——Collective Creation

The weather has already shown signs of the end of spring, the days are growing, the clothes of pedestrians on the road are gradually becoming lighter, and the flow of people enjoying cherry blossoms is also increasing day by day.

The afternoon sun was a bit dazzling. Looking back, Hoshino put down his work, opened the shop door, sat beside the black-haired young man in the corner, and greeted casually, "Here you are."

"Yeah. Hoshino, I heard that you will be blown up when you dismantle a dud bomb." The young man pried open the shell casing, knocked the gunpowder on the ground, and carved indelible scratches on the ground.The black hair swayed with his movements, the windbreaker hanging on the ground was stained with dust, the fallen cherry blossom petals floated over with the wind, and there were flying flowers like snow in the distance.

Hoshino glanced at the young man's face slightly, grabbed the corner of his clothes with his fingers, and threatened in a playful tone, "No, no. You will be injured, the shrapnel embedded in your body will puncture your blood vessels, and you will lose too much blood, ending yourself in pain s life."

The young man paused, "Well, Hoshino knows so much, will it hurt? Forget it." After saying that, the young man let go of the thing and let the thing fall to the ground, and the gunpowder inside was scattered all over the floor. .

"Come in." Hoshino stood up first, and handed Dazai his hand, "It's too cold on the ground."

Dazai stretched out his hand and propped the other hand on the ground, stood up with strength, and slapped the dust off his body, "Hey, Hoshino, today is Sunday."

"Don't you know?" Hoshino turned over the business card hanging on the door, announced to the public that the business was suspended, and lowered the curtains hanging on both sides, "Is there anything new recently?"

"No. It can be said that it is extremely boring." Dazai leaned on the chair and tilted his head, "But the only thing I heard is that a casino owner stepped on a chip when he was running away, and died on the spot."

Ever since Dazai became the leader of Port Mafia, the Port Mafia has been in a state of expansion. In recent years, its power has gradually expanded, and even spread to the international community.

Without answering, Hoshino brought a glass of wine in a classic cup and put it on the table, with lemongrass on the side.The wine was light yellow in color, Dazai picked it up and took a sip, "Huh? This is made with dish soap... Is Hoshino granting my wish?"

"It's made by boiling lemon juice and lemongrass juice with sugar, and mixing it with sake soaked in lemons. How does it taste?"

"I thought it would be some kind of strange approach." Dazai hung his head and finished drinking the fruit wine, with some disappointment.

Hoshino narrowed his eyes and leaned forward, "The carrion of a crow, the hair of a black cat, and then dripped with a green luminous liquid, and then a luminous stone? Then..." The nouns that followed became more and more strange. They laughed out loud at the same time.

"I said, if you really do this, the first to fall is the person who did it."

"Yeah. It's the easiest way to add some chemicals directly."

"..."

There was silence in the air.

"Hoshino, it's spring."

"Yes."

"Spring is beautiful, but is there any meaning for us to live?"

"No." Hoshino, who was sitting across from him, answered bluntly, "Life is meaningless."

Dazai's pupils shrank suddenly——too straightforward answer

He once asked this question to his teacher, Mori Ogai, but at that time, he left without waiting for Mori Ogai's answer.Now he asked the question again and heard this answer.

"What are you thinking?" Hoshino suddenly laughed, "But every action of ours has meaning. Bringing happiness to others and bringing pain to others is the inevitable result of what we do. No one Those who can be avoided, including you and me."

"Is it...? It's so strange. A year ago, Ms. Hoshino was still committed to committing suicide."

"Just that one time."

Hoshino argued.But even though he said that, Hoshino admitted that if Dazai hadn't gone to the cemetery that day, she would really have slept there forever.

"It almost succeeded."

"yes……"

Hoshino looked out the window and said lightly, the days with his parents and younger siblings flashed in his mind, that was also such a season, the family was together, joking with each other, laughing out loud.It's just that such a simple day can only appear in memory now.

The breath of late spring is getting heavier and heavier, the cherry blossoms on the street are withering from morning to night, and even her back garden seems to have been snowed heavily, with thousands of flowers flying everywhere.Looking back, the young man sitting opposite had already fallen asleep.

Are you really asleep?

Silent.

I don't know when it started, every Sunday afternoon Dazai came here to drink a glass of sake, chat a few words, and then fell asleep.It seems that I have saved all my sleep this week until this afternoon and evening.

Both acquiesced to the existence of this moment.

Hoshino took down the book and sat quietly, occasionally quietly raising his eyes to look at Dazai who was lying on the opposite side. The sunlight happened to hit the two of them, and the air was coated with warm colors, warmly prompting the seeds to germinate.The lemongrass on the table exudes a clear aroma that surrounds and gradually spreads throughout the room.

Until the sunset finally burned itself into a fiery red light, Dazai raised his head and yawned, "Time flies, I have to go back to work tomorrow, now, Hoshino, have another glass of sake to sober up."

Hoshino put the book down and poured a cup of warm water and handed it over, "Drink warm water just after waking up, Dazai. Even if it's work, it won't take your life. Death from overwork is too painful. By the way, just now Zhong also came over and sent over the documents you need to process, and I will bring them to you."

"This guy Chuya..."

The file bag was as thick as a book, Hoshino and the pen were placed in front of Dazai, and there was a note on it, which said to pick up Dazai before midnight today, please ask Hoshino to take care of him during this period.

"If that's the case, come back, it's time to prepare dinner." Hoshino looked at Dazai and turned off the light.In the inner cabinet lay a large bag of candy, which was an order made by the Mafia members of the port the day before yesterday, and they agreed to come and pick it up tomorrow afternoon.

Pushing open the door, Hoshino suddenly asked, "Zhong is also on a mission, right?"

"En." Standing in front of the French windows, Dazai looked at the trees in the yard and agreed softly.

"okay, I get it."

After changing clothes and putting on an apron, Hoshino rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, the sound of running water came from the kitchen, Dazai stood at the door of the kitchen like a ghost.It was the first time I heard such a voice since I was born, and a strange feeling spread in my heart.

Is it still the same feeling?

Dazai asked, "Do you want me to help?"

"Huh? Yes?" Hoshino felt that Dazai, as the leader of Mafia at the port, never had to cook by himself. With a skeptical attitude, Hoshino gave Dazai the ingredients for porridge.

When Hoshino took out a small spoonful of soup and was about to taste it, he was going to stop Hoshino with his hand, "Forget it."

But before Dazai stretched out his hand, Hoshino had already put the spoon into her mouth, a strange dizzying taste swept over her taste buds, she thought about it seriously, "Plus some scallion white and seasoned sauce It will be much better this way." Said, Hoshino turned around and threw in some scallions, adjusted the sauce and poured it into the pot.

When the lid was opened again, a faint fragrance wafted in the air.Hoshino filled a bowl and handed it to Dazai, and brought the finished dishes to the dining room.

"Unexpectedly, as the leader, Dazai can cook. Although the taste needs to be improved, it is already very good to be able to make it like this."

"..."

It sounded like sarcastic words, but Dazai knew that Hoshino was simply sighing, but he had nothing to answer her.

"I'm starting." Hoshino clasped his hands together and said softly with a smile

"I'm gonna start now."

Simultaneously.

The sky outside the window was completely dark, and the stars faintly emitted faint light, intersecting each other's orbits.Near midnight, Chuya came to pick up Dazai, and the smell of gunpowder and dust remained in the air.

Hoshino prepared things and still opened the next day.Sure enough, the person who ordered the candy came to pick up the candy on time in the afternoon, and took the medicine with him, carrying it out like this, it looked like he had taken a big bag of medicine.

The wind chime at the door rang again.

"We want the same dose of medicine."

Hoshino took out a small jar and put it on the table, "You can only take a hundred tablets at a time." This rule has been broken since she came here, only because the mimic has been broken once, and it will never be broken again. Then, it seems unreasonable The rules have effectively controlled the scale of conflict between the two organizations in the period following the end of the leading war.After all, desperadoes are rare.

"You sold more than a hundred pieces to Port Mafia."

"They're just taking regular candy."

The gun was loaded and pointed at Hoshino, she still answered like this.

The white handkerchief suddenly stuck to Hoshino's nose and mouth, Hoshino struggled a few times, and fell down properly.Someone came to drag Hoshino into the car, and the person standing on the other side of the street, holding candy in his hand, watched this scene, and silently turned on his phone, "Mr. Chuya, they are hooked."

"it is good."

underground warehouse.

The black cloth covering his eyes was roughly torn off, messing up the bundled hair, and the incandescent lamp hit his face, Hoshino squinted and closed his eyes, his eyes were red.

"Miss Hoshino refused to cooperate with us last year, and this year she negotiated with the port Mafia. Ms. Hoshino is really unpleasant." The cold gun provoked Hoshino's jaw, and there was an inexplicable smile on his pretty face , and with a contemptuous look, Hoshino did not speak.

"So, is Ms. Hoshino planning to cooperate with us?" As soon as the words were finished, there was a loud noise from above, a red light flashed, and the door was opened immediately, a layer of dust was thrown up by the violent destruction, and the air became blurred.

Hoshino coughed and complained softly, "Huh—so slow."

The sound of footsteps kicking rhythmically on the ground, the people in the warehouse lined up, and the members occupying the commanding heights pointed their guns at the door. The sparks from the muzzle lit up the dark place, and the bullets weaved a dense net to cover the enemy.

Hoshino slowly opened his eyes, put the muzzle of the gun on the back of her head, turned his head and reminded kindly: "I said, don't you run away? After a while, all the teammates will die, but there will be no chance."

"Shut up!" Pushing hard from the muzzle of the gun, Hoshino took a painful breath, the button-shaped pills were crushed, and the tasteless gas diffused in the air, and the hand holding her arm tightened, resisting The gun in the back of the head fell to the ground with a clang, and the small sound was barely heard in the hail of bullets.The man with the gun lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground, unconscious.

"You..." the fallen man murmured, his voice dissipated in the gunshots.

"The last time you suffered the same loss, why don't you have a long memory?" Hoshino asked puzzled.For this kind of thing of revenge for herself by the way, she has always been happy to cooperate.

The leader was Chuya, followed by a silver-haired boy.

The dagger cut the rope, and Hoshino stood up from the chair, "There are still a lot of people, and it will take a lot of effort, so I'll go back first. Hey, I'm a little numb."

"Hey, there's an ambush up there." Zhong also reminded, the black hat was firmly on his head, his orange hair was exposed, he retracted the dagger, and he handed Hoshino a gun.

Hoshino rubbed his wrists for a moment, and then laughed, "Ah, how could those guys hit me, don't worry—you just keep this." Patting the dust on his body, Hoshino's sensitive eyes Walk through the gunfire, avoid the fierce battle, and easily return to the top.

A thin black figure stood at the door, with his back to the person who came up.In silence, he suddenly turned around and looked at each other.Dazai didn't know why he came, he should have been sitting in the office waiting for news from Chuya, but maybe it was to confirm something, and at the same time he listened to the voice in his heart.

"Let's go?" Hoshino walked forward quickly, tilted his head and smiled at Dazai, like two old friends who met at the appointed place, they were very familiar.There was also gunfire behind her, but that didn't matter at all.

The night invades the west from the east, the light blue in the east gradually transitions to the barely red sky in the west, the shadow of a half-round white moon is cast in the sky, and the stars do not know where they are still hidden.

"Well, let's go." Dazai nodded, the feeling just now disappeared, as if he came here for this matter.Things just went exactly as he expected.

"Hoshino, how about joining the mafia?" Dazai suggested.

"No."

It was still a straightforward answer without any hesitation.Dazai knew that she would not agree easily, and was quite a firm person.

Casually standing in the opponent's position will undoubtedly lose himself, and Hoshino is no longer willing to be regarded as a pawn that can be easily grasped without thinking.

On the chessboard, she is sometimes an unknown variable.

When he reached the shop, Dazai didn't go in, but stood at the door with his arms down, looked at the room where the door was opened and lit, and said in a low voice, "Goodbye."

The black coat drew an arc, and the wrist hidden under it was suddenly held in the hot palm through the bandage.

"Well, Mr. Dazai, I was rescued just now, so it's not good to leave me here alone." Hoshino reached out to grab him, and immediately let go, "It's not too late to come in and have a glass of sake before leaving. Besides, it would be too dangerous for Mr. Dazai to go back alone."

It's just that such a request should not be rejected.

But Hoshino regretted it, the feeling of fear submerged her heart instantly, and her breathing seemed to be still.What should I do if I am rejected?

Hoshino didn't know.

It was a long wait for her, but it was only a few seconds of silence.

"It's a good proposal, just waiting for that guy Nakaya to come back here." Dazai curled up his mouth and walked in, "Then it's still limoncello."

Hoshino breathed a sigh of relief.

That's fine.

As for the tacit cooperation, there is no need to say it. The real Mafia members of the port will not appear in her shop to pick up the medicine at that time, unless it is arranged by the leader.

Hoshino also said last night that he knew and would cooperate well.

When the night fell completely, Nakaya stood at the door with a silver-haired boy, through the glass Hoshino could smell the strong smell of blood on the two of them, Dazai nodded to signal them to come in.

Perhaps it was his first arrival, but the silver-haired boy seemed a little cautious.She was wearing a black coat, her bangs were tilted to one side, and her neck was full of scars.The two people were full of blood and disturbed the gentle atmosphere here, and they seemed out of place here.

"You are a boy who has just turned into a tiger. Eating this can heal your wounds." Hoshino brought medicine and two glasses of drinks.

Although Zhong also noticed that Hoshino had consciously observed the surroundings, he never thought that she could remember Atsushi.He clearly remembered that Hoshino just walked out of the gate when Dunhu transformed.She shouldn't have seen it.But, "You can tell just by looking at it. Huh, this person must be of the same type as Dazai."

The conversation between him and Hoshino when they separated flashed through his mind.

"Hoshino."

The person walking in front turned around and looked at Chuya with questioning eyes.

"You know it, right?" The sapphire blue eyes stared at Hoshino, as if trying to see through her.

The other party raised his hand and clenched it into a fist at the corner of his mouth, forced a smile, and his tone was a little complaining, as if to a child who had made a mistake, "What kind of problem is this... Chuya, I'm leaving, it's really too much here. It's dangerous."

Is this a downvote, or the default?

Zhong also averted his eyes.

No one would allow herself to be used, but Hoshino acquiesced that Dazai used her as bait.Perhaps it was because she believed in her abilities, even if she was not killed, that organization might not be able to hurt her.However, if it wasn't for cooperating with Dazai, she would not have been caught at all.Zhong Ye rubbed between his brows, forget it, that woman must have her own plans.

Now, the silver-haired boy was bewildered by this sudden kindness, Dazai said, "Good job, it will be better next time." good."

"What's your name?" Hoshino asked.

"Atsushi Nakajima."

"It's the first time I've come here, it doesn't matter, just come here a few more times in the future. Don-kun." Hoshino laughed, and with the light, it shone into Don's eyes.

Atsushi Nakajima lowered his eyes to avoid Hoshino, his smile was unexpectedly attractive and not glaring, "Thank you, miss." This place is like a fairy tale in a dream.

"Well, since we're all here, let's see you again. Tomorrow is still a day of work." Hoshino stood up with a smile and clapped his hands to see off the guests, "I'm going back to rest."

Before the rest of the people could react, the lock of the shop clicked and locked the three people out.

The night is dark blue, with a few stars flickering on and off at the corner of the sky, and dark clouds wandering in the sky, sometimes blocking half of the bright moon.

Someone parked the black car on the corner of the street, waited for three people to get in the car, and drove away.

It was another tacit meeting, and the air was very quiet, as if it was taken for granted.

The car stopped in front of the Mafia building at the port. Dazai got off the car and stepped into the office alone with a wave of his hand. In order to ensure the safety of the leader, the repair materials here are extremely tight, like a dark cage, airtight.People who step into the room for the first time can't tell the difference between east, west, south, north, and just feel that they are deep in nothingness, hesitant and helpless.

The dim light placed on the desk brought the only light source here, the chest seemed to refuse to work here, the heart suddenly became heavier, dull, beating with difficulty.

One end of the red scarf was propped up on the table, and the young man sitting in front of the table crossed his fingers in front of him, his eyes were slightly closed, without any expression, his broken hair was hanging down to block his eyes, and his face could not be seen inside. Eye color, the air around him was as silent as death.

The young people sitting there plan the direction of the world and protect the existence here by themselves.On the black and white chessboard, everyone is just his pawn.Under the king's hand, this pawn exists as a queen.

The queen's value is different from any ordinary chess piece, no matter what kind of move, there are very few rules binding her.And, when necessary - the queen can break all the rules - for the king.

It is not easy to find such a chess piece.

She is the perfect queen.

At some point, his heart beat violently, and then returned to calm. There was a voice deeply rooted in his heart. If he pulled it out with brute force, the place would be bloody—then just ignore the existence of that voice , he suppressed that voice, ignoring it and shouting in a low voice.

Dazai suddenly reached out his hand to turn off the lamp, and the room fell into complete darkness.

Soon, soon, it will be over soon.

Wait a minute.

There is nothing to miss in this world.

The author has something to say:

The Xuanjiu on lof is me, the avatar Dazai, welcome to play with me~

That... I am not writing purely imaginary, I really want to create a character, and finally be able to stand by his side.Maybe it was really cruel in the beginning.But there is no way, the leader Zai is such a person, it is all calculations.
