Everyone is urging me
Chapter 50 Follow-up
[God]
It wasn't until he got along with Angel for several years that Zhongya Nakahara realized where his unconditional trust in her came from.
Or earlier.
When he found that Angel was emotional or touched him consciously, he could counteract or eliminate the power of Rage God (Huang Ba Tu) in him, so Zhong also guessed that Angel's identity was related to Rage God.
Zhong also confirmed Angel's identity after hearing the ravings that the little girl hadn't realized in her midnight dream.
Angel, who landed next to him once and was clearly a survivor of the explosion, but was dressed far neater than him, actually came to another world here in response to the help of Aragami (sealed or even eliminated by human beings) Aragami.
——Another world or something, sounds incredible, right?
But Chuya, who secretly collected information and inquired carefully from Angel who had lost his memory and power, felt more and more that this was the truth.
Ever since Angel left his life, Zhong also occasionally dreamed of memories that did not belong to him in the middle of the night.
A shrine hidden in the mountains.
The priestess who serves at the side.
The crowd who came to worship.
and most importantly...
The blond god who couldn't see the exact face, but had a gentle aura.
In his dream, he glimpsed the life belonging to the gods.
The revered gods never directly fulfill the wishes of believers, but patiently give them hints, allowing them to earn the happiness hidden around them by themselves.
That is really a selfless and gentle god, and even the priestesses who serve her are as gentle as her.
Freedom without restraint.
Although there is no control, the believers consciously maintain peace.
Just looking at it makes me feel warm.
It's a pity that such a beautiful dream was completely invisible in half a year.
Even since the god's dreams disappeared, his nights were often accompanied by nightmares.
A few years after Angel left, Chuya, who was already a cadre of Mafia at the new port, got all the information of Aragami.
At the moment when he read it and completely destroyed it, Zhong also knew that his guess was right.
It was also at that time that the guilt that could not be relaxed in his heart was relieved by an insignificant point.
"Don't show such a sad expression." When saying goodbye, the girl gave her a final hug.
"I'm just back in my world," she reassured. "It's like an angel back in heaven."
"so……"
"Don't cry and take me home."
Those were the only words that could keep him calm when he woke up countless times from nightmares.
When he restores the truth, this sentence has transformed into the only hope in his heart.
——I hope that Anjie really returns to her world.
It was his sin to drag her into this world.
It was his sin to push her to a dead end.
If it weren't for his existence, the angel would still live a carefree life in her world and be admired by believers.Instead of falling into the mortal world, dedicate yourself to protecting him and helping the cowardly find their courage.
But even so.
Even though he lost the ability to be enthusiastic about others because of Angel's departure, Zhong still works hard to feel the beauty of the world.
Because he will continue to protect it.
He will continue to watch the world she loves and dedicates to.
Along with her share.
"Ding dong."
It is the notification tone for the mobile phone to receive the message.
stranger's.
Today happened to be the first day off the leader gave him.
The long-term task makes Zhong also a little tired.
He took a shower, opened wine, and was about to relax when he heard the news.
Zhong Ye, who has always disliked procrastination, hesitated for less than a second, then got up from the seat, reached out and pressed the phone - after a quick glance, Zhong Ye recognized the person who left the message, who had not seen him for several years and had helped him Boss Sato.
The other party sent a message, asking him to take in a child, the daughter of his dead friend.
Chuya vaguely remembered that when he and An Jie had heard Boss Sato say that his friend's family had a new daughter when they sent Boss Sato away from the new neighborhood.
He also remembered that when Boss Sato was leaving, he had promised the other party that if there was an opportunity for cooperation in the future, he would not refuse.
Maybe he didn't think of it at the beginning, but Nakahara Chuya, who is already a cadre of Mafia at the port, now doesn't know who is behind Boss Sato?
Can be entrusted with the task of rebuilding Saibo Street, and let him and Anjie be misunderstood to get the treasure after leaving... Only important officials who have relations with the government can do it.
So the "friend's orphan" entrusted by Boss Sato may also be the daughter of a government official.
But it's weird.
If this is the case, Boss Sato should not be the adopter he is looking for first.
It stands to reason that it should also be rejected.
Regardless of the reason for the death of the girl's parents, as a member of the gang, I should not take in a child with questionable status. Even if I take a child to Teresa Orphanage, it is a potential threat.
but--
He clicked on reply and sent a sentence of hello.
If An Jie was still there, she would not refuse this request.
So Zhong also agreed.
It was also because he made a promise at the beginning that he would not refuse his "cooperation".
After meeting people and discovering that the girl who was about to be adopted by him had inherited her mother's abilities and became a supernatural being, Zhong also understood Boss Sato's plan.
——He didn't want this girl who got the power to become a knife for the government or other people to kill dissidents.
The child who inherited "Yasha Shirayuki" is still underage, and looks about the same age as Anjie when he died.
She timidly hid behind Boss Sato, her eyes that should have been bright were dead silent, as if the girl could no longer embrace the light when her parents died and she saw Yasha Baixue kill her parents with her own eyes.
"I think you already know why I handed her over to you." Boss Sato sighed, "I don't have supernatural powers, so I don't know how to guide her to control Yasha Baixue, but if I hand her over to the superior, I'm afraid it will hurt her." The child is going to be at this age... In the same way, if I leave her alone and let her go astray, I will be even more sorry for her mother."
"And then I thought of you."
"I can deal with the higher-ups to ensure that her identity and resume will not cause you trouble... If you are still willing to 'cooperate' with me, this child will be handed over to you. I believe you can teach her well, just like It's like teaching the Akutagawa brothers and sisters."
"Aren't you afraid that she will follow me to the port of Mafia like Akutagawa and the others?"
"That is also her choice in the future, and I have no objection."
Zhong was also silent.
He glanced at the girl who seemed to have no interest in the outside world, and finally gave a soft sigh, and did not refuse as he answered before.
"Take her to the orphanage, Teresa will adopt her."
"Her ability, I will teach her how to control it when I have time."
"As long as she is a member of the orphanage, the leader will not touch her mind, I can guarantee that."
"As for the rest—"
Chuya originally wanted to say something, but seeing the girl's expression, he swallowed a little annoyed, "Let's talk about it later."
He took over the girl who didn't say a word. After everything was handed over, Chuya asked Sato, "What's her name? In her state, she probably can't tell me."
Sato gave the girl one last look, and answered in a gentle voice that would not irritate her.
"Mirror flower."
"Quan Jinghua, that's her name."
[partner]
After Angel's death, the children in the orphanage cried for a long time.
The red-haired children she rescued all returned home after the old chief's rule was overthrown.
One or two orphans who had no relatives were adopted into the orphanage by the kind Dean Teresa and became new partners.
Although it was rarely mentioned, the children in the orphanage with a little memory all made up their minds in their hearts because of Angel's death.
——They want to protect the Central Plains.
Even the weak who are protected by him have the determination to protect others.
because……
"That's the last thing we can do for Angel."
The brother and sister acted as "guardians" at the same time.
Now, however, there is only one left.
Angel, known as an angel, is the eternal sun in the hearts of children.
It was she who guided their ideals.
It was she who gave them a glimpse of the outside world when they knew nothing.
It was she who allowed them to choose their own future.
When they learned that Nakahara Chuya led the residents to formally rebel against the old leader in order to avenge Angel, it was the children who pretended to be afraid and sent the wrong message to the enemy.
They may not be the most important link to victory in the struggle, but they are definitely an inseparable part.
Although Zhongyuan Zhong also taught them angrily when he knew this, but when he was relieved that none of them were injured, the children became more determined.
The children didn't know what agreement Chuya Nakahara had reached with the former leader's doctor, the leader of the new port Mafia, but they knew that Chuya Nakahara still worked for Mori Ogai after the struggle ended, and even became a cadre.
Some residents may be puzzled or suspect that he has become greedy, but the children unconditionally support Chuya's choice.
They are very clear about the cruelty of Lei Bo Street.
Therefore, they who have the opportunity to choose will not make the same mistakes as in the past.
The children are gradually approaching the future they want.
Some ran to the aid of their protector, and stood with him in the shadows.
Some walk straight on their own ideal path, approaching the goal with the support of others.
Some even deliberately went to the opposite field of the guardian, just to make up for the unreachable part of the guardian.
Yuxing is just one of the members who successfully realized their ideals.
Incredibly, she became a popular idol.
Just because Angel once said to her jokingly——
"Yuki-chan is so cute, she's perfect for being an idol!"
"What is an idol?"
"A qualified idol is someone who brings joy and hope to people, and shines brightly!"
sparkling with light.
Youxing feels that Angel is her "idol".
So after her death, Yuxing embarked on the difficult road of becoming an idol.
Sing, dance, practice.
For death, training is not terrible.
The girl who was born in the slums finally came to the end of her hardships.
She is one of the lucky few who became a popular idol as she wished, spreading happiness and enthusiasm for more people, and continuing others' hope for life.
The darkness of all professions has been completely broken by the protectors.
She was not unaware.
So she worked harder, trying to be worthy of what others had done for her.
"Silver, do you want to be a special guest at my next concert?"
"Eh? Me?"
"You helped me harmonize the chorus part before, so it's more than enough to be a special guest!"
"Isn't it hard for you to help Akutagawa revise the draft? Come and relax."
"If you put on makeup, no one will recognize you as the editor of 'Xinyuan Sensei'! And no one will associate you with the combat troops of Port Mafia!"
"Don't worry!"
"Well...then, all right."
"It just so happens that my brother's new manuscript has been sorted out, and I have about half a month to spare."
"When it comes to manuscripts, I still think Akutagawa is amazing."
"Shirase told me before that he always likes to write down drafts while doing tasks... It's really hard for Akutagawa to keep the manuscripts clean."
"Ah, after all, most of my brother's inspirations burst out during the battle...but also because of this, he also deliberately opened up a small and stable space with Rashomon to store manuscripts."
"So—that's amazing, Akutagawa."
It's only a few years.
Shirase took over Chuya's subordinates, formally named the organization "Yang", and became the new leader of the gang.
The Akutagawa brothers and sisters followed Nakaya and plunged into the gangsters. One became a direct subordinate of a cadre, and the other was a part-time screenwriter and appointed Black Lizard at the same time.
It was at the time when Yuxing became famous that Akutagawa Ryunosuke published his first short story "Rashomon" under the pseudonym "Shinhara".
The response was great.
Mr. Niihara became Mr. Niihara, and became a hot new star in the Japanese literary world.
After the simple and relaxed girl chatted, Yuxing suddenly faded her smile.
"After the concert, let's go to the beach, and I will call Shirase back."
Akutagawa Gin was stunned for a moment, and quickly understood what she meant.
She nodded and said softly, "I will also inform my brother and Master Chuya...but even if I don't remind them, they won't forget."
Children who benefit from angels will never forget the day when the angels return to heaven.
[weakness]
Blonde hair, blue eyes, well-behaved, and cuteness that won't hurt even if you rub it into your eyes... No, let's get rid of the cuteness, the child should be more self-willed to be happier.
Willful, but must obey his orders at critical moments.
Then comes the fine facial features.
Don't be like that child in this aspect, after all, that child is unique.
--it is good.
It was set up perfectly.
"Open your eyes, Alice~"
He opened his mouth to awaken the doll's false consciousness.
The puppet created with supernatural powers opened its blue eyes, and the first thing it saw was its creator.
The doll, who is as cute as the girl in the creator’s impression, made an angry expression, and angrily hammered him according to the personality set by the creator, “Rin Taro is too much! I have Alice, and I still think about her. girl!"
"Alice-chan, don't be angry, that child is your 'sister', don't be jealous about it."
The gentle and patient tone made it hard for his subordinates to believe that this was their new leader.
But of course.
This group of people couldn't even hear the warning and threat contained in this gentle sentence.
——Even if it is a setting that I personally made, I can't be rude to "that child".
The puppet who shared the creator's mind immediately corrected its expression.
But soon, Alice returned to her disgusted attitude, and skillfully raised her request in a voice so cute that Mori Ogai blushed.
It's just that after this time, she will never take the initiative to mention her "sister" again.
Time flies so fast.
From Angel's death to the assassination of the old leader by the people.
The cadres at the port Mafia discovered that the letter written by the old leader said "pass the position of leader to his own doctor Mori Ogai", and Nakahara Nakaya and the cadre Ozaki Koyo, who jointly avenged Mori Ogai, succeeded in taking the position .
It's only a month before and after.
To be honest, Angel's death accounted for most of the credit for Mori Ogai's ascension to the position so smoothly.
She said goodbye to him before his execution.
At that time Angel said that she could not give others salvation, she could only give them the courage to fight against injustice.
— as she said.
Her death ignited the people of Leibo Street to rebel against the port of Mafia, and personally destroyed their old leader of Angels, which was resisted by the angry people.
With the help of Gravity, the old leader died under the scolding of everyone.
Just a little control of public opinion, Mori Ogai was pushed to the position of leader under the impatient attitude of the flustered Mafia members at the port.
Even the forged letter, no one had a chance to verify it.
But at the same time, Mori Ogai felt that Angel was wrong.
Not only did she teach resistance, but she also gave those people redemption—the moment she insisted on reaching out to others despite their prudence to protect themselves.
Mori Ogai once said that time will take away everything and blur everything.
Now he felt he was dead wrong.
Time has precipitated many things, and many emotions that were not so clear before have become clear with the accumulation of day after day, making it difficult for people to ignore or lie to themselves.
Of course, for Mori Ogai, these emotions did not affect his manipulation of the port of Mafia and the establishment of the order he had long wanted to establish.
He carried out the optimal solution approved by Angel.
He separates his emotions from his reason, and becomes the brain and tool of the organization.
Then in a certain year, he hit a bottleneck.
Mori Ogai needed a legitimate opportunity to expand.
He aimed at the Ability Opening Permit issued by the Ability Secret Service.
At that time, he noticed the smuggling of a certain organization.
This is an opportunity delivered to your door.
He chose to let it go deliberately, waiting for the hidden danger to erupt.
Mori Ogai's waiting is valuable.
Only a few lives were exchanged for what he wanted.
The only trouble...
A belated rebellion from his uneasy "disciple (accomplice)".
Dazai Osamu, who mistakenly thought that his friend was abandoned by the organization and was about to die, confronted him (the leader) and wanted to violate the order to prevent his friend from attending the meeting.
"Dazai!"
Mori Ogai's tone was undisguisedly severe.
The guards in black dared not speak in this atmosphere, but because of the leader's previous order, they still stretched out their guns when the boy was about to leave the room and aimed at the boy's vitals.
Osamu Dazai, who was threatened with his life, was expressionless and didn't even look back, "What? You didn't hide it from me on purpose, do you still want to stop me at this time?"
In the confrontation between the two, Mori Ogai finally sighed and waved his hands.
The muzzle is pressed down, and the crisis is resolved.
Osamu Dazai left the office without looking back.
Mori Ogai let the group of men in black leave together, and then turned the chair to face the special French window.
The blond girl appeared next to him, and the supernatural product whose personality was completely filled reached out and grabbed Mori Ogai's sleeve, and looked at the city outside the window with him.
Then she asked his creator in a barely audible voice.
"Why not tell him the 'truth'?"
"The result is the same."
The little girl snorted in disbelief, and continued to ask not to be outdone.
"Are you really worried about him leaving?"
Mori Ogai did not answer directly.
He was silent for a while, and then talked about the past like a memory.
"Alice-chan." The man who was firmly seated as the leader smiled, "Dazai is the only one among us who witnessed An Jie's death, right?"
Alice was noncommittal.
But this is the most obvious problem.
So he didn't need Alice's answer either.
"no need to worry."
Mori Ogai reached out and pressed the envelope on the table, as if he had seen the future, "He who has lost it once before he understands it, how can he have the courage to face losing it again?"
"He won't do anything."
"He dared not do anything."
So asserts the winner who counts all.
The child's car accident was faked.
Those corpses burned by the fire were orphans in the slums who died of disease.
Oda's serious injury is real.
It's just that outside the decisive battlefield, Mori Ogai has already prepared an emergency doctor who has been notified by other identities to be on call and deal with the corresponding situation.
Osamu Dazai, who has experienced loss and regained it again, will not have the courage to fight him to the end.
Everyone, even Mimic who worked with him, was played and applauded by him.
Alice turned her gaze to Mori Ogai, neither refuting nor echoing.
It's just that after Mori Ogai noticed her abnormality and looked over, the little girl who is essentially a supernatural power and has no real self-thoughts met the creator's eyes.
The little girl pursed her lips indistinctly, as if she was feeling emotional, but also like teasing.
"You deliberately mentioned her because you were also influenced by her."
Deliberately and thanklessly made various countermeasures, just to make Dazai dare not fight him desperately.
This kind of design is laborious and does not get additional benefits. It is not a decision that the original Mori Ogai would make.
She saw Mori Ogai put his index finger to his lips.
"—shh."
He frowned, looking gentle.
But the ability that connects with him knows that the girl who did not accept his protection and went to the meeting knowingly that she would die is a real existence that he does not want to admit in his heart.
"That child is naturally special. I can sit here, which is the only opportunity created by that child."
As the leader, the young man is the embodiment of reason.
But for the little girl he sacrificed, he reserved an insignificant but crucial kindness, the kindness that a person who claims to put interests first should not have.
fatal?
of course not.
Because the child who can influence his decision will never come back.
"This time is a special case."
"After all, An Jie died in order to protect others."
Mori Ogai didn't care about the children and low-level personnel who were put on the scale as chips, but if Angel was still there, he would definitely not allow it.
That kid was too kind.
I absolutely don't want to see children younger than her sacrifice for the benefit.
...However, this is not the first time he has been obsequious to her.
and so--
This is his only and last soft heart.
It can also be regarded as his memory and gratitude to Angel who pushed him to become the leader with his life.
"It's almost here."
Immediately, when everything is recovering, it is a season suitable for commemoration.
Mori Ogai, who glanced at something beside him, put away the envelope, and showed Alice a silly father-like expression again.
"Go and see her in two days."
"How about giving gardenias instead this time? I remember that child likes white the most, and once hung gardenias all over my clinic... But Lily of the Valley is also good, and she likes it too."
"Most people don't bring these two kinds of flowers with them when they go there."
"But Anjie likes it."
Alice made a gesture of surrender and let him go.
If you deviate your gaze to the side, you can see that in addition to some office supplies, there is also a simple desk calendar on the desktop - not long after, someone drew a circle with a red pen.
There are no other remarks, but it is the only mark on the entire desk calendar.
This is his dark but undisguised secret.
It was the proof that he had raised a certain child sincerely, but under his own insistence, acquiesced that she would leave him forever.
——It was the anniversary of Angel's death.
[world]
Children who are too smart will always feel the filth of this world prematurely.
When the world in the child's eyes fades from colorful to black and white, all things that should arouse the child's interest lose the value of being explored by him.
Osamu Dazai is the one who is too smart.
Maybe it is really favored by some strange consciousness.
A head so clever that the family members fear it, a sharpness so sharp that it is easy to tell people's hearts, and a nullification ability that is not blinded by everything else.
What all piled up is Dazai's disappointment in this world.
Children who see through the world prematurely do not understand the reason for their own existence.
Is it caused by being too calm?
But the eight-year-old thought so.
So he ran away from home without hesitation, and deliberately went to Yokohama, a place of chaos recognized throughout Japan.
He joins the gang, looking for something that is not found in the daily life in blood and violence.
But he was disappointed.
No.
Not here.
That didn't work either.
So he understood.
It turned out that no matter where he was, what he saw was the same.
——What he saw was the same ignorant and unknowing people.
So it's better to die than to live aimlessly, right?
Such thoughts took root in his heart.
He began to look for a way to leave the world without pain.
Until the age of nine, he met the angel of the new neighborhood.
Let's agree with the title of "angel".
At least she didn't pretend to be nice to him to satisfy her desire to save.
Poor acting, impatient with him, likes to threaten him with Akutagawa and slugs, foolishly trusting people around him, too soft-hearted, taught her to use a gun for more than a week before learning how to hit the target... Can Osamu Dazai say Her various flaws.
but--
He knew her shortcomings, but still let her approach.
why?
Probably she is the only one who still chooses to believe him knowing that he is deceiving her.
is a fool.
A fool he could tease, bear with.
Even if he meets new friends in the future, he is an idiot that he will never forget.
When chatting with friends who escaped from serious injuries, they inevitably talked about Angel.
With Dazai's wisdom, it is not difficult to guess the truth.
Mori Ogai's sudden "kindness" can only be influenced by Angel - this is a very strange feeling, which made Dazai and his friend Oda, who were originally relaxed, silent together tacitly, and then turned to talk about other things.
Because while they were good friends with each other, they also made good friends with Angel.
He suddenly thought of the day Angel died.
Osamu Dazai was the only one who witnessed Angel's death among the people who had good friends with Angel.
Dazai doesn't quite remember whether he followed the send-off team out of some unspeakable psychology, or whether he passed by by accident and got trapped in the crowd and couldn't leave.
But he still clearly remembered Angel's face, and how she looked before she saw him.
There is no despair in the face of dead end, let alone sadness.
She is so calm.
It was so peaceful that it was like going out for a walk, and then found a place worth stopping and admiring.
The girl stood where she was, but her eyes seemed to look beyond the city and saw the vast sea outside.
Then she said, "Go ahead."
He quietly waited for his own death.
Like an angel who accidentally fell into the mortal world, he is about to return to the sky at this moment.
It was also at this time that she discovered his existence.
After a brief surprise, the girl who was a few years younger than him showed an apologetic expression mixed with annoyance.
She opened her lips, but did not make any syllables.
But Dazai saw what she was trying to say.
It was also when he saw that sentence that his usual indifferent expression was stained with surprise.
He realized that his heart stopped for less than two seconds, and then speeded up involuntarily.
Because of what she said to him——
"Good night."
It's not an apology for letting friends witness this scene, nor is it an unexpected surprise.
Accompanied by gunshots and splashed blood, at the end of her life, the girl tenderly left a good night to her little friend.
It seems that in this way, the shadows that ordinary people will have when they see this scene can be dispelled.
It seemed like this could make him believe this white lie, and let him admit that she was not dead, but simply fell asleep.
He used to be indifferent to such "goodwill", because he knew the reality of this world better than anyone else.
until--
Now many years later.
After Angel's death, Osamu Dazai was jealous, even envious of her for a long time.
Jealous of her easily getting what he wanted, envious of her achieving the long sleep he dreamed of.
But when the boy almost lost his recognized friend, his heartbeat accelerated as he ran, and the boy suddenly realized why the palpitations that appeared and disappeared instantly after seeing the girl calmly closed her eyes.
Because before he realized it, the young man witnessed with his own eyes that the light within reach was extinguished forever before his eyes.
Is it a pity?
Regret?
That's not an emotion he would have.
So he always silently gives a "no" answer.
In the blink of an eye, Yokohama has become more and more prosperous as Angel wished.
Along the coast of Yokohama, apart from the necessary piers, there are many other facilities built by the sea.
Angel's tombstone is nearby.
That was her favorite place in Yokohama, and it was the only thing she missed when she closed her eyes.
"Mr. Dazai?" The white-haired boy Atsushi Nakajima saw the senior of the detective agency in a khaki windbreaker stop somewhere by the sea, and asked hesitantly, "...is this?"
"Ah, today belongs to that child..." The red-haired youth following behind looked at the cemetery, belatedly realizing, "Mr. Nakajima, this is a new cemetery built a few years ago."
The red-haired young man, Sakunosuke Oda, is explaining to the juniors on behalf of his friends.
"The child...?" Atsushi Nakajima knew that it was not good to ask about such things, so when he said this, his voice was very soft, and he just asked unconsciously.
But his words were clearly heard by the other two.
"It's my 'childhood sweetheart'!"
"Mr. Dazai actually has such a relationship?!"
The subconsciously surprised boy stared at him, but quickly covered his mouth, fearing that he would slip up.
"It's okay." Seeing that he was so careful, Oda Sakunosuke patted the boy's shoulder reassuringly, "Dazai, and her...don't care."
But he stopped outside the iron fence of the cemetery, and stopped the young man, "Let Dazai go."
Atsushi Nakajima stopped obediently, but he intuitively looked at the young man who had already entered the cemetery.
Because his back was facing him, the teenager couldn't see the other person's expression clearly.
But the young man with strong intuition can feel from a distance, the atmosphere around this senior who is always teasing and always out of tune in his eyes?Aura?Calm and gentle after stepping into the cemetery.
He saw the young man standing in front of a certain tombstone.
The tombstone was too far away, and Atsushi Nakajima couldn't read the writing on the stone slab clearly, but he could vaguely see a circle of white flowers that are common in tomb sweepers around the tombstone, and on the tombstone hung two bunches of gardenia and lily of the valley .
And now, under the tombstone farthest from the two bunches of flowers, another lily has been added.
...I don't know where Mr. Dazai hid this flower just now.
The boy thought to himself.
"That child is a very good person." Although Nakajima Atsushi didn't ask, Oda Sakunosuke took the initiative to speak when he saw Dazai squatting down, "The people buried in this cemetery are all those who were killed by the previous Mafia leader of the port. Most of them did not leave their names and died in that chaotic period."
"...The young lady Mr. Dazai paid homage to, too?"
"Yeah." Oda replied, and smiled vaguely, "but she is also the one who ended all of this, so it's not an exaggeration to say that she is deeply loved."
"Is it the same with Oda-san and Dazai-san?"
"My word...'grateful' might be more accurate."
"As for Dazai..." Oda withdrew his gaze, "Probably belatedly realized that I treat her... Forget it. Talking about this kind of thing still requires my own consent."
Atsushi Nakajima just nodded ignorantly to Oda's behavior of stopping in the middle of speaking.
Dazai, who had finished presenting flowers, did not leave immediately.
He first told the girl's tombstone about the shortcomings of his former boss, and then ridiculed that the flowers sent by the other party were too casual and not suitable for him. Finally, he looked at Angel's tombstone in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
But within ten seconds, Dazai came back to his senses.
He raised a lively smile that he had already mastered, and raised his hand to touch the cold stone tablet.
"Did I say that you would never be able to fool me in your life?"
"I take that back now."
The young man half-closed his eyes, and his tone of voice was gentle that few people were lucky enough to hear.
"you succeeded."
"Although I gave you water to let you win."
He fell silent again.
The shadow created when he bowed his head made it difficult to see his current expression clearly.
"Good night."
He responded to the other party several years late, acquiescing to the illusory but well-intentioned lies that the other party had given him.
It was the only lie he believed.
"Have a good dream."
[real name]
According to legend, there is a book in Yokohama that can grant all wishes.
It has no name.
Even the recorded legends only say that the "book" is a "blank novel".
Fortunately, Osamu Dazai of this world got this "book".
Osamu Dazai, who has disqualification in the world, is not affected by the book, and can easily see the development of other worlds and his own experience through the blank pages of the book.
——Every Osamu Dazai faced loss.
They both lost their friend named Sakunosuke Oda in the same incident.
There is only one difference.
That self successfully rescued his friend, but he did not escape the nightmare of loss.
That is the self who met the "angel".
Osamu Dazai, who owns the "book", took the initiative and found the most suitable opportunity to force Mori Ogai to abdicate, and became the youngest and newest leader of the port Mafia himself.
He has grown the organization better than any in the world.
At the same time, in order not to lose, he took the initiative to send Oda, who was supposed to be a friend, to the bright side.
The more he sees another world, the more Jae Jae understands the source of his pain.
He originally planned to continue his "ideal", entrust the "book" to the younger generation, and then pursue eternal peace.
But one day, the new content in the "book" made him temporarily give up this plan.
——That was a conversation that made him interested in "angels".
The angel named Angel did not disappear after death.
The leader Jae saw her in another form, living in a world he had never seen before, without supernatural powers.
He saw the book spirit who remained unchanged by the girl's side, and also saw
It wasn't until he got along with Angel for several years that Zhongya Nakahara realized where his unconditional trust in her came from.
Or earlier.
When he found that Angel was emotional or touched him consciously, he could counteract or eliminate the power of Rage God (Huang Ba Tu) in him, so Zhong also guessed that Angel's identity was related to Rage God.
Zhong also confirmed Angel's identity after hearing the ravings that the little girl hadn't realized in her midnight dream.
Angel, who landed next to him once and was clearly a survivor of the explosion, but was dressed far neater than him, actually came to another world here in response to the help of Aragami (sealed or even eliminated by human beings) Aragami.
——Another world or something, sounds incredible, right?
But Chuya, who secretly collected information and inquired carefully from Angel who had lost his memory and power, felt more and more that this was the truth.
Ever since Angel left his life, Zhong also occasionally dreamed of memories that did not belong to him in the middle of the night.
A shrine hidden in the mountains.
The priestess who serves at the side.
The crowd who came to worship.
and most importantly...
The blond god who couldn't see the exact face, but had a gentle aura.
In his dream, he glimpsed the life belonging to the gods.
The revered gods never directly fulfill the wishes of believers, but patiently give them hints, allowing them to earn the happiness hidden around them by themselves.
That is really a selfless and gentle god, and even the priestesses who serve her are as gentle as her.
Freedom without restraint.
Although there is no control, the believers consciously maintain peace.
Just looking at it makes me feel warm.
It's a pity that such a beautiful dream was completely invisible in half a year.
Even since the god's dreams disappeared, his nights were often accompanied by nightmares.
A few years after Angel left, Chuya, who was already a cadre of Mafia at the new port, got all the information of Aragami.
At the moment when he read it and completely destroyed it, Zhong also knew that his guess was right.
It was also at that time that the guilt that could not be relaxed in his heart was relieved by an insignificant point.
"Don't show such a sad expression." When saying goodbye, the girl gave her a final hug.
"I'm just back in my world," she reassured. "It's like an angel back in heaven."
"so……"
"Don't cry and take me home."
Those were the only words that could keep him calm when he woke up countless times from nightmares.
When he restores the truth, this sentence has transformed into the only hope in his heart.
——I hope that Anjie really returns to her world.
It was his sin to drag her into this world.
It was his sin to push her to a dead end.
If it weren't for his existence, the angel would still live a carefree life in her world and be admired by believers.Instead of falling into the mortal world, dedicate yourself to protecting him and helping the cowardly find their courage.
But even so.
Even though he lost the ability to be enthusiastic about others because of Angel's departure, Zhong still works hard to feel the beauty of the world.
Because he will continue to protect it.
He will continue to watch the world she loves and dedicates to.
Along with her share.
"Ding dong."
It is the notification tone for the mobile phone to receive the message.
stranger's.
Today happened to be the first day off the leader gave him.
The long-term task makes Zhong also a little tired.
He took a shower, opened wine, and was about to relax when he heard the news.
Zhong Ye, who has always disliked procrastination, hesitated for less than a second, then got up from the seat, reached out and pressed the phone - after a quick glance, Zhong Ye recognized the person who left the message, who had not seen him for several years and had helped him Boss Sato.
The other party sent a message, asking him to take in a child, the daughter of his dead friend.
Chuya vaguely remembered that when he and An Jie had heard Boss Sato say that his friend's family had a new daughter when they sent Boss Sato away from the new neighborhood.
He also remembered that when Boss Sato was leaving, he had promised the other party that if there was an opportunity for cooperation in the future, he would not refuse.
Maybe he didn't think of it at the beginning, but Nakahara Chuya, who is already a cadre of Mafia at the port, now doesn't know who is behind Boss Sato?
Can be entrusted with the task of rebuilding Saibo Street, and let him and Anjie be misunderstood to get the treasure after leaving... Only important officials who have relations with the government can do it.
So the "friend's orphan" entrusted by Boss Sato may also be the daughter of a government official.
But it's weird.
If this is the case, Boss Sato should not be the adopter he is looking for first.
It stands to reason that it should also be rejected.
Regardless of the reason for the death of the girl's parents, as a member of the gang, I should not take in a child with questionable status. Even if I take a child to Teresa Orphanage, it is a potential threat.
but--
He clicked on reply and sent a sentence of hello.
If An Jie was still there, she would not refuse this request.
So Zhong also agreed.
It was also because he made a promise at the beginning that he would not refuse his "cooperation".
After meeting people and discovering that the girl who was about to be adopted by him had inherited her mother's abilities and became a supernatural being, Zhong also understood Boss Sato's plan.
——He didn't want this girl who got the power to become a knife for the government or other people to kill dissidents.
The child who inherited "Yasha Shirayuki" is still underage, and looks about the same age as Anjie when he died.
She timidly hid behind Boss Sato, her eyes that should have been bright were dead silent, as if the girl could no longer embrace the light when her parents died and she saw Yasha Baixue kill her parents with her own eyes.
"I think you already know why I handed her over to you." Boss Sato sighed, "I don't have supernatural powers, so I don't know how to guide her to control Yasha Baixue, but if I hand her over to the superior, I'm afraid it will hurt her." The child is going to be at this age... In the same way, if I leave her alone and let her go astray, I will be even more sorry for her mother."
"And then I thought of you."
"I can deal with the higher-ups to ensure that her identity and resume will not cause you trouble... If you are still willing to 'cooperate' with me, this child will be handed over to you. I believe you can teach her well, just like It's like teaching the Akutagawa brothers and sisters."
"Aren't you afraid that she will follow me to the port of Mafia like Akutagawa and the others?"
"That is also her choice in the future, and I have no objection."
Zhong was also silent.
He glanced at the girl who seemed to have no interest in the outside world, and finally gave a soft sigh, and did not refuse as he answered before.
"Take her to the orphanage, Teresa will adopt her."
"Her ability, I will teach her how to control it when I have time."
"As long as she is a member of the orphanage, the leader will not touch her mind, I can guarantee that."
"As for the rest—"
Chuya originally wanted to say something, but seeing the girl's expression, he swallowed a little annoyed, "Let's talk about it later."
He took over the girl who didn't say a word. After everything was handed over, Chuya asked Sato, "What's her name? In her state, she probably can't tell me."
Sato gave the girl one last look, and answered in a gentle voice that would not irritate her.
"Mirror flower."
"Quan Jinghua, that's her name."
[partner]
After Angel's death, the children in the orphanage cried for a long time.
The red-haired children she rescued all returned home after the old chief's rule was overthrown.
One or two orphans who had no relatives were adopted into the orphanage by the kind Dean Teresa and became new partners.
Although it was rarely mentioned, the children in the orphanage with a little memory all made up their minds in their hearts because of Angel's death.
——They want to protect the Central Plains.
Even the weak who are protected by him have the determination to protect others.
because……
"That's the last thing we can do for Angel."
The brother and sister acted as "guardians" at the same time.
Now, however, there is only one left.
Angel, known as an angel, is the eternal sun in the hearts of children.
It was she who guided their ideals.
It was she who gave them a glimpse of the outside world when they knew nothing.
It was she who allowed them to choose their own future.
When they learned that Nakahara Chuya led the residents to formally rebel against the old leader in order to avenge Angel, it was the children who pretended to be afraid and sent the wrong message to the enemy.
They may not be the most important link to victory in the struggle, but they are definitely an inseparable part.
Although Zhongyuan Zhong also taught them angrily when he knew this, but when he was relieved that none of them were injured, the children became more determined.
The children didn't know what agreement Chuya Nakahara had reached with the former leader's doctor, the leader of the new port Mafia, but they knew that Chuya Nakahara still worked for Mori Ogai after the struggle ended, and even became a cadre.
Some residents may be puzzled or suspect that he has become greedy, but the children unconditionally support Chuya's choice.
They are very clear about the cruelty of Lei Bo Street.
Therefore, they who have the opportunity to choose will not make the same mistakes as in the past.
The children are gradually approaching the future they want.
Some ran to the aid of their protector, and stood with him in the shadows.
Some walk straight on their own ideal path, approaching the goal with the support of others.
Some even deliberately went to the opposite field of the guardian, just to make up for the unreachable part of the guardian.
Yuxing is just one of the members who successfully realized their ideals.
Incredibly, she became a popular idol.
Just because Angel once said to her jokingly——
"Yuki-chan is so cute, she's perfect for being an idol!"
"What is an idol?"
"A qualified idol is someone who brings joy and hope to people, and shines brightly!"
sparkling with light.
Youxing feels that Angel is her "idol".
So after her death, Yuxing embarked on the difficult road of becoming an idol.
Sing, dance, practice.
For death, training is not terrible.
The girl who was born in the slums finally came to the end of her hardships.
She is one of the lucky few who became a popular idol as she wished, spreading happiness and enthusiasm for more people, and continuing others' hope for life.
The darkness of all professions has been completely broken by the protectors.
She was not unaware.
So she worked harder, trying to be worthy of what others had done for her.
"Silver, do you want to be a special guest at my next concert?"
"Eh? Me?"
"You helped me harmonize the chorus part before, so it's more than enough to be a special guest!"
"Isn't it hard for you to help Akutagawa revise the draft? Come and relax."
"If you put on makeup, no one will recognize you as the editor of 'Xinyuan Sensei'! And no one will associate you with the combat troops of Port Mafia!"
"Don't worry!"
"Well...then, all right."
"It just so happens that my brother's new manuscript has been sorted out, and I have about half a month to spare."
"When it comes to manuscripts, I still think Akutagawa is amazing."
"Shirase told me before that he always likes to write down drafts while doing tasks... It's really hard for Akutagawa to keep the manuscripts clean."
"Ah, after all, most of my brother's inspirations burst out during the battle...but also because of this, he also deliberately opened up a small and stable space with Rashomon to store manuscripts."
"So—that's amazing, Akutagawa."
It's only a few years.
Shirase took over Chuya's subordinates, formally named the organization "Yang", and became the new leader of the gang.
The Akutagawa brothers and sisters followed Nakaya and plunged into the gangsters. One became a direct subordinate of a cadre, and the other was a part-time screenwriter and appointed Black Lizard at the same time.
It was at the time when Yuxing became famous that Akutagawa Ryunosuke published his first short story "Rashomon" under the pseudonym "Shinhara".
The response was great.
Mr. Niihara became Mr. Niihara, and became a hot new star in the Japanese literary world.
After the simple and relaxed girl chatted, Yuxing suddenly faded her smile.
"After the concert, let's go to the beach, and I will call Shirase back."
Akutagawa Gin was stunned for a moment, and quickly understood what she meant.
She nodded and said softly, "I will also inform my brother and Master Chuya...but even if I don't remind them, they won't forget."
Children who benefit from angels will never forget the day when the angels return to heaven.
[weakness]
Blonde hair, blue eyes, well-behaved, and cuteness that won't hurt even if you rub it into your eyes... No, let's get rid of the cuteness, the child should be more self-willed to be happier.
Willful, but must obey his orders at critical moments.
Then comes the fine facial features.
Don't be like that child in this aspect, after all, that child is unique.
--it is good.
It was set up perfectly.
"Open your eyes, Alice~"
He opened his mouth to awaken the doll's false consciousness.
The puppet created with supernatural powers opened its blue eyes, and the first thing it saw was its creator.
The doll, who is as cute as the girl in the creator’s impression, made an angry expression, and angrily hammered him according to the personality set by the creator, “Rin Taro is too much! I have Alice, and I still think about her. girl!"
"Alice-chan, don't be angry, that child is your 'sister', don't be jealous about it."
The gentle and patient tone made it hard for his subordinates to believe that this was their new leader.
But of course.
This group of people couldn't even hear the warning and threat contained in this gentle sentence.
——Even if it is a setting that I personally made, I can't be rude to "that child".
The puppet who shared the creator's mind immediately corrected its expression.
But soon, Alice returned to her disgusted attitude, and skillfully raised her request in a voice so cute that Mori Ogai blushed.
It's just that after this time, she will never take the initiative to mention her "sister" again.
Time flies so fast.
From Angel's death to the assassination of the old leader by the people.
The cadres at the port Mafia discovered that the letter written by the old leader said "pass the position of leader to his own doctor Mori Ogai", and Nakahara Nakaya and the cadre Ozaki Koyo, who jointly avenged Mori Ogai, succeeded in taking the position .
It's only a month before and after.
To be honest, Angel's death accounted for most of the credit for Mori Ogai's ascension to the position so smoothly.
She said goodbye to him before his execution.
At that time Angel said that she could not give others salvation, she could only give them the courage to fight against injustice.
— as she said.
Her death ignited the people of Leibo Street to rebel against the port of Mafia, and personally destroyed their old leader of Angels, which was resisted by the angry people.
With the help of Gravity, the old leader died under the scolding of everyone.
Just a little control of public opinion, Mori Ogai was pushed to the position of leader under the impatient attitude of the flustered Mafia members at the port.
Even the forged letter, no one had a chance to verify it.
But at the same time, Mori Ogai felt that Angel was wrong.
Not only did she teach resistance, but she also gave those people redemption—the moment she insisted on reaching out to others despite their prudence to protect themselves.
Mori Ogai once said that time will take away everything and blur everything.
Now he felt he was dead wrong.
Time has precipitated many things, and many emotions that were not so clear before have become clear with the accumulation of day after day, making it difficult for people to ignore or lie to themselves.
Of course, for Mori Ogai, these emotions did not affect his manipulation of the port of Mafia and the establishment of the order he had long wanted to establish.
He carried out the optimal solution approved by Angel.
He separates his emotions from his reason, and becomes the brain and tool of the organization.
Then in a certain year, he hit a bottleneck.
Mori Ogai needed a legitimate opportunity to expand.
He aimed at the Ability Opening Permit issued by the Ability Secret Service.
At that time, he noticed the smuggling of a certain organization.
This is an opportunity delivered to your door.
He chose to let it go deliberately, waiting for the hidden danger to erupt.
Mori Ogai's waiting is valuable.
Only a few lives were exchanged for what he wanted.
The only trouble...
A belated rebellion from his uneasy "disciple (accomplice)".
Dazai Osamu, who mistakenly thought that his friend was abandoned by the organization and was about to die, confronted him (the leader) and wanted to violate the order to prevent his friend from attending the meeting.
"Dazai!"
Mori Ogai's tone was undisguisedly severe.
The guards in black dared not speak in this atmosphere, but because of the leader's previous order, they still stretched out their guns when the boy was about to leave the room and aimed at the boy's vitals.
Osamu Dazai, who was threatened with his life, was expressionless and didn't even look back, "What? You didn't hide it from me on purpose, do you still want to stop me at this time?"
In the confrontation between the two, Mori Ogai finally sighed and waved his hands.
The muzzle is pressed down, and the crisis is resolved.
Osamu Dazai left the office without looking back.
Mori Ogai let the group of men in black leave together, and then turned the chair to face the special French window.
The blond girl appeared next to him, and the supernatural product whose personality was completely filled reached out and grabbed Mori Ogai's sleeve, and looked at the city outside the window with him.
Then she asked his creator in a barely audible voice.
"Why not tell him the 'truth'?"
"The result is the same."
The little girl snorted in disbelief, and continued to ask not to be outdone.
"Are you really worried about him leaving?"
Mori Ogai did not answer directly.
He was silent for a while, and then talked about the past like a memory.
"Alice-chan." The man who was firmly seated as the leader smiled, "Dazai is the only one among us who witnessed An Jie's death, right?"
Alice was noncommittal.
But this is the most obvious problem.
So he didn't need Alice's answer either.
"no need to worry."
Mori Ogai reached out and pressed the envelope on the table, as if he had seen the future, "He who has lost it once before he understands it, how can he have the courage to face losing it again?"
"He won't do anything."
"He dared not do anything."
So asserts the winner who counts all.
The child's car accident was faked.
Those corpses burned by the fire were orphans in the slums who died of disease.
Oda's serious injury is real.
It's just that outside the decisive battlefield, Mori Ogai has already prepared an emergency doctor who has been notified by other identities to be on call and deal with the corresponding situation.
Osamu Dazai, who has experienced loss and regained it again, will not have the courage to fight him to the end.
Everyone, even Mimic who worked with him, was played and applauded by him.
Alice turned her gaze to Mori Ogai, neither refuting nor echoing.
It's just that after Mori Ogai noticed her abnormality and looked over, the little girl who is essentially a supernatural power and has no real self-thoughts met the creator's eyes.
The little girl pursed her lips indistinctly, as if she was feeling emotional, but also like teasing.
"You deliberately mentioned her because you were also influenced by her."
Deliberately and thanklessly made various countermeasures, just to make Dazai dare not fight him desperately.
This kind of design is laborious and does not get additional benefits. It is not a decision that the original Mori Ogai would make.
She saw Mori Ogai put his index finger to his lips.
"—shh."
He frowned, looking gentle.
But the ability that connects with him knows that the girl who did not accept his protection and went to the meeting knowingly that she would die is a real existence that he does not want to admit in his heart.
"That child is naturally special. I can sit here, which is the only opportunity created by that child."
As the leader, the young man is the embodiment of reason.
But for the little girl he sacrificed, he reserved an insignificant but crucial kindness, the kindness that a person who claims to put interests first should not have.
fatal?
of course not.
Because the child who can influence his decision will never come back.
"This time is a special case."
"After all, An Jie died in order to protect others."
Mori Ogai didn't care about the children and low-level personnel who were put on the scale as chips, but if Angel was still there, he would definitely not allow it.
That kid was too kind.
I absolutely don't want to see children younger than her sacrifice for the benefit.
...However, this is not the first time he has been obsequious to her.
and so--
This is his only and last soft heart.
It can also be regarded as his memory and gratitude to Angel who pushed him to become the leader with his life.
"It's almost here."
Immediately, when everything is recovering, it is a season suitable for commemoration.
Mori Ogai, who glanced at something beside him, put away the envelope, and showed Alice a silly father-like expression again.
"Go and see her in two days."
"How about giving gardenias instead this time? I remember that child likes white the most, and once hung gardenias all over my clinic... But Lily of the Valley is also good, and she likes it too."
"Most people don't bring these two kinds of flowers with them when they go there."
"But Anjie likes it."
Alice made a gesture of surrender and let him go.
If you deviate your gaze to the side, you can see that in addition to some office supplies, there is also a simple desk calendar on the desktop - not long after, someone drew a circle with a red pen.
There are no other remarks, but it is the only mark on the entire desk calendar.
This is his dark but undisguised secret.
It was the proof that he had raised a certain child sincerely, but under his own insistence, acquiesced that she would leave him forever.
——It was the anniversary of Angel's death.
[world]
Children who are too smart will always feel the filth of this world prematurely.
When the world in the child's eyes fades from colorful to black and white, all things that should arouse the child's interest lose the value of being explored by him.
Osamu Dazai is the one who is too smart.
Maybe it is really favored by some strange consciousness.
A head so clever that the family members fear it, a sharpness so sharp that it is easy to tell people's hearts, and a nullification ability that is not blinded by everything else.
What all piled up is Dazai's disappointment in this world.
Children who see through the world prematurely do not understand the reason for their own existence.
Is it caused by being too calm?
But the eight-year-old thought so.
So he ran away from home without hesitation, and deliberately went to Yokohama, a place of chaos recognized throughout Japan.
He joins the gang, looking for something that is not found in the daily life in blood and violence.
But he was disappointed.
No.
Not here.
That didn't work either.
So he understood.
It turned out that no matter where he was, what he saw was the same.
——What he saw was the same ignorant and unknowing people.
So it's better to die than to live aimlessly, right?
Such thoughts took root in his heart.
He began to look for a way to leave the world without pain.
Until the age of nine, he met the angel of the new neighborhood.
Let's agree with the title of "angel".
At least she didn't pretend to be nice to him to satisfy her desire to save.
Poor acting, impatient with him, likes to threaten him with Akutagawa and slugs, foolishly trusting people around him, too soft-hearted, taught her to use a gun for more than a week before learning how to hit the target... Can Osamu Dazai say Her various flaws.
but--
He knew her shortcomings, but still let her approach.
why?
Probably she is the only one who still chooses to believe him knowing that he is deceiving her.
is a fool.
A fool he could tease, bear with.
Even if he meets new friends in the future, he is an idiot that he will never forget.
When chatting with friends who escaped from serious injuries, they inevitably talked about Angel.
With Dazai's wisdom, it is not difficult to guess the truth.
Mori Ogai's sudden "kindness" can only be influenced by Angel - this is a very strange feeling, which made Dazai and his friend Oda, who were originally relaxed, silent together tacitly, and then turned to talk about other things.
Because while they were good friends with each other, they also made good friends with Angel.
He suddenly thought of the day Angel died.
Osamu Dazai was the only one who witnessed Angel's death among the people who had good friends with Angel.
Dazai doesn't quite remember whether he followed the send-off team out of some unspeakable psychology, or whether he passed by by accident and got trapped in the crowd and couldn't leave.
But he still clearly remembered Angel's face, and how she looked before she saw him.
There is no despair in the face of dead end, let alone sadness.
She is so calm.
It was so peaceful that it was like going out for a walk, and then found a place worth stopping and admiring.
The girl stood where she was, but her eyes seemed to look beyond the city and saw the vast sea outside.
Then she said, "Go ahead."
He quietly waited for his own death.
Like an angel who accidentally fell into the mortal world, he is about to return to the sky at this moment.
It was also at this time that she discovered his existence.
After a brief surprise, the girl who was a few years younger than him showed an apologetic expression mixed with annoyance.
She opened her lips, but did not make any syllables.
But Dazai saw what she was trying to say.
It was also when he saw that sentence that his usual indifferent expression was stained with surprise.
He realized that his heart stopped for less than two seconds, and then speeded up involuntarily.
Because of what she said to him——
"Good night."
It's not an apology for letting friends witness this scene, nor is it an unexpected surprise.
Accompanied by gunshots and splashed blood, at the end of her life, the girl tenderly left a good night to her little friend.
It seems that in this way, the shadows that ordinary people will have when they see this scene can be dispelled.
It seemed like this could make him believe this white lie, and let him admit that she was not dead, but simply fell asleep.
He used to be indifferent to such "goodwill", because he knew the reality of this world better than anyone else.
until--
Now many years later.
After Angel's death, Osamu Dazai was jealous, even envious of her for a long time.
Jealous of her easily getting what he wanted, envious of her achieving the long sleep he dreamed of.
But when the boy almost lost his recognized friend, his heartbeat accelerated as he ran, and the boy suddenly realized why the palpitations that appeared and disappeared instantly after seeing the girl calmly closed her eyes.
Because before he realized it, the young man witnessed with his own eyes that the light within reach was extinguished forever before his eyes.
Is it a pity?
Regret?
That's not an emotion he would have.
So he always silently gives a "no" answer.
In the blink of an eye, Yokohama has become more and more prosperous as Angel wished.
Along the coast of Yokohama, apart from the necessary piers, there are many other facilities built by the sea.
Angel's tombstone is nearby.
That was her favorite place in Yokohama, and it was the only thing she missed when she closed her eyes.
"Mr. Dazai?" The white-haired boy Atsushi Nakajima saw the senior of the detective agency in a khaki windbreaker stop somewhere by the sea, and asked hesitantly, "...is this?"
"Ah, today belongs to that child..." The red-haired youth following behind looked at the cemetery, belatedly realizing, "Mr. Nakajima, this is a new cemetery built a few years ago."
The red-haired young man, Sakunosuke Oda, is explaining to the juniors on behalf of his friends.
"The child...?" Atsushi Nakajima knew that it was not good to ask about such things, so when he said this, his voice was very soft, and he just asked unconsciously.
But his words were clearly heard by the other two.
"It's my 'childhood sweetheart'!"
"Mr. Dazai actually has such a relationship?!"
The subconsciously surprised boy stared at him, but quickly covered his mouth, fearing that he would slip up.
"It's okay." Seeing that he was so careful, Oda Sakunosuke patted the boy's shoulder reassuringly, "Dazai, and her...don't care."
But he stopped outside the iron fence of the cemetery, and stopped the young man, "Let Dazai go."
Atsushi Nakajima stopped obediently, but he intuitively looked at the young man who had already entered the cemetery.
Because his back was facing him, the teenager couldn't see the other person's expression clearly.
But the young man with strong intuition can feel from a distance, the atmosphere around this senior who is always teasing and always out of tune in his eyes?Aura?Calm and gentle after stepping into the cemetery.
He saw the young man standing in front of a certain tombstone.
The tombstone was too far away, and Atsushi Nakajima couldn't read the writing on the stone slab clearly, but he could vaguely see a circle of white flowers that are common in tomb sweepers around the tombstone, and on the tombstone hung two bunches of gardenia and lily of the valley .
And now, under the tombstone farthest from the two bunches of flowers, another lily has been added.
...I don't know where Mr. Dazai hid this flower just now.
The boy thought to himself.
"That child is a very good person." Although Nakajima Atsushi didn't ask, Oda Sakunosuke took the initiative to speak when he saw Dazai squatting down, "The people buried in this cemetery are all those who were killed by the previous Mafia leader of the port. Most of them did not leave their names and died in that chaotic period."
"...The young lady Mr. Dazai paid homage to, too?"
"Yeah." Oda replied, and smiled vaguely, "but she is also the one who ended all of this, so it's not an exaggeration to say that she is deeply loved."
"Is it the same with Oda-san and Dazai-san?"
"My word...'grateful' might be more accurate."
"As for Dazai..." Oda withdrew his gaze, "Probably belatedly realized that I treat her... Forget it. Talking about this kind of thing still requires my own consent."
Atsushi Nakajima just nodded ignorantly to Oda's behavior of stopping in the middle of speaking.
Dazai, who had finished presenting flowers, did not leave immediately.
He first told the girl's tombstone about the shortcomings of his former boss, and then ridiculed that the flowers sent by the other party were too casual and not suitable for him. Finally, he looked at Angel's tombstone in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
But within ten seconds, Dazai came back to his senses.
He raised a lively smile that he had already mastered, and raised his hand to touch the cold stone tablet.
"Did I say that you would never be able to fool me in your life?"
"I take that back now."
The young man half-closed his eyes, and his tone of voice was gentle that few people were lucky enough to hear.
"you succeeded."
"Although I gave you water to let you win."
He fell silent again.
The shadow created when he bowed his head made it difficult to see his current expression clearly.
"Good night."
He responded to the other party several years late, acquiescing to the illusory but well-intentioned lies that the other party had given him.
It was the only lie he believed.
"Have a good dream."
[real name]
