[Funno Otome] Is my colleague angry today?

51

Akutagawa's gaze was too intense, and his partner instinctively glanced in his direction.

Seeing the source of that gaze, she froze for a moment, and jumped behind Atsushi Nakajima like a thief, trying to cover her figure, and whispered: "Help, help, help the world! Don, let me help you!" I'll hide for a while, and after the apology, I'll buy you even five hundred bowls of chazuke, so work harder to attract hatred, please, it's all up to you!"

"Miss? What happened all of a sudden... Akutagawa, what are you doing here?!"

Perhaps because he was listening intently, the white-haired boy didn't realize the existence of the third person until the jet-black clothes blade appeared in his field of vision.

52

"Get out of the way, Human Tiger, don't get in your way. "

Akutagawa said coldly.

Atsushi Nakajima's face changed when he heard the words: "Oh no, the port mafia is targeting the young lady this time!"

He subconsciously assumed the awe-inspiring posture of a guardian, firmly guarding the woman behind him, as if she was a fragile object that needed to be handled with care.

The scene was so ridiculous that Akutagawa laughed back angrily: "She doesn't need your protection, don't be sentimental. ——Have you played enough of the game of hiding behind the trash and pretending to be weak, "Iron Wall"? "

53

"..."Iron Wall"?Do you mean Miss? "

Atsushi Nakajima repeated in confusion.

The partner gasped and screamed, "Ryunosuke Akutagawa, you big mouth!"

Regardless of Atsushi Nakajima's urgent voice of "Don't go there, that person is very dangerous", she came out from behind the boy who had turned into a half-hued tiger aggressively and cursingly: "Dun Jun, you don't have to stop me.He bullies people too much, which is tolerable or unbearable!How many years have passed, why haven't I forgotten that broken name—"

54

The moment she poked her head out, the soaring "Rashomon" tightly wrapped her waist and pulled her over.

The partner kicked wildly: "Look clearly, Akutagawa-kun, your old enemy is over there! Let go!"

"I see it very clearly. I have been looking for you for four years," Akutagawa smiled, feeling the strength of her struggle, "I won't let go no matter what."

His tone was unusually calm and relaxed.

It's like seeing a small oasis in a boundless desert.

55

Looking at the scene in front of him, Atsushi Nakajima's expression became more and more confused, and he muttered to himself: "Acquaintance? Four years? This... Could it be the legendary...forced love...?"

It is only natural that he would be confused.

The words "Akutagawa" and "forced love" don't sound like things of the same dimension.

"What kind of forced love is this?" The partner hanging on the "Rashomon" wanted to cry without tears, "I think it is forced hate?"

56

Akutagawa knows how fast his partner is improving.

However, four years have passed, and her alertness, reaction speed, and physical skills have not improved in any of them, and she barely maintains the level before her defection.

If not, he wouldn't be able to catch her so easily.

Is it Mr. Dazai's intention to let her maintain the status quo?Or is it that her new partner is an idiot who doesn't even understand her abilities, and always treats her as a weak person like before, and carefully puts her behind to protect her?That's why she kept glancing in the direction of the "Human Tiger" with that look of asking for help.

Either conjecture is equally unpleasant.

Akutagawa grabbed her tightly with his power: "The "Human Tiger" will not help you.Cough cough cough, the next one is the one who understands you best and is the most suitable partner for you—"

57

"Okay, okay, you are the most suitable, please be merciful." Probably being strangled, the partner punched the black beast ferociously, and his eyebrows also frowned, "It's up to you to kill or cut, I just ask you to Happy. Unlike when I met you, I haven't been seriously injured for a long time, and now I really can't bear the pain..."

Akutagawa finds that he unexpectedly likes to see her show weakness.

"Where have you been hiding for the past four years?" He unconsciously adjusted the form of "Rashomon".

"...Uh, I went back to China to study in university? Although you probably forgot about this setting, I was a senior in high school before. There is still a graduation certificate in the suitcase, do you want to see it?"

58

Truth be told, it's an answer that no barking dog raised in the slums and lackey of the port mafia could think of.

This is, in his mind marked by a life of poverty and violence, unattainable, but commonplace for ordinary people.

However, this answer suits her well.

59

She breathed out: "Also, who said Dun Jun is my partner? I am a law-abiding citizen and I haven't fought anyone in four years. He was sent to pick me up from the plane."

Akutagawa said alertly: "Are you going to join the Armed Detective Agency?"

"That's right, can't it? They Wuzhen don't care about majors, they don't need work experience, they don't need to work overtime, and most importantly, they also provide accommodation? Which poor college student can refuse this kind of job?"

"You might as well move to our house." He blurted out.

The partner and Atsushi Nakajima let out a very synchronized voice: "——ha?"

60

Atsushi Nakajima looked like a "subway tiger looking at his phone.jpg", and shouted: "Miss, this man is a pervert, I'll hold him back for you, run away—"

"Oh, yes, I remembered, Akutagawa-kun, you still have a younger sister, I understand, I understand," the partner racked his brains to make up for him, and tentatively asked, "Do you mean to say , it will be more convenient for us two girls to take care of each other..."

Akutagawa interrupted her: "I live alone."

The partner hesitated to speak.

The partner stopped talking and wanted to.

The partner really couldn't hold back, so he opened his mouth: "Mr. Akutagawa, I understand that you don't want me to join the hostile forces, but there is no need to sacrifice your personal reputation...? Let me leave the question of whether to avoid suspicion or not. □□Is it inappropriate for a traitor to live in the home of you, who is directly under the guerrilla captain, right?"

Akutagawa said as a matter of course: "Then where do you live, I will move there."

I have an exam tomorrow, wish me luck!
