[Wen Ye] Do caged birds dream of butterflies?

She waited eagerly for him to speak, as if waiting for an epiphyllum to bloom.

However, just when the curiosity in his eyes reached its peak and he was about to speak——

"Crack."

The door was opened.

You——you and Osamu Dazai looked at the door at the same time, and Koyo Ozaki who walked in was stunned by your gaze, "...Is it not the right time for me to come in?"

——She didn't show the slightest surprise that there were two more people in the room.You looked up at Mori Ogai, but the man didn't seem to notice your gaze at all, and explained to Koyo Ozaki very naturally: "No, it's just two children chatting."

Sure enough, he was playing tricks—is it because he found out that his wrong choice caused an unexpected situation, and he fell into deeper confusion in order to find the answer?still……

You squint your eyes—because you've got the desired result?

Tsk, no matter who it is, the person who interrupts Dazai-san is the most unforgivable person—you decide to hate Mori Ogai from now on.

"I see." Ozaki Koyo smiled without doubting him—at least on the surface, "That's really disturbing."

"Don't bother, don't bother, I was afraid that the little lady would be bored without Hongye-kun." Mori Ogai smiled, politely and sincerely, "Since Hongye-kun is back, then we should go too."

As he said, his eyes seemed to glance over you unintentionally, and then he greeted the young man and said, "Mr. Dazai—"

It appears that the desired result has been obtained.You are a bit sorry, Mr. Dazai and Mori Ogai here are obviously bound.It seems that the short time with the teacher today can only end here for the time being.

However, "Hey..." Faced with Mori Ogai's urging, the boy let out a dissatisfied voice, "But I haven't asked any questions yet, I agreed to bring me here to chat with Xiao Tomie~"

"It's okay next time. Hongye-kun obviously has something to do with Ms. Tomie. Maybe it's something inside PortMafia. Dazai-kun is not a member of PortMafia, so it's not suitable to stay. It's better to follow me. If you want to chat, I can also Accompany you."

"No! The doctor's words are very boring. They always say that they are very busy and have no time, and they always fail to do what they promised me."

"This..." Mori Ogai showed a helpless expression, stretched out his hand to scratch his hair, and turned his troubled eyes to Ozaki Koyo.

The latter smiled very considerately, "If Ms. Fu Jiang is willing, I have no problem at all." She raised a thin piece of paper in her hand, "Just pick a low-level member who runs errands, and the doctor is someone trusted by the boss. Dazai-kun was brought by a doctor, and this level of information is not considered confidential to the two of you."

"In that case..."

"In that case, let me choose with Xiao Tomie." Osamu Dazai cut off Mori Ogai's words involuntarily, "As for the doctor, just go on with your business."

As he spoke, he pushed Mori Ogai outward.The latter seemed to really be unable to resist the boy's strength, and was pushed out the door while muttering "Hey~".Dazai slammed the door shut.

Koyo Ozaki laughed softly, and then handed you the list.

You took it, and Osamu Dazai immediately came up to you. He stood very close to you, and put his finger on your wrist holding the list without hesitation.

The small piece of skin touched by the fingertips felt as if it was about to be scalded.

"Little Tomie?"

"Ah." You came back to your senses and focused your attention back on the paper. There were more than 40 names densely arranged there, and they should all be the lowest-ranking members of "Innocent".

——It is the kind of screw-like person who has nothing to do with any upper-level forces, has no ambition or the value of being bought, and simply completes orders step by step and lives aimlessly.

In other words, people who look like screws.

Your gaze stops on a certain name.

"Oda... Sakunosuke?" Osamu Dazai read out, "Is Xiao Tomie going to choose this person?"

"Yes."

"Is there anything special about him? Xiao Fujiang knows him?"

"I don't know." You laughed, "but I like his name."

"It's a name again..." Osamu Dazai blinked.

"Well, just because of the name."

"It sounds so perfunctory." Osamu Dazai looked at you, "Although Xiao Tomie is telling the truth."

"Yeah." You nodded, "I won't lie to Mr. Dazai."

"So, have you chosen?" Ozaki Koyo said, even the timing of interjection seemed like a elder sister who has experience in taking care of younger siblings.She took the list from your hand and looked at it with a flash of surprise in her eyes.

"What's wrong?" You didn't miss the look. "Is there something wrong with this person?"

"No, on the contrary, it's better to say that Ms. Tomie is very discerning." Koyo Ozaki looked at you again as if seeing you for the first time, "This is the only person with supernatural powers on this list."

"Eh?" You are a little surprised, are you so lucky?

"Oda Sakunosuke, the supernatural ability is [Seamless Clothes], which can predict the crisis of oneself within a few seconds. It is a very rare ability involving prediction and time."

"Why is such a person the bottom member?" Osamu Dazai asked.

"Because I don't want to kill people." Koye Ozaki showed a wry smile, "He is obviously a very suitable candidate for the martial arts faction, and he is also very skilled, but he rejected all similar tasks because he was 'unwilling to kill people', and his superiors were also very strict. It’s a headache. After all, PortMafia doesn’t support idlers, so in the end, I can only arrange some dirty work that others don’t want to do.”

"A mafia that doesn't want to kill people?" Dazai Osamu's tone was a bit strange.

"A mafia that strictly adheres to the credo of never killing people no matter what happens."

"Isn't that just right?" You said, looking at Momiji Ozaki, "Miss Momiji, if that's the case, then give this person to me. This person is useless to 'everyone' right now. Then let him be My exclusive errands are ready. It doesn’t matter if you don’t need to meet, and it’s okay if you don’t need to touch. Just let him buy things for me. Let’s start with moving the books, move all the books in my house over, Just put it anywhere and have someone pick it up."

This is a talisman - if what Ozaki Koyo said "all the top leaders of the organization admit - at least on the surface - that Tomie is the daughter of the old boss" is true.

The other two present obviously understood this as well.

"Why did you do this?" It was Osamu Dazai who asked the question. He looked into your eyes and said in an almost innocent tone, "The life and death of this person has nothing to do with Xiao Tomie, right?"

"Not really," you nodded, "but I hope he lives."

"why?"

"Because I like his name." It was such a simple reason.

"It's very self-willed, Tomie." Dazai Osamu paused, "Could it be because of my name?"

"of course not."

"why?"

"Because it's Dazai-san."

"Is that so?" Osamu Dazai smiled, but didn't say anything further.So you just take it as his acquiescence—yes, that’s right, if Osamu Dazai told you to leave this Sakunosuke Oda alone, you would simply take back the share that was created because of the name "Sakunosuke Oda" of goodwill.

Even if you are also a member of the "rogue faction", even if in the world before you traveled, Oda Sakunosuke was a friend of Dazai-sensei, but nothing is more important than Dazai-sensei's own wishes.

So you are really relieved, after all, if you are opposed, it means that your choice itself is against the wishes of Mr. Dazai-this is not what you want to see.

But, "Oh, yes," you said to Koyo Ozaki, "Miss Momiji, let him help me clean up my adoptive father's body while moving the books. It's in the big refrigerator in the basement, under the vegetable compartment. .”

After speaking, you stared at Dazai Osamu and Ozaki Koyo's wide-open eyes, stunned for a moment, and then explained belatedly: "Ah, please don't look at me like that, I didn't kill you."

***

After explaining in detail the cause of the adoptive father's death and why the body was in the refrigerator, Ozaki Koyo and you confirmed other important matters about moving the book, and then left with the list.

You always feel that the way she looks at you when she goes out is still a little subtle.

"Are you that surprised? Miss Momiji is PortMafia?"

"It's because it's Xiao Tomie." Osamu Dazai replied, he was left in your room, and in Ozaki Koye's words, "I'm afraid you will be bored".

Of course you are more than willing to do so.So as soon as Koyo Ozaki left, you invited him to sit down. After standing for so long just now, you were worried that Mr. Dazai's legs would be sore.

So now he is sitting on the sofa, holding a pillow, looking like a small one.And you are sitting on the ground in front of the sofa, although there are other chairs, but you like this angle to see him.It was carpeted anyway.

"Ah, it's because of the face." You reached out and touched your cheek, which made sense, Fu Jiang is beautiful, but it's not actually the appearance of a femme fatale.On the contrary, this face is very plastic.The expression changes, the temperament is completely different.Ozaki Momiji also doesn't seem to know what happened between you and Mori Ogai last night, so she has the impression of you as a beautiful, precocious but harmless girl—especially after your sudden kindness.

"No." However, Dazai-sensei denied your idea.
