Acting as a sword, forced to "fall in the dark".

"Welcome... back?" The smile on Mori Ogai's face seemed to have froze, and he seemed to be going on a trip with the big and small bags in front of him—no, there seemed to be more, as if they were moving. There are uncertain question marks on the ending sound.

And the expression of Mori Ogai made the exhaustion on the face of Osamu Dazai, who had been with Shibadai purchase, disappear immediately, and he happily shook the paper bag in his hand, "Mr. Mori, are you happy, Mr. Tsurumaru for you I bought a gift too!"

"Ah...thank you?" Mori Ogai hesitated for a while, but still didn't say the next sentence, "But didn't you all use my money?"

The reality is too hard, and sometimes you need to lie to yourself to be happy.

Shibai did not forget what Osamu Dazai said before, he blinked his eyes, and his golden pupils had a luminous effect like a cat in the dark night.From a distance, there is even a sense of will-o'-the-wisp, although the color is not quite right.

"Dr. Sen's daughter hasn't come back yet?" Shibai asked curiously.

Mori Ogai was taken aback for a moment, then glanced at Osamu Dazai, and then said, "Are you referring to Alice?"

Just like an ordinary loving father, Mori Ogai showed a gentle smile: "That kid likes to be lively, but the time is coming back soon."

Shibai put down a large pile of exquisitely packaged boxes and bags, almost occupying half of the room, and eagerly said: "I don't know if she will like this kind of gift~"

Mori Ogai asked curiously, "What gift?"

"Yes——" The young man who took off the simple kimono and put on a white shirt looked like an ordinary college student who can be seen every day. Shibai smiled and said: "It's a secret! If you tell this kind of thing in advance, it won't be a big deal." Scared."

"So why do gifts have to do with scaring..." Mori Ogai complained, and then left the room using Alice as an excuse.

Osamu Dazai, who was shopping with Shibai, knew what he bought, and unexpectedly they all fit the items that girls of this age like, and they were not as aesthetically pleasing as before... Well, it was hard to accept.

Speaking of which, Dazai Osamu noticed one thing, apart from the strange aesthetics... "Does Mr. Tsurumaru like red?"

Shibai, who was sitting on the ground sorting out the things he bought, paused. He lowered his head, his bangs blocked his expression, making it hard to see clearly. Shibai said lightly, "If it is dyed red, it will look more like a crane." right?"

"Is it because of this reason?" Dazai Osamu was noncommittal, and then he noticed the movement of Shibaku's hands, "Mr. Tsurumaru, are you planning to..."

Before Dazai Osamu's voice fell, there was movement at the door, the footsteps of two people, one big and one small, and Mori Ogai's helpless voice, and the little girl's delicate complaints.

"It's all Rintaro's fault—" said the little girl named Alice. The sound insulation effect of the room is not very good, not to mention that the door itself is not completely closed.

The blond-haired, blue-eyed girl pushed open the door, with a puffed face that she didn't want to look at Mori Ogai, but she didn't expect that the first thing she saw when she opened the door was a face with inexplicable salted egg glasses.The clean and hearty voice comes out of this salted egg glasses: "Wow!...Ahahahaha! Are you scared?"

Alice stepped back sharply, bumping into Mori Ogai with her back, mist filled her big blue eyes. Seeing this scene, Shibai's body froze, and she panicked immediately, and the following lines followed I can't go down.

"Hey, don't cry!" Shibai took off his glasses without tears, and started to coax the child in a hurry.

As if Mori Ogai and Osamu Dazai were watching a play, they had no intention of intervening.

Shi Bai recalled how he coaxed children in the past, and found that he had no experience in this.After all, the "children" he comes into contact with are all inhumans, no matter how young they look, they are essentially swords that are hundreds of thousands of years older than Shibai.

Although he is particularly good at acting like a baby because of his appearance, except for the timid and cowardly Five Tigers, everyone else is not a character who will cry easily.

And as an idol in this world, it is even more impossible for him to do such pranks to scare children.

However, the more Shibai looked overwhelmed, the calmer he actually became inside.After thinking carefully in his heart, Shibai stretched out his hand to Alice. His golden eyes seemed to overflow with patience and love for children. He said slowly in a slow tone, "Let me perform a magic trick for you!"

Before Alice could shed tears and looked at him blankly, Shibai showed her empty hands.I don't know if it's an illusion, but the young man half kneeling on the ground seemed to be filled with a soft light of silvery white light.

Compared with the eyes that are as bright as the sun, the light silver light shining on his body is like moonlight, which is particularly attractive to people's sight in this dim room.

Afterwards, Shibai flipped his wrist quickly, and a fresh rose with dewdrops appeared from nowhere, and he held it in his hand.The bright red contrasted with the overly fair complexion, and Shibai, who was wearing half-finger gloves and wearing a white shirt, showed an inexplicable look under the light.

After Alice took the roses, Shibai pretended to be mysterious and pointed to Alice's wrist, which should have been empty. At some point, there was a delicate and beautiful ruby ​​bracelet hanging on it.The red diamonds and silver are interlaced, which matches Alice's red gothic dress very well.

Shibai bent his rare golden pupils and said with a smile, "This is the gift for the first time I met little Alice? Do you like it?"

Alice opened her eyes slightly, and raised a bright and lovely smile in surprise: "I like it!"

She took the rose and gave the half-kneeling Shibai an intimate hug, "Alice has decided to like you!"

Mori Ogai, who originally had nothing to do with himself, immediately opened his eyes wide in shock, "Wait, Alice-chan! You can't say such words to men casually!"

The wayward little girl made a face at Mori Ogai, hugged Shibaku's arm tightly, and said, "Don't listen to Rintarou!"

"Rintaro will just keep asking me to change skirts!"

Mori Ogai immediately said: "But no matter what kind of dress Alice puts on, she is super cute, and no matter what kind of expression she puts on, she is the best!"

Most importantly, "This bracelet was also bought with my money!"

For such words, Alice made a disgusted expression, which was completely different from the reaction when Shibai was almost scared to cry at the beginning.Shibai blinked at the little girl's face change, and immediately accepted it, and casually hugged his arm without any resistance.

It wasn't until Alice decided to ignore Mori Ogai with a puffy face, and took Shibai's hand to go out, and then Mori Ogai restrained the expression on his face, and looked at the person who hadn't said a word while holding his hands. The farce-like Osamu Dazai said: "How are you doing today? Dazai-kun."

As if he didn't understand the subtext, Osamu Dazai replied in a cheerful tone: "I had a great time, especially when I paid with Mr. Mori's card and thought of Mr. Mori's expression!"

For this Osamu Dazai who especially likes to play against him, Ogai Mori just looked at him with a gentle elder-like gaze that made him chill, and Osamu Dazai immediately rubbed the goose bumps on his arms unbearably, He asked back: "Otherwise, Mr. Sen thinks, what can happen in just one day?"

Mori Ogai smiled without saying a word.

On the other side, Shibai followed behind Alice, watching the bouncing little girl walking in front of him.Because he changed into a simple white shirt, which is not as conspicuous as the original clothes - as long as he is carrying a sword and wearing a kimono that is almost equivalent to [Tsurumaru Kuninaga], no one in this area will not know him identity of.

The image of Tsurumaru Kuninaga's sword is too famous here.

Alice smiled at Shibai, looked at Shibai without blinking, and asked curiously, "Are you the Tsurumaru that Rintaro said?"

Shibai replied: "What is that Tsurumaru? Is there another Tsurumaru besides me? If there is one, it would be a huge shock!"

Alice blinked: "But, I feel that what you said is not the same as Lin Taro—"

"Eh? What does Dr. Sen say I look like?"

"Hmm... Lin Taro said you are a knife!"

"If this is the description, then Dr. Sen is right." Shibai replied, he raised his head to look at the moon in the night sky, as if thinking of something, he raised a mysterious smile at Alice: "Does Alice like stars?"

When Alice nodded, Shibai said cheerfully that she was being rude, and picked up the petite little girl with a slightly unfamiliar movement, stepping on the gap between the buildings with a little force on her toes, in a way that would not let her Small children feel uncomfortable movements and jump to high places.

Just like a real white crane that can spread its wings, it steps lightly on the roofs of different buildings, and then jumps up with a movement that is difficult for humans to imitate as Alice whispers after seeing the destination.

The Gang Hei Building is the tallest building in Yokohama. As the leader's sword, everyone in Shibaibi knows how to avoid patrol teams and monitor blind spots.After all, even here, it is not necessary to set up infrared scanning in the outer building.

Looking down from a high place in Yokohama at night, there is a strange feeling. Alice's golden hair was blown by the wind, and she looked blankly at Shibai who brought her here.

Shi Baiban knelt in front of Alice, held her hand, and made a circle motion before his eyes.

Shibai, who has been staying in high-rise buildings in Hong Kong all year round, smiled and said, "How about it, isn't this place beautiful?"

"Standing here, it's as if you can catch the stars." Shi Bai stepped on the edge of the floor, facing Alice and walked backwards, as if she was not afraid of falling.

Crane under the moon bent his eyes at Mori Ogai's supernatural power: "Besides, this is what Dr. Mori wants to see."
