Seeking the Law of Summoning in Taisho

Purgatory Chishouro's breakfast is delicious, simple vegetable rice with a bowl of sweet potato miso soup, light and delicious.

Osamu Dazai got a lot of news from him during the meal. For example, Purgatory Kyojuro is now learning breathing techniques from Yanzhu Purgatory Makijuro. He originally planned to participate in the final selection this year, but because of his mother's death, it was postponed to next year.

Another example is Iguro Hanai, who was rescued by Makijuro from Yanzhu Purgatory from the snake ghost on Hachijo Island a year ago. He is currently studying with other trainers and will join the Demon Slayer Team in the future.

As for why Qianshourou told all of this, it is because of Purgatory Xingshourou...

"Mmm! Delicious! Delicious!"

The last person who could eat such delicious food was Atsushi Nakajima when we met for the first time.

"Father wasn't like this before..." Purgatory Qianjurou was depressed while holding the meal.

Osamu Dazai said nothing.

In fact, there is nothing static in this world. Because of different experiences, everyone changes differently.

It's just good and bad.

The three of them didn't eat fast, but even so, it wasn't until an hour after the meal that Ihei Bane, who said he was going to find someone, finally returned to Purgatory's house.

But no one followed behind.

Seeing him come back, Purgatory Qianjulang stood up and asked him, "Brother Yihei, where is my father?"

"...I failed, Makijuro-san doesn't want to come back." Iguro Xiaobanei said straight to the point.

The little snake around his neck that Purgatory Kyojuro said was Kabamaru came out from under his clothes at this moment, staring at the only stranger here, looking curiously.

Dazai took a sip of tea slowly.

Ihei Xiaobanei continued: "And——"

But before he finished speaking, Yokota Kou, who didn't know where to play, suddenly rushed back from the outside, flapping his wings so fast that he lost a few crow feathers.

"Big event! Wow!" Yokota Kou said excitedly, "Purgatory Makijuro! Resign from the post of Yan Zhu!"

Hearing this, Purgatory Xingshourou suddenly stood up.

"Brother..." Qianshourou looked at him helplessly.

"It's okay, Senshouro." Xingshoulang patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go find father."

After finishing speaking, the two walked out together, and Ihei Xiaobanei decided to stay and help look after the house.

Yokota Kou landed on Osamu Dazai's shoulder, and he heard a soft sigh from the other side.

"It's even more troublesome now..."

-

Purgatory Xingshourou seemed to be very aware of his father's whereabouts, and after taking Senshourou out of the house, he came directly to a small restaurant.

It was in the morning, and there were not many people in the restaurant. Opening the curtain of the restaurant, one could clearly count the figures sitting inside.

The genes of the purgatory family are too strong, and the owl-like long hair is inherited in one continuous line, so that the moment Osamu Dazai puts his eyes on it, he knows who is purgatory Makijuro.

The three of them walked to the corner and stood beside the man who was holding a bottle and drinking alone.

"Father, why did you resign from the position of Yan Zhu?" Purgatory Xing Shoulang asked, "Didn't you say that you will wait until I take over before resigning?"

Purgatory Makijuro did not speak, still drinking wine.

Senshouro called out cautiously: "Father..."

"Boom!"

The man who was only interested in drinking slammed the bottle on the table, and the bottom of the bottle hit the table with a loud noise, which startled the boy.

Xingjurou patted Senjurou on the shoulder, comforting the frightened opponent.

"What's the need to ask now..." Makijuro hiccupped, his face flushed because of drinking, "Anyway, my lord has agreed to my dismissal application."

Osamu Dazai sat down on the chair opposite him. At the same time, a little girl about ten years old walked in from the door. Her black hair was tied into three braids. The boss beckoned, he seemed to be a regular customer of this restaurant.

"It doesn't matter, father, the child will work hard to become the next Yan Zhu—"

"The Yanzhu thing is meaningless at all!"

Purgatory Makijuro's sudden roar not only interrupted Xingjurou's words, but also made the whole restaurant quiet. Everyone looked over in surprise, except for the girl in the corner who had been served by the boss.

She seemed to be unaware of the weirdness of the surrounding atmosphere, her eyes lit up the moment she saw the food, and she began to feast on it.

"Even if we become Yanzhu! No matter how much we do and how hard we work!" roared Makijuro Purgatory, "We can't save the person we want to save!"

He roared, but his eyes turned red unknowingly: "In this case, what's the point of working hard!"

As if tired, Makijuro took a few breaths and lowered his voice: "It doesn't matter, we can't do anything anyway."

After speaking, he began to pour again.

Xing Shoulang looked at him, was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "Go home, father."

But Makijuro stopped talking to him, the wine bottle seemed to have a magical power for him, making him devote himself to pouring wine into his mouth, almost to the point of immortality.

But Osamu Dazai's eyes were still on that girl.

After a long time, he said leisurely: "I have a good appetite..."

As soon as the words fell, the eyes of the three fell on him. Makijuro seemed to have just discovered him, and asked him with a frown: "Who are you?"

Osamu Dazai didn't answer him, just looked at the bowl on the girl's table and smiled: "Five...ten...fifteen..."

The girl is eating No.18 bowl.

He guessed wrong, the girl didn't wave to the boss when she came in, she should have signaled to the boss for fifty bowls of rice with her open palm.

"Who the hell are you? Hey!" Purgatory Makijuro looked more and more impatient, "Boy, did you sit in the wrong seat?"

"People who are blindly wallowing in sorrow, their life will come to an end." Osamu Dazai didn't look at him until then, "I am Dazai Osamu of the Demon Slayer Squad, come and ask Yan Zhu—oh no, the ex Yan Zhu has some problems."

"What do you mean by that sentence before?" Feeling a slight sarcasm in the other party's mouth, Makijuro snorted coldly, "What do you know? People on the sidelines can always say light sarcastic remarks, because they have never experienced it, so of course I can't feel anything!"

Compared to Makijuro's excitement, Dazai Osamu was still very calm, looked at the girl who put down another bowl of rice, and said: "She can eat here with such peace of mind, which shows that the surrounding environment is very good, at least the law and order will not disturb her." feel worried."

He turned his head and looked at the opposite side: "Even if you don't admit everything in the past, you shouldn't deny the efforts of others. Just because you stand still doesn't mean that others will accompany you."

Makijuro and him looked at each other, as if he couldn't find anything to refute, he quickly turned his head away and drank heavily.

After a long while, he said in a deep voice: "You only said these words to get what you want from me. It's really hypocritical to pretend to be consoling."

Osamu Dazai looked at him quietly for a moment, then laughed out loud: "Oh, I was discovered by you—but actually I didn't comfort you myself."

His smile subsided, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "The former Mr. Yan Zhu, I came to you to ask you for important information according to Miyashiki, do you dare not give it?"

The two teenagers standing aside didn't seem to expect him to change the subject so quickly, and the atmosphere in front of him became tense because of his words.

Osamu Dazai didn't seem to notice this at all, and continued: "The Purgatory Clan has been a member of the Demon Slayer Squad for hundreds of years. After being the first person in the clan to resign due to private matters, will you still disrespect the lord?"

Obviously Dazai Osamu's tone was still flat, but the people present felt a kind of pressure to be questioned.

Perhaps because of being poked at a pain point, Purgatory Makijurou's face, which was originally flushed from drinking, turned green and white, but he didn't say a word.

After a while, he put down the wine bottle, his tone was cold, but his mood was much calmer: "What do you want to ask?"

Osamu Dazai smiled slightly: "Everything about the users of Sun Breath."

Hearing this, Purgatory Makijuro's already unattractive complexion turned even worse, he said impatiently: "What's wrong with asking, you have to ask this, are you here on purpose to make me unhappy!"

Osamu Dazai spread his hands, and said something very characteristic of a scumbag: "I can't help you if you think so."

Purgatory Makijuro took a deep breath and threw the bottle on the table: "Boss, pay the bill!"

Dazai Osamu followed behind Purgatory Makijuro and left the restaurant with a smile, seemingly unaware of the other party's anger at the moment.

Senjuro grabbed Xingjurou's clothes and whispered, "Brother, Dazai-san persuaded father to go back."

"Yeah!" Xingjurou nodded, "Mr. Dazai is really amazing!"

And not long after they left, the little girl finally finished fifty bowls of rice, wiped her mouth with a tissue, and left satisfied.

-

After returning to Purgatory's home, Makijuro threw a notebook to Osamu Dazai, which looked similar to the one given to him by Ubuyashiki, very old.

However, unlike the historical facts recorded by the Ubuyashiki family from the perspective of a third person, this book presents a letter.

A letter written by Ji Guoyuan to Yan Zhu of that era.

From here, Osamu Dazai finally understood what the genius swordsman wearing the sun-shaped earrings that Yuya Ubuyashiki had experienced, and about Zhushi, about... being chopped into 800 yuan Guiwu Tsuji is miserable.

Osamu Dazai: "...Wow."

Good crumbs.

There is also the jaw-dropping operation of splitting and escaping...

Sure enough, this kind of person is not suitable for being straight.

Osamu Dazai turned another page, and found that the content of the letter was over, and what was left was the record from the sidelines, which was exactly the same as that of the Ubayashiki family, and there was a sentence in it that made him particularly concerned.

"Shortly after that, Jiguo Yansheng, Jiguo Yuanyi's older brother, became a member of Oni."

Tapping the page with his fingertips, Osamu Dazai fell into deep thought.

The swordsman who has a blood relationship with the original breath, if he becomes a ghost, he must have good strength, and he may even be one of the top strings.

If you encounter it, although it is a little troublesome, there are also points that can be used.

For example... why did he choose to become a ghost?
