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

On the way to leave, I met Fukuzawa Yukichi and Edogawa Ranpo who were about to go upstairs.

"Mr. President, Mr. Ranpo." I nodded politely to them as a greeting.

"Qiu, are you leaving so soon? Why don't you sit a little longer?" Edogawa's green eyes were half-opened, and there seemed to be a metaphor in his words.

"Well, I have to go," I said.

"Where are you going?" Fukuzawa Yukichi asked.

Me: "Go where I should go, thank you for your hospitality over the past two years, it's a great honor."

Fukuzawa Yukichi was taken aback by such a formal farewell.

He said, "You're welcome."

This will be the last time I see them on a daily basis.Because in the future, I will never come to this place where I am not welcome-even if Dazai is here.

No matter how much I like him, he still has the self-esteem of a normal person.

The time to leave was delayed by two years than I thought, which is not bad.

The moment he passed by, Edogawa Ranpo suddenly said, "Do you need to help convey something to a certain 'teacher'?"

Fukuzawa Yukichi: "Huh?"

Edogawa smiled and said, "It's Kunikida-kun's nickname." After explaining to Fukuzawa, he said to me, "Aki must have left something to say in this situation."

"This situation" shows that the famous detective knows everything again.

I secretly sighed at his keenness, and said, "Yes. Please tell him so that he will not blame himself."

A complex light flashed across Edogawa's green eyes: "Okay, I see."

Saying goodbye to the president of the Butei Club and the famous detective, I embarked on the road back to Hong Kong and Hei.

If I see Dazai, I must tell him how depressed I was when I was caught off guard by the younger generation I taught.

[In Butei Office]

After the young man left, Kunikida Doppo seemed to be relieved suddenly, and sat down on the seat in silence.

Quan Jinghua pulled the back of Atsushi Nakajima's clothes, and asked in a low voice, "Did I say something wrong just now?"

Atsushi Nakajima: "...Uh, no, it's not your fault."

Who could have predicted this situation!

God testifies, yesterday he was still struggling with "whether or not to listen to Mr. Kunikida and send Kyoka to the police station" and "whether Kyoka who killed 35 people will be accepted by everyone in Buteisha", who Do you know that today you will face a more embarrassing and tangled situation?

——Compared with Mr. Qiu's concealed identity, Jinghua's situation pales in comparison.

Atsushi Nakajima's eyes turned into circles of mosquito coils, and he asked Izumi Kyoka in a dazed state, "So the ghost that Akutagawa Ryunosuke said...is really Mr. Aki?"

Quan Jinghua: "Yes."

"What is the level of a cadre?"

Quan Jinghua glanced at him: "The highest level below the leader of Mafia."

Everyone in the Butei Club was solemn.

"No wonder he knew everything about Renhu and reminded me 'Mafia won't let you go'..."

Atsushi Nakajima murmured, "But, since Mr. Aki is a cadre of Mafia, why didn't he arrest me?"

"..."

No one could answer his question.

Tanizaki recovered from the shock, heaved a long sigh of relief, and said, "Qiu's identity is really a blockbuster."

"Brother, do you know about ghost assassins?" Tanizaki Naomi asked with a wink.

"No, I just heard about it and know that he is a high-ranking person on the wanted list."

Tanizaki Junichiro shook his head, smiled wryly and said, "Aki doesn't look like someone engaged in assassination."

"Besides, a Mafia cadre-level executive uses supernatural powers to help run errands, send documents, buy milk tea, etc. in our agency..."

"Drinking milk tea will add double sugar."

"All tastes are welcome."

"I also like milk tablets."

"We will also send group text messages to everyone to ask us to help take care of Dazai, and we often treat guests for this."

"That sounds incredible."

"Inconceivable."

"Will Qiu really kill someone like that?"

Kunikida Dobubu: "..."

"It doesn't look like it anymore, it's also true."

Kunikida can't accept authenticity.

He closed his eyes, as if by doing so, the fact that he drove Zhu Xiaqiu away with his own mouth just now would not exist.

Before today, Kunikida Doppo's care for that young man was seen by everyone, but just now he was so blatant with Qiu, one can imagine how much he struggled.

As for why no one has been able to guess Qiu's job in the past two years, it can only be said that Qiu has acted too deceptively since the first meeting.

Akira Takeshita has the cleanest eyes.

If you just look at his eyes, you can't tell that he is a person living in that dark world.

Such a statement may not be appropriate, but his temperament is indeed completely different from other gangsters.

Everyone knows the purpose of Takeshita Akira's visit to the Armed Detective Agency - for Osamu Dazai.

To say it is affectionate is not enough to describe it, it should be infatuation to be worthy of that young man's heart.

Tanizaki Junichiro remembered the scene with that young man.

Whenever he looked at Dazai, his eyes were focused as if there was only one person in the whole world;

That time he ran into Dazai dating someone else, his expression was so sad;

Every time he asked the members about Dazai's whereabouts, his thoughts went to the clouds, and he did not forget to thank the members politely;

When he received everyone's gifts, his blue eyes were full of surprise, and he was so moved that he was about to cry.

Occasionally, he asked Qiu to use his supernatural powers to help, and he never refused. If he wanted to give him a reward, he just smiled casually: "It's a small effort, and Tanizaki-kun doesn't have to take it to heart, just buy me a cup of spiral hot milk tea."

Such a young man who is clean and gentle, highly skilled but not aggressive, and sometimes even expresses too directly, sensual and soft.

with.

A high-ranking cadre in Mafia, a ruthless executioner who works for money...

"—No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like the same kind of creature!!!"

It's no wonder that Kunikida Doppo, Tanizaki Naomi, Nakajima Atsushi and others misunderstood Qiu's identity like that, because Qiu is really a model of people who can't look like they are.

Even if Qiu beat Dazai until he vomited blood, it was due to emotion, and it has nothing to do with words like "fierce", "dark" and "violent".Afterwards, he blamed himself for the pain so much that others couldn't bear to blame him.

Such a person, even if he is full of blood, makes people think that he was accidentally injured while protecting others.

How could he be an assassin who worked for money and had blood on his hands?

However, in fact, the chilling and terrifying title of "Ghost Assassin" does belong to this young man named Akira Takeshita.

"Ugh……"

Tanizaki Junichiro scratched his head when he remembered that he had suggested that Akira Takeshita join the Armed Detective Agency, feeling a little embarrassed.

Kunikida was even more annoyed, and even laughed at himself: "I was so wrong, I actually took him as..."

"No - blame yourself!"

A drawn-out voice broke the dull atmosphere in the office.

"Mr. Ranpo?"

It was Fukuzawa Yukichi and Edogawa Ranpo who entered the door, and Edogawa said: "I didn't say this, but I told you for Qiu."

Kunikida was shocked alone.

He showed hesitation on his face, then clenched his fists, and soon came to his senses, and reported to Fukuzawa Yujihui: "President, Aki Takeshita..."

"I know."

"He is the ghost..." Kunikida suddenly got stuck in the middle of speaking, and almost lost his voice, "You, you know?"

"Ranbu told me."

"Then why do you still..." Kunikida couldn't do anything to question the president, so he could only ask politely, "Whether it's for safety or morality, let Aki, no, a killer like Aki Takeshita become our Guests are..."

"This is a joint decision between me, Dazai and Ranpo."

Fukuzawa Yukichi knew very well that with the character of his eldest disciple, he might be struggling right now.

He said: "Dazai guarantees this matter, and Aki Takeshita will not take action against people in our agency."

But as soon as he said these words, he found that everyone had a "..." expression.

Fukuzawa Yukichi: "What's wrong?"

"President, even if you don't need Mr. Dazai's guarantee for a person like Mr. Aki, we know this."

As a secretary, Haruno Kirako noticed the difference in thinking between the president and the members and explained.

Except Kunikida Doppo, everyone nodded in agreement.

This time it was Fukuzawa Yukichi's turn to "...".

Akira Takeshita, a young man, is quite capable.

It is obviously a killer that makes me have to be vigilant, but it can make all members of the club feel unguarded.

"That's it." Fukuzawa Yukichi said.

Anyway, Aki Takeshita is not an enemy, let him go.

"Where is Dazai?"

"I don't know, he hasn't been here for several days."

After Fukuzawa Yukichi left, Miyazawa Kenji suddenly mentioned a matter that was ignored by everyone.

"Aki said that he and Mr. Dazai had a similar past, and he almost became Mr. Dazai's subordinate, so Mr. Dazai's past..."

"—Mafia too??!!!"

Everyone exclaimed in unison.

Quan Jinghua added in a low voice: "It is also the top five cadres."

Everyone: "…………"

This fact is terrifying.

Sounds like a hoax.

"Aki who is with Dazai is a ghost assassin who kills without batting an eye" and "that coworker who hangs around and loves to commit suicide was once a Mafia cadre", the two facts are almost as shocking as they are.

It is no accident that some people find it hard to accept.

"Snapped"

A pen was broken in the middle.

"Kunikida-kun, calm down, calm down..."

"One or two!! How can you make me calm down like this!!!"

"Uh……"

a few days later.

Koye Ozaki, who came back from a business trip, was furious because Izumi Kyoka was taken away by Atsushi Nakajima, and decided to bring her troops down to pick up Kyoka herself.

But unfortunately, the confrontation between Koyo Ozaki and the Armed Detective Agency was intervened by a third-party superhuman.

Under the interference of the North American supernatural group "Group", Ozaki Koye unfortunately became a prisoner of the Armed Detective Agency, and Izumi Kyoka disappeared again.

When I learned that Koyo Ozaki was captured, my heart sank.

For an organization like the Port Mafia, the detention of a high-level executive is an intolerable provocation.

"You go down first."

The man in black: "Mr. Takeshita, the leader told you to go see him now."

"I'll go right away, do you want to spy on me?"

The man in black leaned over: "Don't dare."

I waved away the messenger, took a deep breath, took out my personal cell phone and dialed Dazai's number.

"Beep...beep...beep..."

"Beep...beep...beep..."

"Beep-"

Can't get through.

Dazai's phone call has not been answered for several days.

I went out again a few days ago, and we haven't seen each other since that day in the Hong Kong black torture room.

The communication in the text messages was as smooth as water. Even though Hong Kong gangsters and Butei were hostile, none of us mentioned this matter, and we still maintained our daily ordinary greetings.

The conversation in the last round was——

Me: "I bought a new can of crab meat and put it in the refrigerator, don't buy so many more."

Mr.: "Okay."

The separation is imminent, and I am more and more reluctant.

But couldn't get through to his phone.I had no choice but to edit a text message: "Mr. Dazai, please remember, I love you."

Typing hands are steady.

After editing, click Send.

【Sending...】

【Has been sent】

Coincidentally, everyone in the detective agency was also deleted.

The few remaining contacts, Kuroko Tetsuya, Kobayakawa Keiko, etc., all sent text messages one by one to inform them that they were about to change their mobile numbers, and they would contact them again when they had the opportunity.

【Has been sent】

【Has been sent】

……

After seeing the last system prompt on the interface, turn off the phone, pull out the phone card, crush it, throw it into the trash can, and go out in one go.

On the road, I met a trusted subordinate who was keen on judging honorary titles. He immediately stopped his steps and greeted me calmly: "Mr. Takeshita."

I replied: "Yeah."

I hesitated.

But in the end, he didn't say anything, and went to the chief's office without looking back.

"Boss, what can I order?"

Mori Ogai sat behind his desk, looked at me calmly and smiled: "Takeshita-kun must have understood the current situation. The red leaves fell into the hands of the detective agency. Mafia, the detective agency, and the combination are three-way confrontation, and it is endless. Hostile relationship. If the other two parties are not eliminated, Mafia's position will be strongly challenged and it will be impossible to gain a foothold in Yokohama."

I said, "At your command."

There is still a glimmer of hope in my heart. If Mori Ogai asks me to assassinate the supernatural beings of the group, I will go without saying a word.

However, the sky failed, Mori Ogai said: "It's getting cold, go and kill the president of the Armed Detective Agency first."

When I said goodbye with "Thank you for your hospitality these two years", the scene of the dignified silver-haired man saying "Your thanks" flashed through my mind.

"Why, is this task very challenging, and it actually made my outstanding subordinates hesitate?"

The leader asked again.

I asked, "Can I change the mission?"

Mori Ogai seemed to have expected it a long time ago. He laughed and said straightforwardly: "Silver Wolf Swordsman is indeed a difficult opponent. Let's do it, let's change the mission target."

"—What do you think of Osamu Dazai?"

The abyss opened.

I held my breath gently.

The words and sentences in Mori Ogai's mouth were extremely clear.

"Letting such a strategist live in the hostile camp is really unsettling. With Takeshita-kun's strength, I'm sure he can easily solve my confidant's serious trouble."

Is he really out of his mind?

Me: "Boss, please change to another mission."

Mori Ogai's voice suddenly sank: "This is an order, Takeshita-kun."

"Or, do you want to betray Mafia?"

After these threatening words were spit out from the leader's mouth, there was a scalp-numbing "click" sound of bullets being loaded behind him.

The muzzles of at least eight automatic rifles were aimed at the back of my head.

I am not surprised.

The more critical the situation, the clearer my thinking became.

I said: "Don't dare."

I said, "Since you never believed me, why did you promote me to be a cadre?"

I said: "Although this is not a clever way to show loyalty, I still have to tell you that you are thinking too much, and I have no intention of betrayal."

Mori Ogai smiled, he waved his hand and pointed to my weapon to put down, and said: "Really, then it seems that I have to say sorry to you."

An apology from a superior is usually a weapon to buy people's hearts, but that doesn't mean his gun won't be raised against me again.

And under the calm emotional sea, the magma has erupted and the shape has been reshaped, and it can never go back to the past.

The abyss has opened.

"If Mr. Nakahara was standing here, he might be happy to accept your apology. But unfortunately, I am not the second Nakahara Chuya."

So I will not forgive.

I paused, "It's not the second Osamu Dazai either."

Therefore, never betray.

Mori Ogai said, I need your proof.

Most leaders who have reached his position are overly cautious -- paranoid, to put it bluntly.

I have received many secret assassination commissions from high-ranking people to remove their confidant subordinates. If I hadn't been able to know the commission information as an executor, I would never have thought of the motives of many clients to kill the task targets.

That's why I don't want to understand the twists and turns of the intrigue every time I go out on a mission.

However, I have been in contact with it a lot, and I don’t understand it. It doesn’t mean that I don’t know the rationality of this kind of thing.

Those in power will never use a tolerant attitude to guess and estimate the distance between "rejection" and "defy", and "defy" and "resistance". In their opinion, these three words probably mean the same thing. maybe.

Otherwise, the Yokohama Port Mafia, a huge underworld organization, would not have the most important basic rule: the leader's orders must be absolutely obeyed.

The leader's order is for the benefit of the organization.

And my existence threatens the interests of the organization.

People are so close to each other, no matter how much I show my loyalty, he won't believe it.

What's more, I am deeply in love with a person who has defected to Hong Kong gangsters and is now a pillar of the enemy organization.

From a certain point of view, Mori Ogai is the leader who never embarrasses his subordinates.

He saw that I didn't want to perform the task, so he simply assigned me the most unlikely task object.

The purpose is to--

Let me say no.

"What are you doing?" Mori Ogai asked.

I lifted off the black coat, pulled out the sharp dagger from the back of my waist, and flexibly swung it twice in my right hand.Then he drew out his automatic pistol, and alternated his hands, holding a dagger in his left hand and a gun in his right hand, hanging by his side.

This is the posture I am most used to preparing for battle.

Mori Ogai's eyes widened in excitement.

I stood and sat with the leader, and the atmosphere was tense.

Mori Ogai: "Are you sure you want to do this?"

I said, "I'm sure."

……

"Kang Dang"

The guns and short knives used by the ghost assassins to kill people fell on the floor, overlapping and smashing with a crisp sound.

"I am determined to give up the mission and voluntarily accept the punishment for mission failure."

"Takeshita-kun, have you thought it through? You are a 'ghost', and what happens when you go against my will and refuse the mission is not just a simple punishment."

Of course I know.

Because my supernatural ability is "nothingness", it is a person with supernatural abilities who can escape from imprisonment at any time, is not bound by anyone or anything, and is an existence that can change positions at any time.

So I was feared by Mori Ogai, just like I was feared by those vicious underworld organizations many years ago.

After so many years, Mori Ogai will only be more afraid of me than before.

If you want me to say that I will never betray, I can only...

"You will be tortured until you are incapacitated, and then locked in a confinement room under 24-hour surveillance. Once you disappear, you will be marked as a defector from the port of Mafia, and you will be enemies of all your former subordinates. Can you accept this kind of treatment?"

"What if I have never used nothingness to escape?"

"When the dust settles, I will announce the unexpected 'death' of one of Mafia's top five cadres and legendary killer Ghost Assassin."

Death, not betrayal.

It can be regarded as preserving the reputation.

I haven't lost those things that Dazai didn't care about many years ago, but taught me to care about them.

In six years, from an unknown person to a world-class killer, from a waste who needs Hong Kong gangsters to subsidize medical expenses to the five major cadres who have brought in tens of billions of profits.

Mafia raised me, and I repay him with all my loyalty so far.

Ghost Assassin is Mafia's ghost assassin.

It should end here.

Since then, it has been completely broken, and each has nothing to do with it.

"The leader's order must be absolutely obeyed", the most important basic rule of the port mafia cannot be violated.

Refusal of orders or abandonment of tasks is actually not feasible, it is just a superficial statement.

No one can disobey the orders of the leader.

Unless, after that, it's no longer someone from the Port Mafia.

I half-kneeled on the ground, bowed my head to this man for the last time, and said, "Yes, I accept."

Mori Ogai suddenly clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Takeshita-kun! You are really an excellent subordinate that I admire very much!"

……

You can bring down boss, you are the most ruthless boss I have ever seen.
