Yokohama 8pm Theater

"—You probably don't want to be seen and heard by Yuko, right?"

There was a questioning look in Dazai's gaze, but he took the first step and locked the door of the study.

Michiko doesn't know whether the "thing" that Dazai said is the same "thing" that she thinks in her heart.If yes, then the time and place are right now, and we can talk about it; if not, then——

"what you mean?"

Dazai stopped a few steps away from Michiko, and said sincerely, "Is there anything Chiko wants to ask me? I will tell you everything, and I will never hide anything."

"But—I hate deception more than concealment."

Michiko put down the pen in her hand, turned her chair, and faced Dazai: "You obviously had many opportunities to tell me the truth directly, but you didn't. Even when I was misled and mistakenly thought that the teacher was the leader of the gangsters in Hong Kong, you didn't care about it." I didn’t say anything. In the end, my concerns and worries were just jokes. You’re really good, Dazai.”

"It's not a joke." Dazai's voice was very soft, but his tone was very serious.

Unfortunately, Michiko was unmoved.

She didn't even bother to ask "what's that?".This kind of toothpaste-squeezing dialogue is really a headache. Obviously Dazai is very eloquent. He can often turn people into ditch or make people suspicious of life, but when confronting her, he is like a saw-mouthed gourd. .

Michiko withdrew her gaze from Dazai, and then closed her eyes: "I can't even imagine, if you didn't find out about this today, how long would you plan to lie to me. One year? Ten years? Or a lifetime? Or——I would What clues did you use to discover the truth, the process and time when you discovered the truth, all of this was within your expectations? The moment I saw you in the Hong Kong and Black Building today, I actually felt that this was the closest guess to the truth. Your reaction It was so peaceful, so peaceful that it chilled my heart."

"You are so calculating, what do I think if I have calculated it at this moment? Should I forgive you and give you a chance to explain, or be completely disappointed?"

Opening his eyes, what he saw was Dazai's slightly wide-open eyes and stiff expression, as if he had been put in the freezer for a night.

Michiko's heart suddenly softened, and for a moment she even had the thought of "Did I say too much", but soon she forced herself to harden her heart.

"Now, what else do you want to say?"

Dazai lowered his eyes, avoiding Michiko's sight, his lips trembled slightly and then pursed tightly.

"I don't want to be the leader, really."

When the first sentence is successfully uttered, the rest will become easier.

"I originally planned to tell you after the dust settled. The suspended animation plan, the abdication and handover documents...these have all been arranged, and I will be able to leave Hong Kong in a few days. ——So, in Qian Only when you misunderstood, did you choose to lie to you with a false identity following your train of thought."

His lips twitched a few times, and finally he raised his eyelids and turned his gaze to this side: "Actually, there is another identity that you haven't discovered, Qianzi—the intelligence dealer "Mackerel".Whether it is becoming the leader of Hong Kong gangsters or arranging several false identities, the original intention is to find you and Odasaku who are missing as soon as possible, and to help you as much as possible in the future.Sorry, I shouldn't have lied to you. "

Seeing him blew himself up, and simply admitted his mistake, Michiko's anger subsided a little.

"Fake death and abdicate? Who do you plan to hand over the leader's position?"

"The name column is still blank, but the candidate in my heart is Chuya."

——Chung Ye?Isn't it a teacher?

Although Michiko was a little surprised, this was after all an internal matter of Hong Kong gangsters, so she didn't comment much.

"Not to mention other identities, "Mr. Kosuge" is also looking for me and helping me? "

The slap in the face came so fast, Dazai immediately stopped talking.

"Okay." Michiko waved her hand, there was no need to hold on to this point, "Since you confessed on your own initiative, let's just believe what you said, but there are some things I have to tell you clearly in advance."

Michiko raised her right hand, which was wrapped around her chest, and raised her index finger.

"Azhi, listen carefully, I will only say the following once—"

"The leader of Hong Kong gangsters, Mr. Xiaosuge, and the intelligence dealer mackerel, the three identities count as you cheating me three times. As the saying goes, there are only three things. If you cheat me again in the future, then I will not communicate with you calmly like today."

"You can choose not to tell me, or just say that you are not ready to tell me, but I hope this kind of 'cheating' will never happen again. I don't like it very much."

"As for what has happened—"

Michiko put her finger on her chin, and began to think about what kind of punishment would not expand family conflicts, but also allow Dazai to learn a profound lesson.However, after much deliberation, I was not very satisfied, so I had to choose a general method.

"Then I'll fine you to sleep in the study for a month. If Yuko asks curiously, she will say that you fell and hurt your waist, and you need to sleep in a bed alone to recuperate."

Dazai blinked, hesitated and said, "Um... Qianzi, isn't a month too long?"

"Too long?" Michiko bit the point and asked back, and then she raised a sinister smile, "Maybe you prefer to hang a sign 'I am the leader of Hong Kong gangsters' x 3 on your neck and hang it at the gate of Chinatown in Yokohama for a day ?”

Dazai quickly changed his expression, showing a cute smile: "No need, I think it's good to sleep in the study for a month."

Michiko nodded with satisfaction: "Then let's start today."

After finishing speaking, she rejected Dazai's idea of ​​delaying the execution for a day, directly unlocked the door of the study, went back to the bedroom and threw Dazai's pillow and quilt to him, and decisively shut him out of the bedroom.

"..."

Dazai moved the bedding to one hand with difficulty, then knocked on the bedroom door with his free right hand, and said helplessly, "Chiko, why don't you give me your pajamas and a change of clothes, too?"

After a while, the door opened and closed, and the neatly folded clothes were placed on his right hand.

Looking at the things in his hand, and then at the closed door, Dazai sighed silently, turned around and walked towards his sleeping place for the next month - the study.

……

A month is neither long nor short.

During this time, Dazai sent Chuya away from the headquarters on a long-term mission, and then completed his plan of feigning death to abdicate.Not long after, several pages of the "Supernatural Person Daily" were filled with this explosive news.

"Shocked! The leader of the Hong Kong gangsters was insane after accidentally eating poisonous mushrooms, and he smashed through the office window and fell to his death!"

"Breaking the news! The poisonous mushrooms are suspected to have come from Feishiyuan! The marriage between Hong Kong and black and Feishiyuan is fake news!"

"Shocked! The first thing the new leader of Hong Kong and Black took office was to rush up to the Pillar Tower to avenge the former leader! Maybe the power of gravity will sweep Feishiyuan?!"

……

Headlines like this emerge in endlessly, true and false, confusing and confusing, and several layers of veils have been cast on the truth.

A few days ago, Nanakamado in Tokyo.

A dark and short figure lingered in front of the gate of the Imperial Pillar Tower for a long time, neither entering nor leaving.After discovering that the other party was the Hong Kong black cadre Chuya Nakahara, the "Rabbit" members who were spying on him obeyed Michiko's earlier order and did not bother him or chase him away.

Finally, just before the ground under his feet was about to be worn through, Chuya stopped.

He clutched the suicide note in his hand that was said to be written by a certain bastard leader before his death, and strode aggressively through the gate of the Imperial Pillar Tower.

"Mr. Chuya, please wait a moment."

When Zaiya was looking for the elevator to the highest floor, the members of "Feishiyuan" who had been waiting there called him in time.

"King has an order. If Your Excellency is here, I will take you directly to her office."

"Qianzi?" Zhong also showed surprise, "That's troublesome."

So, under the guidance of the host, Zhong met the person he wanted to see without much effort.

Walking into King of Gold's office, Chuya just wanted to say hello to Michiko, when he saw Dazai lying on the sofa in the rest area.

"To-zai-!!!"

Anger overwhelmed reason, and Chuya rushed to Dazai's side in three steps at a time.

"Didn't you bastard live well—?! What the hell is wrong with eating poisonous mushrooms and falling to your death? And this suicide note—what's the situation if you leave the position of leader to me?"

However, Dazai, who was caught by the collar, just raised his hands innocently: "Sir, what do you have to do with 'Dazai Osamu' and me 'Tsushima Shuji'?"

"..."

Seeing that a string of "well" characters popped out on Zhongya's forehead, and he was about to use gravity to teach Dazai how to behave, Michiko who was beside him hurriedly reminded them with a smile: "Chuya, this is the Yuzhu Tower, not the Ganghei Building. Aji , you also restrain yourself, or do you want me to throw you out?"

The two on the other side of the sofa froze for a moment at the same time, Chuya let go of Dazai's collar, and Dazai put away his joking expression.They sat opposite each other and talked for a while in the rest area, but they didn't know what to say, so Zhong got up and left.

When the office door was closed, Michiko looked at Dazai and asked curiously, "What did you tell him?"

Dazai shrugged: "I didn't say anything. The news has already spread, the suicide note has been made public, and everything is a foregone conclusion. Although Yi Chuya's character will be very unhappy, he will never abandon this responsibility."

That being said, Michiko couldn't help but sympathize with Nakaya in her heart.

Not long after that, China officially took over as the leader of Hong Kong gangsters.

He can be called "the last conscience of Hong Kong gangsters", and he has a very good reputation among his subordinates. He is known as "literary can approve official documents, and martial arts can kill dragons".

At the same time, gossip about the "former Hong Kong gangster leader who feigned death for love and married into an untimely court" was also spread in the outside world.

Leaving aside whether the news is true or not, let’s just talk about those who are planning to make a fortune because they won the "dying breath game". The casino asks for an explanation.

Of course, no matter how the rumors spread outside, it will not affect Dazai and Michiko's family of three.

Now they are struggling with "which yukata to wear for the summer festival in three days' time".
