In some distant time and space—
The camera keeps zooming in, passing through the clouds, mountains, and finally the earth.
The girl called "Princess" by the monster is sitting on the shoulder of the bone spirit, walking in a certain direction.
She is wearing a beret, with long fluffy and curly light chestnut hair hanging behind her, with long hair reaching to her waist, holding a scepter in her hand, with an elegant demeanor, and the hem of a foreign dress swaying in the wind.
A silver-white ring pendant hangs on the chest, shining brightly in the sun.
Two guardian komaru dogs float beside her.
"Today's commission was also sent by the monster from Yayuan."
Iwanaga Kotoko nodded.
"I don't know if I can see Natsume-kun."
Five years ago, after she returned from the supernatural world, she immediately started to deal with the backlog of monster commissions.
In the world view of Kotoko Iwanaga, human consciousness has the ability to materialize, as is the case with urban legends such as "Human Face Dog", "Gap Girl", and "Headless Horseman".
In the process of word of mouth, people believe more and more that it is true,? Imagination endows them with image, flesh and blood, and forms an entity.
This is the "monster born of the imagination".
Therefore, even if some things are done by monsters, Iwanaga Kotoko still needs to construct hypotheses and forge "truths" that have nothing to do with monsters, to make people believe that there are no monsters and ghosts in the world, so as to maintain the stability of the human world and the demon world.
However, due to her staying in the supernatural world for too long, some monster incidents have fermented into social incidents.
Yan Yong Qinzi was not in a hurry.She can figure out a solution to whatever happens, it just takes time and work.
In addition, the duel between her and Sakuragawa Rokka was also put on the bright side.
Sakuragawa Rokka already knew about the world line, maybe there will be similar troubles in the future, so I can't let it go any longer!
……
Five years have passed since the dust settled.
Natsume Takashi was the boy she met when she came to Yahara to deal with the commission during that time. He was still in high school at the time, and he was accompanied by a fat cat.
(Teacher Cat: It’s not a fat cat!)
He took a book of friends and returned the name for the monster.
It is really rare for people with demon power like Natsume.Yan Yongqinzi was worried that he would cause trouble at first, and approached with a little inquiring purpose, but later found that the other party didn't mean that at all, and regarded the monster as a friend, so she let go of her guard.
Once they came and went, they became acquainted and became friends.
After graduating from high school, Takashi Natsume went to the city to attend college.
"It's spring break now, Natsume-kun should be back in town too."
Yanyong Qinzi said.
She's a little older than Natsume and skipped a grade, so she's graduated from Yokohama National University now.
Yan Yong Qinzi did not go to work in the family company, but opened a law firm and recruited several lawyers and clerks.She majored in law, which is considered a professional counterpart.
Kotoko Iwanaga mainly deals with monster commissions, and the firm's cases are taken over by colleagues.Unless they can't handle it, she will make a move.
She can always accurately hit the loopholes of the opposing lawyers, and no one can win her in court.
Because the appearance is too cute and tender, it was questioned by the parties at first.
Later, when I became famous, this kind of situation never happened again.
The same is true for the height, and it will stop growing when it reaches 1.5 meters. It's a bit sad to think about it... I don't know if Mr. Chuya has grown taller.
As for other places...
Iwanaga Kotoko lowered his head and measured it with both hands.
B... There should be some, right?
In the past five years, Iwanaga Kotoko has never been in love again.Although there are many people who pursue her, but for some reason, she seems to have suddenly lost interest in these things.
Probably this is the so-called mind like still water :)
He also maintains a friendship with Kuro Sakuragawa.
In the process of helping to deal with the incident, Sakuragawa Kuro was gradually accepted by the monsters, knowing that he was not as scary as he looked, and sometimes the monsters would go directly to him, which also relieved her burden to some extent.
Yan Yong Qinzi murmured.
"It's been five years..."
time flies.
Mr. Dazai is 22 years old.
Mr. Dazai, 22 years old, she has not met yet.Are you still the leader? Did you eat and sleep well... Maybe you are already married, huh huh QAQ
There is absolutely no shortage of women in that position!
...Forget it, don't want to.
Iwanaga Kotoko jumped off the monster's shoulder.
Yahara.
A powerful monster has gone berserk under the influence of evil spirits leaking from a dilapidated haunted house.The little monsters living nearby are miserable, and hope that the God of Wisdom will find a way to deal with it.
The monster in the berserk state couldn't communicate, and Kotoko Iwanaga tried to find a chance to subdue it while avoiding the attack.
Just then, Takashi Natsume and his cat teacher appeared.With their help, she successfully subdued the monster and purified the haunted house.
After the incident, they sat on the stone bench in the yard and chatted.
Teacher Cat was hugged by Kotoko Iwanaga on her lap. Although she was a little heavy, her chubby hands felt good.
So she had a "cat" before too.
"I heard from the middle-level ones that there is a crazy monster nearby, so I came here to take a look, and I ran into you unexpectedly."
Natsume Takashi asked: "Has the matter of Sakuragawa Rokka been resolved?"
Natsume is the only person who knows what she went through besides the client.
It was Iwanaga Kotoko who told him in the way of a heart-to-heart conversation with a friend.
Maybe it was because of the gentle temperament on the boy that reminded her of someone.
Natsume is a good listener.
He patiently listened to her incredible experience, not only did not have any doubts, but also thoughtfully said "Thanks for your hard work".
But there is still a big difference between Natsume-kun and Dazai-san——
Natsume-kun is like the wind in April and the sun in winter, clean and gentle from beginning to end.
Mr. Dazai's situation is more complicated. He hides too deeply, and his soft side is hard to be noticed.
"Yes, it was just finished three days ago."
Yan Yong Qinzi replied.
"Although it took a lot of effort, fortunately, Sister Liuhua has finally turned back to an ordinary person, and she can no longer cause any disturbances."
"Then I came here."
Natsume Takashi nodded, thought for a while, and asked in a soft voice: "But you still seem to have something on your mind?"
"If you don't mind, you can talk to me."
Under the influence of the Fujiwara couple and their friends, the timid boy became stronger and more outgoing, and he grew into an adult who can actively use his gentleness to influence others.
Iwanaga Kotoko sighed.
"I finally breathed a sigh of relief, but I always think of my experience in another world. From this point of view, it might be better to be busy."
"Now that the threat has been lifted, do you want to go over there and have a look?"
Natsume suggested, "If you don't mind, I can do the youkai's entrustment for this period of time."
Yan Yongqin was silent.
"For what reason?"
She said while smoothing the fur on Teacher Cat's back.
"After so many years, the people over there should gradually forget about me and start a new life. It's best not to bother me at this time."
"They all thought I was dead. If I showed up rashly, it might cause chaos. No matter how you think about it, it's the best choice not to go."
"—In the final analysis, people from two worlds."
She spoke calmly and thought clearly.
If you ignore the subtle waves deep in the purple pupil.
Natsume thought for a moment, then suddenly said something that seemed irrelevant.
"Miss Iwanaga once said that Mr. Dazai finally agreed to let you use the game cabin and let you go to the orphanage to meet Mr. Sakuragawa."
"Miss Yan Yong thinks, why did he do this?"
Yan Yong Qinzi was a little puzzled, but answered anyway.
"Because Mr. Dazai is gentle and respects my choice."
"No."
Natsume shook his head, "At least, not entirely."
The young man looked into her eyes with a soft but firm voice.
"—because he loves you."
I love you more than anything in the world, more than the fear in my heart.
So I would rather take the risk of losing you than tell you the truth, so that you can make a choice that is worthy of your heart, and you will not regret it in the future.
Yan Yongqinzi was stunned.
Natsume continued.
"Ms. Yan Yong hasn't been in a relationship for the past few years, and she hasn't accepted Mr. Sakuragawa, isn't it because she can't forget him?"
"Because no one else can enter your heart except that person."
Natsume is as sensitive and delicate as Osamu Dazai, and at the same time, living with monsters, he understands Kotoko Iwanaga better than ordinary people.
He can be counted as a mediator between Osamu Dazai and Kotoko Iwanaga.
"It's just that you haven't discovered it yourself."
Considering her mood, Natsume's voice was very soft, but to Iwanaga Kotoko's ears, it was still like a dagger delicately cutting open her heart.
The eloquent debater was rarely stunned.
"But……"
After so many years, Mr. Dazai will forget her.
No, she knows, Mr. Dazai's character, as long as he walks into his heart, he will never forget it.
But now when he appears in front of Mr. Dazai again... he will feel that he has lied to him.
Will you be angry, hate her, hate her?
In this way, it is better not to forget.
But, does she really want Mr. Dazai to forget? She obviously cannot forget it herself.
what happened.
Why use logic to think, can't figure it out.
A strong wind blew past, carrying sand and stones and forcing them to close their eyes.The forest rustled and the leaves were rolled down.The dilapidated Japanese-style mansion next to it also made the sound of air leakage.
It seems to be reflecting a state of mind that is difficult to calm down.
Yan Yongqinzi's necklace had scratches in the previous battle. After being blown like this, it struggled a few times in the wind and broke.
Natsume Takashi got up and helped her pick up the necklace and ring.
He looked at the ring and was startled suddenly.
Yan Yong Qinzi: "What's wrong?"
"There are dark patterns on the inner ring of the ring, and there are words inside."
Natsume handed her the ring.
"Really, I didn't find out."
Gotta buy a new necklace.
Yan Yongqinzi responded casually, reaching out to take it.
She changed several angles until she saw the words on the inner ring of the ring at a certain angle and under the light, which was really hard to find.
Seeing that moment, she was stunned.
【I will always wait for you】
I will always wait for you.
"..."
Mr. Dazai...
Mr. Dazai...
For a while, no one spoke, only the wind.
a long time.
Natsume asked softly, "Are you okay?"
"Ok?"
Aware of her doubts, he explained.
"You are crying."
Iwanaga Kotoko laughed.
"Natsume-kun, what nonsense did you say, how could I..."
cry.
Before she finished speaking, she saw a drop of tears falling on the sleeping teacher cat.
The white cat's ears trembled, but there was no sound.
……Eh?
Yan Yong Qinzi raised her hand and felt the moisture on her cheek.
This strange touch made her a little dazed.
strangeness.
Why……
how come……
"Miss Iwanaga—"
Natsume handed the handkerchief to Iwanaga Kotoko and knelt down in front of her.
"Indeed, compared to monsters and gods, we humans are too weak."
"But also trust our human feelings."
"Emotions are unique to us. Gods don't have them, and monsters can't understand them. With emotions, human beings will become stronger than ever before, and they can exert power beyond gods."
"Sometimes it works wonders."
"so……"
There was a warm and firm light in the boy's eyes, which made people want to believe it.
"Please listen to your 'human' side."
"..."
Kotoko Iwanaga wiped away her tears and closed her eyes.
When it was opened again, the purple pupil became clear and bright again.
She made up her mind.
"I'm going back to find him!"
Without further ado, let's go.
"I will trouble you to take care of the monsters during this time, Natsume-kun."
Natsume Takashi nodded with a smile.
"give it to me."
"I'll give you a ride."
he said again.
The camera keeps zooming in, passing through the clouds, mountains, and finally the earth.
The girl called "Princess" by the monster is sitting on the shoulder of the bone spirit, walking in a certain direction.
She is wearing a beret, with long fluffy and curly light chestnut hair hanging behind her, with long hair reaching to her waist, holding a scepter in her hand, with an elegant demeanor, and the hem of a foreign dress swaying in the wind.
A silver-white ring pendant hangs on the chest, shining brightly in the sun.
