"This is a samurai sword forged by ancient methods. It doesn't use any modern craftsmanship, and the sharpness is not very good... Why don't you sell it to me, I am willing to pay a high price for collection..."

Dare to open a shop related to forging weapons in Yokohama, regardless of whether it is a cold weapon or not, it is more or less connected to the underground world. The owner of the shop seems to persuade him earnestly, but actually avoids some questions, such as whether such ancient crafts are rare. , how about the material.

After listening to his nonsense, Osamu Dazai, who had no background, dug into his pockets, wallets, paper clips, mobile phones, "Complete Suicide Manual", but did not find a prop that was convenient to threaten others.

So, he pulled off Hyakkimaru's left arm, and with a clang, the snow-white light of the sword flashed, and he put the sword inlaid on the left forearm of Hyakkimaru on the opponent's neck.

This sincerity is enough.

The boss was startled: "Wait! I'm willing to exchange ten swords that are on sale!"

"I don't have time to listen to your ramblings. Hand over the samurai sword that Nakahara Chuya asked you to repair." Osamu Dazai quickly learned what he came into contact with, and what he learned in the port mafia was violence.Recently, he was assassinated in various ways in the underground world, and he said playfully, "Look at this sword of mine, if you swipe it lightly on your neck, will it become sharper?"

The boss admitted painfully: "Yes, very sharp, I was wrong..."

Osamu Dazai said: "Hurry up, if you take one step slower, I will have to pay your grandson the final payment."

"I don't have a grandson." The boss was surprised.

Osamu Dazai happily explained: "If you don't have a grandson, you will have a granddaughter. This will make it easier to deal with your affairs."

boss:"……"

He endured it, if it wasn't for the sake of that young man's murderous intent!

The toolman's Hyakkimaru maintained an unchanged posture throughout the whole process. He would not kill the white flame of life, but for colors other than white...it depends on the situation.

Clearly, the store's insatiable owner is not in the "safe" category.

Osamu Dazai paid the balance with Mori Ogai's wallet, and he didn't take any extra cents, and he didn't owe any extra cents.He hung the restored samurai sword on the waist of Hyakkimaru, nodded, and had a sense of accomplishment playing a game: "With the feeling of a swordsman who has fallen from his family, how about we go to the kendo dojo to kick the restaurant next time?" ?”

Hyakkimaru watched "her" positive flame of life with his heart eyes, and the left hand made of prosthetic limbs slightly bent the knuckles, wanting to hold the opponent's hand instead of being held by the opponent's wrist.

Osamu Dazai dodged suddenly, waved his hands and said, "It's disgusting, two men don't hold hands."

Hyakkimaru sensed that the handshake failed, and felt empty.

[I have no experience in dating. 】

Not knowing what to do in the afternoon, Osamu Dazai took Hyakkimaru along and watched while walking. Whenever there was danger, Hyakkimaru would pull him away, so that the two of them walked without any sense of crisis.

A gathering place for stray cats.

Clusters of trumpet life flames gathered on the dark ground.

After buying some bread and ham at the commissary, Osamu Dazai taught Hyakkimaru how to feed the cats. The two uncaring people unexpectedly showed some tenderness.

After all, boring people can do anything.

"I like cats more than dogs."

Osamu Dazai spread out Hyakkimaru's palm and put in pieces of bread, attracting the cats to come and lick them.

"Cats won't cling to you, and they will leave happily when it's time to separate. Even small animals know that no one will be with you forever, but human beings are more like dogs. Give some benefits and come sniffing. If you are full, you still want to stay by your side and wait for the second free meal..."

He turned his head to look at Hyakkimaru who was feeding the cat with his head bowed in "Concentration". His black hair always covered half of his face when he lowered his head, revealing a small half of his delicate face.

Perhaps suffering imparts a unique temperament.

Hyakkimaru will never be able to be a middle school student who should stay in the classroom and bury his head in his books.

He put the half-stripped ham sausage directly on the top of Hyakkimaru's head, and as expected, a fat and courageous cat stood up straight and reached for the ham sausage with two paws.

Hyakkimaru's expression remained unchanged, his face was blocked by Fat Cat's body, and he couldn't see other flames.

At the same time, "Dororo" is no longer visible...

When Hyakkimaru moved its head, the ham sausage fell and rolled around on the ground, and the cats rushed over to share it. The fat cat who stood up at the beginning let out a squawk and ran over to eat the last residue.

"Is Hyakkimaru looking at me?" Osamu Dazai said after the prank was over.

Osamu Dazai peeled off the next piece of sausage, removed the opponent's mask a little, and fed it to this unique stray "cat", "What do I look like in the eyes of Hyakkimaru?"

[Is Dororo's food enough? 】

Hyakkimaru made a biting movement and swallowed the tasteless ham sausage.

in return for food.

Hyakkimaru, who has never been treated kindly by anyone other than his adoptive father in this life, squatted on the ground, closed his scary mask, and without any external objects or money, he brought the sword on his waist to Osamu Dazai.

"Give it to me?"

Osamu Dazai bent his fingertips, flicked Hyakkimaru's masked face, and said confidently: "You give me the money I paid, and I will put it on your right hand? Didn't I lose money?"

The precious sword in Hyakkimaru's hand was not taken, and he looked at Osamu Dazai quietly.

【I only have this...】

There is only one hundred yen in a pocket, and the meaning of giving away all the hundred yen is completely different from having a bank card in the pocket, but giving away the rest of the cash.

The sword is the only gift that Hyakkimaru can give.

Osamu Dazai's eyes reflected the sword, realizing its preciousness to Hyakkimaru, he said lightly: "I don't have anything to thank you for, and I don't think I've helped you. Give back your left leg..."

Even, Osamu Dazai thought that it would be better for Hyakkimaru to stay in Leibo Street and be taken in by the sheep organization.

Don't have to be involved in the boss change of the port mafia.

Hyakkimaru's stubbornness was silent and firm, but Dazai Osamu did not give in too much, and directly picked up a stray cat in his hands, blocking Hyakkimaru's sight that seemed to be able to see through the soul.

Great concealment technique, so you can't see it!

【…】

Finding that "Dororo" was blocked again, Hyakkimaru surrendered dejectedly.He wanted to see the life flame of "Dororo" all the time, not the life flame of small animals.

Osamu Dazai proudly shook the stray cat in his hand, but the price was that the cat scratched his paws twice.

"hiss!"

afterwards.

Osamu Dazai ate up the few remaining ham sausages and bread.

Who stipulated that he would only eat dog food, once he became ruthless, he would not let go of even cat food!

On the way back, Osamu Dazai and Hyakkimaru walked along the river again. Among them, Osamu Dazai looked at the river with great interest and said something that scared ordinary people to death: "The recent turmoil in Yokohama is too big, and many people died. You can see the floating corpse..." He stuck out his tongue, "Slightly, after being shot and then drowned in water, this kind of death is too painful, it's better to shoot to the temple."

He suddenly looked at the sky that had become so dark in the afternoon, chatting alone.

"I don't know if it's the problem of people with supernatural powers. There seems to be an urban rumor in the Tsurumi River. There are monsters that grab the feet of passers-by by the river and pull them into the water... The dead often lack internal organs..."

As soon as the words fell, Hyakkimaru who was beside Dazai Osamu's walking speed became sluggish.

But he was still walking, following Osamu Dazai.

At the same time, there were dragging marks on the wet soil by the river, and there was "something" in the water that stirred the river.Osamu Dazai dreamily said, "Do you think it will be a mermaid? Or a clam spirit living in the river?"

[...Evil things. 】

Hyakkimaru's heart eyes moved from the front of "Dororo" to the bottom.

Wet palm prints appeared on his feet.

The Hyakkimaru, whose soul exudes the power of the demon god, is a bright light in the dark. The red flames on his body are evil and weak, and his whole body is full of the temptation of "food". With great power, they can become extremely powerful.

In the modern age where monsters hide from the world and the air is deficient in aura, killing attracts evil creatures from afar.

The new kappa in the Tsurumi River has scarlet eyes, staring at the two people walking by the river, the one who walks faster is discussing it desperately, while the one who walks slower is simply delicious in the world.

As long as... two people are eaten...

ate……

The kappa hid in the muddy Tsurumi River, exerting force constantly, trying to drag the black-haired boy into the water.But instead of falling into the Tsurumi River, Hyakkimaru caused the Kappa to be dragged away.

It jumped ashore!

Frog-like limbs hugged Hyakkimaru's legs.

【Appeared. 】

A ripple called "hunting" rippled in the heart lake of Hyakkimaru.

At this moment, Osamu Dazai turned around and took two steps back abruptly.Hyakkimaru drew his sword out, and his long hair drew a straight black line. The killing intent seemed to spew out from an ice spring, and the sword slashed towards the place where his feet connected to the river!

The never-before-seen sword energy seems to exist in the air, fierce and violent, tearing apart invisible enemies!

This is not some onmyoji.

This is not a psychic who exorcises demons.

The Slayer is just a human boy who cannot see, hear, or speak.Osamu Dazai felt as if he had witnessed a scene that broke the mundane world, so he didn't dare to look at it without blinking.

"Impossible ahhhhhhhhhh!!!"

The kappa's scream was like water waves exploding, Osamu Dazai covered his buzzing ears.

Under the splashing water curtain, Hyakkimaru retracted the sword, his face was covered with water drops, and the sword body was flowing with a strange liquid that was more transparent than river water, slowly dripping down, it was the blood of the Kappa in Hyakki Night Walk.

Its body was beheaded and shattered by the river.

Frightened before dying.

This power...is not spiritual power...it is even more evil than the evil monsters...

[So weak. 】

Hyakkimaru slayed the first evil thing in two months, and thought to himself.He didn't see a wonderful fight in his eyes, split the red flame of life in half, and the flame turned into blue smoke and disappeared.

Osamu Dazai walked over and touched the transparent liquid with his fingertips, and the liquid disappeared even faster.

In the blink of an eye, the Kappa has changed from a dead body to a dead body.

"What?" Dazai Osamu sniffed at his fingertips, the fishy smell of river water remained, and he was immediately disgusted, "Wow, it's so dirty, the mermaids raised in Tsurumi River must not be mermaids!"

Hyakkimaru couldn't smell these smells, just like completing a rare and ordinary thing, shaking off the blood of the evil thing on the sword, retracting the sheath, and the cold killing intent against the evil thing disappeared together.

The "doll" is quiet and docile, so well-behaved that she can't see the feat of killing monsters just now with a mortal body.

Osamu Dazai wiped his fingers and looked at him meaningfully.

"I found out."

You've killed many, many... unknown things.

Hyakkimaru, who has been looking for something, is not looking for a heinous person, but a "thing" that ordinary people can't see. This "thing" will also attack Hyakkimaru first.

Hyakkimaru has never concealed its goal of action - to find evil things and demon gods, and kill them!In the past 14 years, he has sharpened his combat power and transformed the knowledge in books into his ability to survive. He cannot be said to be stronger than himself in the original book, but he must strike harder.He was about to take a few steps when he suddenly stopped and touched his foot, feeling that the prosthetic had been pulled away from his leg a little.

【It's not good, it's inconvenient to walk...】

Hyakkimaru felt a little helpless, without his adoptive father, there would be no one to help him adjust his prosthetic limbs.

"It fell off?" Osamu Dazai was slightly stunned, and bent down to help put the prosthesis on.

He suddenly realized a serious problem.

The face is secondary. Hyakkimaru's body is in a developing stage, and the prosthetic limbs cannot keep up with his growth, which will cause the pieced together body to lose its function, and the false spine on the back will make him unable to stand up again!

No wonder Mr. Sen didn't remind him that the next cooperation is waiting for him here.

He needs money, contacts, background...

to save people.
