On the basement of Furocho, Yokohama, in Lupin Bar, Osamu Dazai is sitting on a high stool, lying on the bar counter, rubbing his fingers with the spherical ice cube in the wine glass in front of him, and the translucent distilled wine collides with the ice cube and the wine glass , while shaking.

This bar is a place where he often meets with friends. Although it is a party, it is actually just a coincidence to have a glass of wine, chat and so on.The owner of the bar, who is also a bartender, has known him for a long time, and today he still refused the distilled wine he ordered with added concentrated sulfuric acid with a flat face.

The wind chimes at the door of the bar rang, and then there were footsteps, and new guests came.The three-flowered cat sitting on the high stool stood up, walked lightly to another place, and made room for the black-haired young man lying there.

"As expected, you are here, Dazai." The new guest who came in, that is, Oda Sakunosuke said with some helplessness in his tone.He is one of Dazai Osamu's few friends, and he has already reached the legal drinking age, so Lupine's friends will definitely be his party.

"Good evening, Odasaku." Dazai, who was lying there, turned his head and greeted Odasaku, "Listen to me, Odasaku, tonight I invited Shuya and I came with him, but he refused on the grounds that minors cannot enter the bar."

"Well, it's really like Shuya-kun's style." Oda Sakunosuke thought of the boy in kimono, nodded and said, then turned his head and waved skillfully to the boss inside the counter. : "As always, thanks."

"Although with Shuya's personality, he wouldn't go to a bar," Dazai straightened up, his expression becoming a little disconvinced, "but the point is that he rejected me. Shuya, who promised me everything, turned me down. .”

"According to my understanding, Shuya-kun quite often refuses you, for example, there are crabs in the dinner recipe." Oda Sakunosuke was calm, but the boss handed it over, turned to look at Dazai and said, " And you should not be arguing now, I have seen the bandaging of the redundant wounds on your body."

"Ah this? It was left when I rushed to the bathroom during the fight a few days ago. Can you see the bandage marks?" Dazai asked, looking at the bandaged place of the new wound.

"If you're in a hurry to go to the toilet, there's nothing you can do, but for the time being, you can see the traces of the bandage that Shuya-kun gave you." Oda Sakunosuke picked up the glass and took a sip, "After all, you can see that the bandage on the wound is newer. .”

"Odasaku's observation ability is really delicate." Dazai sighed, "And then, can you see anything?"

"Well," Oda Saku looked at Dazai next to him, hesitated for a moment, "I don't know if it's an illusion, I feel that you are not in a good mood. But I saw Shuya-kun's expression quite normal a few days ago."

"Almost," Dazai looked down at the glass of distilled wine in front of him, propped his chin and began to poke the ice cubes in the glass with his index finger, and said softly, "I want to get him."

"... Huh?" Oda Sakunosuke wondered if he heard it wrong.

"I want to get him." Dazai repeated what he just said, stopped playing with the ice cubes with his right hand, flicked his index finger and thumb against the glass wall, and the glass made a crisp "ding—" sound.

"Ah..." Oda Saku, who had always thought that the relationship between the two of them was better than ordinary friends two years ago, didn't know what to say for a while.

"However, when you get what you have in hand, you will lose it in the next moment." Dazai picked up the wine glass, held it high in front of the light and observed it carefully, "Things that you don't want to lose will definitely be lost."

"...I don't think Shuya-kun will leave Dazai behind." Oda Sakunosuke said, and he remembered the story that Shuya described when he went to a picnic with the children two months ago, the two of them in the old book alley, "And if Dazai doesn't give it a try, how will he know if Shuya-kun feels the same way about you?"

"...I said it." Dazai said softly, took a sip of wine, "Two months ago, a night with a beautiful moonlight." Dazai recalled the night of the full moon in the midsummer two months ago, and his expression gradually faded. Becoming disgusted, "The guy talked to me with that 'Long live friendship' look on his face after I did something that a bunch of friends wouldn't do."

"Obviously he likes Natsume-sensei's works the most, so the obvious meaning can't be seen." Dazai complained, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with the sentence he proposed at the time. It made him feel something, but Shuya is really an idiot—”

"Pfft, maybe Shuya-kun is still young, he should... be exactly 16 years old?" Oda Sakunosuke smiled and looked at the friend sitting next to him, "Sure enough, love is like coughing, you can't help it. "

As if agreeing with Oda Sakunosuke's point of view, the three-flowered cat at the far side of the bar let out a "meow--" in response to his voice.

This guy Dazai was obviously still talking pessimistic words like gaining is losing, but in the past two months, he couldn't help but do something to make people feel it.

"I already knew a lot of things when I was 16." Dazai retorted, and then made a definition for himself, "Sure enough, Qiu is just an idiot."

"It probably means that the person who likes first loses." Oda Sakunosuke finally defined, then turned his head to drink and ignored Dazai's complaints.

"Speaking of which—I almost left with you back then." Dazai suddenly remembered something, stopped his funny expression and said seriously, "If I hadn't met him covered in blood in Old Book Lane back then, maybe There would be no such thing as now.”

Shuya, who was taken away by Odasaku, will be the same as those five children. The only mafia he can encounter is the good old Odasaku, and he will not be there.Then the bond between him and Qiu Ye will be cut off directly from the "friendship", instead of being entangled with "friendship" as it is now.

"But you haven't regretted it, have you?" Oda said, "And I also feel that you are actively maintaining this relationship. For example, two years ago, you asked me to directly reject the restaurant owner to Qiuya-kun. part-time job."

"It's really sharp, Odasaku." Dazai sighed again.At that time, if Qiuya had a part-time job with a decent hourly salary like a restaurant salary, he would soon move out to live a hard but independent life. In that case, the weak bond that was finally connected would become extremely fragile. up.

"Compared to your words, I'm probably still far behind." Oda Saku, who really concealed his part-time job in the restaurant, said. : "Besides, the Qiuya-kun at that time will not meet me." At that time, he had just met Saku Le, and took her back to resettle.

Oda Sakunosuke put down his wine glass, raised his head and looked at his friend seriously: "So there is no if, the meeting between you and Shuya-kun is inevitable." He doesn't know whether it is inevitable to develop such a relationship, but if this can make the They both had a good time with each other, and that couldn't be better.

"...Sure enough, sometimes I feel that you are a bit like Qiuya." They are all very gentle people.Dazai finished the words in his heart.

"In terms of age, Shuya-kun should be like me," Oda Sakunosuke complained, "Even if you like someone, you can't put him in front of an older person and say he is similar."

"Then Shuya looks a bit like you." Dazai changed the order very smoothly.

"That's probably because I treat Shuya-kun as a junior." Oda Sakunosuke replied thinking about the way he and Shuya get along.

"Coincidentally, he also told me before that he regards you as an elder." Dazai began to support his cheeks again, and took out his mobile phone from his pocket with his right hand, opened the cover and typed.

"Ah, are you jealous?" Oda Sakunosuke said belatedly.

"No, that's not the case." Dazai closed the lid after sending the email, and looked at Odasaku, "After all, in my eyes, Shuya who texts you from time to time to complain is the same as a child who complained to his father."

"Hey, I'm seven years older than Qiu Ye-kun, so I can be regarded as a father or something..."

"Yeah," Dazai said in a perfunctory tone, "Odasaku's father, please give me your son Shuya."

"I said it's not dad." Oda Sakunosuke sighed, "If you have a good life together, I will bless you."

"Meow—" The cat on the side responded again.The meow of the cat named 'Teacher' seemed to conclude the conversation between the two of them. After that, Osamu Dazai and Sakunosuke Oda sat quietly on the high stool and drank.

The wind chime at the door rang again. With the sound of footsteps, Dazai came out of the quiet atmosphere first: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, Ango."

The person who came was Ango Sakaguchi, who had just returned from Tokyo, another friend Osamu Dazai met during the Dragon Head War.

"It's raining in Tokyo, and this business trip has become very troublesome." Ango complained, walked to the empty seat on the other side of Dazai and sat down, and said to the boss: "I won't drink anything alcoholic today, I drove."

"Ah, I forgot that you can order non-alcoholic drinks." After hearing Ango's order to the boss, Dazai nodded his chin and said, "Then if you don't want to come over next time, just say there are non-alcoholic drinks here." Give him a drink."

"I don't think he will come over," Oda Sakunosuke said, "Shuya-kun will worry about getting you into trouble, so he probably won't agree."

"Akiya-kun...?" Ango, who was familiar with the name, repeated it.

"Yes, the lovely Shuya." Osamu Dazai turned his head to face Ango and nodded with a smile, "It's the Shuya you've always wanted to see."

As he spoke, he took out his flip phone and turned it on in front of Anwu, "Would you like to take a look? There are photos of him in it."

Halloween is responsible for the small story, it seems not small (the plot involves a lot of spoilers, if you don’t want to watch... there should be none)

The timeline is: Dazai is 20 years old and Shuya is 18 years old.

At noon, after completing his school courses, Qiu also came to the fourth floor where the Armed Detective Agency was located, the office where he worked part-time.As soon as the door was opened, a black figure leaped out from inside, and Jiang Qiuya was startled and even took two steps back.

"Trickortreat!!" Dazai, wearing an inexplicable black cloak, rushed towards Shuya with a pumpkin basket and shouted.He was the one who scared Qiu Ye just now.

"This kind of behavior is not suitable for you anymore, Mr. Dazai, who is already 20 years old." After finding out that he was his lover, Qiuya came to his senses, and walked into the office with a calm expression, "This festival should belong to Kosuke-kun and the others." right."

He casually took the pumpkin basket from Dazai's hand, and saw that there were already a lot of snacks in it, as well as some strange items - even Mr. Kunikida's broken pen.

Shuya sighed, thinking of Mr. Kunikida's anger exploding in his mind.

Putting the basket on a corner of his desk, Qiu Ye sat down and opened a file, and began to sort out the information brought by using the derivative move of "Spring Flowers and Autumn Falls" in the past few days. .

"Why is there no one in the office?" Asked Shuya, who was flipping through the records and writing something. After he sat down, Dazai took off the black cloak on his body, and leaned against the armrest of Qiuya's seat. up.

"They're all having lunch at the coffee shop downstairs," Dazai pulled up Shuya who was working, and walked towards the sofa. "After all, not everyone is like me, and they will have lunch."

"Mr. Ranpo said this case is very important..." Qiu Ye, who was forced to leave his job, complained helplessly.

Dazai pushed Qiuya to sit on the sofa, and he lay down on Qiuya's lap very smoothly, and said loudly with his hands behind his head: "It's lunch break now, lunch break."

The lunch break is the break at noon. It is impossible for him to work, and it is impossible for Qiu Ye to work by the way.

"Alas..." Shuya sighed, but pushed Dazai away and let him sit up.

"This information needs to be sorted out before get off work," Qiuya explained in a good-tempered manner, leaned over to Dazai and kissed the corner of his mouth, got up and returned to his desk, "As compensation, I will prepare it for you tonight." 'Candy'."
