Two Suicidal Maniacs - Dazai Osamu x female oc(Bungo Stray Dogs)

Chapter 14

My heart was pounding, I don't know what I was nervous for either. Everything's set and ready, all we have to do now is wait for the arrival of the president, Ranpo, and of course, Dazai. There's nothing to worry about, right? But my worrisome sensation is telling me that it's not that easy...

Just the next second, the door flung open, and Ranpo first stepped into the room with the president behind him.

"We're back everyone! Everything's arranged now." Ranpo explained.

My eyes searched for Dazai as soon as Ranpo opened his mouth, but there was no sight of him.

"Is Dazai not back yet?" I asked timidly, full of worrisome. Then, a foot from behind the frames of the door stepped out, revealing the tall figure, it was Dazai. To be honest, my body relaxed in state at that moment.

The president cleared his throat, and then spoke, "since we have reunited, how about we report our process? Me and Ranpo had found a place in the Port Mafia, we've came to alliance."

A few gasps were heard.

"The funeral preparations are all set, it will be held at Funeral Arrangements," Atsushi informed.

"At 8:30am tomorrow morning," Kyouka added.

"Everything's also finished here too, Dazai's identities are all set dead," Naomi announced.

"And the public information will be updated by tomorrow morning." Kenji appended with that signature friendly smile of his.

"Well, looks like we're all ready and I assume you've organised the media too, right Dazai?" the president asked, and Dazai gave a small, accomplished nod. "So, let's start the operation! Dazai, you go with me to the mafia port base, and Chika, you go with Tanizaki to the organization's base. Tanizaki, you use your 'Light Snow' to hide yourself and retreat immediately when Chika is lost in sight."

"But do we even know where their base is?" Tanizaki questioned.

"Well, that's the job of the greatest detective, isn't it?" Kunikida answered and looked towards Ranpo.

"Yes indeed, it's me." Ranpo exclaimed in a pleased tonality, and then everyone went silent, as if waiting for Ranpo to perform something. "Super Deduction!"

After 30 seconds, when the glow of the ability faded off, and Kunikida queried, "so where's the place?"

"It's among the warehouses near the port. No, several buildings are occupied by them. Good location I must say, there's even ships available." Ranpo made out.

"Alright, get to work then everyone!" Ordered the president.

After that being said, the president and Dazai went for the door, with me and Tanizaki following from behind. The four of us walked down the stairs, leading to the car park. The darkness of the corridors seemed like it could devour us whole.

At the parking lots, the president and Dazai went for the closest car, while me and Tanizaki went for the one next to it.

After I fastened my seatbelt in the car, I looked up to glance outside the window, to only see Dazai looking back. He mouthed some words, but I couldn't make out what they were, afterwards, he made a wink, and then left with the president. I wonder what he said...was I supposed to know?

Luckily, a call pulled me back to reality, "are you okay Chika-chan? Don't be nervous, I'm sure Dazai's and Ranpo's predictions are right." Tanizaki reassured with a soothing smile, revealing a hinted of nervousness. I nodded my head slightly and mouthed a polite thank you.

After around 20 minutes, the specks were already turning into warehouses, and Tanizaki also started his ability, making the vehicle invisible. When I turned my head towards the clock, it was 12:43am, looks like there's still plenty of time left.

Tanizaki stopped the car when we were around 200 meters away from the warehouses. I then got out of the car and headed for the buildings with Tanizaki tracking from behind secretly. The more I got closer, the more anxious and timorous I felt.

I walked deeper into the blocks of buildings, there were rats squeaking, and insects moving behind sight. Even though I couldn't see anyone close by, I'm sure there were pairs of eyes looking at me from above. I didn't stop until I got to a slightly grander infrastructure compared to the others.

I stepped closer and closer to the entrance, and then suddenly, the doors opened. My eyes widened to see who I was greeted with, it was Oni. His face looked sentimental as always, but also seemed a bit relieved that I was here. No conversation held, and I was gestured in as the guards closed the doors. Tanizaki should be gone by now, I thought.

At the same time, the president and Dazai had arrived at the port mafia base, and a black truck had been waiting for them. After they parked the car on the roadsides, the two were greeted by three mafiosos, and the president was told to go back, since only Dazai was required.

Expectedly, the president did what he was told, and went back into the car as he watched Dazai being put inside the trunk. It rather looked like a kidnapping scene, but of course, the man chose to trust Mori.

The truck drove for several minutes, before it stopped at an old narrow street. Inside the truck, Dazai was blind-folded, and was in that state until he got to the basement. Along the way, they had to travel through a diverse number of encryption protections and doors, it was surely well kept under surveillance.

When they pulled down the cloth blinding Dazai, he saw Mori sitting right in front of him, drinking red wine with another glass opposite of Mori on the table.

"Look who's here? Care to have a drink with me? Dazai-kun." Mori spoke with sarcastic tonality.

Dazai sneered, and then shook his head gently, before sitting down on the chair opposite of Mori's. He picked up the glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.

"Well, it's finished, just like the conversation should be. You should go now too, Mori-san." Dazai said, nearly as a death threat.

Mori just simply smiled with pleasure and went for the door. "I hope to see what you've planned, Dazai-kun. This is going to be exciting." The mafia boss said sickly, and then left, leaving Dazai along in the room.

Not only until then, has Dazai actually examined the room. There was a bed, a desk, and a set of table and chairs that he was sitting on. He inspected more closely and realised that he must be underground by a good length, because there were two running fans that were working furiously. It must be difficult to rest...

After the inspections, he then plopped down onto the bed. Dazai wondered whether his predictions and intuitions were right, but as always, they were right. However, what he most thought of, was about Chika.

Fate will, and always will, lead the two together.
