They Will Call Our Crimes A Work Of Art: Soukoku Child (Chuuya X Dazai)

The dog can't find the traces

Suribachi - unknown

Chuuya Lost her...

HE FUCKING LOST HER!
In Suribachi of all places, unless she could turn invisible which, Dazai said she couldn't, wasn't possible!
He knew Suribachi like the back of his hand, goddamn it, it was his territory once!!

Chuuya was pacing the alleys of Suribachi searching for a glimpse of a limping girl, yes, limping because she was sure as hell injured! And! she did a shitty job at addressing the wound, but she was no where to be found!
Fucking no where!!

Chuuya decided to do one last thing before reporting back to his mackrael boss, controlling Suribachi from above

He activates upon the tainted sorrow and starts ascending arriving high above, he toke out a pair of binoculars and started looking below with a sigh

After two minutes he saw her...
Wait what... He looked looked again, and there she was, what the actual fuck!!

He tried to get close once again, but the moment he got close, it was like she disappeared into thin air and reappeared once he returned to his post in the air

He had no other choice but to follower her with the binoculars while on the phone with Dazai of course, who seamed quite overjoyed by the whole disappear-appear thing, even a bit too much

On the phone

"It could be an ability that takes effect in area or upon sight! Oh! but she isn't looking at you is she?"

"No, she is not; a man just randomly gave her a sandwich without having had visible physical contact"

"Naruhodo... Then, Chuuya! Be a good guard dog and do what guard dogs do!"

"AH?!! I'm no guard dog!"

"Do what I did with you at the coast if a situation like that occurs"

"So I'm going to be a shitty manipulative bastard??"

"I feel like my dog just barked angrily at me... Huph"

Dazai was pounting... Over the damn phone... Chuuya was sure as hell he was hallucinating his face in front of him

"Listen slug, you keep an eye on the kid and wait for a 'coast' kind of accident and then act, understood my good chibi dog?"

Chuuya ended the call, he didn't need to answer his question, he wanted to, chuuya really wanted to reply in kind but his target would surely hear him, blasting Dazai ears off and all, so he was contempt with floating while grinning his teeth

He resumed his stalk- observation of the girl, she moved around as if she was a ghost, nobody noticing her presence, people parting unconsciously when she passed...

Some sort of ghost ability... But Dazai said it was Bram kind of shit... So... She has to do something to her targets so they would respond to her ability?
But she didn't interact directly with any of them, but so didn't Chuuya he simply got close and lost sight of her.

Chuuya froze mid air

Was she... Was she staring at him right now?
His mind started racing to all the possibilities of how.

Had he gotten too close without noticing? No, he maintained the same distance always
Did he do something to be noticed? Not that he can think of...

While he tried to find a flaw in his stal- observation, she truly disappeared

And Chuuya finally realised something:
He had been played...
Since when?
Since the fucking beginning...
He wasn't the one observing, she was the one observing him...

The whole situation reminded him painfully of a certain brown haired demon

She let him follow her, she let him see her, Dazai had done the same so many years ago, making him think he was in control before taking it away like he was a petulant child

A shudder run through his being at the through of Dazai meeting that... Witch!!

Damn he can't bring himself to curse a kid

Following her would bring to nothing, he decided he would go back to the base and open a bottle of wine, nothing's better than a couple of glasses after being played like a violin.

Chuuya was used to it, he didn't mind...
No... No... He did mind, the only person he accepted manipulation from is Dazai, no way in hell he'll let it slide.
