Drowning in a sea of ​​moonlight

In the season when cherry blossoms are blooming all over the streets, when walking on the road, new petals will flutter down at every step, falling on the top of the head, the tip of the nose, and the dust under the feet, like an elf blown into the world by the wind, chaotic everywhere Flying, just for the smile from the heart of those who are caught by them when they fall on them.

——This is really only when you get a new life, when you know the truth of the "tiger" that has been entangled with you, and when you confirm that you really have the possibility of "survival", you can appreciate it the scenery.

Even if everything is so strange, it makes me feel out of place.

However, everything in the world outside the orphanage is so good.

I didn't really let my hands be stained with darkness, and then I met the senior who led me to a new path.

Although unreliable, Mr. Dazai rescued himself.Mr. Kunikida, who is strict but sticks to principles.There are also future colleagues and partners that he has not yet met in the future.

Maybe it's because there's not much to pursue.

Obviously the future is still an invisible fog, and the scene on the street should be commonplace, but at this moment, I am really happy.

Atsushi Nakajima looked at a petal slowly falling to his side, and wanted to reach out to catch it.

But hit a person.

"Wow, I'm so sorry, I didn't take a good look at the way—"

Do something wrong.

I will be scolded soon.To be beaten.going to be locked up--

Such thoughts flashed uncontrollably in my mind, and I subconsciously stepped back and bowed ninety degrees to apologize, but I heard an unusually gentle voice of inquiry.

"Are you okay?"

——Low, like a vibrating cello, but with a strong metallic texture.

It is the kind of voice that even in a noisy environment, once it sounds, it will be like a vacuum is drawn in an instant, making people around you involuntarily look over here, wanting to know who is speaking.

Dun looked up, and saw a pair of smiling eyes, brighter than the warm autumn sun.

The man in the black windbreaker smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's because I was distracted. Are you okay?"

"Ah, I'm fine, don't worry about it!"

Atsushi felt that his brain was blanked by that smile for a moment, and he said this dully, but was awakened from this state by the hesitant shout of Mr. Tanizaki in front ("Atsushi-kun—where are you?").

So he replied, "Here we are!", and said in a panic, "Then I'll go first, sorry for wasting your time," and trotted to catch up with the three people in front.

The young man who bumped into others recklessly before was named Atsushi, and he was a member of the Armed Detective Agency recently.

I grew up in an orphanage, so I am very grateful for all the new things in my life, and I don’t know much about the armed organization I joined and the chaos in this city, and I feel sentimental because of cherry blossom viewing Feelings.

We are currently in a state of occasional bouts of optimism amid ongoing unease about the future.

The young man in front of him who was clingy and entangled with his (self-proclaimed) sister was named Tanizaki. He was also a member of the Armed Detective Agency with his sister Naomi, and now he was working with Atsushi in order to solve a commission.

The career woman leading the way is Higuchi, the client of the detective agency.

Due to Dazai, a member of the Armed Detective Agency, coffee was spilled on his suit this morning, ("Ah, I'm sorry, miss! Oh, I was so fascinated by your demeanor that I didn't know where I was for a while , and please forgive my faux pas!

If you don't mind, I'll go and choose a dress to suit you right now—you're welcome, it's my pleasure to serve such a beautiful lady as you! ”) but still maintained a gentle and calm attitude, accepted the shirts the former rushed downstairs to buy, and listened to the other party’s sweet words without further asking for compensation. His quality is admirable.

So now, the young man who is the main character, Tun, fears the most, has changed from "whether the guests will be angry" to the possibility of encountering the "port mafia" in this mission.

A **** who does all kinds of evil.The vicious lackey under his command, a powerful supernatural being named "Akutagawa".

On this journey, it is very likely that you will encounter these desperadoes——

--"Arrived."

Taking off the backpack on his body, Higuchi said so.

The alley with three walls, a standard dead end, only the wind from the street behind, blowing empty on people's hearts, blowing a faint chill.

Dun looked around, swallowed, and just wanted to say something to ease the anxiety in his heart.

But Tanizaki had already asked in doubt: "...Miss Higuchi? You said criminals would appear here, but they should have prepared escape routes, but here they are."

"very true."

Higuchi said quietly, combed his hair, turned around and smiled.

"But this is normal. After all——my purpose is you."

She said into the communicator next to her ear.

"Everything is ready as planned, Akutagawa-senpai."

Dun straightened his body and was ready to run backward at any time, but he was terrified to see that she took out the gleaming metal weapon, aimed it here, put her finger on the trigger, and pressed it hard——

After a deafening gunshot.

In the dead silence.

The expected pain did not come, Dun carefully opened his eyes a slit, but couldn't help but widen them.

a few centimeters away.

The rain-like bullets hovered in the air, and then fell to the ground in the next second.

——Like a miracle.

Dun murmured, "...Mr. Tanizaki, this is your ability...?"

Amazing......

"no."

Tanizaki said blankly.

Higuchi on the opposite side was also obviously shocked by this development, and whispered: "...how come, the Central Plains cadre?...No, and there is no red light."

"What are you doing?"

A voice condensed like ice came, as if a man-eating ghost was standing behind him, causing the temperature around him to drop suddenly.

The owner of the voice coughed a few times and ordered in a flat tone.

"Go back. Your mission is over. From now on, I will judge the situation and make a decision."

"But, at least let me do something for you, Akutagawa-senpai—"

A black figure slowly emerged from the shadows, and behind it, the ferocious black giant opened its minions inch by inch.

"You're only getting in the way here. Don't make me say it a second time."

The person named Akutagawa said so, and walked forward slowly, countless sharp knives with cold light rose around him, aiming at the three people in front of him like a glutton with its bloody mouth wide open.

"The people behind the scenes who have never shown up. Only the 'Human Tiger', the port mafia is bound to win today. If you offend me, please forgive me—"

Then, those sharp blades stretched into dense black spider webs in an instant, attacking overwhelmingly with a killing intent that seemed to be able to cut their cheeks.

Pupils constricted suddenly, and Atsushi subconsciously took a step forward, protecting the Tanizaki brothers and sisters behind him.

But the cloth blade froze there, struggling desperately in the air, but couldn't make any progress.

"......what?"

Akutagawa looked in disbelief at the cloth blade that seemed to be out of his control in the air.

Then he twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a ferocious smile, his eyes ignited with flames of fighting spirit that seemed to be able to devour people's souls.

"...unprecedented. Interesting. Come again...!"

Just now.

"Swish."

Suddenly a gust of wind blew up.

The air currents brought the fine petals dancing in the sky, and in the alley that was empty just now, the sweet fragrance enveloped the face like a cloud of mist, and the vision was overwhelmed by a cloud of powder.

In the rain of petals, a somewhat familiar voice sounded.

"...Let's stop here. You can't touch them with me, so you can go back from work, Akutagawa-kun."

Dun raised his head and saw the figure standing in front of them.

The man turned his head, smiled slightly, and his side face was like a knife's edge: "Meet you again. Are you okay?"

Dun opened his mouth, but couldn't think of anything to say.

On the opposite side, Higuchi looked wary, while Akutagawa stared at him, his face was pale, and his black pupils seemed to be trembling faintly.

He said, "...impossible...impossible...you are...!"

Under too many shocks, Dun felt that his brain had begun to go haywire, and among countless very critical questions, only this one crossed his mind.

Did they know each other before? ...?

"...You probably have the wrong person."

The person in front of them turned their backs to the two members of the Port Mafia, and said without expression.

Then he stretched out his hands to help himself—Dun realized that when he breathed a sigh of relief, his legs and feet went weak unconsciously, and he sat on the ground—

Said: "Can you still stand up? Let me introduce myself, my name is Ludwig, and I am a family member of the detective agency you belong to. In order to rush to the detective agency earlier, I didn't stop to introduce myself."

"Ah, I, hello, my name is Atsushi Nakajima."

With his brain shut down, Don grabbed his white-gloved hand and replied instinctively.

"Then, um, what do you mean by family members...?"

Ludwig smiled a little mysteriously, and was about to say something at this moment.

A completely unexpected voice sounded, jumping around, but soft like a baby, reminiscent of a child holding candy in his hand, or a cat wagging its tail at someone.

"I'm still wondering why I haven't arrived yet, so I came to save someone, this kind gentleman—"

There was a touch of sand in his sight—Dun thought vaguely, he had never seen that man run so fast before——

Then the hem of the clothes brought a gust of soft wind across his cheeks, and the running man threw himself into Ludwig's arms.

Ludwig lifted his body, laughed and hugged him around in the air, and then kissed him on the cheek.

When their eyes meet, there is undiluted, pure happiness in their eyes.

"I miss you."

"That's great, gaining weight."

Two people said at the same time.

Then Atsushi watched his savior, Mr. Dazai, put his legs around another man's waist and his hands around his neck, showing an unprecedentedly brilliant, but also unprecedentedly terrifying smile.

"...What, the wind was too strong just now, I didn't hear clearly?"

The author has something to say:

Ha ha ha too many elements.jpg

Members of the Butei Port Mafia Moonlight Club initially gathered together

Then the cold dog food was slapped on the face

Today: skinned, butchered: Maomao gets angry.jpg

(But in fact, I didn't really get angry, it was just flirting)

Write about the part where Zai rushed over, "a soft wind blows by", did you feel the warmth and soft jade in your arms hehehe

The front and Higuchi have also turned into accidentally spilling coffee, and will no longer invite to die in love.Then there are many opportunities to move when helping to wipe the coffee hahaha

(Although my classmates will still be jealous after listening to Dun Dun's recitation of what he said to Higuchi hhhh)

(Although it’s because I haven’t seen him for a long time, there are some reasons why I’m so clingy and frank. I’ll reveal it in the next chapter~)

The cherry blossoms in Zai’s eyes before now are all clouds

In the eyes of the lovely Dun children, the petals are elves hahaha (full of childlike fun)

I met the Tanizaki brothers and sisters here during the intermission~ Then I didn’t let Akutagawa hit Higuchi, but let him urge her back (the role of the senior). Second, I don't want Miss Higuchi to be beaten

The collision of ideas with Akutagawa in Atsushi’s original work will be postponed. Here I use his determination to protect his companions to reflect the subconsciousness of blocking bullets for the Tanizaki brothers and sisters. (Angel.)

At the current stage, in the perception of everyone in Yokohama, the only ones who can stop bullets in the air are Nakaya and Imam hahhh

The shower of petals that he played today is actually similar to the one he had in Tokyo in his memories. Here, he deliberately blurred the vision of others so that they would not see that he flew over.Is there a lot of noodles? (Dog head)

As for the voice...it is the kind of super magnetic voice that makes people tremble involuntarily when talking in the ear. When I was young, it was a relatively cold and juvenile voice. As I grow older, it becomes more and more sullen (dog head)

In the next chapter, the suffocating confrontation with Akutagawa, and then returning to the detective agency, and then waiting in the detective agency for what will happen today, so stay tuned——
