[Bungo Stray Dogs] With the Light and the Dust

"When did you come? I don't even know." Verne relaxed.

"I didn't have time to tell you, this fog appeared on the island as soon as I landed on the island. Then you saw, my ability separated." Chekhov pushed his glasses, "At first it wanted to attack I just ran away after I knew it."

"It ran pretty fast."

Speaking of the last sentence, his tone was dissatisfied, and he also subtly revealed some meaning of 'what a shame'.

"Pfft." Verne made a short breath, and then laughed naturally.It was a relaxed gesture that only appeared in front of recognized companions.

The lonely guardian of the standard island, there will be times when he smiles like a child in front of his companions.

Chekhov looked at Verne, who was the youngest among the [Seven Betrayers] companions, and saw the smile on Verne's face that only appeared when they arrived, and he couldn't bear to tell the news.

Let's wait a little longer until the fog issue is resolved.Thinking of this, Chekhov asked, "Verne, have you got your abilities back?"

Verne fell silent when he heard the words, and his smile gradually disappeared.

"what happened?"

"Well, it depends on which one you're talking about or the hundreds." Dazai Osamu who hadn't interrupted just now said aloud, with a vague smile on his face.

"Who are you?" Chekhov turned his eyes to look at him when he heard this sentence, "What does this sentence mean?"

"Me? My name is Dazai Osamu, just an ordinary tourist." Dazai Osamu said with a smile, "As for the meaning of this sentence..."

"Because of the particularity of my abilities, not only my own abilities, but also the abilities I have absorbed before have been separated into this form." Verne did not let Osamu Dazai finish his sentence, but himself explained.

"This is indeed the case..." Chekhov pondered for a moment, "and your ability is associated with this island, one carelessness may cause the entire island to sink."

"That's it..."

"However, regarding this situation, we had also imagined it at the beginning, and discussed several solutions."

"Huh?" Verne heard Chekhov's next words before he could get serious.

"The fourth solution that can be used at this time is that I will pull you and the supernatural body of [Mysterious Island] into my 'ward' to isolate it from the standard island. Because I am not sure if it is necessary I will come back only after defeating the supernatural power, so it is best for you to solve it."

"it is good."

Verne, who trusted his companion, agreed without hesitation. There was no confusion or apprehension in his eyes, only the "must do".

In order for the seven to meet again, this only place where the remaining six companions can return must also be protected.

At this moment, someone unwittingly raised his hand to break the atmosphere.

"Wait a minute, you have overlooked a problem." Osamu Dazai reminded, "If this plan is to be implemented, we must first find that supernatural body, but the problem now is that as long as it can't hide, we won't be able to find it." There is no way to find it. But it can sense the location of Lord Verne, and then drive other supernatural beings to chase and kill Lord Verne."

Chekhov and Verne were lost in thought.

Osamu Dazai smiled, and continued, "But I have an idea, do you want to listen to it?"

"What is it?"

"Let it think that we want to deal with Shibusawa Tatsuhiko first, who is the one who created this fog." The smiling black-haired young man spoke with a relaxed tone, with only a hint of unknown meaning revealed in his slightly narrowed kite-colored eyes, " After all, all supernatural beings appear because of him. As long as Verne-kun’s supernatural beings are smart but not smart enough, they will choose to cooperate with him. After killing Verne-kun, kill Shibusawa Tatsuhiko , so that it can always exist——it should think like this.”

"However, this method is a test of Mr. Verne's acting skills. It must be performed in a similar manner to make it feel foolproof, and then it can't help—come out of the cave where it is hiding."

"This method works."

After listening, Chekhov nodded.But while agreeing, he also clicked his tongue and became vigilant.This kind of manipulation of people's hearts, as well as the looming eyes that seemed to cast from the dark abyss, all made him think of the devil with a hat on a hot day he had dealt with not long ago.

An out-and-out villain who even breathes with the breath of "death".

If you are not careful when dealing with this kind of person, you will be used to death.

"Do you already know where the superhuman named Shibusawa Tatsuhiko is?" Verne had no objection to this plan, he just asked.

"Yes, I already have a clue." Osamu Dazai looked up at the faint building spires in the dense atmosphere, "That's a person who likes to stay at a high place and look down on others struggling to survive."

There is a clock tower in the center of the island. It is a tall tower that can be seen anywhere on the island. It is the tallest building on the island except for the windmill that generates electricity.

If there is anything else that can be used as a basis-the first deceased Chiye Zeshu was found under this bell tower.

When dead, the expression is calm.

"So that's how it is..." Verne reacted, "He died in the hands of his own ability, but not entirely. One of the abilities I have absorbed can create hallucinations, and that is probably mine. It was the first time that the supernatural body tried to cooperate, or it was the sincerity shown to the collaborators."

"Let's go." Chekhov put the scalpel back into his sleeve and straightened his cuff buttons.

Osamu Dazai wanted to say something with that inscrutable expression, but he suddenly noticed that Bei Chenguang moved his fingers, and then let go.This made him hold back all the rest of the words, let out a "hey" in a drawn out voice, and showed a pity expression on his puffy bun face.

"Miss Guang—"

Bei Chenguang: "?"

"Why did Miss Guang let go all of a sudden?" He stared at Bei Chenguang's withdrawn hand, with an unhappy expression on his face.

"It's already visible."

"No, I can't see yet! My eyesight is [-] degrees short-sighted!"

"...Really?" There was already some hesitation in his tone.

Chekhov, who was already walking ahead, heard the conversation behind him, suddenly chuckled, and said calmly:

"This is obviously being coquettish, miss."

When Bei Chenguang heard this statement, his eyes fell on Dazai Zhi's face.

"Well, that's right." Osamu Dazai readily admitted.

Bei Chenguang hesitated for a moment, held his outstretched hand, and then looked away.

"Okay, stop being coquettish."

The author has something to say: Zai: Hold me, hold my hand! [Guangguang started to fluctuate like a straight man, he said don’t be coquettish but he seems to like it hhhh why does this make me feel a little bit? J, it’s still too much sugar]

The Russian Tuomou who lives in other people's mouths.

It suddenly occurred to me that Chekhov was also a Russian. Could it be... a member of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man? ? ?I panicked.

Remember in the theatrical version that Shibusawa said that most of his information comes from Tosi? hhh, so here is Tosi who met Chekhov and was interested in the seven traitors, so he went to check it. At this time, Shibusawa came to ask After getting the information, he told Shibusawa about the seven traitors, and then what we see now...

Chekhov:? ? ?

Verne: ?
