On the second day, Dazai woke up suddenly.With his heart beating uncomfortably, he lifted the quilt and went downstairs a few steps, and saw Hoshino happened to have set up breakfast.

In the morning, there is plenty of light in the room, and the plants in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows stretch their waists wantonly.

"You probably won't wake up until this time, so I just made breakfast." Hoshino took off his apron and smiled at Dazai, "Come and have breakfast after washing up."

Dazai froze for a moment, for some reason, when she appeared in his line of sight, his whole body relaxed.

Very... peace of mind.

He didn't spend much time here in those muddle-headed days, but at this moment, it seemed to be going very smoothly.

However, when Hoshino proposed to see Koyo Ozaki in the morning, Dazai panicked—she wanted to leave here.So under Hoshino's calm gaze, Dazai calmly made up an excuse: Odasaku would bring Sakura and the others to visit in the afternoon.

"That's good. I'll come back early in the afternoon and buy some ingredients. There are too few things in the refrigerator." Then she pursed her lower lip, "Dazai, the human body needs a lot of nutrition, and only storing canned crab meat is not good for the body." Alright. Dazai is already an adult, you have to learn to take good care of yourself and cherish yourself."

The door closed.

Dazai didn't think it was necessary, so he believed his excuse so easily. He immediately called Odasaku to unify the caliber, deal with the plan for this afternoon, and at the same time turned on the monitoring equipment in the room. There was no ripple in the recording, and the time fast forwarded to In the middle of the night, Dazai heard a word.

"Okay...the sooner the better, then tomorrow night, I will go to you. Um...thank you, Ango."

tonight.

Dazai collapsed on the chair, closing his eyes tiredly.What Hoshino said just before leaving the house seemed to have other meanings hidden in it.

Like... goodbye.

Time passed quickly, and in the afternoon, Odasaku and Hoshino appeared at the door together, "We just met when we came back, and everyone wanted to make biscuits, so let's make biscuits this afternoon and make dinner later."

The little girl standing between Odasaku and Hoshino greeted Dazai with a sweet smile, let go of Hoshino's clothes and Odasaku's hand, and threw herself into Dazai's arms. Seeing this, the other children also smiled and embraced Dazai. cluster past.

"Hey, sure enough, children like people like Dazai more." Oda Saku looked at Hoshino, with a slightly sour tone in his tone.Ever since he told the children that he would come here in the afternoon, Saki Le was very happy and couldn't wait.

Laughter instantly animates the room.

Hoshino smiled shallowly, "Is there any other way, Oda, you are always serious, you are not as good as Dazai, you are more popular with girls and children, and, Oda, compared to Dazai, you are really an uncle."

Her eyes followed the one big and one small who were joking.

There will be someone who will always be by Dazai's side, and they are all good children.Even if everyone in the Armed Detective Agency can't accept it for a while, but with Oda around, Dazai will not have any problems.

Undoubtedly, because of their presence, Dazai has become more smiling, and he has more ordinary people's temperament, and the flower shop is also well-organized.

She laughed, and there was nothing she couldn't let go of.

"Let them play there. Since Dazai moved out, Saku Le has rarely seen Dazai, and finally brought her here once." Oda said to Hoshino, "I often come here to see on the way, I can't bring her Smile."

"Well, let's go in and prepare the materials."

Shinji, who slipped into the kitchen from one side, quietly took away a plate of flour, and then there was a lot of laughter in the living room.Hoshino couldn't help laughing, "Oda, go and have a look, they must have blown flour all over the place."

However, as soon as Oda opened the door, he was hit by the trick.

The red hair was covered in flour.

The children headed by Katsumi stood in front of Dazai, smiling and tangle together, wishing to announce to the whole world, "Sakunosuke has been recruited!"

Oda immediately knew that it was Dazai who led the group of little ghosts to design it, and there was no time to escape in such a narrow space as the kitchen. Moreover, because his behavior changed the future direction, Oda's ability could not work in other respects, so he returned He turned his head and said to Hoshino: "I didn't expect Hoshino to like to cooperate with this kind of prank..."

"Is there any other way?" Hoshino covered the prepared filling with plastic wrap and put it aside, she clapped her hands, "Then, everyone, come in and make biscuits now—"

"There's a guest room upstairs, Odasaku, let's go wash it." Dazai looked at his hair, which also occupied the flour, and laughed helplessly, "I originally planned to be Hoshino's, so I should have thought that the person who opened the door would be You, go, I will take you there."

The three adults led a group of children to spend a noisy afternoon. Before leaving, Saku Le reluctantly held the hands of Dazai and Hoshino, "Can you come again?"

"Of course you can." Hoshino knelt down and looked at Saki Le, "Come anytime."

She wished there were always people here, always.When Saku Le hugged Dazai to say goodbye, she slightly clenched her cuffs.

I really want... like this.Fell into his arms and bid him farewell.

Dazai noticed something strange about Hoshino.

After seeing them off, the two tidied up a bit, and Hoshino went back to the room on the excuse that he felt tired.After Hoshino closed the door, Dazai put on his coat, turned out the window, and leaned in front of the door.

The dew gradually wet Dazai's coat, the moon rose into the sky, Dazai yawned, and the night was quiet.

There were small and broken sounds coming from the entrance. If you didn't listen carefully, you might think it was the sound of grass blades being shaken by the wind.

Hoshino gripped the doorknob tightly, opened the door, and suddenly saw Dazai standing in the atrium.

Her face changed slightly for a moment, and then calmed down quickly, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she smiled wryly.

"Dazai... I was thinking just now, if I can't say goodbye, it's a pity that you actually appeared here."

"I know what will happen after you leave." Dazai stood up straight, "I won't let you go."

"Dazai, I stayed...just because of your plan. Now that I know your plan, there is no need to stay. Moreover, in your plan, only one of us must stay." Hoshino Frowning, he said with a wry smile, "And you left me now because of guilt. But, this is my choice."

"Hoshino, Sakule and the others haven't grown up yet."

"Oda can bring them up safely. I trust him, no other excuses are needed...it's useless, Dazai, when we met each other, we were already who we are now, if we had met earlier... "Hoshino shook his head, "But there is nothing that can be changed now." The heart was twitching and beating, suppressing his emotions, Hoshino even calmly made Dazai feel that he was messing around.

The atmosphere in the air suddenly became stiff.

"enough--!"

The sound from the air made Dazai search for the source of the sound. The little girl standing behind Hoshino held a gun in her hand, pointing the gun at Dazai.

"Elizabeth?" Hoshino took a breath, "How could you... Margaret gave it to you?"

However, Elizabeth deliberately ignored Hoshino's words, "If I kill you, Hoshino can leave, right?"

But in Dazai's eyes, there was nothing there, only the voice in the air, "Hoshino..."

"No, Elizabeth, put the gun down!" No one knew Elizabeth better than Hoshino, and they were exactly the same. Once they determined the goal, they must achieve it.

The moment Elizabeth pulled the trigger, Hoshino turned around and stopped in front of Dazai. In a daze, she saw Elizabeth's suddenly pale face.

Gunshots sounded.

Blood splashed on Dazai's body, he hugged the fallen Hoshino in a panic and looked in the direction of the door, "Yo Xieya—come here!"

There seemed to be endless darkness all around.

She struggled twice, felt powerless, and gave up.

So tired, that's all.

It's finally over.

***

Hoshino was suddenly awakened by the falling sensation of her body. She took a deep breath and saw Dazai sitting on the side of the bed.

"Let's talk." Dazai said first, "I've talked with Elizabeth, and I've also talked with everyone in the detective agency."

Hoshino sat up and leaned on the pillow, interrupting him, "I heard Yu Xie also came, it was this afternoon, you and Oda discussed it, the target was Oda, and I deliberately let me hear it, in order to let you Discuss something with Oda without my doubts. It seems that I was really tricked by you again."

"It's...it's not like that." Dazai quickly denied, no matter how eloquent Dazai was, when facing Hoshino, he would only deny like this, "It's not like that, Hoshino, listen to me.

"From the very beginning, when I met you, I thought you were the perfect partner, and in fact, I did.

"Before the age of 16, I knew all the possibilities of the future of this world, and even planned my own plan.

"But, before I met you, Hoshino, I never thought that you would be in my plan...but after fighting the mimic, at the cemetery, I knew we were the same people. It's just that you completed it earlier than me Once the plan is made, there is no need to stay.

"I don't know why, but I want to include you in my plan and want you to stay in this world... From then on, in my plan, you are the one who will take my place in the future.

"I let you get in touch with the expansion plan of the gang, let you understand the strength of the gang, let you know each other with everyone in the gang, let you join the gang, and for my plan, I have to let you live...

"Do you still remember that it snowed that year? The only time it snowed in Yokohama for so many years, I went to look for you at that time, thinking about the chess piece I found so hard, I can't give up, but when I saw you, Just like sitting here now, the mood is very peaceful... so I can't help but come to you for a few days every month, but even at that time, I still come to you with the purpose of training Dun Jun.

"When I was viewing the cherry blossoms this year, I suddenly felt, Hoshino, you should go to the Armed Detective Agency, how could I leave you in the dark.

"I... want you to live, even if it means burdening you with heavy responsibilities, even if it makes you feel painful, but, the detective agency, I know, they will definitely let you know the meaning of doing so.

"So I planned your future willfully. I never thought about whether you would accept it, and you have always followed my wishes."

Dazai couldn't control the trembling of his voice, "...I have used all my feelings for you from the very beginning. To keep you alive, to find you at the cemetery, and to celebrate the New Year with you, to take you to participate in the fireworks The assembly is never clean... You are so smart, you must know it all the time, so you have always refused to join... But that's it, Hoshino, you still stay by my side." He said, the corners of his eyes gradually moistened, "How can a person like me deserve such sacrifice from you.

"So many years... I'm sorry, Hoshino."

"Then what now?" Hoshino raised his head, stared at Dazai's eyes and pressed on step by step, with a sarcastic smile on his lips, "Why do you want me to stay? Or, do you want us to die in love together?"

Then he smiled slyly, "Forget it, I was joking. Listening to what you said, I can tell the truth from the fake, Dazai, if saying these words can make you no longer feel guilty, then your The purpose has been achieved.”

She never talked to him like this, she always hides her true self habitually, making people think that she will never make people worry about her, and she is open to everything.

But now, no.

Dazai pressed Hoshino's shoulder, this is the last chance.

"Hoshino, I can answer this question.

"From the very beginning, I knew that this world is really boring, and I never had any special desire to live, and I even thought about completing the plan as soon as possible and leaving this world as soon as possible

"but…

"I actually met you.

"Hoshino, I added you to the plan temporarily.

"I didn't think there was anything good in this world before, but I have already experienced death once. The world there is the same as here, except without you.

"I still have a lot of questions about living in this world, and I can't explain them, and I can't ignore those questions, but I think those questions are worth discussing with you for a lifetime.

"Didn't you prove to me that as long as you are still living in this world, you can encounter unexpected things and go through a lot of hardships, I believe it now.

"So, wait for me? I've felt your affection, and at some point in the future, I'll respond to you.

"If you really want to die for love, I have a good way."

Dazai looked at Hoshino, "Let's grow old together, there will be neither pain nor regret."

Those words suddenly appeared in Hoshino's ears, as if for so many years, all the grievances of being used and abandoned came to his heart at the same time, Hoshino could hardly control his emotions, tears kept sliding down his face, dripping on the On the hands and on the bed, the crying became louder and louder, and the emotions suddenly rushed out of the guard.

"It's you, obviously it's you, it's you who didn't want me first! It's you! Why did you abandon me? You left me here, why did you abandon me again! Why don't you want me..."

She kept crying, suppressed.

Suddenly fell into a warm embrace.

"I'll never leave you behind, Hoshino.

"We will walk all the way in the future together."

The author has something to say:

Thanks to the readers who are waiting for my update,

I'm really a late procrastinator.For Elizabeth, let me explain.

According to my previous vision, I will switch to Hoshino's perspective after writing Dazai's perspective.Hoshino was saved by the combination, Margaret told Hoshino that this was an agreement reached between Yukino and the combination.Elizabeth's original design will be revealed through the conversation between Hoshino and Elizabeth. She is Chizuru's ability, because Chizuru wants her ability to protect Hoshino too much, so even if she dies, Elizabeth still exists.Elizabeth is also only seen when she touches Hoshino.

...Since everyone wants to see Hoshino and Dazai in the same frame earlier, I will omit this paragraph and write it in a new book in the future.Um.

Happy New Years Eve to everyone in advance!
