Broken-up ex-boyfriends come back

Yakai Riho subtly exchanged contact information with Bakugo Katsuki, and the other party simply left after sending her to the door of the house.

But before she could open the door, the phone rang.

Caller - Osamu Dazai.

Yakai Riho hesitated for a moment before answering the phone, and there was an unfamiliar boy's voice on the opposite side, sounding a little flustered.

"Hi, I'm Atsushi Nakajima from the Armed Detective Agency, that's not good! Mr. Dazai committed suicide again! Only a note was left, which said—"Suddenly want to see Riho, do you want to guess me?" Where will I commit suicide this time? Prompt: Give Riho a surprise who is unwilling to accept surprises. ps: Do you have any regrets after four years?' I found your contact information in the mobile phone left on the table, although it is very difficult Excuse me, but do you know where Mr. Dazai might be right now?"

Yakai Riho: "...that bastard!"

She turned around and walked outside, her pace kept accelerating, and finally she started to trot.

"Nakajima-kun, if I'm not mistaken, Dazai should be at..."

It was obviously just two words without thinking, but for some reason, he understood the meaning of the other party.

She remembered that she went to find Dazai Osamu who jumped into the river in the middle of the night, and the other party said a word before leaving after sending her back——

"Rio will definitely regret having a friend like me sooner or later."

When Yakai Riho finally found Osamu Dazai along the river in his memory, he had already been picked up, and he was sitting on the grass with his whole body wet, with his left hand casually resting on his bent leg, looking at the river without knowing where he was. what to think.

Standing next to him was an equally wet white-haired boy, who was persuading him in a low voice with a troubled face——

"Mr. Dazai, go back quickly, otherwise what will you do if you catch a cold?"

After she arrived, the black-haired young man who seemed to have been waiting all this time noticed it immediately and turned his gaze.

The soft and slightly curly black hair stuck to the handsome face in wet locks, and transparent water droplets slowly slid down the side of the face.

"I thought you wouldn't come, Riho."

His tone sounded rather pitiful.

Yakai Riho did not immediately ask about the situation of the strange boy, but came to Dazai Osamu, squatted down and checked, and after making sure that he was fine, he slowly calmed down the disordered breathing caused by running.

"Although I couldn't answer you in time that night, didn't I already tell you when we broke up?"

"—Although I feel troublesome occasionally, I don't regret it. I think it's a good thing to meet Mr. Dazai."

"Even after four years, the answer will not change, I never have, and I will not regret meeting you in the future."

The help she has received cannot be settled with a "thank you", and the feelings she owed cannot be evened out with a "sorry". Maybe it is better for the other party not to meet me.

For a while, there was only the slight sound of wind.

Osamu Dazai, who watched her quietly, gave a usual smile.

"Even if I'm bothering Riho now?"

"So you just wanted to ask this question?"

Yakai Riho exhaled slowly.

"Are you an insecure child?"

She looked at the pair of kite eyes that could not reveal any emotion and said seriously: "No matter how many times I repeat, I will not change my mind. To me, Mr. Dazai is a very gentle person, and an important person worth cherishing." .”

Then she frowned and asked, "Why don't you call me directly or come to me? You know..."

"You know that Riho is very afraid of me committing suicide, right?"

"I'm afraid that I will actually succeed in suicide."

"But it's because I know it that I use this method."

Osamu Dazai stood up, the windbreaker soaked in the river water was heavy and cold, but he didn't care.

"If it's just an ordinary phone call or meeting, Riho must be thinking about how to refuse or how to leave quickly and go back."

"Only when I'm committing suicide do I show this terribly worried expression."

Mihai Riho fell silent.

After she knew that the other party said that she would chase her again, she thought of rejecting it directly, and then calmed down and dealt with it coldly.

Dazai Osamu noticed her intention, and the so-called reminder was what she said when she went back in the middle of the night——

"Meeting friends should be a happy thing, but when I received a call in the middle of the night and heard that my friend had committed suicide and was picked up to meet something... it was not a surprise at all but a shock."

Facing herself who is not willing to have too much contact with him at present, this frightening method does not give her any room to refuse or avoid.

It's not that he's not angry, this person is relying on his understanding of himself, whether it's his pale face because he was soaked in the river water, or his innocent eyes with a slight smile, even if he knows The other party is pretending to be pitiful, and there is no way to let it go.

Whether it's the guilt of failing to live up to their relationship and breaking up four years ago, or the gratitude for receiving a lot of help and care, she owes them all.

Yakai Riho pursed her lips, looked at the other party, and spoke for a long time.

"Are you not worried that I failed to guess this place?"

"Didn't Riho guess it?"

There is a lightness in the unhurried words.

"Also, even if you don't guess it, it's just suicide as usual."

Then Osamu Dazai restrained all his frivolous expressions, looked down at the girl in front of him, and said in a soft tone: "Risui once said when I invited you to die in love together—why did you accompany me to die in love instead of me living with you?" ?”

When he thought of this memory, his heart trembled as if being submerged by turbulent waves. He couldn't wait to recall all the past, and wanted to drown in that strange emotion.

There was a gentle arc on the lips of the black-haired young man, and there was no longer a trace of truth revealed in the empty eyes.

"So, I didn't invite you to die for love again, so, are you willing to bear this sentence and live with me?"

Yakai Riho suddenly felt as if an extremely heavy weight of life was being pressed on her heart, she could hardly breathe, and she didn't even dare to look at the other party.

"As a friend, I would definitely like to."

"But I don't want to be Riho's friend." Osamu Dazai chuckled, and squatted down to hold her right hand, "How about your boyfriend?"

Yakai Riho recalled in a trance the afternoon when the other party confessed to herself.

Same words, same gestures as back then.

But this time her answer was——

"Sorry, I refuse."

Osamu Dazai closed his eyes to hide his emotions, and then said softly with half-closed eyes: "At least give me a chance to pursue."

"If it is determined that there is no hope, then there will definitely be no more stalking."

"After all..." The black-haired young man slowly gathered his palms to hold her hand, the smile on his lips had faded, "I don't want to be hated by Riho."

Yakai Riho opened her mouth, but couldn't immediately refuse.

"that……"

The white-haired boy who had been huddled by the side without making a sound finally raised his hand hesitantly and asked, "Is Mr. Dazai pursuing Miss Mikai?"

"Ah." Osamu Dazai looked at him as if he just remembered, "Auntori, you are still there."

Atsushi Nakajima: "??? Mr. Dazai?"

"Listen up, Ton-kun, let me teach you a very important thing in the workplace..." Osamu Dazai stood up and walked in front of the other party, and reached out to pat him on the shoulder, "Learning to read facial expressions and atmosphere is an indispensable thing in interpersonal communication." The missing part, you should leave silently at this time, you know?"

"Y-Is that so!?"

Atsushi Nakajima immediately stood up straight, with his hands hanging down and sticking to his sides, with a very trusting look.

"I understand, thank you Mr. Dazai for your teaching!"

"So if you disturb my relationship next time, don't complain even if your head is soaked in ochazuke."

Osamu Dazai patted him on the shoulder twice with a calm expression, then withdrew his hand.

"Ochazuke is innocent! Wait... in love!?"

Atsushi Nakajima had a shocked expression on his face.

"Didn't your pursuit be rejected!?"

Osamu Dazai's face was instantly cast into shadow, and he raised his tone slightly with a smile.

"I'll give you a chance to reorganize the language."

"I'm sorry I was wrong Mr. Dazai!"

Atsushi Nakajima said loudly like a big cat that was frightened by fright, "Even if you are rejected, please don't be discouraged and keep going! I believe you can do it!"

Then he turned to Yakai Riho and said sincerely: "Mr. Kunikida said that although Mr. Dazai is a hopeless bastard, his face is still acceptable. Please think about it for the sake of that face." !"

In fact, Kunikida Doppo's original words were - how many ignorant girls have been deceived by that bastard Dazai's face, although those victims basically changed their faces and slapped them back after knowing his true face and being invited to die in love.

Dazai Osamu: "..."

Atsushi Nakajima carefully looked at the indescribable expression on her face, moved to Osamu Dazai in small steps, stretched out his right hand to his mouth and asked in a low voice: "But Mr. Dazai, didn't you call Mr. Kunikida yesterday to say Have you found true love?"

"It's Riho."

After Osamu Dazai answered, Yakai Riho watched the white-haired boy's expression gradually become dull.

"Mr. Dazai, so you really attacked Ranpo-san's girlfriend!?"

Yakai Riho: "...???"
