lupin bar.
The bar was full of people.
A man with long silver hair, a woman with short hair with a butterfly pattern on her eye tail, a man wearing a hat and goggles, a pink-haired girl, a figure with a brown high ponytail, and vodka.
Everyone has a wine glass in front of them, and they drink quickly and neatly.
Tiamali was already lying on top of Peno in a daze. Peno was quiet and motionless. It was hard to tell whether he was drunk, but he never touched the wine in front of him or raised his head.
Chianti was obviously drunk and kept urging the bartender to speed up the serving of wine.
Cohen sat aside, his face flushed under his goggles, his eyes blurred, and he had fallen into a sluggish state.
Vodka huddled in the corner holding the bottle and refused to come out.
"Ha." Gin looked at the performance of this group of people and sneered.
I don’t know where these guys heard that Gin has a good drinking capacity. No one in the organization can drink better than him. They can live well without eating and just smoking and drinking.
So this group of people formed a group to compete with Gin.
The result...needless to say.
Gin had never been drunk, not since...that incident.
Getting drunk was already an unattainable thing for him.
When Gin realized something was wrong with his situation and wanted to get rid of the influence, he tried drinking to numb himself before choosing to self-mutilate.
It's just that I can't get drunk at all.
No matter how strong the wine is, the same is true.
"Gin." A low, somewhat familiar voice came from behind him.
The man with long silver hair put down his wine glass and turned his head slightly to look.
Then I saw a figure.
Red scarf, black coat, bandage wrapped around his left eye.
It's very similar to Kaa, but there are some differences in details, and...
The other party was clearly an adult man.
"...What tricks does Kaa want to play again?" Gin asked in a calm voice.
Is it Osamu Dazai in white who has changed his attire? Or a new android?
"That Dazai Osamu is dead." The man wearing a red scarf looked at the bar where there were no more seats, and chose to stand aside and spoke.
"I'm the new Osamu Dazai." His tone was natural, as if he was saying that the weather is nice today.
Gin pushed the wine glass in front of him further away.
"How did you die?" he asked.
Kaa wouldn't let his android die so easily, so why did it die?
What new way did that kid come up with?
"It's a bit tiring to explain. Maybe you would like to watch a video?" The man wearing a red scarf had a low and calm voice, but he had an air that a superior person could not refuse.
Without waiting for Gin's answer, he handed over a mobile phone.
Gin took the phone and saw a big show through the phone.
On the rooftop, black and white confront each other.
The boy in black shot the man in white.
In the end, they even poured oil and set fire to burn the other party to death.
And he also showed a typical psychotic laugh.
When people see it, they can't help but have the idea of finding a psychiatrist for the other person or simply sending the other person to a mental hospital.
"...What is he playing again? Who is he playing for?"
There was no sound in the video, but through the movements of their lips, Gin still understood the content of their conversation.
Lines that are as ridiculous as acting.
At first glance, you can tell it's an improvisation by that kid.
It’s just that the audience for this performance is unknown.
"It's the FBI." The man wearing a red scarf said.
"Boring brat." Gin commented.
You can obviously kill those FBI directly, but you have to perform these ridiculous plots in front of them.
It's enough to show how boring Kaa is.
"So, why did you come to me?" Gin's eyes fell on the red scarf Dazai Osamu, and asked in a low and sinister voice.
It doesn't matter even if there is a new Osamu Dazai, he is still an android, or rather... he is just a tool.
Wouldn't it be nice to continue doing Osamu Dazai's mission?
Why did you find him?
"I succeeded in usurping the throne." The man wearing a red scarf spoke in a low voice.
"...What did you say?" Gin was stunned for a moment, then slowly revealed a murderous smile.
A bionic man said that he succeeded in usurping the throne? Did he kill Kaa? Want to completely replace Kaa?
Even if it is a lifeless android... as long as it is disabled, it is no different from death.
"I am now the leader of the organization. By the way, your expression is very good, and it is as interesting as what he said." The man wearing a red scarf said.
The smile on Gin's face became more and more ferocious.
"He asked you to be the leader?" Gin asked word for word.
What does that brat think of the organization? Actually appointed a leader?
Even if the person doted on the other person to the point of being lawless, he was too arrogant because of his favor.
"Yeah." Dazai Osamu, who wore a red scarf, seemed a bit taciturn.
So Gin took out his cell phone and sent a message to a certain brat who was proud of his favor.
[What makes you think you can appoint a leader? ——gin (gin)]
Tsujima Shuji, who was lying on the sofa in the apartment watching TV on the other side, received this message.
He was silent for a moment, typed a line of words and went out.
[Perhaps you can ask that person what he thinks? ——cahors (Cahors)]
Gin frowned at the news.
Based on that person's level of indulgence towards Kaa, he wasn't quite sure how that person would answer.
But he still sent the message tentatively.
[Kaa wants the android he created to be the leader. ——gin (gin)]
The person who replies to messages is always very fast, as if there is a dedicated person responsible for replying messages.
[Do as he says. 】
There is no signature, because that person does not need a code name or signature.
[The only one I consider to be the successor is Xiuji, but if he wants to... just think of that android as the acting leader. 】
Gin looked at the message and felt a numb calmness in his heart.
That person's attitude towards Kaa was indeed not the most conniving, only more conniving.
The only recognized heir was Kaa, but Kaa wanted to arrange for someone else to be the leader, and he would not refuse, but he did not want to admit it, so he gave him the status of acting leader.
"How's it going?" Osamu Dazai in the red scarf looked at him calmly.
"What do you want to do after you become the leader?" Gin put away his phone and asked in a cold voice.
"What does the leader usually do?" The man with a white bandage on his left eye just asked.
Gin didn't know how to answer for a moment.
That person doesn't take care of things very much, and his attitude toward the organization can be said to be a freewheeling attitude. Otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed Renye Karasuma and Rum to do so many things through the organization.
But yet... he unknowingly controls the overall situation.
This approach is actually the same as Kaa, who seems to care about nothing, but actually knows everything.
"...controlling the situation behind the scenes." So Gin replied.
"Me too." The black-haired man replied with a slight nod.
Then he turned around and left.
It took Gin three seconds to figure out that the other person's "me too" meant that the other person would also be a leader who controlled the situation behind the scenes, that is... a leader who usually doesn't do anything.
He doesn't show up, doesn't give orders, and doesn't even exist in the eyes of many people.
After all, they can only see the leader who gave the order.
That... shield.
Gin turned his head and continued to drink.
He was too lazy to get involved in Kaa's little brat's games.
