Great writers and philosophers

"I'm actually a person who gives up easily."

This sentence came from a man who faced the biggest power in Yokohama alone in order to let an unrelated person do what he wanted to do without any worries. To be honest, it was not very convincing.

The difficulty of this matter cannot be summed up by more than a little cleverness or a little force.

If I want to give an example, it is probably not to lose the mind of Osamu Dazai and the strength not to lose to Chuya of the Central Plains, and finally to have the courage and determination to be fearless, especially the perseverance to fight for a long time... All these factors can be combined together. It is possible to get this done without a hitch.

But then again, even if a man could do such a thing, why would he do it?

It's not a bloody plot like a life-and-death relationship.

As the beneficiary, Oda Sakunosuke was very puzzled while being grateful, but in the face of his own gratitude, the other party said lightly after a short silence, saying that his hard work these days, as well as his previous All preparations are written off.

Oda Sakunosuke couldn't understand it, but his temperament would not let him delve into it, he just kept it in his heart, looking forward to the day when he might be able to repay such a favor in the future.

As for now, he wants to find a house by the sea immediately. If it can accommodate the children, it’s better to be closer to the curry shop. Friends get together at home...

Although separated by a vast ocean, the sky in Yokohama and the sky in Naples are the same blue. Uchiha Itachi still remembers that when he was a child, the sky in Konoha was also so blue. Nanaya Hotaru, who was sitting beside him, said that the sky was so blue. close to human.

He asked why, but the girl couldn't tell, and said embarrassingly that this was not her original description, but she had seen it before, and she didn't know why she said it, but now she suddenly remembered it.

Itachi Uchiha looked up at the blue sky, thinking that his mood at the moment might be very close to that of Hotaru Nanaya at that time.

After the official meeting with Oda Sakunosuke, the man who had been a killer, but in fact he was pretty good, said that he had a sense of familiarity with him.

The other party may not have delved into it, but just said it casually, but Uchiha Itachi can understand where the other party's sense of familiarity comes from.

Both ninja and assassin are shady professions, and their requirements are mostly similar. It is not surprising that two people who have done well in the shady fields stand face to face, and they will feel familiar.

Uchiha Itachi sat on the railing of the log corridor, remembering the words he said to Oda Sakunosuke by accident.

Helping Oda Sakunosuke get out of the port mafia quagmire is really troublesome, more troublesome than expected. The mafia leader named Mori Ogai, who has the same name and surname as another literary giant, is very difficult to deal with. He is the first such leader. See you once.

If it was a task evaluation, he had classified this matter as an unnecessary category from the very beginning.

The same is true.

He didn't explain too much to Qiyeying in this matter, and let Qiyeying persuade the other party to take the initiative to choose.

It's meaningless if you don't do it out of your own will.

Qiye Ying also thought so, so she didn't directly say that they could help after the other party confessed her dream.

If you ask for help, you will definitely not stand idly by, but before that, you must first start working hard to fight for it.

It took him a lot of time and effort to reverse her thoughts, but now he was the first one to break it.

The kind of practice that sees someone suffering and can't wait to reach out, even regardless of the other person's wishes, is not something that Qiye-san would do... Although it is not good to say this, but if it is the original Qiye-san She had restrained herself if she didn't stand by and sneer.

To sum it up in what she once said, it is "the gods do not save the ghosts who seek death".

And the reason why she became like that in the future, making everyone trust and yearn for her flawless beauty, was all because of him.

It was he who stubbornly became a death-seeking ghost, causing Qiye-sang to become a light without any haze or blemish, burning himself to illuminate others.

History will remember that there was once a very selfless and great person, but she should not have been, nor would she want to be.

He hoped to get back what she had sacrificed, and finally managed to do so with the help of time, but now he couldn't help but make an exception.

Uchiha Itachi thought more than once, if luck and misfortune are relative, then the encounter between them is his luck or her misfortune.

That's right, Nanaya Hotaru has emphasized countless times that he helped her save her. If it weren't for Uchiha Itachi who came out and sat beside her to watch flowers with her at that time, there would be no Nanaya Hotaru afterwards.

But is this really the case?

This description is very pleasant, and at first glance it is okay, but if you think about it calmly, is it really the case?

At that time, he was just on a whim, took a shortcut and saw a classmate from Ninja School on the way home from the training ground. He was a withdrawn child. The performance is also not impressive-to be honest, it is a person who has seen it once and never has to look again.

The child sat on the grass with his legs crossed, shrunk himself into a ball, his already thin body looked even smaller, almost as big as Sasuke.The poor-looking child was talking to an orange flower. She was very focused and serious, as if the flower could really understand her words and respond to her.

He stopped involuntarily, and heard the child talking about his life with the flower. Some of the ideas and viewpoints revealed in the words were very novel and interesting, but it was a pity that he could only tell the flower.

It's just going out in spare time like doing good deeds every day.

Anyone can do it.

If it wasn't him who went out at that time but another child, he would definitely be able to get in touch with Qiye Sang.

If he hadn't appeared there at that time, a few years later, she wouldn't have to pay so much for the connection between them. At most, she would lament that such a terrible thing happened in the village and write it into the book as material. In the middle of the day, An An steadily moved towards the goal of a great writer.

No matter how many nice things she said, he would never forget that without his own existence, this person would have a better life.

……

Perhaps this is why he gave up at the end of the door after solving the matter of Oda Sakunosuke, and did not inform her of the news.

It has been said that people are attracted to people who have qualities different from their own.

Maybe it is.

Just the opposite of what others think.

He is the one who gives up easily, but Qiye-san who seems to have no willpower is the one who perseveres.

Because I have been giving up all the time, I finally have no way to retreat and fall into a place that is darker than hell. If there is no light that can illuminate even hell, then hell will always be hell.

……

This kind of pessimistic thought seems to match the unkind sky. The few gardenias transplanted in the corner have already bloomed, and the fragrance is so strong that you can grab a handful.

I don't know how long the flowering period of gardenia is, but she should come back before the flowers fall.

"The scenery is nice, but it's quite expensive, right? Do you have enough money for this location, Odasaku?" Osamu Dazai looked left and right with great interest, as if he couldn't get enough of it.

"Mr. Uchiha established a foundation in the name of Mr. Polaris, and I got enough loans from it."

Dazai Osamu made a surprised tone, and his exposed eyes widened, "This is already a favor that can't be repaid without a literary award? Seriously, do you think Mr. Polaris will have that kind of favor?" A supernatural ability to see other people's literary talent? I've suspected this for a long time."

Oda Sakunosuke's tone was still unhurried and steady, "Probably not, if she has this kind of supernatural ability, she should use this as a reason to persuade me the first time."

Osamu Dazai agreed deeply, "That's true... But Mr. Uchiha has been eyeing a person in the slum recently."

A gust of sea breeze blew by.

Oda Sakunosuke looked at the sea, thought for a while, and said, "That person must be accumulating chips."

"Huh?" Osamu Dazai turned his head puzzled, "What do you say?"

"I hope Mr. Polaris will come back soon, so I have done a lot of things and prepared a lot of reasons. People who are abroad can come back immediately with just one phone call."

"...But he didn't call?"

"No."

"Hmm... What an awkward person, but as the husband of a writer, maybe this is just right."

"I think... If you want the other party to come back, you should tell the other party frankly. That's the right way."

"Hahahaha, would that be what you said? Odasaku."

"Probably. But he did give me Mr. Polaris' phone number."

Osamu Dazai raised his face and narrowed his eyes with a smile, "Do you want you to contact Mr. Polaris? Well, speaking of which, Mr. Polaris is going to see a long-lost reunited friend, not to meet his first love, right?"

"I'm also considering whether to contact Mr. Polaris."

The affairs of friends are more important than the gossip of literary giants.

Osamu Dazai's attention was immediately diverted, "So?"

"It's better not to. According to my work experience, I'm not very good at getting involved in this kind of thing. It's not good if it backfires."

Osamu Dazai remembered that when Oda Sakunosuke was still a low-level member of the port mafia, he was in charge of mediating a high-level derailment incident, and he couldn't help but nodded, "It makes sense, I've helped so much, it's better not to avenge my kindness - Ango contacted me yesterday. "

When the name was mentioned, there were waves of sea breeze all around.

Ango Sakaguchi, an undercover agent of the Supernatural Secret Service who was exposed because of Uchiha Itachi's actions, and their friend.

Oda Sakunosuke spoke in a calm tone, "Dazai, don't be angry with him."

"No, I'm not angry," the young man's voice was very soft, not the kind of lack of confidence, but just light, as light as a gust of sea breeze, "I just confirmed it again."

The boy in the black windbreaker that is standard for the Mafia looked at the sea like a friend, and longing and longing flashed in his kite-colored eyes.

It was the longing and desire to end life.

"Things you don't want to lose will leave you one day. From the moment you have it, the countdown to loss begins. Mr. Polaris said to me that day that there is such a poem-"You said/You don't love Planting flowers / because you are afraid of seeing the flowers fall one by one / so / in order to avoid the end of all / you reject all the beginnings".At that time, I asked Mr. Polaris, was she not afraid of losing? "

Too young for life, too young to even legally drink alcohol, looking out to the end of the sea.

"'You must have tasted loss, but now that you're here in the world, isn't the answer obvious?' she said, sly and irresponsible."

"That's it." Oda Sakunosuke echoed flatly.

"In the end, I was the only one left in the organization."

"If you don't want to do it, try quitting."

"Impossible. I'm in a different situation than you, Odasaku."

The sea breeze blows one after another. Sometimes their windbreakers are blown up by the wind, and sometimes they reveal a fluttering and light shape. Looking from a distance, they look like two flags in the wind.
