Chief Okita in Taisho

"what happened?"

Souji Okita's gentle voice brought Osamu Dazai back to reality.

The black-haired boy thought back a lot, but in reality it was only a few breaths.

Osamu Dazai's slightly dazed pupils refocused, "...it's okay."

By the way, they settled the Yuhu matter at the station, and now they are on the mountain road to Aokigahara's sea of ​​trees.

"Speaking of...that's the first time we met here."

Okita Souji overlooked the sea of ​​trees, showing a little nostalgia.

"Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye."

The longer you live, the more insensitive to the passage of time.

It's not like before——

Dragging a sick body that vomits blood, one more second of life is a gift from the gods.

"Okay, let's go."

Okita Souji suddenly found that the cloak was a bit long on the 14-year-old boy, almost dragging to the ground.

Osamu Dazai also realized this: "..."

Scan around.

California Kiyomitsu is 165+ high heels, and Soujiro is even taller than California Kiyomitsu.

And myself-

less than 160.

Dazai Osamu: "..."

Unexpectedly, he would have a day when he would worry about his height!

"I will grow taller." There was a trace of determination in his tone.

He had to be taller than Soujiro, if not a lot taller!

California Qingguang raised his eyebrows, "How about buying milk for you when you go back?"

Osamu Dazai stuck out his tongue in disgust, "I don't want to drink."

He raised his legs to keep up with Souji Okita, but Osamu Dazai overestimated his physical fitness——

Just standing up from the cold snow, the joints are still stiff.

Osamu Dazai let out a soft cry, and was about to fall——

Okita Souji immediately turned around, and because of the swordsman's outstanding reflexes, he subconsciously stretched out his hand to pull the opponent.

At that moment, from the fingertips, Souji Okita's figure turned into starlight and dissipated.

can not touch.

Osamu Dazai fell to the ground, stunned.

"...Ah oh."

It's over.

There was a sound of drawing a sword!

California Qingguang who lost his master: "Kill you!"

This guy erased Okita-kun again!

California Qingguang listened to the voice hidden in his mind——

"Appearing in this world consumes 5000 redemption value."

"Are you showing up?"

……

"confirmed."

Osamu Dazai was wronged.

"I did not do it on purpose……"

The red pupils of California Qingguang are even redder.

"If you did it on purpose, I'll kill you right now."

5000! 5000! ! !

The redemption value obtained by killing Shangxian just now is gone in an instant!Killed in vain!

Moreover, it is always eliminated like this, and I don't know if there will be any bad effects left in the future.

For example... can no longer appear.

Waited a while.

California Qingguang was surprised, "Why hasn't Seta-kun come out yet?"

Osamu Dazai also looked left and right, with an imperceptible trace of anxiety in his eyes.

Just when he looked in a certain direction——

A suddenly enlarged grimace appeared in front of my eyes: "Wow!"

Osamu Dazai: "!"

Unlike children who would scream when frightened, Osamu Dazai's first reaction was to freeze when frightened.

But it was enough to amuse Okita Souji.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

California Qingguang watched this scene.

Ah, I've confirmed, the stable demon king attribute is inherited from Okita-kun.

"Setian-kun, you can also say a few words about him."

"say what?"

The laughter still lingered in Mr. Okita's words, "Dazai said he didn't do it on purpose, and this time I touched him myself."

Osamu Dazai hid beside Souji Okita, and made a face at Kiyomitsu, who had drawn his sword just now.

California Qingguang: "Setian-kun, you are too kind to this guy, that's why he is so unscrupulous."

"Have it."

Okita Souji changed the subject with a smile.

"Alright Kiyomitsu, do you still have the previous Kopei candy, take it out and eat~"

"……Hey."

California Qingguang helpless.

***

"Mr. California?"

...What is this called?

California Qingguang glanced at the people around him, "Why?"

They are now sitting on a fallen tree trunk in an open space, next to the entrance to the Aokigahara Sea of ​​Trees.

Okita-kun said to take a rest first, and went to collect firewood, and asked him to watch Dazai Osamu.

Both he and Okita-kun were not afraid of the cold, and they thought it was to take care of this kid.

California Kiyomitsu actually has no obvious likes and dislikes towards Osamu Dazai.

He is the sword, and everything depends on the master's will.

What's more, the other party is Okita-kun.

It is his favorite Okita-kun that he lost and recovered after hundreds of years.

... Well, it's just that I occasionally fantasize about the scene of Ann coming over to clean up this kid, occasionally.

I don't know when stability will come.

The Okita-kun you never forget is here.

"What the hell is Soujiro trying to do?"

Osamu Dazai's question was somewhat unexpected to Kiyomitsu.

California Qingguang leaned back and said lazily, "Kill the ghost king."

This is true, only by killing the ghost king and obtaining enough redemption value can Okita-kun return to the end of the Bakumatsu.

Dazai frowned slightly.

Kill the ghost king...

His intuition told him it was more than that, but he couldn't see Soujiro's ultimate goal.

Osamu Dazai stopped talking, his eyes darkened, and his precise brain sorted out the information he had obtained in the past six months.

When Okita Souji came back, he saw that the other party was thinking.

"Sorry, it took a little longer, many branches were wet with snow."

Qingguang, California, helped raise firewood.

"Wow~ I feel much better," Souji Okita's purple pupils were dyed with the color of flames, "Even if you can't feel it, but looking at the flames will make you feel warm."

"Sojiro." Dazai Osamu suddenly said.

Okita Souji turned his head and smiled slightly.

"what happened?"

"If your goal is to kill the Ghost King...you just killed Shang Xian just now, it's better not to take it lightly."

Osamu Dazai is rare and serious: "I heard that the ghost king——"

Is a coward?

Can't do it?

If there is a life-threatening guy, Gui Wu Tsuji can wait until the other party dies before coming out!

Unexpectedly, Okita Souji said: "I know."

"……Eh?"

"I have a way. I won't let the ghost get in touch with the ghost king."

Dazai stopped talking.

"anyway……"

California Qingguang turned his head to look at the entrance next to him, "It's really a forest that exudes an ominous atmosphere."

Didn't expect to come again.

He fiddled with the fire to make the fire burn hotter, "Did those people really commit suicide, or were they eaten by ghosts?"

Was it the bewitching of ghosts or their own inner voice that drove them into the forest of suicide?

"Then I don't know." Okita Souji interjected, expressing understanding and sadness in his expression.

"However, there were rumors in this forest—"

"This area is very poor, and everyone is hungry. Many families will leave the elderly and children here to starve to death, so there is a lot of resentment in the forest."

Okita Souji spoke softly, as if the tragedy was reappearing before his eyes.

"how do you know?"

Osamu Dazai opened his mouth abruptly.

"..."

Director Okita gave a slight pause, "I heard that."

"After all, I'm also traveling around killing ghosts." He smiled at Osamu Dazai.

Dazai pursed his lips.

"...It's true."

He lowered his head slightly, his expression hidden in the shadow of the fire.

Sojiro...

Just how strong are you, and how many secrets do you have that I don't know?

……

Before entering the sea of ​​trees in Aokigahara, the group had another conflict.

Director Okita wanted California Kiyomitsu and Osamu Dazai to stay outside, and let the obviously more sensible Kiyomitsu watch over Osamu Dazai.

But Ka Qingguang wanted to go in with him.

"I want to protect Seta-kun."

Osamu Dazai also wanted to go in.

"Ah, I want to see the beauty of suicide again..."

"What did you say, huh?"

Okita Souji smiled blackly, and raised his scabbard as a threat.

going to be beaten--

Osamu Dazai subconsciously closed his eyes.

dong dong.

There were two light knocks on the forehead.

Osamu Dazai opened his eyes, and Okita Souji was attacking California Kiyomitsu with words.

"Actually, from the past to the present, Qingguang has always been my favorite child."

"Leave it to Qingguang, I'm most at ease."

"I believe Kiyomitsu will be optimistic about Dazai, right?"

California Qingguang: "Yes!!!"

If Osamu Dazai could see the sword system, he would be able to see Sakura Fubuki covering the sky.

Dazai Osamu: "..."

Wait, are you persuaded like this? !

Looking at the piglet being held in the arms of Mr. Okita, he couldn't help feeling: These days, people can't even compare to a pig!

"Puff, brat, you're still too tender."

"See, the embrace of the chief executive is mine!"

"Steal the chief? You are 100 years too early!"

Osamu Dazai didn't know how he could see the contempt on a pig's face.

"Sojiro—"

"Leave the pig."

Osamu Dazai sincerely proposed.

"If I get hungry later, I can bake it and eat it."

"...Eh?" Okita Souji was slightly taken aback.

"Pfft!!!"

Cai hid his anger and bumped his head against Osamu Dazai's back.

click.

Osamu Dazai clearly heard the sound of the lumbar spine breaking (mistake).

"You nasty piggy bank!"

"Pfft!!!"

One person and one pig were beaten together.

The result of the fight: both losers.

"Okay, stop making trouble and hide."

Okita Souji hugged Saizou and coaxed Piggy to loosen the bandage in his mouth.

"Then, let's go first."

"Sojiro..." Osamu Dazai was very pitiful.

The bandages were all messed up, making him look like a cat tangled in a ball of yarn.

"What Soujiro, you idiot brat."

"He's called Souji, Okita Souji!"

"Idiot who doesn't even know his real name!"

The figure of Souji Okita disappeared into the depths of the forest.

"Okay," California Kiyomitsu comforted Dazai Osamu, "Setian-kun is also worried that you will be in danger."

After all, Osamu Dazai was the only unarmed man present.

However, no one dared to underestimate him.

Thinking of the means and strategies that the other party has shown in the past six months, California Qingguang couldn't believe that this person was only 14 years old.

Thinking about it carefully, only in front of Okita-kun, Osamu Dazai would show some childish look.

Osamu Dazai whispered, "Dangerous..."

The atmosphere was quiet, save for the crackling of firewood.

After a while.

California Kiyomitsu kept in mind to take care of Osamu Dazai's entrustment: "If you are sleepy, go to bed first, I will be in charge of the night watch."

"Mr. California—"

"...Just call me Kiyomitsu just like Seta-kun."

There is always something weird about this "California gentleman".

"Okay, Qingguang."

Dazai Osamu smiled, and immediately faded away, "Have you ever thought about what to do if Soujiro ran into danger in the forest?"

Kiyomitsu subconsciously wants to refute that no one can beat Okita-kun!

But when asked, he inevitably felt worried.

Finally, California Qingguang only said: "Then you don't have to worry about it."

He will rush to Okita-kun with the fastest speed.

And this time-

Okita Souji stared at the ghost in front of him, his pupils constricted.

The murderous intent of one person and one ghost was almost substantiated, the strong wind blew the branches and leaves of the dark forest wildly, and boundless horror pervaded the air.

If someone strays into this murderous aura field, they will definitely be out of breath!

ghost--

Wearing purple clothes and a black horse riding hakama, with long hair tied up, he holds a human head in one hand and a sword hilt on his waist with the other.

In the temperament, there is a dignified and dignified unique to the samurai.

It was the same samurai as him.

Winding... one.
