Chuuya-kun is a very good person
"In the end, we have no idea whether what you're saying is true or false, right?"
Nakajima Atsushi asked the crucial question amidst Akutagawa's somewhat incredulous gaze.
"That's a good question! But right now, you have no choice but to trust me, do you?"
"Foolish tiger."
Having received the expected answer, Akutagawa gave a mocking look, and the two fell silent again.
Atsushi's desperate efforts only earned him ridicule from Akutagawa.
Not at full strength
[Akutagawa's little expression was hilarious, but later on: A human-tiger is indeed a human-tiger.]
So this is the civet cat's backup plan? Why does it have a "book"?
The most crucial point shouldn't be that he wanted to kill Dostoevsky; why didn't he use the "Book" himself?
Is this plot even true? It's getting more and more exciting!
On the other side, Chuuya had just thrown out a gravity ball when he saw this comment. His pupils suddenly contracted. Why would Gogol have the "book" he had been searching for for so long? And why would he do such a thing?
Sigma watched as the dangerous energy orb exploded and the coin bomb he fired caused a massive blast. He shrank back, thinking how mild the last attack had been. Luckily, this guy was on their side.
Although Chuuya was currently brainstorming, his hands didn't stop moving, and the same question was also swirling in the minds of the other two.
"Why me?"
"Because what I have isn't a complete book page, it's easy to tamper with it, isn't it? After all, I was the first to find the 'book,' but it's only big enough to accomplish one thing. However, I have so many things I want to write, and since I can't choose, I'll just hand it over to you. Anyway, it doesn't matter to me what you write; whatever you write can disrupt Dostoevsky's plans and give me a chance."
Gogol muttered a long passage to himself at a rapid pace, and this completely unexpected reason caused both of them to fall silent.
"So what do you want us to do?"
Atsushi Nakajima asked somewhat anxiously, and Gogol glanced at him before his gaze finally settled on Akutagawa.
"I guess Chuuya-kun is a very nice person."
After saying that, he didn't care about their reaction and disappeared in a flash.
"We haven't received the book yet!"
"You stupid tiger, look here!"
Akutagawa grabbed Nakajima Atsushi by the back of the neck with one hand and held up a long, white strip of paper in front of him.
"This looks exactly like a piece of ordinary paper, like it was neatly cut from a whole sheet. But is this size really big enough to write something down?"
Atsushi Nakajima expressed his doubts about this.
[Because you have trouble making decisions, do you just leave the problem to someone else?]
[Was the decision to hand it over to Akutagawa made because he's Chuuya's junior?]
This is because they developed feelings for each other while spending time together.
It's still too eerie...
What will they write?
Do they even know the rules for using "books"?
[Good question, but they'll probably hand it over to Dazai, right?]
Chuuya thought so too. He really didn't expect Gogol to have a "book" in his hands. However, he was curious whether Fedya knew about it. Just by assuming this, Chuuya's mood improved.
Having successfully shooed everyone away, Chuuya is now fighting against many opponents at once.
"You're really naughty, Mr. Shorty. How can you get distracted while fighting with so many of us? It's really annoying!"
In a moment of distraction, a dagger was already pressed against Chuuya's neck, fingers pressed tightly against his skin, and a flippant tone made Chuuya instantly realize who was behind him. Chuuya gritted his teeth and couldn't help but click his tongue. He hadn't felt anything last time, but this time, when he got serious, he realized how troublesome this guy was. It was as if he could predict Chuuya's next move, and the other party's ability was really annoying Chuuya.
"If you're unhappy, just put up with it!"
Chuuya delivered a back kick, forcing Dazai to release his grip on Chuuya's neck in an attempt to dodge the blow. The force was clearly intended to cripple Chuuya.
In the instant they separated, Chuuya dodged several bullets flying towards him. He reached an open space, rubbed his neck, and a provocative smile appeared on his lips. Those still conscious became even more vigilant; if the other party showed that smile, they would be in trouble.
[This terrifying muscle memory; after fighting for so long, only Dazai has managed to get close to Chuuya.]
[Akutagawa, hurry up and write! I want to see the scene where they regain their memories midway through a fight.]
Although I'd like to see it too, they'll definitely hand it over to Dazai.
Chu also spat out a mouthful of blood. That was great! He didn't want it to end like this.
"I must give this to Mr. Dazai."
Akutagawa was about to put away the pages of the "book" when he was stopped by Nakajima Atsushi. Akutagawa's gaze changed instantly. The attack tentacles formed by Rashomon were already stirring behind him. Nakajima Atsushi was certain that if he didn't give a reasonable explanation, those black tentacles would pierce through his body in the next second. This realization made Nakajima Atsushi shudder involuntarily.
"Wait a minute, Akutagawa, have you forgotten? Our initial goal was that Dazai-san is clearly not acknowledging his memories. If we just hand them over to Dazai-san like this, he might not write about restoring his memories, and then Chuuya-san would be in danger!"
Finally, Atsushi Nakajima revealed his thoughts, and Akutagawa withdrew his supernatural abilities.
Mr. Dazai...
Central Plains Cadres...
Akutagawa made up his mind, neatly folded the "book," and put it in his pocket. Seeing his actions, Atsushi Nakajima became a little anxious.
"You know how hard it is to find books! And if it's just about restoring memories, we can write it ourselves."
"Shut up, you tiger! I will make my own decision."
"Akutagawa, you're the stupid one..."
Nakajima Atsushi followed behind Akutagawa, somewhat annoyed, complaining. Before he could finish speaking, Akutagawa used his supernatural abilities to bind him up, leaving him in a state of impotent rage.
Atsushi Nakajima was forced to follow Akutagawa, struggling incessantly. Finally, the two arrived at a stationery store. As if he was worried about something, or as if he had finally realized something, Atsushi stopped struggling and quietly followed Akutagawa, staring at him curiously. Finally, the two arrived at a coffee shop, and the restraints on Atsushi Nakajima disappeared without him noticing.
The two sat facing each other in the coffee shop. Atsushi Nakajima looked at Akutagawa with an awkward expression. Why didn't he say anything when he clearly agreed with him? Just retaliate! Akutagawa is the real idiot! If Atsushi could see the comments, he would have seen the truth, but right now the only person who could see it was enjoying the battle.
"You foolish tiger, if you want what you write to become reality, it has to be logical. Think about how to write it."
"Stop cursing me, Akutagawa. Dazai-san only lost his memories related to Chuuya-san. Ranpo-san had previously speculated that Chuuya-san might have lost all his memories, and that there were also fabricated memories filling in the gaps."
Well done, Atsushi!
[MVP Atsushi Nakajima]
[Haha, Akutagawa did this on purpose, didn't he? I saw the corners of his mouth turn up.]
[Actually, I feel that although Akutagawa cares a lot about Dazai, Chuuya is also very important to him. At first, it might have just been a subconscious reaction, but after Atsushi reminded him, he immediately made a choice.]
Even we in the Mafia have genuine feelings.
Don't underestimate the bond between us!
[I'm dying of laughter! How did this civet cat end up planting bombs at someone's headquarters?!]
[Akutagawa, hurry back! Someone's raiding your base!]
"I understand. You may leave now, Human Tiger."
Atsushi Nakajima stared at Akutagawa in shock. Was he really going to just abandon him like that?!
"You think I'll just leave because you want me to? Well, I'm not leaving then. Who knows if you're planning to use the 'book' for some nefarious purpose?"
After saying this, Nakajima Atsushi clearly felt the contemptuous look from the other party. Although he regretted it as soon as he finished speaking, he refused to lose face and stubbornly held on.
"I am not you. You can leave or not as you please. If you don't leave, then keep quiet, you human-tiger."
Knowing he was in the wrong, Atsushi Nakajima stopped arguing. They both knew that the most important thing now was to use the "book" to restore their memories. Thinking of this, Atsushi Nakajima's expression also became serious.
After a long while, Akutagawa picked up his pen, and Atsushi Nakajima's expression changed.
"Akutagawa, this is our only chance right now!"
"I know, man and tiger, shut up."
Atsushi Nakajima wanted to say something more, but seeing the other person's unusually serious expression, he swallowed his words and remained silent, looking at the other person.
It's coming! It's coming!
[This couple is also great to ship!]
Can they succeed?
[Go Akutagawa!]
Diamonds still need diamonds to polish them. (Exclamation)
Simply put, evil people will be punished by other evil people (a devil's whisper).
Please, don't try to make me laugh in such a serious situation.
[Please queue up first]
Finally, Akutagawa stopped, put down his pen, and the two looked at each other before focusing their gazes on the small piece of paper.
"Did it work?"
"have no idea."
"Have we been scammed?"
"have no idea."
A seemingly random conversation ensued, with the two staring at each other blankly.
"This is also my first time using the 'Book' to read 'I Killed You, the Human-Tiger.'"
After Akutagawa finished speaking, the previously unremarkable page suddenly emitted a gentle light, and then the words on it lit up one by one, before disappearing along with the original page.
The two people who were sitting stood up at the same time, their eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.
On the other side, Chuuya had already knocked all the other members of the detective agency to the ground. Because of that troublesome healing ability, Chuuya had even carefully controlled the force he used, just enough to leave them stunned without hurting their brains.
Now only Chuuya and Dazai remain on the field, facing off against each other, their attacks aimed at each other's vital points, each trying to exploit the other's Achilles' heel.
"You're like an unkillable cockroach, your vitality is really tenacious! You're already jumping around again after only a few days."
Chuuya grabbed Dazai by the neck and sneered.
"Well, I must thank Mr. Shorty for going easy on me that day!"
Dazai pressed the dagger in his hand against Chuuya's heart from behind, his flippant voice trailing off as he heard the veins on Chuuya's forehead throbbing.
