Broken-up ex-boyfriends come back

Yakai Riho didn't react for a while after hearing this abrupt question.

Osamu Dazai never took the initiative to explain what he was looking for.

I also guessed, what is the other party looking for?

meaning of life?

"Although I'm not sure if I've found it, but Osamu Dazai, who I'm familiar with, showed a very gentle smile after joining the Armed Detective Agency with Mr. Oda."

Yakai Riho didn't know how to describe that feeling.

"It's like a cat basking in the sun in the afternoon, lazy and warm, and it's easier to get closer than before..."

Dazai Osamu's expression was subtle for a moment after hearing this description.

At this moment, Yahai Riho suddenly remembered something.

"Speaking of which, I haven't deleted that photo yet..."

"Want to take a look? Your future self."

"Ok?"

Osamu Dazai froze for a moment, then raised his eyebrows.

"But this photo was taken four years ago, when Mr. Dazai was."

Yakai Riho opened the album and clicked on the only photo in it, then turned the phone over.

Osamu Dazai looked at the photo with a slightly dazed expression.

The face in the photo is familiar yet unfamiliar, and his outline is a bit more mature than his current appearance. He half put his arms around the shoulders of the slightly cramped girl next to him, with a relaxed and soft curve on his lips.

That was an expression he wouldn't show, but it was indeed him, and because it was him, he knew exactly what kind of emotions the black-haired young man in the photo was harboring.

It was an existence he thought he would never touch.

Yakai Riho felt that this photo was just a curiosity, but for some reason, the other party looked at it for a long time.

After Osamu Dazai returned the phone to himself, he stood up, his expression not much different from before.

"I will come to pick you up in the middle of tomorrow, so have a good rest."

Osamu Dazai didn't comment on the photo, or even respond, and walked out the door after saying this.

However, he didn't leave immediately after closing the door, but stood in the empty dark corridor for a while before taking a step forward.

Although Yakai Riho didn't know why Osamu Dazai came to talk about it in the middle of the night, she still found a reason for him.

Maybe it was too busy during the day.

Sleepiness gradually came up.

I can leave tomorrow, but I have a feeling of unreality that is too sudden.

Speaking of which, she has been in this world for almost a month, and she doesn't know what's going on in her own world...

Early the next morning, there was a knock on the door of the ward.

Mihai Riho struggled to open her sleepy eyes, and looked at the dimly lit sky outside the window.

Although I sensed the urgency of time from Dazai Osamu's "tomorrow" last night, I didn't expect it to be so early.

"Get ready, I'll take you away."

Zhongyuan Zhong also didn't go in, but waited outside after saying this sentence.

Yakai Riho responded and washed as fast as she could. She didn't have anything to bring, so she went out in about 10 minutes.

After following the other party outside, the cool air cleared up her somewhat confused mind.

Yahai Riho thought she was leaving by car, but she was directly denied.

Nakahara Chuya held her and jumped up the tall building while keeping an eye on his surroundings.

"There are too many unstable factors in the car, and the plan and route are drawn up by Dazai, in case the leader of the rat of the dead house blocks it."

"Chuya, did you not rest last night?"

Yakai Riho grabbed the opponent's clothes nervously, and when she approached, she smelled the smoke of ammunition.

"Well, I've been busy recently."

Although 'Sheep' was disbanded, he joined the Port Mafia, and the organization just changed its leader, plus the mess left by the previous leader, everything is in a state of chaos, and now there is Fyodor, who comes from a parallel world There are too few available manpower, and the current boss is also a bit battered.

It didn't take long for them to fall to the ground under Zhongye's gravity.

Yakai Riho looked at the familiar ordinary house in front of her with some astonishment. This was the address where she lived next to Bakugo's house when she was a child.

And the extremely dirty and messy living room showed that this place, like the world she lived in, had been abandoned since the death of her mother, and no one lived there for many years.

Zhong Yuanzhong also took her directly to the study, and then opened the organ on the desk.

The bookcase by the wall slowly moved away under her shocked gaze, revealing the passage.

This is a not-so-big basement, with messy cables everywhere, several computers with flashing lights, and in the center is a machine that can be accessed by one person.

And the man in a white coat and glasses was operating something on his laptop without looking back.

After hearing the movement of them coming in, he stared at the screen and said, "Please wait a moment."

It took a few minutes before the other party hit the enter key and turned to look at them.

Yakai Riho noticed that the other party was mainly looking at him, with a complicated expression.

"Did I succeed in your world?"

Although it was a sentence without beginning or end, she still understood it.

My father has been researching 'nuclear' just to be able to travel through time and space to change the past of my mother's death.

"Successful, but also failed."

Yakai Riho looked at the other party's dark eyes from staying up all night, and said softly: "No matter how many times you go back to the past, the established facts will not change."

Mikai Keigo clenched his hands, closed his eyes, unable to hide his disappointment.

"……I understand."

Then he got up and started the machine.

"Time is running out. If you have anything you want to say goodbye to, you can say it now. You won't have time later."

Yakai Riho froze for a moment, looking at the orange-haired boy next to him, he didn't know what to say for a while.

Then it was Zhongyuan Zhong who spoke first.

"You..." He took off his hat and scratched his hair as if he was worried about what to say, "Well, thank you."

"Ok?"

Yakai Riho didn't understand why the other party thanked her suddenly.

"Just before..."

Nakahara Chuya's eyes drifted around as if he didn't know where to put it, and his words stuttered a bit.

"You said in the hospital..."

Although the past half month has been very busy, I still think of those words that day from time to time.

As if wrapped in a warm tide, the other party was worried and careful about him, and that kind of pure kindness made him feel at a loss.

At that time, because I didn't know how to react for a while, the nurse who went in to change the bottle changed the topic and left.

But in fact, I am very happy in my heart. I have a feeling that I am recognized and cared about as a human being.

Yakai Riho pursed her lips, but still couldn't hold back a smile.

Before the other party put on the hat, she stretched out her hand and rubbed it lightly, watching the other party's blue eyes slightly widen as if frightened.

"Chuya, I don't seem to have told you yet, even if you become a mafia, even after seven years, I still think you are cute, only this has not changed at all."

"what!?"

"It's a compliment."

Yakai Riho said calmly before the other party exploded: "I don't mean childish, but it's also very pleasing to say the least."

"Why, why are you saying this all of a sudden?"

The orange-haired boy put his hat back on looking a little shy.

"The 'sheep' incident is not Zhongye's fault."

Yakai Riho already knew what happened from Osamu Dazai.

"I heard from Dazai that not only did you fail to pursue responsibility, but you took all the responsibility on yourself."

I think I am not a good leader.

Zhong Yuan Zhong also froze, and he lowered his eyes, a little afraid to look at the girl in front of him.

After the other party woke up, his apology was also because of this. It was obvious that she was stabbed by Shirase because of him. However, not only did he not avenge the other party, but instead let them let go of those past companions when the port mafia was chasing them.

"I'm not angry."

Mihai Riho sighed slightly.

"Dazai said, 'Because they're just a bunch of kids', you think so, but..."

"You're just a kid too."

She looked at the other person looking up as if she wanted to refute something and continued: "Zhongye is very strong, that's a fact, but strength doesn't mean everything."

"Speaking of it, Chuya, you are actually only eight years old."

Yakai Riho ignored the other party's slightly exasperated 'Hey! ', smiled.

"This statement may not be convincing from me."

After all, she herself was completely inferior to the young man in front of her in many aspects.

Age isn't everything either.

"In short, I just hope that Zhongya will not always take all the responsibilities on himself in the future, and cherish himself well, otherwise the people who really value you will be sad."

"Chung Ye is so cute, there will definitely be more and more companions who like and respect you in the future."

After Yahai Riho finished saying these words, the machine had almost been debugged.

"time to go."

Keigo Mikai reminded.

Yakai Riho hesitated for a moment, and finally hugged Nakahara Chuya. Although the other party was a little stiff, he did not refuse.

"Thank you for taking care of me during this time."

Nakahara Nakaya watched her enter the central machine, and after confirming that she had been sent away safely, she was silent for a while, then said goodbye to Keigo Mikai, and was going to find Osamu Dazai.

The matter is not over yet. Although he doesn't like this person, the other party's mind is the only advantage. All the plans for this incident are basically made by him, and so far no mistakes have been made.

When he found him, the bandaged black-haired boy was sitting on a container by the sea, looking at the phone in his hand with a puzzled expression.

"What are you looking at?"

Osamu Dazai looked at the photo on the phone and curled the corner of his lower lip.

"An interesting photo."

"photo?"

He closed the phone and stood up, jumping off the container.

"Let's go, it's time for the next step."

Hasn't he already found him in that world——

something to look for.

Since I got this photo by accident, it would be too wasteful not to do something with it.

Hmm...let's say my future self and her are lovers.

But at this time, the other party was only 12 years old. If he really started, he felt that he would be labeled as a lolicon like Mr. Mori.

"What are you thinking? The expression on your face is disgusting."

Osamu Dazai paused, looked thoughtfully at the orange-haired boy next to him, and reached out his hand to hold his shoulder under the inexplicable gaze of the other party.

"Chuya, are you a lolicon?"

"Huh!? What stupid things are you talking about! How is this possible! Are you treating me as a pervert!?"

"That's fine. By the way, Mr. Mori is a Lolicon. Are you saying he's a pervert?"

"!!?"
