Luo Shengmeng has no feelings today

In theory, and from Dun's point of view, his proposal is actually correct.

The group wants to find the [Book] hidden somewhere in Yokohama, a miracle book that is said to turn words into reality.

Francis personally called the white tiger Atsushi Nakajima a signpost, and spent 70 billion on the black market to reward Atsushi, and even took the entire organization to Yokohama to find that existence. Obviously, he wanted to get what he dreamed of no matter what the cost. Things...even if it means burning down Yokohama completely.

Even if countless innocent people are implicated, he will definitely not be soft-hearted. It is hard to imagine that such a man will stop after one failure. Rather... a man who has already made such a horrifying and cruel decision once will definitely not have a good plan for his next move. Where to go.

Combination—no, Francis as the leader, because of his eagerness [wish] and his subordinates suffered a lot of damage during the stalemate between Yokohama and the other two supernatural organizations, so he can't wait to get rid of the port black hand who hindered him at once Party and Armed Detective Agency.

This is no longer just a situation where the three organizations with different abilities are fighting.

Instead, it involves the city of Yokohama, their hometown, and a major crisis related to the interests and living conditions of all of them in Yokohama.

—has almost turned into [war].

Q is still in the hands of the opponent, no matter what, they must be stopped before the combination performs [Operation Yokohama Burnout] again.

And at this time, if the port mafia, also organized by Yokohama, confronts the armed detective agency again, it will undoubtedly damage [protect Yokohama]'s combat power and be an extremely irrational behavior.

Under the premise of having common interests and common enemies, cooperation is the best choice.

Even in national wars, there will always be a saying that "the enemy of the enemy is a companion". No matter how much you can't understand each other, it is not uncommon for the two sides to sign a cooperation agreement and temporarily truce before the arrival of an unpredictable disaster.

——Leaving aside the relationship of combat power after the cooperation, just one point: at least the detective agency does not have to worry about being attacked by the port mafia when it is fighting the combination with all its strength.

It can be said that it is no longer the struggle of the three supernatural organizations, but the struggle of uniting against the foreign aggression organization that intends to destroy Yokohama.

The hatred between organizations, and the protection of Yokohama, where they are based, is obviously more important than the latter.

This point, most people understand.

But, as Tun himself said: It's a very [outrageous] idea.

Many people in the detective agency have been persecuted by the Mafia, especially Atsushi Nakajima. He is one of the most unforgivable members of the Mafia.

Not only was he hunted down by the mafia when he was wanted by the black market for 70 billion, he was also seriously injured more than once; Jinghua, who he mustered up the courage to save, can't get rid of the shadow of the mafia now; He almost killed his important companion... It is natural for Atsushi Nakajima, who has nowhere to go and regards the detective agency as a shelter, to hate and reject the Mafia.

But at the same time, it is precisely because Atsushi Nakajima, who has been persecuted by the Mafia, put down his hatred and rationally put forward such a suggestion, so it is of reference value.

And... it does make sense.

however.

This has nothing to do with Akutagawa Ryunosuke.

Unlike the gentle and kind Atsushi Nakajima who cherishes every life, Ryunosuke Akutagawa is much more ruthless.

Once said that "the weak are not qualified to live" so indifferently, Akutagawa cared more about "hatred" than most existences, and the strong "killing intent" derived from hatred was not only the first to ignite the unintentional dog The fuel of his inner feelings is his deep-rooted philosophy of action, which is now an adult.

Although he doesn't want Yokohama to be destroyed, he also doesn't accept cooperation with the port mafia. If Ryunosuke Akutagawa had to choose between a city and his family, he would choose the latter without hesitation, even if he sacrificed tens of millions of people. type of burden.

Not a nice guy.

Therefore, it is almost nonsense to make Akutagawa Ryunosuke accept his [killing intent] target as a temporary companion—unless an important person who can influence Akutagawa's judgment personally blocks it, it is absolutely impossible.

Apparently, Tun wasn't qualified enough, and no one at the detective agency was.

But no matter what decision the detective agency makes, it has nothing to do with Akutagawa Ryunosuke.

Because after all, Akutagawa Ryunosuke is not a member of the Armed Detective Agency.

Whether or not the two organizations cooperate does not prevent Akutagawa himself from taking revenge. It is just that he cannot rely on the power of the detective agency that has reached an agreement with the Mafia, but that does not matter. Although it is a bit troublesome, Akutagawa Ryunosuke still has a way to solve it. .

It was just a subconscious impulse to beat Dun out and step on his feet.

Because Akutagawa regarded the detective agency as a temporary partner, he was annoyed when he heard this suggestion.

But he calmed down quickly, moved his legs away, and took a step back, his expression as cold as ice.

Dun who slowly got up rubbing his head obviously understood this too.

Having seen with his own eyes Akutagawa Ryunosuke's ferocious expression when he hugged his unconscious sister, and feeling the killing intent revealed by the young man, Atsushi knows Akutagawa's thoughts very well.

It is impossible to persuade him to give up... Even Atsushi himself cannot really let go of his grudge against the Mafia, let alone Akutagawa Ryunosuke.

"Mr. Akutagawa, please listen to me."

Dun looked seriously at the black-haired youth in front of him.

"I'm not telling you to give up revenge, but right now, Yokohama is in crisis...the leader of the group said so——"

After telling Francis' purpose, Atsushi took a step forward, his unique purple-gold eyes looked seriously at Akutagawa's cold and dark pupils, he mustered up his courage, and used the eloquence praised by Akutagawa Ryunosuke a few minutes ago Rationally analyze the status quo and put forward reasons for cooperation.

An enemy of an enemy is a companion.

More important than personal enmity is the safety of Yokohama.

"Mr. Akutagawa must understand, right? Although, although I don't approve of revenge...but this is Mr. Akutagawa's decision. I have no right to interfere, but..."

"Sensei doesn't want Yokohama to be destroyed either...?"

He was uneasy: "The cooperation period is until the team is defeated, so—"

"I refuse."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke turned sideways without hesitation, and answered indifferently.

"Eh?"

"Indeed, as you said, in this case, in theory, it would be better to cooperate with the port mafia to fight the combination...but it's a pity."

Akutagawa said, "I'm different from you."

"Although I don't want to see Yokohama destroyed, but compared to hatred... I will never force myself to compromise for this, let alone—"

"This is the decision of your detective agency, and has nothing to do with me."

Dun froze in place.

By the way, Mr. Akutagawa is not a member of the detective agency,

Atsushi Nakajima would always ignore this, especially when the other party had just risked himself to save himself from the white whale and helped take down the cursed doll for the sake of Yokohama, so Atsushi thought that Mr. Akutagawa also valued Yokohama.

But now, if Ryunosuke Akutagawa is too cold and heartless, Atsushi, who regards Ryunosuke as a respectable senior and a reliable companion, is a little bit shocked.

And the black-haired, black-eyed young man tilted his head slightly, expressionless, as if he didn't care about the other party's thoughts at all:

"Sorry, I just attacked you, your proposal should not be vetoed by the subordinates, so - do whatever you want."

Akutagawa turned around, glanced at Osamu Dazai calmly, and then walked out.

Dun hurriedly said: "Wait a minute! Mr. Akutagawa!"

"If you are avenging the mafia now, there is no point in cooperating. Mr. Akutagawa is a strong supernatural power user, and can almost be called the fourth existence among the three supernatural organizations. The port mafia wants to resist you If there is an attack, he will not send out his internal superpowers at all. In addition, Akutagawa's natural alliance with the detective agency in the early stage, if Mr. Akutagawa does it now, the proposal of cooperation with the mafia will be shattered at the very beginning! Having said so much, I don't mean to stop you from revenge, but at least wait until the matter is over before doing it—"

Akutagawa Ryunosuke stopped and looked at him: "Do you really think the Port Mafia is credible?"

"Yes." Dun said seriously: "Because they are the organization that most want to protect the city of Yokohama."

"..."

"This is related to the lives of thousands of people in Yokohama. Even if you don't mention this, Mr. Oda and Mr. Dazai, are they all your friends? Sayaka is also a member of the detective agency, Yokohama is your hometown! If If Sayaka is here, I will definitely advise you to think more about it."

"And, after the matter is over, if Mr. Akutagawa still wants revenge, then I will definitely lend you my strength, because Mr. Akutagawa was involved because of the detective agency, and I can't let you do it alone Such a dangerous thing, so, at least for now—"

"Don't mention Sayaka." Akutagawa looked a little ugly: "I shouldn't let her work in a detective agency in the first place."

Impulsively, he blurted out: "No, it's because I shouldn't have known all of you at all."

Teacher R, are friends really that important?

Or... is it stupid that I can't know the trade-offs like you, and can't balance the relationship between the two, what should I do?

Akutagawa vaguely felt that he regretted it.

You shouldn't know Oda Sakunosuke, you shouldn't know Dazai Osamu, and you shouldn't have anything to do with the Armed Detective Agency.

That way... I wouldn't almost kill my family.

Will not almost kill his own sister.

But... Are friends really unimportant?

No.

At least, if Akutagawa Ryunosuke was asked to break off friendship with Oda Sakunosuke, he couldn't do it.

Sincere friendship is very precious and hard to part with. It's not that Akutagawa doesn't value friendship, otherwise, he wouldn't look at the other party's face again and again, and help without complaint.

It's not just him who pays unilaterally, Oda Sakunosuke will also help with things big and small.For example, Akutagawa Ryunosuke would never tell them anything about himself because he didn't want his family to worry, but Odasaku was different. Although that man usually looked a little natural, he had a high EQ and was loved by his family. Seeing that the wound that will definitely cause trouble is replaced by Oda Sakunosuke, this man will only be stunned for a while, and then he calmly tells Akutagawa to take care of his body, and then looks at Akutagawa's expression. After a while, he will not ask anything, it is just very natural Remind the other party what not to eat or drink.

Although they will not tell each other the truth, Akutagawa and Oda Saku get along very easily.Not only that, the friendship between the Oda family and the Akutagawa family is very close from the parents to the members of the family.

The most important point - this is what Mr. R once said.

Even if there is only this point, Akutagawa will never really reject the existence of friends, not to mention that the friendship for many years is not broken just by saying, and in addition, the current situation is not caused by the other party intentionally.

Akutagawa knew very well that this was not their fault.

Right now... he's just talking angry because of his suppressed emotions.

Because the more important existence was injured, depression and killing intent had been accumulating in his chest, and he couldn't get rid of it for a long time, and even started to make him start to hate randomly for no reason.

[Radical] and [Indifference].

This is a deep-rooted problem in Akutagawa's character. It is not without side effects to transform from an emotionless and heartless dog back to a human being. At least, for Akutagawa Ryunosuke, negative emotions often have a greater impact on him.

Calmness is just a mask that he forced himself to wear under the teaching and request of Mr. R. Once he got used to wearing the mask, it became his appearance. However, when encountering the real critical moment, the essential character and thinking will always break through Drop that camouflage and surface.

Akutagawa-sensei, who is mature, stable and reliable on weekdays, just has never encountered anything that can tear off the mask.

The last time I said it was when I had just left Mr. R's side.

Akutagawa and Atsushi are essentially different.

Akutagawa knew from the first time they met each other that although they were similar, they couldn't get along.

To be precise, it was Akutagawa who unilaterally couldn't get along with Atsushi. The gentle Atsushi Nakajima would never hate each other for no reason. Most of the time, he was more willing to think about the other party's behavior from a gentle perspective. They rarely reply with the same sharp emotions, but are more tolerant.

The wild dog who came out from the bottom with muddy body and mind, and the white tiger who also came from the bottom but still maintained his innocence and gentleness.

One black and one white, attract each other but are out of tune.

Nakajima Atsushi really likes Akutagawa's works, and also respects Akutagawa Ryunosuke, a great teacher.

But now, he was really angry because of what his respected Akutagawa-sensei just said.

"Mr. Akutagawa, no! Ryunosuke Akutagawa—!"

He was so angry that he withdrew his honorifics, and called out the other party's name loudly.

"Stop joking! Is it possible to say such a thing!?"

Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who had regained his sanity the moment he said it, and was annoyed at his unrestrained speech, was strode forward by Atsushi, and grabbed his collar tightly.

"Don't insult Sayaka, don't insult yourself!"

"No matter what you say, whether it is me, Mr. Oda and Mr. Dazai, or everyone in the detective agency, I will definitely not regret meeting you and Sayaka! You are not the only one who is angry. Everyone in the detective agency knew you When something goes wrong, anger is not weaker than you at all! Since you are a reliable and rational teacher, don't give up your calmness at critical moments! Analyze rationally like you did in Moby Whale just now!"

"The relationship between people, don't give up so easily, I respect you so much, I look forward to meeting you so much, whether Mr. Dazai or Mr. Oda, they must treat you the same , if you let go of everything, Akutagawa...wouldn't you be too lonely?"

"You guy... Every time I see you alone, I feel that you have a strange feeling of loneliness, as if you are doing something alone that other people can't share or tell, although probably It's my illusion... But, but, when you are with Oda-san and Dazai-san, this feeling will be weakened a lot, so, even for yourself—”

Obviously he was the one who was so angry that he yelled at the beginning, but at the end of Aunt's words, the pair of purple-gold eyes that were staring at Akutagawa with a slightly dazed expression were almost so sad that he was about to cry.

"Don't say such a thing! You idiot...!"
