[Wen Hao] I worked hard to restore the health of the protagonist group

"You need to take an assessment to join the Armed Detective Agency, but the president is away recently, so the assessment needs to be postponed."

The two walked side by side on the path. Xie Shuyi followed behind Dazai Osamu all the time, listening to someone chattering all the way until he finally got to the point. His distracted thoughts slowly came back to him.

His eyebrows were furrowed and his expression was distressed.

"You were the one who invited me to join. Now you're telling me I need to take an assessment? Tsk, is it too late for me to leave now?"

He originally chose to join the Armed Detective Agency because of Dazai Osamu's confusing words, and his uncle also asked him to follow Dazai Osamu, so Xie Shuyi agreed. But now he says he needs to be assessed?

As a 19-year-old boy, in the midst of puberty, his rebellious psychology suddenly broke out, and his expression seemed as if he would abandon Dazai Osamu and turn away at any time.

Dazai Osamu was not panicked at all. He walked leisurely with a smile on his face.

"Since the assessment has not yet begun, you will be an intern at the Armed Detective Agency, but you won't be paid."

His tone was drawn out, with a wave at the end, and his voice was so mean and unquestionable.

Xie Shuyi covered his head and curled his lips, "So this is why I became your follower?"

Dazai Osamu suddenly stopped and turned around. Jie Shuyi was startled, but because he didn't feel any danger, he neither dodged nor retreated.

He let Dazai Osamu walk up to him in two steps, and then this man, who was not much taller than him, poked Jie Shuyi in the chest.

I don't know when her eyes were filled with tears, and her tone was so sad, as if Jie Shuyi was an irresponsible and unfaithful man.

"Hey, hey, hey, why do you look so unconvinced? What's wrong with following me? You were quite happy when you followed Odasaku around before. How am I inferior to him? As expected, the child has grown up and can't be kept. After all..."

Dazai Osamu spoke very loudly, and the passers-by around him couldn't help but look at him sideways. Jie Shuyi really couldn't afford to lose face in front of him, so he covered Dazai Osamu's mouth with his hand.

"Okay, okay, okay, I know, I know, I'll listen to you. I'll listen to you."

As soon as Xie Shuyi said this, Dazai Osamu's wailing quickly stopped. He still had that faint smile on his face, and was now tidying up his slightly messy clothes.

Xie Shuyi looked at the bandage on his arm that was exposed under his long sleeves and moved up and down with Mr. Dazai's movements, then he looked away.

But the next second, Dazai Osamu squatted down and entered Shuyi's field of vision quite forcefully, with a very serious expression.

"I have an important task to complete and I need your help."

Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, Xie Shuyi also looked at him seriously.

"What do you need me to do?"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the documents in Dazai Osamu's hand were forcefully stuffed into his arms.

"Huh?" Xie Shuyi was completely stunned. He looked up and saw his nominal distant cousin, the official employee who was supposed to be his intern, standing 10 meters away from him, waving his hand happily.

Dazai Osamu stood on the bridge and pointed to the turbulent river below. "Hey, this bridge looks good for jumping. I'm going to die. I'll ask Xiaoyi to send the documents back."

He stood on the railing of the bridge, his expression so relaxed, and as the people around him exclaimed, he leaned back without any hesitation...

Xie Shuyi didn't even have time to react. His limbs were stiffer than ever before. He watched with his own eyes as Mr. Dazai fell into the turbulent river in front of him.

His stiff fingers could not hold the documents in his arms, and the papers fell to the ground. Xie Shuyi's pupils still shrank sharply. What was Mr. Dazai's ability? How dare he jump down like this? ! !

The broken sand and subtle whirlpools in the river, coupled with the height of the bridge above the river surface, would hurt even the strongest person.

Even though he knew that Mr. Dazai liked to commit suicide and believed in a refreshing, bright and energetic suicide, Xie Shuyi had never seen him actually die after knowing Dazai for so long. He always thought that he was just talking.

(In order to avoid misunderstandings by some readers, I would like to explain here that in Chapter 21, Xie Shuyi's memory of all the plots of Bungo Stray Dogs had been deleted, so his understanding of all the characters in the plot only existed at the stage when he himself interacted with them. So he didn't know that it was difficult for Dazai Osamu to die?)

"Damn, crazy!"

Xie Shuyi did not continue to be in a daze. He picked up his feet and ran towards the river. Before he realized it, cold sweat had already soaked his back.

He chased all the way, but did not see Dazai Osamu in the river. His pace became faster and faster, and his heart beat faster than ever before.

"Please don't die...Dazai."

Below the river, the person he was thinking about so much, Dazai Osamu, was rescued by a kind-hearted passerby.

The white-haired boy was gasping for breath on the ground in a panic, while Dazai Osamu was spitting out river water as if nothing had happened.

Seeing that Dazai Osamu was still alive, the boy was obviously relieved. His clothes were soaked by the river water. Although he looked disheveled, he smiled.

"You fell into the river and were washed away. Are you okay?" he asked.

"Have you been rescued?" Dazai Osamu was stunned at first, and then his expression instantly frowned, "Tsk!"

The young man who saved the man was also confused, his facial expression became strange, and he subconsciously dodged to the side, unable to believe what he heard.

He saved this person and actually said "che"?

"Are you the one who stopped me from jumping into the river?"

"I just wanted to save your life." The boy answered readily, and then suddenly realized, "Huh? Jump into the river??!!!"

"Don't you know? Throwing oneself into a river?" Dazai Osamu stood there expressionlessly, "It means suicide."

"Suicide?!!!!" The boy was obviously even more shocked, and his voice was trembling.

"Yes, I was about to commit suicide, and I even threw Xiao Yi-chan into the river." Dazai Osamu's expression was extremely stinky, "But you meddled in my business."

The moment the boy heard him say he wanted to commit suicide, he had already moved his butt to the side. Facing Dazai Osamu's disgusted gaze, the corners of his mouth twitched.

Why are you angry with me?

"Having said that, I believe in not causing trouble to others and committing suicide without any stain. Since I have caused you trouble, it means that my plan has been leaked. To express my apology, let me..."

Before Dazai Osamu could finish his words, a gurgling sound came from the boy's stomach.

"Are you hungry, boy?" Dazai Osamu asked with his head tilted.

“Actually, I haven’t eaten for several days.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a sound was heard, even louder than his stomach just now.

Dazai Osamu readily responded, "What a coincidence, me too."

"Then why not..." the boy started excitedly, but his hopes were soon crushed.

"By the way, my wallet seems to have been washed away."

"How could this happen?" The boy was like a deflated balloon, so sad that he almost lay on the ground.

"So you're here! Idiot!" A loud voice of abuse came from the other side of the river. The two looked up and Dazai Osamu greeted them first.

"Kunikida-kun, thank you for your hard work!" He waved happily.

"You still have the nerve to say that you've worked hard. It's all because of you, you suicidal maniac. How much do you want to mess up my plan before you give up? Where's the information I asked you to deliver?"

"Information? Didn't Xiao Yi-chan send it to you? Well, you're just a kid, so you might have been playing too much and delayed it." Dazai Osamu didn't take it to heart. He turned around and spoke to the boy.

"Oh, I have a good idea. He is my colleague, so let him treat us."

Then, regardless of Kunikida-kun's crazy roar, Dazai Osamu still looked at the boy with a smile.

"What's your name?"

"Nakajima Atsushi."
