Author~chan's POV~

when Dazai hung up the phone on the other line, the other members of the Agency could not stop crying when they found out the truth about what happened to the wear-tiger, their legs that had been standing for a long time wobbled and fell on the floor and cried out loud

Kyouka who could not believe that her beloved sister was kidnapped by that man and hugged Yosano's waist, saying over and over what they would do. but others will admit that they also do not know what to do

and besides, they are not allowed to rush immediately wherever that man is hiding, right? they heard what Dazai said on the phone and clearly.

they must first find a way to save Atsushi, and if they need to join their mortal enemies just to save their beloved wear-tiger. there is nothing they can do if that is what Dazai wants, as long as they only think of rescuing Atsushi away from that crazy man

"w-we have n-no time" said Tanizaki trying to stop his tears from dripping down his cheeks, his hands helping his sister to stand up properly so that she would not fall again

his eyes looked at his other friends who just stared at him in shock but nodded

"We don't want Dazai-san to wait long, do we?" Tanizaki tried to smile and slowly walked out the door of their agency with Naomi who did not stop crying while hugging him

the others just sighed again and followed behind the two siblings, in less than a few minutes and they had already left the building, they all got into a van and got in there and quietly drove to Dazai's said destination, while they sat in their own seats, with no desire to speak and only the mind they are on Atsushi

it's their fault why Atsushi was kidnapped, if they just watched the wear-tiger carefully and didn't scare it wouldn't happen. it will not happen like this

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~

when they reached their destination, they slowly got out of the car and looked at the large building in front of them. Yosano who held Kyouka tightly because he knew the girl was from Port Mafia and also had trauma

their eyes fell on the figure who walked over to them, and they were right, Dazai was that guy while there were files in his hand, which they think was the reason why Dazai disappeared for a few days in their Agency, because they know he is also looking for information just like them

"follow me" said Dazai and gave a fake smile to them all

all of them just quietly followed Dazai who still did not speak even one of them, they knew that Dazai was just trying to calm down and just smile. but inside they knew in themselves that Dazai was also hurt and angry

as they walked into the Port Mafia, Dazai took them to one of the elevators and pressed one of its buttons. until it moves, to their surprise they saw the whole area around Yokohama where they stood, the buildings, the high roads, and so on. they did not think that this building was so beautiful and large

well they will no longer wonder why it is so big and beautiful, because it is Port Mafia! they are the rich criminals, and they think every piece of furniture and room here will be just as expensive

"it is not your fault what happened to Atsushi-kun" Dazai blurted leaning against the mirror behind him

others snapped his eyes at him wondering how Dazai knew what was on their minds

"ah~ sorry if I didn't get back to the Agency right away, I just got information about that man" Dazai shook his head and handed the files to Kunikida

"I think you know he used to work under the Port Mafia and Francis, and 5 years ago he took a lot of kids and killed them in a brutal way.  also the information I got from him was very little, because everything about him was too hard to find" Dazai narrowed his eyes at them and pointed to the files in Kunikida's hand

"move the paper to the other page" command of Dazai

Kunikida just looked at Dazai awkwardly but also moved the paper to the other page

"what the?!" 

Kunikida's eyes widened as he saw the picture full of dead children and full of blood in every part, while there was a sign on the back that said 'I will find you' written in blood

Kunikida just looked at the paper in front of him without taking his eyes off the poor lifeless children

How crazy is that man?! he killed more than a hundred children, but why didn't the police arrest him or anything?! and he must be in jail now! but why is he still walking now as if he did nothing wrong in the past?!

"I got that picture from someone, you can see there the children over a hundred are dead. and there is also a sign on the wall written in blood" Dazai remarked and retrieved the files from his friend's hand and placed them behind him

"and all of that is connected to Atsushi-kun, we know in ourselves that we met her 5 years ago right? and at the same time it was only then that the police discovered about the children who died, we were lucky because we met Atsushi-kun immediately then, because if not, maybe until now she is still in the hands of that man" 

"but before that happened, Atsushi-kun came from the orphanage but he also ran away because of the abusive people there" Dazai added

Yosano's eyes snapped at him "if she came from an orphanage why did she run away there? wouldn't she be safer there if she just stayed there?" Yosano asked, still not understanding

Dazai just looked at her seriously for a few seconds "Do you think Atsushi-kun would stay in that orphanage if all those people abused her like an animal and raped her over and over again?" 

BA-DUM!

BA-DUM!

BA-DUM!

"a-ah!" each of them suddenly fell to panic

Atsushi, their beloved wear-tiger. has suffered like that?

their hearts sank as they thought of Atsushi's condition, crying, screaming for help. she is just a child who needs to be taken care of! she is too innocent. she was very kind

she has an angel soul that she can forgive people who have made mistakes with her, but it all seems to be too much for her to endure all that pain, why? why is destiny so bad for her?

they don't understand, why didn't they just take all that pain for Atsushi? they can no longer see Atsushi suffer like that, if they have to take it all and get hurt, they can endure it just for Atsushi

they can endure all that as long as it is just for their beloved wear-tiger

DING!

when the elevator rang, Dazai just sighed and looked at his friends

"I know it hurts to know about Atsushi-kun's past, but we can do nothing to change all that right?" Dazai asked and looked at everyone with a worried expression

"so get up, because we will save Atsushi-kun"
