Are you with Dazai today?

"Please give me this fish."

Two different voices came over at the same time, and the two who said this sentence were both taken aback.

Shiinagawa decided to make fish soup tonight, because Dazai has been clamoring for it lately.

In order to get a fresh crucian carp, he got up early today to prepare breakfast and lunch for Dazai.

Fried eggs, bacon and milk serve as Dazai’s breakfast, and lunch is still neatly packed in a bento box. The contents are fried shrimp tempura, croquettes, lettuce salad, and matcha cake made from the cake embryo just baked yesterday. The cup is filled with rice cake and red bean soup that has been simmering slowly over a low fire last night.

The pre-soaked red beans have become soft and rotten after several hours of cooking, and can be turned into sand on the tip of the tongue with a light touch. Shiinagawa also added three pieces of freshly baked rice cakes to the red bean soup. No one would I hate such rice cake and adzuki bean soup.

After doing all this, Shiinagawa wrote a note and posted it on the refrigerator, to the effect that he would come back later today, so he might not be able to pick him up at the Hong Kong Building in the afternoon, and the breakfast was on the table, and the milk had to be finished. The lettuce salad in the bento box must be eaten. If he finds out that he dumped the vegetables or handed them over to others, please imagine the consequences.

Shiinagawa put the suit and tie that had been ironed flat yesterday where Dazai could see them at a glance, and then he went out with confidence after making sure that there was nothing missing.

It took him two hours to go to Hokkaido by train. If he wanted to buy fish, Hokkaido fish would be better, and if he wanted to make fish soup, he would choose crucian carp.

That's why this situation happened now. To be honest, Shiinagawa didn't expect this situation. He raised his eyes and looked at the person who spoke with him.

It was a boy who seemed to be about the same age as Dazai, and he was carrying a package on his back, and the contents inside could be judged to be baseball bats based on the raised part of the fabric.

Shiinagawa was a little surprised by the young man's appearance. You must know that the crucian carp he picked just now can be said to be the best crucian carp here.

With a wealth of experience in various fields, Shiinagawa was able to tell a fish from a fish just by looking at it. This kid is definitely an old hand if he is not lucky.

But sorry, I won't let this fish out!

Shiinagawa's eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

The boy on the opposite side scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Sorry, let me give you this fish."

"Eh?"

Shiinagawa was stunned for a moment, he had obviously already written the draft to compete with the other party for this fish.

"Well... how should I put it, you seem to need it very much."

"Yes, because I want the best for my children."

child?

Takeshi Yamamoto sized up the white-haired youth on the opposite side, but he couldn't tell that he was a father even though he was not yet an adult. It's amazing. Is this the legendary baby face?

It's such a good mood to think about children!

"Well, that would be great."

The other party seems to be sincerely happy for Shiinagawa to get this crucian carp

He is a good person, Shiinagawa thought politely to express his gratitude to the other party and said goodbye. If there is no accident, they are just strangers they met by chance. They don't know anything about each other, and there will be no other intersections.

That's right, provided there are no surprises.

After Shiinagawa bought what he wanted, he rushed directly to the tram stop without stopping. He took out his mobile phone and checked the time. It was very good, and he would definitely be able to return home before dinner.

There was no one in the tram station, only Shiinagawa’s footsteps in such a large space, the footsteps were amplified by the echo, and the cold white light hit the ground, which may be the reason for the poor contact of the circuit, and the light flickered on and off.

Hmm... How should I put it, there are so few people today, it would be better to say that there are no people at all.

Shiinagawa thought casually, and walked into the tram, but there was still no one in the tram, so he found a random place and sat down to wait for the tram to depart.

"Etc., etc!"

Familiar voices sounded, from far to near, coupled with the sound of hurried footsteps, it can be judged that someone is rushing here.

Shiinagawa saw the boy he had seen before rush into the tram five seconds before the tram doors closed.

If Shiinagawa rushed in at such a speed, the boy would have no time to brake and hit the wall of the tram due to inertia, so Shiinagawa stood up and grabbed him before the opponent hit him.

"Thank you!"

The first thing the other party did after standing firm was to thank him, he was indeed a good boy, Shiinagawa confirmed his judgment again, the boy seemed a little surprised to see him

"Ah! You are the one from before."

"Well, thank you before."

"Well...that's right."

Shiinagawa noticed that the other party was holding an exquisite small box. If he judged correctly, it was a popular limited original double-flavored cheesecake sold in a super famous dessert shop in Hokkaido.

"It's amazing."

Shiinagawa sat down at the original seat with emotion. It is not easy to buy this original double-layer cheesecake. The opposite person does not recognize the stranger at all, with a hearty smile on his face that is very easy to make people feel good about.

"After all, it's a mission."

"Task?"

"Well, it's part of the mafia game. The kid said he found a representative product of Hokkaido. At first he wanted to buy seafood, but after thinking about it, this is more suitable."

The boy was not at all restrained and sat next to Shiinagawa to chat with him.

Mafia game?Shiinagawa looked at the young man in front of him, and there was no trace of gloom in the other party's smile. It looked like a person who had been living in the bright world, and he was a completely different existence from him.

How do you say the word mafia game from such a child?At least Shiinagawa felt a little cute.

"It's really thanks to you, little brother. By the way, the idea of ​​parents wanting to give their children the best is very cool!"

Uh-huh?Parenthood?who?Are you talking about him?

Realizing that the other party seemed to have misunderstood something, Shiinagawa couldn't help but defend himself loudly.

"You misunderstood, I don't have a child, the child I said is mine..."

Shiinagawa paused, Dazai is mine... what is mine?Is my friend?My loved ones?still mine

"Is it the same as my younger brother? Probably?"

Shiinagawa tilted his head and made a troubled expression. Is he the younger brother? But something seemed wrong. Obviously he should treat Dazai as a family member, but it feels strange to say he is the younger brother. What is wrong? ?Shiinagawa couldn't figure it out.

The boy was a little embarrassed at first because of his misunderstanding, but he was amused when he saw Shiinagawa like this

"How come you don't know? Is he your family?"

Shiinagawa didn't have any hesitation this time.

"Yes."

"Then is he younger than you?"

The boy asked again, and this time it was a question that could be answered immediately without any difficulty.

"of course."

"Isn't that my younger brother?"

"Yes... is it?"

Shiinagawa couldn't understand it himself, but he regarded Dazai as family and he was younger than himself, so, then, he must be his younger brother.

"Well, it's my brother."

Shiinagawa replied affirmatively, the sense of disobedience in his heart may be his illusion.

"Speaking of which, it felt so cold just now."

The boy rubbed his arms with his hands, and there were already a lot of goose bumps on his arms.

"Is the air conditioner on in the tram?"

"..."

Shiinagawa looked at the boy, exactly behind him, his pupils shrank slightly, and he gently snapped his fingers to make a crisp "click".

"Bro?"

"...you shouldn't have come up."

"Eh?"

Shiinagawa ignored the other party's doubts and quickly took out his mobile phone. The signal on the mobile phone showed that it had become the weakest. Shiinagawa took the time to send a short message to Osamu Dazai.

【Go back later today】

The text message was sent tenaciously through the weak signal after a few seconds of loading, and the phone's signal completely disappeared the next moment it was sent.

After doing all this, he slowed down and sat up from his seat as gently as possible, as if he was afraid of provoking something.

"But it might be my fault, sorry."

For some reason, Shiinagawa was able to understand that this happened because of him, he was attracting weirdness.

He wasn't guided here on purpose, it's just easier to get in by mistake than ordinary people, but even that should be an extremely small probability event.

Maybe it was because of the ["$%^=] aura of ["$%^=] from the riot at Spider Fantian Liuli's side, so he entered this space all of a sudden, and this boy was completely involved by himself, just because he was with him. He came into close contact, which caused the other party to also be contaminated with a little breath.

"Although you shouldn't be attacked, please don't leave my side next time."

The boy was puzzled, but then he was stunned because he saw Shiinagawa's eyes.

Those eyes reflected the scenery he didn't see. There was no one in the tram, and it was obviously full of people, but most of those people were incomplete, some only had their lower body, their intestines were exposed, and some had no half face. There is only blood flowing out, which is absolutely abnormal.

It was pitch black outside the window of the tram, one after another eyeballs of different sizes were tightly attached to the window, the eyeballs were covered with red bloodshot eyes, and their sights followed the only two living people in the tram.

The boy swallowed lightly with a grunt, and Shiinagawa noticed the throbbing of the opponent's throat and the sudden clenched hands.

Like Shiinagawa, the boy gently put the cake box on the seat and slowly took out the baseball bat in the package he was carrying.

"It's okay, as long as you don't provoke them, they won't attack you, and I won't let you have trouble, I'm Shiinagawa... that..."

Shiinagawa thought that the other party was frightened, and he tried his best to choose his words in order to make the other party believe in him, but later Shiinagawa found that he was thinking too much, because the boy had doubts and fears in his eyes, but he was very calm.

Shiinagawa felt that he might have misread it. This young man might not have lived completely under the sun, because of that look, he knew that kind of look. The silver wolf Dr. Mori brought over before had similar eyes to this young man.

Those were the eyes of a killer.

"Takeshi Yamamoto, my name is Takeshi Yamamoto."
