Although Dazai Osamu raised questions, Oda Sakunosuke was still able to reply very naturally with a slumped face.

"She's not suitable."

Not to mention which school can teach the famous "Teacher Qianli", even Qianli himself has no intention of going to school.

Oda Sakunosuke shook his head, saying that he would not say anything more about this matter.

Ango Sakaguchi felt that the other party didn't want to involve the children in the mafia, so he was satisfied and didn't mention it again.

But Osamu Dazai wrote down the incident thoughtfully.

In terms of Odasaku's savings, let alone six, he couldn't afford four.It’s okay to say a year and a half now, but it’s definitely not going to last.

So how will he increase the extra income in the future?

"Om-"

A slight vibration sounded from a certain pocket, and Oda Sakunosuke took out his mobile phone and looked at it. There was a message from Chisato on it.

[——The paper towels at home are empty, sorry for Mr. Oda. ]

"Is this what you mean by bringing something back?"

Osamu Dazai leaned over with great interest and took a look, amazed.

"I didn't feel anything before, but now I see Odasaku, you are doing a good job as a babysitter, but is there something wrong?"

"wrong?"

Oda Sakunosuke was taken aback for a moment, then he lowered his head and read the content written in the message again without knowing why, but he didn't see anything wrong.

Is there any difference from usual?

"What's wrong?"

"Anwu, come here, hurry up."

Osamu Dazai pulled Ango Sakaguchi to this side with his backhand, and pointed to Sakunosuke Oda's cell phone to show him.

"Ango can see it!"

Sakaguchi Ango was not as skinny as Dazai. He first asked Oda Sakunosuke with his eyes and got a nod before looking at the information on Oda Sakunosuke's phone.

Three seconds later, he pushed his glasses and hesitated to speak.

"According to the members of Mr. Oda's family, this message should be sent by Mr. Oda's oldest child, right?"

During the previous conversation, it was revealed that the oldest girl was the girl Mr. Oda first adopted, and it has been at least half a year, and being able to send out such a message shows that she is relatively close.

And even though he doesn't say it, Mr. Oda can still feel how much Mr. Oda cares about that child Ango Sakaguchi as a friend.

But the "Mr. Oda" is a little bit out of line, and Mr. Oda is only in his early twenties. In this respect, it is not bad for a child to call him "brother", and he feels too mature for some reason.

But maybe it's just his guesswork. After all, one family knows the other. How could he know this kind of getting along without even having a child?

"May I ask, are Mr. Oda and her already very close?"

Ango Sakaguchi asked, and got a slightly hesitant answer from Oda Sakunosuke.

"If it matters..."

Speaking of "closeness", the first thing Oda Sakunosuke thought of was the time when Chisato cried silently in his arms.

Although he still doesn't seem to be able to understand the depths of the other party's heart, being able to make such a move means that Qianli should have recognized himself as the one.

and so--

"It should be very close."

Oda Sakunosuke spoke uncertainly.

Sakaguchi Ango: "..."

This "should" is a bit subtle, Oda-san...

"Then we will be very close."

Ango Sakaguchi coughed lightly, thought about the many events he had seen, and made a suggestion.

"If the title is still 'Mr. Oda' in this situation, Mr. Oda, you can consider calling him a little closer. You see, the boys you mentioned before are very lively."

"The address is more...closer?"

Are you and Qianli?That seems to be true.The few boys who have just arrived at home can call themselves "uncle" one by one. Compared with the "Mr. Oda" who Qianli has always been, it is really not close enough.

Oda Sakunosuke suddenly felt enlightened.

"It turns out that it is indeed a problem to want to get along with children better."

Even if you remove the following "Sir", calling yourself "Oda" is better than "Mr. Oda", isn't it?

"Thank you, I understand."

Oda Sakunosuke stood up and bid farewell to the two friends, and went straight home to finish the matter immediately, leaving only Ango Sakaguchi and Osamu Dazai in their original positions.

After a long time, Osamu Dazai spoke quietly.

"I didn't expect you, Ango, to be good at solving family problems..."

Sakaguchi Ango was a little surprised.

"Didn't you tell me something was wrong?"

"I think it's interesting that there are still people Odasaku can't handle, but I don't want to adjust the relationship between them..."

Dazai had no expression on his face.

"Originally, Odasaku's father-protecting complex was very serious, but now you tell him that it will only become more serious. I'm afraid he only has 'daughter' in his heart."

Ango Sakaguchi was speechless.

Dazai, are you a child who was robbed of your parents' attention?

After leaving the bar, Oda Sakunosuke bought paper towels and a bunch of snacks at the supermarket on the side of the road and quickly returned home. It was not too late at this time, and at least half of the sun was still on the horizon.

There was only one glass, and the little smell of alcohol gradually dissipated on the way back. Oda Sakunosuke carried a big bag of snacks and marched into the HDB flat. The lively boys were already cheering and approaching, one by one like wolves. Hu stared at the snack bag, and cheered happily as if honey had been smeared on his mouth.

"Uncle Oda, you are back!"

"Wow! Lots of snacks, no! I mean uncle, you came back so early!"

……

Oda Sakunosuke, who had already taken sutras with others, put the snacks on the table, and calmly ordered, "Each person can only take one, and you can eat after dinner." After that, he glanced around the room and lowered his head to ask.

"Where is Qianli?"

"I know I know!"

The child whose name is Self-denial holds up his finger in the direction of a certain bedroom.

"Sister Qianli is writing something. We know that sister Qianli is busy, so we are very obedient and didn't bother."

"well-done."

Oda Sakunosuke patted the heads of several children, walked to Chisato's bedroom, and began to knock on the door.

"Boom boom boom——"

The sudden knock on the door made Qianli look up from all the documents in a daze. She blinked her sore eyes and hurriedly answered.

"Enter."

The children are relatively casual, and they don't expect to knock on the door. The only ones who can knock on the door are Oda Sakunosuke and the aunt who takes care of Sakule and does housework.

The door was opened little by little, and it was Oda Sakunosuke who appeared at the door. Chisato watched the other party close the door and enter the house, as if he wanted to talk about something.

"What's the matter, Oda-san? Is there something wrong?"

Oda Sakunosuke nodded, his eyes skipped over the documents scattered on Senri's desk, and then suddenly turned back the next second.

"This is……"

Oda Sakunosuke took a closer look and found that there were some school materials on it.

"School?"

"There are some schools in the vicinity. There are only two that are most suitable to choose from. One is closer and the other has a better reputation."

There are public and private ones, as long as they are not too far away, she has searched for information.

Chisato picked up the control group between schools that he had written and handed it to Sakunosuke Oda.

"If Mr. Oda is sure that we will move in the future, then I recommend the one farther away, otherwise the one closer will be better."

Because nothing will happen for at least two years. Of course, it is better to go to a better place, and the one that is far away is just a comparison, but it can be said to be close.

"Does Mr. Oda have any comments?"

Oda Sakunosuke looked at the complete comparison table in his hand, and at Chisato who was waiting for his answer, he couldn't help feeling guilty.

These are things that you should pay attention to yourself, but now it makes the other party worry even more.

"No, Qianli, you did a good job."

Oda Sakunosuke shook his head in agreement.

"Just do as you say."

"Okay, then leave it to me."

Chisato took back the comparison table with a smile and put it back on the table, just about to ask about the other party's previous affairs, but suddenly heard Oda Sakunosuke's sighing voice.

"Too hard, Qianli."

"Ok?"

Qianli blinked blankly, taking it for granted in his voice.

"But Mr. Oda, you have worked very hard at work, and I'm just doing a little favor."

What is the bottom layer for?That's running around doing dirty work!How could Odasaku have to worry about so many things when he came home after a day's work?

Who, ability, tolerance, heart!

"But Qianli, you have already helped me a lot."

Oda Sakunosuke finally couldn't help but say what was in his heart before.

"So traveling a thousand miles is hard work, not just working outside."

It's just some trivial work, not even as much energy as he had to put in when he carried out the assassination.

How much energy does it take to write a book?How much does it take to manage this home?The most important thing is that she is still a child, twelve or thirteen years old, obviously it is also the age that needs to be worried the least, isn't it?

Most importantly, he was always afraid that she would be hurt inadvertently.

She had a hard time, but only she didn't know this "secret".

"But I'm just looking for information. For other communication with the school, I can only let Mr. Oda, the parent, come here."

Chisato wanted to continue to refute, but in her heart it was definitely Odasaku who worked harder, but as soon as she looked into those blue eyes, all the refuted words disappeared from her mouth.

She will always compromise with Oda Sakunosuke.

So she bent her eyes and changed her words.

"Then it's like we've all worked hard."

"Yes."

Oda Sakunosuke helplessly rubbed Chisato's head, lost in those smiling golden eyes.

"It's been so hard, Qianli."

"Thank you, Oda-san."

The two voices fell, and the two pairs of eyes looked at each other.For a full five seconds, the air was so quiet that there was no sound at all.

However, the sound that came out again was the voice of Qianli who couldn't help laughing.

"So what did Oda-san want to tell me earlier?"

"There is one thing."

Oda Sakunosuke nodded, remembering his original purpose, and hit a straight ball unprepared.

"What I think is that I have known Qianli for so long, and Qianli still called me 'Mr. Oda' at the beginning. I think we can get closer."

"Closer...closer?"

Qianli was taken aback by the sudden words, completely unaware of why the other party said such things on a sudden whim.

"Mr. Oda, why did you suddenly remember this?"

"I didn't notice it before, but I was reminded by a friend today."

Qianli: "..."

"friend"?Good guy, the only ones who can be friends with Odasaku are Dazai Osamu and Sakaguchi Ango, right?Oda Saku didn't say much to put his family members on the list of black mud spirits, right?

Oda Sakunosuke explained frankly, he looked at Chisato with a hesitant expression, and decisively showed some distressed expression,

"And Xingsuke and the others have already called me 'Uncle Oda', although I think I should still be young, now I just hope that you don't have such thoughts."

He touched his chin where the stubble had been plucked clean, and he felt that he was not so unkempt.After all, his family is so big and thousands of miles away, he still pays attention to his image on weekdays.

"After all, uncle or something... I'm only 21."

Will he be called "uncle" when he is 40 or [-]?

"Mr. Oda, you are very young!"

Seeing that Oda Sakunosuke was distressed because of this, Chisato hurriedly comforted him.

"Xingsuke and the others are still young, that's why they call Oda-san that way. In my opinion, Oda-san is very young, mature, reliable, and very handsome!"

"That's it."

Oda Sakunosuke seemed to regain his spirits, with anticipation in his eyes.

"Thousands of miles, you..."

"This... Let me think about it, let me think about it."

Qianli, who completely refused to be able to, took a deep breath and felt that this was a critical moment.

It is impossible to call uncle with children, so there are three options.

Oda, Oda Saku, Sakunosuke.

But no matter how you think about it, "Odasaku" is the most used, right?Oda and Kazu hadn't changed, but Sakunosuke felt inexplicably ashamed to be too close.

"Odasaku..."

Chisato hesitated to say three words, under the unblinking eyes of Oda Sakunosuke, he felt inexplicable panic for some reason, and suddenly uttered the last two words.

"No help."

Qianli: "..."

Fuck, be more aggressive!It's just a name, why can't it come out of my mouth?

She ruffled her hair, opening her mouth in frustration.

"Odasaku, the address is Odasaku... is that okay?"

Oda Sakunosuke was a little surprised. He thought it was "Oda" or "Sakunosuke". After all, under normal circumstances, his name only had these two combinations.

Now it seems that as expected of Chisato, he came up with the same combination as Dazai.

"of course can."

Oda Sakunosuke nodded happily, and suddenly thought of Dazai's original words.

'Perhaps the author and I will accidentally have a common language. '

Maybe... what Dazai said was true, at least judging by the way he was addressed.

Since the name was changed, Oda Sakunosuke's address at home has directly changed to Oda Saku, and even the group of children have also changed their mouths. They no longer call "Oda Uncle" and let Oda Saku Tasakunosuke gradually got used to it.

Then he told his friends about it as a joke.

Dazai: more interested :)

Right after the Dragon Head War, most of the work was not interesting in the end and Nakahara didn't show any flaws. Osamu Dazai was doing nothing but didn't really get in touch with Oda Sakunosuke's outstanding eldest daughter.

Although there is some speculation, it is impossible for him to do anything to the child adopted by Oda Saku, unless he wants to lose his friend Oda Sakunosuke, and it is the most worry-free to have no contact with him.

The acquaintance of Osamu Dazai and Chisato was accidental.

It was already autumn when the Dragon Head War ended, and it was late autumn when Oda Sakunosuke picked up the boys, and now it has been so long, it is already winter outside.

During this period of time, Qianli has not gone out because of the problem of preparing to write a new book.

But it’s not enough to just write at home all the time, let alone the war theme that she has never been exposed to. When she went out one day to go to the library to find some materials, she happened to see the figure of Osamu Dazai hanging on it.

A dark vertical bar just stood motionless in mid-air, and a timid person might be scared away.

"Teacher, don't look!"

Asakawa Hayato, who was accompanying Qianli, quickly covered Qianli's sight with his eyes and hands, and was about to take him away first.

Unexpectedly, Wan Cheng moved his hand away calmly, with a strange voice in his calm voice.

"It's okay, it's just that someone hanged himself."

She raised her head and glanced at the man hanging from the tree with a strange gaze. From head to toe, and from some exposed bandages and other details, she confirmed the identity of the other party, Dazai Osamu, the black mud spirit.

Well, hurry up before the tree or the rope breaks, otherwise it will be a big trouble when it really breaks.If there are ordinary people who hang themselves but can save them, Osamu Dazai?Don't worry, he will never die.

Qianli just wanted to look away, but for some reason, she subconsciously looked into the eyes of the other person whom she had deliberately avoided just now.

Before he had time to start congesting blood like other hanged people, his kite-colored eyes were half-opened, just as calm as the other person's face at the moment.

Without the slightest struggle, nor any brilliance, just staring at the edge is like staring at the abyss.

As expected of a black mud spirit, otherwise today's schedule should be cancelled. After all, no matter how careful you are with the script team in Yokohama, you can't be too careful. Besides, she was ready to contact Dazai Osamu the moment she got in touch with Oda Saku .

Qianli thought casually.

It's just... this contact came a little earlier than expected.

A gust of cold wind blew by, pushing the abyss to move suddenly and slowly. He followed his gaze and locked on Qianli's body.

The gold and the iris collided at this moment, and then disappeared instantly, like stars quietly extinguished in the universe, not even a single sound leaked out.

Or is there not even that imaginary collision?

Chisato just stared at Osamu Dazai calmly for a few seconds, then turned her head decisively and told Asakawa Hayato.

"This person is hopeless, let's leave first, Mr. Asakawa, please call the police and ask the police to take the body away."

Osamu Dazai who was still conscious after being hanged:? ? ?

Why did I just become a corpse?

Qianli didn't care what happened to Osamu Dazai, she turned around and walked away without hesitation, not wanting to "disturb" the other party's "sacred" suicide at all.

However, before she could take a few steps, there was a bang from behind, followed by weak screams.

"Ah, ah, ah, what's the matter with this rope?"

Qianli: "..."

Osamu Dazai, can you be more fake?

"teacher?"

Asakawa Hayato was about to call to inform the police that his hands stopped and asked Chisato's opinion.

"look……"

"Do not care."

Qianli ruthlessly continued to leave.

"You can tell by the sound that he is very energetic. He must be alive and kicking in a while."

"Good teacher!"

Asakawa Hayato took back the phone without hesitation, and followed Qianli without even looking at Osamu Dazai behind him.

However, Osamu Dazai was not happy, he moaned exaggeratedly with his hoarse voice.

"Ah—my leg, it hurts so much, I'm broken! No one can save me, I can only be—frozen—dead—"

Thousands of miles that can be heard clearly from not far away: "..."

Oh, believe me!You black mud is very bad!

Qianli completely ignored Dazai's "screams" and continued to leave expressionlessly, while Dazai, who seemed to be lying on the ground in pain, looked at the other party without even looking at himself, and curled his lips directly, performing a medical miracle on the spot , a carp straightened up and stood up.

He picked up the coat and shook it, and put it on himself casually, and chased it in the direction where he disappeared thousands of miles away.

"this--"

Before Qianli walked 100 meters, Dazai Osamu's voice behind him caught up directly, and came from far to near.

"The little lady in front—"

Qianli was expressionless, and walked faster, but Asakawa turned his head in doubt, and saw the young man who had just hugged his leg and said that his leg was broken, walking like flying to his side.

Asakawa Hayato:? ? ?

What's the matter with this man?Are you a dramatist?Or touch porcelain?

After all, people can't walk a lively mackerel, and Dazai Osamu chased him after a few steps, and he kept emitting light waves of sorrow with a look of "you are cruel, you are ruthless".

Qianli was expressionless, wishing that there would be a rope to hang the person next to him away.

you go!leave me alone! ! !

Osamu Dazai: I don't!

Osamu Dazai didn't speak, just had such a "poor" look, Qianli walked forward expressionlessly, and after a while, he stopped suddenly, and the gaze that was ignoring the other party finally came to Osamu Dazai's face.

"go in."

Pointing to the hospital, she spoke to Osamu Dazai, and even took out a few banknotes from her pocket and stuffed them into the other party's hand, opening her mouth to silence all his words.

"Go in and check. If it doesn't work, just buy some medicine and deal with it yourself. You don't have to return it. I will not leave my name for my good deeds. Goodbye."

After finishing speaking, Chisato directly gave Asakawa Hayato a wink, and tried to leave again after crossing the stunned Osamu Dazai.

Osamu Dazai looked at the nearby hospital, then at Qianli's back, and finally lowered his head and fixed his gaze on the banknote in his hand.

The contact between the two was extremely brief, not even 5 minutes.Even the action of stuffing money into himself just now seemed ferocious but actually very light, the hands didn't even touch him.

Ah, really indifferent, but he did such... unnecessary things.

If he hadn't looked at each other, he wouldn't have followed, but unfortunately, the abyss caught something different.

Inexplicably familiar and unfamiliar, and... self-contradictory.

When he was on the tree, he saw something in those golden eyes, but the time was too short, and the blurred vision due to lack of oxygen made him feel unreal.

Osamu Dazai stuffed the banknotes into his pocket casually, without even looking at the hospital, he chased after him again with brisk steps.

Anyway, you will know once you watch it again, and it is still effective to pretend to be pitiful.
