Healing Vest Essence

"Hmm... From your narration, there are obvious differences in our personalities, experiences, and positions," said the boy Oda Saku, who was basically flat with interrogative words, although he couldn't understand just listening to his voice. His doubts came out, "Even so, can we still be friends?"

"Yes." Oda Sakunosuke replied firmly.

As my 14-year-old self said, it is unbelievable that the three of them became best friends, but it is what it is.

So what if Ango Sakaguchi, Sakunosuke Oda, and Osamu Dazai originally belonged to the PortMafia organization?There are gaps and differences between them that cannot be ignored.

At that time, Ango Sakaguchi was a legendary intelligence agent inside Mafia, an emissary in the dark.At the beginning, he used his top talent as a network hacker selling information, and joined forces with his accomplices to create a lot of trouble for Mafia.

The accomplices were captured by Mafia's tracking force one by one, but Ango Sakaguchi, who had been hiding in hiding for several months, was not caught.

What is even more amazing is that even if the interests of Port Mafia were damaged in this way, in the end, Ango Sakaguchi ended up not being tortured in the interrogation room, but being recruited by PortMafia leader Mori Ogai as his right-hand man.

——Although from the perspective of Oda Sakunosuke after experiencing so many things now, it is very likely that Mori Ogai already knew the truth that Ango Sakaguchi was a spy sent by the Supernatural Secret Service Division, but he kept his face and planned With a huge plan, he tried his best to use this pawn.

Osamu Dazai is even better than Ango Sakaguchi.His wisdom and closeness once threatened the entire dark world of Yokohama, and his methods were brutal. "The misfortune of Dazai's enemy is that his enemy is Dazai" is a popular saying in the port of Mafia. [1]

Osamu Dazai took the position of Mafia cadre at a fairly young age, but no one would be unconvinced.And wherever he went, it was the center of violence and bloodshed.

Oda Sakunosuke doesn't think that his experience and talent can be compared with Sakaguchi Ango and Dazai Osamu. He is just an inconspicuous low-level member of PortMafia. You must have superb gun skills honed in the killer period.

However, these three people met each other by chance and hit it off. They always tacitly met at Lupin Bar for drinks in their spare time after work, and talked to each other about various things in life.

If you want to analyze how they got to know each other well and how they came to have this friendship, even one of the parties, Sakunosuke Oda, couldn't answer.

However, as long as the three of them gather together, even if they just sit quietly and drink together, it will be happy and unforgettable.

The 14-year-old killer obviously couldn't understand this feeling: "Why do we become friends... I still don't understand."

Oda Sakunosuke thought for a while, but couldn't find the answer, so he followed his own voice and replied: "There is no need for a reason to associate with a person and become a friend."

"A friend is a friend, you have to tell me," Oda Sakunosuke pondered for a moment, then continued, "Because they are of the same kind, they are all "lost dogs", so they can attract each other's souls."

"It may be destined to be friends, so there is no need to dwell too much on the so-called positions, concepts, and differences... I only know that Dazai is Dazai, Ango is Ango, and I make friends with them, that's all."

[Oda Sakunosuke] It is rare to show the youthfulness and ignorance of a 14-year-old boy. Even if this is himself in the same body, Oda Sakunosuke can't help but have the affectionate attitude of an old father, and explain his thoughts seriously.

"Really... It seems that in the future, I will like them very much," the young man suddenly thought of something, and said "uh", "But we have been in this time and space for so long, you don't plan to meet them? It feels like you It’s not that I don’t miss them.”

After hearing this question, Oda Sakunosuke fell into silence for a while.

"Oh, I see, you forgot about it."

When Oda Sakunosuke heard the words of the young Oda Saku, he inexplicably felt that he had been shot in the knee, as if he had become the one who was accused of being a scumbag when he was dealing with the emotional disputes of some middle and high-level members of Mafia. Men do.

Yazawa Haruto finally felt the blunt side of Oda Sakunosuke's character, and sincerely wiped a bitter tear for the forgotten Ango Sakaguchi and Osamu Dazai.

"During this time, I was only writing novels to make money to support those children, so I can't remember." Looking back on the history of difficult family support during this period, Oda Sakunosuke realized that he had really left his close friends behind, and he felt guilty.

"Foxosuke also said that I was worried that the dead me would reappear, and I took the initiative to meet with familiar people, which caused me to be completely exposed to this time and space. There is a certain probability that it will attract time-traveling troops and illegal inspections."

Yazawa Haruto doesn't think so completely, even if this is one of the factors, but there are other reasons at a higher level.

"No, you didn't tell the truth." Oda Sakunosuke was not surprised to hear the words of the 14-year-old boy Oda Saku to expose his own thoughts.

"You don't know how to face them." The boy said lightly.

Oda Sakunosuke also affirmed his guess, should he say "I know him best": "After all, I have disappeared in their world for four full years."

If it were Oda Sakunosuke who had never experienced collapse and death, he might have actively recognized his friends, but now he can't pretend that nothing happened.

This is the time and space four years later, although for Oda Sakunosuke, it was just the time for waking up from a sleep, and he personally did not experience these long four years.

However, Ango Sakaguchi and Osamu Dazai really spent these four years.

Oda Sakunosuke knew them well, and without much reasoning, he could have guessed that after he left, his death would be interspersed between two friends with completely different positions, not to mention that one of them indirectly contributed to Oda's death. Sakunosuke's death.

It is impossible for Ango Sakaguchi and Osamu Dazai to go back to the past, and parting ways is a reasonable development.

And in the past four years, he has missed too much of Ango Sakaguchi and Osamu Dazai, and suddenly appeared in their world without any preparation. Will they believe it?

For smart people like Sakaguchi Ango and Dazai Osamu, such absurd things as the undead returning to the world, they will believe that someone is playing tricks and there is a conspiracy against them.

More importantly, Oda Sakunosuke didn't know how to treat his two friends.

For Sakaguchi Ango's betrayal, no matter how understanding and considerate Oda Sakunosuke is, he still has resentment in his heart, but he is more mature than Dazai Osamu.

Dazai's accusation of Ango's betrayal and abandonment is not a kind of coquettish complaint.He seemed to be deceived by someone close to him that he had candy, but he waited until dark for the other party to say sorry, a child who lost all trust and expectations, erected thorns all over his body to resist the approach of the deceiver.

Oda Sakunosuke used the perspective of an adult to see the difficulty and trembling of Ango Sakaguchi, which is understandable, but the death of the five children and the uncle is also a scar after all.

And Dazai.

——People are born to redeem themselves, and they will understand when they are about to die. [2]

This is a sentence that Sakunosuke Oda realized before he died, and it is precisely his unswerving pursuit of light and kindness that made him say to Osamu Dazai, "Go and be the one who saves people."

But this is wrong. Oda Sakunosuke thought about it now, and denied his own suggestion at the time.

Even Mr. Natsume Soseki couldn't ensure that the direction of guidance must be beautiful and correct-after giving him advice, his life took a turning point, which also led to the tragedy that followed.What qualifications does he have to guide the life of Osamu Dazai, thinking that it is a path suitable for Osamu Dazai?

Dazai, if he really did what he said, it would be acting against his expectations, not living for himself at all.

This is not to redeem oneself at all, but to be forced to stay in this decaying world with the will of the dead, every moment is like a stranded fish, about to suffocate, and truly feel this "immortality" "Body" confines the soul and brings pain to the living.

Oda Sakunosuke regretted it.

However, when he told the 14-year-old [Oda Sakunosuke] about this feeling, he got a rebuttal from the other party: "You are not Osamu Dazai, how do you know that he will suffer because of this, how do you know that he will not feel relaxed? Did you feel better, and the pain eased?"

"What really hurts him is not loneliness, isn't it the departure of you and Ango Sakaguchi?"

The soul of the red-haired young man inside was suddenly shocked.

"You should reunite with them as soon as possible, even if you may leave this time and space later," the voice of the young Oda Saku has the power to inspire the soul, and the words hit the heart of Oda Sakunosuke, "but this To them, this short period of time is the most precious, not to mention everything is unknown now."

"Odasaku, they have been waiting for you to go back for a long time." Like his friends, the young killer called his name in this special way.

"I understand." Oda Sakunosuke replied.

The red-haired young man suddenly figured everything out in his mind, and his tone was rare and relaxed: "Hmm, I have some doubts, am I really like you when I am 14 years old."

The young Oda Saku had already planned everything.

His planning started from the beginning of the creation of the novel "Punishing Evil".Otherwise, there is obviously a better way - the materials accumulated by Oda Sakunosuke over the years, since he can support his creation of "The Good Couple", he must be able to write other chapters - why does the young Oda Sakunosuke insist on proposing, Oda Sakunosuke "Punishing Evil" was written based on the three of them.

It's to get people's attention.

Let Dazai Osamu and Sakaguchi Ango know that Oda Sakunosuke is back.

"Although when I was a killer, I really adhered to the point of "As long as I kill people who see me kill, I will not expose", but I don't like killing people very much." [Oda Sakunosuke] was a little puzzled, "Aren't you Is it like this, in order to hide the identity of the killer, a small plan must be made for each mission."

Being mentioned in this way, Oda Sakunosuke suddenly remembered that he didn't have such a habit at all?

During the killer period of Oda Sakunosuke, he basically relied on recklessness and supernatural powers.

Uh, maybe, this is the self who used his brains when he was a teenager in another world.

It's no wonder that he always feels that his personality is not very similar to himself, and he is a little bit more active.

The boy Odasaku was still talking about his plan: "Although you can't take the initiative to appear in front of them, it's fine if we let them come to you."

"The only thing we need to do is to submit the latest manuscript to the editor in person."

Oda Sakunosuke felt the difference in IQ.

But none of these emotions can match the violent fluctuation of mood at the moment.

Now, Oda Sakunosuke, throwing away all worries, just wants to see his two friends soon.

Then drink with them and talk about things they haven't said in four years—but maybe they did when they visited his grave?

What Oda Sakunosuke did not expect for the moment was that Osamu Dazai and Ango Sakaguchi also made the same decision at this time.

I want to meet Oda Sakunosuke again as soon as possible.

So, they headed toward each other, rushed toward each other.

For the next moment to meet again.

"So our vacation is over, let's hurry up and write."
