"Do you think so? Mother." Osamu Dazai looked at Tomie Kawakami, raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile.

Kawakami Tomie's concealment ability is still extraordinary, even if Dazai Osamu wants to find her, it will take a certain amount of effort.But it was clear that this time she had no intention of hiding anything.Osamu Dazai noticed her when she was still a puddle of mud, hidden in the water pipe.

"Dazai, long time no see." Tomie Kawakami, who hadn't seen him for several years, said calmly.

Even Kawakami Tomie has grown in recent years——

"Ah! So dirty!" Facing Igarashi Hirano, who was gradually festering at Osamu Dazai's feet because he couldn't bear the medicine, Tomie Kawakami screamed and jumped up like a cat that was frightened by seeing a cucumber.

Dazai Osamu: "..."

Fortunately, he also felt that Kawakami Tomie had also grown.

After reacting, Tomie Kawakami coughed a few times in a disguised manner, folded his arms arrogantly, raised his head and said arrogantly: "It's a shame that you can still stand next to that ugly meatball."

"Need I explain that this ugly lump of meat was transformed by drinking a potion synthesized with the cells of 'your'?" Osamu Dazai said with a smile.

"You are still annoying as always, so why are you a son artificially created by "me"?!" Tomie Kawakami said frantically.

"I also want to ask." Osamu Dazai still had the same expression.

"Forget it, I won't talk nonsense with you. So, have you solved that thing? Forget it, look at the fire around you, you don't need to guess." Tomie Kawakami surrounded the blazing flames all around, hum Said with a loud voice.

Under the light of the fire, her already incomparably dazzling face became even more beautiful, and the tear moles under her eyes were like pearls.

Osamu Dazai looked at her, and with the same beautiful face, said terrible words: "Well, after asking the news, it was burned properly."

"...Although it's great that the other self was burned, I will be the unique "Fu Jiang" from now on. But your expression always makes me feel creepy."

"After all, it's not just her, even you and I want to burn it once and for all?" Osamu Dazai said with a smile.

Tomie Kawakami was so angry that he wanted to smash him.

Osamu Dazai sighed, and said with some regret: "But you, as the only "Fu Jiang" who survived, really didn't kill you so easily."

"Aren't you the same?" Tomie Kawakami complained.

"I'm not the same as you." As Osamu Dazai said this, he showed a very sinister smile, and said hehehe: "The "Fu Jiang" in this laboratory was split from you, and you actually want me to help you. You clean up the mess, it's really..." He also deliberately elongated his voice.

"I can't help it! I was chased and killed suddenly! I don't know why my ability didn't work! I finally escaped, and of course I didn't have time to run back to deal with my blood." Kawakami Tomie was so excited by Dazai Osamu, immediately Complaining about things she wasn't going to say.

When he saw Osamu Dazai's thoughtful expression, Tomie Kawakami suddenly realized that he had been tricked.

"Hey!" she protested aggressively.

However, Osamu Dazai didn't want to listen to her complaints at all. He put his fingers against his chin, showed a contemplative look, and murmured in a low voice: "That is to say, someone has known about your existence and your ability for a long time, and came here deliberately to chase you down." You, get your blood? Igarashi Hirano is just a pawn."

"Don't ignore me!" Tomie Kawakami shouted from the sidelines.

And Osamu Dazai was still thinking.

There must be many people who know about the existence of "Tomie". Because of him, Ogai Mori and Nakahara Nakahara also know Doppo Kunikida who just knew about it...Ranpo Edogawa, Dazai Osamu did not tell him, But he always felt that that person probably knew about it, but he just didn't have much interest in it.

Furthermore, Takashi Mitsuchi, who used to be from Shiin, used to be the person in charge of the experiment of Anna Kusina. In order to stimulate the potential of Anna Kusina, she was sent to Osamu Dazai's laboratory.As for later, those who participated in or knew about the "Fu Jiang" experiment basically died for various reasons.

But Mitsuchi Takashi's whereabouts are unknown after he was taken away by the King of Gold, and he doesn't know where he was imprisoned.Even if Osamu Dazai wants to use some means, it will not work.As for the King of Gold, that terrifyingly strong old man, Osamu Dazai felt that he must know.

Tomie Kawakami was still nagging, and she didn't know what she was thinking. Seeing that Osamu Dazai didn't respond to her, Tomie Kawakami began to complain to him about the encounter for no reason.

"Before, I suddenly met a woman wearing a black motorcycle jacket and riding a motorcycle. She pulled me inexplicably, looked very wary of me, and took off her helmet when I was impatient. Do you know? Under her helmet There is nothing! That woman has no head at all, it really scared me to death!" She patted herself, and said with disgust and fear.

"That's about the very famous "Headless Horseman" in Ikebukuro. I checked it out, and her words are very similar to yours." Osamu Dazai propped his head and said, "It is said that she has an immortal body, and her missing head is as beautiful as anyone's. The brilliance is incomparable."

"Ha, what is that? It's inexplicable." Tomie Kawakami said with arms folded.

The two are actually very similar. Of course, it's not about their personalities. Tomie Kawakami's character is simply terrible. If you want to compare with her, you can only compare your character.Obviously, the lady without the headless horseman is not such a person.The similarities between the two are the inhuman aspect, the incomparably beautiful head, and the immortal body that can heal everything.

It's just that Tomie Kawakami's physique is a hundred times worse.

No matter how you say it, it's Tomie Kawakami's fault.

Osamu Dazai complained silently, clapped his hands, and said, "I'm going to deal with this, if you don't leave, I'll deal with you together by the way."

Kawakami Tomie arrogantly shook his black and beautiful hair, made a face at him, and turned into a puddle of black mud, seeped into the water pipe and left.

"That's why you have no right to call others ugly." Looking at the gurgling black mud that disappeared, Osamu Dazai complained silently.

"Okay, let's get rid of this place completely."

···

By the time Osamu Dazai went out, it was already dawn outside, and the originally quiet place was bustling again.There are people talking and birds chirping everywhere.The sun shone down warmly.But there was no one around the bar where they were.

Kunikida Doppo had been waiting outside for a long time, leaning against the wall, smoking with a tired and heavy calm.

When he saw Osamu Dazai, he stretched out his fingers to take down the cigarette, and asked, "Is everything settled?"

"It's been dealt with." Osamu Dazai replied, then looked at Kunikida Doppo with a slightly subtle look, and said, "It's rare to see Kunikida-kun smoking."

Kunikida Doppo laughed a few times, his body trembled because of the laughter, he said: "Occasionally, there will be times when I want to smoke."

"That's right." Osamu Dazai said, he stretched out his hand to block the too glaring light, and asked, "Is there still smoke?"

"You want it too?" Kunikida raised his eyebrows and gave him one.

Osamu Dazai took it and put it in his mouth, Kunikida leaned over alone, took out a lighter and lit it for him.

The black-haired man lowered his head slightly so that the smoke could be lit.During this period, he raised his eyes imperceptibly, and saw Kunikida Doppo's hazy face under the sunlight.

At this time, the two were too close because of the action of lighting a cigarette, and there was a subtle ambiguity hovering between them, but they seemed to be unaware of that, and returned to the proper distance.

There was a lot of activity not far away, and there were various voices, but it was so quiet between the two that no sound could break in.

Kunikida Doppo and Dazai Osamu were both leaning against the wall, smoking cigarettes with unclear expressions, their faces blurred by the white mist.

"...Wait a minute, let's go find Fujimura Ziya." Kunikida Doppo said in an unintelligible voice after taking a puff of cigarette.

"Okay." Dazai replied calmly.

Half an hour later, when the police who received the news rushed here, the two had already arrived at the school and called Fujimura Ziya out alone.

The two big men squatted down, and Yukikida Doppo vaguely explained the fact that Igarashi Izumi had died.

"This is the last thing he left behind." Osamu Dazai took out the bracelet and said to her.

Fujimura Ziya, who had been acting indifferent since just now, was taken aback for a moment, took the bracelet over, and stared blankly.

Kunikida Doppo and Dazai Osamu didn't say anything, they just watched her quietly, waiting for Fujimura Ziya to accept this fact.

When the little girl looked at the bracelet with "Igarashi Spring" written in front of her eyes, tears suddenly fell from her eyes.

"Ah..." Kunikida Doppo stretched out his hand at a loss, as if he wanted to comfort her but didn't know what to say, so he could only lower his hand in dejection.

Fujimura Ziya raised her head, looked at the two with those tearful eyes, and asked, "In the end, can he finally leave here and be free?"

Kunikida Doppo said, "Maybe."

Fujimura Ziya looked at Osamu Dazai.

The black-haired man looked at her serious expression, sighed, and said, "Sorry, I don't know what to say, self-comforting, false and gentle words."

"Dazai." Kunikida Doppo looked at him with some disapproval, as if he felt that Osamu Dazai should not say these things to such a little girl.

"Isn't Kunikida-kun thinking the same way?" Dazai Osamu looked at him calmly and said.

Kunikida Doppo fell silent.

Indeed, the dead are gone, and whatever the living think is nothing but wishful thinking.To die is to die, and there is nothing left.

Kunikida Doppo lowered his eyes and clenched his teeth.

Fujimura Ziya stretched out her hand, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said, "That's right, I shouldn't have said those words either."

Guilt and pain weighed heavily on the little girl's heart.

"Losing someone important is a very painful thing. Even so, I hope you can cheer up." Kunikida Doppo sighed and said.

"I know. If Koizumi-kun is still around, he will be very angry seeing me like this. Don't look at that guy's introverted appearance, he is actually very stubborn." Fujimura Ziya smiled stiffly, and fell silent again.

"Let me tell you." She looked at the two of them and said solemnly, "If it is said that he is desperate to escape from here, what about you?"

"Although it's a bit strange to say that, in fact, you all have very similar eyes, that kind of stubbornness that makes people want to beat them hard." Fujimura Ziya's expression softened, and she said softly.

"Why are you so desperate, and what will be waiting for you at the end?" When she said this, she was not as mature as a 12-year-old girl.

Kunikida Doppo and Dazai Osamu looked at each other, then looked at her together, and shook their heads.

"Sorry, I don't know." Kunikida Doppo looked at her firmly and said.

Even he didn't know what was waiting after the desperate end.Whether it is destruction or hope, no one can be sure.

"...Even so, do you have to move forward for this?" Fujimura Ziya asked.

Kunikida Doppo nodded.Dazai smiled.

"In this case, I hope you can all find what you want." She laughed, with a childish look at this age, but there were still tears in the corners of her eyes.

"We will." Kunikida Doppo patted her on the shoulder.

Until the end, when the two left.Looking at their backs, Fujimura Ziya realized belatedly.

"Mr. Dazai's expression feels different from Mr. Kunikida's."

"Maybe it's my illusion." Saying so, Fujimura Ziya looked at the bracelet in her hand.

"Welcome back, Koizumi."

She put the burnt bracelet next to her face and rubbed it gently.
