Supernatural ability spring flowers and autumn fall

From his friend, Dazai Osamu, Qiu also heard the life story of his grandfather, Yasuo Sakuraba, who adopted him three years ago.

In fact, it is a very old-fashioned, but full of sad story.

More than 30 years ago, when Yokohama was not full of people with supernatural powers in various industries, Yasuo Sakuraba, who was very good at armed shooting, lived in this city as an ordinary mafia gang member.

One day, he fell in love with a very ordinary lady who loves to read, and then it was like the story of many stories.A warrior, married a lady, and soon after, a smaller, new life was born.

But tragedies always come at the happiest time. When Yasuo Sakuraba was on a business trip, the hostile organization targeted him, who had become the team leader, and the ordinary family members who stayed here.

When he came back, he could only hear the news that his beloved wife and child had left him forever.

One of the tenets of the mafia is that when you are attacked, you must pay back double.

Yasuo Sakuraba applied to the leader of the gang he belonged to at the time, and used his achievements in killing the entire squad of the hostile organization by himself in exchange for the treatment of officially retiring from the mafia early.

He originally fought with the determination to die, but it may be because of this terrifying suicidal mentality that the hostile team was frightened, and then he survived.

Afterwards, he did not leave with his lover and children, but stayed in the city of Yokohama, and opened a bookstore within the scope of the third organization that was not involved in the two gang organizations.

Moreover, until his death, he stayed in the city of Yokohama.

Obviously he had taught Qiu Ye before, don't apologize for blaming other people's evil on yourself.But the old man still attributed the death of his wife and children to his identity as a mafia and the itinerary he left Yokohama on a business trip that day.

Shuya listened to Dazai finish telling the ending of this sad story, with a dazed expression and eyes fixed on a certain point on the ground.A large amount of information was transmitted to his exhausted brain, which made him unable to make any expressions, and his brain had already stopped thinking.

"It's stupid, that old man." Dazai's hand was still attached to Shuya's face, the hand that was originally just wiping away tears changed to pinch his cheek after Shuya was stunned.

"If that old man walked out of that past and listened to your advice to leave Yokohama for a while, he wouldn't have died."

Shuya turned his eyes while staring at the floor, slowly raised his head to look at Dazai, and then he found that the corner of the boy's mouth was still smiling when he said these words.

"Yesterday, the rest of the GSS people were just undead, and it's no longer a climate. But he chose to stay in this city, so he died."

"He ran away in the end, what a coward."

Dazai expressed his views on the old man's life with this last sigh.

No, it's not like that.

To the last moment, Sakuraba Yasuo and Grandpa Yasuo were still thinking about what to do to protect him who was hiding under the cabinet.And similarly, just like the dead female guest, when she died, her hands seemed to be protecting something, although Qiu didn't see the child hidden in her arms.Whether it is Grandpa Yasuo or that lady, they are not running away, they are facing...

Shuya looked at Dazai, who was still smiling slightly at the corner of his mouth.He didn't know where the strength came from, he grabbed the wrist of Dazai's hand pinching his face, and shook it off.

"Please don't," he heard his own voice, very hoarse.But this is also something that can't be helped. After all, he has been in a coma for a whole day, and he didn't drink any water after waking up. He continued to speak and finished what he didn't finish:

"Please don't mock the dead!"

This sentence was yelled directly, and Dazai who was in front of him showed a surprised expression at Shuya's words.

Qiu also continued to speak, his voice became quieter, and it was no longer a roar: "They have their own various beliefs in this war."

Some may be for revenge, some may be for protection, and some may just be for survival, but no matter what...

"They all faced themselves and carried out their beliefs. So, so respect for those who died in this war!"

After saying this, Qiu also knelt down on the ground as if he had exhausted all his strength.

"...Ala," Dazai recovered from the words just now, and no longer showed a smile that couldn't end. He looked down at Qiuya who was kneeling on the ground and panting softly, "I take back a word, He's not stupid. After all, he really taught you well."

"..."

There was no response, but Dazai didn't care, he turned and went into the kitchen, took out a bottle of red wine and two wine glasses from the cabinet, returned to Qiuya, sat directly opposite him, and put the two wine glasses on him at hand.

Screwing the corkscrew into the cork, Dazai asked Shuya while twisting it: "Aren't you curious, Qiuya, how do I know these things?"

These things refer to the stories of Grandpa Yasuo Sakuraba.

Qiu Ye still sat there panting and dazed, ignoring him.

"Aki———" Dazai called out in a drawn out voice.

The shout brought Shuya back to his senses, and he shook his head.

"Because, Qiuya," the cork left the bottle of red wine and made a soft "boo", and the aroma of red wine instantly surrounded the two sitting on the ground.Dazai said in this wine-smelling atmosphere: "I am also a mafia."

"..." Qiu, who was sitting paralyzed on the ground, also moved, raised his head and looked at the young man in front of him with dull blue eyes, this boy with fluffy black hair, kite-colored eyes, and unusually many bandages wrapped around his body friends.

He opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.He received too many messages today, he felt that his brain processor should have gone on strike, and he didn't even feel how he felt when he heard this news.He may have been too tired to be broken.

"It's unbelievable, isn't it, Qiuya, the three people around you who have the most contact with you and the three people with the best relationship are all mafia." Putting the cork aside, Dazai poured the wine into two in the wine glass.

Yeah, it's incredible.He knows that Mr. Oda who treats him well every time he comes to the bookstore is a member of the Mafia, although he doesn't look like one at all.However, Grandpa Yasuo, who adopted him, and Osamu Dazai, whom he regarded as his most important friend, were also members of the Mafia, which he never thought about.

Mafia, this word has brought fear to Qiuya countless times in the past three years. He remembered the time when he was forced to hide in the bedroom on the second floor of the second-floor bookstore, the time when he slept at night listening to the gunshots in the distance, and , the attack in the bookstore yesterday.

Everything is related to the mafia.

And the most important people around him are the people in the dark.

Qiu also moved, folded her legs and hugged them, curled up into a ball.

"Huh, are you scared? Did you become scared after being brought back by a mafia that hasn't retired yet?" Dazai looked at Shuya's movements, stretched his head to look closer, and then sat back In situ, "But it's too late, I told you not to regret it."

Yes, he promised at the time that he would not regret it.

"So I opened this bottle of red wine to celebrate your coming to my house." When Dazai said this, he said with a smile. He picked up a wine glass, touched the other one on the ground along the side of the glass, and then He lifted it up to signal to Qiu who was still shrunk there, and took a sip.

Qiu Ye hugged his legs and silently watched his movements without moving.

"Ah, I almost forgot." Dazai put the wine glass back on the ground, and took out a capsule wrapped in aluminum foil from his pocket: "This glass of red wine to celebrate your coming can also be regarded as the last glass of wine in my life."

His slender fingers pressed the plastic shell covering the capsule, the aluminum foil broke and the capsule came out.Dazai picked up the capsule and put it in his mouth——

"Snapped--"

The capsule held by the thumb and forefinger was snapped off, and it was Shuya's outstretched hand.The capsule bounced twice on the ground and rolled directly under the sofa in the living room of Dazai's house.

"Why stop me, Shuya, I'm the mafia you hate." Dazai didn't care about the capsule that was shot flying, and the hand that was a little sore from being slapped too hard. Qiu Ye.

"...the Mafia also has good people." For example, Grandpa Yasuo who adopted him, and Mr. Oda.

And, "Dazai, is my important friend."

"Even if I'm a member of the Port Mafia?" Dazai asked.

"...Even if you are a member of the Port Mafia." Shuya replied.

"Well, it seems that I can't die again today." Dazai picked up his wine glass, drank the red liquid in it, and then pointed to another glass on the ground: "Don't you drink it, this is a special celebration Oh, you came."

Qiu also looked at the cup for a while, then shook his head: "I don't drink it, I'm not yet of age."

Minors are not allowed to drink alcohol.

Also, he wanted water more than wine.

"Well, it's really like what you would say." Dazai picked up another wine glass, took a picture of the moon outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and finished Qiuya's share of wine.

Putting another empty wine glass on the ground, Dazai stood up and stretched himself, muttering that he was going to sleep, and asked Shu to make arrangements in the room.

"Recently, I'm exhausted from dealing with all kinds of things every day. Shuya, I'm going to have breakfast tomorrow." Opening the only bedroom door in the apartment, Dazai called out to Shuya who was still sitting in the living room.Then he thought of a good idea: "If you skip breakfast and then collapse on the road with hypoglycemia and be shot to death, it seems that this is a good way to die."

After saying this, he closed the bedroom door, presumably going in to wash and rest.

"what……"

Still sitting on the ground, looking at the opened red wine and two empty wine glasses, Qiu also recovered from the sound of the door closing, and opened his mouth looking at the still closed bedroom.

He wants to take a bath.

The author has something to say: In the last chapter, Shuya hugged Dazai!Like a small animal with its chin resting on it, no one said that.

Dazai actually took the capsule out on purpose, to test whether Shuya still considers him a friend after knowing that he is a mafia.Because when he hanged himself on the beam for the first time, Qiu also rescued him because he regarded him as an "ordinary person" friend.If Qiu didn't stop him, and he took the medicine and died, then Qiu also couldn't leave the apartment where the preparatory cadre of the port mafia died the next day.He is such a black mud.

In addition, because he wanted to continue to be friends with Qiuya, this test was given. What moved him this time was the sentence he yelled, which is the subtitle of this chapter.Dazai has a unique view on life and death. Similar things are the opportunity for him to be friends with Ango. It was Ango who wrote the dead people into stories, and said that the dead people can only survive through such memories.This sentence moved Dazai, so the same Shuya's sentence to show respect for the dead also moved Dazai.

This is also the first time Dazai has taken it seriously, treating Shuya as his friend.Because he used to think of second-hand bookstores more as a place to skip work, and Shuya as a very bully and interesting acquaintance (Qiuya has given Dazai gifts several times, and Dazai has never returned gifts).But at the same time, the bond between the two of them is very weak, one is the mafia, the other is an orphan (just became), and the mafia has actually caused many psychological shadows on Qiuya, if you want to maintain this relationship It is necessary to do something artificially.

By the way, Zaiqiu also feels that there are good people in the mafia, for example, there is no Dazai.
