The whole of Yokohama thought we were together

"Ah, if men don't lie, Yokohama will be overthrown~"

[This must be a joke. ]

Oda Sakunosuke thought to himself.

However, having said that, even if what Osamu Dazai said before was all lies, it’s fine if he didn’t see it all the way, that Shiratori Taro seemed to believe it deeply.

Dazai... his ability in interrogation is really outstanding.

Ah, no, he has skillful hands and a very clever mind, and he can almost draw the direction of analysis by looking at the situation of the case at a glance.

[He's really a very powerful person, I can't compare to him no matter what. ]

Oda Sakunosuke said in his heart.

"Hehe." Osamu Dazai raised the corners of his lips and smiled, but there was no warmth in the smile, "Taro Shiratori, this kind of person's obsession with hatred and perfection is too deep-rooted, so physical injuries can't hurt him What effect—well, but cutting off his right hand or right leg to make him more imperfect should be considered a big blow, but I'm too tired, and I don't want to do it since it's the first day of work ..."

He spread his hands, "So just give him some mental stimulation."

Oda Sakunosuke: "Making him mistakenly think that he has been helping the murderer who killed his parents?"

"Yeah, when he thought that the murderer could finally be brought to justice, and met him, he found that he was cheated again. Not only did he not take revenge completely before he died, but he also foolishly betrayed his organization and colleagues. Let the most hated superhuman liar get his wish," Osamu Dazai giggled, "Isn't this kind of despair and anger so strong that he almost wants to die, isn't it wonderful~"

After he finished speaking, he didn't care about Oda Sakunosuke's reaction, and took two steps to the side on his own.

He looked at the camera above, raised his hand with a smile, put two fingers close to his forehead, and then swiped forward to say a very handsome hello.

But Ango Sakaguchi in front of the screen broke into a cold sweat after his action.

[...It's a devil, this man. ]

The phone by the table rang, and while he was staring at the two people on the screen, he reached out and took the phone. It wasn't until the two people left the corridor and disappeared from the screen that he looked at the phone for an incoming call——

It turned out to be the farming chief.

"Hey, Sakaguchi..."

As soon as he answered the phone, the other party's voice came over there. I don't know what background it was in, and the background sound was a bit noisy.

However, Ango Sakaguchi understood in an instant.

He lowered his glasses and asked calmly, "Mr. Taneda, are you in an izakaya?"

"Ahaha, I was discovered by you!" Chief Taneda let out a hearty laugh on the other side of the phone, but without giving Ango Sakaguchi a chance to say anything, he immediately changed the conversation to a normal topic.

"Actually, the president of the Armed Detective Agency called me just now and explained about 'Osamu Dazai'."

Ango Sakaguchi was taken aback when he heard the words: "Is he really that person!"

"I don't know." Chief Tantian said, "That's what the president said. The current situation is that no one knows whether he is the 'Dazai Osamu', maybe even he himself doesn't know, so the special agent department Here, we just need to keep an eye on him for the time being. If we can determine his true identity in the future, I am afraid that without our help, someone will be eager to hunt him down."

[… Indeed. ]

Ango Sakaguchi thought to himself.

If he is really the "Dazai Osamu", there is no need for the Supernatural Secret Service to do anything, and the port mafia will probably "clean up the door" by itself. Coupled with the assassination of hostile forces, his life will not be easy.

"I understand."

The phone hangs up.

Ango Sakaguchi took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes.

[Hope he's not that person... I really don't want to have any more interactions with such a person. ]

--

"Ah~" Osamu Dazai stood at the door of the library and stretched out his hand. Soon, his palm felt a little cold, "It's snowing."

The snow just melted a few days ago, and the second game followed.

Snowflakes were falling sparsely from the light gray sky. It seemed that they had just fallen, and the ground was not wet yet. The snowflakes melted when they hit the ground. The soil on the mountain was very dark, and if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see any traces.

"That's great." Osamu Dazai put his hand back into his coat pocket, looked at the ground, and sighed.

Oda Sakunosuke followed his gaze and didn't understand, "What's good?"

"Snow." Osamu Dazai looked at him, "There is only a moment from birth to disappearance. You don't have to worry about anything. You just need to feel the world with all your strength in this short moment, and see things that you have never seen before. You will definitely be very happy with the scenery you have passed. Even if...for a short time."

He withdrew his gaze and looked at Luoxue again, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, this time the smile was clean, but it made people feel lonely.

"It would be nice if humans were like this."

Come here without worries, go without worries, whether you open your eyes or close your eyes, there is no trouble, all you can feel is happiness.

like snow.

Dazai sighed silently.

[Ah, I really want to disappear. ]

"It's not just for a moment."

Osamu Dazai paused for a moment, then turned his head to look at the person beside him, who still had the usual plain expression, did not look at him, and focused his eyes on the snow scene outside, quietly, as if he wasn't the one who spoke just now.

"What did you say?"

Oda Sakunosuke's eyes moved, and he turned to look at him: "I said, the snow doesn't just fall for a moment. The front will be melted, but the later will cover the entire land bit by bit. Once out, the snow will still melt, but as long as it falls hard enough, it will stay for a long time."

"From this point of view," he said with his knuckles resting on his chin, "human beings should be the same as snow. Those who were born first died, but the foundation remained. As long as generations continue to reproduce, based on the The society formed by human beings will continue to exist for a long time."

Dazai looked at him blankly.

After a long while, he seemed to have just recovered from Oda Sakunosuke's words, and looked away, but the next moment, he turned around and grabbed the opponent's sleeve, subconsciously bullying, "If human beings and snow are the same, then..."

"What is the significance of the existence of snow?"

His plain and ordinary face was clearly reflected in the kite-colored pupils, and Oda Sakunosuke didn't look away, because he saw not only himself in those eyes, but also the eagerness deep inside those eyes, which he tried his best to contain. And a faint, faltering fire.

"……I have no idea."

[Why does it snow, you should ask the Meteorological Bureau, right? ]

Oda Sakunosuke hesitated.

He is just a person with little ability, and he doesn't know much about this matter, so talking casually will not satisfy the other party.

The fire...became weaker, as if he didn't do anything, the next second, that faint light would disappear completely.

Dazai Osamu's hand slowly slipped from his sleeve, and before he left completely, Oda Sakunosuke suddenly reached out his hand from his pocket and grabbed the other's wrist.

"...I don't know the exact meaning of falling snow." He looked directly at Osamu Dazai, his voice was still flat, but somehow he had the power to reach his heart at this moment, "but I think, someone must be happy because of falling snow. "

"So, the appearance of everything in this world may be because there is something else waiting—waiting to meet him."

Osamu Dazai curled his fingers subconsciously.

The opponent's palm was scorching hot, and the temperature transmitted to his wrist was so hot that it could almost burn his skin.

But he didn't want to withdraw his hand at all.

in case……

If anyone is waiting for the snowflakes to fall, is there anyone waiting for him and rejoicing in his presence?

Is he needed?

Does his life have meaning?

Can waiting, or finding the person who is waiting, be the reason for him to live?

All kinds of questions that have been thought about or that came up at this moment are all lingering in his mind, and they are in a mess, but Dazai Osamu has never felt that his thoughts are so clear for a moment.

It seems that everything that I have struggled with and wanted to pursue in the past is right in front of me.

"I..." Osamu Dazai looked at Sakunosuke Oda, and could hardly contain the excitement in his heart, "I want..."

"Let it go."

The sudden voice from the side made Osamu Dazai pause, and he turned his head subconsciously with Oda Sakunosuke, and saw an old lady holding a book, pushing down the reading glasses on the bridge of her nose, leisurely watch them.

"Young man, don't block the door."

"...Ah, I'm sorry." Oda Sakunosuke reacted, and moved his body in the direction of Osamu Dazai, making room for the other party.

The old lady glanced at the hands that the two were still holding, shook her head, and walked away, but she vaguely heard her murmuring as she passed by:

"Young people nowadays..."

Oda Sakunosuke was stunned, and when he turned his head, he subconsciously let go of his hand, and then remembered Dazai Osamu's unfinished words, "What did you just say?"

Osamu Dazai stared at the empty wrist in silence for a second.

The next moment, he put his hands back into his pockets as if nothing had happened, smiled, and seemed to be in a good mood: "It's nothing."

[……nothing?I remember him saying, 'want' what? ]

Oda Sakunosuke was a little puzzled.

Seeing that he was still thinking, Osamu Dazai pointed out the door: "It's time to go, didn't you say you still have to hand in the mission report?"

After the voice fell, he went out the door first without waiting for the other party to respond.

Oda Sakunosuke was shocked that the two of them seemed to have been delayed here for too long, and upon hearing the words, they stopped delaying and stepped forward to catch up with each other.

Snowflakes were blowing towards your face, as if the wind was blowing, Oda Sakunosuke narrowed his eyes slightly, and heard Dazai Osamu asked, as if remembering something, "Will you be happy to see snow?"

"Once, a little bit." The snowflakes got on the eyelashes, and Oda Sakunosuke wiped them off.

Osamu Dazai slowed down and asked while waiting for him, "Why only once?"

"Because eating snow can cool the heat exhaled by the human body." Oda Sakunosuke said, "I needed it that time."

Osamu Dazai was surprised and curious, and his tone raised a bit: "...What did you do before, a sniper who lurks for two or three days."

Oda Sakunosuke glanced at him.

Osamu Dazai was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"Every time a newcomer enters the club, there is a link to guess the past career of the seniors. Do you want to guess mine now?" Oda Sakunosuke asked very seriously, "They all said that the reward for my past career has reached 70 It's all over."

"Huh?" Osamu Dazai responded with a smile, "Okay!"

He thought for a while: "Mercenary?"

"No."

"Military police?"

"No."

"mafia?"

"No."

After guessing several wrong positions in a row, Osamu Dazai stopped and looked at him with a confident expression, "Oh~ I see."

Oda Sakunosuke also looked forward to it: "What is it?"

Osamu Dazai blinked his eyes, and moved closer, the wind and snow brushed his black hair, he bent his lips and smiled.

"secret."

After speaking, he turned around with a smile and walked away, as if he had won a battle, not to mention how cheerful his steps were.

Oda Sakunosuke: "..."

He looked at the man's back for a while, and then smiled faintly.

[It's really...childish. ]
