Dazai's girlfriend Natsume

"Qianling!" Natsume Takashi didn't care about other things, ran to Natsume Qianling in two or three steps, supported her, looked down at the magic circle on the ground, and said in a voiceless voice: "How did you liberate the demon blood?"

Others don't know,? Can he still not know?Natsume Chiya hadn't fully fused with the demon blood at all.If one is not done well, it will lead to a demon blood riot and death.

Natsume Chiaya's consciousness was a little fuzzy.The phoenix behind her disappeared, and she fell into Natsume Takashi's arms, with a soft voice, "Brother...I... miss you so much..."

Natsume Takashi softened his heart.They have hardly been separated since they were young, and this time it is probably because they have been away alone for too long.You know, Natsume Qianling seldom acts like a baby, and often takes care of his brother instead.The younger sister who speaks in this tone, no matter how angry she is for not taking good care of herself, she can't say any words of reproach at all.

He stroked Natsume Chiaya's broken hair that was wet with beads of sweat, and said, "Come on, Chiaya."

"There are still a few people who haven't been sent out, and we can't stop." Natsume Chiling said, agitated,? Grabbed Natsume Takashi's hand: "Brother, Yokohama is in danger,? Take Teacher Cat away quickly."

If it weren't for Natsume Chiya's poor condition right now, teacher cat would want to hit her with a meow punch.He cursed and said, "Qianling,? You idiot! We are here to deal with the problem. Why don't you stop soon?"

He caught a glimpse of the demon blood flowing in the magic circle, and he almost wanted to knock Natsume Qianling's head open to see what was going on inside.

Over the years, these two brothers and sisters have not improved at all!

There was a rush of footsteps, and the members of the Armed Detective Agency, who were alarmed by the phoenix, just went up to the rooftop, when they saw a strange three people and one cat appearing.

Among them, it can be seen at a glance that the young man with brown hair is related to Natsume Chiaya who he is holding.

"That's...Miss Natsume's brother?" Atsushi Nakajima hesitated.

Yosano Akiko then asked, "Qian Ling, are you alright?"

"I am fine."

Before the city hall, the last person was sent out.The magic circle under Natsume Chiaya's feet darkened, and the connection with Yokohama disappeared.

What followed was a stabbing pain, as if someone had stuck thousands of needles in her head.

Natsume Chiaya barely stood firm, and answered Yosano Akiko's words.She suddenly remembered something, turned her head hastily, and asked Natsume Takashi in a low voice: "Brother, Yaowen..."

"It's gone, don't be afraid." Natsume Takashi comforted him knowing that she had always cared about this.

He smiled slightly at the Armed Detective Agency again: "Hello, I'm Takashi Natsume, Qian Ling's older brother. Qian Ling is here, thank you for your care."

"What's going on?" Kunikida Doppo's mind was in a mess: "Where was that phoenix just now? Didn't it come to attack the detective agency?"

Edogawa Ranpo pointed at Asanagi: "If Lord Ranpo's guess is correct, he is the phoenix." He asked again: "Are you Qianling's grandfather?"

Everyone looked at Asagi.His appearance is somewhat similar to Natsume Chiaya, but the lines are more masculine.The arcs of their two phoenix eyes are exactly the same, probably because of the red-gold pupils, this kind of eye shape displayed the sharpness and majesty that the phoenix eyes should have on him, and there were strange red-gold lines on his cheeks, which was strange It's just that he is calm and introverted, and he is extremely contradictory.

"Well, it's me." After Asanagi replied, his gaze met Sorachan.He nodded slightly: "You are Kong Chan, right? I heard Reiko mention you."

Kong Chan stared at Asagi, and asked, "You made the world merge earlier?"

"That's right." Asagi admitted frankly.

Kong Chan: "Why?"

"Chiya," Asanagi didn't answer Kongchan, turned his head, and asked Natsume Chiaya, "Where's the friend's account?"

"Here." Natsume Chiling took out the account of friends from her shoulder bag, turned to the last page, and shouted a little strangely: "Grandpa Asa, Asanagi...do you know Kongchan's real name?"

"I don't know its name. But I know how to solve the current situation," Asagi said.

He took the friend account from Natsume Chiaya, and brushed the dark green shell with his hand.

The seal was released, and the friend account, which was originally as thin as a sheet of paper, turned into a thick "book" without words in an instant.

Kong Chan realized later: "That's a 'book'?!"

It turned out to be like this, and it turned out that the "book" was next to it.But because of the name change, it can no longer sense this split.No, no, not quite.There is also a seal, Natsume Reiko sealed the "book".So even if the "book" is placed in front of it, it can't detect it at all.

Asagi looked calm: "Yeah."

"Why did Reiko do this?" Kong Chan squeezed out almost every word between his teeth, and asked angrily, "Is it fun? The fusion of the world in advance, sealing my split body, and causing this situation is very fun ?"

"Because Reiko doesn't want you to die." Asagi turned her head and looked at the sky, her tone was still calm.

Kong Chan was taken aback.

Asagi didn't continue to explain anything.He lowered his red-gold phoenix eyes, and pointed his slender fingers at the friend's account, or "book".The next moment, red gold and amber streamers lit up and shot straight into the sky.

Both Natsume Chiaya and Natsume Takashi felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy from it.

Natsume Takashi slowly said: "That's... Grandma Reiko's monster power."

"And Grandpa Asagi's monster power." Natsume Chiaya said.

Natsume Chiya raised her head and saw red gold and amber intertwined, rising, rising, touching the sky.The originally translucent and colorless sky, like a drop of colored ink suddenly, smudges and blooms changing colors, gorgeous and gorgeous.

On the edge of the world barrier, Natsume Soseki sensed a familiar atmosphere.He involuntarily looked at Amber in the sky.After a while, he whispered in surprise: "It's Reiko's demon power!"

There is also red gold... It is the phoenix that was heading towards the Armed Detective Agency just now!If he guessed correctly, it should be Reiko who said, Asagi.

"Saiki-kun, it's hard work for you here, I need to go back to the Armed Detective Agency as soon as possible." Natsume Soseki pleaded cautiously.

Saiki Kusuo nodded: 'No problem. '

"..."

On the rooftop of the Armed Detective Agency, Kong Chan's face changed drastically: "What are you doing! Are you crazy? Be my substitute, and you will die!"

"What Reiko hasn't finished, I will help her finish."

Asagi didn't even twitch his brows, if it wasn't for the gradual fading of the red-gold demon pattern, and even the color of his lips gradually turning pale, it wouldn't be obvious that his power was passing away rapidly.

According to Natsume Reiko's idea, they promote the integration of the world ahead of time, so that Kong Chan can be prevented from being swallowed by the integration of the world-this is why he has been sleeping for many years.For decades after Natsume Reiko's death, he still persisted in doing this.

Natsume Reiko originally decided to bear the price of world integration alone. The "book" is a split body of the empty cicada, using it as a medium to deceive the world.

However, lifespan does not allow it. Natsume Reiko did not wait until the day when the world merged, so she could only put her demon power in the "book" in advance, and told Asagi to wait until the day when the world merged, and let him cross the world to bring the "book" here Come.Naturally, she couldn't have expected at that time that Kong Chan would use the name in the friend's account to bring Natsume Chiaya to another world, so Natsume Takashi set out to find Asagi, prompting Asana to wake up early.

This is undoubtedly an extremely bold approach.How powerful is Natsume Reiko's demon power?No one knows.

But there is no doubt that Natsume Reiko's demon power, coupled with his demon power, is enough to provide the energy needed for world fusion.

Asagi knew that Natsume Reiko had entrusted this matter to him because she had the idea of ​​letting him continue to live.

However, looking down at Nagi, it doesn't matter that the demonic power is continuously poured into the "book".

Kong Chan froze in place: "You... Reiko... you..."

Natsume Chiaya also slightly opened her eyes: "Grandpa Asagi?"

Natsume Takashi lightly patted Natsume Chiaya on the back, and said in a low voice, "This is Grandpa Asagi's choice, Chiaya."

When he found Asagi and learned all the reasons, he also wanted to persuade Asagi.But Asagi had clearly made a decision, no matter what it was, it would be in vain.

"...Hmm." Natsume Chiya replied sullenly.Stories about monsters and humans always tend to be sad because of their longevity.Even though she has lived through countless such stories, she still feels sad about it.

She couldn't help but look at Osamu Dazai, Osamu Dazai seemed to know what she was thinking, looked back and smiled at her.

Natsume Takashi was still looking at the sky without distraction, not noticing this.On the contrary, it was Mr. Cat, who narrowed his cat's pupils and stretched out sharp nails from his cat's paws.

Suddenly, the flow of red gold and amber demon power in the sky stagnated, and a beautiful arc was formed along the sky, like a curved "rainbow".

Asagi let out a soft "Hey", looked in a certain direction, thoughtfully: "Can such an existence be born among human beings?"

The two colors in the sky quickly faded away.Immediately afterwards, a network of cracks appeared in the translucent sky, dissolving inch by inch.Fragments of the sky drifted down, shimmering like fireflies and stars.

Several figures were pieced together by the fragments of the sky.

Oda Sakunosuke's expression changed.He looked at the five children in front of him in disbelief. Their figures were translucent, indicating that they were dead.But their fresh doubts were anything but.

"Sakura, Xingsuke, Shinji, Yu, Katsumi." Oda Sakunosuke called out their names one by one.

These are the children he adopted at the beginning, but were killed by Mimic because of his carelessness.Even if he dies with André Gide, the leader of the Mimics, he can't bring them back.

And now, they reappeared before his eyes.

Oda Sakunosuke couldn't help but stepped forward, trying to touch them, but passed through their bodies.

Among them, Xingsuke, the oldest, reacted and raised a cheerful smile to Oda Sakunosuke: "Oda Saku, I didn't expect to see each other again."

The only little girl, Sakura, also smiled at Oda Sakunosuke: "Oda Saku, we are going to find our parents!"

"Yes, we will also have parents who love us in the future. Maybe who among the five of us will become brothers and sisters, hahaha."

"I'm going to leave Oda alone as you, so don't cry in secret!"

"If you cry, we will laugh at you."

The children's childish words did not contain any haze, and they never resented him at all for letting them be implicated in the conspiracy of the other world.

Oda Sakunosuke was silent for a long time.After that, he also smiled at the children: "I see."

Different figures gradually appeared.

Izumi Kyouka's parents waved to her, and Yosano Akiko saw the boy who gave her a metal butterfly card, Edogawa Ranpo was also surrounded by her parents...

These people stop for a short time, catch up with the people of the world, and then say goodbye.The crystal fragments flying all over the sky create a beautiful and fragile "dream".

Osamu Dazai stretched out his hand, and a piece of debris fell on his palm, but it didn't melt.

Natsume Chiya looked around: "Grandpa Asagi, are they...?"

Asagi withdrew her gaze, and said calmly, "When the fusion of the world is completed, the boundary between this shore and the other shore is also the most blurred moment. If I have to say it, it can be regarded as a gift from the world."

It's a pity that Asagi looked at his palm, and it was almost there.He thought he could get his wish this time.

A shard of the sky fell on his hand, followed by a hand clasped in his hand.

"Asagi." The woman with long brown hair shouted with a smile.Her appearance stayed at the age of less than 30, silently telling how short her life was.Maybe God gave her powerful monster power and extraordinary abilities, so she was destined to take away some things.

Asagi had neither sad nor happy expression: "Reiko."

Natsume Chiya saw this figure in the memory of monsters countless times, but this was the first time she saw Natsume Reiko with her own eyes.

She and Natsume Takashi shouted in unison: "Grandma Reiko."

Natsume Reiko turned her head, touched their faces, and suddenly said, "Are you Rino's children?"

Her gaze fell to the magic circle on the ground, and she suddenly fell silent.After a while, she said softly, "I'm sorry, because of my willfulness, I let you suffer such painful blood."

Natsume Takashi didn't speak.He didn't inherit the demon blood, so it wasn't him who should answer Natsume Reiko.

Natsume Qianling pressed the position of her heart and smiled slightly: "Not only pain, but also friends."

Teacher Cat snorted, "You can speak out? You didn't die at the age of 15—"

"Teacher Cat!" Natsume Chiaya interrupted him, shaking her head: "There is nothing worth saying."

"Madara?" Natsume Reiko recognized the real body of a monster she knew under the chubby three-colored cat's appearance, and she laughed: "You look much cuter than your real body. That's right, you're a little too fat, right? "

Teacher Cat exploded: "Fat? I'm not fat! It's winter hair!"

Natsume Takashi complained: "In summer, it is called winter fur, but now that the new year's festival is over, it is still called winter fur. Mr. Cat, even if you are looking for a reason, you have to find a fresh one?"

"Xia! Meow!" Teacher Cat rained down on Natsume Takashi's leg with his meow fist, which was reluctant to hit Natsume Chiaya.

Natsume Chiaya was amused.She blinked, feeling a little sleepy, but she still held her spirits up and asked, "Korachan, don't you want to say hello to Grandma Reiko?"

Kong Chan stared silently at Natsume Reiko for a long time, her voice trembling: "You have planned this for a long time? How dare you do this?"

"I'll do everything, there's nothing I dare to do. On the contrary, I have worked hard for Asagi, and I have to prepare for these after my death." Natsume Reiko smiled at Kongchan, with a bright smile that was as cheerful and sunny as before: " As I told you, your name is too short. You shouldn’t be an empty cicada, you only have one summer in your life. At least, you can be called—”

"Xingshuang." She said.

star frost?

Natsume Chiaya suddenly understood Grandma Reiko's intentions.The stars turn around once a year, and the frost falls every year when it is cold. [note 1]

This is the most simple and sincere wish from Grandma Lingzi to her friends.And she used her own efforts to realize this blessing.

Kongchan——no, Xingshuang's words were almost choked up: "How could you do it? Obviously it's a name that cannot be changed." And an impossible fate.

The name is the shortest mantra.Its name sealed its end.

"Because you want to live, don't you? As long as you think about it, you can do it." Natsume Reiko saw the friend account in Asagi's hand, and asked again: "Should Xingshuang's name still be in it?"

"Yes, the other names are returned to everyone, only Xingshuang's name is left." Natsume Qianling pinched her temples, trying her best to keep herself awake.She pushed Natsume Takashi's hand: "Brother, I don't have the strength, you can return the last name."

"But Qianya, you..."

"I'll help Chiaya-chan~" Osamu Dazai interjected at the right time, taking Natsume Chiaya's arm from Natsume Takashi's hand very naturally, letting her lean on his shoulder.

No matter how dull Natsume Takashi was, he could also sense the unusual familiarity of this black-haired young man.He looked at Osamu Dazai and asked politely, "May I ask you...?"

"I'm Dazai Osamu, Chiya-chan's boyfriend." Dazai Osamu had a harmless smile on his face, but the words he said were no less than a bomb.

The eyes of Natsume Reiko, Asanagi and Cat Teacher were sharp instantly, and even Natsume Takashi lost his gentle look after being stunned.

Seeing that something was wrong, Natsume Qianling hurriedly urged: "Brother, return your name first."

Natsume Takashi couldn't bear to embarrass his sister, and secretly planned to take Mr. Cat to "theory" with this guy who called himself Osamu Dazai later.

Asagi handed the friend's account to Natsume Takashi, and Natsume Takashi held the thick "book", skillfully spread it out in the palm of his hand, lowered his eyes and said lightly: "The one who protects me shows his name. [Note] 2]"

The pages of the book were automatically rolled up, and a page stood in the center.

Natsume Takashi tore off the only paper with his name on it, pressed it to his lips, clasped his palms together, and exhaled: "Give me back your name, Xingshuang."

The name turned into a long ink-colored streak that flew towards Xingshuang.

It's hard to describe what kind of picture it was. The brown-haired young man's expression was focused and sacred, making people unconsciously breathe lightly, for fear of disturbing him.

Xingshuang's tears fell down: "Reiko... thank you..."

Natsume Reiko smiled and replied: "I accept your thanks. As a reward, please help me take care of these two children." She pointed to Natsume Chiling and Natsume Takashi.

Xingshuang nodded vigorously: "I will definitely!"

"By the way," Xingshuang thought of something, jumped in front of Natsume Takashi, and said, "Give me the 'book'."

Natsume Takashi put it in front of Xingshuang as he said.Xingshuang lifted the cat's paw and pressed it on the friend's account.The pages of the book turned quickly, and various illustrations appeared in a "crash".

Natsume Takashi was the closest, and he was the first to recognize what appeared on the pages of the book—all monsters he and Natsume Chiaya had encountered.

In addition to C, Sanxiao, Mustache, and middle-level monsters, there is also Hishigaki who is resentful because he waited for Grandma Reiko for a long time but is innocent and easy to deceive, Lushen who has a good temper but disappears because people who believe in him are no longer there, and Sunk in the second world. Yan in Ye Village... they appear so vividly in this "book".Just seeing their pictures, Natsume Takashi can recall the story of meeting them.

But there is no name of any monster on a page, and the monster will not be restrained, nor will it be used by people with ulterior motives.

The page turned to the end and closed automatically, revealing the name on the cover——

Friends account.

After Natsume Reiko was surprised, she smiled and said, "I like this kind of account. Thank you, Xingshuang."

When she was young and ignorant, she collected the names of monsters because of loneliness, but she didn't know how precious names were to them, so she asked her younger generations to be responsible for her actions.

However, today's account of friends is just full of memories with friends - it is no longer just her account of friends, but also the account of friends of Natsume Chiling and Natsume Takashi.

Natsume Reiko realized that she was running out of time.She turned her head, raised her hand, and caressed Chaonagi's cheek with her fingers, as if she wanted to touch his demon pattern: "And you, Chaonagi. What stupid thing are you doing?"

Asagi smiled very lightly: "It's not stupid."

"Don't hold on to anything and do whatever you want, as long as you can see my thoughts." Reiko Natsume paused and said, "I'll ask you one more thing."

"Okay." Asagi didn't ask what it was, just like when she said that she wanted to change the ending of world integration, he also agreed without asking why.

Natsume Reiko said: "Help me... look at Yayuan. There, you shouldn't be disturbed by the curse spirits and demons of this world."

"Okay." Nagi said.

"I'm sorry, I have to leave you alone again." Natsume Reiko's figure gradually blurred, and she felt a little regretful: "Unfortunately, I didn't see brother——"

"Lingko!"

The door of the roof was pushed open again, and Natsume Soseki saw Natsume Reiko at a glance, and blurted out and shouted.

Natsume Reiko followed the prestige, and waved to Natsume Soseki with a bright smile: "Brother, I am very happy to meet you in this world. Then, if there is a destiny in the next life, I will be your sister?"

Natsume Soseki's complicated emotions were disturbed by Natsume Reiko's words.All his words came to his lips, and turned into a helpless and tolerant answer: "Yeah."

"..."

Natsume Chiaya clearly saw that, until she disappeared, Grandma Reiko's smile was not mixed with any sadness, it was full of joy.Grandma Reiko, who once walked alone in another world, also met her own family, friendship and love.

She pressed her heart gently, and all her emotions turned into a soft sigh.

Osamu Dazai stroked the top of her hair, and said in a low voice, "Qian Ling-chan can't ask me like this in the future. If you want to die for love, you have to be together."

How sharp is Asagi's hearing, and the sharp eyes shoot straight over.If it can be turned into substance, I am afraid that several holes have already appeared on Dazai Osamu.

Natsume Chiaya laughed dumbfounded, and wanted to answer Osamu Dazai.

However, the eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he could no longer support his spirit.The hazy drowsiness flooded in like a tide, almost drowning her.The surrounding sounds became unreachable, and before she fell asleep, she only had time to hear the calls of Osamu Dazai and Takashi Natsume——

"Qianya!"
