Rhythm Of Love || Bungou Stray Dogs || Chuuya x Reader

Everyone travelled for another few days before actually reaching a village.

You quickly found out that everyone has their own bags of something. Mostly clothes, but Yonsano obviously has her weapons and Dazai has his suicide book collection.

The only horses you guys kept were Taniyama and Kishou, obviously. The two carry so many memories. So whether you liked it or not, you were going to keep them both.

Actual medical equipment was bought that day. As well as tents, though some may have to share tents together. Trick is, they didn't give you money. It was a barter system.

For the most part, Kenji handled the bartering very well. He quickly made friends with the village and got everything cheap. Chuuya received two suits for the trade of a horse. The price was surprisingly fair, considering suits are hard to make and take a bit of material. All the tents were given with another horse. And then the medical equipment took another horse.

"What else would we need..." You mumble.

"(f/n), you need clothes too." Tanizaki points out.

"Oh! This person's willing to give you clothes and a net!"

"A net?"

"Nets are super useful..."

"I-I'm not doubting you, Kenji..." You let out a sigh, "Well, I don't really need anything flashy. If nobody figures out who I am, then we're safer." Everyone nods in agreement.

You were given clothes and a net and everyone else decided to trade whatever they seemed necessary for survival. You can only hope the equipment will come in handy in the future.

You made an agreement with someone. If you traded them two horses, they would give you as many apples as you wanted. That way, you can easily feed Taniyama and Kishou, and they could breed the horses to have more.

Everyone has to travel by foot now, the horses being led along by the reigns as they carry all the equipment. Thankfully, your training was harder than everyone traveling for long amounts of time.

A few hours later you hear the sound of rushing water.

"A river?" Yosano questions.

"No, it sounds too strong to be one." Ranpo points out.

"It's a waterfall." Dazai smiles and a massive clearing comes into view.

It's a barren spot of land, the water spilling over the edge of the cliff. You could see fish fall down through the roaring water.

"Well, I found our food source.." Atsushi jokes weakly. You smile.

"We can easily make this work."

The rest of the day was spent setting up camp. For now, this would be the permanent base. That is, until you guys could find a better location.

For the past few days you spend your time looking over the waterfall.

The issue with Chuuya had really weighed you down, and the running away bit of your life has been consuming you since the beginning. Now that everyone's settled in you can actually clear your mind and think things through.

'I mean... Four months of false information? He could have died if they ever found out...' You bite your lip. 'But the least he could have done was tell me everything in the first place...'

Most of the time you were just pulling out hair. The other part you were actually thinking. Nonetheless, everyone knew they should give you your space.
