There was silence for a while, and no answer was heard.

Dazai glanced at the other children, and then slowed down until there were only the two of them left, then he asked softly with a smile: "Does Kishi-kun have any concerns? It's only the two of us now, so we can tell you quietly." What have I been worrying about myself?"

The boy still didn't answer.Dazai was not in a hurry, but continued to walk slowly forward with Natsume on his back.

After walking for a while, the boy's low voice came from behind: "If we stay together for a long time, sooner or later, everyone will stop liking me."

"Huh? Why do you think so?"

"...Because... I am different from other children." Natsume said vaguely, lying on Dazai's shoulder, as if to bury herself.

"For example, can you see things that others cannot see?" Dazai added softly.

The boy was obviously stunned, and then he explained incoherently: "No, no! I didn't harm myself, and I never lied. I did some strange behaviors not to attract others' attention, but for other reasons... ..."

"Please don't believe those people's words, please...don't hate me for it..."

"Yeah, I know everything, so please don't worry. Besides, Kishi-kun is so cute, how could I hate you?" Dazai said, patting the panic-stricken child, "However, since Mr. Guizhi has some concerns, what do you think of this? I will find a more suitable excuse to discuss with your uncle and ask him to agree to you living with us for a period of time. If you feel unhappy, you can go back at any time. In this way If so, don't you feel a little more at ease?"

"Yeah." The boy nodded slightly.

"Okay, then I'll talk to your uncle soon."

Seeing that the entrance of the village was getting closer, Natsume said a little uneasy: "I... I'll go by myself."

"Okay~" Dazai chuckled, and put the opponent down, "Aren and the others are right ahead, let's take a few steps quickly."

As he spoke, he took the boy's little hand and caught up with the children in front who were always paying attention to this side.

"Children, it's getting late, what do you want for dinner?" Seeing a convenience store not far away, Dazai bent slightly and asked the children.

"Stew! I haven't eaten enough yesterday." After finishing speaking, Allen added, "It would be better if the meat in it wasn't fish."

"I think they are all delicious." Natsume said, smiling a little embarrassedly.

"Where's Mr. Xie?" Dazai smiled and looked at Xie who was standing on the far side.

Xie took a look at this side, and then replied with words like gold: "Stewed vegetables."

"Okay, let's eat stew tonight! Now let's go to the store to buy vegetables~" He said, leading everyone into the convenience store.

They walked around the store for a while, not only bought a lot of meat, vegetables, rice cakes, fungi, but also bought a lot of odds and ends, such as new tableware, water glasses, paper towels, snacks, milk, bread, etc.Of course, the most important thing is the pot.

So when they came out, everyone had several bags in their hands.

"Kiki?"

Hearing someone calling, the smile on Natsume's face was suddenly replaced by embarrassment and panic.

Dazai looked at the couple and the little girl led by them, and made a judgment on the identity of the visitor.

"Guizhi-jun, you go back with Li Wei and the others to prepare dinner first, and I will talk to your uncle, just to mention what I said earlier." Seeing that the other party hesitated, he patted the boy's shoulder reassuringly, and smiled He urged, "Go quickly, I will leave this place to me."

After Natsume walked away, Dazai looked gently at the couple in front of him who were obviously wary of him.

"I'm meeting you for the first time. I'm Osamu Dazai. I'm currently living at the Dazai Shrine in front. This is my ID." Dazai said, and handed the materials he had prepared in advance to the other party.

The man took a look at it, and the guard in his eyes faded a little. Thinking of his self-introduction just now, he couldn't help but look a little complicated: "Shrine...you are a priest? But that shrine is not..."

"Because I just came here recently, and I haven't had time to take care of it in the future, so I am laughing at you." Dazai said calmly.

"Did you and Guizhi know each other before? I've never seen that child smile so happily." The woman returned the ID and asked puzzledly, with a little disappointment in her expression.

"No, that's not the case." Dazai replied with a smile, "One day some time ago, Kishi-kun who was lost accidentally entered the shrine, and we met through such a coincidence. Because most of my children are of the same age as him, so several people We played together very quickly, and even got a little closer to me. I hope you can forgive me for not coming to visit."

"Where, you are too polite!" The two waved their hands quickly.

"You told Guizhi earlier that you have something to tell me. May I ask what it is?" After a pause, the man couldn't help asking.

"Ah, so it is."

Dazai looked at each other sincerely: "After work gradually gets on the right track, I won't have much time to take care of the children. It just so happens that they are very interested in school life, but Kishi-kun can only come over after school. The time is too short, and there is very little to say."

"So I thought, can you please live with us for a while? That way the kids can learn more about the school. When they get familiar with it, I can send them all to the school. School is over."

"Because we live in the same town, if you are worried, you can come and have a look at any time. What do you think?"

"Did Kishi agree?" the man asked back.

Dazai didn't answer the other party directly, but said evasively: "You know, it's easy for boys to play together. However, such a matter must be consulted first."

"Will this cause you too much trouble?"

Hearing his question, Dazai couldn't help laughing: "How could it be? It's just one more person, and I can still take care of it. After all, I already have so many children. So, you mean to agree, right? Really Thank you so much!"

"Well, how should I put it, it's rare that the child looks very happy." The man scratched his hair a little at a loss.

Perhaps, this couple cares more about Kishi-kun than they think.Dazai quietly observed the two people in front of him.

But, just this is not enough.

After all, the child's young heart has already experienced too much damage, so that the slightest disturbance will make him choose to close his heart firmly, just hoping not to add more damage.

Although they may really care about Mr. Guizhi, they just ignore the psychological counseling of their children.After all, there is no child who is sincerely willing to share with other children the care that originally belonged to his parents.

Glancing at the girl whose face was full of defense and hostility, Dazai withdrew his gaze and looked at the man with a smile: "Then Kishi-kun has been staying at the shrine since today. If it's convenient, let me take his schoolbag Take it away? Because it’s time for class the day after tomorrow.”
