Did Chief Jae successfully finish the script today?
Chapter 11 Chief Zai: I Seem to Be Tricked
This time, finally, there was no follow-up to dreaming of another world.
Knowing that he was in a coma, the leader Zai thought calmly, this is an improvement, anyway, he has long been sure that his calculations are not wrong, so there is no need to look at the things in that world, otherwise it will make people a little irritated .
Might be able to sleep peacefully.
Just as he was thinking this way, an inexplicable memory appeared again—this time it was not a continuation, but something that happened in the past.
Lupine bar in hazy warm tones.
Before everything was over, "Osamu Dazai" still couldn't resist going to the bar where he should have met his friends. This was the first official meeting between him and Sakunosuke Oda.
As a matter of course, they didn't know each other, and they were in hostile positions. The meeting between the two people who had a lot of misunderstandings was not very pleasant. After a few words of conversation, the red-haired man pulled out a pistol and pointed it at him.
"I even wanted to bring the cannon, but unfortunately I only have this in my hand."
"Take the pistol away."
"Impossible suggestion—after all, the opponent is the embodiment of the night of this street, the head of the port mafia. If this meeting itself is a trap, it must be so."
"I never thought of setting a trap for you."
"What's your purpose?"
"My purpose is to protect this world! This world is just one of countless worlds, and in the other—the original world, you and I are friends, drinking in this bar and chatting about boring things to pass the time... ..."
"Even if this is the case, what you did to Akutagawa will not be erased."
"Odasaku, listen to me, I'm—"
"Also, don't call me Odasaku, there is no reason for the enemy to call me that."
"..."
The meeting between the two broke up badly. At his request, the other party did not shoot at the bar with special meaning that only he knew.
Of course, not after he went out.
At that time, he said, "The life of someone who can say goodbye is a good life. If the other party can feel sad for such a goodbye, there is nothing else to ask for."
He himself agrees with this sentence, but even if he went to see Oda Sakunosuke, it was not his "salvation", it was just because of the script.
It's so sad.
After all, he didn't even have one person who was sincere and wanted to say goodbye.
No, it can't be said that there is nothing at all, there is a little bit of wanting to say goodbye to that person, but this is just thinking about it.
It is impossible for him to do such an OOC behavior, not to mention that this idea is not strong, so in the end, it naturally followed the script to the end.
Inexplicably, the leader Zai felt an unspeakable irritability again. This kind of memory killing is really annoying.
For a person who wants to die, this behavior of repeatedly jumping out to brush up his presence, as if pulling a banner saying "cherish life, stay away from suicide", is really annoying.
Could it be that giving him an Assassin Oda Sakunosuke is to make him make up for his regrets and make friends with this person?
That's really a pity, in fact, he is not that interested in Oda Sakunosuke... Or, compared to this person, he is more interested in Oda Sakunosuke's literary works, but unfortunately he couldn't read it because of the tight schedule arrive.
The leader Zai thought indifferently, after all, he summoned five children who died, who killed someone and broke the precept, thinking that he lost the meaning of life and lost the qualification to pursue his dream. It is impossible to write novels for him.
So, give it to Wu Zhenzai.
He thought, the Holy Grail is very likely to be real, as long as the strong join forces, a mere Holy Grail battle is no problem, and then let this Oda Tsukuru and Butei Zai fight together.
Anyway, for him, this is just a matter of convenience.
It's as if he would change the enemy's route in order to allow Zhongye to participate in the auto show, give away some of her favorite necklaces when collecting the spoils, give away the red leaf kimono shop when expanding business, and let Jinghua go to own The mission is near the famous yutofu shop, so the cafeteria is always ready for Atsushi's favorite ochazuke...
Since it is a small matter and it is not troublesome to do it, the leader Zai often kills multiple birds with one stone. Only when his employees are motivated can he be able to develop the port Mafia well and execute a good script, otherwise he will be sleepless and exhausted. It is also difficult to hold up the entire organization.
What's more, everyone is a paper person that he likes very much. This is the benefit of the paper person.
Thinking of this, the leader Zai couldn't help sighing, trying to wake himself up.
Now for Buteizai and this Odasaku, he should work hard for now!
Of course, if the opponent is too buggy, some kind of existence such as the oldest king, the queen of the country of shadows, then he has no choice but to just ask for death.
The first time he opened it, what he saw was the familiar ceiling of the infirmary. He and the ward of the detective agency were really destined.
He felt that the wound on his abdomen had been healed. Apart from the weakness and a little dizziness after losing too much blood, he was not seriously injured. At least if he wanted to fight the Holy Grail War, he should be able to play.
No, you can't draw conclusions so early, there may be false holy grails, polluted holy grails, singularities and other strange situations.
The tired leader sat up from the bed, and was about to get up when the door opened, and two people walked in, one in front of one and the other in the back. It was Oda Sakunosuke and Butei Zai who had been summoned by him.
"Look, Odasaku, did I say there's no need to rush? Looks like he just woke up!"
Takenzai happily raised the lunch box in his hand, and dragged Odasaku in affectionately.
"We packed crab porridge for you! It tastes amazing! You have to thank me, they didn't allow you to eat this when you were injured."
"……Oh."
The leader Zai nodded indifferently. He admitted that after becoming "Dazai Osamu", he also liked the taste of crab meat. Maybe it's because the taste buds of this body have a wonderful chemical reaction with crab meat?
However, as far as his own habits are concerned, he prefers hot food, rice bowls, finger cakes, steamed buns and other Chinese food to cold food such as sukiyaki noodles and sashimi. point.
It’s not that crab meat is not tasty, but that it’s always uncomfortable to change a certain habit abruptly, not to mention that it’s impossible for him to directly ask for Chinese food. What “Osamu Dazai” wants to eat should always be crab dishes ——By the way, spicy curry can also be added.
Wait, if you think about it this way, now that the script is finished, he doesn't seem to have to worry too much about the character design, right?Although crab meat is delicious, it’s okay to eat Chinese food once in a while, right?It's been a long time since he had eaten Xiaolongshengjian, flatbread fried dough sticks.
The leader Jae thought about this problem seriously, and found that this could be possible.
In the past, because he had to stay in the Mafia building in the port, he couldn't go out to steal food, and he couldn't let the private chef and others pack it for him, but now it's no problem!Wouldn't it be good to avoid people?So as not to be seen as not original.
It doesn't matter to him if he is called to reveal his identity, but he just needs to think about the existence of the "book" and let the third person know that the world will be unstable, and let the fourth person know that it will destroy this setting... He thinks it is better to be cautious, Isn't this essentially like "the person inside the box knows the world outside the box"?
If this is the case, if the two-dimensional and three-dimensional problems are speculated by so many people here who are wise and close to demons, I don’t know if the space barrier can hold up. If the world is destroyed, then his sin will be great.
Not worth it for one bite.
Be careful in front of them, and wait until you are alone before stealing some food.
The leader Zai was distracted while taking the packaged crab porridge and started eating it. It tasted pretty good.
"Speaking of which, although you are also me, we seem to be different."
Wu Jingzai sat aside and looked at the leader Zai with his chin in his hand, sizing him up thoughtfully.
"You are only surprised but not confused by the thing that suddenly appeared in your hand. You already knew that there is the Holy Grail, and there are things like magic magic?"
"Looks like you already know."
"That's right! This is all thanks to Odasaku."
"Because the Holy Grail will instill common sense and basic knowledge in the servants when they are summoned to the present world, so I told Dazai."
The speaking Oda Sakunosuke looked at the leader Zai with complicated eyes. He has become a heroic spirit and is different from a human body. Even though his current master consciousness is the Oda Saku who knew Butei Zai, but he also has other "Oda work" memory.
Although this memory is like flipping through the records in a diary or watching a TV show, it doesn't feel much real, but he does remember it, so...
"Dazai..."
"Huh? What's wrong, Odasaku?"
It was Butei Zai who answered Oda Sakunosuke, which made him feel a little embarrassed. He actually wanted to talk to the leader Zai!However, he noticed that the leader Zai still had a calm expression on his face, and he didn't respond to his words at all, not even a slight movement of turning his head or moving his eyes over.
He couldn't help but feel a little headache - the leader seemed to have excluded himself from the very beginning, whether it was his words or the world.
This cub is also very problematic.
Oda Sakunosuke sighed inwardly, he was very relieved to see Butei Zai who had walked into the sunlight, and thought he could breathe a little sigh of relief, but he turned around and ran into a Zai with even bigger problems.
The leader Zai, who didn't know that the other party had also received the memories of the parallel world, realized that he was talking to him when he felt Oda Sakunosuke's eyes fall on him.
It just so happened that he also had questions he wanted to ask.
"I do know some information about the Holy Grail War, but because I have not participated in it, I am not sure whether it is true or not. I need to sort out the information with Mr. Oda Z..."
Because it was too fluent, and because Taken Zai led him away before, the leader Zai accidentally called out the name "Oda Tsukuru" again, but fortunately he reacted in time.
After all, they are enemies.
He thought, if it was an original product, maybe he would continue to call it "Odasaku" regardless?This may be the other party's insistence, but he does not have such stubbornness, so we still have to respect the other party's ideas.
Hearing the title "Mr. Oda", Oda Saku was about to open his mouth to say something, but at this moment he was stuck, and then he swallowed what he wanted to say, and said: "You can call me Oda Saku, Dazai, we are friends."
"No, you've got the wrong person."
The leader Zai raised his eyes, his pupils were full of emptiness, and he pointed to Wu Jingzai beside him.
"He's your friend, and I'm the former head of Port Mafia."
Right, that is it.
There is no reason, Mr. Oda is right, there is no reason to be called so intimately by the enemy, and he naturally has no reason to use this nickname to call his "enemy".
"We are enemies, Oda-san."
"..."
After hearing this answer, Oda Sakunosuke was silent, and he showed a clear expression.
In the lupine bar in another world, that "Oda Saku" responded to the leader Zai in this way, so, is he now getting retribution?
This is not going to work, we must break the deadlock.
He in that world is unreliable, and there is no way to rely on him, so he is the only one on his own.
In the past, he had been adhering to the sense of proportion between people, thinking that it would be better, and he didn't rashly break into Wu Jingzai's heart after becoming friends.It wasn't until before he died that he regretted that he hadn't taken Dazai out of the darkness earlier, so at this moment he gave up the way of keeping a distance from each other.
The red-haired man stretched out his hand for the pistol at his waist, and the leader Zai watched him calmly, showing no extra expression.
"If you want to shoot, just shoot, it doesn't matter here."
"No, it's not like that."
Knowing that he had been entangled, Oda Saku put his pistol into the hand of the leader Zai, and under the astonished eyes of the other party, he said seriously: "That I was too much to you, we are all one person in a sense, so I want to apologize to you."
"???"
Then why did you stuff me with a pistol?
The leader is at a loss, Odasaku is not a suicide enthusiast, and his attitude is almost because they were hostile and hated at that time, what does this Odasaku who has nothing to do with these things want to do now?
"You can point him at me." Oda Sakunosuke Chen Ken said, "Sorry, Dazai."
"..."
Sure enough, he is the pure and unpretentious Oda Sakunosuke who is always unexpected.
This kind of apology is really fresh and refined. It has never been seen or heard before.
The leader Zai shook his head, put the pistol back into Oda Sakunosuke's hand, and said indifferently: "That has nothing to do with you, you are just the same body, but not a person."
"Oh, then I'm relieved."
Oda Sakunosuke retracted the pistol in seconds. He was not being hypocritical, but he was just worried that if the gun stayed with the leader for a while, maybe the other party would commit suicide with the gun, so he had to be careful.
"Then let me introduce myself again. I am Sakunosuke Oda. This time I came as an Assassin. I used to be a low-level member of the port mafia. My abilities are perfect. I hope to become friends with you. It is the first time I meet, please give me your advice."
"..."
The leader Zai Wuyu and Oda Sakunosuke looked at each other, the red-haired man looked back calmly, the meaning in his eyes was obvious—since everyone said that he was not alone and had nothing to do with him, then naturally it should be a stranger who re-acquainted and re-acquainted. Make friends.
At this moment, the leader Zai suddenly felt that he had been tricked.
Is Odasaku's scheming so deep?Or is this guy a natural black?
Knowing that he was in a coma, the leader Zai thought calmly, this is an improvement, anyway, he has long been sure that his calculations are not wrong, so there is no need to look at the things in that world, otherwise it will make people a little irritated .
Might be able to sleep peacefully.
