We're doomed!
[Oh my god, he punched Dazai right off the bat, probably because of Akutagawa earlier, right?]
Don't reward Dazai, Chuuya!
[lollhhhhh, the first thing he said upon meeting was a critical hit to Dazai~ Chuuya calls you his former partner~]
Chuuya, who was still in a punching stance, saw this comment, his pupils contracted, he withdrew his hand, and stood up.
However, I didn't feel much about the last comment. Would someone like Dazai care about a title?
But whether it was his imagination or not, Chuuya felt that Dazai's emotions were not as frivolous as at the beginning, and he seemed to have become somewhat lonely and sad.
Haha, that must be my imagination. That's Dazai!
"Ahem! After all this time, Chuuya, you're still that violent little dwarf. You haven't changed at all."
Dazai coughed up the blood and froth from his throat, staring intently at Chuuya, deep in thought.
"You're the same way, you're probably still full of flirtatious talk, always clamoring about dying for love with girls."
"Um."
"...You never deny that."
"What's there to deny? To die for love with a beautiful lady is my lifelong pursuit, and you already knew that, Chuuya."
"Tch, who wants to know about you? Now let's talk about what you're really up to."
Chuuya reached out and grabbed Dazai's hair, forcing Dazai to lower his head, his beautiful blue eyes fixed on Dazai.
"Chuu saw everything, but he was just caught and waiting to die. It was really upsetting that Chuuya punched me so angrily as soon as he arrived."
[Mori Ougai, your senior officer is gay~]
"I don't believe you can be caught so easily, after all, you are Dazai!"
"If you were really that stupid, I would have killed you long ago. After all, no one in this world wants to kill you more than I do, Dazai."
Chuuya suddenly released Dazai's hair, turned around, and looked angry.
I came here specifically to see you.
Is Dazai's expression one of nostalgia?
You two really know each other well.
This is how I see Dazai Osamu.
This is fate.
"You're overthinking it. Actually, I came here specifically to see you, Chuuya."
"Huh? You think I'd believe such a lame excuse? Don't disgust me, okay?"
"What about Chuuya? Come to think of it, I still don't know why Chuuya came."
"Of course, I came here specifically to make a fool of you and cause you trouble. After all, you're a prisoner now, Dazai."
Chuuya turned around and pointed at Dazai, but then immediately put his hands behind his head.
"Originally, I came here to challenge you to a duel, but now I've changed my mind. I'm going to personally shatter all your hidden plans. Just watch here as I destroy them one by one."
Chuuya turned around, ready to leave, but then he heard Dazai's voice behind him, followed by a crisp snap of his fingers.
"Chuya."
Chuuya turned around and saw Dazai, who had already pried open his handcuffs and was rubbing his sore wrists, holding a hair clip in his hand.
"Are you suggesting you can just walk away? Do you think that's possible?"
As expected, Chuuya's expression showed no surprise; instead, he smiled.
"You think you can stop my plan? Chuuya has only been around for four years, you haven't forgotten my methods, have you?"
"Then let's give it a try. I've been wanting to give you a good beating for the past four years."
Chuuya suddenly threw his suit jacket aside and kicked Dazai.
"Oh my god, Chuuya has been thinking about me for the past four years? That's really disgusting."
While retreating to avoid Chuuya's attack, Dazai teased Chuuya.
"Ha, who would think about a mackerel for no reason?"
Taking advantage of Chuuya's distraction, Dazai suddenly grabbed Chuuya's arm and punched him in the stomach with his other fist.
Chun was stunned by the punch, and then immediately kicked out, sending Dazai crashing into the wall.
"Although your special ability is rather troublesome, Dazai, your physical skills are surprisingly poor. If I really wanted to kill you, I wouldn't even need my special ability."
Chuuya looked at Dazai with a serious expression, while Dazai jumped up from the ground, lowered his head, and his long hair covered most of his face, making it impossible to tell his emotions.
"As expected of a master of hand-to-hand combat in the mafia, I feel like my arm is ruined from blocking that."
Chuuya's pupils contracted; this guy had seen through his moves beforehand.
[Your first reaction after being hit is still to praise Zhongye's skills? Hajizai, you bastard!]
[Dazai still cares about his former partner.]
And what was that comment just now? Dazai blocked that attack, so was he mocking me? But Dazai did seem to genuinely acknowledge my superior physical skills.
Chuuya's expression twisted for a moment, then returned to normal, unnoticed by Dazai, who was still looking down.
Dazai stretched his arms, jumped up from the ground, and looked up to meet Chuuya's gaze.
"Although my physical skills are not good, Chuuya, your physical skills haven't improved much either. I know your timing, moves and routines like the back of my hand. Otherwise, what kind of partner would we be, Chuuya?"
After saying this, Dazai tilted his head and looked at Chuuya, a smile on his lips, but his eyes were unusually serious.
Chuuya suddenly remembered what the comment said about Dazai caring about his former partner, and it seemed like there might be some truth to that.
"Although you praised my martial arts skills, I have no intention of holding back. Let me show you how to use your fists properly!"
After saying that, Chuuya pushed off with his feet and appeared in front of Dazai in the next second, then suddenly threw a punch.
"That's fast."
Dazai's pupils contracted, and before he could react and dodge, Chuuya's fist slammed into his left cheek, causing him to stagger.
Then Zhongye threw several more punches, each one landing squarely.
"You think you can defeat me just because you can see through my actions, Dazai?"
All the punches landed on his abdomen, causing Dazai to cough and choke on his saliva. Although the blows seemed fierce, the locations of the punches were not likely to cause substantial damage. Apart from the first punch, Dazai did not suffer any serious injury from the subsequent punches.
Dazai wiped the drool from his mouth and, seeing that there was no blood as expected, couldn't help but laugh out loud. Meanwhile, Chuuya, who was about to grab him and question him, paused in his tracks and stood still, looking at Dazai warily.
"What are you up to now, you rascal?"
"How could that be, Chuuya? I just suddenly remembered something and forgot to check. Also, I wasn't just praising you~"
This time, Dazai didn't keep dodging like before, but started to attack. Chu, unsure of Dazai's intentions, became wary and began to parry.
"Didn't you want to duel me? Why are you the one holding back, Chuuya?"
Dazai's lips curled into a smile, which, combined with his bruised and battered face, gave him a kind of battle-worn handsome look.
"ha?"
How could he not play freely? Chuuya stopped blocking and defending, and started fighting with Dazai. You punch me, I kick you.
Dazai's eyes flashed, and in the brief moment when Chuuya was hit, he grabbed Chuuya's hands with one hand, while his other hand reached out with a clear purpose towards the back of Chuuya's neck, which was covered by his hair.
Dazai's smile twitched. Ah, he touched that annoying pendant. He hadn't changed it yet. The shadow in Dazai's eyes deepened, and he looked extremely sinister in the dungeon environment.
Since Chuuya himself didn't intend to replace it, Dazai would reluctantly help him out. Dazai's fingertips twitched slightly, but unexpectedly, the chorker on Chuuya's neck didn't react at all.
Dazai's expression froze for a moment, and the sinister aura emanating from him vanished. He blinked his eyes and looked rather cute.
Both of them are letting loose at sea.
[Neither of them bled; Chuuya, aren't you a master of taijutsu?]
Let's take a look at a tutorial on how to land punches that land squarely, yet leave your clothes slightly dirty.
[Dazai's choking gesture, the two of them in that position, family, I can't take it anymore]
I can't take it anymore.
[The young lady has been released into the sea, into the Pacific Ocean.]
"What the hell are you doing, you bastard?!"
Chuuya, who had just had his neck pressed down and his hands grabbed by Dazai, was completely unaware of how strange their current posture was. After seeing the comments, he realized what was happening and felt terrible.
Chuuya used his elbow to separate the dazed Dazai from himself, and when he noticed Dazai's absent-mindedness, he was suddenly ignited.
"We're doomed."
Dazai, who had already regained his senses and noticed Chuuya's emotions, had a faint expression that revealed a sense of death. He was then choked by Chuuya and pinned against the wall.
"You dare to be distracted during my duel?"
Zhong suddenly pulled out a dagger from somewhere and held it to Dazai's neck. He neither confirmed nor denied the comments that the viewers were saying he was going easy on Dazai.
He didn't actually use his full strength; that guy's body was pitifully fragile, and there was still some information he hadn't managed to extract from him. He was only there for that information, that's all.
"Explain your purpose to me before you die, and why you deliberately let yourself be caught."
The dim light from the streetlights cast shadows on Chuuya's wide-brimmed hat, revealing his slightly chubby face staring intently and fiercely at Dazai. For some reason, Dazai was hallucinating a puppy—clearly cute, yet deliberately putting on a fierce expression. Ugh, how disgusting.
As expected, Chuuya and dogs are the most annoying things in the world. Although Dazai thought this, his eyes never left Chuuya.
"You won't tell me? No problem, I have plenty of ways to make you spill all your little schemes."
Chuuya moved his knife forward a little further, pressing it firmly against Dazai's neck. Now, if either Dazai or Chuuya moved even slightly, the dagger would leave a mark on Dazai's neck.
After a moment, Dazai leaned back slightly, avoiding the dagger that was about to pierce his skin, took a deep breath, and looked at Chuuya.
"Actually, I just want to know which tycoon offered a 7 billion bounty for the man-tiger."
