After I retired, I became a Butei clerk

But there is an old saying that plans can never keep up with change.

Eri Shiratori looked at the empty house, feeling a little helpless, it seems that Dazai-senpai really ran away.The notes she left for him are still on the table. Judging from the dust, it seems that no one has come to her house these days.

Well, let's go to him after I finish my holiday and go to work.Shiratori Eri sighed, why didn't she realize that Dazai-senpai is actually a person who can hide from others.

She changed into simple, convenient and easy-to-work clothes, and cleaned up the outside of the house. When she arrived at the guest room, Eri Shiratori found that everything in the guest room where Osamu Dazai lived was neatly organized. There are traces of someone living here.

Seeing the state inside, Shiratori Eri paused, but in the end she didn't go in to tidy up, and chose to rest after cooking and taking a bath.

But in the middle of the night, she was awakened by a burst of intense, burning sight. Eri Shiratori subconsciously touched the dagger hidden under the pillow, but she found nothing, no!

"are you awake?"

A deep and magnetic voice sounded, because the voice was so low, it seemed extraordinarily gentle in the dark night.

"Senior Dazai?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Eri Shiratori's body relaxed slightly, but the spiritual power was already running rapidly in her body. She asked him calmly, "Why is Senior Dazai here? It's wrong to enter a girl's boudoir at night."

Do you really think that she has such a good temper that she won't get angry and beat someone even if she is almost attacked at night?

Even if she has taken care of you and understands you as a human being, she will still beat you!

A low laugh, as if the person felt it was very interesting, so he couldn't stop laughing. In the end, he still spoke in that low and gentle tone, "But this is my room."

what?

After her eyes adjusted to the night environment, Shiratori Eri saw Osamu Dazai who was sitting on the edge of the bed and watching her. He was wearing a suit and tie, and a scarf around his neck, for her violation. The sense of harmony is particularly strong.At this time, he let Shiratori Eri look at him, and pointed to the position of the desk lamp, "You can turn on the light."

"......"

Eri Shiratori followed his gestures and turned on the desk lamp. The dim and soft light illuminated the area. Only then did she realize that she was sleeping in a strange black bed in her pajamas. , It's very depressing to watch.

At the same time, this bit of light also allowed Shiratori Eri to see clearly the attire of the person in front of her.

Silver-gray suit, black shirt, ginger tie and long red scarf, the Dazai Osamu in front of him was dressed completely differently from his usual style, and the bandages wrapped around his body were the same, except that he was also wrapped around his head. Wearing a white bandage, it went around his forehead to cover his left eye.

He sat there quietly, looking around Shiratori Eri bit by bit, as if seeing her for the first time.After a long time, he spoke in a low voice, "It turns out that Erika looks like this. I have been trying to find you in this world, but I found that I can't find you in any world except him. But even You can't even see what you look like."

"So I've always wanted to see you."

"I didn't expect it to come true all of a sudden."

Shiratori Eri silently watched him talking to himself, confirming that his brows and eyes were a little younger than Dazai-senpai, looking as if Dazai-senpai had become younger.

But his demeanor is gentle and calm, and the emotions in his eyes are more empty and depressed than that of Dazai-senpai, as if he has carried a lot of things alone, so he is extraordinarily tired and tired.

"parallel world?"

After a little deduction, Shiratori Eri came to this shocking conclusion, and she was a little confused, "No, this shouldn't exist, how is it possible?"

How could the history that they guarded with the sacrifices of countless god-inspectors and swords pay the mourning gods to split into other parallel worlds and futures?

If this is true, what are they paying so much for?

"Don't worry, Eri-chan, the situation is not what you think, and you will know later."

Seeing Shiratori Eri's unbelievable expression, Osamu Dazai, who was sitting by the bed, hesitated for a moment, reached out and touched the center of her brow, and tapped there lightly, making Shiratori Eri look up at him in a daze.

"You guys did succeed, so don't make that look."

Feeling the warm temperature on her forehead, Shiratori Eri reached out to take his hand off, but didn't care about his movement of holding her hand instead, and calmed down a little, "What should I call you?"

"..."

Hearing Shiratori Eri's words, Osamu Dazai in this world was silent for a moment before replying, "You don't need to use honorifics, just call me Osamu Dazai."

"Okay, Dazai-san. Do you know how I got here?"

How could she wake up and jump out of the world?

"To be honest, I'm not very clear why Erika came here suddenly. As I said before, I tried to find you before, but you don't exist in any parallel world."

"It's as if you disappeared from all the worlds, and only that person has a unique you. I'm really not reconciled."

It seemed that he had said something that made him sad, and the voice of Dazai Osamu in front of him became lower and lower, until the last sentence was almost breathed out.

Shiratori Eri was also paying attention to every word he said, so she vaguely heard what he said, and then remained silent for a moment before continuing, "Aren't there me in all the worlds?"

That's probably because of what she did before, directly obliterating her existence from the source, if it wasn't for those fusangshen who finally sacrificed themselves and stabilized her body with countless broken and small godheads, she might be the only one now It has long since ceased to exist.

"Ah."

Having said this, Osamu Dazai moved a little towards Shiratori-eri, but still kept a little distance, so as not to make Shiratori-eri feel disgusted and retreat, he reached out and brushed Shiratori-eri's long hair loose on his shoulders, Gathering it behind Shiratori Eri's ears, so that her face could be clearly displayed in front of him.

After looking at it for a while, Osamu Dazai showed a faint smile, as if he couldn't get enough of it, "Eri-chan is so pretty. Even more beautiful than I thought."

A subtle light suddenly flashed in his eyes, reflecting Shiratori Eri's figure, and in the black world reflected in his eyes, there was only her little blue tint. ?

"thanks?"

Shiratori Eri hesitated to answer him.

This seems to be the first time that she has been praised so seriously. After all, most people seem to not remember her appearance, and they are often startled by her almost non-existent breath, and then there is no more.

"......"

"Eri-chan?"

"Huh?" Eri Shiratori waited for Osamu Dazai who suddenly called her to speak.

"Eri-chan?"

"Dazai-san?"

I don't know why Osamu Dazai called her name again, Shiratori Eri was stunned for a moment, and tried to call his name, feeling a little strange, it felt like a child acting like a baby.

"......"

"Will I ever see you again?"

Osamu Dazai said this very calmly, but he subconsciously added a little more strength to the hand that held Shiratori Eri, but he relaxed a little when he realized that he had exceeded his strength. His fingers trembled, but he did not stop. To try to boost.

Shiratori Eri looked at the faint light on her body, and her figure gradually became unreal in it. She tried to reach out to touch Osamu Dazai, but the moment she touched him, her fingers turned into gold dust and dissipated. There is also a tendency to spread to the arms.

So she answered him very distressed, "I don't know either."

So Dazai Osamu did not speak any more, but quietly watched Shiratori Eri's figure gradually disappear into nothingness. When she was about to disappear, he got up and hugged her, "See you again, Erika-chan."

Osamu Dazai saw that Shiratori Eri seemed to want to respond, but before she could say it, her answer was taken away by the light.
