Yokohama First Reconstruction Division

Bai Mu looked down at his clothes, he didn't pay attention to it just now, but now he suddenly felt that this appearance...is really not good.

Osamu Dazai seemed to want to take off the long-distance running arabesque on his body to cover Shiraki's body, "Let me see it, that's all. Wear it like this...Even a boy must learn to protect himself."

"Could it be that I dressed like this on purpose for you to see?" Bai Mu said to him full of confusion, with subtle mockery of resistance, "I don't wear your clothes, don't take them off, we don't know that well."

Dazai stopped his movements and turned to look at him, his black eyes became deeper, and when he looked at him, it seemed that even time stood still for a moment.

Saying that, Bai Mu regretted it.

Now this place and this timing are not suitable for making things clear.

He should control his emotions.

Maybe meeting Osamu Dazai, an out-of-the-ordinary person here, and his way of appearing is as elusive as ever, which really gave him inexplicable pressure.

But he acted as if he really cared and cared about himself, but what he did clearly conveyed a completely different meaning.

So Shiraki stopped talking, stopped the topic before further intensification, lowered his head and activated the ability to transform the clothes on his body into a set of light and thin underwear, wrapping his body softly in it.

Shiraki walked back to the room just now, Dazai has come, he wants to check all the things related to his childhood again, and destroy them all.

After breaking away from Osamu Dazai's touch, he immediately burned the things he had found.

Including the photos of the pile of white wood that I haven't seen yet.

Dazai stood by the door, watching those photos spontaneously ignite.

Not an illusion.

Looking at Shiraki's indifferent eyebrows, Dazai understood that the "test questions" he threw made Shiraki react very strongly.He didn't really want to monitor Baimu, but the actual direction had shown a trend that he least expected to see.

Looking at the half-dead pervert on the ground, and thinking of the man with unknown cause of death that he saw outside, Dazai roughly guessed eight points of what happened.

Although Bai Mu was decisive in the past, he did not easily get a life on his hands.

The knife is out of its sheath.

No matter what secrets Bai Mu is guarding, if this continues, people who can't sheath their knives can only grab such a sharp blade with their bare hands, and finally cut themselves severely.

...It can't go on like this, Dazai sighed inwardly.

He thought for a while, picked a safe topic, and tried to relax Shiraki's tense nerves, "Although he has recovered his powers, but Xiao Shiraki entered such a dangerous place alone, remember to tell us the armed forces who have undertaken the task Detective agency, if you don’t worry about it.”

"No matter who is worried, you won't be worried. Stop acting, your pretentious appearance is real." Bai Mu walked past him without looking sideways, "You can appear here, I think you are superior."

Dazai shrugged his shoulders and showed a lovable and sincere smile, "It will make me very sad to say so."

When passing by, Dazai smelled the faint green plum fragrance in Shiraki's hair.

Bai Mu's actions often have some reasons that he can't understand, causing deviations in his calculations.In other words, he was really surprised to see Shiraki in the casino.

The current situation... Dazai felt a little bad, and Shiraki seemed unusually angry.

What to do in this situation?

Dazai, who was completely unaware of how bad his behavior was, thought about it seriously.

Whether in the port mafia or in the armed detective agency, Dazai has always had a reliable partner and companion.

...But there are not many people who can really be accepted as friends by him.The only two people who could be regarded as friends, one betrayed his trust, and after the other left, the young man in front of him was left as his last link in the world.

This young man who was protected under the wings of his friends has grown up, but his actions are becoming more dangerous and unpredictable.Dazai is full of curiosity about the person who "maintains the connection". After approaching Shiraki, he takes care of him, partly out of a sense of empathy and responsibility, and partly to pass this boring and boring life and find something interesting to do for himself That's all.

This white wood, whose body was half hidden in the darkness, made him unable to fully see through. There was a sense of struggle that he was very familiar with, and it also made him interested in exploring after a long absence.

But Dazai actually has no self-knowledge in this regard, he is not a man who is particularly good at taking care of other people's emotions.In this field, he is full of bad nature of independent play, and the actual effect presents characteristics completely opposite to expectations.

Referring to his experience with the two partners, Dazai came to the conclusion that he should find an opportunity to have Shiraki hit him twice, and then see the effect after venting his anger.Besides, compared to his two partners, the good news is that Shiraki doesn't hurt when he hits someone.

Dazai's purpose is to find the crux and solve the problem.

Whatever the reason, Shiraki kept his relationship with that person hidden until now, an act that was itself fraught with problems.If there is no unspeakable secret, why have you deliberately concealed it from yourself so far?

And the first thing that attracted Dazai to intervene in the investigation was that he saw the kicked tombstone of Odasaku on the cruise ship.

Shiraki, who had his back to him, was already in the finishing touches, but Dazai was looking at the photos on the ground that were about to burn.

His eyes sank, those casual and somewhat cynical masks settled back to their original appearance with his silence.

In an instant, he made a decision and took out the wallet in his arms.

Except for the printed photos, Bai Mu quickly disposed of all the information about himself in the person's hard drive, and took all additional measures to ensure that the information would not be restored, and then he gave the final judgment to the person on the ground.

Bai Mu said that he would not give this pervert any chance to identify himself.After abolishing the nerves in his hands and feet, his supernatural surgery took away his abnormal five senses.

The person on the ground is still alive, but has lost all consciousness. His eyes are empty and bloodshot, and he has completely lost his vision.

Bai Mu's ending was not careless. A person who can no longer control his hands and feet, after losing his eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and mouth, there is no way to identify himself.

But to his slight surprise, Dazai didn't say a word the whole time, and didn't issue any judgment on his actions.Such conniving silence finally made him feel a little wrong.

He turned around defensively, but saw Dazai sitting cross-legged on the ground, and the last pile of photos had been taken by Dazai at some point to extinguish the flames.

The ashes of the burnt photos were picked up from the ground by the wind as they walked, and fell in all directions like butterflies with wings. Osamu Dazai caught it in his hand.

Dazai was watching with fascination.

Shiraki felt that something was wrong, he walked around the people on the ground who had been deposed by him, walked up to Dazai, and bent over to check.

...it was a photo that he hadn't even seen when he had just checked.

Half of the photo was torn apart, and the edges were scorched by fire, but this did not prevent the other half of the photo from being still clear.

Shiraki, who is one size smaller than now, has a childish immaturity in every gesture, holding a cup of marshmallow ice cream, and showing a very sweet smile to the person in front of him, with a bright light in his black eyes, Let those who see it feel his happiness.

Xiao Shiraki in the photo is looking at the man who handed him the cotton candy ice cream cup, his expression is full of joy, and although the person in the half of the torn photo cannot see his face, Shiraki will never forget this scene, Forget about the person in this memory.

At that time, he was the first in the grade and got a scholarship from the school district. All the money went into his own small coffers. On the way home with him, Oda Saku bought him a box with marshmallows on it. ice cream.

The marshmallow is sweet vanilla flavor, and there are two ice cream balls, one is strawberry flavored and the other is chocolate.Not only the smell, but even the temperature of the wind on the street that day, Bai Mu still remembers it very clearly.

The photo is only half.

But on the glass door behind the young him, there appeared a silhouette of a figure that was blurry but clear enough for Bai Mu to recognize.

That figure was too familiar to the two people looking at this photo.

The blood all over Bai Mu's body became cold.

"When I saw this photo, it was too late to stop the fire." Dazai sighed, his eyes under his black hair flickered in the remaining flames, "...but before being burned, I still saw "

Shiraki opened his eyes in shock, and even forgot the posture of bending over at this time, he was too close to Dazai.Dazai looked at his side face close at hand, and suddenly reached out to brush his face, smoothing his drooping forehead hair behind his ears.

The skin touched by the fingertips was delicate and cold, and Shiraki seemed to break out in a cold sweat, which made Dazai feel pity for a moment, "...he is my friend, so I can't fail to recognize him."

Bai Mu's reaction was huge, he snatched the photo with his hands, and used his supernatural power to shake it into countless dust fragments.

…Then he remembered that when he used the ability to classify just now, he had a rough impression of checking all the photos related to himself, but he hadn't seen Oda Saku in any of them at that time.

Did he remember it wrong, or did Dazai use tricks?But no matter whether it is true or not, his subconscious overreaction just now may have already confirmed all his guesses in Dazai's mind.

Dazai didn't smile, he stood up from the ground following Shiraki's movements, he looked at Shiraki, his tone lowered, with a bit of perplexity, "...Xiao Shiraki, why do you keep hiding it from me? ?”

Shiraki subconsciously took a step back towards the door, but Dazai did not give up.

"What kind of secret are you hiding to make you hide your relationship with my friend at all costs? You know...no matter what you do, I will never hurt you."

Bai Mu thought about this moment, but he didn't expect to be so caught off guard.

Looking at the reflection on the half of the photo, Bai Mu's panicked heart slowly sank within a few breaths.

He even laughed, and lightly stroked the leather fingertip of his left little finger.

Dazai looked at his smile, but slowly frowned, "...Don't be like this, Xiao Shiraki, no matter what misunderstanding there is, we need to have a good talk."
