Seeking the Law of Summoning in Taisho

Zhou Fangzun's purchase of the door went smoothly, and soon he came back dragging a door panel, and began to disassemble the original broken frame clangingly.

Although everyone hoped that Shiya had a good rest so as to recover from his injuries, he didn't seem to be able to stay idle. Hearing the movement downstairs, he felt that he had regained some strength, so he got up by himself and walked towards Dazai Osamu's place.

"What are you looking at?"

Looking at Osamu Dazai's back, he thought he was looking down at Zhou Fangzun who was repairing the door, but when he got closer, he realized that his gaze did not fall there, but rather seemed to be floating aimlessly in the void.

Osamu Dazai didn't turn his head, and waited for the other party to come to his side before saying, "Look at the person."

In the afternoon, there were not many people on the street, even if there were only a few pedestrians, but his eyes were obviously not on those walking around.

Shiya was puzzled, and glanced around: "Aren't you not looking at them?"

Osamu Dazai chuckled, "Yeah, I'm looking at people who should exist but don't exist."

Shimi seemed to feel that he couldn't explain it to him, so she didn't want to ask any more, and turned her head to look down, wanting to see how the door was installed.

Osamu Dazai stretched his arms out of the railing at this moment, and his whole body was hung on the railing in half like a brown sheet. Shimi was startled by him, and quickly grabbed his windbreaker, "You What are you doing, it will fall!"

Letting the breeze blow through his messy hair, Osamu Dazai felt his head gradually congested and closed his eyes.

"How long has Mimi-kun lived here?"

Shinya was taken aback by his sudden question, but quickly replied, "I've been here since I was born, what's wrong?"

Before the words fell, he followed up and persuaded: "You should go back first, this is very worrying!"

Osamu Dazai opened his eyes, and stood up suddenly like a spring in the next moment. Shiya was shocked by him again for a moment, but the other party had already relaxed his face and showed him a warm smile.

"Is that so, I'm really sorry for worrying you." He turned around, leaned against the railing behind him, and looked at the passers-by, "Shimi-kun has lived here for so long, and no one came to see these things. help..."

Miniya managed to get out of the shock just now, but he didn't expect to face such a problem.

He was silent for a moment, and touched the bandage wrapped around his head, "Once or twice, the neighbors may come to try to persuade them to fight, but after a long time, who wants to always meddle in other people's family affairs, let alone my dad often Fighting with people, ordinary people can't beat him, and no one dares to stop him..."

The boy's stature was still very thin, and he was wearing a white coat stained with blood. When the wind blew, he could see the wrapped bandages from his open chest.

At the age of thirteen or fourteen...

Osamu Dazai thought, it was about the same age as when he was adopted by Mr. Mori.

"However, as long as I'm here, I won't let my father hurt my mother and my brothers and sisters." Although Shimi looked lonely, she was not negative.

But Osamu Dazai glimpsed another meaning from these words.

"So, will you still attack Madam?" He sighed, "It's too much..."

Shimi gritted her teeth: "One day, I will defeat the bastard father."

Maybe it was because he opened up his heart after chatting a few words, and the young man inadvertently uttered the words he had just swallowed.

Osamu Dazai lowered his eyes and smiled: "What a grand goal, Mimi-kun."

Probably because no one had said that, Shiya tilted her head a little embarrassedly, trying to cover it up with a cough.

However, he didn't vaguely grasp the meaning of what the man said just now, and turned his head quickly again, "You said 'people who should exist but don't exist', do you mean that you think they should come to help? ?”

Osamu Dazai was noncommittal.

He really didn't know how to answer.

Most people in this world are indifferent, and there are many people who stand by and stand by when encountering excitement, even he is no exception.

If Zhou Fangzun was not around today, he actually didn't think he would get involved in this matter, even if someone asked him to go to the side of saving people, but occasionally, looking at those people around who would not save them, he would Still feel a little boring.

So, instead of saying "they", it is better to say that he is looking at himself.

However, it was obvious that Zhou Fangzun was a completely different person from him.

"Uncle, big brother, come eat Jinping Tang!"

Xuan Mi's voice came from the other side of the stairs, breaking the somewhat silent atmosphere between the two.

Holding the iron box, the boy ran towards the two of them, and only when he reached their side, he opened the round iron box in his hand, revealing dozens of candies in the shape of coral balls inside.

The colorful candies are piled together, and the sweet smell hits the face, and it makes people feel good when they look at it.

Shimi asked, "Where did you get it?"

"It was given to me by the boss, Grandpa Murayama, when I was buying the door panel with Uncle Zhou Fang!" Xuan Mi squinted her eyes, looking very happy.

The other children who heard Xuan Mi's voice also ran over in a swarm. Xuan Mi raised the box, "Give it to brother and uncle first, Uncle Zhou Fang also ate one just now."

Shinya looked at Osamu Dazai.

He didn't refuse either. He bent down and keenly sensed Xuan Mi's nervousness when his fingers passed over the red candy, so he picked a white one and threw it into his mouth.

"It's lemon!" Xuan Mi looked at him and smiled.

Osamu Dazai: "You know it well~ Then what's the smell of this?"

He pointed to the red Kopei candy.

"I know, I know!" He also raised his hands to answer, "It's brother Xuanmi's favorite watermelon!"

Xuan Mi continued: "Uncle Zhou Fang took the pink strawberry flavor, brother, you can choose one too."

"Let them choose first." Shi Mi said.

The children who had received the order scrambled into a ball. Osamu Dazai leaned sideways on the railing to watch them smile. He glanced inadvertently, and saw Zhou Fangzun who had just finished his work and was standing on the street to observe the effect of the door panel installation.

The third king who loves strawberries...

What a surprise.

--

Osamu Dazai and Zhou Fangzun only stayed at Bushichuan's house until their mother came home, and then proposed to leave.

Although the seven children all wanted the two of them to stay for dinner, considering that the master of the house was not around, it was really inappropriate to entertain two outsiders at such a late hour, and in order to avoid the scene of meeting Mimi’s father Embarrassed, the two were determined to leave.

Seeing this, Shimi's mother didn't want to stay anymore, but she still gave the two of them the hagi cakes they made as a thank you gift for today's series of events.

The hagi biscuits in the paper bag were freshly out of the pan, and they were still hot. Dazai Osamu held it in his hand and put his other hand in his pocket, walking briskly along the street.

Zhou Fangzun walked aside silently, and when Osamu Dazai looked over, he had already eaten half of his hagi cake.

Dazai said with emotion: "Zhou Fang-jun, you are worthy of being the Red King."

The ability to withstand heat is really different from ordinary people.

"Ah," Zhou Fangzun lazily replied, "It's okay."

He finished eating half a palm-sized hagi pancake and rolled the paper bag into a ball. "I used to feel very hot on my body, especially in summer, but now that I don't have all the power that belongs to Chi Wang, it's really much easier and cooler."

When he said that, Osamu Dazai remembered what he wanted to ask before.

"What is the world like after death?" He picked up the hagi cake and blew it.

"Maybe there is nothing, who knows." Zhou Fangzun said, "I came here as soon as I opened my eyes."

Hearing this, Osamu Dazai laughed suddenly, but before the other party looked over, he lowered his head and took a bite of Hagi Mochi.

"So sweet."

He turned and continued to walk forward, the lights on both sides of the road reflected on his white face, making the smile on his face extraordinarily gentle.

"That's great," he said softly, "If there's nothing else, you won't even feel pain and loneliness, that's great."

Zhou Fangzun snorted inexplicably, but did not refute.

"Shoufang-kun, won't you ask where we are going?" Osamu Dazai asked while chewing on the hagi cake.

"It doesn't matter to me." Zhou Fangzun said, "Anyway, I will leave tomorrow."

Osamu Dazai glanced at him, pointed to the woods at the end of the long street, "In that case, let's go there."

Zhou Fangzun rarely paused.

Rao, he, who has even slept in prison, has never experienced what it feels like to sleep in a tree. Don't think about it, the next day will definitely greet him with back pain.

The black-haired young man seemed very interested: "When I came here, I saw a tree with a crooked neck..."

Zhou Fangzun turned his head: "Is it for sleeping?"

Osamu Dazai looked at him excitedly: "I have never seen a tree so suitable for hanging!"

Zhou Fangzun: "...?"

However, the other party was obviously serious, and after finishing the words, he turned around and walked in a certain direction with great strides.

Zhou Fangzun: "You..."

In just a short while, the young man humming and eating hagi biscuits was already a few steps away from him, walking as fast as if he was in a hurry to reincarnate.

...Yes, he was really in a hurry to reincarnate.

Zhou Fangzun had no choice but to follow, and the two walked through the brightly lit long street all the way to the entrance of the dense forest.

There seemed to be a small mountain in front of him, and the lights of the street shone from behind, and he could vaguely see a path leading to the mountain in front of him.

On both sides of the path are luxuriant grass, which is half the height of a person. The boundary between light and shadow is not clear here. The nearby scenery that can be seen clearly, winding upwards, is shrouded in night, leaving only darkness, Xia Chan It screams cheerfully, but what can be felt is only the mystery and danger in it.

Seeing that Osamu Dazai was about to go up, Zhou Fangzun pulled him back instantly.

Osamu Dazai turned around, a little surprised.

After all, it doesn't matter what this person said before, but now he is going to overturn his previous remarks?

Zhou Fangzun's face was very serious: "It smells like blood."

Osamu Dazai was taken aback, he took the hagi cake a little far away, stood there waiting for a while, then suddenly turned sideways and walked towards the grass on the right.

Stretching out his hand to push aside the lush grass, with the help of the faint light, a corpse covered in blood came into the eyes of the two of them.

Zhou Fangzun said lightly, "...it's him."

Osamu Dazai had no expression on his face, but there was still Hagi cake left in his hand, and he probably couldn't eat it anymore.
