Chief Oda won't complain

"The coat is left in the house, and I will wear it later when I go back."

I blurted out the term "safe house".After all, it's a place where people come and go, so it's better not to say a few words that ordinary people shouldn't talk about.

I turned my head to look at the friend who suddenly appeared: "Dazai knows that I have a house here?"

Dazai nodded: "Although I know, I promise I didn't trespass. I just want to talk to Oda Saku, so I came here to find you."

"That's it. Did you brush your teeth properly after eating candy?" I reminded Dazai to brush his teeth when we parted.

"Of course I brushed it." Dazai looked resentful, "Why is there no crabmeat-flavored toothpaste? It's so unreasonable. I don't understand what smells so good about the mint-flavored toothpaste everywhere. Is the toothpaste manufacturer targeting me? ?”

I said: "I can't buy curry-flavored toothpaste, so the situation is the same, not targeted. And if it's all my favorite food flavor, I can't help but swallow the toothpaste when I brush my teeth. It's a problem."

Dazai agreed deeply: "That's right. It must be wonderful if you can swallow toothpaste and die, but toothpaste is not poisonous, so you can only swallow it to death in the end. Even if it is my favorite flavor of crab meat, it still feels like it is not enough to die. It was so painful that maybe halfway through it I couldn't help but start throwing up."

I said: "It seems that I can only give up."

Dazai nodded weakly: "Yes, I have to give up. Alas, I have used the mint-flavored toothpaste for too long and I am tired of it, so I recently changed to a fruit-flavored children's toothpaste. You should try it too, Odasaku Try it? It’s strawberry, and it’s got rave reviews.”

"Really? That's really looking forward to it."

Dazai casually took out a box of unopened children's toothpaste from his body and gave it to me. I took it casually and stuffed it into my pants pocket.

When I turned around to get the porridge, I found that the owner of the porridge shop looked at us with a hesitant expression on his face.

I asked: "What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing." The owner of the porridge shop shook his head and walked away, talking to himself in a low voice, "Two inexplicable guys."

It was very quiet but I still heard it.

Dazai also heard it, he didn't know which joke he poked, he laughed to himself several times, causing the owner of the porridge shop to hide further away.

Now that the packed porridge was very hot, I was not in a hurry to return to the safe house, but went to a remote corner with Dazai. Dazai looked around to confirm that there was no monitoring or other problems, and spoke slowly: " Do you still remember what we said earlier, Odasaku?"

Before?

I thought for a while: "Is it about developing the intelligence department as much as possible?"

It was discussed at the Armed Detective Agency at the time, and Dazai and I made a random decision to promote Ango to head of the intelligence department.

Dazai tilted his head: "Well, speaking of this... I immediately pulled Ango to start after moving the ace's treasure house, and there was no delay at all! Don't be afraid to brag about it, it's really efficient."

I was slightly startled: "Is there any result already?" This is not an ordinary high efficiency, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is superhuman.

"Of course it has achieved results. I remember that the direction of the intelligence investigation requested by Oda Saku was: to find out whose eyes are on Yokohama, who is coveting this place, and who wants to get things from Yokohama that they shouldn't get. That's the request, right?"

I nodded: "Not bad."

Dazai held out a finger: "Then please listen to the latest news: there are nasty rats coming to Yokohama."

"mouse?"

"Specifically, it is an overseas organization called the Rats of the Dead House. On the surface, it is just an underground intelligence house. But the smell of rats is really suffocating. If you treat it as harmless, you will be in bad luck."

Dazai's kite-colored eyes were slightly cold, and he rarely put away his usual relaxed posture in front of me.

Obviously, in Dazai's view, the rat of the dead house is really troublesome.

"Their leader, Fyodor, is called a demon, and he is the guy I have to be on my guard against, and he probably thinks that Yokohama has something he wants.

So let's drill down the sewer myself, I can't find him for the time being, he is very good at hiding.Odasaku, no matter what happens, never underestimate Majin, this is my advice. "

The last sentence Dazai emphasized.

I couldn't help raising my eyes to meet Dazai's.

I was thinking, does Dazai know?

If Dazai didn't know that I took a Fyodor out of the box, why did Dazai emphasize this sentence?Just a coincidence?

But if Dazai already knew, he should have said to me now—"Odasaku, can you show me your safe house?"

"No..." I said without thinking.

Oops, the rejection was too straightforward.I promised Fyodor that no one would have access to him, so it was impossible to agree to take Dazai to the safe house.

But my answer like this is equivalent to self-reporting, making it clear that there are secrets in the safe room that I don't want Dazai to get in touch with.

I found it very unfortunate that Dazai's already cold eyes became colder after he mentioned Fyodor, and his voice became light and ethereal: "Well... I understand, I overstepped."

"Dazai..." I didn't know what to say for a moment.

The word "Passover" is too heavy to be used among friends, and the distance is virtually opened.

Dazai didn't seem to feel anything wrong, and put on a smiling face: "Well, as a cadre, trying to explore the leader's safe house is really a serious invasion of privacy. Even if Odasaku and I are friends Are you troubled by this? Don’t be angry, I will pay attention to it in the future.”

"Dazai..." I couldn't help calling out again with an emphatic tone, unable to agree with what he said suddenly.

Did he mean to distance himself from me?Does he think I want to distance myself from him?

The false smile on Dazai's face grew bigger: "Don't worry, I know that Oda Saku is also very helpless. The status of a leader is like this, and a certain distance must be kept between him and his subordinates. I understand it well, and I won't hold any grudges." , I will also be considerate of Odasaku's difficulties in the future. Then I will go first."

"Dazai!" I finally couldn't help shouting.Basically roaring.

When I yelled like this, I noticed that Dazai seemed to be taken aback by me, and his shoulders trembled slightly.I quickly lowered my voice: "Dazai, we need to talk."

Dazai blinked his eyes slowly, as if he couldn't catch his breath for a while because of shock: "Tell me?"

In fact, I have been looking for such an opportunity.

Dazai in this world is undoubtedly more lonely. He has been watching the dark side of the world, living and growing up in the port mafia, and enjoying the bounded friendship with me and Ango.

Friendships that maintain boundaries can seem like a safety net.But after Ango defected in the "story", the hurt emotions easily broke through our respective inner defenses, causing all three of them to suffer.

This may show that the boundaries between us are meaningless.

I want to push Dazai into the light, not just a change in the environment, I also need to tell Dazai something positive.

But I never really thought about how to say it.After all, I didn't have a duel with Gide and was on the verge of death. There wasn't such a special situation where I could naturally talk to Dazai about the truth.

If I just met Dazai one day and opened my mouth to instill positive energy into him, not only would it be embarrassing to imagine, but it would definitely not be able to reach the depths of Dazai's heart.

So I kept it on hold, unable to figure out how to talk to Dazai.

Now is an opportunity, and if I miss it, I will regret it.

I am really an incompetent and terrible leader who is forced by things to drive ducks to the shelves.

Seeing that Dazai was about to leave at any time, I hurriedly organized my words: "Dazai, don't be afraid of losing."

These words temporarily stopped Dazai from leaving.

I secretly adjusted my breathing to make myself more calm: "As long as you think you don't want to lose something, you will definitely lose it." You think so, right? "

A bird flies across the sky and casts a momentary shadow.

"I can't make promises to you that can't be realized, and I won't comfort you meaninglessly saying, "There is no such thing, there must be treasures that cannot be lost in the world, and you can get them as long as you work hard to find them." That kind of coaxing children I won't say it, and you probably won't listen either. "

A leaf reflects too bright a color in the sunlight.

"As you can imagine, things are always changing, and what you get will be lost one day. Life in this world seems to be always pursuing the value that cannot last forever, but..."

But, right now, I want to help a lonely child with all my heart.

Can I convey this intention successfully?

"But don't get stuck in the pain."

I reached out and touched Dazai's shoulder lightly.

I have always comforted people with a pat on the shoulder.So at this moment, should I pat Dazai on the shoulder?

"Dazai, if you let yourself indulge in bad feelings, your life will be a never-ending nightmare."

I held the lonely child in my arms.

The author has something to say: "If... life is a never-ending nightmare." This sentence pattern is actually cut from the words of Dazai Education Dundun in the original work.
