Dazai's girlfriend Natsume

Not only Chiaya Natsume saw Osamu Dazai at a glance, Osamu Dazai also saw Chiya Natsume at the first sight.

The girl was wearing light orange sleeves, her long brown hair was coiled up, and she was only adorned with a headband. She was slim and graceful, just standing there like an ancient beauty walking out of an ancient painting.The phoenix eye has been drawn with eyeliner by Akiko Yosano, and the upward arc is much sharper than usual, but the warm amber color neutralizes this arrogance, and there is a kind of contradictory beauty that is awe-inspiring but gentle.

"This beautiful lady, can you give me your time tonight?"

He extended his hand to Natsume Chiaya, and issued such an invitation.

Natsume Chiya was in a daze, she almost agreed to him.It's a pity that she still remembers the agreement with Akiko Yosano, so she can only smile apologetically at Osamu Dazai: "I made an appointment with Dr. Yosano tonight, Mr. Dazai, I can't break my promise."

Yosano Akiko walked out from behind Natsume Chiaya, and sneered ruthlessly: "Dazai, give up."

Dazai Osamu covered his heart with his outstretched hand, his face full of flamboyant disbelief: "Qianya-chan, do you really want to be so cruel?"

Natsume Chiya supported her forehead: "Mr. Dazai, let me remind you, except for the less than an hour after going to the shrine and before the fireworks display, I went shopping with Dr. Yosano tonight. In fact, we will not be separated. ah."

"But Qian Ling-chan ignored me for half a month." Dazai Osamu complained, "I'm going to sit with Qian Ling-chan later."

Natsume Qianling really had nothing to do with him, so she had to reach out and hold him, she agreed, "Okay."

Osamu Dazai immediately pulled Natsume Chiaya over to the sofa that had been arranged: "Come here, over here,? Chiaya-chan,? This sofa is the softest client sofa. I also brought it for you Pillow."

Natsume Chiaya could only smile at Akiko Yosano, Naomi Tanizaki and Kyoka Izumi, and was taken away by Osamu Dazai.

Shaking his head with Yosano Akiko, he gave a "tsk", turned his head and led Quan Jinghua: "Jinghua sauce, let's sit together later. What strange talk are you planning tonight? Is it scary enough? If it can scare Dazai is better."

It's not auspicious to play Hundred Stories on New Year's Eve, but the people in the Armed Detective Agency never pay attention to these nonsense, as long as it's interesting to play on New Year's Eve.

Naomi Tanizaki asked doubtfully, "Mr. Dazai...would you be afraid?"

Yosano Akiko: "He? Of course he's not afraid of ghosts. I just don't like him being too proud."

Izumi Kyoka silently glanced at Osamu Dazai over there, for some reason, there was always a feeling that even if he wasn't afraid, he would make himself afraid.

——Of course, there are still some people who are really afraid.

Kunikida Doppo crossed his arms, with a tense expression, and his words were strangely unsteady: "Who will start first?"

Both Yosano Akiko and Yosano Akiko couldn't bear it: "How about Kunikida first?"

Others may not know it, but as the first batch of people who joined the Armed Detective Agency, she still knows it.Don't look at Kunikida Doppo's upright and fearless appearance on weekdays, in fact he is afraid of ghosts.Oh, I guess Osamu Dazai knows too.

Kunikida Doppo nodded: "Okay."

Then everyone heard Kunikida Doppo's heartfelt talk about a time when he was sick and wanted to rest. [note 1]

"I'm done." Kunikida Doppo blew out the candle.

"..."

The air was silent.

Until Atsushi Nakajima couldn't help complaining: "This is the end???"

Kunikida Doppo asked back: "Isn't this scary? I! Kunikida Doppo! Want to rest!"

Atsushi Nakajima: "...That's because Mr. Kunikida is sick!"

Natsume Chiaya was amused.Kunikida Doppo looked at her, thinking that Natsume Chiaya wouldn't say anything too scary, so he asked politely, "Is it okay to ask Natsume-san to talk about it next time?"

"Me? That's fine too."

Natsume Chiaya thought for a while, organized her words, and began to talk: "Perhaps, have you heard of Master Two Body? [Note 2]"

"Master Two Body?"

Natsume Chiya lowered her voice, her tone was long and gentle, but it was a statement without emotion: "Yes, Master Two Body, a cursed doll."

"Put many dolls together and let them kill each other, and the two dolls left in the end are the cursed dolls—Master Two Body."

"One day, the house where Master Two-body was stored was struck by lightning, and Master Two-body can move about freely from then on."

"..."

The candle flickered on and off, and the girl's smiling brows and eyes were suddenly cast with shadows.

She spoke so vividly, as if she had experienced it herself.The feeling of being spied on, overtly and secretly, suddenly rose, making the hair stand on end.

Kunikida Doppo's eyes were dull, and he unconsciously grabbed the things at hand.Edogawa Ranpo's potato chips were "crackling" crushed by him.

However, Edogawa Ranpo didn't care too much, and opened his emerald green eyes in astonishment, as if meeting Natsume Chiaya for the first time, re-examining Natsume Chiaya.

Izumi Kyoka was already scared and hid in Yosano Akiko's arms, Tanizaki Naomi also hugged Tanizaki Junichiro tightly.

The corner of Atsushi Nakajima's mouth twitched, and finally he hesitated to speak: "Miss Natsume..."

Natsume Chiaya's voice returned to the clear and soft voice of the past: "Huh?"

"So you are the real 'Lord of Hundred Stories'." Atsushi Nakajima sighed sincerely.

I never expected that Ms. Natsume, who is always soft-spoken on weekdays, has such a sense of atmosphere and reality when she talks about strange stories.I feel that even if I talk about it later, it will be difficult to surpass this.

Natsume Chiaya smiled without explaining.Master Two Body is real, and she has met her brother before.

Yosano Akiko once again looked sympathetically at the obviously stiff Kunikida Doppo, maybe this is shooting himself in the foot?

Natsume Chiaya asked, "Who is next?"

Yosano Akiko: "May I try?"

"Okay."

Natsume Chiaya blew out the candles, put the candlesticks on the table, and signaled that Yosano Akiko and Yosano Akiko could start.

But as soon as she withdrew her hand, her arms were tightly hugged.

Natsume Chiaya tilted her head: "Mr. Dazai?"

Originally Osamu Dazai was sitting next to her, just holding her hand.But now he was all over him, the dark-haired young man's expression was not very good in the candlelight, and a pair of kite eyes showed a bit of cautious fear.

His voice was trembling and erratic: "Qian-Qianling-chan's words are terrible...Master Two-Body... Can you really, really eat people?"

"Huh?" Natsume Chiya didn't expect Osamu Dazai to be afraid of such weird talk, so she could only comfort her: "Mr. Dazai, don't be afraid, Master Two Body has disappeared."

"If something happens, will Chiya-chan protect me?" Osamu Dazai moved closer, and asked pitifully, "I'm really scared."

When Yosano Akiko heard the conversation here, she stopped talking about the strange talk, and almost forgot what she was going to say later.She couldn't help but glanced at Osamu Dazai, how could he say such a thing? !

Osamu Dazai shrank back to Natsume Chiaya again, his upper body almost tucked into Natsume Chiaya's arms, avoiding the sight of Akiko Yosano, and whispered: "Qianya-chan, the story I told Dr. Yosano It's terrible."

Natsume Chiya couldn't help but stroked her boyfriend's disheveled and soft hair, and comforted her: "It's okay, if there is, I will definitely protect Mr. Dazai."

Not to mention Yosano Akiko, Edogawa Ranpo couldn't bear to look directly at him, turned his head away, and said indignantly, "Dazai is too cunning!"

"..."

Natsume Chiaya didn't listen much to Hundred Monogatari, and was busy comforting her "scared" boyfriend.

However, speaking of Hundred Monogatari, there are actually only a few people in the Armed Detective Agency. In order to avoid everyone being cautious, President Fukuzawa did not participate, and everyone said it soon.

After one round, it is generally accepted that the strange talk between Chiaya Natsume and Atsushi Nakajima is the scariest.Even Tanizaki Naomi, who proposed to play Hundred Monogatari, didn't expect that the gentlest Chiaya Natsume and the most harmless Atsushi Nakajima would fit perfectly together when it comes to strange stories.

Tanizaki Junichiro said: "This may be the legend that people should not be judged by their appearance."

Natsume Chiya smiled and said: "If you don't mind, I can actually say a few more." Anyway, she met a lot of monsters, and the stories and origins of some monsters are indeed quite scary.

Yosano Akiko: "...You should let Kunikida go, Chiya."

Natsume Chiaya: "Huh? Mr. Kunikida is afraid—"

Kunikida Doppo reflexively replied: "Who, who... who would be afraid of this kind of thing! I'm not afraid!"

Edogawa Ranpo dismantled the stage mercilessly: "You put down Ranpo-sama's potato chips before you say this."

"Hahahahaha!"

There was a sudden burst of laughter in the detective agency, diluting the previous horror atmosphere.

The lights in the room were turned on again, and it was bright.It was still some time before eleven o'clock, and everyone decided to have dinner first.Dinner was ordered in advance and sent to the Armed Detective Agency, which was extremely rich.

There are gifts prepared by everyone in the corner, with name tags written on them.

Natsume Chiaya said jokingly: "All I gave were books, all of which are very good works."

Basically, everyone sends the works of the same different world writers, and Natsume Chiaya thinks this is very interesting.

It's a pity that although many people have discovered the fact of world fusion, everyone in the Armed Detective Agency has also noticed it.However, the fact that Natsume Chiaya came from another world is not clear to anyone other than Dazai Osamu.Edogawa Ranpo may have deduced it, but he didn't say it.

Therefore, Natsume Chiaya still has a little regret that she can't tell them about the writers from another world.

Natsume Chiaya herself also received many gifts.But now it was too late to take it apart, Yosano Akiko shouted at her: "Let's go, Qian Ling, it's time to go to the shrine."

"Here we come, Doctor Yosano." Natsume Chiling was about to follow Yosano Akiko, but her sleeves were grabbed.

She turned her head, and Osamu Dazai said pitifully, "Qian Ling-chan, I dare not go alone. You said you would protect me, right?"

Natsume Chiaya couldn't stop laughing: "Okay, Mr. Dazai, wait a moment, I will tell Dr. Yosano. I will go with you later."

"Okay~" Osamu Dazai replied contentedly.

With Yosano Akiko full of complex faces, Osamu Dazai is really shameless!

She couldn't hold back and asked Natsume Qianling: "Qianling, don't you think that Dazai might be lying to you? I have been in the detective agency for so many years, but I have never heard that Dazai is afraid of ghosts."

"However, if Mr. Dazai can do this, how can I have the heart to refuse?" Chiya Natsume blinked at Akiko Yosano, her ears burning, but she still said, "After all, that's probably what liking is all about."

"..."

Yosano Akiko's fingertips unconsciously caressed the golden butterfly hair ornament in her hair.The cool touch brought her back to her senses, and after a long time, she sighed: "Forget it, I really can't do anything with you two."

One is willing to act, and the other is willing to pamper.

Perhaps, she needn't be so pessimistic.After all, Natsume Chiaya is not her, and Osamu Dazai is not the boy she met back then.

Yosano Akiko pushed Natsume Chiaya with disgust: "Okay, okay, go back and find your boyfriend. Tonight I will go play with Kyoka-chan. Don't come to me after visiting the shrine. "

"Then Dr. Yosano, please don't take Jinghuajiang to the bar." Knowing what Yosano Akiko meant, Natsume Qianling paused for a moment without refusing, and joked with Yosano Akiko.

Quan Jinghua calmly said: "It's okay, I went in." Of course, the purpose is to kill people, so there is no need to tell Natsume Qianling.

But how could Natsume Chiaya fail to guess?She suppressed her smile a little, bent down and patted Quan Jinghua's head, and said softly: "New year, new weather, Jinghuajiang is now an excellent detective agency member."

Quan Jinghua raised her head and smiled at her: "Yes!"

"..."

Natsume Chiaya returned to Dazai Osamu and took his hand.Osamu Dazai intertwined her fingers very skillfully, Natsume Chiaya tilted her head and coaxed a child, "Don't be afraid, Mr. Dazai."

Osamu Dazai: "If you have Chiya-chan, you won't be afraid~"

The shrine is not far from the Armed Detective Agency, and everyone is happy to go out for a walk on New Year's Eve.So, the Armed Detective Agency and a group walked towards the shrine in twos and threes.

The lights of thousands of houses on the street are intertwined into a piece, which is extraordinarily lively and festive, as if everyone's face is full of joy.

At Ranpo Edogawa's urging, Doppo Kunikida bought marshmallows for everyone as he passed a store.Edogawa Ranpo occupied two of them, one marshmallow in each hand, so happy that he didn't even care about the marshmallow sticking to the corner of his mouth.

Natsume Chiaya also got one, which was strawberry-flavored and girly pink, and Osamu Dazai next to him got a white one.

Afraid of staining her lipstick or getting the marshmallow on her cheeks, she moved her fingers, signaling Dazai to let go: "Mr. Dazai, I'll tear the marshmallow."

Osamu Dazai let go of his hand as promised, but tugged at her sleeve again.Natsume Chiaya tore off the marshmallow, and fed a piece to Dazai Osamu's mouth: "Do you want to eat?"

"Eat~" Osamu Dazai opened his mouth obediently, as if he was waiting to be fed.

As a result, after swallowing the marshmallow, he quickly licked Natsume Chiaya's fingertips, and said, "Sweeter than marshmallow, Chiya-chan."

Natsume Chiaya: "..."

"Mr. Dazai!" Natsume Chiaya didn't take any precautions, opened her eyes in surprise, and subconsciously looked around. Luckily, everyone was enjoying themselves and didn't notice this side.

Dazai Osamu handed the marshmallow in his hand to Natsume Chiaya, with an expectation that could be interpreted on his face: "I still want to eat it."

"You can eat it yourself!" Natsume Chiaya turned her head slightly annoyed.

Osamu Dazai was not in a hurry, and looked at her with a smile.Sure enough, not long after, Natsume Chiaya turned back and asked, "Mr. Dazai... did you bring wet wipes?" The cotton candy stuck between her fingers, and the stickiness was really uncomfortable.

"Actually, there is a better way than wet wipes." Osamu Dazai said seriously.

"what?"

Osamu Dazai rolled his eyes and said, "I can help Chiaya-chan get rid of those remaining marshmallows~"

Natsume Chiaya was stunned for a moment before realizing Dazai Osamu's meaning.Her embarrassment was even higher: "No, no need! Anyway, I have to clean my hands when I enter the shrine later."

Dazai Osamu touched the tip of his nose, and handed the wet wipe to Natsume Chiaya as if conjuring: "Hey, Chiaya-chan, here you are."

Natsume Chiaya wiped her hands, and said helplessly, "Mr. Dazai, stop teasing me, okay?"

"But Chiya-chan's shy look is cute!" Osamu Dazai said confidently.

"Mr. Dazai, you better stop talking!"

"..."

After washing their hands and mouth at Semizuya, Chiaya Natsume and Osamu Dazai went to line up in front of the shrine.There were a lot of people who came to pay homage tonight, but luckily they came at the right time, and they arrived without a long queue.

Natsume Chiaya took out the coins she had prepared earlier from her handbag, threw them into the Sai money box, then rang the bell, clapped her hands and bowed.

Soon, she opened her eyes, and Osamu Dazai asked curiously, "What wish did Chiya-chan make?"

"My wish?"

Natsume Chiaya and Dazai Osamu walked aside, so as not to block the people who wanted to visit behind.

"I have a lot of wishes this year, I hope Lord God doesn't think I'm greedy."

"The first wish is that my brother is safe and sound."

"The second wish is that everyone is healthy and happy."

"The third wish..."

"Probably a curse."

Natsume Chiya pursed her lips, raised her eyes and smiled slightly at Osamu Dazai, the amber phoenix eyes gleamed softly like moonlight: "I curse Mr. Dazai..."

"Long live a hundred years and be safe every year."
