According to Dazai's request, he showed him the gem materials in the shop that had been polished but had not been designed and inlaid. The shop manager wiped off the cold sweat from his forehead, almost holding his breath.

"What, there's nothing better... Is that what the little dwarf cares about?"

Glancing at the crystal-clear and bright gemstones that have been precisely cut and polished, Dazai Osamu's mind is what he saw when he went out early in the morning, the tea crystal-colored eyes of the girl sitting by the window watching the sea. It looked crystal clear, but there was a little mist in the eyes, as mysterious as a mist.

But it can clearly reflect his shadow.

He picked up one casually, looked at it against the light, and threw it back boredly: "It's not as good as..."

He muttered a few words, and carefully looked through the materials for a long time before he managed to pick out a hexagonal column-shaped emerald gemstone.

Under the light, its light is soft and rich, just like the eyes of the girl who fell from the tree on Christmas Eve in his memory.

But... Osamu Dazai thought about it carefully, and it seems that she has never had gemstone decorations on her body. Given the price of her clothes, it is not difficult to match gemstone jewelry, but she would rather be plain than...

Is it because you don't like this kind of jewelry?

Depressedly, he threw the gemstone back, and his gaze fell on the jewelry processing machine at the back of the shop.

A clerk just came in with jewelry in a box, ready to maintain it.

"and many more."

The young man's voice stopped the clerk—although the clerk didn't know this handsome young man in a black coat with a gloomy face, the store manager carefully accompanied him, working in a place where one's eyesight was particularly needed to survive. The clerk stopped very obediently.

Osamu Dazai walked over, stretched out his hand, and with his slender fingers drew out a simple and elegant silver ring from the box held by the clerk. He recognized that this silver ring should be one of the pairing rings that this company once mainly launched. It is mainly aimed at couples and newlyweds, but now the outer edge of this silver ring, which should be carefully preserved and cared for, is full of scratches, only the inner side has few scratches - Osamu Dazai can almost imagine its experience:

The owner wears it on his hand every day, but never pays attention to it, so the silver ring, which is not very hard, collides with the diamond ring on the finger next door, the keys in the pocket of the clothes, the case of the mobile phone and other things from time to time. There are traces left on the originally smooth body...

The exact opposite of the marks on her ring.

Osamu Dazai thought subconsciously.

So... how did the marks on the ring come about?

It was kept well when it was worn all the time, but it was damaged when it was taken off...?

And it is the inner side of the injury that should be very difficult to touch normally.

…unless, the inner side becomes the outer side.

That stacked ring can transform! ?

As soon as the key points are clear, Dazai Osamu almost didn't need much effort, he conceived the appearance of the stacked ring in his mind, such a shape...

It is a prop that he has not personally handled, but is very familiar with, and is extremely useful in certain occasions.

A ring with ambiguous meaning, given by the person who taught her.

Practicality belies the style of dark secrets underneath.

Also... he thought it was similar to himself, so he always asked her to look for another person in him...

What if, what if—not similar?

The person he couldn't find after turning the whole of Yokohama upside down, suddenly reappeared - what if, during those few years, she was really not in Yokohama, or even in this world?

The answers pointed to by various clues made the sourness disappear, but before the joyful mood rose, he remembered it.

The stacked ring was thrown into the sea by his own hands.

The men said she spent a day and a night there looking along the beach.

The simple and elegant silver ring fell back into the box, and the clerk stared blankly at the young man's back as he walked away quickly, not understanding what happened just now.

When Osamu Dazai woke up, he was already floating in the sea.

The boy closed his eyes and let his body sink into the water.

What he should know, it has been so many days, it is impossible to find it...

In the eyes of his subordinates, this was probably another suicidal act by the boss... He laughed in his heart, but the despair and pain that shrouded his heart were stronger than before.

The things she kept and treasured were thrown away by him.

What had she been thinking during those three days and nights of searching along the beach?

It must be very sad, his attitude is so bad, and he always makes trouble for her...

Yes, resent him?

Speaking of which, she clearly hadn't thought about the relationship between men and women before, but she suddenly took the initiative... Was she trying to appease him?

To appease him, he did that kind of behavior...

The person submerged in the water subconsciously licked his lower lip, but only tasted the salty smell of sea water.

In the final analysis, how can a person like him... touch such feelings...

The subconscious self-abandonment caused the young man's body to gradually sink along the sea water, the oxygen in his chest cavity decreased, and fine blisters emerged from his mouth, floating upwards like a bunch of grapes.

Might as well... rot in the water...

At the end of the loss of consciousness, the originally calm current suddenly surged, and the young man who had exiled himself in the current was unprepared, and was washed ashore by the current.

"Ahem!" Osamu Dazai lay on the beach and coughed a few times, then recovered his strength and turned his head to look at the sea.

When the subordinates who rushed over saw their boss who was brought ashore by the sea, they just thought it was another unsuccessful suicide attempt by their boss, and handed over a dry towel as usual, but they didn't see the boss taking it for a long time.

He looked up suspiciously and found that his boss was staring at the sea in a daze.

Is it an illusion?

Osamu Dazai rarely doubted his own memory.

Just now... I seem to have seen a child with fin-like ears flap a folding fan and send him ashore...

Was he hallucinating from choking on water?

No, it seems that in my memory... I seem to have seen it before...

He rummaged through the memory of his memory to find fragments: in the river where he met her for the first time, in a half-dream and half-waking state, he saw her emerge from the river with him, at that time, there was a figure beside her. help her...

He was not very sober at that time, so he didn't remember clearly. He only vaguely remembered that there was a shadow like a fish fin at the position of the other party's ear...

Sure enough, Osamu Dazai's [Disqualification in the World] is immune to the effect of time and space replacement under normal circumstances.

As for that time, it will be replaced... Probably, it's her Colorless King ability again.

Nana disposed of the members of the Purgatory Room in front of her, and pulled out a child with fish-fin ears from behind the pile of people she had beaten to the ground: "Are you all right?"

Osamu Dazai thought that the person who was at home was now in the time and space ten years ago after the exchange. She had experience after coming down a few times, so she just stayed where she was and waited for the replacement to go back. The person who entered the purgatory house illegally traded human beings—no, it was the mouth of a demon: the face of the child who was handcuffed by the person in the purgatory house with special handcuffs was dirty, but she couldn’t cover up her fin-like skin Unusual ears.

Reminiscent of the "Chapter of Black" in the spiritual world, Nana had a vague guess as to where these little monsters would have been sold.

It's a fish demon.

Maybe it's still the river god.

She could smell the rivers in Yokohama from this little monster, she thought.

"Thank you, thank you..." The little fish demon smelled the breath of the natural enemy, and trembled with fear, but still resisted the instinctive fear, and said, "Please, please, is there anything I, we can repay you?" ..."

The good intentions of the big monsters are not in vain, and now friends are still hurting to ask, she, she must be sensible, and she must take the initiative to ask... Woooo... What a terrible breath...

Nana originally planned to say no, but seeing the little monster trembling with fright, she thought for a while and asked, "Are you the monster in the local river in Yokohama? Are those rivers and the nearby seas your domain? "

Monsters are also territorial.

The little fish demon nodded fearfully, then shook his head again: "The river... the river is where I live, and I can sense the conditions of all the rivers in Yokohama, and the nearby sea area is where my friends are..."

She grabbed another little monster beside her who also had fin-like ears. The latter was still in a coma—before Nana came, he was still trying to protect his companion, so he was naturally "focused on care". After Nana gave him treatment, his breathing became stable and there was no danger, but he still hasn't woken up yet.

Apparently, the little dryad who was with them was carefully using their demon power to wake him up quickly.

Obviously, the sea area is the territory of this little monster who is still in a coma.

In other words, the three little ones in front of her are monsters born in Yokohama, belonging to land, rivers and nearby seas... Nana was thoughtful, and seeing how they didn't feel at ease without repaying them, the girl thought about it Thinking, I don't know what I thought of, a shallow smile suddenly appeared on the corner of my mouth.

The little fish demon couldn't describe what kind of smile it was, but it thought that smile was very pretty.

"The three of you are together," the girl smiled when she got an affirmative answer, "Then make a contract with me—to rescue the humans who fall into your territory within your capabilities."

Save humanity! ?

The little fish demon and the little tree demon who were still awake had almost no capital, and naturally they would not hide their feelings. Their thoughts were straightforwardly displayed on their faces, which made Nana immediately notice the loopholes in her thoughts.

After thinking for a while, she said again: "Considering that you were almost kidnapped and sold by humans, it's not good for you to treat all humans equally... Well, you can save other humans according to your mood, and it doesn't matter if you don't want to save them. Well, the life and death of human beings has nothing to do with you—but only the owner of this breath must be saved, this is my request."

Just as he was about to refute, the little fish demon was suppressed by the supplementary explanation. He thought for a while. He only saved a certain human being. Others could save them depending on their mood... After all, although there are such bad people who will arrest them and sell them , There are also kind-hearted people who will spare no effort to help them remove the garbage in the water every day.

Seriously sensed the breath of unknown human beings passed by the big monster in front of them, the little fish demon and the little tree demon said that they remembered it, and when their friend woke up, they would also engrave this breath on him for him to Knowing that, after the two parties agreed, the golden characters representing the contract under the fairy raccoon [Yanchufasui] turned into fine starlight and sank into the land.

With this land as witness, the contract is established.

Well, she made a contract ten years ago, and when Dazai arrives in Yokohama a few years later, there will probably be magical things like hanging himself and breaking a tree, jumping into a river and being washed ashore, right?

Thinking of the face of someone who likes to commit suicide (although he has almost never done it in front of her, but most people have told her about it directly or indirectly)—especially because he doesn't have much spiritual power and can't see monsters, so Most of the time, they couldn't find the reason and could only admit that they were unlucky. The girl couldn't bear the smile on her face, and "threat" with a smile:

"If you don't keep the agreement, I'll eat you!"

Little Mermaid: Oh QAQ!

No, don't be eaten!
