ougai, whose life or death was unknown.
Although he and Mori Ougai had already parted ways, there was still some camaraderie between them before they became official enemies again.
But... Fukuzawa Yukichi thought of what Natsume Soseki said to him some time ago.
"Yukichi, maybe I have found the person who can realize my ideal." On a summer afternoon, Natsume Soseki suddenly appeared in Fukuzawa Yukichi's garden with a faint smile on his face. "I see the results of our past few years, and I think what the child said may be right."
"The person who can realize Mr. Natsume's dream?" Fukuzawa Yukichi was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became more serious. "Mr. Natsume, please allow me to ask about the identity of that person."
"The current leader of the Port Mafia, Kiyohara Jun." Natsume Soseki casually threw out the name of a teenage boy. He whispered, "Yukichi, I once told you the drawbacks of the Three-moment Concept."
"Yes." Fukuzawa Yukichi nodded, his face full of seriousness, "But in Yokohama, this is the only way we can do it."
"Now, I have found the right person." Natsume Soseki's voice was full of smiles. "As long as Yokohama can be peaceful and its people can go out to the streets late at night, it doesn't matter if Yokohama is handed over to the hands of a mafia."
"Yukichi, I want to give you something."
"Take Ranpo with you, watch over him, and protect him, just like you did with Gugai." Natsume Soseki's voice at the time is still resonant today. "The Port Mafia will only defend the decisions of their leader, but the Armed Detective Agency is different. If Jun makes a decision that is not conducive to Yokohama, then you will correct him."
"Even if you can't see it, Luan Bu will see it. It's not time for you to retire yet. Even if the Three Moments concept fails, the Armed Detective Agency is not time to retire."
"The Port Mafia will not protect the masses, they will only guard the masses, but the Armed Detective Society will protect the masses. The Port Mafia will not deny the improper decisions of their leaders, they will only support their leaders, but the Armed Detective Society will correct their leaders."
"After the Port Mafia unified Yokohama, the Armed Detective Agency was the last line of defense to keep that huge monster from going astray. It was the comfort that could stop the people of Yokohama who were ruled by the Mafia from panicking. Not everyone could accept the Mafia's rule."
"Go meet Chun, observe him, he is more than just a cold-blooded mafia boss."
[WTF TF TF]
【This time I remember killing you】
[I was wondering why Fukuzawa Yukichi suddenly showed up with Ranpo. It turns out it wasn't just to protect that official.]
[Teacher Natsume, he is indeed Teacher Natsume. Really, I feel that I can truly call him Teacher.]
[I said so. The Armed Detective Agency is so big in the two neighboring lines. It was a very strong detective agency even when the leader of the Beast line unified Kanto. It can't just lose its presence just because of the existence of Jun in this line.]
[I don’t know what to say for a moment, Natsume-sensei is the best script team (×)]
[Natsume Soseki really loves Yokohama]
【Teacher Natsume is awesome!!!】
Coming back to his senses from his memories, Fukuzawa Yukichi calmed down. He loosened his clenched hands and looked up at the expressionless Kiyohara Jun.
However, Fukuzawa Yukichi frowned slightly, and his expression became more and more serious. From what Kiyora Jun had done until now, Fukuzawa Yukichi only saw a mafia member who was almost as ruthless as Mori Ogai.
Although Fukuzawa Yukichi had some grudges against Kiyohara Jun because of Fukuchi Sakura's infatuation, he was not the kind of person who would put personal feelings into it. In the two negotiations that he had been silently watching, Fukuzawa Yukichi could not see the slightest warmth in Kiyohara Jun.
Jun Kiyohara is like a machine that never makes mistakes. He ruthlessly determines the gains and losses of the Port Mafia and then makes the most favorable option for the Port Mafia.
Fukuzawa Yukichi didn't even understand why Kiyohara Jun would usurp the throne. After all, from what he had just observed, Kiyohara Jun was more like a machine without emotions. And could a machine without emotions really have ambitions?
Just when Fukuzawa Yukichi was feeling a little complicated about Kiyohara Jun, Taneda Santoka had already left here under the leadership of Oguto Takuto and went to the meeting room next door where the documents that had been prepared in advance and signed with Kiyohara Jun's name were stored.
"Mr. Fukuzawa, I have long heard of your name." Kiyohara Jun looked at Fukuzawa Yukichi and Edogawa Ranpo, who had not left even after Ariyama Musashi and Taneda Santoka left. Kiyohara Jun, who had already known their purpose from the bullet screen, said directly, "Mr. Natsume asked you to come, right?"
After being pointed out by Kiyohara Jun, Fukuzawa Yukichi was stunned for a moment, but when he remembered that Natsume Soseki had once praised Kiyohara Jun's intelligence, he nodded directly.
"Yes." Fukuzawa Yukichi nodded slightly. He looked at the young man who seemed to have no emotions in his eyes. He opened his mouth slightly as if wanting to say something, but finally gave up.
"Okay, okay, I really don't understand you guys." At this point, Edogawa Ranpo, who was almost getting impatient, spoke directly. He stood up from the sofa and said directly, "Can't we talk about it after dinner? Besides, maybe after dinner, the problem you want to ask the president will be solved."
After hearing what Edogawa Ranpo said, Fukuzawa Yukichi, who obviously trusted Edogawa Ranpo very much, made a decision.
"Okay." Fukuzawa Yukichi nodded slightly, and said to Kiyohara Jun, "I came here this time for other purposes. Please allow me to bother you for a while."
Kiyohara Jun nodded slightly, without saying anything more, and stood up and left the reception room with Fukuzawa Yukichi.
