My baby tamer can't be the leader

"Now you can tell me the whole plan, right?" Toru Amuro, who specially asked his subordinates to reserve a room next to the congressman just in case, pressed the headset with one hand, and after confirming that there are no redundant electronic devices in the room , then dialed Dazai's phone number, straight to the point, "It's the same as what we said before, if your plan—"

"Let's save this kind of cliché, Bourbon?" The young man on the other end of the phone said calmly, "You are responsible for installing the location of the bomb, and setting up the planning of the safe zone, and you are the one who decides the final outcome." people."

"But the most important part... that is, the timing of launching the plan is in your hands." Toro Amuro said heavily, "If the timing is wrong and the waters are missed, there is no guarantee that ordinary people will be able to If rescued in time, I will terminate this plan."

...Ah, so to speak, it is indeed different.

Dazai laughed, "Then do you know the consequences of the termination of the plan?"

Mori Ogai once taught him, 'As long as the interests are sufficient, one should make a decision without hesitation. This is the way of a wise man. '

In another world, he also abided by this creed with practical actions from the beginning to the end, so that Dazai once thought that such cold value judgments were the mainstream of the world when he was young.

Yes, although he never admitted it, he was trying to learn some things from Mori Ogai in the first place, so even now, he is sometimes surprised by the difference between the two worlds ...Or, it has nothing to do with the world, but just a difference in his mentality?

"If the plan ends here, not only will all the preparations you and I have made before be in vain, but we will also face the danger of being hunted down by the organization. Eat it up, and hide it even deeper... Even so, do you still insist?"

"Yes, I insist." Toru Amuro did not hesitate, "If the goal must be achieved by sacrificing innocent people, then what is the difference between me and other people in that organization?"

"...It's really enviable." Dazai said softly, "Maybe."

He is indeed good at deception, even if it is a piece of cake for him to recount all his experiences and embellish himself with complete innocence...but he will never do that.

Inferiority and arrogance coexist in him harmoniously and separately, just like his previous life... He couldn't completely devote himself to the darkness, and was confronted by the bright side.

Everything represented by the name 'Osamu Dazai' itself is fragmented and incomplete. It is obvious that living itself is painful enough for him, but the world has to build an even more unbearable weight on top of his tragedy code.

Some fragments of past memories resurfaced in Dazai's mind, like a slide projector out of control, flashing back to yesterday.

It's not that he can't control such a reaction, but at this moment, he doesn't really want to do that.

...It's been a long time, the mentality of wanting to run away.

If the final trial result is "guilty", then it must, must, be more painful than death, and even more suffocating.

Just by imagining that scene, even if he just met those indifferent eyes that were staring dimly through the mist from the corner of the phantom, as if he was staring at some monster that he was afraid to avoid, he subconsciously covered his eyes. He touched his heart, bent his fingertips helplessly, and lightly touched the cold gun on the inside of his clothes.

If it's something he never owned, he can barely deceive himself that he's just a sleazy thief who stole the memories of other 'Dazai's,' of which he's the protagonist, and he deserves what he deserves.

But, but...if even his [self] existence is also denied, and he can no longer find any excuses to excuse himself...

Perhaps, the only solution is to stay away from the beginning...

But with eyes that have already seen the beautiful fireworks, how can they tolerate the long silent night?

"...I really want to jump off."

"What?" Because there was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone, Toru Amuro thought that something unexpected happened on Dazai's side, but after he listened intently for a while, he heard the other party's low voice. Read aloud.

He was almost shocked!Rao is a seasoned and experienced police officer, he has never encountered a situation where a partner suddenly made a suicide declaration in the middle of the cooperation!

"Is it because the implementation of the plan has brought you too much pressure...? I can transfer you to a trustworthy counselor afterwards?"

"How difficult is this kind of house-like arrangement?" Dazai immediately changed the fleeting fragility on his face, and sneered coldly, "If you didn't want to arrange a member of parliament for me, those rats half a year ago It should all be wiped out.”

"That's because you don't want to change your nationality!" Toru Amuro gritted his teeth, "If a non-Japanese can become a member of parliament, are you afraid that you won't be scolded enough by the media? Become a member of parliament under a false identity?!"

"Hey? How can it be possible to just change the naturalization? When I get married, will you explain to her family for me? What if her family doesn't like foreigners?"

"The naturalization you mentioned is not the same as the naturalization I understand... and your reason is too far-fetched—too far-fetched!"

Dazai didn't understand Toru Amuro's painstaking efforts to hold back his swearing at all, instead he sighed helplessly, "Forget it, how can a guy like you who is single until now understand my pain."

"..." Toru Amuro suddenly felt that Gin Jiu was really a good partner. Although his mouth was threatening, at least the other party was a normal person... a normal criminal!

"In short, the informant will use secret words to convey where he put the list at 12 o'clock tonight, and then it is enough to convince the organization that the names mentioned on the list are real... gone."

"So, is the most difficult part to control the time to decipher the code?" Toru Amuro thought for a moment, "I'll confirm with you again, if it's just a conventional encryption method, even if it's superimposed several times, it will be based on the secret code deciphering experts in the organization. In terms of speed, I can roughly tell you a range—”

"Don't worry." Dazai said casually, "If they can't decipher it, it's enough for you or your subordinates to pretend to decipher the code."

"Why are you so sure...?"

"Then you can try it yourself, I don't care?"

"...I see, this is also for safety reasons."

Just before Toru Amuro was about to hang up the communication, Dazai asked abruptly, "The gemstone I want?"

"No. 53, the one in the display box is just for cover, the one you want is under the velvet of the display box, and the glass of that piece has been replaced with a non-bulletproof type... Of course, that gem His name will be completely revised in the file and defined as a failure to salvage in the sea, which is also for the sake of confidentiality."

"Is it so refreshing, I thought you would stick with me for a while?"

"Take it as your tacit feedback to my request. After all, I also know that someone must have told you that it doesn't matter even if it causes a certain sacrifice?"

Dazai seemed to laugh, but he didn't seem to, and then he hung up the communication, stood up calmly, leaned on the railing, and stared at the blue sea level with vaguely watching eyes in the distance. moment.

"If you jump from this height, it should be about the same as hitting the concrete floor directly..."

He didn't turn on the light, and the warm sun that was gradually slanting west lifted the last ray of light above the sea level, and the dancing golden light rendered the sky very refreshing.

But he knew that after a short period of warmth, what was about to come was a truly long night of coldness.

The waiting time will be so long that it will be suffocating, even if it is only a momentary "past" to him, but it is this moment that will determine his entire future.

Just then, his phone vibrated again.

Dazai didn't want to answer at first, but after noticing the caller's name, he immediately pressed the answer button.

"...Why didn't you make a sound when you picked it up? I've finished watching the exhibition." Xia Qi muttered, "You said you want to be busy for a while, are you done?"

"It's almost there." Dazai said sullenly, "It's so troublesome, so annoying."

"Okay, work is shit, and it's even more stupid to have a job that will suffer if you don't work for a while-cough, anyway, don't worry about it so much, come to the deck to watch the sunset?"

"I don't like crowded places, Xiaoqi." He complained softly, almost coquettishly, "The air is too turbid, I will suffocate."

"Are you Dioni's escaped princess?!" The other party complained, "Forget it, the sunset will only be a while away, so even if you come up now, you probably won't be able to make it in time."

"……Um."

"Why are you so wronged..." She sighed, and changed the interface to a video call, just about to point the camera at the sea level, when she noticed the afterglow of the sunset over Dazai, "Ah, are you still in the room? Can you see it too?"

"But it's meaningless without you."

"It's not that I won't come back——Okay, don't look at me with the expression of looking at scum! You can do whatever you want." She reluctantly turned the camera to herself, slightly stroked her forehead hair that was blown by the sea breeze, "Are you really not going to come up? If not, I'll go play with others later?"

"Oh? The aggressive method is too good!"

"You are autistic, don't take it for granted that I am also autistic! Well, I may be a little bit so, but of course you have to overcome it when you come out to play! And I asked you first."

Dazai frowned and thought about it, he had to find a place where he could get rid of those annoying high school students...

"So, are you going to play in the casino?"

"??? Is this a place with few people? Do you have any misunderstanding about few people?"

That's of course... fewer light bulbs means fewer people :).
