Living in Yokohama

Lupine Bar.

Osamu Dazai walked down the stairs humming a little tune he composed himself, at this time there was already one person sitting in the small bar.

"Hey Odasaku," Osamu Dazai skillfully sat beside Odasaku, propped his head up to look at him, "it's really rare to come here in broad daylight, what's the good thing?"

Oda Sakunosuke raised his head slightly, and said "Ah" very calmly: "The manuscript I submitted before received a reply... That's why I came here. And you, have you escaped from the detective agency again?"

"No, I'm still working now," Osamu Dazai smiled and shook his index finger, then turned to the bar, "Boss, it's the same as before."

"Please wait a moment." After nodding to show that he remembered, the boss shook his head complainingly, "Obviously my place doesn't open until seven o'clock, you guys, don't drink too much during the day?"

"Yes——" Dazai Osamu dragged his voice lazily, raised his wine glass and poked the ice puck inside, and complained half-truthfully, "But the last time we met, Oda Saku said he hadn't started writing yet, but Have you received the news so soon? Which publishing house is it?"

Oda Sakunosuke reported a name, Dazai Osamu thought for a while, his eyes lit up: "Which family? It's very powerful, Oda Saku!"

"Well, the manuscript fee is also very good, and I can buy the toys that Kosuke wanted before." A little smile appeared on Oda Sakunosuke's face, "And you, what work do you have today?"

"Suppressing the robbers who robbed the bank, I suddenly wanted a glass of wine on the way to the scene, so I came here." Osamu Dazai put down his glass and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Bandits?...Ah, I have heard that recently there was an unidentified armed group of hundreds of people. Is it them?"

He flicked the wall of the cup lightly: "That's right, I don't know where it came from, I don't know where I got the weapon, and I can't find any information about these guys at all. It's like someone who got out of a crack in the rock."

"If you say that, it's really amazing... What's the result?" Oda Sakunosuke asked sideways.

"It should be resolved soon, at this time." Osamu Dazai raised his head as if feeling something, and then put on an excited face, "By the way, did I tell you, Odasaku, [cat] Miss is also working at the detective agency!"

"Miss [Cat]...?" After pondering for a while, Oda Sakunosuke found this memory from his memory.

-

As the bottom of the port mafia, with no background, Oda Sakunosuke is often sent to do trivial and easily offending things that others are unwilling to do.

One day, after dealing with the trouble of ingredients from one store in the port mafia forces appearing in another store, Oda Sakunosuke went to Lupin Bar to relax as usual.

Only Osamu Dazai was there, and the boy in a black suit was lying on the table, listlessly rolling the ice puck in the cup.

Although the young mafia cadre often had such a listless look when he was alone, Oda Sakunosuke was keenly aware of a difference.

"I'm not very energetic, what happened?" Oda Sakunosuke put the windbreaker aside, and motioned for the boss to serve the wine.

"Ah, I was ridiculed by Mr. Mori." Osamu Dazai puffed up his face childishly, "Because Miss [Cat] ran away again."

At this time, the cat next to him jumped away.

"Miss [Cat]?" The unfamiliar term made Oda Sakunosuke a little confused, "Is this a new mission?"

"That's right, it's a small and strange [cat]." Osamu Dazai breathed a sigh of relief, "But it's very valuable, so Mr. Mori said please catch her no matter what."

"Very valuable?" Oda Sakunosuke blinked, recalling, "Recently, I also heard something...the mafia will soon have a large amount of money flowing into it."

"Well, that's enough funds to support the operation of the port mafia for three years." Osamu Dazai still looked uninspired, "But Miss [Cat] is very good at slipping~ This time she escaped from the gutter behind the warehouse, obviously The door there could last for another year or two, but it broke suddenly."

"Break it, there is no way, then?"

"Then I ran away, I can run away from strange places every time, super strange Miss [Cat]." Although he complained, there was some strange light in Osamu Dazai's eyes.

"If you can say that, it seems that you really ran away from a strange place." Oda Sakunosuke looked back and took a sip of the cold wine.

Osamu Dazai sat up and cheered up a little: "It's just me, what about you, Odasaku? What kind of job did you get recently?"

Thinking of the work just now, Oda Sakunosuke sighed in a rare way: "There was a dispute between two stores in the commercial street where we paid the protection fee, because one of the precious ingredients specially brought in appeared in the other store."

"Oh!" Osamu Dazai was very interested, "And then and then!"

"After trying to find a way to investigate, I found out that it was a prank by the stray cats nearby. After scolding the stray cats, it was over." Oda Sakunosuke explained very plainly, but such dry narration also made Osamu Dazai's eyes lights up.

As if resonating, Osamu Dazai murmured in a deep voice: "So [the cat] is really troublesome. If you can't catch it again, you will definitely be laughed at by that little man."

"Well... if it's you, you can catch it soon." Oda Sakunosuke explained what he thought was the truth.

"Sure enough, you will say that." Osamu Dazai laughed out loud, and he stretched out his index finger, "But I have been catching Miss [Cat] for a month."

"...One month?" This time surprised Oda Sakunosuke.

Osamu Dazai.

The youngest cadre of the Port Mafia, was evaluated by the Port Mafia: The saddest thing for an enemy of Dazai is to be an enemy of Dazai.

Knowing what Osamu Dazai has done, even the port mafia will tremble.

Anyone can be seen through at a glance, and no trap can be hidden from him. Osamu Dazai is such a smart and sensitive person.

If Osamu Dazai hadn't said it himself, even his enemies would have found it hard to believe that there were still humans in this world who could escape his pursuit for a month.

Oda Sakunosuke asked, "Miss [cat], is it human?"

"...Huh?" Osamu Dazai turned his head, as if he saw something amazing, he rolled his eyes with a smile, "That's really a good question!...Maybe it's a ghost that really came out of nowhere Oh, because not even the Port Mafia intelligence department can find anything about her."

"—Human beings are creatures that produce certain traces as long as they live. Even the rats in the sewers can be traced to the source with a little bit of method... But Miss [Cat] is completely different, like Like a ghost that suddenly appeared, there was no trace of this person's life before the reward was offered."

"Can't find it?" Oda Sakunosuke thought for a while, "Did you come to Yokohama on a smuggling ship?"

"It's also possible, but if that's the case, why did you come to Yokohama on purpose?" Osamu Dazai poked his cup lightly, "I still chose to stay in Yokohama when I knew that I would be hunted down by the port mafia all the time." Stay here, Miss [Cat] ran away crying last time~ Even so, she didn’t choose to really run away, she was about to cry when she saw me.”

"...It seems that I was bullied very badly." Probably because Sakule grew up gradually, Oda Sakunosuke felt a little sympathy for this [cat] lady whom he had never met before.

The phone rang, and Osamu Dazai lazily took out the phone: "...Ah, what's the situation at the scene?...All, all information."

After a brief exchange, Osamu Dazai said casually, "Well, come back."

Oda Sakunosuke looked at him quietly, and after hanging up the phone, Osamu Dazai lay down on the table with an aggrieved expression on his face: "Ah, as expected, he was escaped again, and the capture failed again this time."

Osamu Dazai looked at the wine in front of him with eyes that were difficult to distinguish: "Miss [Cat]."

-

After that, Oda Sakunosuke also heard several times that Osamu Dazai complained that Miss [Cat] was difficult to catch.

Recalling this, Oda Sakunosuke woke up: "Are you okay? That child was bullied by you very badly."

"Hey...Miss [Cat] wants to stretch out her paws to scratch me until now, it's so cute, she stretches out her paws and is afraid of being caught." Osamu Dazai said with a smile, "Oh, yes, Miss [Cat] If so, Odasaku knows it."

"……I know?"

"That's right, Ms. [Cat]'s name is Odasaku very familiar," Dazai Osamu paused for a while pretending to be mysterious, "It's Shirasaki."

"...A Saki?" Oda Sakunosuke was stunned, "Ah, speaking of which, A Saki said that she became a colleague with someone she hates."

"Hey! Is that what she really said! And there is more!" Osamu Dazai guessed enthusiastically, "Is it something like 'I would have left if I hadn't paid the salary in advance'?"

"Well, I did say that." Oda Sakunosuke recalled the conversation that day, and added, "I also talked about the previous thing that day, that is, the day before you left the Mafia, she said she had a nightmare... Ah, That day, you seem to have come."

"Nightmare..." Osamu Dazai sighed softly, a few words seemed to slip out of his throat, "I should have heard my voice that day, and ran away all of a sudden, I was also shocked."

"She was seriously injured that day, but fortunately, you brought the medicine before, so I used it for her." Oda Sakunosuke suddenly noticed this, "Did you... expect that?" Saki will get hurt?

"It's just that I just received information about the entry of a bomber with supernatural powers." Osamu Dazai replied, "Where is the injury?"

"There are some on the body, but the most serious one is on the face."

"...Really, I can't see it now."

"Because your medicine works well."
