0591 Akutagawa Ryuunosuke/Side Stories/English

## Part 1

Somewhere in Yokohama

At an aquariumー

**Akutagawa Ryuunosuke**:
...Come on, Gin.

**Gin**:
Yes... Brother?

~Flashback~

**Gin**:
The... aquarium?

**Akutagawa Ryuunosuke**:
The Boss is coming here for leisure, we are to escort him.

**Akutagawa Ryuunosuke**:
Although I did tell him that the Black Lizards, or me on my own, would suffice...

**Akutagawa Ryuunosuke**:
He ordered me to come together with you and pretend to be a customer, so as not to raise suspicion.

**Gin**:
...Why must we pretend to be customers...?

**Akutagawa Ryuunosuke**:
I do not know what the Boss's intentions are... I am merely obeying orders.

**Gin**:
...

**Gin**:
...Understood.

~End flashback~

**Akutagawa Ryuunosuke**:
There does not seem to be anyone particularly suspicious...

**Akutagawa Ryuunosuke**:
However, this dark interior is perfect for a surprise attack.

**Akutagawa Ryuunosuke**:
(Due to this unusual environment...)

**Akutagawa Ryuunosuke**:
(We must have an understanding of what we can use if the time come.)

**Akutagawa Ryuunosuke**:
These large water tanks will come in handy with restraining enemy movement.

**Gin**:
... With this much darkness, we could even take on a surprise attack.

**Gin**:
... But even if we were taken by surprise, I'm sure you would not miss a beat, Brother...

**Akutagawa Ryuunosuke**:
...

**Akutagawa Ryuunosuke**:
Our job is to identify and eliminate any assassins.

**Akutagawa Ryuunosuke**:
This impractical walkway is pratically an opening for assassins. Let's make this quick.

**Gin**:
...

**Gin**:
... Brother, please wait one moment.

**Akutagawa Ryuunosuke**:
...?

## Part 2

**Akutagawa Ryuunosuke**:
... What's the matter, Gin?

**Akutagawa Ryuunosuke**:
Did you see something suspicious?

**Gin**:
No... It's not about assassins.

**Gin**:
Erm... This is an aquarium, so...

**Gin**:
Is it not strange if we, as customers, don't look at the fish?

**Akutagawa Ryuunosuke**:
... You have a point.

**Akutagawa Ryuunosuke**:
... But I have little understanding of fish species and watching them swim in these tanks does not move me in any way either...

**Gin**:
... That is fine.

**Gin**:
... I think we could appear more convincing if we... made small talk while looking at the tanks.

**Akutagawa Ryuunosuke**:
Then let us do so... But stay on alert.

**Gin**:
... Roger!

**Gin**:
Oh- Brother, look at that fish... It's so beautiful.

**Akutagawa Ryuunosuke**:
It is.

**Gin**:
What a peculiar fish... Perhaps it's from the deep sea... It's body is translucent.

**Akutagawa Ryuunosuke**:
It looks rather creepy.

**Gin**:
Wow... I didn't know fish could get this big...

**Akutagawa Ryuunosuke**:
It seems a little cramped in this tank... But it is a sight to see.

**Gin**:
Fufu...

**Akutagawa Ryuunosuke**:
... What's wrong?

**Gin**:
Nothing... I know we're on a mission, but... We haven't been out together like this in a while, so I'm glad we're here.

**Akutagawa Ryuunosuke**:
...

**Akutagawa Ryuunosuke**:
Don't let your guard down until the mission is complete.

**Akutagawa Ryuunosuke**:
This route is about to end.

**Gin**:
... I know.

## Part3

**Gin**:
The route ended, but...

**Akutagawa Ryuunosuke**:
... I see, so now it's the exit and the gift shop?

**Akutagawa Ryuunosuke**:
There's been no sign of assassins or the like, so far.

**Gin**:
No... Just a somewhat eerie feeling.

**Akutagawa Ryuunosuke**:
I thought so too... But our current mission ends here.

**Akutagawa Ryuunosuke**:
The Boss should be here soon.

**Akutagawa Ryuunosuke**:
Until then, we wait.

**Gin**:
... Understood.

**Akutagawa Ryuunosuke**:
(Slow and uneventful... That was not much of a mission at all...)

**Akutagawa Ryuunosuke**:
(Missions should be brief and intense, after all...)

**Akutagawa Ryuunosuke**:
(But even then, walking around and looking at fish...?)

**Akutagawa Ryuunosuke**:
(Perhaps I was a little slack.)

**Gin**:
...

**Akutagawa Ryuunosuke**:
... Gin? Did you see something suspicious in the gift shop?

**Gin**:
Ah- No, it's nothing...

**Akutagawa Ryuunosuke**:
(Were you distracted... by the dolls?)

**Akutagawa Ryuunosuke**:
(... I see I was not the only one slacking.)

**Akutagawa Ryuunosuke**:
(Hmph... It seems a break like this will not be necessary for a while now.)

**Akutagawa Ryuunosuke**:
(... To me, there is no such thing as time that can be wasted.)

**Gin**:
... Um, Brother.

**Gin**:
It looks like the Boss has arrived at the exit...

**Akutagawa Ryuunosuke**:
... It appears so.

**Akutagawa Ryuunosuke**:
Time to report in.

**Akutagawa Ryuunosuke**:
Let's go, Gin.

**Gin**:
... Yes, Brother.

Fin.
