Chapter 233 The Third Player

Saikai Haruto began to understand what the system meant when it told him that the "Dazai Osamu" in this world was in a different state from the "Dazai Osamu" in the BEAST line world.

It is very different indeed, he thought.

The test, which was so simple that it could not be considered a test, allowed him to quickly and boldly come to a conclusion - the boy in front of him was, in essence, still a fifteen-year-old boy, Dazai Osamu.

Rather than the "fully evolved" "Fighting Tyrannosaurus Dazai Osamu" who has truly experienced everything in the original plot... Ugh, what "Fighting Tyrannosaurus", was he infected with the virus because he stayed with Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru and others for too long?

In short, although he didn't know how the Dazai Osamu in front of him picked up the "book" and what he "saw", Nishimi Haruto thought that this "Dazai Osamu" was indeed different from the "Dazai Osamu" he originally thought, who had experienced all the past and had all the memories.

To appear more youthful and immature, with more obvious emotional changes, and also... closer to the original, real 15-year-old Dazai Osamu.

Moreover, although the test just now might be a little risky, fortunately, he probably has some clues - about what image the "Mochizuki Kaoru" is in front of Dazai Osamu, or in other words, about the extent of the relationship between "Mochizuki Kaoru" and Dazai Osamu.

This was obviously good news for Xi Haiqing Dou, and even his mood improved a lot.

——So, just like that, Dazai Osamu and "Mochizuki Kaoru" moved into this "temporary residence" together.

The peaceful "living together" began like this... probably.

Maybe not peaceful.

Xihai Qingdou thought.

...It's definitely not peaceful.

Xihai Qingdou thought again.

Of course, all this is because of Dazai Osamu.

Saikai Haruto dismissed the idea that "Mochizuki Kaoru and Dazai Osamu have a good relationship" overnight. He also dismissed the idea that "Dazai Osamu is not that difficult to deal with".

——Dazai Osamu is definitely, definitely a difficult guy to deal with.

In every sense.

As the "Kaito" closest to the leader of the Port Mafia... the former leader, when the former leader Mori Ougai died, no matter what the cause of his death was, Dazai Osamu will become an important focus for other members of the Port Mafia.

Whether they want to avenge Mori Ougai or compete for the position of the next leader... In short, if they want to achieve any of their goals, they must first find where Dazai Osamu is.

Therefore, based on safety considerations, Saikai Haruto did not intend to let Dazai Osamu go out alone during this period.

——So, naturally, this became one of the triggers for Dazai Osamu's "troublemaking".

Complain while he's out.

"It's really boring to stay here alone... It's too empty here, right? Will ghosts appear? I heard that ghosts will occupy a place that has been uninhabited for a long time. Then there must be a lot of ghosts in a place like Mr. Mochizuki's? Will they take me to hell?"

"You really can't take me out? Teacher Mochizuki, are you planning to abandon me here alone? Does this count as a 'crime of abandonment'?"

"Has Mr. Mochizuki come back? Sorry, I didn't hear you... I was so focused on trying to commit suicide by trying to find out if I would die of loneliness that I didn't notice anything else. If Mr. Mochizuki had come back a little later, maybe my experiment would have been successful. What a pity."

Complaining during meals.

"Wait a minute, I'm an injured patient. Are you really going to let me, a patient, cook? Is this considered deliberate exploitation of child labor? In fact, Mr. Mochizuki, you are not a novelist but a black-hearted capitalist, right?"

"No, I think there is nothing wrong with the food I cooked - Teacher Mochizuki, are you really not going to give it a try? No, wait - give me another chance to try - I will definitely be able to do it next time -"

Complains when he finds time to write a novel.

"Letters from readers - there are so many letters from readers, Mochizuki, do you really open and read every one of them before replying? Do you receive letters that are deliberately written to insult people? Will you write back to insult them, Mochizuki?"

"Will I receive a razor blade? I'm sure I will. Ah, I'm looking forward to it. Can you give it to me, Mr. Mochizuki? If I use it to commit suicide, it will be very effective, right?"

"Mr. Mochizuki - I want to protest - the suicide method you wrote in this book is not simple at all, and it clearly says that there is no pain at all, but I just tried it, and I must have died in pain, right? You are deceiving your readers, right? This behavior is really too despicable!"

In short.

He can complain about almost anything Saikai Haruto does.

Xi Hai Qing Dou: "..."

Although he really wanted to throw this guy out, due to the character of "Mochizuki Kaoru", Saikai Haruto had to choose to listen to Dazai Osamu's complaints with a blank face.

…At this moment, he deeply hated that “Mochizuki Kaoru” was not deaf, Xi Haiqingdou thought.

Of course, I listened to it, but it is impossible to follow it and it is impossible to change it... In short, it is impossible.

"If you want to go out, of course you can. Dazai-kun, do you want to go out now and leave with the Port Mafia? Then please stay away from my house before you leave."

"If there really are ghosts, don't worry, they will be scared away by Dazai-kun before they take him to hell."

"Dazai-kun should not be unable to move in such a state. Do you intend to live in my house for free? Sorry, I don't like to keep useless people in my house."

"I'm so sorry to disappoint you, Dazai-kun. There are neither curse letters nor razor blades in my readers' replies. All letters will be reviewed by the publisher and editor first. So the ones you want to see will not be there."

"Ah, you've discovered that everything in my novel is fake, and there's no way to commit suicide that's easy, convenient, and painless - so Dazai-kun, are you still going to try?"

Said all the above words to Dazai Osamu indifferently. Although Saikai Haruto appeared to be calm on the surface, he actually felt refreshed in his heart.

——In short, no one can let him suffer any loss——not even Dazai Osamu.

The sound of opening the door suddenly sounded, Xihai Haruto raised his head, stubbed out the cigarette with the mist still rising from his fingertips, and raised his eyebrows at Dazai Osamu who opened the door and rushed into the study: "Dazai-kun, is there anything else? "

"Dazai? Something? Let me finish writing this first, it will only take five minutes - Okay, have you been waiting for too long? What's the matter?"

The scene in front of him suddenly overlapped with a scene in the "book". Except for the attitude and tone of the person in front of him, everything seemed exactly the same. Even the action of putting out the cigarette was the same. Dazai Osamu was in a trance for a moment.

But he quickly put that trance behind him.

"Have I disturbed your writing, Mr. Mochizuki?" Dazai Osamu asked innocently.

"It's not a bother." Saikai Haruto responded coldly, and asked again: "So what does Dazai-kun want to talk to me about?"

"The bandage is gone," Dazai said. "It seems I can't find it anywhere."

"Bandage?" Saikai Haruto thought, "Dazai-kun, do you still need to replace the bandage on your wound?"

He said calmly, "If I remember correctly, your wound should have scabbed over by now, so you don't need to use a bandage anymore."

The difference between people with special abilities and ordinary people is that in addition to possessing special abilities, their physical abilities are also much higher than those of ordinary people - including self-healing ability.

For a normal person, a serious injury would require three to five months of bed rest, but for some people with special abilities, it might only take one month or even less than half a month. For a normal person, the wounds on Dazai Osamu might take ten days to half a month to scab over, but in fact, only three to five days had passed since he moved in here, and the wounds on his body had already shown signs of scabbing and healing.

In other words, this sentence can also seem to be understood as another topic - leaving.

Dazai Osamu looked at Saikai Haruto calmly. One of his iris-colored eyes was covered by a bandage wrapped around his head, and the other eye that was not covered was covered with a dark color.

The air in the study gradually became stagnant.
