【Dororo...】

[Where is this place, there are so many white flames of life. 】

Hyakkimaru lived in the era of war and famine, and he has never seen so many souls who are not numb and depraved.

People generally don't have enough to eat and don't wear warm clothes. As long as they are given a little money, they can release the demons that are suppressed in their hearts and become evil people that are not inferior to evil things.In the impression of Hyakkimaru walking alone, the white flame of life usually looks at him from afar, and will not approach easily. Gentle and kind people are usually weak and timid.

Then, why are these people willing to surround themselves and light up the darkness?

[They...are they trying to help me? 】

The transparent Hyakkimaru captures their kindness across the logic of thinking.

Traveling so far, he and the world of "Dororo" are separated by a dark barrier, relying on the scarce knowledge in his cognition, the only thing he can trust is "Dororo" in his hand.It's not that he doesn't want to go home to see his adoptive father, but the inertia of the plot reminds him that if he wants to defeat the demon god and retrieve his organs, he must follow the fate set by God.

Just wait, he'll be back.

After getting what fate gave him back, he will definitely go to see his adoptive father and thank that man.

Hyakkimaru felt that "Dororo" was holding tightly, but he calmed down, sketched the lines of the opponent's slender fingers in his mind, and shook his hand back, responding to the desire to save himself.

[I never hated the world. 】

[Please don't be sad, I will try my best to save myself and grab any hope. 】

A look of surprise flashed across Dazai Osamu's eyes.

Hyakkimaru... Can you understand what I mean by bringing him here?

Immediately afterwards, Osamu Dazai raised the corner of his mouth after the discussion had been made, pulled out his hand, and knocked Hyakkimaru on the head.

"Don't think about it, the doctor will be here soon!"

The behavior of the boy wearing a human face mask to appease Osamu Dazai did not escape the eyes of others.Even though the mask may be extremely ugly, the light that never compromises on suffering and sticks to humanity in the dark has penetrated the seemingly normal skin, giving people an indescribable spiritual touch.

It seemed that even the gods were pitying him.

Reluctant to let him die, give him a chance to live, and give him hope of treatment.

Every member of the Armed Detective Agency has been tested and has a common belief. They naturally sympathize with Hyakkimaru's experience and are willing to save this person first without negotiating conditions.

"I don't stick to justice, I don't stick to human feelings, I don't stick to shame."

This is Butei's code of conduct!

The goodwill of the members and interns towards the two clients reached a high level when Dr. Xie Ye judged the prosthetic limb at once, frowned, and walked over in high heels.

They still don't know what kind of scene Fukuzawa Yukichi wants them to see.

Yosano Akiko walked quickly to Hyakkimaru and examined the injured patient closely.Then, she glanced at Osamu Dazai, who had a somewhat hypocritical temperament, and asked, "Are you his friend?"

Osamu Dazai was vague: "It's about the same."

friend?

What is that... Does he and Hyakkimaru meet the definition of "friend"?

She rolled her eyes with Yosano Akiko: "Is it true that friends are more or less the same? You are able to bring him to me, I am afraid that after many inquiries, there is no information about me in the Armed Detective Agency."

Once the military's angel of death, today's social doctor has turned to be gentle with Hyakkimaru.

"How did you become like this?"

Hyakkimaru looks at "Dororo" on the left, and the white flame in front of him on the right. The newly appeared white flame has a soft feeling, and the edge of the flame burns into flocculation. If the flame of "Dororo" is like a fire in the dark A smear of pure white graffiti, the stranger's flame is like fluffy white cotton.

【I recalled something from my previous life...】

Hyakkimaru, who can't answer anyone, faces strangers with an indifferent puppet attitude.

autistic...

Daily cold, there is a chance to follow the cologne style in the future.

"Miss, he can't hear you." Dazai Osamu answered her with a smile instead of Hyakkimaru, "His name is Hyakkimaru, he is about fourteen or fifteen years old, he is missing many important organs, and he relies on artificial limbs to maintain the ability to walk. It is better for you to judge the situation yourself, we are all laymen compared to you."

Admitting his shortcomings in front of the doctor will undoubtedly restore a little goodwill with Akiko Yosano.

Yosano Akiko asked Edogawa Ranpo with his eyes, Edogawa Ranpo stopped eating biscuits, chewed the bear biscuits and said: "The president will not appear in the office, all decisions are left to you. "

He took the initiative to turn the chair around and turned his back to the others: "I'll be fine like this."

Dazai Osamu: "..."

This scene is a bit familiar, isn't it something I did before?

Sighing, Dazai took a step back and came behind Hyakkimaru.In order not to let Hyakkimaru turn around with him, he did not let go of the left hand he was holding, and pressed the opponent's shoulder.

Reduce the risk.

OK, this is convenient for the doctor to check without being stimulated.

"Doctor, please."

After a series of procedures, Dazai Osamu spoke seriously for the first time to Yosano Akiko who met for the first time.

Please finish the inspection as calmly as Mr. Mori!

"Check here?" Yosano Akiko was not very happy, but Edogawa Ranpo said: "Well, I suggested it, let them take a look, this is what our armed detective agency will have to face sooner or later things." The detective looked at Osamu Dazai from the corner of his eye, and there were some words that did not need to be said.

——This is the price of treatment.

Osamu Dazai agreed: "Don't worry, Hyakkimaru won't care about your comments."

Whether you like it or hate it, it has no meaning to Hyakkimaru, and only those you trust can accompany him.

He raised the corners of his mouth, even though he didn't know how long he would be with Hyakkimaru, but finding something interesting in life was much better than numbly looking for it.

【Hyakkimaru, I want you to see clearly this non-black and non-white world. 】

【for me……】

[Let's go and feel it. 】

In the open space of the office of the Armed Detective Agency, Hyakkimaru's face mask was carefully removed by Akiko Yosano, and she was caught off guard by the face with the missing organs and skin peeled off.Her hands trembled, she missed the edge of the mask, and Osamu Dazai snatched it back before she dropped it.

"Be careful, doctor."

His voice was clear and piercing in the silent office.

Kunikida Doppo was horrified, the blood color suddenly disappeared from his face, Tian Shan Hanakou's dozing eyes suddenly widened, he wrapped the quilt, his head was hidden in the quilt, and his whole body trembled.

"This, this is Mister Hundred Ghosts?!"

Kiraka Haruno who came back from the president's office screamed and backed away, leaning against the wall in fear.

She was stunned with Yosano Akiko, and the five fingers touched Hyakkimaru's face that had lost everything. Compared with the horror experienced by Haruno Haruko, she was truly evoked by the memory of the battlefield.

A dark memory rose from her mind, the exhaustion and despair of the soldiers, the blood in the war-torn land, as if there was no end to the war... just like this skinless face, deprived of its beauty, revealing its cruel inner heart, It aroused a strong sense of sadness in her heart.

Why... humans always hurt each other like this.

"He can see you."

Osamu Dazai's brisk tone sounds like the most indifferent narration.

"I forgot to tell you one thing, his spine is also fake, remember to take it out during treatment."

It's just that he avoided staring at Hyakkimaru's face, avoided looking at the reflection in Yosano Akiko's eyes, and lowered his eyes to feel the calmness of Hyakkimaru when his mask was removed.

Is this doctor a good person?

Just as you trust good people, you trust people who haven't killed anyone.

Yosano Akiko couldn't believe it at all: "Unless it is a supernatural ability, he can't see me!"

Osamu Dazai said, "The doctor might as well give it a try."

Yosano Akiko ruthlessly tried to touch this face, and the moment she was about to do so, Hyakkimaru grabbed her hand.Hyakkimaru slowly put down the stranger's hand, the eyes with the two holes were not as peaceful as those on the mask, and there were no upturned eyes and a beautiful boy's face.

He is the misfortune of misfortune, the ugly of ugliness, he will lose everything since he was born!

Hyakkimaru cried.

In the only moment when he was born, he cried aloud.

The mothers, maids, and nurses in the delivery room have all heard of it. However, after the lightning and thunder, he was deprived of twelve important organs by the demon god. The bones that lost the skin have not yet had a complete muscle layer, and blood is flowing , the bare body of the human body without limbs scared everyone, and the sharp cry of the baby became the only sound of Hyakkimaru seeking to survive in the world.

The statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva was placed on the side of the delivery room, with Baikiwan on the front. The statue was beheaded by an invisible force after the baby was born, and it only had time to protect his life.

Since then, he has become like this.

Yosano Akiko didn't know about Hyakkimaru's past, and was in a trance, especially when he heard Dazai Osamu's words stabbed deep in his heart: "Hyakkimaru's spiritual eyes can distinguish good from evil, and others cannot easily approach him. It seems to him that the lady doctor is a good person."

A simple sentence made Yosano Akiko's eyes shed tears.

"Am I a good person..."

The angel of death who forced the soldiers to die, kept recovering, and finally committed suicide in the collapse of the battlefield, was actually considered a good person by a boy without eyes after many years.

She didn't kill a single person, countless soldiers were desperate because of her and hated her.

She... didn't save the person she wanted to save.

Edogawa Ranpo answered unexpectedly: "That's right, you are a doctor who saves lives and heals the wounded, the most important member of our armed detective agency, he will think you are a good person and he has seen your heart."

Yosano Akiko was shocked.

Osamu Dazai smiled, "Inner heart?"

Edogawa Ranpo refused to look back, sitting on a chair with his legs bent and looking at the scenery, his back was like the mysterious person in the poster.

He said with certainty that his analytical power was superior to that of Osamu Dazai.

"None of us here has killed anyone, and we have never committed crimes for selfish desires. Due to past professional reasons, the president cannot be a good person in the eyes of Hyakkimaru, but the members of our armed detective agency are all people who stand on the stand of justice. What kind of person we are, what kind of person the president is!"

In the end, Edogawa Ranpo worked hard to clean up Fukuzawa Yukichi, which inspired the members.

Wipe off excess fragile feelings with Akiko Yosano, and face Hyakkimaru squarely.

"The first time I met, I was Yosano Akiko, the social doctor of the Armed Detective Agency. I don't know if you can feel me talking, thank you for your recognition of me, my superpower is 'Please don't die', I can Let the dying person perfectly recover to a healthy state."

This is a supernatural ability that will be flocked to by the outside world.

"Do not worry……"

A 17-year-old girl who had experienced war went to disassemble his prosthetic limbs. With the help of Dazai Osamu, he put the Hyakkimaru with lost limbs on the seat. Dazai Osamu blocked the crippled limbs of Hyakkimaru with his body. Yosano Akiko alone could see clearly.

"I will definitely let you return to the posture of a normal person."

The supernatural ability "Please don't die" is the spiritual portrayal of Yosano Akiko: Please don't die.

After making up his mind, Yosano Akiko and Yosano Akiko's hands that touched Hyakkimaru's shoulders emitted a light of supernatural power, and rose-red spots floated out, as if tiny butterflies were flying.The supernatural power enveloped the Hyakkimaru, without a trace of evil, like the recovery power of life, there is no need to cut the opponent into a seriously injured state first!

because!This person has always been on the verge of death!

Dazai let go of his hand.

Hyakkimaru was overwhelmed by the glaring light that erupted in the darkness, and instinctively turned his head to Osamu Dazai, and his lost hands recovered little by little under the power of the healing ability.Bones and muscles really grew out of his left forearm, turning into a palm little by little!

His face was recovering skin, and the eyes, nose, and lips appeared correspondingly. Half of the unsightly hideous muscle layer covered the face of a human teenager—that was a face that was even more outstanding than a mask.

There is nothing more miraculous than this!

From the extreme ugliness, the beauty that human beings should have is born.

Hyakkimaru suddenly escaped from the darkness, his pupils could not see anything clearly under the dazzling white light, he instinctively looked for "Dororo" behind him, panicked.

Whenever, wherever, "Dororo" is the direction of his sight.

Osamu Dazai showed a dry smile.

"Hundred Ghost Pills..."

His heart turned out to be nervous, his face was stiff, and he wanted to show his good side.

What kind of smile is it? Can Hyakkimaru accept such a smile?

however.

Osamu Dazai discovered that the "growth" of Hyakkimaru stopped, and only half of the facial skin recovered, while the other half was still peeled off.His gray-brown pupils were still empty, and there was no focus on him in them, but precious tears kept spilling out.

"What's going on?!" Osamu Dazai exclaimed angrily.

With Yosano Akiko's breathing stagnation, there is no way that there will be problems with the omnipotent supernatural power!

"Hundred Ghost Pills!"

Osamu Dazai wanted to touch him, but he didn't dare to let the "disqualification in the world" take effect on the other party.

After the miracle on Hyakkimaru paused, it rewinded instantly. His skin disappeared, and the grown limbs lost their muscles first, and then lost their bones, returning to the appearance of severed arms and legs.

The step that Yosano Akiko and Yosano Akiko were about to use a scalpel to remove the fake spine also stopped.

She turned pale with shock.

"..."

The supernatural ability applied to Hyakkimaru has failed.

From the darkness to seeing the light, and then sinking into the darkness from the glaring white light in just a few tens of seconds, Hyakkimaru couldn't feel the complete feeling, but he felt the real feeling at the moment of tears.

【I... just recovered? 】

[Why is it still dark, or the world that the mind sees? ! ! 】

Hyakkimaru's stable spirit began to be confused and hit.

Edogawa Ranpo jumped off the chair, rushed over, and looked at the terrifying true face.He first covered his shocked eyes, and then said with difficulty.

"It's a power similar to a curse."

"impossible!"

Dazai Osamu had already put his hands on Hyakkimaru's body, and he didn't care to see his face, trying to get rid of the negative power that took away the organs from Hyakkimaru: "My power can eliminate all supernatural powers!"

"But—" Edogawa Ranpo raised his head and said, "What if it's not a different ability."

Osamu Dazai lost his voice and his eyes darkened.

This fact that he didn't want to face was finally revealed, cruel and merciless, which made Hyakkimaru become such a person after birth, not a person with supernatural powers, but an unknown existence.

The power of "curse" is imprinted on Hyakkimaru's body, full of malice.

-Your body cannot be whole.

Hyakkimaru sensed that his face was being wiped by someone, and the mask was not put back on. The person who always avoided looking directly at his entire face stood in front of him, illuminating the front with a white flame of life.

Such light is not dazzling, soft and harmless.

【Dororo...】

His pupils had vanished from their sockets, and the tears that flowed proved that the eyes had existed.

【I still haven't seen you clearly...】

The fractures of the limbs were smooth and flat, and the lost skin was due to the tearing of the muscle layer, and the bandages were stained with blood.

The whole body of Hyakkimaru is dripping with hot blood of human beings, trembling quietly and slightly, and its mutilation is shockingly incomplete, which at the same time proves how terrifying the limit of human endurance is.

Osamu Dazai hugged him, and said beside the earless hair.

"Don't cry."

"It just didn't work once."

The young man who remembered the true face of Hyakkimaru and saw the ugly face clearly smelled blood, and the white shirt on his upper body was also stained with the opponent's blood, and became dirty together. There was no false look on his face. Smile, flat, and speak to the deaf in a relaxed way.

"You see, the darkness is blocked by me. If you can't see this world, you don't see it."

In the world of the mind's eye.

The youth's flame of life truly blocked the darkness for him.

The boiling demon power was suppressed, and the crimson light spread all over Hyakkimaru's soul itself, eroding his spirit, and could never pollute the pure white flame of life.

Human beings are sometimes very fragile, and sometimes they can survive with just a little warmth.

The same goes for Hyakkimaru.

He lost the world and got his own "Dororo".
