Yokohama First Reconstruction Division

After Akutagawa Ryunosuke blurted out these words, the room fell into an eerie silence.

Dazai, who was wearing a yukata, lifted up his dried black briefs, looked at them several times, and said in amazement, "...Akutagawa, why do you say they are floral pants?"

Thinking of the cause and effect, Bai Mu looked away with a guilty conscience.

In the final analysis, it was because he casually fell in love with Akutagawa, but he never thought that a pair of Osamu Dazai's colorful underpants could leave such an indelible wound in Akutagawa's heart.

"Cough," Bai Mu felt that it was best not to wear clothes on this matter, "Can you put on your clothes? I really don't have any interest in your body."

Dazai stood up with his clothes in his arms in frustration, and went to find a place where there was no one to change.

When he came out, Akutagawa, who had been limped by the fool, had already escaped. Shiraki changed into a student uniform and began to pack his schoolbag.

"Are you going to class now?" Dazai asked casually, "You are really stubborn, your health was so bad yesterday, and you can push yourself so hard as soon as you take a breath."

"...I think you misunderstood something." After putting on the suit, Bai Mu's appearance was completely new, and even the temperature of his speech at this time was a few degrees cooler than before. Because of how well I know you, not because I want to have any relationship with you."

"It's just that I've been unwell recently, so I don't have the energy to tear up with you." After putting on his clothes, Shiraki, who buttoned his shirt to the top, looks indifferent and ascetic, like a delicate pale doll, " I thank you for covering my whereabouts under the search of Hong Kong gangsters yesterday, this is a favor I owe you, if it is useful in the future, you can call me."

Dazai, who had returned to his usual attire, stood there lazily, with a glimmer of light streaming from his lazy iris-colored eyes, which was probably the physiological tears that appeared when he was sleepy, "You are so ruthless, Xiao Shiraki."

"Although I still don't understand why you deliberately made Akutagawa misunderstand our relationship like that in the morning, but I hope this kind of thing will not happen again in the future. I will be troubled by it."

Sure enough, Dazai yawned again, "Huh... I see. Xiao Shiraki, I want to try your cooking, can I come to see you for dinner these two days?"

Looking at the man in front of him who didn't listen at all, Bai Mu closed the curtains and sighed, "I don't welcome any uninvited guests in this house, so I dare to come in like this next time... Tired."

Tired with disheveled hair was finally rescued from being rolled, he opened the door and ran out in small steps.

"Tired, if he dares to enter the door without my consent, just cut off one of his hands, and I will be the one to die." Bai Mu was very ruthless, "You probably don't know, I see you now...you know how much I miss you hit you?"

Tired and nimble, he jumped onto Shiraki's table, looked at him at the same level, and remembered Dazai's appearance with indifferent eyes: "Okay."

Dazai's sleepy eyes turned to Shiraki, "I said... I won't hurt you, and you know this in your heart, so you trust me, don't you?"

"Then tell me one thing." Shiraki, who was tidying up the edge of the little finger ring, looked cold, "Why did you leave the Port Mafia in the first place?"

A half-yawned yawn froze on Dazai's face, "...you are too perceptive."

"The things that have happened to me recently are very dense. I should have sorted out and analyzed useful information faster." Bai Mu knew that it was because of his poor physical condition that slowed down his speed, "Think carefully about Mr. Sen I will go to Bodo to block me in person. In fact, this action has no extreme meaning, but I can interpret it aggressively. Is he a little bit impatient and insists on confirming something personally... If what he said is true , he has been paying attention to me for a long time, so I reasonably suspect that he started paying attention to me earlier than the time he gave. Because it is true during the period from when I was ten years old to when I came out to earn a living alone Very, very, low-key."

"You've worked hard these years." Dazai put away the carelessness in his body, and his voice was not loud, but it could touch people's hearts.

For a second, Bai Mu was actually stunned, but he quickly frowned his pretty brows, and strained his indifferent face, "Although I don't know what you are hiding from me... But, in this world, there is no People can protect another person, the harder they try to protect, the more painful it will be when they lose it, so don't try to protect me."

"...I know." Dazai's expression slowly disappeared, "The reason why he is still struggling in this world is that he still has hope in his heart, and wants to see if that faint hope will really one day emerge from time. Come out...you are the same, don't say any more, I understand."

Bai Mu lowered his head, he was suddenly a little sad.He wasn't afraid that Dazai would ask him aggressively, what he was afraid of was that Dazai would not ask anything.

Don't ask, it means that he has already started thinking, and he has already taken corresponding investigations.

Or maybe... Dazai already knew some key information, but did nothing, quietly respecting his wishes, the thoughtfulness conveyed behind this choice will only make Shiraki more sad.

"You," Dazai's voice sounded like a sigh, and the bottom of his beige windbreaker swayed, gradually moving away from his position, "I'm leaving now, Shiraki...you take good care of yourself."

After hearing the door close, the expression on Bai Mu's face finally faded.He stopped arranging the books and slowly sat down on the chair by the table.

Tired and close to him, "Bai Mu, I think you actually... don't want him to go that much."

"Ever since...he was gone, I have never met such a person." Bai Mu supported his forehead, "...the words were only half spoken, not only understood what I meant, but also keenly noticed To the point where I don't even have a clear idea. This kind of person is really scary."

Tired didn't want Bai Mu to go out, and hugged Shiraki's arm like a koala, "If he comes next time, I'll drive him away."

Bai Mu grabbed his tired hand, "It's up to you for the next two weeks or so. I can't use my abilities. When I'm at home, I need you to protect me."

"Then don't go out, it's dangerous outside."

"No." Bai Mu showed a bit embarrassed look, "It counts as attendance, I missed several classes this semester, if I don't go, I will lose my grades, this is the real danger."

tired:"……"

In the end, he still failed to convince Bai Mu, and in order to catch up with the afternoon class, Bai Mu hurried out.

But as soon as he went out, he found Yin with fluttering long hair waiting for him at the door.

Bai Mu was more patient than usual when dealing with girls, "Silver, what's the matter?"

Silver lowered his head shyly, holding up the math book and notebook in his hand.

Knowing that Shiraki was in a hurry, Yin and Shiraki took the subway to school together. Along the way, the two of them communicated silently by solving problems in their notebooks.

When he reached the school gate, Yin Zai saw him enter the school with his own eyes before turning around and leaving.

But Bai Mu soon discovered that his social density in this short day exceeded the standard in the previous month.

When school was over, there was another familiar face waiting outside—Atsushi Nakajima from the Armed Detective Agency.

After get off work, the human-tiger boy came to his school to look for him because he was concerned about Bai Mu's body.

Baimu is closer to Dun than others. A few days ago, Baimu was admitted to the hospital with a high fever, and Dun stayed with him all night. In the end, he sneaked out of the hospital without even saying hello. Sorry.

He invited Dun to a small restaurant with good taste near the school. Dun had a good appetite and tried to pretend that he was full, not wanting him to spend too much money, but Shiraki saw it right away, but Meizi chazuke immediately added seven for him. Eight bowls, Dun finally let go of eating with peace of mind, this is enough.

Dun personally sent him back home, and watched him walk into the house before parting.At this time, it was already the climax of the moon, Bai Mu opened the door, and there was a little white spider at home happily welcoming him home.

But when he went to school by himself the next day, he unexpectedly found a cold neighbor outside who claimed to be passing by, but was actually going to send him to school, Bai Mu finally determined that there was something wrong with all of this.

He started to be escorted to and from school all the time, all the threads were threaded together, and everything pointed to Osamu Dazai.

Although he hasn't seen any special abilities of the neighbor Xiaoyin's sister, but she must be able to be assigned by Dazai.

Bai Mu sighed silently, and finally didn't ask anything.

Akutagawa ruthlessly accompanied him on the subway. This awkward silence even made Shiraki take the initiative to bring up the junior high school physics that he came to ask for advice last time but failed. It took him about 10 minutes on the way to sort out the logical framework for him.

After watching Shiraki safely arrive at the school, Akutagawa finally left and started a normal day of work.

Dazai has fully grasped Shiraki's class hours and travel habits, and behind this proper arrangement is an inference—no matter what Dazai is hiding from him, it is not simple, and he himself cannot be careless.

On campus, Bai Mu also pays special attention to his own safety, never being alone, and has always been active in places where there are people.

When it was close to school, Bai Mu was thinking about who would pick him up tonight.

He guessed it might be Tun, or an acquaintance from the Armed Detective Agency.It is even possible that Osamu Dazai, who hadn't appeared in front of him for many days, would say hello with a playful smile like before, and then flip the previous story lightly.

But he guessed wrong.

When he walked out of the school, he did not expect that the owner of the luxury car parked at the door would be Chuya Zhongyuan.Zhong also seemed to have something on his mind, leaning back against his own car, staring at the ground with a gloomy expression.

Chuya's charisma and good looks are outstanding, which is rare among students, and many students are secretly looking at him.

But Bai Mu could see that Zhong also probably didn't sleep well last night.But to be honest, he doesn't really want to see Chuya very much now, he can't fool Chuya in the way of fooling Akutagawa, there are always some things that can't be avoided between them.

He is not ready yet how to talk to Chuya.

Naka also didn't seem to see him yet, Shiraki was about to try to sneak around when he heard a suppressed and excited shout behind him, "Nasu-san!"

Zhong also raised his head when he heard the sound.

Bai Mu looked back at the male classmate from the same department who called him to stop him, and when he was still holding a bouquet of roses, he couldn't help sighing.
