Osamu Dazai

Although the road is not paved, of course, there are traces of felling trees, trimming, and trampling the soil.

Observing the road, Oreki Houtarou said, "Hey, Dazai, Ayanokōji, do you think this island might be an artificial island?"

When he was on the boat, Oreki Houtaro was a little skeptical, because the school attaches so much importance to the safety of the students, it is impossible to place the students on a natural island for the exam, but now seeing these roads, he completely understands.

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka glanced at Oreki Houtarou in surprise, because almost all the people who could find out that this island was an artificial island were the best in this school.

Dazai Osamu just smiled, expressing his approval of Oreki Houtaro's statement.

"If this is the road made by the school, then there might be a stronghold ahead." Ayanokōji Kiyotaka said, pointing to the traces on the road.

"That's right, let's move on." Dazai Osamu directed.

Then the three of them walked along the opened road.

Soon the three of them arrived at the entrance of a cave formed by opening a large hole in a part of the mountain.

At first glance, it looks like a natural cave, but if you look closely, the appearance in the cave seems to have been definitely reinforced.

Perhaps the cave itself was also artificial.

Chapter No.17 Bald Superman 2

This suspected man-made cave, as well as the various traces on the road when it came, all show that this is one of the strongholds on the island.

"Dazai, should we go in and take a look?" Houtaro Oreki turned his head to look at Osamu Dazai. Strictly speaking, Osamu Dazai is the backbone of the three of them, and he must ask for Osamu Dazai before doing anything. opinion will do.

Osamu Dazai nodded. Although he had already observed this stronghold when he was on the ship, he only observed the exterior, and he was still a little curious about what the interior looked like.

Seeing Osamu Dazai nodding, just when the three of them were about to cross the grass in front, Kiyotaka grabbed the shoulders of the two of them and hid behind a big tree.

Oreki Houtarou blinked at Ayanokōji Kiyotaka with some doubts, although he didn't know what happened, but in the state of not knowing what happened, it's better not to make a sound.

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka pointed to the entrance of the cave, and there were two figures. A bald man came out. Under the sunlight, the light reflected from the top of his head was like a 32-watt light bulb, as if to fill the cave. Light up the same.

Under the light of the big light bulb, although the cave was not fully illuminated, another figure was illuminated, a boy with short green hair.

Seeing these two figures, Oreki Houtaro immediately understood the behavior of Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, and he was able to detect slight footsteps in a short period of time. It seemed that Ayanokouji Kiyotaka was stronger than he imagined.

These two figures are none other than the bald superman Katsuragi Kohei who had been in contact with Osamu Dazai on the boat, and Yahiko Totsuka, one of his followers.

Although there is no problem with the people from Class A occupying this stronghold, every stronghold is public and anyone can occupy it.

But the biggest problem is that the stronghold can only be occupied if the leader is determined.

Although it is also possible that Katsuragi Kohei and Totsuka Yahiko came to scout the location of the stronghold, and then returned to the class to let the leader swipe the card.

But with Katsuragi Kohei's cautious and conservative personality, and Class A not only has members of his faction, but also the radical and offensive Banryu faction.

Therefore, Katsuragi Kohei, the leader card, he will not give to anyone, he will only carry it with him, or let the person who is always by his side carry it with him.

And Yahiko Totsuka is his firm follower, and Katsuragi Kohei still trusts him very much.

In other words, the card representing the leader is likely to be in the hands of one of them.

Sure enough, the leader card was in Katsuragi Kohei's hands, and the three of them looked at each other, continuing to observe their status.

"As long as there is a cave of this size, those two tents are enough, Katsuragi-san. After all, our luck is really good. We can occupy the stronghold so quickly."

Yahiko Totsuka let out a small exclamation sound, as if he felt happy for a stronghold he found in a short time.

After all, in his opinion, no one can find a stronghold faster than them.

Hearing that the two of them were about to start communicating, the three of Dazai quickly concentrated their energy, eavesdropped on their conversation, and grasped the situation from the subtle voices they could hear.

"Luck? What have you been looking at so far? There is a cave here, and I already had a clue before I landed. In other words, it is inevitable that I will find it. Also, pay attention to your words and deeds. Because I don't know if there will be one. Who is eavesdropping. I have the responsibility of monitoring as a leader. You have to be careful not to make any small mistakes.”…

Katsuragi Kohei is still very cautious, and he still uses caution to the extreme in this environment, and he also has a clue before landing on the island, which also shows that Katsuragi Kohei was also observing the island after the broadcast on the ship sounded , only to find this stronghold.

Moreover, Katsuragi Kohei directly stated the important information that the leader is him, which is very unreasonable according to his cautious character.

"We are going to the next location, Yahiko. Since the stronghold has been occupied by us, there is no need to stay long. There are about two roads that can be seen from the ship. There should be facilities and other things in front of those roads. .”

Katsuragi still wants to find the next stronghold. It seems that he observed very carefully on the boat, but he should only observe the strongholds located at higher places.

"Okay, okay! But as long as there is a result left, "Sakayanagi" can only keep his mouth shut."

"If you keep your eyes on the inside of the class, you will be caught by the enemy." Katsuragi was very dissatisfied with Totsuka's remarks. In his opinion, this is the moment for the class to unite, and it is not allowed to say divisive remarks.

"Although this is the case, class B is the only one to guard against, right? Especially class D, isn't it a bunch of defective products? Even considering the difference in points, it makes people feel like ignoring them." Totsuka still wanted to refute. It seems that apart from Banliu and Class B who are in their next class, there is nothing else to worry about.

"This is different. In addition to the existence of the three class groups, there is also the existence of an individual class. He suddenly quit the exam, which made me feel very uneasy." Gecheng said with some worry, it may be these worries that made him lose his hair. Very serious.

Although from Totsuka Yahiko's point of view, they don't take Class D seriously at all.

As if they were regarded as small stones dropped by the roadside, it was not worth looking at.

However, Katsuragi Kohei is still very worried about Dazai Osamu's student union privileges and his existence as an individual in Class E.

Seeing that Totsuka still wanted to refute, presumably it was due to his dissatisfaction with Osamu Dazai on the boat, but Katsuragi immediately interrupted, "Let's stop chatting here, we must respect everyone, especially vice president Dazai. For such a powerful person, check the surrounding environment, let's go find the next stronghold, Yahiko."

Yahiko Totsuka clenched his fists a little bit afraid, but still obeyed Katsuragi Kohei's order and began to check the grass on the left, but he was still a little inattentive. It seems that he did not inherit Katsuragi Kohei's vigilance at all.

Katsuragi Kohei was in charge of the right side, but it happened that Osamu Dazai and the others were hiding on the left side, and Totsuka's inattentive inspection did not see the three of them huddled together.

After the two checked, they began to meet.

"I have no problem here, where are you? Yahiko."

"I have no problem at all. Anyway, no one will find the territory faster than us, and no one will come." Yahiko Totsuka scratched his short green hair with his fingers.

"Oh, let's go, find another stronghold." Katsuragi Kohei sighed slightly, he could clearly see that Yahiko Totsuka didn't pay attention to the inspection, but he still had trust in Yahiko Totsuka in his heart, so he also If he didn't pursue it, he turned to find the next territory.

"I see, Katsuragi-san." Totsuka Yahiko straightened up immediately, following Katsuragi Kohei's footsteps.

On the other side, three Q-shaped heads emerged from the grass.

Chapter 18 no no no

The three of them did not walk out of the grass rashly, but stayed in the grass for nearly ten minutes before getting out of the grass.

After all, Katsuragi Kohei's vigilance is too serious, as can be seen from his inspection just now.

Katsuragi Kohei and the others had already stated that they had already checked the surroundings before entering the cave, and that there were no members of other classes coming.

And Osamu Dazai and the others arrived after Katsuragi Kohei entered the cave, so Katsuragi Kohei didn't know their arrival.

However, even though Katsuragi Kohei had already checked once before, he still checked again, which also showed that Katsuragi Kohei's vigilance was not as serious as usual.

That's why Osamu Dazai and the others squatted quietly. After all, it is possible for someone like Katsuragi Kohei who is too vigilant to suddenly shoot back.

After the three walked out of the grass, they got together to discuss.

"Yuanfang, oh no, Houtaro, what do you think?" Osamu Dazai asked.

"Ah, what do you think?" Oreki Houtaro asked.

"He is asking you, who is the leader among the two of them, and you have seen the card representing the leader just now, right?" Ayanokōji Kiyotaka translated what Dazai Osamu wanted to say, and explained Oreki Houtarou's confusion.

Again, Houtarou Oreki didn't want to take on these troubles, because he couldn't see the relationship between those two people from Class A and Osamu Dazai and Kiyotaka Ayanokōji.

"Well, can I ask, what is the relationship between the two of them and the two of you?" Oreki Houtaro asked Osamu Dazai, he must find out whether this matter has anything to do with his dropping out of school, otherwise he will will not do.

Well, today's Oreki Houtarou is still advancing bravely on the way to drop out of school.

"Hmm... If you insist, it's probably because you want to trick him." Osamu Dazai waved his hand and said casually, as if he didn't take Katsuragi Kohei and the others seriously.

"Hey, why should I analyze it for you?!" Houtaro Oreki sighed in surprise. In his opinion, Osamu Dazai asked him to analyze who is the leader of Kohei Katsuragi, and Osamu Dazai wanted to cheat him. A relationship is obviously useless and completely irrelevant.

"If you want to trick him, you can play some pranks on Katsuragi Kohei." Oreki Houtarou thought in his heart.

"Well, because I want your analysis, that's all." Dazai Osamu said, staring into Oreki Houtaro's eyes.

Then, Oreki Houtaro also began to stare at Osamu Dazai in silence.

Ten seconds passed.

Oreki Houtarou suddenly said something.

"That's all?"

"Well, that's all."

Osamu Dazai nodded on his own, as if he didn't notice Houtarou Oreki's doubts at all.

Then the two began to stare at each other again.

Ayanokoji: "..."

Should I not be here, or should I join them and stare together.

"Well, forget it, can you tell me something about their characteristics, personalities, and previous behaviors?"

After half a minute of silence, seeing that Osamu Dazai didn't want to change his words at all, Houtaro Oreki finally gave in and agreed to answer Osamu Dazai's question.

"Anyway, it's just this one time, and we won't be able to see each other after dropping out of school." Oreki Houtaro thought to himself. …

Houtaro Oreki couldn't be said to have given in, but because he couldn't stand the silence between Osamu Dazai and him.

"That would be great. First of all, that bald superman, Katsuragi Kohei, has a steady, conservative personality and strong observation skills. As you saw just now, he trusts his companions very much, otherwise we would not be discovered."

Oreki Houtaro: "..."

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka: "..."

What a bad nickname you gave him.

"His servant is the green-haired one. He has a more aggressive personality and is usually careless. That's it. Let's analyze it."

Osamu Dazai explained the characters of the two, and turned to look at Houtarou Oreki who was thinking.

Oreki Houtaro circled his hair with his fingers, this should be his unique thinking action.

About five or six minutes later, Oreki Houtaro expressed his thoughts.

"You just said that Katsuragi Kohei is a very cautious person. He still conducts inspections when he already knows that there is no one, so it is impossible for him to get the information that he is the leader of Class A when there is no one."

"Besides, you also said that he trusts Totsuka Yahiko very much in his follower, so Katsuragi Kohei's message that he is the leader just now is probably to protect Totsuka Yahiko."

"Because Katsuragi Kohei trusts Totsuka Yahiko, he will give him the status of leader, and because Katsuragi Kohei trusts Totsuka Yahiko, he will bring him by his side."

"The above is the information I have summarized."

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka couldn't help but look at Houtarou Oreki, his reasoning ability is so powerful that he doesn't even need to fully understand the information, and can infer information that is extremely close to the truth, or even the truth, from just a few words of his own.

Osamu Dazai applauded, "That's amazing, Houtaro, I am amazed by your reasoning ability."

Osamu Dazai admired Houtaro Oreki very much, but he also wanted Houtaro Oreki to drop out of school even more.

In order to let Oreki Houtaro drop out of school before, he only wanted to let Oreki Houtaro drop out of school because he was afraid that something would happen and the plan would change.

But Osamu Dazai's perspective on getting Houtaro Oreki to drop out of school has changed.

His current view is to cherish talents, yes, it is to cherish talents, so Osamu Dazai sent Oreki Houtaro away from this school.

In this school, Dazai Osamu had too many things to do, and he couldn't discover the limit of Oreki Houtaro's ability at all.

Some people may think that sending Oreki Houtaro out of school is not good for him, but there are two sides to everything.

Oreki Houtaro is not suitable for this kind of highly competitive school, his aloof character and his energy conservationism will make him suffer.

It's better to find a school that is indifferent to the world. With Oreki Houtaro's ability, it should be easy to make great achievements.

And with his looks and wisdom, he will definitely not suffer in the future.

"No, this is not reasoning, it's just luck." Oreki Houtarou denied Dazai Osamu's statement.

"No, in my opinion, there are not many people in this school who are better than you. I can deduce this time only from a few words, Houtaro, you are very good." Osamu Dazai said.

"No, I don't want to be famous, I just want to live my energy-saving life, your rose-colored high school life, I don't want to touch it." Oreki Houtaro said.

"No no no... I think you're going to live a rosy life"

"No no no no no..."

Seeing the two chatting nonstop, Ayanokōji Kiyotaka felt that it was his responsibility to break the no-no-no cycle.

"I said, should we check it out?" Ayanokōji Kiyotaka said helplessly.

"No, no, no...Of course, let's go, both of you." Osamu Dazai strode out, swung his windbreaker, and almost fell on the faces of the two of them.

Oreki Houtaro and Ayanokōji Kiyotaka could only follow Dazai Osamu's footsteps with black lines all over their faces.

Chapter 19 Finding Territory

The three of Dazai walked into the cave.

The cave is pitch black, and it's hard to see the inner structure without the reflected light from Bald Superman.
