[A few days ago, my father talked about my hometown to me. I actually didn’t listen to anything when he was talking. The period of time was not completely wasted. I suddenly found that even the most serious person, such as my father, would change from three folds to two folds when talking about his hometown.

My father mistakenly thought that I was very interested in the hometown where I had only spent three or two days of childhood, so he hurriedly bought a Shinkansen ticket, and wanted to take my mother and I to the countryside to escape the summer heat and relive childhood memories.Sitting on the seat of the Shinkansen, looking at the whistling scene through the glass window, I thought: the station bento here is really delicious. ]

—— "Human Things. Hometown"

Akemi Kobayakawa knew that she was not a person who liked reading very much, and she was even less interested in literary works.If she puts a bunch of paper books in front of her, the first choice for her is definitely comics.

[When I was a child, I didn’t have much time to read manga and comic books. Now my obsession with manga is expected to be a favorite, but it’s more like making up for lost childhood. ]

She was sitting by the window, resting her chin on her left hand, and the scenery outside the window flew by. A family building in the countryside of Kyushu, walls of different heights, telephone poles, and many scenery flashed by in front of her eyes one after another.

The surname Kobayakawa originally came from Kyushu. Her father grew up here, and Akemi Kobayakawa spent winter and summer vacations in the countryside of Kyushu from kindergarten to elementary school. Saga is the name of her hometown.Looking at the scenery outside the window, I somehow thought of the words in "Human Matters".

[Dazai-kun's words seem to have magical powers. Even though he has only read it once or twice, he can't forget it even if he wants to, as if someone is whispering something in his ear. ]

"Mingmei-chan, Mingmei-chan?" Thinking of his book in his mind, Dazai's voice really rang in his ears, and the station bento containing mentaiko was handed under his nose, and he stood in the aisle, "Do you want to eat?" ?” He said, “If you take the Shinkansen and don’t eat station lunches, you will lose your soul. It will take three or four hours from Tokyo to Hakata. Don’t you just plan to keep looking at the scenery?”

"No," she said, "I'm going to read a book first, and then go to bed," she said, "I also wear a steam eye mask."

"Hey——" Dazai said, "So Minmei-chan is the one who can fall asleep in the car."

She said: "Because of the scenery on the road, there is nothing to see."

[The scenery of Kyushu, what is there to see? ] she thought indifferently.

[There is nothing worth visiting in this place at all. ]

……

They guided jr at Hakata Station, and after more than two hours, they finally arrived at the quiet small town of Saga. The traffic flow in Saga is far worse than that in Tokyo, even in Fukuoka. It was empty, there were no people in every carriage, except for two people from the school, there were only three or two old men and women.

People from the High School Affiliated to Dongda University sat on the left and right sides of the carriage, separate from the people from Xiongying High School.

[So silent...]

If you let people from Xiongying High School go out alone, even with the Japanese etiquette as the restraint, the carriage will be full of young and energetic high school students. Playing a new game, Aizawa Shota often feels headaches because the students are too energetic, and he can't wait to plug his earplugs.

[It's so silent! ]

People as serious as Green Valley made similar exclamations, not to mention people like Shangming Electric. They screamed countless times in their hearts, and they were very unsuited to a serious environment.

To find the source of this atmosphere, it is naturally the elites of the High School Affiliated to Dongdae University. From the moment they got on the bus, everyone maintained a very perfect etiquette that made people dread. Women only occupied the first third of the seats, and boys wore suit pants. There are no wrinkles on the face, mobile phones are impossible to appear in people's hands, and game consoles are almost invisible. The vast majority of people hold a small book in their hands and gently cover their mouths when speaking.

[Is this the elite?It's like this outside, wow, it's hard to imagine that we are the same age? ] Shangming Electric makes exaggerated lip-synthesizing with the people around it, with rich expressions and dancing, as if performing a pantomime. From time to time, it uses the mobile phone screen and other things that can write words to describe its current emotions.

[Is there no games and game consoles in their world! ]

"There are still." Kirishima Ruijiro said, his voice was not too loud, but he attracted all the male students from Xiongying High School together, stretched his fingers and pointed in a certain direction, "He has been playing games since just now , Isn’t the handheld super new?” He said, “I wanted to buy that camera too.”

Dazai was sitting on the outside of the aisle, beside him was a boy from the High School Affiliated to Dongdae University, listening to music with earphones, and holding a seemingly remarkable book in his hand.Dazai was different, he put on the earphones, his movements were not too big, but his fingers kept typing on the screen.

[up down left right]

[Come on, Hawks! ]

He is still playing card games. He has been playing this game for almost a year and a half. At the beginning, Izuku Midoriya told him that the card game launched based on heroes, Dazai’s game is not very good. After raising it for a year, not many SSRs came out, but it was still very enjoyable for him to pass the time. He would play games quietly in the classroom of the Middle School Attached to Dongda University, which can be called the scenery of Class A.

Suddenly, a few girls sitting on the other side came over in twos and threes. They walked up to Dazai and gave him a few wagashi yogashi. Dazai put down the mobile phone in his hand and talked to them with a smile. The girls As if he was amused, he walked away with his mouth covered, his eyebrows and eyes were curved, and his face was full of smiles. In the eyes of outsiders, it was really a picture that couldn't be better than a winner in life.

"!!!" Mineta Minoru and Shangming Electric were about to burst into tears, their eyeballs were protruding, bloodshot, their nostrils were flaring, and they were wheezing like a bull.

"Damn it, can Chi Nian do whatever he wants? Can Chi Nian talk to cute girls? Can he have a cute girlfriend? I hate Chi Nian so much!"

"Hush! Keep your voice down, Mineta-san, be careful not to be heard."

"Chi Nian doesn't necessarily have a beautiful girlfriend, right? It's Chi Nian."

boom:"?"

"So pool noodles still have to be divided among people."

"Wait, wait, talking about Boom, isn't that girl the one who appeared in the sports meeting?" Kaminari picked up the magnifying glass and pointed at the girl sitting behind Dazai, which was Akemi Kobayakawa.

"It's the one with a super strong personality." He hesitated and said, "At that time, it seemed that she was protecting, and also..."

Osamu Dazai looked up and smiled at them.

"Hush!" The boys shot together and pushed their heads down, "Be quiet!"

……

As a result, even at Saga Station, the invisible river between the two classes was not cut off. Hawkes thought it was expected, but Aizawa Shouta took a second look at the classes at the High School Affiliated to Dongdae .

[It's hard work, Hawkes/Eraserhead]

Sympathy for each other emerged in the hearts of the two heroes at the same time.

[Xingying High School is really difficult to manage. After all this, they are still interested in Dazai and the others. Eraserhead must be very tired. ] This is Hawks' idea.

[The High School Affiliated to Dongda University, tsk, it really is the school that Dazai will choose, and the students in the class have written their disdain for heroes on their faces. ] This is Shota Aizawa's idea. [They are still too young. If they were older, they would at least guarantee superficial respect for heroes, but the future politicians of our country are indeed such a group of people. ]

Whether it is Hawks or Aizawa Xiaota, they are all hypocritical adults. They will not say some things, they will only swallow them in their stomachs. The two just exchanged a silent "I understand you" " eyes, each went to rectify the class.

"People from the High School Affiliated to Dongda University come here." Hawks raised his hand, treating himself as a vertical pillar, "Going 100 meters further is our destination this time, Saga City Guangming Welfare Institute." He said , "Don't complain about the name, this orphanage is funded and sponsored by the heroic knights, and the name is finally decided after the city's solicitation."

"The facilities of the orphanage are very good, and there are not too few volunteers coming and going, so there is a living area behind the main hall, specially for volunteers. We will live with Xiongying's classmates in the next week. Hope Everyone gets along well."

"It was originally planned that Mr. Knight would meet with all the students very early, but he went to deal with the incident at Tangjin Elementary School. I know you must have found relevant information from the Internet. The incident has been resolved, but Mr. Knight still needs to deal with the aftermath. So I can’t meet with you today.” He said, “Let’s put our luggage away, and we can go to work if we need to work. You have also participated in the activities of condolences to family members before, so I don’t need to talk about the process.”

"Yes—the students responded in twos and threes, but they didn't give any rejection answer.

Dazai finally put away the game console, and Akemi Kobayakawa walked very close to him, but she was absent-minded. From the time she stepped on the train to Kyushu, she was dazed from time to time, even if she was acquainted with her. Even female friends may not be able to spot Minmei's anomaly, but Dazai did.

"If it's a boyfriend, Dazai-sensei is really the most qualified person, but also the most unqualified person!" When she was in the teahouse, Ekeko complained angrily.

"Hey, will you?" Dazai said, "Obviously I am a man who is very considerate of women."

"Central air-conditioning, Mr. Dazai, have you heard of it?" She said humorously, "No, it is because Mrs. Dazai is so gentle that even the voice of your speech can't help making people cry. When you are considerate Women will rely on you involuntarily, and tell you heartfelt words.” Geisha flirtatious skills have been perfected, even if the tip of the nose of a man and a woman is very close, it can only make people feel a dignified ambiguity.

"However, if it is Dazai-sensei, even if you break up with a woman, it will become a landscape that will never fade in the other party's heart." She murmured, "Because you are so gentle."

[Am I really such a person? ] Dazai couldn't help but wondered, [At most, it's just to be more sensitive and considerate to women, there's no way, even if I don't want to do this, it's something engraved in my bones. ]

[Who told me to observe Miss Ji since I was born. ]

Thanks to the observation of words and expressions derived from the hands of Miss Ji, Mingmei's unqualified emotional control was noticed all at once.

"Huh?" Akemi Kobayakawa suddenly raised her head.

"Tell me about it, Akemi-chan." Dazai said coquettishly, "Even if it's not so smooth tangled memories, when you share them with others, the knots entangled in your heart will be much less, right?"

"Mingmei-chan has protected me several times, at least let me help you relieve your worries." He said.

Akemi Kobayakawa opened her mouth.

She said, "It's nothing."

"I just thought of something from my childhood."

……

Since kindergarten, the Kobayakawa family has the habit of going to the countryside during holidays.

It is generally accepted that people are weak in modern Japanese society. It is common for children to never see their parents again after they grow up, or to see them once or twice a year. Concerned about maintaining family connections.

Akemi Kobayakawa was also taken by her parents to the countryside since she was a child.

The ancestral house is very large, different from the home in Shizuoka and the home in Tokyo. The first thing you see in the distance is a dense bamboo forest.Bamboo branches are tall and dense. In the eyes of adults, they may be very elegant, but children will find them scary. Bamboo often appeared in Minmei's childhood nightmares.

A few bluestone slabs are paved in the bamboo forest to form a trail. Walk along the road all the way to the middle, and you can see the same simple and simple house. A man or woman in a kimono opens the door, bows his head and says "You're back".

"Is this Miss Akemi?" The servant who has served Kobayakawa's family for several years will smile at Kobayakawa Akemi whom she has never seen before. On the surface, it looks like a very kind smile, but for some reason, every time, every time, She wanted to hide behind her parents.

A smile is obviously a happy expression, so why are there so many hypocritical emotions in the smile?

"It's amazing, Miss Akemi."

"Whether it's personality or wisdom."

"Miss Mingmei is too powerful."

Her parents are young people of very western style, so even here there is no need to wear a kimono, while Mingmei wears a small dress skirt, which remains the same throughout the year, whether it is cold winter or hot summer Yes, cold training was popular among small children in Japan a long time ago, and she was expected to do it better than everyone else.

In fact, Mingmei is very afraid of the cold, her personality has endowed her with a more heat-resistant physique than others, and her ability to resist the cold seems to be a little dead.

[It's so cold, it's so cold]

She won't get sick, but the cold wind against her legs makes her feel uncomfortable all over.

It's just that I'm afraid of the cold, I don't adapt to the feeling of the cold, that's all.

The winter in Kyushu is very cold, and it’s warmer than Hokkaido. But in December, before Christmas, the snowflakes are falling on the ground. Their hometown only celebrates festivals such as carp streamers or Doll’s Day. The closest one is Yuan Day.

It was snowing, and Mingmei stubbornly built a snowman in the yard alone.

She still can't control her personality, and if she is not careful, the snowman will be melted, but even if she has no personality, she can only build a snowman alone.

Fine snowflakes drifted all over the sky, and some piled up on her pointed hat.

Father and mother were called away by the elders and could not play with her, leaving only the small shovel for making a snowman. The children of the servants were in the other building, and some of them hid behind the corner to watch her.

An umbrella was propped obliquely on Akemi Kobayakawa's head.

"It's snowing heavily," said the man.

He is a young man with a beautiful appearance. How should I describe his appearance? His lines are soft and his eyebrows are curved. He looks not so much weak, but rather has a sense of comfort that makes people feel like a spring breeze. In short, he looks very gentle people.

"What are you doing?"

"Castle." Akemi Kobayakawa was very polite, as long as someone asked a question, she would respond.

"Alone?" said the young man. "I saw some children just now."

"They're the servant's children," Minmei said, "They won't play with me." She didn't feel resentful, just matter-of-fact, "They all hate me."

Because Mingmei is an abominable child who is too powerful to please adults.

"Oh, is that so?" said the young man, "I'm not a servant's child, I'm a guest living in an annex." He said, "Let me help you."

"Because, if you want to build a castle, one person is definitely not enough." He said, "Even the most powerful child, there are things that one person cannot do."

……

"In short, I don't like Kyushu very much." Mingmei said, "I don't like Saga even more."

"This place is really too old."

During the talk, I have already walked more than half of the 100 meters away from the orphanage, and the door is close at hand.

The orphanage is not very grand, but it occupies a large area and the facilities are not outdated. It can be seen that it was built with great care. Judging from the appearance, the children and teenagers living in it should have a good life .

The staff wore an apron, and she came out to greet everyone with a smile and said, "Excuse me, are you the volunteer who arrived today? I am Changzhi, and I am here to greet you instead of the dean..."

She could clearly see the school uniforms on the students, as well as the young man standing in the crowd, who was as eye-catching as a crane.

[hello]

Dazai mouthed exaggeratedly.

[What a coincidence, Changzhi-chan]
