Dazai made the first move.
"So what's your plan now?"
Chu was scratching his head in frustration, while Dazai had already found a comfortable spot to lie down.
"It's not me, it's us! We're all in this together now. As for now, we can only wait. That rat should make a move tonight. Let's just hide until nightfall. He's just trying to use us ordinary people to wear us down."
"It would be best if it were as you said."
Hearing Dazai say this, Chuuya's tense emotions relaxed a little, and he found a place that was neither too close nor too far away to sit down.
"You believe in my Chuuya, don't you?"
Dazai stared into Chuuya's eyes and suddenly blurted out this sentence. Chuuya made a whistling sound through his nose and did not refute Dazai's words.
[Dazai cleverly devised a series of schemes, ensnaring Chuuya on the pirate ship.]
[Dazai's unwavering belief in Chuuya is truly impressive.]
[Just the two of you!]
[A lone man!]
But there was absolutely no communication...
[At least now that there are no seats available across the country, it's already an epic improvement.]
[Yokohama's famous wooden block and coward. Although this wooden block has blossomed, its essence is still that of a wooden block. What exactly are you expecting?]
This long-lost harmonious atmosphere, where they stayed quietly in one space without arguing, left Chuuya somewhat at a loss. With Dazai by his side, Chuuya didn't have to think about those troublesome things. He trusted Dazai without a doubt, even though they had been separated for four years.
Chung also tapped the table out of boredom, his gaze sweeping over the comments, his thoughts drifting away. He had actually wanted to have a proper chat with Dazai before, but every time that bastard would make him furious. Later, Dazai betrayed him, and their positions were different, so every time they met they were on the verge of war, as if their auras were incompatible from the start.
Those things that Chuuya had forcibly ignored also came flooding back. Although he noticed many details after being reminded by the comments, Dazai might not hate him as much as he showed. But would Dazai really... like him?
For Dazai, those were four years of no interaction, but for Chuuya, it was not. After the unexpected joy of having the bullet comments, he could often learn about Dazai's news and current situation from the bullet comments. In the middle of the time, he came back and saw how Dazai was getting along with his new partner.
So when Chung-ya realized his feelings, he had already decided to confess. He wasn't in the character to hesitate, nor did he want to give himself a way out or lose the hard-won courage. Chung-ya stopped thinking about other possibilities.
After all, Chuuya was prepared for his wishful thinking and for being mocked by Dazai... Just as the comments said, they had been apart for much longer than they had been together.
No, if that guy dares to laugh at me, I'll definitely beat him up.
Zhong was so amused by his own thoughts that he laughed out loud, and stopped thinking about things that would only make him back down.
Chuuya snapped out of his reverie and focused his attention on the bullet comments. Although the number of bullet comments he could collect was limited, an important piece of information would often pop up unexpectedly, even though most of the time he would just joke around and talk about abstract things.
His gaze inadvertently swept over Dazai, who was slumped in the chair, and in the next second, he almost jumped up from the stool.
"Chuya?"
"What...what are you doing?!"
Yes, just as Chuuya looked over, Dazai suddenly spoke up, and Chuuya subconsciously responded, though he was startled by the sudden voice and his hair stood on end.
[Don't panic, if we're discovered, we'll just watch openly.]
【It's all Dazai's fault for seducing you first, we can testify】
[So it was Dazai who broke the silence first? Very good, that's the demeanor of a number one.]
Chuuya was speechless at the teasing from the comments, but he calmed down and looked at Dazai openly. Dazai had already sat up straight and was looking at Chuuya with a smile in his eyes.
"I'm curious about some things, so I'd like to ask Chuuya himself~"
"Then ask away, but I might not be able to answer you."
Encouraged by the comments, Chuuya thought about it seriously and realized that this was indeed a hard-won opportunity to get closer to Dazai. He pressed his finger on the brim of his hat and looked up at Dazai with curiosity.
[How abrupt! What will Dazai ask?]
I thought Dazai knew everything about Chuuya.
Curiosity +1
The viewers in the live chat were just as curious as Chuuya about what Dazai would ask.
"You might not answer me. That's such an unfair answer, Chuuya."
"So, do you still want to ask? If not, then forget it."
When Dazai speaks in this tone, it means he might be up to something, especially since it's just the two of them now. They'll be the only ones who suffer. Chuuya obviously knows this too and wants to avoid danger. He has many secrets he can't tell anyone.
"Even if Chuuya says that, I still want to ask~ Chuuya already promised me, so he can't go back on his word."
If Chuuya hadn't looked away guiltily, he would have seen the obsessive determination in Dazai's eyes. Of course, Dazai wouldn't let Chuuya pretend to be stupid and run away from the situation.
Chuuya became alert, wary of Dazai trying to extract information from him.
"Don't be so nervous~ Even though Chuuya took my first kiss while I was unconscious, I didn't hold it against him afterwards!"
"That was my first kiss too! And that was your first kiss?"
Actually, Chuuya seemed to be somewhat conscious at the time, unlike his previous state of complete unconsciousness. He nervously retorted and remained skeptical about Dazai's first kiss.
"Hey! Chuuya, even if I have a face that's popular with girls, you can't slander me like that! I'm into pure love stories, so in the end, I always give out your number, Chuuya!"
"So you admit you did it on purpose! I'm going to tell them about this."
Naka also chuckled coldly, recalling the strange phone calls he had received from time to time over the years.
"Please don't do this, Chuuya!"
[Hahaha, don't let this little rabbit get away with it!]
[Support Chuuya's sanctions against Dazai]
[A scene that everyone will find delightful. Dazai, remember this: when Chuuya attacks, all you'll see is your bare buttocks.]
[Wait, not even the buttocks! Damn it, I'm going to seal Dazai's buttocks with cement!]
[Actually, I can't believe it really was my first kiss.]
Although I knew it might be Dazai in disguise, I couldn't help but suspect him. I repent.
Does our uncertainty mean he bears no responsibility at all?
Later, Dazai asked Chuuya a few questions about what happened when he was suffering from amnesia and was caught up in the Five Signs of Decay. Chuuya gradually lowered his guard, thinking that Dazai wanted to see if there was any information that had been missed.
"So the rats just sent you to attack us, and there was no other plan?"
"I've told you everything. There really are no other special arrangements."
Chuuya was repeatedly asked by Dazai to recall the details of the incident to make sure nothing was missed. This repeated questioning finally made Chuuya a little impatient.
"Okay—then could you tell me why you can't take your choker off?"
Dazai drew out his words and finally blurted out what he really wanted to know.
"Of course I want to pick it too!"
Caught off guard, Chuuya blurted out the answer without thinking, instantly revealing his mistake and falling into a linguistic trap.
Chuuya suppressed the urge to cover his neck with a grim expression, and looked up to meet the gaze of Dazai, who had somehow appeared in front of him.
