   ❝ I have the feeling that I’m being watched. ❞

   “  Based  on  that  last  statement  ,  I’m  going  to  say  mostly  because  of  BOTH  of  you.  But  as  long  as  you  aren’t  in  the  casino  …..  “  Sounds  like  a  problem  for  everyone  else.  “  If  you  want  painful  ,  probably.  “

   Well  that  escalated  quickly.    “  ….Why  do  I  feel  like  the  whole  town  might  end  up  on  fire  if  you  try  ?  “

   ❝ Uhhhh... Probably it may happen? I mean, we’re talking about Nikolai. And me. But mostly that crazy clown... ❞

sigma vc: please take the clown. please?

« …why have you tried to die, may I ask?…  »

Yup, there he went. Junichiro sighed as he sat down with a warm and friendly smile.

“…Oh dear, you’re a charmer, aren’t you?” She responded to Dazai, cheeks burning.

Dazai’s colleague extended his hand. “I’m Tanizaki Junichiro, we’re here to get the information you spoke of…”

   ❝ I may be, nothing but saying the truth to you, beautiful damsel. ❞

It was typical of Dazai to flirt with women, no matter what kind of woman, he was always ready to say nice things to them.

“A young woman with light blond hair that goes by the name of Serena–will be wearing jeans and a hoodie to look inconspicuous.”

Of course, even if he was faking it, his response was automatic.

He opened the door of the cafe for Dazai and headed inside. The woman was sitting at a table in the corner, so he headed in that direction.

  ❝ Ohhh alrighty ~ ♥ ❞

Dazai nodded after the other’s reply and followed him into the café. He entered first and when he saw the woman with the description of his partner, he went directly to her.

   ❝ It’s a pity that a beautiful woman like you has to hide herself, truly. ❞

“Well, he does take those things very seriously…so…I guess I’m not surprised he scolded you…also he scolds you for everything…”

But it was because he /cared/, not because he was necessarily targeting Dazai.

“…” He smiled softly. The whole detective agency were important to him, but there was someone that he really wanted to protect. Everyone knew who that someone was.

“–So, our client is supposed to meet us at that café over there,” he kept an eye out for the person who fit the description.

   ❝ Oh alright. What was the description again? ❞

“Boring, huh?” Perhaps, but…he just didn’t want to see Naomi cry. Like it or not, the Detective Agency meant a lot to all of them and that included Dazai.

No matter how much of a pain in the ass he could be sometimes.

“We’re paired for this job, so lets get going.”

  ❝ Alright alriight... Let’s keep going. But can you believe that Kunikida-kun scolded me for being one minute late to work ?? ❞

When he said one minute, it was one hour. Dazai loved to joke about such things, though it was always like that. As much as the man looked like a madman, he really was a mess inside.

“Yes, that’s true…but you dying would cause all sorts of problems for the rest of us, so why don’t you try thinking about that just this once…?”
