After I retired, I became a Butei clerk

On the highest floor of the Hong Kong-Hei Building, there were no railings or walls to prevent falling, only the three people stood quietly on the rooftop where the wind was howling.

Atsushi Nakajima of Hong Kong Hero and Akutagawa Ryunosuke of Detective Agency are still listening to the leader who controls Hong Kong Hei, who has ruled the darkness of Yokohama and even more areas in Japan in a few years. The tall and thin man named Osamu Dazai is talking about them I don't know, the words about the origin of this world are shaking my mind violently.

This world is actually just a world with possibilities in the book. It can be written by people in the world outside the book at any time and then destroyed. Even if more than three people in this world know this fact, it will lead to instability in the world. ?

But three?

Thinking of this, Atsushi Nakajima said anxiously, his eyes full of anxiety, "Mr. Dazai, if you tell us about this, then you..."

Osamu Dazai's words confirmed his thoughts. A smile of fulfilling wishes and nothing else appeared on his face, just like a child who got his most beloved toy, so he is about to sleep peacefully with a sweet dream.

"Me? Of course I am going to accomplish my ultimate goal. This world will be unstable if too many people know about it. The best way is to exclude me. Finally, I have reached this point."

"Are you going to die just for that? I don't really believe in your idea."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke squinted his eyes and asked him coldly, but Osamu Dazai glanced at him indifferently.

"Of course you don't understand," he opened his hand, feeling the wind gliding through his fingers, with a persistent smile, "I really don't care about this world at all, so what does it matter to me if it shatters? But here It is the only world where that person is still alive and writing novels, I can't let it be destroyed so easily, this is the only one [we] found after searching countless worlds."

Having said that, Osamu Dazai's voice gradually lowered, "It's a pity that the other person can't be found no matter where. From the beginning, there was no hope at all."

"But forget it. After all, I have been with the person I want to see the most so many times. She has fulfilled all my expectations. I also took her to meet and chat with him. Except for a few small regrets, everything is fine. It’s so fulfilling, beyond my imagination.”

Atsushi Akutagawa Ryunosuke Nakajima on the tall building heard the two people mentioned by Osamu Dazai in a vague way, and couldn't help but feel an extremely complicated and unspeakable emotion in his heart. What kind of person can make this person who has always been ruthless At this moment, the person who never revealed half of his true emotions, only tenderness appeared in his eyes.

However, they didn't have a chance to ask, because Osamu Dazai, who had been standing at the very edge, just smiled like that, leaned back, and fell down calmly like that.

Like a bird that no longer wants to raise its wings, it fell down like a bird embracing death with all its strength.

Only a red scarf swirled a few times at a high place because of the momentary wind, and then slowly fell down under the action of gravity.

"Mr. Dazai!"

Atsushi Nakajima thought it was him who shouted when he saw Osamu Dazai jumping off the building, but after walking desperately for a few steps, he realized that his voice had already been extremely difficult due to excessive fighting and the destruction of the collar that restrained the ability of Yuexia Tiger. It is absolutely impossible to utter such a resolute, urgent and desperate cry, as if to make a last-ditch effort at the end of life.

Moreover, it sounded like a girl's voice.But besides Akutagawa Ryunosuke, how could there be another person here?

Thinking of this, he unconsciously opened his eyes wide, held his breath and looked at the person who suddenly appeared and landed from mid-air. Her figure was somewhat transparent surrounded by the setting sun, but it was filled with a faint golden light, as if in the haze. People saw the coming of the gods.

Who is that?

Atsushi Nakajima, who only had time to think of this in his mind, and Ryunosuke Akutagawa, who almost exhausted his physical limit due to the battle, could only stay in place and watch the girl who landed on the roof pause after landing , ran straight forward like a sharp sword out of its sheath, and jumped off the edge.

This person, wouldn't he come to die with Mr. Dazai?

Atsushi Nakajima can only think of this, because this is the Hong Kong Hei Building, the highest place in Yokohama. If you don't use any equipment to land from a high altitude, you will definitely die. Mr. Dazai, who can be nullified, has no effect in front of him, and the end result is that both of them will die.

And he could see very clearly that the person had absolutely nothing in his hand just now, and just jumped after Mr. Dazai jumped off without hesitation, so she just came to die with Mr. Dazai?

who is she?Is it the "her" Mr. Dazai said?

Atsushi Nakajima was confused on the top, but Osamu Dazai, who jumped off the building, felt that he had an illusion. How could Eri-chan rush over at this time?

However, when he felt the warmth of being hugged by someone and opened his eyes, he realized that this was not a scene he had imagined.

Shiratori Eri really came to him and hugged him tightly.The two fell all the way under the gravity, and the strong wind blew up her hair, causing all the emotions in her eyes to be conveyed to her unreservedly, and at the same time, the words of Shiratori Eri were so gentle that she almost sighed.

"Mr. Dazai, why are you so stupid, dying alone in order to protect a world, not giving yourself any room at all, it's too sad. Obviously, you didn't really want to die, did you?"

While she was talking, a seemingly illusory and beautiful golden mist spread around her, surrounding the two of them in silence, and then she was caressed by Osamu Dazai who seemed to have just woken up from a dream, with hesitation in his voice, "Eri-chan ?”

"Well, I'm here."

After answering this sentence, Shiratori Eri saw the violent shaking in Dazai Osamu's eyes, and the words he said seemed to be crying, "Eri-chan, what are you doing, stop now."

Why is his figure disappearing little by little when you are hugging him.

Shiratori Eri didn't answer his words, just looked at him and smiled, this kind of smile that seemed to have no attachment to the world made Osamu Dazai panic, "Eri-chan!"

When he called Shiratori Eri's name, Osamu Dazai found that the two people who had been falling continuously seemed to have lost the traction of gravity, and slowly paused in mid-air. He was floating down safely, Shiratori Eri, who no longer hugged him and let go of her hand, seemed to be sucked up by something and wanted to disappear.

"No, Eri-chan!"

After being let go, Osamu Dazai, who had not moved at all, grabbed Shiratori Eri's seemingly thinner hand, and the cold temperature made him shiver in his heart, and then pleaded, "Eri-chan , no matter what you are doing, stop quickly, I won’t die, okay, don’t scare me.”

"It's late, Dazai-san."

Eri Shiratori smiled softly, but tears welled up in her eyes, she answered him softly but firmly, "I know the reasons why Mr. Dazai wants to protect this world, and I have also seen your efforts to stabilize the world." , but that's no use."

She said in a mournful tone the truth she had received from the book, "It won't work."

"As long as I don't die, no matter how much you pay for the parallel world, it will only end in destruction. Because in order to seal the history, the book needs enough power to pay homage. When the external power is insufficient, it will turn to devour you sooner or later. In such a world with [possibility], all your efforts will be in vain.”

"History cannot be sealed. The parallel world that can exist independently born in the book will always be bound by this world. The power variation caused by time and space loopholes will only make more and more people have supernatural powers. But since I returned to this world, In fact, I didn’t realize at all that this kind of power beyond what humans should have brought much benefit to people. All I saw was violence, fighting, and the fear of ordinary people under the shadow of death coming from nowhere.”

"However, as long as the person who bears the curse of history is alive, history can never be restored."

"Because I am the one who is cursed but still alive, the only [Shiratori Eri], the one who created books and reshaped history. Unexpectedly, even if I did everything to restore history and even reincarnated, the once destroyed History still won't spare everyone who caused its destruction."

"The strength and life I have carried since birth is my original sin."

Speaking of this, Shiratori Eri's tears finally fell when she didn't realize it. She seemed to be asking Osamu Dazai for an answer, or to give him an answer that had been decided long ago, "Mr. Dazai, Why should I still be alive when others have paid so much to restore history, and let everyone's efforts fall short?"

"Obviously damn it, it's only me."

Dazai Osamu, who was stunned by Shiratori's words, just fell to the ground under her ability, but he didn't even have time to care about this matter, he just held Shiratori's fading hand, and he At this time, the ability of his body actually took effect, and the thin blue light trembled and lit up, competing with the increasingly faint golden mist on Shiratori Eri's body.

"Eri-chan, don't do this, there will be a solution, you believe me, I will do it."

"Please, don't die in front of me," Dazai Osamu's eyes turned red, and he begged Shiratori Eri, who was still disappearing slowly despite being briefly stopped by his ability, "don't leave me behind. one person."

"It's useless, it's too late. I reset the time of your world to catch up with you and save you, but this power is forbidden to be used. I have already been targeted by history. Now I have to pay off my debts." when."

"I can't watch the world you worked so hard for disappear, and I can't live in a world that uses other people's lives to keep it going. As long as I disappear, everything will be fine."

"Live well, Mr. Dazai. I really love this world. If you like me, you must live well. Take a good look at the world for me, the person you love?"

At the end of her life being deprived, Shiratori Eri felt that her previous emotions were as nothing as the moon in a mirror through the water.Now she recalled the past, and finally realized that Osamu Dazai, who tried to hold her back, had been looking for something in her. The feeling that made people feel so warm that they wanted to cry came back after the curse of history disappeared. to her.

She realized that the curse of history was fulfilled in all aspects, including her family members who had suffered misfortune when she first emerged with power, and that she could only have enough emotions to maintain history, including the despair she had experienced. The cries and curses of those creatures at the most desperate moment under the distortion and destruction of history were fulfilled on her one by one.

Then, it is really embarrassing for those who have been helping themselves. They have paid so much behind the scenes of crying for the suffering they have suffered.

Thank you so much for meeting you.

"Eri-chan!!!"

In Dazai Osamu's voice that seemed to be shouting with all his strength, Shiratori Eri slowly closed his eyes, and the hand he had been grasping desperately disappeared completely into light and dust.

However, it is different from the usual scene of her returning to the main world. In the sky of this world, there is a tear-like black gap like a scar, but it is full of white paths that appear and disappear in real time, as well as colorful roads. The self-rotating nebula, and countless golden rivers whose numbers cannot be seen clearly are tumbling, and finally slowly approaching to form a huge golden river.

It rolled and roared, and endless phantoms danced in it, like creatures screaming inside, and like history repeating itself in a collapsed corner, and finally flowed crazily.

The illusory figure in Shiratori-e dissipated little by little into a large cloud of light dust, no matter how much Osamu Dazai stretched out his hand to block it, he couldn't keep a trace of it, and flew upward into the long golden river, turning into a ray of light in it.

The golden scene gradually calmed down in the light and dust transformed in Shiratori-e, even the black cracks slowly closed, the sky returned to azure blue, and finally transparent rain fell out of thin air, with a majestic momentum that seemed to Dazai Osamu's ears. I can hear the sound of the world rejoicing.

Yes, they are happy that they finally survived, but what about Eri?What about Eri, who has no choice since birth?

She obviously didn't make any mistakes, so why was she born with such a sin and could only sacrifice for the world?

But in the memory he received, this scene clearly did not appear.

She obviously, obviously, gave up her identity as a god and spent her short but warm life as a human being.

What went wrong?still......

Osamu Dazai let himself lie down in the rain, and let the big drops of raindrops falling from the sky hit his face, as if they had entered his eyes, and felt sour in his heart.

Or, after all, it's just a dream...

The scene in front of him became blurred, and Osamu Dazai seemed to hear someone shouting in his ear to get him up, but he could only hear the whispered but firm words whirling in his heart.

Mr. Dazai, you have to live well and see the world for me.

He closed his eyes, covered the light with his arms, and screamed in his bones and blood.

Please, if this is a dream, let me wake up from this nightmare.
