Takase would be hit hard.

In the seaside battle that day, it was obvious that Takase would have someone behind him pointing them out. They even predicted the defense of the port mafia and set up a backup, but unfortunately, Mori Chiha's environment-building magic ended their further invasion.

But the Port Mafia isn't entirely victorious, as the Colonel is missing.

The last person to see Da Zuo was Koyo Ozaki. According to her, Da Zuo seemed to have discovered a suspicious person, and after a hasty meeting with her, he ran to the northwest to chase him.

"Could it have been captured by the enemy?" Ozaki Koyo thought with his head down, "But at that time, apart from the people from the Takase Society, no other forces participated in the struggle."

"The guys from the Takase Club aren't strong enough to capture Da Zuo." Nakahara Nakaya said, "Sister, the old man's supernatural ability can liquefy the surface he touches for his own use."

Da Zuo is actually only a little older than Mori Ogai, so Chuya Nakahara calls "Old Man" and "Old Man" all day long.

Osamu Dazai leaned against the wall of the window and looked outside, the sun reflected half of his body, his expression was extremely dull, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The pocket watch rang in Mori Chiha's pocket. Mori Chiha took it out and opened the cover.

The second hand moved, and every time it hit Mori Chiha's heart.

It would be great if he could be held back at that time, Mori Chiha thought, even if he used "Fortuna" on him, it would be better than not knowing his whereabouts now.

"In short, the detailed battle report has been sorted out and reported to the leader." Ozaki Koba said, "I will temporarily leave the task of finding the Colonel to the reconnaissance team. If you find any new situation, you will report it in time."

After finishing speaking, Ozaki Koye paused for a while, walked up to Mori Chiha and patted him on the shoulder, with a soft voice: "Qianyu-kun did a good job this time, I have worked hard for you during this time."

Mori Chiha shook her head and smiled at Koyo Ozaki.Then he put the pocket watch back into his pocket, stepped back a few steps and stood beside Osamu Dazai.

"Mr. Dazai." Mori Chiha's voice was very low, "You have already guessed who is the mastermind behind Takasekai this time, right? Is he the one who captured Da Zuo?"

Osamu Dazai didn't turn his eyes back because Chiha Mori spoke. He still looked out of the window. After a long time, he sighed softly and turned to look at Chiha Mori.

"Although I really don't want to say this, but Qianyu, you'd better be mentally prepared that the Colonel won't be able to come back." Osamu Dazai's kite-colored eyes were filled with thick fog.

Mori Chiha's pupils tightened.

Koyo Ozaki and others left the conference room one by one, and Nakahara Chuya was the last one to go out.He leaned against the door and looked at Dazai Osamu and Mori Chiha for a while, but finally closed the door without saying anything.

Only Osamu Dazai and Chiha Mori were left in the room.

"What... do you mean?" Mori Chiha clenched the cuffs of the kimono, staring at Osamu Dazai.

Osamu Dazai did not avoid Mori Chiha's gaze, he was obviously very patient today.He said: "Recently there have been rumors that a person called 'Bai Qilin' is stirring up troubles everywhere, and the person who caused the disputes is likely to be him. I have been looking for clues about him, and I suspect that he and the Colonel related to the disappearance.”

White Kirin?

Sen Qianyu pursed his lips: "Is there any more detailed information about this 'Bai Qilin'? I also want to participate."

Dazai Osamu looked at Mori Chiu: "Anyone who knows the true identity of 'Bai Qilin' will be killed by him. He is an extremely difficult guy."

After saying this, Osamu Dazai paused for a moment, and continued: "Do you still remember the white-clothed and silver-haired man you saw in the 'Spades' VIP room of the casino?"

Mori Chiha frowned.that person?The one called "Mr. Shibusawa"?Of course I have an impression.That person has almost monopolized the direction of the entire game in the casino.Later, when Mori Chiha and Nakahara Chuya were eating in the restaurant, they met that person once.As if they met on purpose, that "Shibusawa" sat next to him and Chuya Nakahara, and ordered the same ramen as them.

A thought flashed through Mori Qianyu's mind, and his complexion instantly turned pale.

"Are you trying to tell me that that person is 'Bai Qilin'?" Mori Chiu said.

The sunlight was a little dazzling, Osamu Dazai moved his body, his whole body was immersed in the shadow, and he let out a "hmm".

Mori Qianyu was silent for a long time, and finally spit out three words "Got it", then he turned around and walked towards the door.

"Qianyu." Dazai Osamu called him from behind, "If you meet him, don't confront him head-on."

Mori Chiha nodded with his back to Osamu Dazai, then opened the door and walked out.

******

In the following three days, Osamu Dazai did not see Chiha Mori, and everyone including Youlan did not know where Chiha Mori was going.

On the fourth day, there was heavy rain in Yokohama, and the overcast sky hung over the Hong Kong Building.

Between lightning and thunder, Osamu Dazai stood on the twelfth floor of the building and looked at the outside scene.He just stood there until the alarm clock sounded at seven o'clock in the evening. He took the elevator to the first floor, and seemed to be waiting for someone at the gate.

In the dense rain, someone walked towards this side with slow steps.He was small and slightly stooped—and on his back was a man nearly twice his size.He was drenched in the rain, but the rain did nothing to stop him from going on.

Dazai had a serious expression on his face.

Because the person walking in the rain was Mori Chiha.

The door opened automatically, and Mori Qianyu walked in step by step along the carpet that was spread to the main hall, leaving a string of water-stained footprints on the carpet.He didn't greet Osamu Dazai, his face was as cold as ice in January.

Dazai Osamu didn't speak, and didn't make any extra movements, just watched Mori Chiha quietly put the person on his back to the ground.Mori Chiha's movements were slow, as if he was dealing with a fragile treasure.

The person lying on the ground had his eyes closed, the rainwater had drawn grooves on his face, and he had a diaper pinned to his waist.

He's already, not breathing.

Mori Chiha didn't yell or cry, he just quietly looked at the Colonel lying on the ground - staring at the death.

Time passed minute by minute, and after a long time, Mori Chiha raised his head as if waking up from a dream, and looked at Osamu Dazai who had been standing beside him.

"I found him at the reservoir in Tsurumi District." Mori Chiha said slowly, "There are no knife wounds or gunshot wounds on his body, and there are signs of fractures in his limbs. He may have died of internal bleeding."

As he analyzed it, he looked very calm.

"If the opponent is really 'White Qilin', it can only be said that it is really a terrifying superpower. Even the Colonel has no way to deal with him. We have to think about other measures to deal with it..."

Osamu Dazai stepped forward.

He took Mori Chiha's hand.

——That hand was clenched into a fist, trembling uncontrollably.

Mori Qianyu was silent, his breathing was no longer steady as usual, it was obvious that he was trying to restrain something, for example, the anger that was steaming from the bottom of his heart.

"Chiba." Osamu Dazai called his name.

Mori Chiha took a deep breath and lowered his tone: "Dazai-kun, I really hate it."

"Hate myself."

"Why didn't you stop him at that time? Why didn't you go to him immediately after the incident? All these and other reasons made me hate myself."

Mori Chiba looked at the ground, the chill came down from the top of his head, seeped from the soles of his feet, and spread everywhere.

Da Zuo is a gentle and kind person. Although he is a cadre of the port mafia, he never puts on airs.

Mori Qianyu has always remembered his goodness, and the phrase "I will teach you slowly when I have time" echoed in my mind over and over again. Who would have thought that meeting again would be such a scene.

"If self-blame was useful, there wouldn't be so many misfortunes in the world." Osamu Dazai said.

"You're right." Mori Chiha nodded, loosened his fist and held Dazai Osamu's hand instead, "I have to become stronger, stronger in every sense. Not only to protect myself, but also to protect myself." Protect those around you."

Osamu Dazai looked at Chiha Mori.

He saw the "change" from Mori Chiha.In just a few months, Mori Chiha has gone from being "cautious" and "isolated" at the beginning to now possessing the consciousness of "companion"; from simply "surviving on his own" to now "protecting those around him".

This is the growth that belongs to Mori Chiha, although the price paid is too heavy.

At this moment, Mori Chiha was immersed in the grief and pain of Da Zuo's death.

He never expected that three days later, someone from the Port Mafia disappeared again.

And this time it was Osamu Dazai.

The author has something to say:

Oh shit, something happened to Dazai.
