When the man in the sand-colored windbreaker opened the door of the detective agency, he attracted everyone's attention - after all, a sudden disappearance at this time would inevitably attract a little attention, although only Kunikida Doppo, who works as hard as his mother, would.
Ask questions seriously:
"You are still missing at this time, you——"
"I'm not disappearing, Kunikida-kun~"
Dazaiji confidently threw himself into the soft sofa. After moving to a comfortable position, he rested his head and said with a smile:
"I followed Ranpo-san's instructions and contacted a dangerous person."
Kunikida, who was rolling up his sleeves and ready to rush over and take action, was stunned.
"So, you are...going to work?"
A drop of cold sweat broke out on the back of Kunikida's head: "That Dazai can actually work?"
Osamu Dazai: "..."
Dazai Osamu: "I'm so sad to hear this, Kunikida-kun, don't I have a hard-working job?"
Kunikida resolutely said: "You didn't."
Dazai Osamu: "That's too much, Kunikida-kun——"
Seeing that Dazai was about to play Kunikida again, if they started arguing again, Dazai might get lost in this conversation again.
"So, Mr. Dazai."
Miyazawa Kenji raised his head curiously, because after a full meal, Kenji always felt lazy and wanted to sleep, so when he returned to the detective agency, he put his face on the table: "What did you investigate?"
Mr. Ranpo may have lost his way somewhere again, or he may have asked the newbie Atsushi to run errands with him to buy crepes from the amusement park... Kenji thought this while talking to Hatcher.
"I investigated..."
Dazai's expression was still smiling, his hands were placed behind his head, and his iris-colored eyes were not looking at the people in the detective agency who had been attracted, but looking at the ceiling of the detective agency.
"Sure enough, the natural type can restrain everything~"
other people:"?"
――――
Facts have proved that the fact that my Tookun task did not pop up does not mean a delay, nor does it mean there will be a follow-up. It is just a pure, simple... failure.
[Side mission (Han Xin) completed]
[Side mission? Han Xin: Everyone takes what they need, that’s all.]
[Task description: Han Xin is in the Chaos camp in the dungeon and makes a living by taking over tasks in the gray area. Please ask the summoner to maintain Han Xin's character and complete Han Xin's gray camp tasks. 】
[Mission goal: Assist the port mafia to prevent the beluga from crashing in Yokohama.]
[Task attribute: Chaos? Good]
[Obtain side mission reward: Hero Experience Card x1]
[The main mission (Han Xin) has failed]
[Mission Description: Han Xin is a tough-tempered, adaptable, seemingly taciturn but actually very brave hero. He can endure a moment of humiliation, and a gentleman will seek revenge within ten years. But at the same time, there are rumors circulating in the canyon that "Han Xin stole Kun".
Because it was accepted by the public, it became Han Xin's iconic behavior. In this copy, the summoner is required to "repay it a hundred times" and steal a Kun. (The evaluation criteria for the Kun-stealing task are: using one's own hands or tools
.Kun’s range is expanded: Summoners are asked to make their own judgment.)]
[Explanation of failure: Kun was not operated by a summoner, but was controlled by a well-meaning Russian into the sea. He did not meet the evaluation standard of "using his own hands or using tools with his own hands". He met "any one of them was not met", and the main mission failed. 】
[Submission of the main mission: I will definitely pay you back a hundred times]
[The main mission has two requirements. If you fail one, you will start from the other by default. From now on, the summoner (Han Xin status) is required to do: "You will definitely return it a hundred times", and the evaluation time is the copy time. 】
[Failed to steal Kun, main quest reward will be halved]
Just when I confirmed that the gentleman who saved me from danger was a member of the Port Mafia, the mission failed message popped up, and my mood suddenly collapsed.
I originally thought that my driving skills were quite superb, but I didn't expect that it was a "kind-hearted Russian" who was helping me... Well, if I fail, I fail, and it's not like I haven't failed before.
As for why the man in the sand-colored trench coat is definitely from the Port Mafia——
"You did a great job." This man, who is about the same height as me, said. He has a flawless handsome face that rivals that of a hero model. His figure is also broad shoulders, narrow waist, and slender limbs. He also has a
An indescribable but very noticeable temperament... I think it's a bit like the quiet, dark atmosphere that has always been popular in Nihong - I don't really catch a cold, I have a sunny and lively personality.
"The harm to Yokohama caused by the white whale entering the sea is negligible, and the Port Mafia has also successfully overcome this crisis-" The next words of course should be the employer, the Port Mafia... They
Are all people so good-looking?
I stared at his face and started to lose focus.
There are some extremely handsome people, and there are also those who are flawlessly handsome. At least I stand at the top of the mountain of good looks. However, this has something to do with my years of hard work in skin care. Otherwise, the wind will blow.
If my skin turns yellow and black, my appearance will be reduced by at least three degrees!
"...and I would like to know more about the mission process on the Beluga, regarding the control of the Beluga and the situations you encountered..."
"Manipulating the white whale?" I came to my senses.
Beluga? Is it that Kun?
"That was not controlled by me." I immediately confessed honestly. I couldn't pretend to take the credit, not to mention how embarrassing it would be if the real owner found out?
"Oh?" The Hong Kong gangster on the opposite side looked very interested, "Then do you know who is controlling it?"
"..."
I thought about it. When the mission failed pop-up just now, it seemed to be marked?
"A well-meaning Russian."
"……ha?"
――――
This was the first time that Osamu Dazai heard that the leader of the Rats of the Dead House would be described like this, "a kind-hearted Russian". Phew, this could be used as a basis for ridiculing him. This joke could entertain him for at least three days.
Today is the third day.
Three days ago, he was not very active in trying to trick the believer. It was surprisingly easy to extract information. The man with the silver ponytail was surprisingly simple, and by the way, he was also a bit natural and naturally choking.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that this is an act - the cultist has also been active in gray areas and made a living by taking tasks, but he has never talked to people after a task like this time. Normally, he would disappear without a trace.
Moreover, he also received help from that "devil"... Fyodor Dostoevsky's help? Dostoevsky did not appear in Moby-Dick, only with the help of "Rat in the Dead House"
How did he come up with "Russian" as the symbol? This "believer" is full of doubts.
However, Dazai Osamu kept his thoughts in his heart. Moreover, even if he had intended to, he had not met the cultist again in the past two days, because gangs of all sizes have become more active recently and are ready to find him or recruit him. That person
It seems that he has returned to the stage where his whereabouts are uncertain, or there is no news at all.
Instead, "Van Helsing" became active again.
Van Helsing's position in Yokohama is very embarrassing. He does not belong to any party, nor does he lean towards any party's position. He is very reckless and beats up everyone when he sees a deal in the dark, even those from the Special Agents Division.
They will all be treated correctly and treated equally.
But at the same time, because he inexplicably abides by "justice", Mr. Mori likes his... ease of use.
This is also the reason why Osamu Dazai felt that Ogai Mori was the backup choice.
"Van Helsing", who has been quiet for a while recently, has come back again. This is indeed the reason why he will pay more attention to it, but the more important reason is actually--
This Fan Helsing seems to be ready to hook up with Zhongyuan Zhongya.
Well, this makes Dazai Osamu, the former Hong Kong mafia cadre and Nakahara Chuuya's partner, feel a little complicated. Just regarding the action with Van Helsing, what is his purpose of getting close to the black dwarf? It can't be that he wants to join in the recruitment.
The Port Mafia who rejected him many times and was rejected many times, right?
The threat of Dostoyevsky, the remnants of the group, the restless gangs of all sizes, the weird cultists everywhere, and now a lone ranger with unknown purpose, Yokohama has really become lively recently.
Moreover, Chuuya's status is very special, and Mr. Mori seems to turn a blind eye to it as if he doesn't care. No matter how you look at it, something is wrong.
That Van Helsing...what's going on?
――――
The bar that Dazai Osamu liked to go to in the past was "Lupin". People who like wine like Nakahara will certainly go to bars. Getting drunk is a common thing. He also often goes to bars to drink with his subordinates, but in the past two days,
, the person he drank with was not a subordinate whom he dragged over to kill someone, nor was he a drunkard guarding the bar who could drink alone and defeat a group of people, but a strange man.
It’s not like he didn’t know this man. He had a reputation for fighting prowess, but he had never fought against him. The boss even specifically told him, “Chuya-kun’s new drinking buddy is very good.” He felt that when the boss said this, it was like coaxing Alice to change her skirt.
The same thing made him feel goosebumps.
Although the boss's request to seduce people secretly made him shudder, but he didn't feel too embarrassed - this Fan Helsing was very cheerful. He just drank and didn't say a single unnecessary word. Zhongyuan Zhongya would also feel that,
It would be nice to have such a bartender?
It would be better if they could share the tasting of high-end wine. This man who also likes to wear hats only drinks the wine from his own wine jar, and covers it tightly like a treasure, refusing to give a drop to others.
The two of them sat together and drank together three days ago. Three days ago, the crisis of the white whale crashing in Yokohama was resolved. Nakahara Chuya drank a bottle of good wine with Sister Momiji and the boss to celebrate. Such a small amount of wine was certainly not enough to enjoy themselves.
So he went to the bar and opened a bottle of red wine that was not old.
"Did Mr. Nakahara come here by himself today?"
The bartender wiped the glass and asked. The transparent glass reflected different colors under the bright and ambiguous lights of the bar. It looked so beautiful. Zhongyuan Zhongya just stared at the glass without looking away. He nodded casually. He felt
I seem to be a little tipsy.
At this time, someone sat down on the seat next to him, and the bartender who was cleaning the glass put down his work and turned to ask the new customer what he wanted to order. The new customer did not say anything, but looked at him.
"Your hat...is a bit nice."
"ah?"
Zhongyuan Zhongya turned his head blankly. From his angle, he could only see a chin - and the wide brim of a cowboy hat that suppressed his white broken hair:
