did you see my dad

On such a dark night, former partners meet again.

The red-haired young man showed a sarcastic smile, put his hands in his pockets high above, raised his chin and said to Osamu Dazai: "Isn't this Dazai, I haven't seen you like this for a few days." (→Suddenly want to use this sentence hahaha!)

The bandaged young man whose name was mentioned didn't show any anger, but smiled knowingly: "Isn't this the mafia cadre at the port? Why, is it your turn to protect the safety of the street now? Mr. Zhongya——"

Obviously, his character has long been mastered by Osamu Dazai, and just a few words made Nakahara Chuya's eyes sharpen: "You guy..."

Things were interrupted, and realizing that the two groups of people were not together, the boy who was caught by the collar of Kunikida unbuttoned his coat like a snake, bent down and escaped while he was unprepared, according to the familiar rules of this street Advantage Hide in the dark and escape quickly.

Kunikida threw down the coat he was holding, and chased after him: "You brat!"

Osamu Dazai wanted to catch up subconsciously, but Huali grabbed the hem of his clothes behind him.

Her strength is so small that she can almost break free with just a tug.She raised her face with tears in her eyes and looked helpless. , it seems that as long as he ignores her and runs away, he might really cry a lot.Osamu Dazai obviously noticed this, and he could only remain motionless. He heard the slight sound of landing in his ears, he turned his head, and had a stare with his former partner from a different camp.

The silence was interrupted by Nakahara Chuya's sneer, perhaps because his height has remained unchanged for many years, Nakahara Nakaya, who belongs to the port mafia, is not too close. In this case, there is no need to look up because of his short stature. Osamu Dazai, obviously Osamu Dazai also understood this, showing a meaningful smile.

"It seems that your height doesn't seem to change when I'm not around."

He is well aware of where the Achilles' heel of Chuya in the Central Plains is. Even if he used to be a mafia-party, he was as noisy as a deadly rival. He can only stop this childish behavior when he is doing tasks, and it is still the same now.

"I'm also very upset to see that you're not dead." A layer of dark red light appeared on the ocher-haired young man, apparently activating his gravity ability. His eyes were attracted by the child behind Osamu Dazai , he seems to have never seen when Osamu Dazai would protect others, no, and Oda Saku.

but now--

"The child behind you won't be your illegitimate daughter?" Zhong Yuanzhong also marched towards him mockingly.

Osamu Dazai's smile widened. A person who can make fun of his own president would not restrain himself when facing Nakahara Nakaya. Instead, he moved his body away enough for Nakahara Nakaya to see her eyes, and then did it aside. Showing an awkward expression: "If you say so, your eyes are so similar, maybe your child has a higher chance~"

On the matter of angering Nakahara Chuya, Osamu Dazai said second, and no one said first.

Zhong Yuanzhong also showed signs of being irritated. He narrowed his eyes on Huali for a while, but then remembered his purpose for coming out, and snorted: "I'll come to you next time to settle the score."

After speaking, his figure flickered, he stepped on the wall and ran up the fence, chasing in the direction Kunikida was chasing.Osamu Dazai looked at his back, vaguely aware of something strange.

There must be some mission for him to run out at night, and his pursuit is obviously not Kunikida, but the escaped child.

Now this matter seems to be much more troublesome.

He lowered his head to check on Huali's situation, maybe Zhongyuan Zhongye's actions were too strange just now, Huali was stunned for a while, and even forgot to cry.

Osamu Dazai called Kunikida, and after seven or eight rings, Kunikida panted back to his call: "This kid is very strange, he disappeared in a blink of an eye."

It's really strange, maybe there are some secrets on him that even the mafia would like to know.

"Go back first," Osamu Dazai suddenly felt a heat source on his leg, looked down and found that Huali seemed to be afraid of the darkness of this alley and hugged his thigh, Osamu Dazai resisted the desire to get rid of her -Wang, quickly said the next sentence, "You should go back to the alley as soon as possible, and contact you if you have anything to do."

After the phone was hung up, Osamu Dazai began to worry about how to deal with the child who was hugging his lap.

Huali stared at him with wet eyes, although she didn't say a word, Dazai already knew what she meant.

It seems that he doesn't want to let go.

"If you're afraid," Osamu Dazai could only give up his hand in order to save his thigh because he felt a weird discomfort in being hugged by a soft child, "Then take my hand."

Sure enough, Huali let go of his leg after hearing this, and grabbed his two fingers with a clear goal, but she still couldn't help getting close to him, and they walked slowly towards the entrance of the alley, with The nasal voice asked him: "Brother Dazai, is it true that I can't find Dad's photo?"

This question... Osamu Dazai didn't want to answer.

He was worried that the child would cry again because of his indifferent answer, wet tears covered her face, and it would be troublesome to coax her.

For this reason, he could only lie and said, "Well, there is still a chance."

He didn't know that the child was so easy to coax, but he just said something ambiguous, and the child stopped and looked at him with wide eyes. The warm yellow light at the entrance of the alley softened her face even more. Her eyes were full of joy, she didn't know how to deceive at this age, she stubbornly believed that what the adults said was correct, so she chose to believe him without any bottom line.

She wiped away her tears with her sleeve, and suddenly regained her energetic appearance: "Okay!"

Really... so coaxing.

And at this moment when he didn't know what to say, Kunikida had already run back.

He was still out of breath, and didn't understand why Osamu Dazai pushed Huali to him as if seeing a savior when he saw him: "I'll leave it to you."

Kunikida didn't know what happened between them at all, he picked up Huali and held it in his arms, and when he was walking back with Osamu Dazai, he thought of Chuya Nakahara who came uninvited, and he asked as if he had reacted : "What is that guy doing here?"

"That boy," Osamu Dazai paused for a second, his eyes darkened, "maybe there is something worthy of the underworld's wooing."

Kunikida suddenly realized: "No wonder I couldn't find him just now... I was careless and let him slip away."

"That guy may not be able to find him," Dazai Osamu still did not forget to taunt Nakahara Chuya at this time, "The only thing that is certain now is that it will be more difficult to catch him in the future."

"Go back to the president and discuss countermeasures."

Kunikida sighed: "That's the only way to go."

It was too late, they jointly made a decision to discuss the matter the next day, and Huali had already fallen asleep in Kunikida's arms with peace of mind.

She was having a hard time tonight, too.

Before Huali woke up the next day, President Fukuzawa received Dazai Osamu's summary of last night's events. For this reason, they held a small meeting and asked her to stay here temporarily until she found her family.

When asked if there were any objections, no one was dissatisfied with the president's decision.

It's just a child, and he is well-behaved and doesn't make trouble, so there is no need for them to drive such a small child out of here to live on the streets.

Looking through the window at Huali who was dozing off on the sofa, President Fukuzawa made a final summary: "Wait for Ranbu and them to come back in two days, and remind them of this matter."

As for the boy—

After returning to the office, Fukuzawa Yukichi called Mori Ogai, the leader of the mafia, and a man's deep and magnetic voice came from the other end of the phone: "Your Majesty Fukuzawa, what can I do?"

"Doctor Mori, I think it's necessary to talk about what happened last night." Not taking Mori Ogai's trick of pretending to be ignorant, Fukuzawa Yukichi pointed it out directly, without giving him a chance to evade, "That boy is right What use you have I don't know, but he took a child's stuff."

"Ah..." Mori Ogai leaned back in the chair and sighed, "If it's a loli under 12 years old, I can think about it."

The serious President Fukuzawa seemed unable to stand Mori Ogai's hobby, and closed his mouth again after a long while before continuing: "I hope I can return her things, this is my request."

"Why didn't I know...you still have children in your detective agency?" Mori Ogai questioned and changed the subject.

Thinking that if Nakahara had seen Huali last night, he would definitely tell Mori Ogai, and Fukuzawa Yukichi was no nonsense, so he responded like a kid, "Well, it's a new kid."

A man's laughter came from the other end of the phone.

Fukuzawa Yukichi waited for his reply. After all, Nakahara Nakahara was able to squat there, he should have been prepared, and maybe the boy had already been caught.But Fukuzawa Yukichi couldn't hear any useful information from Mori Ogai's words.

"Then what would you exchange for it?" Mori Ogai finally showed his ponytail, and he did not hide his emotions at all, "I heard that the child is very good, if possible, it shouldn't matter if you come to my house for two days. "

Hearing this, President Fukuzawa increased his volume, and shouted his name like a warning: "Doctor Mori——!"

"I won't eat her," Mori Ogai, the leader, was nimbly turning a pen in his hand. He talked about the conditions with Fukuzawa Yukichi slowly, and he sighed as if he was embarrassed , "I heard that she is looking for her father, right? Her mother has also passed away. What a poor child."

Fukuzawa Yukichi's face was so serious that no one dared to speak to him.

"You don't suffer from this deal, right? I just think it's cute so I want to get to know her. After all, if it's her father in the photo, it's someone I know, Your Excellency Fukuzawa."

When this heavy news fell, Fukuzawa Yukichi was so shocked that he didn't speak for a while.

Anyone Mori Ogai knows...?

The president can't help but need to rethink this issue, but if the child is sent to the mafia, he is not very relieved.

This is a dilemma for him.Accepting Huali's commission, they naturally wanted to find her father for her, but the only condition for exchanging photos was to let Huali go to Mori Ogai. Although he knew that Mori Ogai would not do anything to her, he was still worried. .

He didn't know if that would be a trap for Huali to fall into another vortex. During the long wait, the veins on the back of Fukuzawa Yukichi's hand holding the phone bulged. He stared at Huali on the sofa, and finally opened his eyes. Mouth: "I refuse."

Huali sat on the sofa and yawned for a long time.

President Fukuzawa recruited her.

Huali thought she was asking her to help with something, so she cheered up and stood beside him, raising her head like a little soldier waiting for an order from the general.

However, the silver-haired man in front of him just looked at her slightly swollen eyes, pointed to the sofa in the office and told her to go to sleep.Kunikida and Osamu Dazai outside the door were carrying documents, passing by the sofa from time to time. In his opinion, the possibility of the documents falling was not small, and it was safer to stay with him.

He didn't mention the photo.

And Hualiwo couldn't fall asleep on the sofa, but yawned drowsily. The president who handled the affairs watched her change her sleeping position from time to time, and asked in a low voice, "Did you sleep uncomfortably?"

Even though Huali doesn't like to trouble others, she relaxes under his caring tone like a father, and honestly answers after hearing his words: "It's a bit cold."

After all, it is autumn, and the leather sofa is indeed cold, Fukuzawa Yukichi thought of this trick.

He pondered, and finally made a suggestion that he thought would be offensive even if he said it himself: "Do you need me to hug you to sleep?"

The moment he said it, the over forty-year-old president frowned slightly, thinking whether such a proposal would seem too abrupt to a child who had just met him not long ago.

Huali had already run off the sofa with the blanket in her arms, and she blinked cutely after hearing his words: "Is it okay?"

Unexpectedly, she would answer like this, Fuze thought he had misheard and looked towards her, but found that the child didn't mean to refuse him reluctantly because it was difficult to refuse him, but walked towards him expectantly.

This result made him a little unexpected, but there is no reason to turn back when you open the bow.

In silence, he moved the chair back a little, and then stretched out his hand to her, but when Huali was happily about to put his hand in his palm, he heard the man say wait a minute.

Huali, who withdrew her hand, thought he was about to repent and seemed a little disappointed.

The man turned his back to untie something, there was a rustling sound, followed by the sound of a heavy object being placed on the table solemnly, Huali looked up and saw the sword that had hit her once.

It can be seen that it is well maintained, and there are no signs of serious wear on the scabbard.

Fukuzawa Yukichi sat down on the chair again, this time he didn't pause any longer, and directly hugged her in his arms. Due to his inexperience, he frowned and fiddled with her for a long time, trying to find a comfortable position for her, but in the end he failed up.

Huali kicked off her shoes, hugged his thin waist and leaned against him, her legs curled up and nestled in his arms.Because of his small stature, curling up like this doesn't seem to take up much space, and it won't be a burden on him to handle official duties.

"is this OK?"

The man lowered his head and asked her softly, and after receiving Huali's affirmation, he covered her body with a small blanket, covering her little feet.

Huali just closed her eyes and slept, like a kitten close to Fukuzawa Yukichi, quiet and well-behaved. Fukuzawa Yukichi couldn't help but be attracted to watch for a while, and then was interrupted by a message on the phone.

It was a message from Luanbu, they had completed the commission and were on their way back.
