Bungou Stray Dogs: Tainted Future [HIATUS]

Reason 13: A Feast to Deliver

Armed Detective Agency
Hinatsuri, Dazai and Kunikida

"Aghhh! So unmotivated!" I looked up from my book and saw Osamu-nii lazing in his couch. Yawning, I turned to Kunikida-san who was glancing at my brother curiously. I was sure he was curious as to why he was so slouchy today. I tuned them out knowing that they will banter again. The book I was reading was the same one I had while I was chatting with Chuuya-san if you readers were wondering.

I was almost at the climax when I heard Kunikida-san shout. Slamming my book, I glared at the obnoxious man. He was disrupting my precious time. It better be for a good reason. Osamu-nii chuckled at my look, and I secretly asked what was happening.

"Kunikida-kun just found out that I'm a former Port Mafia member." He casually replied. I gave them both a blank stare. Kunikida-san raised an inquiry if I already knew about it.

"Of course I do. My father is part of Port Mafia and please do remember that is was Osamu-nii who basically adopted me. Now, if you have nothing else to say, please keep quiet. I'm already at the climax of my book." I turned around and returned back to my seat. I opened the book once again but was interrupted when Atsushi tried to peek about what it was. In order to get him off my back, I slammed it in front of his face, smiled and left.

Osamu-nii will text me about the details later. The cafe below was cozier and more quiet than here.

Chuuya and Mori

"How many casualties?" Mori asked Chuuya. The red head sighed and informed him that they lost 18 direct members. A hundred if they were going to consider their sub-organizations. It irked him to admit that if it was not for Dazai's nullification ability, they would lost 10 times than what they had now.

Mori had a forlorn look on his face while muttering how disgraceful it was for a lot of people to die under his watch. Just then, the front doors opened and came a young lady holding a Japanese parasol. It was Kōyō. The two welcomed her back. With a smile, she told them that Dazai had let her off with a letter to deliver. Mori was curious about such letter.

"I believe that they want to have a tea party with you." She said. Chuuya raised an eyebrow at that. The boss just smiled, realizing what they were up to. Memories flashed within his mind, still remembering how he killed the boss himself with Dazai as his witness. He wondered what about now.

The boss turned to Chuuya, suddenly remembering his request. Humbly, he replied back to him that there was no information on the girl. He also wanted to pass Dazai's message about her.

"Hoh~ Protective of her, isn't he? However, that girl just continues to lavish my mind. It's too sad that she's a little older than my Elise." He let out a dissatisfied sigh. Chuuya knew of the tendencies of Mori Ogai. It was immoral, but he was still his boss. He, however, will heed to Dazai's words. Only for now. There was something about that girl that was needed to be hidden. Something drastic and dangerous, like how he was before.

'You certainly catch the eyes of the eccentric people around you, Hinatsuri.'

Hinatsuri and Dazai

"Hina? We'll be going out now. I'm pretty sure you already know about it. I'll send you the summary later. Is there something you need?" Osamu-nii asked after shaking me out of my dream land. I blinked and yawned, trying to clear my head of the sleep.

"Earl Grey? I drank the last bag yesterday. Also, please do your own laundry once you get home. It's your turn." Still feeling the wave of sleepiness, I dropped my head and slept away. I could hear him chuckle though before patting my head with his good hand.
