Chapter 351 Bungou Stray Dogs and the End

Nakajima Atsushi and Akutagawa Ryunosuke sat at the farthest ends of the stairs, trying to keep a distance from each other.

Otherwise, they might accidentally start quarreling and then fighting... Don't ask, because if you ask, it's a bloody lesson.

Atsushi was already in tears: Why did Mr. Dazai disappear again?! He was originally planning to have lunch at the cafe, but he ran into Bourbon, who he didn't know if he was an enemy or a friend. Before he could do anything, he was called back by Mr. Kunikida and his team, who said they wanted to come here with Akutagawa to perform a protection mission.

As for the object of protection, it is naturally the next victim they find through Mr. Ranbu.

So after "inviting" Bourbon to sit in the detective agency upstairs (I don't know why Bourbon didn't resist), Nakajima Atsushi came here.

...But no one told him before he came here that the person sent by the port mafia would be Akutagawa! ?

Atsushi recalled the sudden gloomy look on Akutagawa's face when he first met him... Maybe he didn't even tell Akutagawa that he would be his partner this time.

Dun sighed.

"Akutagawa, are you sure they will come if we just wait here?" he muttered. "We have caught that Bourbon, we can just start with him."

To protect the victim, isn't it enough to just bring the victim back to the detective agency? Is there any detective agency that is safer?

But, the two big organizations sent these two people, is this really correct?

Akutagawa Ryunosuke closed his eyes and sneered when he heard this: "If you are afraid, you can go back now, Renhu, the next person can solve this task."

Nakajima Atsushi couldn't help but roll his eyes. "One person? Are you referring to the fact that when you were with Mr. Dazai that day, you were able to let Mr. Amuro... and Bourbon escape?"

The black [Rashomon] flashed before Dun's eyes.

Dun, who had been frightened like this countless times, snorted twice and was no longer afraid of the sudden appearance of "Rashomon".

Anyway, he finally figured it out. They were still within the agreed period, and Akutagawa was really abiding by the agreement and not taking any action. Even if a fight broke out, he would not use his supernatural powers. He was just trying to scare him.

Childish mafia!

Dun was about to say something, but suddenly stopped and cast a sharp look at the street below the steps.

His supernatural sense told him that a stranger was approaching... Was it that person? He looked over and saw a young man in a blue sweater passing by them with a guitar case on his back.

Are you passing by...?

Without exchanging glances, in the next second, Atsushi and Akutagawa jumped off the stairs in tacit understanding and rushed towards the young man.

Not just passing by! This person gave him a very dangerous feeling. Is he a member of that organization? They are going to take action——

Then, the two men, one black and one white, who had been in perfect harmony just now, bumped into each other because neither of them wanted to give up the target to the other.

The scene was very quiet for a while.

Morofushi Jingguang, who was targeted, twitched his lips and held back his smile: he had seen these two boys in his world many times, but he didn't expect that their relationship in this world would be even more hostile.

In their world, Atsushi-kun and Ryunosuke-kun are very good friends, as is Kagami-san. The three of them have a close relationship and almost always go on missions together.

Seeing that Nakajima Atsushi and Akutagawa Ryunosuke were about to quarrel again, Morofushi Kagemitsu started acting according to the original plan, pretending to be an ordinary passerby who was in a panic.

Although Akutagawa's personality makes him believe that it is better to kill by mistake than to let the person go, as expected, Nakajima Atsushi, who grew up in the detective agency, began to hesitate because of his performance - perhaps it was because the other party did not detect the malice directed at them from him?

Of course, after all, Fushigi Jingguang's target was only the guy who was parasitized inside, and he had no intention of fighting with these two teenagers from the beginning.

Morofushi Jingguang thought about it and took out a book with a red cover from his backpack.

——Edgar Allan Poe’s supernatural power, [The Black Cat of the Rue Morgue].

It is said that he does not want to have a direct conflict with these two people, so of course he will make preparations in advance. Isn't this basic quality?

Well...the basic qualities of a former undercover agent.

The following actions went as planned. The black-hearted Scottish man took some time to lock the little tiger into the novel. Unless the other party solved all the cases, he would not be able to get out before then. And Akutagawa, with the help of Gin who sniped from a distance, successfully stepped into the trap tailored for them by 'Scotland' who understood them well, and his hand wrapped in the cloth of "Rashomon" barely hit the page of the book.

However, unlike Nakajima Atsushi who was quickly sucked in, perhaps because of the special ability of "Rashomon", only one arm of Akutagawa Ryunosuke was quickly sucked in, and the whole body remained outside.

ah.

Morofushi Jingguang blinked. It seems a bit difficult... Is it stuck?

At this critical moment, Morofushi Jingguang suddenly heard the phone in his pocket ringing - he had clearly muted it in advance. The only person who could do such a thing in this situation could be his close friend.

So under Akutagawa Ryunosuke's even more ferocious gaze, Morobushi Kagemitsu smiled apologetically and then answered the phone: "Hello? Boss, what's wrong?"

Since he chose to play the audio out loud, even Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who was struggling, could hear the sound coming from the other side.

To add, the voice does not belong to Akae Nazuki, but to Dazai Osamu.

"Do you really have to tie me up like this?" Dazai Osamu said with a weak smile, "Oh, Na Yue-kun, you are too enthusiastic."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke's struggle disappeared for a while, and then became more intense!

Morofushi Kagemitsu was a little confused. Although he knew that Aka would not do nothing, when did he confront Dazai Osamu of this world?

"Isn't this what you asked for?" It was Akae Nazuki who spoke next. His tone sounded very gloomy as he asked, "Well, now you can finally answer my question, right, Mr. Dazai?"

"Um?"

Chijiang Nayue paused for a moment and said, "Tell me, who is your favorite student?"

If Morofushi Kagemitsu didn't have to hold Akutagawa down, he really would have wanted to cover his face.

That Yue asked Dazai Osamu this... definitely on purpose, right? Akutagawa almost wanted to put his eyes into his phone!

At this moment, Akutagawa Ryunosuke, with his hand still stuck in the book, stared at the mobile phone very seriously and attentively, just to hear Dazai Osamu's answer clearly.

Then he heard Dazai Osamu smiling and saying firmly: "——Of course it's you."

…

A few seconds later, Morobushi Kagemitsu successfully stuffed the lifeless Akutagawa Ryunosuke into the book.

He wiped his sweat secretly.

—

On the other hand, although Bourbon had been tied up and taken back to the detective agency, Mr. Ranpo had specifically said on the phone that although they killed those people, they were not the murderers.

Therefore, the detective agency is not sure how to treat Bourbon, a member of the mysterious organization, and can only lock him in a windowless meeting room for a while.

At this moment, the door of the detective agency suddenly opened from the outside. Kunikida's ears twitched, and the first thing he saw when he looked up was a corner of the hanging bandage.

"Dazai!" He gritted his teeth, "You finally decided to come back to work? You left Atsushi to--"

Kunikida Dopo had just stood up after slamming the table when he was stunned.

Because the person who came in from outside was not the Dazai Osamu he was familiar with, but a black-haired boy wearing a black windbreaker and many bandages wrapped around his face.

The most important thing is that the boy has a face that looks exactly like Dazai Osamu, except that the outline looks more childish.

Kunikida Doppo clearly heard the others behind him gasp, "Eh, a younger Dazai-san?!"

...What's going on? That bastard Dazai has shrunk? ?

Kunikida also gasped.

Oh no, oh no. He could beat up the 22-year-old Dazai Osamu easily without any psychological pressure, but this Dazai Osamu looks only 15 years old at most... so won't he be unable to beat him up when he gets mad at this guy in the future?

His first reaction was to think of this serious problem.

"Hmm? That's not me~" Fortunately, at this moment, a head popped out from behind the boy. This time it was the familiar Dazai Osamu. He smiled and waved, "I'm here."

After saying this, Dazai glanced at Kunikida Dopo behind his desk, and his eyes were puzzled for a moment: "…Why does Kunikida-kun look so strange?"

Akae Nazuki made a rational judgment: "She was probably thinking about which one was more painful: 'Dazai Osamu shrunk to an age where he couldn't be beaten' or 'Dazai Osamu split into two'."

"Huh?! Split!" Tanizaki exclaimed, "You can actually do that? Is it a superpower... But isn't Mr. Dazai immune to superpowers?"

Akae Nazuki and Dazai Osamu looked at each other calmly, then nodded calmly: "Yes, so I am not Dazai Osamu."

Dazai Osamu next to him added with a bright smile: "——It's my child~!"

Kunikida seemed to perk up for a second. He looked over with sharp eyes and said, "Hey Dazai, you are only 22 years old this year, how can you have a son this old?"

Chijiang Nayue was calm and composed, and threw out her ultimate weapon: "So I am not from this world, I come from a parallel world. Mr. Ranpo should also know this, you can ask him."

He was a little scheming. It was clear that he was from a parallel world, but he chose to say it after the previous topic. To others, it sounded like he was saying that he was the future child of Dazai Osamu from the parallel world.

Akae Nazuki's hand behind her back clapped happily with Dazai Osamu's hand behind his back.

"T-Dazai actually has a son this big in the future, instead of growing old alone..." Kunikida Dopo pushed his glasses and couldn't help muttering to himself, "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, is this a nightmare..."

"Since Mr. Dazai has acknowledged it, it must be true, right?" The others believed it because they all trusted Dazai's ability and his face was so convincing.

Then, someone couldn't help but be curious and asked from the crowd, "Who is Mr. Dazai's mother?"

"Oh." Akae Nazuki said lightly and sincerely, "Teacher Chuuya has been like a family member to me and has nurtured me for many years."

He glanced at Kunikida and added with amusement, "Of course, the same is true for Kunikida-senpai."

Kunikida Doppo over there immediately revealed a terrifying expression as if a thousand Dazai Osamu were crawling on his body: "......!!!"

Furiya Rei, who was still locked in the conference room, sneezed. He was very curious about what was going on outside, but unfortunately he didn't set up an eavesdropping device before entering, so he couldn't hear anything now.

I really want to know what’s going on outside, it sounds so lively.

—

Kudo Shinichi was still very surprised when he saw his brother outside the tailor shop.

"Brother Yue? Why are you here?" He took advantage of Huiyuan and Sharon, two female creatures who had made peace with each other at some point, to buy bags and sneaked out to pat the boy on the shoulder, "What's the mission... uh."

Kudo Shinichi was silent.

Kudo Shinichi was confused.

"Then Brother Yue, what are you doing?"

He saw Akae Nayue standing at the entrance of the alley with her back to him, holding a wig fluttering in the wind. Further inside the alley, a figure who looked like Dazai Osamu was leaning over an unconscious man whose face could not be seen clearly, doing something small.

Akae Nayue looked mysterious: "Hmm? Ah, Shinichi, I'm just doing good things."

…

Really? He doesn't believe it.

However, Kudo Shinichi was not prepared to stop Akae Nayue from playing outside - what was there to stop? Nayue brother would not do anything bad!

"Come to think of it, it's already afternoon, so Brother Yue, do you want to go back with us?" Kudo Shinichi touched his chin and asked in a low voice.

"No." Chijiang Nayue slowly revealed an innocent smile, "I haven't finished doing good deeds yet."

Kudo Shinichi left with confusion and didn't know that not long after he left, Akae Nazuki and Dazai Osamu also left.

Ten minutes later, the knocked-out man woke up in the alley. He immediately showed a sharp look in his eyes. Alice, a supernatural being reflecting red light, flew in the air and patrolled everywhere, but the people who attacked them had already left.

This man was Mori Ogai, who had brought Alice shopping. Unfortunately, after what happened, he certainly had no mood to continue shopping, and he immediately took Alice back to the port mafia to get a thorough physical examination.

What Mori Ou didn't know was that when he got off the car, at the time when a large number of people were leaving the Ganghei Building after get off work, there were two people secretly observing him.

"What's the angle?" Dazai asked in a low voice.

"Wait a moment." Chi Jiang Na Yue whispered cooperatively, "Okay, that's enough!"

He stamped his feet lightly.

Suddenly, the red light visible to the psychic attacked the direction outside Mori Owl! The latter quickly squatted down to avoid the attack, and the mafia members around him were all startled and alert.

Dare to attack the BOSS on their territory? That's too arrogant...

As soon as Sen Ou stood still, he found that everyone around him was glancing at the top of his head.

He frowned and touched his hair suspiciously - there was no hair there. The part on the top of his head was blown by the wind, making it cold, and the wig that was originally covering it fell to the ground.

Mori Owl froze.

Where's his hair? !

At the same time, while most people were on guard downstairs, Akae Nazuki and Dazai Osamu had already sneaked into the floor where the five major cadres were located with the help of Gin's handwritten order.

Although they could have bypassed the guards and gotten in quietly, that would have been pointless!

So in the end, Akae Nayue pushed the gift box, stood in front of the guard on duty nearby, and cleared her throat: "Please let me pass. This is a business trip gift prepared by the boss for Mr. Chuuya. Mr. Chuuya should put it in his office before he comes back tonight."

The guards looked at each other in confusion, and after checking the authenticity of Silver's handwritten order, they gave way to him.

"As expected of Mr. Chuuya, he can even get a gift from the boss after returning from a business trip." They sighed in a low voice.

Only Akae Nayue looked straight ahead, pretending not to hear the painful sound of Dazai Osamu, who was pretending to be an ordinary subordinate, following him. ...cough.

They all went to the tailor shop...how could they go back empty-handed?

—

The port mafia building was the last stop for the day. After playing pranks all day, Dazai Osamu waved goodbye to Akae Nazuki in a refreshed mood, and warmly welcomed this disciple from another world who was very much to his liking to come and play again next time. However, Akae Nazuki could only suddenly become deaf in response to this invitation.

His teacher holds a grudge. If he nods at this moment, he will be avenged when he returns home.

At the same time, Furuya Rei had been released from the detective agency because of the prank he and Dazai Osamu had performed in the detective agency in the afternoon and the subsequent explanation. When he looked up, he could see the blond young man leaning against the alley in front, waiting for him to come over with his head down and his phone pressed.

I have to say, I had a really great time today.

Chijiang Nayue smacked her lips and thought contentedly as she walked out.

As expected, the reactions of people who have never been pranked by him are the most interesting.

Well, we've had enough fun, and we've completed our mission, and it's time to go home.

Chi Jiang Na Yue's steps suddenly paused, he turned half sideways and looked behind him.

"It has been talking non-stop for a long time, even louder than a book..." the boy said in a slightly distressed tone, "Can you go and take a rest now? I have a few cats waiting for me at home."

Huh?

"Hmm? Yes, I'm just talking to you." Chijiang Nayue rubbed his face, revealing a sly smile from between his fingers, "Is this a big surprise?"

After saying this, he straightened his body again, covered his lips and secretly yawned, then continued to walk out, just waving his hands behind him casually: "Forget it, then I won't say any more, see you again someday."

At the corner of the alley, Rei Furuya poked his head out and asked curiously to his friend behind him: "aka? Who are you talking to...Aren't you leaving yet?"

Chijiang Nayue then held her chin up and asked in a serious tone, "Yeah, who am I talking to? There's no one else here."

Fūya shuddered out of reflex and said with a half-moon-like look in his eyes, "Hey... you're not saying there are ghosts here, are you?"

"I didn't say that." Akae Nazuki looked back at him innocently for two seconds, then threw herself behind her friend and hung herself on the gorilla's back. She even went a step further and wrapped her legs around Furuya Zero's waist, and righteously requisitioned her friend as a temporary seat, "Stupid Zero - ah, I can't walk anymore, carry me."

"Is it only at times like this that you remember that you are two years younger than me?" Furuya Ling walked out steadily, cursing, "No personal attacks."

"Are gorillas considered human beings?"

“So personal attacks are prohibited!”

The two of them left while arguing.

Before they completely disappeared at the end of the road, Chijiang Nayue quickly turned her head and blinked her right eye in this direction.

"This time it's really goodbye~"

——END——!
