Bungo common problem

Chisato's desire to talk to Gide was met with opposition.It's not just Edogawa Ranpo, but everyone in the room is against it.

Oda Sakunosuke said convincingly that he said the purpose of this matter was to wake up Chisato instead of asking her to persuade Gide, and Yosano Akiko stared at her earnestly telling her not to think too much, Fukuzawa Yukichi He even directly stated that she did not need to undertake such a thing.

"I haven't said anything yet..."

Qianli, who thought that persuading Ranpo would be easy to persuade, was extremely helpless.

"What if he really messes up? Maybe I can talk to him and make him change his target to mess with Mori Ogai."

That’s right, engaging Mori Ogai is the key point. If Mimic goes to engage Mori Ogai, he might be able to break into the Hong Kong Building directly when he arrives. On the roof of the Mori Ogai office, fight 800 rounds with Mori Ogai :)

How should I put it, there is a feeling that the villain has his own torture, similar to the killer sent by the enemy who was instigated by his own language and decided to go back to assassinate his employer. It is very cool to think about it.

"These are things for us people."

Fukuzawa Yukichi watched Chisato who was trying to really pick up the conversation with Gide, with a low voice.

"Whether it's a mimic or something, you have entrusted us with this matter, and we will also resolve this matter."

Even if the content entrusted by Qianli is only for the safety of the family, if Mimic is really doing trouble to civilians in Yokohama, then they cannot sit idly by.

"But……"

Chisato wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Fukuzawa Yukichi.

"You can feel more at ease."

The silver-haired samurai said this, with a bit of gentleness mixed with his awe-inspiring demeanor, and he sighed and said this sentence with a heartache that only he knew.

"You are still a child."

Yes, that was what hurt him the most.

Even if the other party can already be called a literary giant in literature, but in itself, he is just a child who is only in his teens.

About the same age as Ranpo back then, but without the innocence and immaturity that this age should have.Under so much pressure, I still want to resist more, and even take all this for granted.

But how can this be taken for granted?

It's like people living in honey can't imagine the horrors of the slums, and the things written by children who have never worried are full of happiness, and even troubles make people smile.

The work has an inseparable connection with the author.

It can be seen that the other party who can write such a work is not as relaxed as she shows.

But what she showed was indeed a relaxed gesture.

In this world, why are children always burdened with more things?

"I……"

Suddenly being said by Fukuzawa Yukichi, Qianli froze in place for an instant. She opened her mouth to say something, but stopped awkwardly at the edge of her mouth.

Planting flowers is eighteen years old, although she looks only fifteen or sixteen now, but she is really... well, she is an adult! (shock——)

But time travel is something that is not allowed to be talked about. To say that she was reborn even more endlessly would make people bald.

"That...if you are mature..."

Qianli whispered, subconsciously glanced at Edogawa Ranpo.

"Master Ranpo has grown up long ago!"

Edogawa Ranbu glanced at himself from thousands of miles away, how could he not know what she was thinking?Immediately, he blew up and refuted righteously.

"I'm already 22 this year!"

Statutory 20 is counted as an adult, and he is 22 years old. He is already an adult. Is his youth a problem?

other people:"……"

Adulthood is adulthood, but Ranpo, what do you look like on weekdays... people will believe you when you are 10 years old.

Several adults in the room looked away one after another, not doing anything like splashing cold water.

"Then what..."

Qianli organized what he needed, and coughed lightly to attract attention.

"Actually, besides Gide's idea of ​​wanting to chat with me, I also have the idea of ​​chatting with the other party."

Because there is nothing to lose by talking, and now that Oda Saku can change the fate of death, she is not afraid of mimic.

Still the same sentence, if possible, she wanted to see if she could completely eliminate the state of staring at Odasaku and change the target to Mori Ogai.

Thinking of this, she raised her eyes and said her thoughts.

"I want to know how big the change really is. And to talk about this kind of thing, it doesn't have to be face-to-face."

As she spoke, she took out her mobile phone and shook it in front of everyone.

"If you can't, you can use your mobile phone. If you can't use your mobile phone, you can also use letters. There is always a way that you don't need to meet."

Not because of mimic, just for herself.

How much "change" can she make?Behind that so-called "price", will she really be unlimited from now on?

Anyway, Qianli finally got others to agree with her idea.

But the method has also changed to contact the lowest letter.

Chisato thought for a long time, and wrote a letter with a sense of inquiry, and finally handed it to Oda Sakunosuke.

In the end, the letter got his wish and fell into Gide's hands.

There are not too many bells and whistles, because Oda sent it on his behalf, so even the stamps and address were omitted, only the words [Received by André Gide] on it were particularly obvious.

Gide didn't know the content, but holding the thin letter paper made him feel cherished.He had guessed that Oda Sakunosuke might contact the writer Chisato, but he didn't expect the result to be so unexpected.

Returning to the place where he was staying now, which could be called the temporary base of the base, Gide sat on a chair and carefully opened the envelope with a calm and expectant mood.

The folded letter inside is soon fully revealed, and the letter begins with an explanation.

【拝启

I wrote this letter because I learned that Mr. Gide wanted to "chat" with me.

First of all, please forgive me that I can't meet you. In fact, as far as I am concerned, I have very complicated senses for you.

In the first communication, I should call you "you", but as I said in the last sentence, this is a delicate thing for me. 】

Seeing this, Gide's heart sank slightly, he moved his eyes and continued to look down.

[For your purpose, I was panicked.

The reason is because Oda Sakunosuke is very important to me.If something really happened to him, then I might not be able to survive in this world, and you who want to drag him down the stairs will become the existence that opposes me. 】

It turned out to be the case.

Gide understood.

Oda Sakunosuke not only knows the writer Chisato, but the relationship between the two is quite close, and even Oda Sakunosuke will know what the other party meets.

A subtle feeling rose in Gide's heart. In the relationship network of Oda Sakunosuke he investigated, the other party did not have any particularly close women.

[Let's talk about business next.

According to Sakunosuke Oda, the reason you want to chat with me is because of the ending of the novel "Ghost", which you feel is incomplete.

To be honest, there are many theories about the ending of this book in the outside world, among which the two largest genres, "Break and Stand" and "Degenerate to Death" are the most famous.

So, what does Mr. Gide think?Although I can probably guess it, the difference in thinking is probably the biggest difference between people, just like the veins of leaves, which seem to be the same but are actually very different.

So, can you elaborate on your thoughts with me?

——Thousands of miles]

The letter is not long, and it is over here. Gide read it again silently, gently put the letter paper on the table, and moved his eyes to the stack of books beside the table.

Each of the four books is Qianli's work, and the top one is "Ghost" which he has read many times.

Gide stared fixedly for a few seconds, then looked away to find new pens and paper to spread on the table.

He held a pen, stared at the blank paper, lost in thought.

Where do I start writing?

Gide moved his hand with the pen and came to the upper left corner of the paper. Just as he was about to write the opening remarks of European practice, he stopped suddenly.

Since we are in Japan, should we use the format here to appear more sincere?

Such thoughts floated in his head for a second, and Gide regained his movement, and wrote down the words "Do as the Romans do as Romans do" with a sharp pen.

【拝启】

Then, next, it's something else.

That night, Qianli received a reply letter from Gide.

It was also the envelope for the introduction, and even the letter inside was equally simple. Qianli went back to his room and unfolded the letter and scanned it roughly. The content on it was many times more than the one she sent.

The beginning is full of Japanese "勝启", and the following content is concise and French in style, so that people can immediately understand the identity of the opponent's European at a glance.

Qianli calmed down, and looked at the contents of the letter paper word by word with a serious attitude.

Gide didn't express many things. He first expressed the reasons for the Oda Sakunosuke incident, and then explained the reasons for his actions, followed by Mimic's own experience.

Gide used to be a hero. He always believed that as a soldier, he must fight for the motherland and the people, and he would not hesitate to sacrifice his life for this. This is the bounden duty of a soldier.

But in a certain battle, when he was sent with forty men to attack the enemy's fortress of 600 people, everything went to another beginning.

He was convicted of a war crime by the country, because before that, the upper levels of the country had reached a peace agreement with the local area.

This is a trap and a conspiracy.

But he and his subordinates had no choice. In order to survive, they could only be forced to fight with their compatriots.

After that, they could only start wandering, doing dirty jobs that they never dreamed of doing before, and never regained the appearance of national heroes. Some subordinates even couldn't stand the pressure and committed suicide. die.

But they are soldiers, and the meaning of soldiers is to defend the country on the battlefield, which is the only thing they have left.

So, they began to look for the battlefield, looking for a place to prove themselves...

……

After the explanation, there are questions about The Specter, mixed with questions about what doesn't look like a person.

Finally, at the back of the letter, there is a sentence written.

【If a grain of wheat does not fall to the ground and die, it is still a grain of wheat; if it dies, it will produce many grains.

So, nothing is more important than death in life, for us, that is it. 】

Further down is the normal expectation of replies and signatures, Qianli frowned in confusion, feeling extremely complicated.

Come, come, Gide's classic sentence has come!But this is what Christianity means by the continuation of life.

It was a good thing to say.The question is, where does your death continue?When you die, you will be gone. Where can you get new wheat?Do you still think that someone can inherit your legacy?

Where the leaves are flying, the fire is also alive or something? (bushi)

Touching his chin, Qianli felt that Gide's thoughts were still biased.Obviously there is no meaning, but we must find a meaning, even take it out of context.

Speaking of which, this is a kind of self-persuasion, right?

Although I know that the other party is desperate, but... Well, do you want to try some chicken soup for the soul and poisonous chicken soup?But I have never done this kind of thing before, what if I force someone to be violent?

Thinking about the reading comprehension of his own readers, Qianli silently pressed the idea of ​​pouring chicken soup.

Forget it, forget it, if he is so violent that he has a firm mind and then chases after Oda Zuo and shouts and kills himself, he will lose money.

It is really impossible to learn from the big brother Natsume Soseki, Gide has come to the door and the end is coming, we can't "treat" him badly.
