[Okay. So far, so good. Chuuya seems to be showing him a bare minimum of respect, and that's a hell of a lot more than Atsushi ever counts on. Atsushi gives a solemn nod in reply, appreciating Chuuya's attitude in general. Lead the way, Atsushi does.

Even with everything going all right, Atsushi's thoughts are racing. What if this is some kind of trick, after all? What if Chuuya goes nuts and tries to destroy the whole Armed Detective Agency? He doesn't seem the type to kill people in their sleep, but who really knows with the mafia? To be as safe as he can be, Atsushi walks them to Akutagawa first. Better to get the first emotions over with on a former ally and gauge Chuuya's reaction than to take him right to Dazai and risk whatever.

I'm not sure how long exactly. You'll understand that weren't very close.
