Facing monsters without fear, the God of Wisdom, who was smart and never knew what to back down, was stunned for several seconds at this moment.

The surrounding sounds dissipated like an ebb.

Leaving only the beat of the beating heart, the voice that is ready to come out from the bottom of my heart.

She looked at Dazai.

At the moment when the man's face bathed in the morning sun was reflected in the purple pupils, it was like a spark ignited the fuse, burning like a bamboo, and finally the fireworks lifted into the sky, bursting out with unprecedented light.

She rushed towards Osamu Dazai, like a believer rushing towards the dawn of the sky, and a bird flying towards the embrace of the white clouds.

"--willing!!!"

In the past twenty years of my life, there has never been a better morning than this moment.

The young man held her finger, and when the ring was about to be inserted into it, a small hand suddenly pressed against his.

Yan Yong Kotoko was a little flustered in a rare way.

"Wait, wait a minute..."

Dazai raised his eyes.

Knowing that she had something to say, his eyes were full of patience and tolerance, and because of her hesitation, he was a little cautious and fragile.

"Of course I would."

In order to appease those uneasy, Yan Yong Qinzi repeated again firmly,? Then said: "It's just—"

"Dazai and I have very different personalities, right?"

"To speak of overreaching, I can see the loneliness in Dazai's soul,? I can also approach it in my own way. But I don't know if this is what Dazai wanted, and if I really did it... ...No,? Dazai's true loneliness, no one can fully understand it, even me who has seen demons and ghosts."

She wrapped her two hands around Osamu Dazai's hand, trying to transmit her own warmth to it.

"The only thing I can do is to do my best to accompany Dazai, to show you more of the world. To share my world and my attitude with you, hoping to bring you a negligible appeal... Is it very arrogant ?”

"As I said just now, Dazai and I have different personalities. Dazai may be suitable for a woman who is more gentle and considerate, more nuanced, and able to understand you."

Yan Yong Qinzi suppressed the bitterness and took a deep breath.

"So I should be asking you... would you like it, Dazai-san?"

The solemn title is brought on again.

This space was so quiet that only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.

The sea of ​​clouds seems to be calm, but in fact it changes rapidly. I don't know if the next moment will be full of sunshine, or lightning and thunder——

Only the connected hands never let go.

"It's a rare time when you don't feel confident, Qinzi."

There was a complex and unspeakable smile in Osamu Dazai's tone.

"Isn't it you who said involuntarily that he wanted to break into my world?"

Like a sudden squall, it disrupted his four seasons, drenched him completely, and he was in a mess, with no place to dodge.

Since then, there has been no peace on the island.

"It's not called lack of self-confidence... Isn't he matured?"

Yan Yong Kotoko avoided his sight and muttered.

Dazai thought.

"But... if I find someone else, Qinzi will let the monster come and clean me up."

...it won't.

As long as Dazai can be happy.

What Yanyong Qinzi said was not the same as what he thought in his heart: "Ah, of course! So, there is only one chance. If you want to find someone else, now is the time..."

The ring slipped between the fingers.

Osamu Dazai directly interrupted her words with gestures, which was also his answer.

……Eh?

"I'm almost crying and still trying to be brave, Qinzi."

"Who is it that is trying to be brave..."

Kotoko Yan Yong looked at the diamond ring in her hand, only joy remained after the sourness, "It's too cunning."

"Well, if that's the case, you'll be mine from now on—you can't escape, Mr. Dazai."

She raised her head and looked at the tall man, her attitude seemed to be strong, but in reality she was stern.

"Shouldn't you kiss me at this time?"

Osamu Dazai was taken aback for a moment, then bent down, wrapped one arm around her waist, and supported the back of her head with the other, pressed his lips together, and breathed like flowing water.

The girl's long, light chestnut hair trembled in the morning wind, and the ends of her hair shone with golden light in the sun. Curly arcs outlined the side of her neck. The place that had never been touched by anyone was as white and beautiful as the long neck of a swan.

Just when she thought the kiss was over, the man shifted his position and kissed her neck.

Well……

The place that was kissed by the lover—perhaps it should be called the fiancé at this time, seems to have an electric current flowing through the whole body, which is incredibly sensitive.

Yan Yongqinzi tilted his head slightly, and couldn't help humming.

Her voice was already sweet and melodious, and she would deliberately remove emotions during trials, which sounded like clear fruit candy.Now it has turned into a slightly melted cream cake. The sweet and greasy taste reaches the heart from the taste buds. To the taster, it seems that a hand is holding his heart.

There is also an almost inaudible tremor, like silk and bamboo being gently picked up and twisted slowly, leaving a trembling aftertaste after the music.

Iwanaga Kotoko felt Dazai Osamu's breath stagnate.

...Did she just make some terrible noise?

As soon as Osamu Dazai let go, she slid down like noodles, almost sitting on the ground, Osamu Dazai quickly reached out to catch her, worried: "What's wrong?"

Sudden discomfort?

Yanyong Qinzi has mosquito-repellent eyes, and her voice is soft.

"It's okay, it's just that my legs are weak..."

"Ha ha ha ha--"

The people around gave out good-natured laughter, and the applause was mixed with blessings.

Only then did I realize—there are not only the two of them left in the world.

There were others, who seemed to have been watching for a long time, forming a circle to surround them.

... Maybe this is the heart of gossip that human beings have?

Even Purgatory Xingshourou who was lying on the stretcher asked [Yin] to stop, and just lay there and watched.

"Hmm! Sure enough, after the disaster, good things will happen. I wish you all too... Mmm!"

He spat blood again.

Tanjiro Kamodo next to him was about to panic: "Please stop talking, Mr. Purgatory!"

Although it was not life-threatening, Purgatory Xing Shoulang was also seriously injured.

He hastened to [hidden]: "Please hurry up and send Mr. Purgatory back to Butterfly House for treatment."

My wife Shanyi clapped weakly, sourly.

"When will I be able to marry sister Nezuko..."

Zuihei Inosuke, who still doesn't understand the world, was crowded here by the crowd, with writing all over his face: where am I, who are they, what's the situation, why is everyone looking at them? ? ?

……

The Infinity Train event came to an end.

Kotoko Iwanaga and Osamu Dazai are about to return to their original world.

Seeing that Zamon Tanjiro was the most reliable of them, Kotoko Iwanaga went straight to him.

Unexpectedly, the boy said first instead: "I was just looking for the two—"

"First of all, I wish you two..."

After saying a few polite words, the kind and honest boy said seriously: "Can you tell me your names?"

Kotoko Iwanaga and Osamu Dazai looked at each other.

"It's not necessary," Dazai Osamu said in his usual gentle and hidden voice, "it's just a passerby."

Disappointment appeared on the boy's face, but it quickly turned into understanding.

At that moment, Iwanaga Kotoko felt—this young man might have grasped a clue that she and Dazai are not from this world.

"Mr. Purgatory's battle must have been helped by the two of you."

Kamado Tanjirou bowed deeply.

"--thank you very much!!"

They all knew that the Ghost Killing Squad would lose Mr. Purgatory just a little bit.

Mr. Purgatory, who is as bright as a flame and illuminates the way for them.

"No need to do this, be careful not to tear the wound on your stomach."

Yan Yong Qinzi asked: "How did you judge?"

Kamado Tanjiro touched his nose and spoke honestly.

"My sense of smell is pretty good."

"I can smell the aura that doesn't belong to this world on the two of you. Especially this lady, I can smell some weird aura, but it's not scary. If I really want to describe it, it's like reading a ghost story by candlelight late at night. , has an ancient and sacred feeling... Sorry, it seems to have said too much."

"Just now, during the battle of Mr. Purgatory, I also smelled this kind of breath, and then the ghost's spirit became abnormal..."

There is no need to talk about the ending.

Yan Yongqinzi was surprised.

It's not just "nice" anymore, is it?

Osamu Dazai also touched his chin and muttered in a low voice: "It's a bit powerful, if possible, I really want to recruit the black/hand/party..."

By the way, isn't this a walking lie detector?Yan Yong Qinzi suddenly became interested.

A lie detector is useless against Dazai, but Tanjiro Kamado can!

After all, breath is out of my control.

Seeing her high spirits, Osamu Dazai, who had a bad feeling, was about to retreat when Kotoko Iwanaga took his arm affectionately.

Do not let go.

Dazai sighed helplessly.

Iwanaga Kotoko asked Zamon Tanjirou enthusiastically, "Can you tell which one, Dazai or I, has a deeper relationship?"

The boy really closed his eyes, his nose flaring.

He opened his eyes: "I can't smell it... The relationship between the two of you is very deep, and it has surpassed my sense of smell."

...Young man, I suspect that you are cheating on me.

After all, this kind of statement neither hurts feelings nor offends people.

Yan Yong Qinzi didn't struggle any more, and continued to ask the next question.

"Dazai, Mr. Mori and I fell into the water at the same time, who will you save?"

Dazai Osamu: "..."

Here comes this question that has been on my mind for five years!

"you."

He replied.

Kotoko Iwanaga turned to Kamado Tanjiro: "Is what he said true or false?"

Boy: "Really."

Iwanaga Kotoko asked again: "Mr. Odasaku and I fell into the water at the same time, who will you save?

Dazai Osamu: "..."

"I smell embarrassment," Tanjiro Kamado said, "This gentleman may choose to jump down together."

He figured it out, the two of them were not so much trying to detect a lie, but rather playing for fun?

True feelings cannot be shaken by one or two answers.

"Then ask the last one."

Yan Yongqinzi's eyes shone brightly, "Saomen-kun can recognize the physical condition from the smell, then you can smell it, how many times can we do it on the first night?"

? !

The young man blushed.

Help, help! ! !

Kamado Tanjiro looked at Dazai Osamu for help.The man turned his head and looked into the distance, ignoring Iwanaga Kotoko's coquettish words as usual.

The boy could only stammer and speak.

"This... I'm afraid... depends on your performance..."

Help, this is no longer in the category of lie detection!

Yan Yong Qinzi pondered.

See how she behaves...

The beret on top of her head was suddenly pulled off, blocking her view and interrupting her thoughts.

"Wow."

"What are you doing Dazai!"

"Then let me ask one too."

Osamu Dazai smiled softly: "When I was away, did this guy have more contact with some men, such as Kuro-senpai? Natsume-kun?"

No, not good!

Yan Yongqinzi tried to slip away, but the hand was held firmly by the young man, and the other party's smile became more and more kind.

"What are you hiding, Qinzi?"

"...I didn't hide!"

Kotoko Yan Yong came back, waving his arms in a pretentious manner, and shouted: "No more fun, no more fun! Let's start talking about business, Dazai, it's not good to delay Zaomen-kun's time, maybe he still has something to do!"

"..."

Kamado Tanjirou smiled awkwardly but politely.

Yan Yong Kotoko closed her eyes and coughed twice.

When she opened her eyes again, her demeanor was completely different from before, becoming rational and calm.

The frivolous breath is all restrained.

She took out a stack of charms.

"This is a special spell that can be used to summon people from the other side."

Kamado Tanjirou's pupils shrank suddenly!

He needs this thing so badly!

His father died early, and he lived with his mother, three younger brothers and two younger sisters. Although his family was poor, he had his own happiness.

But this happiness was soon broken by ghosts.

Overnight, his mother, younger siblings were all killed by ghosts, and the only surviving sister, Nezuko, was also turned into a ghost.

He escaped a catastrophe by not going home that night because he went down the mountain to sell charcoal, but he lost his family forever and had no chance to say goodbye.

Not only he-

Most of the companions in the Ghost Killing Squad were relatives killed by ghosts, relying on the hatred of ghosts, longing for relatives, and the belief of "don't want others to suffer the same pain" to support until now.

"Because the talisman's spiritual power is limited, and they no longer belong to this world, staying here for too long will cause chaos, so it's only 10 minutes."

"The quantity is not large, so give it to those in need," Yan Yongqinzi said, "let's take this opportunity to say goodbye."

Kamado Tanjiro squeezed the charm in his hand tightly, as if grasping the most precious treasure in the world.

There was a hint of crying in his voice: "Thank you!!"

In this way, members of the Demon Slayer Squad can also meet their loved ones!

Iwanaga Kotoko smiled.

"Your ghost killing team is great."

After the disaster, some good fragments are more precious.

Having finished speaking, Iwanaga Kotoko took Dazai Osamu's arm and left.They were just passengers on this train, so they couldn't interfere too much.

After walking a few steps, she turned around.

"Mr. Purgatory has also taught me a lot."

"So, it's also my thank you."

Kamado Tanjiro:?

Before he could say anything, the two had drifted away.

Holding the talisman, the boy bowed his head gratefully towards their backs.

……

Iwanaga Kotoko and Dazai Osamu came to the station.

"What did Qinzi learn from Mr. Owl?"

Hearing this, Iwanaga Kotoko thought that Dazai wanted to talk to her about philosophical topics such as human nature, and was about to speak, and then listened to the young man.

"It turns out that a man who just met for one night can have such a big influence in Qinzi's heart."

"It seems that I have lost my position in Qinzi's heart... the man who has the most influence on Qinzi is no longer me..."

Osamu Dazai seemed to be complaining to himself, and there were traces of resentment in his voice, and he didn't know if it was true or not... No, he was just pretending!

"... Dazai!!"

Yan Yong Kotoko rushed over, frantically slaughtering cats and cats.

What kind of spoiled fiance did she pick up?

Why didn't I see it before.

After a while, the monster train came from afar.

Yan Yong Qinzi: "The car is here."

Dazai took her hand.

"Let's go."

The next thing will be a matter of course.

Without the restriction of the ticket, they can freely travel between the two worlds, and other people who know the other world can also travel, the list is: Chuya Nakahara, Yin Akutagawa, Sakunosuke Oda, Ranpo Edogawa, Shelley, Verlaine, Paul.

And Ango Sakaguchi.

Speaking of which, this is still the credit of Iwanaga Kotoko.

Because she said to Osamu Dazai: "If you don't reconcile with Mr. Sakaguchi, I will not agree to you."

"...Qinzi actually wants to reject me because of another man, so sad."

This time Dazai Osamu's coquettish offensive was of no use to Iwanaga Kotoko.

She supported the young man's shoulders, stared into his eyes and said earnestly.

"Didn't Dazai also hope for reconciliation in his heart?"

"In the three-person group, it will not work without any one person."

Her lover is sensitive and delicate, and it is extremely difficult to open his heart. Oda Saku and Sakaguchi Ango are his rare true friends.

Therefore, when he was betrayed by Ango Sakaguchi on the issue of identity, it was difficult for him to forgive.

But those things are in the past.

Mr. Sakaguchi also has factors beyond his control, and both Mr. Dazai and Mr. Odasaku are aware of this.

When they were drinking at the LUPIN bar as usual and saw the vacant seat, it was hard to say that they were not disturbed.

It's just that Odasaku-san tends to listen to Dazai.

But for Dazai to take this step, someone needs a gentle push from behind.

The great thing about Yan Yong Qinzi is that in order to cover up the truth, she must construct convincing hypotheses, whether it is logic or emotion.

She said all kinds of gentle words to enlighten her lover, but in the end she backtracked a bit: "If Dazai still finds it unacceptable...don't worry."

After a long time, Osamu Dazai nodded slightly.

"……I see."

Yan Yong Qinzi didn't plan to get involved too much, and never mentioned it again.

On a drinking occasion, when she went to pick up Osamu Dazai, she saw Ango Sakaguchi, and the three of them drank and chatted as before, and she knew that things were getting better.

……

And today is also an important day.

After the ticket restrictions were lifted three months ago, Osamu Dazai used the financial resources of Hong Kong/Black to open a port trading company in Kotoko Iwanaga's world, creating a new identity for himself.

There are Mori Ogai and Verlaine in the orphanage, and there are enough people.So Paul came here to assist him, but also to exercise his ability.

Dazai ran back and forth between the two worlds.Sometimes Kotoko Iwanaga will go to Hong Kong/Black to see him.

It is not difficult to open an ordinary club for the leader of the gang/hand/party who has developed Hong Kong/black into a country-scale organization in four years.

In three months, his club has become popular in the industry.

Osamu Dazai has also become a young and promising successful person in the eyes of people in the world.

I also have the confidence to come to propose marriage.

……

Outside the monster town.

The doorway of the brick-red tower with mottled paint.

Kotoko Iwanaga was waiting here for Dazai Osamu who came from there, and she kept looking in with her feet on her feet, eager to see through.

Footsteps sounded from the tunnel, and not long after, two figures walked out of the shadows.

What is exposed to the sun is first the shoes, pants, then the top, the neckline, the face...

——Just like the night when they first met, when the two walked out from the shadow of the cruise ship.

But there are many places that are different.

Such as feelings, such as identity, such as age.

For example, this time Osamu Dazai was in front, and Chuya Nakahara was accompanying him as a guard.

For example, Osamu Dazai's outfit at this time——

He was wearing a snow-white suit, a white coat draped over his shoulders, and half of his ears were pulled behind his ears. He was extraordinarily handsome, with a different kind of gentleness than usual.

Whether it's the ginger bow tie or the brooch pendant, every detail reflects the extraordinary workmanship, and I'm afraid the nobles will be envious after seeing it.

There is also a delicate red rose in the towel bag.

He looked at the bouncing lover who opened his arms to hug him, and he could hardly hide the pampering in his tone.

"Sorry, did you wait so long?"

Today is the day when Osamu Dazai came to meet Kotoko Iwanaga's parents, and the two parties have already made an appointment.

He specially changed into new clothes, which was enough to show his attention.

"It hasn't been long, and I just arrived—"

Iwanaga Kotoko flew over and hugged him.

"Dazai looks good in this body! So handsome!"

Woohoo, it's such a great feeling to have a lover with a fairy face!

The two frowned for a while, then walked outside.

They have already walked through this forest path scattered with stone statues of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva several times.

Outside the path is a concrete floor, the car is parked on the side of the road, and it was driven by Yan Yongqinzi himself.Her legs are better now and she can drive easily.

The three got into the car, and Chuya Nakahara was the driver.

The car drove to Iwanaga House in Tokyo.

In the yard, after getting out of the car to open the door for the leader and the future leader's wife, Zhong Yuanzhong also went to park the car.

Kotoko Iwanaga smiled and took Dazai Osamu's arm.

"Let's go Dazai."

"They're all waiting in the house."

Yan Yong Qinzi took two steps, but found that he couldn't walk - the person holding his arm didn't move at all!

"... Dazai?"

Osamu Dazai stood at the door, unable to move his feet as if the soles of his shoes had taken root.

His face was a little uncomfortable, a rare expression of forced calm that could be seen at a glance.He looked at the door, as if there was a ferocious dragon entrenched inside, waiting for him with its bloody mouth wide open.

Osamu Dazai took a deep breath, held her hand, and whispered.

"...Qinzi, may I come back another day?"

...It turns out that the leader of the mafia/hand/party will also feel nervous and afraid when meeting his lover's parents?
