Wan! Chapter 21

Atsushi Nakajima Plots (中島敦、画策する,) is the 21st chapter of the Bungo Stray Dogs Wan! manga.

Summary
As a new member of the Agency, Atsushi admits being constantly astonished by Dazai in various ways. He then decides to come up with a plan that shall leave Dazai astonished. With no idea how to do so, he consults with his fellow members.

Kunikida finds it foolish on how Atsushi wishes to surprise Dazai, though he soon recommends putting some deadly poison on his food. Ranpo chides Atsushi for asking Kunikida and instead advises him, to make Dazai astonished, to not be surprised with him next time, though Atsushi ponders how such idea does not apparently solve anything. Yosano mistakes Atsushi's seekings as a plot of revenge for Dazai, with which he corrects her that he merely wants to surprise Dazai.

Atsushi thinks back to when they first met at the riverbank, confirming his motive that he does not wish to enact revenge on Dazai at all. Later on, Atsushi approaches Dazai along the streets and gives him a bouquet of flowers. Atsushi thanks him for always taking care of him, while Dazai is utterly surprised and damaged by the words he is not used to hearing.

Back at the office, Kunikida remarks on Dazai's "amazing expression" and asks Atsushi if he was responsible for it, but he is puzzled with the situation himself and says that he did not do anything unusual.
