What is "happiness"?What is happiness and happiness?

If Atsushi Nakajima answers, he can think of the ochazuke he ate secretly in the orphanage. That bowl of ochazuke was really delicious. To this day, Atsushi Nakajima can still think of the happiness and satisfaction at that time.Like sweet candy, it makes people feel light and light all over.

And when this kind of happiness is multiplied ten times or even a hundred times, the body can hardly recognize it as "happiness".

His body even twitched due to too intense emotions, and he felt in a trance that even if he died like this, it would probably be nothing.

Until someone dragged Atsushi Nakajima out of this desperate "happiness".

"...Mr. Dazai?" Atsushi Nakajima shouted again, and this time, most of his consciousness was finally recovered.

The rain with a strange fragrance was still dripping, sliding down Atsushi Nakajima's white hair, wet his cheeks, and bring a biting chill.He heard his own trembling, what sounded like crying.

Standing in front of him, Osamu Dazai hooked the corners of his mouth and showed a smile as usual.

"Yo, Atsu-kun." Osamu Dazai said with a smile, "You have finally come to your senses, otherwise I will leave you here alone."

"It's too much to say that." Atsushi Nakajima sniffed, his body was still trembling because of the intense emotions just now.He twitched the corners of his mouth, and gave Osamu Dazai a stiff and ugly smile.

With a sound of "噗嗤", Osamu Dazai laughed out loud. He looked at Atsushi Nakajima as if he saw a little sheep who didn't understand, so Osamu Dazai stretched out his hand, patted Atsushi Nakajima's face, and said : "Wake up, we should go."

"Oh! Okay!" Atsushi Nakajima was still a little confused, but he subconsciously accepted Dazai Osamu's words and followed his footsteps.

Before leaving, he glanced back.

The "smiley man" who was chasing them crazily just now seemed to have lost his soul at this moment. He stretched out his hand to catch the rain in a daze, and kept making suppressed laughter.

Surrounded by all the "smiley people" who kept laughing, "Miss Smiley" didn't laugh with the other "smiley people", she stood there quietly, didn't move, just watched quietly As they left, the smiling face of the child's graffiti was wrinkled by the rain, which made people feel a little sad for no reason.

She seemed to say something, and the distance was a bit far away, Atsushi Nakajima couldn't see her mouth shape clearly, and couldn't hear what she wanted to say.He turned back and ran with Osamu Dazai.

Looking at the back in the beige coat in front of him, the complicated mood in Atsushi Nakajima's heart disappeared.

But there was one thing he was more concerned about.

The feeling of being overwhelmed with joy just now was so terrifying that it made people's brains go blank.Atsushi Nakajima still couldn't help trembling in retrospect.

Looking at Osamu Dazai, who seemed to have nothing happened, Atsushi Nakajima suddenly remembered that when he jumped off the pink river just now, he felt pain and sadness. All the negative emotions that came up made Atsushi Nakajima almost sink like this .But before that, Osamu Dazai, who soaked in the river for a while because of committing suicide by jumping into the water, seemed to feel nothing.

But now, Osamu Dazai, who was drenched in the rain like him, didn't feel any discomfort at all, and was able to wake up Atsushi Nakajima instead.

These incidents made Nakajima Atsushi say curiously: "Mr. Dazai seems to be fine, doesn't he feel anything?"

"Huh? Actually, I can still feel it." Dazai Osamu, with his hands in his pockets, was still humming an untuned song, and he said in a lazy tone, "But that thing still doesn't affect me."

Although I don't quite understand it, it sounds amazing. Could this be the ease of an adult?

Atsushi Nakajima went away to pay attention.

"Where's Atsu-kun? What did you feel just now?" Osamu Dazai suddenly turned his head and asked.

"What did I feel..." Atsushi Nakajima said while recalling the feeling just now, the goosebumps all over his body couldn't help but pop up, his upper teeth and lower teeth collided together, making a "click, click" sound, Nakajima Atsushi said: "It's like accumulating all the past "happiness" together, and the brain is blank."

"Is that so." Osamu Dazai raised his eyebrows, and he seemed to just ask casually, then changed the subject and said, "I don't know why, after it rains, Miss Smiley doesn't chase us, but forget it, we We also got good information."

"What information?" Atsushi Nakajima asked a little confused.

"Sadness and pain can kill them," Osamu Dazai said while humming.

"Our goal now is to enter the castle." Osamu Dazai glanced at the castle in the sky and said.

"But how do we get in? We can't fly." Atsushi Nakajima frowned and said, "Although we want to join your companions, there's no need to go inside the castle... right?"

The white-haired boy looked at the black-haired man who was very close in front of him in a daze, and Atsushi Nakajima was a little flustered by the malicious smile on his face.

"Wait, wait? What's wrong? Mr. Dazai? It's too close." Atsushi Nakajima subconsciously wanted to push Dazai away, and then he heard the other party's voice with a teasing smile.

"Dun Jun, are you afraid?"

"What? I'm not afraid!" Atsushi Nakajima turned his face away guiltily, and looked at other places with wandering eyes, but he didn't look at Osamu Dazai.

Isn't it shameful to admit that I'm scared at a time like this? !

"Really?" Osamu Dazai covered his mouth and moved closer. The smile in his eyes made Atsushi Nakajima very uncomfortable.

"Of course. I just don't think it's necessary to take more risks." Nakajima Atsushi said silently with his eyes dead.

"But that castle clearly says "I am the base camp of the BOSS~~ I can't go back until I defeat it!!", no matter what, it's impossible not to go." Yin said the contents of the frame.

Atsushi Nakajima didn't know how to complain for a while, should he complain about the content in the frame or complain that Mr. Dazai's disguised female voice is very similar?

Osamu Dazai patted his head with a smile and said, "Let's go."

Atsushi Nakajima, who was thinking of escaping, was defeated and nodded dejectedly.

Osamu Dazai smiled and said, "Then, let's find a way to get up there...huh?"

His gaze moved to the item shop next to him, and he suddenly found that there were various things in it.

This item shop is of course not the same as the item shop that "Miss Smiley" took them to just now, but there are many similarities in the items inside.

Osamu Dazai thought about it and walked over.

This store is also run by an old man.When Osamu Dazai passed by, she still greeted him with a smile: "Oh, my guest, do you want something?"

The old man also had signs of getting wet. He probably ran outside to get wet in the rain just like the others just now.It's just that the rain stopped at this time, and she went back to her prop shop.

Osamu Dazai paused, but did not respond directly.So the old man stared blankly again, and repeated with a smile on his face: "Oh, my guest, what do you want?"

She looked a little weird, which made Atsushi Nakajima tremble, but Osamu Dazai turned the fear in Atsushi Nakajima's heart into a desire to complain in the next second.

"It feels like an RPG game." Osamu Dazai turned his head away and said to Atsushi Nakajima in a low voice.

"Although it is true, don't say it directly." Atsushi Nakajima complained.

Osamu Dazai turned back and asked with a smile: "I want to know, what happened to that castle? Please tell me, only in this way can I become 'happy'."

"'Happy'..." the old man murmured in a low voice, "Yes, 'The Paradise of the Happy', that's why this world was created."

She seemed to know something, Osamu Dazai didn't interrupt her, and listened to her quietly.

"If you have to know the news to become a member of this place, then fine, outsider." The old man nodded and said, "There is going to be a dance in that castle. Of course, everyone will go."

"Because the owner of this world is sleeping there." The old man closed his eyes and said with a smile.

Osamu Dazai blinked and said, "Is it really okay to just say it like this?"

The old man was silent for a while, and said, "I don't know either. But that person..." At this point, she shut her mouth tightly again.

"This is the 'paradise of the happy', and at the same time, for that person, it is also the 'hell of the unhappy'." The old man said with a sigh, and she still had the strange fragrance of rainwater on her body.

"If you are going to the castle, just hold this thing. Apply the contents on your face." So said the old man, handing them two bags.

Osamu Dazai nodded, and left here with Atsushi Nakajima.

Before leaving, Atsushi Nakajima glanced back, and suddenly saw the old man's face turned into a smiling face graffitied by a child.

In order to prevent people from chasing them again, Atsushi Nakajima and Osamu Dazai walked in some hidden places this time, and hid all the way to the bottom of the castle.

"Okay, let's go up." Osamu Dazai said so, and opened the bag, which contained graffiti pens.

"It seems that you have to paint on your face before you can enter the castle." Osamu Dazai said so, taking out the graffiti pen very naturally, and using the red pen to make the corner of his mouth look like a big smile.

Atsushi Nakajima: "..."

"Pfft." Nakajima Atsushi turned his head away and laughed out loud.

Sorry, he really didn't mean to laugh.

"Atsu-kun, you have to paint too." Dazai Osamu was not annoyed when he saw that he was smiling all the time, he just approached Nakajima Atsushi with the red graffiti pen he just used with a smile.

"Wait! Mr. Dazai!!" Atsushi Nakajima yelled a few times, but he was still ruthlessly pressed against the corner by Dazai, with something painted on his face.

Compared with Osamu Dazai, Atsushi Nakajima not only has the corners of his mouth painted in a raised shape, but even the sides of his cheeks are also painted with blush.

Looking at himself reflected in the glass window, Atsushi Nakajima said with dead eyes: "So forget about the corners of your mouth, why do you want to paint my face, Mr. Dazai?"

"I accidentally slipped my hand." Osamu Dazai showed a bright smile.

It's definitely because he laughed at Mr. Dazai just now!

Atsushi Nakajima complained silently.

"But even if this is applied, what are we going to do—?!" Atsushi Nakajima looked at Osamu Dazai next to him with a dazed expression, and suddenly... he grew wings and flew up.

...

...

...

ha? ? ?Grow wings and fly? ? !

"Why are there wings? Wow!" Before he could speak, Atsushi Nakajima suddenly grew wings behind him, leading him to fly upwards as if he had self-awareness.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" Nakajima Atsushi's voice echoed in the air.

So from the perspective of other people, the two people who suddenly grew wings and flew to the castle together.

Not far away, taking advantage of the absence of the president, Edogawa Ranpo, who was crazily eating dim sum, raised his head.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "That must be Dazai."

"Forget it, never mind." Saying so, the detective of the Armed Detective Agency continued to eat snacks in the restaurant surrounded by a group of "smiley people" as if nothing had happened.

"Oh, the food here is really delicious." Edogawa Ranpo said contentedly with his mouth full of snacks.
