It's love at first sight.
It's love at first sight!
[That's exactly what it looks like when you're experiencing first love!]
Are they both really that innocent?
[I already said I've never loved you, how could I hate you like this?]
Chuuya reached out and touched his heart, which was pounding violently, each beat seeming to say something. Something seemed wrong. Could it really be like what the comments were saying? Looking at the comments, he seemed to be starting to waver.
Chuuya covered the lower half of his face with his hand, on the verge of collapse. The contrast between his exposed skin and the normal skin tone on his hand was even more striking. Could he really have fallen for that... bastard Dazai? He hated that guy the most.
"Dazai-san? That's wonderful!"
On the other side, Atsushi Nakajima breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Dazai approach, his expression becoming much more relaxed.
"What's wrong, Atsushi-kun? Has Shibusawa Tatsuhiko not been dealt with yet?"
Dazai approached, his usual smile still on his face.
"It's all over now, and Akutagawa has already left."
"I see! Then why did you look so distressed just now, Mr. Atsushi?"
"Oh! Well, it's because it was Mr. Nakahara who finally dealt with Tatsuhiko Shibusawa. Kyoka and Akutagawa both said that Mr. Nakahara was in a dangerous state and that you had to step in to stop him. I don't know why, but ever since I saw Mr. Dazai, I felt that Mr. Nakahara was already alright."
After explaining all this, Atsushi Nakajima scratched the back of his head sheepishly, lowered his head, and gave an awkward laugh. While he was looking down, Atsushi didn't notice that Dazai's smile, which had been on his face, suddenly froze for a moment.
"Was Shibusawa Tatsuhiko ultimately defeated by Chuuya?"
"Yes, Mr. Zhongyuan's aura at that time was really frightening. I almost couldn't help but transform into my white tiger form."
[You silly boy, what are you saying? Look up!]
[Are you starting to feel sorry for her now?]
After returning home, Dazai frantically flipped through the script, trying to figure out where he had gone wrong.
[I'm actually savoring it all the time]
"Hahaha."
"What's wrong with Mr. Dazai?"
Atsushi Nakajima looked at Dazai, who suddenly started laughing, with some confusion. As expected, he really couldn't understand Dazai-san's behavior.
"It's nothing~ I just suddenly thought that the one who saved the director should also be that short guy. After all, someone who is 160cm tall and wearing an ugly top hat looks like Chuuya no matter how you look at it."
Dazai avoided Nakajima Atsushi's question and instead brought up another topic that would surely interest him, while his fingertips dug deep into his flesh.
Atsushi Nakajima's attention was immediately drawn to this sentence, and he was pleasantly surprised.
"It's actually Mr. Nakahara? We really have to thank him!"
As expected of Atsushi-kun~ He still lies like this. I feel a little guilty now. Dazai smiled helplessly.
"This incident has been completely resolved, Chief."
"Very good. How's Chuuya-kun doing?"
Mori Ougai tapped his fingers lightly on the office chair beneath him.
"Chuuya is doing quite well now."
"leader."
As the two were talking, Chuuya arrived at the leader's office.
"Chūya-kun did a great job this time. As expected of a gravity user belonging to the mafia, you are my capable subordinate."
"It is my responsibility to share the burden with the leader."
"I heard that Chuuya-kun resolved two singularities in one go this time?"
"That should be it, but I don't remember exactly."
"I thought Dazai-kun would give you a minor role in the opening scene. I bet Dazai-kun would doubt himself if he found out. That's the funniest joke I've heard all year."
Mori Ougai smiled, while Chuuya pursed his lips.
"I'm not going to be an extra, like this..." There's no screen time, not really for them... I just don't want to see complaints in the comments.
"I'm not going to let that guy lead me by the nose!"
The rest of the sentence was never spoken; ultimately, all the blame fell on Dazai.
"This time, Dazai really gave that kid a little fright."
[Dazai: Let's find a chance for Chuuya to make his coolest entrance without getting injured. Chuuya would absolutely adore me.]
[Chuuya: He made me a background character; he's provoking me.]
Mori Ōgai: "But I have a feeling that something storm is brewing."
Chuuya Nakahara lowered his head and adjusted his hat, even though that bastard...
"No matter what, the Mafia is never going to have an accident."
"I will also help the leader protect the organization."
Mori Ougai smiled and looked up at the city below the floor-to-ceiling window.
"Cheers to Yokohama!"
"For Yokohama."
"cheers."
...
A white hem fluttered in the wind atop a distant high-rise building. Dostoevsky played with an apple in his hand, his gaze fixed on the distant seaside.
"Ah! Another failure. Actually, I quite like this new combination. But as expected of the famous Gravity Master, they are really amazing."
"Ah~ Then let's team up with Chuuya-kun next time! It'll definitely be a fun and interesting friendship~ But it won't reflect my free will at all, so—I want to..."
"Your suggestion is great, I'll consider it."
Tuosi thoughtfully tossed the apple around, but a knowing smile played on his lips.
[Chūya: Danger]
[Dazai: No, I have a feeling someone wants to mess with my dog.]
[Doku has his eye on Chuuya]
Are we going to put on an act for Boss Tuo again?
[General Tuo: I am Lei Taizhong]
Meanwhile, Chuuya, who was still celebrating, swirled the wine glass in his hand, a dark glint flashing in his eyes. Had the evil idea fallen on him? He had been looking forward to catching this rat for a long time.
After that, nothing seemed to change. Except for the daily updates from a little devil on my phone, and the occasional appearance of a white tiger boy in my surroundings, life seemed to be the same as before.
Chuuya stopped in his tracks and suddenly turned around to stare at the bushes behind him.
"What are you doing following me?"
"We've been discovered!"
"Huh? We've been so careful, that's really impressive. Shouldn't you go and talk to that handsome gentleman directly, Atsushi-kun?"
"But we've been caught following someone, and it's really embarrassing."
The two of them started discussing like that, completely unaware that Chuuya had already walked up to them.
[lol Atsushi Nakajima has been thinking about how to thank Chuuya ever since he learned from Dazai that Chuuya saved the Dean.]
[Actually, part of it is due to the positions of both sides; they didn't know how to bring it up, so they just kept following along.]
They don't think they've got the perfect cover-up, do they? Look up!
Chuuya had a tic-tac-toe sign above his head. These two guys were supposed to be stalking, but they didn't have any skill at all. Almost as soon as they appeared, Chuuya noticed them without needing any prompts from the comments.
Are you pretending I don't exist?
Atsushi Nakajima: "We're doomed..."
"Is it because the handsome hat-wearing gentleman is angry?"
Kenji was grabbed by the shoulder and shaken by Atsushi Nakajima. He blinked and suddenly blurted out a sentence.
Is this what it means to be naturally naive?
It's precisely this kind of completely honest honesty that makes it so irresistible.
Chuuya's lips curled up slightly at Kenji's words, but he still stared at the two of them with a dangerous expression.
"I'm sorry! I just wanted to thank you for saving my...father."
Atsushi Nakajima said the last two words so softly they were almost inaudible. Chuuya suddenly remembered that he had saved a person holding a newspaper not long ago. What a coincidence!
"Then why didn't you just tell me directly that it wasn't okay? Why did you follow me?"
Chuuya led the two to a very famous high-end restaurant.
"The main problem is that I didn't know how to say it, and I was looking for a good opportunity."
Atsushi Nakajima scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, while Kenji next to him began to look around curiously.
"Alright, let's see what we want to eat."
Chuuya suddenly remembered that he had been thinking of treating this kid to a meal a long time ago, but he had never found the time. Now, by some twist of fate, he had the opportunity.
[This is hilarious! One dish alone is worth more than Dun Dun's entire fortune!]
[I've already started counting my wallet]
Chuuya glanced at the comments, but he hadn't noticed them. In fact, he hadn't intended for that guy, Tiger Boy, to pay. This reaction was just inexplicably amusing.
"This one will do."
Atsushi Nakajima ticked off the cheapest dish, then closed his eyes tightly and handed the menu to Chuuya with a death-defying air, his voice trembling slightly.
Chuuya deliberately ignored Nakajima Atsushi's expression and handed the menu to Kenji.
"Really, anything is possible?"
Kenji exclaimed in surprise as he flipped through the menu.
Chuuya, with a wicked thought in mind, deliberately remained silent, only nodding when Kenji had finished looking at it.
[Does Dondon really think he's supposed to pay for this meal? Kenji can tell.]
[The child wasn't particularly bright from a young age, but they seemed to have a lot of fun in elementary school, right?]
The person who finally took the menu didn't look at it much, but casually ticked off a few dishes and handed the menu to the waiter.
"You don't need to be so nervous. This restaurant is very private. Although we have different organizational stances, we are just having a simple meal together."
Chuuya knew why Nakajima Atsushi was so tense, but deliberately gave a different reason, enjoying watching Nakajima Atsushi trying to appear relaxed. It was really fun to tease him.
The group finished their meal, and just as they were about to finish, Atsushi Nakajima suddenly got up and went out to use the restroom.
After Nakajima Atsushi left, Nakajima rang the bell to call a waiter to pay, and didn't even blink when swiping his card.
I also packed a few dishes and desserts for Kenji to take back later. Among them was a very fresh crab that Chuuya specifically requested.
"Is this dessert for Mr. Ranpo? No wonder Mr. Ranpo said before that you two had a pretty good relationship. Are you friends?"
"It was just something I did on the spur of the moment. It's not like I brought it all for him alone. You can divide it up however you like when you get back."
"Oh, so this is the kind of reciprocal gift-giving in big cities?"
"No, there's no need to misunderstand. Just consider it a sudden display of generosity."
Upon hearing Chuuya's words, Kenji nodded thoughtfully.
Not long after, Atsushi Nakajima returned, his initial restlessness completely gone, replaced by a strong sense of confidence.
Did he go to the president to ask for an advance on his salary? Chuuya, who was watching the live stream, immediately understood why Nakajima Atsushi was suddenly so confident. Honestly, it made him feel a little guilty.
[Haha, poor Atsushi Nakajima got teased by Chuuya!]
[After knowing in advance and having already paid the bill, Dun Dun's reaction was so cute.]
Don't let this tiger get away!
