Bandage fine tricks

After the light that was brighter than the sun bloomed, the phantom-like giant sword dissipated.

Osamu Dazai kept looking at the sky, even though the light seemed to blind his eyes, he was reluctant to turn his head or even blink.

He didn't want to miss such a brilliance.

It was the most magnificent light he had ever seen in his short life.

but……

"It's so stupid...so stupid..."

Osamu Dazai raised his head, he couldn't see anything from such a long distance, but he knew where the light came from.

——In this month, I encountered something inexplicable to ten years ago. There are shops under Mafia in the port that I have met people in strange clothes that I have never seen in Yokohama. The connection with the handle that appeared in the sky should be ten years ago. The giant sword from years ago, everything is clear.

What she had been pursuing all along also surfaced.

that……

As for me, am I just her entertainment in the process?

Such thoughts were wiped clean in the eyes that fell unconsciously and looked forward.

"Dazai!"

Faster than Odasaku's reminder was Dazai Osamu's legs running ahead of his mind: at the edge of the forest not far away, a blood-soaked girl was leaning on a tree trunk, still conscious.

Oda Sakunosuke can bet with his superpowers that there was no one there a second ago!

She was teleported through space.

But, why did he choose this place... The answer to this question, when he saw his friend, Oda Sakunosuke fully understood.

She came to see Dazai.

Dazai who ran to her side knelt down on the ground, he wanted to reach out to hug her, but before touching her, he retracted his hand in fear.

"Oda Saku..." The boy raised his head in panic and called him, Oda Sakunosuke suddenly understood: he was afraid.

He was afraid that his supernatural ability [Disqualification in the World] would invalidate the power that could have healed her, so that he didn't dare to hug her when he saw his beloved in front of him.

"I'm going to call an ambulance!" Oda Sakunosuke took out his mobile phone, and was about to walk away to a place with a better signal to call an ambulance - they are now at the edge of the forest, and signal strength is a mystery.

"Cough, no need..."

Hachi stopped Odasaku from walking away with a weak but calm voice.

"Stop joking! How can you..." Osamu Dazai's voice became smaller and smaller until it disappeared: I don't need it, it means I can't use it anymore.

When does a seriously injured person not need an ambulance?

Only when doomed to die.

Aware of this, this young man who had clearly seen and experienced countless deaths and was hailed as the incarnation of the mafia showed an expression as if he was facing death for the first time.

But soon, that expression disappeared. He stretched out his hand and carefully hugged the blood-covered girl into his arms.

The white dress and blue dress he picked out by himself this morning was almost soaked in blood.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..." he whispered, with a gentle voice like coaxing a child who is about to fall asleep, "I'm with you, don't be afraid..."

Odasaku opened his mouth, he wanted to say something, but in Dazai Osamu's eyes looking at him, what he wanted to say seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't say it.

Osamu Dazai smiled at Oda, then lowered his head again, with his forehead resting on the girl's eyebrows, and he could clearly smell the smell of blood from her breath, and he could hardly smell the smell that he loved so much. The scent of lemon: "I will be with you..."

That's right, didn't you think about it a long time ago—I thought about it when Ango said that he would meet for the last time, so he didn't even bring his subordinates along, and came here alone.

At that time, I thought about it. If she didn't want him anymore, she would die.

It's fine for him to die alone, or it's fine for him to take her with him.

Now, it's just him going to accompany her instead.

How good it is to be together even in death.

There was even a hopeful light in his eyes.

"don't want……"

Osamu Dazai, who had already closed his eyes, opened them in a daze at the slight objection.

Xiao Ba coughed up another cloud of blood, and his breathing became easier: "Live, Dazai—"

The light in Dazai's eyes was shattered, he only felt that he was overwhelmed by great despair: "You can't..." You can't leave me and let me live in this world alone!

The girl struggled to get up from his arms, stretched out her hands, and held his face in those hands that had become cold due to excessive blood loss, and his own despair was clearly reflected in the tea crystal eyes, but her expression was very serious:

"—Dazai knows where I come from."

Osamu Dazai opened his mouth, he knew, but...

"Too much power is used, the world is rejecting me, I need to go back to my original time and space-you know where you will see me, don't you?"

"...Do you know how cruel this is to me?" Dazai Osamu said this almost in a breathy voice.

Xiaoba smiled:

"I know, I know how cruel it is—but, I want to see you."

While Osamu Dazai was in a daze as if he had heard something he had never thought of, the girl who clearly had a smile on her lips cried out:

"I want to meet you, I want to know you, I want you to meet me..."

Those shining memories are treasures that even if she accidentally forgets them, she will still recall them instantly when she sees another participant.

"I want the fact that 'I'm with you' to persist, so—"

Even though I know this is too cruel for you, I still hope——

"—To meet me, to live."

Osamu Dazai's last memory is a bloody kiss on his lips, and the words:

"I will wait for you in the future."

It reverberated in him for more than three years, supporting every night he couldn't hold on.

He and Odasaku defected and fled the port of Mafia. Odasaku was okay. As a low-level employee, he experienced basically trivial things, and soon went ashore for nothing. As the youngest cadre in the history of the port Mafia, he experienced that really. It's not ordinary dirty, it took two years to clean it underground - that's all, it's the result of Ango's help.

Successfully passed the inspection of the Armed Detective Agency and officially became one of the investigators, Osamu Dazai sometimes wondered if she had lied to him.

She wouldn't have to wait until he was dying of old age to suddenly appear in front of him—reminiscent of her respectful attitude towards him when we first met, Osamu Dazai was horrified to find that the possibility was not low at all!

No, absolutely not, absolutely not this kind of thing!

He didn't survive so hard to watch her grow up and marry someone else!

But... what if that's the case...

What if she wasn't born yet?

What if you have to wait until he gets old to meet her...

As time passed, one possibility after another made him more and more sleepless, and many nights, he kept his eyes open, staring at the ceiling until the sky turned crab-blue.

Those brands that she used to prefer were all blacklisted by him: not because she didn't want to use the smell to make her lovesick, but...if even the smell in her memory can no longer comfort her, would it be...even if she came to him, There is no way to appease his panic...?

Time passed bit by bit, and Yokohama was also changing. The Hakusu Building, which had almost sniped Mr. Mori, was bought by the port Mafia, pulled down, and built into a park.

He shuttled through the streets and alleys of Yokohama, trying to find her.

But there is never any.

He also wants to go to other cities, but there are more than 3000 cities in the world, even if he goes to one city a day, it will take 37 years...

How many 37 years can a person have?

When he couldn't suppress his inner emotions, he would wake himself up in the river, or stay quietly in the bungalow where Jide and Oda fought, recalling her original appearance bit by bit from the empty scene.

Until one day, Kunikida Doppo carried him back to the Armed Detective Agency from another missed shift, complaining that when he walked in, he felt someone in the living room.

Hey, is it a client?

With the mentality of avoiding Kunikida Doppo's nagging, he walked in and saw the black fluffy on the sofa.

"……cat?"

Osamu Dazai didn't notice, he subconsciously held his breath.

Under the effect of [Disqualification in the World], the invisible camouflage faded layer by layer.

When his fingers really touched the warm human skin, the cat just now had disappeared, replaced by a black-haired girl curled up and sleeping on the sofa.

His [Disqualification in the World] won't work on her, so is this a trap set by someone in front of him? This possibility is eliminated in the sound of his heartbeat beating steadily.

is her.

He believed that his instinctive consciousness would not mistake people.

What's more--the mind that was too outstanding and even out of place quickly turned, and everything from walking in to the present was under his panoramic view. He quickly deduced her origin, and even included her past respect that made him feel jealous. willing attitude:

Very good, the first step is to get rid of that inexplicable elder status!

You must avoid this identity!

He doesn't need to wait three years to confirm the relationship, it's best to settle it directly in this time and space!

——18-year-old Osamu Dazai doesn't have a wife, what's the matter with 21-year-old Osamu Dazai!
