The whole of Yokohama thought we were together

"why?"

As soon as Oda Sakunosuke said this, he quickly realized, "Did Dazai do it?"

"I'm very surprised that you can still think of Mr. Dazai, Mr. Oda. After all, according to common sense, this world should have been updated." Aoi didn't answer his question immediately, but asked curiously, "Who are you?" How did you remember it?"

Oda Sakunosuke was stunned for a moment, but he didn't hide it: "I received a book."

Aoi: "Books?"

"Yeah." Oda Sakunosuke nodded, "Before fighting with the sky, Dazai and I used to avoid being chased in a hotel by the sea. It was a book that Dazai asked for from me at that time."

"Um……"

After hearing this, Aoi was thoughtful, and after a while, he seemed to understand something, nodded and jumped off the hand water house.

His movements were light, and the hunting clothes on his body were not messed up when he landed.

"In that case, you and I can go, and we will talk about the rest on the way."

Oda Sakunosuke: "Where are you going?"

"Go to where Mr. Dazai is currently."

After hearing the words, Oda Sakunosuke immediately followed his steps, but the little god took two steps, but turned back with embarrassment, his face was full of embarrassment, "That, I just remembered, that place is a little far away ...Mr. Oda, do you have a car?"

Oda Sakunosuke also turned his head and looked at Ango Sakaguchi who was loosening his tie not far behind him.

Sakaguchi Ango paused: "..."

[Don't go too far! ]

After half an hour—

Oda Sakunosuke closed the car door and sincerely said to the person in the front driver's seat, "Thank you."

Sakaguchi Ango: "..."

[How did things get to this point? ]

However, no matter how entangled it is now, the deal is done, and Ango Sakaguchi had no choice but to follow the instructions of the so-called god and drive the car to Matsue City.

Even at night, the interior of the car is very stuffy in summer. Ango Sakaguchi put down the windows on all sides while driving, and the wind blowing in through the windows finally gave him a bit of coolness.

The god behind him spoke at this moment.

“[Book] is the most unstable factor in this world, so the purpose of Mr. Dazai’s return here is to completely eliminate the existence of [Book]. He wrote a script in [Book] that uses the sky to destroy the world, And the words 'The world collapsed and reshaped when Osamu Dazai died' to create a connection with [Book]. After that, he led the gods to oppose him, and let the power of the gods fall on him and [Book], [Book] is impacted by external forces in the process of remodeling, and it will be destroyed by itself to a large extent."

Oda Sakunosuke caught the key point: "To a large extent?"

"Well." Aoi nodded, "Mr. Dazai is not sure that everything will develop as he thought, so he also left an opportunity from the outside - a chance that even if he fails, the world can exist and operate normally. .”

"He left a page [of the book] for another world."

Oda Sakunosuke rubbed the corner of his clothes subconsciously, he turned his head to look out the window at the shop that was quickly moving backwards, and was silent for a moment.

At this moment, he didn't know whether he should marvel at Osamu Dazai's thoughtfulness, or feel that he had done so much, but he just wanted this world to exist forever and stably.

this false world.

"Have you used this page?" Oda Sakunosuke asked suddenly.

"No." Aoi said, and looked up at him again, "Speaking of which, it may have something to do with Oda-san."

Oda Sakunosuke was stunned, and turned his head: "Me?"

"Yes." Aoi nodded, "At that time... when Mr. Oda left, the power of the wish 'I hope Dazai will live first' remained on the Omori, and was conveyed to Mr. Dazai through the Omori...Because the god It is the wish itself, so at that moment Mr. Dazai became a special god of the spirit."

"Emperor spirit", that is, the ability to make a contract with the soul and transform it into a weapon. At that time, the huge power of will was transformed into the divine power in Osamu Dazai's body, making him a god directly from a necromancer. That's why he is special.

"And after that..." Aoi lowered her head and sighed very lightly, "Mr. Dazai once again used all his divine power in the confrontation with Amaterasu, and the powers of [Book], Tian, ​​and Mr. Dazai converged at the same moment When they come together, they are mutually exclusive and antagonistic, and when the [book] reshapes the world according to the setting and is destroyed by the impact, the gods also fall together."

"Wait..." Oda Sakunosuke asked immediately, "Since they are mutually exclusive, what about Dazai?"

Since the 【Book】was destroyed together with the gods, it was impossible for Osamu Dazai, who was at the center of the confrontation, to remain unscathed.

Hearing his question, Kwai's face seemed a bit complicated, and even his tone was a bit elusive.

"It's God Inari...his artifact blocked part of Mr. Dazai's attack." Aoi looked at him, "You should also recognize that artifact. It's a fox with a human-like name called Nagata."

"...is it?" Oda Sakunosuke was surprised.

No wonder, after leaving the cruise ship, he didn't see the fox again.

At that time, he thought it was lost. Although he was very worried, he had no choice but to protect himself, and he didn't have time to look for it. He didn't expect that the other party was always by their side.

"Well, I was also surprised when I heard about it from Mr. Dazai." Although she said surprise, Aoi's expression became more and more depressed.

After experiencing so many things, he found that he could no longer treat God Inari with the attitude he had before.

When he was born, it was the other party who guided him out of his confusion, helped him get in touch with the world, and understood his identity and responsibility; and when he was about to die, it was the other party who rescued him.

Although he didn't say it, he almost regarded the other party as an existence of faith.

But what if "Faith" approached just to take advantage of him?

He didn't know what to do.

Even though he has existed for thousands of years, he doesn't seem to have learned the wisdom of human beings.

Ango Sakaguchi looked at the rear seat through the rearview mirror, and everyone there fell into their own thoughts at the same time, allowing silence to spread in the car.

He didn't speak either.

Although there are still many mysteries that have not been solved, the rest of tonight is enough time, and they don't need to rush for this moment.

When the car drove into Matsue City, Aoi began to guide Ango Sakaguchi, and drove in the direction Aoi said for about a quarter of an hour. They stopped beside a small forest.

The light here is really bad. In order to see Aoi's so-called small road clearly, Ango Sakaguchi did not turn off the lights after several people got off the car.

Two beams of yellow lights shone|into the forest with dense branches and leaves, and the light and shadow interlaced, rendering the atmosphere extraordinarily gloomy.

Ango Sakaguchi looked at the path leading to the forest ahead, with a bitter face: "Where does this lead?"

Kui had already stepped onto the path at this moment, and turned her head when she heard the words: "Huangquan."

Sakaguchi Ango: "..."

[Unexpectedly, I have not died suddenly at work, so I came to seek death myself. ]

Oda Sakunosuke seemed to have no scruples at all, he just asked, "Is Dazai here?"

"Yeah." Aoi turned her head back and continued to move forward, "Although Nagata helped Mr. Dazai block part of the attack, the departure of the creator will still cause the birth of the god to fall and change."

Oda Sakunosuke paused.

"Replacement means losing all memories and starting over. Even I can't keep the memory of another god. Mr. Dazai doesn't want to do this." Aoi said lightly, "Plus, he has been in contact with the face monster for too long, and his body is already damaged. Contaminated with evil spirits, he simply chose to come to Huangquan, and let the group of monsters pull him in, thereby sealing himself off."

"Izanami won't let those monsters eat Dazai-san because of his past friendship," Aoi stood still at the entrance, the shimenawa coin above the torii gate was severely worn, and it was blown by the wind, making a rustling sound. "And that's the only way Mr. Dazai can keep his memory."

"Mr. Oda, it's very dangerous here, but if you want to bring Mr. Dazai out, that person must be you."

A unique connection between the Creator and God that no one else can feel or match.

If you want to find Dazai Osamu among those irrational monsters, no one can do it except Oda Sakunosuke.

Oda Sakunosuke looked inside, and the cave was pitch black, and the moonlight that shone down seemed to be swallowed by something, and there was no trace of it leaking.

Oda Sakunosuke supported the wall at the entrance of the cave, and suddenly said: "He likes to sleep in a completely dark environment."

Aoi looked at him.

Oda Sakunosuke said again: "However, after waking up, I still have to bask in the sun."

Aoi withdrew her gaze, and in the next moment, she finally showed her first smile since tonight.

Although they are different, they are similar.

What an amazing feeling.

He raised his eyes and said to Sakunosuke Oda, "Mr. Oda, remember not to meet the eyes of the demon."

After listening to the necessary instructions, Oda Sakunosuke stepped into the underworld without hesitation.

The darkness gradually engulfed his back, Aoi lost his mind, and then realized that there was another person beside him.

He turned his head, and the other party also looked back from the cave at the same time, looking at him.

Aoi smiled and said, "Mr. Sakaguchi, I have heard your name many times from Mr. Dazai and Mr. Oda. This is the first time we have met officially."

Ango Sakaguchi looked at him for a while, then shook his head. He took off his glasses, wiped them with the corner of his clothes, and smiled politely: "No, the person you are talking about is probably not me."

Aoi was a little surprised.

"To some extent, it's not you, but I thought Mr. Sakaguchi would like to ask me some questions."

Ango Sakaguchi put his glasses back on, raised his hand and saw that the hands of the watch were close to twelve, frowned immediately, and sat down against the torii gate with some headaches.

"Although it was an accident to come here," Ango Sakaguchi rubbed his forehead, "But I learned all the things I should know on the road."

Aoi: "Mr. Sakaguchi is really a calm person."

"You are wrong." Ango Sakaguchi flatly denied, "My world view has collapsed and reshaped three times. My current state is worse than not sleeping for three consecutive days."

"……I am sorry."

Aoi also sat down by the entrance of the cave, and said slowly: "Although I had a premonition that Mr. Oda would go to find Lord Inari, but I didn't expect that Mr. Sakaguchi would follow. Obviously, at this time, you should not be familiar with him." That's right..."

Ango Sakaguchi nodded: "I also think that's right...if I hadn't had that kind of dream."
