Human tiger means that the tiger's needle does not poke

"Dun Jun, you have to know that this mission is very different. First of all, we haven't figured out what the [Tokyo Red Flower Incident] is. None of them are clear. In the end, we don’t know who the detective agency has been targeting recently. Generally speaking..."

Osamu Dazai held his windbreaker pockets in both hands, and very rarely helped Atsushi Nakajima with his backpack, and in the middle of speaking, he looked a bit embarrassed.

"Overall, we were targeted."

Kunikida Doppo, who was seeing off Atsushi Nakajima, took Dazai Osamu's words, pushed his glasses, and straightened his tie for Atsushi Nakajima.The white moonlight shone on the three of them, and it was a peaceful picture.

Atsushi Nakajima could feel the faint sadness of this night, the sadness of parting.Unconsciously, he focused his eyes on the two people in front of him. For some reason, the other figures of the detective agency who were not in place also appeared in front of him in an instant.

Although there was no grand farewell, although there was only a wordless goodbye, he could still feel the warm feelings floating in the air.This is the direction of home, his eternal home, and this is only a temporary separation.

"Mr. Dazai, I know that what I did before may not be very good, but this time I..."

"Why did Dun Jun give me the feeling of Akutagawa? Don't always tell me that you agree or disagree, isn't it embarrassing me? You know, only you can judge whether you agree or not."

Mr. Dazai in Atsushi Nakajima's impression has never talked to him like this, and he rarely comforts him seriously.The choked words clogged his throat, and the boy gently rubbed his eyes with his leather-gloved fingers in order to prevent the wet tears from falling out of his eyes.

The night wind blowing from Yokohama Port blew away the slanted bangs. The kid in Nakajima hugged his backpack full of his arms, but found it a bit heavy.

Even though the time for the train was approaching, he couldn't help asking, "Did Mr. Dazai put something valuable in it for me?"

Osamu Dazai pinched his chin, wanting to speak frivolously as usual, but Kunikida Doppo pressed him down.

Atsushi Nakajima: As expected of Mr. Kunikida (shaking)

Kunikida Doppo: Dazai shut up!

"Anyway, Dazai will definitely say, install a bomb on you that will curse you if he doesn't find a way to kill himself, and it will affect you instead. Don't stop this guy from talking nonsense."

Seeing his partner dislike him so much, Osamu Dazai groaned a few times in grievance, which made Kunikida Doppo's face even darker.The ashamed Dunjun somehow acted as a peacemaker for the two of them, caught in a dilemma between them.

"Little Tiger~ Your train is about to be delayed——"

The nine-headed dragon who suddenly appeared at the ticket gate in front of him was trumpet-shaped with his hands, and even in a crowded crowd, he transmitted his voice clearly to the three of them.

This was so good that Atsushi Nakajima's belt stood up in fright.

"Oh, sure enough Dun-kun is still close to Nine-headed-kun—"

"It's a nine-headed dragon, not a dragon greedy~"

Nine-headed Dragon corrected Osamu Dazai with a funny face, as if looking at a child.Dazai looked at him indifferently.

"Goodbye, everyone!"

A vague voice came through the glass window of the train, and the boy waved his hands vigorously, saying goodbye to the three people outside.Although Atsushi Nakajima is still a bit regretful that he was not able to get more people to see him off this time, but this is enough for him.

"Little Dazai didn't cause trouble for the little tiger's mission, did he?"

"Well...it's hard to say--"

Osamu Dazai, who tilted his head and smiled, narrowed his beautiful eyes. Although he was saying goodbye to Atsushi Nakajima on the train, his eyes were all focused on Kuzuryuyu.The kite-colored pupils revealed the image of Atsushi Nakajima being tapped on the forehead by the nine-headed dragon.

"Dazai, is it true that you said hello to the Knotweed family?"

Kunikida Doppo asked him while watching the train going away, and it turned out that Osamu Dazai laughed for no apparent reason.Originally, Osamu Dazai was waiting to continue playing with Kunikida's "mother" on a daily basis, but what he didn't expect to see when he turned his head was someone with constricted pupils.

"Kunikida, what did you see?"

His lips trembled in disbelief, Kunikida Doppo, who was always calm, even took off his glasses, and the words stuck in his throat became shattered due to the visual impact.

Nine-headed dragon greedily raised its eyelids, dangerously recalling the scene in its trance just now: an ugly blackened monster lying on the roof of a moving train, a fish-like sharp-toothed monster spitting out smelly and rotten green mud, pressing The body on the carriage was covered with bleeding eyes.

Then, it laughed.And suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight.

"The fish... disappeared... no, maybe I'm too tired."

Kunikida Doppo took a deep breath, put on his glasses again, unexpectedly he didn't see the scene just now.

It seems that the sky is too dark and tired after a busy day.

"Then let's go back."

Osamu Dazai heard the weight of the nine-headed dragon greedy in the seemingly unintentional indifference, and the train that had already departed drove the wind, blowing away his smooth brown hair.The man in beige listened to the dissuasion, suppressed his doubts, and walked behind the other two.

The train carrying Atsushi Nakajima to Miyagi Prefecture, Tokyo is still running. The night is not very bright, and there are very few passengers on the train.Nakajima Atsushi was sitting by the window, holding a photo of Knotweed Yuren in his hand.

The wind was blowing for no reason, and the wind was poured in through the gaps in the window glass. As a result, the photos that were not held firmly were sucked by the wind on the not-so-clean car windows.

He was relieved that the photo didn't fly away, and when he took the photo, he accidentally met a pair of bleeding eyes.

Outside the car window, it seemed that someone was smirking at him.

The author has something to say:

Congratulations, congratulations, dun dun set off!

But... what's coming...

Atsushi Nakajima: (Frightened into a world-famous painting) I seem to see something outside the car window? !

Nine-headed Dragon Greed: (raising eyebrows) Listen to me, little tiger, I saw it too, but I think you are completely fine——

Knotaba Yuhito: Listen to me, Nakajima-san, just one punch, this (curse) can be beaten away by you (come on)

Atsushi Nakajima: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
