Your little body was hidden among the slightly opened boxes. While you were listening to the conversation of the other two people in the room, you were looking at the bag full of dust that you were holding in your hand ---the name of which you did not know--. Mori was sitting slouched, writing something on paper, while speaking in a distressed tone.
''There's nothing left to do..'' He sighed while telling his troubles to Dazai, who was a few steps away from him and stirring something in the beaker. Of course, you were just listening to them. "Our gun smugglers are two weeks behind schedule." He closed his eyes as he placed his hands on his forehead. ''If it continues like this, our men will have to fight with fruit knives.''
As Dazai continued to stir the beaker with a strange liquid in it, he looked at you with an eye that was not bandaged, then turned back in front of him, as if he didn't care about Mori's troubles.
Mori sentences became confused as he continued speaking, your (e/c) eyes remaining calm as they looked from Mori to Dazai.
"As if that wasn't enough, too. The people we work for as bodyguards," he suddenly straightened his shoulders as he resumed the conversation, "are canceling their contracts..." He tilted his head slightly to the right. "Maybe we should never have started this business!" His voice was slightly raised, although he tried to maintain his calm personality, you knew deep down that he was angry.
As he turned his chair to the side where Dazai was, he moved his body with the chair. "What do you say, Dazai-kun?''
Dazai finally lifted his head from the disgusting smelling liquid and turned to Mori. "What do you mean, Mori-san..." He closed his eye while increasing the speed of mixing the liquid. "With insufficient money, intelligence and without the confidence of your men.. You knew it was going to come to this, didn't you?" He had a nonchalant attitude when he opened his eye.
Mori squinted his eyes while frowning as if he was sad. "It hurt..''
In your opinion, their conversation was very boring, really very boring.. Since you still couldn't get your head around the business of trading, the conversation of these two didn't make any sense to you.
"By the way, why are you mixing hypertension medications with hypotension medications?" While giving Dazai one of his curious glances, Mori finally asked the question you were wondering too.
Dazai spoke after standing silent for a while. "I believe that if I can put it together, I can have a comfortable death.''
You could only grimace at Dazai's dramatic remark. "Always the same topic." You mumbled quietly, but obviously they both heard it. Mori sighed and closed his eyes as Dazai focused on you.
"Dazai-kun, when I took over as the boss, you were with me. You heard his request too.'' Mori tone became serious as Dazai lifted the beaker to his mouth as if he was going to drink the mixture. "I can't let you die so cruelly."
Upon Mori's words, Dazai became serious as he pushed the beaker away from himself. They both continued to make eye contact with each other, as if they had made a silent agreement between them.
Finally, after rubbing your eyes tired of looking from one to the other, you stood up. The dust on the box started to fly after you stood up, the flying dust was visible in detail in the window where the sun was shining.
You walked towards Dazai instead of Mori, walking from the shadowy part of the room as if you were afraid to touch the sunlight. Hearing your footsteps, Dazai started speaking as he came out of his endless thoughts.
''However, you made a mistake.'' He refused to make eye contact with Mori as he continued to stare at you. He began to caress your (h/c) hair shaped like spider legs. "It was wise to choose someone prone to suicide as your accomplice." The way he stroked your hair became painful as his words deepened, you could see the hidden anger in his eyes. ''But even though a year has passed, I'm still alive.'' He lifted his right hand and placed his palm on your cold cheek.
"I haven't made any mistake." Mori was looking at you two as he started talking, frowning as if he wanted to get you away from Dazai. "You and I have successfully completed our mission." He straightened his hunched back as he stood up.
Removing his hand from your cheek, Dazai smiled slightly as his jaw clenched. "The mission is not complete until those involved in the assassination are silenced." His smile fell and he bowed his head slightly. ''That's why I was the perfect accomplice,''
"Even if I were to end my life due to demotivation disorder, after you became the new boss, there would be no doubt left.''
There was a suffocating silence between the two of them again, the longer the silence the more confused you became. 'So Dazai-san has been here for a long time.' After making a note of this word in your mind, you turned to Mori, who had sat back down in his seat. You were so caught up in your thoughts that you failed to witness the conversation that had just taken place between the two of them, though it didn't matter anymore.
''Dazai-kun, why do you want to die?''
This question from Mori made your ears ring, your first conversation with Dazai came to your mind. 'So you have a reason to live in this world?' Who knows, maybe there is...
"Let me correct the question a little bit..." As the sparkle in his eye disappeared, he looked at you as if he knew what you were thinking. "So does life have any meaning?"
After Dazai saying that, Mori didn't make a sound even if he gave one of his disgusting grins. Dazai didn't neglect to give you a slight smile when he left, you would have liked to go with him because it was a thousand times better to stop with him than to stop with Mori.
Even so..
"There's something I need to talk to you about, (y/n)-kun...''
What a boring day to you, isn't it?..
