Dazai's girlfriend Natsume

"Cut off the connection with this world?"

Natsume Chiaya repeated what Yato said.She was a little dazed: "Why did Grandma Reiko do this?"

For the sake of the old man's granddaughter, Yato didn't hide anything: "According to her, it was to avoid causing trouble for her brother. After cutting off the fate, all traces of her left in this world will be eliminated, so no one will I know that she is from another world. Reiko and her brother have so many demands, not only to cut off the connection with this world, but also to make her brother not forget her, but it took me a lot of work."

——As a result, the reward was only five yuan.

Xueyin and Yiqi Rihe stared with big eyes: "Another world?"

Iki Hikazu murmured: "My life is really getting more and more outrageous." Since meeting Yato, she not only often has her soul out of her body, but now she even has the concept of a different world.

Hearing Yato's words, Dazai Osamu reacted: "No wonder no one has discovered that Natsume-sensei has a younger sister for so many years."

In this way, it is completely understandable, why no matter whether it is the Armed Detective Agency, or the Supernatural Secret Service Division, there is no information about Natsume Reiko.Otherwise, as long as we live in this world, how could there be no trace left?

"Since you are Reiko's granddaughter, you must not be from this world, right?" Yato glanced at Dazai Osamu: "When you need it,? I can also cut you off. It only costs five yuan! After passing this village, there is no such shop.”

His ice blue eyes met Dazai Osamu's kite eyes, and then,? Both of them looked away.Except for themselves, no one knows what kind of information they exchanged in that moment of collision.

"Thank you, but I don't need Zhan Yuan for the time being. However," Natsume Chiaya didn't notice the short "conversation" between Osamu Dazai and Yato.She lowered her head, and took out five yuan from her shoulder bag: "Can I ask you to help me find a monster?"

"What kind of monster?" Yato asked without hastily agreeing.

"Its name is this." Natsume Chiaya took out the friend account again, and pointed out the name on the last page to Yato.

Yiqi Rihe asked: "What word is this?"

Xueyin: "Hiyo, you don't understand either?"

"This is the writing of the monster, of course you can't understand it." Yato said: "Only the monster himself and the person who accepts the name can understand it."

Yato asked Natsume Chiaya strangely: "Why don't you just use the name to summon that monster?" The name is the shortest curse, since Natsume Chiaya has the name of the monster, wouldn't it be better to just summon it if you want to find it? ?

Natsume Chiling was a little helpless: "The book of friends was created by Reiko's grandmother. I don't know the name and appearance of this monster, so I can't summon it. [Note 1]"

"You never asked Reiko?" Yato asked even more strangely.

"Sorry, when my brother and I inherited the account of friends, Grandma Reiko had passed away."

"Okay, if that's the case," Yato took a five-yuan coin from Natsume Chiaya's palm, clasped the coin with his thumb and tossed it up, and firmly caught the coin: "I have heard your wish."

It's a pity that after this handsome move, he smiled extraordinarily enthusiastically: "Besides that, you can call me if you need anything in the future. Welcome to patronize. It only costs five yuan each time, which is super cost-effective."

Yato's voice was somewhat similar to Natsume Takashi's, but Natsume Chiaya never thought that her brother's voice could have such a lively and brilliant tone.

She couldn't help laughing, and replied, "Okay. I will call you if necessary. Thank you, Mr. Yato. By the way, my name is Natsume Chiaya."

——"My name is Natsume Reiko."

——"If you meet my descendants in the future, you can become attached to them."

——"In this way, someone will always remember you."

Yato was a little dazed.He said, "You and Reiko are not alike at all."

But Natsume Reiko's word came true.Decades later, he actually met her offspring.Reiko... did she know that her descendants would come to this world?

Without waiting for Natsume Chiaya to ask, Yato continued: "For Reiko's sake, let me remind you that Yokohama's protection has disappeared. Fortunately, the demons and curse spirits here are not rampant, so you should pay attention."

"Protection of Yokohama?" Natsume Chiaya subconsciously asked.

"Ah, did Reiko do it in the first place? I don't know the details. Because of this protection, Yokohama is not infested by demons and cursed spirits." Yato said.

"..."

On the way back, Natsume Chiaya was still thinking about the clues revealed in Yato's words.

At least for now, it is certain that Grandma Reiko crossed the world and came here with the help of Grandpa Asagi in order to find Mr. Natsume Soseki.After staying here for three months, with the help of Yato, she cut off the connection with this world and returned to the original world.

But why did Yahara appear in this world?

Natsume Chiaya sighed, turned her head, and looked at Osamu Dazai.Osamu Dazai was unpacking the file bag that Ango Sakaguchi gave him. He seemed to be aware of her gaze. He looked over and asked with a smile, "What's the matter, Chiya-chan?"

Before Natsume Qianling answered, he also sighed: "Isn't Qianling sauce thinking about cutting off fate?"

"Huh?" Natsume Chiya laughed after being stunned: "Mr. Dazai, don't worry, I really cherish the fate with everyone. I will definitely not kill the fate unless it is absolutely necessary."

Osamu Dazai gasped: "Hiss, Chiya-chan seemed to have said something terrible just now? Hurry up, delete the previous sentence."

"Eh?"

"It's like a plot in a novel, 'I'll go back when I go', 'we'll get married when I come back', it will become a promise that can't be fulfilled in the end." Osamu Dazai said seriously: "So, Qian Ling Sauce must not learn from them."

Natsume Chiya nodded with a smile: "Yes, Mr. Dazai is right. I remember it."

Hearing her answer, Osamu Dazai nodded in satisfaction, and handed a document to Natsume Chiaya: "Chiya-chan, look here. This text, 'Shortly after the curse spirit in Yokohama disappeared, the magician was affected by the power Soseki Natsume came up with the idea of ​​three quarters to suppress the withdrawal from Yokohama—do you think it is a coincidence?"

To some extent, Yokohama has been "peaceful" for too long, so that people forget that, a few decades ago, Yokohama also had curse spirits and demons.

"Indeed. And Mr. Yato also said just now that Grandma Reiko is related to the 'protection of Yokohama'. I think maybe Grandma Reiko and Mr. Natsume Soseki did this for the stability of Yokohama." Natsume Chiling thoughtfully Said: "If I can meet Mr. Natsume Soseki, maybe many questions will be answered."

"Natsume-sensei didn't see you before, so I didn't want you to get involved in all kinds of troubles, Chiya-chan. Once your relationship with Natsume-sensei is exposed, the Special Agents Section, Port Mafia, Scepter? Supernatural organizations in Europe and North America will pay more attention to you."

As a legendary supernatural being and the teacher of the two leaders who were conceived in Yokohama Three Quarters, Natsume Soseki's identity is so special.

"But, Dazai-san, I'm already in it."

Natsume Qianling lowered her eyes, looking at the account of friends in her shoulder bag, her voice was soft but firm: "To be honest, Mr. Dazai, I am more worried about another issue than whether I can go home - if... brother They are also involved in this world, what should I do?"

It's like Yahara's appearance.What should she do if her family and friends also fall into this dangerous world with supernatural beings, curse spirits, and demons?

"So, I have to know everything. I can't bet on any odds."

Osamu Dazai really wanted to sigh this time.He stared at Natsume Chiaya's face, and finally said: "Perhaps, you are right, Chiya-chan."

After the two returned to the staff dormitory and said "good night" to each other, Osamu Dazai was not in a hurry to fall asleep.

He stared at the contact information Natsume Soseki had left for him on his phone, pondered for a while, and sent a text message.

A few days later, President Fukuzawa called Natsume Chiaya to the president's office.

"Natsume-sensei agrees to meet with you." President Fukuzawa said, "It's just today. I'll take you to Wanxiangtang to meet Natsume-sensei later."

Natsume Chiya didn't expect to let go so quickly, she was pleasantly surprised: "Thank you, President." She was fully prepared if Mr. Natsume Soseki insisted on not seeing her, she might have the audacity to disturb the president every day.

President Fukuzawa: "You don't need to thank me. I just help convey it."

Wanxiangtangwu is a stronghold used by the Detective Agency before its establishment, and its location is very hidden.After President Fukuzawa sent Natsume Chiaya here, he left first.

Natsume Chiaya waited patiently for a moment, and heard a burst of light footsteps, accompanied by the light sound of the cane.A middle-aged man wearing a bowler hat gradually approached. His appearance was not very similar to Grandma Reiko, except for a pair of sharp cat eyes, which Natsume Chiaya felt somewhat familiar with.

"Qian Ling." He called out.

Natsume Chiaya suddenly felt a sense of intimacy: "Mr. Natsume Soseki."

Natsume Soseki sat down opposite her and said, "Sorry, it took me so long to see you."

"I know that Mr. Natsume Soseki has his own considerations. However, I also have my own ideas. Therefore, it is very presumptuous to ask Mr. Natsume Soseki to meet. I hope Mr. Natsume Soseki will forgive me."

Natsume Chiaya could faintly feel that Mr. Natsume Soseki might have been paying attention to her.Otherwise, how could Mr. Natsume Soseki arrive in such a timely manner when she entered the port of Mafia?

Natsume Soseki laughed: "When Reiko met me for the first time, she was not as polite as you. Her first words were—"

Natsume Soseki cleared his throat and imitated Natsume Reiko's tone: "Although you may not know it, but I am your sister, Natsume Reiko. I will rely on you for a while, I hope you don't mind. If you really mind, Remember to tell me, I will go by myself."

Natsume Reiko, that's how it is, it's strange and thorny when it comes into contact with you suddenly.In fact, only those who really know her well know what kind of soft and delicate heart this seemingly carefree girl has.

Natsume Chiaya was amused by Natsume Soseki's imitation, and her original restraint was immediately diluted a lot.She asked, "So, grandma Reiko and you are really brother and sister?"

"Of course. Therefore, you shouldn't use such a respectful address." Natsume Soseki said, "You can call me grandpa."

Natsume Chiling hesitated and said, "But my grandfather...is called Asagi."

Natsume Soseki's face was a little dark: "It's okay, don't worry about him. You called you."

I don't know if it was Natsume Chiaya's auditory hallucinations, but Natsume Soseki seemed to snort softly, as if he was not feeling well.

"Then I'll call you... Mr. Soseki?" Natsume Chiaya thought for a while, then compromised.

Natsume Soseki: "Alright."

"Mr. Soseki," Natsume Chiaya had countless questions in her mind, and she asked what she cared most about: "Can I return to my world?"

Natsume Soseki was silent for a long time, and said, "Actually, Chiaya, the world is merging."

"Fusion? What do you mean?" Natsume Chiaya's heart skipped a beat, and the worst outcome seemed to have come true.

"Our current world and the world you used to live in have always been attracting each other. I will appear in this world, and it was when I was a child that when the two worlds converged, I strayed into the passage. At that time, I was still young, not I remember it too much. I was lucky that I didn’t die on the way, but landed safely in Yokohama.”

Natsume Soseki explained: "Later, Reiko found me across the world, and we discovered that the two worlds are slowly merging. Yokohama is the starting point in the process of merging the two worlds. Therefore, Yokohama must maintain stability. Otherwise, the world will be completely When merging, if the base point is unstable, it will cause extremely dire consequences.”

This is the origin of the concept of "Protection of Yokohama" and the Three Moments.

——It’s no wonder Yokohama is so special.

"Then what about Yahara?" Natsume Chiaya pursed her lips, "The danger in this world is too high."

Natsume Soseki raised his hand and patted Natsume Chiaya on the shoulder: "Calm down, Chiaya, before Reiko left, she said that she would be ready. Besides, when the world merges, the world will also improve itself. Like the appearance of Yahara, Not too many people noticed, did they?"

"Yeah." Natsume Chiya said in a muffled voice, "I'm sorry, Mr. Soseki, I'm just worried about my brother, Aunt Tako, and Uncle Zi."

Natsume Soseki patted her head: "No need to apologize. I understand how you feel."

Natsume Chiaya asked: "By the way, Mr. Soseki, do you know if Grandma Reiko encountered any monsters in this world?"

"Monster?" Natsume Soseki paused, suddenly realized: "You said that."

He recalled: "After we found out that we needed to maintain the stability of Yokohama, we started to think of a way. At that time, Yokohama still had magic spirits and conjurers, and maybe there were monsters that you recently discovered. Later, Reiko said that she just came When I came to this world, I met a monster friend who could help. After that, the magic spirit never appeared again in Yokohama.”

After finally getting some information, Natsume Chiaya hurriedly asked, "What's its name? Does Mr. Soseki know where it is?"

"Reiko didn't say its name. What I know is probably not its name. As for where it is," Natsume Soseki shook his head helplessly: "I didn't meet Reiko for long at that time, so I was embarrassed to ask her too much. Privacy, so I don’t know. But anyway, Qian Ling,” Natsume Soseki’s expression became serious: “You must protect the account of good friends. The name on the last page must not have any accidents, and it must not let it fall into the in anyone's hands."

"I will." Natsume Chiaya promised.She asked again: "Mr. Soseki, the situation in Yokohama is not very good now, will it affect the integration of the world?"

"I'm trying to figure out a way to deal with it." Natsume Soseki also had a headache: "The current situation in Yokohama can barely maintain stability, thanks to the fact that there is a transcendent in Yokohama [Note 2]. If it wasn't for his help, I am afraid that the curse and the The size and number of demons will be greater."

"Transcendent?" Natsume Chiaya heard this term for the first time.

Natsume Soseki: "The transcendent is the ultimate existence among the supernatural beings. Of course, according to his own statement, it should be called a superhuman? By the way, you should know him. His name is Saiki Kusuo."

"Sai Mu-kun?"

This time Natsume Chiaya was really shocked.She knew that Kusuo Saiki might not be an ordinary person, but with Natsume Soseki's evaluation, he could even maintain the stability of the entire Yokohama with his own efforts - it was completely invisible from the outside.

Natsume Chiling asked: "But Saiki-kun is still in high school, won't this affect his life?"

"Cough... this, there is a little bit." Mentioning this, Natsume Soseki also felt a little dumbfounded: "I originally wanted to invite him to join the Armed Detective Agency or the Supernatural Secret Service Division directly, but Sai Mu-kun insisted on living an ordinary life, so He attends classes during the day, and spends his spare time dealing with various situations in Yokohama. Also because he doesn't want to attract attention, no one knows about it except you and me."

"Then you can't rely on Qi Mu-kun's ability forever." Natsume Qianling pursed her lips: "I still need to find that monster. If Yokohama has been protected by that monster before, and now that the protection disappears, is it out? What happened?" Natsume Chiya briefly talked about her dream, and added: "Could it be that it is asking me for help?"

Natsume Soseki pondered, "It's not impossible. I'll investigate from this angle to see if I can find the monster."

Natsume Chiaya said: "Okay, I will try to find it too."

Natsume Soseki didn't stay for long, and before leaving, he repeatedly told Natsume Chiya to pay attention to safety and go out from the secret passage of Wanxiangtang to avoid being discovered.

"Also," Natsume Soseki finally couldn't hold back and said, "Don't get too close to Dazai kid."

Natsume Qianling was caught off guard when she heard such a sentence, she was a little stunned: "Huh?"

Natsume Soseki said: "Don't let him go to your place for dinner all the time, don't always help him with work, don't let him touch you..."

He said a lot in one breath, and finally concluded: "Also, don't tell him about the other world."

Natsume Chiaya lowered her eyes and said in embarrassment: "But last time I found Yahara appeared, it was Mr. Dazai who went to look for me. I told him."

Natsume Soseki: "..."

Natsume Soseki looked at Natsume Chiya with a broken heart, feeling deeply that his child was being raped by a pig!Not to mention the bastard boy Dazai Osamu.How could Natsume Soseki not see it?That guy was already consciously moving towards Natsume Chiaya before he got the hang of it, but if he got the hang of it, it would be fine?

Just thinking about this, Natsume Soseki wished he could go back to four years ago and grab Mori Ogai by the collar and ask him to take his students back.

Natsume Chiaya was puzzled by Natsume Soseki's reaction, she asked cautiously: "Mr. Soseki, Mr. Dazai...is there any problem?"

"Not really. He's, very, very good."

Natsume Soseki's tone was rather gloomy.This time Natsume Chiaya was convinced that she had no auditory hallucinations, and Natsume Soseki's cane made a crisp "click".

Natsume Chiaya: "...?"

Returning to the Armed Detective Agency from Wanxiangtang, Natsume Chiya went to the president's office to express her gratitude to President Fukuzawa, and then returned to her desk.

Osamu Dazai didn't know when it started, and gradually shifted the lazy position from the client's sofa to next to her.Hearing the movement, he raised his head and yawned a long way: "Qianling sauce, are you finally back?"

When Natsume Chiaya saw him, she remembered Natsume Soseki's strange reaction.She couldn't help staring at Osamu Dazai for a while, in exchange for his confused expression.Osamu Dazai tilted his head, his kite-colored eyes were pure and innocent: "Qianling sauce?"

Natsume Chiaya shook her head, put aside those thoughts, sat down, and asked, "Mr. Dazai, have you completed today's task?"

"of course not!"

After Dazai Zhizhi finished his answer confidently, his eyes drooped slightly, and he held Natsume Chiaya's hand pitifully: "Qianya-chan, you know, without you, I would never be able to complete those tedious and boring paperwork. "

Natsume Chiaya was angry and funny: "Then how did Mr. Dazai complete his work before I joined the Armed Detective Agency?"

"Of course it was Kunikida-kun who urged you. But Kunikida-kun always likes to swear and beat people, so fierce." Dazai Osamu spared no effort to give himself the title of "poor little boy": "Senya-chan, please please."

Natsume Chiaya: "..."

Mr. Kunikida will definitely be angry if he hears such words.

Tanizaki Naomi was a little bit disappointed, and was about to speak, when she suddenly heard Edogawa's unsalty voice: "If Dazai thinks that I have too little work, I can assign you some new tasks for the president."

"Well, don't bother Mr. Ranpo." Osamu Dazai said with a smile.

Edogawa Ranpo squinted his eyes, staring at Osamu Dazai's smiling face, that feeling of unhappiness floated in his heart again.

Natsume Chiaya sighed, got up anyway, and tapped on the desktop in front of Osamu Dazai: "Turn on your computer, Mr. Dazai."

"Okay! I know Chiya-chan is the best~"

Osamu Dazai said, rubbing Natsume Chiaya's shoulder affectionately.Natsume Chiaya pushed his head and complained: "Mr. Dazai, do you think you are a cat! It's so itchy."

"..."

Xiaomi didn't know when she slipped in from the outside, just in time for this scene.

With a "click", Haruno Qiluozi exclaimed: "Xiao Mi! You can't grab the table!"
