After hearing Draco's thoughts, everyone couldn't sit still.

Chapter 218 If World

"Where is this? The Port Mafia?" Draco pulled Harry and Dazai to another Yokohama. The if world was not mentioned in the anime, so they knew they had to come to recover the core, but they didn't know where to start.

Dazai was looking at the five buildings in front of him, with no surprise in his eyes.

Their sudden appearance was immediately discovered by members of the port mafia, and they were surrounded in just a few minutes.

They were all stunned when they saw Dazai Osamu. The leader? But wasn't the leader in the office?

Could it be the enemy's special ability?

However, due to Dazai Osamu's authority, the members of the Port Mafia did not dare to take any action for a while.

Draco sensed a subtle pull from the building before him, a sudden... er, er, er? A rapid descent?

He looked up and saw a small black dot falling from the sky.

Harry and Dazai Osamu also looked upwards curiously following Draco's gaze, ignoring the port mafia members who were eyeing them covetously.

"That... is Dazai?" Harry was a little confused.

Some members of the port mafia couldn't help but take a sneak peek upwards when they heard this and almost fainted.

"Lord Dazai!" He shouted at the top of his lungs, but it still couldn't stop the black figure with the red scarf from getting closer and closer to the ground.

This time, there was really no time to take care of Draco and the others. Everyone huddled together in a panic, trying to resist some of the impact.

It's too late to find a life-saving mat now! And they're the mafia! Where did they get this thing?

Draco had good eyesight, so he could naturally see the dead silence and a hint of embarrassment in the eyes of the other 'Dazai Osamu'.

Oh, it seems he didn't expect this situation to happen.

The Port Mafia worked together to spread out the picnic mats they had gotten from somewhere, and moved them as 'Dazai Osamu' approached.

There were beads of sweat on his hands and forehead, but he held on to a corner of the tablecloth tightly and refused to let go.

"Captain, please don't be in any danger! Otherwise, Master Chuuya will definitely kill them when he returns!"

One has to admire the preparations made by the port mafia in this short moment.

However, falling from such a high building, even if you were caught, it would probably not be a good feeling.

Ignored, Draco sighed and silently cast a levitation spell on 'Dazai Osamu'.

Of course, Dazai Osamu also saw Draco's little action, but he didn't say anything.

Why should he let his other self embrace death? Just live well. If his guess was correct, the little slug from this world should be on its way back, right?

Thinking that Dazai Osamu is unhappy makes Dazai Osamu happy.

Harry looked speechlessly at Dazai Osamu, who was emitting a strong sense of malice.

What's wrong? Are you so malicious towards yourself?

When 'Dazai Osamu' jumped down from a height, he didn't know what he was feeling, and his short and ridiculous life quickly emerged in his mind.

The only regret I have is that I haven't read Odasaku's novels... Odasaku...

It was just an ordinary dive into the water, but I unexpectedly picked up a strange book.

He saw himself in countless worlds in the book, and without exception, he met and lost himself in each one...

Overnight, he lost faith in everything, became full of doubts about humanity, and lost his expectations, joy and resonance with human life.

He kicked out Mr. Mori and took over himself, guiding Odasaku towards the Armed Detective Agency.

He worked tirelessly to make the Port Mafia the underground overlord of the entire Kanto region.

And this world is indeed the only one where Odasaku survives.

The book cannot be known by more than two people, otherwise the world will be destroyed.

In order to protect this world, 'Dazai Osamu' decided to entrust the future of the world to the new "Double Black" who are more capable of protecting it, and he will commit suicide with the secret in the book.

However, before he committed suicide, he specifically met with Odasaku, with whom he had no connection and was even hostile, in the tavern where the three of them had raised their glasses.

When he saw Odasaku sitting one seat away from him, his heart sank - even though he had already known that it was all just his wishful thinking.

Dazai Osamu still remembered that he was very excited and gesticulating as he told Odasaku about his longing for her.

But in the end, even his expression of smiling but about to cry did not cause any ripples in Odasaku's heart.

In the end, all that was left to him was Odasaku, who pointed his gun at him without hesitation.

'Dazai Osamu' felt as if he had been hit hard, and was confused and didn't know what to do.

Before leaving, he begged - even pleaded - Odasaku to at least not shoot in the bar.

Don't shoot in this bar that carries his endless hopes...

As he sat alone in the dark chief's office, enveloped in an endless chill, he belatedly realized:

Now that the weather is getting very cold, the gaps between all things will probably become bigger and bigger.

He subconsciously wanted to summon Chuuya, but his hand suddenly stopped.

Ah, yes, Chuuya was also sent away by him.

Now, he is really the only one left...

"The more sensitive and timid one is, the more one hopes the storm will come even harder..."

'Dazai Osamu' forced a smile in the darkness.

Just like the smile he showed in mid-air now.

That smile was not like a bird, but like the light feathers of a bird.

In the end, all that remained in his mind was a high-spirited figure.

"Chuya..." The soft whisper was torn into pieces by the wind.

He closed his eyes and prepared to face the end of his life.

"Dazai-sama!" "Chief-sama!" "Chief!"...

Dazai Osamu couldn't help but frown and opened his eyes hesitantly.

Is it an auditory hallucination?

But when he saw what was below, he was obviously surprised.

A group of people in black suits are waiting down there, holding a pink picnic blanket?

Dazai Osamu had clearly not anticipated this. His brain froze for a second.

When he fell onto the picnic blanket without any injuries, he knew clearly that something had changed.

He stood up silently amidst everyone's greetings, and after glancing around, his eyes locked on Draco and the other two.

When he saw that Dazai Osamu had the same face as him and was wearing a sand-colored windbreaker, his pupils shrank.

Dazai Osamu naturally did not miss the fleeting look of 'Dazai Osamu'.

He smiled at 'Dazai Osamu', his smile filled with black mud.

He pulled Draco and whispered for a while, and when Dazai had a bad premonition, he saw the platinum-haired boy nodded, and then the three of them disappeared from Dazai's sight in an instant.

"That's enough, I'm fine." Dazai Osamu's face was as gloomy as water, and he shooed away a group of port mafia members who were surrounding him.

The main world? No, that's not right. He had no impression of the other two people... Could it be that there were other worlds besides the ones he observed?

Where will they go...

A name quickly popped into his mind: The Armed Detective Agency.

'Dazai Osamu' returned to the leader's office nonchalantly, still thinking.

What was the purpose? The power he felt when he fell just now should have come from one of the two teenagers.

Is it possible to remain unaffected by No Longer Human?

He knew that his suicide plan would not go through.

He had a feeling that those three people would not let him die like this.

And he also wanted to find out their origins...

At this moment, he forgot about Nakajima Atsushi and Akutagawa Ryunosuke who had just witnessed him jumping off the building.

I also forgot about Nakahara Chuuya who should be on his way back...

------------------------------------------

Draco, Harry and Dazai Osamu landed precisely at the location guessed by 'Dazai Osamu' - the Armed Detective Agency.

Draco had just sensed that Dazai Osamu did not have a core, but had been with the core for too long and had been contaminated by its aura.

But he already had an idea of where the core was.

Since Dazai Osamu said he wanted to see the Armed Detective Agency here, he agreed to his request.

"Huh? Why don't you leave, Dazai?" Draco and Harry were excitedly preparing to go to the Armed Detective Agency to find Ranpo Edogawa.

However, after walking only a few steps, he realized that someone was not following him, so he turned around and looked at Dazai Osamu in confusion.

"...Nothing." Dazai Osamu's expression was complicated. If his guess was correct...

He suddenly felt a little timid and wanted to escape, but finally he let out a breath, smiled at Draco and the others as if nothing had happened, and followed them.

"We have guests, Tanizaki, go open the door. Oh, and by the way, they're harmless, just bring them here."

In the detective agency, Edogawa Ranpo paused while eating snacks, and then spoke to Tanizaki Junichiro.

"Ah? Oh." Tanizaki Junichiro was already used to Edogawa Ranpo's prophetic behavior, so he obediently got up and opened the door.

Anyway, Mr. Ranpo is the most powerful!

Kunikida Doppo, Oda Sakunosuke and others looked towards the door with some curiosity.

When Tanizaki Junichiro led the three people in with a strange look on his face, the two men couldn't help but stand up vigilantly.

"What does the leader of the Port Mafia want here?" Kunikida Doppo stood in front of Edogawa Ranpo with a nervous look.

Although he changed his clothes, he would never mistake this face.

Oda Sakunosuke said nothing, and stood in front of Edogawa Ranpo with the same vigilance, protecting their 'delicate' brains.

There was just some hesitation and doubt in his expression.

I always feel that this person is different from the leader of the port mafia I met in the bar.

Was it his imagination? Or... twin brothers?

"Hahahahaha! Cough cough!" Edogawa Ranpo held his stomach and laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe.

"No, they're not twin brothers. He's Dazai Osamu, but not the one we know."

Oda Sakunosuke's train of thought is as bizarre as ever.

Draco and Harry didn't react much, just shrugged helplessly.

Just now, when Tanizaki Junichiro saw them, he also had an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

It must be because of Dazai Osamu’s face!

After hearing what Edogawa Ranpo said, Kunikida Doppo was no longer as nervous as before, but he still remained alert.

He was puzzled: "Isn't that the one we know?"

What does it mean.

"Well, this Dazai Osamu, you should be the Dazai Osamu from the Armed Detective Agency in another world." Edogawa Ranpo made an easy judgment.

"Alas, we can't hide it from the most intelligent detective Ranpo~" Dazai Osamu, who had not spoken since he came in, said with an exaggerated smile and gestures, as if turning on a switch.

But his eyes involuntarily fell on Odasakunosuke, and he stared at Odasaku almost greedily.

Long time no see, Odasaku...

Even though Oda Sakunosuke's eyes were full of strangeness and coldness, he didn't care.

Being able to see his friend alive again was enough to make him happy.

Of course, Oda Sakunosuke was keenly aware of Dazai Osamu's gaze.

A strange thought suddenly arose in his mind.

Why was he looking at her like that? This look of joy, of longing, of reunion...just like the one Dazai Osamu, the leader of the Port Mafia, gave her that night...

Could it be that... what that person said back then was true? In another world, they were... friends?

"Dazai Osamu from the Armed Detective Agency?" Kunikida Doppo repeated subconsciously, then suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Dazai Osamu in disbelief.

Not only him, but also those present, including Yosano Akiko who came out of the infirmary and Fukuzawa Yukichi who came out of the president's office after hearing the noise, were all in disbelief.

"Oh, yes, I'm Draco Malfoy, temporarily living in the Armed Detective Agency." Draco nodded politely.

"I'm Harry Potter." Harry nodded as well, then stood in front of Draco without saying a word.

He just wanted to be with Draco and had no interest in these things.

Whether the world is destroyed or not has nothing to do with him.

"Hmm, so that's how it is..." Edogawa Ranpo's eyes kept shifting between the three of them, and finally he said thoughtfully.

"As expected of Lord Ranpo, it's really great that you don't have to explain it again." Dazai Osamu still looked nonsensical and spoke in a frivolous tone.

"I believe he is no longer the leader of the Port Mafia." Kunikida Dopo had a complicated expression. If this was the leader of the Port Mafia, then the Port Mafia would be in trouble.

But is this Dazai Osamu from the Armed Detective Agency? I have a feeling he's having a hard time in that other world.

Kunikida Doppo and other members of the Armed Detective Agency did not doubt Edogawa Ranpo's words.

Even if this is not good for their values.

But since Mr. Ranpo said so, they must be from another world!

After realizing that this group of people came from another world, the interest of several people was instantly piqued.

"Excuse me, do we know each other?" Oda Sakunosuke hesitated for a long time, but still asked Dazai Osamu sincerely.
