Part 2. Chapter 12

Dazai was currently in the office of the Port Mafia with Fukuzawa. They had to assess the current situation and draw certain conclusions and actions. Everything happened so fast that they are now cornered. No one can trace the trail of escaped criminals from almost the whole world.

- What are we going to do? - Morey began, sitting in his chair. - we can't find them. Right now, my people are searching Yokohama to get on their trail. Did Dazai say that the manager of the Heavenly Casino also disappeared?

- Yes - Osamu nodded. - he's probably with them.

- I see... - He leaned back against the seat. - how difficult it is.

Indeed, the appearance of Dostoevsky has caused so many problems that even the Guild is in danger. Now they are divided into 2 parts, so everything can be even more complicated.

- What should we do?..- Morey sighed, closing his eyes.

- We need to find out the location of Dostoevsky.- Fukuzawa added. - Dazai, do you have Fyodor's things?

- M...The book that ended up in Lermontov's hideout.- Osamu began. - I recognized her right away. Dostoevsky read it in Meursault.

— great. - Yukichi said. - I have a friend who, with the help of the ability, can find the owners of objects by their smell. I'll get in touch with him.

— great. - Ogai smiled. - With such a powerful ability, we have a chance of success in this new war. And again, against Rats. - Mori's eyes snapped open and he turned to Osamu. - Dazai, are you busy right now?

- Not really...- the guy scratched his head. - What about it?

- I want to show you something.

- Don't you still remember the layout of our office? - Morey began. Now he was leading Osamu somewhere deep into the office of the Port Mafia.

- yes. - Dazai said with a hint of boredom in his voice. - I studied it while I was in prison. Then Chuya freed me and while I was free, I decided to look around.

- I see. - Ogai smiled. - then you guessed where I was taking you.

It wasn't like that. Dazai didn't know where Mori was taking him. This corridor must have been built recently.

- Do you remember how you met Chuya? - Morey asked sharply.

- yes. - Osamu replied warily. - what's the point of this question?

- The fact is that I found an interesting clue there. Although it cannot be called a clue, but it will help us against Fyodor. - Ogai stopped at the iron door. - Do you know what's in there?

- The place...Our first meeting with Chuya. - Osamu said slowly.

- That's right. Are you ready to remember the past?

The door opened and the guys appeared right where Hirotsu was while Nakahara was having a dialogue with Osamu.

- You said you found a way to find Dostoevsky, but can't you wait for the help of a familiar Boss? - Osamu asked.

- You know how we met and how many times we fought to the death and you still don't understand? - Morey smiled. - what if suddenly his acquaintance is one of the Rats? We don't know him by sight, and I'm sure he doesn't either.

- You're having inconsistencies. - Osamu noticed. - Even if we haven't seen such a gifted one, he is. He used to work as an assassin and was able to see many people, and therefore that friend during the execution of any mission.

- But it doesn't hurt to be careful.

- Your caution will drive you into a corner and no one will be able to save you. - Osamu said dryly.

- I have nothing to lose and I don't regret anything. - Morey replied calmly.

- You wanted to teach me how to create medicines that will help me die. - Dazai said even more dryly.

- Oh, you mean that. If this war ends, I will definitely teach you. Don't worry. - He smiled.

- and how many years are you going to lie to me?

- I can't say for sure. - He spoke after a few seconds. - we've retired from the case. Let's go.

- So!- Gogol shouted. - this is the plan! I'll make a fuss in the main office where the book is kept, and Dostoevsky will sneak into the right room and take it away!

- It sounds simple in words. - Sigma said thoughtfully. - it remains to decide how to bring this to life.

- You and Lermontov will help me with this! Meeting old friends, After so many years of separation, to put on a show makes me cry.

- Let's get to the point. - Mikhail intervened. - I'm sorry, Fyodor, but I won.

- No wonder.- Dostoevsky smiled. - I need to improve my poker skills. When Dazai and I were going to play this game, we were interrupted. What a shame. But even more annoying is that Dazai is still alive. I was hoping he would die.- Dostoevsky smiled. - it's a pity that Chuya wasn't infected.

- But it doesn't matter! Gogol shouted. - our plan is to lure Dazai there, and then you'll kill him!

- It turns out that this way we can get rid of the main problem... - Sigma said thoughtfully.

- It's a pity that we have to say goodbye to him. - Dostoevsky added wearily. - I will not be able to consider anyone else worthy of my attention and put on an equal footing with myself.

-I think so,- Lermontov intervened.- there will be such a person who will replace Osamu Dazai.
