Zongman: Complete Guide to Characters

"How about it? Are you interested in which bandage on my body? I can tell you its origins, okay?"

Dazai Osamu propped up his face and looked over with a smile.

As the other party narrowed his eyes, a loud explosion sounded from the warehouse behind him.

"It's so lively! Over there!" The young man covered his brow with his hands and looked into the distance, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Seeing his harmless look, Ye Yue's eyelids twitched instead, "Hmm... Big brother, do you want to die?"

"Man~" The boy turned around and looked at himself with a smile again.

"Why do you want to die?"

Dazai Osamu's nonchalant expression became more serious, and his casual posture was adjusted. "That's what I want to ask, what is the purpose of life? Is there any value in existence?"

The boy's voice was not as lively as before, but rather carried a hint of indifference and silence.

"Hey, little girl. So, what are you living for?" His expression changed quickly and he looked at her with some curiosity.

"There's no need for a special reason. Since you've been given life, just live it simply. It would be so troublesome if you deliberately commit suicide!" Her red eyes were misty and her lips were lightly pursed.

"Ahaha - you think so..." Dazai Osamu stroked his fluffy black hair, "A child of this age really doesn't think about the meaning of existence?"

Seeing the expression on the other person's face calm down, Ye Yue was afraid that this person would harm her, so she felt nervous and changed the topic again -

"Brother? Well, if you want to commit suicide, when I grow up and get tired of this world, we can commit suicide together, right?"

"Oh?"

Dazai Osamu looked over, half of her face was covered by bandages, and the exposed eye reflected her sincere face, "Well - it's good for a person to commit suicide with vigor, but if there is a beautiful woman who dies with me, it seems not bad either..."

"Then it's a deal! When I grow up, we'll commit suicide together!"

She clenched her pink fists happily, her eyebrows were curved, her eyes were bright red, and her delicate little face was full of innocence.

Wait a minute... what am I talking about? Suicide for love? Not good.

Her mouth moved faster than her brain, and she realized something was wrong the moment she spoke.

"Hey--"

Dazai Osamu changed from squatting to sitting cross-legged on the stone block, looked her up and down again, and suddenly smiled.

Seeing the other person's first smile so far, Yeyue felt relaxed.

In this way, at least I'm safe for the time being, right?

She was not afraid of being shot to death directly. At worst, she could use some system props to fake her death and get away with it.

At most you will consume some system points, but you can earn them back as long as there are targets to be conquered.

I'm afraid that this mentally ill person will find out that he, a mere ordinary person, has the protection of special powers, and then imprison himself and torture himself on the mental level.

In fact, spending points on self-defense items is actually a waste.

Points are what she uses to survive.

Unless an accident happened and she needed to defend herself, she was not willing to use any props.

The young boy looked at the younger girl with his eyes narrowed with a smile.

His brows were relaxed, the smile at the corners of his lips was clear and bright, and his handsome features exuded dazzling charm.

The young man was silent for a while, then opened his thin lips slightly.

However, Dazai Osamu's words were completely different from what Yeyue had thought, which was beyond her expectations.

Dazai Osamu's expression was bright, but his eyes were full of curiosity, "Are you actually afraid that I will kill you?"

Yeyue’s eyelids twitched violently, and her red eyes trembled continuously.

Dazai Osamu was like a cat playing with a mouse, with his eyes wide open, carefully observing her every expression.

The bright and brilliant smile on her face continued to expand.

"I……"

“Ahahahaha—” The young man, who looked no more than a teenager, laughed. He covered his stomach, his long eyelashes trembling. “So it is! There’s no need to be so scared! Haha! I’m not here to kill you!”

Huh?

Seeing the turn of events, Yeyue looked at him in surprise.

Just in time to meet Dazai Osamu's inquiring gaze, he did not avoid it, and blinked his purple eyes, "You think a lot at such a young age."

After he finished speaking, Dazai Osamu added, "And, I am very afraid of death."

Yeyue's mouth twitched.

Ask yourself, who else in this world, besides you, is not afraid of death?

"I am very afraid of death! But I also keep my promises! I will never break my promises to my brother."

"Is it?"

As if he was tired of laughing, Dazai Osamu leaned his hands on the stone block and looked down at her in a more casual posture.

"Yes! So before that, big brother, please live well and don't give up your life!"

"What if you don't want to die when you grow up?"

Dazai Osamu stroked his chin and pondered the possibilities in her words.

After a brief confrontation, he realized that although this girl looked innocent and cheerful, she was actually very cunning.

"If I don't want to die when I grow up, then I must have found the meaning of my existence. Then, when I grow up, I will accompany my grown-up brother to see the meaning of life I have found."

Well said!

Dazai Osamu shook his head, pointing out the flaw in her words, "I have seen too many people's meanings of life, and none of them is what I am looking for."

"Then from now on, I will look for more meaning in life that my brother can't touch. It will be different from my brother's world. It will probably be the more insignificant and inconspicuous ordinary will of ordinary people, but I will look for it! Until I grow up!!"

The girl said it firmly, and before Dazai was about to open his mouth again to point out the loopholes in her words, she smiled brightly and said, "At that time, can you please come with me to see everything I find?"

Dazai Osamu looked at her steadily, with a look of surprise in his eyes, "Hmm - I didn't expect that someone would persuade me to live in this way."

Dazai Osamu shrugged his shoulders with a nonchalant expression, and it was unclear how much he had heard.

"The eloquent young lady..."

The half-grown boy jumped off the stone pier, walked in front of her with an elegant posture, and took her hand. "If you want to pursue me, wait until you grow up a little, and then show me how to do it."

After he finished speaking, a gentleman's smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He kissed the back of her hand lightly.

After saying goodbye to the girl, Dazai Osamu walked towards the fighting area.

I came out to complete a mission, and not only was someone proposed to me, but I also found someone to accompany me in finding the meaning of life.

His eyes lit up, and he clenched his fist with one hand and knocked it on the palm of his other hand. Oh - could it be that I'm lucky today?

It was that little girl who seemed to be hiding something all the time. She said she was afraid of death, but in fact, compared to the fear and panic of ordinary people, that person's emotions were more like helplessness and reluctance.

What a weirdo.

Oh, right! After all this talk, the two sides haven’t even introduced each other’s names.

He suddenly remembered this incident and when he turned around, he found that the girl had disappeared.

——You run away so fast!

Then, Yeyue, who had already run half the distance and hid, heard a loud noise:

"Little Miss! I'm Dazai Osamu of the Port Mafia! Remember when you grow up! Come back - find me!!"

Yeyue, who was hiding in a corner, was instantly furious.
