Although he didn't admit it, Satomi discovered that Osamu Dazai seemed to have found a new toy... no, it was a new student.

Nakajima Atsushi, a newcomer to the detective agency named Moonbeast with a supernatural ability, also known as the human tiger.After passing the entrance test jointly organized by everyone, he successfully became a member of the Armed Detective Agency.Although he doesn't seem to realize it, this is not an ordinary detective agency.

"What are you thinking, so lost in thought."

Satomi put a cup of coffee in front of Atsushi Nakajima who was lying on his seat and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Is there any other discomfort on your body?"

"what……"

Atsushi Nakajima was stunned for a moment, and when he raised his head, he realized that it was Satomi.

Sure enough, no matter how much time passed, he still couldn't get used to Satomi's almost identical voice to Osamu Dazai.

"It's really troublesome for you, Mr. Shi..."

Atsushi Nakajima smiled shyly at Misato Sato, and thanked him for making him a cup of coffee.

Satomi leaned against the table, propping Atsushi Nakajima's table back with one hand, tilted his head slightly and smiled, "Just now you thought I was Dazai?"

He was not surprised that Atsushi Nakajima had just admitted his mistake.Because if you just listen to the voice, it is really easy for people who are not familiar with him to confuse him with Osamu Dazai.

"Feel sorry……"

Atsushi Nakajima scratched his cheek in embarrassment.It is really embarrassing to make everyone wrong and be found out by the person concerned.

Satomi raised his hand and stroked Atsushi Nakajima's hair.

Because of the 70 billion bounty on the black market, the brothers and sisters Atsushi Nakajima and Tanizaki who went out were attacked by the evil dog Akutagawa Ryunosuke of the port mafia.Although under the treatment of Yosano Akiko, the three of them were fine.But the inner self-blame is still indispensable.Especially after Kunikida went to the infirmary to visit Atsushi Nakajima in the morning, Satomi found that Atsushi Nakajima was worried.

"By the way, it's almost noon, do you want to go out for dinner with me?"

In order to take care of the newcomers and Dazai Osamu's disciples, Satomi decides to take Atsushi Nakajima out to relax.Sakunosuke Oda went to the children's classroom visit day today, and he didn't come to work, so he probably won't have any tasks that need to go out today, and he has a lot of time to spend with Atsushi Nakajima.

"There is a new delicious restaurant near here. I heard that the ochazuke in their restaurant is even more delicious. Why don't I invite you to the ochazuke?"

"Eh……"

Hearing the word "chazuke rice", Atsushi Nakajima let out a grunt.

Seeing this, Satomi smiled and stroked Atsushi Nakajima's soft hair again.

"Let's go."

"Will this cost you too much..."

Atsushi Nakajima clutched his stomach, looking very embarrassed.

"how come."

Satomi slowly withdrew the hand that was placed on Atsushi Nakajima's head, and said with a smile, "This is a chance I finally found to thank Atsushi. If Atsushi refuses, I will be sad."

"grateful?"

Atsushi Nakajima put down his hand covering his stomach, and looked at Satomi in puzzlement, not understanding why he said that.

Since he joined the detective agency, he has been under the care of Satomi and Osamu Dazai.Obviously, the person who should be grateful the most is him...why should Satomi thank him?

"Thank you for saving Dazai from the river that day."

Seeing what Atsushi Nakajima was wondering about, Satomi smiled and explained to him.

"My brother is too worrying, and he must have caused you a lot of trouble these days."

"how come!"

Atsushi Nakajima stood up quickly, seeing that he was in the wrong place and giving up.

"It's too late for me to thank Mr. Dazai, how could I find it troublesome...Moreover, Mr. Dazai and Mr. Kunikida have already treated me to tea with rice...Mr. Shi really doesn't need to be like this..."

"That's Kunikida-kun, not me."

Satomi raised his hand and flicked Atsushi Nakajima's forehead to stop him from continuing.

"This is Dazai brother's thank you."

Speaking of which, Satomi put his hands in his pockets like Osamu Dazai.

"Let's go, I'll take you around for a stroll."

Atsushi Nakajima was stunned for a moment, but in the end he put his small bag on his back and followed Satomi.

……

"Does Dunjun like the detective agency?"

In a restaurant two streets away from the Armed Detective Agency, Satoshi Satomi was sitting opposite Atsushi Nakajima, with his hands folded and his chin propped.

On the table between them were many empty ochazuke bowls.Atsushi Nakajima slumped on the chair contentedly, with a chubby belly, very much like when he first met Osamu Dazai.

"Of course I like it. I like everyone in the detective agency the most."

Atsushi Nakajima rubbed his chubby belly, then seemed to suddenly think of something, and his expression suddenly fell down.

"Are you worried that the bounty will affect the detective agency?"

Satomi waved to the passing waiters, motioning for them to come and pay the bill.

Nakajima Atsushi didn't speak, it was acquiescence.

After paying the bill, Satomi stood up, did not continue the topic just now, but said another way: "Let's go, let's go for a walk."

Atsushi Nakajima had everything written on his face. Even though he didn't have the ability to dissect a person at a glance like Osamu Dazai, Satomi could still easily guess what he was thinking right now.

He wants to draw a line with the detective agency and protect the agency from the port mafia... How should I put it, he is really a kind boy...

Satomi glanced at Atsushi Nakajima who was following behind him with his head down, and stopped, as if planning to say something to him.However, before Satomi could speak, he was interrupted by a loud "boom" from not far away.

"What happened? What happened?"

Atsushi Nakajima suddenly raised his head, looked in the direction of the thick smoke, and then his pupils shrank violently.

that direction-

"It's a detective agency!"

After discovering that the detective agency had an accident, Atsushi Nakajima's face turned pale instantly.

"It is estimated that people from the mafia have come to make trouble again."

Satomi glanced in the direction of the detective agency unsteadily, then reached out and grabbed the collar of Atsushi Nakajima who wanted to rush back.

"Mr. Shi! Let go of me quickly! We must go back quickly to save people..."

Atsushi Nakajima shouted excitedly at Misato Sato, for fear that he would see everyone in the detective agency lying in a pool of blood like the Tanizaki brothers and sisters if he went back one step later.

"Dun Jun, I think you seem to have misunderstood something."

Satomi sighed, but did not let go of his grip on Atsushi Nakajima's collar.

It wasn't once or twice that people from the port mafia came to the detective agency to make trouble.Everyone in the Armed Detective Agency has long been accustomed to the farce that will be staged every once in a while. Now when they go back, they will definitely help clean up the mess made by the port mafia and Kunikida Doppo's thoughts, which won the hearts of Osamu Dazai Satomi, who learned from skipping work, didn't want to go back so early.

"Working in a detective agency, you have to get used to these things as soon as possible."

"Eh?"

Atsushi Nakajima, who was pulled back by Satomi, stared blankly at Satomi's side face, not understanding what he was talking about.

What does it mean to adapt to such a thing as early as possible?

Satomi smiled slightly, hugged Atsushi Nakajima's shoulders, and walked slowly with him on the way back to the detective agency.

"This is a detective agency full of strange people, don't underestimate everyone in the detective agency."

Saying that, the two stopped.

On the fourth floor of the red brick building not far away, members of the Port Mafia militant faction in black suits were being thrown out of the windows.

"I don't know what Kunikida-kun said to you this morning, but you better get those stupid thoughts out of your head."

Satoshi Satomi and Atsushi Nakajima looked at the location of the detective agency together.

Kenji Miyazawa, who had lost the mafia, was just about to close the window when he saw the two people downstairs, so he smiled and waved hello to Satomi and Atsushi Nakajima.

Atsushi Nakajima was stunned, subconsciously raised his hand and waved to Kenji Miyazawa.

"Remember what Dazai said to you the first night we met you?"

"The Armed Detective Agency gathers all kinds of people with supernatural powers?"

Atsushi Nakajima tentatively answered this question from Satomi.In the end, Satoshi ruthlessly rubbed his hair.

"It's the last sentence, you idiot."

"Eh?"

"From now on you are our companion."

Satomi helped Atsushi Nakajima straighten his messy hair, then pinched Atsushi Nakajima's cheek lightly, and said with a smile, "We are companions, Atsushi-kun."

"There's no such thing as entanglement among companions. Although the spirit of self-sacrifice in order to protect your companions is good, but——you should trust us seniors more occasionally."

Nakajima Atsushi opened his eyes slightly, feeling that the corners of his eyes seemed a little moist.

"You have passed the entrance test of the detective agency, so you are a member of our detective agency. I think Kunikida-kun should have told you the words 'don't tarnish the signboard of the detective agency'?"

"But I think he should have forgotten to tell you the last sentence, because that guy always likes to talk halfway, so here I will help Kunikida-kun to say the half-sentence he didn't finish. Here you go-"

Satomi lost his hand on Atsushi Nakajima's shoulder and put it in his pocket.

"Dun Jun, I hope you can remember - our detective agency does not cause trouble, but we are not afraid of trouble."

"If you dare to hurt our companions, you must be prepared to be taken back by us ten times and a hundred times."

After finishing speaking, Satomi patted Atsushi Nakajima's shoulder lightly, and said with a smile, "Go up, Kunikida-kun should need you very much right now."

"What about you?"

Atsushi Nakajima wiped the tears off his face with his sleeve.

"Of course I went to find Dazai."

Satomi waved his back to Atsushi Nakajima.

"If I don't look at him for a while, I don't know where to go into the water. I don't want to wash his clothes several times a day."

Atsushi Nakajima stood where he was, watching Satomi's back gradually disappearing from his sight.

Warm tears still slid down his cheeks.Atsushi Nakajima glanced at the dead body lying on the ground, a member of the port mafia militant faction who was said to have combat prowess comparable to special forces, and finally trot up the stairs to the fourth floor.

The walls are riddled with holes and the ground is in a mess, but everyone is intact.

Sure enough, everything went as Satomi said.

"What, you kid is finally willing to come back!"

Kunikida Doppo, who was packing up the documents on the floor, looked at Atsushi Nakajima who was standing at the door panting, and said displeasedly: "

"Hurry up and help clean up! Really, I'm so busy, I still take you out for a stroll...Didn't I tell you to think about what you can do? Now it seems that all you can do is help clean up Alright..."

Atsushi Nakajima sniffled, feeling the tears that had finally stopped falling down his cheeks again.

"You guys, have time to giggle..."

Kunikida Doppo turned his head and was about to say a few words to Atsushi Nakajima when he saw Atsushi Nakajima burst into tears.

"What's wrong, are you crying?"

"No!"

"You're just crying."

"If you don't cry, you don't cry!"

Kunikida Doppo leaned forward and was about to laugh at Atsushi Nakajima when he was interrupted by Satomi who came back from looking for Osamu Dazai.

"Hey, everyone, you've worked hard, Dazai and I brought milk tea back~"

Satomi, who was carrying a lot of milk tea, naturally noticed the tears in the corners of Atsushi Nakajima's eyes, but he didn't directly poke Atsushi Nakajima like Doppo Kunikida, but said in another way: "Atsushi-kun ran up the stairs again Right? Although you are young and have good physical strength, you should pay more attention to your body. You just finished eating, so strenuous exercise is not good."

"Kunikida-kun—"

Osamu Dazai, who was following Satomi, glanced at Atsushi Nakajima inadvertently, and then said to Kunikida Doppo who was beside Atsushi Nakajima, "Hurry up and help me, I really need to hold so much milk tea." I'm exhausted."

"You guy, you'd be ashamed to go out to play during working hours!"

"What, I'm obviously working hard."

"Don't think I don't know that you ran downstairs to the coffee shop to pick up girls again..."

"Uh, stop arguing, both of you... milk tea! The milk tea is about to be spilled!"

Edogawa Ranpo looked at Dazai Osamu who was being strangled by Kunikida Doppo's neck and writhing like noodles, and gently shook the wave soda in his hand.

"Here—milk tea."

Satomi lightly patted Atsushi Nakajima who was wiping tears with his back to everyone, and handed over the last cup of milk tea in his hand.

"Ah, thank you, Mr. Shi..."

Atsushi Nakajima took the milk tea that Satomi handed him, and bowed slightly.

Satoshi reached out and stroked Atsushi Nakajima's hair with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Oni-chan~ come, open your mouth~"

"Um, Nao, Naomi... I can..."

"Ah~~~"

The Tanizaki brothers and sisters on the side once again played ambiguously as if no one else was there.

"Miss, I want it too!"

Seeing this, Osamu Dazai swooped over, wanting to play the trick of the Tanizaki brothers and sisters with Satomi, but in the end, Satomi ruthlessly held his face, preventing him from jumping on him like Tanizaki Naomi.

"You are no longer a child, Dazai."

"Wow, it's not fair...it's obviously a big brother, how can Tanizaki-kun dote on his sister so much, why can't he pamper me like Tanizaki-kun..."

"I want to play too, I want to play too..."

Atsushi Nakajima looked at the two brothers who were playing around in front of him, and couldn't help laughing.

Such a day was beyond his imagination in the past.

Eating enough food is no longer a trouble, and I have a companion who recognizes me...

It was like a dream, so beautiful that Atsushi Nakajima couldn't believe it.

So much later, Atsushi Nakajima thought about it many times—if he hadn't brought Kyoka back to the detective agency that day...would it be possible that this dream created by everyone in the detective agency would continue like it is now?

Unfortunately, there is no if in this world.

So now Atsushi Nakajima doesn't know...

This day was the last time I saw a smile on Satomi's face.
