pretty boy?
The two arrived at the dungeon without any obstacles. Along the way, they encountered Akutagawa, who was also looking for Dazai. However, upon seeing them, Akutagawa let them go first.
At the top of the stairs, Chuuya stopped and glanced at Dazai. "You're going alone?"
"No way, Chuuya~ I have to protect my leader closely. If Chuuya gets into a fight while I'm not around, I'll be neglecting my duty~ Besides, how can I show off to Chuuya when I'm not around?"
"Isn't this your main purpose?"
Chuuya looked at Dazai's exaggerated tone and was speechless.
[Dazai would do anything to win over his counterpart with the most psychological tactics]
Not that kind
There is no obligation to be friendly to one's peers.
[I'm so moved I could cry if someone did something so troublesome just to upset the other person.]
Looking at the comments, Dazai blinked innocently, wondering what was going on. He didn't understand Smida; he just wanted to visit this fellow being in a friendly manner.
Locked to the wall, Armed Detective Zai yawned listlessly, wondering when Chuuya would arrive. He figured the shorty would probably rush back from Europe overnight to deal with this traitor after hearing the news. It had been a long time since he'd seen Chuuya.
Footsteps sounded, and Armed Detective Zai lifted his eyelids slightly. Who could it be this time?
A white suit? Verlaine? It couldn't be him. Who else in the Hong Kong underworld would wear such a flashy and conspicuous suit? Detective Zai's thoughts wandered.
When he finally saw the person's face, the usually brilliant but cunning detective's mind momentarily went blank.
"Wow~ That's quite a sight to see a dog drowning! Isn't it, Chief~"
"Um."
Chuuya followed Dazai out, looked at Dazai who was handcuffed to the wall, and gave a faint reply. His red scarf stood out conspicuously in the dimly lit dungeon.
Upon seeing the other person's face, which was identical to his own, Armed Detective Jae realized that this person was not from their world, and this was further confirmed when he overheard their conversation.
The pupils of the Armed Detective Zabuza trembled. If he hadn't misheard, what was this supposed counterpart of his called, another Chuuya?
Armed Detective Zabuza was momentarily unsure whether to be shocked that Chuuya from another world had become the leader, or to be shocked that his counterpart was actually loyal to this leader, Chuuya.
Make him call Chuuya "leader"? That's impossible even 800 years from now. Dazai began to doubt his own judgment, or was this a prank that Chuuya had specially arranged to mess with him?
"I'm starting to wonder if he's my counterpart. His relationship with the leader is so bad; it's a blasphemy against my loyalty. I really want you to disappear!"
Dazai took the initiative, making an exaggerated accusation in an aria-like tone. Chuuya, behind him, reached down to lower the brim of his hat, wishing he could plug his ears, but he still had to play along with Dazai.
Chuuya didn't look away, remaining calmly standing in place, even though Dazai's remarks were so awkward that he felt like digging a headquarters building out of his toes.
He was still very curious about the Dazai's next reaction.
"Are you out of your mind?"
After a brief mental lapse, Dazai, the Armed Detective, regained his composure and asked Dazai a question with utmost sincerity.
If this was just to disgust him, then he admits he was genuinely disgusted.
But if this is true, Armed Detective Zai feels that he will pay more attention to Mori's health in the future, to ensure that Mori can die peacefully in his position as leader.
"It's a pity that I didn't. I was genuinely honored to serve the leader, which is why I was curious about you, this oddball. But when I looked at you, you were just like everyone else. No wonder you're so ordinary... and so disheveled."
Dazai looked Dazai up and down with a disdainful and critical gaze, making Dazai almost laugh in anger.
Armed Detective Dazai looked him up and down with the same critical gaze, his eyes landing on the choker around Dazai's neck, before finally giving him a cryptic glance at Oya.
"That's still much better than you dressed all in white. Are you dressed like a mourner? Or have you changed careers to become a gigolo? I didn't expect you to have this kind of taste. Are you a masochist?"
"A pretty boy is better than a loser, but unfortunately, I am the most important brain of our mafia, the number one person after the boss. It would be a real disappointment if I weren't a pretty boy."
Dazai retorted with a forced smile.
"Who knows? Hey! Can't this leader keep an eye on your dog and make sure it doesn't bark at people? If it's going out with a collar, it should be kept on a leash."
Armed Detective Zai immediately turned to talk to Chuuya.
[Would Dazai poison himself if he licked his own lips?]
I really want to live just once using Dazai's mouth.
With such a sharp tongue, you must have never lost an argument.
[Dazai, don't mess with them, these two are demonic beings.]
Dazai also looked at Chuuya, somewhat curious about how Chuuya would answer.
Chuuya slowly walked forward and stood next to Dazai, but slightly forward in a protective posture, casually raising his eyes to meet Dazai's gaze.
"Since you know this is my dog, then whether it's checked or not depends on its owner. No matter what it does, it's none of your business as a prisoner to say. Or is it that my counterpart's personality is too good, giving you some kind of filter?"
As the last syllable fell, Chuuya's aura of authority, carrying a murderous intent, poured out towards the Armed Detective Dazai.
Of course, Chuuya didn't expect this to be useful to Armed Detective Dae, but it was enough to show his attitude.
Both Dazai were stunned. After they came to their senses, the Armed Detective Dazai's face turned ashen. Dazai looked at the Armed Detective Dazai triumphantly from behind Chuuya.
"Chief, let's go."
"Have you had enough fun?"
"It's not fun at all."
Dazai pursed his lips, and Chu said nothing more. The two left the dungeon, leaving the still dazed Detective Dazai to ponder life alone.
They ran into the cadres who had rushed back after receiving the news as soon as they came out of the dungeon.
"Are you the travelers from another world that the leader mentioned?"
Chuuya, who was originally in a hurry to teach the Armed Detective Dazai a lesson, stopped in his tracks and looked at the two of them with curiosity.
This version of myself is truly unfamiliar. Although we look the same, I can still clearly distinguish between the two of us.
"Yes, the leader's counterpart looks much better than that prisoner."
Dazai unexpectedly greeted the officers with great enthusiasm.
"You've gone to see him?"
The cadre immediately realized who the other person was referring to as a prisoner, which was quite an apt description. The cadre smiled with pleasure, "As long as you hate Armed Detective Jae, then we are good friends."
"So you're going to see him now? Actually, there's nothing to see with a loser like him. How about you show us around this world? After all, we're new here and not familiar with this place yet, so would it be an honor to invite you?"
The cadres made their choices without much hesitation. After all, they could see the Armed Detective Dazai anytime, but people from another world were rare. For the sake of the organization, he also had an obligation to supervise them.
"certainly."
Moreover, his fondness for the polite Dazai in this other world, as well as his curiosity about the taciturn counterpart behind him who had become the leader, outweighed his desire to visit his former partner in the dungeon.
So the cadre readily agreed, turned around and led the way. In a blind spot where no one could see, Dazai winked playfully at Chuuya. "Done," Chuuya said with a smirk.
Meanwhile, the Detective Dazai, who was still being beaten up by his apprentice, was unaware that Chuuya, whom he had specifically brought to see, had been kidnapped.
