a strange man.

This is Mihai Riho's impression of Osamu Dazai for a long time.

The first time we met was on the way back from school.

When walking up the slope at the corner of the street, he found a black-haired boy sitting on the steps he needed to pass.

The other party was wearing a black suit and a heavy long black coat, with layers of white bandages tied around his neck and wrists. He disappeared into the clothes all the way, holding a "Complete Suicide Manual" with white letters on a red background.

Yakai Riho, who was standing at the bottom of the steps, was looking up, hesitating whether to take a detour, when he saw that the other party closed the book in his hand with a 'snap', and then looked up at his left eye, which was not covered by bandages It was as dark and cold as a bottomless pool of stagnant water.

After staring at her for a while, the black-haired boy slowly raised the corners of his lips as if he hadn't noticed his vigilance, and greeted her strangely——

"Yeah, let's say we're meeting each other for the first time, my lovely little lady."

Yakai Riho squeezed the schoolbag tightly in her hand.

"who are you?"

"My name is Osamu Dazai."

The black-haired boy stood up and came to her, looking down at himself from top to bottom, his thin eyelashes cast a small shadow above his pupils, and no light could penetrate.

After a pause, he smiled and said lightly: "It's your future lover."

He was obviously smiling, but there was nothing in the exposed eye.

Yakai Riho was silent for a while, and then said: "...Is this a new type of abduction method for human traffickers?"

The black-haired boy who claimed to be her future lover did not show an angry look, but took out a photo from his arms as expected, then squatted down, and turned it over to face himself——

The photo seems to have been taken casually in the bedroom, in which the black-haired youth poses slightly intimately with his arms around the girl next to him, showing a warm and soft light tone under the sunlight.

Yakai Riho stared at the photo for a while, then looked at the person in front of her.

After repeating it several times, I finally had to admit that the two people in it were simply the grown-ups.

Is it some kind of computer technology?

While she was thinking like this, the other party shook the photo in her hand, and then said in a drawn-out tone: "Is there no response? It's so cold——"

She couldn't distinguish the emotion in the kite eye that was staring at her.

When I thought about it later, I realized——it was probably... looking at a distant, almost invisible glimmer of hope.

"...I'm only 12, how do you think I'll react?"

But now she can only reply in a flat tone.

Yes, 12 years old, just a primary school student.

"Well, I know, so in order to prevent my future girlfriend from being abducted by other people, I came here early to cultivate relationships."

The black-haired boy named Osamu Dazai said so solemnly.

Yahai Riho: "...Are you a pervert?"

She is still a child!

The other party was unmoved as if he hadn't heard it, and said enthusiastically, "Call Brother Dazai first?"

It's more like a human trafficker who is coaxing children.

Of course Yakai Riho chose to refuse.

However this is just the beginning.

After that, she could always see this person in various places and in various strange ways.

Under the continuous "coincidental encounters", Yakai Riho already knew that the other party was keen on suicide.

Regardless of occasion, regardless of time, regardless of location.

Sometimes Xingqi would even try to commit suicide directly in front of her. After being stopped, he would look at himself with heavy eyes, and say "I can't help it" in a tone that doesn't have much ups and downs, and then give up as if he suddenly lost interest.

"Why do you like suicide so much?"

"What do you think, Riho?"

"Incomprehensible."

"It doesn't matter if you don't need to understand."

Yakai Riho looked at the other party and did not speak.

Even though I always listened quietly and only occasionally responded, the person in front of me talked about many things on his own as if he didn't care, and occasionally fell silent as if he was bored, with his eyes that couldn't see through emotions. Staring at himself, as if looking through her to an unattainable future, the expression on his face was terribly empty.

I don't know what I'm waiting for, I don't know what I'm looking forward to, I don't know what I'm looking for.

I don't know when it started, but the black-haired boy had a smile that couldn't be seen much.

Obviously at the beginning, he was always a world-weary look who was not interested in anything, as if he didn't even bother to put on his expression, and only when he was going to do bad things or deceive people, he would put on a face like a drama mask and start. Performance.

Just like when they first met.

Osamu Dazai would always talk about new suicide methods he tried again and again.

"The last time I tried to commit suicide with hard tofu, but it failed. Sure enough, I still need to improve it..."

At the same time, he is very keen to discredit his superiors and partners.

"The boss is an unscrupulous and black-hearted boss who can exploit child labor. Ah, yes, my annoying partner is also one of the child laborers he cheated into. They have been squeezed so that they can't grow taller. It's really pitiful..."

The two maintain this wonderful relationship.

When Yakai Riho was listening to Osamu Dazai slandering his partner again, a distant roar interrupted the other party——

"Dazai! You bastard always leave the work to me and run off to be lazy, this time I will definitely..."

The originally furious voice stopped abruptly when it came to them.

The visitor opened his eyes slightly after seeing him, and then called out her name in astonishment——

"Rio?"

Yakai Riho looked up in confusion at the orange-haired boy in front of him. He was wearing a black top hat, a black jacket over a white inner layer, and a black leather chocker around his neck.

Nakahara Nakaya looked at Dazai Osamu as if he was looking at non-recyclable garbage after regaining consciousness, and at the same time grabbed the back collar of his clothes.

"What the hell are you doing!?"

Osamu Dazai brushed off his hands, straightened his collar, and said casually, "As you can see, I'm cultivating feelings with Riho."

"... You guys are not a lolicon like the leader, are you!?"

Nakahara Chuya's face twisted slightly, and he tried hard to control his emotions so as not to kick him directly.

"Slandering the boss behind his back is not a good thing."

Osamu Dazai smiled slightly at the other party.

Zhongyuan Zhongye: "..."

Obviously you said a lot of bad things yourself.

Yakai Riho looked at the orange-haired boy who was so angry that he was so angry that he complained silently in his heart.

Nakahara Nakaya took a deep breath, resisting the urge to kill the opponent, and looked at Yakai Riho who was sitting obediently by the side.

"What did that guy Dazai say?"

"The boss is a black-hearted boss who exploits child labor, and the partner is a dark dwarf with a bad temper and a brain capacity comparable to a slug's ten thousand years of growth..."

After a long series of prepositional attributives were uttered, she could clearly see a crossroad popping out from the forehead of the orange-haired boy.

"Too-zai-!!! Give me death!"

Zhong Yuanzhong, who was in a state of rage, also punched him aggressively.

"I'm going to kill you today! You always leave your work to me! You skip work every now and then to commit suicide and leave a mess! Who do you think will handle it for you every time!"

It sounds so sad.

Yakai Riho watched Dazai Osamu dodging the attack extremely skillfully, and at the same time looked at herself with a face of accusation——

"Rio is too much."

Then he was severely beaten.

"Anyway, don't listen to this guy's nonsense."

Zhongyuan Zhong also finally calmed down after the beating, and then came back to her, squatted down and said solemnly: "Don't get involved with him, although I don't know what he said, but just believe what he said." It's over."

Yakai Riho looked at the orange-haired boy in front of him, his beautiful blue eyes were extremely serious.

"That guy is not a nice guy."

The other party said so.

Yakai Riho glanced at the black-haired boy sitting not far away and rubbing his neck without any stop or rebuttal, then retracted his gaze, and looked at the person in front of him again.

"I know."

Her personality told herself who these two were from the very beginning.

"What!? Are you an idiot!?"

A moment of disbelief appeared on the face of the orange-haired boy.

"Know the danger and let the other party approach!"

No, in fact, she wanted to go to the police.

But after thinking about it, he gave up. After all, the other party didn't have any malice, and he didn't do anything to him. He just came over from time to time and dumped her like a trash can. I always felt that it would be too much to do so.

"Compared to this, I want to know, is it true that Dazai said that he and I will be lovers in the future?"

Yakai Riho always remembered this incident.

Zhong Yuanzhong also got stuck for a while, the expression on his face seemed to be a little tangled because of thinking of something, as if he didn't know how to answer.

"So... is it true?"

"No!" The other party quickly denied it as if she was afraid that she would be cheated, and then said 'tsk', "It's just the ex."

"Why does Riho trust this slimy slug instead of me?"

Osamu Dazai, who had been silent since just now, finally opened his mouth leisurely, and the tone of pretending to be wronged made Nakahara Chu also show an extremely disgusted expression.

Yakai Riho looked at those kite eyes that couldn't reflect anything.

"...Because I don't understand why I can't think about it so much."

"It's really sad."

Even after saying this, there was no corresponding expression on the other party's face.

After that, as long as Osamu Dazai skipped work and came to look for her, Nakahara Nakahara, who followed him like a radar, would always guard himself vigilantly like an old hen guarding the calf, and at the same time roared at the other party to go back to work.

But the two also seemed to have some kind of unspoken agreement, and neither of them would mention the Mafia in front of her.

Until one day, Osamu Dazai, who was obviously the same as before, but slightly different, suddenly said, "mimic has come to Yokohama."

What is mimic?

Mihai Riho looked at him a little blankly.

The other party smiled, and there was a hint of truth in the always illusory tone that had finally waited until the dust settled.

"Odasaku survived."

Ah, I know this, the friend Dazai once said.

She suddenly realized something.

Nakahara once told her that he was in another world.

Then the black-haired youth returned to his usual appearance.

"It's clear that I knew Riho first, but why does Riho like Chuya more?"

The other party has complained in this way more than once.

Yakai Riho used to reply him with the reason of 'Because Chuya is cuter than you', but this time is different.

She didn't answer immediately, but just looked at the black-haired youth in front of her.

Three years later, the other party has indeed grown into the appearance in that photo, but it is different from it.

It took her a while before she said, "Liar."

When Osamu Dazai was stunned by the sudden words, Yakai Riho continued to say——

"I always thought Dazai was weird."

"I obviously don't want to laugh, but I always wear a strange smile."

"Obviously he doesn't like me, but he always says he likes me."

"...Obviously want to live, but always commit suicide in various ways."

After a moment of silence, he said softly: "I don't know what you want to find in me, and I still can't understand it to this day."

"We're not that picture."

Finally she ended with this sentence.

Mihai Riho noticed that this time the other party was not wearing that black coat.

The black-haired young man lowered his eyes and looked at her, his expression approaching nothingness.

After a long time, the corners of his lips curled up again.

It was just a little more shallow truth than before, he stretched out his hand and rubbed the head of Yakai Riho who had grown into a girl in front of him.

"No, I like Riho very much."

Yakai Riho did not reply.

The other party always said some words that seemed to be true and false, but she never believed this.

And Osamu Dazai seemed to understand something, changed the subject, said the same nonsense as before, and finally said goodbye with a smile.

This is their last meeting.

Haven't been in touch since.

After a long time, Yakai Riho met Chuya Nakahara whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Sorry, I'm a bit busy these days, Dazai disappeared for no reason! The work is all on me!"

"Ah."

As you can imagine, it was very hard work.

"He blew up my car before leaving!"

"Are you okay?"

It's something Dazai would do.

"It's okay. Fortunately, the souvenir I brought you from the last business trip was not in the car."

"...you don't need to bring it every time."

Even so, I will bring it next time.

Perhaps it was because in front of her, Zhong Yuanzhong would always try his best to control his emotions and not yell at his ex-partner, but the gnashing of teeth couldn't hide his anger at all.

"And this guy actually..."

In the middle of speaking, he stopped as if he suddenly remembered something, and then the orange-haired young man lowered the brim of his hat under her confused gaze.

"It's nothing."

Zhong Yuanzhong also frowned and didn't say anything.

Before Dazai left, he specially sent himself an inexplicable text message.

[I remember that I also said that I am not a lolicon~—— Osamu Dazai]

Then he remembered, after Yakai Riho from another world left, the other party asked himself this way——

[Chuya, are you a lolicon? ]

How did you answer yourself?

[ha! ?What stupid things are you talking about!How can this be!Are you treating me as a pervert? ? ]

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the girl in front of him who didn't know why.

Dazai bastard!It's obvious that he's the lolita!

Nakahara Chuya insults Dazai by his real name in his heart every day.

"Speaking of which, are you... all right?"

After a while, the orange-haired youth asked this question hesitantly.

Mihai Riho froze for a moment.

"what?"

"That's... didn't you have a good relationship with Dazai before?"

Nakahara also always felt that although he took every precaution to prevent Dazai Huohuo from being a child's Yakai Riho, he still couldn't guard against it.

"Now that guy just walks away without a word..."

Instead of saying nothing, you came to say goodbye to yourself.

The relationship isn't that great either, it's just...

Yakai Riho didn't know how to describe the relationship between them, so she didn't say anything.

For some reason, the orange-haired young man seemed worried that she was actually sad but was just trying to hold on. After comforting himself clumsily for a while, he hurried back anxiously.

It seems that the work is indeed very busy, and this time I just took time out to take a look at myself.

But does she look sad?

Yakai Riho looked at the reflection in the water glass, touched his own face, and couldn't tell the difference for a while.

Life is still the same as before, except that there is one less person, it doesn't seem to be any different, and Zhongyuan Zhong is still the same as before, occasionally visits himself when he is free, and brings gifts along the way.

According to the other party, no one has found Osamu Dazai in the past two years.

When the figure of the black-haired youth gradually faded from memory, Yakai Riho, who was walking on the street one day, suddenly heard a slightly familiar brisk voice from behind——

"This lovely little lady, can you die in love with me?"

The author has something to say: In short, Dazai is teasing and Riho is not moving, because Riho always thinks that the other party is just looking for something in him because of that photo, and he doesn't really like it. Dazai understands what the other party means, He was indeed like this at the beginning, and then he thought that Riho would not believe him until he found what he was looking for. Later, he washed the files in the underground world and did not contact him again. Before leaving, he reminded Nakaya in case his little one The cabbage was poached away, and the final ending is that Dazai reunited with Riho after joining Butei. At that time, he had almost found the bright side...

Because the last chapter of the first part, if Fanwai, is the leader Jaehe, so I actually wanted to write the sweet Chuya in this one, and the plot was all planned out, but after I wrote it, I didn’t know what happened and became Dazai Yeah, it didn't match the original plot at all. I tried desperately to pull back on Nakaya, but in the end, I failed. I gave up and let him become an old mother who protects the calf...

It's finally over, and if it floats up in the favorites, it's being modified, so don't worry about it.
