"Shuya, come and help me tie my tie, my hand is hurt—" Dazai, who was standing at the entrance, called to the boy in the kitchen.

Now the season of cherry blossoms has passed, time is slowly entering summer, and it has been three months since Dazai told Shuya that he had a broken wrist.

"Your hand fractures happened a few months ago," Qiuya, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, showed his head, and complained to Dazai at the door, "It's just such a serious calcium deficiency, how many months?" It's all good to say."

"Okay, it's really good, but Shuya," Dazai showed a pitiful look, "I was accidentally caught by the enemy a few days ago, because of that slug's fault, I received three extra punches."

"Alas..." Qiu Ye sighed helplessly, put down the bowl in his hand, dried his hands and walked over.

The black satin tie slipped across Qiuya's hand. He wrapped the tie around Dazai's neck, leaned closer to the other's neck, and tied it into a beautiful Windsor knot as Dazai taught him before.And the head above the bow tie looked down at Qiu Ye's movements with a smile in a good mood, and said, "Speaking of which, have you finally grown a little taller recently?"

"Maybe." After completing the task, Qiuya patted Dazai's chest, indicating that it was done. "But no matter how tall you grow, you can't grow taller by an average of ten centimeters every year."

I have to say that Dazai's height has grown rapidly in the past two years. When we first met, Dazai was still about 1.5 meters, but now he is 1.7 meters and almost 1.8 meters.On the other hand, Qiu can only watch him grow taller. In the past two years, he has only grown ten centimeters in total.But Qiu also felt that it was not a big problem, after all, he was only 15 years old and still in his growth period.

Moreover, his current height seems to be a little taller than Dazai's height when he was 15 years old, so it's really not a big problem.But he never thought that in two months he would say goodbye to 15 years old and welcome 16 years old, and the 16-year-old Dazai was taller than him at this time.

"I have to buy clothes again when Qiu Ye grows taller," Dazai sighed, and his tone became eccentric, "Sure enough, raising a Xiao Qiu is not cheap at all."

"Well, I'll return it to you when the volunteer in my library becomes a regular worker," Qiu Ye blinked her pale green eyes, feeling that it would be unrealistic not to buy clothes, after all, the kimono she's wearing now is really It's a bit small, so he found a compromise, "It's about two or three months, and I can get a salary when I'm 16. Also, please don't add the word 'small' to my name, I'm a Here comes the man."

"Are you going to move out after Qiuya has money?" Dazai asked, ignoring the complaint.

"Hmm..." Qiu Ye looked up at the ceiling, pointing his finger at his chin and hesitated for a while, "I probably won't for the time being, because the salary will be given to you first, as a reward for the past two years."

"Hey, is it true that in Shuya's eyes, repaying my kindness is measured by money?" Dazai's tone became even weirder.

"No, uh, as a friend, it's priceless," Qiuya hurriedly waved his hands to explain, "but giving you the salary I got is the best way I can think of for the time being. After all, the two I also caused you trouble here in [-], and it did take up resources."

"... Shuya, what a good boy." Dazai sighed softly as he looked at the young man in front of him who had been explaining in a panic.

"Because I promised my grandfather before that I would be a good person," Qiu Ye's voice also dropped, "but I don't want 'children' or anything like that. I'm almost 16 years old."

"16 years old..." Dazai raised his head, thought about his 16 years old, then chuckled, reached out and brushed the slightly longer hair hanging beside Qiuya's face, "Does Qiuya want to become an adult? It takes something to be an adult."

"What do you pay for?" Shuya grabbed Dazai's hand and held it in both hands, asking.

"You want to know?" Dazai's smile deepened, and he slightly bent down and asked in front of Shuya's face.

"I really want to know, but aren't you also a minor?" Qiu Ye said, looking at the underage friend who just turned 18 not long ago.

"But I'm a mafia, and I've known the world of adults a long time ago," Dazai said.

"..." Shuya, who mentioned the mafia, fell silent, and he blinked and looked at Dazai while trying to maintain a normal expression.

"Well, I'll tell you about my lord's affairs when I come back tonight." Dazai straightened up, picked up the windbreaker on the clothes rail at hand and draped it over his shoulders, "By the way, there is a celebration party tonight, it will be later return."

Hearing the words 'celebration meeting', Qiu Ye frowned vigilantly.He is too familiar with this word. Two years ago, Dazai said that he went to the celebration party and came back late. As a result, when Qiuya came back from shopping all afternoon and at night, what he saw was a friend lying in the bathtub and cutting his wrists.

"Then when will you go out and when will you come back?" He cast doubtful eyes on Dazai and asked.

"Akiya, do you know what you look like now?" Dazai waved an index finger in front of Akiya, "You look like a wife who wants to check if her husband is having an affair at the banquet."

"I'll be angry." Qiu Ye said blankly.

"Well," Dazai's tone returned to normal, "It's a normal celebration party, and I'll be back in the evening."

"It's better really," Shuya told Dazai to turn around, and then pushed his back to let him go out, "If you trick me into committing suicide inside the house, I'll sue Oda-san for bullying me."

This is a good idea he found in the past two years. When he complained about Dazai's behavior to Oda Sakunosuke, Dazai would tell him when he came back in a few days that he was stopped by Mr. Oda and verbally educated Can't do that.

That's why Shuya thinks that whenever Dazai is in doubt, going to Oda-san is the best solution.

"Ah, if that's the case, Shuya is too cunning." Dazai, who was being pushed out, looked sideways at the boy and complained.

"Well, I think so too." Shuya nodded, confirming that Dazai had been pushed out of the door, "Then, be careful on the road." After speaking, he closed the iron door of the apartment.

He has to wash the dishes quickly, and then take the rice balls and snacks to the restaurant where the children are.

Today's plan is not to teach the children to read, but to take them for an outing on a nearby hillside.Although the season for viewing cherry blossoms has passed, last time Sakule accidentally discovered Shuya's "spring flowers and autumn fall" ability, and shouted to take a closer look. It happened that the boys wanted to catch dragonflies. So he proposed this picnic plan with Oda Sakunosuke.

"Extraordinary power—spring flowers fall in autumn." As the voice fell, a piece of land in front of Saki Le saw sprouts, branches and leaves visible to the naked eye, and then blossomed.

"Teacher Qiuya, that's amazing!" The four-year-old girl shouted, she reached out to touch the newly grown plant, then raised her head to look at the boy in front of her, her face full of surprise.

"This is for little Sakile, they also say that Sakule is cute." Qiuya smiled and stretched out his hand to touch Sakule's head, and pinned one of the small pink wind chimes to her hair .

Sure enough, girls are the best.

Qiu also said with emotion in his heart.The rest of the boys who followed, including Shinji, who usually looks quieter and likes to read, ran around on the hillside with insect nets.The only girl left was Xiao Le who was still by his side, accompanying him to prepare picnic things and pick flowers.

"The snacks and rice balls are bothering you, Shuya-kun." Footsteps came from behind, it was Oda Sakunosuke.

"Mr. Oda." Shuya nodded in greeting.

"Odasaku!" Saku Le looked at the young man who was coming, and handed him some flowers he had picked in his hand, "This! Decorate it later when you can have a picnic!"

"It's pretty good, Saku Le." The man squatted down and touched Saku Le's head, carefully avoiding the small wind chime pinned to it, "You have the talent to be a flower arranger in the future."

"Really?" The girl opened her eyes wide and tilted her head in doubt.

Qiu Ye chuckled: "Really, it's very beautiful. After I open a flower shop, I will invite you to be the flower arranger of the flower shop."

The little girl who was praised gave a cry of surprise, and ran to the picnic cloth under the big tree in the distance with both hands protecting the flowers she picked, planning to find a vase to decorate them.

"Akiya-kun's supernatural ability is as gentle as Shuya-kun." Looking at the running figure of the little girl, Odasaku sighed softly.

"Ah, it's actually just a supernatural ability with little offensive power." Shuya said, "But recently, it seems to have gradually discovered another use for it, thanks to Dazai."

"Also," Shuya handed the purple iris flower he had just picked to the man, "it said Mr. Oda's feeling is also very gentle."

It was iris season, and the purple irises made him feel a little like someone.So he decided to pick some and bring them home as new decorations for the apartment.

He looked up at the sky, thinking.There are no clouds in the summer sky in Yokohama, and the sky is also a beautiful blue. Thanks to the colder winter this year, the arrival of the season has been delayed, and the weather is not as hot as imagined.

"Speaking of which, the bookmark given to Mr. Oda a long time ago, that flower was made by supernatural powers." Shuya recalled the past, and said, "Originally there were two flowers, and one was given to Dazai directly. The other flower was made into a bookmark that can be kept forever, and I gave it to you."

"Is that so? I didn't expect this to have a layer of fate." Oda Sakunosuke said with emotion.

"Yeah," Shuya nodded, "And then he pinched my face for a long time after he knew that what he gave you was a flower that could be kept forever." It was also that incident that became the opportunity to send a book to Dazai.

"...Is this jealous?" Oda, who had been misunderstood the relationship between the two, complained in a low voice.

Qiu Ya, who didn't hear anything clearly, looked away, and looked sideways at the man next to him, "By the way, Mr. Oda, please help me cut my hair when I get back."

Dazai brushed his hair this morning, making him feel like his hair has grown long again.Since the incident at the age of 12, he never dared to grow his hair long.

"It's fine." Oda Sakunosuke looked at the boy in front of him, "But it's okay. Don't let Dazai cut it." Such an act of holding scissors near one's neck is generally more intimate People will be better.

"...Why did Dazai cut it? That guy would cut my hair and make it uglier than when you first saw me more than three years ago." Shuya couldn't understand what Oda Sakunosuke said at all. Said.In the past two years, it's not that he hasn't asked Dazai to cut his hair, but...it's really hard to say.
