Sente Eiji's Black Friday

The abandoned auditorium was dyed purple by the darkening sky, and the longer and longer shadows covered the body of the mimic leader Gide.

"—Now we're even, Master Xiuzhi."

Compared with the environment, the man's smiling voice is brighter and gentler than the autumn day.

...reminds him of those days and nights when only two of them were together 11 years ago.

Osamu Dazai's body trembled violently.

He knelt on the spot with dilated pupils, his expression blurred for a moment after a few seconds, then he shook off the hands on his head, stood up with the little Akita dog in his arms and sneered, "Oh, oh, I thought who it was, It turned out to be Natsume's ten leader who would run out of sight whenever there was danger."

He speaks in a weird way, and his tone is full of sarcasm, as long as you ignore his reddened ears and the eyes that didn't meet Yingji even when he turned around, then I'm afraid that I'm going to jump up and blow his dog's head right away .

The Oda dog in his arms looked up at him with a clear look.

Dazai really wouldn't answer.

When there is no confirmation, he will repeatedly tease him to death, and when the truth is in front of him, he will back away in fear. This is the most common situation of cowards.

Natsume Eiji didn't know if he saw this, but smiled and admired the ugly face of the young man who ate a fly, and then pressed the play button again: "Odasaku——!!"

"Odasaku——!!"

"Odasaku——!!"

Infinite loop.

Dazai Osamu: "..."

--Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah! !

"Wang."

Let's be frank, Dazai, otherwise, with Eiji's bad intentions, you may be bullied miserably.

Little Akita, who was squatting in the young man's arms, saw through everything hidden under his blushing and calm appearance, and patted his arm with his claws earnestly.

In case Eiji sees that you are a paper-based high attack and low defense, then once he takes the initiative, you will definitely retreat steadily.

Look, just play your cries mixed with sincerity repeatedly, and you will soon become a tomato.

Osamu Dazai knew nothing about the sincere advice from his old father (bushi)—no matter how smart he was, he would never be able to analyze so many meanings from that "woof".He was so ashamed that he thought his friend was giving him a step, so he immediately yelled without thinking, trying to break the awkward and flustered atmosphere:

"Ah—! By the way, why hasn't Odasaku turned back into a human yet?! Even if it's Odasaku, turning into a dog is annoying!!"

The Oda Inu subconsciously opened his mouth to say something, but thought that he could only speak Wang Xingyu, which Osamu Dazai could not understand, so he closed his mouth with peace of mind, and the old god lay down on his stomach, Use your eyes to signal him to look at the master of a certain ability.

Dazai froze.

——He just didn't want to face that guy, so he opened the topic!Odasaku what's wrong with you! !

A chuckle came from the opposite side, the man who saw through everything and seemed to have noticed nothing kindly explained:

"Because my supernatural ability is a range type that does not need to be touched. The fluctuation of the supernatural ability radiates from me as the center. That is to say, you can only touch the supernatural ability itself if you touch me. "Disqualification in the world " will take effect. "

After speaking, he didn't wait for Dazai's answer, and directly stepped forward a few steps, standing in front of Dazai.

Osamu Dazai panicked and took a step back subconsciously, but the man in front of him bent down closely, his deep blue eyes that seemed to be able to suck people in were looking straight into his eyes, and the deep voice was close at hand: "Also, why don't you want to look into my eyes...Master Xiuzhi?"

Osamu Dazai's pupils trembled slightly, and he looked away abruptly as if he had been scalded, his fingertips curled up uncontrollably.

Oda Sakunosuke looked at the two of them left and right, feeling that he was a bit redundant, and was about to jump off tentatively, when Dazai Osamu grabbed him like he was grabbing a life-saving straw.

Having heard "Master Xiuzhi" twice today, Dazai Osamu, who faintly sensed that something was beginning to slip out of control, was obviously in a panic. He froze for a second before turning his head and shouting exaggeratedly:

"Wait, wait! Why didn't you react at all, Odasaku? This nasty guy is here now? Why don't you rush up and bite him? He's the one who made you—"

what.

The yelling child suddenly felt aphasia, and looked at the Oda dog a little helplessly.

At this moment, the obnoxious ghost on the opposite side burst into a laugh, and said with crooked eyebrows, "Because the children and the old man are fine."

……what?

Osamu Dazai widened his eyes all of a sudden, showing a rare look of surprise, and stared at him motionless for a few seconds as if his soul had come out of his body, then suddenly realized something, looked down at Oda Dog in disbelief: "Oda do?!"

The pup who was about to sneak away sat up straight immediately, his dog face with a paralyzed and indifferent look looked completely innocent: "Wow?"

Dazai Osamu: "..."

Osamu Dazai stared at the little tail wagging his phantom, and squeezed the dog's mouth expressionlessly.

——Well, you thick eyebrows and big eyes, you actually teamed up with others to lie to me! !

The young man recalled that Oda Sakunosuke never looked at him in front of the burning foreign food restaurant, and his voice was very soft but always expressionless, and he couldn't help grinding his teeth hard!

Fortunately, he thought at the time that Oda Sakunosuke did not show a sad expression because of facial paralysis, and the co-author was not sad at all!Look at the tail turning, it almost becomes a propeller——! !

"Are you happy that you tricked me? Huh? Very happy?"

The cadres stared at the sobbing and speechless little Qiutian, and the black air came out of his eyes with a smile.

A drop of sweat dripped down Oda Inu's forehead. Before he could continue to show off his cuteness, Dazai Osamu put his clothes on and stuffed him into his arms. Without even looking at Natsume Eiji, he turned around and walked out aggressively: "Damn it! , We will settle this account later! You are injured, right? In short, go to the treatment first!!"

"Ugh! Wang uh, uh—"

Oda Inu grabbed his hand with its claws without nails, and its accusatory eyes drifted towards Eiji, who accepted his meaning and smiled helplessly.

The current Osamu Dazai is clearly thinking of running away, and he probably hasn't cleared his mind yet. At this time, even if he insists on keeping him, there may be no result.

So I can only say sorry to Oda Saku.

The blue-haired man clasped his hands together and bowed to the pup with a smile on his face, and watched him leave in the arms of Osamu Dazai with dead eyes.

When he couldn't see the figures of the two (?), he slightly restrained his smile and looked at Gide's body in the corner.

...It's finally over.

Ying Er took a photo and sent it to his cheap grandfather, then raised his hand and pressed his neck. After a long silence in the approaching night, he sighed softly.

"Wa hahaha--"

Children's laughter came from upstairs.

Natsume Eiji handed a glass of water to Oda Sakunosuke, and smiled while sitting down: "It's really energetic."

Oda Sakunosuke drank his saliva after thanking him, and smiled when he heard the words: "It's all thanks to you."

Eiji smiled and waved his hands, then asked, "Where's daddy?"

"I'm back in my hometown in Osaka, and it seems like I'm going to open a new store there...I stuffed most of my savings into his suitcase, and I hope he can find out when he gets home."

"I see..." Yinger's expression softened, and he tilted his head to look into his eyes, "Then what are your plans?"

"I..." Oda Sakunosuke paused, looking down at the water in the glass, "I really want to write."

"Of course I have to write it! I'm still waiting to be the first reader to buy your book!" Natsume Eiji showed a natural expression.

"But I'm poor." Oda Sakunosuke explained the facts frankly, "Probably in the future, I will still be working as before, taking care of my children at the same time—what is this?"

He looked at the card that Ying Er smiled and pushed it in front of him, and after a moment of stunned, he immediately wanted to push it back, "Ei Er, you have helped me too much, I can't accept your money... no, even if it's a loan, I can't accept it. I'll figure it out on my own..."

"No, this is not my money." Ying Er explained with a smile, "Actually, I have some contacts with the government. This money is a bonus after I applied for it for you and solved the mimic! So don't worry. Take it!"

"Bonus...?" Oda Sakunosuke was taken aback, and Eiji stuffed the card into his hand in the next second.

Not only that, the blue-haired man also took out a pennant, and waved it happily in front of his eyes: "Look! The 'Enthusiastic Citizen' pennant made for you by the Yokohama Police Department! Isn't it great!!"

Warm, enthusiastic citizens...

Oda Sakunosuke was silent for a few seconds, and finally let go of the strange feeling, and turned to look at the card in his hand suddenly: "Ah! So this is really a bonus!"

"Ahahaha, of course! I've said it all, so you can accept it with confidence!"

"Okay, then I'll accept it... But I have to thank you for this, Eiji."

"Oh my friends, thank you for what you said! Compared with these, I actually want to see Odasaku happy to do what he wants to do!"

"Do... what I want to do?" Oda Sakunosuke looked up at him, and opened his mouth to say something.

But Eiji suddenly raised his hand to hold his shoulder, and said with an extremely warm smile: "Hey, Oda Saku, do you want to consider not continuing to write my grandfather's book?"

"Compared to continuing the killer's life in the book, what I want to see more is [Oda Sakunosuke]'s own story."

Oda Sakunosuke was lost in thought.

Eiji closed the door with a smile and walked out, walked half a circle around the single-family safe house, and stopped on the path in front of the garden.

He laughed loudly and said, "Since you're here, let's go and see him."

In the silence, he turned to look at the young man with half of his body exposed in the corner, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth: "Or, you are actually here to find me..."

"Master Xiuzhi?"

Osamu Dazai lowered his head with a vague expression.

The aura around him is a bit obscure, and it gives people a completely different feeling from the shameful freshness after being recorded last night. It seems that something happened during this period that Eiji didn't know, and this incident made some unknown thing dormant. In Dazai Osamu's body.

Moreover, it is urgent to explode.

So Eiji restrained the overly relaxed smile on the corner of his mouth, walked over with some puzzlement, and lightly patted Osamu Dazai on the shoulder with a probing and comforting nature.

"Master Xiuzhi..."

"Don't call me by that name."

At the moment of physical contact, Osamu Dazai's chest heaved violently, and he suddenly opened his hand violently.

He said so coldly, but his voice was tense like a string that was about to break, and even the trembling was piercingly sharp.

Natsume Eiji looked at him quietly with his hands hanging, as if he didn't see his emotions on the verge of breaking out, he still smiled slightly: "Why, is it possible that Master Xiuzhi has reached the stage of rebellion——"

"I said don't call me that—!!"

The loss of control happened in an instant.

The skinny young man without a windbreaker made a tearing sound, his face was horribly pale, his irises were dilated and transparent due to rage, but the corners of his eyes were quietly smoldering with water.

"What, why are you always like this..." He hung down and trembled as if suppressing something, there seemed to be several cracks in his hoarse voice, and his whole body looked like it was about to shatter.

"You said you hate people like me the most, so I don't think you are him, but you always call me with such a similar expression and tone, and always so gently;"

"You said you would do the opposite, so I hate you and want to completely separate you from him, but you finally helped me;"

"You said you wouldn't love me, so I wanted to stay away from you, but you approached me again and again...you caught me, watched the fireworks with me, and now you saved Odasaku... ..."

The young man's face became paler and his lips trembled more and more.His eyes full of shattered streamers stared at Eiji without blinking, his steady voice was completely out of control, and his questioning with resentment, pain, and anger was like a cold knife weeping blood:

"Answer me, what the hell are you trying to do? Is it fun to tease me? Is it fun to make me guess? Is it fun to watch me wobble? Say, what the hell are you trying to do? Who the hell are you-?! "

who are you……?

Osamu Dazai murmured in his heart, a numb sharp pain came from his heart, and the hand hanging by his side was clenched little by little.

【"Dazai-kun."】

Ango Sakaguchi's voice on the phone echoed in his ears again, making Osamu Dazai bite his lips involuntarily.

【"I investigated everything about 'Eiji Tsushima' in detail for you, and found that his original name was not 'Eiji'.】

["……What's the meaning?"]

【"Information shows that Tsushima Eiji suddenly called himself Eiji after he was out of danger in a serious illness."】

【"Of course, the same is true for Natsume Eiji, and the situation is even weirder—he crawled out of a ruin after being bombed by an enemy country and it was confirmed that no one survived..."]

[“…”]

【"According to the results of the interview and investigation, the drastic change in their temperament and their insistence on changing their names happened overnight, as if...you understand, Dazai-kun?"]

【"——it seems to have suddenly become another person."】

"..."

His normally proud brain was in chaos, and he couldn't think of a single word.

Osamu Dazai's lips opened and closed like a fish dying of thirst, his mind was very confused, and his heart was also very confused, to the point where he no longer knew what to believe in what the person in front of him said.

At this moment, all he could react was a futile and inexplicable hiss——

"why?"

Why do you say those annoying things on purpose?Why let him down and give him hope?Why are you forcing yourself to see him clearly now?

Why...why at that time...

Abandon him and die alone?

——Under these questions, the same question is actually hidden.

The blue-haired man looked at him with tender, almost sad eyes.

"Feel sorry."

He showed a helpless smile, apologized abruptly, and at the same time raised his hand to touch the moist corners of the young man's eyes, his movements were gentle and heart-warming.

"Because I only remembered it after watching the fireworks, because I felt that many things were done wrong, and because I knew that Master Xiuzhi would be angry with me...so I have been trying to stay away, but I am really worried."

"...Sorry, Master Xiuzhi."

More and more tears accumulated in the eyes, the man who had become a mature man smiled helplessly, and opened his arms towards the stubborn child who refused to cry like he did countless times when he was a child.

"I'm back." He said softly.

--I am back.

At that moment, Osamu Dazai stared blankly at this strange yet familiar person, tears suddenly fell from his eyes.

It can't be wrong, he thought.

Except Tsushima Eiji, no one in this world can understand Tsushima Shuji's twists and turns so thoroughly and so quickly.

The phrase "why" just now seems to be asking those questions at first glance, but only Osamu Dazai himself knows the true meaning hidden in those questions.

——When he asked "why", he had already asked "are you the same person".

And Natsume Eiji said to him——

I am back.

……He is back.

Osamu Dazai clenched his trembling teeth, and threw himself into the embrace of the 11-year-old man in his hazy vision.

Na.

... Can he take this lie as the truth?
