With too many knives, I was forced to save the world

"Then, see you later."

The boy with short black hair smiled and said goodbye to the others one by one holding the documents of this experiment. After going out, the curvature of the corner of his mouth rose a little, and he looked more real.

Before he had walked for a long time, he saw a young man waiting under the tree. He was carrying a small suitcase and wearing a coat that was out of season, but he didn't look bulky. On the contrary, because of his straight back and elegant figure, he looked like a It was a model who appeared in a fashion magazine in late autumn.

I don't know if it's the tacit understanding between them, but before the black-haired boy approached to prepare for a "surprise", the young man caught his figure with slightly sideways eyes, he bent his eyebrows and called out "Rin Taro".

"teacher."

The boy named Lin Taro responded with a smile, and immediately asked, "Where are you going this time?"

"It's just a nameless town."

The young man took out a ring from his coat pocket, "If this is a game, then this ring is the mission item we will give this time."

It was a very broken ring, the material was neither gold nor silver, Morin Taro recognized at a glance that it was not bought from a counter, it was more like polished by himself, the workmanship was extremely rough, even the round shape when erected was not Not round enough.

"...Teacher, you made promises to others again."

Mori Taro is not surprised by this, he intentionally showed distressed expression.

The young man just smiled and rubbed his head, "After all, compared to running around without purpose, at least have a goal, don't you?"

This is about his career, or in other words, it cannot be described as a career.

A wandering doctor who lives in no fixed place and treats people along the way.

Although he prefers to use, "I just want to travel around, see more different scenery, and treat diseases and save people by the way." To describe what he is doing now.

"Besides..." the young man said slowly, "Maybe there will be a good story to tell."

He looked at the gleaming ring, and his expression showed some anticipation for the unknown, but he thought it must be a beautiful story.

"Let's go then."

Morintaro put away the deliberately made expression, smiled and held the document in one hand, and helped his teacher carry the suitcase with the other hand.

The case is very light.

Probably just some necessary daily necessities.

"I know Rintaro will accompany me, so I have already bought the ticket."

Shizhi took out two tickets from his all-purpose coat pocket.

"...Knowing that I can't refuse at all."

Morin Taro looked at the young man showing a faintly smug expression, his elegant and stable temperament that he gave people at first glance was suddenly broken, and he appeared more lively instead.

"Well, it's a good thing to be able to enjoy this vacation with the teacher." Morin Taro did not deny that it was a relaxed and pleasant thing for him to stay with young people, and of course..."Besides From the medical theoretical knowledge that stays in the letter, with the teacher, you can learn more practical application."

"Oh... Rintaro is indeed a student with pursuit."

Shizhi naturally knew that Lin Taro was just saying nice things. After all, this student was smart enough and his medical skills were superb enough... But, which teacher would not enjoy students flattering himself!

So Lin Taro is indeed a child who is very good at pleasing the teacher... Shizhi smiled lightly, and he and Morin Taro went to the station side by side.

There were very few people in the train they were traveling in. Tokie and Morin Taro sat side by side on the seats. Tokie looked at the scenery that was constantly moving outside the window. From time to time, there were flowers and leaves falling from nowhere. tap lightly on the glass.

"It's really a wonderful thing to change a story with a trip."

Shi Zhi spoke softly.

"Then for the teacher, in which story do I exist?"

Morin Taro lay on the table, tilting his head and raising his eyes slightly, like a boy on campus taking a nap on the table during the break between classes.

But why not.

"Rintaro's story..."

Shi Zhi dragged his chin with one hand, tilted his head, and looked at him slightly. Behind him were flying flowers and fallen leaves outside the window glass. His eyes were shining, like Morin Taro often saw through the window on the street. The long and narrow eyelashes are like a layer of candy wrappers covering it, just looking at it made him feel a little bit of sweetness.

Morintaro watched the young man quietly, waiting for the story he was about to tell.

"Once upon a time there was a room that was very warm and bright."

The young man whispered in a gentle tone like reading a bedtime book.

"It's open to anyone who comes."

"Everyone who passes by, whether they are tired or not, can go in and have a rest. They feel that this room is warm and bright, and they praise the generosity and gentleness of the owner."

"But the owner is not happy."

Morin Taro closed his eyes slightly, probably because the teacher's voice was too gentle, and the fragrance was too pleasant, he looked a little sleepy.

"...As expected, listening to the teacher tell a story is like listening to bedtime reading."

The young man just looked down at him quietly, without complaining about his words, and continued: "The owner of the house doesn't know what the meaning of his hut exists, and he doesn't know what he is going to do every day."

"Until one day, the owner of the house had a whim, and he moved it to create the only corner in the room that was not illuminated by light. He began to clean this corner every day."

"Gradually, the owner of the house began to like to rest in this corner. Although there is no light here, it is very dark...but because the outside is bright except here, this place has become a special existence."

Forest Taro smiled and asked, "Is one corner enough?"

The young man leaned closer, and Morintarou saw his eyebrows in those candy-like pupils.

"yes……"

"Because the room is too small."

Morin Taro opened his eyes slightly, and instead of telling a story, the young man's demeanor and tone were gentle and affectionate, as if he was confessing.

Because the room is too small, this dark corner is enough.

He smelled the faint herbal fragrance, and slowly laughed lowly, "But there is mold growing in that corner, because it is backlit, and the darkness is so deep, the owner who is used to the light will really stay just because he is special. down?"

"Yes...he will try his best to make small flowers bloom in this corner. After all, there are plants that love darkness...but he will not try to introduce light, because in that case, the small flowers may not be able to bloom."

The young man's voice was calm and soft, and immediately he took out a candy from his pocket and gently placed it on the table.

"Then this candy can be used as a reward for a good student who listens to the story obediently~"

He chuckled and teased his lovely students with an almost teasing tone.

"Well... Actually, I hope it's not a candy, but..."

Morin Taro's voice still has the unique clarity of a young man. His clean eyes lightly swept over the young man's eyebrows and lips, and finally landed on the tall man who was usually covered by a coat or underwear because of the angle. Adam's apple covered by collar...

He rolled his eyes slightly.

"A hug or a photo."

The young man talked about his secrets in a young voice, something that could not be called a desire.

The young man was taken aback.

Immediately smiled and said, "You can be more greedy, for example...all my love."

"Of course, this is the only thing I can give you."

The young man raised his eyes and looked at the other party quietly. He smiled slightly, "I already have it, don't I?"

"……teacher."

The end of this journey arrived as promised. It was a remote town, but it was also the place Shi Zhi was most familiar with and was most often at.

The youth once said that he didn't like overly prosperous towns.

Forest Taro is different, he is like a fish in water in the noisy world.

But he will still follow his teacher to collect all kinds of stories and write them in the record book called Journey.

But first and foremost about dinner...

I heard that you have to climb over the mountains to see the town that is far away from all the hustle and bustle. Shizhi looked at the gurgling river in front of him, and the carefree fish playing under the transparent water not far away, and proposed with a smile: " I didn't bring any food, not to mention walking for so long, it's a little hot, right...so how about a competition to see who catches more fish."

"...Teacher, even if you catch it, how do you cook it?"

Morintaro, who only brought the documents, which is now stored in the suitcase, asked a question.

"Of course—" Shi Zhi took out the lighter from his all-purpose coat pocket, "Grill fish."

"So why do you carry a lighter with you?"

"Of course it's because... I expected this moment in advance."

...Who would believe it?

I probably just picked it up because I thought it might come in handy.

However, Morin Taro obediently rolled up his trouser legs. Fortunately, his trousers were looser and could be easily rolled up to his knees, revealing his smooth calves.

He took off his shoes, looked at Shi Zhi who was thinking about how to get into the water because he was wearing too thick clothes, he couldn't help laughing, and immediately got into the water one step ahead of him.

Water splashes everywhere.

Morin Taro seemed to see the emotion called "cunning" in the young man's eyes through those flying water drops.

……Well.

He smiled and easily caught the fish with his steady, precise and ruthless skills.

Immediately he threw the fish to the shore, and the young man caught it knowingly, and then put the fish into a convenience bag.

So... why are there convenience bags?

Morin Taro sighed with emotion, and immediately his eyes were attracted by a fish in the distance.

This fat.

With a conclusion in his mind, he walked to a deeper place.

Shizhi on the shore has already started to move. He tried to build a simple barbecue grill. He has never seen a single person on the way here. It looks like a deep mountain and old forest, but...it is really suitable for vacation.

He looked at Morintaro's active figure in the water.

Suddenly the figure fell into the water suddenly, splashing a large amount of water, Shi Zhi quickly dropped the things he was holding, and ran over to check.

Barely floating up, supporting himself with both arms to keep himself from falling into the water, buried in the water with only his head exposed, the young man turned his head in as much embarrassment as he wanted, and squeezed out a helpless and distressed expression.

Shi Zhi only had time to take off his coat, revealing the thick shirt that was completely out of season underneath, and he stepped into the water without even turning up his trousers.

The water temperature that is even the most suitable for cooling down for ordinary people is a bit cold for him.

He frowned almost inaudibly, and immediately went all the way to Morin Taro.

"Are you okay?"

"It seems that the foot was bitten by some creature."

Morin Taro looked at the water surface and said in distress, "But it's nothing serious."

Shi Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, "Rin Taro, you were bitten and injured by an unknown creature in the wild, what should you do at this time?"

As he spoke, he added another sentence: "It's when I'm in front of you."

Morin Taro didn't understand what he meant by the last sentence, the boy thought he was testing himself, and said: "The moment you notice it, first look at what kind of creature caused the wound. If you can, it's best to catch it, and then find clean water to heal the wound. wash……"

"wrong."

Shi Zhi said with a smile.

Morin Taro looked up at him in a daze.

The young man said seriously, "The test center is at the back."

"At this time, you should first shout, "Teacher, it hurts..." or something. "

He smiled and said something that didn't fit the two of them at all.

Morintaro blinked.

Then he suddenly loosened the strength to support himself, and the whole person sank into the water.

Shi Zhi went to get him, but was a little late.

Suddenly a hand grabbed his leg, and Shi Zhi was dragged down by the whole person, because he was unprepared and was dragged into the water at once, until his whole body was wet, Shi Zhi barely poked his head out of the water.

Another head poked out.

"It's all wet, teacher."

Morin Taro's purpose is to hold grudges.

"...Rin Taro isn't much better either."

The two looked at each other's hair soaked and stuck to their faces, and laughed at each other tacitly.

In the end, they enjoyed a meal of grilled fish and grilled their clothes along the way.

Morintaro discovered very early on that his teacher's thick clothes were not because he often stayed far away from the town, the temperature was relatively unbalanced, and he would also encounter mosquitoes in remote mountain forests that needed to be tightly packed.

He is very afraid of the cold.

Forest Taro knows.

But he didn't expect that even in such hot weather, the teacher would feel so cold just because of being in the water.

He looked at the youth's pale face and discolored lips, and he had a new understanding of it.

Morintaro's clothes are thin and dry quickly, so he puts them on.

The clothes the young man wears are not thick, and they dry quickly, but just a thin layer is obviously not enough for the young man.

Morin Taro smiled at his teacher in front of the hot, burning flames: "Teacher, I promised a hug earlier, let's honor it."

In addition to reflecting him, the young man's eyes also reflected a little fire.

It's a beautiful color.

"Okay."

Hugging is for two people to feel the warmth of each other, but now this hug is endowed with a warmer temperature.

By the river, before the fire.

In this quiet square inch of heaven and earth.

The temperature spreads gradually.

The teenager fell asleep leaning against his teacher, but he still maintained a half-hugging posture.

The young man corrected his posture, and let the young man lean into his arms in an almost embracing gesture, trying to make him more comfortable.

Immediately, he stretched out his hand slightly, touched the pocket of his coat, and took out some insect repellent herbs that he always had.

So the night slipped away.

Early the next morning, it was still daylight.

When Morin Taro woke up, he saw that the young man had already cleaned up the scene, and waved to him with a smile while carrying the suitcase.

They continued the journey.

Morin Taro just stood up, the pain in his feet made him twist his ankle, luckily the creature that bit him didn't carry any toxins, he just got bitten and took the opportunity to cheat himself into the water, in fact it wasn't serious at all.

With a smile on his face, he sat back down again.

"Teacher, it hurts so much."

He smiled and said that the young man's voice said such words, as if he was acting like a baby.

Shi Zhi was slightly taken aback.

The young man walked over, and he bent down, "Do you want me to hug you? Or carry it, my physical strength is still very good."

After all, we are climbing mountains and mountains every day.

"……It will be all right."

The young man watched the young man approaching, his eyes wandered for a moment without knowing what he thought of, and even his voice trembled for some reason.

In the end, of course, I carried it on my back.

The young man stared at the slightly curled light chestnut hair at the back of the young man's neck. It was a soft type at first glance. Along the hair was a white neck, which was very white, and it was even more delicate and flawless when viewed closely.

The slight herbal fragrance spreads.

He moved forward and put his head close to the crest of his neck, "Teacher... how far do you have to go?"

Although... I don't want to go to the end.

It took absolutely no effort for the young man to carry the young man on his back, and he even had one hand free to carry the luggage.

"very soon."

And as he said.

The town in front of me slowly came into view.

It is remote, sparsely populated and dilapidated.

Shi Zhi placed Morin Taro in front of the tree at the entrance of the village, and began to ask someone.

He holds that ring.

Glittering in the sun.

Morin Taro looked at the figure of the young man, and then at the ring.

It is supposed to symbolize a promise, and it is made into a ring shape. We often see rings with some promotional terms such as putting on a person is equivalent to trapping a person.

... Indeed, it is a bit beautiful, symbolizing the meaning of love.

Shi Zhi came back holding the ring.

His expression didn't look very clear.

"Ah... I found it, the place where I want to take this ring."

He said, "This ring is the last relic given to me by a gentleman I saw before ... He has a terminal illness that I cannot cure."

"He said, "I don't have anything valuable, except for the photos and the things I used, there is nothing to testify that I have lived. Only this ring, which I made when I was young, carries my love. , but didn’t have the courage to send it out.”

Forest Taro understood, and he said: "So... this story is about a person who thinks of the person he loves the most when he is about to die, so please ask the teacher to send a relic to the person he loves?"

Shi Zhi didn't admit it or deny it, he traced the boy's eyebrows with his eyes, and then spoke slowly after a while.

"He uses the ring as a bearer, hoping that I can take a look for him to see if the person he loves is still safe."

Shi Zhi smiled, "This gentleman is a very interesting person. He thinks that his soul will be attached to the ring after death, because he has carried it all his life, and they have already merged into one."

"So please, I must wear the ring."

Shi Zhi looked at the ring, as if he had cast it again and saw the gentleman. Perhaps it was true as he said, after a person dies, he would carry his soul in the closest thing to him. Otherwise, why would the ring be so obvious? So rough, yet so bright.

"Then... what did the teacher find out? The expression just now looked very unhappy."

Forest Taro asked.

Shizhi vigorously climbed up the tree behind Morin Taro, he stood on the thickest branch, and in that direction, behind him was the village, and in front of him he could see the distant land boundary.

"This direction is the direction we came from, and it is also the direction where that gentleman is."

He took bundles of slender rope, twisted it into one, threaded it through the ring and wrapped it around the branch.

"I hope you can see the person you miss."

Shi Zhi slowly descended the tree.

Although he doesn't look very strong, his skills are extremely vigorous and flexible.

"Let's go?"

Shizhi said to Morin Taro, "Just take it as a trip."

"Won't you stay for a while?"

"No, because the gentleman will stay here."

Morintaro stood up, there was nothing wrong with his foot injury at all, he was just... a little greedy.

"Let's go teacher."

They set foot on the way back again.

Before leaving, Morin Taro looked up at the ring hidden among the branches and leaves on the tree, which seemed to be still shining.

Until looking from the entrance of the village, they could no longer be seen.

Shi Zhicai said, "They told me that there has never been anyone here that the gentleman is looking for, and there have been no outsiders here for decades. After all, it is too remote and too rugged."

"...Is it a lie?"

"Maybe it's just that she hasn't arrived."

Shi Zhi looked up into the distance.

"After all, as they said, there have been no outsiders here for decades, so why can she accurately tell the address here?"

Shi Zhi smiled and drew a beautiful end to this story.

"...It's just a pity that I didn't hear the story of waiting with love, ring, and parting...regret with cowardice."

He seemed to be genuinely emotional about it.

"...Speaking of it, he is still not firm enough. If it were me, if I really liked her, I would have made up my mind not to let her leave from the very beginning."

Morintaro said, "Whatever it takes."

His eyes showed disdain for that gentleman.

Shi Zhi glanced at him, but didn't judge his remarks too much, he just said: "But speaking of it, if it were me, I might spend my whole life in such an unknown place when I get old."

"Where's Rintaro?"

Morintaro just looked at him.

After a long time, he said: "... Maybe I won't."

And as he said, he and Shi Zhi are not from the same world after all, it's just that he stepped into that world for a while.

"Teacher, from tomorrow onwards, I will go to participate in the battle, as a military doctor."

Even the voice of the more handsome and mature young man became more reliable and a little deeper.

"Be careful."

"Rintaro."

--------------------

The author has something to say:

6Q here.

It starts with Tokie's first sentence shouting "Rin Taro" and ends with "Rin Taro".

In fact, Mori envied Dazai's intimate hug later, but he had already had it.

I originally wanted to divide it into two chapters, but after thinking about it, the extra stories were merged into
