"...Have we kissed before?"

Maybe it was the side effect of the "potion" at the beginning, and Zhizi didn't have any relevant memories afterwards.I recall a part of it now, probably because I happened to experience something similar.

The flashing images in her mind told Zhizi that it was Dazai who she kissed on her own initiative that time, but the dark historical memory that popped up suddenly made her unable to say the word "forced kiss".

"Well, Zhizi finally remembered? Did you remember anything else?"

"Hmm...no." Zhizi shook his head.

Looking into Dazai's shining eyes, she felt a bad premonition in her heart: "Could it be that something more—cough...?"

Dazai rolled his eyes, and he smiled and said comfortingly, "Don't worry Zhizi, we are fiancée anyway, and those are not big things. You will always think about it later."

...No, it's even more worrying.

Zhizi is sure that those things that she didn't think of are definitely "big things", but now her mind is empty and she can't remember anything, so she wants to put it aside for the time being.

She stood up, intending to sit back in her original position.

At this time, Dazai picked up the glass of starry sky wine that he put on the dining table again, and asked, "Do you want to have another taste of Zhizi?"

"...Although I used the 'best way' just now, considering that its taste may be completely overwhelmed by mine, you may not have tasted the true taste of Starry Sky Wine."

A certain person said provocative words without blushing, successfully reminding Zhizi of the feeling of the two kisses a few minutes ago, and a faint pink appeared on her face again.

——This guy is...too thick-skinned!

Thinking of this in his heart, Zhizi was silent for a while, but still stretched out his hand to take the wine glass and took a sip.

The unique sweetness of grapes, mixed with the mellow aroma of wine, flows over the tip of the tongue and slides into the throat with a little coolness.For Zhizi, who has never drank alcohol, this taste is just right, which is what she likes.

"...It's really good, and it didn't disappoint me."

With a sigh of satisfaction, Zhizi put down the wine glass in satisfaction, and returned to his seat.

The entrees, side dishes and desserts that followed did not disappoint either.

When he was about to leave, Zhizi saw that Dazai took the initiative to take out the card to pay the bill, and couldn't help asking: "Didn't you say a few weeks ago that Kunikida, who was on a mission together, would help you advance the payment because you had no money to buy bandages?" Is it?"

"Hmm... That time, because I didn't bring my wallet, if I didn't say that, Kunikida would definitely not have paid for me."

Zhizi: ...

—so the guy didn't spend all his money on bandages and become a pauper?

But it's right to think about it, as far as she knows, the wages of Hong Kong gangsters are still very impressive, and Dazai, as one of the top five cadres, must have accumulated a lot of wealth in terms of wages, benefits, and year-end bonuses.

Although he has now switched to the Wu detective agency, the detective agency also has a fixed salary.Even if the money was used to buy bandages like crazy, it wouldn't make sense for his savings to bottom out.

Seeming to see what Zhizi was thinking, Dazai took out a card that he brought with him today from his pocket and handed it to her, then smiled and said: "This is my salary card, and the password has been changed to your birthday. I said at the time that I don't have any decent bride price, so I can only hand over my salary to Zhizi."

"Salary card?" Zhizi took the card and looked at it, then asked curiously, "How much money have you saved?"

"As the saying goes, "you can't put all your eggs in one basket", I still have four cards like this, and each card has about this number—"

Saying that, Dazai raised up the four fingers of his right hand.

Zhizi didn't know whether he meant 400, 4000 million, or [-] million, anyway, she would find out when she went back and checked.

She put away the salary card, and then the two got up and left the restaurant.

The beauty of Yokohama at night is different from that of daytime. When the colorful neon lights are on, the whole city sinks into the ocean of lights.

Walking back along the seaside boulevard, you will see the dazzling sea of ​​light on the left and the endless sea on the right.Listening to the sound of waves, there is a beautiful feeling of tranquility.

Especially when you are with someone you like, this kind of calm and warm happiness is even more obvious.

Accompanied by Dazai, Keeko returns home.

They said goodbye and good night to each other, Zhizi looked at Dazai who was about to turn around and leave, and suddenly asked concerned: "Are you okay going back alone?"

She knew of Dazai's troublesome physique, and she didn't know if it was because the relationship between the two had changed. She thought of Dazai's unexpected disappearance a few days ago, and felt inexplicably uneasy.

"...It's going to be all right, I promise I'll get home safely, and I'll send you a message when I get there?"

"...Okay, don't let the river you see on the way go into the water again, and don't hang yourself from the tree...I'll wait for your news."

Having made the agreement, Zhizi watched Dazai leave, and did not enter the house until his back disappeared into the night.

She quickly took a shower, climbed into bed, and started playing with her mobile phone while waiting for the news that Dazai had arrived safely.

After a while, Zhizi put down her phone, stretched out her left hand wearing the engagement ring, and stretched five fingers towards the fluorescent lamp.

She kept changing the angle of her hand, observing the flickering light on the ring body and the broken diamond.

Zhizi insisted on doing such a boring and time-wasting behavior to outsiders for a long time, but it was during this period that she discovered the secret on the ring.

Zhizi withdrew his hand in an instant, propping up the mattress and sitting up straight.She picked up the phone that had been thrown aside, ready to question some guy.

Coincidentally, there was an unread message displayed on her mobile phone, and she clicked on it to see that it was a message from "a certain guy" to report her safety.

Then the news went on, and Zhizi asked her question——

"Osamu Dazai, have you tampered with my ring?!"

"Ah... forgot to mention! In order to make it easier for Zhizi to know my whereabouts at any time, I installed a micro-locator on the pair of rings. I definitely didn't mean to hide Zhizi. I planned to say it when I was eating. real!"

Dazai specially used two exclamation marks to express that he was not lying, but Zhizi discovered the problem after careful consideration.

She can rely on the king's vague sense of clan members to determine Dazai's location, and the locator on the ring is entirely for Dazai to grasp her whereabouts.

For Dazai's actions, Zhizi is no stranger to it.

After confirming that there was only a locator, no bugs or anything more revealing, she just gave someone a verbal lesson, and then acquiesced in his behavior.

Looking at the time displayed on the upper right corner of the phone screen, it was almost 12 o'clock, so Zhizi finally sent a "good night" message, then turned off the lights and lay down, ready to sleep.

Tonight is destined to be a restless night.

Zhizi had a dream again, but this time it was not about the parallel world "Miyata Zhizi".

She felt as if she was in a void, there was nothing around her, except for her, it was darkness, endless darkness.

"……save……"

"...save...save..."

It seemed that there was a cry for help coming from a very far away place, the voice was weak and could not be heard clearly.

She was thinking about how to hear what the voice was saying, and the dream world changed as she wished.

The surrounding environment is still the same as before, the void and darkness where the border cannot be seen.The only difference is that there is one more person in front.

It was a girl who was smaller than the branch, she was wearing an ordinary white dress, and her slender limbs were bound by chains, hanging in mid-air.

Sensing someone appeared, the girl raised her drooping head, opened her mouth with difficulty, and let out a gasp-like cry for help.

"……help me."

At this time, Zhizi realized that the girl's neck and forehead were also pierced by chains.

However, compared to the girl's strange state, what shocked her more was the girl's appearance.

This girl actually—“!!!”

……

The morning sun shines through the cracks in the curtains into the bedroom.

Waking up from the dream, Zhizi stared at the ceiling for a while, then sat up from the bed, changed his clothes, and got out of bed to wash up.

Brushing your teeth and washing your face, making breakfast and eating breakfast, browsing the latest news and news on your phone... Although everything you do is the same as usual, Zhizi is a little absent-minded.

She was still thinking about that weird dream last night.

After Zhizi woke up, she couldn't remember many of the contents of the dream. She only remembered "a girl was bound by iron chains and was asking her for help."

——Who is the girl?Why was the girl tied up and why did she ask her for help?What was the last thing she saw so she would be shocked?

None of these questions were answered.

Poured himself a glass of water, and Zhizhi returned to the bedroom with the glass.

She planned to go to the detective agency for daily standby after finishing making the bed, but at this moment, the familiar cry for help in the dream appeared in the real world and rang clearly in her ears.

Realizing that things were not simple, Zhizi stopped what he was doing.She scanned the room vigilantly, and asked into the air, "Who are you? How do you want me to save you?"

It was quiet all around.

Immediately afterwards, as if in response to the branch's question, a large black hole opened in the floor under her feet without warning, and after successfully swallowing the branch, the hole quickly closed again.

Everything returned to normal, only the half-drunk glass of water on the table and the mobile phone on the bedside remained in the empty room.

……

It was dusk, and the color of the setting sun was like blood, dyeing the sky red.

There was a faint smell of gunpowder smoke in the air, as well as the smell of rotting corpses and a strong smell of blood.

But after a moment of distraction, Zhizi realized that she had actually moved from indoors to outdoors.Not only that, but even the time has changed from early morning to evening.

Lowering her eyes, she stared at the pair of indoor cotton slippers on her feet for a long time, feeling a little complicated.

No matter who designed to bring her here, fortunately, it didn't happen when she just woke up and was still in her pajamas, otherwise she would definitely blow this person's head.

After calming down the irritability and bewilderment in his heart, Zhi Zi raised his head and began to observe the surrounding environment.

This is the seaside cemetery in Yokohama. Because I visited the grave with my adoptive parents, Zhizi is a little familiar with this place.

She was standing under the biggest tree in the cemetery. The strange thing was that there was an extra tombstone under the tree that should have been filled with grass.

It is not placed in those areas where the cemetery is neatly arranged, but a separate cemetery is built here, which must have a special meaning.

Zhizi's heart moved, she wanted to go over and have a look, she always felt that she would find some key clues.

"Master Zhenya—!"

At this time, a person's shout came from a distance, successfully interrupting the action of the branch and attracting her attention.

A strange man in a white uniform ran over from a distance. He ran up to Zhizi and said respectfully, "Master Zhenya, you just left, why are you here again?"

Zhizi frowned and remained silent.

He didn't get an answer, and the strange man was not surprised, but explained the situation to Zhizi on his own: "...the meeting at the branch office is about to start, please go back with me, Master Zhenya."

Zhizi didn't move or speak, she was thinking whether to go with the person in front of her, or to find a reason to act alone.

——Why is the seaside cemetery different from what she imagined?Why did she come here?Still being called by the name "Zhenya"?

There are a lot of questions that need to be answered urgently, but Zhizi doesn't quite trust the strange man in front of him.

At this moment, an accident happened suddenly.

"Master Zhenya, be careful—!!"

The black cloth flew from behind like a sharp blade, and turned into a black beast one meter away from the branch, opening its bloody mouth to tear her apart.

However, the black beast's mouth failed to bite off because it was blocked by an invisible barrier.

"Marie... my lord?"

Zhizi clearly saw the expression of the man in front of him change from surprise to bewilderment, and then to defensiveness and scrutiny.She sighed softly in her heart, it seemed that she didn't need to worry about which one to choose next.

The author has something to say: ps: Discuss with friends about whether Zai has money and how much money he has, and finally think that he has money, which is not too little, but money is just a number to him, so he never cares about it on the salary card No financial management.As for all kinds of asking Kunikida to pay and credit, it is probably his bad taste→→
