As a background board, I want to pursue Dazai

Today is actually not busy, and school will start soon. Most of the children in the dojo have calmed down, or told us with a blushing face that we have to go home to catch up with homework. Without the main force of this wave of noise, the dojo is much cleaner.

When I went out, I took two lunch boxes with me. I ate one by myself, and I didn't know what to do with the other.When I finished my morning arrangements, it was almost ten o'clock, and when I returned to my room, I stared at the bento box in a daze.

I have an idea that might be called bold.

I turned on my phone, took a picture of the bento, and sent it to Mr. Dazai.When I was about to give up, I received a reply from him.

【^^ Is this a bear? 】

It's Rilakkuma!Next time I want to try Thirty Gulls.Regaining my confidence, I wrote back:

【Well, it's my first time trying to make a cartoon bento, isn't it good? (emoji: pride)]

【Are there any other patterns? 】

[The kitten was given to Mako, the puppy was given to Sato, the chicken was given to Yoshiyuki, and the puppy was given to Imaken. 】

[There should be more than one, right? 】

I also took a photo of my lunch box and sent it to him.

【Ah, Yijun’s is a little frog^^～】

This is what I planned to eat for myself from the beginning. It has no other meaning, just because the little frog is very cute.

【What did Mr. Dazai have for lunch today? 】

【Hey, no surprise, it's that family restaurant again.There is a new four-person package for office crowds, which is cheap and comes with free gifts. 】

Then add another one.

[But the small toys given as gifts have to be eaten continuously for a week... Please forgive me, Mr. Ranpo and the others dragged me to make up the number of people every day. I have eaten the same lunch for three days, and the Buddha can only tolerate three times ah. 】

Reading his words is like an opportunity specially created for me.But, how to deliver the bento to him?I can't just say send it to him, firstly, it's too presumptuous, and secondly, I don't have time.

Let's make sure first...

【Mr. Dazai, if it’s convenient, why don’t you take this bento?As long as you don’t mind if it’s a cartoon bento, I’m still a little confident in the taste...]

After sending, I put the phone down.

I only exhausted my strength when I sent the message, and I couldn't squeeze out any more courage in the waiting time.I was even a little afraid of hearing the notification tone of the mobile phone message - I was afraid of being rejected, or being avoided by him cleverly and skillfully.

"Forget it." I patted the table, as if to embolden myself, "I'll see later."

Then I put the phone in the drawer and continued to work.I'm not wearing private clothes, but dojo clothes, without pockets.The upper body is white, and the bottom is a dark blue hakama. For convenience, the ends of the hair are also tied up, and then pushed aside to expose the neck, which is also cooler.

I met Guan Kou in the corridor, and he actually joked to me: "Are you in a good mood today?"

I asked, "Why do you say that?"

"Oh, maybe it's just a feeling. It's like when people are entrusted with a great mission, they will become solemn. Well, you're a little light today..." he said, "Maybe it's my illusion? "

"No, maybe you're right."

I don't intend to deny him, I think, so I already have an answer in my heart about how to deal with this bento - I have been expecting to send this bento to someone from the beginning, it's ridiculous that I thought I didn't think.

But the joy and excitement entangled in me is like a mirage in the distance, I can see such a scene across the far pass, and I am still trying to find the location of the oasis.

I suppressed the throbbing that I didn't dare to speak to outsiders, and after finishing a short period of work, I turned on my phone again, but I still didn't receive a reply.

—I think he may be busy.

"For example, to train new people." I said, "or unexpected field work, he can't stay there all day waiting for news from his mobile phone."

I have a dry throat, running around in the shady dojo, still feeling dry from lack of water.

The feeling of exhaustion is not only physical, but also spiritual. It symbolizes the tension and nausea-like tension caused by worrying about gains and losses when I keep walking to pursue a certain goal.No, it’s not quite right to say that it’s about gains and losses. The premise of this word is “already obtained”, which is obviously not true for me.

Then I ran into Gate again in the main hall, and this time he gave me other news.

"Sabito and the others are going to participate in the National Kendo Competition for High School Students." He said, "The teacher has changed his mind again."

"Didn't it mean that they won't compete with others?"

Before I knew the inside story, I was very surprised, but after I learned what they were doing, I thought through this point - the swordsmanship of killing ghosts is not suitable for competition with humans.

I asked, "Does that mean Mr. Rinaki?"

"The teacher said that we should consider the long-term development of the future and the future of the dojo... and if he is gone, how will the next successor manage the dojo." Sekiguchi didn't show any obvious resistance, he didn't have much opinion of Mr. Ryotaki's change , "I was a little surprised at first. After all, the teacher was very persistent before, but I think this is not bad. After all, to maintain the dojo for a long time, popularity is a must. The teacher should want Satu and others to inherit the dojo. , then we must pave the way for them from now on.”

He also said: "The men's and women's competitions are played at different times. The men's competition should start first."

"What about the specific time?"

"It hasn't been decided yet," he said, "but the location should be in Tokyo, and we may go together when the time comes."

"It's not a problem," I said, "I kind of want to go to Tokyo."

"But Wu Yishi, isn't your family, Imaiken, still in primary school? When the time comes, he will be left alone to look after the house? I remember that Mr. Rinaki hasn't come back yet."

"You can ask for leave and go together." I said naturally, "He also likes kendo very much, I will definitely take him with him."

What's more, Jin Jian mentioned not long ago that some of his friends are also in Tokyo, and if he goes there, he can get together with them.

Sekiko said, "Although I agree...wait, but won't this spoil the child too much?"

He was too realistic.After all, Jinjian is not a real elementary school student, so I don't think about that, but Sekiguchi doesn't know!Instead, he worried about my child's academic problems for me.

Seeing that I was silent, he quickly explained to me the importance of the matter: "Nowadays, children have to go to a bunch of cram schools just to avoid losing at the starting line. Although I don't agree with such extremes, I think it is You can’t spoil your child too much, no matter how you say it, you still have to focus on your studies, right?”

I don't know why he, a boy who has not graduated for a few years, is so concerned about early childhood education. Could it be that he has younger brothers and sisters at home?

I couldn't tell him, and I couldn't explain it, so I nodded dumbfoundingly and said, "I see, I will reconsider."

When I was interrupted by the checkpoint, my tight heart was relaxed again. After I devoted myself to work, I gradually forgot about the bento, and it ended up being busy until noon.

After Heseki put the last carton back in place, I wiped the sweat from my brow.

"It's lunch time," he said.

We walked back, and he told me showing off, "My lunch today is a barbecue bento, isn't it very good? What is Wu Yishi's bento today?"

I was about to speak, but he suddenly stretched out his hand——

"Wait! Let me guess, your house must be Tamagoyaki, mashed potatoes, fried chicken nuggets..."

I was amused by him and told him: "Then you guessed wrong."

And when I opened the door and went back to my room, my heart calmed down again.It was very hot at noon, and I turned on the air conditioner, but the heat couldn’t be blown away, because the heat was the dust haze hovering above my head, and it seemed to warm my brain nerves.

My heart was flustered, I fumbled in the drawer and took out my phone, but there were no new unread messages.

I gave myself 1 possible reasons, for example, the network is not good, so I refreshed, but there was still no new news.

That is to say, this matter ended in such a logical way, and it got stuck at this point.

"Okay." I found my bento box and opened it, telling myself, "This is normal too."

I mean, everyone has a life.In fact, this is just a trivial matter. No one is obliged to give a response to anyone. I don't have to feel unhappy about a setback.

In short - don't think too much, eat well.

I also took out the other bento, without opening it, but put it in a cool place, hoping it won't spoil too quickly.Before the checkpoint, I said that I really want to add a refrigerator, and I quite agree.

I poke the ears of the little frog with chopsticks and eat it. The seasoning is very moderate.

I put the entry materials for the kendo competition that Sekiguchi gave me on the table, and read while eating.

"...There are quite a few high schools in Tokyo." I glanced at the watch, and there were many noble high schools among them. I took out my mobile phone and planned to search for a few of them.

"Knock Knock-"

There was a knock on the wooden sliding door. At first I thought it was the wind and ignored it.After a few seconds, it rang again.

I had no choice but to put down my cell phone and lunch box and walk to the door.

Could it be that there is something urgent at the gate?

I opened the door casually, thinking about going to Tokyo, but the sunlight outside the door flooded in, and half of it covered the young man at the door, almost blending with the color of his windbreaker.

It's Mr. Dazai.

Some grass clippings were stained on his windbreaker for some reason, and there were some broken grass roots in his hair, with one or two strands caught in the hair.My eyes fell on the wall behind him, which was originally covered with a whole piece of vines, but now the leaves on it have collapsed, and it looks like it has been squeezed by something, while the lawn below has obviously been heavy. Overwhelmed by things, the grass has bent over.

"...Mr. Dazai, you didn't come in over the wall, did you?" I looked at him.

His expression froze for a second, and then he said, "Is this the only way to ask when we meet, Yijun?"

"...So you really came in over the wall." I took it as his admission, "Why didn't you go through the main entrance?"

"If you go through the main entrance, if you are seen by the gate and dragged out to chat, that person is quite good at talking."

——I agree with this.

"Anyway, come in first." I motioned for him to enter, and then closed the door, and opened the door just now to take away a lot of cold air in the room.As soon as he came in, all the grass clippings on his body fell on the tatami.

"Sorry sorry." He took off his clothes, and I noticed that his clothes were wet again.

"The air conditioner works really well in a small closed room, you'll catch a cold if you do this, Mr. Dazai." I found an unused towel from the shelf and gave it to him, "Wipe it off."

He sniffed his nose very cooperatively, which made me nervous too, for fear that he would sneeze.

"Why don't you go and bask in the sun?"

He said: "Yi Jun, I'm not a small animal, so how can I say something like that."

It seemed he was really insistent.

I had no choice but to find another blanket for him, "Although it is summer, it is still easy to get sick if you often soak in cold water."

But... what is Dazai-san doing here?

He obviously didn't reply to my message...

Wait, is the phone soaked in water?I secretly looked at him silently, but didn't have the courage to ask.

When I wasn't face to face, I thought I had endless possibilities, whether it was courage or whatever.But once he was in front of me and showed me his usual smile, I was like being nailed to the ground with nails, my limbs were out of adjustment, my brain was rigid, and I was thinking about the so-called optimal solution.

I just quietly stood half a tatami away from him, watching him remove the grass fragments from his head and clothes, he lifted his clothes and shook them in the air, and finally wiped the sides with a towel hair and neck.

"that……"

He asked me, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Eating." I had no choice but to turn around and point to my table, to be precise, the bento box on it, "Where is Mr. Dazai, have you eaten yet?"

"What, Yi Jun." He put on a preaching look, and in the next second he turned into a lively joke: "This kind of thing-don't ask questions knowingly, I made up my mind today not to eat work meals in the family restaurant .”

Ah... as expected, it is still Mr. Dazai.

I handed him the bento.

While opening the box, he complained to me:

"The bento at the family restaurant is really unpalatable. If you eat the same lunch every day, even a god will complain."

"Also~ It's an exaggeration to have to eat for a week in order to collect all the same toys. Even a capitalist work week requires at least one day off?"

Driven by him, I asked unconsciously, "...is it really that unpalatable?"

"It's not so much that it's unpalatable, it's better to say that there are too many repetitions. That restaurant has existed since before I joined the detective agency. I heard that the dishes haven't changed much. It's strange, right? In such a modern society that constantly innovates, It doesn’t keep pace with the times, so I have to at least reduce the number of visits to that store, and only then will I develop new products if I make them feel a sense of crisis.” He said with confidence.

I said, "This is really an important mission."

"That's right, that's right, Yi Jun thinks so too, right?" He responded cheerfully.

In Xiaoxiong's bento, there are thin strips of crab meat, which I rolled into flowers and put aside.It is juxtaposed with Tamagoyaki and decorated with carvings made of radish.As Sekiko complained, our family's favorite main dish is fried food, so there are also some fried chicken nuggets.To color the bears, the rice is dyed with curry.

He ate the shredded crabmeat first—not surprising to me.

I just turned up the temperature of the air conditioner because I was worried that he would catch a cold.As a result, I was getting hot now, so I had to lift up the top of the hakama a little bit, loosen the top, so that I could get more contact with the cool air to cool down.

I was eating my own lunch and asked, "How is the seasoning? It should be about the same as usual, right?"

I thought it would be fine if I could perform stably.

"Well, it's delicious as usual," he said.

The mobile phone in his pocket vibrated untimely, and Dazai already knew who it was before he answered the phone.

"Ah, Kunikida-kun is going to talk about work again—"

He put down the bento box lazily, and answered the phone with great reluctance.

After a short distance, I heard Mr. Kunikida's angry roar over the receiver——

"Dazai! Where did you go again! The afternoon work is about to start, don't skip work for me!"

"Okay—" he said "I see" and hung up.

"The work is really hard, is the time at noon so tight?" I asked.

He only ate about half of it.

"After all, there is an entrustment." He said lightly, "Can I take the bento?"

"Ah, it's nothing. Remember to return the bento box to me."

He closed the lid, took off the blanket and towel that was covering his body and put them aside, the water on his body was almost dry.

"Then I'll go first."

"Goodbye."

——He still climbed over the wall this time.

When I finished my bento to my heart's content, Sekiko knocked on the door and asked if I could come in.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw blankets and towels scattered on the ground, and there were water stains and grass clippings on the tatami. He looked at me inexplicably and asked, "...what's wrong?"

I thought I was telling the truth, but felt it was weird to tell the truth, so I lied.

"Just now a stray cat covered in water jumped in from the wall. I wiped his fur."

"A stray cat?" he said, "Could it be that it came in looking for food when it was hungry...has it left already?"

I looked out the window and saw the crooked vines that had been stepped on the wall.

"Well, it's gone."

The author has something to say:

Unlock item: half-eaten bento box.

The status of the item has changed: an empty bento box.

The position of the item has shifted: Yi → Zai

...hope he remembers to wash the bento boxes!
