[Bungo Stray Dogs] With the Light and the Dust

"You, what do you want to do!" Captain Walston, whose hands and feet were tightly tied to the chair, struggled from side to side, bringing the chair on the ground and making a screeching sound.

"Captain Walston, please don't struggle, we have no malicious intentions." Kunikida tried to persuade, "We just want to help you and avoid the coming disaster!"

Captain Walston glared at him, "What armed detective agency, I think you are all thieves' accomplices!"

"We really..."

"Oh~ Kunikida-kun, this is useless!" After telling Atsushi Nakajima the password to unblock the surveillance video firewall that Yamada Hanaburo found far away in Yokohama, Dazai turned around, rolled up his sleeves and stretched his fingers. The corners of his lips curled up, and he gave a happy and meaningful smile to Captain Walston who was tied to the chair, "Let me gently ask the captain about the secrets of this island~"

"What...? It's you!" Captain Walston, who saw Dazai's face after turning around, widened his eyes in shock.

"So it's like this..." Captain Walston murmured, "You have been lurking on the island for four years just for this moment..."

"That's not right."

The same voice, but this time the voice came from the door. Captain Walston looked over and saw [Osamu Dazai] as well.

But compared to the one in front of him, the person at the door is dressed more like the [Osamu Dazai] he usually met on the island.

"...Twins?" Captain Walston frowned, various guesses appeared in his mind, and after guessing, he fell into a series of conspiracy theories.

"If I remember correctly, Captain Walston likes pudding very much." Osamu Dazai walked slowly to the chair where Captain Walston was tied, and spoke after thinking about it.It was for Dazai.

"Oh, I got it!" Dazai smiled, and took out two large plates of pudding from somewhere, held them in both hands and waved them in front of the captain, then handed one of them to Kunikida, leaving one free. Feed the pudding to the captain, "Since the captain likes pudding so much, let me treat the guests so that the captain can eat enough~"

"You think I'll be um...!"

"Give up! Ugulu, I can't say no!"

"Ugh... vomit..."

"Stop...stop...can't eat anymore...vomit..."

"Dazai, you...you are simply a demon in human skin..." Kunikida couldn't bear to watch, turned his head away.

"Don't give me any more pudding! Please, I'll tell you whatever you want, so... don't bring me any more pudding!" Captain Walston, who had been force-fed two large plates of pudding, hadn't slowed down yet. After a while, Dazai stretched out his hand and took out two more plates of pudding. He raised his head back in horror, screaming like a girl, and even the chair he was tied to was shaking and creaking.

……

The door opened with a click, and Bei Chenguang, who was waiting outside the door, raised his head and looked at Osamu Dazai who was coming out of the room.

Captain Walston's wailing could still be heard through the open door.

"Everything that needs to be prepared is ready, and we just need to wait." Dazai Osamu closed the door and took her hand naturally, "Is there any place Miss Guang wants to go?"

Standard Island will sink to the bottom of the sea following the death of Verne, or Gabe, after this incident is resolved.

This island has the memory of him and Miss Guang living here for four years. Thinking about it this way, it is a pity that it sank.

"I have one thing to do, which I promised Verne before." Bei Chenguang stared at Dazai Zhizhi holding her hand for a while, then said slowly, "At the last moment, wake up his consciousness. So go find him."

"You stay with me, don't leave my side."

When she said the last sentence, her eyes fell on Dazai Osamu's face without blinking, and her attitude was so tough that she didn't look like usual.

"Okay - I won't leave Miss Guang's side." Dazai Zhi smiled into Bei Chenguang's gaze.

"However, when did Verne ask Miss Guang?"

Bei Chenguang thought about it for a while, and said the exact number, "No. 80 seven times."

"At that time, he had already noticed something accumulated in the continuous regress, which made his ability gradually gain consciousness. So he came to me before the personality generated by the ability seized control of the body."

At that time, Verne's spirit had actually reached a critical point.

In the constant repetition, Verne found that the time to go back to the past gradually became longer, from the first 55 minutes to 56 minutes, 58 minutes, and even a few hours back in the end.

If at the beginning he was just trying to save the lives of Wells or others and get a better ending, then by this time, the expectation he had in his heart had become——if the time that can be traced back keeps increasing, increase In more than ten years, wouldn't he be able to see his companions again, and even prevent the Great War itself from happening?

"That possibility does not exist. Wells, who has been robbed of her powers over and over again, will lose a little power every time she goes back. If she goes back again, she will disappear." Bei Chenguang Calmly say something that can make people's jaw drop, "Because Wells is her ability itself."

"I've always cared about Miss Guang's attention to Wells, is it also because of this?" Osamu Dazai stroked his chin thoughtfully, "It's because in the original world, after five years, Miss Guang had a relationship with her. contact?"

Bei Chenguang looked at Osamu Dazai and guessed wildly for a long time, the corners of his lips curved upward slightly, "It is because of Wells' help that I was able to go back to five years ago and save you."

"Hey... that is to thank her well!" Osamu Dazai, who was not motivated before, suddenly became serious.

——

On the other hand, Nakajima Atsushi, who successfully sneaked into the top secret area with the bandits, encountered an unexpected trouble.

It was Akutagawa Ryunosuke who dived into the sea and directly violently broke into the top secret area from the outside.

And the goal is clearly to kill him.

As if the rushing seawater did not exist, Akutagawa Ryunosuke covered his mouth and coughed twice when he shattered the resin glass window, watching the seawater poured in rushing towards Atsushi Nakajima who hit the pillar, the black Rashomon Wrap around like a snake.

"Found you, Renhu."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke smiled emotionlessly, and a red mouth could be seen vaguely.

That gaze was like a hound's eyeing its prey.

The author has something to say: here we come!Akutagawa!

Akutagawa was because last week saw Wells and Dundun using the camera before he died, thinking that Dundun was the one who detonated the weapon.Then Akutagawa was affected by Wells' ability and his consciousness returned to 55 minutes ago, and after that it was the happy chase hhhh

The trio of supernatural beings, Shibusawa, Gabe, and Wells are missing one, and Wells faintly revealed a meaning that she is the supernatural power itself in 55 minutes, although no clear conclusion was drawn.
