Seeking the Law of Summoning in Taisho

After the words fell, Osamu Dazai looked at her quietly, and smiled slowly for a while.

Oh, it turned out to be a lonely lady.

"Since it's a deal, if Izanami-sama can show your sincerity, I certainly won't reject the deal."

"Really!" Izanami looked at him with bright eyes, "As long as I hide his tracks, will you stay? Will you never leave?"

"Hmm..." Osamu Dazai seemed to be deliberating, "If my lord can do it, I can think about it."

As a god, Izanami didn't notice at all that the other party's words didn't seem like the attitude that a small human being should have towards a god. Her current attention is all on the "will stay" expressed by Osamu Dazai In this sense, I even feel happy about it.

"Great! I'll show you my ability now!"

She turned around and waved her hand. The original ukiyo-e style screen changed instantly. Those mountains and waters gradually distorted and gradually became tiny characters, densely arranged on the screen.

Those words appeared and disappeared. After observing for a while, Osamu Dazai confirmed that those words were actually the names of the dead, but there was no separator between the names and surnames.

After a while, all the densely packed words on the screen disappeared, leaving only a line in the middle, and those words Dazai Osamu couldn't be more clear—it was the purpose of his coming here.

"Is this it?" Izanami asked.

Osamu Dazai didn't know what he thought of, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he nodded: "Yeah."

After he answered, two crossed chains appeared on the name of "Oda Sakunosuke", which locked it firmly, and then the chains collapsed and shattered together with the name, and then gradually disappeared.

"That's good."

Izanami turned her head, and the screen behind her turned into an ukiyo-e painting of mountains and seas again, and she looked at Osamu Dazai tenderly and expectantly.

"Will you stay?"

Osamu Dazai smiled, did not answer whether he would or not, but said, "Thank you, Izanami-sama."

The other party seemed to agree when he agreed, and cheered, then lifted a plate on the small table and brought it to him. The contents inside looked like cherry cakes, but there were no cherry leaves, so they were just small light pink balls. .

"We're friends, right? There's no need to say thanks between friends?" She tilted her head, holding the plate in her hand, "Try this, it's delicious."

Osamu Dazai glanced down, and quickly shifted his gaze to the plate on the other side of the small table.

"In contrast, I'm more interested in those meatballs."

"This one!" Izanami followed his gaze to find it, then raised the plate, took a string of meatballs on it, and turned to him with a smile, "Come on, I'll feed you!"

She leaned over and handed crab meat balls to Osamu Dazai's mouth, her gaze seemed gentle, but it seemed more like she was tightly locked on his body, watching his every move.

The meatballs were still exuding heat, and the unique taste of crab meat went straight into Dazaizhi's nose, and looking at the picture in front of him, for some reason, Dazaizhi vaguely felt that everything in front of him was not fake.

The waitress is real, and the crab meat balls are real, and he is in the coffee shop downstairs of the Armed Detective Agency. The lady who has been rejecting his invitation suddenly wanted to invite him to eat crab meat today...

"Mr. Dazai, why don't you eat?" the waitress looked at him, confused.

Osamu Dazai replied subconsciously: "Beautiful lady, you finally agreed—"

"Oh!"

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of a heavy object falling to the ground behind him, and the sense of familiarity in front of him suddenly disappeared, and Osamu Dazai looked back instantly.

The red hair became darker because of the water, and the man's cheek was cut open for some reason, and blood was oozing out. He wiped it casually, and the dark brown eyes that turned sideways reflected the two people in front of the screen. into the eyes.

"...Sakura?"

His eyes swept between the familiar girl and Osamu Dazai, and he noticed the crab meat balls in the girl's hand. He paused and asked in doubt, "Are you having a tea party?"

Osamu Dazai had just recovered from his astonishment, and was about to call the other party's name, when he suddenly heard this sentence, he changed the words in his mouth and explained: "Odasaku, this is Miss Izanami. "

Oda Sakunosuke instantly understood Dazai Osamu's meaning, but no matter how he looked at it, the girl in front of him looked like Saki Le, which made him feel nostalgic and angry, but he finally didn't address this matter anymore After saying something, he just looked at Dazai, "Let's go, Dazai."

His tone was flat as if he was picking up a child home from school.

Osamu Dazai got up from the cushion, scratched his head like a child who did something wrong, "Why are you here..."

"Didn't you promise me to stay?" Izanami's words interrupted the two people's gaze.

She looked at Osamu Dazai, her eyes mixed with hurt and madness after being deceived, "Are you going? You have clearly promised me!"

The pool not far away was like boiled water. The originally calm water surface was suddenly stirred by some force, and something was about to move in it.

Dazai Osamu looked around, took two steps back in the direction of Oda Sakunosuke, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, miss, since he's here, I have to find another solution—but let me ask In a word, under the current circumstances, can you still allow him to leave Huangquan?"

Oda Sakunosuke: "Dazai!"

"So lonely...so lonely..."

Half of the girl's face in the eyes of the two slowly fell off like melting wax, revealing a terrifying skeleton inside. Her long hair was spread out, her head was slightly lowered, and she murmured broken words:

"My friend... seems to be..."

Izanami's long hair flew towards Osamu Dazai like a sharp weapon. Osamu Dazai stepped back, but at this moment he suddenly felt a layer of coolness on his back, a feeling very similar to when he was blindfolded again. He turned his head and lay on his shoulders. Looking at a female ghost with long hair covering her face, she was grinning at him.

"First line!"

A white light flashed in front of his eyes, and an unknown force repelled the female ghost from behind. The moment before Izanami's hair touched Dazai Osamu, he was pulled back a few steps by the wrist.

The figure fell into the opponent's arms, Dazai Osamu turned his head slightly to look at Oda Sakunosuke's side face, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help smiling: "Oda Saku, that move just now is so powerful, when did you learn it?"

The female ghosts who climbed up from the pool surrounded the two of them, and there was Izanami who was staring at him in front of him. The corners of Oda Sakunosuke's lips were tightened, and he was held by the dagger that Yato gave him before he left. Chest, calmly and cautiously observing the surrounding situation.

He ignored Dazai's words.

Osamu Dazai lowered his eyes and raised them again, not minding the other party's ignorance at all, instead he smiled and asked another question: "Is Odasaku sure to rush out?"

This time, Sakunosuke Oda finally had some reaction.

Although he still didn't look at the other party, his lips moved, and then he spit out two words:

"No."

"Is that so..." Dazai Osamu felt a little regretful, "Then Oda Tsukuru will die with me?"

After he finished speaking, before he even had time to look at the other person's expression, he heard Oda Sakunosuke's answer without hesitation: "Okay."

Dazai looked at him blankly.

After a while, he lowered his eyes and smiled silently.

"I lied to you, how could I..."

He stopped what he said, and suddenly raised his hand and waved in the direction of Izanami, and shouted with a bright smile: "Hey, Miss Izanami! Can you wake up, let me say another word!"

"I have another deal I want to make with you!"

-

The scenery of leaving is completely different from that of coming in. It seems that Izanami’s instructions, the eyes that existed in Hirasaka Cave or the monsters that inhabited disappeared, even if I walked in it like a walk, I didn’t encounter it. any attack.

But the stench from here is still the same.

Dazai Osamu looked at Oda Sakunosuke who was walking ahead, feeling a little uneasy. After all, the other party hadn't spoken to him since Izanami's answer that they agreed to leave, and walked ahead on his own , Ren Jing spread around.

"Hmm..." Osamu Dazai tentatively said, "I asked Oda Zuo why he came, but I never got an answer, and what happened to Oda Zuo's move just now? That dagger, I remember it was Yato God? Have you met him?"

Oda Sakunosuke did not answer.

"By the way, has the potion for Kazuki-kun been delivered? Odasaku's speed is really fast, well, but because it's Odasaku, it's always beyond my expectations..."

Oda Sakunosuke's footsteps paused, but the breath around him became even colder.

"...Since Odasaku is here, does it mean that Aoi-kun helped hide and block things? I'm sorry, Odasaku, I didn't want you to worry, but I also wanted you I saw me after I got home, but I went to hell when I didn't collect enough information, it's really troublesome..."

After these words, Oda Sakunosuke still seemed to have no intention of answering, Dazai Osamu stopped and couldn't help complaining: "Oda Saku, are you going to keep ignoring me?"

The person in front finally stopped in place.

He seemed to lower his head, his voice was very low, with imperceptible coldness: "Dazai, am I really beyond your expectation?"

Osamu Dazai paused, "Ah, did Odasaku mean 'you will learn from Aoi that I'm coming to Huangquan'? In fact, in order to be able to leave Huangquan, I also prepared a backup plan. This plan It has something to do with Aoi and Odasaku, so if I say I expected it, I definitely expected it."

He explained: "There is a record about the underworld, 'People in the underworld can leave the underworld if they hear people from the other side calling their names.' So I told Aoi that I would let Izanami Remove Oda Saku's identity from the other side as soon as possible, so that even if I can't come out of Huangquan by myself, I can let Oda Saku who was helped by Aoi back to this shore call my name and leave Huangquan."

His tone was relaxed: "So I will leave here anyway, but Aoi is an old man after all, maybe I forgot to tell you, let you worry for nothing."

At first glance, what he said seems to be well-founded, but after careful analysis, it will be found that he did not directly answer Oda Sakunosuke's question at all.

So Oda Sakunosuke just closed his eyes, exhaled slowly, then turned around and punched Osamu Dazai silently.

Osamu Dazai staggered back two steps from the sudden attack, until his back was against the wall, he still tilted his head and did not recover.

But Oda Sakunosuke raised his hand and grabbed his collar tightly, forcing him to look at himself.

"What do you mean by worrying in vain?" He asked slowly and word for word.

"In your opinion, is my worry superfluous? Is it unnecessary?"

Osamu Dazai moved his lips: "No..."

However, Oda Sakunosuke didn't intend to listen to his answer at all.

His long eyebrows were pressed down, and a pair of eyes that were very similar to the person opposite him were filled with ice and fire.

"Dazai, did you really not expect my actions? Did you really not think that I would guess your actions in advance and even get rid of Aoi's obstruction? If not, why did you let Yato reject me?" Becoming Nora's request, even thinking about how the two of them would escape from Izanami's hands in advance?"

He looked straight at the other person, and said sharply, "What are you looking forward to? What are you afraid of?"

"Dazai, tell me!"

Osamu Dazai's eyes shrank, as if he hadn't recovered from the shock just now, and then encountered a new predicament, showing a look of bewilderment on his face.

If it wasn't for the wall behind him, I'm afraid he would have backed away until he avoided the too cold eyes of Oda Sakunosuke.

But now he can't retreat.

"I, I just... You said that you didn't write novels because you lost your qualifications. I just want you to do it again and regain your qualifications. I know this is your regret..."

Oda Sakunosuke: "My regret is you!"

Osamu Dazai shrank suddenly as if he had been stabbed by something.

"Dazai..." Oda Sakunosuke slowly let go of the hand holding his collar, and instead put his palm on the other's cheek that was already flushed from being beaten, "When the child died, the dream of writing a novel was already I gave up, and before I die, I have only one regret - and that is you."

"I couldn't hug you who was lonely at that time, and I ignored your hand asking me for help. I'm really sorry."

"After meeting Aoi, I didn't accept Aoi's chance because I thought I couldn't complete the other party's commission, and I didn't go to the underworld with the children because I wanted to wait for you at the entrance."

"I think, at least in the end, at least when you have completely given up hope of life, I can still bring you a company that is better than nothing, so that you can temporarily forget loneliness."

"So, say it, don't hold it in your heart," Oda Sakunosuke held the other's cheek with both hands, the coldness in his eyes had long since dissipated, and he said softly, "You can tell me anything, you don't Not alone!"

"Liar."

Osamu Dazai didn't look at him, and after saying this, he lowered his head slightly, his forehead hair drooping down, completely covering half of his face.

Oda Sakunosuke wanted to speak, but before that, he suddenly felt a burst of warm moisture on his fingertips.

Like raindrops falling suddenly.

"You said I'm not alone..." Dazai Osamu's voice was hoarse, "But your company is limited in time."

His body gradually trembled, and then it seemed that the dam with excess water was finally washed away, and he swung Oda Sakunosuke's hand away violently.

"I know! Gaining means losing at the same time, I have always known this! So I am always imagining that you will leave in the next second, and what kind of emotion will I use to say goodbye and deceive myself? He kept telling himself 'it's okay' and 'it's really lucky to meet again', but—" he raised his head and shouted uncontrollably, "but how can it be okay!"

Osamu Dazai looked at him with those bloodshot eyes, the tears on his cheeks were still wet, but he stubbornly refused to shed any more tears.

He trembled and shouted hoarsely: "I am also a human being! I will also be anxious when I get it back, and I will not want to let go of the things that have finally come back. Am I wrong!"

"Yes! I'm looking forward to you coming to save me, but I'm afraid of you coming to save me! It's like I want to tell you my feelings for you, but I'm afraid of all the results after that."

"Because I've never been able to predict whether you will leave or not!"

Oda Sakunosuke also seemed to be stunned. After his voice fell, the two of them did not speak for a long time.

All the monsters in Birazaka have gone somewhere, and now there is not even a sound of crawling in the cave.

Osamu Dazai seemed to be tired, he looked away from Oda Sakunosuke, leaned wearily against the wall behind him, and lowered his head.

"You asked me to say..." he said slowly, "...but when did you tell me?"

"Tell me when you'll—leave me again."

Oda Sakunosuke called out his name with some difficulty: "Dazai..."

"Odasaku..." Osamu Dazai interrupted him.

"In this matter of thinking that life and death don't matter—"

"We are the same."

So worrying and nervous about the other party is also equivalent.

So when the confused Osamu Dazai meets Sakunosuke Oda who has a clear goal, he will be interested, will be attracted unconsciously, will work hard to do what the other party said, and will want to be like the other party.

But under the current situation, Oda Sakunosuke's goal is gone, he has no desire to live again, and he will not worry about his own safety.

Just as Oda Sakunosuke was worried about whether he would return to this shore, he was also worried about whether Oda Sakunosuke would leave him again.

They all hid their thoughts, but no one said anything.

Oda Sakunosuke was silent for a moment, then suddenly stepped forward and hugged him.

"sorry."

He lowered his eyes and sighed softly: "Since we all made mistakes, let's start over from here, okay?"

"If there is something, can you say it and bear it together?"

"Could it be, just for the other party - to stay?"

The head lying on his shoulder was quiet for a long time, until Oda Sakunosuke couldn't help rubbing the soft black hair of the other party, and called him, only to see the other party rub against his shoulder, and said sullenly:

"What if I want you to write novels?"

The corner of Oda Sakunosuke's mouth curled into a shallow arc.

"it is good."

He responded, "After all, this is Dazai's idea."

Osamu Dazai raised his hand and gently grabbed the hem of the other's shirt, opened his eyes, "Then what do you think?"

Oda Sakunosuke hugged him tighter, his low and slow voice seemed to swear:

"Dazai, this time, I will live for you."

The author has something to say: I'm sorry I've been writing, rewriting, and modifying this chapter for a long time, and it's a bit late.

Although neither of them has an explosive personality, I finally presented this chapter in a way that is a bit like a quarrel. People who have been silent for too long will be more depressed. I sincerely hope that they can vent a bit, and then Being together honestly, this kind of love will give two lonely people a sense of security.

In addition, the method for Odasaku to enter Hirasaka is to rely on the "realm" taught to him by the seamless + Fei in a short period of time (it's okay if you don't understand, I will write it below), that is to say, every step of Odasaku in Hirasaka He walked by death, so he could avoid the monster and walk to the place where Dazai was pulled down (because he saw the bandage that Dazai dropped, so he let the ugly girl pull him down).

Another thing is that tidying up the dormitory that has not been used for half a year is really tiring. I would like to ask for a day off tomorrow to take a rest. (Don't worry, it's only one day, this article is almost over, I will try to speed up!)
