After writing the book, all of Yokohama wanted to hunt me down

"A white monster was born from nothingness, screaming and screaming silently.Its teeth are sharp and sharp.

The reality of being eaten is crumbling, but those around me don't know it.

This "truth" can only be seen by me. 』

The first thing Yuanxuan did when he returned to Yokohama was to find him at the coffee shop where he met Sakunosuke Oda.

As the only existence that can be called a "friend" for her now, she still remembers him even when she is traveling.

Therefore, before returning, Yuan Xuan specially prepared a present for him.

—and some postcards written during the trip.

When she gazed at those beautiful scenery, there would always be an unquenchable joy in her heart.So Yuan Xuan put all those feelings into words and left them on the postcard forever.

Regarding her thoughts, she did not hide her thoughts in front of Shibusawa Tatsuhiko.When the other party asked what she wrote for, Yuan Xuan told him happily that she wanted to give them to her only friend.

Shibusawa Tatsuhiko instantly realized who she was talking about—the young man named Oda Sakunosuke.The low-level personnel of the port Mafia (Yuan Xuan still does not know his identity).

All she knew was that when she returned to Yokohama and came to the coffee shop full of expectations to meet him, the owner of the coffee shop told her that the quiet young man with auburn hair hadn't been here for a long time.

After leaving her a letter, the boss never saw him again.

After hearing this, Yuan Xuan stood there dumbfounded. She looked at the envelope handed by the boss, and couldn't even react to the current situation for a while.

There seemed to be an intuition telling her something, and that intuition drove her to mobilize the memory in her mind.What happened in the orphanage resurfaced again, and the memory of the past made her feel cold all of a sudden.

Such a reality could not but terrify her.

She took the envelope almost tremblingly, but she didn't have the courage to open it at all.

She didn't know what she was going to read in the letter.

Yuan Xuan remembered the first friend she met after she came to this world.

That was also the first friend to leave her.

Atsushi Nakajima is a very kind child.

Oda Sakunosuke is a very kind young man.

But there is a voice in my heart saying that none of them are "friends" that Yuan Xuan can always have.

This made her want to cry almost uncontrollably.So I didn't bother to listen to the sound from the TV in the coffee shop at this time.

There is a report playing on it——

On a mountain outside Tokyo, archaeologists accidentally discovered an ancient temple.After investigation they discovered an astonishing fact.

Below that temple, in its courtyards, lotus ponds, and even in buildings, a large number of bones were found.

It was clearly human bones.

After a preliminary estimate, it was concluded that at least thousands of people were buried here.The temple of the religion named "Eternal Bliss Cult" is buried with so many human bones.

What exactly happened in that temple?

What happened in that religion?

This country, which has always had a particularly prosperous religious development, gathers people of many beliefs, and claims to have 800 million gods, suddenly suffered a slap in the face.

After this shocking news was reported, people in almost the whole country were in an uproar.

People are eagerly discussing, waiting with righteous indignation, eager to get a "truth" as soon as possible.

But Yuan Xuan, who never turns on the TV and is also disturbed by the letter left by Oda Sakunosuke, has completely separated them into two worlds.

After being brought home by Shibusawa Tatsuhiko, Yuanxuan was always in a dazed state.

She often stared at the letter, but in the end she didn't open it, and she put the letter in the bottom of the drawer.

——The next time you meet Oda Sakunosuke, give it back to him.

With such self-deceiving thoughts in mind, she took a deep breath.

At this moment, someone leaned against her back and put his palm on her shoulder. He leaned down, and his long white and cool hair brushed her neck.

Yuan Xuan felt a familiar atmosphere.

Shibusawa Ryuhiko pressed against her ear, his tone was gentle and gentle, "I want to tell you a good thing."

He turned Yuanxuan around, Shibusawa Ryuhiko lowered his eyes and looked into her eyes.

He has eyes as beautiful as rubies.

"Be happy, Xuan." Shibusawa Ryuhiko reached out to support Yuan Xuan's chin, and kissed her forehead lovingly.

His lips pressed against Yuan Xuan's skin, and his warm breath stroked her forehead, "Just look at me."

"In this case……"

You will never be sad for another person again.

The wallpaper is yellowish from tobacco smoke, and the air is filled with jazz tones.

This is a small bar.

The older bartender stood at the bar wiping glasses, and there were only two customers in the bar.A teenager, a youth.

"I said——Odasaku~"

The young man's name is actually Oda Sakunosuke, but the boy likes to call him "Oda Saku".It's a very special nickname.

The black-haired boy turned his body around, his tone was light and lively, as if something good happened.

The boy's name is Osamu Dazai.

"Ah."

Oda Sakunosuke with auburn hair responded calmly.

Osamu Dazai tilted his head when he got the response, he simply turned around and faced the motionless Oda Sakunosuke beside him.

"Have you seen the report?" When he was speaking, Osamu Dazai was almost dancing, and he said in an exaggerated tone, "A temple of a cult/religion was discovered on a mountain outside Tokyo! The archaeological team actually dug out there The corpses of thousands of people were killed!"

This is a rare occasion for Osamu Dazai, and it is indeed when he is talking about surprising and big things.

But Sakunosuke Oda was a man who could keep calm even when someone pointed a gun at his head, so even in the face of such horrific news, he just raised his head.

"It's surprising how many there are."

Oda Sakunosuke expressed his surprise without changing his face.

His surprise was not at all obvious.

But Osamu Dazai knew each other very well, "Is that right? I was very surprised when I heard it! People who will die in the temple must have gone there with the heart of seeking relief and redemption at the very beginning. That's right. Then when they are still alive, can they know that they will die like this?"

Osamu Dazai stretched out two fingers, shaking them in front of his eyes when he spoke, as if he was discussing something interesting.

This is also normal, after all Dazai Osamu - is a person who lives with death.

Facing death, he always has countless words to say.There can also be countless reactions to face.

There are a lot of white bandages wrapped around his body, and his arms, neck and even his right eye have been covered by bandages.

Why did it become like this?

Oda Sakunosuke would occasionally ask him why he had more bandages on his body.

He would say to Osamu Dazai, "Compared to last time, there seems to be a few more places."

Every time this happens, Osamu Dazai will happily share with him the process of communicating with "death".

Now it's the same--

"If possible, I still want to die refreshed and full of vigor!"

The black-haired boy who said such words looked at Oda Sakunosuke with a smile, and said, "If you die in a lie, it is the same as dying in a lump of mud! Really think about it." It makes people feel sad, and even mentioning it will make people sigh."

Oda Sakunosuke nodded in agreement.

But at this moment, Osamu Dazai suddenly changed the subject.His gaze also fell on the novel on the left hand side of Oda Sakunosuke.

"Odasaku, you seem to like this novel very much... By the way, I actually went to buy it and read it, this "Memory"."

Osamu Dazai smiled.

He often does this too, and suddenly the topic turns to a place that has nothing to do with the content of the conversation just now.But each time, Oda Sakunosuke was able to continue the conversation with him.

Because Oda Sakunosuke is a man who can't complain.

He will always follow other people's topics.

"Have you started reading other books too?" Oda Sakunosuke asked him.

Because in the impression of Oda Sakunosuke, the books that Osamu Dazai read before were either very strange recipes, or the method of falling into the embrace of death.

"Memory" may be too normal for Osamu Dazai.

Hearing that, Osamu Dazai nodded, "Because I found a very wonderful joy in it, as long as I think about it, my whole body will be excited!"

Oda Sakunosuke was a little surprised by his change, but——

"That's good too."

"I think so too." Osamu Dazai slowly lay down on the bar and laughed. His smile at this time was more quiet than lively, just like the joy left after the hustle and bustle.

"I am very interested in this author. If possible, I really hope to see her new stories written every day."

Oda Sakunosuke raised his glass, and when he heard Dazai Osamu's words, he suddenly thought of someone.

a teenage girl.

A girl who could have been a friend, or a companion.

——Is she still traveling outside now?Or is it back.

——Have you seen that letter?

A few days ago, when Yuanxuan went out to meet Sakunosuke Oda, Tatsuhiko Shibusawa also received a call.

It was from the editor-in-chief of the publishing house, Kurata.

On the phone, the editor-in-chief Kurata first asked him if he had watched the report on TV.After getting a negative answer, he simply reported the current situation to Shibusawa Tatsuhiko.

In fact, the editor-in-chief Kurata does not know the specific details, he only knows some generalities.

But only these are enough.

I don't know where it started. It seems that someone connected the "Eternal Bliss Cult" reported on TV with the "Eternal Bliss Cult" in Yuan Xuan's "Memory".

They even... also put the plot in the novel into reality and made inferences.
