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

"There are countless possibilities in a person's life, but from the countless possibilities of "you", I can only see one ending.

That is the future called "fate". 』

Mori Ogai got the permission to open the business, and he also got Yuan Xuan's personal information.

At this time, Yuan Xuan was already a well-known novelist.

The sales of her novels reached the peak at one time, and the popularity of the adapted movies increased, and she also starred in the "heroine".

The female character with the most shots in "Eternal Bliss" is only "Bie Tian Wang".From the perspective of the plot, she is indeed the heroine.

Mori Ogai used to be a black market doctor, and earlier he was a military doctor in the army, but this did not hinder his appreciation of literature.Moreover, he read from Yuan Xuan's novels something beyond novels.

They are no longer limited to novels, let alone words, but seem to integrate reality in a special way, and even give people an illusion that they are reality.

However, is this really an illusion?

Thinking of the things in the "fiction" that highly overlap with reality, Mori Ogai pondered for a moment, and his heart gave him the answer.

He wanted to read Yuan Xuan's novel manuscript.

He is not alone in having such thoughts.

Fyodor was reading a novel in the basement.

Gogol in a clown suit asked him what he was looking at, and Fyodor replied softly, "I'm looking at the world."

He is always talking about some metaphysical things, sometimes Gogol can understand, but sometimes he can't understand.

For example, now, he doesn't understand what the novel has to do with the "world".

Thinking of those boring words clinging to the paper, Gogol felt that he must not be able to read half of it interestingly.

"Hmm..." Gogol bent his fingers, his knuckles resting on the bones of his jaw, lowered his head and approached the novel that Fyodor was reading, and the densely printed characters on the paper jumped into his eyes.

As for novels, Gogol is actually not very interested, but he always gets excited about what Fyodor said.

It was because of Fyodor that Gogol joined the superhuman criminal organization "Five Bad People", and he regarded Fyodor as his only true friend.

Not knowing whether he saw something or thought of something, Fyodor suddenly chuckled.

He raised his head from the book, his pale and beautiful face was full of strange joy, the dim light in the basement made Fyodor's face mostly immersed in gloom, but those violet eyes were extraordinarily bright.

Fyodor raised his face, turned his neck to look up at Gogol, and told him, "I probably know what's going on."

"what happened?"

The black-haired Russian subconsciously made a "habitual" behavior, gnawing his thumb nails. Gogol knew that Fyodor would only make such a move when he was extremely focused on a certain idea. .

Fragmented black hair hangs down on his forehead, and the slightly longer hair ends cover Fyodor's eyes, cutting his gaze into fragments, but even this can't cover up the expression in his eyes.

"About... the 'book'. "

Fyodor thought that he would go to the publishing house some time—to confirm certain things.

He wants to read the novel manuscript of the novelist "Yuan".

Shibusawa Tatsuhiko was sorting out the manuscripts of her previous novels that he had collected from the editorial department without telling Yuan Xuan.

Yuan Xuan is thinking about how to write her last novel.

She seemed to sense that after telling this last story, there was no need to write any more.

Therefore, Yuan Xuan has already decided in her heart that after writing this novel, the career of the novelist "Yuan" can also come to an end.

This decision has not been informed to others, including Shibusawa Tatsuhiko.

In fact, she said to Atsushi Nakajima at that time, "Come be my assistant." It was more just an excuse, because she didn't know what Atsushi Nakajima wanted, and she didn't know what she could give to the other party.

But if nothing is done, Yuan Xuan will not be able to calm down.

She would always think of the past of the orphanage, of the young Atsushi Nakajima and herself, and the memories of the past would turn into curses, haunting her like a necrosis.

A voice from out of nowhere would say to her, "You've escaped."

"I escaped."

Self-blame spread in his chest, Yuan Xuan always ran away in the past, leaving important people behind because of timidity.

Family and friends……

Brother, Dun...

They were all "abandoned" by Yuan Xuan.

She thought it was too cruel, and she couldn't help crying, but everything was actually caused by herself.

Yuanxuan didn't take the initiative to do those things, she just didn't do anything, she didn't say a word when her brother was accused, and was taken away by Shibusawa Ryuhiko when Atsushi asked her to stay away.

There were always other things, other people making decisions for her, and those decisions were too strong for her to hold her head up.

Yuan Xuan thought, it can't be like this.

You can no longer keep silent, and you can no longer let others dominate you. What you want to get, you must fight for yourself.

She has that kind of courage.

"She has that kind of courage."

When Yuanxuan understood that "Bie Tian Wang" was "Takiko Ji", and "Takiko Ji" was also "Yuanxuan", she also knew the reason why the other party appeared here (in this world).

Because... she made a wish.

"Bie Tian Wang" got the "book", and she wrote down her wish on the "book".That was her life longing and her only wish.

"Even if it's only once, even if it's only one... I hope she (Yuan Xuan) can find happiness. 』

What Yuanxuan possesses is not only her own courage, but also the courage of others who have made wishes in the "book".

This was enough to make her heart as firm as a stone in a short time.

At that time, she watched Atsushi Nakajima with calm eyes.She seemed to be watching herself with calm eyes.

Yuanxuan saw Atsushi Nakajima again at the signing, recalling the past, it seemed that the figure that hadn't appeared in his mind for a long time gradually became clear again.

One cannot escape the past.

Just like when Yuan Xuan stared at Atsushi Nakajima, he saw his eyes—the eyes that could not come out from the past.

Yuan Xuan never dared to say, "I don't care about the past at all." Because she knows very clearly that the part that will never disappear in her memory is the same blood as hers. next of kin.

She remembered that when she was a child, she asked her brother why he wanted to become a novelist, and her brother said, "It is to tell others what I think, to put those feelings that cannot be conveyed in words on paper, just like the letter I wrote to Aya .”

Yuan Xuan remembered the letters her brother wrote to herself, and he was always writing letters to Yuan Xuan.

But Yuan Xuan is a clumsy and dull child, she has always been very dependent on her brother, and he is happy to be dependent on her.

Until Yuan Xuan had to face the world alone.

Sometimes Yuan Xuan would think, especially when she first came to this world, she always thought, if she hadn't been separated from her brother, if her father hadn't come home, if the war had continued...

She would watch her brother graduate from school, watch him become a famous, respected novelist, watch him get everything he wanted.

Yuan Xuan will feel sad that she is like stealing her brother's life.

However, if my brother could see it—if he could stand in front of her in this world, he would only say softly to her, "Xuan didn't steal anything from me."

However, thinking of Yuan Xuan, she almost couldn't hold the pen steadily.

There are so many things she wants to write.

There are so many stories she wants to write.

Yuanxuan wanted to write down their past—living in the village when they were young, but there was obviously not enough paper.

If you keep writing, no amount of paper is enough.Just like the letters she wrote to her brother over the years, she always has countless new words to tell her brother.

She thought about it for a long time, until one day the news said that there might be a Leonid meteor shower in a few days.

According to fairy tales, if you make a wish on a shooting star, your wish will come true.

Shibusawa Tatsuhiko thought she liked meteor showers.

Without saying a word, he bought several astronomical telescopes, and went to a guide to plan the best viewing position.

Yuan Xuan suddenly realized that she hadn't had the dream she often had in the orphanage for a long time.

Because some things in reality, in fact, the degree of fantasy has surpassed that of dreams.

What she can imagine and desire can be obtained even in reality.

Yuan Xuan suddenly thought of the content of the last novel.

She wrote that sentence on the first line.

"To the only you in the world. 』

Before that, Yuan Xuan wrote a letter to Atsushi Nakajima. This time, the letter paper she used came from the blank pages of the book she submitted every time.

Only this time, she didn't intend to send the things written in this book to the publishing house, but just wanted to send it directly to Atsushi Nakajima after finishing writing.

The protagonist of the story, a little boy who grew up in an orphanage, escaped from the orphanage one day.The man who picked him up was Osamu Dazai, a cadre of the port mafia. This boy followed the man in the dark and soaked in blood, but in the end he understood that what he was looking for was never violence and death.

I want to live in a spacious house, I want to eat delicious food, I can say hello to others with a smile every day, and I became friends after telling each other's names.

"I love you. 』

Yuan Xuan ended with these words.This is also the first word that made her and Dun become friends who value each other.
