The setting of the two characters is changing every day

"Am I dreaming?"

After the girl finished speaking, time seemed to stop flowing. She buried her head in the young man's arms, and tightly grasped the corners of his clothes with both hands, her fingertips turned white because of too much force.

As if not aware of her nervousness, Osamu Dazai chuckled.

"What do you say?"

"So... is it really a dream?" The light in Tiandao Future's eyes, like a candle flickering in the wind, completely dimmed.

He sighed, "Little Future, are you an idiot?"

Reluctantly pulling her away, Osamu Dazai put his face in front of her under the girl's puzzled gaze, "Look at me."

The Future of Heaven: "?"

After a while, he asked again: "Do you see anything?"

Turning his eyes around his face, Tiandao Future said with some uncertainty: "Dazai, you, you seem to have grown up a bit."

In my memory, there were still some juveniles who were fat as babies, but now they have completely grown into a tall and handsome youth.

"And it seems that the sun is much brighter." She showed a thoughtful expression, "Is there such a big difference between the eyes being sealed by bandages and the eyes being exposed? Or is it because you are actually a sunny boy in my subconscious ?”

Dazai Osamu: "..."

"Ahhh, there's no way out, you really are an idiot."

He took a deep breath, pressed her shoulders, and looked at her seriously.

"listen."

"Although it's true that this is a dream, I'm not a substitute you imagined..."

Tiandao Future retorted subconsciously, "Stand-in or something..."

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly froze, her eyes widened suddenly, and she stared blankly at the young man in front of her.

The latter smiled slightly, "That's right, that's what you think."

Tiandao Future: "..."

She stretched out her hand tremblingly, wanting to touch him, but when she was about to get close to him, she froze there abruptly, not daring to move any further.

Looking at the shrinking girl, Osamu Dazai sighed, stretched out his hand to hold her, and gently but firmly led her to caress his cheek.

"How about it?"

"Dazai..." The girl's voice trembled.

Osamu Dazai tilted his head, "Huh? What did Little Mirai want to say? Do you feel my truth?"

"It's not because of this." She shook her head hesitantly, "It's just..."

"only?"

"Your face is so cold, Dazai, aren't you cold?"

Dazai Osamu: "..."

"In terms of spoiling the scenery, you haven't changed at all... Ha Qiu~" Before he could finish speaking, he sneezed loudly.

"Look, you really have a cold." Tiandao Future felt a little helpless, "I told you not to jump into the water when you are fine." She said, she wrapped his arms around his waist, and put the other hand on his leg and directly pulled him into the water. He hugged him horizontally.

Startled by her sudden action, Osamu Dazai quickly pushed her, "Hey, what are you going to do, Mirai? Put me down quickly, how can a handsome and reliable mature man like me be beaten by a woman?" The child is in the princess's arms, do I not want to lose face?"

"Then how about I carry you?"

Dazai Osamu: "..."

Instantly settled down.

When he came to the shore, Tiandao put him on a piece of clean grass in the future, and used his ability to dry his wet clothes, but suddenly remembered something in the next second.

"Ah, I forgot, your ability..."

But in the middle of the speech, he suddenly stopped, and Tiandao future widened his eyes, staring blankly at the scene in front of him.

Under the moonlight, fireflies danced all over the sky, and the black-haired young man in it was like a god dressed in stars.

"For...why?"

Isn't he real?

Then why does her ability work on him?

"Yeah, why..." Osamu Dazai smiled lowly, raised a hand casually, and immediately a firefly landed on his fingertips.

"Wow, Little Future's ability is very beautiful." After admiring it for a while, he turned his head to look at the girl, but he was stunned for a second.

"No, isn't it? You're not going to cry, are you?"

"I won't." Tiandao Future replied to him sullenly.

Dazai Osamu: "..."

His eyes were obviously red, and his mouth was stiff.

He couldn't help but sighed, "Didn't I already tell you, I'm real, if you don't believe me, touch it."

As he spoke, he stretched out a hand towards her, but the girl hesitated for a while and chose to hold it.

"How? Is it true?"

Tian Dao Future did not answer, but silently clenched his hand.

Seeing this, Osamu Dazai chuckled, "People tend to grow more calm as they get older, so how can you change to Little Mirai and you will become more pampered as you grow older?"

"I didn't, I just..."

Wanting to explain but not knowing what to say, Tiandao Future could only give up and choose to change the subject.

"You haven't told me why my ability works on you."

"It's very simple." This time, Osamu Dazai didn't try to make a fuss, but smiled and said the reason that the girl was very familiar with.

"This is a dream, of course there is everything in the dream."

Tiandao Future: "..."

It seems right to say so, but it always feels weird.

It's just that before she could figure out why, Osamu Dazai's next words made her no longer have the energy to think about those messy problems.

"Little Future, don't you have anything to say?"

"I..." Tiandao Future's body froze, she opened her mouth to say something, but her throat seemed to be stuffed with cotton, and she couldn't make a sound for a long time.

Seeing this, Osamu Dazai did not urge her, but watched her quietly, waiting patiently for her to speak.

"Dazai." After an unknown amount of time, the girl gently tugged at the hem of his clothes, and said in a trembling voice, "I'm sorry."

Osamu Dazai was slightly startled, and then she heard her continue: "I'm sorry, back then... left you alone."

She knew exactly how painful it would be for the person left behind, but she still made that choice in the end.

It was she who... gave up on him.

The surroundings fell into a wordless silence. After a long while, Osamu Dazai said expressionlessly, "I am indeed very angry about this."

"I'm sorry." The girl lowered her head, her crow feather-like eyelashes trembling slightly, covering all the emotions in her eyes.

A warm and cold hand suddenly fell on top of her head, Tiandao Future was slightly taken aback, looked up subconsciously, and saw the black-haired young man with a smile: "But because you returned Oda Zuku to me, So I'll forgive you this time, but—”

Having said that, his expression became serious again, "Just this time, don't make another example, do you hear me?"

"Dazai..."

She stared at him blankly and wanted to say something, but Osamu Dazai suddenly changed the subject and said, "Little Mirai, don't you ask me about Odasaku?"

As soon as this question came out, Tiandao Future became silent again.

Her eyes drooped slightly, and she clenched and loosened her hands on her knees. After a long time, she let out a breath and said slowly, "Oda Zukuo... How is he?"

"Very good." Osamu Dazai smiled, "He is now working as an investigator in the Armed Detective Agency with me, and he has adopted a lot of orphans. The most important thing is——"

"In the future, Odasaku's dream has come true."

Hearing that Tiandao Future could no longer control his emotions, he suddenly looked at him, "You mean..."

"That's right." Dazai Osamu nodded in affirmation, "Not long ago, Oda Saku won the Newcomer Award, how is it? Isn't it amazing?"

"Great... great, really great... I knew he would be fine..."

Looking at the excited and incoherent girl, Osamu Dazai gently touched her head, "You can rest assured now."

"Hmm." Tian Dao Future nodded emphatically with red eyes.

"Anything else to ask?"

There was another long silence, as if a century had passed before Tiandao Future looked at him, and asked in a hoarse voice: "He, Oda Zuo...do you remember me?"

"Remember."

It was Osamu Dazai's decisive voice that answered her.

The girl's breath missed a beat for an instant, and she stared at him blankly, "Really, really?"

"Don't you believe me in the future?"

"Of course I do, but..."

"When I cook, I always subconsciously make an extra serving. When I buy things for Saki Le and the others, I also buy an extra serving. Also, I prepare birthday cakes on April 4 every year..."

The black-haired young man narrated in a calm tone. Every time he said a word, Tiandao Future's body couldn't help but tremble. Finally, he looked at the girl who had burst into tears at some point.

"In the future, do you think this is called forgetting?"

She wanted to say something, but her throat was choked up and she couldn't say a word, so she could only shake her head vigorously.

Osamu Dazai didn't care, he stretched out his hand and gently wiped the tears off her face, "Okay, don't cry, you'll become a tabby cat if you cry any more."

It was rare for the girl not to refute his teasing, but sniffled her nose, and asked with anticipation and anxiety in her eyes: "Then, can I see him again?"

The young man she was watching lightly smiled, "Isn't this a matter of course?"

The erratic heart that couldn't find the landing point gradually settled down in his smile, but just when Tiandao Future wanted to say something, something happened suddenly.

The mist that had dissipated a lot diffused again, gradually covering the young man in front of him, Tiandao Future looked shocked, and subconsciously stretched out his hand towards him, but it was empty.

"Dazai!!!"

Compared to her panic, Osamu Dazai looked extremely calm.

He waved at her, "Don't worry, it's just time."

"But...but..."

Even though I knew from the beginning that we would be separated sooner or later, at least it shouldn't be like now, not even giving her time to say goodbye.

"Ah, by the way, I forgot to ask you a question."

The black-haired young man whose figure was half submerged in the mist suddenly exclaimed, then raised his smiling kite-colored eyes and looked at her tenderly.

"Little future, have you grown into a shining adult?"

Tian Dao Future was taken aback for a moment, and before he was about to disappear completely, he replied loudly: "Of course!"

"Really? That's fine."
