Chapter 87 There is nothing wrong with my body

Akutagawa Ryunosuke's words made Ozaki Kouyo, who was quite good at judging people, narrow her eyes slightly. She raised the corners of her mouth with interest: Interesting, Dazai, who seemed to have eight hundred extra schemes, actually accepted such a simple-minded little guy. It seems that there will be something interesting to watch in the future.

After a standard villain's psychological activity, Ozaki Kouyo's expectations for Akutagawa Ryunosuke deepened a lot, just because Dazai Osamu chose to bring him at this time, and the meaning is already obvious. Is this Dazai Osamu's first direct subordinate after he was promoted to the cadre level?

Ozaki Kouyo was not the only one present who had such a guess; almost everyone with a discerning eye thought so.

Only those guys with muscles in their heads didn't think about it at all. They looked critically at Akutagawa Ryunosuke's thin body, jealous that he could talk to two, no, three senior executives.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke has long been accustomed to the malicious gazes on him. When he and his sister were struggling to survive in the slums, the adults always looked at him with such eyes. A sickly person who no one wants, but fortunately has the supernatural power they dream of, even if it is not strong enough to manipulate cloth in the eyes of others, it is enough to make people jealous.

The aura emanating from Ryunosuke Akutagawa made Douma take back his evaluation of him as a lop-eared rabbit. Even though he looked like a harmless lop-eared rabbit, Ryunosuke Akutagawa was essentially a ferocious wild dog, ready to tear his enemies into pieces at any time.

However, the homeless wolf puppy is even more lovable!

Just when Douma was about to take action to kidnap the dog back to his own lair, the dog's owner (crossed out) and his superior Dazai Osamu appeared in time and interrupted Douma's immoral kidnapping behavior: "Akutagawa is a subordinate I like. Douma-kun can't steal someone else's love."

"Ahem...why would I do that?" Douma cleared his throat guiltily and withdrew his claws that were rubbing the lop-eared rabbit's head as if nothing had happened.

Finally rescued from Douma's clutches, Akutagawa Ryunosuke felt a sense of relief on his troubled head. The sudden appearance of Mr. Dazai seemed to be glowing in his eyes, and he was so stubborn by nature that he could no longer look down on anyone.

On the birth of a toxic fan. (bushi)

The changes in Akutagawa Ryunosuke's eyes naturally could not be hidden from the people around him. This kind of look of wholehearted trust and admiration for a person can win over anyone, except Dazai Osamu.

No, to be more precise, it was Kurosai. Douma looked at Akutagawa Ryunosuke with a light in his eyes, and lamented that the lop-eared rabbit was born at the wrong time. If he had met the more mature Takeshi Zai after growing up, the treatment would be completely different.

"Really?" Kurotoki, whose teaching method was rather cruel, smiled slightly and let the matter go as if he believed Douma's lies. Akutagawa Ryunosuke also followed Dazai closely as if he had heard nothing.

As one of the protagonists of this party, Dazai Osamu did not stay in the corner for long. He led a little tail behind him and joined another protagonist, the pianist, and walked towards the real protagonist of this party held by the port mafia, Mori Ogai.

When Mori Ogai saw the strange boy following behind Dazai Osamu, his eyes flickered and he no longer paid too much attention to him.

For Mori Ogu, the most important thing today was to announce the two new officers of the Port Mafia, and other things could be put aside for the time being. Even though he had a hunch that the boy brought back by Dazai Osamu must be an unpolished gem.

While Mori Oo and two new officers were showing off (crossing out) in front of outsiders, Ozaki Koyo and Douma, who deliberately kept a low profile and did not steal the limelight from the newcomers, stayed in a comfortable corner and served as the most important spectators.

It is impossible not to participate. If the two of them dare not attend the promotion banquet of Dazai Osamu and the pianist, then the outside world will definitely spread very unpleasant rumors. The discord among the four cadres of the Port Mafia is the most basic type.

Ozaki Kouyo sipped the red wine in her glass gracefully and chatted, "Why didn't Douma-kun bring Atsushi with him today to join in the fun?"

"It's not appropriate to bring Atsushi to this kind of occasion." Douma shook his head. He knew exactly why Ozaki Kouyo only asked Atsushi and not Hisasaku. He looked at Ozaki Kouyo with a hint of seriousness in his eyes: "Sister Kouyo knows, right?"

Although it was a question without a beginning or an end, Ozaki Kouyo already understood what Douma meant. She sighed softly, "Atsushi is very talented. It's a waste to let him wander around."

As someone who has a close relationship with Douma, Ozaki Kouyo is quite familiar with Nakajima Atsushi's [Moonlight Beast]. Because of this, she feels even more sorry that Douma has left him unused. Although Nakajima Atsushi is only 13 years old now, as long as she gives him a little training, he will become a very powerful killer.

In this world dominated by supernatural powers, age is not important. What is important is personal talent. Nakajima Atsushi is obviously a very talented child, so Ozaki Kouyo does not understand why Douma sent him to school.

To Ozaki Koyo, who also joined the port mafia at a young age, Douma's behavior was a waste of both time and talent.

Douma, whose worldview is subtly different from that of people in this world, said as a matter of course: "Children must go to school."

He doesn't allow anyone who hasn't been beaten in school! And hiring child labor is too despicable. This requires an unknown boss.

The unknown scum boss Mori Ogai: ...Why don't you just say my name?

Seeing Douma's firm attitude, Ozaki Koyome didn't waste her efforts any more. After all, this matter had little to do with her, and there was no need to quarrel with Douma over such a trivial matter. Even the regular guardian was not in a hurry, so why should she, a bystander, be in a hurry?

Douma was relieved to see Ozaki Koyo give up. To be honest, he didn't know how to explain this to Ozaki Koyo, as neither of them could convince the other.

It can only be said that it is the difference between the three-dimensional world and the two-dimensional world. After all, in the two-dimensional world, it is standard for elementary school students, junior high school students, and high school students to save the world.

Although he thought so, when Dazai Osamu took a break from his work and brought Akutagawa Ryunosuke to their corner, Douma couldn't help but say, "Aren't you going to send Akutagawa to school?"

Dazai Osamu raised his eyebrows but said nothing. He glanced at Akutagawa Ryunosuke who was following him one step behind.

Receiving Dazai's gaze, Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who had just been announced as Dazai's direct subordinate, took the initiative to stand up and say, "I don't need to... ahem... go to school."

Everyone has their own aspirations. Douma is not Dazai Osamu, so he naturally cannot change Akutagawa Ryunosuke's mind. However, there is one thing he has to mention: "Compared to going to school, your health is more important. Have you gone to the hospital for treatment?"

Douma is not a heartless person. Akutagawa Ryunosuke is doomed to die young if he doesn't go to the hospital for treatment. If saying a few more words can change that, he doesn't mind being the one who meddles in other people's business.

However, the reality is that the stubborn child is like a hedgehog with its hair standing on end. He said stubbornly, "There is nothing wrong with my body. I am able to undertake the task assigned by Mr. Dazai!"

Well, as long as he didn't die on the spot, there's nothing wrong with his body. (bushi)
