Be Dazai's mother

The man who looked exactly like Azhi looked at me with strange eyes and asked doubtfully, "Who are you?"

To be honest, even when I realized that the person in front of me was not my Azhi, my heart still hurt a little, and I couldn't help showing a sad expression on my face.

The man with glasses and braids who was standing next to this man glanced at me, then looked at him with a headache, and said, "Dazai? Did you go to provoke innocent women again?"

Dazai—let’s call him that for now, Dazai pretended to be pitiful with a face of accusation, and said, “Kunikida-kun, do I look like that kind of person in your eyes?”

Kunikida-kun looked at Dazai speechlessly, and said: "You don't look like that, you are that kind of person. Otherwise, who went to hook up with women all day long, so that I always received complaint calls? And the armed forces a few days ago It's really a headache for the detective agency to receive a bomb from a woman you hooked up with before."

Saying this, Kunikida-kun rubbed his head frantically, and said, "Because of you, my daily workload is increasing. Give me a good reflection on myself!"

Dazai gave a dry cough with guilt, and then babbled in a very righteous way: "Oh, am I helping you develop the ability to adapt to changes? Facing more emergencies can help you expand your thinking and become more sensitive. You You should be thanking me a lot.”

Faced with this obviously nonsense, Kunikida-kun hesitated, and he asked slightly suspiciously: "...Really?"

"Really, really!" Dazai couldn't help nodding, and urged: "Take a notebook and write it down."

Kunikida-kun took out his notebook and pen to record, but just as he finished writing a few words, Dazai's confident voice sounded next to him: "I lied to you."

With a sound of "click", Kunikida-kun was so angry that he broke the pen in his hand, and he grabbed Dazai's collar and shook it in anger: "You waste a device for bandages!!"

Not only did Dazai feel no pain in his conscience, he even let out a "slightly slightly slightly" sound desperately.

Seeing the two fighting, I couldn't help but burst out laughing, and the sound made Dazai and Kunikida-kun look at me together.Kunikida-kun realized that he was ignoring me because he was too angry. He gave a dry cough, pushed his glasses, and said to me: "Sorry, did this guy Dazai do something? If he did something to make you Please forgive me for the troublesome things, and I will definitely take care of them in the future.”

Ignoring Dazai's "Kunikida-kun, are you my father?", I subconsciously waved my hand in denial and said, "No, I'm not offended, I'm just..."

- I'm just happy.

I couldn't help softening my expression, thinking.

Although I don't know why I am here, and I don't know why I met this Dazai who is not Aji.But there is one thing I can confirm.Even if it is not Aji, he is indeed "Dazai Osamu", probably because he is a Dazai Osamu from a different world from Aji like the red-haired "Dazai Osamu" I met before.

Of course, the red-haired "Osamu Dazai" and Aji and the Dazai in front of him can be said to be completely two people, but there are some important similarities.But the Dazai and Aji in front of us are not so much "Dazai Osamu" in two completely different worlds, but more like a parallel world with different choices in the legend.

No matter what, even if it's not my Aji, I sincerely hope that "Dazai Osamu" will be happy.At this time, seeing him and Kunikida-kun getting along very naturally, with a look of light in his eyes, I knew that this Dazai was doing well-and I was happy because of it.

My subconsciously soft eyes seemed to make this Dazai feel uncomfortable, he frowned with an expression of wanting to ask a question, but before he could ask, two people suddenly walked up not far away.

"Kunikida——!"

Mr. Ranpo of this world waved his hand in this direction very childishly and shouted. There was a white-haired boy I didn't know standing beside him. The boy had a pair of very beautiful amber eyes and held a bunch of Snacks, probably for Mr. Ranpo.

Ranpo Edogawa swaggered over with a beret on his head and suddenly noticed me. He frowned, took out his glasses from his pocket and put them on, and then showed a very surprised expression.

"What's the matter?" Kunikida-kun suddenly had a bad mood in his heart, and I also had a subtle mood in my heart.

As far as I know, although Edogawa Ranpo can see through the truth of all events, of course he can see that I am not from this world and I can see that I attach great importance to "Osamu Dazai", but he is a person who hates trouble and I don't really like those twisted types, that is to say, what he's going to say next is——

Edogawa Ranpo pointed at me calmly, and said to Dazai, "Oh, Dazai, this is your mother."

"..."

At that moment, several people including me were silent.The sound of passersby passing by made our area seem as silent as space.

Leaving aside Edogawa Ranpo who calmly dropped the deep water bomb, Kunikida-kun and the white-haired boy both showed expressions like petrification, and even Dazai had a blank expression.

Time seemed to have stopped.

...

...

...

"what--?!!"

"Mom, mother?!" Kunikida-kun and the white-haired boy shouted in unison.

Kunikida-kun said incredulously, "Does that Dazai have a mother?"

Hearing this, even Dazai, who was still dazed in his eyes, couldn't help complaining about him: "How else would Kunikida-kun think I was born?"

Kunikida-kun subconsciously pondered for a while and said, "Come out of the rock."

"I'm not Sun Kong." Dazai spread his hands helplessly.

Then he looked at me and said with a smile: "But Mr. Ranpo missed something, right? She is the mother of 'Dazai Osamu' but not mine. After all, I don't remember ever seeing this young lady."

I stretched out my hand and said, "My name is Sachiko, Dazai Sachiko."

Dazai paused, and said, "Sachiko. Alright, Sachiko." For some reason, he repeated it.

"Sachiko", apparently a few syllables are very simple, but Dazai pronounced it with great solemnity, as if the name itself was a miracle.

Kunikida-kun asked doubtfully, "That means Miss Sachiko is not from this world?"

Edogawa nodded in disorder, and said, "As for how she got here, I have to ask her herself."

"Actually, I don't know myself." I said with some trouble: "I just seemed to be hit by something, and then I came here."

Kunikida-kun pondered and said: "Okay, let's not mention how you came here. But what does it mean that Dazai said that Miss Sachiko is the mother of "Dazai Osamu" but not your mother? Could it be said that even after changing the world Mother will also change?" Kunikida-kun asked with a serious expression like a researcher.

Dazai chuckled a few times and said, "Who knows? Maybe I in some world are still brothers with Kunikida-kun."

Kunikida-kun imagined this possibility for a moment, then shivered, and said in a fearful tone: "Let me go, I have already cleaned up so many messes during the time I was working with you, if Let me clean up the mess for you since I was a child, and I will definitely lose my hair because of excessive worry."

Dazai gloated and said, "Your hairline has also started to move up now."

"Who do you think did this?!" Kunikida-kun went into a runaway state again.

Seeing that these two people were about to quarrel again, or that Dazai continued to dance back and forth on the edge of Kunikida-kun's rampage, the white-haired boy smiled bitterly to smooth things over, and finally brought the topic back.

Dazai looked at me again and said, "Back to the topic, although I don't know about this aspect, I think she probably doesn't belong to this kind of situation. What do you think, Ms. Sachiko."

I nodded helplessly and said, "That's right. I have no blood relationship with my son Azhi, so I can be considered his adoptive mother."

Dazai said, "I don't have a adoptive mother in this world."

It's even very possible that the me in this world is completely dead-I thought in a trance.

Because I knew that after my death it was because of my obsession with life that I turned into a resentful spirit, and then I ran into someone whose soul was very compatible with me, who had a special physique and made a wish when he died that someone would protect his child Mei—wait for a coincidence to be reborn. No matter which link is missing, I will fail. I think: the "I" in this world is probably not as lucky as me, and died long before I met Aji.

Because of this, I felt a little bit of the sadness of the death of the rabbit and the fox.

The white-haired boy asked curiously: "Adoptive mother? That is to say, Ms. Sachiko adopted Mr. Dazai from that world?"

I said troubledly: "Actually, I don't like to use this kind of rhetoric."

I stroked the hair by my ear and said, "For me, I couldn't let go of that kid, and I couldn't just watch him fall straight down, so... I grabbed the kid hand, determined to be his mother."

I looked up at them and said, "And it's the same with that kid, he chose me to be his mother."

I scratched my cheeks, smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "I don't like to use the relationship between adoption and being adopted to describe us, because we obviously chose each other and became family members."

The white-haired boy looked at me blankly, and murmured, "So gentle..."

"..."

And Dazai looked at me and said regretfully: "Oh, but the 'Dazai Osamu' in another world actually has a mother. It's really a pity that I didn't meet him."

Looking at his smiling face, I clearly realized the difference between him and my Azhi.First of all, it is absolutely impossible for the current Azhi to put on such a fake, strange and indifferent smile in front of me.

But even so...

"Well, I also feel sorry for myself in this world." I smiled at him, looked at Dazai with eyes as soft as honey, and said, "But even so, you who saw this world had a very difficult time." Well, I'm still very happy."

"Great." I said, "Even if I'm not here, you can live a good life. I'm relieved to have a companion who can stand together."

It's not that I haven't worried that if one day I die first, what will happen to Azhi who is left alone?But now I can completely relax.After all, Azhi already has his own life as well as friends, partners, and subordinates. Even if I really die, he will be able to continue to live his own life.

Not to mention that there is another "Osamu Dazai" in front of me who has never met me and lived well.

So I couldn't help repeating: "It's really good."

——It’s really great that you can do well.

"..."

Dazai remained silent, a rare blankness appeared on his face, and an extremely complicated expression appeared after he regained consciousness, which seemed to be resistance, disgust, strangeness, disgust but with indescribable intimacy.

Possibly not even aware of it himself—or aware of it but unable to control it, he took a step back.

"Ah." I subconsciously wanted to reach out to him, but I stretched my hand back after realizing that something was wrong with my movements.

I thought with some distress that I might be a burden to him.I would also be troubled if a stranger suddenly and inexplicably said that it was my mother and said a bunch of things to me.Especially "Osamu Dazai" all have similar sensitive personalities.

When the atmosphere became a little delicate, the white-haired boy suddenly muttered: "That's right, Mr. Dazai doesn't seem to be very good at dealing with this type of person."

Seeing us all looking at him, the white-haired boy who found himself unconsciously speaking his mind showed an embarrassed expression. He seemed to be saying, "Will I be silenced by Mr. Dazai?"

Edogawa Ranpo laughed very shamelessly.I coughed dryly, and said apologetically, "Sorry, I didn't intend to trouble you."

Kunikida-kun also had a faint gloating smile on his face, and he said, "You don't need to apologize, Miss Sachiko."

Dazai gave a "tsk" with a complicated expression on his face, then smiled and said as if nothing happened: "You didn't bother me either. I just think that the 'Dazai Osamu' from another world has a mother." It's just kind of miraculous."

Mingming's face looked so bad, and he said that he was not troubled.

I felt helpless, but because I and the Dazai in front of me were just strangers after all, I didn't go deep into it. I sighed and said: "If there is a chance, maybe I can let you meet."

"Another self?" Dazai said calmly, "It always feels annoying."

"Isn't this the so-called restraint of the same kind?" the white-haired boy complained.

I smiled and was about to continue talking to Dazai, but in the next instant, I was enveloped in pink smoke.One second before consciousness disappeared, I seemed to hear their surprised voices.

——Although it was short, it was indeed a pleasant journey.

I think so.

···

When I opened my eyes, the surrounding scene had changed back to the familiar hotel.Being top-heavy, I supported my head. Before I could stand still, I asked others what the rocket launcher that was thrown at me was. Ah Gang, who was standing next to me, ran over anxiously and grabbed my shoulder, loudly shouted. "Miss Sachiko, are you alright?"

I stared blankly at A Gang who seemed to be about to cry, thinking in confusion that I should have done nothing, right?
