Chapter 47
Amamiya Raisei didn't know when he got the information given to him by Sakaguchi Ango.
He sat on the bed, holding the thick stack of documents in his hands, staring blankly out the window. After confirming his situation, Sakaguchi Ango left in a hurry for work, but before leaving, he asked someone to give him the information of "Tsushima Shuji".
He was the only one in the ward at the moment, and the silence was so suffocating.
Amemiya Ruisei felt that he was thinking about a lot of things, but those thoughts were too complicated and just flashed through his mind quickly without leaving any trace in his brain. It was so blank as if he was not thinking about anything.
Tsushima Shuji... Dazai Osamu...
He closed his eyes and gasped for breath.
[Host…] The system spoke cautiously, [Have you calmed down?]
After hearing what Sakaguchi Ango said just now, Amamiya Keisei almost fainted again. Fortunately, the system screamed in his head and pulled him out of his chaotic emotions. Otherwise, he would have to go to the emergency room again as soon as he woke up.
The system said worriedly: [Host, although this is the world you live in, the Tsushima Shuji here is not the one you know. If...if the host is really worried, after passing this place, just pay more attention to the mission objectives.]
The system felt a little guilty. It had previously said that the world where Tsushima Shuji died was unlikely, but it didn't expect that the world where Amamiya Keisei was located was like this. If it had known this, it would not have taken out this task. Anyway, there are still several complete tasks, so wouldn't it be better to do the others!
[Host?]
[I'm fine.] Amemiya said tiredly, [I know he's not the Shuji-kun I know...but, when I saw Shuji-kun like that before I left, how could I not worry.]
What if, what if Shuji really ends up like Dazai Osamu here?
Amemiya Reizo half closed his eyes and mustered up the courage to look at the information in his hand. As the former leader of the Port Mafia, there was a lot of information on Dazai Osamu, and every single thing he heard was horrifying. However, what he wanted to see was not how many things the other party had done.
He opened the first file, which was the latest information found by the Special Powers Department about Dazai Osamu before he was 14 years old.
Because it has just started to be collected, there is not much information. It only briefly describes some things when Dazai Osamu was still called Tsushima Shuji, including his family members and the junior high school he attended. Then, when he was 14 years old, he disappeared from the Tsushima family and appeared in Yokohama, but the Tsushima family did not look for him and ignored it.
[He left the Tsushima family when he was 14 years old.] If the development of both sides is similar, Amamiya Ruisei can imagine what he encountered in the Tsushima family over the years. [I don’t know what he paid to make the Tsushima family give up on him.]
But if Shuji was so smart at the age of 10, he must be even smarter at the age of 14. Even if he was alone, he would be able to leave Aomori on his own.
Then there is the information about him when he was 14 years old and followed Mori Ogai into the Port Mafia.
Amemiya Ruisei read through the pages one by one. When the leader died, the power of the Port Mafia was particularly weak. The new leader was extremely busy, and the blockade of intelligence also weakened. After Dazai Osamu's death, his information was dug out by various forces, and the information was so detailed that even the number of hours he slept every day was known.
Not knowing what kind of mentality he had, Amamiya Keisei watched very seriously and paused when he saw Dazai Osamu take the throne at the age of 18.
[System,] Amamiya Keizo spoke, [You said that there are many different developments in parallel worlds. Since there are relatively few worlds where Shuji-kun becomes the leader and dies, what other worlds are there?]
[I don't know much about this. Most people say that Dazai Osamu defected from the Port Mafia when he was 18 years old. There are very few people like the host who took Tsushima Shuji into the Special Power Division so early. I don't know what will happen.]
If the system had a physical body, I would have torn all my hair out by now: [Anyway, it will definitely not turn out like this! Really!]
The system was really scared. It felt like its energy was split into two halves, one half to repair the vest and the other half to repair the main body. If Yu Gong Leisheng got emotional and went into the emergency room, it would cry to death.
Yu Gong Lei Sheng looked somewhat dazed, and smiled softly, saying soothingly: [Don't worry, I'm calm now.]
[I was just thinking about the difference between the two worlds, what made him decide to die, and what supported him to survive.]
He thought slowly: [Since the possibility of the dead world is relatively small, what exactly led him to this point?]
[This must be a very special event that changed Shuji's mind.]
Amamiya Reizo murmured: [If I can avoid it, then I will…]
As he was talking, he suddenly remembered something and asked the system to pull up Tsushima Shuji's personal information.
After scanning the extra [Disqualified from the Human World] in the supernatural power column, Amamiya Keisei looked at the last line of notes, his gaze lingering on the "book" for a very long time.
If Tsushima Shuji were to come into contact with a book, he would...
Amemiya Ruisei was in a trance for a moment. He turned directly to the last page of the information in his hand, which recorded what happened on the day when Dazai Osamu committed suicide by jumping off the building. Finally, his eyes fell on a photo.
What a bloody death scene it was. The young man in the picture was smashed to pieces. If it wasn't for internal information, it would have been covered with layers of mosaics. Amamiya Keizo could only vaguely see half of his face and a slightly blinking iris-colored eye.
He almost instantly remembered the scene he saw when Ango-kun touched the page.
If Ango Sakaguchi could think through one eye that this was the grown-up Shuji Tsushima, why couldn't he?
Amemiya Rei's breathing became rapid, and his hand holding the paper trembled and tightened, causing wrinkles to appear on the clean document. He barely suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart, slowly lowered his head and put his forehead against the paper.
He struggled to force out a call from his throat: "...Shuji-kun."
…
…
"Sir?!" Shuji Tsushima suddenly raised his head and looked at the person lying on the bed. His eyes were full of hesitation and uncertainty. When he found that the other person was still quietly closing his eyes, a sense of loss rose in his eyes.
"Why hasn't he woken up in a week?"
Tsushima Shuji gritted his teeth and couldn't help reaching out to grab his hair: "It's all because of me..."
"It's not your fault," Sakaguchi Ango came in from outside the ward and heard Tsushima Shuji blaming himself again. He couldn't help but sigh, "Didn't the healing psychic we invited say that there's nothing wrong with Mr.'s body? Maybe he's too tired recently and wants to rest for a while."
"Don't worry, Chief Taneda said that before... Mr. Amamiya had been in a coma for a longer time before, but he woke up in the end. He'll be fine."
Sakaguchi Ango comforted him clumsily: "Eat something. You haven't eaten anything in this period of time. If the gentleman wakes up and sees that you have lost several pounds, he will be unhappy."
He put down the lunch box in his hand and looked at Amamiya Ruisei.
The young man had a calm expression with his eyes closed and his breathing was even. If he hadn't been unable to wake up, his face would have been frighteningly pale and he would have looked like he was sleeping.
Tsushima Shuji didn't look at the lunch box, but continued to stare at the young man.
Sakaguchi Ango said dryly, "You really don't want to eat? I... I asked someone to prepare your favorite crab meat. If you don't eat properly, Mr. will be angry."
The boy then turned his eyes away, took the lunch box and stuffed it into his mouth mechanically, looking as if it was chewing wax.
"By the way," Sakaguchi Ango breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that everyone had finally finished eating, "Captain Taneda wants to ask you something. Are you still going to refuse?"
Since the incident a week ago, they and Amamiya Keisei returned to the headquarters in Tokyo, but until today, Tsushima Shuji has refused to respond to matters related to the mission.
Tsushima Shuji lowered his eyes for a long time, then said, "No, I'll go talk to him."
