Yokohama At-Large Judgment

"You can stay by my side every day"

"Correct."

"even every night"

"Stay by your side at all times, as long as you don't get bored."

"What do you call it?"

"Loyalty."

"Where does this kind of loyalty come from?"

"From my irrepressible affection for you."

—— "La Traviata"

Akutagawa Ryunosuke closed the book in his hand, put it back on the table, rubbed his forehead, and felt a headache when he saw the brightly colored book on it.

Miyo Tokio seldom took the initiative to find him once, and asked him to help buy books. He found three stores before buying this light novel that was said to be quite popular.

For some feelings that he didn't want to think about, Akutagawa Ryunosuke bought a copy for himself, intending to see what Miyo Tokio was usually reading.

In short, he regrets it very much now. He should have given up in time when he heard the title of the book "I became a girl after waking up in the morning, anyway, let my brother be happy first".

On the cover, the beautiful girl in cool and shy blushing stared at him like this, making Akutagawa Ryunosuke upset, but he didn't want to lose this opportunity to communicate with Miyo Tokio.

He sighed, and picked up the book again.

"...Why does he like this kind of thing?" Akutagawa Ryunosuke sighed, and stopped at the place where the male protagonist became dazed when he turned into a girl, and immediately began to excitedly try on women's clothing.

"what do you like?"

A very close voice rang in Akutagawa Ryunosuke's ear, Akutagawa Ryunosuke was stunned for a moment, then stood up with a strong reaction, the book that was originally held in his hand was swallowed by the fluttering Rashomon.

Tokio naturally sat down in his original position, propped his legs and turned the swivel chair twice, and looked at Ryunosuke Akutagawa with a smile, "I didn't expect Ryunosuke-kun to be interested in this."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke was speechless, but his self-esteem made him unable to say anything, so he said coldly, "Why are you here?"

"Me?" Tokio smiled, stood up from the chair, took two quick steps in the direction of Akutagawa Ryunosuke, and came in front of him, "Of course I came here specially to see you, Ryunosuke-kun. "

"..."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke was stunned, holding his with some cold and soft hands, intertwining his fingers gently, the boy raised the corner of his mouth at him, and said briskly, "Ryunosuke-kun likes to treat you like this. Bar?"

"Huh..." Ryunosuke Akutagawa took a deep breath, raised his other hand, touched Shio's face lightly, and said, "What's wrong with you?"

"If you have to say it, it can be said that you have grown up." Shi Xu tilted his head in the direction of his hand, and gently rubbed it, "I decided to get along with you."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke seemed unmoved, his dark eyes held Tokio, from which he could clearly see the reflection of the other party, "Can I trust your words this time?"

Shi Xu sighed heavily, raised his hand intertwined with the other's fingers, and put it on his chest, "Yes, this is also caused by me, I know. Because I lied to you many times before, it's very good for you to have doubts normal."

"But this time I'm serious. It's almost time for me to graduate from my childish state. Believe me?"

Akutagawa Ryunosuke looked at him coldly, the other party's green eyes seemed to have star-like debris, looking at him beautifully and gently.

"My answer is still the same." Akutagawa Ryunosuke closed his eyes, and showed a slightly provocative but inconspicuous smile at Tokio, "Of course it doesn't matter, even if you deceive me again, I will still be like you." Treat you the same as before."

His hand was clasped with Shi Xu's, and it was already hot, able to radiate warmth.And Shi Xu's hand was still as cold as ever, as if there was no way to warm him no matter what.

"Are you talking angry?" Tokio took half a step forward, almost touching the distance of Akutagawa Ryunosuke, his voice was a little smiling, but Akutagawa Ryunosuke's ears were a little stunned.

Suddenly pulled down by Shi Xu, something soft was touched on his lips.After realizing what it was, Ryunosuke Akutagawa's mind was almost blank, and he walked around Tokio's back with one hand, and touched him proactively in turn.

All rely on instinct, longing for each other.

He could feel the hand intertwined with his fingers suddenly tighten, and then hang down a little weakly, so he turned around and held that hand tightly.

After parting, he looked at the blue-eyed young man breathing unsteadily and calmly, his face was a little unnatural, "Why are you..."

Shi Xu suddenly paused, looking at him with a half-smile, "Friend?"

"Do friends do this? Have you ever done this with other 'friends'?do you know what you're talking about " Akutagawa Ryunosuke took a sharp breath, raised his voice half a degree, and asked a little rudely.

"You know it too." Shi Xu's voice was a little frivolous, although he had tried his best not to go too far, but it was probably a habit for many years, and he still couldn't help but want to tease Akutagawa to make him fail.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke frowned and looked at him.

"A friend shouldn't do this kind of thing, you think so?" Shi Xu raised his hand to caress his face, "Then what should you tell me, you know?"

Akutagawa Ryunosuke suddenly smiled, and asked, "What did you say?"

"You know it clearly." Shi Xu curled his lips, sounding a little unhappy, but said honestly, "Say you like me."

"Where did you come to this conclusion, Miyo-san." Akutagawa Ryunosuke asked softly, his throat was a little uncomfortable, he avoided the voice of the young man who blocked his mouth and coughed twice, then turned around again Still soft and low, "Can I tell you?"

Shi Xu opened his eyes, staring at the opposite person without blinking.

It was a sweet but painful thing to be watched by Tokio so wholeheartedly, when Ryunosuke Akutagawa could hardly bear it, Tokio finally spoke.

"Probably... wanting to continue to torture you, or something like that." Shi Xu nodded, and stretched out his other hand to him, "What do you think?"

"Don't answer questions with questions, hasn't Mr. Dazai taught you that?"

Shi Xu's face changed in an instant, the previous smile completely disappeared, and his whole body became cold, "You are a little too much..."

"Hmm." Akutagawa Ryunosuke stretched out his hand to take his other hand, interrupting him, "This is my revenge."

"Vengeance on me?"

"To Mr. Dazai."

"Ha." Shi Xu suddenly didn't know what to say, and could only utter meaningless onomatopoeia, "So."

"It's not that I like you, I don't like you." Akutagawa Ryunosuke wrapped Shio's hand in his palm, "The more you think about it, the less you can simply name this kind of feeling like like, or love. s things."

"……Um?"

"I have no way to restrain my affection for you, as long as I see you, my heart will beat faster."

"You have a crush on me, and your heart beats faster when you see me, but you don't like me."

"Not entirely accurate, but, yes."

"are you crazy?"

……

"Ah... Is that how Miyo-san answered you?" Nakajima Atsushi didn't know why he listened to Akutagawa Ryunosuke's relationship counseling, but Akutagawa paid the money and asked him out from the Armed Detective Agency through formal channels. He could only try to answer.

"To be precise, he still beat me up." Ryunosuke Akutagawa's voice was a little low, mixed with a hint of gloom, "I didn't fight back."

"Well, that's all right."

"Because he is my boss, I can't fight back."

"...cough, cough, cough!" Atsushi Nakajima couldn't catch his breath, and coughed violently, and Akutagawa Ryunosuke gave him a disgusted look.

"Don't splash your saliva on your lower body."

Atsushi Nakajima now fully understands Miyo Tokio's thoughts, and he also wants to beat up Akutagawa.

But like Akutagawa, the other party gave him money, so he couldn't do that.

Atsushi Nakajima forcibly swallowed the blood up to his throat, and said to Ryunosuke Akutagawa as calmly as possible, "I think Mr. Miyo is right, you are sick."

"Don't think..."

"Stop!" Atsushi Nakajima interrupted him, and said quite forcefully, "If everything you said is true, you are indeed wrong about this matter."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke showed a slightly surprised expression, a little impatient, "I have a clear conscience."

This man is helpless.

Such a sentence appeared in Atsushi Nakajima's mind, and he really wanted to say that he would not earn the money anymore.Everything else is fine, Akutagawa Ryunosuke is too determined to accept his opinion at all.

"Akutagawa, I think..."

"Tell me in detail."

The two spoke at the same time, and a check was handed over after Akutagawa's words. After a casual glance at the number on it, Atsushi Nakajima felt that Akutagawa might need more careful enlightenment.

He gave too much.

"I think you need to apologize." Atsushi Nakajima sighed, and said to Ryunosuke Akutagawa sincerely, not really because of the other party's money, but because he sincerely wanted to give him such advice.

"Apologize? Did I do something wrong?" Akutagawa Ryunosuke did not understand at all, but he was not as irritable as before, and asked calmly.

"It seems to me that you, Akutagawa, act like you're playing with other people's feelings."

"He...he has no such thing as emotion."

"Won't it hurt if you don't have feelings?"

"It turns out that the one who was injured was the one below."

Atsushi Nakajima collapsed, "Don't you even know whether you like him or not?"

"I said that I have a good impression of my husband, but I don't think that kind of feeling is something as illusory as love." Akutagawa Ryunosuke was also very firm, said.

"I...!" Atsushi Nakajima felt that he couldn't help but put a hand on his shoulder. When he turned his head, it was Miyo Shio who smiled at him, "Mr. Miyo?"

"Well, thank you for your hard work, leave it to me." Miyo Tokio smiled at him, and Akutagawa stood up and looked at Tokio.

Nakajima Atsushi seemed to have been pardoned, and he breathed a sigh of relief, "I see, Miyo-san."

"Come with me." Tokio gestured to Akutagawa Ryunosuke, and Akutagawa followed silently, half a step behind him.

He didn't know where Miyo Shio was going, he just followed behind him, and he didn't react until the other party checked in at the hotel front desk:

"gentlemen?"

"Ah."

"This is……"

"Open the room." Tokio took the room card handed to him by the lady at the front desk, shook it at Akutagawa Ryunosuke, and said in a confident tone, "Is there any problem?"

"...No, there is no problem." Akutagawa Ryunosuke said.

He silently followed behind Shi Xu. The boy was wearing a suit and uniform of the Port Mafia, his long hair swayed slightly behind his head with the movement of walking, and at the same time, it also caught his heart beating sharply.

Until Shi Xu locked the door, he didn't know what he was doing now.

"I have carefully considered what you said that day." Shi Xu sat down on the soft, collapsible bed very simply, showing a rare and strange expression, "I don't understand at all."

"So, I decided to talk to you again openly and find a quiet place."

"Yes?"

"To put it simply, it is to confirm on the spot, whether your overly subtle affection for me is the so-called love or not."

"...How do I confirm it?" Akutagawa Ryunosuke asked with a dry mouth for no reason.

"I've come here, what do you think?" Shi Xu looked at him strangely, took off his outer coat and threw it on the sofa not far away, "It's not surprising that I want to fall in love, and I'm not an idol or something What is "love forbidden". "

"But this way... I don't think it's appropriate." Akutagawa Ryunosuke said slowly, but his body consciously walked towards Tokio.

"I think this is the easiest and quickest way." Shi Xu raised his eyebrows, "Just take it as an order."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke took a deep breath, and when he was about to embrace him, Tokio conjured up a deck of playing cards from nowhere, shuffled the cards nimbly with his fingers, and showed it to Akutagawa Ryunosuke.

"Let's draw a joke card, and the loser must answer the truth."

"...Just draw a joke card?" Akutagawa Ryunosuke was stunned, looking at him in disbelief.

"Otherwise?" Shi Xu asked back, and suddenly he laughed, "You're not thinking about any lewd things, are you?"

Akutagawa Ryunosuke wanted to bury himself now, and hoped that Tokio would stop talking to him.

But Shi Xu refused to let him go, he took it for granted, Shi Xu liked to see his angry expression, how could he miss such an opportunity.

"Ryunosuke said that he doesn't like me, but he wants to do that kind of thing with me." Tokio bent his eyes, sat on the bed and looked up at Akutagawa, "That kind of thing can only be done by people who like each other. .”

"Or, you just don't want to be responsible?"

"That's not it!" Akutagawa Ryunosuke looked over with a strong reaction, and met the young man's gentle green eyes. His temper disappeared, and his voice became softer, "It's not that I like... Superficial feelings."

"I will be by your side. No matter what happens."

"I see." Shi Xu nodded, laughed softly, put his arms around the other's waist, and buried his face in his clothes, "Well, that's how it is."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke's body was slightly stiff, and he slowly hugged him back.

"That kind of emotion is too nihilistic for me... But it seems that there are only words like this that can describe joy."

"like you."
