After chatting with Taneda Sanhuotou for nearly two hours, when he came out, the surroundings were already a little dark, and the sky was faintly dyed with a hint of orange and yellow clouds. It was only when Dazai saw the clouds that he realized that he had been arguing with Taneda Sanhuotou for nearly two hours.

It is around five in the afternoon. Although it is late, some stores are busy at this time, such as the store that Ango Sakaguchi and Dazai came to.

For some reason, the two chose a particularly busy store. Under the lingering steam and dim lights, Dazai's eyes, which were usually closer to dark black, also took on a warm color under the warm yellow light.

The two of them didn't order much, and most of the dishes were even ordered by Dazai. He was humming an unknown song while waiting for the dishes to be served.

Sakaguchi Ango sat opposite him, looking a little dazed.

How long has it been since we saw such a scene?

Sakaguchi Ango didn't know, and he didn't know how to recall. Ever since the incident with Oda Sakunosuke, his relationship with Dazai Osamu could never go back to the way it was before. And because of the guilt in his heart, he couldn't and didn't dare to take the initiative to look for Dazai Osamu.

Because no matter what, Sakaguchi Ango was indeed the culprit who caused Oda Sakunosuke's death. Just as Dazai Osamu would not forgive himself, Sakaguchi Ango would not be able to forgive himself.

Dazai raised his eyes to look at him, the black-haired man lowered his eyes, immersed in his own thoughts - he never wanted to think deeply about this matter over the years, but when it was late at night and he had some free time at work, he would stop and rub his temples that were throbbing with pain due to the high intensity of work with his knuckles, and inevitably think of this matter.

He doesn't regret making this decision, nor does he regret meeting them, but he still has regrets.

I regret why I didn't think more, why I wasn't more prepared, and I regret that I lost the hard-earned friendship.

But even if it happened again, Ango Sakaguchi would not change the decision he made. He would just be more careful and more vigilant.

Those things flashed through his mind again and again. Oda Sakunosuke died. Wasn't Sakaguchi Ango sad?

He was also sad. The friendship of "Rogue Gang" was always among three people. His sadness was no less than Dazai Osamu's, but he found that he could not blame anyone else for this, and in the end he could only blame himself.

So he would not refuse Dazai Osamu's request, and helped Dazai Osamu as compensation, and finally worked overtime like a self-abuse. The busy work of the Special Powers Department was one of the reasons, but more of it was self-punishment similar to atonement.

What about Dazai Osamu? Would he just push everything onto Sakaguchi Ango or Mori Ogai without any psychological pressure? As mentioned before, people like Dazai Osamu always have more malice towards themselves than others, and he never hesitates to assume the greatest malice towards himself.

Therefore, in Dazai Osamu's heart, his sins are much greater than Sakaguchi Ango's, but at the same time, he will not forgive Sakaguchi Ango's sins, because those are the sins that Sakaguchi Ango set for himself.

He may be angry with Sakaguchi Ango, but at the same time, he also respects Sakaguchi Ango.

If one of the three members of the Rogue Faction dies, the remaining two will bear the blame.

The atmosphere between the two people was extremely heavy. This small room, which was made only of a wooden board and whose wall was not as high as Dazai Osamu's chest when he stood up, seemed to be isolated from the outside world at this moment. There was silence.

But soon, a waiter in uniform came over with the first dish they ordered and whispered a few words to them, which made the atmosphere a little better.

As the warm air rose from the dishes, the atmosphere between the two people seemed to be adjusted by the heat and slowly returned to normal. The two people who were originally immersed in their own emotions also came back to their senses, set up their bowls and chopsticks and started eating.
