Living in Yokohama

Here is darkness.

Darkness is no stranger to humans.

When people are in the mother’s womb, they are always in the dark, they can’t see anything, they can’t hear anything, they just sleep peacefully in the darkness, until one day, a dazzling light shines in from outside, drives away the darkness, and sleeps peacefully man opens eyes.

And so life was born in the light.

And Osamu Dazai returned to darkness.

He fell in the boundless darkness, with no sound of wind, no echo, no light, and he fell again, but he couldn't even feel the wind passing through his fingertips, only the "feeling of falling" constantly fed back from his brain reminded him Dazai ruled this fact.

"It's like being conceived again." Osamu Dazai opened his hand, even though he couldn't even see his own body in the dark space, it didn't prevent him from constructing the scene that appeared in his mind. "Is this the result of giving up the 'storage certificate' here? It's terrible. Fortunately, it's me. Xiaobai might cry in fright~... Speaking of which, is there really a bottom line here?"

Osamu Dazai thought boredly, if he kept falling like this, did he starve to death first?Or fall to the ground and die first?

Personally, Osamu Dazai is looking forward to the latter.Starving to death is much more uncomfortable, and Osamu Dazai hates pain. Even though it hurts when he falls on the ground, the pain will only last for a short moment.

Thinking of this, Osamu Dazai sighed with some regret: "According to the plan, the best case scenario is to see Odasaku again... Forget it, Odasaku still has Shiro."

These two people are like ships in the dark and abandoned lighthouses. As long as the two of them shine on each other, their world is bright and full of hope.

And he will usher in the death he most expects in this eternal darkness.

The death that would awaken him from the corrupted world.

Human beings are born to go from darkness to light.

Human death is just the opposite, falling from light to darkness, and then falling into the abyss as it is now, with no more light—

Then, the light passed through the darkness.

Light held him back.

——"I found you, Osamu Dazai."

Osamu Dazai was stunned, the possibility of this happening was too small, he once thought it was an impossible event, but: "...Xiaobai?"

Shirasaki clenched her hands tightly, feeling the pulse of her subordinates. She knew that Osamu Dazai couldn't see, so she smiled and said, "Don't always think about your own plans, and then forget about other people's preferences."

"Like?" Osamu Dazai repeated it like a repeater that only repeats.

Bai Qi said softly, "I don't want to live on the back of other people's lives, whether it's the person who chased me or you, an idiot...really... do you think about how to scare me every day, you?"

Osamu Dazai was like a little house cat that had run away from home and was caught in the back of the neck, depressed, with a kind of bewilderment that was hit by a surprise and couldn't react: "...Can you find this place?"

"Isn't this a matter of course? Don't forget how long you have been chasing me. I still have this radar." Shirasaki gritted her teeth and pulled Osamu Dazai up, but Osamu Dazai seemed to be in another dimension, there was no way Boarded the ground where Shirasaki was, "Tsk...! What's going on! Dazai, what have you done!"

Osamu Dazai raised his head, paused, and explained: "I gave up the 'certificate' of being a human being."

"...? Ah? What evidence?"

"Everyone born in this world will be endowed with something like a proof by the world. With that kind of thing, they can live in the world as a human being." Osamu Dazai was extremely calm, "But Xiaobai, the proof on your body is Incomplete—you should have noticed it, right?"

"...His name Masumi?" Shirasaki recalled the inexplicable anger in his heart when he saw his first name Masumi, and asked uncertainly, "My certificate... is it with her?"

"Ah, that's right, half of your certificate is given to Hatsune Masumi, so the non-human man-made object, Hatsune Masumi, can survive in this world as a human being. I'm afraid the people in the game didn't intend to Playing this hunting game...but I want to use this game to make Hatsune Masumi a human being while continuing to use her natural abilities, so Hatsune Masumi came here to take away the remaining evidence. "

Osamu Dazai smiled quietly: "You can't live in the world without a deposit certificate, so I gave you my deposit certificate, so that you can return to a normal life in Yokohama, and I also welcome The long-awaited death - pain pain pain pain! Xiaobai QUQ"

Shirasaki smiled indifferently: "Are you finished? Is it enough? Are you an idiot Dazai Osamu?"

Osamu Dazai burst into tears: "It's too much, Xiaobai QUQ, hitting and scolding others!"

"...Do you really want to die, Osamu Dazai?"

"Yeah, the death that can wake me up from this corrupt world—Xiaobai?"

"...Ha," Shirasaki couldn't help laughing, she relaxed a little to relieve the soreness of her arms, and then pinched his wrist, Dazai Osamu's skin revealed a biting coldness, Shirasaki thought, just now Dazai Osamu Is this the temperature you feel?She turned, "Are you really an idiot? ... You were so smart before."

She said indifferently: "——if you really wanted to die, you wouldn't say that kind of thing to me."

"...that kind?"

"Forgive something, like something, say it so easily..." Baisaki said, "Every word of yours is clearly saying 'help me', Dazai, when will you learn to be more frank?"

Osamu Dazai flinched subconsciously, but he quickly held back: "I, I didn't say that, and, you can't last long like this, right? What's the use of struggling with this kind of thing?"

Indeed, even though Osamu Dazai was so close to her, he seemed to be repelled by this space, unable to land. Shirasaki tried his best to grab him non-stop, but he could only keep Osamu Dazai in place.

Bai Qi calmly asked: "How to transfer the certificate?"

Osamu Dazai: "Do you want to transfer it to me? In this case, you will be the one who cannot be rescued. Xiaobai, does it make sense to sacrifice the life you have won after struggling for so long to save someone like me?"

"...If it's meaningless for me to save you, then it's also meaningless for you to save me. I won't live on the back of other people's lives, have you forgotten?" Bai Qi closed her eyes and sighed heavily.

Maybe it was because of the experience, or maybe it was because of being impacted by so many things in succession, Shirasaki felt unexpectedly calm and relaxed in the face of death.

If this is her end... not too bad.

"Dazai," Baisaki said softly, with a soft tone, "The one who should go back there is not me."

She left her original world, had no one to rely on, no home to call home, and then occupied other people's hometown... It was really shameless.

That's fine.Shirasaki thought.That's enough.

The temperature was exchanged again, Dazai Osamu's ice-like wrist gradually warmed up, his pupils shrank slightly, and the next second, he pulled Shirasaki into his arms forcefully, the body temperature of the two blended, and Dazai Osamu's weak voice dissipated in the air: "Little Shiro is the idiot...but now we can only gamble."

Osamu Dazai closed his eyes and fell asleep in the darkness, embracing his own light.

----

"………too…………"

"... Saki..."

"Wake up—"

The very, very dazzling light passed through the eyelids, Shirasaki subconsciously blocked it with her hands, but was caught off guard by someone hugging her.

She was confused: "...Huh?"

Shirasaki pressed against this man's chest in a daze, her mind went blank, she probed: "Ta... Dazai...?"

This person hugged her tightly, trembling: "...I'm worried about you guys. Saki, Dazai too, where did you go?"

"!!!!" Baisaki's pupils dilated, and her eyes readjusted to the focus of the light. She saw the red hair in front of her. The emotions of surprise, bewilderment, and guilt were intertwined and filled her heart, "Original, Oda?"

Osamu Dazai was half dead: "I can't breathe, Odasaku—"

Oda Sakunosuke stepped back half a step, his eyes were moist, he pressed the heads of the two, and seemed to have a thousand words, but in the end he only said: "I am very worried about you...It is really, really great that you came back safely. "

Osamu Dazai backed away, lay down on the ground, and lazily said, "Mathematicians are really amazing, Odasaku!"

Before leaving Yokohama, in the last phone call with Sakunosuke Oda, Osamu Dazai said: There is such a definition in probability theory that something that cannot happen under certain conditions is called an impossible event, that is to say, an impossible event will happen. The probability of occurrence is zero, which is the definition. The probability of an impossible event is zero, but an event with a probability of zero is not necessarily an impossible event.

Osamu Dazai said softly, "It happened, obviously the probability is zero."

That phone call was too long for Oda Sakunosuke, he looked at Osamu Dazai blankly.

"...Sorry for making you worry." Bai Xiao said, "Obviously I didn't want to make you so sad."

"...Asaki," Oda Sakunosuke said solemnly, "You are my very, very important family member. No matter how you leave, I cannot accept it. Where did you... go?"

Shirasaki opened her mouth: "I—"

"Ah, yes, yes! The famous detective said that you can find someone here~" Edogawa proudly put his hands on his hips, "The famous detective can't make mistakes!"

"Ahbai! Dazai!" Kunikida strode over, "What's going on! Where did you two go? There's been no news for more than a year. If Ranpo-san didn't say you were still alive, the detective agency would have thought you— —Hey!???? Ah that, that Abai! I’m not scolding you, don’t cry!!”

Bai Qi lowered her head and wiped away her tears: "No, it's nothing, I just, just, it's really great to be alive to see you."

"What stupid things are you talking about..." Kunikida was silent for a while, he half knelt down, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I still said big things, and what I said will definitely solve this incident... In the end, I didn't do anything."

"...That's not Kunikida-senpai's fault." Shirasaki looked at his hand, where the cold temperature still remained.

Shirasaki suddenly remembered something: "Dazai, what did you do?!"

She obviously returned the certificate to Osamu Dazai, but—

Osamu Dazai just smiled: "It's a new student."

Human existence is bound by bonds——

And the fetters that Shirasaki took over became the chains of her existence in the world.

This is what humans are... ah.

"The bet is won." Osamu Dazai thought so.
