Seeking the Law of Summoning in Taisho

Fujiya's old lady was also like his son, treating them with respect, but her talkative personality made her respect mixed with familiarity.

So during the meal, several people were forced to listen to each other's gossip about what happened in Shibuya.

Of course, this "forced" does not include Yoshiyuki Tomioka, who is fighting for the great cause of salmon radish.

"...the owner of the coffee shop in the mansion has only one daughter, but do the adults know how this daughter came from?" He took it back silently.

Osamu Dazai listened with relish, and shook his head when he heard the words: "I don't know, how did you get here?"

The old lady lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "I heard that it was obtained from the Bliss Teaching of the World of All Times!"

"Eternal Bliss Cult?" Osamu Dazai raised his eyebrows.

This name sounds like a cult.

He looked at Butterfly Kanae, who shook his head at him, and it seemed that he didn't know about it.

"Mom, you're talking about this again." The male owner of the Fujiya was embarrassed and helpless, "No matter how you think about it, this matter is fake. How can a religion create a child out of thin air?"

"I'm not lying," the old lady touched the pipe again, curled her lips and said, "The owner of the coffee shop said it himself."

The host shook his head, and said apologetically to them, "Masters, please don't pay attention, this is all my mother's hearsay, so it can't be true."

"Well, I'm just chatting casually anyway, so relax." Dazai Osamu smiled, and looked at the old woman again, "I am a little interested in this Eternal Bliss Cult, can mother-in-law talk about it in detail?"

The old woman came to her senses, hugged the pipe in her arms, and said to him slowly: "This Sect of Eternal Bliss is an extremely mysterious religion. The congregants and the specific situation are not sure, but it is rumored that the leader of the Sect of Bliss is" The Son of God' has the ability to communicate with the gods, and anyone who can see the leader with his own eyes has fulfilled his wish and gained the bliss of the world."

……God's son?

Dazai Zhixin Dao is more like a cult.

However, he still made an appearance of listening carefully, which greatly encouraged the old woman's confidence in telling stories.

"The owner of the coffee shop suddenly brought back a baby girl 13 years ago. When everyone asked, he said to outsiders as if showing off, 'This child was obtained from the Bliss of the World because he didn't want to endure loneliness.'" The old lady thought about it for a while, and then said, "But when others asked about the 'Eternal Bliss Cult', the boss seemed to be worried about something, so he shut up and didn't say a word. It was gradually forgotten."

Speaking of which, the old woman seemed to be quite moved, she stroked her pipe and shook her head and sighed.

"But speaking of it, the lady in the coffee shop doesn't like to go out very much. I don't seem to have any impression of her." The host seems to have given up trying to persuade the old woman, and directly picked up the topic after the other party finished talking.

...Don't like to go out?

This seems to contradict what Teruko said.

Osamu Dazai subconsciously looked at Butterfly Kanae's expression, and moved his gaze away, only to find that the other party was frowning slightly, as if extremely troubled.

"You don't pay attention to these... But it's true, not only you have no impression, but even I have no impression." The old woman nodded.

"Compared to me, it's not surprising that you have no impression, Mom." The host said helplessly.

"Why not strange?" The old lady glared at him, "My memory is much better than you young people! I still remember that the disappearance of Zuiping's family seven or eight years ago is said to have something to do with this Wan Shi Bliss sect. About it."

"Eh?" the host asked in surprise, "Really? Didn't they say that their whole family has moved away? How could it be that they went to the Bliss Cult?"

"If they move away, all the things will be left at home and nothing will be taken?" The old lady shook her head, "But I haven't seen them come back for so many years, and I don't know what's going on now."

The host pouted, as if he didn't take what he heard.

A meal will be spent in these interesting and mysterious rumors.

After dinner, the old lady said she wanted to rest earlier, so she left first.

Sato took Yoshiyuki Tomioka to hone his sword skills. Although Yoshiyuki Tomioka was reluctant, he obediently followed him to the courtyard in the end and drew out his Japanese sword to get ready.

Osamu Dazai withdrew his eyes from the two, looked at the girl beside him who was still distracted, and asked, "What are you thinking?"

However, the other party's mind seemed to have traveled tens of thousands of meters away, and his words were not heard by the other party.

Osamu Dazai laughed and said, "Xiang~Na~Mei~jun~"

"...Huh?" Butterfly Kanae was stunned, then turned to look at him, "What's wrong, Mr. Dazai?"

"Shouldn't I be the one to ask you this?" Osamu Dazai said, "What was Kanae-kun thinking, I found out during the meal, you seem to be distracted~"

Butterfly Chanahui frowned when she heard the words, and after a moment of silence, she sighed as if giving up, and said in a low voice with some embarrassment: "I found... I don't seem to remember the appearance of that coffee shop lady clearly, no I wonder if it's because of the haste these two days, my memory has declined a bit..."

"Ah~ that." Dazai Osamu said with a smile, "It's okay, I can't remember clearly, it should be a ghost."

Butterfly Chanae nodded subconsciously: "Hmm...huh?"

"Eh???" She was startled, "What the hell is Mr. Dazai talking about? Where is the ghost? Is it Hazuruichi or something?"

"It's that young lady." Dazai Osamu was calm.

Butterfly Chanahui was even more shocked: "But, but I only found a little ghost blood from the blood test, and that lady has a body temperature, and her complexion is also biased toward people. How could she be a ghost?"

The battle between Satoshi and Tomioka Yoshiyuki was fierce, and there was an ear-piercing friction sound when the Japanese swords met in the courtyard. Osamu Dazai touched his ear and shook his head.

"Well, it's my guess." He looked back at the room where he had eaten just now, and said, "If what Miss Teruko said is true, and that lady from the coffee shop really likes to go to dances, then to a large extent, She should also like shopping, going out with friends, and other crowded and lively activities. In this case, with the memory of my mother-in-law, I don’t think that she hasn’t gone out much in recent years, and even can’t remember her appearance. clear."

Butterfly Kanae: "Mr. Dazai thinks... Ms. Teruko lied?"

"No," he shook his head again, "she has no need to lie to us."

Butterfly Kanae felt that the fog was gradually being cleared: "If what Miss Teruko and her mother-in-law said is the truth..."

"That means," Osamu Dazai smiled, "that young lady will only attend dances and other nighttime events."

Butterfly Kanae suddenly realized.

Because the old lady always goes to bed very early at night, if the lady in the coffee shop chooses to go out at night, it is not unreasonable that the old lady will not be impressed.

In this case, it does look somewhat similar to the nocturnal nature of ghosts.

But in the end, it was just a guess. If they want to come up with definite evidence, they have to go back to the mansion to investigate again.

"The young lady who just met just forgot the other person's appearance. This is too rude. How could it happen to me." Dazai Osamu said "Tsk", "It must be a trick."

Butterfly Chanae: "..."

Is this your entry point, Mr. Dazai?

However, from the discussion about the lady in the coffee shop, Butterfly Kanae also thought of the rumor that the old lady told. She thought for a moment, and asked Osamu Dazai, "Mr. Dazai, what do you think of the Eternal Bliss Cult?"

"Yeah~"

Unexpectedly, Osamu Dazai let out an exclamation of unknown meaning.

Then he laughed as usual, and the tone of his words was unpredictable: "If there is a chance, I also want to meet that god's child."

He yawned, turned around, and walked towards his room first, leaving only the last light words in place, scattered in the night wind, and melted into the sound of fighting between blades.

"If the gods are fraternal, maybe there really is a kingdom of heaven in this world."

He turned the corner, and his back disappeared into Butterfly Chanae's sight.

When Yoya Ubuyashiki conveyed the result of the mansion fire to several people, he also mentioned the ticket inspector by the way.

Although Dazai Osamu did not suffer any substantial harm from that hand, I also know that the ticket inspector tied the two with a rope at that time, it is impossible to really love him so much that he cannot extricate himself, the most likely To explain, Osamu Dazai believed that Nightmare lured or threatened the other party to kill him in the dream.

Presumably, the spying that he felt in the dream at that time should also be related to him.

This matter was later handed over to the police, Dazai Osamu did not pay much attention to it, his mind was on other matters.

Part of it is the important information revealed by Nightmare’s few words before his death: Infinity City where Oniwu Tsuji is located, and, although his current whereabouts are known by Nightmare, it is very likely that Oniwu Tsuji is still there. It's not clear about this, in other words, Onimai Tsuji's ability to monitor ghosts doesn't work in all situations.

The most likely two limiting factors should be the distance of the surveillance target and the amount of blood received by the opponent.

Osamu Dazai went through his thoughts, and planned to tell Yoya Miyayashiki about the matter, but considering that most mission reports in this era are in the form of letters, he...

He kind of missed Atsushi Nakajima.

After weighing it for a while, Osamu Dazai decided to discuss the matter later.

So he had one last thing left to deal with.

Osamu Dazai took out the notebook for summoning, casually flipped open a blank page, and laid it flat on the table.

——He wanted to ask what was going on in his dream.

Butterfly Kanae told him later that the nightmare was trying to create a nightmare for everyone, so why at the end of the nightmare...is the other party helping him wake up?

He doesn't understand.

His fingertips caressed the blank paper, and then quickly tore it off along the veins of the binding, he murmured: "Oda Zuku..."
