Be Dazai's mother

"Sorry, I don't quite agree with this kind of 'natural' thing." I looked at Mr. Sato, smiled at him apologetically, and said, "Compared to following this kind of natural thing, I really hope that I Being able to be watched as a person, as "Sachiko"."

"Even if it doesn't suit me that well, at least I hope that I can be torn off so many labels, not as someone who is someone, who is about to be someone, but just standing in front of others as "Sachiko"." I smiled. Said.

Mr. Sato opened his mouth and said softly: "Sorry, I was rude."

Hearing what he said, I shook my hand in a panic and said, "No, I should be the one who said I was rude."

Probably because he felt guilty for disturbing us, and the mother and son continued to stay here, Mr. Sato would probably be even more embarrassed. Mrs. Nana took A Gang and left here.

Mr. Sato breathed a sigh of relief when Mrs. Nana and A Gang had completely disappeared.

"Although I did something wrong, Miss Sachiko, you are too disrespectful." Mr. Sato said with a wry smile, "Just now I was so embarrassed that I wanted to find a place to bury myself."

"I'm really sorry." I said awkwardly, "Unconsciously..."

"No, no, I didn't mean to blame you." Mr. Sato shook his hand and said, "It's just a little embarrassing, but you don't have to mind too much."

What he said confuses me even more.

Perhaps because he sensed my confusion, just as he was trying to smooth things over for what Gang said just now, Mr. Sato smoothed things out for me again, saying: "People always have different ideas, and I take it for granted. "

No, thinking like his is actually correct in the sense of common sense, but I can't accept that kind of "correctness".

In addition, I usually give people the impression of being honest and gentle, probably Mr. Sato never thought that I would have such a rebellious side.

But to be honest, my temper has not been very good since a long time ago, and being said to be gentle is only a selective gentleness occasionally shown.

After all, I am not a "gentle machine", but an ordinary person with joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys. It is normal to be angry, selfish and indifferent.

Of course, this kind of thing can't be said directly to Mr. Sato.And the most important thing now is the rudeness to Mr. Sato. I kept apologizing and said, "No matter what, I was really rude."

I scratched my cheek a little embarrassedly and said, "It's really embarrassing to say that all of a sudden."

"Haha." Mr. Sato laughed a few times and said, "I was really scared. Oh, how should I put it..." He touched my chin and said, "Miss Sachiko, you are smarter than I imagined. It's just a lot."

He looked at me helplessly and said, "It may be strange to say that, but I don't know why I always have the feeling that you are innocent from the first time I saw you."

"Actually, I also find it very strange." He put his finger on his chin and said distressedly, "It's obvious that I'm not facing a carefree little girl of seventeen or eight years old, why do I feel this way?"

"Now that I think about it, maybe it's your pure and stubborn side? Although it's completely opposite to my concept, it's pretty good. Looking at you always makes people feel soft." Mr. Sato said with a smile.

My mood is a little delicate, thinking that Mr. Sato is too kind, and he is still praising me.Although I don't agree with his point of view, and I think he has done something wrong, but if it were me who was embarrassed by much younger children and suitors like him, let alone praise the other party, I didn't do it on the spot. Turning around and leaving is the result of suppressing embarrassment.Especially in a country like Neon that pays attention to superficial etiquette, many people will criticize what I just did if it is said.

"You praise me too much." I said nervously: "I'm really sorry, I should be grateful that someone as good as you can fall in love with me."

"When it comes to compliments, it's obviously Ms. Sachiko that you are better at complimenting people." Mr. Sato joked: "You said it like this, I thought I became the emperor and fell in love with a common girl."

The two of us looked at each other, and suddenly laughed together for some reason.

Smiling and laughing, Mr. Sato said regretfully: "It seems that our views are indeed different, and we can't be together. It's really a pity."

I sighed and said, "Let's restore the relationship between the clerk and the customer."

Mr. Sato nodded and said: "If the inquiries from the people in the store bother you, you can just tell them that the problem is on my side. I won't complain to the store manager because of this, so don't worry. ’” he said, blinking mischievously.

To be honest, when Sato-san, who is quite handsome in person, made me dokidoki unbelievably.

I laughed a little embarrassedly.

Mr. Sato is indeed a gentle and gentlemanly person.Although I don't agree with his concept, I have to admit it.

Or in the eyes of the world, I am the immature and weak one.Not only is he immature, but he also loses face so impolitely when talking to others.Obviously, as an adult, he should be more able to ease the atmosphere, yes, just like Mr. Sato.

I don't know why, but I felt a little strange in my heart: So this is a human being.

"But who was that person who called your name just now?" Mr. Sato said, looking behind us suspiciously, and said, "I just stared at this side."

"Ahem." I coughed a few times in embarrassment, and said, "That's my son Azhi. As for the people around him... well, are they his colleagues and... acquaintances?" It's just that the occupation is a mafia The party and the armed detective group.

Mr. Sato said in surprise: "Is it your son? Are they this big? I thought it would be smaller."

After all, I never took Azhi to the restaurant, and the other clerks only knew that I had a son who was not related by blood, but they didn't know how old this son was.I guess they probably thought that Aji was a few years older than Mr. Sato's daughter Xiaoye.

But Aji has actually grown up to the age where he can run around with an assault wooden warehouse-this statement seems a bit strange, so let's replace it with the age who has grown up to be able to communicate with his colleagues in the Mafia and hostile forces. Let's keep track of how old moms are dating.

I smiled helplessly and said: "The child is probably worried about me, and I made you laugh."

Mr. Sato spread his hands and said: "I don't know if you see me or not, but at least I can see that the child gave you a lot of courage and strength."

He looked at me with those gentle eyes, and continued: "I have noticed that you originally wanted to say 'right', but after your son said a word, the sad smile on your face disappeared. Disappeared, leaving only a very firm feeling."

"..." I responded, and said softly: "He has always given me courage and strength, so that I can move forward more bravely." After holding that hand, I was cowardly and indecisive. Only then can I become stronger and braver, because of the warmth of my palms, I can stumble all the way here.

"You have a good son." Mr. Sato said with a smile.

I blinked, looked at Mr. Sato, showed a happy smile, and said, "Of course!"

—He is my most important and best child.

After chatting with Mr. Sato for a while, we said goodbye. After confirming that we are not suitable for each other, there is no need to continue the unnecessary greetings. We just need to pretend that nothing happened today and go back to the previous positions of shop assistants and customers. up.

Looking at the back of Mr. Sato leaving, I sighed, feeling a little bit full of emotion in my heart.But anyway, this matter is over for the time being, and I have another matter to deal with now.

I turned around, looked at the large group of people behind me, folded my hands on my chest and said, "Okay, can you explain now? Why are you here?"

"..."

There was a sudden silence all around.

Everyone looked left and right, but they didn't look at me. They all took a step back, except Azhi who kept coughing dryly.

"Wait—" Azhi, who didn't react for a while, looked at the group of traitors, looked at them with heartbroken eyes, and accused them of abandoning him collectively.

Mori Ogai said that there was nothing he could do to help, Nakahara Chuya and Yosano Akiko both gloated, Oda Sakunosuke gave him a cheering look, Edogawa Ranpo didn't care, Fukuzawa Yukichi was the most upright, give Aji a The eyes that let him have a good talk with me.

I smiled and stepped forward: "Ah Zhi? Can you explain it?"

A Zhi looked at me with a guilty conscience, and said, "If I say it's just a coincidence, would you believe me?" He seemed to have taken a look at the kid's eloquence, and he tried to fool him by pretending to be pitiful. pass.

I raised my eyebrows and said, "Huh? If you insist on saying that, then I will believe you too, but are you sure you want to say that?"

"Okay, okay." Azhi raised his hands in surrender, and said, "I admit that I followed you here, I was wrong."

"Is it only tracking?" I asked with a smile, "The painting called "Corpse" was actually drawn by you, right? You even hung it there on purpose. Did you know that Mr. Sato was going to confess to me a few days ago?"

Aji scratched his head and said, "You should have never shown that painting to Sachiko."

I laughed and said, "How many years do you think I've been looking at your paintings?"

Aji said: "Okay, I admit it. I painted that painting. As for Mr. Sato's matter... I did secretly arrange for someone to report on your situation every day, and I also investigated everyone in your workplace. .”

I had a premonition about this, after all, he is now a mafia, he would be worried about my safety, it is normal to send someone to watch over my safety like Sawada Iemitsu sent someone to watch Mrs. Nana.

Speaking of Mrs. Nana...

"Did you send the ticket in Mrs. Nana's hand?" I asked with raised eyebrows.

Aji felt guilty and didn't look at me.

I raised my eyebrows and said, "It seems that we still need to have a good talk, Ah Zhi."

Aji broke out in a cold sweat.
