ANOTHER

      【 ♘ INTERROGATOR 】

   “ Afraid I can’t do that, Ayatsuji-san. You’re specifically being requested for this investigation—–and time is rather crucial. Our superiors would prefer to avoid further lives lost. We’re on the clock. ”

❛   ah, i see … that is a perfectly good reason to avoid them, i suppose. what prompts you to buy so many ? it seems almost                     excessive.   ❜

❛   are they porcelain ? or, are they all plastic ? i wouldn’t know, since i don’t own dolls.   ❜    *  @hcmicided  .

                     “    of  course  i  have  means  of  blackmailing  them  ,   i  always  do  .    that  guy  is  very  easy  to  tie  with  his  hands  behind  his  back  ,  so  to  speak  .    “       amusement  ,  although  it  is  displayed  with  a  bit  of  a  tight  -  lipped  smile  of  devious  intention  !    dazai  wasn’t  always  a  cleanly  -  cut  sort  of  individual  ,  as  most  people  are  often  more  or  less  aware  of  when  they  approach  him  ,  but  he  didn’t  intend  to  cause  too  much  harm  —  not  more  than  the  alternative  ,  at  least  .   with  that  in  mind  ,  he  lulls  his  head  .    “      that’s  good  to  hear  .    i’m  going  to  smoke  out  a  bunch  of  rats  soon  ,   every  single  one  of  them  —     and  the  biggest  rodent  of  them  all  will  ,  as  well  ,  come  out  into  the  open  —  i  need  to  put  him  down  as  quickly  as  possible  ,  lest  our  dear  city  here  be  leveled  in  his  hunt  for  the  upper  hand  .    what  do  you  think  ,  hm  ?    “

                  “  really  ?   didn’t  think  that  guy  cared  that  much  for  his  position  …    “    there’s  an  obvious  name  on  the  detective’s  tongue  ,  alas  ,  he  can’t  feel  a  need  to  particularly  pronounce  it  entirely  .   it  had  nothing  to  do  with  the  situation  or  request  ,  but  he can’t  help  but  feel  traces  of  his  own  bitterness  towards  that  individual  ,  after  all  the  trust  he’d  naively  placed  on  those  shoulders  …      nonetheless  ,  dazai  hummed  ,  leaning  in  his  chair  !   “    it’s  about  as  interesting  as  it  gets  around  a  place  like  this  .    there’s  a demon  running  around  the  city  ,  you  know  ?    surely  it’s  had  the  division  of  abilities  in  a  dizzying  dance  these  past  few  weeks  .    after  the  multiple  threats  to  the  county’s  security  ,  the  fact  that  they  might  not  have  let  you  in  on  the  secret  really  spells  out  their  priorities  ~  .    “

“ i suppose one would think it would lead into something else. ”

  A gloved hand clasped the back of his neck as he walked out of the arranged meeting area, grimacing. That had almost taken a very nasty turn, but luckily the leader seemed to value the potential gain out of the deal over his pride and had stopped his men. Chuuya wasn’t worried; he could slaughter them all within a second if the need arose. An unfortunate potential lost, but it would not have hurt the Port Mafia.

  He came to a halt by the river, pulling out a cigarette and lighting it to take a draw before blowing out the smoke. He was stressed. With the reemergence of Double Black, business trips, everything seemed to be going at about a million miles per hour. A break might be nice. He’d like that, except there was too much to do, he wouldn’t take one unless ordered to.

  “Something caught your eye?” The redhead executive spoke up, slowly turning around to where he’d felt the pair of eyes from, head tilted. He didn’t recognize the face, that’s for sure. He took another drag of the cigarette, exhaling calmly once again as he waited.

it’s  boring  to  be  inside  .  you  have  read  all  of  your  books  ,  after  all  ,  and  though  you  spend  most  of  your  time  in  your  doll  room  you  still  do  have  a  need  for  fresh  air  .  so  ,  you’ve  once  more  evaded  your  surveillance  and  snuck  your  way  out  .  running  into  the  port  mafia  executive  had  only  been  a  coincidence  ,  though  you  don’t  know  whether  or  not  it’s  a  good  one  just  yet  .

❛     if  it  hadn’t  ,  would  i  be  staring  ?     ❜  a  brow  raised  slightly  ,  you  raise  your  pipe  to  your  lips  and  take  a  puff  off  it  ,  as  though  purposely  mirroring  his  actions  .  you  blow  smoke  out  of  your  mouth  ,  more  purposeful  than  his  casual  exhale  .  ❛     such  an  encounter  was  unexpected  ,  that’s  all  .     ❜

oh ? so i can kiss you anytime i feel like it? how interesting.~
