The whole of Yokohama thought we were together

Teen Killer takes death for granted.

Not to mention the killing and blood that he has seen in the past ten years, but just to mention the commissions he has received and the number of people who died under his hands, it is impossible to count them in detail.

So the boy's death did not stir up any waves in his heart.

But thinking that the child was his former employer anyway, Oda Sakunosuke failed to leave after solving the murderer. After looking back at the corpse for a while, he turned and went to a toy store.

The bear that the boy was holding was thrown on the car by him, and Oda Sakunosuke couldn't judge whether he wanted the original teddy bear or a new one in the few words the boy said before he died. Made a decision.

The car had been driven by those people for a long time and he didn't know where it was. He didn't bother to look for it, so he picked a similar one in the toy store and took it back to the ruins.

The boy's body was still lying quietly on the ground. The red color on the chest of the white shirt was particularly conspicuous. Due to the splash of blood, it looked like a gorgeous flower.

Oda Sakunosuke put the teddy bear next to the opponent's body, thanked the opponent for the bandage at the end, turned around, and strode away.

In the future, he should never encounter a situation where the employer and the target are the same person.

Thinking like this, the young man completely forgot about it.

But what Oda Sakunosuke didn't expect was that this incident, after only half a year, made him recall it in an extremely unexpected way.

At that time, he just ran out of the underground detention center because he was tired of eating food, and walked to the curry shop in the heavy rain with the umbrella he bought in the supermarket.

There is a lot of rain in late summer. Although it can cool the sweltering weather, the muddy streets still make pedestrians feel irritable and appear to be in a hurry.

It was at this time that Oda Sakunosuke glanced away inadvertently and saw the boy.

The other party was crawling out of the river, with some water plants on his head, and he was in a state of embarrassment.

The heavy rain blurred the scene in front of him, but the young man confirmed the identity of the other party in an instant - the clothes on his body and the bandages wrapped around the skin had not changed at all, and the original mask on the other party's eyes was covered. The bandage given to the boy again appeared on the boy again.

Oda Sakunosuke felt in a trance that time seemed to have never moved forward.

The next moment, as if feeling the gaze, the boy slightly raised his head and looked over, his eyes met him through the rain curtain, it seemed... not surprising.

Oda Sakunosuke was stunned: "Kappa..."

other side:"……"

--

The light above the head reflected a small circle of light on the bottom of the white porcelain bowl, and Oda Sakunosuke vaguely saw his own shadow on the clean and almost reflective porcelain surface.

This is the house he lives in every time he accepts commissions in this city. It is extremely hidden, and only a few contacts know about it besides him.

If it wasn't for the fact that the other party walked up to him drenched to eat, Oda Sakunosuke felt that he would not have brought him here.

But it's just a temporary residence, and it doesn't matter if you abandon it later.

He held the chopsticks in his hand, and the wonton in front of him didn't even move a few mouthfuls. The person on the opposite side had already drank all the soup from the bowl. Finally, he put the bowl on the table, licked his lips, and said Voice: "Thank you."

A boy of around ten years old has messy black hair and a flat voice.

Even after taking a bath and changing clothes, the hair was still not dried, and the damp hair lost its usual fluffy strength and fell down. There was no need for him to use a bandage to cover his eyes, and Oda Sakunosuke could no longer see it. The look inside was there.

He looked down again and landed on the other person - the dark red shirt the boy was wearing was baggy, and the 15-year-old clothes were still too big for him, which made him even weaker and paler His complexion was like a piece of fragile porcelain.

It seems that it is easy to die.

...so, why?

Can the other party feign death under his eyesight?

"What are you thinking?"

Oda Sakunosuke blinked, turned his eyes back to the other person's face, and said flatly, "Why are you not dead?"

The other party answered lightly: "Because I am a monster." Oda Sakunosuke nodded: "I understand."

His reaction stunned Osamu Dazai for a moment, and he couldn't help asking: "What do you understand?"

Oda Sakunosuke caught a wonton: "Kappa..."

"..." Osamu Dazai didn't expect him to utter the word again. After a moment of silence, he put the white porcelain bowl on top of his head, "Is that so?"

Oda Sakunosuke paused: "What is this?"

"Kappa," Osamu Dazai casually took down the bowl, "it's rumored that it's a monster living in the river with a saucer on its head, as long as you trick it into draining the water from the saucer, he will die."

"...So this is a kappa." Oda Sakunosuke didn't pay attention, and the wonton on the chopsticks fell back again.

Osamu Dazai looked complicated, and asked him slowly: "What do you think the Kappa is?"

Oda Sakunosuke put down his chopsticks, thought for a while, and said, "A kind of monster that can live forever after eating?"

"That's a mermaid."

Oda Sakunosuke suddenly realized: "You are a mermaid."

Osamu Dazai stared at him: "..."

[Why is this person like this? ]

However, the other party couldn't hear his complaints in his heart, and just kept his eyes floating in the void, obviously still thinking about the difference between "Kappa" and "Mermaid".

Osamu Dazai didn't tangle with him on this matter, he turned his head and began to look at the room where the two were.

It's not big, and there aren't many things, but the necessary items are all available. Maybe because it doesn't live often, it looks very clean and tidy, but it doesn't look like a killer's residence.

It seems to be a temporary residence.

Osamu Dazai looked away, and said another thing when he spoke again: "I saw you put a teddy bear next to the corpse."

"Hmm." The boy replied, "I failed to fulfill your commission, so I have to make up for it."

"But that's not my teddy bear." Osamu Dazai said.

"Do you want your teddy bear?" Oda Sakunosuke looked up at him, "Sorry, you didn't finish your sentence at the time, I didn't know what you wanted to say."

Dazai Osamu: "..."

[He said sorry, but the man didn't look apologetic at all. ]

But Osamu Dazai didn't want to get entangled in this matter at first, he was just a little surprised about the teddy bear, so he couldn't help but ask.

After asking, he felt that this person...is really strange.

The boy opposite seemed to be different from the killer he knew, and also different from the person named "Oda Sakunosuke" he knew.

He was a little curious.

Thinking of this, he pushed the bowl in front of him forward, put his arms on the table neatly, looked at the other party, suddenly bent his eyes and smiled, and called out: "Brother Killer."

He was originally very young, and his voice was clear and smiling, so this "brother" seemed a bit like... acting like a baby.

The other party was obviously stunned, and the expressionless expression on his face gradually became more confused, but he didn't say a word.

Osamu Dazai ignored him, and smiled to himself: "You haven't completed the commission I entrusted to you."

Oda Sakunosuke seemed to frowned, and his tone was a little confused: "Aren't you going to die?"

The smile on Dazai's face faded, and he didn't answer the question directly, only said: "You got paid."

So, that is to say, Oda Sakunosuke will let Osamu Dazai die no matter what.

Moreover, it is completely dead.

Even Osamu Dazai... can't die at all.

Oda Sakunosuke glanced at the empty bowl in front of the other party, and couldn't help but think:

...Did I encounter a scam?

The two were thinking about each other, and the room fell into a moment of silence. At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Oda Sakunosuke straightened his expression, got up and walked towards the door. After seeing the people outside clearly through the cat's eyes, he opened the door and let the other party pass things in through the door.

The two exchanged a few words in a low voice, Dazai Osamu didn't listen carefully, and soon the people outside the door left, and Oda Sakunosuke came back.

"I'm going to see a client."

Osamu Dazai looked back at him: "I am also a client, can your assassins make two commissions at the same time?"

Oda Sakunosuke paused and didn't speak for a while.

He is thinking about how to solve this matter.

He is a solitary killer and has no interest in being with others, so in order to restore his daily state, he must do what the client in front of him said, and get rid of him.

But after solving it, the client will not die, he will still come back...

Is he going to kill each other for the rest of his life?

... He lost money in this deal.

"Have you decided?" Osamu Dazai opened his arms just like the time in the alley, as if he had already guessed what the person in front of him would do next.

And Oda Sakunosuke lived up to his expectations.

He took out a small knife from his pocket and walked towards the other party calmly.

[Let’s settle the matter in front of us first. ]

Osamu Dazai tilted his head and looked at him carefully, as if he was observing something, then smiled after a while: "The trouble is over once, I'm afraid of pain."

Oda Sakunosuke nodded: "Yes."

A cold light flickered under the light, blood splashed in the air, and after the sound of a body falling to the ground, the room returned to silence again.

--

Oda Sakunosuke washed his hands before going to the location of the client that the contact person told him just now.

He put away the umbrella, stood by the door, looked up at the second floor of the cake shop, opened the door and walked in.

The aroma of freshly baked soft bread wafted across his face, and the lady clerk seemed to say welcome, but he didn't respond, and went up the stairs to the second floor.

In the booth by the window in the corner, sat a woman, about 30 years old, with thick crows under her eyes, and looked very tired.

This is the client.

Oda Sakunosuke only glanced at her briefly and then looked away. He didn't care about the client, he only cared about his goal.

He didn't go to the client, but chose to sit in the adjacent booth, keeping a distance where he could hear the conversation.

Shortly after he sat down, the liaison arrived.

He went straight to the client and started talking about the details of the commission.

Through the dialogue between the two, Oda Sakunosuke roughly understood the characteristics of this target.

He is a rich middle-aged man, surrounded by bodyguards for 24-hour personal protection. The only time when he can be sure of celibacy is at the end of December every year.

At that time, he was going to pay homage to his wife in a cemetery in the suburbs, and he never let anyone follow him.

Although it is not impossible to act when there are bodyguards, it seems that the target also has some contacts in the government. If he is not careful, it may be a little troublesome.

Oda Sakunosuke looked out the window and had a plan in mind.

Now that he has almost known the characteristics of the target, Oda Sakunosuke plans to leave. Anyway, the rest of the contact details will be sent to his mobile phone, and it will be the same when he sees it again.

However, when he reached the first floor, he couldn't help but stop.

It was as if someone was whispering something in his ear...

"……Hey……"

"I am here……"

His eyes were drawn, and he slowly looked towards a seat by the window.

The boy was sitting there, with unwashed blood stains on the collar of his baggy shirt. Fortunately, the shirt was originally dark red, so the blood stains were not obvious.

The boy propped his chin and raised the small fork in his hand to greet him.

With his elbows resting on the table and only his wrists moving slightly, he looked a little lazy and lacked energy.

Dazed for a moment, Oda Sakunosuke turned around and walked towards him.

"Here," Osamu Dazai pointed to another piece of cake opposite, "I ordered it just for you."

Oda Sakunosuke didn't eat a few mouthfuls of the original wonton, and later the soup was splashed with blood, so it was even more impossible for him to move.

Hearing what Dazai Osamu said at this moment, Oda Sakunosuke felt as if... he was indeed a little hungry.

Therefore, even though he knew that the focus was not on this matter, he sat down and took a bite out of the cake first.

The rich creamy taste spread in the mouth, and Oda Sakunosuke paused.

...too sweet and greasy.

"Huh?" Osamu Dazai leaned forward, "Did you just... frown?"

The boy raised his eyes, a little dazed: "...what?"

"You don't like to eat?" Osamu Dazai asked curiously, "This is the first time I've seen an expression on your face."

Although not intense, it was enough to surprise Osamu Dazai.

Compared with him, although his emotions have been very calm during this period of time, the expressions on his face can be regarded as extremely rich.

Oda Sakunosuke thought for a while, and it seemed that some contacts had mentioned why he was always expressionless in the past, but he thought that there was no problem with his emotional expression, but he didn't know why others couldn't see it.

This kind of thought only stayed in Oda Sakunosuke's mind for a moment, and then he put it aside and started talking about business.

"Why did you come back so soon?"

Obviously, it has been half a year since the last time the boy was killed to the encounter this morning.

"Ah, this." Dazai Osamu poked the cake with a fork, "I woke up and came back. I woke up very quickly last time, but I didn't think about coming to you last time, so I came here like this I met you later."

Oda Sakunosuke thought for a moment.

So, the resurrection of this client only takes a few hours?

It's amazing.

"Then," asked Oda Sakunosuke, "after half a year, why did you suddenly decide to come to me?"

"Because it's boring."

The boy propped his head up and glanced sideways out of the window. The heavy rain hadn’t stopped yet. The raindrops were blown onto the glass window by the wind and then slid down drop by drop. In her kite-colored eyes, it seemed that the expression in those pupils also became uncertain.

"Don't you think," he said, "what's the point of walking if you can see the end of the road at a glance?"

Oda Sakunosuke couldn't understand.

He has never thought about the future like the other party, never thought about what he will be like in the future, and what his surroundings will be like in the future. It seems that he has embarked on the path of a killer—or in other words, since he was conscious, he paid attention to It is just now.

How to complete the current task and how to live now.

The farthest thing he ever thought about was probably before the mission started, he decided to eat spicy curry after the mission was completed.

Osamu Dazai saw that he had not spoken, so he turned his head and asked him, "Why do you want to live?"

Oda Sakunosuke: "Why do you need a reason to live? If you can live, don't you want to live."

"But, what's the point of living like this without purpose?" Osamu Dazai asked.

Oda Sakunosuke paused, "Why does it have to be meaningful to be alive?"

[I was born into this world, so I have the right to live, so I just want to live, can't I? ]

After these words came out, Osamu Dazai fell silent, not knowing whether he agreed with his point of view, or tired of refuting.

The atmosphere between the two was momentarily quiet.

After a while, Osamu Dazai nodded again, and said flatly: "Of course there is no need for meaning."

After a pause, he twitched the corner of his mouth again, "Life is really boring."

[Is it boring...]

Oda Sakunosuke vaguely agrees with this.

It's just that he had never thought about these things before, so he didn't pay attention to them.

However, after hearing Dazai Osamu's words, Oda Sakunosuke couldn't help raising a little doubt in his originally calm heart...

Is life interesting for the bodyguard killer who throws him in detention?

--

Because Dazai Osamu's resurrection time is too short, Oda Sakunosuke felt that killing him now is really troublesome, so when the other party asked him to do it again, Oda Sakunosuke did not do what he wanted.

Naturally, Osamu Dazai was not happy. After asking several times to no avail, Osamu Dazai leaned directly beside Oda Sakunosuke, threatening that he would not leave until Oda Sakunosuke resolved the entrustment.

Oda Sakunosuke: "..."

He pretended he hadn't heard.

However, although Oda Sakunosuke doesn't care about the other party entering and leaving his temporary residence, Dazai Osamu will not be with him most of the time, and only when Dazai Osamu has something to do or has something to say, he will be silent appeared before him.

Like now.

"Can you cut your hair?"

Just as Oda Sakunosuke put the shopping bags from the supermarket on the table, he heard such a sentence from behind him. He turned around and finally realized that there was another person in the room at this time.

To some extent, the other party's sense of existence is really weak.

Oda Sakunosuke glanced at the boy in front of the mirror, shook his head: "No."

The other party pinched the black hair on his forehead, turned his head to look at him, "The hair is covering the eyes, please cut it for me."

Oda Sakunosuke thought he didn't hear what he said, and repeated: "I just said I wouldn't."

"I heard." Osamu Dazai put down his hand, his expression was calm, "But I still want you to cut my hair."

Oda Sakunosuke had never heard such a request before, so he was silent for a while before saying, "Isn't it better to leave it to a professional?"

"I have no money." Osamu Dazai spread his hands.

Oda Sakunosuke was stunned: "The cake that day..."

They didn't seem to pay the bill when they walked out of the cake shop. He thought it was Osamu Dazai who bought it.

Now it seems... have they eaten the king's meal?

"Ah, that..." Osamu Dazai said, "The lady clerk invited us to eat that, so there is no need to spend money."

Oda Sakunosuke: "Why did you invite us? Do you know her?"

Osamu Dazai shook his head: "Just chatting casually, the miss may think I'm cuter."

Oda Sakunosuke tilted his head.

[Is this still possible? ]

Dazai Osamu did not continue to talk about this topic, he came over and handed the scissors to Oda Sakuyuki's assistant, "Thank you, just cut it shorter."

He gestured with his hand on his forehead: "Just don't cover your eyes."

The tone was firm as if Oda Sakunosuke had already agreed.

Then the other party moved a chair to the mirror and sat on it upright, looking ready.

Oda Sakunosuke looked down at the scissors in his hand, and was silent for a while, but he still didn't refuse.

……

It's just that when he cut it for the first time, Osamu Dazai uttered a single sound with unknown meaning, and then looked at himself in the mirror, and laughed out loud "puchi".

The original messy bangs were cut horizontally by Oda Sakunosuke, and they couldn't be more neat.

It is true that it no longer blocks the line of sight, but Osamu Dazai thinks...he should have never had such a regular haircut since he was born.

"I overestimated you..." Osamu Dazai was a little itchy from the fallen hair on his face, he wiped the hair while laughing, but couldn't stop laughing inexplicably.

"Hahaha...so stupid..."

Oda Sakunosuke took a step back, "Sorry."

But even though he said that, he felt that the person in front of him didn't seem to care much about his haircut ruining it.

Osamu Dazai waved his hand, the broken hair on his face hadn't been removed, he couldn't help but said, "How are you going to cut those children's hair..."

Oda Sakunosuke obviously didn't understand: "What?"

"It's nothing." Osamu Dazai shook his head, took the scissors back from his hand, "I'll do it myself."

Oda Sakunosuke nodded, left the mirror, went to the shopping bag to get a can of beer, then walked to the bay window and sat on it.

The evening red glow came in from the window and fell on him, making the short red hair more dazzling, but also bringing the unique softness of the setting sun.

He took a sip of beer, leaned his back against the wall, looked at the sky through this thin layer of glass, and was slightly lost in thought.

The woman's commission was destined not to be resolved in a short while - the client requested that the target must die in front of his wife's tomb.

In other words, the action time must be the end of December.

It has been two months since I accepted the entrustment, and there are still nearly three months before December...it is indeed a bit long.

However, the client is very generous, so even if the time is a bit harsh, Oda Sakunosuke can accept it.

However, if the location of the operation was in the cemetery, those bodyguards might clear the area ahead of time and guard the perimeter. In this case, it would not be so beneficial for him to deal with it in close quarters.

Long-range sniper shot...

……

When Oda Sakunosuke came down from the bay window, Osamu Dazai just stopped.

He turned his head expressionlessly, "How is it?"

The uneven bangs on the front of the forehead are like being bitten by a dog, but in any case, they are much more beautiful than the one-size-fits-all bangs of Oda Sakunosuke.

He said sincerely: "Well, very good."

Osamu Dazai's expression became a bit complicated: "Really...then how about I cut one for you too?"

Oda Sakunosuke stroked his hair and said bluntly, "I have money."

Dazai Osamu: "..."

--

Dazai Osamu became a frequent visitor to Oda Sakunosuke's house inexplicably, occasionally watching TV at his house, and occasionally coming over for a meal. Although he often mentioned his commission during the period, Oda Sakunosuke would not hear him as usual. Dazai felt conscious It's not interesting, so I don't bother to say it.

The two seem to know each other very well, but everyone knows that they are not friends.

Because until the time for action at the end of December, the two did not exchange names with each other.

The author has something to say: I've been waiting for a long time, I originally wanted to post it all at once, but as usual I didn't finish it (crumbs

Will try to finish this week.
