Even Dazai can't think of it

People in the world say that time blurs memory, but maybe the memory of that day was too vivid and tragic, but it became clear in the day after day of memories and misses.

At this moment, the time seems to be infinitely elongated, even the air seems to stop flowing, only the palm of the hand is still continuously transmitting heat.The black-haired young man stared at the girl in his arms, and showed the same smile as usual: "Good afternoon, Saki, it's been a long time."

Hatsusaki tilted her head slightly, Osamu Dazai put down his hand obediently, the temperature above her head disappeared, the inexplicable restlessness in the girl's heart finally eased a little, which made her heave a sigh of relief.

She stepped back two steps to the side, looked at Akutagawa, and responded: "Long time no see——Although I want to say this, it seems that it's not suitable to say hello now. It's really a shame to bump into Akutagawa Ryunosuke in this kind of place." ..."

Osamu Dazai nodded seriously: "It is indeed a very bad situation. After all, Akutagawa's hatred for you is extraordinary."

Hatsusaki: "..."

Hatsusaki looked at the culprit in shock, and she asked in disbelief: "Who do you think caused this situation now?!"

"Huh?" Osamu Dazai tilted his head very innocently, and he made a voice that seemed confused, "I don't know."

Hatsusaki: "..."

Atsushi Nakajima on the side was very worried: "Akutagawa is not a kind person, is Miss Saki also being targeted by the mafia?!"

"...No, Akutagawa's this is purely personal hatred." Hatsusaki glared at Osamu Dazai with a bulging face. Before she could find time to ask what Osamu Dazai said to Ryunosuke Akutagawa, the mimic happened ahead of time, and she Also returned to the original timeline.

It made it very strange for her to ask this question again now, she panicked without asking, and could only stare at Osamu Dazai to vent her anger.

And Osamu Dazai seemed a little happy, he turned his head to look at the two fighting on the other side, Oda Sakunosuke held the gun, and Akutagawa Ryunosuke stood in place to adjust his breath because he had exhausted a lot of energy.

His gaze passed through the red-haired man, paused briefly on Hatsusaki, and then looked straight at Osamu Dazai: "Mr. Dazai...!"

"Ah, ah," Dazai Osamu sighed as if he felt it was troublesome, he glanced sideways at Hatsusaki, as if he was confirming something, and then walked towards Akutagawa with his hands in his pockets, and said in a very brisk tone, "It's really troublesome."

Nakajima Atsushi glanced at Akutagawa Ryunosuke very vigilantly, and carefully stood in front of Hatsusaki: "I-I always feel more terrifying than when I was in the alley before, what kind of personal hatred... ahhhhh That, that! If you feel offended, please ignore what I just said!"

"Huh? It's okay," Hatsusaki comforted, but she was also confused about this question, "I don't know how I offended him, it's been like this since the first time we met."

No matter what kind of meaning the first meeting is, there is no such thing as a disagreement. When you see it, you fight. When you meet, you just meet.

"It's too much," Atsushi Nakajima frowned, and he condemned in a serious tone, "You actually did such a thing, shooting ordinary citizens or something...!"

At the beginning, who had nothing to do with ordinary citizens at all, Saki nodded in agreement: "That's right! And that ability is always elusive, and often makes surprise attacks!"

Atsushi Nakajima, who was deeply affected by it, nodded in agreement: "That's right!"

After having a like-minded person to complain about, Hatsusaki became more and more angry: "Obviously I didn't—eh?"

The girl hugged into a warm embrace, she was dazed, but the red-haired man just hugged her quietly, his fingers that had never trembled in the face of so many enemies seemed to have lost their strength, and the fingers were barely noticeable when pressed against the girl's head Trembling slightly, he seemed to have a lot to say, but he couldn't say a word.

Hatsaki: "...Odasaku?"

"..." Oda Sakunosuke was silent for a while, then he closed his eyes lightly, "...you are fine."

Hatsusaki didn't seem to have recovered, she cautiously probed: "...hug, sorry...?"

—she didn't seem to realize it at all.

Osamu Dazai glanced over Hatsusaki's clothes, and then raised his fingers cheerfully: "We were just discussing where to eat later, since we met, why not go together, and we can stop by for a drink later... Except Dun."

Hatsaki: "Now? But now I..."

Osamu Dazai interrupted her, pushing them forward from behind: "You have to eat dinner on time, right Odasaku? Okay, okay, let's go, I'm hungry."

Hatsusaki struggled a little bit, then was diverted by Osamu Dazai's few words, and forgot the original purpose, just like meeting Dazai by chance in the street before and being dragged to drink in Lupin, but ignoring the black-haired young man behind him Darkened eyes.

——She didn't realize at all that this was the first time they met after four years.

Osamu Dazai stared at the girl's back, and the scene in front of him gradually overlapped with the playful memories in his memory: "...Even if it is a god, it is too unfair."

The girl seemed to be aware of it, she turned her head against the light and waved: "Hurry up! Didn't you say you were hungry?"

"..." Osamu Dazai paused, and then stretched his waist with great effort, "It's because I'm hungry so I don't have the strength—ehhh?! Are you walking so fast!"

For dinner, after referring to Nakajima Atsushi's ochazuke, Odasaku's curry and Dazai Osamu's crab hot pot, the four of them sat in the ramen shop.

This restaurant made Hatsusaki feel a little familiar, she was thinking about when she came here before, and heard Osamu Dazai say: "I didn't expect this store to be open, this is the first time Saki invited me to dinner! "

Hatsaki: "So it's this restaurant... Wait, who invited you to dinner!" Osamu Dazai still owes her two meals!

Osamu Dazai seemed to know what she was thinking, and said very seriously: "I have already paid it back."

Hatsusaki: "???" She's not here!Who gave it back to you!

Dazai Osamu: "It's really changed, every month I remember going to the mountain to Huang-huh?"

Hatsusaki covered Osamu Dazai's mouth with lightning speed, she was in pain and shame: "Please shut up, don't talk! Order, order!"

"Sure enough, it will be such a reaction," Dazai Osamu couldn't help laughing several times, like a child who succeeded in pranking, he held his chin, and the ending sound brought some unexplained lingering, "Ah Saki."

Hatsusaki: "..."

Hatsusaki: "...You really still like to tease people, and is that considered to be returned to me?!"

"Indeed," Dazai Osamu agreed abnormally, "Then recalculate from now on! But just after entering the water, it seems that everything has been washed away..."

"Ah, I found it." He took out a rusty coin from the small pocket inside the windbreaker, held Hatsusaki's hand, and slowly put the coin in her palm: "...this is today share."

"I looked at the memo. The last time I paid back was 740 yen, which is still 730 and five yen short. From this point of view, paying off the arrears is just around the corner!" The system was skilled in accounting, and then he noticed that Hatsusaki's expression was a bit wrong, " What's wrong, Saki."

Hatsusaki: "..."

Hatsusaki: "Y-nothing."

...That is, how did Osamu Dazai manage to put a coin like an engagement ring in her palm? !The little deer in her heart was jumping so hard that it couldn't be described as alive and kicking, it was only a little short of killing herself on the spot!

"...I remembered that you had the same expression when you went to the fireworks festival with Zhongyuan Zhongye before," said the system that has read all the love novels in the world maturely and steadily, "According to the general routine, Huaxin will be in a crematorium, and the ending of Sandwich" Ordinary people can't get out, Saki, give up."

Hatsusaki: "..."

Hatsusaki: "..."

"What weird things have you been thinking about?! Didn't I tell you to read less novels like this?" Hatsusaki poked at him through gritted teeth, "And where did you get the conclusion that I'm interested in sandwiches? of!"

The system felt aggrieved: "From the eighteen sandwich links you saved."

Hatsusaki: "...Don't get me wrong, it's just that I have a friend who said she wanted to read it, so I saved a few."

System: "There is another [-]-word article written by you."

Hatsusaki: "..."

Hatsusaki: "..."

The girl looked away calmly, holding the chopsticks in her hand, without looking sideways: "Don't eat or sleep, don't talk, well, you are not allowed to talk after I have eaten!"

The system snorted coldly.

Perhaps it was because of the four-year gap that the meal was supposed to be over soon, but it was abruptly dragged on for a long time by chatting.

Oda Sakunosuke suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Saki, are you free recently?"

"Huh?" Hatsusaki tilted her head in confusion, "I've been free recently, what's the matter?"

Oda Sakunosuke: "Are you going to see the children?...They miss you too."

Hatsusaki's disappearance was too sudden and without a trace. Although everyone acquiesced in the term "death", when facing children, the adults tacitly used the reason of disappearance.

It's disappearance, not death.He has always used this reason to convince the children in the past, and he has said so much that even he himself believes that maybe one day there will be a miracle, and then they can meet again.

...It turns out that there are really miracles in this world.

Hatsusaki came to a sudden: "Children... are they all grown up now? It was the right decision to hand over the card to you in advance at that time! How are the children now? Are the living expenses still enough?"

"Well, that's enough, everyone has already started school," Oda Sakunosuke paused slightly, "Xingsuke has graduated from junior high school and entered the first year of high school."

Hatsusaki: "That's great...Huh?!"

The living expenses she gave are definitely not enough to pay the school fees for so many children!Even adding the remuneration of Oda Sakunosuke's work in the detective agency is impossible, and the various identity issues of the children who lost their parents in the Dragon Head War are also difficult to solve.

Hatsusaki was confused, and instinctively looked at Osamu Dazai, and Osamu Dazai looked at her helplessly: "It's Chuya... After telling him that this is your wish, he settled the matter without saying a word." .”

"...Chuya...ah." Hatsusaki looked at the ceiling, "...I always feel that he will be very angry this time."

After all, it's all her fault for being too careless!

Atsushi Nakajima, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly remembered something: "Speaking of which, it's getting so late, it would be dangerous if you don't go home, where are Saki and Azaki's house? It's better to send you home together... …Eh?"

He stared blankly at the girl whose body suddenly froze, and asked cautiously: "Yes, did I say something wrong?"

"...You didn't say anything wrong." Hatsusaki turned her head stiffly, her neck seemed to make a clicking sound like a machine in disrepair, "What time is it?"

"Huh? Judging by the light outside, it must be at least nine o'clock, Odasaku?" Osamu Dazai asked.

Oda Sakunosuke looked at the time and nodded: "It's ten o'clock, it's been quite a while."

Hatsusaki: "..."

Hatsusaki: "..."

System: "Are we going to book a hotel before we eat...?"

Hatsusaki supported her forehead, and said with difficulty: "No, it's okay, there were still vacancies at this time before...!"

Atsushi Nakajima suddenly realized something: "Ehhhh?! Could it be that Saki was looking for a hotel at that time!?"

Osamu Dazai seemed to suddenly realize: "Oh! Then it would be bad. I saw a lot of tour groups when I was rafting in the river today...I'm afraid there are no vacancies now."

Hatsusaki: "..."

"It's very troublesome if you don't have a place to live," Dazai Osamu suggested with a smile, "otherwise you can borrow in the dormitory of the detective agency tonight! My room can be vacant—Ah, if you want to live in my house sure?"

Hatsusaki: "..."

This person did it on purpose! ?
