Two or three things about having a crush on Mr. Dazai

"Things that you don't want to lose will leave you one day. All the valuable things that people desire are destined to be lost one day from the moment they get it."

Dazai once said this to his friend.

When the brown-haired, kite-eyed young man said with a smile, "Don't leave, okay?"

It reminds me of those pessimistic and cold words that Dazai said in the past.

How could I not understand what he meant?

Osamu Dazai is also a human being, with heart and soul, flesh and blood.

He will miss me too.

I miss him, so I call and text him.

Dazai missed me, so he took the initiative to sever all contact between us-it is better to gain and lose than to regain.

In addition to deliberately snubbing me out of anger, Dazai is punishing himself.

For his missing of me, and punish myself.

Kunikida said that he was committing suicide with almost masochistic frequency.

My heart almost throbs.

Intellectually, we know that it is normal to be separated from each other for a long time in different organizations.

Emotionally, he is as smart as Dazai, but he still asks such irrational words as "don't leave, okay?"

I leaned on his shoulder, closed my eyes and said, "Mr. Dazai, you are blackmailing me."

Dazai laughed, shaking his body slightly: "How can you say that?"

"I know, I am most reluctant to leave you."

Dazai rubbed the top of my hair and said, "Well, I just mentioned it casually, don't feel pressured. Work is important."

"I won't be leaving for a while."

I said, "Don't try to kill yourself without telling me, Dazai-san."

Dazai: "..."

Dazai didn't speak.I looked up, and the suicidal gentleman looked very troubled.

I hugged the back of Dazai's head and pressed down until his eyes were at the same level as mine, and said: "In addition to death, there are many pleasant and non-painful things in human life."

Dazai lightly pecked the corner of my lips.

"this one?"

He licked the blood from my mouth with the tip of his tongue and asked with a smile.

The taste of Dazai and the smell of blood are mixed together, forming an indescribable and trembling taste.

"Cough cough cough..."

The man's very deliberate cough interrupted the charming atmosphere, Dazai and I turned our heads together.

"... Dazai, there is something I must remind you. You haven't written your last mission report yet, and there are only three hours left before the deadline."

Kunikida crossed his arms and tapped the ground impatiently with his toes.

"Yes~ yes~ I understand. Kunikida-kun will go alone first, and Qiu and I will go back immediately." Dazai said.

With Dazai's assurance, Kunikida quickly turned around, not forgetting to say goodbye to me: "Aki, keep an eye on that guy, don't delay any longer!"

Me: "Okay, Mr. Kunikida."

After Kunikida left alone, the previous atmosphere was destroyed, and Dazai and I separated as if nothing had happened.

I regained some strength, stood up and asked, "Mr. Dazai, what did you kick me for?"

Akutagawa and I have fought more than [-] times over the years, and there are times when we fight more fiercely than this. What should we do after coughing up blood? Weak look.

"Shh..."

Dazai pressed an index finger to his lips.

"Do you want to take a guess?"

I:"……"

If Dazai hadn't suddenly become addicted to dramas, he must have other intentions.

"Is it related to Kunikida?" I had a flash of inspiration.

Dazai snapped his fingers: "Bingo~"

I continued to guess: "You secretly revealed to Kunikida that I took away the fake bomb, which made him misunderstand my identity and think that I was also the one who saved lives; Opportunity to further mislead him into identifying my adversarial relationship with Mafia."

"Is that right?"

When Dazai explained to Kunikida Doppo just now, he only narrated some facts, such as "Aki fought with him", "That is a powerful person with supernatural powers" and so on.And never mention anything about my relationship with Akutagawa.

Dazai helped me cover up my port mafia identity in front of Kunikida, so I guessed.

Dazai said, "Not bad. Can you think of anything else?"

I sighed, and said: "Also, you deliberately used unreasonable remarks to shape your image, and emotionally pushed your partner to my side, so that he would have more sympathy for me."

It can be said to be well-intentioned.

Dazai's eyes were surprised, and his eyebrows were flying: "Qiu, you really know everything."

I thought to myself, because it is impossible for me to really blame him and be angry with him, so I can see clearly when Dazai is sincere and when he is following the trend.

Dazai said, "However, there is one thing I didn't say."

"Huh?" Am I missing something?

Dazai said, "I deliberately let you get injured and fight, I'm sorry."

This is nothing, it is common for me to get injured and fight.Besides...

Finally he stood in front of me and blocked the attack for me.Instead of watching from the sidelines like in the past, and even pointing Akutagawa to use Rashomon to attack me.

I shook my head: "It's okay."

"It's related, Qiu." Dazai said, "Let yourself be hurt less, you know?"

I really laughed.

"Yes, I understand, Dazai-san."

I was open from old wounds, my clothes were stained with blood, and I was too conspicuous to walk on the road, so Dazai took off his long beige coat and put it on for me.

He babbled and complained: "How can you not bring a weapon? Smart Mr. Aki? It's good to grab a pistol from Kunikida-kun, anyway, he runs slowly and doesn't need it."

I reflected: "This time I was negligent."

He corrected him again: "It is a kind of respect and courtesy not to bring guns to your company."

It's common sense, and I didn't come to fight. Wouldn't it be troublesome to be mistaken for provocation.

"Oh~ That's right. But after today, you can take it with you."

I haven't understood what Dazai's words mean. Dazai suddenly turned his head, looked at me and said, "Qiu, I have dark circles under my eyes. Is it hard to travel?"

"It's okay." It's just that plotting consumes more brain cells.

"Really... Qiu is very capable now, and has become a cadre. It must be valued by Mr. Mori."

"It's almost the same as before." Far worse than Dazai.

Even if Dazai defected, Mori Ogai also retained a position as a cadre of Hong Kong and Hero for him. I don't think I can have such an honor.

Dazai's tone made me feel faintly wrong, but I couldn't tell what was wrong.

I asked cautiously: "...are you unhappy?"

For my promotion.

"Haha, how come?" Dazai smiled, "I'm very happy that you are so outstanding."

Dazai looked soft.

"Congratulations on becoming the top five cadres, Qiu."

When we returned to the vicissitudes of the old red brick building, the people from the Butei Club were no longer in the coffee shop on the first floor.

Dazai and I took the elevator up to the fourth floor, and pushed open the door with the "Armed Detective Agency" signboard.

Everyone in the room looked at Dazai and me in unison.

"Yo, you're back!"

Edogawa Ranpo was the first to speak.

The rest of the people did not speak, probably because of the middle-aged silver-haired man I had never seen standing in the middle.

The man is dressed in a kimono and a black shawl. His regular facial features and serious face give people a sense of majesty.

Almost as soon as I saw him, a word that matched his aura popped out of my mind: warrior.

"President."

Dazai called him that with some respect.

Fukuzawa Yukichi, the founder and supreme leader of the armed detective agency, a group of supernatural beings.

The silver-haired man glanced at Dazai, then fixed his eyes on me: "This is..."

Dazai said, "This is Takeshita Akira."

Just introduced the name without much explanation.

Fukuzawa Yukichi said in a low voice, "Takeshita-kun."

I said: "It's the first time we meet, hello, Mr. President."

The samurai looked at me sharply, giving people a strong sense of oppression, and giving me the illusion of being completely seen through.

I stood beside Dazai, looking back with neither condescension nor humility.

Fukuzawa Yukichi stared at me for a while, but did not question my identity, but said: "Injured? Let's deal with it first."

I was wearing Dazai's coat, and there was no abnormality from the outside. He carefully judged the fact that I was injured by the smell of blood on my body.

Dazai thanked me for me: "Thank you, President."

Fukuzawa Yukichi gave a "hmm" and said in a calm tone, "Dazai, Ranpo, come to my office."

After that, he left the hall.

After the door was closed with a "click", the atmosphere in the room became smooth and lively.

The other members greeted each other one after another.

"Qiu, you're back."

"Mr. Dazai was actually brought here."

"I heard that you had a fight with the black-clothed murderer?"

"The president said you were injured? How are you doing now?"

With this posture, it looks as if I am a member of the Armed Detective Agency and Dazai is incidental.

I politely responded to them one by one, saying: "It's nothing serious, please don't worry."

Dazai's hand suddenly reached out and unbuttoned the coat on my body, revealing the blood-stained shirt.

Dazai said: "Maybe I need to borrow some medical supplies from the club."

"Ah! So much blood!" Tanizaki Naomi exclaimed worriedly.

Xie Ye said, "Do you need my help?"

I know that she is the exclusive doctor of the Armed Detective Agency, but she is a woman after all, I am not seriously injured, and I don't need help from others to bandage it, so I said: "No, thank you."

Yosano: "I didn't mean that..."

I:"?"

Kunikida: "Since it won't hinder the action, then there's no need to fight Yosano."

Kunikida pushed his glasses and said, "Aki, you're too impulsive, you rush straight up when you meet such a dangerous person. You should delay with Dazai for a while."

Tanizaki said in admiration: "It's really Qiu. The skill is too powerful, and he can even have the power to fight against that black-clothed murderer with terrifying superpowers."

No, you don't have to admire it.Beating up Akutagawa is not something to admire.

"Hey, Dazai-kun, let's go, don't keep the company waiting for too long." Edogawa reminded.

"I'll leave it to you, Shuu." Dazai smiled and pushed me slightly in the direction of Tanizaki and Kunikida.

"Prescribe the medicine before I come back, put on a new bandage, stay here and wait for me to come back, can it be done?"

I said helplessly, "I'm not a child anymore, Mr. Dazai."

Then Dazai and Edogawa left together, and went to the president's office to find Fukuzawa Yukichi.

I have an inexplicable intuition - the president of Buteisha communicated with Dazai and Edogawa alone because of me.

When Dazai was away, I got the medicine in the medical room and sat in the reception area to rest.

Naomi Tanizaki poured me a cup of tea and asked, "Does Qiu usually have many such battles?"

"Thank you." I said, "Occasionally."

Tanizaki Naomi: "... What profession needs to fight like this? Is it the special forces?"

She hasn't given up guessing my work yet.

I thought to myself that if the conditions of the previous sentence were inferred, the Mafia would not be far behind.As a result, the latter sentence shows that their thinking is not in the usual way.

It's running too far.

Tanizaki continued to think: "It's not impossible."

Kunikida said not far away: "If it is, he will not answer your question. After all, it is an organization that does not exist in legends, and the identity of its members must be kept secret."

He looked confident, with a tone of truth.

After being reminded many times, I finally knew what occupation they mistakenly thought I was—the Supernatural Secret Service, a supernatural person in an official organization that the government claims does not exist.

I:"……"

They even found a reason for me not to answer, so what else can I say.

Shut your mouth and drink your tea in silence.

Not long after, Dazai and Edogawa came back.

I noticed that Edogawa's eyes fell on me as soon as he entered the door, and there was some surprise in his green eyes.

Dazai: "Yo~ did you have a good chat?"

"Not bad." I said.

Dazai: "I'm here to announce good news."

He looked at me with a smile: "Qiu, you can come to our agency anytime from now on."

why?

"Because the president said, you are our guest."

From nowhere, Edogawa brought out a whole box of milk flakes and floated in front of me, smilingly said: "Qiu, here you are, remember to cover me from now on!"

I took the milk tablet: "?"

Seeing me take his snacks, Edogawa left contentedly.

Tanizaki: "Since Mr. Ranpo said so..."

He smiled softly, and took out a carton of milk like magic, which happened to be my favorite flavor: "Qiu, this is for you, remember to cover me in the future!"

Naomi Tanizaki hugged her brother's arm, and said, "My brother and I chose it together, and Qiu will also cover me~"

Kunikida gave me a pen.

Yosano gave me a scalpel.

In the end, the president's secretary Haruno Kirako gave me a coffee shop discount card.

"In the future, you can get a discount when you go to the detective agency's royal coffee shop 'Spiral'~"

Everything happened so unexpectedly, a bunch of gifts suddenly appeared in front of me.

I was stunned.

"Mr. Dazai, this..."

This scene is not right.

What did Dazai do?

Dazai sat next to me and said, "It's nothing, I just told the president your identity and made a simple guarantee." As for the guarantee, he didn't mean to say.

Hearing the word "identity", Kunikida pushed up his glasses, and once again showed a clear look of "that's it".

Seeing that I was still confused, the clerk Haruno Kirako said: "Mr. Dazai made a prophecy not long ago, saying that everyone in the Butei Club will be led by someone to curry favor with Mr. Qiu. So it is best to prepare things for gifts in advance— — Huh, fortunately, I am also prepared.”

I:"……"

Gifts to please?

Is that right for an assassin?

In the future, you will get a [-]% discount on all the murder commissions you receive?

I looked at the only two people who knew my identity.

Edogawa crossed his legs, shrugged at me, and then grabbed a bag of snacks from nowhere to unpack, conveying an obvious message of "don't ask me if it has nothing to do with me".

And Dazai said: "Accept it, these are everyone's wishes."

He seemed to think that this was a trivial matter, and he said it lightly in front of everyone.

But only I know how incredible this is.

Dazai told the president of my identity and made a guarantee for me.

I don't think the president of Buteisha, such a serious samurai, would be such a tolerant person.What exactly did Dazai promise to make this promise so important that the entire armed detective agency treats me, who has a shameful identity, as a guest of honor?

Dazai is planning everywhere, he is wasting his mind.

for me.

He wanted me to stay, let me stay here in a proper capacity, and be with him in a fair way.

Leaving no stone unturned, no refusal allowed.

"Do you still like this promotion gift? How about it? Do you love me more~?"

Promotion gift?

From using the meeting with Akutagawa to mislead Kunikida, to pinpointing the time when the president will return to the company and bringing me back with him, to making predictions in advance when I am on a business trip.

He had already arranged everything.

"Well," I said, "there's no better gift than being by your side like this."

I stared deeply at this young man who had counted everything, and my mood was indescribably complicated.

Finally, I gave him myself in a leather chair in the reception area, in front of everyone at the Armed Detective Agency.

"How should I tell you that I like you?"

The heart was sore and full, and the whole chest was burning hot, all burning with the same name.

The passionate emotion that surged in my heart was not wishful thinking, and Dazai readily responded.

Dazai pressed the back of my head and deepened the kiss.

I expressed my love for him with my lips and teeth like no one else, and Dazai enjoyed the responses again and again, the tongues were dancing together, and we entered the same cheerful and fiery rhythm.

From time to time, he pinched my waist with his fingers and rubbed my nose with his nose, making me feel overwhelmed and overwhelmed.

After the lingering, he whispered in my ear and asked, "Qiu~~ You haven't said anything yet, have you been particularly moved? Have you loved me more?"

Is this still an answer?

Dazai looked at me expectantly.

I had to rack my brains and search my vocabulary bank.

"Of course. My love for you is like the sun rising and setting at night, and the tide of the sea rising and falling. It is a natural thing that does not need a reason; if I love you a little more, I am afraid that the day and night will be reversed, and the sea will flow backwards."

Dazai pondered for a moment, then smiled: "Huh? It seems a little familiar? I remember it should be, 'Like a golden crow hanging high in the daytime, like a moon shining brightly at night, like the tide ebbs and flows of the sea, like mountains standing tall'?"

Dazai's kite eyes are full of smiles, gentle and bright, which makes my heart tremble.

Unbelievable emotions welled up belatedly, and I couldn't help but widen my eyes.

This is the content of the letter I asked Violet to write for him during the two years of his defection—he received it, and he still remembers it.

He still remembers?

"...I never knew that you still have the special ability to recite the love letter from two years ago in full."

The young man's eyes almost overflowed with pride: "Yo, did you scare me silly, my Mr. Qiu?"

"I thought you would just put it away."

"The letter is indeed put away casually, but someone's heart will be kept in my heart."

"..."

Such, such love words from the mouth of Mr. Dazai.

Dazai poked my cheek with his slender fingers, and laughed loudly: "Qiu, are you blushing? Do you like this kind of love talk?"

I:"……"

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, love letter!!!"

"Oh my god, isn't this too sweet?"

"Too bad I got goosebumps from the two of them."

"Mr. Dazai and Mr. Aki are really..."

"Every time Qiu comes to visit in the future, don't we have to prepare some sunglasses."

"—I'm going blind!!!"

During our kiss, there was a lot of booing of "Oh~~~", and then there was a lot of undisguised discussion.

Tanizaki Naomi's lively voice was mixed in: "Brother, why don't we come too..."

Tanizaki Junichiro: "No no no Naomi..."

"Ah~"

……

It's good to be back.

I can't help thinking.

[ten minutes ago]

[President's Office]

Akira Takeshita didn't know that before Fukuzawa Yukichi made this decision, the atmosphere among the three in the office was tense.

Fukuzawa Yukichi saw that the young man was extraordinary the first time he saw him.

His facial features are handsome, his figure is as thin and straight as a bamboo, and his short navy blue hair is slightly messy.His face was pale and tired, but he looked energetic.

His eyes were extremely clear.When he met those blue eyes, Fukuzawa Yukichi almost concluded that he was innocent and harmless.

However, years of dangerous intuition told him that the most vigilant is this kind of overly strong first impression.

Fukuzawa Yukichi really noticed something strange.The young man was clearly injured, but he still did not reveal any flaws in his every move - this was clearly experienced through countless battles, the same kind of people.

And after going through that kind of blood baptism, to still have such clear eyes, and give people the illusion of "harmlessness", no matter whether he is disguised or not, it is a terrible thing.

In front of Dazai Osamu, Fukuzawa Yukichi asked Edogawa Ranpo straightforwardly: "Ranpo, what is Takeshita Aki's identity?"

Edogawa Ranpo put his hands behind his back and answered loudly, "He is one of the five cadres of Mafia at the port. He is known as the 'ghost assassin' and is the top killer in the world today."

Fukuzawa Yukichi looked at Dazai: "Is he right?"

Dazai: "Exactly."

Edogawa was about to raise the corners of his mouth happily, when Fukuzawa Yukichi asked again: "If Takeshita wants to assassinate, including me in the detective agency, how many people can resist?"

Edogawa lowered his head: "...I don't know."

Fukuzawa Yukichi: "You just don't want to say it."

Edogawa murmured for a while, but did not speak.

Fukuzawa Yukichi: "Dazai, tell me."

Dazai said: "Including you, there is none."

As soon as Dazai's words came out, the temperature seemed to drop to freezing point in an instant.

"The world's top assassin... is an extremely dangerous figure for a detective agency."

The danger of Takeshita Akira was personally verified by two subordinates, and Fukuzawa Yukichi's terrifying murderous aura filled the entire office in an instant.

Dazai was not afraid of the pressure, and said, "It is also the biggest help for the detective agency, right Mr. Ranpo?"

Edogawa: "...Yes."

Fukuzawa Yukichi was skeptical of this statement: "Why?"

Is there anything more dangerous than having assassins lurking around for others?

Dazai: "Because I'm in the detective agency for a day, he will never take action against the detective agency."

Fukuzawa Yukichi frowned: "Can you guarantee it?"

Dazai: "Yes."

Fukuzawa Yukichi’s murderous aura still hadn’t dissipated, so he heard Dazai say: “Aki was innocent since he was young, and he only regarded Mafia’s mission and assassination commission as work. He didn’t think killing people was evil, nor did he think killing people was good. He didn’t have any kindness. The distinction between evil positions, killing and saving lives is only a matter of thought."

"But people can't have two sides. He is Mafia's assassin, so he will never take action against the detective agency."

"Yes."

Dazai affirmed.

"The reason why he joined Mafia was just because I happened to be in Mafia when he met me. I am his criterion and position, and he will come here one day."

I am his criterion and standpoint, it is only natural for Dazai to say such a thing, and he does not feel arrogant.

Fukuzawa Yukichi and Edogawa Ranpo thought at the same time.

"Qiu is a very sensitive person. He will keep in mind any kindness or malice he receives. The detective agency regards him as an enemy or a friend, which directly determines whether he will be a hindrance or a help to the detective agency."

"And . . . how hard he will resolve to come to the detective agency."

Edogawa Ranpo thought deeply after hearing this.

Fukuzawa Yukichi asked again: "Can you guarantee it?"

Osamu Dazai smiled and said, "I can guarantee it."

His voice was soft, as if he was talking to himself, "Qiu has always been a thorough child."

Qiu's experience growing up was too painful.He will never do the thing of forcing the person he cares about to death with his own hands a second time.

Even if it was Mr. Sen's request.

Because——he is already Aki Takeshita who is good enough to become one of the "five major cadres".

"Dazai, remember, I trust you, not Aki Takeshita." Fukuzawa Yukichi said, "If Aki Takeshita behaves abnormally, I will not show mercy. And Dazai, you have to promise you Take full responsibility."

This is the vigilance he must have as the president of the armed detective agency against dangerous people who are not members of the agency.

Osamu Dazai said bluntly: "Yes."

Fukuzawa Yukichi frowned and thought about Dazai's promise for a long time.

Aki Takeshita,

A powerful top assassin;

A mafia assassin who used to grow up with Dazai, with blood on his hands.

Simultaneously.

A lover who is full of Dazai;

A man with extremely clean eyes, sensitive, sensual and simple.

Friend or foe?

In the end, he made the final decision in a majestic tone: "Then, from today on, Takeshita will be a guest of our detective agency. Dazai, Ranpo, please convey this news to everyone."

He compromised.

For his trust in Dazai Osamu, a subordinate who has insight into people's hearts, and for a future possibility.

Dazai smiled confidently.

"Yes, President."

Edogawa asked: "Hey... I guessed Qiu's identity right, is there no reward?"

Fukuzawa Yukichi said indifferently: "Praise you."

Edogawa was immediately satisfied, and for the fact that Takeshita Aki got him a compliment from the president, he decided to add ten to Takeshita Aki's favorability.

After the fake bomb incident, when the name "Aki" appeared frequently in Dazai's mouth, Edogawa Ranpo realized what this clever colleague was implying.

It's just that he didn't expect that Dazai would promise to this extent for Qiu, and Qiu might even...

Well, forget it, anyway, I don't know how long it will take for such a thing to happen, so it's useless for him to worry about it in advance.

After doing his best, it will depend on Qiu's choice.

On the way back, Edogawa ranpo asked the young man next to him: "Dazai, are you so sure?"

He asked endlessly, but Osamu Dazai understood.

"If there's only one certainty in the world, it's this."

Takeshita Akira used to become the world's top assassin for Dazai Osamu, and now he will put away his sharp knife point for Dazai Osamu.

Dazai, who had been favored by that boy for seven years, never doubted it.

Edogawa: "You really know him."

Dazai: "I don't know him the least."

"Hey?"

Osamu Dazai smiled and said: "After all, before I met Qiu, I didn't know that there would be someone in the world who liked me so much."

"...I always feel like you're showing off."

"Mr. Ranpo, good advice."

"Dazai-kun, you hate me much more than Qiu."

"laugh."
