The whole of Yokohama thought we were together

It's night time.

Rejecting the subordinate’s idea of ​​escorting him home, Ango Sakaguchi bought a bottle of Mianmian Break from a vending machine on the street, and when he poured it into his mouth, he realized that there was no need to drink it even if he didn’t have to work overtime at night. .

Ango Sakaguchi sighed.

[Poor people who make this a habit...]

Halfway through his sigh, he saw a familiar figure on the street.

The other party seemed to be looking for something, and his eyes quickly scanned the names of the shops on both sides of the street, without stopping for a moment, looking a little anxious.

Ango Sakaguchi was still hesitating whether to say hello to the other party, but the next second, the other party had seen him, and was stunned for a moment when they looked at him, and then a complicated expression appeared on his face.

Ango Sakaguchi held his Mianmian to break: "...Mr. Oda?"

Oda Sakunosuke was silent for a moment, and walked over, but the complexity on the face not only did not diminish, but became more serious as he walked in.

Ango Sakaguchi felt a little strange: "...Mr. Oda, do you have anything to say?"

Oda Sakunosuke paused: "No."

"Really? Your expression now is as if you are looking at something novel, very strange..." Ango Sakaguchi pushed down his glasses, "Of course it's even more strange that I can see your expression now."

Oda Sakunosuke: "..."

He really didn't know how to answer this question.

Ango Sakaguchi seemed to realize this, and immediately changed the subject: "Mr. Oda, what are you looking for?"

"Yeah." This time, Sakunosuke Oda was finally able to talk normally, "I'm looking for a room."

"A house?" Ango Sakaguchi looked at the surrounding shops, "On this street?"

Oda Sakunosuke sighed: "I'm not sure, I've only seen that house twice, and it appeared in front of me on its own initiative every time."

"Appearing on your own initiative? It sounds incredible, so, what kind of room is it?"

"The House of Response," Oda Sakunosuke said.

"..." Ango Sakaguchi was silent for a while, took out his mobile phone, and asked, "Do you need to contact Ms. Yosano for you?"

Oda Sakunosuke: "...I'm not sick."

Ango Sakaguchi held the phone and didn't seem to believe it.

Oda Sakunosuke rubbed the center of his brows in frustration, and through the gesture of raising his hand, Ango Sakaguchi saw a scratch on the outside of his arm that almost covered the entire forearm.

The most serious part was still oozing blood, visually it was a new injury, no more than an hour old.

Ango Sakaguchi stuffed the phone back, took out a handkerchief, and handed it to him: "Looking at it now, it's even more unbelievable for me to see Mr. Oda injured."

Oda Sakunosuke was stunned for a moment, and followed the other person's gaze to see the wound on his arm. After thinking about it, "It should have been scratched by bumping into the corner of the wall when going out, and I didn't notice it..."

[Then how anxious do you have to be so that Mr. Oda can't even hide from the corner? ]

Ango Sakaguchi watched the other party take his handkerchief, thoughtful.

"Mr. Oda...what are you looking for for the Room of Requirement?" Ango Sakaguchi said slowly, "I'm a little surprised that Mr. Oda would believe in such a thing."

Oda Sakunosuke paused, but he didn't intend to hide it: "I want to find someone."

"who?"

"Osamu Dazai." After Oda Sakunosuke finished speaking, he saw Ango Sakaguchi's dazed look, which was expected, but he lowered his eyes in disappointment, "You don't remember, I also forgot—no, Rather, there are many things that he doesn't want me to know, but I still know."

Ango Sakaguchi became more and more confused: "Mr. Oda, what are you talking about?"

Oda Sakunosuke lowered his arms.

After thinking for a while, he said to Ango Sakaguchi: "Ango, so in a certain world, we can be friends drinking and chatting together."

Ango Sakaguchi: "...Huh?"

He curled up Mianmian's broken fingers, and couldn't help but want to take out his mobile phone again and call the person in charge of the detective agency.

This Mr. Oda is really not right tonight.

Oda Sakunosuke didn't seem to care how much his words had impacted him. After handing the handkerchief back to Ango Sakaguchi, he turned around and left. It seemed that he was going to continue searching for Nao Shizi's "House of Response".

"Go back and rest early, Ango, you have to work so hard, your body will not be able to bear it." Oda Sakunosuke said so before leaving with his back turned to him.

[This is so weird...really so weird. ]

Ango Sakaguchi stood on the spot for a while, and his legs that were going to move towards home somehow chased after Oda Sakunosuke.

Although he couldn't tell the reason, but he always felt that he seemed to have no choice but to just leave the other party alone.

Sakunosuke Oda was still looking for the "House of Requirement" he called little by little on the street. His eyes swept almost inch by inch from the shops and walls on both sides of the street, and even the little ones he occasionally encountered Alleys are not spared.

Ango Sakaguchi followed behind him not too far away. The other party obviously knew about this, but he didn't care, and he didn't know if he had no energy or didn't care at all.

When the opponent entered the alley for the third time, Ango Sakaguchi drank up Mianmian Break.

To be honest, Mianmian Break couldn't save the worker, because he still felt tired shortly after that.

The pointer on the watch was about to point to nine, and Ango Sakaguchi stopped, holding his forehead and taking a breath.

[Even I have become strange...]

Just when he began to feel that his actions were too stupid, and hesitated whether to leave and leave, he found that the person in front stopped.

They had already walked from the city center to the suburbs, and not far in front of Sakunosuke Oda was a stone step leading to the mountain. There were street lights on both sides of the step at intervals, but the lights were blocked by attracted mosquitoes. The road was so dim that it was almost impossible to see the environment above.

And Oda Sakunosuke only glanced up, and stepped up without hesitation.

"Hey, wait... Oda-san!"

Ango Sakaguchi ran a few steps and chased after him. The other party had already walked the first step within a few steps, and he didn't seem to want to "wait a minute" at all.

Ango Sakaguchi sighed, and couldn't run after a few steps, so he had to walk slowly, but still blurted out in confusion: "Mr. Oda, is your 'House of Requirement' on it?"

He wiped the sweat from his forehead: "How do I remember, this is... Inari Shrine."

Oda Sakunosuke paused, looked back at him, and finally slowed down: "Well, I couldn't find the 'House of Requirement', so I had to come here."

"Please God..." Ango Sakaguchi's breathing was a little disordered, "People seldom do this kind of thing nowadays. In recent years, the number of people praying in the shrine has been greatly reduced, and it is very deserted even around the New Year."

Oda Sakunosuke: "Why?"

"Why?" Ango Sakaguchi stopped and slowed down, "Phew...probably because...the wishes you pray for are always not fulfilled."

Oda Sakunosuke stopped talking, as if he was thinking about something.

When Ango Sakaguchi stopped for the third time, the two of them finally passed through the torii gate and walked to the outside of Yugaki.

The shrine is not lit at night, the street lamps behind and the moonlight above the head can only outline a vague outline of the shrine, but the details cannot be seen clearly.

But Ango Sakaguchi's common sense is still there.

Normally, the gate of the shrine would be closed at night, and even if he wanted to pray, he couldn't walk in front of the god. He really couldn't understand why Oda Sakunosuke came here.

And just when he was confused, the other party actually opened his mouth and asked, "Is anyone there?"

Sakaguchi Ango: "..."

The evening wind in summer blows the hanging ema and rattles, and the birds in the forest are startled by the sudden noise, and fly away in groups with flapping wings.

As expected, no "person" answered Oda Sakunosuke's question.

"Mr. Oda," Ango Sakaguchi felt that he had to speak, "I don't think anyone here will come to pray in the middle of the night except the two of us. Besides, are you here to find someone?"

Oda Sakunosuke was as good as he was, and changed his words instantly: "Is there a god?"

Ango Sakaguchi: "...you are so clever."

After getting no reply to this question, Oda Sakunosuke walked into the shrine grounds and walked straight to the main hall.

Ango Sakaguchi was about to remind him that the main hall does not open at night, when the other party suddenly took out a gun from his arms, pointed at the lock on the hall door and pulled the trigger!

"boom!"

Ango Sakaguchi: "Mr. Oda?!"

[Although it is true that most people do not believe in gods nowadays, this is too bold! ]

However, not only was the opponent not stopped by him, he even found that the door lock was not fixed after one shot, so he decided to shoot again.

But before he fired the second shot, someone behind the two suddenly said:

"Inari God is not here, Oda-san."

Ango Sakaguchi was stunned for a moment, then turned around in an instant, and saw a young man about seven or eight years old sitting on the Tesui house in the courtyard, wearing clothes that looked like ancient hunting clothes, his expression was plain, but he seemed a little lonely .

Oda Sakunosuke hesitated: "You are..."

"I'm Aoi." The boy said, "I was there when Dazai-san fought with Tian, ​​but you may not have noticed me, Oda-san."

He thought for a while, and slowly said: "I have been helped by Mr. Dazai before, so when I repay Mr. Dazai, I am willing to do my best to get Mr. Dazai back to this shore, but I didn't expect..."

Unexpectedly, what that person thought was not just returning to this world.

Oda Sakunosuke understood instantly: "You made Dazai come back?"

After getting the affirmation from the other party, Oda Sakunosuke nodded: "Thank you."

Aoi lowered her eyes and said nothing.

Oda Sakunosuke thought about what he said just now, and immediately asked: "What do you mean that Inari God is not here?"

Aoi looked at him, and there was a shocking fact in her plain tone:

"In this world, apart from me with special abilities, there are no other gods."

The author has something to say: Ango shrinking in the corner: Who am I?where am I?Can I hear some Yangjian words?
