Dazai's Cub Raising Journey in Another World

Because the food was so monotonous, Dazai's body began to protest when he ate the third meal after two meals.

Thinking of his cooking skills that were rejected by Ango "not to die", he turned his attention to Levi.

"I'm going out for a while." He stood up and handed the book he had just picked up when he bought food to the other party. "Before I come back, use this to pass the time."

After walking out the door, he glanced at the house on the right.

I saw curls of cooking smoke coming out of the chimney, and a faint aroma of food in the air.

He thought for a while, bought some apples nearby, and then knocked on the neighbor's door.

"you are?"

It was a man who opened the door.

He looked to be in his 20s, tall and thin, with half-length dark brown hair and dark green eyes, giving off a very refined look.At this moment, he was looking at himself suspiciously.

"Hi, I'm Dazai, and I'm a neighbor who just moved in this morning." Dazai smiled and handed out the paper bag in his hand, "This is a little thought, I hope you can accept it."

"How can this be, you are too polite."

Seeing that the other party wanted to refuse, he quickly said: "Actually, I have something to ask you... No, I want to ask your wife for help."

"Grisha? What's the matter?" As he spoke, a long-haired woman with brown eyes poked her head out from behind the door.She was wearing an apron and appeared to be cooking.

"Carla?"

The man named Grisha was startled, and then said gently to himself: "Please come in and talk."

After sitting down at the dining table, Dazai said a little apologetically about the reason for his visit: "That's right, my brother and I just came here yesterday. Because we don't know how to cook, we just bought something to eat for the past two days." .”

"I'm fine. It's just that my brother is still young. I'm worried that he won't be able to take it anymore. That's why I took the liberty to visit. After all, the aroma of the food here is really delicious."

"May I ask, how did you solve the food problem before?" Grisha asked after pondering for a moment.

"It's (Levi's) mother." Dazai said, lowering his eyes, with a somewhat reluctant expression on his face, "A few days ago, she passed away, so..."

"What about the other relatives?"

Dazai smiled wryly and shook his head: "No more, apart from the two of us, there are no other relatives."

"Where did you live before, why do you want to come here? After all, it would be easier to live in an environment you are familiar with." Grisha did not give up asking because of this.

He is really a very cautious person.Dazai thought.He lowered his head, making a hesitant look.

"Grisha, you're scaring the child." Karula stopped her with some reluctance.

After being silent for a while, Dazai raised his head and looked at the man as if he mustered up his courage: "Actually, my brother and I are from Wangdu Underground Street."

"Are you from the Mainland?"

"Yes." Dazai smiled bitterly, "Because of poor health, (Levi's) mother has been bedridden. You may have heard of the environment in the underground street. After her death, in order to escape there, I took ( I scavenged from my cheap father) all the savings, and secretly brought my brother here. After all, I heard that the various policies here are much more favorable. "

"You have suffered a lot along the way." After listening to her narration, Carula's face was full of sympathy, "Have you had lunch? I just made a lot of stew..."

Grisha stopped his wife and looked at Dazai curiously: "So, what do you want us to do?"

"I hope your wife can find time to teach my brother how to cook."

"Your brother?" Both of them were a little stunned.

"Yes." Dazai said with some embarrassment, "I spent a lot of money to get a free ride, and now I rent a house, and my original savings are almost bottomed out (no wonder). So I have to hurry up Just find a job. But, in this way, I can’t take care of my brother’s three meals a day, so I have to let him learn to take care of himself.”

"Of course, I'll let him come to study when you two are here." After finishing speaking, he added hastily.

Grisha and Karula looked at each other and agreed to his request.

"Okay, then let him come over before lunch every day." The man said.

"Thank you so much!" Dazai stood up, thanking you sincerely.

Before leaving, the kind-hearted Carula filled a plate full of stew for him.

That's right, dinner is settled~ Dazai walked home briskly carrying the plate.

When he got home, he saw Levi sitting at the desk, frowning and staring at the open book in front of him, without even realizing that he was back.

After putting down the plate, Dazai walked over and took a look with his head.

"Levi-kun."

Startled by the sudden sound, Levi turned around sharply and looked over cautiously.After seeing clearly that it was him, his expression relaxed.

The eyes just now... are very similar to Akutagawa.interesting.Dazai thought to himself, but he still naturally finished what he just said: "The book is upside down."

Seeing the embarrassment on the other side's face for a moment, he couldn't help laughing: "So, you can't read."

He was a little worried before that he should find something for Levi to do when he was out.

The first thing he thought of was Odasaku.However, the age difference between Levi and those children is too large, and there is no reference value.After all, he couldn't imagine the other party playing with toys.

He thought of himself again.At this age, I am studying, but there is no school here.

Well now, I finally have a direction.

"It's okay, from today onwards, I'll teach you." He looked at the other party and said, "But before that, you and I have to visit our neighbors. Because, from tomorrow onwards, you will learn how to cook with the other party. "

"Cook?"

"Yes. After all, this is one of the necessary survival skills." Dazai replied solemnly.

At last they got rid of bread and milk that night.

Eating the hot stew, although it wasn't delicious enough, still moved Dazai who was holding the bowl to the point of tears.

After dinner, he took out the pen and paper he had bought when returning the neighbor's tableware, and used that book as a teaching material to teach Levi how to read and write.

Because of a certain foundation of language expression, Levi was able to correctly read a lot of words in one night.Although not very good at writing.

Seeing that it was getting late, after the other party read Chapter 1 of the book again, he stood up and closed the book.

"Come here for today. Now, it's time to rest."

After Levi fell asleep, Dazai quietly walked out of the house and came to a tavern in the town.

He's here to apply.

This is the largest tavern in Higanshina District, which can accommodate fifty or sixty guests at the same time. When night falls, many guests will come to drink and relax. As the garrison guarding the wall, they will also visit here from time to time .

As soon as I walked into the tavern, I could hear the noisy noise. After opening the door, I saw that it was crowded with people, and the air was full of alcohol and smoke.People who know each other sat around together, they raised their glasses of wine, laughed and talked about something.

Carefully avoiding the customers, Dazai walked to the bar and explained his purpose to the people inside.

The bartender-like person put down his glass after listening, and entered a room deep behind the counter. After a while, a middle-aged man came out.It must be the tavernkeeper.

Dazai repeated what he just said, and showed his need and urgency for this job at the right time.

Fortunately, the boss is a reasonable person. After learning that he needs to bear all the expenses of the family, he readily hired him.And his main job is to organize the goods and clean the wine glasses, and deliver drinks to the guests when there are many people.

In this way, for the next period of time, the lives of the two were quite regular:

In the morning, he rested in his room, and Levi reviewed and consolidated his reading and writing knowledge in the dining room.He doesn't get up until after Levi's cooking class, grocery shopping, and lunch are ready.In the afternoon, he will teach each other new content.After dinner, he will go to work in the tavern, and Levi will rest within the specified time after reading a book for a while.

Due to the advantage of the location of the tavern, Inspector Dazai heard a lot of information and gained a deeper understanding of the situation in the entire town.After learning that Mr. Arnold in the town is very knowledgeable, Levi can master the basic knowledge of reading and writing. He went to visit and sincerely asked the old gentleman to teach Levi to read.

"I can only do this in my life. However, if possible, I hope my brother can become a knowledgeable person." He said with a bitter expression.

The old gentleman was silent for a moment, then finally nodded and agreed to the matter.

As a result, Levi's life became much more busy.

Because he often gave disguised wine to the people stationed in the Corps, and he came and went again and again, so he was so familiar with those soldiers.

After learning that Dazai had never seen a giant and wanted to see it with his own eyes, several people said boldly: "What's the problem? You just come over when you change shifts tomorrow morning. But let me tell you in advance that the monster is quite ugly. Don't be fooled."

"Oh, is it okay? Thank you so much!" Dazai's face was full of joy.
