Welcome to Otome Games

Dazai Osamu's complaining words made the boy at the door stunned, Akutagawa Ryunosuke opened his eyes slightly, his breathing became unsteady from the moment he heard the word "Atsukun", and he immediately raised his hand to cover his mouth. He opened his mouth and seemed to be holding back his cough.

Erika just recovered from Dazai Osamu's sudden increase in strength, she turned her face sideways, and just poked out half of her face from behind Dazai Osamu, and her sight was immediately blocked by Dazai Osamu.

I don't know if I don't want her to see Akutagawa, or if I don't want Akutagawa to see her.

Osamu Dazai turned around, and as soon as his eyes met Erika's, the cold expression on his face disappeared immediately.

"Let's go, Erika."

He seemed to have completely ignored Akutagawa Ryunosuke's intentions, and the sweet taste was entangled in the clear iris iris.

"If you waste too much time on insignificant people, you won't be able to complete the mission."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke's face immediately turned pale again.

He clenched his fists awkwardly, not knowing what to do for a moment.

To be more precise, he didn't prepare himself well for meeting Osamu Dazai here.

He had just finished his mission at the port 10 minutes ago. Although he was only 20 years old, the weak-looking Akutagawa Ryunosuke easily swept away the reactionaries who had just emerged.

Immediately afterwards, he received a call from Koyo Ozaki.

"Chuya seems to have gone drinking."

"He's not in a good mood recently, and he may be a little out of control."

"You also know what kind of disaster Chuya will be if he gets drunk."

The implication is that Akutagawa Ryunosuke's new mission is to bring Nakahara back to the port mafia safely before he gets drunk.

So Ryunosuke Akutagawa looked for the address given by Koyo Ozaki, just stepped into the bar with his front foot, and stepped out with his back foot.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke truthfully reported the possibility that Nakahara Chuya ran away drunk and smashed the bar.

When he came here, his mission for today was over.

As a result, on the way back to the port mafia, Akutagawa Ryunosuke met a group of colleagues guarding the hospital entrance, and it was said that they were helping to protect the safety of a woman in the Central Plains who had left temporarily.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke is not interested in Nakahara Chuya's private life, but waiting here seems to be able to wait until Nakahara Chuya.

After hesitating for a while, Ryunosuke Akutagawa just crossed the crowd and walked straight into the gate of the hospital.

The boy Gu Jing Wubo's eyes stirred up waves at that moment.

Osamu Dazai, the name alone can make Akutagawa Ryunosuke lose his usual calmness, let alone someone who wants to hurt the other party in front of him.

Rashomon was launched under such circumstances, and Akutagawa Ryunosuke was determined to eliminate all threats for Osamu Dazai.

As a result, he was hated by Osamu Dazai again.

"...he looks like you've hit him, Dazai-san."

Although he couldn't see the other person's face, Akutagawa Ryunosuke heard such a sentence.

With his extraordinary eyesight, Ryunosuke Akutagawa managed to capture the skirt of the student uniform that Osamu Dazai did not block.

High school student?

Is Mr. Dazai's date?

Dazai-san actually has a date!That human tiger must know one step ahead of him!

Thinking of this, Akutagawa Ryunosuke's hands were itchy.

"Huh? Akutagawa? No way, he just keeps pestering me..."

—just a dog.

Osamu Dazai originally wanted to say that.

But he recalled that in the world where Erika followed him, Erika was always pestering him like a little stray dog.

"Cute dog."

Osamu Dazai corrected his wording, he turned the other person's body, pushed her towards the back door, and said with a smile.

"That's right, Akutagawa-kun is a cute puppy. I like puppies the most."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke didn't mind being scolded by Osamu Dazai.

But it is a bit shocking to say this sentence from Osamu Dazai who hates dogs the most in his life.His eyes were wide open, his body was so stiff that he forgot to open his mouth.

"Isn't it impolite not to tell Mr. Nakahara?"

"Zhongye will only make trouble."

"..."

"And he doesn't care about such things. A nice guy like Nakaya won't be angry even if Erika blows up his car."

"I won't help you bomb Mr. Nakahara's car, Mr. Dazai."

"Hey, what a shame, Erika used to help me play tricks on Chuya together——Akutagawa-kun~ Remember to tell Chuya we're leaving~"

The sound of the conversation between the two gradually faded away.

But Akutagawa Ryunosuke was still standing there.

——Did Mr. Dazai approve of him just now?

Akutagawa Ryunosuke pondered for a moment.

Cute seems to be a commendatory word, that is, a compliment.

That is to say-

Mr. Dazai recognized him!

Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who came to this conclusion, cheered up. Although his expression didn't change much, there seemed to be a spring breeze blowing behind him, and he was still turning the little flowers happily.

"... Akutagawa?"

Hana behind Akutagawa Ryunosuke stopped because of Nakahara Chuya's confused voice.

Zhong Yuan Zhong also stood behind him and frowned at him, "Why are you here..."

Originally, I wanted to ask why you are here, but Nakahara stopped when he saw Ryunosuke Akutagawa's face.

He was silent for a few seconds, and asked the other party, "Why are you blushing?"

Akutagawa Ryunosuke: "I just met Mr. Dazai."

Oh, Osamu Dazai, that's justifiable according to the degree of Akutagawa's admiration... No, wait, what about Osamu Dazai's annoying mackerel?

Nakahara Chuya pupil earthquake.

"Where's Dazai?"

Zhong Yuanzhong also suppressed his temper and asked.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke recalled that Mr. Dazai seemed to ask him to tell Nakahara Chuya that he had left.

Dazai-san must fulfill the request!

So Akutagawa Ryunosuke looked at Nakahara Chuya with sincere eyes.

"Mr. Dazai left with his lover."

endure.

Nakahara Chuya: "Did you say where to go?"

Akutagawa Ryunosuke was stunned for a moment: "Sorry, I didn't hear it, but since we are lovers, we should go on a date."

……

As the saying goes, if people don't break out in silence, they will perish in silence.

Nakahara Nakaya, who chose the former, still couldn't bear it in the end.

In addition to the bar, another industry of the port mafia was blown up by the Central Plains.

Erika couldn't hear the explosion in the emergency room of the hospital. After all, when Chuya Nakahara came back, Osamu Dazai had already led her around a few streets.

So she began to seriously think about how to lure that cunning curse spirit out.

Theoretically speaking, mantra spirits are born from all evil thoughts of human beings, and whenever people have similar evil thoughts again, they will follow negative emotions.

In other words, if the target of the curse is Osamu Dazai, Osamu Dazai must be made to have negative emotions.

but……

Erika glanced at the excited black-haired youth in front of her.

Osamu Dazai pressed his palm on the glass window, his eyes sparkled as he looked at the poisonous mushroom-like bread in the bakery.

He glanced at Erika, then at the bread, then at Erika, and then at the bread—Osamu Dazai repeated this action five or six times, fully interpreting the word "desire" .

Erika didn't know why, so she sat down with him in the bakery inexplicably.

A young man with a beautiful face sat across from her, lazily resting his chin, bending his brows and eyes, and enthusiastically shared anecdotes about the Armed Detective Agency with her.

When Osamu Dazai is happy, he can easily please any girl.

Just his face is full of demagogy.

Erika subconsciously thought, why he never did this when he attacked Osamu Dazai before.

Is it really that?

——Death will make nostalgia accumulate over time, and people can't tell the difference between the two emotions of liking and fear of losing.

"What are you thinking, Erika?"

The cold wind from the air conditioner accurately conveyed the young man's slightly smiling voice to Erika's ears.

She came back to her senses, looked at Osamu Dazai, and replied honestly: "I'm thinking about how to lure the curse out."

Osamu Dazai said thoughtfully, "Huh?", and then let out a short nasal sound.

"Already know the answer?"

Erika hesitated for a moment: "Probably."

"But Erika seems to be struggling whether to tell me or not."

Osamu Dazai easily read her mind.

"why?"

Osamu Dazai who raised this question frowned in distress. He didn't want to get an answer from Erika, as if to prove his point of view of "because he is smarter" just now, Osamu Dazai thought hard on his own with.

He shook the silver fork in his hand, and within a few seconds, his brows and eyes suddenly brightened.

"Are you afraid of spoiling my mood? It's okay, because I'm with Erika, so I'm looking forward to the whole day today."

This is the first time Erika heard the word "expectation" from Osamu Dazai.

In his iris-colored eyes, the emotion was unbelievably soft, and the gentle light shattered on his eyelashes, making the faint smile on his lips seem a bit more real.

...Why is it at this time.

Erika felt like a sinner.

"Negative emotions, hate, regret, anger, anything is fine. If Mr. Dazai can generate these emotions, maybe he can draw that curse over."

Osamu Dazai blinked cutely.

The metal fork landed on the porcelain plate and made a crisp sound. Dazai Osamu stared at the girl's extremely serious eyes in front of him, and burst out laughing while covering his stomach.

"I thought it was something serious."

Osamu Dazai didn't mind at all that his happy mood was about to be destroyed, he stood up first, and lowered his eyes to look at Erika.

"Let's go."

"?"

"I know a place where there are no people, so that no one else will be accidentally injured by the curse."

Osamu Dazai's tone was exceptionally light.

Erika looked at him suspiciously and shocked.

"Hey, what's the matter?"

"...No, I always feel that Mr. Dazai is particularly easy to talk to today."

In normal times, Osamu Dazai would have to gag a few willful words, or simply lay down on the seat and complain in a long voice, "It's so troublesome".

Dazai Osamu thought for a moment when he heard Erika's words.

"I'm sad, Erika."

He clutched his chest and made an exaggerated hurt expression, "I'm usually very active in my work, even Kunikida-kun praised me [too busy to find anyone]."

The familiar tone of beating.

Erika breathed a sigh of relief and stood up.

It seems Dazai is normal.

In fact, there was nothing wrong with Osamu Dazai.

He just thought that if Erika had the memory of the last dungeon, she would be hated even more if she continued to be willful.

Osamu Dazai has been collecting information since he awakened his memory.

Edogawa Ranpo, Nakahara Chuya, and a boy named Goujuji from the same school as Erika.

Mori Ogai might also be one of them, but when Osamu Dazai was probing with a smile, Mori Ogai also smiled and blocked his question back.

As members of the same armed detective agency, they always act in unison in the face of a common enemy.

So Osamu Dazai briefly formed an alliance with Edogawa Ranpo.

For example, taking advantage of Erika's affection for that lovely famous detective in this world to abduct her to Yokohama.

Judging from Nakahara Chuya's previous initiative to come to the detective agency to find Erika, it seems that it is only a matter of time before he recovers his memory.

Although he didn't know what was so good about that little dwarf, it seemed that he was quite popular with girls.

We must save Erika's favorability before the little man recovers his memory!

This is Dazai Osamu's plan.

Therefore, if it was only this level of sacrifice, Osamu Dazai would be very happy.

To be more precise, Osamu Dazai hoped that Erika's request would be a little more extreme.

It would be better if the curse spirit beat him half to death.

In that way, he used Erika's guilt towards him to get close to Erika afterwards.

Osamu Dazai, who has written a perfect script, is in a good mood.

But the happier he was, the more silent there was in the abandoned church.

Erika glanced at the time.

Exactly 45 minutes, and in another 5 minutes, she was about to fall asleep.

The girl thinking this way slowly moved her eyes away from the screen, moved up a little bit, and finally landed on Osamu Dazai who was staring at her.

During this long 45 minutes, Erika's thoughts have changed from "Is there something on her face" to "Why can this guy stare at her face for so long without getting bored?"

The last time she stared at the same thing so intently was when she faced the test paper that was beyond normal difficulty in the second Ice Empress Monthly Exam.

"Mr. Dazai."

"Ok?"

"I made a bad decision, and this approach doesn't seem to be working."

The curse had cunningly left no mana residue behind, so she couldn't track her even by mana alone.

It would be bad if someone was attacked while she was leaving Yokohama at night.

Erika sent a text message to Jianren Qihai, who seemed to be experienced, 10 minutes ago, asking what to do in this situation.

But the other party seems to be very busy, until now there is still no reply.

"Talk to me, Erika."

Osamu Dazai spoke.

Erika keenly noticed that something had quietly changed in the youth's clean and clear irises.

In the gold formed by the sun, something is secretly surging.

But Osamu Dazai was still laughing.

"You have a lot to say to me. If you don't say it now, you won't have a chance."

In the dilapidated church, the colored glass cut the light, and the beam of light that fell on the ground stirred the dust, breaking the pious tranquility.

Osamu Dazai seems to be talking to [Atobe Erika] in his world through her.

The little golden bird that begged him for salvation, but was cruelly broken by his outstretched hand, and could no longer fly.

"I will not follow you again."

When she closed her eyes, Erika's aura changed.

It has nothing to do with acting skills. She is the one who plays the game copy, and she is the one who makes the choice in ABCD. As long as she is willing, she can show Osamu Dazai the [Erika Atobe] in his memory.

"I will not follow you again."

She stared at the young man in front of her, and repeated it firmly.

"I won't like you any more."

"So, I will never agree to Mr. Dazai's willful requests like before."

"This time, no matter what Mr. Dazai says, I will move forward."

——A weak person like me must do something meaningful.

——If you see the horror of my death, Dazai-san may give up his hobby of suicide because he hates the pain of death.

The child who suffered because he foresaw the future deaths of all his friends was buried forever under the first snow.

Dazai Osamu was unexpectedly calm, he lowered his eyes, quietly waiting for Erika to finish speaking.

"Then do as you say, Erika."

With an attitude completely different from what he had imagined, Osamu Dazai's eyebrows and eyes remained unchanged.

Taking advantage of his height, he leaned down slightly to talk to her with a smile in his mouth.

"But I like Erika."

"It's the result of careful consideration. It's because of Erika that I thought about it carefully."

In that world, Osamu Dazai was thinking about this question throughout his long life after Erika's death.

——What did Erika think of him?

Did you follow him because you wanted to avoid the death of your friend?If the meaning of his existence was only this, he wouldn't want to tell her the answer she wanted.

So Osamu Dazai told her that the death of Erika's friend named Xia Youjie was all her fault.

It was because she followed him and rejected Xia Youjie's invitation.

Some people say that when you are indecisive, toss a coin.

Because the moment you toss a coin, you can get the answer.

The moment his fingertips brushed against the girl's fluttering clothes, Osamu Dazai suddenly understood the reason why he badly wanted to see Erika collapse.

——It turned out to be jealousy.

Could he be jealous too?

Osamu Dazai of that world was 39 years old, embracing death alone and lonely.

It's not a good feeling to die alone.

So this time I don't want to be alone.

"What's the matter, Erika?"

Osamu Dazai has an innate coolness on his body.

He kept his voice to a minimum, with an ambiguous taste like coaxing.

"please forgive me."

It doesn't matter if it's Mr. Ranpo, or Gojo-kun who is somewhat similar to him, as long as it's not the slug that he doesn't like, it doesn't matter who Erika is staring at this time.

Just to be able to look at him the same way.

Evil thoughts are like weeds that grow wildly.

The moment Dazai Osamu had such a thought, Erika felt a terrifying spell.

The stained glass of the church was shattered, and the human-shaped magic spirit suspended in the air blocked the sunlight.

Its hollow heart is stuck with the fingers of the super-curse double-faced Su Nuo.

And the two-faced Su Nuo in the body of the knotweed Youren was watching her through that finger.
