Everyone is urging me

When talking about Ryunosuke Akutagawa, what do people in Yokohama think of?

A rabid dog who doesn't bark in the slums, a guerrilla leader in the port of Mafia, or a power user who looks weak and is actually more ruthless than anyone else.

Either way, it is absolutely linked to force.

But today—

Aboriginal people may be surprised.

Everyone knows that there will always be some unexpected situations in Yokohama every now and then.

If it is small, it is petty theft, and if it is large, it is organization rush.

To be more serious, there are foreign forces who are disturbed and kind, and they will drag the whole city into the water even if they die.

It's not that serious today.

It's just that a certain guy who defected was found by the apprentice he once taught, and was hunted down all the way.

Yes.

It is Dazai Osamu, the former port Mafia cadre, and his former disciple Akutagawa Ryunosuke.

If you really want to count, it is also a coincidence.

Due to some well-known reasons, the mission that Zhongyuanzhong also decided to do was put on hold for a short time.

After confirming the identity of the visitor from another world, he took him to his residence outside the headquarters out of some desire for exploration and selfishness, and did not report it immediately.

But the task at hand has to be done.

Chuya Nakahara thought about it, and let Ryunosuke Akutagawa, who already had a patrol mission today, take over.

This is what Osamu Dazai did not count.

He didn't know that Akutagawa Ryunosuke temporarily changed the patrol location because he was doing a mission for Nakahara Chuya, so he didn't have any preparations for meeting in advance.

As soon as the two met, various emotions flashed through Akutagawa Ryunosuke's heart.

But in the end, personal emotions prevailed.

He thought of the "teacher", and the referrer who picked him up and brought him back to the port of Mafia had long since abandoned him and defected, and now he was his enemy, so he used his ability.

His offensive was fierce, but not murderous.

It may be that he has some ideas of wanting to show his progress in force.

Because of this, it is not difficult for Osamu Dazai, who knows his moves and routines, to hide.

then--

The hunt has continued to this day.

Yokohama people know how to avoid disadvantages.

When encountering this kind of thing, they will not watch the excitement curiously, they will just avoid it faster than anyone else, so as not to affect themselves.

As for whether there are people secretly observing behind the closed doors and windows with other thoughts, it is beyond the scope of this investigation.

"Dazai first, no—the sinner who betrayed the port of Mafia." The black hem turned into a beast-shaped blade, blocking Dazai's path.

The master of the ability, Akutagawa Ryunosuke, stared fiercely at the man who seemed to be playing tricks on him. He seemed to be suppressing some emotions, and growled in a hoarse voice, "Are you just dodging like a mouse?"

I have to say that Akutagawa Ryunosuke is indeed talented when it comes to combat intuition alone.

But not enough.

"Still as impatient as before." Osamu Dazai once again predicted his attack route, and easily left the encirclement of his abilities, "You haven't improved at all, Akutagawa."

He can always easily find the most fatal weakness of Akutagawa Ryunosuke.

Just like, he knows what words to use to irritate the other party and make the other party ignore the surrounding environment even more, so as to achieve the purpose of letting himself leave safely.

But in this world, not all developments are in his expectation.

such as--

He would not know that at the next moment when Akutagawa Ryunosuke's ability attacked again, the same but much stronger ability would follow and suppress the attack.

"Cough, cough, cough."

A familiar voice came from behind Dazai Osamu.

Osamu Dazai showed a surprised expression, because of the second unexpected thing he encountered today.

"If you want to hurt Mr. Dazai, I can't ignore it."

——The one who stopped Ryunosuke Akutagawa was precisely a coincidence that protected his sister and fell into this world together. Because he noticed that someone was doing something to his own (the child who had stayed in the orphanage), he used his ability to stop it without thinking Akutagawa.

Although the voice is the same, the difference between the two Akutagawa is actually very big.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa here is wearing the uniform of the organization.

The inner jacket that looked like a foreign skirt did not bring any softness to his temperament. On the contrary, the pure black jacket over the inner jacket had a similar sharpness to him. Sharp and aggressive.

Coupled with his perennial indifferent expression, people can tell that he is not easy to mess with.

But that's not the case with Akutagawa who suddenly appeared in another world.

It is true that he still wears a common black and white outfit, which is also similar to the overall style of the port Mafia, but he wears an improved version of a kimono that is closer to modern clothing.

What is hard to see is that Akutagawa is wearing a military-style beret on his head, which makes his originally invisible temperament more restrained.

The common windbreaker of the organization has become a pure black haori, embroidered with dark green and golden bamboo patterns. No matter how you look at it, Akutagawa is dressed like a literati, not the fearsome guerrilla leader in the port Mafia.

If you add glasses to him, anyone who looks at it will think that he is engaged in literary work.

However, his action of using supernatural powers to control the enemy just now was crisp and neat, which made people wake up from the harmless atmosphere of literature.

"... Akutagawa?" Osamu Dazai had doubts about the identity of the newly appeared Akutagawa.

Not only Ryunosuke Akutagawa looked over subconsciously, but Akutagawa, who was protecting his sister behind him, also raised his head and replied, "Yes?"

Appearance and supernatural powers.

Aside from the details, Osamu Dazai is [-]% sure that the Akutagawa who helped him is "Akutagawa Ryunosuke" after seeing the silver that Akutagawa is protecting.

But if so...

He was too easy on himself.

"Two Akutagawa?"

Before he could continue to think deeply, Akutagawa Ryunosuke, whose attack was interrupted, spoke.

"Who are you?!"

"This is the question I want to ask next."

Akutagawa was very calm when he saw another self with the same appearance but completely different dress, but Gin behind him looked at the two curiously, "Shooting to hurt Mr. Dazai, and deliberately pretending to be my subordinate... the enemy conspiracy?"

It's not that he didn't guess the correct conclusion of "different time and space".

It's just that compared to the general development of this kind of novel setting, Akutagawa's priority is the conspiracy of the supernatural being.

"Pretend? I don't know what you're talking about."

"I'm just letting the traitor know the price of betrayal!"

"If he is brought back to the port of Mafia, even Dazai-san will no longer be able to deny my strength!"

As a writer, Akutagawa has strong logical thinking.

Having said this, of course he began to carefully identify whether this existence exactly like him was another self.

But even if he was, Akutagawa didn't quite understand what he said.

"You're 'me' too?"

"Then why do you need Mr. Dazai's approval?" When Akutagawa pronounced the title "Mr. Dazai", he was far calmer than Ryunosuke Akutagawa.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke may not have heard it, but Dazai Osamu had long discovered that although Akutagawa's attitude towards him was familiar, he was placed on an equal footing.

Still the same problem as before.

why?

Obviously this Akutagawa also joined Port Mafia (dressed in the same organizational style), and obviously he defected from Port Mafia over there (he did not obey his superiors).

According to the normal development, even if there is some reason for this Akutagawa to be calmer and better at thinking, the events he experienced should not be much different.

Assuming that because of doubts about the identity of the "teacher" (for example, Akutagawa is an organization led by Chuya, not taught by him), and he is not in awe of him, he should also be somewhat angry at the traitor.

Then why is it the current attitude?

Or……

There is some information that he didn't grasp that caused this difference.

"Why?" Akutagawa Ryunosuke also found it incomprehensible.

"If you're 'me' too, how can you not know—"

——How could it be possible not to know what he was after?

However, facing Akutagawa Ryunosuke's unfinished questioning, Akutagawa seemed to have thought of something, casually took out a notebook and a pen from the supernatural space, and wrote down the sentence he had just thought of.

Even Osamu Dazai had to be surprised by this control over supernatural powers, admitting in his heart that he was far better than Ryunosuke Akutagawa.

He even thought.

If Ryunosuke Akutagawa was at his level, he might have a different attitude towards his cheap apprentice.

As for Ryunosuke Akutagawa himself?

He didn't expect that the same "self" would have such a different control over abilities.

But he is so strong that he will not admit that when he realized this, he felt momentary self-doubt and frustration in his heart.

He just silently decided to strengthen his training, unwilling to lose to himself.

Akutagawa didn't care what they thought.

He has long been used to writing down his inspirations at any time, and because of this, he has developed the ability to command abilities and write down key sentences even in battle.

In his own world, this is the only scenery inside the port Mafia.

Akutagawa closed his notes after writing.

In the end, he read it out with a feeling.

"It's human nature to lie."

Akutagawa straightened his black hat, which was blown crooked by the strong wind brought by the battle, without even looking at himself in this world, and just put the written notebook back into the supernatural space.

"Most of the time, we can't even be honest with ourselves."

After quickly identifying and confirming the identities of both parties, and judging that he and his sister would not be attacked suddenly, Akutagawa unhurriedly canceled the ability.

The hem of his clothes fell down with the wind, returning to harmlessness, which also showed that his attitude was unbelievably leisurely.

With him like this, in the eyes of others, he can't help showing a bit of contempt unconsciously.

Even his tone was calm as if the battle just now was just an insignificant episode, which immediately angered Akutagawa Ryunosuke who was already easy to provoke.

It's just that because of the fleeting confrontation just now, and the girl behind Akutagawa who is exactly like his sister, Akutagawa Ryunosuke didn't make a move immediately.

At this moment, Akutagawa looked at himself in this world.

"Are you eager to be recognized, or..."

"Other than that, don't you have any 'goals' to work towards?"

Akutagawa looked at Ryunosuke Akutagawa with very calm eyes.

When the two stand together, the idea that "they are different" becomes clearer.

Of course it's different.

One is a vicious dog who can only think about how to "survive" under high pressure.

The other is because he met someone who changed his life, the wild dog was "domesticated", and he began to have time and ability to think more about "life".

How can the difference be small?

--------------------

The author has something to say:

There is training recently, and the next chapter is a few days later.

I don't know why, but near the end (especially if you don't save the manuscript, you can write and update it), every time you code and update, you are a little anxious when you wait for the code to continue.

On the one hand, I was thinking about why there is still a plot that I haven’t finished writing, and the summary is only a few words, and on the other hand, I am reassuring myself not to worry. If I don’t write out my private design, who knows it is a private design, and the efficiency of the code word is not as good as I wrote before. During certain super-high drama moments.

Maybe the new year is approaching, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish writing this year (touch my chin.jpg).

Use full names for characters in the book world, and last/first names for book worlds.

Hope it doesn't feel too messy.

Originally, traditional arts were used to add [ ] to distinguish the original world, but [ ] in this book has a special meaning (referring to the content written by the heroine in the text), so I don’t do it like this.

The difference between Akutagawa is simple.

The experiences of the two are not completely different, but the things they come into contact with are different.

In the original work, Akutagawa’s gaze has always been on Dazai. What he pursues is a person’s approval (the goal when he was in the slums was to stay alive, and after entering the port Mafia, he pursued Dazai’s approval), and Akutagawa in the book world has already published works. He is a great writer, and his eyes are no longer limited to one person or one organization, but to a wider distance (because he was picked up by Angel and taught literature by Teresa, his vision is different).

Literary giant Akutagawa: Learning martial arts can't save the people of the country, and neither can learning literature... So I decided to be both civil and military.
