Apologies and forgiveness for something unforgivable

Teaming up with enemies (2)

Yukichi Fukuzawa signed a piece of paper. It was the deal they had, written and summarized by Kunikida and Hirotsu. Then it was Mori Ogai's turn to sign but he didn't sign immediately: He controlled everything, looked through the contract sheet countless times. In the end he even handed it to Chuuya, Koyou, Verlaine and Akutagawa.

"That detective boy with the glasses is quite intelligent. I need to make sure that we don't get fooled another time."

Finally, after 10 minutes, he signed the contract with a curvy and medieval style looking handwriting.

"So, Fukuzawa, our opponent is probably using spies and uses people who are only partially involved in the matter. If we want to catch them all and press out some information, it's necessary to work in teams and work through the whole city."

"I, agree, and on your request I already made a list: Kyouka, you're going to work with Reiko Tsujimura (founded mafia assassin by me) and the mafia executive Paul Verlaine , the Black Lizard will make a team with Yosano. Kajii, Yumeno Kyusaku and will be teamed up with Kunikida (poor Kunikida will go insane ;) ) and Kenji and the Tanizaki's will work under Koyou Ozaki's guidance."

Chuuya, Dazai, Akutagawa and Atsushi:"Shit, I'll be forced to make a team with HIM again!"

"And of course Double Black and their apprentices will make a team."

The four young adults:"Noo, why?!"

Chuuya protested:"Please, Boss, why always me with that waste of bandages?! Just let me work alone for once!"

"I absolutely hate that tiger. Can't I at least work with a human being?",Akutagawa requested, mocking Atsushi on purpose.

"Huh?! What's that mean?! I am human. But you seem to be blind, you idiot!"

"C'mon, president, don't make my life worse than it already is by forcing me to team up with that shortie! My back hurts from leaning down!", Dazai sighed dramatically.

"No protest! This is how it is and it is the best way to deal with our troubles."Mori explained, leaving them no other choice but to accept their fate.

*1 hour later in the cafe with soukoku and shin soukoku*

"I can't believe we need to complete a mission together again, asshole!"

"Trust me, I don't like it either, Buddy."

"Buddy? In comparison to us, you two are a married couple.",Atsushi replied while looking at Akutagawa angrily.

"Hmmpf..."was the only thing Akutagawa said, nipping at his black coffee. The scent of the black haired drink got into Atsushi's nose, calming him down:

"But the mission is important, so what should we do?"

"I'd say Operation 365 is exactly what we need. What do ya think, Chibi~?"

"Don't call me that! I'm not your "Chibi"! But I think 365 suits the best too and you, Ryu?",Chuuya agreed.

"Hide and seek sounds good for me too"

"Wait, wait, wait, wait! WHAT?! Ryu?! What's that?! And what is Operation 365 or Hide and Seek? Could anyone have the loving kindness and explain what those things mean?!", Atsushi asked, completely confused because of the "Mafia Insiders".

"Hah! Did Dazai not tell you? We don't have time for jibber jabber. Akutagawa will explain it to you on your way. Let's go, Mackerel! See ya at the usual at 6!"
