Casablanca dedicated to Mr. Nakahara

After packing up his mood and returning to the parking lot, Chuya Nakahara took out his mobile phone after getting in the car.After some hesitation, he sent a blank email to Qianli.

……

Stupid me.

[To: thousands of miles]

[Driving, mishandling. ]

[have you slept? ]

[From: Qianli]

[not yet. ]

Chuya Nakahara started the car and typed with one hand. When the car left the parking lot, he received a new email from Qianli.If Osamu Dazai hadn't come out to disrupt the situation tonight, it might take him a while to officially confirm his intentions.Now this ignorant feeling that has been hidden for six years has broken out of its shell as a polished pearl, and the reasons for all kinds of behaviors that cannot be justified have finally been found.

Because I like it, I keep following this person.

Because of liking, the existence of the other party is particularly special.

The orange-haired youth ignored the speed limit signs on both sides of the road, and it took three to ten minutes to reach the mountain tea house.Stepping into the hotel gate, he paused for a moment.I don't know if it's an illusion, but there is a trace of extremely faint murderous intent and filthy power that does not belong to the human side in the air.

Looking across the reception, the staff on duty are battling drowsiness.Zhong Yuanzhong also went around to the other side of the corridor, and a warm yellow bamboo lamp was lit in the stairwell leading to the second floor.He went straight to [Yamazakura] on the fourth floor, and as the distance got closer, the filthy power he had felt before became clearer.Some unknown changes happened under the seemingly normal appearance, just during the time he was away.

Standing at the door and about to knock, the room suddenly opened, and Mori Ogai's face appeared behind the door.

Nakahara couldn't help but think of what Osamu Dazai said, "Mr. Mori is your biggest obstacle."

"...Excuse me, I'm looking for Qianli."

"Wait a minute, I'll call him." Mori Ogai closed the door with a smile, his eyes were more scrutinizing.

Zhong Yuan, who was left in the corridor, also had a heartbeat like a drum. He never doubted the leader's insight.With just one face-to-face meeting, I am afraid that my inner thoughts have been fully exposed.

When Mori Ogai reappeared, before Nakahara Chuya could speak, he took control of the night talk with a single sentence. "Would you like to talk to me? Chuya-kun, now is not the best time to confess."

Half a minute later, the two sat down at the low table in the living room.Alice stayed in the bedroom to take care of Chisato, and Mori Ogai could only make two cups of hot tea by himself.

"Nakaya-kun, is it Dazai-kun who contacted you?"

The leader who is well versed in negotiation asked this question in a declarative tone.

"...Hmm." Zhongyuan Zhong also pressed the brim of his hat, and then cast out his inner doubts. "When did you know?"

"It's the first time you took the initiative to find me without receiving a summons order, and the purpose was to find out about Sensato-kun's whereabouts." Mori Ogai took a sip from the teacup, and then put it back in place. "Combined with the way you usually deal with interpersonal communication, the answer is obvious. We have known each other for less than two years, and we rarely see each other. This level of care is obviously beyond the scope of ordinary friends. You didn't realize this at the time, and Mr. Zhongye also had considerable On the dull side."

The ridicule from the leader made Zhongyuan Zhong feel hot. He cleared his throat and asked, "Then why did you stop me from meeting Qianli? Is it because the person I like is of the same sex? Have a bad effect?"

"Neither." Mori Ogai folded his hands under his chin, and when his eyes touched the bedroom door, there was undisguised worry in his eyes.

"The child's mental state is extremely unstable, and you can understand it as a dormant volcano. This situation has been going on for many years, and his sleep time in the three seasons of spring, summer, and autumn combined does not exceed ten days. Because of a certain Experience, Mr. Qianli suffers from severe post-traumatic stress disorder. Medications don’t help, and he resists medical methods related to psychology. He couldn’t hold on anymore, so he took a sedative from me.

"Mr. Zhongye, I hope that his first love will be based on the resolution of his psychological problems. No one can guarantee that you can transition from dating to marriage smoothly. After the breakup, compared to you with a free and easy personality, it may be difficult for Qianli-kun to get out. He is not only someone you like, but also a patient."

Nakahara Chuya clenched his fists with a solemn expression. He couldn't help but want to accompany that person even for a few seconds after hearing Mori Ogai's heart-to-heart words.

"...I don't know, Qianli didn't tell me these things."

"That kid never shows his vulnerability in front of others, and he is quite unwilling to admit defeat. To help me, he has worked hard all these years." Mori Ogai sighed with emotion while holding his teacup, and then added: "I let him be the The guard, the traitor in charge of cleaning up the organization, aims to accumulate seniority and avoid long-term business trips as much as possible. After being promoted to a cadre, there are even fewer tasks assigned, but it is a pity that his mental state has not eased. At best, he can only guarantee that he will not change. It's even worse. Nakaya-kun, can you tell me your future plans?"

After half a minute of silence, Zhong Yuanzhong also said softly: "...I understand, as you wish, I will wait patiently."

Mori Ogai glanced at him appreciatively, very satisfied with the outcome of this conversation. "Don't worry, Mr. Zhongye. I assure you, as long as Qianli's problem is solved, I will never interfere."

"Boss, I want to know what Qianli means to you?" Zhong Yuan Zhong also stared at the man in front of him. The attitude shown by the other party is not simply that the leader cares about his subordinates, but there are other unknown factors in it .

"It's the responsibility." Mori Ogai smiled.

— Kinship?

Zhong Yuanzhong was also stunned for a moment, then got up and took off his hat to salute. "I will never let you down, please give me more advice in the future."

Mori Ogai opened his eyes slightly, and couldn't help laughing.It looks like I was misunderstood, but it's not bad. "It's getting late, go to bed early."

"I, can I go and see him?"

"Qianli-kun has fallen asleep, I gave him medicine. Alice is taking care of him inside, I think he should not want you to see his face when he is unconscious."

"...Then I will take my leave first."

"Go."

When Chisato regained consciousness, he had already returned to the mansion in Yokohama. According to Oda Shinichi, the leader sent him back in person.

After washing up, he ate some breakfast, and after sleeping for a whole week, Chisato opened the shoji door of the bedroom.After getting enough sleep, he only felt that his body was much lighter, and the exhaustion accumulated in the past few days was gone.

"Lord Qianli!"

Takahashi Kazuko appeared at the end of the corridor, and a man in a white coat was walking quickly.He has always paid attention to appearance, his rare beard is sloppy, and his elegant face is also greatly compromised by the dark circles under his eyes.

"You're finally awake."

Qianli looked sideways and said, "Well, I have troubled you these few days."

"It's a matter of duty, are you resting well?" Takahashi Kazuko asked gently.When Oda Shinichi informed him, he was processing official documents in the headquarters building, and some of the urgent documents should have been reviewed by Qianli before submitting them to the top.The boss can't wake up, and the subordinates can only bite the bullet and consider remedial measures.Simply, such emergencies did not occur once or twice, both he and Oda Shinichi had experience in dealing with them.

"Not bad." After speaking, Qianli's eyes fell on the study room next to the wall, where there were signs of strangers coming and going. "The guards have been transferred?"

Takahashi Heguang nodded and said, "It's what the leader means."

"Let them go back, I don't need protection here."

"I was about to tell you about this. In fact, the leader only took a driver and slipped out of the headquarters building."

"...Have you found the location?"

"I let the intelligence department hack into his mobile phone, and the current displayed location is the dress store in Sen's mall."

"Prepare the car."

As soon as the words fell, Chisato received an email from Mori Ogai.

[From: Mori running]

[Qianli-jun, Alice wants you to help her choose a dress for the dinner party. ]

[Don't refuse, she is still thinking about the glass slipper. ]

[Ps: Change into a suit suitable for going out, and you have to accompany you all the way. ]

Ten minutes later, Mori Ogai met Chisato who had been late in the parking lot of the shopping mall.The young man was dressed exactly the same as usual, the only difference was that the Prajna ghost mask was replaced by a more normal cat mask.

"Give me a reason not to break your leg." Qianli said coldly.

Smiling, Mori Ogai took out a fox mask from his white coat and put it on for himself, and gave Alice a rabbit mask. This prepared appearance almost made Chisato laugh angrily.

"It's been almost two years since the last time we went shopping together in a 'normal' way. Would you like to have a cup of coffee with me?"

"You promise not to sneak away this year."

"make a deal."

After the three of them walked into the elevator, two expensive imported cars drove into the quiet parking lot one after another - the silver-gray GLS450 and the black S450L.
