After I retired, I became a Butei clerk

"I am back."

After returning home late at night to get medicine and necessities, Higurashi Kagome immediately rushed back to the place where she currently lives through the Well of Bone Eaters. The high-intensity running made her a little tired and her spirit was not very good, but she noticed when she entered the door in a daze. Seeing the harmonious atmosphere between Eri Shiratori and Osamu Dazai, especially when the two people in the room looked at her together after she spoke, it made her feel that she should not be here at that moment.

Hey, what kind of illusion is this?

Kagome Higurashi shook her head, shaking off the strange feeling in her heart, and then entered the room and handed the medicine and other items to Eri Shiratori, "This is the medicine and bandages I got from home, and the clothes prepared by my family. Hope that helps a little.”

"Thank you very much, Miss Higurashi," Dazai Osamu smiled and spoke softly, "Miss must be very tired going back and forth, please rest early."

"Oh, that's fine." Higurashi Kagome found that Osamu Dazai seemed to want Shiratori Eri to stay here, and looked at Shiratori Eri a little uncomfortably, and stood up after seeing her silently nodding to him. Go, "I won't delay your dressing change."

"Good night." Shiratori Eri waved to Higurashi Kagome's back, and then looked at Osamu Dazai who was trying to sneak up by himself when she was saying goodbye.

"Don't move around, the wound will open."

Osamu Dazai, who was trying to get up, was stopped by Eri Shiratori, who laughed, "Oh, Eri-chan, I always have to get up and change the bandages."

"Ah, I know."

Eri Shiratori used her own strength to help Osamu Dazai up before speaking slowly, "But it will be better if I come to help you."

Speaking of this, Eri Shiratori tore off the medical bandages, took out medical alcohol and other medicines, and looked puzzled at Osamu Dazai who was sitting up and smiling, "You have to take off your clothes."

"Hey, people will be shy like this, why don't Eri-chan let me do it by myself."

Osamu Dazai covered his face with his hands, stared at the calm-looking Shiratori Eri through his fingers, and spoke as if very embarrassed.

"How to deal with the back injury alone?" Seeing Osamu Dazai's tendency to dodge, Shiratori Eri reached out and pressed his shoulder, trying to suppress him, lest he dodge left and right like a child and refuse to take medicine.But Osamu Dazai struggled more violently, and was pulled hard by the impatient Shiratori Eri, and finally succeeded in tearing Osamu Dazai's clothes.

When the tearing sound sounded, Shiratori Eri and Dazai Osamu's bodies froze.

"The clothes are of poor quality."

Shiratori Eri, who felt that she hadn't exerted enough effort, smirked, then pretended not to care, skipped over the question, and looked away from Dazai Osamu's white shoulders, blushing slightly, "But I can give you medicine, please don't Move around, I won't look around."

"That's not the problem." As if the broken clothes had opened up Osamu Dazai's miraculous mechanism, he explained with a delicate expression, turned his back to Shiratori Eri, took off his shirt, and untied the remaining bandage on his back, "I will Be quiet."

"Oh, then..."

Before the good words came out of his mouth, Shiratori Eri fell silent when he saw the wound on Osamu Dazai's back, because what he could see in front of him was not only the scratches of him being scratched by monsters before, but also countless scars on his back. Holes, knife wounds, stab wounds, falls, and other old scars are densely packed on his back, destroying the beauty of the originally smooth and powerful back.

There are scars on the back that are visible to the naked eye, so is the rest of the bandaged place?What had this man been through to suffer such a serious injury?

Speaking of which, when she helped him with a simple bandage before, this man seemed to have cried out for pain, but when he came back and even helped her find the ghost, his expression was always calm, and she didn't see any flaws, so did he speak verbally? Shout out the pain, actually endured the habit?

Eri Shiratori lowered her eyes, dabbed alcohol on the scars on Osamu Dazai's back to clean him up, and Osamu Dazai, who had his back turned to her, inhaled slightly, and complained, "Eri-chan, I really hate that monster, it scratched It hurts me so much, but I can't let me die with one blow."

"Does it hurt?"

"It's actually not that painful."

When Eri Shiratori asked softly, Osamu Dazai replied very easily, "I just want Eri-chan to chat with me."

"Ah."

How could it be so simple?

Now Osamu Dazai's back injury was obviously blackened by the demon power, but he didn't tell the truth when he asked him. She was also injured by a monster before, but she knew how painful it is for the demon power to erode the human body.

To be honest, a little frustrating.

Shiratori Eri's eyes dimmed. Although this man knew her very shortly, he was very warm to her, and even made her feel dependent.For Shiratori Eri, who has just left the original nightmare of Honmaru and the assassination team, has not communicated with people normally for a long time, and feels completely gentle and kind, from the beginning of the meeting, Osamu Dazai only cares about her faintly. Addictive drug.Medicine, so even if she deceived herself to treat him normally, she couldn't help but want to treat him better.

But now he concealed his feelings and answered himself, he really felt like he was being deceived, as if he seemed to care about him, but in fact he didn't at all. Sure enough, he still shouldn't have expectations?Even if he said that he and he will be lovers in the future, that's not what he can imagine now, maybe it's false.

It's also possible that he just wants the future Shiratori Eri, anyway, it has nothing to do with her.

Osamu Dazai, who was waiting for Shiratori Eri to comfort him, found that Shiratori Eri hadn't spoken for a long time. He felt a little doubtful in his heart, and looked back, only to be shocked by himself. Why did Eri-chan look so sad?

"Eri-chan?"

Osamu Dazai cautiously yelled in Shiratori Eri, who was distracted, but was surprised to find that she unconsciously avoided his sight, then turned him to see her and straightened his body, with a calm voice, "Don't move around, the wound is open!" opened."

Oops, I said the wrong thing, and being treated like this, Osamu Dazai immediately became sensitive to what Shiratori Eri was thinking, and he forgot that what she has experienced at this time has not been tempered by Jono Kunihiko for too long Her mental state is not necessarily better than that period after the war, and I just touched her autistic point.

How could I have forgotten that during the time in Yuanmaru, the shadow cast on her was probably the most serious during this time. Osamu Dazai, who sensed the key point, immediately started to remedy it, even his tone was a little weak.

"hiss-----"

Eri Shiratori realized that she was wiping a deep wound with alcohol, Osamu Dazai in front of her couldn't help but let out a cry of pain, and even flinched a bit, clenched his hands so that even the veins appeared faintly, and then moved towards her She fell over for a while, so she had to catch him before asking anxiously, "Are you okay?"

"No, it's just too painful to hold back. I originally said not to cause trouble to Eri-chan, but I still didn't do it." Because he fell down and was caught, Osamu Dazai happened to be able to see Shiratori from the side of his head Knowing the importance of opportunities, he didn't waste this time at all, and quickly started from Shiratori Eri's most acceptable explanation.

"I want Eri-chan to take care of the injury early and rest. If I show pain, Eri-chan will do things very slowly and carefully, so you won't be able to rest well today."

Dazai Osamu's aggrieved appearance made Shiratori Eri successfully dissipate the unknown discomfort in his heart, and turned to look at Dazai Osamu with shining eyes waiting to praise him a little moved and speechless.Enduring the pain in order to allow myself to rest early, this person actually thought of this, and it sounds like what he did. After all, he has proved with his strength that he is more sensitive and coquettish than a real female high school student like himself. people.

Well, the previous self was sad, but still a little happy, this person really cared about himself.Shiratori Eri pursed her lips, trying not to let her emotions leak out, so as not to be noticed by Osamu Dazai in front of her, but her tone softened involuntarily, "It's okay, I should be fine tomorrow anyway, don't rush to leave."

Speaking of this, Shiratori Eri pushed Dazai Osamu who was half dependent on her body and couldn't get up, "Dazai-san still needs to get the injury done as soon as possible so that it won't hurt so much, and we can't waste time."

"Okay," Dazai Osamu sat up slowly, as if speaking casually, "but I don't want Eri-chan to leave after treating the wound, what should I do?"

"Don't worry, I will stay here today, you may have a fever for a long time tonight, ah, you have to drink the antipyretics later."

Eri Shiratori suddenly remembered this incident, tried her best to treat Osamu Dazai's injury gently and quickly, and made the floor in the room next to him after letting him drink medicine to sleep, and smiled softly before closing the door After a while, "I will always stay here, so don't worry."

What responded to her was Dazai Osamu's closed eyes and a low hello.
