Yokohama Future Lovers

When No. 003 fell into the sea with a "plop", he was in a daze.

Even because he was caught off guard and fell into the sea unprepared, he directly suffered from cramps, struggling like a thirsty fish on the surface of the sea, losing strength after a while, and gradually sank.

The icy sea water drowned all reason, gradually blurring No. 003's consciousness.

One second before his consciousness completely plunged into darkness, he saw a figure swimming towards him.

...

...

...

"Cough, cough, cough——" No. 003 suddenly spit out the fishy seawater from his mouth. The feeling that his eyes, nose, mouth, and ears were all flooded with water made his brain numb with pain, and he gasped for breath.Because he had been soaked by the sea, he was completely soaked, and the water droplets slid down his hair, forehead, and cheeks, and a gust of wind blew through him, making him shiver with cold.

"Book" is trying to kill me! !

No. 003 complained speechlessly in his heart.

He had just escaped from the world with Natsume Soseki and went to this world, but he didn't expect that the "book" would be teleported to him above the sea, causing him to fall directly from the sky into the sea and almost drowned.

The hidden "Book" looked away guiltily: You can't blame him, who told the Dazai Osamu of this world to be by the sea right now?

After spitting out the seawater in his mouth, No. 003 managed to recover, and was about to see who saved him, but when he saw that very familiar face, No. 003 froze on the spot like a wooden man.

No. 003: "Ah."

Osamu Dazai of this world: "Ah."

The owners of the two faces, which were almost identical except for the difference due to age, looked at each other and fell into silence.

"..."

"......"

It was No. 003 who finally broke the awkward silence first.

"...If I say that I am actually your long-lost brother, will you believe me?" No. 003 asked seriously.

The little boy, who seemed to be about 14 years old, was wet all over, and stared at each other with eyes that seemed moist and bright after being soaked in water.If he was an ordinary person, he would definitely soften his heart under such eyes.

It's a pity that No. 003 is not facing ordinary people, but himself in another world.

"What do you think?" Osamu Dazai, who was drenched all over to get No. 003, asked with a smile, "Do you think I will believe it?"

No. 003 said: "Then I'll take it as your letter." Since the other party has given him the right to choose, wouldn't he be sorry for himself if he didn't use it?

"Can't you pretend that I don't believe it? Although I didn't believe it at first." Osamu Dazai spread his hands helplessly.

Osamu Dazai of this world was standing on the shore, thinking about something very important, but before he could come up with something, a child suddenly fell from the sky, and fell directly into the sea. The child hadn’t struggled yet. It didn't take long for it to sink.

Because things happened so fast, Osamu Dazai didn't see the child's face clearly. Although he was a little surprised why a child would fall from the sky, after observing for a while to confirm that the child really sank, Osamu Dazai Just jumped down to save people.

Ever since he defected with Oda Sakunosuke and came to the Armed Detective Agency, Dazai Osamu often couldn't help himself to do some good deeds.

Unlike Doppo Kunikida or Atsushi Nakajima who genuinely want to save others, Osamu Dazai just feels he should.

Because he chose to grab Oda Sakunosuke's hand and came to the side of the light with him.

I didn't expect to see a face that was almost exactly the same as myself after I fished him up—couldn't it be different?Take a closer look, isn't this yourself at around 14 years old?Even the bandages are waterproof and sunscreen that I used to love most.

Osamu Dazai glanced at No. 003. The child who looked to be around 14 years old was extremely thin. Because he had just fallen into the sea, his whole body was wet, his hair was hanging limply, and water droplets kept sliding down his cheeks.Perhaps because of the cold, he trembled slightly uncontrollably, looking terribly pitiful.

Was this what my younger self looked like?

Osamu Dazai thought with some shock.

The Dazai Osamu of this world met Oda Sakunosuke very early, when Oda Sakunosuke was still a killer, Dazai Osamu met him.

Every time he mentioned the scene when they first met, Oda Sakunosuke always said vaguely that it felt cute.Osamu Dazai thought it was because of his own lover filter, but he didn't expect that when he was a child... he looked really pitiful and cute.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that No. 003 is soaked all over.

"But how did you come to this world? And it's still like this..." Osamu Dazai thought for a while, and barely used a milder word to describe it: "Landing in such a novel way."

"There are various reasons." No. 003 said with a delicate expression.

Now he could also guess what was going on.Every time "Book" teleports him to another world, it is teleported to the place closest to that world "Osamu Dazai".But this place is random and not easy to manipulate.

It is estimated that this time it is because Osamu Dazai of this world stayed by the sea, and then number 003 was unlucky, so he was directly teleported to the sea.

Of course, it is impossible to talk about these things with the "Osamu Dazai" of this world.

Osamu Dazai spread his hands, knowing that there was nothing to be asked from No. 003, so he didn't have to ask for anything, so he said, "Forget it."

No matter what, it's none of his business, after all, he's going to...

"What about you?" No. 003 asked, "Are you thinking about what to do next?"

Saying this, he laughed as if he thought it was very funny, and asked, "Are you going to die? There is still such an important person."

Osamu Dazai originally wanted to say: "Why do you know?", but after thinking about it carefully, the other party is also "Osamu Dazai", so asking such a question is really too stupid.

Most likely I wanted to ask this question when my brain was flooded when I first went into the water to rescue No. 003.

Osamu Dazai thought so, shaking his head.

No. 003 looked at him speechlessly, wondering whether the "Osamu Dazai" in this world was more stupid than those in other worlds.

Individuals in each world have small or big differences, just like the Dazai Osamu who was with Natsume Soseki in the last world is purer than other Dazai Osamu, and the Dazai Osamu in this world is probably stupid.

No. 003 hurt Dazai Osamu who just rescued himself without guilt, and then asked: "Okay, do you want to tell me about you?"

Osamu Dazai glanced blankly at No. 003 and asked, "Why are you so proficient?"

No. 003 said in a deep tone: "Probably because I'm used to it."

Osamu Dazai looked at No. 003 silently, thinking: Is this the kind of character I have when I am about 14 years old? !

He clearly remembered that he should be more indifferent and treacherous in this period, but why did this look so embarrassing.

Dazai Osamu was speechless, and fell into his own thoughts for a while, and did not directly answer the question of No. 003.

No. 003 looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "Don't you want to talk?"

Generally speaking, when people who are just at the end of their lives meet their young selves, they will more or less have the desire to confide in them.

But even if Osamu Dazai of this world doesn't want to say it, No. 003 won't be surprised.

Osamu Dazai glanced at him, paused, sighed, and said, "Huh? You need to know my thoughts for some special reasons?"

Number 003 nodded.

Osamu Dazai sighed again, and finally said, "...I just came out from Odasaku."

No. 003, who has found himself being an emotional tree hole for "Osamu Dazai" since the beginning of time travel, raised his eyebrows and motioned him to continue talking.

So Dazai Osamu talked about himself and Oda Sakunosuke.

It was just the same day as usual, the two of them sat in the small house they bought together, lazily basking in the sun, and began to talk about tomorrow's events.

Oda Sakunosuke used his pair of seemingly calm, but actually suppressed countless ice-like unbreakable tenderness and love, softly talked about Tomorrow with Osamu Dazai.

At that moment, Osamu Dazai felt deeply that he was deeply loved by this person.That love is like a volcano, which seems to be calm, but underneath it suppresses a magma that is so hot that it can melt people.

"But that made me feel bone-piercing pain." Osamu Dazai said calmly and depressedly with his eyes open.

He looked at the sea in the distance, and the bottomless color was reflected in Osamu Dazai's eyes, making his side face look like it was frozen.

"I... At that moment, I wanted to die happily, but I also wanted to die in despair." Osamu Dazai said.

When Oda Sakunosuke said to him: "As long as you are with Dazai, no matter what you do, the future must be very exciting." When Dazai Osamu felt pain as if he had been pierced.

It was as if his limbs had been removed, he had been beaten so viciously that he couldn't even cry out, and he was forced into the deepest cave, waiting to be devoured by the monsters with teeth and claws.

A spontaneous despair eroded his limbs like poison.

For Osamu Dazai, "love" is violence, a complete violence.

Beatings, beatings, and abuse can't make this man even a little bit afraid,

Even though he faced death directly, couldn't find the meaning of living, and covered his body with scars over and over again, Osamu Dazai was still calm, even laughing wildly, and walked into the dark abyss without fear.

But "love" is the only thing that scares him more than anything else.This made Osamu Dazai want to avoid, escape, and even hurt.

At that moment, Osamu Dazai even had the intention to kill Oda Sakunosuke.

I want to kill him, I want to kill this man who loves me, and I love him too.If he hadn't suppressed himself so hard at that time, Osamu Dazai might really be unable to control his almost desperate killing intent.

No. 003 looked at him quietly, and suddenly hugged Osamu Dazai.

Osamu Dazai had been sitting on the beach just now, while No. 003 was standing.At this time, when the young No. 003 embraced Osamu Dazai, he was able to embrace his entire upper body in his arms.

003's chin rested on Osamu Dazai's head.

The two of them were all wet and couldn't transfer any warmth to each other at all, but No. 003 still hugged him tightly, like a desperate little animal trying to snuggle up for warmth.

Water stains slid down Dazai Osamu's face, looking like tears.A gust of wind mixed with the fishy smell of the sea blew by, and the two wet people couldn't help shaking.

Osamu Dazai opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything. He rolled his throat, as if all the screams had been swallowed.

"He who is afraid and runs away is a coward; if he is afraid and does not run away, he is not a coward." No. 003 looked at Osamu Dazai and asked, "Are you going to run away again? Osamu Dazai."

Osamu Dazai paused, did not answer No. 003's question, he just said: "I thought you were my past self, but now I realize that you are very different from me."

"You are 'Dazai Osamu', but not 'I'."

No. 003 looked at him and said, "Of course I'm not you. I'm No. 003."

Osamu Dazai blinked, showing a somewhat bewildered expression, and then smiled gently, and said, "I see. You are No. 003."

He squatted up, hugged No. 003 tightly, and said in a voice as if he was about to cry: "You are not 'me'."

No. 003 continued to remain silent, and suddenly saw someone running towards him in the distance.

Pointing to the back, No. 003 said, "Someone is looking for you."

Osamu Dazai opened his eyes suddenly, turned around and looked in the direction pointed by No. 003 - the person who came over was Oda Sakunosuke.

No. 003 hid aside, watching Oda Sakunosuke rushing over, and finally came to Dazai Osamu.

Oda Sakunosuke saw Dazai Osamu who was soaked all over, and subconsciously wanted to touch him, but Dazai Osamu took a step back in resistance as if he had been stabbed, with a mixture of anxiety and similar fear appearing on his face. like look.

Oda Sakunosuke stopped, and he retracted his outstretched hand.

Osamu Dazai opened his eyes wide and stretched out his hand subconsciously, with a guilty expression on his face, he seemed to want to apologize, but in the end he couldn't say anything, he could only stretch out his hand in a daze.

"Maybe..." Oda Sakunosuke looked at him with a helpless and tolerant expression, and he said, "Maybe you need to go home and take a hot bath?"

"You're drenched all over, aren't you cold?" Oda Sakunosuke said so, took off the jacket that was warmed by his own body temperature, and wrapped it around Dazai Osamu's body.

"Because you're soaked, even my coat can't give you much warmth. But it's better than nothing." Saying this, Oda Sakunosuke reached out to Osamu Dazai: "Go home. Go back and take a shower , and then eat. I've already prepared the meal."

Osamu Dazai froze again, he showed a painful expression as if he had been pierced again, but he thought of No. 003 again, and the child who was completely different from himself even though he was "myself".

Osamu Dazai closed his eyes, he felt his heart beating so fast that he felt pain.It's like it wouldn't be strange even if he died now.

Oda Sakunosuke kept the gesture of stretching out his hand, didn't say anything, just looked at Dazai Osamu quietly with those calm but incredibly gentle eyes as before.

Osamu Dazai opened his eyes again, put his hands on them, and said with a nonchalant smile as before, "Well, let's go back."

Looking at the two people who were gradually going away, the "book" who surrounded everything asked, "What will happen to him?"

Would he just choose to continue living, or would he choose to die on a certain day?

In fact, if it weren't for the arrival of No. 003, Osamu Dazai would have committed suicide by throwing himself into the water at this time.But the arrival of No. 003 seems to change things.

However, can this slight change allow Osamu Dazai to live?

"I don't know either." Looking at Osamu Dazai's back, No. 003 said, "Maybe it will get better, maybe it will get worse. After all, it's not my business anymore."

"Because 'I' is not 'he'." No. 003 said.

He held his hand tightly, and murmured again: "Because 'I' went on a different path."

The author has something to say: He who is afraid and runs away is a coward; whoever is afraid and does not run is not a coward. ← "Idiot" by Mr. Tuo
