Oda is always misunderstood
Chapter 196
Oda Sakunosuke is very aware of his character.
In the situation where the positions are opposite and they don't know each other at all, it is impossible for [Oda] to sit and drink together in an amicable manner as [Dazai] wishes.
[Oda] will definitely fight [Dazai] with swords, Oda Sakunosuke has no doubts about this, and he absolutely, absolutely does not want to see such a result.
Will not hurt best friend.
This is the promise made by Oda Sakunosuke. Even if he is an unaware peer, he is obliged to prevent the tragedy from happening.
……
Dusk, when the devil meets.
When Oda Sakunosuke arrived at Lupin, the setting sun dyed half of the sky red.He was panting as he ran, and the paper bag containing fruits and vegetables had been thrown on the side of the road because of getting in the way.
There was a faint light in the depths of the alley, a slightly old signboard, and only a gap in the wooden door.
The red-haired man's fingertips were hanging in the air, a few centimeters away from the door.He hasn't figured out how to meet them, and how to convince [Oda] to trust him after the meeting.
Dazai squatted on his shoulder, flicked his fluffy tail, and patted Odasaku's back, silently reminding him.
Dazai is right, it has come to this point, it is useless to hesitate.
……let it go.
Oda Sakunosuke let out a shallow breath, and pushed open the wooden door.
The narrow and simple stairs and decorations, the melodious classical music, everything is the same as in memory.The sense of familiarity made Oda Sakunosuke unknowingly relaxed.
This kind of old stairs will not only make a crisp rattling sound when walking, but also accompanied by a "creaking" sound.
Thanks to his experience as an assassin in the past and fighting wits and courage with the black organization, his skills have not only not regressed, but have improved.Oda Sakunosuke subconsciously controlled the sound of his footsteps, making no sound along the way.
In an overly quiet environment, he heard some conversations coming from the tavern.
"...I never thought of setting a trap for you."[1]
It was the voice of [Dazai].
Things were not going well, so Oda Sakunosuke quickened his pace.
The heel of the leather shoe touched the last step, and there was a very light "click", breaking the frozen silence.
The two people sitting in front of the bar turned their heads and looked over. The black-haired young man was wearing a well-made black coat, and the red scarf around his neck was hanging obediently, just like the port Mafia under his command.
Such a big man should be proud and majestic, instead of showing a pitiful expression like a homeless cat that was thrown away in the torrential rain without warning.
The red-haired man sitting next to [Dazai] moved his body, his calm expression concealed vigilance, and he held a handle in his hand.gun.
It is his favorite gun that has been with him for a long time.It was for killing people in the past, but now it is for protecting, accompanying his partner from beginning to end.
At this moment, Oda Sakunosuke knew that he was still late.
"Put the gun away."
Oda Sakunosuke closed his eyes, and said coldly to [Oda] in front of the bar: "You shouldn't point your gun at your friends."
The emotions from a second ago still remained on their faces, and it was obvious that the conversation between them was not pleasant.And all of this turned into shock when they saw the person coming.
"Odasaku!" [Dazai] leaned on the bar and stood up quickly, almost knocking over the wine glass on the table with the back of his hand, but he turned a blind eye to it and murmured in disbelief: "Why are you here?! Is it because you don't have enough points... It shouldn’t be, I’ve clearly calculated everything.”
[Dazai] squinted his eyes, and his eyes touched the black cat squatting on Oda Sakunosuke's shoulder.
"What's going on here?" [Oda] was surprised when he saw someone who looked exactly like him, and even more vigilant.
[Oda] remembers that after returning home from get off work one day, the children concerned him nervously for several days.Under his questioning, Saku Le said that he met the sad-looking "Oda Sakunosuke" holding the black cat that day.
Therefore, the person Saku Le met was the red-haired man in front of him.
Immediately afterwards, [Oda] saw the cat he raised, and hesitantly called: "... Tsushima."
Hearing [Oda]'s call, the black cat jumped off the shoulder of the "other self", with a vigorous posture, ran to [Oda]'s feet in a few steps, pulled his trouser legs, lazily "Meow" sound.
This is because I am too lazy to climb up the table by myself and ask [Oda] for help.
Anyway, it is a cat that has been raised for many days. Although the black cat seems to have a lot of relationship with the enemy, [Oda] hesitated for a moment and bent down to hug him.
"Tsushima, weren't you left in Butei by me? How did you come here?" [Oda] asked in a low voice. He knew that the black cat was unusually smart and could understand human speech.
"He came with me." Oda Sakunosuke replied instead of Dazai.
... Tsushima.
In an instant, [Dazai] understood.
This cat is Dazai Osamu of the main world!
"It's you, so you ruined my plan." He gritted his teeth, "But why did you come?"
It is justifiable for Oda Sakunosuke to cross over, when did this guy come from the main world? !
This is something [Dazai] failed to understand.
"Mimi~ Meow Meow Meow Meow!" I came with Oda Saku, the 031 system is more capable and easier to use.
Osamu Dazai explained briskly.
It's a pity that no one present except Oda Saku could understand the cat language of a cat.
"He said he came with me..." Oda Sakunosuke acted as a temporary cat language translator.
"You can understand what cats say." [Oda] said in surprise.
Odasaku nodded.
"Really, it's really amazing." If most people would not believe it, [Oda] sighed with emotion and there was no more to say.
The two Oda works began with the slaughter of cats to open up the topic, but the atmosphere of the two Dazai became more and more condensed.
Seeing another self, they would only feel disgusting, and even the air would be somewhat polluted by the other party's black mud.
Perhaps [Dazai]'s malice was too obvious, [Oda] thought that [Dazai] was going to hurt the black cat, his brows were slightly frowned, and his free hand reflexively shielded it.
[Dazai]'s expression froze.
His expression twisted uncontrollably, and he couldn't suppress his anger.
It's you again, the guy who is so lucky that he can't help being jealous.How can you enjoy the care and protection of two Odasaku at the same time so logically?
He works hard, like a lost person who can't see the way forward and where he belongs in the vast wilderness, and like a tireless pilgrim who stumbles along the established path of destiny.
He's so tired and still doesn't get close from [Oda Saku] because he doesn't know anything.Even the friendship with another Odasaku is like a time-limited gift bestowed on him by fate.
Friendship, bond...
Why?
Why!
The same as "Dazai Osamu", how can the Dazai Osamu of the main world get everything easily? !
An aura of death that annihilates everything emanates from the black-haired young man, and his kite pupils sink into darkness thicker than the night.
This is [Osamu Dazai] who has been immersed in darkness for a long time, and his body and mind are covered with black mud.He was lying on his back in the gutter, with sewage flowing over his body, and only a bright moon in the night sky was in his eyes.
And now, on the moon that he dared not reach out to touch, sat a lucky black cat.
He still yelled at him like a beating!
This makes [Dazai Osamu] how can he not be angry!
The black cat jumped onto the table, squatted down at a distance not too far away, and continued to stare at each other with [Dazai].
Just when [Dazai] couldn't restrain the evil thoughts in his heart and was about to blurt out some cruel words, Oda Sakunosuke walked up to him.
The red-haired man sat between [Dazai] and [Oda], separating their eyes.
That was reserved by [Dazai] for [Oda], who chose another location for safety reasons.
There were two glasses of wine on the table, one half-drunk and the other untouched.
"Has anyone ever drank this glass of wine?" Oda Sakunosuke asked.
[Dazai] held back the words before he had time to say, and sat back on the high chair sullenly, with a gloomy expression on his face.
[Oda] It is not clear whether the person who looks like him in front of him is good or bad, but he paused, reminded tactfully and bluntly: "This glass of wine was prepared in advance by Chief Dazai from the port of Mafia. "
Oda Sakunosuke glanced at him, "I'm a little thirsty, can you give it to me?"
"...please."
Oda Sakunosuke took it, raised his head and swallowed it all.He didn't lie, he hurried all the way across most of Yokohama, he really needed to replenish water.
Everyone present was taken aback and froze on the spot.Everyone felt that he was connoting [Oda] and helping [Dazai] prove his goodwill.
Oda Sakunosuke was more or less cautious, otherwise there would be wine bottles all over the wall, unopened wine and empty wine glasses on the table, why did he have to have this glass?
"Cough." Oda Sakunosuke wiped the liquid from his lips with the back of his hand carelessly, and there was a crisp sound when the base of the cup touched the bar.
"Why don't you sit down?" Oda Sakunosuke turned to look at [Oda], "If you don't mind me being one more person chatting, please sit down."
He turned his face sideways and looked down at the gun in [Oda]'s hand.
"Put the gun away," he said. "I can assure you that there are no traps or ambushes, nor any enemies. It's not the time to use a gun."
Perhaps Oda Sakunosuke has experienced more than [Oda], even though he is about the same age, Oda Saku has a more mature temperament.
Oda Sakunosuke's aura stunned the audience.
"...I can't believe you." [Oda] did not let go of his gun hand, "He is the leader of Mafia at the port."
There was a deep-rooted disgust in his tone.
Oda Sakunosuke nodded: "I understand."
He got up from the bar chair and approached [Dazai].
[Dazai] took no defense against him, his kite-colored eyes were extremely numb and peaceful.He looked up at Odasaku slightly, quietly waiting for the upcoming trial.
Oda Sakunosuke stretched out his hand, and swiftly took away the red scarf that [Dazai] was hanging around his neck—the red scarf that represented the head of Mafia at the port, and threw it far away on the seat beside him.
Rao [Dazai] didn't expect this to come out either.
"Wait, wait...Odasaku, don't throw it away." [Dazai] can't laugh or cry.
Oda Sakunosuke pressed [Dazai]'s hand that was about to reach out to take it back, and said calmly, "Now, he is not the leader."
"It's just a scarf..." [Oda] frowned.
"That's a token. Mr. Mori... Ah, the former leaders before him, including the ancestors, all used this scarf as a symbol of the leader." The black cat who watched coldly from the sidelines suddenly spoke out.
Too many things happened, and [Oda] found that he could calmly accept the fact that the cat he picked up could talk, and even asked, "Didn't you not know how to talk just now?"
Osamu Dazai: "I used a little prop, and it has a time limit."
In fact, it is a temporary translator bought at the mall with a 24-hour time limit, which is enough.
"Is this okay? If not, I can still take off his coat." Oda Sakunosuke's hand rested on [Dazai]'s collar, only waiting for an order (?), and immediately started.
[Dazai] looks like a cat caught in the back of the neck, with a blank face.
"Forget it." [Oda] didn't know why it became such a development, he shook his head, hesitated for a while, and sat back in his original position.His goal—to save Ryunosuke Akutagawa's life from the port Mafia—has not been fulfilled, and he can't go yet.
The so-called coat and scarf that represent Mafia are foreign objects. [Dazai] does not rule the night of Yokohama with a scarf, and Mafia does not mean that he is a good person if he takes off his black suit.
Removing the scarf here is far more symbolic than practical.
This means that [Dazai Osamu] is willing to temporarily abandon other identities and only exist as [Dazai Osamu].The participants in this conversation were not the port Mafia leader and Butei members, but [Dazai Osamu] and [Oda Sakunosuke].
Putting aside the secular standpoint and just having a dialogue as an individual—this is the message that Oda Sakunosuke wants to convey.
[Oda] Received it.His sensibility told him that the black-haired young man in front of him was sincere and friendly.His rationality is always clamoring: This is the leader of the port Mafia!The incarnation of the night who committed countless evil deeds and ruled Yokohama and even the entire Kanto with fear.
How can such a person be trusted? !
What's more, many years ago, it was the people from Mafia at the port who snatched that painting-an important thing that he kept his promise and has been protecting.This incident was like a thorn in his heart from beginning to end.
His distaste for the port of Mafia, thus born.
[Oda] thought so, and drew his gun because of it.
But now, he miraculously met someone who also called himself "Oda Sakunosuke" and looked exactly like him.And Tsushima - the talking cat.
A series of miraculous events happened, [Oda] not only did not feel dizzy, but became more sober.
[Oda] sat down and watched with cold eyes.Watching [Dazai] affectionately call the other him "Oda Saku", the two of them had a skillful conversation, and the topic of conversation had nothing to do with Mafia.
He listened intently for a while, and what he was talking about was that the ingredients used to make curry were lost on the way here.
Tsushima interrupted naturally, coquettishly saying something like "Why does Oda only make him spicy curry, I want it too". [Dazai] retorted not to be outdone.
One person and one cat quarreled with each other in front of the two Odasaku.
[Oda] wisely kept silent, Oda Saku seemed to be used to it, and eased the conflict in two or three strokes.
...The leader of the port Mafia, does he still have such a childish side?
[Oda] doubted his eyes again.
"Wine for you."
[Dazai] remixed two glasses of wine, using unused wine from the previous opening.
The ice cubes floated up and down in the clear wine, [Oda] stared at the glass for a long time, and finally brought it to his lips, and took a sip.
But only one bite.
Four people... three people and one cat stayed quietly for a while.
No one knew what to say, and no one knew where to start this ridiculous story.
There was silence in the small tavern, no one made a sound, only the unchanging classical music flowed quietly.
[Dazai] suddenly felt extremely tired.
"Odasaku, you shouldn't be here," [Dazai] said.
[Oda] did not respond, he felt that this sentence was not meant for him.
Sure enough, the red-haired man sitting in the middle held his wine glass and said in a deep voice, "Dazai, 'I' have the right to know the truth."
[Dazai] restrained his smile, and said softly: "It's best for you if you don't know anything."
Oda Sakunosuke closed his eyes and said coldly, "Dazai, I will be angry too."
[Dazai]'s face froze, the hand holding the wine glass slowly tightened, and the fingertips turned white.
Odasaku: "Generally, I know everything from Dazai. Including this world where everything is upside down, and the thing you have been guarding..."
[Osamu Dazai]'s expression changed drastically, and he interrupted: "Oda Saku, stop talking!"
There is [Oda] sitting next to him!
Oda Sakunosuke and Dazai Osamu will return sooner or later, but [Oda] is different!
"Sorry to interrupt." [Oda], who had been listening silently, couldn't help interjecting: "Can I ask a question?"
Oda Sakunosuke nodded: "Please."
[Oda] asked, "Why do you look exactly like me?"
"Because I am you, you in another world." Oda Sakunosuke replied.
[Oda] said without changing his face: "What about the evidence? Without evidence, I can't believe your one-sided statement."
Oda Sakunosuke counted down his past one by one, [Oda] finally frowned slightly.Until Oda Saku said, "I found a seriously injured man at the door of the house, and this man is Dazai", [Oda] turned his head to look at [Dazai Osamu].
[Oda] looked at the black-haired young man carefully, and thought.
"It's you." [Oda] said, "The man who collapsed at the door of my house with bandages all over his body and never spoke was you."
[Dazai] tilted his head to avoid [Oda]'s sight, and couldn't bear the redness that would tear his soul away.naked eyes.
[Dazai] knows what Odasaku is going to say next.In the original world, Oda Sakunosuke joined the port Mafia at the invitation of Osamu Dazai in order to avoid the never-ending pursuit of criminal organizations and to protect the paintings.
Here, he took the painting away ahead of time, kept it in the port of Mafia, and returned it to its owner a year later. [2]
If [Oda] knows the truth, he will be able to wash away some of his grievances.At least the two of them can sit down and have a drink together.
But, no, absolutely not.He is a dying person, how can...
The surrounding air became much thinner. Before Oda Sakunosuke said the next word, [Dazai] pretended to be relaxed and said: "[Oda Saku], the reason why I brought Akutagawa-kun to the port Mafia is to protect this world.”[3]
In the situation where the positions are opposite and they don't know each other at all, it is impossible for [Oda] to sit and drink together in an amicable manner as [Dazai] wishes.
[Oda] will definitely fight [Dazai] with swords, Oda Sakunosuke has no doubts about this, and he absolutely, absolutely does not want to see such a result.
Will not hurt best friend.
This is the promise made by Oda Sakunosuke. Even if he is an unaware peer, he is obliged to prevent the tragedy from happening.
……
Dusk, when the devil meets.
When Oda Sakunosuke arrived at Lupin, the setting sun dyed half of the sky red.He was panting as he ran, and the paper bag containing fruits and vegetables had been thrown on the side of the road because of getting in the way.
There was a faint light in the depths of the alley, a slightly old signboard, and only a gap in the wooden door.
The red-haired man's fingertips were hanging in the air, a few centimeters away from the door.He hasn't figured out how to meet them, and how to convince [Oda] to trust him after the meeting.
Dazai squatted on his shoulder, flicked his fluffy tail, and patted Odasaku's back, silently reminding him.
Dazai is right, it has come to this point, it is useless to hesitate.
……let it go.
Oda Sakunosuke let out a shallow breath, and pushed open the wooden door.
The narrow and simple stairs and decorations, the melodious classical music, everything is the same as in memory.The sense of familiarity made Oda Sakunosuke unknowingly relaxed.
This kind of old stairs will not only make a crisp rattling sound when walking, but also accompanied by a "creaking" sound.
Thanks to his experience as an assassin in the past and fighting wits and courage with the black organization, his skills have not only not regressed, but have improved.Oda Sakunosuke subconsciously controlled the sound of his footsteps, making no sound along the way.

"Odasaku!" [Dazai] leaned on the bar and stood up quickly, almost knocking over the wine glass on the table with the back of his hand, but he turned a blind eye to it and murmured in disbelief: "Why are you here?! Is it because you don't have enough points... It shouldn’t be, I’ve clearly calculated everything.”
[Dazai] squinted his eyes, and his eyes touched the black cat squatting on Oda Sakunosuke's shoulder.

[Oda] doubted his eyes again.
"Wine for you."
[Dazai] remixed two glasses of wine, using unused wine from the previous opening.
The ice cubes floated up and down in the clear wine, [Oda] stared at the glass for a long time, and finally brought it to his lips, and took a sip.
But only one bite.
Four people... three people and one cat stayed quietly for a while.
No one knew what to say, and no one knew where to start this ridiculous story.
There was silence in the small tavern, no one made a sound, only the unchanging classical music flowed quietly.
[Dazai] suddenly felt extremely tired.
"Odasaku, you shouldn't be here," [Dazai] said.
[Oda] did not respond, he felt that this sentence was not meant for him.
Sure enough, the red-haired man sitting in the middle held his wine glass and said in a deep voice, "Dazai, 'I' have the right to know the truth."
[Dazai] restrained his smile, and said softly: "It's best for you if you don't know anything."
Oda Sakunosuke closed his eyes and said coldly, "Dazai, I will be angry too."
[Dazai]'s face froze, the hand holding the wine glass slowly tightened, and the fingertips turned white.
Odasaku: "Generally, I know everything from Dazai. Including this world where everything is upside down, and the thing you have been guarding..."
[Osamu Dazai]'s expression changed drastically, and he interrupted: "Oda Saku, stop talking!"
There is [Oda] sitting next to him!
Oda Sakunosuke and Dazai Osamu will return sooner or later, but [Oda] is different!
"Sorry to interrupt." [Oda], who had been listening silently, couldn't help interjecting: "Can I ask a question?"
Oda Sakunosuke nodded: "Please."
[Oda] asked, "Why do you look exactly like me?"
"Because I am you, you in another world." Oda Sakunosuke replied.
[Oda] said without changing his face: "What about the evidence? Without evidence, I can't believe your one-sided statement."
Oda Sakunosuke counted down his past one by one, [Oda] finally frowned slightly.Until Oda Saku said, "I found a seriously injured man at the door of the house, and this man is Dazai", [Oda] turned his head to look at [Dazai Osamu].
[Oda] looked at the black-haired young man carefully, and thought.
"It's you." [Oda] said, "The man who collapsed at the door of my house with bandages all over his body and never spoke was you."
[Dazai] tilted his head to avoid [Oda]'s sight, and couldn't bear the redness that would tear his soul away.naked eyes.
[Dazai] knows what Odasaku is going to say next.In the original world, Oda Sakunosuke joined the port Mafia at the invitation of Osamu Dazai in order to avoid the never-ending pursuit of criminal organizations and to protect the paintings.
Here, he took the painting away ahead of time, kept it in the port of Mafia, and returned it to its owner a year later. [2]
If [Oda] knows the truth, he will be able to wash away some of his grievances.At least the two of them can sit down and have a drink together.
But, no, absolutely not.He is a dying person, how can...
The surrounding air became much thinner. Before Oda Sakunosuke said the next word, [Dazai] pretended to be relaxed and said: "[Oda Saku], the reason why I brought Akutagawa-kun to the port Mafia is to protect this world.”[3]
