It is said that I joined the wrong organization with my friend

The so-called butterfly effect refers to a butterfly in the tropical rainforest of the Amazon River Basin in South America, which occasionally flaps its wings a few times, which can cause a tornado in Texas two weeks later.

The reason is that the movement of the butterfly's wings causes changes in the air system around it, and produces weak airflow, and the generation of weak airflow will cause corresponding changes in the surrounding air or other systems, thus causing a chain reaction. Eventually lead to drastic changes in other systems. [note 1]

Although it is a bit exaggerated, it can also be seen how powerful the so-called chain reaction is. An inconspicuous small action can cause a series of huge reactions.

If the preconditions are changed, how can it be possible to get the same result as the original?

lupin bar.

This is a bar located somewhere in Tokyo, not within the scope of Yokohama, but it is not difficult to get here from Yokohama.

After all, Japan is a small place. The distance between Yokohama and Tokyo is not far. It doesn’t take long to reach two places that are not far away. If there is no accident, it only takes one hour to drive between Yokohama and Tokyo. Two hours, right?

Today, the three members of the rogue faction—no, maybe there is no such thing as a rogue faction here. After all, among the three, only one of them, Sakunosuke Oda, is writing novels, and he has already made some achievements.

In short, tonight, these three people met here by rare coincidence.When Ango Sakaguchi arrived by car, he thought that Oda Sakunosuke and Dazai Osamu had an appointment to meet here, but he just happened to meet them. Who would have thought that Dazai Osamu happened to be here when Oda Sakunosuke came.

The three chatted as usual, after all, they were all members of the port mafia - a high-level cadre of the port mafia, an exceptionally good intelligence officer of the port mafia, and a low-level member of the port mafia. The party class is not exaggerated.

Dazai Osamu and Sakaguchi Ango chatted about the interesting things they encountered at work. When Dazai Osamu asked Oda Sakunosuke curiously, Oda Sakunosuke talked about his daily life in his usual voice that did not fluctuate: "It's nothing, It's just... in the morning, I went to mediate the conflict between a boss's wife and the mistress, then blabla in the afternoon, and dismantled the duds when I came over in the evening."

These extremely interesting jobs in Dazai's eyes made Dazai's eyes light up: "Oh!! Sounds so interesting! Odasaku, how about the two of us come and change jobs!"

Oda Sakunosuke refused unexpectedly: "No."

Ango Sakaguchi added: "Isn't it impossible to even know?"

"If it's Dazai, he will definitely be blown up when dismantling the dud bomb!" Oda Sakunosuke said seriously, as if he could already see Dazai dismantling the (xun) bomb (si).

"Blow up! Ango! Did you hear that? He said I would be blown up!" Osamu Dazai shouted excitedly to Ango Sakaguchi, and Ango Sakaguchi sighed helplessly in response.

"However, having said that..." Oda Sakunosuke silently watched the two friends fighting, and said abruptly: "I plan to quit the port mafia."

"?!!" Dazai Osamu and Sakaguchi Ango who suddenly heard this sentence looked at Oda Sakunosuke.

"Huh?" Seeing the two friends like this, Sakunosuke Oda, who thought they were worried that he would not meet the two of them again after leaving the port mafia, was stunned for a moment, and said:

"You don't have to react so much, do you? We can still drink and chat here together."

"No, that's not the point." Among the three, Ango Sakaguchi, who was in charge of complaining, once again took on the task of complaining.

"Yeah," Osamu Dazai was not being funny, and nodded in agreement: "Odasaku, you just said that you want to quit the port mafia? —— Isn't this what people often say outside, resign?!"

In the other world, especially in places like the Port Mafia, I have never seen anyone say they want to quit—that is, the "resignation" of the watch world. Osamu Dazai seems to be very interested, and the whole Zai's eyes are bright like a few kilowatt light bulbs: "Odasaku! You want to resign?!"

Oda Sakunosuke, who was flashed by Osamu Dazai, nodded: "Yes."

"Ahhhhh!! It's resignation! As expected of Odasaku!" Osamu Dazai excitedly spun around on the stool and turned to Ango Sakaguchi: "Ango! Did you hear that!"

"Ah, I heard it." Ango Sakaguchi looked at this suddenly excited friend speechlessly, but this was normal, after all, it was almost impossible to easily quit an organization in the other world.

Of course, this is for certain people. It may be troublesome for low-level people like Oda Sakunosuke who can't play much role in the organization, but it is not impossible.

"But... you actually decided to resign?" Sakaguchi Ango pushed his glasses and pondered: "That's fine, the mafia is indeed a very dangerous job. By the way, if you resign, what are you going to do? I remember that your family still Raised five children."

Ango Sakaguchi didn't think that Sakunosuke Oda would not consider the children's problems. Therefore, regarding this issue, the man in front of him should have a way out, and even has a fixed income.

The news that Sakunosuke Oda was going to resign from the port mafia came quite suddenly, but as friends, they also supported each other's approach.

Although it was sudden, in the eyes of Oda Sakunosuke, it was taken for granted.

Oda Sakunosuke nodded, and explained to the two friends who finally got together in Lupine: "I thought about it carefully, and decided to resign. The children are all grown up and have reached the age of school, and now they continue to be a mafia. Somewhat inappropriate."

"Well, is it really okay?" Osamu Dazai asked: "The wages of the lower-level personnel of the port mafia are just barely enough for you to support them, right? Can the new job really support you?"

Putting away the excitement of hearing the news just now, Osamu Dazai couldn't help thinking about family survival for his friends.As a friend, he certainly knows that Oda Sakunosuke is a father who has adopted five children. He has to worry about the future survival of this family, no, life.

Osamu Dazai knew that Sakunosuke Oda was recommended to editor Sasaki because of Atsushi Nakajima, and he also knew that he had written articles in recent years, but because Sakunosuke Oda kept it too secret—according to himself, he was embarrassed to let his friends read it , because he felt that what he wrote was really not very good.

So much so that Osamu Dazai didn't have a very clear concept of Oda Sakunosuke's achievements in literature.Although it is not impossible for him to check it himself, as a friend, he should also respect his friend's ideas.

"Ah, don't worry about this," Oda Sakunosuke explained: "Now, the money I write the article to support a few children, and send them to school is no problem."

This is true.

No matter how you say it, Sakunosuke Oda is also a three-dimensional writer. Although he is two-dimensional and his output is not very good, there are quite a few readers who like what he wrote. The income has exceeded his income in the port mafia.

When the royalties were gradually increasing, Oda Sakunosuke began to move the idea of ​​​​resigning from the port mafia.

He didn't want to kill people, but because he used to be a killer, he didn't know how to do it even though he had a dream of being a writer. Besides, he didn't know how to make a living besides "killing people".

Such Oda Sakunosuke finally chose the job of the bottom member of the port mafia at that time.

Although he was doing dirty work that others were unwilling to do, but relatively speaking, the wages that were generous enough for him to raise a child still made this man compromise—not to mention, besides this, he didn't know that he could do it What.

But now, he can say that he no longer needs this job. To be honest, this is something that Oda Sakunosuke didn't think of at the beginning. He originally thought that he would work in this position until his death.

But now it is no longer necessary.

Oda Sakunosuke felt that he was lucky. He was so lucky to meet Nakajima Atsushi that day, and was recommended to Sasaki by the other party. The benefactor is not too much.

This has nothing to do with the other party's purpose, as long as Oda Sakunosuke knows that the other party has indeed given him another means of survival and occupation.

What's more, if he hadn't met Atsushi Nakajima and been recommended to Sasaki, he wouldn't have been able to earn enough money to raise five children outside of the Port Mafia, let alone have the idea of ​​resigning like he is now .

"However, what I'm most worried about now is..." Oda Sakunosuke said with some worry, "I don't know if the port mafia can leave."

"Oh? It's just like that?" Osamu Dazai looked at his friend sitting beside him a little amusedly: "There's nothing to worry about, you forgot, I'm a cadre of the port mafia."

"As a friend, it's perfectly fine to help you a little bit." Osamu Dazai put one hand down on the counter and rested his chin on the counter, and looked at his friend with a smile. Come on, it’s a piece of cake~”

Yes, a piece of cake.

For the cadres of the port mafia, do you need other people to object to the resignation of a low-level person who has been in the port mafia for several years?No, he doesn't even need to ask Mori Ogai, of course, there is no need to tell Mori Ogai about such trivial matters.

It's just the departure of a little guy, isn't it?

Although he has already decided to resign, Oda Sakunosuke feels that it is necessary to talk to Atsushi Nakajima. Without him, the other party can be regarded as the benefactor who led him to really embark on the road of writing. Besides, the other party has I have also taught myself in writing, and if I tell him, the other party will also feel happy for me, right?

Although he will definitely communicate with Atsushi Nakajima in writing in the future, these are two different things after all: Mafia and writer are obviously two different professions, so we have to look at them separately.

In short, whether it is the fact that the other party has friendship with him in the port mafia, or the fact that he is a senior in writing and is now working under the same editor, he should check it out.

But obviously, as a low-level employee, it is impossible for him to enter the five buildings that are the cards of the port mafia, so he naturally has no way to go in and find Atsushi Nakajima.

"Huh? That's it?" After listening to Oda Sakunosuke's troubles, Sakaguchi Ango didn't know what to complain about except that his friend was too honest. Having said that, he still put forward a highly feasible suggestion: " You can ask Dazai to take you in! It’s not a big problem for him at all, is it?”

"That's right," Osamu Dazai nodded, unable to stop agreeing: "Isn't it just taking Oda Saku to Rendun-kun? Do you need to worry about such things?"

"I'm not talking about you, Oda Saku, you should take advantage of the convenience around you once in a while." Osamu Dazai pouted, feeling as if he was being looked down upon by Oda Sakunosuke. Of course, he knew that Oda Sakunosuke definitely didn't mean that. But don't you plan to ask your friends to help you at this time?Are you still friends?

It was troublesome for Oda Sakunosuke, but not necessarily for them—especially Osamu Dazai.

"Ah, won't it bother you too much?" Oda Sakunosuke asked, "Didn't Dazai already agree to help me resign from the port mafia? If this troubles you..."

"Okay, Odasaku," Sakaguchi Ango interrupted, "This guy has troubled you for so long, and it's time to repay your old father."

"Oh? Ango, what do you mean by that?"

"Isn't it obvious what I said?"

Oda Sakunosuke watched the two talking to each other, and took a sip of the wine in the glass calmly.

Well, it's just normal communication between friends, it's all right.

--------

Dazai Osamu came over with Oda Sakunosuke, saying that when Oda Sakunosuke came to find him, Nakajima Atsushi was packing up.

Usually in the office alone, Atsushi Nakajima doesn't know how to wear a coat, so the black collar around his neck is very conspicuous, and it's not an ordinary choker, after all, such obvious spikes... It looks like So kind of like a collar a dog would wear.

However, neither Dazai Osamu nor Oda Sakunosuke questioned the collar from the two people who saw it.

Oda Sakunosuke is because he has not had much contact with Atsushi Nakajima, and when he was with Atsushi Nakajima, the other party never took off the coat that was zipped up to the highest point, so he didn't know what was on the other party's neck; As for Osamu Dazai, it was much simpler. He simply felt that what Toshi Nakajima wore had nothing to do with him.

Moreover, under normal circumstances, no one would have nothing to do to ask others why you wear what style of jewelry.

"Good afternoon ~ Atsushi-kun~" Dazai Osamu didn't even knock on the door, and directly pushed open the door of Nakajima Atsushi's cadre office, maybe because of the presence of Oda Sakunosuke, he doesn't look so gloomy now.

The most important thing is that both of them are cadres now, so they don't have to maintain some kind of hypocritical etiquette!

"Why are you here?" Atsushi Nakajima, who was packing his things with his back to us, was stunned for a moment, or he was taken aback by the sudden opening of the door that made a loud noise, but it was harmless. He believed that what he asked was absolutely true. shake.

"Dazai..." Oda Sakunosuke looked at Osamu Dazai disapprovingly, indicating that the other party's behavior just now was really rude.

However, Osamu Dazai didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him, that's what he said, but what did he think about the unknown Dazai Osamu in his heart, he still apologized honestly (?): "Yes, I understand, I'm really sorry, just now It was my fault for accidentally kicking the door of Dunjun's office."

Although he said sorry on this mouth, anyone who knows him understands that this guy is the kind who has no repentance at all—and, you know, he is saying sorry to Atsushi Nakajima, facing Oda What happened to Sakunosuke?

"Forget it, don't care about that," Atsushi Nakajima said speechlessly, he didn't expect Osamu Dazai to do anything good, after getting along with Osamu Dazai in the port mafia for so long, doesn't it mean he still doesn't understand what this guy is like? What kind of virtue is it: "Is there something for you to come to me this time?"
