At the moment when the gang struggle in Yokohama was in dire straits and was at its most intense, the port mafia, the center and protagonist of the struggle, its youngest cadre ever skipped work and took his friends to the bar.

"You dropped all your work, are you okay?"

Oda Sakunosuke was sitting next to the bar with Fukuroe in his arms, and raised his hand to greet the bartender, asking him to bring a glass of milk.

Because Oda Sakunosuke and Dazai Osamu frequent here, the bartender is quite familiar with the two, knowing that Oda Sakunosuke is still a single young man.

Now when the bartender saw a small child in Oda Sakunosuke's arms, his eyes were straightened, and his brain obviously took a while to react.

He smiled and nodded, because almost no one was ordering milk at the bar and he didn't have any at hand, so he had to turn around and look for it in the freezer at the back.

"What could be the matter? Several forces are vying to snatch it, and a bunch of idiots are just fighting for air because of a heritage that has never been proven to exist."

Osamu Dazai snorted coldly, obviously didn't believe the rumors about the so-called rich man's inheritance, and showed dissatisfaction with those idiots who died in a muddleheaded manner and made him work overtime: "Anyway, the Hakata mercenary team is really easy to use. The same goes for Mr. Hirotsu."

While the boy was talking, his kite-colored pupils kept falling on Fu Heihui, with a bitter and vengeful expression on his face, as if he wanted this small group of children to disappear into the air.

Many people in the port mafia are afraid of this too young cadre. Even though Osamu Dazai is only 14 years old, in front of him, it is as if he has no secrets.

However, Megumi Fukuro, who was being stared at by Dazai Osamu at this moment, calmly leaned on Oda Sakunosuke's warm and firm chest, sat in his arms, calmly looked at Dazai Osamu with those round eyes , completely unable to accept Osamu Dazai's idea of ​​wanting him to disappear.

After thanking the bartender and taking the milk, Oda Sakunosuke turned his head and saw the picture of the teenager and the child in his arms who were unwilling to give up first, like two stubborn cats look at each other.

Dazai Osamu's kite-colored pupils turned red, because they were extremely dry without blinking for a long time, and he still refused to turn his head away first.

Oda Sakunosuke was amused, he raised his hand to fall on Fukuroe's hair in his arms, and patted gently: "Are you hungry?"

Fu Heihui was placed on the chair next to him from his arms, and a small group of children stretched out their arms like lotus joints, grabbed the milk cup and drank obediently.

Dazai Osamu was blocked by Oda Sakunosuke when he looked at Kei Fukuro, and he started to blink wildly, his eyes were wet and dry.

"So..." Osamu Dazai tried his best to keep his expression intact: "What's the matter with this child?"

He is like a cat arching its back and stretching out its paws vigilantly: "You and Kazama Yardan could not raise it together, right?"

"Not really." Oda Sakunosuke didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, but after concealing the fact that Kazamain Ran came back, he said according to the facts: "This child has been left behind, if you leave it alone, Will starve to death in the trash can."

——Although he felt that Kazamain's evaluation of Dazai-kun was incorrect, he respected Kazamain's choice.If the other party doesn't trust Dazai-kun, then he won't tell Dazai-kun about the matter.

Just like what Kazamain said that day, he is willing to slowly try to give all his trust to Kazamain and live together.

Since he agreed to Kazama Courtyard, he will not miss the appointment.

Osamu Dazai: "...I don't think so, have you considered the orphanage?"

Oda Sakunosuke looked over with disapproving eyes.

Osamu Dazai bulged his cheeks, and said again: "Oda Zuo has so much work, he doesn't have time to take care of this child, right? I know someone who is very good at raising children, do you want to help Oda Zuo send this child to her. "

The young man's tone was a little blunt, and the topic of Fukuroi's several times made Oda Sakunosuke finally realize: "Do you not like this child?"

Oda Sakunosuke smiled: "It was only at this time that I suddenly realized that Dazai-kun is also very young."

Dazai Osamu: "..."

Tsk, does it mean that he is competing with a child for favor?

"But I just noticed that Odasaku kept calling him "Kazamain" instead of calling me Dazai-kun?" The young man didn't hide his displeasure at this time: "Obviously I was the one who knew Odasaku first, why did I get to know him instead?" It looks like that guy is getting closer to Odasaku."

"Ah..." Oda Sakunosuke tried, "Then, Dazai?"

Osamu Dazai immediately responded with a smile.

Then the slender body deliberately fell backwards to let the gaze pass over Oda Sakunosuke, and looked at the child on the other side with a proud and ostentatious look.

Fu Heihui: ...

The little child gulped down a big gulp of milk with a blank expression, ignoring the vaguely provocative eyes of the boy next to him.

Fu Heihui: Although I haven't met many people, I feel that since I was taken away by that silver-haired guy, I always meet strange people.

Until Osamu Dazai was urgently called away by his subordinate's serial phone calls, he turned back to Sakunosuke Oda and continued to suggest: "If Oda Sakuno has no time to raise this kid, you must tell me, I really know someone who is very good at raising children people."

Oda Sakunosuke watched the boy being dragged away by his subordinates with a smile. His companions outside the bar had long known this cadre who always came to him, and they all smiled and waved goodbye without any sign of life.

But the leader of the hired team who came in and waited in the bar did not leave with Osamu Dazai, but stared at Oda Sakunosuke with a frown, as if he was comparing himself with something.

The captain's gaze was too weird, causing Oda Sakunosuke to raise his head and look back vigilantly.

"This gentleman." The captain with a strong body walked steadily, frowning and asked, "Did you also work in the port mafia before?"

Although Oda Sakunosuke was a little strange, he still nodded when he had any questions.

"But I think Mr.'s skills should not be just a low-level member of the port mafia."

The captain said without any euphemism: "Consciously lighten your steps, breathe evenly and long, have a low sense of presence, and put your hands on your side in a posture of drawing/gun at any time. With all due respect, compared to gang members doing chores, Mr. Like a killer."

Oda Sakunosuke's body paused, and then he quietly stretched out his hand to Fukuroi next to him, holding the child behind his arm in a protective posture, and put the other hand casually by his side.There, under the coat, is the gun/pouch that holds the gun.

The captain who has been paying attention to Oda Sakunosuke has a panoramic view of all this. His tiger eyes are serious, but he just said indifferently: "Please rest assured, I am not seeking revenge from the enemy. I am a mercenary from Hakata. Professional ethics is important to us. It is the bottom line. If I really attacked an innocent child, none of our BOSS will let me go, and I will be burned to ashes."

Because it was daytime, Yokohama was in chaos recently, and there was no stranger in the bar except them.

The mercenary captain glanced left and right to make sure that no one was eavesdropping, then he dragged a chair aside and walked over, and sat down not far from Oda Sakunosuke, keeping a safe reaction distance for underground professionals.

——No need for Oda Sakunosuke to give any answer, just judging from his quick reaction and actions to protect the young children, let the captain confirm his identity.

"Time to hear me tell a story about someone else, sir."

The bartender left with a wink.

In the bar, only the two of them and the young child were left.

"There used to be a killer. He was well-known in the underground world for his excellent business. There were many people looking for him. But one day, when he was performing a mission, he suddenly decided to quit, and he wanted to withdraw completely from this circle."

The captain, who is as burly as a mountain, unexpectedly has a good voice for telling stories.

Even Fu Heihui, who was next to him, was holding the milk glass with a hand with a meaty hole, unconsciously attracted, and put on a posture of fascination listening to the story.

"No one knows why, including the killer's employer at the time. He disappeared from this circle, but many former employers wanted to find him and kill him because they were afraid that he would reveal the secret. When there is news about him again , I heard that he went to apply for the Yokohama City Library."

The captain's gaze was fixed on Oda Sakunosuke's face all the time, trying to see what could be seen from the fluctuations in his expression.

"Before I was picked up by my BOSS when I was dying and became a mercenary in [Nameless], I used to be a bounty man with no bottom line. As long as I was paid, I would do anything. So I also heard from people I knew in the past. I told the story of the killer, and I told the story to the boss as a small talk."

"What I didn't expect was that the BOSS, who was always as indifferent as a sculpture, would become interested in the killer's story, and."

The captain was silent for a while, and then continued: "When some former employers of that killer wanted to hunt him down and put a reward on his information, the boss made a move."

"He locked all the information about that killer into [Nameless]'s highest level of authority, revoked all the rewards on that killer in the black market, ordered the black market not to allow anything related to that killer to appear again, and [ In the name of Wuming], he has reached deals with those employers that are not retroactive. Anyone who dares to break the contract will be hunted down."

"When I asked the boss why he helped a guy he didn't know like this, what the boss said at the time was..."

The captain raised his eyes, stared firmly at Oda Sakunosuke's face, and said word by word: "A person in darkness who has the courage to walk towards the sun, the darkness should no longer be entangled with him."

[Day and night naturally have a boundary line. I have long since rotted in the darkness and lost the courage to live a normal life.Therefore, I am not qualified to stand in the daylight. 】

In the dark leader's room, the BOSS's voice was cold: [However, for a brave person who is determined to get rid of the darkness and go to the sun, the darkness has no right to entangle him.He deserves to live in the sun without any haze. 】

……

Oda Sakunosuke was silent for a long time before he asked, "Why did you tell me this story?"

"Because the BOSS is missing."

The mercenary captain said: "After he made an achievement that no one has ever achieved, he disappeared into the night without telling anyone. He concealed his whereabouts, erased all traces that might trace him, and alternately chose aimless means of transportation. , so that even the most experienced reconnaissance experts could not find his whereabouts."

"Others don't know, but I, who told the story of the killer to the boss, are very clear about how the boss has paid attention to the killer for several years."

"So, I took the Yokohama employment mission that didn't belong to me, and ran to the city where the killer once appeared." The captain said in a deep voice: "I always thought that the boss would want to see the person who successfully escaped the underground world with his own eyes. How to live like a normal person."

"Follow that killer, and I will be able to find the boss."

The mercenary captain's voice fell, and he stared at Oda Sakunosuke, as if expecting him to say something.

However, the red-haired young man just said calmly: "After the story is finished, you may need to walk a few steps faster. Dazai found you are not here, so it is time to call you."

……

After the mercenary captain left with nothing, Oda Sakunosuke kept his head down and remained silent.

But the face shrouded in shadows was stern and guarded.

After hearing the conversation disappear, the bartender who came out from behind the curtain looked at Fu Heihui, and asked strangely, "Why does this child have heard the expressions of parents' love?"
