Complete Survival Manual

Atsushi Nakajima stood in the corner.

In the past two years, the white god of death of the port mafia has rarely lost his composure to the outside world. Most of the time, this young mafia executive is quiet. Angry backwater.

People who don't know Atsushi Nakajima usually don't associate a thin boy with the words murder and arson, but Atsushi Nakajima is a real mafia fighter.After he turned into a beast, the tearing and bloody way of harvesting the enemy's head was very different from his usual appearance, which left a serious psychological shadow on many subordinates.

Fulfilling the leader's orders and tearing apart the enemies blocking the way are all the meaning of this young man's existence.

Such was Atsushi Nakajima, who seemed a little distracted after completing the task of the leader today.

"Dun." Quan Jinghua looked up at him, "Have you encountered any trouble?"

Atsushi Nakajima: "It's a big trouble." His fingers rubbed the heavy iron ring around his neck, and his orange pupils narrowed uncontrollably, "Kyoka, when I went to the Armed Detective Agency, I I met a black beast that can block my attack. It is a powerful superhuman who has never been included in the intelligence network, and it will be difficult to deal with as an enemy."

"You care about him very much." Quan Jinghua expressed Atsushi Nakajima's mood in an affirmative sentence.She knew Atsushi Nakajima as well as Atsushi Nakajima knew her.

Atsushi Nakajima heard Izumi Jinghua's concern hidden under the calm, he nodded and admitted: "I really care about him, but don't worry, Xiao Jinghua." His expression was so pale that it was almost blank, " If it’s just this level, I won’t be taken away by death.”

Quan Jinghua took Nakajima Atsushi's hand, and the two equally cold hands held together, absorbing each other's remaining warmth.The two people standing in the corner snuggled up to each other silently, like scarred cubs or wild dogs with nowhere to go.

The girl's face softened in the setting sun.

"It'll be all right, Don."

……

Birds with slender tails streaked across the darkness.

Tsushima stopped in his tracks, and what appeared in front of him was an ordinary dwelling.

Residential houses are nothing special, just two-story buildings that can be seen everywhere.If you put it in the usual way, it is not a place worth stopping.

But now it's different.

He shouldn't be here.

Tsushima stood outside the door, looking at the building in front of him, without any intention of going in.

As the birds flew in and out, Tsushima hooked the corners of his mouth and asked, "Where's your master?"

Of course, the bird that can't speak can't answer Tsushima's question. After circling a few times in the air, it simply flew into the house through the window.

Tsushima stood where he was, waiting for the person who actually invited him to show up.

Not long after, the front door of the house was pushed open from the inside.

On the shoulders of the young man in kimono was the bird that had just flown in. When he saw Tsushima, his expression was a little surprised.The bird spread its wings, turned into wisps of smoke and disappeared.The young man remembered something, and said with some clarity: "So it's already this time... I am April [-]st, and I am the owner of this shop for the time being."

"Although you probably don't remember, I'm glad to see you again, Tsushima-kun."

……

Here is the gap in the dream.

"My blue bird opened the door of the gap for you, because the contract between us has come to be fulfilled." April [-] held a blue lamp and led the way ahead.The blue kimono draped over his shoulders had gorgeous patterns, and Tsushima noticed that it should be a women's kimono.

They walked through the stacked paper sliding doors, and the scent of pine wood soaked into the floor faintly drifted away.

April [-] said with a smile: "The contract with you is the first extended contract I have successfully signed since I took over the store, so I am particularly impressed with you." He stopped in front of a door and pulled After opening the door, he made a gesture of please.

Inside the door was a reception room. Tsushima found a chair and sat down with a distressed expression.

"Even if you said that, I don't remember it happening."

"Although it is today, it will be later." April [-] said, "The world you live in has its own rules, and I can see the shadow of the rules from you... But that is not a natural bondage, someone The coercive rules are imposed on you by other means, which makes you have to follow the route designed by the other party in a short period of time. Fortunately, such rules have a time limit. When the time is up, you will naturally will remember everything."

"Impose constraints?" Tsushima said, "There is such a convenient item that can be used." He looked extremely curious, "Shopkeeper, can you tell me what this item is?"

[Convenient enough to seal my memory, convenient enough to push me all the way to find his powerful props. ]

[yes……]

"You have come to a conclusion, so don't ask me any more, Tsushima-kun." April [-] took out a snow-white paper folded in half from nowhere and pushed it in front of Tsushima, "This is what you entrusted me to keep." The things are now returned to their original owners."

Tsushima no longer smiled, he stared at the dark brown old blood stains on the paper, his face was gloomy and terrifying.

The thin paper was so light and weightless, Tsushima only opened it for a glance, then stuffed it into his pocket.

"What's the price?" Tsushima looked at April [-]st and lost all light in his eyes. At first glance, it looked like two glass beads, lifeless embedded in his eye sockets.

Shaking his head on April [-]st, he said to Tsushima, "The contract has been fully completed, and you have paid the price in advance."

Tsushima was silent for a moment, jumped off the chair, and walked straight towards the door.Watching him leave on April [-]st, he remembered that special deal many years ago.

At that time, he had just lost Miss Yuko's protection. In order to keep the shop going, he locked himself in the cage-like shop, and he was not allowed to leave for half a step.

He wanted to wait for Miss Yuko to come back.

However, everything is too difficult. The novice shop owner who lacks experience and knowledge makes the shop run worse and worse. Even if he has some friends around him to support him, he cannot avoid feeling the exhaustion and burnout from the bottom of his heart.

It was at this time that he saw Tsushima who strayed into the courtyard.

Tsushima, who was still a boy, was wearing a tattered white trench coat, and his whole body was stained with blood and stains. He looked extremely embarrassed.

Every step he takes, fresher blood gushes out from the wounds all over Tsushima's body. I don't know if it's because of the white clothes, but the visual effect is quite shocking at first glance.A few days after he broke away from the identity of an ordinary high school student, he was undoubtedly shocked. After frantically supporting the person who appeared suddenly, he realized that this person had lost all will to survive.

[Those eyes don't look like living people. ]

[That is the look in the eyes when you are left in place and have to watch your important person enter the inevitable end. ]

He wondered if he had had a similar experience.

What was he thinking when the former shopkeeper, Miss Yuko Ichihara, the witch of Dimension, was completely swallowed by darkness?

Strangely enough, half-heartedly, he uttered a line of promise to the seriously wounded man.

"...This is a store that can make wishes come true. Do you have any wishes that you want to make come true?"

——As long as it is a wish that I can achieve.

I will do my best.

……

April [-]st: "Your wish is...?"

Tsushima: "I hope by that time... he can survive."

April [-]: "...Let me confirm again, for this wish, are you willing to pay your independent personality as a 'human' so far?"

Tsushima has restrained the surprise when he heard it for the first time, and he replied calmly: "Before I met you, I never knew that I had an independent personality as a human being. After all, I am..." He smiled at April [-]st , with a glimmer of light in his eyes, "This price is irrelevant to me, if only this can be exchanged for his survival, that would be great."

"Please, April [-]st-kun."

[He is genuinely delighted. ]

On April [-]st, he turned his head away from looking at Tsushima, and a slightly dull voice came out of his mouth: "I understand."

……

Osamu Dazai came back earlier than scheduled.

Everyone followed Atsushi Nakajima to chase the intruders, and no one knew that the leader of the port mafia had gone out and returned.Maybe after a while, the people from the Armed Detective Agency would know from Sakunosuke Oda that he had appeared in that small bar, but it didn't matter because it was meaningless.

Tsushima, who had lost consciousness, was lying quietly on the bed with a quilt wrapped around his arms.

This was a very insecure subconscious action. As Osamu Dazai approached, he clearly saw the "Complete Suicide Manual" placed beside his pillow.

The shadows beside the bed flowed.

The headless horse appeared vigilantly.

It stood in front of Tsushima uneasily, hissing intermittently.

"Quiet."

The headless horse trembled uncontrollably, but it didn't retreat, it just stood there with tense limbs.Even though he was a headless fairy, Osamu Dazai felt like he was being stared at.

"Although it is a horse, it unexpectedly has the temperament of a dog." Dazai Osamu said, "Get out of the way, and then be a qualified key and send Tsushima back at the right time. In this way, you I will return to your master as normal." He pretended to think for a while, "Is it called Celti? That is really a beautiful lady, with a charm that transcends human beings and a charm that is not inferior to any human beings. Oh my, my heart would be moved just thinking about such an outstanding Miss Celty."

The gradually sharp neighing of the headless horse stopped abruptly.

Osamu Dazai smiled, and didn't give the headless horse another look.

He came to the bed and leaned over to look at Tsushima.

"Among all known worlds, you too are unique individuals.

Osamu Dazai said, "There are countless worlds recorded in the book, but you are not included in any of them. "

Thinking of being unique, Osamu Dazai relaxed his brows and eyes.

[Who would have thought that just an absurd attempt after getting the book would lead to a miracle-like status quo. ] So he did what Tsushima would never do when he was sober - he touched Tsushima's hair carefully, and the soft touch made him curl his mouth.

This is a miracle that belongs to him only in the remaining time, as long as he thinks about it, he can still feel his heart still beating.

"You'll like my present, good night, Tsushima."

Osamu Dazai lowered his head and left a farewell kiss on Tsushima's forehead.

[Good night, disqualified in this world. ]

The author has something to say: I won't say much else, I finally wrote this.

There is another chapter tonight.
