"I'm going to shush!" he muttered again.

On the opposite side, Mr. Jin put down his wine glass and cast his gaze towards the distant sky.

"Don't you know the toilet yourself?" I gave Dazai an annoyed look, "Do you want me to hug you?"

He misinterpreted the sarcasm in my words into kindness, and stumbled forward with open arms: "I want to hug~"

"Fuck you." I reached out and pressed his head, forcing him to keep a distance from me, "Go to the front and turn left."

This seaside cottage once belonged to a lone unlicensed doctor, so the facilities are fairly complete.

"I'm afraid of the dark." Dazai said aggrievedly, "I dare not go alone."

"If you can't beat this blackness, how can you become a mafia cadre in the future?"

Dazai shook his head: "I don't want to be a mafia cadre, I want to be a duty cadre."

"Tch." I was amused by the way he waved his short hand, and put down the wine glass, "I'm so bored, I'll go with you."

"Qingxixi is the best."

I stood outside and waited while Dazai went to the bathroom.The location of the toilet is closer to the sea, and the sound of the waves has never passed.

"Qingxixi—"

Almost every ten seconds, Dazai would call me to prevent me from abandoning him and leaving.

"I'm here, stop screaming."

It's useless at all, he still calls me once in a while.

I was too lazy to speak, and responded to him directly with "huh".

"Qingxixi, I'm done!"

He opened the door and jumped out. Just as he was about to pounce, I quickly moved away from him: "Have you washed your hands?"

He shook his dripping hands and said proudly, "It's been washed."

"Remember to dry it after washing it." I took out my pocket, took out a handkerchief, squatted down, grabbed his hands, and carefully wiped off the water on them.

He stared at me without blinking: "This handkerchief is so pretty."

"Do you like it?"

"I like it!" He nodded, "Can you give it to me?"

"Yes, yes." I explained, "but this one is made of your bandage, so I don't know what material it is made of. Don't ask me what the pattern on it means, I don't know either."

I have been trying to practice supernatural powers, and I have almost mastered all the decomposition in a small area. Every time I feel that I am going to lose control, I will touch Dazai, and I will calm down immediately.

However, the ability to reshape has never been controlled, and the things created are always completely different from what I want.

I wanted a glass of vodka, but what came out was a glass of Coke. As soon as I put it down, Dazai came over and took a big sip.

I pinched his mouth to make him spit it out: "Idiot, I'm not sure if I can drink it, are you so greedy? What if I die from poisoning?"

He swallowed it all before speaking: "Isn't it better to die?"

"Unlucky." I slapped his hair, "Children always open their mouths and keep their mouths shut. It's not something you should think about at your age."

Dazai poked his head out from under my palm: "Qingxixi won't let me die."

"I'm not that capable. If you really want to die, I can't stop you." I changed the subject and said, "But if someone wants to kill you, I will protect you a little bit."

Dazai giggled when he heard it, he shook his short legs, puffed out his mouth, and patted his chubby cheeks to entertain himself.

I propped my chin up with both hands and looked at the sea not far away.

Cut off from electricity and internet, time moves slowly here.I have a lot of time, besides practicing abilities, I just read books and watch the sea.

"Qingxixi, look at those clouds are so fat, they are about to fall." Dazai pointed to a few plump clouds far away in the sky, and said worriedly, "Don't they know that they should eat less? "

"Take care of yourself." I wiped off the watermelon juice on the corner of his mouth, and wiped his fingers one by one, "They will take care of themselves one day, if they eat too much, they will turn into rain .”

"Oh." Dazai folded his legs and sat down, and leaned against me, using my legs as a pillow, "You're so cool."

"Don't be too pushy, there are still differences between men and women." Having said that, after all, Dazai is only three years old now, so I can't be too mean to him.Besides, the seaside is indeed a bit muggy.

Three-year-old Dazai hadn't shed the baby fat yet, and his chubby hands were as fleshy as two little steamed buns. When he touched them, they were all steaming.

"Qingxixi, tell me a fairy tale! My mother never told me a fairy tale... No one ever told me." He stretched out his short hand and drew an arc in mid-air, "I want something nice! I want something romantic!"

"What do you know about romance, you kid?" I squeezed his fat chin, "I'll tell you—"

When I saw the sea, the first thing I thought of was the story of Jingwei reclamation, but this story was once ruthlessly ridiculed by the young Dazai.

I have nothing to say.

Jingwei is indeed doing something that can never be completed.Yugong moved mountains, and Yugong still had descendants to count on, but Jingwei only had him.

It requires one person to fight against the whole sea.Repeating the same thing every day, flying to a future where there is no future at all.

"Let me tell you a story about "The Daughter of the Sea." This can be regarded as the enlightenment of fairy tales, and it has touched countless children.

For her favorite prince, the little mermaid turned into bubbles in the sun, and died a sad and tragic death.

After I finished speaking, there was a slight emotional ups and downs in my heart, but Dazai didn't respond.

"You didn't understand, did you?"

Dazai tilted his head and asked, "Why didn't this lady tell the prince from the beginning that she saved him?"

"Eh?"

"I said it at the beginning, won't the prince be able to remember her?"

"...She was a fish at the time, she was embarrassed."

"What about after that?" Dazai asked, "Why didn't you tell him after that?"

"She couldn't speak after that." I explained helplessly, "her voice was sold to the witch in the sea."

"Isn't her father the king of the sea? Can't even kill a witch? Just grab something if you need it."

"..."

The more I talked, the more I couldn't continue. A touching fairy tale, but it ended with the logic of robbers.The most amazing thing is that I actually think what Dazai said makes sense, but it doesn't make sense.

"The reason why the little mermaid didn't tell the prince was because of her love for the prince and her reservedness as a woman." I still decided to correct his three views.

Dazai was puzzled: "A woman's reserve, what is that?"

"..."

"Qingxixi, do you have the reserve of a woman? Show me your reserve! Let me see it too!"

I knocked on his head heavily: "Let's take a nap, ancestor."

He yawned, held one of my hands, and put his palm on the back of my hand. After opening and closing his slender eyelashes up and down a few times, he finally couldn't resist the drowsiness.

In summer, the days are long and the seaside is sweltering. I tore out the torn pages of The Complete Suicide Manual and folded it into a fan, and suddenly remembered that I liked playing like this when I was a child.

I asked Fumta Marui for a long vacation. At first, I wanted to resign, because I was not sure when the affairs here would end. Although his shop was not very busy, he still needed manpower, so I couldn't occupy that position.

But Fumiya Marui disagreed, and asked me to deal with my own affairs first, and the job in the coffee shop would be reserved for me. He first recruited two part-time students to take my place.

He didn't ask me what I was doing, he just said that if I needed help, don't forget to call him.Yukimura and Sanada also sent emails to greet me, and the people from the detective agency helped to find the Five Decays of Heaven and Man and the destroyed [book].

My bad mood was healed in an instant, and the undetermined future began to gradually become clear.Along the way, I met more good people than bad people.I'm lucky.

Ango Sakaguchi privately chatted with me about the post asking who Oda Saku was in Moments.

The beginning of the chat was about Rosalie's final choice to live in the book.I confess everything.Including the fact that Luanbu and Tuosi have died together.

At the beginning, I thought Rosalie was crazy, and she wanted to resurrect the dead.But now I'm doing something as crazy as her.

"But it's still different." I explained to Ango Sakaguchi, "Ranpo-san wants to live, he told me. So this is our wish."

"How's your power?"

As a member of the Special Ability Department, Ango Sakaguchi has not reported my affairs up to now, probably because of the face of Ranpo and the detective agency.

"I'm still practicing, by the way, I turned Dazai into a toddler. He's...only three years old now." I sighed, "Do you want to meet him?"

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, and Ango Sakaguchi was hesitating.

Dazai, who was resting on my lap, woke up first, rubbed his sleepy eyes, leaned over and asked, "Qingxixi, who are you talking to?"

Ango Sakaguchi immediately rejected me: "Sorry, I'm a little busy."

"If Oda Saku is revived, do you think it will be Oda Saku's own wish?"

Before he hung up, I quickly asked the question, my eyes fixed on Dazai's face.

"Do you think Oda Saku himself would want to be resurrected? I want to be honest. You are his friend, you know him best."

"He probably," I pressed the speakerphone, and Ango Sakaguchi's volume instantly increased. "……In no mood."

"Thank you, Mr. Sakaguchi." I hung up the phone and said softly, "If you're so sure, that person named Odasaku must have experienced a very desperate thing. Right, Dazai?"

Dazai looked at me obediently, without any emotional change on his face.

"Odasaku?"

"It's nothing. What do you want to eat tonight? We have to eat dinner early, and we won't be able to see the dishes when it gets dark."

I touched his hair, his hair was soft and slightly curly at the end.I suddenly felt that it would be nice to let him grow again like this.

“Canned crab meat and ochazuke!”

Instead of being a mafia, go to school to receive an orthodox education, and hand him over to Mr. Nezu, the principal of Xiongying High School, to raise him-this idea was dismissed after only a second.

"I know that eating canned crab meat will make my stomach hurt at night after eating too much."

"I'm not afraid of pain!"

In fact, that night, he ate a big meal without any abnormalities, but I, who was cautious, developed a high fever.

The head was heavy, as if it weighed a thousand catties.The faces of Luanbu and Tuosi kept appearing in my mind. They were arguing, their mouths were moving very fast, but I couldn't hear what they were saying.

Oda Tsukuru also appeared at the same time, but because I didn't know what he looked like, Oda Tsukuru was like a mosaic with his name written on it in my dream.

Gradually, I also dreamed about Grandpa Xingzuo.Grandpa took me by the hand and took me through the long streets of Yokohama for the first time at dusk.

"Qingxi, if you walk this road alone in the future, you must not shrink back."

"Don't be afraid, don't regret. Just move forward."

I was shocked.

I opened my eyes, and in front of me was Dazai's magnified face.

"Qingxixi, you have a fever, it's so hot, it's almost cooked, you can eat it with some soy sauce."

"……seems like it."

He looked at me with iris eyes without blinking, then leaned over and pressed his cold forehead against mine.

"There's really nothing I can do about you."

In a trance, I remembered that many years ago, it was still in this room, and it was still me and Dazai.

He had a high fever in the middle of the night, and I did the same. I pressed my forehead against his forehead and said, "There's really nothing I can do about you."

In the interlaced time, each of us fell ill.
