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

"That's——in the memory of existence and non-existence, only the slightest miracle can be glimpsed. 』

The purpose of the last time was not to find Osamu Dazai who signed Yuanxuan's signature, and the purpose this time is also not.

He just came to meet someone—he just wanted to meet Yuan Xuan.

"I went to see your movie some time ago," Dazai Osamu raised a lively tone, "Your performance in the movie is amazing!"

The boy's iris-colored eyes were filled with a smile, and when he spoke, he lowered his eyelids slightly, outlining an almost gentle expression?There was a strange aura about him--an aura of sadness or emptiness.

Yuan Xuan raised her eyes and looked into his eyes.

She still remembers herself? The last time she met the other party at the signing event, her attention was completely attracted by the orange-haired boy who was with him.

The young man was asking her how to obtain "salvation" and "liberation".

However, it is only now that Yuan Xuan realizes that Zhongya Zhongya is not the only one who wants to ask her such a question.

Does the black-haired boy in front of him also have similar thoughts? Yuan Xuan fell into silence.

Because a more mature similar outline emerged in her memory—in the event of "Fictitious Spring", she met "Osamu Dazai" on the train bound for "Aomori".

——Osamu Dazai, the leader of the port mafia.

Through Gojo Satoru, Yuanxuan knew about the transaction between Shibusawa Ryuhiko and the Supernatural Secret Service during the period when she was taken away by His Excellency King Xingshi.

So she also knows that the current leader of the port mafia is the personal doctor of the previous leader named "Mori Ogai".

So what is Osamu Dazai's identity in this world?

Gojo Satoru, who exchanged contact information with her, patiently pressed on the phone, "One of the five major cadres in the port mafia after the leader".

At that time, Gojo Satoru asked Yuanxuan why he didn't ask Shibusawa Ryuhiko directly. He said that as a supernatural being, Shibusawa Ryuhiko would know more about this than him.

Yuanxuan also understands this? She just thinks... Shibusawa Ryuhiko probably doesn't want her to ask him.

Just like after Yuanxuan came back, Shibusawa Ryuhiko did not ask her what happened between them during the time she was taken away by His Excellency King Seheung?

Sometimes, in the face of certain things, they always tacitly keep quiet.

Yuan Xuan did not confuse the Osamu Dazai in front of her with the Osamu Dazai on the train in the fictional spring incident.From the tone and eyes of Osamu Dazai in front of her, she could see that everything he experienced was different from Osamu Dazai who came in the fictional spring incident.

He didn't have the empty eyes that were almost "desperate".

As if nothing can be found, as if nothing can be obtained? Obtained - everything obtained or not obtained will not stay by his side in the end.

Those eyes even make one feel that Osamu Dazai is a man who has drawn a connection with "tragedy".

However, Osamu Dazai, who is standing in the signing venue now, has a rather lively and happy expression.

Yuan Xuan came back to her senses.

"thank you very much."

She responded to the other party calmly and briefly, and signed her pen name on the novel brought by Osamu Dazai.

When Yuanxuan handed the novel back to Osamu Dazai with both hands, Osamu Dazai smiled happily and rolled his eyes.

"You're welcome." He grandly accepted Yuan Xuan's thanks.

Ryuhiko Shibusawa, who was standing behind Yuanxuan, thought that the boy in front of him was as annoying as Gojo Satoru of the Conjuration Specialist.

"Actually," Osamu Dazai, who took back the small book, did not leave immediately, but said, "I also think that white hair suits you better."

He left a seemingly inexplicable remark.

Yuan Xuan's eyes followed his leaving back, and she subconsciously touched the end of her own hair.

She remembered the culprit of the fictional spring incident.

What makes it special? "Shuji Tsushima" who descended in Yokohama has a face exactly like that of Osamu Dazai.Yuan Xuan did know later that it was a curse spirit born from a "promise" that could never be fulfilled, but this face can also explain many things.

Osamu Dazai has quite unique abilities, and it is even possible to get in touch with other worlds and "roots".

Yuan Xuan was thinking that he might "see" something.

It's like the curse spirits condensed by those curses at the beginning also "saw" something-that's why they became "Shuji Tsushima".

After Osamu Dazai left, how many readers came in in turn to ask for autographs, and nothing special happened during the process? Until a young man walked into the cubicle.

The young man has reddish-brown hair, and his body exudes a woody and steady aura.

His name is Oda Sakunosuke.

Four years later, Yuanxuan met Sakunosuke Oda again, and she wrote a reply to him just a few days ago.

"Hello." Oda Sakunosuke said to her.

A very calm greeting, just like a stranger.

Yuan Xuan's lips moved slightly, but she couldn't think of what to say to Oda Sakunosuke. In fact, she is still not good at talking with people. Compared with talking, Yuan Xuan is more willing to write on paper .

Oda Sakunosuke suddenly said to her, "The movie is very good."

Yuan Xuan, who was signing the autograph, lowered her head, but she didn't raise her head when she heard the words.Yuan Xuan gave a soft "hmm" and said, "Haidao? The director is a very good director."

They were speaking polite and unfamiliar words.

After hearing this, Oda Sakunosuke almost subconsciously told Yuan Xuan: "You are also a very good novelist."

When Sakunosuke Oda knew that Yuanxuan was the novelist "Yuan" and that she was the author of "Memory", recalling their previous conversation in the coffee shop, Sakunosuke Oda had a complicated impression of her .

But there is no doubt that Oda Sakunosuke envied her very much.

His words made Yuanxuan lift up her face, and she finally looked directly at Oda Sakunosuke's face for the first time after meeting, and the expression on Oda Sakunosuke's face was the same as before?——a calm and gentle expression? .

As if suddenly, Yuan Xuan became relieved, her expression softened, and her tone of voice when talking to Oda Sakunosuke also changed a lot naturally.

She asked Oda Sakunosuke: "So what about you, are you starting to write novels now? Did you say that?"

When she said it, it was as if they were still friends.

Yuanxuan said to Sakunosuke Oda: "I have always thought that you must be able to become an excellent novelist."

Oda Sakunosuke said: "I will try my best."

There seemed to be an instant relief between them.

Shibusawa Tatsuhiko never expected that Yuanxuan could meet so many people who he had known before.

They seemed to come out of his memory one after another, recalling the past together with her, and everything that happened before was because Shibusawa Tatsuhiko failed to participate, or failed to participate. Things to know?.

Shibusawa Tatsuhiko was extremely displeased by this, but he restrained his emotions.

Until Yuanxuan said to Sakunosuke Oda, "Next time, make an appointment to meet in a coffee shop."

Oda Sakunosuke glanced at Shibusawa Tatsuhiko who was behind her who was silent.

Does Sakunosuke Oda know? Shibusawa Ryuhiko is the superhuman who killed the mimic Gide?——"Ryuhiko" created a large area of ​​white mist. After the mist dissipated, Gide became There was a dead body.

He is quite a dangerous superhuman.

Up to now, Oda Sakunosuke no longer regards Yuanxuan as a little girl with an ordinary life-the supernatural beings around her are even better than any supernatural beings .

She herself belongs to "this side".It is a person belonging to an unstable world.

Oda Sakunosuke remembered what Dazai had said to him before.

"She's literally the embodiment of a 'miracle'," he said.

The person who can make an existence like Dazai say such words is definitely not an ordinary person.

Oda Sakunosuke nodded, "Okay."

He remembered that Kosuke and the others (the orphans he adopted) had always liked sweets.

Bring them some cake tomorrow when you get back from the coffee shop.

Shibusawa Tatsuhiko said to Yuan Xuan, "Those two people are from the port Mafia."

Yuanxuan slightly turned his face to look at him, Shibusawa Ryuhiko couldn't see the expression in her eyes clearly, so he couldn't tell what she meant.

"Which two people?" Yuan Xuan asked.

It's not that she asked knowingly, Yuan Xuan did not immediately realize which two people Shibusawa Ryuhiko was talking about, she could only understand that "Dazai Osamu" was one of them, so what about the other?

"Osamu Dazai and... Oda Sakunosuke."

Yuan Xuan didn't expect that Oda Sakunosuke was also a member of the port mafia - he didn't smell blood at all.

Oda Sakunosuke doesn't look like someone who would hurt or rob others.

What he brought to Yuan Xuan was a harmless feeling.

However, Shibusawa Tatsuhiko told her that Oda Sakunosuke was not only a member of the Port Mafia, but was also a top killer before the end of the Great War. He was one of the top killers in Yokohama.

Yuanxuan stared at Shibusawa Tatsuhiko, she suddenly asked softly, "So what now?"

The current Oda Sakunosuke abides by the principle of "never kill anyone". Everyone says that he doesn't look like a mafia at all.

Rescue orphans, save others...

Oda Sakunosuke is making a choice - he is trying to move towards the path he desires.

Yuan Xuan's palm was placed on her chest, and there was a heart beating in her chest——beating for herself.

Beating for what she wants to get.

Yuan Xuan felt that no matter what happened before, no matter what kind of person she was before, after knowing her true thoughts, she should have the opportunity to work hard.

Just like Shibusawa Tatsuhiko before, he was also a bad existence who would randomly pull other people with different abilities into his own abilities in order to collect power stones.

Even many times, he didn't want the other party's superpowers, but simply wanted to see someone struggling with his own superpowers—no one had ever defeated his own superpowers.

It's like fate.

But Yuanxuan defeated fate.She did not accept the name of "Takiko Hime", nor did she accept the name of "Taki Yashahime", let alone become "Betian King".

She stuck to her original name, so she finally defeated King Xingshi who wanted to bewitch her.

Yuan Xuan thought, it was because she got "love".

Even if only one person said such words to her, it could make her have the courage to continue living in this world.

Because someone needs her.

Just like—the person who came in at this moment.

The white-haired boy has a slightly longer strand of hair hanging down the side of his face, his bangs are not very flat, and he wears an iron collar around his neck.

The boy was wearing a black sweater and a coat of the same color.

In fact, Atsushi Nakajima had been mentally preparing for a long time, and finally decided to come to Yuan Xuan's new book signing event.

He heard that this was the second time Yuanxuan held a signing event, but when Yuanxuan held the first signing meeting, Atsushi Nakajima was still in the orphanage, completely unable to receive any news. Any information about this signing event.

He just missed a lot of things—they hadn't seen each other for nine years.

Atsushi Nakajima grew from a young child to a teenager.

He went from being an ordinary, fragile little kid to a powerful and terrifying psychic.

Because he is not good at interacting with others, Nakajima Atsushi also failed to get specific information about Shibusawa Tatsuhiko, about the Supernatural Secret Service Division, and about Yuanxuan.

He just knows that Yuanxuan is now a novelist, she has written very famous works, her works have been loved by many people, and have even been adapted into movies.

Atsushi Nakajima also went to see a movie, a movie called "Eternal Bliss"-a movie he couldn't understand.

Even so, it does not affect Atsushi Nakajima's imagination of Yuan Xuan.After Yuan Xuan left, he often wondered if she would have stayed in the orphanage if he hadn't said that to her.

Nakajima Atsushi thinks he is a selfish good boy.

This kind of thing? Even if you just think about it, it is actually malicious to Yuan Xuan.

Because Atsushi Nakajima believes that Yuan Xuan should be living the life she wants now, and he thinks Yuan Xuan should be a happy person now.

As a loser? As a child conceived by misfortune, as a man-eating tiger who brought disaster——Atsushi Nakajima thought, maybe he shouldn't come to see her.

He couldn't help retreating.

Yuan Xuan saw his thoughts?

When Atsushi Nakajima walked into the compartment, she recognized the identity of the other party.She remembered that when he was young, Atsushi Nakajima was always wearing shabby clothes, and his skinny appearance made his already young body even thinner.

Today, Atsushi Nakajima is still a frail boy.

His skin was very pale, his figure was thin, and he looked as if he was about to shake at any time, and he couldn't even stand upright.

"so poor……"

"It's cruel..."

Yuanxuan seemed to suddenly hear a voice from nowhere, that voice was blaming her, blaming her for so many years, and had never faced Atsushi Nakajima again.

How could she treat herself so cruelly? The only friend ever.

even if……

Even Atsushi Nakajima told her that they were no longer friends.

"Dun."

The boy's name came out of her mouth.

Yuan Xuan smelled a sad breath, which continuously emanated from Atsushi Nakajima.

Atsushi Nakajima forced a forced smile on his face, and he said to Yuan Xuan, "Hello."

Yuan Xuan recalled that Atsushi Nakajima had such a cautious look when he was young. The two of them are actually the same kind. When facing many things, they were both so careful and cautious. As if afraid of those things will hurt yourself? General.

They are always easily hurt by some inconspicuous things.

When Yuanxuan heard Atsushi Nakajima's respectful words to her, she suddenly felt a little sad.

She asked the other party, "Are you still living in the orphanage now?"

Atsushi Nakajima is only 14 years old this year. Children of this age do not have the conditions to leave the orphanage and live alone.

But Atsushi Nakajima said to Yuan Xuan, "I don't live there anymore."

—I have, shamefully fled.

He fled without the slightest preparation and without any purpose. If Mr. Dazai hadn’t picked him up, he would have starved to death on the side of the road, dying like a stray wild dog, and no one would care.

But Yuanxuan thought, has she been adopted?

She didn't ask such a question bluntly, because Yuan Xuan knew very well that Atsushi Nakajima didn't want her to ask herself like this?, and when she was hesitating and silent about how to talk to him, Atsushi Nakajima explained to her : "I got a job."

"I can now support myself from work?."

When facing Yuan Xuan, Atsushi Nakajima suddenly found himself? Can't help feeling sad.

it's wired……

Even Atsushi Nakajima himself doesn't quite understand why he feels this way.

But he suddenly remembered the content of the novel. He remembered that he saw the shadow of Yuan Xuan in the protagonist Takiko Ji in the novel. He was thinking that the life Yuan Xuan is living now is really her. Hope?

Atsushi Nakajima is always thinking about things that are illogical and inconsistent.

Same thing when he was in port mafia.When faced with the enemy's begging for mercy, Atsushi Nakajima pounced on the opponent without hesitation and bit the opponent almost every time.

But after the task is over, Atsushi Nakajima will feel very regretful again. He often feels that the tiger in his body is going to swallow himself. He feels that he is being "manipulated" by something. Everything he did was not what he really wanted to do.

The same is true for the protagonist of "Taki Yasha Hime".

Her ultimate end is death.

Atsushi Nakajima suddenly remembered, why did he come to Yuanxuan's autograph session?

Even if the other party is not Yuan Xuan, even if he is not Atsushi Nakajima, he still wants to come to this signing event.Because he wanted to ask the author of the novel a question.

"Is this story a tragedy?"

— This is undoubtedly a tragedy.

People—the vast majority of people—use harsh criteria for good or bad endings.

The protagonist has gained love? Or career, then it is a good ending.If the protagonist finally dies, that would be a bad ending—even if he had fulfilled his wish and ended his obsessions when he died, that would be a bad ending.

Because the main character died.

Many people don't understand that death is neither final nor tragic.

Everyone will usher in the same destination, nothing in this world is eternal, even God will usher in death, but death does not mean that everything is over.

Yuan Xuan asked Atsushi Nakajima, "Do you think this story is a tragedy?"

Atsushi Nakajima pursed his lips, yes, he thought so.

But Yuan Xuan said to him, "It's not."

She saw Atsushi Nakajima's heart, and she suddenly understood that the other party came to ask her for help.

Yuan Xuan unconsciously asked him for help when he was young, but now their identities have changed—Yuan Xuan has grown up, but Atsushi Nakajima is still that young child.

He was still groping for everything in confusion and pain.

The time allocated to each reader at the book signing is limited, and Yuan Xuan couldn't keep talking with Atsushi Nakajima in the cubicle, but she suddenly stood up and took Atsushi Nakajima's hand.

"Can you stay and wait for me?"

Yuan Xuan wanted to talk slowly with Atsushi Nakajima after the signing session.

Just like it was a long time ago.

Young?'s immature voices will flow into each other's ears, and they can hear each other's voice clearly.Just a little bit closer, Yuan Xuan may become "family" with Atsushi Nakajima.

Because they have very similar attitudes towards the world.

At that time, everyone was feeling confused and afraid of this world.

Yuanxuan finally waited for the last reader of this autograph session?.

She asked Atsushi Nakajima to wait for her in the lounge of the venue first, and specially asked the security personnel at the signing venue to help take care of Atsushi Nakajima.

Nakajima, who was entrusted to take care of him, urged embarrassingly that there was no need for such trouble.

Yuan Xuan thought, after signing the novel of the last reader, she can go to Atsushi Nakajima.

The readers this time? They are not natives.

Because thinking that this is the last book, Yuan Xuan's mood? She couldn't help but relax. She said something casually, and the other party smiled softly. Good impression.

"Did you see it?" The young man's voice carried a smile.

Hearing the sound, Yuan Xuan raised her eyes and glanced at him.

The young man seemed to be very afraid of the cold, so he wore a thick fur-collared cloak and a black felt hat on his head. Take off your hat and cloak.

A few strands of black hair protruded from the brim of the felt hat, falling a little messily on both sides of his cheeks.

The young man with a pair of violet eyes laughed happily.

He told Yuan Xuan, "I am Russian."

Russia is a country that has been soaked in ice and snow for many years, so there is an exaggerated joke that the average person tears a bear with his bare hands, but the young man in front of him looks extremely pale and sick.

Unlike Atsushi Nakajima, this young man's paleness was not due to inner timidity - he was more likely to be in poor health.

Yuan Xuan thought of Wu Mi who was cursed and unable to live beyond the age of 20.

The same or similar fate always falls on different people.

When the young man handed the novel he brought to Yuan Xuan for signature, Yuan Xuan noticed that his fingernails seemed to have bitten uneven marks.
