Troublemakers come to Yokohama

Cowards are afraid of happiness, they will be hurt when they touch cotton, and sometimes they will be hurt by happiness. ——Osamu Dazai, "No Longer Human"

[Armed Detective Agency] Near dusk on September 27

Today is a special day for Osamu Dazai.

He is going to visit a friend.

A person who understands the bad guy "Osamu Dazai" to the center of his heart.

On this day four years ago, Osamu Dazai finally realized that Oda Sakunosuke was his best friend who understood him best, and at the same time lost him forever.

Oda Sakunosuke said to him: "Go to the side that saves people. If it's the same wherever you stay, then go and be a good person."

Since then, Osamu Dazai has stood on the side of the light, saving the weak, protecting the orphans, and silently guarding the city of Yokohama.

It does seem better to be on the side of saving lives.

Osamu Dazai joined the Armed Detective Agency, which is a very warm place.It's just that Osamu Dazai is more defensive than four years ago.

The pain of losing two friends at the same time in a "mimic" incident can slowly ease with time, but Osamu Dazai doesn't want to try this feeling again.

"If you get something precious, you will lose it one day", Osamu Dazai firmly believes in this point.He never tried to step into the warmth of the Armed Detective Agency and socialize too much with other members.

Osamu Dazai is very smart, he can almost quickly lead the incident to the result he wants most, and manipulating people's hearts is also without disadvantages, but even he still has many things that cannot be calculated.

Fate is a very interesting and very ruthless thing.

The port mafia cadres who were mentioned in the past as "the misfortune of being Mr. Dazai's opponents is that they have become Mr. Dazai's opponents" are now sitting in the office of their opposing organization, the Armed Detective Agency, and even began to use gentle Means to lead their descendants.

Time for Osamu Dazai to learn to play a man in the sun.Use a gentle appearance to hide the darkness in your heart, occasionally make some bad but not extreme jokes, and use the various methods in the favorite masterpiece "Complete Suicide Manual" to find some fun as before.Of course, it would be even better if a beauty can be found to die in love.

Forget it, it's time to polish the newcomers.

Osamu Dazai raised his head and glanced at Atsushi Nakajima. He had just brought this cub into the club a few days ago.Atsushi Nakajima has excellent potential and is the strongest supernatural user in the future.Moreover, he is cowardly but kind-hearted, and he can become strong if he is properly guided.

Atsushi Nakajima is a necessary guardian of Yokohama's future.

Akutagawa who seems to have no head iron is difficult to teach, Osamu Dazai thought, let the two of them become partners in the future?Yesterday, I just took the opportunity to observe. Their abilities are not much different at this stage, and their advantages are just the opposite: the weak Akutagawa is good at long-distance attack and powerful; the tiger-shaped Atsushi Nakajima is quick in response, strong in self-healing, and has melee attack ability Good for close combat.

Well, it's good to think of complementing each other like this.Osamu Dazai rested his head on his hands and thought.

But it is estimated that they will not get along very well, and the atmosphere of meeting yesterday was not very good.

Thinking of this, Osamu Dazai made a "cut", Mr. Mori didn't seem to have considered the feeling of forcing me and that dark dwarf together.Forget it, my condolences and my condolences~

And it's getting faster.Too many troublesome people appeared in Yokohama to stir up trouble, but that annoying Russian mouse came to Yokohama and didn't know what it was plotting; I also saw underground intelligence that a white-haired fox took control of Jingtie Co., Ltd.Anyway, it is too useless for the top few chaebols in Japan.Osamu Dazai complained in his heart.

It's tiring to work hard.

Osamu Dazai stretched his waist, ready to slip away from work, he didn't want to participate in the dinner party that was waiting for him.

Hearing that Kunikida Doppo picked up a letter and wanted to show it to Mr. Ranpo, Osamu Dazai leaned over to take a look.

"Respectfully, Mr. Edogawa Ranpo"?

I always feel something is wrong, but I believe that Mr. Ranpo can solve this matter.He is a great detective whose reasoning ability is comparable to supernatural powers.

Sorry, I have more important things to do today.And if you stay, you will be forcibly dragged to the dinner party.

Helping his partner hand over the letter to Edogawa Ranpo, Osamu Dazai just found an excuse and went out.

Sure enough, Kunikida-kun was not caught~

"Lululu~ one person can't die for love, hehehe~~ But two people can..."

Dazai Osamu hummed a weird song of martyrdom, put his hands in the pockets of his sand-colored trench coat, and walked quickly towards the cemetery on the outskirts of the city.

He decided, in order to comfort himself who has worked so hard, after visiting his friends, he will go to the commemorative Lupin to have a drink~

It would be even better if the boss would give him a glass of disinfectant and let him indulge in this acidified and decayed world.

Halfway through the walk it started to rain.

Walking in the rain is a rare pleasure.Osamu Dazai walked slowly towards the cemetery on the outskirts of Yokohama without opening his umbrella.

It took about 10 minutes, the rain became smaller and smaller, and the cloud had gradually dissipated.

The cemetery is in the middle of the woods and is a very secluded place.Only those who remember the dead come here.

Osamu Dazai rarely came.He doesn't like to visit graves, but he always wants to see his friends on this day.

This is his fourth time here.

Osamu Dazai still had his hands empty, unlike other people who visited the dead, he didn't bring anything.

You probably don't care about these.

Osamu Dazai stepped forward.

He will never forget the layout here.

The curly hair was wet, and the sand-colored windbreaker was stuck to the body.Osamu Dazai looked a little embarrassed, but there was a gentle smile on his face.He walked slowly to the tombstone, leaned against the back of the tombstone and sat down.

He closed his eyes and said nothing.His expression was unusually calm.

Oda work.

I've been on the bright side for two years now.

As you said, this is indeed better.

I have finally found two people who can guard this place after me, and I plan to form them into a partner, and I am currently cultivating them well.

After that, I hope I can reach that other shore one day.

Bless me, Odasaku.

Haha, I don't know how you will reply to me, anyway, it is definitely not a complaint.

You can't always guess what you're thinking, as expected of my friend.

Unable to tell what it felt like, Osamu Dazai opened his eyes, put his hands on the dirt, and looked up at the sky.

His expression was terribly gentle.

"Goo--"

A voice came from the stomach, breaking the silence.

"Huh, is it so late?" Osamu Dazai rubbed his stomach, got up and prepared to leave.

"See you next time, Odasaku~~"

While talking, Osamu Dazai took a last look at the tombstone of the letter "Oda Sakunosuke - a father".

This is Ango's inscription, it is very suitable for Oda.Ango was also asked to do the burial.That was the only contact between the two of them in the past four years.After making that call, Osamu Dazai picked off the phone card, broke it and threw it in the river, throwing away the phone card and his identity as a port mafia cadre.

Osamu Dazai hated Ango Sakaguchi.He is not a very narrow-minded person, and he usually leaves it alone after revenge.

Even the hatred for Mr. Mori has gradually turned into disgust and helplessness, but Osamu Dazai's feelings towards Ango Sakaguchi have always been very complicated.The other party should have been his only friend.

Ango Sakaguchi is a clerk of the Supernatural Secret Service Division. A few years ago, he worked as a double agent for intelligence gathering in the port mafia.It was his betrayal that opened the prelude to the death of Oda Sakunosuke.

Had Oda Sakunosuke been alive, the three of them might have reached a reconciliation one day.

Now that day will never come.

Osamu Dazai never wanted to see each other again.But how can everything go as he wishes?

Just when Osamu Dazai was about to turn around and leave, he stopped suddenly.Walking to the front of the tombstone, he touched a piece of dirt on the left side of the tombstone in surprise, pressed it with his fingertips, and his complexion quickly turned gray.

Not right.

When Osamu Dazai came, he saw a bunch of flowers in front of the tombstone, and the flowers were still blooming just right.It was probably put up during the two days when someone paid homage.Osamu Dazai thought it was Ango Sakaguchi who came and left it, but the traces of the soil made him doubt it.

The humidity of the soil next to the tombstone was completely wrong.

There was a patch of looser soil, which, while seemingly harmless, was evident after the rain.These dirt swabs are heavier and seep more rainwater than the land next to them.It seems to have been dug up here.

There is a high probability that Ango Sakaguchi did not do it.Osamu Dazai thought, with his character, he would not do such a thing that blasphemed his friend, even if it was just digging up the soil beside his friend's grave.

Osamu Dazai didn't care much about this custom that everyone tacitly accepted.He dug out the wettest piece of soil with his hands, only to find a well-folded brown paper hidden under the soil.

Osamu Dazai covered the soil back, and unfolded the kraft paper, with a piece of uneven paper sandwiched in the middle, and the handwriting on the paper was very scribbled.Osamu Dazai glanced casually, but his expression seemed to be frozen.

It says,

"He's just a kid with too much brains, and we've watched the world in the dark, and he's been left in a faraway void, all alone. He's just a crying kid, and I've never set foot in him alone In my heart, now I have some regrets.”

The handwriting breaks off here.

Osamu Dazai's pupils were shocked, his face lost all expression, and his body trembled slightly.

Odasaku ah...

It is indeed Odasaku's handwriting and tone.

Did Ango let it go?Dazai was a little shaken.After all, after such a long period of time, the only one who can get Oda as a relic is Ango, who took care of his funeral. At that time, other people would not care about a small low-level member of the Mafia.

But why did Ango bury the note at this time?

Osamu Dazai sighed in his heart, he had to make an exception and contact Ango once.

He turned on his phone and quickly sent a text message:

"At 8 o'clock in the evening, see Lupin."

Osamu Dazai did not sign it, and he knew that Ango Sakaguchi could understand what he meant.

What a pity, Osamu Dazai was thinking about irrelevant topics at this time, and really wanted to go to that restaurant to eat super spicy curry again.

The author has something to say:

Since the specific time was not found in the original text, the death time of Oda Sakunosuke is privately set as September 27.
