Are you someone out there?

In Osamu Dazai's view,? This is an ambiguous question.

It could be a joke between lovers, or it could be a real discovery.

Qinzi is very smart, and has an intelligence network woven by monsters, so it is not surprising even if she is aware of it.

……

a long time.

Osamu Dazai let out all the strength in his body, and let out a long sigh helplessly.

"...what are you talking about?"

Seeing his reaction, Kotoko Iyanaga probably knew something.

"Because Dazai-san has a strange attitude, isn't he usually very cold, but now he suddenly becomes better."

"...Is it okay to be nice to you?"

Osamu Dazai nodded thoughtfully, "Then it's better to return to the original state."

Yan Yongqinzi jumped up against the case.

"Mr. Dazai, shouldn't you reflect on whether your previous attitude was too bad?!"

In other words, is it possible to make progress now?

She walked up to Osamu Dazai, her face full of expectation.

"I also want to see cat ears and cat tails."

Dazai ignored her.

"..."

"..."

Stalemate for a moment.

Well,? Sure enough, she was delusional.

Kotoko Iwanaga turned around, and suddenly heard Osamu Dazai cough lightly.

Turn around.

A pair of fluffy ears of the same color protruded from the brown and black hair, and a fluffy tail protruded from the corner of the clothes, shaking gently in the air, as if to be seductive.

ear!

Tail!

Immediately, Kotoko Yan Yong's eyes lit up, and rushed over!

For a while, use both hands to pinch the cat's ears together to form airplane ears,? For a while, stroke the cat's tail,? From the root of the tail to the tip of the tail.

Wasn't she unwilling to spend all her time before? This time it's so easy to talk?

It's Dazai-san's ears and tail!

Great rua!

Cat hair is thin and soft, especially when the rua reaches the base of the ear, it will tremble lightly reflexively.

Osamu Dazai's face turned red, his body tensed slightly, he endured it for a while, seeing that she had no intention of stopping, he finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Don't touch it."

Ears and tail disappear.

Iwanaga Kotoko regretted to stop.

"Qinzi."

Osamu Dazai sat on the chair, turned a blind eye to her gaze of "wanting to rua again", shook the glass on the table, and spoke.

"Know Cinderella?"

"The one who eats the apple?"

Osamu Dazai widened his eyes slightly.

"Eat apples..." He smiled helplessly, "Even if it was me, I didn't expect to get such a reply. Qinzi is really interesting."

Yan Yongqinzi pouted: "I have long stopped reading those childish fairy tales."

"Then let me explain."

Dazai said patiently.

"Cinderella must leave before midnight, leaving only the glass slipper."

"It was Snow White who ate the poisoned apple. She left the castle to live with the dwarves."

"Ah."

Yan Yong Kotoko put down the red wine glass, looking unhappy.

"Mr. Dazai, do you want to say that you are Snow White and I am a dwarf?"

This is a cryptic height mockery!

Osamu Dazai chuckled.

"I didn't say that."

"And then, there will be a follow-up," Yan Yongqinzi said, "Did Snow White choke to death eating an apple?"

"..."

Osamu Dazai raised his forehead, "You really can't remember the content clearly."

"Snow White bit off a poisoned apple and died of poisoning."

"Why are you biting a poisonous apple? Are you being deceived?" Yan Yongqinzi said, "Everyone knows that you can't just eat something given by a stranger."

Osamu Dazai: "...fairy tales cannot withstand your careful scrutiny."

"Do not……"

He suddenly fell into deep thought, "Princess Snow White may not have been deceived, she committed suicide. She knew it was a poisonous apple, but she still bit it."

"why?"

"Because of despair."

Osamu Dazai leaned back in his chair, raised his head, as if looking at some kind of complex evil system in the depths of the world, and said in an aria-like tone.

"The despair of being poisoned by the mother. Perhaps it is more massive and abstract... the despair of the world itself."*

"There is another possibility—" He sat upright suddenly, looking directly at Yan Yong Qinzi.

"She, like Cinderella, has to go at some point."

Those eyes were brighter than when they first met, and there were some emotions that she couldn't see through.

Osamu Dazai: "The prince is here to pick her up."

...How do you feel that these two stories are about to be portrayed as dark/fairy tales by them.

Yan Yong Qinzi pondered for a moment, picked up the red wine and took a sip.

"If that's the case, why did she commit suicide? Just wait for the prince."

"Because of the charm of death."

Dazai sighed.

"Isn't she sealed in a crystal coffin by ice? The clear and icy death method of ice and snow can make her face more beautiful and delicate than when she was alive. She needs to use this face to attract the prince."*

"It could also be..."

Osamu Dazai pursed his lips, and a hint of sadness and sarcasm flashed across.

"—if you don't, the dwarf won't let her go."

Osamu Dazai: "Isn't Snow White capable of communicating with animals? She learned from the animals that the prince was coming, so she resorted to her plan and bit the poisonous apple, so that she could leave smoothly."

Yan Yong Qinzi didn't know what to say for a moment.

"...It's really a fairy tale in the style of Mr. Dazai."

"Anyway," Osamu Dazai stood up, as if he was about to leave, "Snow White got her wish and lived with the prince. Isn't this a happy ending?"

It's hard to find out when we get along day and night, but Mr. Dazai has indeed grown taller.

When I first saw it, it was still a little tender and a bit baby fat, but now the outline is much more mature.

Especially after becoming a cadre, his temperament calmed down and he became less cynical.

Iwanaga Kotoko followed.

"Mr. Dazai."

Osamu Dazai stood at the entrance and patted her head.

"There's something wrong with the orphanage. I'll go there first and wait for you over there."

Iwanaga Kotoko nodded.

The moment he stepped out the door, Osamu Dazai quit the game.

No kisses, no hugs.

Although it was a farewell, it seemed to be no different from their countless previous farewells, because they would see each other soon.

It's just that there is a trace of indescribable dissatisfaction.

Alone in the room, Iwanaga Kotoko began to recall the conversation just now.

Yes.

"Are you someone outside?" is an ambiguous question, and she will adjust her attitude according to Mr. Dazai's reaction. At the same time, it is also a chance for Mr. Dazai who doesn't want to reveal his heart to choose.

If Mr. Dazai is really okay, or if he doesn't want to say it at this time, he can regard this problem as a joke between lovers.She will play along with him.

If Mr. Dazai tells the truth, then she can think of a solution.

— Mr. Dazai chose the former.

I specially ran to England to find her.

Suddenly changed her mind and let her enter the game cabin.

He took the initiative to hug her before entering the game room.

Now come and cook for her.

Touch her cat's ears and tail, which she has never been allowed to touch.

——There is no clear word for parting, but every movement and every look in the eyes tells the meaning of parting.

Just kidding, Iwanaga Kotoko didn't suspect Dazai Osamu's empathy at all.

How is that possible!

It took her such a long time, she understood it with reason and moved her with emotion, and persisted in pestering her endlessly, before she finally embraced the beauty.

There is only one possibility, that she really admitted the wrong person.

Didn't Mr. Dazai meet a strange man in the orphanage? That man was the one she confessed to in the past.

In this way, all of Mr. Dazai's reactions can make sense.

"..."

Yan Yong Qinzi let out a long breath.

In short, let’s go to the singularity space to receive rewards now. Restoring more memories will also help to find a way further.

Then go out to find Mr. Dazai.

[Do you want to return to the singularity space? 】

【→Yes】

In the familiar bright galaxy, the system's inorganic voice sounded.

[Congratulations on completing the difficult task. 】

[Please receive the task reward: restore all memories. 】

? !

Yan Yong Qinzi was shocked.

"Wait! All?!"

She originally thought that she would have to do a few more missions, but it was the best expectation to recover half of it this time.

Turns out, all of them.

【To be exact, 99%】

[The rest, due to world restrictions, cannot be directly returned to you. 】

[But that doesn't matter, you'll soon remember it yourself. 】

"Is there no reward for summoning monsters this time?"

【No. 】

Yan Yong Qinzi pondered.

"I understand."

Memories flooded into my mind like a tide.

At the moment when the memory was restored, there was no particularly intense emotion, but a strange calm.

Iwanaga Kotoko quit the game.

Meteors pass by quietly, black holes spin and emit black particles, and countless different world lines weave white orbits.

The singularity space, the miniature landscape of the universe, dimmed piece by piece after she left, as if the lights were turned off.

Ultimately in the darkness of nothingness.

Power crystals fail.

game over.

At the last moment, a low, tired, and incredibly gentle male voice sounded like a violin.

[Goodbye, Qinzi. 】

【I love you. 】

Then.

Who is Snow White, who is the dwarf, and who is the prince.

……

After exiting the game room, Kotoko Iwanaga immediately called Osamu Dazai, but no one answered.

Emailed no response either.

A bit big.

But Mr. Dazai's reaction was expected.

Iwanaga Kotoko immediately asked the family to arrange a car to drive to the orphanage in Yokohama.

Now there are no monsters around her, and she can only rely on people she knows.Iwanaga Kotoko was sitting in the car with her laptop on her lap and kept in the mailbox interface, and she kept in touch with them.

[Oda Sakunosuke: Dazai has not contacted me, I have searched his residence and LUPIN bar, but he is not there.I have already contacted Ango, and we will split up to find Dazai immediately. 】

[Verlaine: There is no Dazai-kun in the orphanage. 】

【Paul: I see. I'll look around the orphanage right away. Ms. Yan Yong, please don't worry. 】

Kotoko Iwanaga hit enter, and another email to Osamu Dazai was sent.

She has been sending him emails, and she has sent him an unknown number of emails before.There is no reply, and all of them are displayed as unread in the outbox.

Mr. Dazai didn't answer the call, but he didn't hang up her call either. He just waited until the phone hung up automatically.

Like a silent conversation.

At least it means he is safe.

Iwanaga Kotoko sighed and made another call.

In the earphones, the voice of Chuya Zhongyuan came.

"Yanaga?"

"Mr. Nakaya, do you know where Mr. Dazai is now?"

"I don't know, I came out of the game cabin and left after exchanging with him," Nakahara Zhongya asked, "What's the matter, did something happen?"
