Dazai's girlfriend Natsume

Natsume Chiaya had been waiting late at the Armed Detective Agency, and with such an unexpected accident, it was almost ten o'clock when she returned to the staff dormitory.

Natsume Chiaya washed her hands, soaked the fresh bamboo shoots in water, and then began to pick the crab meat and crab roe.It took about half an hour before she finished processing the ingredients.She was even a little thankful that she was lazy and bought tempura powder directly, omitting the steps of preparation.After completing these preparations, Natsume Chiaya poured oil and started the fire.

Soon, the aroma of tempura spread, and the golden and crispy batter just looked at it and whetted the appetite.

Natsume Qianling watched the tempura rolling in the frying pan with fascination, remembering that when she was just learning cooking from Aunt Tako, she was a little afraid of the sizzling frying pan at the beginning, it was Aunt Tako who held her hand and brought She witnesses the tempura taking shape.

Then, Aunt Tako said to her, "The best time of tempura is only 30 seconds, so Chiya-chan must cherish it, don't hesitate to help me solve it!"

Mr. Cat's favorite is fried shrimp tempura.After Aunt Tazi found out, every time she made tempura, she made a few for Mr. Cat.

The elder brother also likes fried shrimp tempura, but he will dislike Mr. Cat for being greedy, and at the same time give Mr. Cat his own tempura, but he is unwilling to ask her to share his tempura.

Those warm bits and pieces, in memory, never fade.

Actually, I don't want to eat tempura.

But... wanting to go home.

Natsume Chiaya lowered her eyes, and the tempura in her mouth suddenly became tasteless.

Just then, the door was knocked.

Natsume Chiaya turned off the fire, put the fried tempura on the dining table, and went to open the door.

I saw a white-haired young man next to Osamu Dazai, who greeted with a smile: "Qianya-chan, good evening~"

Natsume Chiaya: "Mr. Dazai? Why are you here so late?"

"Actually, it's fine for me to come here. It's just that this kid, here, his name is Atsushi Nakajima. He just joined the Armed Detective Agency. He is penniless and starved for several days. I really feel sorry for him."

Osamu Dazai showed exaggerated sympathy: "Listen, his stomach is growling. If there is something for him to eat, it will definitely make the boy feel the warmth between people, right? Especially the crab meat day Muro, the tender and smooth crab meat, wrapped in the coat, fried until golden-smooth, must be very delicious!"

Atsushi Nakajima: "..."

Atsushi Nakajima looked at Osamu Dazai with a numb face, your saliva is about to flow out, Mr. Dazai.

And, don't blame him for everything!He had only eaten dozens of bowls of ochazuke rice the night before — note, Osamu Dazai paid for it with Kunikida Doppo’s money — and he wasn’t hungry at all!

The moon is very round tonight, and the clear moonlight falls on the face of the black-haired young man, making that clear face more hazy and delicate.However, his smile is refreshing and bright, and his words are "laughing fruit" with a little bit of caution.

Natsume Chiaya was really teased by him and burst out laughing, she turned sideways to let Osamu Dazai and Atsushi Nakajima enter.Instead of puncturing Osamu Dazai's deliberately clumsy words, she said, "Well, I'm frying crab meat tempura and fresh bamboo shoot tempura. I can't finish it all by myself, can I ask you for a favor? "

"Of course!" Osamu Dazai happily went straight to the dining table: "Then I'm welcome! Crab tempura, hello, I'm Osamu Dazai, I'm very happy to eat you!"

Atsushi Nakajima couldn't see it.After entering the door, he apologized to Natsume Chiaya: "I'm sorry to bother you so late, uh..."

"My name is Natsume Chiaya."

"Hi, Miss Natsume, hello, I'm Atsushi Nakajima."

Atsushi Nakajima?

Natsume Chiaya couldn't help but smile.Even if she knew that Atsushi Nakajima was not the famous writer Atsushi Nakajima she was familiar with, she still felt strange.Those literary giants who have been learned in textbooks now exist in such a strange way in another world.

Osamu Dazai did not miss Chiaya Natsume's expression.He squinted his eyes, biting a piece of crab meat tempura, and said vaguely: "Don't look at Dun-kun like this, he can turn into a tiger~"

"tiger?"

Natsume Chiaya remembered that the commissions Dazai Osamu and Kunikida Doppo received were related to "man-eating tigers".

Moreover, Atsushi Nakajima and Tiger?Natsume Chiaya thought of the knowledge she had learned in textbooks before, and speculated that it should be related to the content of "Shanyue Ji".The protagonist of the story turns into a tiger in the end. In contrast, Mr. Atsushi Nakajima here has the ability of a tiger.

"That's what Chiya-chan thought." Osamu Dazai said, "Dun-kun is that 'man-eating tiger'. Of course, with the guts of Dun-kun, he wouldn't dare to eat people at all. So, I recommend him to join the armed detective Society. Congratulations Chiya-chan, you have a descendant!"

Atsushi Nakajima said angrily: "Who would eat people! Besides, can I really become a member of the Armed Detective Agency?" His doubts and lack of confidence in himself were evident on his face.

Natsume Qianling comforted him: "Dun-jun's supernatural ability is very powerful, don't be afraid, you will succeed."

Natsume Chiaya knew that there were two ways to join the Armed Detective Agency.One is an official member, responsible for various entrustments, like Dazai Osamu and Kunikida Doppo, and the other is an office worker, mainly responsible for paperwork, like her and Haruno Kirako.

The former needs to pass the entrance test, while the latter does not need to worry about so much.Since Atsushi Nakajima has supernatural powers, he should not be a clerk.

Of course, just because of his name, Natsume Chiya felt that he would definitely succeed.

"Thank you, Miss Natsume." Atsushi Nakajima forced a smile at Chiaya Natsume.

"Don't worry, it's better to enjoy the food than that. Human meat is not as good as crab meat."

Dazai Osamu didn't seem to know what he said lightly, turned his head to look at Natsume Chiaya, the empty plate in his hand was downturned: "Qianya sauce, there is no more~"

He always spoke as if he was being coquettish, but now his voice drooped, with a sense of grievance.

"Don't eat it so fast, Mr. Dazai." Natsume Chiaya first fried crab meat, which was half a plate full. She didn't expect Osamu Dazai to eat it up so quickly.

"Hey hey~" Dazai Osamu didn't know whether he listened or not, he looked at Natsume Chiaya expectantly.

Natsume Qianling shook her head helplessly, and said, "I'll fry new ones right away. Hmm... Do you want fresh bamboo shoots or crab meat?"

"Of course fresh bamboo shoots, right, Atsushi-kun?" Dazai Osamu answered for Nakajima Atsushi first.

Under Osamu Dazai's gaze, Atsushi Nakajima reflexively made the right choice: "Fresh bamboo shoots are fine, thank you Miss Natsume."

Natsume Chiaya: "..."

Natsume Chiaya said: "Mr. Dazai, don't bully the younger generation. You eat fresh bamboo shoots, and leave the crab meat for Atsu-kun—and me."

Her timely addition of "and me" successfully blocked Osamu Dazai's words.After all, the cannibal's mouth is soft, so Osamu Dazai had no choice but to say, "How can Qianling sauce do this?"

Atsushi Nakajima looked at Chiaya Natsume gratefully.This is what he imagined the seniors of the Armed Detective Agency to look like!Compared to Mr. Dazai, this Miss Natsume is simply an angel!

Natsume Chiya took the empty plate from Dazai Osamu, and said, "Please wait for a while, it will be ready soon."

"Miss Natsume, I'm here to help." Atsushi Nakajima stood up and followed Chiaya Natsume into the kitchen to help her.

Osamu Dazai lay unconsciously on the table, waiting for the tempura to be served.

The sound of the range hood and the bubbling smoke of hot oil sounded again in the kitchen, accompanied by the conversation between Chiaya Natsume and Atsushi Nakajima.

"Speaking of which, is Natsume-san also a supernatural power? What kind of supernatural power is it?"

"I'm not a supernatural being, just an ordinary person."

"Hey, that's it..."

ordinary people?Not necessarily, Miss Natsume.

Osamu Dazai tapped his chin with his index finger, thinking about the information he received today.

Being able to take down three gunmen at the same time in such a fast time, Miss Natsume's taijutsu can probably compete with Kunikida.Hmm, maybe more than half of Chuya's level.Moreover, the culprit was directly hit with a concussion, which shows how strong she is.

However, what's interesting is that she didn't show any signs of physical training all over her body.In other words, it was covered too well.There are no calluses on fingertips and no scar bruises that often develop after training.Moreover, since the gun/arms of the gangsters have been seized, why not just shoot them?Is it because it won't work?If there is such a physical skill, why is there no spear training?

Dazai Osamu looked sideways, and saw that the dormitory was neatly packed, and Chiaya Natsume's shoulder bag, which was almost always on her body, was hanging on the hook.

Curious, what's in there?

Osamu Dazai was thinking casually, when he heard footsteps coming from behind.He restrained his expression a little, and bent his eyes: "Qianling sauce, is it true that you can't eat crab meat?"

"Mr. Dazai, if you really want to eat it, can I invite you later when I buy it? Crab meat is cold in nature. You can't eat any more after eating half the plate." Natsume Chiaya said.

Osamu Dazai stared at Natsume Chiaya, and retreated after a while: "Okay." He picked up the tempura bamboo shoots sulkily, and crunched them into pieces.

Atsushi Nakajima was eating crab meat tempura, thinking to himself, today everyone saw Mr. Kunikida getting angry at Mr. Dazai, but he didn't expect to see Mr. Dazai being helpless against others.

Natsume Chiaya didn't know what Atsushi Nakajima was thinking.In the room that was empty and deserted before, the addition of two unexpected visitors, on the contrary, diluted the subtle emotions in Natsume Chiaya's heart.

She thought, maybe she should thank Osamu Dazai and Atsushi Nakajima for coming.

After eating this late-night supper, Osamu Dazai finally worked a little harder and helped clean up the kitchen.

Then, he drove Atsushi Nakajima back to sleep: "Don't sleep too late, Atsushi, he will not be tall. Do you know? I know a person who used to be only this tall, and then stayed up late every day to work, That’s why it’s still so high.”

Osamu Dazai made a statement while gesturing at a height of 1.6 meters.Atsushi Nakajima dubiously agreed, said "good night" to Natsume Chiaya, and returned to the dormitory arranged for him by the Armed Detective Agency.

But Dazai himself had no intention of moving.

Natsume Chiaya cast a puzzled look at him: "Mr. Dazai won't go back to rest?"
