The wrong way to open the healing ability

"I'll give you a happy day today, how about it?"

Bored, Dazai grabbed a hind leg of the little elf who was sleeping on his two front paws, and said suddenly.

When he was first caught, the goblin struggled violently, with an expression on his face that he wanted to turn his head and bite Dazai.But after Dazai said those words, the little goblin gave up struggling in an instant, and humanized disgust appeared in her round black eyes.

Catching the subtle change in the goblin's expression, Dazai let go of his hand and changed into a more leisurely posture, and took one from the delicate wagyu fruit bowl on the table.

"After all, you don't want to stay in this state forever, do you?"

Today is the big dark day, January [-]st, the last day before the new year.

In order to welcome the coming New Year, the Armed Detective Agency has advanced its off-duty time today. All members will go home first, and then reunite at the Detective Club after dark to welcome the New Year together.

Originally, Machi and Dazai would also participate, but Dazai said righteously, "Makoto and I have to leave first, and see you next year." Under the eyes of everyone's disgust and ridicule, Dazai led him away with a cheeky face.

Akutagawa was still attending the New Year's party at the Port Mafia, and Akatsuki chose to stay at the detective agency to help with the arrangement.Zhenzhi seems to be going to fetch something, but has not returned yet.

Now in the whole house, there are only Xiao Yin who is cooking dinner in the kitchen and the little elf who is in the way in every sense.

As expected of a custom-made dim sum, the taste is very good.

In order to welcome the new year, the living room has been rearranged, and a place has been vacated for a kotatsu, which is so warm that people don't want to move it once they enter.

Earlier, Yokohama had a rare snowfall.

It's just getting dark now, and there's already a lot of snow outside.

The coldness outside and the warmth indoors, together with the faint aroma of crab meat hotpot wafting from the kitchen, give this villa a New Year's flavor.

The leader Jae, whose soul stayed in the Shiba Inu's body, nodded.

If possible, he doesn't want to come to this world again and again, after all, Chinese medicine is really too bitter.

"very good."

Dazai slowly took out the specially customized keypad and mobile phone from his pocket, and handed them to Shiba Inu.

"After all, tomorrow is the New Year. I don't want your shiny light bulb to cause me any trouble again. Take the things and go back to me early."

Speaking of this, Dazai felt a little resentful.

The leader Zai has spoiled the time he had created with great difficulty for the two of them more than once, relying on his cute appearance to attract Zhenzhi's attention.

Hearing what Dazai said, the leader Zai subconsciously shook his fluffy tail, showing a thoughtful expression.

It seems that Dazai wants to be alone with Zhenzhi tonight, so he is in a hurry to chase him away.

The leader Zai naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity. He stretched out his paws and pressed the "Blue Bana Flower Bookmark" word by word on the small keyboard.

"It really is this. It seems that my previous guess was not wrong."

Dazai reluctantly moved half of it out of the kotatsu, trying to reach out and fumble in the box full of sundries in the corner of the living room without completely leaving the lower body of the kotatsu.

Although Dazai himself has a part of the memory of the parallel world, but later Machi shared the experience with him when chatting in his spare time, and passed the bookmark to Dazai.

The leader Zai, who was in the blind spot of Dazai's vision for a short while, sharpened his eyes. He had already learned to manipulate the phone with his claws, and he flexibly manipulated something on Dazai's phone. When Dazai got the bookmark and looked back, the Shiba Inu had recovered. innocent look.

"This thing originally belonged to your world. Now after touching you from the parallel world, it will go with you when you go back."

It was obvious that he was bullying the leader Zai. Now that there is no human hand to hold the bookmark, Dazai directly stuffed this small bookmark into Shiba Inu's mouth, and looked at Shiba Inu with satisfaction but dared not speak.

The thing from the other world collided with the person from the other world, and the surface of this bookmark emitted a soft white light, which turned into light particles and gradually dissipated in the air.

"The matter is settled, you can go, and don't come again in the future."

Dazai closed his eyes and waved his hand in disgust, just missing the trace of calculation flashing in the eyes of the leader.

When he opened his eyes again, the little elf had returned to her usual sand sculpture appearance, and was circling around beside the kotatsu excitedly.

Well, one of the light bulbs preventing solitude has been removed.

When Zhenzhi came back from the outside with a few delicate paper bags and a snowflake all over her body, Xiaoyin had already processed the ingredients and just in time brought the hot crab meat hot pot to the table.

Atsuya, who had helped to set up the detective agency, had just arrived at the villa not long ago, sitting at the table in a well-behaved posture, drinking hot tea.

"You came back just in time—"

Dazai, who was fiddling with a plump orange, stretched out his voice, and lay lazily on the table.As soon as the crab meat hot pot was served, he sat up straight excitedly.

"Chuya called just now, saying that Akutagawa was drunk at the Hong Kong Hei's dinner party. After the party is over, he will bring Akutagawa back by the way."

"So we can already start eating!"

After taking off the damp coat and hanging it up, Machi, who was wearing a beige turtleneck sweater, also got into the kotatsu, and handed one of the paper bags to Xiaoyin.

"Little Silver, thank you for your hard work."

In the bag is a set of exquisite and beautiful vibrating sleeves, the color is suitable for young girls, the fabric is soft and the workmanship is exquisite, and it is also matched with a full set of accessories.

The little girl hugged the paper bag tightly, her face flushed with excitement.

"Dazai and Atsushi, and Akutagawa who hasn't come back, I put a label on the paper bag for your share, remember to change into new clothes when you go to Hatsachi."

The hot pot was boiling, and the rising white mist blurred Zhenzhi's facial features.

"Happy New Year."

……

After finishing dinner, under Dazai's various hints, Atsushi who originally planned to go to the detective agency took Xiaoyin with him.

The little goblin, who was alive and kicking, seemed to be tired from playing during the day, so she returned to her kennel early to rest.

For a moment, there were only two people left in the entire villa.

"Going for a walk outside afterward?"

Dazai, who had finally chased away a few unsightly people, secretly touched the small gold velvet box he had prepared in advance, and moved closer to Machi.

He was also about to extend an invitation to Dazai, but was nodded by Machi who was one step ahead.It just so happened that he had something he wanted to give Dazai when he was alone with him.

Things went against their wishes, the two of them packed up and were about to set off with their own careful thoughts, when a familiar noise came from outside the villa.

Zhenzhi, who had put on the woolen coat again, tilted her head slightly, her tone suspicious.

"Why does it sound like Ranbu and Dun?"

Unfortunately, Dazai also thinks so, which undoubtedly shows that it is not an illusion.

Half a minute later, the doorbell rang, and it was the members of the detective agency who appeared at the door with a lot of wine and snacks.

"Machi, and Dazai, Happy New Year!"

Dazai's head hurt a little, something happened beyond his expectation.

"Why... don't you?"

"Wang!"

The goblin, who was supposed to be sleeping peacefully in his kennel, woke up at some point, scurrying around at Machi's feet, and gave Dazai a provocative look when he understood what was going on.

Although the trip to the parallel world accompanied by Chinese medicine can be over, but with the positive idea of ​​cheating himself if he can, the leader Zai squeezed his nose and drank Chinese medicine once, just to see his own joke.

"Why are we here?"

Dr. Yosano gave Dazai a look of "Are you an idiot?", took out his phone and switched to the SMS page.On the top is a text message from Dazai, inviting members of the detective agency to be guests.

"Obviously you sent a text message to ask us to come."

"..."

Having already put on the soft cotton slippers provided by Machi, Ranpo happily got into the kotatsu and began to eat snacks, noticing Dazai's resentful eyes, took out his phone and shook it.

"Master Ranbu also received the same message."

Of course, although Luanbu sensed something was wrong, he didn't explain it clearly, but happily followed along to join in the fun.

A large group of mighty people met Dun and Xiaoyin who were about to go to the detective agency on the way, and they brought them back directly.

The leader who succeeded in doing things, he accepted as soon as he saw it, and ran away after seeing Dazai's ugly expression, and went back to his own world.

Dazai, who couldn't express his suffering, could only watch helplessly as Machi, who originally planned to go out with him, began to warmly entertain the guests, and pitifully shrank into the corner of the sofa and whispered.

"Obviously I still want to invite Zhenzhi to die in love with me..."

"Huh? What were you talking about?"

A can of cold beer was pressed against Dazai's cheek, making him shiver from the cold.Zhenzhi put a can of beer on the coffee table and opened another can by herself.

In order to avoid getting drunk like last time, Zhenzhi took a sip before putting down the beer.

"I have just asked Kunikida to help Atsushi and Xiaoyin entertain guests, we can sneak out now."

"Let's go? Kid Dazai?"

……

When I went out, the snow had stopped, and there was a white frost on the ground.

Although Zhenzhi wore a thick coat and a warm and soft scarf, she shrank in the cold winter wind.

Dazai, who was sitting next to him, was still wearing his usual clothes, except for an extra scarf around his neck, as if he was not afraid of the severe winter cold at all.

"Being alone like this seems like a long time ago."

There is still some time before zero o'clock, and there are no people on the streets of Yokohama, and it seems that there are only two of them in the sky and the earth.

"It was indeed a long time ago."

As soon as he mentioned this, Dazai let out a long sigh in his heart.

Before solving the problem of Zhenzhi itself, they made an appointment to spend the New Year together, but this agreement was not realized due to various reasons.

In the next few years, Dazai focused on whitewashing his resume, even if it was the New Year, he could only have a hasty meal together.

It is the first time in the past few years that I am walking leisurely on the streets of Yokohama like this, and it is particularly impressive.

"After all, it is a rare New Year, so I must go to the shrine to pray to the gods."

Zhenzhi breathed in the palm of his hand, warming his stiff fingers.Because of the cold wind, his nose was a little red.

"I know a little-known small shrine, even if it's New Year's day, no one will go there."

"Can you accompany me to that place again?"

Facing this gentle and nostalgic gaze, Dazai naturally had no reason to refuse.

The small shrine they went to together was indeed remote.

In particular, in order to welcome the coming New Year, the shrine that he carefully cleaned was different. This shrine on the mountainside was deserted.

Slowly going up the snow-covered steps, the surroundings are completely silent, only the slight sound of snow falling from the pine branches.

"I used to live without a fixed place. Although I was invited to Yokohama, I didn't plan to live for a long time, and I didn't want to be bound by any organization."

Machi gazed at the snow-covered upward stairs with reminiscence in his eyes.

"The day before I planned to leave here was a dark day like today. I declined Mori Ogai's invitation and wandered around Yokohama alone."

Dazai listened to him quietly, gripping the small box in his pocket tightly.

"Originally, I had no nostalgia for this city, but I came to this small shrine by mistake."

There were not many steps up, and the two quickly climbed to the highest point, and the small shrine was in front of them.Although it is not big, it is very clean, and it has a sacred and ethereal beauty under the reflection of snow.

Looking out from the shrine, you can just see the whole of Yokohama, which is about to usher in the New Year.

"When I came here that time, it was snowing in Yokohama as it is now. At that time, I suddenly felt that this city is very beautiful, and then I chose to live here temporarily."

It is now close to zero, and the faint sound of firecrackers has already sounded in Chinatown.

"Thinking about it now, it was probably because of the guidance of the gods that I chose to stay in Yokohama, and I also met you."

Zhenzhi took out the small box that had been prepared earlier, and solemnly handed it over to Dazai.

"Thank you for your willingness to try to save me from being timid and cowardly, even though you are a coward yourself."

Dazai, who was preempted, rolled his eyes, and took out a small golden velvet box that was exactly the same from his pocket.

"This sentence should be said by me."

If you hadn't reached out to me first, how could I have the courage to save you.

"So we actually chose the same ring from the same store?"

"If nothing else happens, you still use my card?"

Opening two identical small boxes and taking out four identical rings inside, Zhenzhi raised his eyebrows.

Dazai blinked innocently, and rewrapped the scarf blown away by the wind for Machi.

"Zhenzhi, this is the tacit understanding between us."

The cold wind blew Dazai's bandages, and Machi, who was afraid of the cold, sneezed and rubbed his red nose.

"It's freezing to death here, it's better to go back and hide in the kotatsu earlier."

"Well, go home."

The ten fingers are interlocked, and the ring style on the ring finger is the same.

The new year is coming soon.

The author has something to say:
