The right way to polish a diamond

"Akutagawa, Atsushi-kun, you two are so slow!" Osamu Dazai, who was spitting bubbles in the pool, sat up a little bit, exposing his face and neck, and gave the two of them a flirty look.

"Sorry, Mr. Dazai!" Akutagawa Ryunosuke apologized reflexively, bowing his head slightly.

Atsushi Nakajima also said embarrassedly: "Sorry, Mr. Dazai and Mr. Nakaya, I kept you waiting for so long."

"It's not a long wait, it's just a vacation." Nakahara Chuya brushed Dazai Osamu's hair, looked at Akutagawa Ryunosuke, and said helplessly, "Akutagawa, put your coat aside first, I'm here here I am."

"...Yes." Akutagawa Ryunosuke hesitated for a moment, picked the biggest stone by the pool, put his coat behind the stone, carefully submerged the water, and sat close to the stone by the hot spring pool.

This way it won't get the coat 0 wet, and he can reach it as soon as he reaches out.

Atsushi Nakajima saw how much Ryunosuke Akutagawa cared about the coat, and then remembered that the other party had given him the coat to wear, and couldn't help but be moved.

Of course, that doesn't offset how obnoxious Akutagawa Ryunosuke is.However, Nakajima Atsushi also somewhat understood the meaning of a partner.

For this identity, Akutagawa Ryunosuke does... understand more... deeply than him?Under the same circumstances, he might not be able to hand over his life to the opponent like Akutagawa Ryunosuke.

Mr. Nakaya also discovered this when teaching them. Atsushi Nakajima clenched his fists. No matter how much they hate each other, they can completely trust each other when facing the enemy.

——They are partners.

Osamu Dazai's eyes swept over Atsushi Nakajima, and a smile appeared in his kite-colored eyes.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke and Nakajima Atsushi looked at the red dots on the skins of Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuya that were exposed to the water, their eyes drifted slightly, and they politely looked away.

The two looked at each other inadvertently, and suddenly understood each other's mood at the moment.It's one thing to know that two people are in a relationship, it's another to face the fact that they're already in this way.

There's a 'so they're really together' feeling.

After becoming lovers, Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuya have little difference in the way they get along with each other. It is only now that the two have received a belated impact.

Osamu Dazai knew exactly what Akutagawa Ryunosuke and Nakajima Atsushi were thinking. Although he and Nakajima didn't do anything last night, there were still traces of what happened before.

His eyes fell on Nakahara Nakaya, looking at the red marks left by him with satisfaction.

Nakahara Nakahara, who was feeling chilly for a while, poured a handful of water on Osamu Dazai's face.

Osamu Dazai snapped back.

There were waves in the hot spring pool.

Atsushi Nakajima retreated silently, not wanting to harm the innocent: Ah, the two seniors are really... lively.

He only found out today that the so-called competitive rivalry between partners and the flirting between lovers can actually be equated.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Ryunosuke Akutagawa.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke looked back at him, his eyes calm and indifferent.

Atsushi Nakajima withdrew his gaze and shook his head frantically in his heart: Impossible!Absolutely impossible!There must be something wrong with the way Mr. Dazai and Mr. Nakaya get along as partners!He and Akutagawa Ryunosuke would never fight so childishly!

——It seems that they are very mature when they usually quarrel!

In front of Akutagawa Ryunosuke and Nakajima Atsushi, Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuya had a quarrel, and it was quite reasonable.

Nakahara also grabbed Osamu Dazai by the back of the head, threatening to push him into the water if he didn't let go.Osamu Dazai held Chuya Chuya in his arms, and threatened that even if he was pushed into the water, he would bring Chuya Chuya to sink with him!

Atsushi Nakajima: ...

He looked at Akutagawa Ryunosuke who got up, remembered that Nakahara asked him to help him watch over him, and asked, "Akutagawa, where are you going?"

Akutagawa Ryunosuke froze.

Nakahara Chuya turned his head and saw that Akutagawa Ryunosuke's perennially pale face was a bit bloody, and said with relief: "Okay, this time Akutagawa's soaking time is long enough, you can rest for a while."

As soon as Akutagawa Ryunosuke breathed a sigh of relief, he heard Nakahara Chuya say, "Just right, I'll rub your back."

Osamu Dazai who was pushed away by Chuya Nakahara:! ! !

He also looked at Akutagawa Ryunosuke, the smile on his face remained unchanged, his eyes darkened.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa gasped and coughed, "Ahem...ahem...no need, Mr. Chuya!"

"Don't be silly!" Nakahara said, "Didn't we rub each other's backs before?"

Osamu Dazai's eyes sharpened immediately, and he stabbed at Ryunosuke Akutagawa.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa's body stiffened like a light on his back, and he couldn't stop coughing while covering his mouth.

Nakahara Chuya got up from the hot spring and went ashore, "Akutagawa, are you okay?"

As soon as Ryunosuke Akutagawa recovered his breath, he quickly said, "Mr. Chuya, I don't need to..."

Osamu Dazai was lying on the stone by the hot spring pool, interjected unhappily: "Chuya, I want to rub my back too!"

Atsushi Nakajima said at the right time: "Mr. Dazai, I can..." rub your back.

Last time when he was in the hot spring with everyone from the Armed Detective Agency, he wanted to rub the backs of his seniors to express his gratitude. Although he didn't do it later for some reasons, he was very willing to have the opportunity this time...

Akutagawa Ryunosuke immediately glared at Atsushi Nakajima.

Osamu Dazai interrupted Atsushi Nakajima, and then said to Nakahara Nakaya: "Atsushi said he could rub Akutagawa's back."

Atsushi Nakajima:? ? ? ! ! !

Ryunosuke Akutagawa: ...

Nakahara Chuya: ...

He looked at Atsushi Nakajima.

"Atsu-kun must also want to have a good relationship with his partner." Osamu Dazai asked with a smile, his eyes fell on Ryunosuke Akutagawa, and asked suggestively, "You think so, Akutagawa?"

"Yes!" Akutagawa Ryunosuke's words seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, with a vicious taste of gnashing teeth, "I'm very happy."

He looked at Atsushi Nakajima with burning eyes, as if the other party would use "Rashomon" if he refused to agree.

Atsushi Nakajima, who was watched by three eyes at the same time: "...I'm fine." If Akutagawa didn't strike first.

Nakahara Nakaya looked at the back of Akutagawa Ryunosuke and Nakajima Atsushi leaving together, and felt that Nakajima Atsushi's back was bleak and miserable, and the gloomy atmosphere around Akutagawa Ryunosuke was more than when he came to the hot spring Nothing less than that.

"Looking at the two of them like that, it doesn't seem like they are really willing." Zhong Yuanzhong also commented helplessly.What is the trouble?

Osamu Dazai said: "With Chuya's order, Akutagawa will not act first."

"Okay then." Nakahara blinked, raised his voice, and said in a playful tone, "Auntie, be gentle, Akutagawa is very delicate."

Atsushi Nakajima, who was about to enter the house, stumbled, and turned his head to look at Nakahara Chuya, then at Akutagawa Ryunosuke, his big purple-gold eyes were full of shock.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke stared back, covered his mouth and continued to cough, "...Mr. Chuya, Higuchi was joking."

Atsushi Nakajima understood, "Is that Miss Higuchi?"

He thought inexplicably: Although he knew that Ms. Higuchi admired Akutagawa very much, he really didn't expect Akutagawa to have such an image in her eyes.
