[Bungo Stray Dogs] Yokohama Renka

Weak, pitiful and helpless, I pushed open the heavy door of the office with the mood of sleet and hail.

Dazai was having a great time spinning on the swivel office chair, and he stopped playing when he heard me come in.He hid the unfaded bruise under a large piece of medical tape, and since this man usually likes to wear bandages on his face, adding another piece of tape wouldn't be too obtrusive.

"Ah, good morning, Xiaoyou. Did you sleep well after I left last night?" The boy propped up one arm and stared at my face teasingly.

"Um……"

I moved my eyes away, and everything from last night came to my mind again.I thought shamefully, Dazai was present at the accidental disappearance last time and the drunken accident yesterday, how could he always bump into my embarrassing scenes, which made me unable to straighten up in front of him.

"Don't be so restrained, after all, you are my subordinate who I value, and it is the boss's responsibility to take care of you," Dazai said happily, "And if I didn't look for you last night, maybe one day Yuu will switch to Nakaya's place." gone."

"Eh?"

"In this way, even I am a little sad." Dazai's tone was like an old father whose daughter was in the rebellious period, "It's fine to run out to drink with slugs behind my back, I came to pick up Xiaoyu with good intentions, but you What did you say to me?"

"Did I say something rude to Dazai-sama?"

I think about it carefully, bad, it seems that every sentence is quite rude.

"You said that I can't control you during off-duty hours, so you have to do whatever you want, and you said that I deducted your salary according to the regulations, which is cruel and ruthless and unreasonable. Alas, I have failed too much as a boss. Xiaoyou turned out to have such a big opinion on me. "

No, I didn't say that, although the meaning is similar, but what I said last night was reinterpreted by Dazai in this way, and I felt that my performance was extremely embarrassing.

"No, how dare I have a problem with Dazai-sama."

"Is there really no opinion?"

"No." I said sincerely.

"Then I'm relieved." Dazai bent his eyes, and with his slender fingers, took a piece of white paper from the top of a thick stack of paper documents on the table.

He said with a smile: "If Xiaoyou says you have an opinion, I'm embarrassed to issue you the fine. I misunderstood you. Come on, this is the fine for you forgetting to turn off the air conditioner last night. Take it away."

I was respectful on the face, but disapproving in my heart, cut, how much electricity can be consumed in one night, and then I glanced at the numbers.

Fuck, the amount is half my salary if I don't have my eyesight.

"Too, Dazai-sama, isn't this amount a bit..."

You little bastard, are you deliberately avenging too much public and private revenge?

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"...It's nothing." My heart was bleeding, and I could only comfort myself that the wages of gangsters in Hong Kong are high, and half of the deduction is still enough to spend. Money is enough to spend.

"Ahaha, your hands are shaking, is it really all right?"

"No problem, don't worry." I folded the paper document and put it in my pocket without changing my expression, and put it in my pocket, "By the way, I haven't thanked you yet for Mr. Dazai to send me home last night, thank you yesterday Take care of me at night."

"..."

No response for a long time?

I sneaked a glance at Dazai, he turned his head to one side, I couldn't see the boy's expression.

This shouldn't be a sign of shyness, probably.

I wondered uncertainly, is he not very good at being thanked by others, this state is like a game character stuck in a rigid state.

Forget it, give him some face and pretend he didn't find out.I averted my eyes from peeking at his performance.

At this time, I felt that the incident had come to an end. I had no idea that this ticket was just the beginning of a period of suffering.

A month later.

I walked into a small western restaurant with heavy steps. I hadn't been around here before, so I didn't know what to eat in this small restaurant.

When I entered the door, there was a red-haired man in a sand-colored windbreaker sitting inside, not because of the meal time but because the place was remote. I didn’t know whether he was waiting for a meal or wasting time here. There was no food at the bar in front of him.

I sat down on the empty space for two people on the left hand side of the man, sighed a long time, felt physically and mentally exhausted, and said to the fat uncle boss behind the bar in a tired tone: "Uncle, do you have any recommended food here?" , I want to eat something spicy."

The accumulation of fatigue has reached the threshold, and the reason is still my unlucky boss.

From the day I was taken out to drink by Chuya, Dazai became extremely annoying.

He would forcefully stuff me with his own dishes on the grounds that my food expenses were not enough to supplement my nutrition, but what he gave me were all weird foods that I had never seen before.The appearance is the same as the stewed chicken (?) he gave me for the first time, which is the series of hell dishes, but the taste is surprisingly good.

I was very happy to accept it. How should I put it, there are not many people who can eat hand-made hot dishes at noon as a neon social animal.Until one day I ate the honey stew he gave me. That night, I was too excited to sleep the whole night, and almost collapsed on the way to work the next day.

So Dazai gave me another can of my favorite grape soda as a token of his apology, and I was sprayed all over as soon as I opened it.Then he suggested that I go to his residence which is relatively close to deal with it. Of course, I justly rejected his proposal.

Recently, when I entered my dormitory door, I was under a lot of pressure. I used the key to poke the door lock. If it feels a little loose, don’t worry about it. When I open the door, I will definitely bump into this guy’s gorgeous smiling face and will drop a can of crab meat with a high probability. .

He will also say: "Xiaoyou, welcome home. I brought good things today~"

In other words, this is already a crime, I really want to call the police, if I am not a member of the Mafia now.

I don't even know how to evaluate what he has done during this period, whether it is punishment or Dazai's concern, I really can't tell what kind of thoughts are hidden under his tightly knit mask.I have no choice but to attribute his recent behavior to a child's joke.

Although he was annoying before, I always feel that there are different reasons for his annoyingness now than before. As for the reason, I can't think of it for the time being.

I also hid outside for dinner to avoid Dazai.

"If there is something very distressing, it will be much better to eat some curry."

The red-haired man next to him made a sound, but he didn't seem to be talking to me. He was very calm and said in a tone of fact: "The super spicy curry made by uncle is very delicious. If you don't try it, you will have regrets in your life."

I heard that his voice was young, and I looked carefully. This young man was about the same age as my real age. He was in his early twenties, and his stubble made me misjudge his age.

And looking at it like this, there are calluses on his index finger and tiger's mouth from holding the gun all the year round, and there is a hidden sharpness in his eyes.

This person should also be an excellent fighter, but his temperament is very peaceful, like a river flowing quietly, calm and powerful.

I thought that others would not lie, so I immediately raised my hand: "Uncle, please have a serving of super spicy curry."

"Ok!"

So during the meal, I chatted with this person inexplicably.Although I was a stranger before, I feel that I hit it off with him, probably because his frank performance is very healing.

"Ah... I'm really sad recently. Thanks to your recommendation, the super spicy curry is really delicious and very strong. I have forgotten a lot of my troubles! Thank you."

"What are you worrying about? If it's a question that's inconvenient to answer, just pretend I didn't ask you." The man said.

Well, it's not something that can't be said, so I thought about telling half-truths and half-truths, and I was kind of looking for a solution.

"The elementary school student son of the boss of my part-time job has been clinging to me recently," I took a sip of the curry, "Is it teasing or the way he expresses his concern is wrong? I know he probably doesn't mean anything malicious, but it's really annoying..."

"Children's hearts are easily hurt, and they must be dealt with carefully." The man said, he also swallowed a mouthful of curry, and said vaguely, "Don't be too harsh on him if there is nothing malicious. He is on the opposite side of gender consciousness. When you were a primary school student, you still cling to a member of the opposite sex, it seems that he really likes you."

I almost sent curry into my nostrils, and said haha: "I don't think that's the case, how should I put it, this kid has a sensitive heart and a very smart mind, maybe he is restless, relying on the straw he grasped for a while to let him go. Did he make a mistake?"

"Well... I think from your description, he is very clear about his mood. If it doesn't work, it can be the last resort to say goodbye to this child and quit his part-time job. "

Lose the job? . . .

Although I planned to do so before, but after seeing Dazai's expression on the rooftop that day, I shouldn't be able to leave this person easily.

"Haha, I always feel very embarrassed to worry about my affairs."

"Ah, it's okay. I don't have anything to do afterwards, and it's fun to chat with others like this once in a while."

"About dismissing part-time jobs, I have thought about it before. I told my friends before that I will go back to high school after saving enough money, but how do I say it now... I feel like I can't let him go." I stopped eating , hesitantly describing his complex thoughts.

"I can't even say sympathy. I just don't want to lose... It seems that if I escape here, I will lose a part of my soul that shouldn't be damaged, and then I won't be able to maintain myself upright."

The man next to me stopped talking. I took a deep breath and tried to force myself: "Sorry, I said something that bothered you."

I complained to myself, saying something impolite to a person I met for the first time, look, it froze the pleasant atmosphere.

"It's okay," the man said after finishing the curry. "Since you've made up your mind, there's only one thing I can remind you. Be careful, and don't end up falling into it yourself."

He hesitated for a while, and then added: "Although that child likes you very much, it is a crime to attack elementary school students. Please refrain from it."

I shook my hand and broke the chopstick I was using with one hand. Is that elementary school student the one who spreads his wings on the verge of committing a crime?

And I said that he didn't like it!

"Speaking of which, after chatting for so long, I still don't know your name." I changed my chopsticks, trying to change the subject to ease the embarrassment: "My name is Yu Akagi, what should I call you?"

"Oda Sakunosuke, my name." After leaving the change, the man left the western restaurant steadily.

Talking with Oda cleared away my troubled mood for the past few days, and after finishing the curry rice, I paid the bill and left.

I got home at seven o'clock, and when I unlocked the door with the key, the strange feel let me know that that damn kid had turned the lock of my house again today and entered the door.

Sighing, my eyes turned to the cheap bento I bought from the 7-11 downstairs, I am getting used to the rhythm of Dazai's troubles.

Pushing open the door, Dazai sat on the ground with his back to me and hugged his legs, next to an empty can. When he saw me push the door in, he turned his head with an unhappy expression.

"You sauce, where did you go today and come home so late?"

"Master Dazai, I don't think this sentence should be used by a trespasser to accuse the owner of the house." I changed my shoes, went around to Dazai, and put the bento in front of him.

"...?"

"I bought dinner for you. Eating canned crab meat is not a serious meal. Come back to me after you finish eating. I have to work tomorrow."

"Are you caring about me? Yuu, you are so gentle." Dazai lowered his eyes. From my perspective, his eyelashes were haloed by the light, and he looked like he was about to cry, just for a moment The expression on his face was fleeting like an illusion, and the next moment, he who was sitting there was the usual Dazai again.

"Ah, compared to convenience store stuff, I really want to eat Yuu's own cooking."

"I don't know how to cook. So Dazai-sama don't come to my house anymore."

The author has something to say:

Yu knew Oda earlier than Dazai.Yesterday I found out that there was a timeline bug in the outline, and I was crying.

In Yuu's eyes, the current Dazai is a difficult brat (laughs). In Dazai's opinion, the two adults should each have half of what they say.

The age setting is like this, before the dragon head war, Dazai was sixteen, Yu body (Yui) fourteen, the main body is 21 years old, and Oda is the same age.
