Because winter mornings come late, and Qiuya no longer has the task of getting up early to make breakfast, so Qiuya, who had nothing to do, naturally stayed in bed.When he got up from the quilt, he was the only one in this small room, probably Dazai had already left for his new job.

Qiu also stretched on the bed, and slowly crawled out of the quilt.But he froze after moving a bit, because he felt a strange feeling in his body under the quilt.

As if it was a skill that all teenagers can learn without a teacher on their growth path, after Qiu Ye roughly understood what was going on with him, he buried himself back under the blanket.First, adjust yourself to a side-lying posture with the waist arched like a shrimp.

The feet buried in the quilt were stepping hard on the quilt inside, and Qiu Ye had already closed his pair of light green eyes, but he found that by doing so, he could only relieve himself of the pain caused by the wound on his lungs. The gasping and coughing sounds are heard more clearly.

Probably because the eyes were closed and the eyes were completely dark, a picture began to automatically appear in Qiuya's mind.These pictures are all related to a certain person, that is, Dazai Osamu, whom he regards as his most important friend.The guy's perfect jawline first came to mind, then the beautiful iris-colored eyes, and then... last night's kiss that made Qiu feel very gentle and soft.

Letting go of her hand as if suddenly touching something hot, Qiu also stopped moving and hurriedly crawled out of the bed.The cold winter morning was no longer cold to this young man whose face was already flushed.I saw him muttering "I'm sorry, I'm sorry", while digging out his winter kimono from the cabinet and putting it on his body, he hurriedly opened the door and went out to the public bathroom on the first floor to take a bath.

When the warm water was sprinkled on her body, Qiu also scrubbed vigorously, as if this could wash away the strange thoughts about her best friend in her mind.However, it didn't help much, because the strange places on his body were still strange, and he didn't have the courage to take a cold shower like Dazai did last night in this cold winter.

It took me an hour to take a bath. Fortunately, most of the people in the apartment had gone to work at this time, so Qiuya was able to spend such a long time in the bathroom quietly.He didn't put on his kimono until he had completely calmed down, took a few deep breaths, and returned to the small one-room house.

"It's been a long time since you went to take a bath, Shuya." Dazai, who came back to the house in the morning, greeted Shuya when he entered the door with his head down.

"...Ah! Morning, good morning." Suddenly realizing that Dazai, who was supposed to be working outside, was in this house, Shuya greeted Dazai stumblingly, and his face turned red again.

Because after seeing this face, he thought of the things he did when he got up in the morning, and he felt extremely ashamed.

"..." Dazai noticed Qiuya's abnormality, put back the smile on his face, quietly watched the other party's awkward movement into the door, and did not speak again.

Shuya walked in the door with his head down, avoiding Dazai's gaze.There is no way, Dazai's eyes are so beautiful, and he often feels that those iris-colored eyes can easily see people's hearts clearly.Whenever Qiu Ye was looked directly at by those eyes, Qiu Ye would unknowingly pour out all the thoughts in his heart.

But this time, Qiu also thought that he absolutely couldn't let his good friend know what he did just now while his friend was away.So this is also the behavior of Shuya avoiding Dazai since the first time we met.

After entering the door, he lowered his head, passed by Dazai as if he hadn't come home yet, knelt down without saying a word, packed up the unfolded quilt left over from his hurried departure in the morning, and then opened the cupboard to put it in.And his friend, Osamu Dazai kept his eyes on him after he entered the door and said hello, without moving away, but he didn't speak.

This small room became very quiet for a while, but it was not the warm and quiet a month ago. Now the quiet reveals a trace of embarrassment.Shu didn't know how Dazai was feeling now, but at least he felt that it made him a little suffocated.

"...You came back so early today." He dragged the coffee table in the corner back to the center, knelt down and lowered his head, speaking in a low voice, trying to break the awkward atmosphere.

Dazai still didn't speak, he walked from the window of the room to the side of the coffee table, sat on the opposite side of Qiuya, still staring at Qiuya's face.

"... Dazai?" Shuya called softly.

"It's nothing," Dazai said, and the smile returned to his face, "This new job requires me to go on a business trip, for several years."

Qiu also frowned, he felt that Dazai's smile was very different from the smiles he had seen before, and it felt quite fake.

"Then... I'll pack my luggage, and then we'll go together." Because Dazai is actually looking for this house now, and he doesn't know how long he can live in.Shuya, who only knows Dazai alone, naturally wants to leave with him.

"No, you stay here." Dazai said, holding Shuya's shoulders when he was about to get up, and let him continue to sit on his knees, "After all, this is just my job."

"...What about me?" Qiu Ye asked, her tone was disbelieving, and her light blue eyes stared at the man in front of her because she was too surprised.

Dazai has already said that this is a business trip for several years.If he stayed here and Dazai left, he would be alone here now.

"You stay in Yokohama," Dazai said in a natural tone, "There is a newly opened flower shop in the next street, you can try to recruit, after all, the flower shop is your wish, isn't it?"

"What about you? Where's Mr. Oda? Where are my two students who are still alive?!" Shuya couldn't help asking Dazai with a more serious tone, and he even felt his breathing became heavier.

"Of course I'm on a business trip. According to my judgment, it should take two years." Dazai's tone was still relaxed, as if he didn't feel the change in Shuya's mood, "Oda Saku and his two remaining children are also going to leave now. Hide, after all, if the information that he is alive is exposed, such an act is considered a defection to the port mafia."

Perhaps it was a matter of Dazai's tone of voice. After hearing these words, Qiu also had an inexplicable feeling that he was abandoned here.Tears were completely unbearable, flowing from the eyes, the light blue eyes became more transparent because of them, Qiu Ye's expression also looked more pitiful.

"I don't want to be like this! This looks like you have completely cut me off from your world!" He yelled at this vile man with a crying voice. Got angry.

"It's something that can't be helped, Shuya." Dazai said, still in that tone of beating.He stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on Qiu Ye's cheeks, and said with a disobedient smile, "After all, I am going to the other side of the ocean, New York. I can't bring you who can't even speak English. of."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Qiu Ye who couldn't refute for a while, but was so wronged, and felt that this seemed even more pitiful.He lowered his hand to the lower part of Qiuya's left chest wrapped in a kimono, where the ribs were a few upwards: "And Qiuya, your wound hasn't fully healed yet, so you can't take a plane."

The bullet was shot at close range. Generally, it is impossible to survive if the bullet is shot in the lungs at close range.When he saw Qiuya in the rainstorm, his kimono was already stained red with blood.That red color was much more dazzling than the bloodstain on his body when he was 15 years old and met Qiu Ye in the Dragon Head War.

It may be that Chief Mori's medical skills are really good, or it may be that Qiuya's consciousness of survival is really strong, and he survived in the end.However, for more than a month, he was completely below the benchmark for his lung rehabilitation.

Dazai's explanation and comfort were completely useless, and Shuya continued to cry.Even in the middle of crying, because the wound was not completely healed, I couldn't breathe and started coughing again.

"Cough...cough..."

"Let's talk about it, you can't take a plane like this." Dazai said, reaching out to pat Shuya on the back to make him feel better.

"..." Qiu also didn't speak, he was still very sad.Whether it is the body that is still injured now, or the heart that knows that Dazai is going to leave, it is very uncomfortable.

Originally, his connection with Yokohama was quite weak. Six years ago, only Grandpa Yasuo was alone, and after that, only Dazai and Oda Sakunosuke.Then three years ago, Grandpa Yasuo left forever, and his contacts remained Dazai and Mr. Oda, plus the five students he taught to read.More than a month ago, Mr. Oda and the remaining two children had to hide, and they also left Shuya, and the only contact with him was Dazai.

And now, Dazai said he was leaving too, and asked Shuya to find a new connection.

"Dazai is a bastard! A big idiot!" He couldn't help cursing.

Of course, since he had never scolded anyone before, all the words he could think of were this very monotonous.

"Yeah~" Dazai responded very calmly, making sure that Shuya has recovered and everything is fine, and after he stopped crying, he hugged Shuya and got up, "The work of a flower shop is really suitable for you, then I will go out gone."

"..."

This time, there is no 'be careful on the road' like when I was in the apartment before, every time I go out.Standing at the door, Dazai turned his head sideways to look at Qiuya who was kneeling on the tatami with his head down, obviously still ignoring others, turned back and opened the door and left.
