The bosses cry and put down the butcher knife

This is... an obvious conspiracy.

When looking at Keiko Arisugawa's face and her calm expression, everyone realized this.

Whether it is to gain sympathy, or to prove herself... This kind of behavior may cause the judges to tilt their attitude toward her, or it may be the opposite.

Either way, the audition doesn't stop there.As another party involved, Kise Ryota's mood was more chaotic than others.

He stared blankly at the other person walking towards him, his eyes fell on the scarred face, and he didn't know how to react for a moment.

"Sorry, Kise-kun," Keiko Arisugawa approached the other party, put the mask made of personality back on her face, and bowed to him, "Please start."

"Ah, oh, no problem." After all, he is a public figure who is used to various emergencies, Kise Ryota nodded quickly, "Then let's start."

"this……"

"Go, before that guy comes over."

It was still the same beginning as the first round, but when Keiko Arisugawa spoke, the sound of breathing in the entire studio disappeared for a moment.

The voice of "Sara Shuangshu" didn't have any ups and downs, but at that moment, the bystanders felt a tiny pain like a needle prick.The pain she has experienced in these years, on this absurd reunion day like drama, in front of the old man, finally reflects an extremely fine line.

"Saburo Hayakawa" was also stunned for a second, and when he came back to his senses, the woman in front of him had already taken a step ahead.

The two walked through a section of ruins full of potholes. When they approached the exit, Saburo Hayakawa fell halfway to the wall due to the loss of strength caused by the shock.

Even when he fell down, he still instinctively protected his new wife in his arms.Shaluo Shuangshu turned their heads at the same time, just in time to catch this scene in their eyes.

Of course she wasn't jealous, or had other similar emotions—or, at this time, did she have any position, qualifications, or reasons to induce such ridiculous emotions?

This man no longer belonged to her, just like she was no longer the Shaluo she used to be.Today's encounter was just an accident, and the reason why she saved him was no different from saving other people in the past.

If she had to find out the difference, it would be that after a moment of hesitation, she still stretched out her hand, trying to hold the other party.

Then Saburo Hayakawa, who was in a panic, pulled the mask off his face.

Under the mask is a thick bandage, so she will not reveal her true face.What's more, that face has long since become as ugly as a ghost, and no one in this world will recognize it except herself.

However, at the moment when the mask was separated from the body, Shaluo Shuangshu was still stunned.

Panic, anger, instinctive impulse, or something else.The moment the bumpy bandaged face was completely exposed, the woman shot without hesitation and grabbed the back of the man's neck.

The men opened their eyes wide, and each other's pupils fell into each other's eyes.He struggled in vain for a few seconds, and finally passed out.

Then Shaluo Shuangshu came back to his senses, and let go of his hand as if he had been scalded.Before the other party was about to fall and hit his fiancée, he grabbed him again.

Then, put the person gently on the ground.

"OK! It's done!"

In the next second, director Suzuki's satisfied voice sounded beside him.And the faces of the other two directors also showed expressions of approval.

——They were almost completely introduced into this scene, including Kise Ryota who was the person involved.The blond boy was getting up from the ground, but his expression was clearly not showing.

Unlike Minamoto Chiyo, who was like a template but was still just an "imitation" performance, Keiko Arisugawa really showed a vivid "Sara Shuangshu" who seemed to have come out of the play.

At this time, although there are still two people who have not auditioned, in the hearts of most people, this role has already belonged.

Frankly speaking, Keiko Arisugawa may still not be called an "excellent actor".But just like Ryota Kise, for the role of Sara Shuangshu, she has an undoubted personal advantage.

Arisukawa Keiko and Kise Ryota nodded goodbye, the latter's expression was still a little dazed.Oda Miyuki stood on the sidelines, feeling sympathetic or other meanings from the surrounding eyes, falling on him——

For the next person auditioning, this is not a very good start.

In other words, until the audition started this morning, no one expected that such an "accident" would happen.

As the center of sight at the moment, Oda Miyuki walked into the venue quickly without paying attention to other people.Seeing her coming, Kise Ryota greeted her subconsciously, "Wei——"

He didn't finish his sentence.

In a blink of an eye, the person who was standing a few meters away had already appeared in front of him.When Kise Ryota came to his senses, he was pushed against the wall behind him, and a cold female voice sounded in his ears: "Don't move."

"..."

Kise Ryo was too stiff.

Something cold seemed to be touched on the side of the neck, or it was just an illusion.The boy suddenly found it difficult to breathe, as if his chest and abdomen were tightly strangled by his hands, every cell was filled with stiffness.

Then he was let go: "Go, before that guy comes over."

Kise Ryo opened her mouth too much, and the syllable that should have been pronounced here was only left with a vague pronunciation.He almost instinctively followed the other person for a step, and then suddenly realized——

I actually got into the show like this?

The memory of the play with Keiko Arisugawa a few minutes ago was like a puddle of water that was directly blasted, and nothing remained.Only those gray eyes remained in the boy's mind, sharp, cold and separated from something, like the surface of a mirror after coating.

People can't help but want to touch it, and when they touch the cold temperature of the glass, they let it go.

The girl in front had already walked several meters, and the man who recovered quickly followed.Because he was holding his unconscious wife, he inevitably stumbled.

But the person who led the way didn't look back at all, as if she really only came for the news of BJ; like every time she rescued the victims in the past, she never stopped.

Ryota Kise - Saburo Hayakawa reluctantly followed for a few minutes, and finally fell down due to exhaustion when turning a corner.He subconsciously protected his wife in his arms, closed his eyes, and waited for his back to hit the cold concrete floor.

However, someone grabbed him.The young man suddenly opened his eyes, and met another pair of eyes——

Those eyes that occupied all his thoughts just a few minutes ago.

Perhaps it was the desire to survive, or some kind of sudden impulse, he stretched out his hand to the owner of the eyes - and then touched something.

Almost at the same time, he saw something changed in those eyes.

That is--

"Sara Shuangshu, why do you mind your mask being touched?"

More than ten hours ago, Oda Miyuki and Dazai Osamu sat in a corner of the sofa, looking down at the same script.The young man's finger points to this description, as if asking, and speaking as if talking to himself.

As the one who got the script earlier, Oda Miyuki is already familiar with the relevant plot.The girl didn't read the script, instead her eyes fell on her boyfriend:

"My previous thoughts were because of fear, or the shadow of the past. For Sha Luo Shuangshu, revenge is the meaning of the second half of her life. In the process, she got deeper and deeper in the nightmare of the past, until finally Sink into the mud."

Osamu Dazai didn't make any comments, and looked like he was waiting for the next one.

Oda Miyuki touched his face: "However, I'm a little uncertain now—except for this scene, Sara Shuangshu has been wrapped in bandages since then, but he didn't wear a mask."

And that mask was brought out by Shaluo Shuangshu from the convenience store downstairs of the hotel before they acted at night.

The black-haired young man turned two pages back, and then murmured: "Indeed. However, since there is nothing special about the mask itself, the reason why she wears it should be for the purpose of 'covering up'."

On the premise of already wearing a bandage, something that still wants to be covered up...

"If it's not appearance, it can only be emotion."

After a brief silence, Oda Miyuki answered.

The two looked at the script on Osamu Dazai's lap together. On the spread page, it was the plot where Saburo Hayakawa subconsciously fainted after Sara Shuangki's mask was pulled off.

"...Is it love?" The girl hesitated, but logically, "However, Shaluo Shuangshu clearly—"

"Maybe it's because it's too ugly." Osamu Dazai said suddenly.

Since he took off his suit when he entered, the young man only had a white shirt on him.He put the script on the table, then stretched:

"So the answer has already appeared, that is: Shuangshu Shaluo still loves Saburo Hayakawa."

silence.

This was Oda Miyuki's thought just now, but she wasn't sure.However, Osamu Dazai seemed to have figured it out, and his tone became lighter:

"A bandage or a mask, if it's just to hide your identity, you only need one."

Rather than saying "live in the eyes of others", human beings should say "care about what they see in their own eyes, and the eyes of others cast on themselves".

Shaluo Shuangshu has indeed abandoned her appearance, and she doesn't even regard herself as a human being.Because if you want to kill a demon, it's just an ordinary "human hatred", it's impossible.

This point has been repeatedly described in the script with concrete words.However, these descriptions are all based on "the evil ghost Sharo who returned from hell after being resurrected from the dead".

Then, before the fire, the girl who had a bright future and a bright future——

Is there anything left?

Dazai Osamu looked at Oda Miyuki beside him, and in those kite-colored eyes, there was a frivolous smile floating in the air:

"The existence of the mask is just a barrier she uses to deceive herself. What she cares about is not whether others will see her face, but..."

Only the body wrapped in bandages is still very ugly.

If you put on a mask again, any gaze cast on yourself will not fall on your true self.

And she only wore the mask once, and only faced the eyes of this person.It's like a non-human creature trying to put on a human skin and hide its ugly side, even if the other party doesn't know anything at all.

Oda Miyuki looked at each other, and for the first time since they knew each other, they were very convinced that they had almost the same thoughts:

Even though his soul was engulfed by the flames of hatred, somewhere deep in his heart, Sara Shuangshu still loved Saburo Hayakawa.

It is not the so-called nostalgia for the old, nor is it nostalgia for the past that has never been destroyed.

It was a mask that was only worn on this person. Perhaps that emotion seemed weird to others, but from the most obvious and direct point of view——

That is indeed "love" without a doubt.

So, at the moment when the mask was taken off, Shaluo Shuangshu made a choice.

"I can never stop loving you," Dazai said, "but..."

Oda Miyuki looked at the man in front of him, and couldn't help repeating his words.So the soft sentence, like a love language, was read from the mouths of two people at the same time:

"I'm going to lose that feeling completely."

"However, I will completely...lose this feeling."
