Chapter 86

If there is only one person in this world who can make Chuuya Nakahara want to beat someone up just by hearing his voice, that person must be Dazai Osamu without a doubt.

"Hey~" Dazai Osamu pretended to be confused and put his head close to Nakahara Chuuya's ear and grinned: "Did Chuuya come down to say hello to me, a new officer?"

Without turning around, Nakahara Chuuya reached back and covered Dazai Osamu's mischievous face with his five fingers in black gloves. He pushed him away from his shoulder with disgust, and explained in a stammering voice with a stiff mouth, "You were too close."

Nakahara Chuuya tried hard to restrain the desire to turn around and fight back. With his back to the annoying Dazai Osamu, he kept reminding himself in his heart: No, Dazai's bluefish has been promoted to an officer, I can't...

"Eh - is that so? Speaking of which..." Dazai Osamu drew out his tone, the smirk on his lips getting bigger and bigger, and he criticized: "Chuuya neither greeted the officers, nor used honorifics to address me as an officer, tsk tsk..."

The incessant nitpicking pushed Chuuya Nakahara's patience to its limit. Even though Chuuya Nakahara had become much more mature and calm after his experience in the port mafia over the past two years, he was still unexpectedly impatient when facing his nemesis partner.

"Dazai!" Nakahara Chuuya clenched his hands in black leather gloves into fists, then, unable to bear it any longer, he turned around and elbowed the complacent Dazai Osamu behind him, but as expected, Dazai Osamu dodged it.

The two of them were fighting as usual, oblivious to the people around them. It was estimated that their combined age could not even reach ten years old. They were so childish that one would not be able to tell that these two guys were the world-famous 'Double Black'.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who was standing nearby, was stunned. He looked at the waiters on both sides who were as quiet as chickens and pretending nothing had happened, and hesitated whether to follow Mr. Dazai to beat the guy up.

At the same time, the late Douma held his big black umbrella and looked at the crowd of people in black suits in front of him and asked curiously, "Why are they all stuck here?"

"Ah, it's Lord Douma!" I don't know who shouted this, but the next second the crowd dispersed, and like Moses parting the sea, a smooth path appeared in front of Douma.

Douma, who was being treated specially, nodded at them as if it was nothing strange. Then, he ignored the excited gasps and screams of his believers (crossed out) and walked towards the cruise ship with his long legs.

After walking a few steps, Douma saw the culprit for the traffic jam: the two black guys who could fight each other at any time.

Unlike the others who didn't dare to step forward to disturb and could only be blocked by Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuuya, Douma was not used to their habit. He deliberately clapped his hands and said, "You fight well, but can you please give way first and continue fighting after I pass by."

Although to other people, Douma's and Dazai's voices sound exactly the same, Nakahara Chuuya was able to tell the difference between the two at the first sight, so Douma's words were not mistaken by Nakahara Chuuya as Dazai's doing.

Seeing Douma's words, Nakahara Chuuya, who was more respectful to his seniors, stopped chasing after Dazai Osamu. He jumped back and snorted softly as a warning: "I'll let you go this time, but if next time..."

Before Nakahara Chuuya could finish, Dazai Osamu interrupted him with a grin: "Douma-kun, you heard what Chuuya said to me, the port mafia is very strict, and a mere officer candidate spoke to the officers like this..."

Just like when Dazai interrupted Nakahara Chuuya, Douma followed suit and interrupted Dazai: "Sorry, it was too windy just now, I didn't hear you."

Since he was asked to choose a side, he would definitely choose the last conscience of the Port Mafia, the little angel Chuuya. Would he be so stupid as to choose the dark goo of the human world, Dazai Osamu? That's not enough.

"Ah, Chuuya is still more popular after all." Dazai Osamu sighed, walked to Akutagawa Ryunosuke's side, pointed at the thin boy and asked: "I just picked this up from outside, how do you think it is?"

Although he had lived in a slum since he was a child, Akutagawa Ryunosuke was not a coward. When he saw Mr. Dazai introducing himself to others, he took the initiative to add: "I am... ahem... Akutagawa Ryunosuke."

The sea breeze on the deck was very strong, which was nothing for people with strong bodies, but not for Akutagawa Ryunosuke who was in poor health. As soon as he opened his mouth, the cold sea breeze rushed into his throat, causing severe discomfort, and his cough naturally could not be relieved.

There is no need to explain it, Akutagawa Ryunosuke's weakness is also exposed and cannot be concealed at all.

Even if Nakahara Chuuya was not used to Dazai Osamu, he would not be angry at the boy brought back by Dazai Osamu. He frowned tightly and glared at Dazai Osamu who brought the boy back but was not responsible: "The wind here is too strong for this child, why don't you bring him into the cabin quickly."

"Hahaha... Chuuya actually said he was a child, a child as tall as you?" Dazai Osamu's ability to grasp the key points was as outstanding as ever. He laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back. He finally stopped and looked up to see Nakahara Chuuya dressed in black, and burst into laughter again: "Hahaha... a pitch-black dwarf."

Dazai Osamu danced wildly at Nakahara Chuuya's sensitive spot, causing Nakahara Chuuya, who was worried about the newcomer, to instantly forget about this matter. The veins on his forehead indicated that he was about to explode.

Douma shook his head at the scene, then turned to the lop-eared rabbit Akutagawa Ryunosuke who was at a loss again. Perhaps because he had become a parent, Douma took better care of the children. He took the initiative to greet them, "Come in first, they will probably have to wait for a while."

"No, I... ahem... I have to wait for Mr. Dazai." Akutagawa Ryunosuke refused decisively, and his stubborn and firm eyes showed that he had made up his mind.

"Haha... kids shouldn't interfere in adult matters. Let's go." Douma sneered and picked up the lop-eared rabbit Fate by the scruff of its neck without giving him a chance to refuse. With a height of nearly 1.9 meters, it was not easy for him to pick up a skinny and stunted boy.

"I... cough cough... no..." Akutagawa Ryunosuke's voice was once again blocked by the sea breeze. The violent coughing prevented him from successfully expressing his opinion, and his weak body was completely unable to resist the rude man who was holding him by the back of the collar.

After the struggle failed, a hint of cruelty flashed in Akutagawa Ryunosuke's eyes, and the naturally drooping black windbreaker was silently dyed a bright red, which was a manifestation of the activation of the supernatural power [Rashomon].

Before Akutagawa Ryunosuke used [Rashomon] to attack Douma, Douma, who had already predicted this, pinched the back of Akutagawa Ryunosuke's neck and laughed softly without any threat: "Little kids should behave, otherwise you will be punished by adults."

The voice of the man above him was so gentle and so similar to Dazai-sama, but Ryunosuke Akutagawa couldn't help but tremble. The slight increase in force on his neck gave him the illusion that the other party would break his neck at any time.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke: No... that's not an illusion, this scary man, if he dares to disobey him, the other party will break his neck without any hesitation!

Ryunosuke Akutagawa, who has lived in the slums since childhood, is different from children living under the protection of their parents. The degenerated human perception of danger has been revived because of his wild growth. Like a small animal, he has the most primitive fear of predators at the top of the food chain.

Douma stared at Akutagawa Ryunosuke's head suspiciously for a while, and confirmed that the stubborn lop-eared rabbit had indeed calmed down. He couldn't help feeling a little suspicious. He had thought that Akutagawa Ryunosuke would definitely continue to resist, and he was ready to use force to suppress him.

I never thought that when Akutagawa Ryunosuke first joined the Port Mafia, he was actually an obedient boy? Lop-eared rabbit?

Although he felt a little bit unbelievable in his heart, Douma did not miss this opportunity. While Akutagawa Ryunosuke did not resist violently, he took the boy in his hand and walked into the exquisitely decorated and luxurious cabin under the guidance of the waiter.

Only after they entered the warm and comfortable room did Douma put Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who had been unusually quiet since a while ago, down to the ground.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who was in fear, was abruptly put down. His weak legs almost made him fall to the ground. Fortunately, Douma, who was standing next to him, was quick to support him, so that Akutagawa Ryunosuke did not have to bear the dark history of his life at such a young age.

No, wait. After being dragged along by Douma, it seems that Akutagawa Ryunosuke has already made a dark history? Oh, it's okay then.

However, at this moment, Akutagawa Ryunosuke had no energy to pay attention to black history or not. It took all his strength just to restrain the instinctive trembling of his body, so how could he have any spare energy to pay attention to other unimportant things.

"What's wrong with this kid?" A sudden female voice rang in his ears, and Akutagawa Ryunosuke felt that this pleasant voice was unclear as if there was a layer of glass between him and himself.

Ozaki Kouyo curiously observed the strange boy whose black hair gradually turned white at the ends, and asked again: "Is this the child you adopted again?"

In fact, Akutagawa Ryunosuke's current height is not much different from Nakahara Chuuya, but his overly thin figure makes him look much smaller than Nakahara Chuuya. If Nakahara Chuuya gives people the feeling of an adult who is about to reach adulthood, Akutagawa Ryunosuke does not have this feeling at all and is a teenager from head to toe.

"I didn't adopt it." Douma shook his head, and his hands, which had been itching to move, finally couldn't be controlled. He tentatively touched the lop-eared rabbit's head. After finding that there was no resistance, he rubbed it confidently, and did not forget to explain: "This child was adopted by Dazai."

Who can resist a cute lop-eared rabbit? No one!

"Adopted by Dazai?" Ozaki Koyo covered her slightly open red lips in surprise and looked Akutagawa Ryunosuke up and down, wanting to see what kind of well-behaved and special child could make someone like Dazai Osamu willing to adopt him.

When Akutagawa Ryunosuke heard the word "adopt", his blood rushed to his head, and at the same time, his fear of Douma was washed away. He explained firmly: "It's not adoption. I'm not a child anymore. Lord Dazai brought me back to be his subordinate."
