[Bungo Stray Dogs] Yokohama Renka
Chapter 18: The Dream of Gold Dust
To be able to get the current life, for Oda Sakunosuke, it can be said that it is more beautiful than dreamed.
Leaving from the Port Mafia and joining the Armed Detective Agency, Oda's record of being a killer in the past was also washed away with the help of the Supernatural Secret Service Division. Now he is just a small detective affiliated to the Armed Detective Agency. The past no longer oppresses him, and he can start writing his own story.
Now he is exerting his strength on the "side of saving people", and his own experience alone can write a thick book.
He bought a hut by the sea, using the winnings from supermarket shopping coupons.Although he also felt that the money came by a coincidence, he finally regarded it as a gift from heaven.
The purchased house is big enough to accommodate five children.Sakule, Xingsuke, Shinji, Yu, and Kemi all have their own small rooms, and they have also reached the age of gender awareness, and they cannot live together as five people like when they lived with the boss in the past.
Every time he sees the growth of the children, Oda Sakunosuke always feels a soft wave in his heart. This is different from the regular visits in the past. He is participating in the growth process of the children and spending precious time with them as an elder. time.
Oda Sakunosuke himself got a room facing the sea. Open the window in the morning, and the salty sea breeze will blow into the room, waking up his body after a night’s rest. At this time, he will stand at the window with a tooth cup and feel it The coolness of the morning, waiting for his muscles to change from stiffness to softness, will make him feel the reality of life clearly, and the bland happiness right now is not an illusory dream or a misty fantasy.
As a member of the Armed Detective Agency, even if his daily work is dangerous, it is only in the twilight, out of the dark night of the Mafia, the colors of the twilight look so beautiful, he can no longer see the end and the way forward Confused Stray Dog, that dream of being a writer is no longer a dream that has been shelved. He is already writing the story of a killer. Although sometimes he feels embarrassed, he still shows his work to his partner Kunikida Doppo.
Among the members of the detective agency, his partner may be one of the few normal people. Kunikida worries about this group of members with different personalities and individualism every day, and even his hairline has risen a lot earlier.
Oda will also be preached by him, but he doesn't hate this young man who is five years younger than himself. What he said shines with ideal brilliance. If he used the words of a writer to describe his partner, Oda would write like this: a serious person who is too serious idealist.
In addition to Kunikida, who is regarded as the same generation, there are also people who Oda admires among the seniors. Edogawa Ranpo, who has the ability to see through all the truth at a glance "super reasoning", is the signboard of this detective agency. He once worked with this senior. On missions together, relying on "Seamless Clothes" several times to stop Ranpo from running away or making pranks, and later Ranpo refused to go on missions with him, but Oda still respects this wayward senior.
The somewhat scary female doctor is the strongest backing of the detective agency.Oda can use his ability to predict when he and Akiko Yosano will find someone to buy something or want to use the ability "Please don't die", so unlike other members who are afraid of her, his calmness is more exciting. With the challenge of Yosano Akiko, she has recently wondered what Oda's fearful expression looks like.
Speaking of juniors, the three who joined after him also had to be mentioned.The stubborn Akutagawa Ryunosuke joins the detective agency to earn the tuition of his younger sister who is studying abroad. At the beginning, he did not get along well with the members of the detective agency, but now he can eat adzuki bean soup with other members to pass the time.
Atsushi Nakajima was picked up by himself. Words about the man-eating tiger riot caused by the man-eating tiger under the moon are still circulating. While scolding each other without profanity, they tacitly tore the enemy with their hands, and after the tearing was over, they would fight each other passionately.At this time, the head of the family, Sakunosuke Oda, has to come out and pull the two little ones apart.
Later, Dun brought back Izumi Jinghua from the port mafia. The little girl became the favorite of the whole society as soon as she officially joined the society. Not to mention the soft-hearted one with white hair, the one without eyebrows would secretly care about him. Oda has guessed , he may care about Quan Jinghua as a younger sister whom he has never met.
In short, there are such a group of partners around Oda now, and their small detective agency has become one of the three cornerstones of peace in this city thanks to the joint efforts and subtle luck of their partners.
For some reason, a young couple whom he met a few days ago suddenly appeared in Oda's mind.They shared a table together for a while and chatted for a while, but what they said at that time is not clear now.
Oda thought carefully.
The brown-haired young man may have a strange eye disease, his right eye and most of his face are covered with snow-white bandages, but his expression is cheerful. He said with a smile that he and Oda got along very well, and it would be nice if they could be friends.
The beautiful tea-haired girl who followed the young man didn't speak much, she was molested by the young man so much that she had to respond when she really wanted to speak, and if she responded, the young girl's delicate face didn't show any shyness at all.
Like a lover but not like a lover, like a friend but not like a friend.
Oda just felt that the atmosphere between these two people was weird, but he didn't think about it, they were just passers-by, and he had no desire to explore other people's secrets.
It's just that the girl couldn't remember what she said to herself at the end.He suddenly cared about that blurred memory.
Kunikida Doppo came in with a stack of letters, and he complained to the red-haired young man in a low voice: "Oda, how many times have I told you not to fill in the address of the detective agency with your personal letters? There is no order to sign for the letter for the partner."
Oda apologized kindly, and opened the letter addressed to him, which was the notification that the first draft of the novel had passed the editor's review.
Gotta celebrate with curry today.
He let out an ah, remembering that he had seen the girl in the boss's shop, when she was still a child preparing to return to high school.
"She said—"
"Dazai-sama and I are looking forward to the day when your novel will be published."
Warning: Friends who like pure HappyEnd stop reading here.The following is TrueEnd, which is not beautiful at all, and only the two parties feel very sweet and happy.
"As expected, Odasaku's story is very interesting."
"Looking in such a dark place will weaken your eyesight, Dazai-sama, don't just watch it by yourself, I also want to read Oda-san's works."
"No, no, this time I will be the first person to appreciate Oda's novels, even Yuu won't let you."
"I need to remind you that the editor has already seen Mr. Oda's work."
"...Okay then, Yuu, come over and read it too. It's a very good story."
A moment of silence.
"I said Xiaoyou, have you ever regretted your choice in this world?"
"Master Dazai knows my answer."
Akagi stopped ponytailing a long time ago, her brown hair was spread over her shoulders, and she looked harmless and docile in her floral home clothes. She rested her head on the young man's shoulder and turned her face to the stack of printouts held in the young man's hands. document.Those glassy eyes took a closer look to see that she was actually reading and not dazed.
No matter how she chooses, she has to give up one of her important friends and the lover she probably loves deeply.
A prank by the gods or a sideshow by the devil?Once Oda Dazai, herself, one of the three dies, she returns to some indeterminate point in the past.
At the beginning, she didn't realize that she was in the past time, and when she was caught and tortured by Dazai who didn't know her, she realized that this was not a bad joke.
Akagi only met Dazai working in the torture room once, never thought that one day his brilliant methods would be used on himself.
In just two days, her dignity and personality were shattered into powder by the demon who had the same face as her boss who had always been nice to her. Yu Akagi was dying, but hugged the shoulder of the perpetrator tightly, tears rubbing against his neck Wet bandages.
In a daze, she heard him say to her softly: "Good boy, the pain will be gone soon."
Her eyes went dark, but when her vision brightened, she met Dazai again. She trembled with fear, but she met his teasing gentle iris eyes.He asked her soothingly, "Xiaoyou, what are you afraid of?"
It was the way Akagi knew the person should be, but he could no longer make her trust him.She escaped successfully, but inexplicably returned to the past two years later.
After that, she repeated it for countless times, during which her feelings for Dazai and Oda were alienated.
Akagi Yu can't help herself not to fall in love with Dazai. It has to be said that no matter which world line, her fate is closely linked with Dazai, while Oda Sakunosuke is in a world line that has become a turning point in her thinking. From a casual encounter to her most important friend.
In order for him to survive, Akagi is even willing to sacrifice Dazai's life.
It's not that no effort has been made to make the two coexist, but in the end one always dies.
However, these turbulent feelings called friendship or love have degenerated into empty obsessions after repeated reincarnations, and she didn't know what she was insisting on.
Akagi Yu knew that he had regarded this period of time as a game, repeating, meeting them, dying, and repeating.
Once the game shows signs of going badly, she commits suicide and goes back to the past to start all over again.
After groping like this, she also figured out a way for her to pass the game time happily.
That is to tell Dazai all the information directly at the beginning, and the two rescue Oda Sakunosuke together.After success, they will appreciate Oda's works together, and finally she will die in love with Dazai who decided to give up everything and wake up from the "dream", achieving the most perfect way of death in the eyes of lovers.
"It seems Oda-san didn't let the protagonist's friend die this time."
The girl's hand touched the young man's arm that was close to hers, and the young man immediately clasped her fingers together, and said with some envy: "You have seen many versions of Oda's works."
"It's not that many times. Sometimes Oda-san can survive, but I die early. In that case, I can't see his works."
"I see." Dazai said, he casually put the finished manuscript on the bedside table, and then took the girl into his arms.
For a long time, Akagi let Dazai hold her quietly.
Then Dazai spoke, his voice soft like a spring breeze.
"Xiao Yu, I now feel that there may be something worth looking forward to in this hopelessly corrupt world. With you here, Oda Saku is alive, and we still have a chance to be friends."
—What did he just say?
Akagi couldn't believe his ears.
This is a brand new situation. Normally, at this time, Dazai would propose suicide after reading Oda's works with a happy face.
A little soft light gradually appeared in Akagi Yu's lost eyes.
Like a child who finally got the reward candy, she murmured, "Master Dazai, now you...do you think you can continue to live?"
"Well, if Xiaoyou is with me." Dazai saw tears welling up in her eyes, unable to speak for a while, so he hugged her even tighter.
She finally found the only HE that allowed the two of them to survive. Maybe this is a beautiful dream, Akagi Yu thought, and finally stretched out his arms to embrace the young man's body. Tears also flowed down, but unexpectedly, they were not sour.
"Ah...Speaking of which, Dazai-sama is really cunning to push Chuya-san as the leader this time, and to be behind the scenes himself."
"...Xiao You, when you are so moved, you didn't kiss me but mentioned the dwarf's name?!"
The author has something to say:
Ok, I was abused by the comments and my own memories of the Oda plot, so I climbed up and updated it. With this extra episode, please wait for Shaleng paro, otherwise it will be embarrassing, and I will write an extra episode or something in a few chapters.
Oda Zuo... Hey, the official (black time) stabbed twice, the same person stabbed twice, and the official (Heidun Baijie) stabbed twice more.I also want to write that Oda survives, but the authorities have blocked my way.I had no choice but to engage in a mysterious existence to abuse you girls.
The second half of this chapter can be summed up as a clumsy version of Steins;Gate, or a literary life from scratch.There is no such setting in the book.Dazai Tuizhong also took the position, and he did things behind the scenes by himself, but he didn't commit suicide in the end.Youjiang, who has been hacked, was going to propose burning charcoal to die for love.Of course Yuu and Dazai in this setting have done everything they can do, it can be said to be very sweet (远目)
ps I seem to have a different definition of sweet from yours.
