"...so, that's the situation."

A few hours later, the night had completely shrouded it.Bulk carriers painted with "Rising Sun Transport" on their hulls are quietly moored in port berths controlled by PortMafia.Under the protection of armed personnel, the processing team is busy unloading various weapons loaded on the ship.

Occasionally, sporadic corpses were brought down, but the few people sitting in the limousine parked on the pier, not far from the ship, didn't care.

"I do carry a backup positioning device with me, and it is connected to the mobile phone. Once it is shut down abnormally, the backup positioning will be activated. And Sato's escape was my layout from the beginning to the end. All the news he thought were intentional. It was given to him—he is really an excellent tool man, not only killed Yamazaki, but also diligently helped to gather the assets and almost all funds of the KK Chamber of Commerce, which not only saved our manpower and material resources, but also avoided the situation in the frontal war. Loss."

After all, Osamu Dazai has two memories - based on his understanding of Alice, the latter would certainly not want to see a scene like Shibusawa Tatsuhiko burning money and gems.

"As for why I got on the boat myself, it was to recycle this."

Osamu Dazai looked to his side, a young boy with half black and half white hair was sleeping on the seat beside him.The child was wearing a blue and white hospital gown, with a strange-shaped doll loosely in his arms.

"My name is Yumeno Hisaku, and I should be 4 years old now. I have a psychic ability, and the name of the ability is [Brain Hell]. You can attack other people's spirits by destroying dolls, so that they can attack the surroundings indiscriminately. But the control object is only Restricted to 'those who hurt him', the opportunity is that ghost-like handprints will appear on the other party's body."

"...so you told me not to go on board."

"That's right. Almost capsized the boat because of a brainless slug!" Dazai gave Nakaya a sharp look.

Zhong Ye shrunk his neck guiltily, raised his hand and pressed down on his hat.However, even so, he couldn't help but say: "... Dazai."

"Ok?"

"You were an onion in your previous life, right?" What kind of tricks are these? !And, "What about the plan? This is completely different from what you told me!"

Zhong also couldn't help muttering, "I said, do you really distrust me that much?"

"...It's better to say, how can I trust a little slug who can't even stop a boat?"

"Hey!"

"Okay, okay." The fourth person in the car - Alice laughed.She stretched out her hand and made a stop gesture, looking at Osamu Dazai with curled lips and Chuya with a complicated expression, feeling a little helpless.

"Zhongye, I think it's not that Azhi doesn't trust you—or rather, if he didn't trust you, he wouldn't have boarded the boat alone." It was because of Xinxin that he could think of the information he gave before, Osamu Dazai would risk himself by finding the ship through positioning—even if there was Ango Sakaguchi on board, it would still be very risky to do so.

In fact, Alice was also very scared.Fortunately, Chuya found it in time, otherwise, even if there were two "tool men" who could be used by Osamu Dazai, Ango Sakaguchi and Kusaku Yumeno, even if she could handle everything, there would be no guarantee that she would not be injured.

...And even so, he was still injured.

Alice leaned forward, slowly stretched out her hand, and her fingertips rested on Osamu Dazai's cheek.Just when Osamu Dazai thought she was going to touch him, she withdrew her hand.

"Sister...?" Osamu Dazai blinked.

"Does it hurt?"

"Hmm! It's super painful~" Osamu Dazai dragged out the tone like a spoiled child.Eyes shining brightly looked at Alice.

The completely different tone from before made the corners of Chuya's mouth twitch, but he didn't say anything—he wouldn't say that when he saw the red mark on the mackerel's face for the first time, he also felt murderous.

Tsk, the mackerel was actually beaten by others, it's too annoying.It's rare that this guy suffers, so he just turns a blind eye to his disgusting coquettishness.

Chuya was ready for Alice to hug Dazai Osamu and rub him in the next second - this guy has been so scheming since he was a child.However, beyond what he—and possibly Dazai Osamu—expected, Alice didn't reach out as usual, but looked out the window instead.

On the specially made bulletproof single-sided glass window, the girl's delicate face and calm, almost serious eyes are reflected.

"...I have been thinking about one thing when I received the report that you were alone in danger."

"Alice!" Dazai Osamu suddenly had a bad premonition, he spoke hastily, but was interrupted by the girl.

"Listen to me first, Azhi." Alice turned her face away and looked at the two children she regarded as her family. "I have seriously reflected on it. I promised you to join PortMafia. Is it my fault?"

At this moment, Lian Zhong also became nervous - he understood a little what Alice was going to say.

"I'm not very good at teaching children, and I never thought I could teach you anything. You and Chuya, you are both very smart children, far more capable than me. So I trust you. Rimbaud and Taro also said, Let me not be too protective of you guys - you know what you're doing."

"However," the girl's eyes stopped on the scar on Dazai Osamu's face that was turning purple - the boy's skin was too fair, so the marks of being slapped heavily became more and more obvious.

It is no exaggeration to say that Alice was breathless when she saw it.That slap was like a slap on her face.

"Looks like I'm overdoing it."

She thought that Chuya's force and Dazai's intelligence could guarantee that they would not be harmed.She thought that they could control everything within a safe range.But she didn't consider Osamu Dazai's style of doing things—or, before today, she didn't realize so clearly that Osamu Dazai, like Mori Ogai, is a person who will regard himself as a pawn and put himself into the layout .

——Perhaps in the eyes of these overly smart strategists, this is an adventure within their grasp, and it is a very "cost-effective" way.However, this was not the result she wanted.

——She had to make Osamu Dazai aware of this.

"So, I seriously thought about it, maybe I did something wrong in the first place. I should stick to my mind and send you out as soon as possible - I can contact Nai Nai. Peng Lie took care of Bingsheng very well As long as we propose to form an alliance with Peng Gelie on the matter of parallel prosperity, it will not be difficult to build a safe back garden there with the strength of both of us."

Pengo Lie will refuse other forces to intervene and prosper, but if it is to arrange family members, that is another matter. Both Nana and Jiaguang know how precious she is to their children, and they will not reject this proposal that is beneficial to both parties. .

Osamu Dazai and Nakahara also understand this very well.The latter froze, while the former couldn't wait to speak as soon as Alice finished speaking.

"But this time I acted on my own initiative! It's just a small injury!" Osamu Dazai showed real anxiety on his face, "It's not Alice's problem, it's my plan—"

"However, your plan is for PortMafia." Alice smiled helplessly and softly, "Azhi, you understand. Your plan is for me—for PortMafia to get the most at the least cost interests. But, to me, you, you are the most important. I thought you already knew that we had PortMafia, and it was a tool to protect you—to protect everyone in the family. You have come to serve PortMafia."

"I don't think so, serving PortMafia or something—"

"But, the truth is, you're alone and you're injured."

Osamu Dazai's face turned pale, and he felt trapped in a cocoon for the first time.He even looked at Chuya subconsciously, but found that the latter's expression was the same as his - although Alice's words were about Osamu Dazai, her "decision" obviously included all the children.

"...Fortunately, it's not too late now." Alice pulled back her topic, "Silver and Ryunosuke are very good, and they must be able to adapt well in the new school. I'm considering letting Rimbaud or Oda go with you Let’s go together—although Aji, you may prefer to go to Oda, after all, you have a better relationship. But Rimbaud’s ability is more suitable.”

"... Rimbaud will not agree."

"I'll make him agree."

"Then what do you do?" Chuya blurted out, "If we all leave, what will you do?"

——Is now the time to talk about this? !Osamu Dazai almost laughed at Chuya's reaction.Are slugs fools? !

Sure enough, Alice laughed, "I am also a person with supernatural powers. Taro is enough to deal with ordinary assassinations. What's more, as long as I stay at the PortMafia headquarters, others can't do anything to me."

"But you will work hard!"

"There were no double blacks in the previous generation—didn't he also rule well?"

Even if everyone hated the old lunatic in his later years, didn't he live well all the way until she came to power?

"But--"

"Okay, Chuya." Alice stretched out her hand, and gently patted Chuya on the head through the hat. "You are all tired today, go take a good rest. I'll just watch here, and I'll ask the driver to take you back first—and this little friend." Alice pointed to Yumeno Hisaku who fell asleep—the uniform of Osamu Dazai The other party immediately injected him with a tranquilizer. "Azhi help me settle him down. Call me afterward."

With that said, she opened the car door and walked out.

Osamu Dazai watched her walking towards the front of the car with a pale face, and Mori Ogai, who had been waiting outside the car, came up to her.The girl looked up, as if explaining something to him.

Mori Ogai showed a somewhat surprised expression, and he pointed at the car.

Alice then turned around, glanced in the direction of Osamu Dazai through the car window, showed a somewhat wistful smile, then turned around, and nodded to Mori Ogai.

That glance made Osamu Dazai's mind go blank, as if there was only Alice's helpless and sad smile in front of him.

—she is serious.Seriously than ever before.

—and he, they all knew.Although Alice is tolerant and patient with children, she is not an easy and persuasive character. On the contrary, she is very strong in her bones, and she never changes the decisions she makes on major matters.

So, this time, she really doesn't want him?

Following this thought, the young man's breathing suddenly became stagnant, his complexion was extremely bad, the emotion in his kite eyes continued to fade away, and deep despair surged like a tide, until he was pushed hard.

"Go!"

"Chuya...?"

"What are you in a daze for! Go and act like a baby with Alice!" Nakahara Nakaya glared at Osamu Dazai with hatred, "Hey! Do you really want to be sent away? Go and act like a baby with Alice to make her stop Thought!"

"But……"

"Don't be so! You are the most coquettish person in our family! And this time, it's all because of you, right? Go!" Zhong Ye was anxious to death.This coquette!Didn't you do well the previous few times?How reserved are you at this critical moment!

Thinking of this, the orange-haired boy stretched out his hand to push the car door, and then pushed Osamu Dazai out vigorously.

Dazai staggered out of the car door after being pushed by him.The noise made Alice and Mori Ogai look over.In the dark night, the girl stood under the moon, the night wind blew her long hair, and the coat and skirt draped over her shoulders drew graceful curves in the air.

As if she didn't expect him to come out suddenly, Alice was taken aback for a moment, and then the corners of her mouth gently curled up.

"What's wrong? Aji?"

That was the kind he saw most often, the smile that Alice would only show when facing her family.

At this moment, Dazai was blessed to the heart.He rushed towards Alice suddenly, and threw himself into her arms like a child.The humanoid ability disappeared instantly because of [Disqualification in the World].The girl in high heels took a step back before she stood still. She was very helpless, and when she lowered her head, she met the boy who was about to cry.

"Sister! I was wrong! Don't leave me behind!" Osamu Dazai held on to Alice's clothes, "If I am left behind by my sister, I will die—I will definitely die!"

"Aji..."

"My sister said she would stop me. My sister said she wouldn't let me die alone!"

"..."

"I got it! I got it! I won't let myself get hurt again next time! I won't take any chances again!"

"Aji..."

"...don't leave me alone..."

Under the clear moonlight, the boy's kite eyes glowed with water.It's not entirely a deliberate performance to soften the girl's heart.Just like in "Memory", the "Osamu Dazai" walking alone in the dark is dead silent and desperate, while the "Osamu Dazai" wandering in the light is lively on the outside but full of holes on the inside.

And after soaking in love for a long time, the young man at this moment naturally became delicate.

The eyelashes flicked desperately, but they couldn't shake off the moisture that kept rising.The thought of losing the warmth in his arms made him feel extremely unbearable.

"...I was wrong, I will be good. Don't leave me..."

Finally, like a kitten, he buried his head in Alice's arms and refused to look up.

Alice blinked her eyes, and slowly reached out to hug the boy in her arms.

"Really obedient?"

"Um……"

"Won't you put yourself in danger again?"

"Um……"

Alice sighed a long time, then stretched out her hand, and with a little force, pulled the boy out of her arms.

Osamu Dazai's eyes were red, and he was really about to cry.

The kittens are going to be little rabbits——Alice finally laughed.Distressed and angry at the same time, she stretched out her hand and slowly pressed it on the boy's cheek.

The boy hissed softly, but laughed when he saw her frowning distressed expression.

—The alarm is off.

Almost subconsciously, he revealed a sweet, delicate and innocent smile.

"You're the only one who is smart!" Alice glared at him, unwilling to say anything more.I just put down my hand and rubbed it on his soft hair, "Really, you can't do this again next time."

"Ah."

"Almost scared to death by you."

"I was wrong~"

"Now I know how to act like a baby."

"Hehe~"

***

"So, Alice, are you serious?"

Returning to the PortMafia building, after the two boys had gone to bed, Mori Ogai, who had settled Kusaku Yumeno, turned to look at the girl standing at the bedroom window looking at the night scene, and asked.

"Huh?" The girl turned around and raised her eyebrows.

"Send Dazai and the others away—are you serious this time?"

"of course."

"...I thought you were trying to scare him."

"If you're not serious, how can you scare him?" Alice smiled and turned to the window again.

"...So if Dazai is like this next time—"

"I'll send him right away. To a place where there's no Mafia and no need for him to plot murder."

Alice narrowed her eyes.

"Even without their help, would you be very dangerous?"

"So what?" The girl laughed, "I want to protect the children at home, so I am willing to cooperate with the teacher's three-moment plan and protect the city by the way. If the city needs my children If you come to risk your life to protect..."

——That might as well be destroyed.

With the unfinished second half of the sentence, Alice turned around and took a deep look at her humanoid ability.

"...Taro, remember this well."

***

"so……"

"Ok?"

"Alice just said that, are you serious?"

Nakaya scratched his hair, and asked Osamu Dazai next to him——For a teenager, it’s really normal for teenagers to play video games in one of them’s room after they “should go to bed” up.

"Yes." Pressing the handle with both hands, Osamu Dazai replied without turning his head.

"Oh..." the orange-haired boy made a frightened voice, "It's a good thing you coaxed her well, you scared me to death." Although Alice had said similar things before, she had never shown such an expression.

"..."

It was as if they were about to walk out of their world in the next second. "I can't imagine life without Alice at all."

"..."

"And it will be killed by Ryunosuke." Zhong also could imagine the little rabbit at home jumping into a rage.

"You are so annoying, Chuya."

Zhong Ye raised his eyes and stared at it, but thinking about the incident of stopping the ship today, it was rare for him to refute.After being quiet for a while, he suddenly asked the doubts he had been harboring all this time.

"Then you have been teasing me some time ago, why?"

"what?"

"Don't 'ah'." Chuya frowned, he simply pressed the pause, reached out and took the handle from Osamu Dazai's hand, pulled over the other's shoulder, and looked straight into his eyes seriously.

"Alice said that you trust me, so I'll just believe it. Then you suddenly seemed to have taken gunpowder some time ago, there must be a reason?"

Pretty straight straight ball.Even if "temporary" is used, the clear cobalt blue eyes are full of trust in him.The Nakahara Chuya in front of him is more pure and direct than any one in Dazai Osamu's memory.There was no slightest disgust or impatience—the young man was filled with tolerance and warmth towards him.

Even if he is furious, as long as he calms down, he will wag his tail and come forward again.

"...Chuya, are you a dog?"

"what?"

"...dogs have more brains than you." Osamu Dazai lowered his eyes, and his tone was filled with impatience—more, it was self-defeating, "Listen up. No one would want the master they serve With an iron bucket by your side, everyone is united as one, and the strongest combat power is a tacit partner—that means they can't get ahead no matter what. And..."

He pursed his lips, frowned, and finally said the second part of the sentence, "You are too gracious to your subordinates."

"...So?" The orange-haired boy blinked.

That expression left Dazai speechless for a while.That's why he didn't want to explain - at this moment, the boy's mood was completely synchronized with that of the famous detective on the other side of the city.

"To put it simply, I did it on purpose. Anyway, in front of outsiders, I will always have this attitude." He replied coldly and rudely, and then quickly changed the subject in order to avoid more questions in the future, "Compared to This, Chuya, you should take care of yourself more."

"Me?" Zhong didn't know why, "What's wrong with me?"

"Oh~" Osamu Dazai curled the corner of his mouth, "Little slug~ Have you forgotten our bet?"

——[If Chuya completely follows my instructions and plan, he will definitely complete your part before me, and if you make a mistake, you will be slower than me. 】

Although it was put together, Zhong Ye was indeed "slow".

——[The loser puts on the ears of the puppy and goes to Alice to learn how the dog barks. 】

"I'll record it and play it on a loop on the big screen at the entrance of PortMafia." Seeing Nakahara Nakaya's expression of being so shocked that he was speechless, Osamu Dazai showed a devilish smile, "As the price for your mistake in stopping the ship today—— Don't thank me too much."

Unlike the little dog-like slugs, he's petty.
