Bandage fine tricks

Imperial Pillar Tower.

Bi Shui Liu, who was restrained by the straitjacket and bound Wang Zhili to change the boundary between life and death to keep himself alive, was the first to notice the strangeness.

Sitting in a wheelchair, the Green King sat blankly for a while, digesting the message that suddenly appeared in his mind: a memory told him that when he was 11 years old, he met Kagutsu Xuanshi's outbreak of royal power, and in At the moment of life and death, he was recognized by Slate, became the new King of Green, and survived, and then met the King of Gray, and the two lived together. He planned to change the world...

But now, a new memory enters his mind, telling him that Kagu Tsuxuan 14 years ago, the outbreak of royal power did not happen, and the sword that was about to fall lost its trace in midair, and then appeared in four Over Yokohama years ago, he was stopped by the unknown colorless king. He was recognized by the slate as the king of green in the later days. After acquiring the knowledge instilled by the slate, he began to think about the relationship between power and ordinary people, thinking about the king The existence of the power of the slate and the power of the slate, although there are some differences between them, but in the end he still got to know Uncle Pan and embarked on the road of change...

To be honest, there is a very obvious conflict of common sense in the latter memory. For example, four years ago, Mr. Miwa Ichiyan, the former colorless king, had not passed away, so the colorless sword that appeared in the sky above Yokohama could only be his. But Bishuiliu clearly knew that the colorless king was not Mr. Miwa Yiyan...

What is even more strange is that even with such an obvious BUG, ​​his subjective consciousness has been alarming all the time, but his instinct is inclined... the second memory is the "real memory".

"...What happened, Mr. Guochang Road Dajue?" Bi Shuiliu looked at the silent King of Gold, "My intuition tells me that you know what happened."

The old man stared at the world map in front of him and remained silent. After a long time, an old voice sounded:

"She really did..."

A house in the suburbs of Yokohama.

The detective agency called urgently by Atsushi Nakajima naturally included Akiko Yosano who has the supernatural power [Please don’t die]. Anger—this anger was not aimed at everyone present, but at a girl who was not present—and asked: "...I didn't mean to question it deliberately, but, Dazai, are you sure that Hachi will definitely appear in here?"

Even if Xiao Ba was taken away four years ago by that man named Altair, it doesn't mean...she will appear here when she comes back.

"Xiaoba put a mark on me." After Xiaoba disappeared in front of him, Dazai Osamu's face lost all emotion, and even the most basic camouflaged smile disappeared, "That time she was hit by a ten-year rocket launcher When I went to the parallel world and came back, it fell by my side, and I confirmed it at that time..."

Hachi, who has not yet fully awakened the blood of the monster race, cannot break through the [Disqualification in the World] imprint of Maomata on him, but Hachi, who has been refined into a full-body monster by his blood, can do this.

——Four years ago, Hachikai, who prevented the outbreak of Kaguto Xuanshi's royal power, appeared at the edge of the forest and also proved this from the side. You must know that he and Oda Saku had already left the bungalow at that time , and judging from the seriousness of Xiao Ba's injuries at that time, she didn't have the energy to search the nearby area at all.

So the only explanation is that she put a mark on Osamu Dazai early in the morning, so after preventing the Kagutsu crater incident, she was able to space transfer to his vicinity for the first time.

Oda Saku didn't speak, his eyes fell on Dazai from time to time, even a person like him who was calm and introverted, couldn't control his inner worries at this time.

Even after four years, he still deeply remembers how much the child was hurt when they separated.

At that time, he almost walked away with the intention of letting them bid farewell, leaving space for the two of them.

When he came back, he found Osamu Dazai kneeling there alone, and when the child disappeared, Dazai told him again that the child had left, and when she would see her again after she recovered from her injuries, Oda Saku almost thought that It was Dazai who was hallucinating due to his excessive sadness.

Or, the kid's last, white lie...

And just now, after Dazai called Yosano Akiko here, and the rest of the detective agency who couldn't sit still, they finally learned the whole story from Dazai.

As Dazai said, the fact that there was a Kagutsu crater in Kanagawa Prefecture that killed 70 people was not in their minds.

The change of the world line has been completed.

So... that child, should he come back?

Almost at the same time as this thought flashed, Yosano Akiko saw Osamu Dazai suddenly raised his head, she suddenly realized something, and the light of "Please Don't Die" bloomed.

The girl who suddenly appeared from a height of less than half a meter above the ground fell to the ground, the blood on her body was cleaned up by [Please Don’t Die], the white dress and blue skirt are beautiful, but——

She closed her eyes and lay on the ground without moving.

Yosano Akiko couldn't believe it, "Please Don't Die" would be fine, so... By the way, Dazai, maybe Dazai stood too close to affect the effect of "Please Don't Die"!

"Dazai, you..." Yosano Akiko was about to tell you to stay away, but he saw that the person who was standing far away just now had come over. After a moment of hesitation, he touched the ground on one knee and lay down on the ground. girl in her arms.

"...No need to try, I already knew the result." He hugged the girl who seemed to be sleeping in his arms, and said softly, "Four years ago...I knew it."

[Please don't die] The blood stains on her body were removed, but Osamu Dazai always felt that the smell of blood was still faintly lingering.

He buried his face in the girl's chest, and he didn't hear the slightest heartbeat in his ears.

Dazai closed his eyes.

"fraud."

you liar.

Wordless silence permeated the bungalow, Odasaku felt bad, he knew that Dazai could control his heartbeat, when the appearance of Dazai appeared in front of his eyes four years ago, Odasaku hurriedly said: "Hey! Dazai! Don't... ..."

The young man who had buried his head suddenly raised his head, with a blank face that he didn't realize: "Breathing... Xiaoba is breathing! But, but, I didn't hear her heartbeat!"

He almost looked at Akiko Yosano for help: "She doesn't have a heartbeat, but... she is still breathing! Moreover," he pressed his hand to the girl's face, as if he murmured in disbelief, "the skin is also hot... ..."

If it is dead, at this time, it is enough to cool down the temperature of the skin.

Yosano Akiko rushed to Dazai's side quickly, and quickly checked Hachi's body. She came to the same conclusion as Dazai: there was no heartbeat, but the skin was hot, and the breathing was weak but steady, and she could faintly feel it. to the heat of the breath...

Osamu Dazai suddenly looked out the door, and everyone followed him, only to find that at some point, there was a tall and strong old man standing at the door.

Yosano Akiko didn't know the old man, but she recognized the clothes of the people behind the old man: "rabbit", the "rabbit" of Shifei Shiin.

Being able to make the "rabbits" willingly stand behind and follow them in a submissive manner... Akiko Yosano realized the identity of the old man.

"I arranged for medical treatment," the old man said, "send her here."

Osamu Dazai would not ignore what Yosano Akiko was aware of, but he did not let go of his hand, but picked up Hachi and followed the "rabbit" guiding him to the car.

When passing by the old man, he suddenly asked, "Why?"

——The King of Gold has not been out of the Pillar Tower for many years because of private affairs, and even for official business, the king of the earth is rarely allowed to appear outside.

"Just a little respect that I think is necessary."

The old man closed his eyes and said.

Compared with her accomplishments, it's nothing more than a trivial matter.

From the information provided by the monsters at Feishiyuan, together with the information sent by Little Hades later, we can basically infer the whole situation: after the human heart could not bear the body, the demon core belonging to the cat in her body awakened , replacing the function of the heart.

Normally, the wounds on the body were healed by [Please Don’t Die], and the demon core replaced the heart to perform functions, Xiao Ba should wake up soon, but...

"There is another organ in this child that is similar to the demon nucleus." Doctor Frog pointed to the intertwined shadows on the video that most people can't understand, and said, "Plus, she is a hybrid of a cat and a fairy raccoon." , I reasonably guess...that should belong to the power core of the fairy raccoon, and its function is similar to that of the demon core, and then..."

Two forces collided.

His Highness, who was busy adjusting his own balance, had to sleep first to avoid losing his physical strength.

When she is almost adjusted, she will wake up automatically.

Normally, Hachi should stay in Academy City and be taken care of by Dr. Frog, but Osamu Dazai doesn’t trust Academy City. Fukuzawa Yukichi thought it would be more reassuring to keep Hachi in the detective agency and let them take care of him, so In the end, Hachi was taken to the Yokohama Armed Detective Agency.

The Armed Detective Agency has a medical room with Yosano Akiko, and Yosano Akiko specially reserves the hospital bed by the window for Xiaoba, so that when she wakes up, she will be able to see the clear sky outside the window at first sight—she knows The child always liked to look out of the window.

The detective agency itself works during the day, and there will be someone on duty at night just in case. It used to be a shift, but since then, Osamu Dazai has taken over the entire night duty.

No one was fighting him.

Everyone in the detective agency can see that even if Dazai is asked to go home to rest, he will not be able to rest well at home. Rather, because he can't see the people he cares about, he will be even more troubled.

It is still spring, the spring flowers are blooming, and the branches are growing.

"If you don't wake up, you won't even be able to step on the tail of spring."

Osamu Dazai opened the window, and the white screen beside the window was blown up. He looked back at the girl on the hospital bed. The latter was still lying there quietly, covered with a quilt, except for the hand with the indwelling needle. outside.

He walked over, and originally wanted to tuck that hand back into the quilt, but when he touched the warm and cold hand, he changed his mind again, let her palm stick to his cheek, closed his eyes, and kissed her softly. Kissing the palm of the hand: "If you go to sleep, you will even sleep through your coming-of-age ceremony..."

He said it almost habitually, not in the mood for a reply.

But this time—

"—It's only been lying down for two months." The hand that was pressed against his cheek spontaneously stroked his cheek. Osamu Dazai suddenly opened his eyes, and saw the person who woke up at some point. The girl had a helpless expression, "Birthday is still far away."

"Hey, editor Hejian." Tanizaki, who just came back from outside investigation, saw the extra person in the detective agency, and said hello, "Did you come to see Hachi?"

Editor Hejian quickly stood up and replied with a smile: "Yes, "Detective Boy" is going to be reprinted again, and there is another piece of good news. I want to tell Teacher Zhenji, maybe Teacher Zhenji can hear it."

The news of the teacher's illness has not yet been sent out. After all, their manuscripts are still enough to be published for a year and a half. In order to compete for heat, the event was stuck so tightly that it was too late for the heat to ferment.

In addition to visiting Teacher Zhenji on a regular basis, Editor Hejian asked the president to sign the reprint contract on her behalf - as a minor, Teacher Zhenji's guardian is eligible to sign on her behalf.

"That's it..." Tanizaki glanced at the medical room, "At this time, Mr. Dazai should be accompanying Hachi. You can go in after Mr. Dazai comes out and opens the door."

After the words fell, he suddenly heard a rather loud movement inside, as if a chair fell to the ground. Tanizaki didn't have time to think, and hurriedly opened the door and rushed in: "Mr. Dazai! What... happened...?"

Looking at the young man in windbreaker who was pressing on Xiaoba and turned his head to look at the movement, Tanizaki said calmly: "President, please come here—someone is guarding himself!!!"

It's just too excited Dazai who really just wants to hug:? ? ?

Three or ten minutes later, the confusion finally subsided, and everyone in the detective agency finally despaired of Osamu Dazai, who was still refusing to let go of the silver wolf's sword drawing skills, and whose attributes were more difficult to deal with than rubber, and had to let him go He hugged Xiaoba tightly.

"That's why it's been said that Xiaoba is my girlfriend! It's okay for me to hug my girlfriend! Xiaoba himself agrees!"

Holding the handle of the knife, Fukuzawa Yukichi just wanted to kill himself who let Dazai Osamu into the club two years ago.

Dear friend, I'm sorry for you, your precious girl was raped by black mud.

And it looks like it won't come off.

"So, my plan succeeded?" Xiaoba's first thing after waking up was to care about the situation of the 70 people in Kanagawa County. What to do or what to do.

"Successful, the cornerstone of the world has automatically completed the memory and past. Except for a few kings and a few people with special abilities, the others and all databases no longer have the Kaguto crater incident." Kunikida Dubu said, although he didn't remember this incident, but he couldn't stand the existence of a person with extreme anti-alien ability in the detective agency. 】Everything that the reader has ever seen in his mind.

After sleeping for two months, the information naturally lagged behind a lot. After Xiaoba woke up, she began to understand what happened during the time she fell asleep:

For example, Sora and Shiro studied under the famous detective Ranpo, and are now well-known trainee investigators in the detective agency. Fukuzawa Yukichi has even begun to think about letting them officially join the agency.However, not long ago, they met a guy who called himself Tetu, the god of games, who was unwilling to admit defeat because he was defeated by Blank in chess, and invited them to "a world where everything is determined by games" to fight again.

After the two brothers and sisters discussed carefully, because Xiao Ba hadn't woken up yet, they left her a message and went to that world-"If it was us a year ago, we would definitely leave everything behind and flee to that world without hesitation. , but now... we are not escaping from this hot chicken reality game, we are just developing a new game! King, wait for us, when we conquer that world, we will come back and bring you to play together!"

"I heard, yes, beast ears, mother, but, king, don't worry, king, it's special."

——I didn’t worry about such a thing!It would be better to say that I am worried about that world... Xiaoba who received the message couldn't laugh or cry: Hey wait, since it is a real world, according to heredity, animal ears may not only appear in cute girls and boys On the body, and judging from the situation of hormones...

……hiss!

After imagining the existence of a muscular man with beautiful animal ears, Xiao Ba gasped, and began to sincerely pray for the Blank brothers and sisters who were aiming at the cute animal ears.

For example, Henggou Zhengshi, his condition is already under control, and then he can recover as long as he takes good care of him according to Dr. Frog's doctor's advice and cooperates with the treatment-"I'm already conceiving a new novel, although the doctor told me to take care of it." Rest, but I'm just lying on the bed. If I don't let me use my brain, I will get rusty. And I have to check the information with Kotaro to help me. The preparation of the new book is going smoothly. When you wake up, I may have already written the first draft, remember to give me comments when the time comes."

Another example is Cesar, and Selesia and other characters who also came out of the world of novels and comics, together with their creators, sent those Two-dimensional characters brought to this world by Altair back to where they should be. The world, including their own, but not Cesar himself - "Impossible! Don't think! I'm not going back! My Creator hasn't woken up yet, I haven't said goodbye to her, don't expect me to go - Farewell Do not leave! Give up!"

Xiaoba was silent for a while, then turned his head to stare at Osamu Dazai, who realized something guilty and turned his head: "Although the Cesar I wrote occasionally has convulsions and cheats, this style--Dazai, you did a good job!"

"Wait, why did you put the pot on my head!"

Osamu Dazai felt so wronged.

"Isn't it obvious that you learned from me!"

"I didn't let him learn... oh, I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong!"

Seeing that Teacher Zhenji wanted to chase after her regardless of her body that had just recovered from a serious illness, editor He Jian hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over and change the subject: "Ah, by the way, speaking of light novels, I have some good news to tell Zhenji Teacher! Your "Envoy of God" has passed the review and will be introduced to the flower planter soon. I believe the readers over there are also looking forward to Teacher Zhenji's... Wait, wait! Teacher Zhenji!? Teacher Zhenji, don't jump off the building ah!"
