time flies.

Osamu Dazai came back from North America. About ten days later, Kotoko Iwanaga calculated the time. Natsume-kun's spring break is almost over, so she should go back.

They left Yokohama two days early because they wanted to take Dazai to the hot springs in the soup house of the supernatural world.

At sunset, Kotoko Iwanaga led Dazai Osamu into the sea.

The waves gently licked my legs, and I could feel the slap of the waves, but the shoes and trouser legs were not wet.

Osamu Dazai's sigh was like a lightly falling leaf, which was swept away by the waves.

"Suddenly I feel that it's not bad to die for love like this."

The lover is by my side, and the sea is covered with sunset glow.

After death, will it be turned into bait for fish, or will it drift to an unknown place like a drifting bottle?

Yan Yong Qinzi tightened her fingertips.It seems that if you don't hold on tightly, this person will really be swept away by the waves.

"I'm not going to let that happen."

"Qinzi pulls me, so I can't sink."

"You just understand."

Taking another step forward, the perception of the body has changed.

There is nothing in the air, even the surrounding scenery has not changed, but it seems to have come to another world.

Osamu Dazai saw the railway tracks on the sea and the small platform.

They are there horizontally, but they are not obtrusive. Like the sea torii of Itsukushima Shrine, they have a sacred sense of being integrated with nature.

The offshore control is in the hands of the gang/hand/party at the port, and he is sure that there is no such sea station in Yokohama.

Kotoko Iwanaga: "There are more novel things."

She could see the slight strangeness in the calm man's eyes, just like a self-respecting cat seeing a ball of yarn, instinctively wanted to stretch out its paws to touch it, but crouched inwardly and remained motionless.

She held up his hand, turned the palm up, and drew a mark with her fingertips, which quickly disappeared into the skin.

"Are you ready to welcome the new world,? Chief?"

Osamu Dazai held her back, leaned down, and kissed her on his fingertips.

"Of course, my lord princess."

The train came steadily from the sea.

……

When we arrived at the soup house town, the night had just fallen.

Rows of blood-red lanterns are lit up, and the streets are full of ghosts, and the night's carnival begins.

Even standing on the sea below, you can see the low sky illuminated by the lights of the town.

"It seems that the time is just right."

"Let's go Dazai—"

After walking a few steps forward, he found that the person in his hand could not be moved, Yan Yong Kotoko couldn't help turning his head, and asked strangely: "... Dazai?"

The young man looked at the direction of the train, the sea breeze blew through his forehead hair, and the faint gloomy color wrapped around his calm eyebrows and eyes, like clouds and mist lingering in the mountains.

"This train..."

"It's like compressing the entire journey of life into a single journey...it's amazing."

"Get on and off the car, stop and go. No matter who it is, in retrospect, is it just a faceless passerby?"

Most of the time on the train, Kotoko Iwanaga held Dazai Osamu's hand and fell asleep leaning on his shoulder.She knew that the person next to her was not asleep.

When she was unconscious, this person fell into the vortex of his own thoughts, and occasionally uttered a sentence or two full of philosophical thoughts, which was just the tip of the iceberg in his heart.

At this time, we can only wait quietly.

For a moment, Osamu Dazai calmed down his thoughts and smiled at her reassuringly.

"Let's go."

The room in the soup house was reserved by Iwanaga Kotoko for the monster in advance.

It is the most luxurious room type. On the upper floor of the soup house, there is a separate open-air hot spring in the room, and you can stay overnight.

In the soup house, as long as the money is in place, everything is easy to talk about.

Of course, taking a bath requires a two-person world!

Besides, in the lobby, she was also worried that Dazai would be eaten by some monster who smelled the fragrance.

Taking a bath together for the first time, the dream come true and the happiness swelled like hot spring water, which made her want to make friends with her boyfriend.

As a result, Dazai asked her to stay only on the other side of the hot spring pool and not to approach.

After several sneak attacks to no avail, Yan Yong Kotoko was so angry that he buried himself in the water and spit bubbles.

Is she so unattractive!

After taking a sullen bath, Kotoko Iwanaga asked the monster to bring a kimono that was more in line with the atmosphere of this world, and asked Osamu Dazai to change into it.

The leader's attire of black coat and red scarf seemed to imprison a part of his soul.Although I am a bit self-defeating, if I change clothes, it may be better.

The temperature in the monster world is constant, and it won't be cold if you dress like this.

Wearing the mouse gray pinstriped kimono on Osamu Dazai, he lost the coldness of the black/hand/party, and added a melancholy and elegant literati temperament.

Helping to adjust the belt, Iwanaga Kotoko took advantage of the trend to wrap his arms around the young man's thin waist from back to front, and buried his face in his back.

Osamu Dazai didn't ask or urge him, just let her hug him quietly.

"Dazai."

"Ok?"

"Am I just a faceless passer-by?"

Kotoko Iwanaga said: "I didn't participate in Dazai's life before the age of 16. But wouldn't it be the same in the future as this time, we will get on and off the car together and spend the journey together?"

"..."

"and also……"

She slowly said: "Here, you can be a little more indulgent and self-willed, and it doesn't matter. This is a world full of strange things."

"No matter what Dazai looks like, I like it."

"……Um."

Osamu Dazai broke free, turned around and hugged her back and forth, leaned over and rubbed her neck.

"I see, sorry."

"alright."

Yan Yongqinzi pulled him out, "Let's go, the night market is about to start."

The night market in Monster Town is similar to a festival in the human world. The shops are brightly lit, and the whole street is filled with the smell of food.

For some unspeakable purpose, Kotoko Iwanaga bought a chocolate banana.

"Mr. Dazai, look at me!"

She stuck out the tip of her tongue, licked along the food carefully, and then went to look at Osamu Dazai, only to find that the man was not looking at her at all, but leaned over and touched his chin, looking at the jumping poison on the mushroom stall mushroom.

"Looks like it's interesting..."

hateful.

Yan Yong Kotoko was so angry that he bit off the banana.

"Qinzi—"

Osamu Dazai just turned his head to see this scene: "..."

Yan Yong Qinzi chewed slowly, and squinted at him with puffed cheeks.

"what?"

"……nothing."

Osamu Dazai looked behind her.

"There are vacancies in the shop over there, do you want to sit down?"

In the store, they ordered some sake and side dishes from the demon world, sat down on both sides of the tatami, and chatted with each other.

It is mainly Kotoko Iwanaga who is introducing the world to Osamu Dazai.

"Dazai knows about 'eight million gods'. The main ones who come here are these gods, and there are also youkai."

"What if humans come in?"

"It will be fine during the day, but it will be bad at night. If you accidentally break the rules, there will be more serious consequences."

Yanyong Qinzi deliberately said: "For example, if you steal something from here, you will be turned into a pig."

Osamu Dazai picked up the chopsticks of the yokan and ate it, "You've become a pig..."

Then put it in your mouth without any psychological burden.

"Grandma Tang is the ruler here. This is the rule she made. She lives on the roof of the soup house where we live."

Yan Yongqinzi put his face in his hands and smiled.

"It's okay, Dazai-san, even if you turn into a pig, you are still the most handsome one."

"I will eat you tenderly...Let me think, is it braised or stewed?"

"Eh?"

"It's too much, Qinzi, shouldn't you think about how to save me at this time."

The young man who let go of his leader's airs acted coquettishly, which was simply unbearable.

I don't know if her previous words had an effect, or because she had a little interest in this treacherous world, Dazai Osamu's face was covered with a soft smile, as clear as a child, haloed by the most primitive lights, and his eyes Withered roses bloom tender feelings.

Yan Yong Qinzi turned her head and coughed lightly.

...Not good, if you don't pay attention, you will be confused by Mr. Dazai's beauty.

As a god, how can this be done!

After drinking, he continued to stroll around for a while, seeing her yawn, Osamu Dazai took her back to the soup house.

"Are you really going to stop shopping? Dazai, I can continue."

"I want to go back and read the few books I just bought."

Osamu Dazai put his arm around her, letting her lean on him halfway to reduce the burden on the prosthesis, "If you want to go shopping, there will be a chance in the future."

The books that Dazai bought just now include not only serious books introducing the various forms of the demon world, but also various novelty-seeking books, and even "Complete Suicide Manual (Monster Edition)".

Considering Mr. Dazai's own temperament, it is not surprising.

in the room.

When Kotoko Yan Yong came out after washing, he saw him lying on his back on the tatami mat, the pillows were raised, one hand was resting behind his head, and the other hand was holding a book and reading.

Appeared, Iwanaga Kotoko special trap!

As we all know, as long as you let Dazai cat lie flat on the bed, you can harvest a Iwanaga cat at the same time.

"Dazai—"

She flew over, hugged his neck and rubbed happily.

"..."

Osamu Dazai put down the book suddenly and spoke.

"Qinzi, how old am I now?"

?

Dazai doesn't even remember his own age?

"22."

Osamu Dazai smiled lightly, with a hint of deep meaning hidden in it.

"You also know that I'm 22."

Yan Yong Qinzi suddenly felt dizzy.Osamu Dazai hugged her and turned around, upside down.

The man leaned on her and looked down at her: "Don't jump on a grown man casually in the future, understand."

"Of course not casually."

"This kind of thing can only be done to Dazai."

Yan Yongqinzi hooked his neck, and pressed her lips against it.

... that's not what he meant.

Words were blocked.Feeling the soft touch on his lips, Osamu Dazai's eyes darkened, and he touched the back of her neck with his palm, deepening the kiss softly.

The candle flickered for a while and went out.

……

"Your quilt is next to you, go back to sleep."

"Sleep together, Dazai. There are so many people, they are all in the same room."

"go back."

"...Hmm."

"Don't fake cry."

……

Usually on such occasions, Osamu Dazai's words are ineffective, and in the end Kotoko Iwanaga stuck to him like an octopus.

Hearing the sound of steady breathing, confirming that she was asleep, Osamu Dazai opened his eyes.

He moved his body carefully, freed himself from Iwanaga Kotoko's arms, and immediately stuffed a pillow into it.

After tucking her in, Osamu Dazai walked out of the room and closed the door.

The soup house is hollow, and the atrium can be seen from the corridor. The square grids for bathing are steaming, and all kinds of strange monsters are carnival in it.

After some groping, Osamu Dazai figured out the structure of the building, found a wooden elevator, and went all the way to the top of the building.
