What happened on the train was just an insignificant episode, for all three of them.

"Mr. Dazai, where are we going..."

Walking out of the train station, Osamu Dazai was naturally the leader, and Atsushi Nakajima consciously took a step behind and shouldered the responsibility of carrying the bag.

This mission is weird, Kunikida-san said it was not suitable for him to know, Ranpo-san said he knew it after he went, and then Dazai-san said——

'Probably to save the world. ' he said, crossing his legs on the desk.

Atsushi Nakajima recalled the man's cynical demeanor and wanted to slap him into the wall.

No, no, how can I think of Mr. Dazai like that!

Realizing what he was thinking, Atsushi Nakajima was startled.Not to mention that he can't beat Mr. Dazai, just because Mr. Dazai is the senior who led him into the Armed Detective Agency, he can't...

"..." So I was really thinking about how to hit Mr. Dazai!

Tuanzi jumped out of the bag, dodged Atsushi Nakajima's wanton hand without a doubt, jumped on his head, and at the same time let out a suspicious sound, "Chirp."

It also doesn't know the destination of Atsushi Nakajima, but it knows - follow him, you can find your own goal.

Osamu Dazai reassured, "Don't worry, we'll be there in a while."

He took out his mobile phone, looked down a few times, and waved his hand, "Yoxi, let's go this way!"

The destination that took two hours to reach was unexpected.

It's not shabby, it can only be said to be a place that is half new and not old.

Atsushi Nakajima couldn't help trembling when he saw it, his pupils constricted until they shrunk into a slightly rounded diamond shape, "Orphanage..."

Tuanzi understood.

Osamu Dazai patted the young man on the shoulder and encouraged him, "The client of this task is the director of the orphanage. Alright, let him explain the task to you. Come on, Birdman Group!"

Atsushi Nakajima: ...

Tuanzi: ...

Tuanzi gave Osamu Dazai a sharp look.

Osamu Dazai ducked and gave it a 'wink' back.

There has never been a time like this when Atsushi Nakajima felt that he needed crutches too.The legs don't seem to be his own.He didn't want to go, but Dazai-san was pushing him forward again.Even like a vicious dog, blocking his escape route behind him.

"But……"

Atsushi Nakajima swallowed.

This time it wasn't Osamu Dazai, but Danko urged him, "Chirp."

No but.

Hurry up.

Dazai Osamu said with a smile: "This is the next commission from the Armed Detective Agency~ Atsushi, it's up to you whether Butei can maintain the record of victory!"

Atsushi Nakajima hangs down his white tiger tail: TVT

In the end he reluctantly walked in.

Even though the dean's prestige is still in the impression, he is no longer the same as before!Now he has powerful supernatural powers, has experienced many actual battles, and has a group of companions who trust him so much...

but,

It's still so scary...!

Atsushi Nakajima pushed open the gate of the orphanage, everything in his memory was still so familiar, he thought he had forgotten it, but he had only left there for a short period of time, how could he forget it?

The big tiger hugged into a ball five meters away from the gate, trembling.

The sparrow couldn't bear to look straight at it and raised its wings to cover its eyes.

Tuanzi: I can't see it.

Suddenly, a voice that couldn't be more profound came from in front of him, "...Dun, you're back."

Atsushi Nakajima shuddered.

"Dean..."

When he opened his mouth, he realized that his voice was already hoarse.

···

In the lobby, they sat and talked in the place where they usually welcome guests.

"You... how are you doing?" The dean was silent for a long time before finding a topic.

Atsushi Nakajima lowered his eyes.

This is not only a lobby for welcoming guests, but also a place for orphans to eat.He remembered that he often played here when he was a child...but he never saw it again.

All kinds of questions in the past came to his mouth and were swallowed by him. In the end, the resentment, bitterness, pain, and the initial admiration and dependence all turned into a plain sentence, "It's okay."

Seeing the cups on the table, Atsushi Nakajima remembered, "Yamada and the others—how are they?"

In the orphanage, besides him, there were a few other children who lived with him. When he was locked up before, it was only because of the food they brought from time to time that he didn't starve to death.

"They all went to school, and some kind-hearted people provided them with tuition fees." The dean said, "That sparrow is your pet, right?"

Atsushi Nakajima: "It doesn't count, I followed him."

"That's good too."

"……Um."

It was the first time for the two to sit in the same place and talk calmly as equals.It was also the first time that Atsushi Nakajima realized that he was already taller than the dean, and the man he used to look up at now only needed to look down.

Instead, it was the man who was being cautious.

Atsushi Nakajima thought, he really doesn't have to be afraid of him anymore.

"Dean, what is my mission...?"

"Ah," the dean hesitated, "Then let's clean the orphanage again."

"it is good."

Nakajima Atsushi simply stood up and walked out.

The young man in his prime is full of vigor, and his thin body has been strengthened a lot under Butei's care.Compared with the shrinking and timidity when he first escaped from the orphanage, Atsushi Nakajima is more confident and calm now.

The dean stared at his back in a daze.

Wu Jing was right, he was the one who delayed him.

Outside the lobby, Atsushi Nakajima still remembered where the broom was placed, and he put the dumpling on the windowsill beside him, "You stay here first, I'll come back to pick you up after cleaning."

Tuanzi thought for a while, then picked up the rag hanging on the window sill.

"Chirp." I can try my best to help you wipe some places, so that the two of you can work faster.

Just do what you say, Tuanzi is a highly mobile bird after all, before Atsushi Nakajima had time to stop it, Tuanzi had already found the water pipe and wet the rag.

In this way, where Atsushi Nakajima swept once, the dumpling would just step on the rag and slide over, without even needing a mop!

Fortunately, the floor tiles are paved indoors to play. If you want to replace it with an outdoor stone slab, it will not be able to slip.

Atsushi Nakajima devoted himself to cleaning. For him, he didn't need to think about the meaning of the dean's effort to entrust Butei but only needed him to be a cleaner once.

Perhaps from the time he saw the dean, his thinking had already condensed into a ball of paste.

Tuanzi has two purposes at once. In addition to serving as a small mopping machine, it also has to be distracted to find something it can't forget...

The size of the orphanage is small, and minus the size of the wasteland, the remaining buildings occupy even less land.After cleaning the first floor, Atsushi Nakajima led the group to the second floor.

Tuanzi noticed that there was also a basement in the orphanage, but since Nakajima Atsushi didn't have this idea, it wouldn't remind him—isn't this adding more work to himself out of thin air?

The second floor is basically the room where the children in the orphanage live.It can be seen that although the bedding is worn out and has been repaired many times, it is probably enough to keep warm.Daily necessities are also readily available.

Tuanzi raised his rating of the dean a little bit in his heart.

It seems that the relationship with the little tiger is stiff, but I didn't expect people to be able to do it.

Walking through the dormitory, there is a large room at the end.

At the same time here, it can no longer feel the breath of that thing.

The group's eyes darkened.

From the moment it got close to the orphanage, it discovered the ubiquitous aura of intimacy around it. This pervasive feeling was even more nauseating to the bird's stomach than the stench emitted by walking fish.

And it was in this dense garbage dump that suddenly burst out of fresh air, and no matter how you looked at it, the words 'something wrong' were written all over his body.

"...This is the study room." Atsushi Nakajima took a deep breath and pushed open the door.

The group followed suit.

There are more books in the study than it imagined.Three large bookshelves are placed against the wall, and all kinds of reading materials are neatly stuffed on them.

Atsushi Nakajima glanced over the pages of several books he had read as a child.

It was from there that he learned about the outside world.

Atsushi Nakajima no longer looked at them, he picked up the mask and gloves, "Let's get started."

"Chirp."

The dean appeared at the door of the study at some time, as if he was waiting for something.One person and one bird inside ignored his existence intentionally or unintentionally.

When another book was taken out, the envelope between the two books fell off.

Atsushi Nakajima subconsciously caught the envelope.

Tuanzi looked up and saw the words 'Atsushi Nakajima' written on the envelope.And the sender's signature is obviously the dean.

The sparrow tilted its head.

It glanced at the dean at the door, and then at the young man who opened the envelope.

Communicating face to face through letters, human beings... are they such strange creatures?

Tuanzi sighed pretendingly, shook his head and walked a few steps aside.

Be respectful of others**.

Soon, Atsushi Nakajima stuffed the letter back and folded the envelope intact.He didn't need to be reminded, he just walked out.

The content of the letter was unknown to the dumpling, but seeing Atsushi Nakajima walking downstairs past the dean, it followed suit.

The dean was last.

After reading the letter, Atsushi Nakajima's complexion was even weirder than before, as if he was struggling like a bitter person who drank a dark drink and wanted to vomit but dared not vomit.

Tuanzi thought casually.

Next, it saw Atsushi Nakajima find envelopes one after another that had been hidden in various unimaginable places.

Atsushi Nakajima kept all the letters in his pocket, and more and more letters made his pockets bulge.

The group was dumbfounded.

It couldn't help but glanced at the dean again, so you are such a human being!

The envelopes are like beads on a string, one guides the next, and every time you read one, the strange expression on Atsushi Nakajima's face will always increase.

Going around, the last letter actually led them to the study where they found the first letter.

It's just that compared to when they left, there was an extra bouquet of flowers on the desk.

Malan, yellow rose, pansy...

Atsushi Nakajima walked over silently and picked up the small card on the bouquet.

'You're grown up, Don. '
