The crime story of sanguinary fruits | Bungou Stray Dogs

Chapter 2

Not much later, Dazai, Kunikida, Naomi, Tanizaki, dr Yosano, Ranpo and Atsushi were riding in cars, towards the milice office, which the video came from. The silence, taking over the space wasn't even noticable. They all were closed in their minds, dealing with their own noise.

When they arrived, no one wanted to lose any second before knowing the solustion of this weird case. Before seeing Kyouka again, understanding what happened and clearing her from the burden of crime, whether she committed it or not.

They got out of the cars instantly.

They didn't even come into the building, suddenly they heard steep turmoil behind their back. They automatically turned their heads in that direction. What they saw, stopped their heartbeats.

Near to them, on the opposite side of the street, Snow White Demon attacked a man, walking the street.

It pinned him with a closed sword, ready to kidnap him in a moment. The attacked didn't wait idly. Light started winking around him and there a flaming sword appeared in his hand. He disengaged by goring the demon, and he planted another cut towards Kyouka. She jumped back, extending her hand towards him, with her fingers upright. In that moment, the man stopped instantly, in front of her. When the demon attacked once again, he made the flame fade away of his weapon, and changed the sword into a double hilt, with no blade.

It didn't last any longer. The members of the Agancy appeared there. Dr Yosano used her blade and locked the demon, while Dazai touched Kyouka's hand. Her ability vanished.

Osamu held her, wringing her wrist.

'Kyouka, what are you doing?' He shouted.

In one moment, his eyes fell a little belower the eyes of the girl. His face cover the expression of astonishment.

On Kyouka's palm, on the fingers there was a sign, a picture of a raspberry.

Kyouka made of the second, when Dazai was staring on it, puzzleheaded. In a flash, she punched him once more, disengaged from his grip and ran. After just few steps, a black fog started to cover her. In a few seconds, she dissolved into thin air.

When after a while, Dazai turned to his friend, he found them already talking to the attacked strenger.

He had blond, styled hair. His green, mysterious eyes, seem do be deep like Mariana Tench. He was handsome, and his face was, from afar, expressing something a lot unique.

'Thank you for your help. And thank you, that you didn't hurt her.' He said with nice, but solemn, consistent voice.

Osamu didn't even pay heed to his friend's reaction. He neared to him and deeply, darkly said:

'You know something, don't you?'

Everyone from the Agency looked at him surprised. They conveyed their eyes to the strenger, waiting for his answer.

'What do you mean?' He asked, piercing him with his eyes.

'You know something about the raspberry ability. And about this attack. And what is going on in this town. I'm not accusing you of anything, just asking.

In blondhaired's eyes, just as in most's of the present, rivet wonder. The empty silence stopped dr Yosano.

'Adding to that question, you got me curious.' She said with easy admire. 'You disengaged from Snow White Demon's hands. After a surprising attack, you are neither dead or kidnapped, not even scared. Most of all, you own an ability, unknown in whole Japan. Who are you?'

The corners pf his lips moved up, but soon they got stopped by solemnity. He has pondered for a moment

'Are you the Armed Detective Agency?' He asked, not revealing a thing in his tone. 'Do you know that ability user?' He added, while making a gesture, showing right away that he was talking about Kyouka.

'Doppo Kunukida.' Kunikida introdusted himself a bit hurriedly and showed him his identifier of the Agency. 'That girl is our friend. She's also one of us.'

'Nice to meet you.' Said the collocutor. After that he showed to Kunikida his entitlement docoment. 'I am one of the free detectives of the European elite. The more, we don't have to treat each other so formally. We are one team, aren't we?' He said with a smile on his face. 'The reason why I'm here isn't actually 《proffecional》. I came here in search of someone. But, since this happened, maybe I can also turn useful? I know what happened to your friend.' He declared with idyllic seriousness. 'Or more likely, who is responsibile for that.'

Over the members of the Agancy went a stir. Allthough they have expected thease words, they felt curiousity, cheer and relief.

'Who is it? Will you help us to catch them?' Asked dr Yosano.

'Of course. Allthough, I don't know him very well. But the one I'm looking for, knows closely everything about him.'

'So, it's decided.' Dazai smiled. 'We'll willingly help you in your search. Well, it's our city. And we'll be able to return the favor. As friends, we will accept some support in our case.'

The blondhaired smiled friendly. He looked on Dazai and his eyes shined with cordiality and optimism.

He gave him five.

'My name is Henryk Sienkiewicz.'

'Dazai Osamu.' He shook it.
