Complete Survival Manual

The staff dormitory is not too far from the Armed Detective Agency, and it only takes about ten minutes to walk there.If you take the shortest distance, the time can be even shorter.

"Although this road is shorter in terms of distance, I still prefer the road where I can see cherry blossoms in spring."

Walking in the alleyway paved with bluestone bricks, Osamu Dazai said to Tsushima without beginning or end.

He was talking about a riverside avenue planted with cherry blossom trees. In spring, the branches of the flowering trees are pink or light. At a glance, even the street looks like a layer of pink clouds.If the wind blows, the petals will fall into the water, and the entire Tsurumi River will turn into a cherry-colored river.

Cherry blossoms are always endowed with too many different things in the eyes of the Japanese, so that road is always extremely lively in spring, and when the flowers are in full bloom, there are always people who linger on that avenue.

Tsushima thought about it and agreed with Osamu Dazai's point of view.

"Let's go and see together next time."

"It's still a long time until spring." Osamu Dazai complained half-truthfully, "If I'm lucky and successfully achieve the ending I expected before the next spring, I won't see the cherry blossoms." He sighed, "What a pity."

The shortcut they took had to go through an alley, the alley was extremely narrow, and the space left by the crowded walls was only enough for two people to walk side by side. mark.After lightly jumping over a few bricks scattered randomly on the ground, he noticed that the people following him had disappeared.

Tsushima: "They're gone."

"Wander around in the alleys without shelter, and the chance of being discovered is almost [-]%." ​​Dazai Osamu said, "Compared with being discovered, of course, before chasing into the alley, leave in time with the information you have so far Better. You made a good choice, new people in charge of tracking."

The subtle malice leaked out and was taken back by its owner in time. Tsushima didn't realize it, and just asked, "The port mafia?"

"It's the person who transferred from Black Lizard to Chuya's subordinates two days ago. I just saw the photos. If they can bring back the news of your appearance in Yokohama for the Mafia this time, they must be able to add a lot to their resume merit."

Of course, it wasn't a whim that they would take the trail. In fact, it was the scene of the harbor mafia's work last night.

The quiet alley, which is only a few meters away from the main road with people coming and going, seems to be peaceful, but after careful observation, you can find brown splash-like traces in inconspicuous places.There are many potholes in the corners, and if you look carefully, you may find some metal bullet casings in the corners that the logistics staff have not cleaned.

Everything points to an intense shootout here.

"The traces are still very fresh. According to the usual practice, all Hong Kong gangsters have not been evacuated yet." Osamu Dazai glanced at the bullet marks and said, "There are always some systems in the underworld that cannot be changed, such as the work of cleaning up troops to remove traces, although it is boring. , but because the content of their work is related to the mental health of ordinary people, so there is no change year after year. Just send the information about your return to Mr. Mori according to the cleaning time, and the gangsters should be with the detective soon We have contacted the agency." He rolled his eyes, "Oh, maybe it will be a tripartite meeting in the end!"

The matter related to the book is enough for the three forces in Yokohama to sit at the same negotiating table and live in peace.

"You count me as a member of the detective agency, Dazai."

"Hey—isn't it?" Dazai Osamu softened his voice and said with a smile: "No matter what, you will stand by my side, right?"

Tsushima also laughed, "It's really cunning, Dazai. After Mr. Mori received the news that I appeared with you, even if I said that I was not part of the detective agency, Mr. Mori would probably take some effort to estimate the truth."

Osamu Dazai: "That's it." He said, "But if you disagree, you wouldn't have said you would go to the detective agency with me to meet the president in the first place. So this is actually a choice you made."

As for whether Tsushima took the initiative to choose the detective agency first, or Dazai Osamu first pulled Tsushima to the detective agency camp, the debate itself is meaningless.

They will always compete with each other in very subtle places, such as the ownership of the bed, and today's contention for the initiative that is not nutritious.

The short alley soon came to an end, and they put away their childish arguments together.

Tsushima stopped in his tracks and said to Dazai, "When this matter is over, I will go to a shop I know and order two sets of kimonos suitable for viewing cherry blossoms in spring."

Osamu Dazai looked at Tsushima in surprise, and Tsushima smiled, "If you want to see cherry blossoms, try your best to live until next spring."

"...That's too much, Tsushima."

"Please stay alive, Dazai." Tsushima walked out of the alley, "This is an agreement that you can choose to keep or not to keep."

[If you choose to go with me...at that time, I should have something to say to you. ]

The sound of vehicles passing by almost covered what Tsushima said afterwards, and Osamu Dazai remained silent for the rest of the journey.His silence is not common, and most of the time he is more used to facing others in a slightly detached way.

But now, he has to treat this agreement that is not easy for him to be cautious.

[Do you try to survive in the world? ]

[Is there anything else to look forward to here?Is it Odasaku's wish, or...]

[Or Tsushima itself? ]

When the familiar red brick building was in sight, Osamu Dazai finally said, "Tsushima, I can't make any guarantees to you."

Osamu Dazai's face was covered with a smile mask that could not reveal specific emotions, and he paused for a while after saying this.Many customers in the whirlpool coffee shop on the first floor cast their gazes on them, obviously standing here motionless has attracted a considerable degree of attention.

Tsushima knew that Osamu Dazai hadn't finished speaking, so he quietly waited for Dazai's next words.

"But from now on, I've begun to look forward to the style of the kimono." Compared with talking to others, Osamu Dazai's light voice was more like muttering to himself.But his gaze was serious, and Tsushima effortlessly felt that Osamu Dazai attached great importance to the "promise" between them.

Tsushima smiled.

"Then... make an appointment."

[At this moment, I am looking forward to the arrival of spring in the hot summer. ]

……

On the surface, Armed Detective Agency is really an ordinary detective agency.

"Hi, about your cat that got lost in the street yesterday..."

"I'm sorry, our agency is temporarily not accepting commissions related to romance... Yes, I can transfer you to Uemura Detective Agency."

"What kind of commission do you want to send... a love letter to Mr. Dazai? Please do not fill in the address of your letter! Ah, it has already been sent, so there is nothing you can do... Don't cry!!"

The detective agency was busy, the operators were speaking fast and answering calls, and the clerks shuttled through the narrow aisles formed by the work, sending stacks of documents to where they should be.

Because of the overall operation to rescue Atsushi Nakajima a few days ago, there was a huge backlog of work in the detective agency.The scouts pushed off the fieldwork until the afternoon, when they were sitting in their own seats, struggling with work.

Kunikida Doppo's hand typing on the keyboard was so fast that afterimages could be seen, he threw a report on the next table in his busy schedule, and quickly said: "Dazai, your report from the previous week needs to be rewritten. What? Called 'I saw a tree branch suitable for hanging on the road, so I couldn't help but try the hanging health method to treat the painful cervical spine, and finally discovered the conspiracy of the gangster by accident' Ah! Completely - unqualified!"

Atsushi Nakajima held blank manuscript paper that was a lot higher than his head and distributed it around. Izumi Kyoka carried a basket beside him and was responsible for distributing other office supplies that needed to be replenished urgently. The person who received the office supplies nodded to them, Say "Thanks" or "It was a great help" and get back to work.

When he walked to Osamu Dazai's table, Atsushi Nakajima first put down the things in his hands, and then reminded: "Well, Mr. Kunikida, Mr. Dazai hasn't come yet..."

Kunikida Doppo accidentally pressed the delete key, and the long document characters disappeared quickly.He took a deep breath, let go of his fingers and turned around suddenly, "That bastard Dazai——!!!"

Atsushi Nakajima minimized his presence, and didn't want to face Kunikida Doppo's anger head-on.At this time, the door of the detective agency opened.

"Hey, hey, Kunikida-kun, I heard your voice right outside the door. It's really loud." The one who opened the door was Osamu Dazai who came by coincidence. He waved his power and said hello, "Good morning, everyone."

When the person involved suddenly appeared, Kunikida Doppo's anger was stuck in half, and he had the illusion of being heartbroken.

"Kunikida-kun?" Dazai Osamu pretended to be surprised, "What's the matter? Kunikida-kun looks very bad, do you need Dr. Yosano to look at it for you?"

Kunikida Doppo took another deep breath.

With Osamu Dazai, the ability to self-regulate is really important.Kunikida Doppo's character is definitely not bad in the workplace, but during the period of partnering with Osamu Dazai, he doubted countless times whether it was his own problem or other reasons. In recent years, he has become more angry than in previous years. The sum is even more.

After several times of exploration, Kunikida Doppo also has his own set of principles (note: only applicable to Dazai).That is, when Osamu Dazai deliberately made him angry, he must try his best to restore his calm mind.

After barely calming down for a few minutes, he said: "Bastard bandages are wasting the device, your work is already piled up with me, since you have come to work, give me a good job! Today is much late, and you have to make up the progress later." OK."

"Hey, although the previous me couldn't refute it, it's not because of me that I'm late today." Osamu Dazai shook his head and moved aside, only then did everyone see that there was another person behind him.

"Don't push it to me, Dazai." Wearing a white windbreaker, Tsushima walked into the detective agency, showing the same smile as Dazai Osamu to everyone in the silence, and said, "I'm Tsushima, glad to meet you." you."

The author has something to say: The reactions of everyone in the detective agency will be left in the next chapter.

Regarding Tsushima and Dazai's promise - when spring comes, I want to go see the cherry blossoms with you.

this!I wish I could be there! (Crying out a cry of longing.jpg)
