[Bungo Stray Dogs] Banxia Nocturne

Nakahara Zhong also subconsciously felt that he must have met Bei Yuan, but he racked his brains to review his experience from entering Hong Kong until now, but he couldn't remember any woman he had ever had a relationship with.

It can't be drunk... right?

He was frightened into a cold sweat by his conjecture, and then with a creak, the dark red door in front of him was slowly opened, and Bei Yuan walked out of it expressionlessly.He shook his head vigorously to get the strange thoughts out of his head, then walked up to her and nodded to her for her to follow.

Kaihara rubbed his brows tiredly and sighed deeply, Mori Ogai is no longer such an easy-talking partner, and it is even more difficult to get something out of his mouth.

"Old fox!" She cursed secretly, completely unaware that she herself would cause headaches to the person she scolded.

About half an hour ago, Kaihara brought the rescued hostage Q and followed Chuya to visit Mori Ogai. When Mr. Natsume could not be contacted, she had to do her best to maintain balance. Now the strength of the group has dropped sharply, but the port gangsters seem to be Some are ready to move.

She knocked Yumeno Kusaku, who was noisy on Nakaya's back, unconscious with a slap of skill, thinking about what to say later.

When Nakaya went to send Mengye to the red leaves, Kaihara stepped into the elevator leading to the upper floor alone, and the ding-dong notification sounded a little scary, and Beiyuan was the only one in the empty and dark corridor for a while. Yuan's footsteps sounded clattering, but as she got deeper and deeper, she could faintly hear the silver bell-like laughter of a girl behind the door covered with strange scarlet patterns, with a helpless smile, she knocked on the door and pushed it open a moment later. And enter.

"Alice, I brought you some dessert, it's your favorite Luoyan and Shuiyangkan."

The little leather shoes slammed on the floor quickly, and the little girl in a gorgeous crimson dress with layers of ruffles threw herself into Bei Yuan's arms, holding the food that exuded a sweet smell. Box happily shouted: "Rin Taro, sister Qihui is here!"

Kaihara hugged the seemingly soft but powerful girl with a supernatural life form for a while, then put her down, followed her to Mori Ogai who was sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and sat on the sofa next to him familiarly , her complexion eased a lot after skimming off a glass of lemon mint water placed on the round table.

"You call me so disgustingly even though you have the ability to move according to your heart. Your bad taste has not diminished for many years, Mr. Mori." Bei Yuan took the glass and shook it, and the unmelted ice inside hit the glass The walls clanged and green leaves danced with the swirls of the water.Through the wall of the glass, she saw Mori Ogai toasting her slightly, and she also raised the glass to touch him in return.

"Don't say that, Miss Kaihara, don't you want to be called that once by a cute girl? A girl who is so cute as Alice that it won't hurt if you rub her eyes? If you don't even have this ideal, you can only say Beiyuan Ms. Hara's life is really boring." Mori Ogai took a sip of red wine with an unabated smile, and put the glass on the round table, "But it must be the first time in many years that you came to visit me, not just to chat."

"You should have already guessed the purpose of my coming." Bei Yuan bit the ice cube in his mouth with a bang, and looked at him teasingly with the corners of his mouth happily raised.

"Who knows." He deliberately spread his hands and shrugged, and he didn't know what kind of emotion was dancing in his scarlet eyes.

"Oh, you are really..." Bei Yuan smiled wryly and held his forehead, "In short, I got Mengye back for you. If you don't arrange this kind of existence properly, I will interfere. I really don't know what you, a lunatic, let him out for. , if it wasn’t for Dazai’s ability to restrain him, you would drag the whole of Yokohama to be buried with you.”

"I can't control this...things that are not in my plan."

"Come on, you guys playing tactics are too much of a headache." Bei Yuan waved his hand at him and then caught Alice who threw herself into her arms, still couldn't help stroking her soft and smooth blond hair, "Mr. Fukuzawa must have met with you. I agree with his request. I hope you can keep your promise."

"That's natural. However, this mistake is also due to lack of information. Ms. Kaihara doesn't consider signing a new contract with the port gang...?" Mori Ogai narrowed his eyes and smiled innocently, pushing a black-covered book After the agreement, the white-gloved hands crossed their chins and looked at Kaihara.

Bei Yuan withdrew the faint smile on his face, ignored Alice who was sitting on her knee twisting and acting coquettishly, and gave up staring at the agreement with a little seriousness and quickly scanned it.After a long while, she let out a slight breath and rolled her eyes. After thinking for a while, she said, "I have no objection to the content and conditions of the agreement. It's rare that you are so generous and I won't let you down. But today I won't be with you." You signed it."

"Oh?" Mori Ogai got a surprising answer, his eyes lit up with half curiosity.

"The time is set after the threat of the combination is completely eliminated. If you still do not change your attitude and conditions at that time, I will sign a new agreement with you." Bei Yuan thought for a moment before nodding his head and promised.

……

Ah, I just agreed, did I let go too easily?

Kaihara followed Nakaya to the elevator downstairs, and suddenly felt a little regretful.Four years ago because of that incident, she broke with the port gangsters, and Bei Yuan's willful decision cost her a lot of sphere of influence and intelligence lines.Although the port gang also lost a lot, she still couldn't let go of her anger after recovering from her injury, and she never thought of renewing her contract.

There is nothing wrong with the two sides letting go of this incident, it's just that she has always had such a knot in her heart.

Forget it, she agreed to all the answers, and she is not a person who backtracks on her promises.

Kaihara sighed, and inadvertently took a slightly longer step forward, bumping into Nakahara Chuya who was leading the way.

"What... what are you doing?!" Zhong Ye, who couldn't guard against being hit, jumped a distance subconsciously, grabbed the black windbreaker that had slipped off, and stared at Bei Yuan with a vigilant face.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, don't be so nervous, Zhongya-kun." Bei Yuan was taken aback, then smiled apologetically, and patted his hat. The different feel from half a year ago made her feel a little novel, "Oh, just now Didn’t notice, did you replace the old one?”

"Where have I met you?" Chuya regretted the words as soon as he uttered it, because he saw Bei Yuan's expression became subtle for a moment, and then burst into a burst of laughter.

"Hahahaha Mr. Zhongye's memory is like that mackerel you always scolded."

"Shut up...shut up! So when did you meet?!"

Chuya jumped up as if he had been poked in the spine, and then deflated like a deflated balloon.

"Of course it is..." Bei Yuan deliberately kept her secret and didn't say it right away. She pretended to be condescending and waved to Zhong Ye. After he approached her, she changed her tone, "I haven't met directly."

With a snort, Bei Yuan directly punched Bei Yuan, and without hiding, Bei Yuan smiled and followed up with this weak fist, "Don't be angry, although we haven't met directly, we should be very familiar You have been in Europe for so many years and I have taken care of you in many places."

"Huh?" Zhong Ye helped his hat, which was crooked from being photographed, and tilted his head in doubt for a while, as if he had a vague impression of someone who gave him information but never showed up, "Damn, then The mysterious guy turned out to be you!"

"Okay, so we know each other now? Please forget the old name, now I am Nanae Kaibara, please give me your advice, Chuya-kun. Tsubaki cake, I made it fresh this morning."

Kaihara touched the place where he was beaten just now and smiled apologetically, then took out a bag of snacks from nowhere as if by magic and threw it to Chuya.

Zhong also took the snacks, but he was a little embarrassed for beating her just now, and thanked him a little unnaturally: "Thank you, I will teach you more in the future."

After running out of the Gang Hei headquarters, he declined Chuya's invitation to have a drink together. Kaihara ran back to the familiar street alone. At this time, it was already dead of night, and almost no shops were still open except izakaya.She was sitting quietly on the bench by the roadside, petting a thin orange cat, and dialed Kunikida by accident, but she regretted it in the short busy tone before being answered.

'What am I doing... It's already within his scheduled sleep time. "While blaming himself, Bei Yuan held a trace of luck and anticipation that he didn't realize," said three more rings and I'll hang up. '

'One... two...' She counted secretly, took the phone away from her ear and was about to hang up, but there was an answering sound from the phone.

"Behara?"

……

Kunikida is on the night shift tonight. Although the scheduled work content has been completed as planned, his heart is suspended after being roughly told by Dazai about the work Kaihara is going to do, especially with the port mafia. With this point of cooperation, he couldn't help worrying about her safety, so somehow he had to stay on the night shift of the detective agency.

He himself couldn't tell whether he was more frightened or more joyful when he received Bei Yuan's call. In short, the beating frequency of his heart soared uncontrollably.After picking up the phone, he heard her slightly deep voice from the other end, and his heart gradually calmed down.

"Well, do you want me to pick you up? Ah well...be careful on the road."

After hanging up the phone, Kunikida put down the phone stiffly, only to find that he was holding his breath and his chest felt tight.

'she's coming'

This news made him a little at a loss. Should he make any preparations?Uh, she doesn't like too hot water, should I cool her down first?Ah, should I turn on the light?

It wasn't until Kunikida wandered aimlessly around the detective agency that he realized what he was doing, and stopped in place, covering his face in silence like a statue.

Not long after the door was knocked, Bei Yuan opened the door and came in. The first scene he saw was Kunikida standing in the darkness and staring at her in a daze. He was startled but at the same time laughed briskly. He turned on the light in the living room first.

"What are you doing, you idiot."

"Ah... welcome, ah no good evening... uh, do you want some tea?"

Kunikida came back to his senses and spoke out in embarrassment, but what he said was still confusing.

"Whatever you want to drink, let's say you work night shift today?"

"Well, it's about the same." Kunikida thought for a while and seemed to be unable to explain why he simply said it, then turned around and made Kaihara a cup of tea, "Be careful of burning."

"Thank you~" Bei Yuan took the slightly hot teacup and put it between his hands, and raised his chin towards the lit table, "Don't worry about my existence, you can continue to work, I just... just want to sit down suddenly. "

"If you have to say it, there is actually no job, just stay alone in order to deal with emergencies."

Kunikida pushed down his glasses and replied, considering whether to turn off the small light over there.

"Hey... It's really rare, is it okay to sleep for 7 hours?" Bei Yuan squinted and blew on the hot air on the teacup, with a slight smile in his eyes.

"It doesn't matter, you can rest during the day shift tomorrow."

The two of them chatted casually, and Kaihara gradually felt a sense of fatigue that he hadn't felt in a long time, and waves of drowsiness surged up. Finally, she simply leaned on Kunikida's shoulder, making him tremble all over. Shocked, I almost didn't know where to put my hands.

In the end, Bei Yuan frowned and put his hand on her shoulder, and said angrily: "It's really a piece of wood, I need to take the initiative in this kind of thing."

"Ah, sorry, I'm not good at this kind of thing..."

Opening his mouth for a long time, he blurted out words of apology, Kunikida suddenly felt a little resentful for his bad words.

"Hmph, forget it, who told me to fall in love with you as a piece of wood." Bei Yuan muttered something, and simply put his head on his shoulder, the pounding heartbeat was close at hand, now the only Having him by his side can give her a sense of security, and she has the urge to cry at this moment after she hasn't been so close to anyone for many years.Sniffing silently, she said, "Just now I did a job that I don't like very much, and it's the thing you hate the most. I used to be numb when I did it alone, but now I don't care why I'm suddenly hypocritical." know why."

In fact, Kunikida had already smelled the smell of blood on her body, but there was no blood on her body at all, so she dealt with it quietly, presumably he didn't want him to know what she did.Kunikida couldn't kid himself that these sacrifices were for peace in Yokohama, but he also understood that this was a life-and-death war.So he just patted Kaihara on the back and comforted her in a low voice.

I only hope that the years will be quiet.

The author has something to say:

Ah, I'm back, sorry for the long delay, but if there is no accident, the weekly update will resume (are you sure?)

After the college entrance examination, I was still busy with interviews, but it’s good, now that all four schools have offered offers, I don’t have to worry about it.

Let me tell you, don't pull out your wisdom teeth if you have nothing to do, the pain makes me explode...

I really...can't write sweet...Orz
