"Well done, Atsushi-kun." Dazai looked at him and spoke slowly.

"But, but... the tiger didn't return to me..." Nakajima Atsushi had many wounds on his body, especially those on his two arms, which had three scratches left by the sharp tiger claws. The bright red blood soaked his white shirt, and his flesh and blood were exposed, and even the white bones could be vaguely seen.

The silver-haired boy seemed not to feel the scars. He looked at the man in front of him with some vulnerability, as if he wanted to get some reasons from him.

Some reason why the tiger is not on him.

The tiger's supernatural power has been with him since he was a child, but he didn't know it when he was a child. After coming to Yokohama, he found out that he was the tiger that killed many innocent lives. He even thought about committing suicide.

It was precisely because of this that he went out alone when he knew that someone offered a large reward for him, trying to minimize the losses of the detective agency in this way - of course, the ideal situation would be not to endanger the detective agency at all.

However, when he returned to the detective agency by accident, he found that everyone in the detective agency was very strong.

This seemed to give him a strange sense of security, that he was weak here and the tiger could not harm anyone else.

So he stayed and created a bond in the detective agency.

Although Mr. Dazai was always careless and always gave him documents to do, it was undeniable that Mr. Dazai never made mistakes in major matters.

——Even though Akutagawa told him before that Mr. Dazai had defected to the enemy, he still didn't believe it.

After all, that was Mr. Dazai.

Everyone in the detective agency is very friendly, whether it's the serious-looking Kunikida, the scary Ms. Yosano who carries a big axe, the strong Kenji, the Taniki siblings, or the childish but extremely smart Mr. Ranpo, or President Fukuzawa who looks super serious and reliable.

There is also Kagamihana sauce.

Now, he is no longer the lonely child who was afraid of being chased by tigers when he first came to Yokohama... He already has a family.

But now, everyone in the detective agency is in crisis. He has always thought that he was taking care of Kagamihana-chan, but now - Akutagawa and Kagamihana-chan have recovered their special powers and are actively participating in the operation to save everyone.

But he had lost his tiger powers and could only stand here, looking at the backs of others walking away.

Why...why? !

Nakajima Atsushi wanted to ask himself, but he couldn't figure it out.

Until he saw Mr. Dazai, Dazai Osamu.

If it's Mr. Dazai... If it's Mr. Dazai, then it must be okay, right?

You can definitely tell him why!

Thinking of this, the silver-haired boy raised his head, and his purple-gold pupils even sparkled with tears, "Mr. Dazai..."

Please...tell me.

…It seems like I was helped too much by my other self, and now I am completely unable to be independent.

Dazai narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at his clothes being pulled by Nakajima Atsushi, reached out and wiped the hand away, looked at the somewhat confused Nakajima Atsushi, and put on a smile, "Kagahana-chan said something to you just now, didn't she?"

He looked at the boy's face with some memories, smiled and said, "Don't dwell on the past."

"You can remember the past, but you can't live in it." Dazai blinked his eyes. The color of his eyes became a little dark, like an opaque black, perhaps because of the light. "Accept yourself accordingly."
