Be Dazai's mother

"I didn't find it in the east!"

"Neither to the west!"

"..."

Listening to the report conveyed by the people below through shikigami, Chang Jingsi rubbed his temples with some headaches.

Giving ghosts are very rare monsters that don't necessarily appear once in hundreds of years.It is said that this kind of youkai is transformed into the ghost of a tragically dead woman, and will grant the wishes of those who help her.But at the same time, the ghost of giving things will also drag the other party to die together because it is too lonely.

Of course there are other theories.Generally speaking, there are too few materials for ghosts, so that there are different versions.

But there is only one thing that is certain - the ghost of giving things can fulfill the wishes of others, even at the cost of life.

Chang Jingsi didn't believe that the monster would be so kind.Rather than believing that the ghost of giving will realize his most urgent desire, it is better to directly control the ghost of giving.

The problem is that it is very difficult to encounter ghosts, and they may not appear once in hundreds of years.Chang Jingji once dismissed this kind of monster as a ridiculous rumor and threw it aside.

This time, I really didn't expect that this woman named Sachiko would meet the Gimonu ghost.But the gift-giving ghost disappeared after giving the other party a "gift".It stands to reason that before Dazai Sachiko died of weakness, the Gimoni would not leave the surrounding area.But after Chang Jingsi sent many shikigami and fellow clansmen to look for it, all they got was a response that they couldn't find it.

This is terrible, and Dazai Sachiko doesn't know how long she can last.

Thinking of the appearance of Dazai Sachiko who was about to fall in the next second that he saw earlier, Shizuka sighed again with a headache.

···

My brain was groggy, and my limbs ached to the point of unbearable.Where are you now?I don't know, it's just that the brain seems to be a mess, making people's eyes black.

I seemed to be walking back to my own room from Azhi's room, and suddenly felt very tired and fell asleep on the bed?Why are you so tired?Not sure either.I just want to just keep on sleeping like this.

In a trance, he vaguely heard someone talking next to him.

"If you don't find the ghost, Miss Sachiko's body will not be able to hold on anymore." That was Natori Monday's voice.

"How come?!" Ah Gang said anxiously.

After a disturbing silence, Azhi's depressed and deep voice rang out in the room: "Have you still not been able to find the gift ghost?"

Natori Monday sighed, and said, "Finding a hidden monster is not an easy task. What's more, this kind of monster is extremely good at hiding. Besides, the ghost will stay where we are and wait for us to find it." The yokai, it's still moving around - using yokai powers."

"..."

There was another uncomfortable silence.

Some indistinct sounds were vaguely heard again, followed by the sound of the door being pulled open, and other people in the room seemed to have walked out.Only Azhi was left sitting beside me.

"Xingzi." I heard him say: "Persist a little longer, and I will definitely save you."

There was another silence, and I heard Azhi's suppressed, pretendingly indifferent voice with a slight trill.

"You are not allowed to die. You clearly said that you would not leave me. If you die now, I will hate you forever."

He said such self-willed words like an ignorant child, but there was no complaint in my heart, only infinite love.

—My child, my poor child.

"I'm going to hate you," he said. "I'm really going to hate you."

——If I really die, what should you do?

"I swear..." He finished with a vague, sobbing sound.

You seem to be the same little child back then, neither growing up nor wanting to grow up, always stubbornly pretending that you don't care about anything, but crying in your heart.

...But I can no longer hold you in my arms like before, comfort you softly, and coax you to sleep?

If I die, what will you do if I left you in this world?

Aji, what should you do?

···

Consciousness fell into darkness again.

Then I had a very strange and confusing dream.I saw many, many "Osamu Dazai", such as "Osamu Dazai" wearing a school uniform and laughing and playing with others, "Osamu Dazai" with many tails behind him, "Osamu Dazai" holding a guitar, and "Osamu Dazai" in a blue suit calling himself Phantom Thief "Osamu Dazai"...

Many "Osamu Dazai" flashed in front of me, and they surrounded me and shouted "Sachiko, Sachiko".

...ah, is this heaven?It must be heaven.

I thought peacefully.

I was immersed in the happiness of being surrounded by slaughter and couldn't extricate myself. I felt like I had died and came to heaven.

At this moment, someone's cry suddenly came from behind me.

I turned my head and saw only darkness, but the crying sound from the depths of the darkness still made me feel anxious.

So who is crying?

"Sachiko?" "Osamu Dazai" wearing Chinese clothes and holding a flower in his hand looked at me suspiciously, as if wondering why I looked back frequently.

The other "Osamu Dazai" also looked at me in confusion.

"I..." Looking at their appearance, I was trying to comfort the "Dazai Osamu" and nothing happened, but the crying sound from the depths of the darkness made my whole body ache.

This made me frown slightly uneasy.

"What happened?" "Dazai Osamu" wearing a summer kimono showed a worried expression and said, "Where are you going?"

I looked at his face, although I wanted to say that I wasn't going anywhere, but for some reason the words came to my lips but I couldn't say anything.

"...Sorry." As I said that, I pushed away the "Osamu Dazai" who surrounded me, and plunged into the darkness.

There seemed to be no air in the darkness, and just running in made my brain go blank because I couldn't breathe.To say that I ran into darkness would be better to say that I jumped into a black sea of ​​silence.

Holding my breath, I plunged into this dark ocean, looking for something in such a place full of darkness.

What am I looking for?I don't know myself.Just knowing that must be something very, very important to me.

Then, I dragged someone out of this darkness.The person I dragged out struggled vigorously like a dehydrated fish, making a dying sound.

Seeing this man's appearance, I was startled, grabbed him in a panic and shouted, "Ah Zhi?!"

Azhi, who was dragged out of the dark ocean by me, coughed violently, coughing up all the water in his mouth.He was soaked, black water dripping from his hair.

Azhi looked at me, obviously there was no other expression on his face, he just looked at me calmly - but I felt that he was crying, and the sea water dripping from his hair to his cheeks was as uneasy as tears. keep falling down.

Endless crying came from Azhi's body.

"Why..." He said this, with the sadness and pain that almost drowned me: "It was clearly promised not to leave me."

"Xingzi, you liar, liar, liar." There seemed to be endless hatred in his voice, but when he listened carefully, the hatred dissipated as lightly as cotton, leaving only the water that was almost like sea water. sad.

"Don't cry!" I comforted Azhi at a loss, and hurriedly said, "Aren't I here? Look! I'm right here, by your side, Azhi!"

Azhi laughed a few times in a low voice, the laughter was hysterical and tremblingly weird.After laughing for a while, Aji raised his head and looked at me expressionlessly and said.

——"Where do you say you are?"

"...Huh? I'm not right here—" I lowered my head in a daze, and suddenly heard the sound of "Papa Papa", my whole body was in pain as if it was being torn apart bit by bit, and my flesh and blood turned into pieces. It rots and keeps falling.

Then, before I could react, I was completely turned into a pile of bones, I couldn't even see, I couldn't touch Azhi, and my consciousness became blurred.

That's it, I'm already dead.

I thought vaguely.

Suddenly, I felt a warm liquid dripping onto my head.

That's probably the dripping sea water... But why is it so hot?

Before I completely lost consciousness, I thought in a daze.

Ah, if I die, what will Aji do?

What is the future of this child?As long as I think about it, I can't help but sigh, and my tears will not stop flowing.

Even if I die, I hope you can live well and gain happiness.Even if I die, I hope you can have a bright future.

My child, my most important child.Even if it's just my prayers, I want to know that all is well with your future.

···

When I was struggling to wake up, Mrs. Xingyue who was standing by my side sighed and said, "You're finally awake, Miss Sachiko."

I looked at her blankly, feeling hot all over, and my brain was in chaos.

Mrs. Xingyue helped me to drink a cup of hot water, and then asked me if I wanted something to eat.

I wasn't hungry, so I shook my head and rejected her offer.Then Mrs. Xingyue slowly told me what happened outside after I passed out.

Now Azhi and the others are looking for the gift ghost everywhere, leaving her to wait by my side, waiting for me to take care of me when I wake up.In fact, only an hour had passed since Azhi and the others left.It was unbelievable that it felt like I had slept for such a long time, but only an hour had passed when I woke up.

Of course, this hour is extremely long for Mrs. Xingyue.She worried almost every second that I would die in my sleep like this.

Mrs. Xingyue told me that she was actually A Zhi's subordinate, but she stayed in the hotel on weekdays and pretended to be an ordinary proprietress.

She couldn't see monsters, and she didn't have any contact with them on weekdays.This time, because I heard about me from Azhi, I specially invited a demon exorcist from Chang's house to guard near the hotel.I thought it was safe, but I didn't expect that this time I encountered a monster who played cards for the uneasy common sense of the ghost and was extremely good at hiding himself.

"I'm really sorry, Ms. Xingzi, but I definitely didn't do it on purpose. Please believe me only about this matter." As she spoke, Mrs. Xingyue showed a look of guilt and a little fear, perhaps because she was afraid Zhi will take his anger on her.

I'm not very good at self-deception. I naturally know that the gentle and lovely Azhi in my heart has a terrifying side in front of others except me. I have also heard a little about the horror rumors about Azhi in the port mafia.

Even though I know that Azhi is not the type who would vent his anger on innocent people, other people will never know Azhi like me, so I can only comfort Mrs. Xingyue softly: "It's okay, Azhi is not that kind of person." The type to take the piss out of others."

Mrs. Xingyue still didn't seem to be able to let go of her heart, but she didn't continue to talk about this topic.

While chatting, I felt a little tired again. Seeing my tired face, Mrs. Xingyue thoughtfully said that I could continue to go back to sleep, and she would watch over me by my side.

I looked at her distressedly and said, "It's fine if I didn't notice it when I fell asleep, but now I know that someone has been kneeling and watching me while I'm asleep—it really still makes people feel uncomfortable. Xingyue Madame should go back and do her own business first."

Seeing her expression of disapproval, I smiled again and said, "And I just woke up, and I have to go back to sleep again, even I can't stand it."

As I said this, I said in a relaxed tone: "If possible, can you bring me something to pass the time?"

Mrs. Xingyue nodded, and went out to help me get things.

After Mrs. Xingyue closed the door, I looked at the leaves outside the window in a trance, and murmured: "...you have to hurry up."

···

At the same time somewhere in Yahara, Tsunayoshi Sawada wiped the sweat off his face anxiously.

Before going to sleep, he originally thought that everything was fine. Although Miss Sachiko didn't look energetic, she could still last for a few more days, leaving plenty of time for them to find the gift ghost.But when Sawada Tsunayoshi was woken up, Reborn told him with a heavy face that Ms. Sachiko had started to fall asleep, and it would be troublesome if she couldn't find the ghost.

At that time, Sawada Tsunayoshi was so frightened that he immediately jumped up from the bed to find the ghost.

At the same time, when Sawada Tsunayoshi went out, he also saw Osamu Dazai who arrived at some unknown time.Tsunayoshi Sawada has always been deeply impressed by the son of Ms. Sachiko. After all, Tsunayoshi Sawada has been terribly sensitive since he was a child. Later, Osamu Dazai joined the port mafia, and the dark aura on his body was so strong that Tsunayoshi Sawada wanted to run away on the spot when facing him. .

But even so, when Sawada Tsunayoshi saw Osamu Dazai at this time, he only had a very sad mood...probably because he felt the panic and sadness of Osamu Dazai who was about to lose the most important person. Bar.

Even though Osamu Dazai still seemed to be very capable as he had seen before, Tsunayoshi Sawada could still feel that he was afraid of losing Miss Sachiko, and Osamu Dazai was afraid of losing his mother.

Thinking of Dazai Osamu's appearance at that time, Sawada Tsunayoshi couldn't help but sigh.

But that's the end of the recollection, he is still in a hurry to find the gift ghost.

Sawada Tsunayoshi has been looking for it all day, from going out in the morning until the next morning.As far as he knows, other people also searched for a day without sleep, and went to a convenience store to buy some bread for a few bites.To be honest, Sawada Tsunayoshi was exhausted so much that he wanted to fall asleep on the ground on the spot.But thinking of Miss Sachiko who might be about to die, Tsunayoshi Sawada gritted his teeth and persisted.

At this time, Sawada Tsunayoshi had just walked out of a temple. When he looked up, he found that the rain had stopped. Maybe it was because he was so focused on finding the gift ghost that he didn't realize that the storm had passed. up.Those who were blocked outside Yayuan due to the storm must have come in one after another.

The sun rose again, and Tsunayoshi Sawada, whose eyes were pierced by the sun, subconsciously stretched out his hand to block the light in front of his eyes.

At the same time, Sawada Tsunayoshi noticed someone running towards him in a hurry.

"Found it!" His friend Gujiji Hayato waved at him cheerfully and shouted, "Judaime! We found the Gimononi!"

The moment he heard that he had found the ghost, Sawada Tsunayoshi's brain, which had become chaotic because he didn't have a good rest, immediately woke up, and he asked in surprise and disbelief: "How did you find it?"

"It was found by a young man named Takashi Natsume!" Said Hayato Gokuji.
