Are you with Dazai today?

Shiinagawa got up from his sleep. The first thing he did when he woke up was to fumble for the mobile phone on the bedside table. This was the first day after the four of him had a beach trip. bed.

He scanned the screen of the phone carelessly, and his eyes were glued to the screen in the next second.

The words 43:[-] stunned him. This was the first time his biological clock betrayed him. He should have gotten up on time at six o'clock when called by his biological clock.

Why didn't you wake up? !

Shiinagawa almost jumped out of bed, it's over, it's over, it's over, Dazai is going to be late for work.

How can you be late on the first day of vacation? !

Shiinagawa hurriedly opened the door, but what he saw was a scene he had never imagined.

"Ok?"

Osamu Dazai was arranging the plates, and when he saw Shiinagawa coming out, he waved to him and gave him a wink.

"Good morning, Chuan Lisi."

Shiinagawa's eyesight was so good that he couldn't ignore the white rabbit ears on Osamu Dazai's head and the short, fluffy tail on his lower body.

Shiinagawa:? ? ?

Shiinagawa slowly reversed his actions just now, he returned to the room and gently closed the door, took a deep breath and then exhaled, maybe it was just that he just woke up and was not so awake and saw hallucinations, yes, it must be like this.

Otherwise, how can I explain why Dazai Osamu has such a strange appearance today, so strange that he would have jumped out of the window and escaped if Shiinagawa hadn't been so determined.

Shiinagawa gave himself a good psychological construction and opened the door to hell again.

Very well, the ears did not disappear, and the tail was still there. It was not his hallucination. Shiinagawa realized that he was dreaming, otherwise it would not explain his biological clock betraying him.

It's okay, okay, it seems that after waking up from this dream, Dazai will not be late for clocking in for work, Shiinagawa's first reaction was actually to think so.

Osamu Dazai really jumped up and down in front of him like a rabbit.

It's cute once you get used to it.

"Chuan Lisi, you can really sleep."

Shiina Chuan looked left and right, and confirmed that there was no third person here except Osamu Dazai and him, so Chuan Lisi could only be calling him.

"...You call me Chuan Lisi? Why do you call me that?"

"Chuan Lisi is Chuan Lisi?"

Osamu Dazai (to be determined) gave a very weak answer. Shiinagawa saw that his clothes changed into blue shorts and a small suit with a lot of white lace.

It can be said to be very girly.

Shiinagawa looked at the clothes on his body with some distaste, not because he disliked the appearance of this thing, for a person like Shiinagawa, he didn't care about the clothes he wore at all, even if he was asked to wear women's clothing, he would never blink his eyes.

only……

The clothes are too inconvenient to move around, and it doesn't meet Shiinagawa's usual requirements for clothes that are loose and suitable for activities.

Shiinagawa didn't care why he changed from pajamas to this kind of appearance, after all, this is a dream, you can't ask for any logic in the dream, right?

"What am I going to do next?"

Shiina Chuan didn't struggle too much, and directly accepted his identity as Chuan Lisi. He had already started to see this as a holographic game. He rarely dreamed, and even less lucid dreamed. Such an opportunity is quite good. Rare.

If you look at the routine of the dream, Mr. Ango, Mr. Sakunosuke, and Mr. Nakahara may appear next, right?

"This world is about to end, because the Queen of Hearts is angry, so it's all over."

"...the Queen of Hearts?"

Shiinagawa couldn't digest this world view for a while. It stands to reason that the dream is constructed by combining the original memory of the original body and the people he knows.

But Shiinagawa didn't think anyone he knew fit the world-destroying Queen of Hearts.

"Now you are the only one who can stop her, Chuan Lisi. Hurry up and get on Baiaki to meet her."

'Dazai Osamu' pushed Shiinagawa to the window, where a winged creature stopped in mid-air.

That thing is like a hybrid of many kinds of creatures. It is hard to tell whether it is a crow, a mouse, a lion, or a rotting corpse. It is a creature that is different from any kind of creature but has subtle similarities.

Shiinagawa was very resistant to sitting on this kind of creature, so let's forget about it. Compared with this, he still felt that the "big bug" was more acceptable.

"I don't want to sit..."

Before he finished speaking, he was forcibly pushed up by 'Osamu Dazai', which made Shiinagawa even more sure that this person was not Osamu Dazai at all.

There's no way the real Osamu Dazai can push him when he doesn't want to go.

Shiinagawa looked at himself sitting on this creature, not to mention how disgusted he was, even more disgusted than when he saw himself in lace.

Anyway, the body of this thing is only made of ordinary matter, so why not just break this guy's wings, Shiinagawa thought sadly.

However, he found that he couldn't move his body. This feeling is like a fixed plot in the game. You have to go, and you can't click skip.

Why can't I do whatever I want in my dreams?Shiinagawa had such self-doubt.

It was dark outside the house, and the only light sources were the waning moon and stars hanging in the sky. Even though I could still feel it was daytime in my room just now, it turned out to be a big change after I came out of the window. It was a dream without the slightest logic.

But in the final analysis, people who still pursue reality in their dreams must have problems.

Because she couldn't move while sitting on the winged creature, Shiinagawa could only let herself go and keep distracted.

At this moment, the winged creature screamed and fell from mid-air, Shiinagawa thought it must be because he was too heavy, if that was the case, Baiaki was too fragile.

You guys just quit the group.

In fact, it wasn't. He was just shot through the wings by an arrow falling from the sky during Shiinagawa's distraction.

Shiinagawa tried to move, but found that his body was still unable to move. He felt that he might wake up, because if he couldn't move at this height and couldn't adjust his posture, even he couldn't stand it.

If you die in a dream, you can wake up... Maybe you can wake up?

However, Shiinagawa did not fall as he expected, because someone grabbed his hand, um, a person suspended in mid-air.

Shiina Chuan felt that he had never seen this person before. If Shiina Chuan's overall impression was 'white', then this person in front of him was absolutely the opposite of him.

His hair is tied into a very long low braid, and he wears a loose black shirt with a black coat. The whole person gives the impression of 'black', but his eyes are purple, and Shiinagawa can guarantee that he can see them when he sees them. It ranks among the top three in the eyes that have been there.

He has a mask on his face that only shows his eyes, so Shiinagawa doesn't know what he looks like.

But those eyes, those eyes that were as clear as amethyst, gave people an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if they had seen it somewhere before.

"Why help me?"

Shiinagawa uttered these words uncontrollably.

Oh, I get it, I'm still here for the plot.

"Because you are white, and it happens that my fetish is white."

As soon as this person opened his mouth, Shiinagawa shattered Shiinagawa's good impression of "Amethyst". Now Shiinagawa doesn't want to care about the Queen of Hearts, he just wants to hit the mask with his fist. The other party's hippie smile shattered together.

"just kidding."

The other party dropped his dishonest look.

"Because you don't want to see her? So I'm here to help you, please accept it gratefully."

Shiinagawa resisted the desire to punch up his fist and asked.

"See who?"

"Queen of Hearts."

The other party held his hand and led him to run in this world that was about to be destroyed. At some point, there were many more people around, but they all looked towards him and the masked man with terrified expressions. direction to run.

"...the Queen of Hearts?"

"Well, do you still have something to say to her? I'm a broad-minded person, and I don't care about what you used to chase after me. "

"..."

It seemed that they were so abrupt when it was just the two of them in the opposite direction from the others, Shiinagawa looked at the houses that were gradually collapsing, the artificial light sources that were all extinguished, and the never-ending night.

At this moment, he felt for the first time that 'this world is really going to end'.

The screams, cries, and wailings of the people around them had no effect on the two of them, and the two of them walked straight towards the location of the Queen of Hearts.

"You who will accompany me to do this kind of thing are absolutely out of your mind."

"Hey, hey, I'm helping you. If you don't praise me, you're still hurting me here. It's really you."

Shiinagawa looked at their holding hands and didn't know how to react.

"Feel sorry."

Sorry to involve you in this, and sorry for making such a terrible mistake with my choices.

The other party looked very unhappy and gave a 'tsk' sound.

"Don't be like this, I have selfish intentions here."

"What selfishness?"

Shiinagawa looked at the other party's eyes and suddenly lit up, with a feeling of 'I won't be sleepy if you say this'.

"There's so—so many unknowns out there."

The masked man gestured exaggeratedly.

"I like the unknown, I want to understand the unknown, anyway, the hide-and-seek between me and that guy may end at any time, since I may die at any time, and be caught by that guy at any time, then I might as well do whatever I want."

"You're really out of your mind."

"Be with each other."

Shiinagawa heard the other party chuckle.

"The mighty and strongest young master has no right to speak of me."

"...Do you believe that I beat you down?"

Shiinagawa is now sure of one thing, that is, he really does not match the person in front of him!

"And I still owe you a favor, don't worry about those things that keep coming out, my partner and I will help you, you just run forward."

When Shiinagawa heard the word "partner", he felt a pain in his chest for some reason, and tears seemed to fall in the next second.

"……partner?"

Since the other party was wearing a mask, Shiinagawa didn't know what the expression of the person opposite him was, but the other party might have misunderstood what he meant, he said in a very proud tone.

"That's right, it's a partner!"

"so good……"

Shiinagawa sighed like this, even he knows that partners need to understand and trust each other.

Afterwards they did not speak any more, but kept moving toward their destination, and at last, at last, they arrived at the place where the Queen of Hearts was.

What it is?

Is that black mist?No, it's not that kind of thing, it's a mass of chaotic mass that is constantly spreading, and Shiinagawa faintly heard the sound of drums and flutes from the chaotic mass.

The Queen of Hearts is here, she is here, He is here.

Shiinagawa was sure he had encountered the spreading chaos, and he...

Then he woke up.

After Shiinagawa woke up, he touched his phone to check the time. It was six o'clock, and his biological clock was as accurate as ever. Sure enough, it was impossible to get up late!

As always, he planned to go for a morning jog for half an hour, and by the way, wake up his brain that was still a little confused after waking up.

On the morning run, Shiinagawa met a nun who was passing by. After meeting under the cherry tree, I don’t know why Shiinagawa always met her by chance. She is one of the few people who think highly of his paintings.

Occasionally they would chat about things other than paintings, which made Shiinagawa understand that the other party's parents died in an accident, but she was not depressed and devoted herself to charity activities and the like.

Although it always feels a bit strange, the other party should have a good heart.

perhaps……

"Mr. Shiina, good morning, see you again, good morning."

"Miss Tina too. Good morning."

The two nodded and passed by.

Shiinagawa came home on time at 06:30 and began to prepare breakfast. At 5:[-], he lifted the quilt of Osamu Dazai, and opened the curtains regardless of what the other party muttered about "sleep for another [-] minutes" so that the sunlight could shine directly on Osamu Dazai's face superior.

"Wow, it flashed to death."

In the end, the other party reluctantly sat up from the bed under Shiinagawa's urging.

Shiinagawa stared at Osamu Dazai for a long time until he felt uncomfortable, just when Osamu Dazai wanted to ask, Shiinagawa put his hand on his head and touched it.

Osamu Dazai:?

"It really doesn't have ears."

Shiinagawa muttered in a low voice.

"Hmm? What ears."

"It's nothing, it's just a dream that Dazai has grown rabbit ears."

"It's not just a dream, it can't be real."

"Yes."

Shiinagawa looked out the window.

"It's just a dream, it can't be real."

The author has something to say: So is it true?

The next chapter will take a big time jump.
