I who want salted fish became the leader

[Long-term mission: the end of the dragon head war

Plot offset 20%]

Ayatsuji glanced at Hei Ni before saying, "It's finally not three question marks."

He just glanced at him with his eyes, Hei Ni felt a little guilty and flinched inexplicably, he couldn't help laughing a few times, and secretly muttered in his heart that Ayatsuji was getting more and more terrifying, but in just a few months, he seemed to have been completely reborn. The thin figure has gradually become imposing.

As early as that rainy night, Ayatsuji triggered the plot offset because of Kyogoku Natsuhiko, but at that time it was only a string of "???", and now the specific mission information finally emerged, which coincided with Aya Tsuji's guesses echoed each other.

"..."

Today is too long for Yokohama. Even Ayatsuji felt a little exhausted after the visits of Shibusawa Tatsuhiko and others.

He directly chose to go home, unexpectedly, he met Oda Sakunosuke on the way.

The other party had obviously just left work, and the suit on his body had become wrinkled, and a few strands of red hair were curled up wantonly, giving his unusually calm face a hint of youth, although the stubble on his chin still inexplicably dragged down his age , but finally looks like a young man in his early 20s.

Only then did Ayatsuji belatedly recall that Odasaku, as a low-level mafia, should also be busy guiding the citizens of Yokohama, but he was a little surprised that Osamu Dazai was not around him. He thought they would appear together, after all Dazai Ji seldom admits that others are his friends, Odasaku is an exception.

"Boss." Odasaku greeted first.

Ayatsuji gave a "hmm" and said, "It's off-duty time, so you don't need to call me that."

Odasaku subconsciously slowed down and let Ayatsuji walk by his side. He brewed his emotions before uttering the other party's name: "...Katani."

His eyes paused on Ayatsuji for a few seconds, and then he said: "Yokohama is very dangerous recently, the former leader used to bring bodyguards, you always walk alone, I think... Maybe not. Too. Safe, this It's a suggestion."

Ayatsuji smiled: "So, can you directly discuss the leader's private decision after get off work? You are very unusual, Oda."

Odasaku: "..."

Under the setting sun, the silhouettes of the two were drawn very long by the setting sun and dusk, like two black ruts leading to an unknown direction.

"Scared you." Ayatsuji said, he kicked away the stones on the ground casually, stared at the stones rolling away from him, raised his head to look at Oda, and asked, "How is Osamu Dazai recently? Suicide?"

He didn't want his quasi-cadres to have mental problems because of paying attention to other things.

The reason why he is so indifferent in front of Osamu Dazai is not that he is completely uninterested in him, but because Ayatsuji has seen through his character. Osamu Dazai is very good at making progress. He will repeatedly test your bottom line. It is best to use The goodwill of others benefits oneself.

As long as others care about him a little more, Osamu Dazai can find a way to take ten points from him, make the other party's tolerance retreat again and again, and finally become his captive under the control of uncontrollable sensibility, Dazai has a little That's right, Osamu Dazai is indeed a little hyena who is good at plundering resources from others.

And his interest came quickly, and also quickly withdrew.

Osamu Dazai is only curious about mysterious and withdrawn people, so this curiosity has a shelf life. Once he finds that the other party has a good impression of him, he will back away in boredom, and all the curiosity will disappear, as if proving his own charm. He would walk away without interest, without lingering, which, it has to be said, was a bad thing.

Ayatsuji must keep these words in mind if he wants to gain his effectiveness.

Indifference, cold treatment, and conciseness, this is Ayatsuji's attitude towards Osamu Dazai on the surface.

As for the core, no one can say for sure, but Osamu Dazai's supernatural ability [Disqualification in the World] is undoubtedly very special to him. The first time Ayatsuji felt happy was brought by him, even if it was only for a few seconds. I will never forget the feeling of relief.

"If you ask Dazai, the number of times he entered the water has decreased this month." Oda Saku thought for a while and said, "It seems that he hasn't tried to cut his wrists anymore, and he finally finished eating curry rice last time... something like that of."

"Yeah." Ayatsuji's voice was emotionless, he just walked a few more steps and said, "There's more."

Odasaku suggested: "If it was you, Dazai would be willing to tell you why, it is more intuitive to ask him directly."

"..."

Of course he knew this, but Ayatsuji couldn't ask, otherwise Osamu Dazai would notice something.

"That's it." Ayatsuji just said, "Thank you for your hard work. Although you are friends, as far as I am concerned, please take care of Osamu Dazai."

"Ok, I know."

They walked side by side for a distance, then Oda Saku stopped and asked tentatively, "Have you had dinner yet?"

"No." Where's the time, Ayatsuji didn't even eat lunch.

"So...would you like to come to my house for dinner?"

Hearing this, Ayatsuji stopped and cast a strange look at Odasaku.

"It's okay if it's inconvenient." Oda Saku looked back sincerely, and subconsciously explained, "There are more children in the family, and they are all growing up, so they will cook more when preparing dinner. If you don't like it, come have dinner with us."

A trace of curiosity rose from the bottom of Ayatsuji's heart. He didn't know how Odasaku maintained his character. He read the other party's entry information, which had an amazing resume, that is, Odasaku was actually a former killer, but Now he acts like a stay-at-home youth.

No wonder Osamu Dazai would be interested in him, even Ayatsuji would inevitably have such an idea of ​​inquiry, Oda Sakunosuke, a wise man's big killer.

"Excuse me." Ayatsuji nodded.

Unbelievable, he actually went home for dinner with a young man whom he had only met a few times. Ayatsuji would never have thought that such a situation would happen a day ago. I am willing to just go back and see Lan Tang, and let the other party find out the clue, because the other party is too sensitive.

Ayatsuji followed behind this dark red-haired mafia who was so bold that he dared to abduct the current leader of the Hong Kong gangsters. Odasaku led the way and opened the door first. It's even smaller, and it's extra crowded with the five adopted children.

When he found Ayatsuji observing the living room, Odasaku was a little embarrassed: "Sorry, the house is not very tidy."

"I feel good."

Odasaku is really too modest, he has never seen Lan Tang's manor, it is so chaotic that it fits the temperament of a wandering poet.

Saying this, a little boy heard the noise in the living room, opened the door and ran out, looked up to see Oda Tsukuru, and said in a very surprised voice: "You are back, I thought you would not come back tonight, so The rice is a bit overcooked, eh... who is this?"

He looked at Ayatsuji without blinking, his big eyes filled with curiosity.

"Xingsuke, thank you for your hard work." Oda Saku slowed down his voice and introduced, "This is Kazuya Monmi, and he is eating with us tonight."

"Brother Lugu..." Xingsuke subconsciously followed his words, but in the middle of speaking, he remembered what the name meant, and shouted in a boy's unique voice, "What, you actually put the head of Hong Kong Tie home for dinner?!"

Odasaku: "...It's just eating."

"Did you really do nothing wrong?" Xingsuke leaned on Oda Saku, and asked nervously in a low voice, "Otherwise, why would the leader come back with a low-level mafia like you, don't hide it from me , I'm already a man."

Odasaku had to explain to himself again: "I happened to meet on the road, so we made an appointment to come back together."

"...do you think I'm easy to deceive?" Xingjie couldn't help muttering, "I never thought that such a thing would happen, and you just called the leader's name directly."

"..."

Listening to their conversation, Ayatsuji changed his shoes indifferently, then stood up straight and asked, "Do you know me?"

"I... how could I not know each other!" Xingsuke turned his head, his eyes were shining, his eyes seemed to be nailed to Ayatsuji's body, and his tone was full of admiration, "After all, I will join Hong Kong Heroes in the future! You only want to I am a few years older, and I have become the leader, it is really amazing."

"Want to join Gang Hei?" Ayatsuji glanced at him.

Xingsuke is not afraid of strangers at all, he is the oldest child in the family, because of the work of Oda, he never avoids this group of children, so Xingsuke also had an idea day after day, that is, he also wants to join Hong Kong Hei earns money to support his family, and shares some financial pressure for Oda.

"Well, that's right!" Xingjie nodded fiercely, his eyes longing, "I will definitely work hard at that time, maybe I can become a cadre and work for Brother Lugu."

Ayatsuji didn't say a word: "Hmm."

Odasaku reminded: "Xingsuke."

"Oh, yes, I'm going to serve the meal." Xingsuke suddenly remembered this, turned around and ran to the kitchen as lively as a puppy.

Hei Ni: [This is a normal child...]

Its voice actually had a hint of emotion, obviously it had suffered enough from this strange stubble of Ayatsuji.

Seeing his figure disappear behind the door, Oda Saku said apologetically to Ayatsuji: "I'm sorry, because Kosuke didn't restrain himself at home, this kid wrote on his last birthday that he would join Hong Kong Hei, I hope Don't pay attention to what he said."

"It's okay." Ayatsuji said lightly, "He's cute."

Although Ayatsuji doesn’t know what’s good about Hong Kong gangsters, but for families with income difficulties, the daily life of the bottom-level Hong Kong gangsters is a bit dangerous, but the income is not cheap, otherwise Odasaku wouldn’t be able to afford it With five children, Ayatsuji basically does not comment on other people's choices. As far as he is concerned, it is understandable that Kosuke wants to join.

I don't know how Odasaku understood his words, but obviously his shoulders relaxed, not as restrained as before.

He opened the door with Ayatsuji who had changed his shoes, revealing the whole picture of the room. There were four other children sitting on the tatami, three of them were boys, and only one was a girl. They were all under ten years old. They were happy He yelled "Oda Zuo", and the childish and clear voices followed one after another.

In a daze, Ayatsuji thought that he had returned to the days long ago...that kind of normal life.

His mother made dinner, and the whole house was filled with the smell of food. His father was sitting on the sofa watching TV. The protagonists in the film and television dramas quarreled over trivial matters, and he picked up the books on the table. , I went up the stairs and turned on the desk lamp to do my homework.

The moths hit the light source again and again, casting shadows of wings on his homework. He put down the pen, held the moths with his hands, walked all the way to the window and pushed them away, and then let them fly out. Close the window in the evening wind of the day, and the street lights outside the window are connected into a line in the darkness, like stars falling into the world.

It was a few years ago, and Ayatsuji was surprised that he could remember such an ordinary night so clearly.

His brief distraction stopped when Odasaku gently asked him to sit down: "Choose a seat, we can eat right away."

"Sit next to me." The only little girl said with bright eyes, "You are so beautiful, you are the most beautiful brother I have ever seen."

He Xingsuke and the others are completely different types, so she couldn't take her eyes away when she saw it, as if she was astonished when she saw a shiny gem.

After all, she pushed away the boys around in disgust, and made room for Ayatsuji, just opposite to Oda Tsukuru, and then she looked at Ayatsuji expectantly: "Promise me, okay? Saki Le wants to sit with my brother."

She obviously doesn't care as much about gangsters as Xingsuke, and she doesn't know what Ayatsuji's true identity means in Yokohama, so she is so bold.

Odasaku wanted to stop subconsciously, but unexpectedly, Ayatsuji said before him: "Yes."

Then he walked up to Sakule and sat down, the little girl's eyes briefly stayed on Misaki Naruto in his arms for a few seconds, Odasaku thought she would say that the dolls are beautiful, after all, they are all little girls The focus of her attention, but she didn't expect her eyes to fall on Ayatsuji again.

In the eyes of Saku Le, who controls the face, Ayatsuji is obviously a hundred times more beautiful than the doll he is holding in his hand, and of course his attention will be diverted.

"Her name is Misaki Naruto." Mistaking her to ask for his opinion, Ayatsuji looked down at the puppet and said, "I like her very much."

"No," Saku Le said innocently, focusing on Ayatsuji all the time, "I actually wanted to ask your name, because you are more beautiful."

Ayatsuji: "..."

Although people often stare at him on the road, Ayatsuji knows that his appearance is probably a little better than ordinary people, but this is the first time someone describes him as beautiful, which makes him feel a little subtle, because most people Don't comment on his looks.

pretty?Ayatsuji was silent on this assessment.

Even Hei Ni couldn't stand it anymore, and said: [Do you have any misunderstanding about your appearance...]

But when she finished speaking, the door was opened again. Xingsuke, who came over with a meal, happened to hear this sentence, and immediately showed a frightened expression: "...what are you talking about, how can you say such an offense to the leader if??"

"You don't need to call me that." Ayatsuji said, and glanced at Odasaku, "You can just call me Kakuya."

"Oh!" Xingsuke quickly changed his face, put the curry in his hand in front of Ayatsuji first, and said happily, "Okay, you eat this first."

Regarding his double standard, the children didn't have any objections, and Oda Tsukuru didn't even have any objections. They just excitedly asked around Ayatsuji, even if Oda Tsukuru stopped him once. Fortunately, Ayatsuji No sign of anger, just occasionally answering some non-private questions.

During the meal, Oda Saku found that Ayatsuji's tutor was very good, he would never speak during the meal, and the dining etiquette was not bad, and the children Oda Saku had seen basically did not mix in the other world, This made him feel a little bit emotional about Ayatsuji's fate.

But there is no need to explore, Oda Saku is not a character who likes to get to the bottom of it.

Ayatsuji swallowed another mouthful of curry rice, the spiciness made his throat a little sore. In fact, he is not very good at eating spicy food, and he prefers desserts and the like, but this long-lost stimulation made him feel A little sweat, so I feel much better, so it's not a bad thing.

"Is it very spicy?" Odasaku asked worriedly.

Ayatsuji took the tissue and wiped away the tears that rolled out of his eyes at some point: "...well, a little."

Odasaku originally wanted to ask him if he needed a little vinegar to adjust the taste, but all the words stopped when he saw the traces of the paper towel deepened and faded quickly. After a pause, he quietly handed over another tissue.

After the meal, Ayatsuji did not stay long, he bid farewell to Oda, and also rejected the other party's offer to let him go home.

"Last time you said in the restaurant where the chief had an accident...you need my help." Oda Saku said, "What is it?"

Ayatsuji's nose was a little red, and he said sullenly: "I will tell you when I need it."

Odasaku watched him leave.

……

……

Lantang was not at home, but Nakaya and Ranpo had already returned. Ayatsuji was not interested in talking for the time being, so after a brief explanation, he said good night to them, because he was going to sleep, although he heard him Chuya, who said good night, had a slightly shocked expression on his face, but he still didn't say anything.

Because it's only nine o'clock at night.

This work and rest time is really too...

Chuya watched Ayatsuji's back disappear at the corner of the stairs with a complicated expression, but this has an advantage, that is, there will be no troubles for them to get up in the middle of the night for business trips, because the leader goes to bed earlier than them, and he can be called a contemporary teenager A model of regular work and rest.

Seeing that Ranpo returned to his room after Ayatsuji left, Nakaya drank the glass of milk in his hand with some hesitation. He originally wanted to talk to Ayatsuji, but the other party seemed really tired today. So he thought about it and went back to his room.

let's talk tomorrow.

Ayatsuji took a shower and changed into pajamas, lifted the sheets and got in with Misaki Naruto, then turned off the light directly, and quickly fell asleep.

He is very tired today.

Generally speaking, he should wake up and open his eyes, and find that the curtains reveal the twilight of the morning sun, but unexpectedly, when he suddenly woke up, he found that the room was still dark, and the electronic alarm clock on the bedside table The displayed time is 3:00 midnight.

Ayatsuji will not wake up for no reason, it must be his intuition warning him that something has happened, his vigilance is very strong, so the quality of sleep is not good, a slight movement can wake him up, and now it means someone broke into his room without permission.

"..."

So he narrowed his eyes and quickly adapted to the darkness, only to realize that there was a figure standing silently in front of the bed at some point. Ayatsuji immediately put his hand on the lamp button, but the other party stretched out his hand and used a An astonishing force that almost crushed his bones squeezed Ayatsuji's wrist.

Ayatsuji snorted, and a familiar voice sounded above his head: "It's me."

"..."

However, under severe pain, Ayatsuji forcibly turned on the button of the desk lamp, which instantly illuminated the scene in front of the bed, revealing Verlaine's tall and thin figure in a suit.

"So you just don't like to be obedient." Verlaine's tone was a little helpless, and there were some signs of vague anger, "There are some irrelevant people in this manor, do you want them to know that I appear in your room? ? I don't have any opinion, I'm just doing it for your own good."

And Ayatsuji just shook off the hand that was holding her with a blank face, and moved the pinched and swollen wrist.

"Why are you here at this hour?"

"You're very busy during the day, aren't you? Now you're losing your temper and don't welcome me." Verlaine sat beside Ayatsuji's bed, and a part of the soft bed was immediately dented, "After I heard the news from Lan Tang , I quickly put down everything in my hand and came to you, saying thank you doesn't seem to be too difficult for you."

He roughly picked up the desk lamp that Ayatsuji put on the bedside table, and the small ornaments on the cabinet were knocked down by the wires, making a series of crackling sounds, and he simply placed it in front of Ayatsuji, making the originally hazy The light directly illuminated the latter's face, and Ayatsuji was dazzled into his eyes, and subconsciously blocked it.

Noticing his movements, Verlaine did not remove a bit of the desk lamp, but observed Ayatsuji's expression through the light.

"Although you are not hurt, you are unhappy."

"Do I have a reason to be happy?" Ayatsuji said, turned on the lamp with his hand, and asked annoyedly, "Where did Lan Tang go?"

"You care more about him than me." Verlaine smiled without emotion.

"Let me ask you, where did Lantang go." Ayatsuji said each word, his scarlet eyes were extremely cold, "Verlaine, don't play tricks on me."

"Don't worry," Verlaine stretched out his hand to touch Ayatsuji's face, then withdrew his hand and said indifferently, "I won't do anything to him, after all, he just took over part of my tasks as a partner. Didn’t you also find out the conspiracy, you are also aware of this part.”

"So you know, the inheritance thing."

Ayatsuji would not think that Verlaine was really worried about him as he said, and rushed over because he had received the news.

"Yeah, you really know me." Verlaine said with a slight smile, "but you're going to take the money, right? That's why I'm not here."

"..."

"I'm here to apologize to you, because the crown puppeteer who promised you to meet before may not take over this business. There is no way, the other party belongs to the clock tower after all, and now there is an incident with the chief, so We are in a hostile relationship now." Verlaine regretted, "I'm sorry, my dear, this matter cannot be successful."

"You're lying." Ayatsuji said coldly.

The woman Canozaki Orange would not give up a valuable business because of the clock tower. It seems that the subspecies Holy Grail War is real, and it is very likely that Ayatsuji is on the list of masters, so Verlaine Only then did he raise his guard again.

"But what I said is the truth." Verlaine's words revealed a faint desire for control, but his movements were still so gentle and polite. He helped Ayatsuji to straighten the broken hair on his forehead.

"But I bought a lot of new dolls for you. You will like them. I put them all in the basement when you and Oda were having dinner. Do you want to see them? This is I collect it from all over the world, and it's not too much trouble just thinking you'll like it."

The basement is indeed full of puppets that many collectors would marvel at, some with even bloodier origins, but Verlaine won't tell Ayatsuji that part.

Ayatsuji narrowed his eyes: "I just want to see Naruto Saki, do you really or falsely don't understand."

He showed a cold murderous intent. Verlaine hid his criminal case well, but it was not completely untraceable. [Twisted Devil's Eye] as a trump card, there is an [-]% possibility of solving Verlaine. If it wasn't for him It needs the French side to contain other countries, and it has already done so.

"Pfft."

Verlaine smiled, knowing the times, he just let it go, not wanting to offend Ayatsuji.

He leaned over and picked up the suitcase from the bed, opened it under Ayatsuji's eyes, revealing the whole picture inside the box: "Here are the eyeballs I collected and Misaki Naruto's little skirt, don't be angry, Misaki Oranges are not safe for you."

Contrary to what Ayatsuji thought, Verlaine did rush to Yokohama for him, but he was confident that Ayatsuji belonged to the seven traitors, so the money fell into the hands of the seven traitors, even if Ayatsuji used it on Hong Kong gangsters. He is the leader of Hong Kong gangsters, and it is enough for the French side.

Ayatsuji: "..."

knock knock.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Verlaine looked over immediately, and Ayatsuji could feel the undisguised killing intent coming from him, stabbing straight at the uninvited guest outside the door.

It was Osamu Dazai's voice, and he said briskly, "Can I come in, Ayatsuji?"
