The Magician's Skyfall

After Akamatsu Ryu packed his things, he walked out of the kitchen and saw Osamu Dazai dozing on the sofa like soft noodles.

Maybe he is full of food and drink, Akamatsu Ryu actually has a bit of hallucination, he thinks Osamu Dazai is like a black cat that is full of food and drink, lazily dozing on the sofa, this cat's fur is fluffy, and even its belly is rarely exposed , as if you can go up and grab it.

Chi Songliu took a step towards the sofa, but soon he came back to his senses, spurned himself in his heart, and remained calm.

"I'm going to the lab, you can rest yourself."

Immediately Akamatsu turned around fluently and went to the underground laboratory.

Osamu Dazai said suddenly: "Wait."

Ryu Akamatsu was standing at the entrance of the stairwell, he turned to look back at Osamu Dazai.

Osamu Dazai raised his body with difficulty, put his head on the back of the sofa and looked at Akamatsu Ryu.

Osamu Dazai's voice sounded vague: "... I heard from Fren that every time he uses magic, he needs to switch the switch of the magic circuit and nerves. If he uses magic for too long, the nerves will twitch or even twist and break. Are all magicians like this?"

Akamatsu said objectively: "Mostly yes, although we solidify the mystery in our bodies, we are human after all, and it is impossible to maintain the state of magicians all the time."

After a pause, he added: "But there are always a small number of outstanding geniuses who can come up with various ways to avoid it."

Osamu Dazai thought that before Akamatsu Ryu beat Nakahara Chuya violently, it seemed that the whole process took less than 10 minutes?

He said with a strange face: "Can you avoid it?"

Chi Song lost his smile, and then he looked a little lonely.

"Of course it's impossible. I'm just one of the magicians. In this profession, I'm not a genius, and I don't have anything special. I have no choice but to work hard."

"But for a magician, hard work is the most disdainful thing, because without talent and opportunity, no matter how hard you work, it is useless."

Akamatsu said emotionally: "Wei Bo is like this, and so am I."

The corner of Osamu Dazai's mouth twitched, he thought of Weber's evaluation of Akamatsu Ryu, did he think he was an ordinary magician who distorted the meaning of ordinary?

Osamu Dazai whispered, "But you hit the hit last time with ease."

Akamatsu said helplessly: "When I fight, I burn money every second. The shot must be successful, and the fight must be done quickly, otherwise the loss will hurt."

Osamu Dazai thought to himself, no wonder the hands were so fierce, it didn't last long.

Akamatsu looked at Osamu Dazai suspiciously: "Why are you asking this?"

Osamu Dazai smiled: "It's nothing, I was thinking that a magician and a person with supernatural powers would really fight, and it still depends on the environment at the time. The outcome is [-]-[-]."

Akamatsu Liu nodded slightly: "Yes, both the supernatural power user and the magician have physical limitations, but the ability of the supernatural power user is not as troublesome as the magician, but the magician also has advantages. Through preparation in advance, the magician can Prepare many different attack methods, and people with different abilities only have one kind of ability available."

After Osamu Dazai got the answer he wanted, he yawned and went back to his room to rest.

Akamatsu Ryu looked thoughtfully at Dazai Osamu's back.

Although I don't know what Osamu Dazai wants to do, but if Osamu Dazai thinks that he can defeat Akamatsu Ryu with persistence, then he will suffer a big loss.

Chi Songliu raised the corners of his mouth and smiled softly.

Why did he study gemstone swords, isn't it just for magic power to last?

The gem sword can absorb the magic power of the parallel world, and there is no need to consume gems when using it. As long as Akamatsu Ryu's magic circuit is always smooth and his mind is stable, he can fight forever.

It's just that this happy state didn't last long.

Akamatsu returned to the magic workshop in the basement. He contacted Weber, told him about the failure of today's attack, and asked Weber to analyze it.

After hearing what Akamatsu said, Weber came to the same conclusion as Akamatsu.

"After that, Dazai Osamu should carry the branches of Genryu imprint with him, right?"

Chi Song murmured: "I think so too, Weber, thanks, I can handle it myself later."

He will take the gem from Osamu Dazai with his own hands.

Weber was silent for a while, and he said, "Vigilaire, he came to visit me today, and I observed a very important thing."

Chisong Liu's expression became serious: "What's the matter?"

Weber sighed and said, "Didn't I speculate before that Dazai Osamu should be a very sad person, but recently he found an unknown joy, and instead he was in high spirits?"

"I found the answer."

"He's been having a crush lately," Weber hinted.

After Chisong Liu heard this, his mind was full of question marks. After a long time, his expression suddenly changed: "It's Fren?!"

It shouldn't be Chuya Nakahara, Chuya Nakahara and Osamu Dazai are old partners, so there are only Fren and Weber...?

"still you?!"

Weber almost had a heart attack after hearing this.

Seeing that the fire was about to burn himself, Wei Bo gave up his euphemism and reserve, and said bluntly: "He has a crush on you and wants to pursue you."

After Chisong Liu heard this, his mind was at a loss, and then he said in disbelief: "Are you blind with discernment?"

Two hours ago Akamatsu Ryu thought that Weber was super reliable, at this moment he wished he could grab Weber's collar and shake it desperately.

"How could Dazai have a crush on me?"

Weber asked, "Why is it impossible?"

Chi Songliu sneered: "Then do you think the shitty things he did are normal people in love would do?"

Weber also sneered: "Is he a normal person?"

Hearing this rhetorical question, Akamatsu Ryu was speechless.

"No, no, wait for me to sort it out."

Chisong Liu's mind was a little confused.

Akamatsu Ryu tried his best to abandon his personal emotions, and tried to speculate on Dazai Osamu's thoughts based on the currently known information.

K from another world and Dazai from over there have become a deeply affectionate couple. Could it be that Dazai came to London to recreate the road of love because of the precedent?

Akamatsu Ryu murmured, "Why does a person suddenly want to fall in love?"

Weber thought he was asking himself, and he gave the answer: "Being urged to marry; needing an heir; or meeting true love."

Akamatsu felt that the reasons why Osamu Dazai fell in love were definitely not the first two, so...

"You mean, he thinks I'm his true love?"

Wei Bo heaved a sigh of relief and was very grateful: "It's really great that you can understand."

Akamatsu Liu felt that this matter was ridiculous: "But I don't feel that I have been pursued at all, but I really want to beat him to death."

Weber gloated, "So I asked him today how old he is."

He ridiculed Akamatsu Ryu: "Don't you think Osamu Dazai is like a mischievous kid who deliberately makes trouble in front of the person he likes, and even plays a prank to attract the attention of the other party?"

Akamatsu Ryu's face was a little dark.

"If it wasn't for him taking my things and throwing money at me, I would pack my bag and leave London immediately to travel around the world."

Weber's tone relaxed: "So he will never give you back your branch imprint, he is afraid that you will run away."

Akamatsu opened his mouth, but he was speechless. This logic is so smooth!

Wei Bo asked Akamatsu Ryu curiously: "What about you? What kind of person do you think Osamu Dazai is?"

Akamatsu-ryu immediately replied: "Ice-cold, tough, and sharp, he is very smart, difficult to deal with, very tough, and a formidable enemy."

Weber almost laughed out loud, and lit a candle for Osamu Dazai in his heart.

But in the next second, Akamatsu thought of the pure smile on Osamu Dazai's face when he ate meatballs today.

Akamatsu Ryu said again in a hesitant tone: "But..."

Wei Bo was startled: "But what?"

Akamatsu Ryu pondered for a while before saying, "Maybe he just wants to eat candy."

Because Osamu Dazai is too smart, sees too clearly, and is deep in the deepest dark vortex, ordinary and peaceful happiness seems so out of reach for him.

Weber said fairly and objectively: "The way he wants to eat sugar is a bit scary."

Akamatsu Ryu thinks so deeply, Dazai Osamu's way of eating candy is indeed terrifying, but it is embarrassing.

Osamu Dazai was in a bad situation. He just wanted to eat lollipops. Everyone thought he wanted to dominate the world. In the end, he could only find lollipops in the way of dominating the world.

The more Akamatsu Ryu thought about it, the more pitiful Dazai Osamu became, but at the same time, Akamatsu Ryu wanted to laugh a little.

It was as if a fierce big cat tore down the house just to find the small dried fish on the cabinet.

Weber asked Akamatsu-ryu: "Since the analysis is almost done, have you thought about what to do?"

Chi Songliu said slowly: "Give it a try, since he really likes me, I have to take advantage of it, first get the things back and then talk about it."

No matter what Osamu Dazai thinks and how nicely he said it, judging from what Dazai Osamu did before, he was provoking Akamatsu Ryu. Even today Dazai Osamu deliberately danced around Akamatsu Ryu, and his expression was mean. Makes you want to hit him.

Aside from all the rhetoric and false feelings, Akamatsu Ryu's purpose is always the same.

Get back your own magic engraving personally, and talk about the rest later.

Chi Songliu said: "Since he's being cheap, I'm going to be cheap too."

Weber rolled his eyes after hearing this, and he temporarily reminded Akamatsu: "Take it easy, the situation in London is chaotic enough, I don't want to continue working overtime."

Chi Songliu hummed lightly: "I know it well."

If you want to get back the magic engraving, strength is essential, so let's concentrate on studying the jeweled sword first.

It's just that these words didn't reassure Weber. On the contrary, Weber was keenly aware of something again.

Weber said, "Vigilaire, do you have a crush on Osamu Dazai?"

Chi Songliu was a little surprised: "Huh? What are you kidding?"

Wei Bo relaxed his body and sat back on the chair. He took a puff of his cigar and said in a calm tone, "I said he was pursuing you, but your first reaction was that he was pursuing you in the wrong way. How do you explain this reaction?"

Akamatsu Ryu's expression was a bit dazed, but he didn't speak.

Weber continued: "And you said that you wanted to kill Osamu Dazai after being pursued in this way, did you notice? You are just angry that Osamu Dazai's way of pursuing you is too childish and annoying."

"What makes you upset is the means, not the fact that he likes you."

"In other words, you can accept his liking for you."

When Wei Bo said this, he said with a smile: "If you follow this line of thinking, I can understand why he is so cheap in front of you."

"Because he knows that you will tolerate his foulness, but he doesn't know what your tolerance is, so he is testing your bottom line."

"But for the sake of money, you will endure it forever..." Weber thought for three seconds and came to a conclusion: "Just wait, he will keep being cheap until you really get angry."

"Once you get angry, he will immediately change another method to continue to stimulate you."

"He is describing you as a person. When he really finds out all aspects of you and all bottom lines, you will not be able to run away even if you want to."

The author has something to say:

Ayatsuji: I'm glad someone will take my place.

Weber: ...
