A guide to self-rescue for animals in hell

"Pursue people because of ideas, and pursue ideas because of people. The difficulty of persuasion between the two is not at the same level. Although the two sisters are the latter, but if I show up for you, even if I say it is only you And what they know may not be enough to win their trust."

After listening to Xia Youjie's general experience, Qingzi realized the problem that she hadn't considered before, and her face showed embarrassment.

She has always been able to identify speech skills, rather than use them. If she is allowed to come, I am afraid that it will not be enough to achieve the desired effect.

Then all that was left was to undo the little magic on Xia Youjie's body and let him negotiate with the two sisters by himself.

The problem is that Xia Youjie can be seen after unlocking the small spell.So you have to find a good time to do it.

"Hold it down for now, just in case... I'll go and have a look after a while." Haruko rubbed her forehead, still worried.

Xia Youjie made a lot of noise during his lifetime, and his identity and experience are special and sensitive.

At this time, if someone really came to instigate these subordinates of him, I'm afraid the plan is not small.

The speeches I heard that day didn't have much information, and I could only get a glimpse of it from "inheriting Lord Xia You's will".

"Is their purpose..."Kill all non-magicians"? Haruko said to herself, and looked up to the other side as if remembering something.

As expected, Xia Youjie frowned, as if some pain switch had been triggered.

"I've inquired about it, and your material should be enough to cut three issues. That is to say, when Xia Xiu returns to Hell, he still won't be able to escape, so don't worry—" Haruko's bad taste gained the upper hand again for a while, Conversely comforted.

Seeing that Xia Youjie's complexion was getting darker and darker, Qingzi changed the topic in a timely manner: "It should be almost time."

A notification sound came from her mobile phone on the table, and Haruko walked out after confirming the message.

The detective agency has a commission that is suspected to have a curse spirit and needs Haruko's assistance to complete it. Osamu Dazai and Kunikida will accompany him.

It is now the third day after returning from Tokyo, and everything is moving forward peacefully, without waves.

……

To be honest, before Osamu Dazai jumped off the bridge beside him, Haruko thought so.

This incident itself was too sudden. Suddenly, after the mission was successfully completed, when Haruko was still seriously considering the plan proposed by Osamu Dazai, the proposer of the plan on the other side had already fallen into the water, and there was a lot of splash .

"Ah?" Haruko was stunned for a second, she had been here for a long time, and she had more or less contacts with the detective agency.

In terms of usual commissions, she has collaborated with Atsushi Nakajima and Kunikida the most times... This is the first time she has participated in a mission involving Osamu Dazai.

Haruko supported the railing by the bridge with her hands, and jumped into the water to save others.

With her physical fitness and the fact that she was wearing a kimono today, it took a little effort to drag Osamu Dazai ashore.

what is happening?Haruko looked at the circles of bandages wrapped around Osamu Dazai's wrists and neck, at first she thought they were just special decorations, but now it seems that it is not so simple.

Just now...just now she almost thought that Osamu Dazai had other ideas to make such a move, and she almost didn't jump down to save him.

After a while of fear, Haruko looked at her wet kimono, and thought, "It's better to beat him up." The thought went straight to her brain, and when she was about to implement it, she was suppressed by the master with the last ounce of reason.

"Why did you do this, Mr. Dazai." Haruko sat next to Osamu Dazai with her knees hugged, originally thinking that he would not respond to her.

"Guess? Ms. Haruko actually jumped down with me. It's really touching. How about next time..."

Before Osamu Dazai finished speaking, Kunikida, who had been ordered to buy drinks over there, came back with a shopping bag.

He looked at the two people whose bodies were covered with drops of water, and he could almost guess what happened just now at a glance.

"Dazai!" Kunikida yelled furiously, "I thought Miss Haruko could keep you safe, and now she's letting her jump down to save you!"

"Yes yes yes—" Osamu Dazai elongated his tone lazily, as if he didn't take Kunikida's words to heart at all.

"I'm very sorry, Dazai has caused you trouble." Kunikida bowed and apologized, his sincerity was in stark contrast to the person next to him who had already started to open the drink lid.

"It's okay..." Haruko, who was distracted by Kunikida's familiar and sophisticated apology, glanced at Osamu Dazai who was already squinting his eyes and started to drink happily, and asked, "Mr. Dazai, is this always like this?"

"Yeah, this guy is a repeat offender." Kunikida raised his hand and pushed down his glasses, and his tone returned to his usual calm.

recidivist?To make Kunikida, who has always been rigorous and never exaggerated, use this word... Haruko also has a point in her heart.

She shook off the water droplets on her body. Fortunately, she was not too far away from the detective agency at this time, and she could take care of it after returning.

After changing into a new kimono, Haruko opened the door and walked out. Seeing that Kunikida seemed to be handling the finishing work of the entrustment, she shifted her gaze to the right, and Dazai Osamu was nestling on the sofa, was he... resting?

Sure enough, I still care a little bit.

Every cell in her body seemed to be yelling at Haruko, don't go over there, maybe you will be infected with new troubles after you go over.

If she had encountered this kind of thing when she was in hell before, she could have walked over without squinting.

Haruko slowly moved to the sofa opposite Osamu Dazai, and when she was trying to think of a suitable opening sentence to open the topic, the other party stepped forward instead: "Miss Haruko, do you want to ask something I didn't answer just now?"

Haruko, who intuitively felt that Osamu Dazai seemed to have malicious intentions, nodded cautiously.

The person sitting across from him also sat up straight at this moment, his iris-colored eyes were smiling at her: "I don't know how you think about the simple ideas I talked to Ms. Haruko before."

"I don't have a problem, but this requires a suitable timing that won't attract suspicion." Haruko noticed something was wrong just after she finished speaking, and stared at Osamu Dazai who was smiling innocently, "Mr. Dazai..."

Changing the subject again.

"Haha, I said before that Haruko looks like a real freshman in high school, but she doesn't look like a 21-year-old at all."

Osamu Dazai chuckled twice, and the eyes fixed on Haruko somehow had a tenderness that he had never seen before.

But this kind of feeling is too ethereal and far away, so illusory that people can't get to the ground at all.

Just as Haruko was about to say something, the person sitting opposite immediately changed her style of painting: "Ah, so Haruko should think about it carefully, about dying for love with me."

At this moment, Haruko subtly empathized with Kunikida.

"Mr. Kunikida, may I beat Mr. Dazai?" She pulled the back of the sofa and shouted at Kunikida who was still busy.

"Ah, please feel free to hit as hard as possible." Kunikida said in a flat tone, still keeping his hands.

Of course, it's impossible to fight, so Haruko just said hi, since she treats Osamu Dazai as a senior, she won't really do it.

So she sat back on the sofa and picked up the tea she had just poured, pretending to take a sip calmly.

-

The fine wine from Hell is well-known both in Hell and Heaven.

On the previous trip back to Hell, Sister Axiang gave her a lot, saying that she wanted her to take it back as a souvenir. She had already picked out the ones from her classmates. Haruko had never seen him drink the words of Wutiao teacher. liquor.

Haruko doesn't drink alcohol herself, so she helped her in this search and just gave them to him.

"During the time you went to Tokyo, there was no news of the curse spirit, and my work was going on as usual without delay." Zhong also raised his hand to support his hat, "I didn't help in any real sense. busy."

The implication is that it was originally intended to take advantage of that opportunity to repay Haruko's favor for providing information on the curse spirit, so naturally it doesn't count.

"Pfft, Chuya is really serious. That's it, I'll give you two altars first, and I'm afraid I'll have to leave Yokohama later. If you're satisfied with the reward, I'll pay for the rest. Bring it to you." Haruko took out the two jars of wine from the storage spell.

When it comes to this point, then there is nothing to continue to refuse, Chuya stretched out his hand to take it.

After working together during this period of time, he has also gained some insight into Haruko's temperament. The wine that made her say such words with such confidence should not be ordinary.

Nakaya naturally knows that his attack does different damage to the curse spirit than other supernatural beings, and he also knows that if Haruko really has something urgent to do, the only Yokohama supernatural beings who can be entrusted to him at present are probably those whose attacks are less and less restricted. Own.

Now that Haruko has been regarded as a friend, it is not a big deal that needs to be decided for a long time.

After he agreed, Haruko finally breathed a sigh of relief. If someone could help share the curse spirit in Yokohama, then she would have time to escape.

"Thank you, Zhong also helped a lot." Haruko smiled slightly.
