Luo Shengmeng has no feelings today

Lupine Bar.

Dazai Osamu, Oda Sakunosuke, Sakaguchi Ango, and Akutagawa Ryunosuke who always tricked Dazai into coming, unknowingly became a small group that occasionally got together and had conversations.

The only real friend Akutagawa Ryunosuke can trust is Oda Sakunosuke, and the complicated identities of Sakaguchi Ango and Dazai Osamu are just people who can talk.

"Mr. Akutagawa, why do I always fail when I commit suicide?"

The yellowish warm light of the bar passes through the wine glass, refracting the dazzling light,

Osamu Dazai, who has completely exposed his suicidal tendencies, once complained weakly, "Either he floated in the river for hundreds of meters without dying, and was finally picked up, or he hung on a rope for several minutes without dying, and was finally cut off by someone. It’s really not going well to be rescued, why do I always get rescued.”

He waved his arms and shouted loudly: "Is there no safe and easy way to commit suicide!"

"That's right, it's really not easy for an indecisive creature like a human to die alone." Akutagawa replied unsurprisingly: "The survival instinct of a creature works in the brain, and it often prevents your suicide."

It's like being in the slums when he was young, like being picked up by the Dominique family in the past, even if he had no expectations of life, looked at the hellish world, and thought countless times that he could just die like this, but he still instinctively Struggling to continue the despicable heartbeat in his chest.

At that time, Akutagawa Ryunosuke had already realized the difficulty of self-sufficiency.

In the end, at that time, he could only force himself to carry out the commission with injuries, and in which mission he wanted to end his life by external force.

...until I met Mr. R.

"Then how do we do it well?" Osamu Dazai leaned over, blinking his eyes, seeking advice from the teacher he admired.

"If it's you, Dazai, then you might as well go find your companion who committed suicide."

Akutagawa thought for a while, tilted his head, with his black and white hair on his temples pressed against his face, calmly looked at Dazai's face with those dark eyes and said, as if discussing [what to eat tomorrow] naturally:

"You are never the only one who wants to die in this world. If so, it shouldn't be difficult for you to find a springboard? For example, if you die in love with a woman who also hates life, if you have someone to accompany you, it will bring a sense of security. It's easier for you to close your eyes."

"After all, your words... lack the feeling of peace of mind."

Osamu Dazai propped his face, tilted his head, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Ango Sakaguchi, who had everything in mind, complained blankly: "Hey, hey, what kind of dangerous topic are you talking about? What's wrong with being alive?"

"Human beings are both afraid of death and attracted by this one-time death. Even in literature, death is constantly being consumed. It is not a strange thing to seek death, Sakaguchi-kun." Akutagawa replied , "After all, not everyone is willing to continue living. If living can only feel emptiness and pain, death is the supreme relief."

"...What kind of world-weary duo is this?" Ango Sakaguchi covered his face, "No wonder Osamu Dazai admires you so much, you two are essentially the same type, right? Suicide lovers? "

"No." Akutagawa denied it without hesitation, "I can't die right now, so I won't choose to commit suicide anyway."

Before the family members can live independently, before Mr. R's current situation is determined, before he judges himself worthless.

Akutagawa would not choose the path of suicide.

……

A week later.

Six pm.

The busy work of the Mafia is over, and Oda Sakunosuke hastily visited Akutagawa's house.

The one who opened the door was Gin, who was still wearing a student uniform, with an apron tied around her waist, and trotted over to open the door, followed by five little devils—the children of the Oda family.

"Odasaku!" Xingsuke rushed over happily.

There was one person who took the lead, and Sakule and the others threw themselves directly on Odasaku's waist. The man with reddish brown hair bent down gently and touched the children's heads.

"Didn't you cause trouble to others?"

"Not at all!" Xingjie wiped his nose, held his head high, and said, "I helped Elder Sister Yin with things."

Oda Saku smiled, and then seriously bowed slightly to Akutagawa Gin.

"I have troubled you to pick them up from school these days, Silver."

"No, it's not a problem at all."

Yin also bowed in return:

"Anyway, Lihai University Elementary School is just on my way home, and everyone is a good boy. When I stop by the supermarket to buy vegetables, they will help me carry things."

"By the way, Mr. Oda, do you want to come to our house for dinner?"

Yin gently clasped his hands together, and said in a gentle tone, "I cooked curry, I remember that Mr. Oda likes to eat this, right? The children should stay too, otherwise they will help you so much and smell the fragrance for so long, but in the end It would be a pity not to eat it.”

Oda Sakunosuke, "Huh? Not too good, your family already has ten people, and if we add six of us..."

"Don't worry about this, because in our family, five people went out with their classmates. It seems to be a gathering of clubs or something, and there is something to discuss. In short, we won't be at home for dinner tonight."

Gin walked up and pulled Oda Sakunosuke in, "So, there are five seats vacant, just add another chair, come in, if friends come to visit, brother Ryunosuke will definitely be happy of."

……

Akutagawa’s house is a 90-square-meter rented apartment on the second floor. It’s not too big. There are three rooms, but there are ten people living in it. Therefore, the whole room is unavoidably crowded, but it’s not depressing at all. Everything is neatly organized, and there is a breath of life everywhere.

"Xingsuke, Sakule, can you call Sayaka and the others for dinner? It's that room."

"Yes! Sister Yin."

"Then, for you guys, can you go to the kitchen with me to help pack curry?" Silver bent down and said to the other three children.

"Yes--"

"Then, Mr. Oda." Yin gently rubbed the head of a child, then looked at the man beside him:

"Can you go to that room and call for my brother? He is obsessed with writing. If no one calls, he will definitely forget to eat."

"what."

The man who obeyed the arrangement nodded.

It's not the first time to visit Akutagawa's house, so Oda Sakunosuke is quite familiar with it.

He knocked on the door of Ryunosuke Akutagawa's room, "It's me, Sakunosuke Oda, can you come in?"

A promise soon came from the room.

Oda Saku walked in, closed the door smoothly, glanced at his friend who was sitting at the desk, bowing his head and writing something calmly, and asked casually, "Are you writing a new article?"

"En." Akutagawa replied without raising his head.The three-flowered cat Kinnosuke was lying on the table, looking up at Akutagawa Ryunosuke's manuscript from time to time, and then put his head on his two paws again, flicking his tail casually.

"The publishing house wants to serialize a long novel, and I'm sorting out my thoughts now... I haven't written a long novel before, so it's a little tricky for me to construct an interesting story while maintaining artistry."

Akutagawa said while writing, and he put down the pen after finishing the remaining paragraph, leaning back on the chair, he turned to look at his friend beside him.

"It's rare to see you coming to pick up the children at this time. Is it the end of work? Your sudden troublesome task."

"not yet."

Oda Sakunosuke sighed, and scratched his short hair wearily, "Ango's whereabouts are still unknown, and Dazai and I were ordered to search. At present, we have some clues... It is related to an outside organization."

Four days ago, the whereabouts of Ango Sakaguchi, an important intelligence officer of the Port Mafia, was unknown. Because he had in possession of countless confidential information, the upper echelon of the Mafia paid special attention to it, and sent a cadre and a friend of Ango Sakaguchi—albeit a low-level staff member. , but Oda Sakunosuke, who has excellent strength and abilities, went to investigate this matter.

The situation seemed unexpectedly bad. Even Osamu Dazai, who was so fanatical about Akutagawa, hadn't come to climb the window for four days.

But Akutagawa is not interested, and never intends to ask, "If you can't say it, it doesn't matter if you don't tell me, I didn't plan to get involved in that side."

"I haven't thanked you yet... for being willing to pick up my children."

Odasaku smiled: "I wanted them to stay at home and not walk around casually for the sake of safety, but those children like school very much. I don't know how long it will take for my work to be completed. I can't let them ask for leave all the time. But... if those children go to and from school alone like before, I really can't feel at ease anyway."

"I don't want to kill people, and the low-level employee Oda Sakunosuke who has been responsible for the dirty and tiring work at the bottom all year round is suddenly dispatched to a dangerous mission, and the person who happened to happen to be my friend... If you think about it normally, it's natural to feel uneasy Something." Akutagawa Ryunosuke raised his eyes and said:

"And you have adopted five children who are most likely to be kidnapped. Naturally, no matter how you think about it, you can't rest assured. You can work in the mafia and do odd jobs, but this time... Hey, Oda-kun, Xuehe The smell of gunpowder smoke still lingers on you, and it hasn't dissipated at all."

"Ah, is that so?" Oda Sakunosuke sniffed the scent on his body, "As expected of Akutagawa, you are so sensitive."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke stood up with a sigh, and the three-flowered cat Kinnosuke also jumped to the ground.

"The children are too young to protect themselves. Most of the people you know are members of the mafia, and the only ones you can trust are Ango Sakaguchi and Osamu Dazai. But one of them disappeared, and the other was arrested with you." Involved in the incident, and ordinary people have no ability to protect them, thinking about it this way..."

Akutagawa tilted his head slightly, and lightly tapped his chest with the five fingers of his left hand:

"...Only someone who is a person with different abilities, possesses force value, and is also your friend can help you."

……

Akutagawa Ryunosuke is the secret of a person with supernatural powers, which was revealed by Osamu Dazai.

After all, the fanatic book fan Osamu Dazai touched his body several times at close range, and Rashomon was wiped out of consciousness by Dazai Osamu's ability [Disqualification in the World] many times, which was enough for him to understand the reason, and then gave birth to an extremely strong sense of crisis and rejection awareness.

As the master of Rashomon, Akutagawa Ryunosuke naturally sensed the abnormal emotions of his own abilities.

So, the fact that both parties are people with different abilities was exposed like this.

Unlike Dazai Osamu's passively triggered ability [Disqualification in the World], Rashomon's unique existence with self-awareness has not been exposed. In addition, Akutagawa Ryunosuke basically doesn't use his ability unless necessary, so , Dazai, Odasaku, and Sakaguchi Ango, only know that Akutagawa has supernatural powers, but they don't know the name and specific effects.

However, Oda Sakunosuke was inexplicably sure that the opponent was very strong.

After all, even he himself has never seen the slightest flaw in Akutagawa Ryunosuke, a young man who seems to be a frail writer.

All the time, keep vigilant instinctively.

The same goes for the boys and girls of the Akutagawa family, Gin, Sayaka, Rin, Yuuji... Everyone has smooth and beautiful muscles in their limbs, and every move has the best chance to respond to the attack.

It's all instinct.

If Oda Sakunosuke wanted to entrust the children to whom, no one would be more suitable than his friend Akutagawa Ryunosuke.

"thank you very much."

Oda Sakunosuke bowed respectfully, "Obviously you don't want to get involved with that side anyway, but you are still willing to lend a helping hand to me."

"...No way, although the possibility of your children having an accident is not high, you should always be on the safe side." Akutagawa Ryunosuke clicked his tongue, "There is no way to leave you alone and turn a blind eye to the difficulties of your friends... ...My teacher will definitely reprimand me severely... Also, if you have to say thank you, go talk to Yin and the others."

"As your friends, I have no reason to refuse, but Yin...they who have nothing to do with you but are willing to lend a helping hand are truly gentle and kind existences."

"Ah, I will solemnly thank them."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke walked to the door of the room without looking sideways, and turned the doorknob.

He turned sideways:

"Before that, let's settle your troublesome matter first, Oda-kun."

Akutagawa tilted his head: "Let's go."

"what?"

"Didn't you come to invite me to eat? You are here, which means that kid Yin definitely invited you to stay for dinner."

"...I really understand."

"Of course." Akutagawa's tone was steady, but his words were clear: "After all, Yin is my proud younger sister."
