Akutagawa Ryunosuke's face changed too quickly, and Atsushi Nakajima didn't understand the reason for that distorted look for a while, so he treated it as an illusion.

But even so, he didn't intend to really "visit" the Armed Detective Agency. After all, he still couldn't get rid of his identity as a member of the Mafia, the rival organization of Butei.

... When Atsushi Nakajima was thinking this way, he didn't realize at all that the Mr. Dazai he was talking about was originally the leader of the Mafia, but now he lives and eats in the Armed Detective Agency, and has a relationship with the members of the agency. An indescribable relationship.

After the wounds were treated briefly, the three of them continued to walk forward. Fortunately, there were no more strange traps on this road, although it may be because of the explosion just now that the lights above their heads were blown up for a while and dimmed for a while. Yes, but it was enough for the three of them to see clearly the elevator that had gone on strike.

"It's so big here? To build an elevator underground, from the perspective of space, half of the zoo has been hollowed out." Atsushi Nakajima asked confused, "Can the zoo earn so much money?"

"Yeah." Quan Jinghua nodded next to her, "All the wages I paid for completing the tasks before were not enough..."

She blinked and said desolately: "It's not enough now."

Atsushi Nakajima: "..."

[Stop talking about low wages in the orphanage, Xiao Jinghua! ]

Akutagawa Ryunosuke did not go to discuss the salary issue with them, but directly said: "Not only does it require so much money, such a large project, in addition to being arranged by someone in the zoo, there must be someone behind it."

Otherwise, let's not talk about whether the zoo's daily purchase of so many new animals is compliant, but the government will not be unaware of the people who come and go in the park when the project starts.

But for such a long time, I have never heard anything related to this zoo.

It seems that the person behind this is enough to cover the sky with one hand...

I'm afraid this entrustment is not easy to solve.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke frowned imperceptibly.

Atsushi Nakajima didn't know what he was thinking. In this moment, his injuries had completely healed.

Facing the elevator door this time, it was impossible for him to let Ryunosuke Akutagawa rush to the front because of emotion and reason, so he stepped forward, grabbed the elevator door with both hands, and pulled it violently to both sides after transforming into a tiger.

The elevator door creaked, making the sound of dying.

Fortunately, nothing happened this time. After the elevator door opened, what came into view was the dark elevator shaft.

Atsushi Nakajima stood on the side, got half of his body in, looked up and down, saw that the elevator was hanging above, then retracted his body, lowered his voice and said to the two: "If there is anyone here, it should be on the top."

A few people made a plan, planning to find a way to destroy the elevator first, as for the next thing, the soldiers came to cover the water and soil, and took one step at a time.

But before the three of them could take any action, there was a sudden "boom" in the elevator shaft, as if something had hit the elevator.

--

Oda Sakunosuke clearly knew that this was an illusion.

But inexplicably, he didn't force himself to leave the illusion immediately, but when the other party looked over, he looked at him for a moment, and then walked over silently.

"Gimlets don't want bitters."

When the young man sat down with Oda Sakunosuke, he put the glass of wine in front of him, and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, very light, as if he wanted to use the most gentle state under extremely tired conditions to treat him.

Oda Sakunosuke looked at him quietly until the smile on the other side couldn't hold back, then he looked away and said "thank you" lightly.

He held the glass in his hand, but did not touch the wine in the glass.

The young man lowered his eyes and glanced across the wine glass, with no surprise on his face.

"You..." Oda Sakunosuke recalled what he said at that time, and said slowly, "I came here for Akutagawa's affairs. I heard that you have information about the Mafia here."

The young man unhurriedly mixed a glass of wine for himself, then went around the bar with the glass in his hand, and sat on a chair at a distance.

He took a sip of his wine, put down his glass, and smiled slowly: "Mr. Akutagawa really met a good senior."

He looked at Sakunosuke Oda, bent his eyes, and said in a relaxed tone, "Don't worry, after today, the Mafia will not chase and kill Akutagawa-kun, and he will not be disturbed by the Mafia—"

"why?"

The question that had been lingering in his heart for a long time blurted out, even Oda Sakunosuke was stunned for a moment.

This hallucination seems to be the same as the memory, but it is different. Is it because of those slight differences that he also seems abnormal?

"Why...?" The young man seemed to never have thought that he would ask about this matter, the expression on his face was blank for a moment, he quickly turned his head, his eyes fell on the wine glass on the bar counter, and he was slightly silent.

After a long time, he opened his lips and said, "If you want to say why, it's probably... for a wish."

Oda Sakunosuke: "...wish?"

"Yeah, wish." Osamu Dazai pursed his lips and smiled, then turned to look at him, "Odasaku, do you think that when a person who has never had a goal in life suddenly has a wish, he will How to do it?"

"Hmm... try to make your wish come true?" Oda Sakunosuke thought for a while and replied.

"Pfft——" Osamu Dazai was inexplicably amused by him, couldn't help knocking on the glass, and heard a crisp sound spread, "Well, you're right, you just want to work hard to realize your wish——"

He word by word: "Even if you pay any price."

Oda Sakunosuke was silent for a moment, then looked at him, and suddenly said: "But, to realize your own wish, why make others suffer?"

Osamu Dazai tightened his grip on the cup.

"I didn't think... Odasaku..."

When he raised his eyes in a panic and glanced at Oda Sakunosuke, he suddenly stopped speaking, as if he suddenly thought of something, he gritted his teeth and swallowed the words that came to his lips.

"Why didn't you say it?"

Osamu Dazai turned to the beginning, and laughed at himself: "You don't want to hear it..."

Oda Sakunosuke couldn't help but said, "I want to hear it."

After the words came out of his mouth, he paused.

He suddenly understood slowly, what was the reason for those emotions floating in his heart before he entered the hallucination.

It turns out that people like him are also curious, and they also want to know what Dazai Osamu did not say at that time, and what those words were interrupted by him.

It was rare for him to ask other people's words, but he didn't get the desired response. Osamu Dazai just lowered his eyes and remained silent, staring at the wine glass in his hand, as if trying to spot a flower in it.

Oda Sakunosuke looked at him for a moment, then slowly looked away.

[...It really is my hallucination, these things I don't know, probably won't be explained out of thin air. ]

As Oda Sakunosuke thought this way, the emotions that originally wanted to ask questions in his heart also involuntarily dissipated a bit.

He looked at the wine in his hand, took a sip from the glass, and his thoughts slowly drifted away.

Perhaps it wasn't that he looked strange in the hallucination, but that he hadn't looked like himself since the time he saw that young man in this bar a year ago.

He didn't understand why a mafia leader personally brought him the news that Akutagawa would not be hunted down. He didn't understand why that person knew him so well, and he didn't understand why he was happy when he talked about "hard tofu" Be like a child.

He didn't understand anything, but he kept the other party's sentence "We are friends in another world" in his heart, and even felt bitter after learning that the leader of the mafia committed suicide by jumping off the building, as if he had really lost an original Friends who can drink and talk freely together.

Although reason told him that the man was the leader of the mafia, and his ability to deceive and bluff the city must be at its peak, but sometimes, people's emotions are so unreasonable.

Just like in a bar, he couldn't help blurting out sharp retorts, what was he afraid of?

And this year, he couldn't help dreaming about Osamu Dazai repeatedly, what was he afraid of?

He, Oda Sakunosuke, is just an incompetent and incompetent detective, because he knows that he may not be able to do anything, so he has been avoiding it all the time, but the bad nature of his emotions is reminding him repeatedly, reminding him He, in fact, he has always understood.

He guessed why the young man was happy and sad, guessed whether the word "friend" that the other party said at the end was sincere, and knew exactly how much harm his rebuttal had caused the other party.

But he was afraid that he would not be able to bear it.

That's why I let myself escape, and only entered the dreamland in the dead of night to feel the little pain in my heart.

[It turns out that I remember all the details of a year ago. ]

Oda Sakunosuke suddenly felt very sad.

If that leader is also a lonely person like Dazai, how happy and lucky would he be to have a close friend?

And when you made up your mind to say goodbye, not only did you fail to see your friends to keep you, but you were disgusted and threatened, how hopeless would you feel?

...it shouldn't be like this.

"Feel sorry."

Oda Sakunosuke closed his eyes and said the words with a sigh.

The people around him turned their heads in surprise, their lips moved, but they didn't make a sound.

Oda Sakunosuke thought that he should have said this apology long ago.

Friend—what a heavy word.

People like him never dared to say such words, so what kind of mood did that leader say "We are friends" to him?

...Maybe it's the last fight before the end.

At that time, the other party's mood would never be much better than that of him now.

"Feel sorry."

"If possible, I would also like to see what it would be like for us to be friends in another world."

"The firm tofu you made should be as you said, delicious."

"Dazai."

He opened his eyes, and the bar in front of him was slowly shrouded in smoke, and then slowly dispersed.

The dim light, the tired young man, and the wine with the hockey puck are all like a dream.

Now, the dream woke up.

The author has something to say: Oda Tsukuru, I would like to call it [Sober and Confused] No.1.
