I don't want to be an elf!

According to him, it's just an interest.

"Speaking of which, when we first met, it was almost like this."

Osamu Dazai suddenly remembered something, and said with some regret: "It was Dun Jun who meddled in his own business and saved me from jumping into the river that day, otherwise I would have reported to the Underworld... If there is really a world after death in this world if."

Atsushi Nakajima was speechless for a while.

Logically speaking, saving someone's life should be thanked by the other party, right? Why can I only get disgusted by myself?

Or is this unreliable senior who recommended him to join the Armed Detective Agency really wanting to commit suicide?

Atsushi Nakajima didn't know, after all, he was just a newcomer to the Armed Detective Agency not long ago.

"Ah, that's right."

As if remembering something, Osamu Dazai asked: "Now that I think about it, you have been joining the Armed Detective Agency for almost a month, right?"

"Well, that's it." Nakajima Atsushi calculated in his mind, "To be precise, it is 28 days."

"28 days? It's okay, okay." Osamu Dazai breathed a sigh of relief, "There's still time to write the report."

As the guarantor who recommended Atsushi Nakajima to join the company, when Atsushi Nakajima got permission to join the company, the president of the Armed Detective Agency assigned Osamu Dazai a task.

Closely observe the status of newcomers within one month, try to help newcomers integrate into the group as much as possible, and write a report after the task to evaluate their comprehensive ability.

Dazai Osamu agreed wholeheartedly, but after agreeing, he forgot about the matter.

Writing a report is boring and tedious, and he would never take the initiative to touch it.

Even if it was a report that needed to be written after completing the commission, he would put it off again and again until the deadline.

But generally speaking, his reports will not be dragged to a dead end.

Because before that, someone will be impatient and write for him.

It's just that this time the report was commissioned by the president himself, and the target was Atsushi Nakajima, which made him pay attention.

Otherwise he will have his salary deducted.

"Cough cough."

Dazai Osamu cleared his throat and suddenly put on an expression of a senior caring for his juniors: "Atsushi-kun, how have you been during this time?"

"Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"

"Because I didn't take care of you much after I pulled you into the detective agency, shouldn't I make up for it as a senior?" Osamu Dazai said without changing his expression, "Have you gotten used to getting along with everyone in the detective agency?"

Hearing this question, Atsushi Nakajima showed a complicated expression.

If you are surrounded by the suicidal Dazai Osamu who shouts to commit suicide all day long and takes action, the trembling female doctor and Yosano Akiko who are always looking forward to getting hurt by their colleagues, and the cowherd Kenji Miyazawa who has a strange brain circuit , the detective Ranpo Edogawa who has no common sense and is extremely arrogant, the old-fashioned Kunikida Doppo who has a fiery personality and gets angry easily, and the brother and sister Tanizaki Junichiro and Tanizaki Naomi who don't care about other people's eyes and make out in public...

Can you get used to it?

As an ordinary person born in an orphanage, Atsushi Nakajima could only shiver in this company full of wonderful people.

Chapter 39 We have a traitor among us

"The seniors in the detective agency...they all have unique personalities."

Atsushi Nakajima smiled wryly, carefully chose his words, and expressed his thoughts carefully.

In this detective agency, which is full of weirdos, or to put it mildly, freaks, he has tried his best to adapt to the environment.

However, he still feels from time to time that he is the only outlier in this group.

Like that husky among wolves.

At first glance, there is nothing wrong with it, but if you look closely, you will have a doubt.

Why is this thing here?

As if seeing some inferiority complex in Atsushi Nakajima's wry smile, Osamu Dazai couldn't help but also laughed.

"Atsushi-kun, don't you think you don't belong in the detective agency?"

"No, no, no, I'm already an official member, and I still have a sense of belonging." Atsushi Nakajima said nervously, "It's just that I always feel... whenever I feel that I have something to do with my seniors, I still have a sense of belonging." And when they do, there's always something shocking ... scary about them."

"You have to understand other people. After all, those who can join the detective agency are more or less secret." Osamu Dazai said indifferently, "They are just like ordinary people, and they can chat and laugh with you, but once they meet with you Something about their secrets, another side of them will be brought out, and that's normal."

"Is it normal?" Atsushi Nakajima muttered, "I don't have one."

Hearing Nakajima Atsushi's low voice, Dazai Osamu was stunned, as if he didn't understand why he said that.

Then, as if he understood something, his smile became weird, and he held back his smile and said, "Wait, Dun-jun, don't you... don't you think you are a detective agency?" The only normal person here?"

"I feel that compared with my predecessors, I am already harmless to humans and animals." Atsushi Nakajima said with black lines on his face.

"Harmless to humans and animals?" Dazai Osamu laughed loudly, "As a disaster-level beast wanted by the former government and now a target of arrest by the port mafia, everyone thinks you are the most abnormal one in the whole society, okay? !”

"I was wanted by the government because of my ability to go berserk! I was caught by the port mafia, and I still don't know why!"

"That's why I said, everyone in the detective agency has some secrets, even if sometimes they don't know their own secrets."

Osamu Dazai patted him on the shoulder, and said encouragingly: "Everyone is a freak in the eyes of ordinary people, let's not look down on anyone, don't worry."

Atsushi Nakajima said with tears in his eyes: "Is this really encouragement? Why can't I be happy at all?"

"When you can feel happy from the bottom of your heart, it means you have been assimilated by us."

"It's absolutely impossible for something like this to happen."

"Wait and see."

At this moment, the two heard screams not far away.

Then, intense gunshots rang out.

The conversation between Dazai Osamu and Nakajima Atsushi ended, they looked at each other, and both ran to the place where the gunfire sounded.

Passing by other passers-by who were fleeing in twos and threes, the wet two rushed to the center of the incident regardless of their appearance.

"Dun-jun, did you find anything?"

"What? An enemy?"

Osamu Dazai said while running: "The last time I took you to carry out the commission, you were still a rookie who would crouch with your head in your arms when you heard the gunshots. Now you have the courage to act with me."

Atsushi Nakajima blinked, as if he had changed himself at this time, and said slowly: "Finally, there is a place willing to take me in. I can't just be a waste all the time."

"Are you not afraid anymore?"

"I'm still very scared, but..." Atsushi Nakajima showed a firm look, "But I believe in Mr. Dazai, and I also believe in other senior detective agencies."

"Well said." Osamu Dazai laughed, "You have already taken the most important step, it seems that it will be a matter of time before you are assimilated."

"I won't be..."

Just when the two of them came to the intersection and were about to turn, Osamu Dazai stopped abruptly, and opened his arms to stop Atsushi Nakajima, who almost had no time to brake behind him.

Dazai Osamu put his index finger on his lips, signaling him to be silent.

Atsushi Nakajima nodded, and cautiously came to Osamu Dazai, hiding behind the wall in order to reduce the chance of being discovered.

This is an area close to the Li unloading port. Generally speaking, it is an area with a high incidence of accidents. It is no surprise that crimes have occurred.

But there are gunshots, it can only mean two things.

The police, or the port mafia.

In Japan, firearms are also prohibited from being purchased and carried. Even when gangsters fight, they just use baseball bats, and even more violent ones use Japanese swords.

Gangsters who have the ability to get guns are at least local bullies.

And in Yokohama, the local tyrant is the port mafia.

So when gunshots ring out, it either means the police are in a situation where they have to use lethal force, or the port mafia is acting up in public again.

In either case, there is reason for an armed detective agency to step in.

Osamu Dazai poked out half of his head, and saw a mess not far from the intersection.

Several cars collided together and were abandoned on the road, or hit a utility pole and smoked. Workers working at the port scattered tools and goods all over the place, and even a few running shoes could be seen .

On top of this mess, two girls with double guns shot at each other in a movement that is impossible for humans.

stranger!

"Give up, you can't escape."

One of the girls, who was clearly in the upper hand, was wearing a gorgeous red and black dress and said lightly, "You should know my abilities better than anyone else. Why do you think you can escape after choosing to betray me?"

Hearing this voice, Osamu Dazai frowned slightly.

Three days ago, he also heard this voice.

This is the voice of a girl who is a new member of the Port Mafia, a girl who calls herself Nightmare.

It's just that he hid at the corner of the alley that night and didn't have a chance to see the other person's appearance, so he didn't recognize him at a glance just now. It wasn't until Meng Yan spoke that he realized the identity of the owner of the voice.

"What is Nightmare doing here?" Osamu Dazai stared at the battlefield intently, "Who is the other girl?"

"Mr. Dazai, do you know them?"

"I can't say I know you, I just met him. The person who gained the upper hand was the one you met three days ago when your power went berserk, Nightmare."

"That girl is the nightmare?" Atsushi Nakajima was stunned, "What about the other one?"

"I don't know, but since Nightmare calls him a traitor, it probably has something to do with the Port Mafia... At least, it has something to do with Nightmare."

Osamu Dazai squinted his eyes, put his hands into his coat, and secretly called the Armed Detective Agency, asking for reinforcements.

"Atsushi-kun, are you ready to fight the superpowers?"

Chapter 40 Half Man Half Tiger

Fighting with superpowers?

Or fight aliens from the notorious Port Mafia?

Atsushi Nakajima swallowed, and stuck his head out tentatively.

Seeing the fighting posture of the two girls flying over the wall like supermen not far away, Atsushi Nakajima quickly retracted into the wall, shaking his head like a rattle: "Impossible, impossible, impossible, Mr. Dazai, you are trying to make things difficult for others. I can't even control my abilities, how could I get involved in such a difficult battle."

"Please, you have joined the detective agency for almost a month, the president's supernatural ability [human beings do not create] has affected your supernatural ability to some extent, right?" Osamu Dazai gave him a slightly contemptuous look, " You have to stand up, Dunjun, the reason for the [Tiger under the Moon] to go berserk is nothing more than that you are too unconfident to control the arrogant Tiger under the Moon. Isn't the tiger under the moon easy to catch?"

"No one can say that self-confidence can become self-confident." Atsushi Nakajima said with a sad face.

All his edges and corners were smoothed when he was in the orphanage. After all, in that facility where he was beaten and scolded frequently when he did something wrong, self-confidence was the least possible character to develop.

This is not something that can be done in a day or two.

Osamu Dazai knew it too.

But reality does not allow him to slowly help Atsushi Nakajima rebuild his self-confidence.

The port mafia is still trying to capture Atsushi Nakajima, the sooner he can control his abilities, the better his safety will be guaranteed.

After all, other detective agency members also have jobs and cannot take care of him like a nanny all day long.

"It seems that he needs to be given a little motivation." Osamu Dazai thought to himself.

Atsushi Nakajima is much better now than it was a month ago.

Although the change cannot be called earth-shaking, at least I have regained some courage.

This courage is not enough to make him confident, but with some external force, maybe...?

Therefore, Osamu Dazai put on a serious expression: "Atsu-kun, this place is more than 15 kilometers away from the detective agency. Even if you ignore the traffic rules, it will take more than 15 minutes. Do you think the girl who was attacked can last for [-] minutes?" ?"

"It might work......"

Just when he said these words, a suppressed scream sounded, making Atsushi Nakajima's already pale face become even more ugly.

There was a bad feeling in his heart, and when he poked his head out to look, the horror in his eyes could no longer be concealed.

In his eyes, the two who were still fighting back and forth had already clearly decided the winner.

The girl who was already at a disadvantage was shot in the thigh by the nightmare, and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

Losing the ability to move, the girl's face was filled with pain, but she did not give up her desire to survive. She dragged her injured leg towards the Armed Detective Agency. The two of them crawled on the ground while using cover.

"I told you, you have no chance of winning."

Nightmare fell from mid-air and walked towards the girl calmly: "But I have to praise you, you bravely rebelled against fate, although it was useless."
