Reliving Memories (Soukoku)

Chapter 7

"Dazai forgotten to call me again yesterday." The raven haired grumbled as the purple haired chuckled.

"Mori's obviously overworking him."

Ranpo nodded in agreement when the blonde who was listening to the conversation added, "Well, at least he'll be returning to the ADA today."

Everyone finally felt at ease, well except Ranpo. He always had a gut feeling which was unfortunately always precisely accurate. He frowned when he heard the light footsteps approaching the office. They sure were from the mafia, trained to skillfully hide their presence.

Ranpo leaped to his feet to walk to the meeting room and the rest following so when they noticed the raven haired.

Almost immediately, the main door to the ADA office slammed open rather roughly as the blonde adjusted his glasses, giving a warning glare to the raven haired who entered first, followed by his executives.

Mori ignored the glare directed towards him and quickly paced to the meeting room. He knew Fukuzawa was going to try something funny but it didn't matter, he came prepared.

Kunikida stood at the entrance of the meeting room, welcoming the guests reluctantly. 

Behind Mori like the previous meeting, port mafia's sword woman bowed gracefully and apologised for her boss's aggressiveness. The famous gravity manipulator passed the blonde swiftly with no words exchanged, trying hard to not snicker at the blonde's annoyed expression.

The blonde's eyes lit up when he noticed the brunette who had slowly entered behind the ginger, not even giving Kunikida a glance. The blonde's smile faltered when he saw the black coat draped on the brunette's shoulders. It suited him in a negative way. 

Instead of his usual attire, he was wearing a suit along with the mafia's iconic black coat. Not even the brunette's footsteps made a sound, he passed by Kunikida so fast, so solemnly that the blonde had to regain his composure before entering the meeting room and closing the door behind him.

Taking another glance at the brunette, the blonde couldn't help but feel a shiver down his spine. The rumours weren't lying. The brunette though slightly slouched on one of the chairs, he gave out a dominating aura which the blonde never felt before.

Must be the coat was what Kunikida forced himself to think as he sat himself down before glancing at Fukuzawa and Ranpo.

The raven haired was utterly silent, not a single sweet or snack in his hands as he let his head rest on the back seat of the chair, obviously observing the brunette. He had only talked to Dazai but never physically saw him.

Two weeks in the mafia and this? It was a rather big and dramatic change to Ranpo. The grey haired chose to ignore Ranpo's reaction and his mouth parted about to start but Mori cut him off. He knew the rest of the ADA members thought so too, especially Yasano who wasn't giving a care about the glare on her face directed to Mori. Atsushi looked nervously around the room, attempting to not stare at the brunette.

"Fukuzawa-dono, can we make this quick? I'm a busy man and time is precious. What do you possibly need currently that such a meeting has been called upon?"

The grey haired man shut his eyes for a few seconds before opening them and speaking, "I, speaking on behalf of the ADA would like to redraw Dazai back from the mafia."

Kunikida and Ranpo were quick to glance at Dazai but were slightly surprised to see no reaction from the brunette. The same cold gaze and his aura didn't even falter as he sat there unfazed. However, the ginger beside the brunette was looking worriedly at the brunette and at his own boss.

Ranpo was expecting the widening of eyes or at least a retort from the port mafia boss but when he noticed none, he immediately knew something was wrong as he tugged at Fukuzawa's sleeve underneath the desk. The grey haired man clenched his fists as he sighed to himself. This wasn't going to be easy.

"May I ask why?"

The grey haired male frowned as he continued, "As you know, unlike the mafia the ADA have only a handful of staff members. A sole member being absent does cause us a lot of trouble. However, I am not the type to go back on my words. The contract did state temporarily and two weeks is temporary."

The raven haired only gave a smile that gave none of his thoughts or plans away, leaving Ranpo to desperately think of what the raven head was thinking.

"I find that will not be possible."

The grey haired male was about to retort but he bit his lip when the port mafia boss's arm outstretched to the ginger who got the signal and immediately pulling out a contract paper as Mori's smile turned to a smirk, slamming the paper down, making everyone jerk in surprise.

"If you'll be kind enough to read the contract."

Ranpo, with quick hands, snatched the paper as he quickly skimmed through the paper, Fukuzawa waiting patiently for the awaiting bad news.

A sigh as the Ranpo glanced at the brunette who gave no response.

"This is ridiculous. In what part of the contract does it state that could make an ADA's employee a contract behind out backs."

Fukuzawa frowned, gently taking the paper and reading it himself. He couldn't help but allows his eyes to widen.

"Dazai...Did you sign this?"

The rest of the ADA members looked anxiously at their president as the brunette leaned forward, arms resting on the table as Mori looked expectantly at him.

"Yes, I did."

Everyone shivered at the cold tone that the brunette directed to Fukuzawa.

Mori's proud gaze glanced among the ADA members.

"With that contract, Dazai-kun will be under the port mafia for the n3xt five years."

Everyone gasped as Yasano stood up, slamming her hands on the table.

"You bastard, what do you think you're doing. Dazai belongs to the ADA, not the port mafia."

"From now on..."

Everyone's attention turned to the brunette as they waited expectantly for the brunette to retort back.

However, their eyes widened when he brunette continued, "I'm in the port mafia which means you're my enemies. There's nothing else to discuss. Mori-san..."

The brunette glanced at the raven haired who couldn't hide the big grin on his face, his demon prodigy always surprised him, "We can leave."

The brunette stood up, leaving the meeting room as Mori hummed in content.

"Well, you heard my right hand man so we'll be taking our leave. Thank you very much..."

The raven haired smirked at the ADA members, "for the discussion..."
