attack on rotten oranges

Chapter 8 July 2005

Bunbu Shuhei moved his lips soundlessly, feeling as if something was stuck in his throat, unable to speak.

Perhaps it was because of the experience of losing his parents and shelter in his childhood and having to wander alone on the streets of Yokohama;

Perhaps it is because after being adopted by Oda Sakunosuke, he is used to taking care of younger siblings as the eldest son instead of guardian;

Maybe it's because I'm in the magic world, and subconsciously think that the elders who are supernatural beings can't do anything...

Wenbu Shuhei has always insisted on facing everything alone.

Bunbu Shuhei has always been considerate, facing only his own goals, he is unwilling to add any extra burden to the guardians who concentrate on creation and the teachers who are busy with work.

"It's a virtue not to cause trouble to others, Xiao Shuhei." Osamu Dazai gathered the documents on his desk into a pile, "But if it happens to someone close to him, it will be very unpleasant."

Taking advantage of the absence of the Central Plains Central Committee, he threw the documents in his hands on the desks of innocent cadres, and practiced his theory of "don't be afraid to cause trouble to those close to you".

"Although it sounds reasonable," Shuhei Bunbu was powerless when he heard the sound of papers falling from the terminal, "but this cannot be an excuse for you to avoid work."

"Huh? Xiao Shuhei finally learned how to complain? Congratulations." Dazai Osamu "cleaned up" his work, and happily returned to the leader's desk, "Then I can announce that Ango is useless at the next meeting , kick him out of Lupine's."

"..." Shuhei Bunbu did not say anything for Ango Sakaguchi, who was assigned to Dazai Osamu's persecution plan.

Although he knew that the other party was forced by his duty, Ango Sakaguchi almost indirectly caused Oda Sakunosuke's death after all.

"..."

Osamu Dazai crossed his legs and sat behind the leader's desk in a relaxed posture, allowing the silence in the terminal to continue.

The two seemed to be fighting silently.

Osamu Dazai sat firmly on the Diaoyutai.And Bunbu Shuhei's mind was in a mess, although he knew Mr. Dazai couldn't see him, but he seemed to be under that sharp and penetrating gaze, so he held up the terminal at a loss what to do.

"Teacher Dazai," Shuhei Bunbube couldn't bear the silent suffering, and spoke first, "I was warned by the Colorless King."

***

The middle-aged man who was waiting for Wenbu Shuhei at the Imperial Pillar Tower that day was the Colorless King—Miwa Yiyan.

After finishing the conversation, Bunbu Shuhei left the Pillar Tower and found Takehara waiting in the car outside.

"I haven't seen you all this time, are you okay?" Takehara asked worriedly, "They said they arranged for other people to discuss with you?"

Takehara is six years older than Bunbu Shuhei, and he has been the head of the family for two years, so even though he is a good friend of Bunbu Shuhei, he always treats Bunbu Shuhei unconsciously with some old mother-like care.

"There are other people." After Wenbu Shuhei got into the car, his face became extremely ugly. He leaned back on the back of the chair, his hair was messy on his forehead, his eyes were slightly closed, and his breathing was short.

His physical condition is not good, coupled with his paleness after confinement, he showed a feeling of fragility after being hit too hard.

"Hey! Are you okay?" Zhu Yuan was startled, and quickly opened a bottle of water and handed it over, "What's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine," Wenbu Shuhei said in a hoarse voice, took the water bottle, but just put it sideways on his forehead to cool down.

"You are so prone to headaches!" Zhu Yuan stretched out his hand and pulled the bottle down, and gave him another towel, "Wipe the water."

"..." Bunbu Shuhei let Takehara move, and after a moment of silence, he said, "The one who is talking to me is the Colorless King."

"Who?" Zhu Yuan couldn't believe it.

"The colorless king, three rounds and one word."

Seeing Shuhei's performance, Takehara decided not to ask about the content of the conversation for the time being. He thought for a while, and began to popularize Shuhei's family knowledge about the world of magic with him: "Speaking of which, the colorless king and the world of magic are the opposite. There is something to do with it."

Bunbu Shuhei held the towel on his head and looked at Takehara with his head tilted. It could be seen that he was trying to mobilize his spirit: "The Miwa family? What a coincidence?"

"Yes, it's the Sanwa family that has declined." Zhuyuan said, "But it's not a coincidence, you know, the family of the magic world has been passed down for a long time, and with the wives and concubines system that has lasted until modern times, the division of families There are so many, it’s not surprising that ordinary people have blood ties with families in the magic world.”

"I remember..." Zhu Yuan narrowed his eyes and tried to recall, "In [Feishiyuan], there should be a branch of the Gojo family. That branch separated the Gojo family 50 years ago and vowed to abandon the spell. The status and status of the world, serving the Guochang Lu family for generations."

"Are there still sorcerers in the line of the Gojo family?" Shuhei Bunbube asked.

"It's hard to say," Zhuyuan said, seeing that his little friend had regained some energy, he touched his chin with satisfaction, "Although the ability of the King of Gold can stimulate people's talents to the greatest extent, it is still unknown whether it can be effective for the talent of spells. of."

"...Probably not," Bunbu Shuhei tore off the towel on his head, stretched out his hand to brush his short smoke-gray hair back, "seeing that the King of Gold is still letting the magic world become its own, you can know that he probably has nothing to do. A means of interfering with the magic world."

"Speaking of [King's] ability," Takehara suddenly thought of a certain possibility, "The ability of this generation of colorless king is prophecy. Is he looking for you because of his prophecy?"

Zhu Yuan's expression became serious: "Xiuhei, you must not make any promises just because of the so-called prophecy, let alone set [restraints] casually. Even if he uses the identity of the king of colorless, or even the king of gold, to impose You can't even press it."

"We don't know how the future will develop, so if you rashly promise to destroy a possibility, it may be the only way out for you in the future." In the end, Takehara was even more anxious than Shuhei Bunbube, and even wanted to get out of the car for a while Go back to the Royal Pillar Tower and find the Colorless King theory.

Bunbu Shuhei grabbed Takehara, feeling the sincere friendship, he finally smiled from the bottom of his heart: "Don't worry, things haven't reached this point yet."

He leaned forward, with his elbows on his knees, his fingers facing each other, and he raised his head: "The Colorless King predicted something related to me, and today he is negotiating on behalf of the King of Gold, trying to avoid that future."

"It's still just a discussion stage, and I haven't been asked to promise anything."

Takehara stared at Shuhei Bunbube's eyes, trying to see something, but Shuhei Bunbube's eyes were extremely clear and innocent.

After a long while, Zhu Yuan was defeated: "Okay, I've convinced you, as long as you know what's in your mind."

He complained in a low voice, and started the car: "Okay, let's take you back, young master first."

***

The short memory is over.

"I...may not be able to go back to Yokohama as planned." Wenbu Shuhei said the first sentence, and it seemed much easier to confide later.

"You replied to what the Bunbu family said before, to complete the revenge plan within three years?" Osamu Dazai smiled, "To be honest, Xiao Shuhei, no one will take it seriously except you when you set this time."

"I thought...it would be easy." Shuhei Bunbu sat on the edge of the bed, resting his elbows on his knees. "I thought it would be enough to spend three years investigating the murderer."

"Investigate the murderer, and then what?" Osamu Dazai said jokingly, "no matter what his identity is, he will defect to the magic world and come to me as a cadre?"

"……"is it not OK?

Bunbu Osamu's pale golden eyes were filled with confusion, but instinctively, he remained silent.

Knowing the answer from the silence of Shuhei Bunbu, Osamu Dazai almost burst into laughter, he stood up and paced around the desk: "Little Shuhei, you know now, if you were in front of me, what would I do?" ?"

"I'll give you two punches and Itsuki." Dazai Osamu's voice was soft but dangerous, and Shuhei Bunbube was so startled that he still subconsciously made defensive actions through the terminal.

"Is it the Mimic incident that left you with any wrong examples? Xiao Shuhei?" Osamu Dazai said, "Although Mafia is used to solving the problems faced by the person who raised the problem. But you should know that this method is not right. fit for normal society."

"In order to solve your misconception Xiao Xiuping, let's talk about it first—what did the Colorless King warn you about?"

Shuhei Bunbu sat upright obediently, and answered the question sternly like an elementary school student being asked by a teacher, "He predicted that I would affect the stability of this country, so he warned me to be careful."

"Well, tell me what you deduced."

"The words of the colorless king Sanwa are related to the declining family Sanwa in the magic world. In a sense, they are the most prestigious spokesperson of the King of Gold in the magic world." Speaking of these, Bunbu Shuu calmed down Going down, "Separate the identity of the colorless king, the king, and the identity of the magic world—"

"Actually, the colorless king predicted the country's turbulent future and reported it to the gold king. The gold king sent his highest spokesperson in the magic world to hint and warn me not to act impulsively."

"It can cause the situation in the prophecy. It seems that I must attack the high-level people in the magic circle in the future." Speaking of this, thinking of the way he was criticized by Osamu Dazai just now, Bunbu Shuhei coughed in embarrassment, "Yeah , It should be that I directly killed the high-level people in the magic circle."

"And there should be more than one, otherwise it won't cause instability in the magic world, and even directly affect the social stability of the watch world."

"So, in the past two years, it was wrong for me to search for the murderer within the scope of the Bunbu family." Spreading out his mistakes in the sun, Bunbu Shuhei became even more depressed. "There are deeper secrets about the death of the mother and sister."

"The murderer who caused the accident that year was hiding in the upper layer of the magic world."

"That's right," Osamu Dazai applauded, "We have almost deduced everything related to your revenge. Now, let me ask you a question——"

"Since you will cause social instability in the future, why did the King of Gold choose to use a king to warn and correct your growth path instead of—"

"Get rid of you directly?"

"Do you think that the king of gold who has controlled Japan for 60 years is some kind of merciless person?"

Osamu Dazai raised a brand new question, a possibility that Shuhei Bunbu had never considered.

Bunbu Shuhei broke out in a cold sweat, realizing for the first time that he was living under the knife's edge, and his life was in danger at any time.

Pausing for a while, let Wenbu Shuhei digest the information in it, feeling that the scare is enough as a lesson, Dazai Osamu said unhurriedly: "Are you scared? Little Shuhei."

"Do you know 【Book】?" Osamu Dazai stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the blue sea and sky of Yokohama.

"It is an omnipotent book that folds countless worlds, and as long as you write on the pages, you can pull the corresponding world into reality and realize all your wishes."

Listening to Dazai Osamu's introduction, Bunbu Shuhei was moved for a moment: he also imagined the scene of a happy family life with his father, mother, and sister still alive.But then he was interrupted by Osamu Dazai's words.

"The main body of the [book] is missing, but there is a page of the book that is kept by the Supernatural Secret Service Division."

"The American plutocrats, the Russian rats, and the British clock tower attendants...all stared at the pages of the book. It was just because of the deterrent effect of the Japanese royal system that they never dared to make a move."

"But no matter what, the page is a time bomb."

"Are you aware of your key role in it? Xiao Shuhei." Dazai Osamu brought together things that seemed to be irreconcilable.

"Fulfilling wishes by writing... [Spell Manipulation]?" Shuhei Bunbube, who barely broke free from his fear, whispered with his mind spinning rapidly.

"Bingo! You're very sharp!" Osamu Dazai snapped his fingers, "Although you don't know it yourself, you are indeed [book]'s safety device!"

"The wish written on the page will not be invalidated due to alteration. If there is a problem with the page, you will be recruited to use [Spell Manipulation] to extract and consume the words on it."

"This is the value of your existence, Xiao Shuhei, congratulations on your luck to save your life." Osamu Dazai warned implicitly.

Shuhei Bunbe sat on the edge of the bed, his hands and feet were cold, the shock and fear brought about by these secrets made him temporarily lose control of his body.

"But... But, I can't be sure, I will definitely be able to affect the pages of the book." He asked with difficulty.

Osamu Dazai raised his eyebrows in surprise. He didn't expect Shuhei Bunbubu to question him in this situation, and his tone was much gentler: "It's just that you think you haven't touched the [book]."

"Have you forgotten, before you left Yokohama, did you register with the Supernatural Secret Service Division?"

"At that time, you must have been asked to try out the technique, right?"

At that time, Bunbu Shuhei recalled.

When the Wenbu family sent someone to pick him up, they were once stopped by the Supernatural Secret Service Section, who took them to an underground stronghold under the pretext of canceling their registered supernatural powers—thinking about it now, that’s even more It may be a hidden underground fortification.

Shuhei Bunbu carefully recalled the faces that appeared at that time, and later realized that, in addition to the Santou Taneda he knew when he was in the whitewashing of Oda Sakunosuke, there were even [Hound Dogs] from the military and police, and many more that he did not know. , but the unknown person whose status is obviously not low.

"The piece of paper that was given to me to help me use the spell is a book page!?"

Bunbu Shuhei didn't know how he should react, he was a bit overloaded with information today.The fear of life being threatened has not completely subsided, and Shuhei Bunbube was dizzy again by the secret thrown out by Osamu Dazai.

Now, although the safety of his life has been guaranteed, this kind of unknowingly arranged encounter made Shuhei Bunbu start to treat his plan with a more careful and meticulous attitude.

"Shuhei, do you understand?" Osamu Dazai estimated that he had completed the teaching goal, and began to wrap up. "If there is not a hidden good card, it is not surprising that your simple and rough plan will bring about any bad consequences."

"Recognize the environment you are in, and abide by the current rules of the game. Little Shuhei, you can win."

"I think it's too difficult to win with the rules of the sorcery world." Bunbu Shuhei was frustrated, and briefly expressed his conflict with the Chanyuan family.

"Huh?" Osamu Dazai laughed after hearing this, "Hahahahaha."

Shuhei Bunbu's frustration was simply the funniest joke Osamu Dazai had heard recently.

"Shuhei must recognize yourself!" Osamu Dazai wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his knuckles.

"You took your sister into a completely unknown territory at the age of 13, and you are 15 years old this year."

"In two years, I established my own status, hid the existence of my sister, and roughly determined the scope of the revenge target through this incident."

"The current conflict between you and the Zenyuan family is even an opportunity for you to compete with Zenyuan Naoya on the same stage and step him down in a fair manner."

"Aside from those three months of confinement, what have you really lost?"

"I'm still wearing a curse shackle, this competition is not fair..." Wenbu Shuhei said, but his voice could be heard to rise a lot.

"Even if the Chanyuan family didn't take the initiative to arrange a curse shackle for you, wouldn't you also take the initiative to seek it in order to hide sister sauce in front of [Six Eyes]?" Osamu Dazai smiled, "Don't tell me, you have no finishing plan."

"...Yes." Shuhei said.

"That's it. Don't worry about it."

"Xiuhei, you are far more capable than you imagined."

Osamu Dazai simply hung up the communication.

Bunbu Shuhei sat alone for a long time until night fell and the sky was filled with stars.

"Mr. Dazai, you are too cunning."

The teenager fell back on the bed, covering his eyes with his right arm.

In fact, the King of Gold may not necessarily kill him just because of a prophecy. The most likely result is to send [Fei Shi Yuan] to guard him strictly.

It's just that during the communication, Wenbu Shuhei was caught off guard by Dazai Osamu's question, his brain was short-circuited immediately, and he couldn't react, so he was repeatedly beaten and educated by Dazai Osamu.

"Is that still called capable?"

Bunbu Shuhei complained to himself, but the corners of his mouth kept rising——

I am far stronger than I imagined.

He turned his head to look at the wall separating himself from Xia Youjie's dormitory.

From his brief contact with Xia Youjie, Bunbu Shuhei has already noticed the core part of the other's personality - correctness and empathy.

Although he will skip classes and violate discipline in trivial matters, judging from Xia Youjie's firm belief in the concept that "magicians exist to protect non-sorcerers", "doing the right thing" should be the right thing for a black-haired boy. very important.

Moreover, Xia Youjie's subtle and repulsive expression after hearing the description of the aristocratic family during the dinner also gave Shuhei Bunbu a greater confidence in winning over the other party——

Investigate the "accident" that caused the death of his mother and sister, and take revenge on the mastermind behind it...

Even if Shuhei Bunbu believes that he is not a good person in the conventional concept, it does not prevent his purpose from being sympathetic, and there is nothing to criticize.

So, let's start with Xia Youjie.

Raid him and make him my future ally.

Bunbu Shuhei raised his right hand, his five fingers were in the air, and he clenched his fist... as if he had already grasped something in his hand.

The author has something to say:

Osamu Dazai deliberately released the pages of the Supernatural Secret Service Section, and Osamu Dazai also revealed that [Spell Manipulation] can affect the [Book].Osamu Dazai did all this to help Shuhei, the Ministry of Education, find the government as a backer.

Shuhei is actually very capable, but the reference target he found for himself is Dazai Osamu...so he is not confident in daily life, so that he is more inclined to use violent means to solve problems.

For example, in the previous conflict with Zenyuan Naoya, the Zenyuan family thought it would only be a quarrel between juniors, but they didn't expect Shuhei to beat him up directly... The three-month confinement could have been avoided.

But Shuhei will act more cautiously in the future~ Current goal: Raid Xia Youjie!

Also, Shuhei didn't eat dinner again, and the elder sister in the body was very angry.
