Disqualification

[it's wired. ]Maxiu looked around at the Yokohama Wharf, where the iron containers were neatly arranged in a back shape, and the warehouses of the same type were two circles larger than their bodies. She turned around and looked at the sea. Wave after wave hit the embankment made of reinforced concrete, and seagulls flapped their snow-white wings and soared in the clear sky.

The jet streaked across the sky, leaving a white arc.

On the right is the building built with huge sums of money by the Yokohama Mafia. It is the tallest building in the port. The principle is to prevent the threat of snipers. The leader living at the highest level cannot be threatened by the outside world.

[Exactly the same. ] She thought, [It is exactly the same as Mr. Dazai's world that my senior and I set foot in. ]

But according to everyone in Chaldea, this is an extremely low-probability event, just like King Arthur had a male Arthur and a female Artoria, and the slightest difference is like flapping the wings of a butterfly, bringing Unparalleled hurricane change.

Mr. Dazai also said: "It is really books that support the existence of my world, right?"

"Book?"

"It's the tool that the Holy Grail becomes." Osamu Dazai said, "Has the power to construct the world. Frankly speaking, after seeing thousands of worlds, the Yokohama where I live can be described as abnormal, with its political system, economy, and foreign forces. Intertwined with the power of the country, education lags behind, and a large number of orphans live on the streets, I guess this is only the case in countries that are fighting." He shook his head, "It's a messy world."

[It’s a mess, but I didn’t see him showing hatred towards the world. Speaking of it, Mr. Dazai has the characteristics that are extremely difficult to like and hate. Mr. Merlin said that it is because he is full of malice towards life itself, so that what he sees Most of the happiness has evolved into tragedy in his eyes. ]

The predecessors also discovered the strangeness of the world.

Fujimaru Tatsuka's character didn't know whether to say it should be Ojo or calm, even if he saw the strangeness of Yokohama, he didn't express anything, just said: "Let's go to the church first."

"Church?" Matthew asked, "The one where Mr. Dazai is?"

"That's right." Fujimaru brushed her hair carelessly, "Maybe there are similarities," she pointed to the mafia building in the distance, "Architecturally speaking, the two worlds are exactly the same, right?"

"Okay, senior!"

……

[The first time I saw Mr. Dazai was in the church by the port of Yokohama. ]

In "Eternal Day", Yokohama is blessed by the power of the Holy Grail, and there are more inhuman monsters, and the power of those gangsters has also been blessed at different levels. Whitechapel.

There are as many foreigners in Yokohama as there are natives, and they are all blond and blue-eyed whites, so the number of churches is equivalent to that of Buddhist temples. The White Church is an unremarkable building near the port. The white cross, entering through the gate, looks similar to the furnishings of churches all over the world. The dark brown wooden boards are glued together with black cylindrical iron pipes to form rows of strip seats, and the left and right window frames are inlaid with stained glass. If there is any difference, it is the appearance of the internal cross, which imitates the concept of the Church of Light. In addition to the real cross, a cross is also cut out on the wall. On sunny days, the beam of light hits the praying person , as if passing the grace of the gods into the hearts of the people.

[He is like an angel. ]

Mash felt embarrassed when she thought about her own mental activities. Although Dazai was wearing a black windbreaker, the appearance of him kneeling on one knee and praying devoutly was something she could never forget for a long time. He was like a light absorbing body, easily gathering the The threads of light on the wall, whether it was dust or tiny floating life forms, lingered around him, dancing happily.

Matthew later asked him: "Do you believe in God like Miss Jeanne?"

"Of course not." Osamu Dazai said, "I don't believe in any gods."

[Why? ]

Matthew thought: [Then why are you praying devoutly to the gods? ]

Anyone who sees Osamu Dazai and his begging posture will never doubt the gravity and sincerity of his wishes.

"Mashu-kun knows, under what circumstances would a stubborn person who never believed in gods accept the existence of gods?" Dazai always called her Matthew-kun, and he maintained a polite attitude towards everyone and heroic spirits. The affixes of "Jun", "Mr" and "Miss" have greatly lengthened the distance between people.

——It was a lukewarm sense of alienation.

It's hard to imagine that he is the one who would give Oda Sakunosuke the nickname "Oda Saku".

"I don't know." Matthew said.

"First of all, you need to have a desire that you cannot give up. After countless attempts, you have reached the limit of what human beings can give, but you have not found a way to achieve it." He said, "The stronger you are, the more you believe in your own strength. The harder it is to accept your failure, and after the failure, you can only attribute your wishes to the gods."

"People will think: I have tried my best, and no one is more willing to pay for it than me, and work harder. If this fails, I can only give up, or ask God to see if there will be miracles that humans cannot achieve. .”

"It's really a very flattering idea."

Matthew said, "But I don't think Dazai-san is someone who will give up."

"Huh? I'm not the protagonist of the blood comic." He said with a smile.

"But, Mr. Dazai hasn't given up yet?" Matthew added, she naturally accepted that Dazai was talking about his own business.

"In my words, I didn't believe in the power of human beings from the very beginning." Osamu Dazai said, "Human beings are changeable, fragile, and powerless. We cheered for miracles, but it was issued with the power of ants to push stones. After knowing one's own weakness, one should remain vigilant and seek help from everything that can help oneself. Belief in gods is only a one in ten million chance of a higher life form to respond. "

"In his affairs, I am willing to give my soul for one in ten million."

"That's the cheapest thing."

……

On the way to the church, I met many monsters affected by the Holy Grail. The intensity was similar to that of a day cycle. It has been a long time since that time. Both Matthew and Fujimaru Tachika have grown up, and they entered the White Church smoothly.

It maintains the tradition of the armistice zone, not to mention the inside of the church, even the outside is empty, and the beasts lingering in the gaps of the building dare not break through the outer periphery of the White Church, as if there are some savage beasts inside.

Matthew noticed that an adult was sitting on a wooden chair in the third row from the left. The sunlight pierced through the hollow cross on the wall and passed him precisely. His coat was very light, but he seemed to be sitting in a dark In the shadow, the atmosphere around him was too obscure, and the sense of fear lurking in the shadow invisibly infected everyone who entered the White Church.

After hearing the unnatural sound brought by Matthew and Tachika Fujimaru, the man turned his head. His movements were a little slow. Matthew could see a blunt mechanical feeling from him, like a machine made of countless bearings, screws, and wire tubes. She has a natural sensitivity to the lagging response when the composed machine starts.

But when she saw the person's face, she was amazed: "Mr. Odasaku?"

……

In "Eternal Day", Matthew and his predecessors met Mr. Odasaku, and the two parties even reached a good cooperation. It can be said that Mr. Odasaku was able to stop Dazai Osamu and let him give up infinite reincarnation.

"It's more or less a guess." Don't underestimate the killer's intuition, "Dazai's sense of despair is completely different from the day before. Sometimes I pass by some buildings and I will feel inexplicably familiar. According to your Say, did I die there?" He was able to face his own death calmly.

"What are you going to do?" Oda Saku asked, "If you want to stop Dazai, take me with you."

Mash is a little strange, Osamu Dazai's behavior is for Oda Tsukuru in the final analysis, to revive him, and the rejection of the person concerned, she even wonders if it is his rejection of Dazai's behavior.

Fujimaru Tachika would always express what was in her heart, and she asked, "Is this okay? Osamu Dazai opened Eternal Day for you."

Oda Saku showed a slightly confused expression: "I probably understand what you mean, but that won't shake my judgment," he said, "Dazai must be the most painful, whether it is failing to save me or seeing me again and again. Death, as a friend, I value his experience more, so I hope you can stop him and forcibly ban his attempt."

"Forcibly prohibited." Fujimaru Tachika repeated.

"Yes." Oda Saku said, "Stop his behavior, break the infinitely repeating world, and stop him from restarting the world, that is to say, force him to stop."

"Perhaps he can find someone he cares more about and something more interesting, instead of just being entangled in me, his future will be better."

[Essentially, this is what friends should say. ] When hearing it for the first time, Mash didn't think there was anything wrong with Odasaku's words, but she could also see the faint worry in the other's eyes.

[What is he worried about? ]

When Osamu Dazai was summoned from Chaldea, Mash finally understood what Oda was thinking at that time.

[I hope he can forget me and give up on me, but if he is really unwilling to give up and put his life on saving me, how can he get out?In the final analysis, it brought him nothing but more tragedies. ] From Dazai Osamu's eyes, he saw the dark past that cannot be explored, and the future that is as dark as shadows.

……

"Odasaku." Oda Sakunosuke was stunned for a moment. He hadn't heard this name for a long time. After the Esoteric Secret Service Division announced its withdrawal from Yokohama, Sakaguchi Ango terminated the latent mission of the port mafia, and Dazai Osamu...

In short, the three words "Oda Zuo" were sealed in the depths of the sea of ​​memory.

Both Matthew and Fujimaru Tachika are very beautiful children. They are fresh and delicate, like sunny flowers stretching their waists in the sun. Yokohama slums cannot raise such children, and the roads between the outside world and this seaside city are used. Tank mortar reinforced concrete poured walls for isolation.

He also clearly felt that the two children were not hostile, and that they did not know what he had done waiting in Whitechapel.

So Oda asked, "Did you enter Yokohama by mistake? Do you need me to guide you?" He said, "It's not easy to get out of this city."

"No." Fujimaru Tachika said, "We are here to look for you."

"Looking for me?" Oda asked.

"Do you know Osamu Dazai?"

When the words Dazai Osamu came out, Oda Tsukuru changed, the light in his eyes was dispelled and returned to a stagnant water, and the gentle arc of the corner of his mouth became a straight line. He turned back into an efficient robot, abandoning all human beings. emotion.

"I know." Oda replied with an inorganic voice, "What do you want?"

"..." This reaction is not good.Mash had the same guess as Fujimaru Tachika, who asked, "Is he still alive?"

"He's dead," Odasaku said, "before the city fell into turmoil."

They spent some time listening to Odasaku tell stories. Dazai mentioned it many times to the ladies of Chaldea. His friend Odasaku aspires to be a novelist, and he is also very talented in literature. Get a newcomer award when you make your debut.Excellent novelists are good at constructing stories, and even a plain history can be told vividly by him.

In this world, Osamu Dazai became the beginning of the chaos. He was the leader of the port mafia and a friend of Odasaku. He took over the position of the leader of the port mafia. Judging from the relationship between the two, it is not a good choice to let Dazai take the top position. Mori's old department may think that he adheres to the traditional assassination of the leader, but the higher-ups know that he has unparalleled wisdom. It is the key to the port mafia's survival in the coming flood.

Dazai did a good job. He stabilized the situation, ruled out dissidents, and expanded the sphere of influence of the port mafia. Yokohama, which welcomes cargo ships [-] months a year, has been included in the ice-free port, let alone Kanto, even Osaka and Kyoto. The figures of Mori Co., Ltd.'s subordinates can be seen.

The local foreign powers in Yokohama were squeezed out, the Russians were hiding like rats in the sewer, and the government couldn't find a way to intervene in the city. Yokohama was like an iron barrel that was tightly guarded.

Until the "book" came out.

Those politicians, dignitaries, and people with supernatural powers in the world have all heard of "books". Some people believe that as long as they have books, they can have the power to change the world, reverse life and death and black and white, and make bones bloom.

On a certain day, the news spread to every corner of the world like an albatross with wings. The book was written in Dazai, the leader of the port mafia, and it was "Complete Sex" that he never let go of his right hand.

Of course, the port mafia will not admit that it monopolizes the treasure, but people who know the secret come from all over the world, and they are secretly manipulated, completely ignoring the lack of logic and imprecise language in the rumors. It seems that they have seen Dazai Like holding a book.

Wave after wave, wave after wave.

People poured into Yokohama like a flood, the government colluded with civil organizations, the rats of the dead house peeked through the gaps in the manhole cover of the sewer, and the attendants of the clock tower negotiated with the Ministry of Health and Welfare on the surface, but secretly arranged for people to sneak into Japan.

Under the intricate collusion of various forces, an assassination of the century against Osamu Dazai was freshly released.

"The Central Plains cadres who protected Dazai have also been restrained." Oda Saku said, "A powerful person with supernatural powers was borrowed from the United States. It is said that he is a descendant of the Outer God. He is immortal and can survive by absorbing nutrients in the air like a tree. .”

"The ability of the Zhongyuan cadre is the most powerful and destructive in the port mafia, so he took on the heavy responsibility of protecting Dazai. But his body also has limits. I was not in Yokohama at the time, and I was sent to Hokkaido on business. When I came back At that time, I heard that the cadres of the Central Plains had shed their human skins and turned into monsters that blazed with flames when they breathed out.

I asked, "Dazai! How is Dazai?"

The surviving security guard was an acquaintance who had seen him before. He lost his left hand in the assassination that almost changed the situation in Yokohama. He told me that Dazai was blown up into meteors in the sky, leaving only an unrecognizable body. A charred corpse with a face.

[To be honest, I didn’t believe it at first, this is Dazai, how could that Dazai who couldn’t kill himself no matter what, be easily besieged and killed, and become a victim of power? ]

Mash and Tachika Fujimaru looked like children, and they eagerly urged Odasaku to continue: "Then he has a golden cicada to escape his shell?" It was Mash who spoke.

"No." Oda Saku said calmly, "He is indeed dead, he died together with the Central Plains cadres.

……

[I have regretted countless times, why I wasn’t in Yokohama that day, why I wasn’t by his side, and I couldn’t block the knife for him. These eyes that live with the most seamless eyes are useless. If I can play the role of bodyguard, I can also laugh out loud sound. ]

[It's a pity that I'm not in Yokohama. When I stepped on the deck and crawled on the bow to feel the salty sea breeze, a huge mushroom cloud rose from the port under the blue sky. ]

[At that moment, I suddenly realized that I was missing something forever. ]

Odasaku wiped his left / wheel / hand / gun, and filled them with slow ammo depots in a meticulous manner.

[Calmly——]

He sat all night in a pew in Whitechapel, and when he awoke he had made up his mind.

Oda Saku thought: [I will make the person who killed Dazai pay the price. ]
