"..." Qiuya looked at Dazai and opened his mouth, "...Is that someone you know?"

He thought of what Dazai told him before, the tragic end of betraying the mafia organization, and couldn't help asking him.

"Yes," Dazai sighed softly, looking sideways at the moon outside the house. Today is the first quarter moon, but judging from the phenomenon of profit and loss, it will be the full moon again in a few days. "That person is someone I have a good relationship with." Friends, we often drink together or something."

"..." Shuya looked at Dazai and wanted to comfort him, but in the end he didn't say anything.It is impossible to put yourself in a person's mood, he stood up from the sofa, looked at Dazai in front of him, "Is there anything, can I do it for you?"

He wasn't a member of the Port Mafia, and he didn't know much about its contents, but he hoped that he could do something for Dazai that would relieve him a little.

Dazai turned his eyes back from looking out the window, and looked at Shuya standing in front of him with a serious expression.He thought for a while, then stood up, and made a common request to Qiuya, "Come and hug me?"

Without hesitation, Qiu Ye stood on tiptoe and hugged the man in front of him, resting his chin on the man's shoulder.This gesture is very similar to the hug they had when they met in Old Book Alley that year during the Dragon Head War.

It's just that Qiu was also looking for comfort from Dazai back then, but this time, he was trying to comfort this man who has become a mafia cadre.

"Does it feel better?" Qiu Ye looked at the first-quarter moon outside the French window, and Dazai beside him said.

"It's so simple to hug someone else, Qiuya, maybe I'm just taking advantage."

"...Because Dazai is my important friend, so I just want to do what I can." And he doesn't think Dazai will take advantage of him at all, although in his eyes Dazai is not an image of a good old man like Mr. Oda, But...it wouldn't hurt him anyway.

"What you get, you lose in an instant..." Dazai murmured in a low voice.

"Huh?" Qiu didn't hear clearly either.

"I just remembered that sentence," Dazai explained, "What you gain will always be lost, and friendship is like this."

"People will always gain something and lose something." Qiu Ye shook his head, disagreeing with this point of view, "If it is lost, then it will be fine to get it again next time."

After Shuya finished saying this, Dazai was silent for a while, and the two kept embracing, but Qiuya, who had been standing on tiptoe, was a little tired.

He moved a little, trying to break free.As soon as this intention came into being, Dazai stopped him, he held the back of Shuya's head, not allowing him to let go.

"Tired feet." Qiu Ye complained softly.

"...Sorry." Dazai still didn't let go, but he bent down a little, so that Qiu, who was in his arms, could stand back on the ground without being so uncomfortable.

"I wanted to say it a long time ago. Grandpa Yasuo said that I was always acting like a baby, but I think Dazai is the best at acting like a baby." Shuya said in a low voice, and he didn't go again when he could stand back on the ground. He let go of his embrace and let Dazai hold him.

"Although I really want to thank that old man for teaching you so well," while Shuya rested his chin on Dazai's shoulder, Dazai's chin was also on Qiuya's shoulder. He smiled and said, "But that old man will probably hit me when he sees me, maybe he will use a gun."

"Grandpa Yasuo wouldn't hit you," Qiuya retorted, "He's just a tough guy, he's a nice guy."

"No, he will definitely hit me." Dazai said with certainty.

"I said no," Shuya retorted again, "Dazai is my friend. Grandpa Yasuo already knew that I had a friend in the bookstore that he hadn't met, so he wouldn't hit you."

"..."

Dazai, who didn't understand what he expressed, didn't speak any more, and the apartment fell silent.The late autumn night breeze blows in through the gap in the floor-to-ceiling windows of the living room, causing the curtains to be blown in a certain arc. Combined with the night view of Yokohama outside the house and the first quarter moon, the whole apartment has a warm and quiet mood.

"Speaking of which," after a long while in this quiet atmosphere, Shuya spoke again, "after the salary of the library is paid next time, let's find a day to go to Hakone together."

"Hakone?"

"Well," he nodded, "Hakone is not far from here, and looking at this autumn, it should be very cold in winter, so it's very suitable for hot springs."

"I'm the port mafia." Dazai said softly.

"I know, but I said before that I would try my best to treat your work as an ordinary employee, didn't I?" Qiu Ye moved her head and buried her chin deeper, "I didn't go out with you before, just because I didn't want to bother you."

If his existence was discovered by Dazai's enemies, and then he was taken away... He didn't want to use his own life to test whether he was important in Dazai's heart.

"I know."

"Well," Dazai was so smart, so he must know what he was thinking.Qiu can also be sure of this. : "Then, does Dazai like curry?"

He remembered that today, Dazai specially came to that restaurant to eat curry.

"Shuya, we just finished dinner." Dazai sighed, and said softly, "You're even full."

"..." Qiuya put his hand on Dazai's shoulder expressionlessly, and he wanted to let go of the embrace, "I'll learn curry from the boss on Saturday, and the food after that will be curry."

Dazai once again stretched out his hand to hold the back of Qiuya's head, and pressed his head back to his shoulder: "I keep eating curry, I don't care if you vomit after eating it."

"..." Originally, I just watched Dazai go to a curry shop, maybe he likes to eat curry.Qiu, who planned to learn to make him happy, was forced to return to Dazai's arms, cursing in his heart by the way.

"Speaking of Qiuya, the night outside the window is beautiful."

"Well, it's beautiful." Qiu Ye raised her head and looked at the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

"Then, let's die for love." After more than two months, Dazai once again proposed to die for love, "How about jumping off this balcony under this beautiful moonlight?"

"Your life span is beyond the present..." Qiu Ye sighed softly, with the same reason for rejection as before, "So you won't die if you jump off, and I don't know if I will die. But, what is certain is that Sacrifice failed."

He thought about the new vocabulary Dazai used recently.

"It's 'lost cup'."

He raised his head from Dazai's shoulder, looked at the bandaged eye, and stretched out his hand to pull the bandage away.Looking at the very beautiful iris eyes, Qiu also smiled and said, "If you jump down now, I won't be with you, but if you choose to live, I will be with you, always."

"..."

Dazai let go of his embrace, looked at Qiuya's face in silence for a long time, the same night, the same moon scene as two months ago, the same hangover feeling as two months ago.

In the end, he dragged his tone, and said in a tone as if he was cheating: "Ahhh—I want it."

"What do you want?" Qiu Ye asked suspiciously.

The same natural stay as two months ago.

Finally Dazai finished his conclusion and buried his face in Shuya's shoulder.

"Dazai...?" Shuya looked at the fluffy head on his shoulder, and softly called his name.The other party didn't respond, just stayed on his shoulder, moving from time to time.

"Hiss—" After a while, he couldn't help but gasped, that guy Dazai suddenly bit his shoulder for some reason.Because just now Dazai had been resting his head on Qiuya's shoulder, and the behavior of moving it from time to time made his neckline loose, and this bite was directly on the meat.

He pushed the other person, but even though this bad-behaved man was pushed, he continued to bite the piece of meat on Qiu Ye's shoulder, causing Qiu Ye to burst into tears.

"Relax." Qiu Ye, who couldn't help it anymore, and felt that he was about to be bitten and bleed, said in a low voice, his voice was crying because of the pain.

"..." There was still no response, Dazai didn't let go until he clearly felt the smell of iron in his mouth.

Now that something is in hand, it will be lost in the next moment.Then if you mark it, you can find it faster and then own it again.

"Let's go, I'll bandage it for you." The man who just finished his bad behavior said in a relaxed tone.Then I got Shuya's distrustful look.

"Are you suffering from rabies?" Qiu Ye whispered while holding down the bitten shoulder.The tears from the pain still hang on the eyelids.

"Sorry, sorry~" The man's tone was relaxed, and he raised his hand to wipe away Qiuya's tears without remorse, and then pushed him into the bathroom, "After all, it's a wild dog, isn't it?"

"...you are such a bad man."

"Yeah." Dazai agreed, pushed Shuya to sit on the small bench, and reached for the new bandages stored behind the mirror cabinet.Following his movements, a leaf in an evidence bag that was originally in his pocket fell out.

"This, it fell." Shuya picked up the evidence bag with his uninjured hand, lifted it up and handed it back to Dazai.

"Ah, I almost forgot about this." Dazai took the evidence bag, and asked casually, "Speaking of which, can Qiu also know which tree the leaves are from?"

Qiu also turned his head away and closed his eyes.This is very likely to be a matter of the mafia, although he promised that Dazai would look away from his identity, but this does not mean that he will be willing to help.

And just now Dazai's behavior was too bad, he just saw the wound on his shoulder from the mirror, and this guy has already bitten a bloody tooth mark.

"Shuya, that might be about Odasaku."

"..." Qiu Ye opened one eye, looked at the evidence bag out of the corner of his eye, and finally reached out to take it.

"It belonged to a maple tree in Mori Park in Naka Ward, Yokohama, next to the abandoned church there."
