Chapter 62

After Douma settled the matter, he quietly returned to the Ganghei Building. In the empty corridor, he ran into Oda Sakunosuke, who was holding a coat in his hand and seemed to be planning to go out.

Douma glanced at the clock on the wall, which clearly showed that it was already midnight. Curious, he asked casually, "It's so late, are you going out?"

"Yeah." Oda Sakunosuke stopped and nodded to Douma who asked. He did not hide why he was going out and answered frankly: "I made an appointment with Dazai and the others to go to the bar for a drink."

He had deliberately chosen such a late time because Sakura, Keji and the others would have been fast asleep by this time.

The children had just moved into their new home, and the unfamiliar new environment easily made these young people who had just lost their family members feel uneasy. Therefore, Oda Sakunosuke tried not to leave too far when they were awake. Fortunately, his new job content allowed him to balance both.

One child watches, and a group of children also watch. (bushi)

Douma, who was just asking casually, was no longer surprised when he heard Oda Sakunosuke's answer. Although it was a little late, it was normal for adults to have a rich nightlife, not to mention that Oda Sakunosuke was just out drinking.

"Then I wish you a happy time." Douma smiled politely, and after saying his blessing as his closing words, he said no more. He just nodded at Oda Sakunosuke, then lifted his feet and continued walking inside.

His room is at the end of this corridor.

Oda Sakunosuke turned his head slightly and invited Douma, who was about to leave, "Douma-sama, would you like to have a drink with me?"

If an ordinary member of the lower class said this, it would definitely be a polite remark, but Oda Sakunosuke was different. Although his face was calm and his tone was light, Douma could hear the sincerity in the other party's short invitation. Oda Sakunosuke really wanted to invite him to drink together.

After realizing this, Douma stopped and thought, Dazai Osamu, Oda Sakunosuke and Sakaguchi Ango are having a party at Lupin Bar. Who would not want to go and check in at the famous place if they know the original story? No one would not want to!

However, the next second, Douma clearly remembered that he was no longer a human being. There was no alcohol on the cannibal's menu, so it was not appropriate for him to go. Did he have to ask the other three to drink alcohol while he pretended to drink alcohol but was actually drinking blood?

As he imagined this ridiculous and hilarious scene, Douma couldn't help but widen his smile. He completely gave up the urge to go to the Lupin bar with Oda Sakunosuke and refused, "I won't go tonight. I'll wait for another opportunity in the future."

Hearing the two key words "tonight" and "later", Oda Sakuyuki's assistant naturally understood that Douma agreed to go drinking together when he had time in the future, and he responded seriously: "Okay, then next time."

Hearing this, Douma was slightly stunned for a moment, because Oda Sakunosuke's tone and expression were too serious. Oda Sakunosuke was very serious in making an agreement with him to drink together in the future.

After coming to his senses, Douma quietly stared at Oda Sakunosuke's calm but serious eyes and a subtle emotion spread in his heart: I can only say that you are worthy of being the natural Oda Sakunosuke, you are really good at hitting the ball straight!

Although he complained in his heart, Douma actually didn't dislike the agreement he made with Oda Sakunosuke. He put away his previous polite perfunctory attitude and became serious: "Okay, then it's an agreement. We'll have a drink together when we have the chance in the future."

Oda Sakunosuke didn't seem to notice Douma's change in attitude or his repetition of words. He just nodded and said seriously, "Ah, we have an appointment."

When passing by Oda Sakunosuke, Douma was in a very good mood. Although he cannot drink alcohol now, it does not mean that he cannot drink alcohol in the future.

Regardless of whether the Japanese government will abide by today's agreement in the future, it doesn't matter if they break the agreement and don't give him the "book" after receiving it.

Anyway, in the original timeline, the "book" had already been in the hands of the Special Powers Department when Dazai Osamu was 22 years old. If the Special Powers Department chose to keep the matter secret and not give the "book" to him at that time, then he would just go and steal it.

Having power means you can do whatever you want.jpg

Even if there was no Blue Spider Lily to allow Douma to evolve into an ultimate creature without weaknesses, in this world without the Nichirin Sword, he would still be nearly invincible in the dark.

Douma: ...Well, as long as he doesn't try to kill himself with wisteria flowers, it'll be fine. It would be too ridiculous to die of poisoning due to greed. He will never repeat the same mistake!

But in this case, Oda Saku can't just die so easily, otherwise the agreement to drink together will be invalid, right? Don't you think so, Oda Tonosuke?

Douma began to seriously think about how to effectively stop Oda Tonosuke from giving swords to everyone.

Unconsciously, Douma no longer sees Oda Sakunosuke as a very useful super dad with the label of "white moonlight" on paper, but as a living person, or a friend who can barely be considered.

Oda Sakunosuke, who had already left the Minato Kuroko Building and headed towards the old place, had no idea about Douma's rich psychological activities, nor did he think there was anything wrong for him, a low-level member, to make an agreement with the cadre-level Douma to drink together in the future. His mood was as calm as ever.

Oda Sakunosuke, who had a big heart, opened the door in front of him and stepped into the familiar Lupin Bar with the sound of crisp bells. What he saw was Dazai Osamu sitting at the bar, surrounded by several sexy women, who was still at ease.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Dazai Osamu's ears moved, and the only eye that was exposed looked towards the door calmly. The iris-colored eyes, which were so dark and terrifying, seemed to be awakened by something and regained their vitality.

In the corner, the middle-aged man who was drinking alone dared only to pay attention to the situation over there with the corner of his eyes, but even so, he managed to see Dazai's reaction when he saw the person coming.

After silently keeping all of this in mind, the middle-aged man continued to drink the wine in the glass with a sad face.

The flushed cheeks and hazy eyes make this plain-looking middle-aged man look like an ordinary person going through a midlife crisis. His excellent acting skills perfectly portray the decadence of a failed person who gets drunk late at night.

Such ordinariness is totally worthy of no attention. The middle-aged man in charge of monitoring Dazai Osamu blends into the Lupin Bar inconspicuously like a drop of water. After making some progress, he withdraws his attention and no longer pays any extra attention to Dazai Osamu to prevent him from noticing something wrong.

Dazai Osamu certainly did not notice the secret attention of the middle-aged man in the corner.

After all, no matter how talented Dazai Osamu is, it still takes time to hone his skills. Under the influence of Douma's butterfly effect, Mori Ogai became wary of Dazai Osamu in advance and sent people to track and investigate his whereabouts.

The 18-year-old Dazai Osamu would not be so easily followed and monitored. However, the 16-year-old Dazai Osamu, who had just joined the Port Mafia and was still a little immature, would be deceived by professionals in this field, especially when he was in the Lupin Bar where he felt relaxed and met with friends privately.

This gave people an opportunity to take advantage of the situation, and the story ended at a perfect time, avoiding the perception of the former gold medal killer Oda Sakunosuke. Coincidence or sufficient caution allowed the middle-aged man who was sent by Mori Ogai to collect information on Dazai Osamu to successfully escape.

"My friends are here. Please don't make it difficult for me, ladies who are considerate of others." Dazai Osamu smiled and dismissed the women surrounding him, then patted the seat next to him and said, "Odasaku, come quickly. I saved a seat for you."

Oda Sakunosuke followed Dazai Osamu's instructions and sat down. He said in a matter-of-fact tone, "You are always so popular with women."

The teased Dazai Osamu did not look like a 16-year-old boy at all. Instead, he waved his hands without blushing like a seasoned veteran: "I can't help it. My natural beauty attracts the ladies. I am totally different from Oda Saku."

Oda Sakunosuke, who was not good at intimate relationships, was not grateful for the woman's favor. He pretended not to hear Dazai Osamu's teasing, waved to the bartender, waited for someone to come over, and ordered a glass of his usual whiskey.

The poured wine was quickly placed by the bartender on the bar in front of Oda Sakunosuke. When he picked it up, the spherical ice cubes made a crisp sound when they collided against the wall of the glass.

After taking a sip of the spicy wine, Oda Sakunosuke used his other hand to take out the locator from his pocket and gently placed it next to Dazai Osamu's wine glass: "Here I give it back to you."

"?" Dazai Osamu picked up the familiar locator and looked at it carefully to make sure that it was indeed modified by him. He couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Where did this come from? I haven't installed it for you recently."

The defense is also very justified.

After all, he has been very busy recently and has not tried to install a locator and a monitor on Oda Tsukuru for a long time. Dazai Osamu thought that although he has only joined the Port Mafia for more than a year, he has already made it a habit to install locators and monitors on people.

Oda Sakunosuke, who was not one to complain, just looked at Dazai Osamu beside him and explained calmly: "This is what Douma asked me to bring to you. Return it to its original owner."

"..." Dazai Osamu couldn't control the force on the hand holding the locator. His originally rosy fingertips turned pale from the force. He raised his eyes and said seriously: "Douma... asked you to give it to me?"

"Yes." Oda Sakunosuke nodded, looking as if he didn't think there was anything wrong.

A small clicking sound was heard, which was inconspicuous in the bar filled with pure music. Only Oda Sakunosuke noticed that his friend had crushed the locator in his hand: "?"

Dazai Osamu was immersed in his own thoughts and did not notice the puzzled look that Odasakunosuke cast on him for a moment. He thought: Douma asked Odasaku to send the locator, which means that their friendship has been exposed to each other. Is he using Odasaku to warn him?

The habitual conspiracy theory began. Dazai Osamu's nature as a black mud spirit made him instantly list a hundred ways that Douma might use Oda to deal with him.

Douma: ???
