Holy patriarchal tool man

"...Tsk, I said you, why are you so surprised?" Naka also glanced at the shocked Hiiragi Eiji angrily, "Didn't I just tell you last night?"

And at this moment, Hiiragi Eiji keenly noticed that Dazai Osamu's hand that was frozen in mid-air was slowly falling down, and he himself took a step back subconsciously.

For some reason, Eiji Hiiragi's intuition as a father made him realize that he must not let Osamu Dazai's hand fall like that.

When Eiji Hiiragi reached out to grab Dazai Osamu according to the will of his body, he suddenly felt a violent tremor from the ground, and then, with a loud "boom", the ground under Dazai Osamu's feet cracked.

Almost in the blink of an eye, his crack collapsed into a huge pothole, like a giant beast that was about to swallow Osamu Dazai in one bite.

Hiiragi Eiji didn't even think about it, and immediately rushed forward, and Zhongya was really stunned by this sudden change for half a second, but when he realized it, he rushed towards the direction of the two of them.

Hiirai Eiji reacted very quickly, and switched positions with him almost the moment he caught Osamu Dazai, so when he rushed over with his supernatural powers and wanted to catch Hiiragi Eiji, he threw his backhand into his hand Stuffed a bandage.

Zhong Ye: "..."

Chuya still had a shocked expression on his face, and in the next second, all the red light around him dissipated, and at the very moment, he jumped over Dazai Osamu and grabbed Hiiragi Eiji.

He knew that this guy definitely wouldn't ignore Dazai, but because the situation was too urgent, he didn't even have time to throw Dazai out, and the three of them fell down together.

Ten seconds later, Hiiragi Eiji struggled to get up from the ground. When he fell, he realized that Chuya was intending to use him and Osamu Dazai as a meat shield. Fortunately, he reacted quickly so that he and Osamu Dazai did not fall on each other. on Zhong Ye.

And now, the wrist of his left hand is still being tightly grasped by Chuya.

"...Chuya, are you alright?"

But taking care of Chuya, Osamu Dazai accidentally bumped into a certain rock on the way down, and unfortunately fell into a coma again. Fortunately, Hiiragi was under him when he landed, so Osamu Dazai didn't suffer much. Injured, and because of this, he held Dazai Osamu's left hand tightly.

Hiiragi Eiji took a deep breath, he was disqualified again!He is not a good father!

They seemed to have fallen into a pile of rubble. After getting used to it for a while, Eiji Hiiragi could gradually see the surrounding environment clearly.The underground was actually empty, and they didn't know what it was for. They were lucky and were not injured by the gravel.

"Of course it's okay, how could something happen at this height." In the darkness, Chuya's muffled voice came, and he was on the left hand side of Hiiragi Eiji, "What about you?"

Eiji Hiiragi moved his body and made a general assessment. Although he does not possess ninjutsu without the cheat, his physical fitness is very strong, so at such a height, he only felt that there were many contusions on his body. Other than that it's not a big deal.

Speaking of this, Chuya suddenly thought of a guy who was in a coma. He never expected that with Eiji as a human shield for him, this guy could fall into a coma, so he became even more angry, "Where is Aoi Mackerel? dead?"

Zhong also made no secret of the contrast in his attitude towards the two.

Hiiragi Eiji laughed: "He just passed out, wait until he goes up and send him back to the hospital."

Zhong also responded, and then fell silent.

Hiiragi Eiji didn't urge him, although this place is some distance from the ground, but for Chuya who has the ability of gravity, it doesn't pose any problem at all.

...It would be more outrageous to say that he would fall with himself and Osamu Dazai.

In the darkness, Hiiragi Eiji stared straight ahead with no focus.

He was thinking about what happened just now, thinking about the invitation Chuya sent to him before he fell down.

Chuya didn't let go of his wrist at this time, and he didn't let go of Dazai Osamu's wrist.

...What kind of strange combination is this?

After struggling for a moment, Eiji Hiiragi still asked softly: "Chuya, are you serious about what you said just now?"

After a long silence, Chuya finally said, "...why would I make fun of this kind of thing?"

Hiiragi Eiji didn't speak anymore.

... He just faintly felt a sense of familiarity from Zhongya's intentions.Once upon a time, Sasuke seemed to have extended an invitation to him for similar reasons.

And the reason for this is--

He wants to be friends with himself.

Hiiragi Eiji had an epiphany on the spot.

Zhong also seems to be not obsessed with wanting to be his subordinate, but wanting to be his friend.

The blessed Hiiragi Eiji said solemnly, "I'm sorry, Chuya."

Zhong on the side didn't respond, but the strength of holding his wrist began to become lighter.Chu also didn't realize that Hiiragi Eiji had changed his address, he only knew that he was rejected.

"I can't be your subordinate. I have some personal reasons, and I must stay by Dazai-sama's side."

The force became lighter, and seeing that Naka was about to let go, Hiiragi Eiji held Nakaya's silk gloved hand with his backhand, "However, I would rather be your friend than your subordinate."

Nakaya was almost taken aback by the sudden turn of the plot, he turned his head to look at Hiiragi Eiji in disbelief.

"Don't be sad, okay?" Eiji Hiiragi shook Chuya's hand lightly.

After rubbing against the ground, Chuuya jumped up from the ground. In the darkness, Hiiragi Eiji couldn't discern the expression on his face, but he found that Chuuya's breathing suddenly became short of breath, "I, I'm going to clean this place, get ready Go up!" Zhongya said in a rough voice, and after finishing speaking, he strode forward.

After walking about five or six meters forward, he said softly: "...I see."

Osamu Dazai woke up from the familiar hospital bed again.

There is no need for him to do anything else, someone has already walked to the bedside, "How do you feel? Is there any discomfort?"

...Sure enough, it was Eiji Uzumaki.

Dazai wanted to close his eyes again.

He has been faintly aware of it.Whenever he wants to defy Hiiragi Eiji's will, bad luck will always befall him in strange ways.

"Don't sleep anymore, you've slept enough, get up and eat." Hiiragi Eiji's cold voice stopped Osamu Dazai from moving.

When he saw that the other party really started to play with the lunch box, Osamu Dazai sighed softly.

Hiiragi Eiji naturally heard this sigh, and his eyelids twitched wildly.

Here we go, here we go again.Eiji Hiiragi thought to himself, his big brother was doing something to detect the radar, and it rang again.

Sure enough, he heard Osamu Dazai whisper beside him: "...Why did you save me at that time? Do you like the fun of saving others?" This sentence is really not very friendly, although there is a little smile , but it is not difficult to feel the familiar irony.

Hiiragi Eiji has been completely honed, he doesn't feel annoyed at all, but concentrates on doing his own thing.

He arranged the lunch boxes neatly one by one, and stuffed a spoon into Dazai Osamu's hand, and then casually replied: "I just want to protect important people," he said, and glanced at Dazai Osamu, "Of course you are too, so I will save you."

Then, he saw Osamu Dazai's iris-colored eyes tremble slightly, and immediately after, he received a system notification tone.

[Dazai Osamu Favorability -5]

[The impression of Osamu Dazai has been changed]

Hiiragi Eiji: "..."

Hiiragi Eiji was numb.He didn't know why, but after saying that sentence, he caught a trace of fear in Osamu Dazai's eyes, followed by a very familiar evasive move.

He took a deep breath and told himself that it was still due to lack of parenting experience, it didn't matter, he would stand up wherever he fell.

Then, he clicked on the NPC panel

[Impressions of Osamu Dazai: The Light Source of Fear]

Hiiragi Eiji: "..."

Are you so photophobic? !

Hiiragi Eiji closed the panel with a deep expression, he understood, it seems that the next thing to do is to help this brat with desensitization therapy.

After the bomb was completely dismantled, Mori Ogai seemed to finally realize that the missing defector would never be found again, and Toshi even ordered Hiirai Eiji and Chuya to terminate the mission and return to the port mafia.

When Hiiragi Eiji left Chuya's office with the handover report, he suddenly realized that the fragile connection between him and Eiji seemed to be completely severed because of this paper to terminate the transfer.

He didn't think about what happened in that quiet underground, because he didn't want to disappoint himself because the secret expectations in his heart failed.

The following days have always been dull, and Chuya is still busy.

Six days later, Zhong Ye walked out of a building at [-]:[-] p.m.

From the evening onwards, the atmosphere on the street was not right. He realized belatedly that today seemed to be Christmas Eve.

The moment he came out of the building, he immediately saw Hiiragi Eiji standing quietly under the shadow of a lamp.

The boy no longer wore the usual black suit, but was wrapped in a white down jacket, with a furry collar on the hat hanging behind him, his hands in his pockets, and a Black shopping bag.

The gray slacks paired with sneakers added a touch of childishness to him, and the gentle temperament around him became more obvious. The exquisite appearance made passers-by always cast their eyes on him inadvertently.

But he himself didn't notice it at all, he just stared at a certain place on the ground in a daze.

Zhong Ye's original depression caused by the task was diluted by the scene in front of him at this moment.

He couldn't help speeding up his pace and walked towards Hiiragi Eiji, but the other party seemed to be aware of it, and quickly looked up at his location.

Then, Zhong also saw that the young man who had been wearing a casual expression just now had a smile on his face.

With a "plop", Chuya's heart beat heavily, which made his pace start to slow down again.

He clearly felt that he was being waited for by the person in front of him.Hiiragi Eiji, who shouldn't be here, stands here on this cold night, waiting for him.

"...Are you waiting for me?" Nakaya whispered.

Hiiragi Eiji blinked suspiciously, "Isn't it so obvious?"

Zhong Ye was taken aback for a moment, then pulled the corner of his mouth.He didn't know why his mood suddenly jumped up.

"Merry Christmas." Hiiragi Eiji passed his hand forward, and the black shopping bag was brought to his eyes.

Nakaya stared blankly at the things in front of him, he was a little puzzled, but he still didn't want to let Hiiragi Eiji's hand stay there for too long.

He didn't wear gloves, so he must be very cold.

"……what is this?"

"It's a Christmas present." Hiiragi Eiji replied with a smile.

After Nakaya took it, he looked down at the black shopping bag. Thinking of what happened before, he didn't look at Eiji Hiiragi, and even his mood was depressed, so he asked in a muffled voice: "...why did you give me this bag?" I?"

Now, it was Eiji Hiiragi's turn to be a little distressed, "I'm sorry... I just wanted to give a friend a gift during the festival...?" Could it be that this does not conform to the social etiquette of the Mafia?

After Zhong Ye heard this sentence, he suddenly raised his head, his blue eyes slightly widened.

He originally thought it was just a scene to not embarrass him.

But it was only then that Chuya finally understood.

The reason why he is attracted to Uzumaki Eiji is precisely because he has always been a sincere person.

Chuya's mood climbed rapidly again.

Until this moment, Chuya finally knew why he was happy.

——The line that he thought was completely cut off was reconnected in this cold night that made him warm again.

...Is this what it's like to be friends with Eiji?But it seems to be a little different from the friend he thought of.

Zhong also felt the vibration in his chest and the blood in his body speeding up, he exhaled lightly, "... Eiji, it seems to be getting colder these days."

"Ah."

"...Well, it's already too cold to go to Okinawa to see the sea in this weather." Zhong also touched his nose.

Hiiragi Eiji nodded in agreement, "So we can wait until—" Spring.

However, Eiji Hiiragi hadn't finished speaking, and Chuya quickly added: "So, it seems more suitable to go to Hokkaido now."

Hiiragi Eiji: "..." So that's what it means!

"Next week, do you want to go together? I know there is a very good hot spring there."

"Okay." Hiiragi Eiji responded flatly, "But, Chuya, don't forget to ask me for leave first." He added quietly.

"Of course." Chuya replied stiffly, "Let's go, I'll take you to dinner, I'm almost starving to death."

Saying that, the two of them fell into the crowd together.

The next day, when Eiji Hiiragi went to the office, he found Osamu Dazai sitting on the seat and fiddled with a gray cashmere scarf.

This was a Christmas present from Hiiragi Eiji, but the brat didn't wear it, but lay on the edge of the scarf and poked it from time to time.

After sorting out his work files, he casually mentioned his weekend plans for next week to Osamu Dazai.

"...In other words, you plan to go to Hokkaido with the slug?" Osamu Dazai's tone suddenly became soft and slow.
