Drowning in a sea of ​​moonlight

Today is the first time I have been on duty since I became Dazai's direct subordinate.

To be honest, it doesn't feel much different from before, but it's just that I no longer need to wear a black suit and sunglasses.

Both Donna and Alexia told me they would miss my look terribly.

I really hope they forget about it.

Dazai walked unsteadily in front, Akutagawa and I followed with a solemn face.

...Speaking of which, this trip is just to be ready to support the Central Plains team that just came back.

Although it was the leader's order, it was also because Dazai's subordinates were the closest, but any team of Dazai's men in black suits could logically complete this task.Why do you need to dispatch him and all his two direct subordinates?

"Ah, it's so annoying, the dwarf has caused me so much trouble since he came back."

Dazai complained loudly, his eyes swept to the right, and after seeing the sparkling river in the sun, he instantly became elated:

"...Yes! If you lose consciousness due to suicide, you will be able to escape from work logically!"

...I don't know if it's because Dazai never showed such a side of himself in front of Akutagawa.

Anyway, when I heard this sentence, I started to take off and open my backpack without any disturbance in my heart, I caught a glimpse of Akutagawa's whole body froze from the corner of my eye.

And then he literally witnessed the whole process of me taking the time to fish Dazai after he got into the water, administering first aid, wringing out the coat, passing mouthwash, hot beer, and then starting to buzz and blow-dry his hair.

Looking at it, there was a look of envy.

"...Ah, if I can think of such tricks earlier."

...what trick?

While I was having doubts, I inexplicably felt that it would be better not to delve into this matter.

...However, just as Dazai was holding hot beer in his hand and fell unconscious on the ground dry, I felt a faint killing intent in the wind.

I picked up the hair dryer and threw it towards the source, and it was broken down in the air and fell to the ground.

Akutagawa woke up suddenly, the hem of the black windbreaker stretched and deformed extremely quickly, and attacked there.

I also drew out the long knife by my side, stood still on the spot, let Akutagawa take the lead, and began to observe the enemy this time.

The training is fairly good, but it is by no means the discipline of a large organization.

It would be extremely difficult for me and Akutagawa to fight against anyone, and the most important thing is that Akutagawa's physical strength will definitely be insufficient.

However, if we go up together, it can be a little stressful, but it can definitely be worked out.

...It was too much of a coincidence anyway.

Usually Dazai is followed by at least two teams of guards wherever he goes, but today he went crazy and dismissed all his subordinates, leaving only me and Akutagawa to follow him.And, after all, he shouldn't have done this mission himself.

And if the group of people we are facing now is an opportunistic operation of a hostile organization, how could there be such detailed and real-time information?

There must be someone who responded internally and spread the information to let them attack at this time.

And this person is either someone who has fully mastered the Mafia monitoring system at the port, or is one of the three people present.

I turned my head to look at Dazai, remembering the inadvertent trembling of his fingertips I saw from the side when I looked at the river to express my emotion before diving into the water.

I think he's too lazy to hide the fact that he's plotting against me.It's completely blatant now.

Generally speaking, he is sending information anonymously or pretending to be an insider, deliberately luring a group of organizations who want to attack the port Mafia to come to us, and then deliberately picking the time when I am busy saving him from falling into the water, and Akutagawa is busy stunned. They attack.

I am afraid that the team that actually went to rescue the Central Plains has already been sent out separately from us.

Like this incident, Akutagawa, it is estimated that they will only think that some unremarkable operation encountered an emergency in the middle and was forced to stop.

However, his boss is so predictable and has already prepared countermeasures, that's the only way to avoid any danger.Only I will feel the shock from the bottom of my heart.

Is this move just to disgust me?Testing the limits of my good temper?

Or, more likely, want to see for myself what it's like to work with Akutagawa?

... Then he might be disappointed. According to my observation, Akutagawa and I have absolutely no compatibility at all.

Like now.

"New here, don't get in the way!"

"Look at yourself before you say this!"

...My fighting style is very similar to his, both rely on speed and agility as their strengths, and both my sword and his cloth blade are of the slashing type.

The only difference is probably that I can match fists and hot weapons at any time, while he can attack from a long distance and in a large area.

And the fighting styles that are too similar have evolved into the current situation where the two of us get in the way of each other.

When I swung the knife, my originally smooth knife skills always became sluggish because I scratched his cloth, and the moves were intermittent.

And when he was attacking, I was always within the range of the attack, and he treated me as if I didn't exist, and hacked indiscriminately.

The most outrageous thing is that just now, at the place where I was going to cut, he also stretched out a strip of cloth, and then saw that the target was robbed, so he turned his head and stabbed me with vengeance.

...too much effort!It's better than me alone!

I couldn't bear it for a long time. At the beginning, I was thinking about whether I should just knock him out with a knife and solve it by myself. The battle has been decided.

I retracted the knife regretfully, and let Akutagawa repel the next enemy. When I turned around, I found that Dazai had woken up at some time. Putting it on my knee, the other hand knocked on the ground one after another, looking at me with a smile.

"...Ah, it's over? Are you having fun, kids? However, your cooperation is really incredible.

Although I already thought that it might not be particularly good-looking, but it has reached this level, and I don't even want to comment. "

... "Did you have a good time?" I'm afraid I should ask you.

But I saw a faint smile on his face and watery eyes, as if he was really happy to see me lively, so I still said: "... I am very sorry for disappointing you. "

He stopped laughing for a moment, curled his lips, and said, "...Maybe it's a wrong decision to let the kid stay with Akutagawa-kun, and it will become even more boring."

Akutagawa, who was walking with the leader who was seriously injured and unconscious, heard this, his pupils trembled, and his eyes were extremely depressed: "...I am very sorry, Mr. Dazai... I am so boring."

Dazai waved his hands expressionlessly, stopping his long-winded self-blame: "Okay. I give up. You don't have to worry about not completing the mission. I expected these people to come, and Chuya sent another team over there. .

They definitely don't need any more support there, we'll take a walk around there, see the dwarves' jokes, and call it a day. "

When he arrived at the place, he heard Zhong Yuan's roar from a distance: "...Bastard Dazai, I asked you to send some people, and you sent just a few?"

Dazai happily shouted from the air: "This is enough, Chu also still don't believe in my judgment~? Or, you have evolved to realize your own stupidity, and you have absolutely nothing to do without relying on me. A slug who has learned to feel inferior to the fact that it can’t be done~?”

"...Kill you, sooner or later you will be killed." Zhongyuan cursed furiously, even in the sound of gunfire, because of the killing intent in it, it was very clear.

Although I can't let him achieve this goal, I do understand his mood to some extent.

Dazai smiled and mouthed "I'll wait" towards him.Then, as if he just remembered that Akutagawa and I were beside him, he waved his hands casually: "Go ahead, help them fight for a while. Anyway, it will be over soon."

Indeed, the opposite side has completely shown its decline now.

At this moment, I suddenly saw a nearby man in a black suit dodging the enemy's bullets very embarrassingly, using his back to protect his injured colleague and walking forward with difficulty.

But in the next second, he was hit by a bullet in the calf, and at the same time his body staggered forward, a grenade flew from nowhere, and the landing point was exactly where he was.

The roar of Zhongyuan, who was too far away to support, echoed in his ears, and the specific content could no longer be heard clearly.

Because my mind was blank at that moment, and I rushed out when I realized it. I picked up the grenade with a knife and watched it fly out with my excessive force in an instant, drawing a perfect parabola and falling to the side of the soil. After the slope, explode.

In the aftermath of the explosion, I saw Akutagawa's expressionless face with the suspicion of looking at a fool. I saw Dazai leaning aside and rolled his eyes forcefully. The eyes that people dare not look directly at.

...Although in principle I have been promoted to the position next to Dazai, it should be stopped, and I should not further attract the attention of Port Mafia, and the life of the Mafia has nothing to do with me.

But seeing this behavior of sacrificing for my companions, I was very moved at once, and then I shot unconsciously.

I put away the knife awkwardly, and heard the sighs of Donna and Alysia who just went online in my mind, and I especially hoped that the three present could act as if nothing had happened just now.

The author has something to say:

Well, after Zhong Ye maxed out his goodwill now, in turn, he also maxed out his goodwill now.

Akutagawa and Dazai didn't save him because the man's hamstring was pierced and he was useless to the Mafia.

Even if they belong to the Mafia, strangers are not considered companions in Akutagawa's eyes, and they are not necessarily objects of protection.

And they weren't close enough either.At this stage, Akutagawa's ability is still relatively weak. Even if he wraps the grenade with a cloth blade, it may not be able to prevent the impact of the explosion.

Dazai rolled his eyes because he realized that the friendship between the two bad guys was about to begin.

He can only hope that the little friend will not be assimilated by the dwarves.

I don’t know if you have noticed, but the address for Dazai has changed from “you” to “you” today.

The next five consecutive chapters are high-energy warnings.

Not the high energy of the previous knife, but the high energy of the sugar content (with a smile on his face)
