We finished our dinner in peace and quiet, nothing happened during the period.

Well, although I occasionally joked with Fyodor-kun during the meal, but that's not a big deal.

AhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhmIt's a very ordinary, very ordinary communication, no one threatens anyone, and no one speaks harshly, it is very peaceful and friendly.

After dinner, the sky gradually darkened.

Fyodor lights a bottle of scented candles.

The orange candlelight swayed slightly in the evening breeze, and I closed the door of the glass room cooperatively.There is no wind in the airtight space, and not long after, a rich and quiet cedar breath permeated the air.

Tsk, it's hard to say, it's strange to be emotional.

"Now it's like this, the scene in the distance can't be seen very clearly."

Fyodor turned sideways, looking in the direction of Yokohama from a distance through the glass wall.

The sky has completely darkened, and candles are lit in the glass room. It is different from when the sky was still bright. Now, if you want to look far away, it is difficult to see anything clearly except for the neon lights and some landmark buildings.

"Isn't Zhijun worried?"

He turned his head and looked at me.

"Does Fyodor-kun want to hear the truth or lies?"

"It's really cunning, Zhijun." Fyodor smiled lightly, "Of course I want to hear a real answer when I ask this question."

"Well, the 'true answer'...that's actually not worrying at all. "

"Because everything has been arranged in advance?"

"Ah, on the one hand it's because of this."

I nodded and admitted it frankly.

"And it's useless to worry about it now, right? Because I can't intervene anymore, whether it's me or Fyodor-kun."

This is also the limitation written on the "book".

To put it simply, this confrontation between Fyodor-kun and me can be regarded as an impromptu performance in which neither of us knows the other's story, and the theme is "Yokohama Crisis".

Before the performance started, both parties made preparations and arranged the repertoire to be performed on their side.At the same time, we must try our best to speculate on the possible repertoire of the other party, and make corresponding responses.

The ultimate goal, of course, is for one's own side to win.Fyodor-kun's victory was "successful planning", and my victory was "stopping Fyodor-kun".

So it can also be said that if I lose in the end, it will not only be as simple as losing my life, but it will also mean that Yokohama will no longer be stable because of Fyodor-kun's plan.

Don't laugh!

Compared with Yokohama after the success of Fyodor-kun's plan, Yokohama in the past can certainly be called stable.

...Well, anyway, let's call it "stability".

Once Fyodor-kun wins the final victory, he can start from the chaos in Yokohama and continue his ideal of "purifying the world".

It can be said that our impromptu performance, although it is "improvised", is actually quite important.

"Is this also the rule written by Zhijun in the "book"? "

I couldn't help laughing at this question from Fyodor-kun.

"Would Fyodor-kun ask this knowingly?"

"Always make sure." Mr. Fyodor still had a portrayal smile on his face, "After all, I didn't write the rules."

"Liar—" I dragged out the tone, "You guessed it early on, didn't you?"

"Ah!" Mr. Fyodor clapped his hands together excitedly, "If you say that, Mr. Zhi, let's play a game!"

I sort of guessed what the game Fyodor-kun was talking about.

To be honest, from my own point of view, I really want to actively answer "Yes, yes".But seeing Fyodor-kun's excited look, I don't want to satisfy him so quickly.

"At this time, it's not suitable to play games, right?" I leaned on the sofa and took a sip of black tea reservedly, "It would be a pity if I accidentally missed the performance of the wonderful show."

Ah, I should really thank Fyodor-kun.

I didn't mention it before, but in the past few months (under the supervision of Nakaya out of concerns about "Dazai, your health is too bad"), I have insisted on going to bed early and getting up early.Therefore, it can be said that a fairly healthy biological clock has been developed.

This also led to sleepiness gradually coming to me after ten o'clock in the evening.

I'm sure today will be no different and my healthy biological clock will certainly continue to function.But today, Mr. Fyodor and I are going to play until zero o’clock—it’s not good that I fell asleep in the last hour or so, right?

Of course not!

It's not a question of impoliteness, nor is it a question of being embarrassed to sleep in front of Fyodor-kun.

Mainly... Although most of the rules have been written in the "book", who can say that there is no loophole?

Don't talk about others, let's talk about myself. In fact, I took advantage of a small loophole.Based on this inference, it should not be difficult for Mr. Fyodor to take advantage of the loopholes.

If no one is watching him (it's me by name), maybe he will cheat at the last minute of the decision.

Therefore, black tea that can refresh me and keep me from drowsy is very useful.Mr. Fyodor, who made tea for me specially and considerately, is obviously a truly kind person.

Alas, Fyodor-kun is so kind to me, and I don't want to fulfill his little request of "Let's play a game together"-this really makes me feel ashamed!

"Will it affect it?" Fyodor-kun tilted his head and asked with some doubts, "Does it mean that Zhijun's performance is about to start?"

Mr. Fyodor and I looked at each other for two seconds, and in the end I was the first to make a concession.

"Then let's get started."

Think about Fyodor-kun's black tea... Ah, speaking of which, Fyodor-kun actually prepared dinner.So much canned crab meat, awesome!

After going through the above psychological journey, I successfully convinced myself to actively cooperate with Fyodor-kun's game.

It's not that I want to play, I'm just touched by Fyodor-kun's thoughtfulness.

When I think that Mr. Fyodor has done so much for me, just playing a game with Mr. Fyodor, this kind of trivial matter can be said to be a trivial matter, can I not satisfy Mr. Fyodor?

If that's the case, what a bad guy it must be!

I'm not that bad, so it's understandable that I would choose to satisfy Fyodor-kun's desire to play games.

I really don't want to play it myself!

"Let me start then! First question—"

"The "book" is a medium for restricting rules, and it cannot play other functions. "

"Is that right?"

ah--

It's really rude to hit the red heart as soon as it comes up.

"That's right."

"About our "competition" this time, the specific rules have all been written in the "book", because there is no referee!Reluctantly let the "book" do the work. "

Although the "book" is not a perfect judge, it is already the best choice that Fyodor-kun and I can have.

"In other words, Zhijun can't use the "book" to help himself win, right? "

"Yes." I nodded, "Don't worry about that, Mr. Fyodor."

"No one or any existence can intervene in the confrontation between the two of them, not even the "book"—hasn't it already been written in the "book" as one of the rules? "

I can't cheat with "books", and I can't get help from anyone—the duel between me and Fyodor-kun is actually just the two of us.

Well, there are a lot of people involved.For example, Gogol, Chuya, Naomi-chan, Miss Whaleki and Miss Sonohara...

If you really want to talk about it, those "sons of sin songs" who gathered on the streets of Yokohama before can also be counted as "participating in the competition", so the number will be even greater.

But I still want to say that this game is actually just a contest between Mr. Feodor and me.

It's not that I only see Fyodor-kun in my eyes, but our duel is this one.

The flag bearers sitting opposite each other on both sides of the chessboard, the outcome belongs only to each other.

People who appear to be involved—in fact, are only involved—are not really in our game.

It's just a pawn in the struggle between the two sides.

"Okay, it's my turn!"

"I would like to ask Mr. Fyodor, how can we ensure that the thread holding Nikolai will not be disconnected?"

I have been really curious about this question for a long time.

Gogol is obviously not an existence that is easy to control.Why on earth can Mr. Fyodor use Gogol so calmly?

I really want to know the answer.

"Oh, I actually asked this question."

Fyodor-kun sighed helplessly.

"Zhijun really has an unusual attachment to Nikolai."

"Eh? That's not it!" I immediately denied, "I care about Fyodor-kun!"

"I want to know more about Mr. Fyodor, not just about Nikolai, there are many other things..."

I looked at Mr. Fyodor and said in a very solemn tone: "It is my wish at this stage to know more about Mr. Fyodor before saying goodbye to Mr. Fyodor."

Mr. Fyodor raised his eyebrows: "You actually said such a thing..."

"Isn't Zhijun based on the premise that "Fyodor D will disappear from this world in a few hours"? "

"Ah." I covered my mouth exaggeratedly and artificially, "I was discovered!"

"It's too false." Mr. Fyodor sighed, "Are you sure you want to waste the opportunity on this question? No matter how I try to keep Nikolai from getting out of control, this answer is actually not very important to tonight's game What an impact, isn't it?"

Doesn't have much impact... huh?

I'm not too sure about it.

"I'm sure." I smiled back. "Okay, it's your turn to answer, Mr. Fyodor."
