The human disqualification of an outsider

Ginza Bar Sakunosuke Oda has been sitting in this place for a long time, and even the bartender couldn't help asking this unremarkable guest if he needed more drinks.

He just nodded calmly, watching the same drink from that night being poured into the crystal clear glass, the water droplets made a sound, as if to pull him into that memory.

His finger rested on the wall of the wine glass, rubbing it slowly, Oda Sakunosuke couldn't tell what his actions were for, he just felt that he seemed to have missed something, missed a very important person, and then missed The world he should have had.

He raised his wine glass and made a toast from a distance, not knowing who he was making this gesture to, then he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, leaving nothing behind, just like the ending game.

All kinds of strange guesses were spinning in his mind. He leaned half against the bar behind him and stared at the square table in front of him. If he guessed correctly, the angle was probably here, and the photo should have been taken from here.

Oda Sakunosuke snorted twice, and the casual hum made him feel familiar, but he couldn't remember anything. He just scratched his hair, then turned his head, tilted his body in a little confusion, and fell on the ground. On the bar counter, with melancholy eyes, he tapped his finger on the photo next door, whispering: "You, and you..."

Before he finished speaking, he had already fallen asleep, only the downward arc of the corner of his mouth remained unchanged.

"Mr. Oda!" Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who came in a hurry, saw Sakunosuke Oda who was sleeping on the bar. He ran over quickly, paid for the drink that Sakunosuke Oda just had, and used his supernatural power helplessly Moving the other party, wanting to bring this adult back, when moving Oda Sakunosuke's body, the photo also fell on the ground, which caught Akutagawa Ryunosuke's attention.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa knew about this photo, or in other words, he brought this photo to Sakunosuke Oda himself.

After "solving" Osamu Dazai, who seemed to be the villain, and being entrusted with a lot of things, he and Atsushi Nakajima found this photo in Osamu Dazai's office. It's not so novel, let alone interesting , It's just that this photo is too conspicuous.

After Osamu Dazai became the leader of the port mafia, he didn't change much the layout and items in the leader's office. At first glance, it looked exactly the same as the office where Ogai Mori was. Only this photo, in Atsushi Nakajima's impression Among them, this did not exist before they came to the war, but it suddenly appeared on the desktop in the office, and it was carefully framed with a photo frame, obviously a very important item.

In view of the fact that although there are many Dazai Osamu, there is obviously only one Oda Sakunosuke, Akutagawa Ryunosuke and Nakajima Atsushi thought for a long time, and decided to give it to Oda Sakunosuke.

Probably no one thought that there would be such a photo, just as no one thought that Oda Sakunosuke would have such a reaction.

The moment he got the photo, Oda Sakunosuke's eyes were filled with tears for some reason, and the tears slid down his cheeks, staining his clothes, but when asked why he was crying, he couldn't answer why. .

But Edogawa Ranpo, after looking at the photo, clearly saw the reason, and said that sentence: "I see, you lost him."

The words were so clear and so sure, when Edogawa Ranpo looked at him, Edogawa asked again: "Do you want to find him?"

Oda Sakunosuke is actually not very clear about what the other party is talking about, but this is normal. People who can understand Edogawa Ranpo's words probably do not exist in this armed detective agency. After all, the other party's thinking is so powerful, it is not that they can completely He understands clearly, but he can probably realize that what Edogawa Ranpo was talking about should be Dazai Osamu.

He knew that although there were four Osamu Dazai in this photo, only the leader in the black windbreaker was the one he knew. Yes, the other party was the Osamu Dazai of his own world. Ri had just met each other, and even pulled out a gun at each other, pointing the muzzle at each other, as if breaking the bond between them at that moment.

In fact, looking back on what happened that day, Oda Sakunosuke actually understood something. Dazai Osamu’s words were so vague, but for some reason, he roughly understood that the other party was asking him for help. In words, Osamu Dazai seemed to want to express something, but he couldn't say it, so he could only communicate with himself in such a vague way, and finally turned into a helpless wry smile.

Yes, wry smile.

After seeing this photo, what does Oda Sakunosuke not understand?Even though he is not the Oda Sakunosuke who is Dazai Osamu's best friend now, he is still Oda Sakunosuke.

All the mysteries were solved in an instant, and all the answers were revealed. Accompanied by the sentence "This is the only world where he is writing books" brought back by Akutagawa Ryunosuke, Oda Sakunosuke finally understood, and Dazai Osamu It was the friend who had been helping me all the time, but I personally pushed him away.

For some reason, at that time, Oda Sakunosuke really wanted to leave this place, go to that bar that he didn’t go to very often, and have a drink, as if this way he could see Dazai Osamu, as if this could save some What, but in fact, the dead will not come back to life, the lost things will not reappear, and everything has been turned into nothingness the moment the signs appear.

His struggle, his pain, and his regret have all become words that cannot be conveyed, and can only be merged into the tears and fall into the endless sea of ​​nothingness.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke was sent by the Armed Detective Agency. He was mainly responsible for bringing back the drunk Oda Sakunosuke. Why didn't he take Oda Sakunosuke away earlier?Of course, it was because Ranpo Edogawa and they all said that they wanted to let Sakunosuke Oda vent his emotions.

In fact, he didn't really understand it, just like he probably would never understand Osamu Dazai's behavior, the man's actions were too strange, probably not many people can fully understand what the other party said and what he did, right?Even if Osamu Dazai said so much on the stage that day, what he and Atsushi Nakajima could finally understand was only seven or eight out of ten.

Mr. Ranpo is probably the only person who can get the real meaning?But I can't tell Ranpo-san...

Akutagawa Ryunosuke thought so, the black beast behind him gently rolled up Oda Sakunosuke, and stuffed the photo into Oda Sakunosuke's arms. He raised his foot and was about to leave the bar, but suddenly heard behind him There was a strange noise, and the person held by the black beast disappeared, which made him turn pale with fright.

"Ah, there seems to be a strange person here." Holding the wine glass, Osamu Dazai looked at the transparent glass wall, and seemed to see a fragmented self from it, and seemed to see something extraordinary. He was so emotional, Then he turned his head, looked at Oda Sakunosuke, who was drinking silently beside him, stretched out his hand, lay down on the other person's body, and said loudly, "Oda Saku is really a brave man!"

"I just told a fact." Oda Sakunosuke said calmly. He knew what Osamu Dazai was talking about, but he was talking about the fact that he invited Osamu Dazai in the office of the head of the port mafia. This kind of thing In fact, there is nothing to explain. I just spoke my mind. He will indeed wait for Dazai forever. If one day Dazai doesn’t want to play the game of mafia operatives, I will welcome him with open arms. his.

Shaking his head, Osamu Dazai hummed the tune softly, and said: "Odasaku doesn't understand, this is equivalent to challenging Mr. Mori's authority. After all, he is still on Mr. Mori's territory."

"Really? I'm going to apologize." Blinking, Oda Sakunosuke put down the wine glass in his hand and whispered.

"No, no, no," stretched out his hand and coiled it around Oda Sakunosuke like an octopus, Dazai Osamu stopped Oda Sakunosuke's behavior, then moved his body, pulled Oda Sakunosuke towards him, and left the Location, "Come and sit here."

"Is there any difference?" Oda Sakunosuke asked with some doubts while holding the wine glass and moved a position together with Dazai Osamu, but all he got was Dazai Osamu's small smiling eyes, which looked a little mischievous, like It's funny.

After a pause, he didn't ask any more questions about this aspect, but naturally chatted with Osamu Dazai about what he needs to do in Tokyo in the future, "For Tokyo, I am the colorless king now, what do I need to do?" ?"

"First of all, you need to visit my Papa Slate~" Changed the topic following Sakunosuke Oda, Osamu Dazai was willing to say more about this, and said, "Papa Slate is the one who gives you strength, and Your source of strength, if you want to become a stable colorless king, you have to let Papa Shiban see your sincerity."

Although he has changed back to his normal state, Osamu Dazai still calls Toku Tsushima "Papa Slate", probably because of the special meaning in this title.

"Okay." Oda Sakunosuke wrote down this matter, and he would naturally visit Tokushima Tsushima. After all, his power was given to him by the other party for Dazai Osamu's sake, and it helped him get rid of the Blue King , I need to visit each other both emotionally and rationally.

"Then, like the king of gold and the king of blue, if they want you to condescend to visit them, just boldly ignore them." Osamu Dazai said this with great force, as if what he was holding was not a pen It was the torch of the Statue of Liberty, waving a pen, and he said solemnly, "You are the colorless king bestowed by my slate father, why should you visit the gold king? Everyone has the same status. If If that guy dares to say anything, you can go back with the status of the Tsushima family, and if you have the ability to go to my Shiban father, who will win then?!"

The key words were extracted from Dazai Osamu's words, and Oda Sakunosuke probably understood, which means that he only needs to hug Tokushima's thigh tightly, and Tokushima will help him if something happens, and he doesn't need to take care of the rest mean?

After Oda Sakunosuke understood this, he naturally gave up the entanglement in this aspect. At first, he thought, if the King of Gold came to find him, would he need to visit him? He has settled down in Tokyo, but judging from Dazai Osamu, it seems that he doesn't need to worry so much.

In fact, this is also good, after all, I am not living alone in Tokyo, there are a few children beside me, they are still in school, living a daily life, and they are completely different from me.

Even if they say that they want to become a "Mafia" in the future, they are just a group of children after all, and people like Osamu Dazai who became a member of the Mafia at the age of 14 and became a Mafia officer at the age of 16 It's completely different, and those children who are still in the light are not able to fully understand the horror of darkness.

Oda Sakunosuke sighed, and didn't say anything more. In contrast, what he was more worried about was the job he needed to find next.

"Oda Saku, are you worried about work?" Osamu Dazai blinked his eyes, seeing the worry of Oda Sakunosuke, he smiled, and came up with a bad idea: "I'll give you an idea."

Turning his head to look at Dazai Osamu, Oda Sakunosuke swore that when Dazai Osamu showed such an expression, he must not be thinking of something good, but he didn't mind listening to Dazai Osamu's thoughts: "What?"

"You can use your status as the colorless king to threaten the green king and the gold king, saying that if they don't pay you the salary of the king every month, then you will make trouble." Osamu Dazai said loudly So, even if he knew that Oda Sakunosuke would definitely not accept his opinion, he still wanted to speak out.

"Don't make trouble." Just as Dazai Osamu thought, Oda Sakunosuke did not agree with Dazai Osamu's approach, or he stretched out his hand and rubbed it on Dazai Osamu's head, as if coaxing Like a child who has not yet grown up, he didn't take Dazai Osamu's words seriously at all.

Osamu Dazai flattened his mouth, he knew that Oda Sakunosuke would not accept his opinion, but this is not important, and what he said was just a joke, just as a joke, after this night, Oda Sakunosuke I will leave for Tokyo. If it is not necessary, I will not step into Yokohama again. If I want to drink with him, I have to go to Tokyo by myself.

He sighed, holding the wine glass in his hand, pointed to the seat where Oda Sakunosuke was sitting, and said very seriously: "Oda Saku, from now on, you must watch intently, something very interesting will happen of~"

Osamu Dazai's words were so certain that Oda Sakunosuke immediately believed the words of the place, and turned his head to look at the place, but saw nothing.

Since Osamu Dazai usually doesn't talk nonsense, he didn't disbelieve the other party, but continued to look at him. After a while, his eyes suddenly opened wide, obviously frightened by the scene in front of him.

On the seat where Sakunosuke Oda was originally sitting, a figure appeared out of thin air. That person had the same burgundy hair as Sakunosuke Oda, and was wearing a beige windbreaker and some old-fashioned shirts and trousers. A somewhat wrinkled photo, from which the figures of Dazai Osamu and Oda Sakunosuke can be vaguely discerned.

Even without Dazai Osamu's reminder, Oda Sakunosuke knew that this photo was taken by himself and the four Dazai Osamu and others before, and he could clearly understand that the person in front of him was his other self, another Oda Sakunosuke! ! !
