She stared at him wide eyed, not sure of what to say

"I... Thank you..."

Evening came, Chuuya, Dazai and Shion were sitting in the open patio, each wearing a yukata with a unique motif.

Dazai was teaching Shion to play Go, while Chuuya sipped some sake, each time he would complain that it wasn't wine

Dazai would then respond with a snarky comment and Shion would laugh.

At some point, Dazai had pity on him and told Chuuya he had brought a bottle from his newly restocked wine cellar

"God fucking damnit! Why didn't you say SO five cups ago!!!"

Chuuya stormed off searching for his wine bottle

"You didn't bring it, did you?"

For the first time in forever, Shion asked the question because she didn't actually know the answer, not because of social rules

"Oh~ I did bring it, but he will think I didn't~"

He moved a piece on the board and eyed Shion's hand which has been gripping his pinky finger since earlier

"After you basically destroyed his wine cellar he was devastated-" he leaned forward and put a hand up against his cheek

"I'm pretty sure he cried~!"
Shion tilted her head

"I didn't touch Chu- Father's cellar though?"

Dazai stared at her, perplexed

"What"

"I mean, I stole the medicines for my legs and the weapons, by the way write the labels in English next time... but I didn't touch the cellar"

She looked at him in the eyes, for a moment she forgot she couldn't read his thoughts

"Shion... if you didn't destroy the wine cellar-"

"-Who did and why"

She caught on quickly, good, they turned towards where Chuuya had disappeared to

"Other father... if I didn't touch the wine... and a third party is involved, then I must ask. Where did the wine father is drinking right now... come from?"
She asked him

A second, then they took off, they were no longer hearing Chuuya noisily searching for his wine.

Shion was faster, they followed the trail of broken items till they got to a opened Shoji

"I hid the wine there!" Dazai shouted breathlessly from behind her. He wasn't the running type.

Shion gasped, Chuuya was passed out on the ground, an empty bottle of red wine at his side

At the sound of wheels biting the street, Dazai didn't waste time, before Shion could process what was happening he turned off the lights and grabbed Shion, he put a hand over her mouth before she could protest
