On the degree of compatibility between Guardian Egg and Yokohama

When passing the place where he committed suicide by diving into the water last time, Osamu Dazai couldn't help but stop and look in the direction where the figure appeared yesterday.

As expected, that person did not appear again.In this case, Ango Sakaguchi's theory of degeneration may not be useful.Because he was not sure whether the person he saw yesterday was a living person or just a dead soul.He has investigated the matter through all available channels, but found no clues.

It was as if yesterday's glimpse was just his hallucination.

Withdrawing his gaze, Osamu Dazai looked towards the river bank.He thought, maybe if he committed suicide again, he might be able to see that man again.He opened his hands and lowered his eyes to look at the water reflecting the sunlight, only to find Suzuki Aoi standing on the river bank below, as if talking to the air.

Talking to...air?Ms. Suzuki...can see the curse spirit?

If it's not talking to herself, then the only reasonable guess is that she's talking to a curse spirit, or something else invisible to the naked eye.Suzuki Aoi still had many puzzles to solve, so he wasn't too surprised to see such a scene.

Generally speaking, curse spirits cannot speak and cannot communicate with humans.As far as the girl's resolute attitude in exorcising the curse spirit before, she doesn't seem to be soft-hearted towards this kind of creature.

So...who is she talking to?Is that the invisible guardian spirit accompanying her?No... With such an expression and performance, it is clearly the appearance of facing a stranger.

Opposite the girl, stood a creature he couldn't see.

A guess suddenly appeared in my mind-Oda Saku's death has been confirmed.Suzuki Aoi can see spell spirits and guardian spirits, so does this mean that she can also see souls wandering in this world?

As soon as such a guess was generated, it hovered in his mind, domineeringly occupying all his thoughts.Osamu Dazai stood on the spot and looked down at the girl not far away for a moment, then walked towards the steps by the river bank without hesitation.

"Good afternoon, Suzuki-san."

Walking in front of Suzuki Aoi, the young man had the usual smile on his face, making it impossible to see his true feelings.

"Excuse me, have you ever seen a red-haired man? It's around here."

......

Seeing the man who appeared suddenly, Aoi Suzuki blinked her pale eyes.

Odasaku is a ghost messenger and has no entity.Only those who have spiritual power or who are at the border of life and death can see him, and Osamu Dazai obviously does not belong to this scope.

She has signed a contract with Oda Saku, and cannot tell anyone in reality of his existence, so she cannot give Osamu Dazai an affirmative answer.But in this kind of thing, cheating doesn't make sense either.Or to put it another way—Osamu Dazai came here to ask her because he knew she could see Oda Saku.

In front of this person, all lies seemed so clumsy.Suzuki Aoi chose to tell the truth.

"I have never seen a red-haired human being." Oda Saku is a ghost, so she has never seen a red-haired human being.

Staring at Suzuki Aoi for a moment, Osamu Dazai stretched out his index finger and stroked the chin: "Human...?" There are enough hints in this sentence.

The corner of his mouth curled up, and the young man showed a sincere smile towards the girl: "Thank you very much."

He already knew that the person he saw last time...or the soul, was definitely Oda Saku - there was no way he wouldn't fail to recognize his friend.

Seeing this, Aoi Suzuki nodded slightly towards Osamu Dazai, ready to leave this place.When passing by Osamu Dazai, she heard the young man asking in a young voice:

"Under what circumstances do humans... see dead people?" Without waiting for Suzuki Aoi to answer, he continued to add: "When you are dying, right?"

Only in this way can he see the soul of that person who is still lingering in this world.

After finishing speaking, Osamu Dazai walked a few steps forward to the river bank, staring at the sparkling water with his kite-colored eyes, he jumped down without hesitation.The moment he entered the water, the corners of his mouth were still hooked, and the expression on his face seemed satisfied.

......

Hearing the plop sound coming from behind, Aoi Suzuki stopped in her tracks.

Mitsuha's attention was always on Osamu Dazai. The sudden suicide of the black-haired young man caused the little guardian spirit to widen his eyes, and then anxiously pulled Suzuki Aoi's sleeve: "Xiao Aoi! He... ..”

She wants to change the image of Suzuki Aoi and go into the water to save people.

Walking to the river bank, the girl looked at Osamu Dazai's ups and downs in the water, and blinked her pale eyes.

She asked Sanye: "Should I save him?" The words contained real doubts, not the usual flat and emotionless.

The guardian spirit froze for a moment—this was the first time she had a disagreement with Suzuki Aoi.She asked the girl: "What is...should?"

Holding Mitsuba in her palm, Suzuki Aoi looked at her: "He doesn't want to be rescued by me. He also knows what he is doing."

For Osamu Dazai, the opportunity to meet Oda is more important than the dispensable life that can be given up at any time-should she ignore the wishes of others to save people?

Moreover, the appearance of Oda Work also just shows that death is not the real end.

But...it seems to be in line with the morality of this world to help someone who commits suicide. Indifferent bystanders are often regarded as accomplices.

"Should I save him?" The girl asked while holding the little guardian spirit: "Mr. Dazai will not regret his behavior now." Rather, if he really died, it would be the only thing for this person. is real relief.

Seemingly understanding the specialness of this young man, the guardian spirit thought for a moment and asked, "Then if he really dies, will Aoi regret it?"

Staring at the girl in front of him, the guardian spirit smiled and said, "Although I am a gentleman, rather than making Xiao Kui regret it, I'd rather be selfish and let others not do what they want."

The two looked at each other like this, and the atmosphere seemed warm and quiet for a while.The gentle night wind blows by the ears, the last ray of brilliance of the setting sun has sunk into the ground, and night is coming.

The guardian spirit heard the girl's voice ringing in her ear:

"Sanye, change your image."

"Roger that!"

......

Carrying the young man who was dripping with water all over his body, he walked ashore. After making sure that the other party was still breathing, Suzuki Aoi canceled the image transformation.

She used spiritual power to block the flow of water, so her clothes were not soaked, and there was no worry that she might catch a cold.

The young man lying on the ground coughed a few times, coughing up all the cold river water in his lungs.He opened his iris-colored eyes, and his long eyelashes were also wet by the river water, and there was even moisture in his eyes, looking fragile and embarrassed.

After fully regaining consciousness, Osamu Dazai shifted his gaze to the blond girl standing aside.

"I didn't expect...Miss Suzuki would save me."

Looking down at this pale young man, Suzuki Aoi knelt down and looked at him: "Actually, I don't want to save you."

Osamu Dazai found the girl's answer as interesting as her choice, so he asked with a smile, "Since you don't want to save me, why did you pick me up?"

"Because you are really going to die. If you die in front of me...I will find it very troublesome."

She could see that Osamu Dazai did not have the will to live, and even longed for death.But this time entering the water is different from the past, his desire/desire for death is more urgent, and his purpose is also stronger - for Odasaku.

So, if she doesn't care, Osamu Dazai will really die.

The young man stared at Aoi Suzuki for a moment, blinked his kite-colored eyes, and said softly, "So...if I didn't die in front of you, you wouldn't bother me at all, right?"

Suzuki Aoi didn't hide this, she nodded slightly: "That's right."

As soon as the girl's voice fell, another gust of night wind blew.This made Osamu Dazai, who had just come out of the water, shiver unconsciously, his nasal cavity also itched uncomfortably, and even the tip of his nose became a little red.

But even in such a situation, the young man still couldn't help laughing out loud, and even the corners of his eyes had a little warm moisture—what an indifferent guy, Miss Suzuki.

Even colder than he imagined.It's like a high god, the life and death of human beings are completely meaningless in front of her.But... this also made him more sure that the girl in front of him must know the way for him to meet Odasaku again.

Just like that, his whole body relaxed, Dazai Osamu lay on the grass and spread his body completely, his kite-colored eyes met the girl's light-colored pupils.

"I have no strength at all, Miss Suzuki." He said in a sticky tone as if he was acting like a baby, with a strong nasal tone: "It's too much...Obviously you also jumped into the water , but not wet at all."

"Simply... so unfair..." The last few words were almost inaudible.

Suzuki Aoi blinked her pale eyes, apparently a little puzzled by the sudden jump of the topic.In the end, she stood up and decided to leave—Osamu Dazai's reaction now made her a little puzzled, obviously committing suicide by diving into the water was the other party's own choice.

So...why complain?Shouldn't people be responsible for their actions?

Although she was puzzled, she didn't get entangled, and just nodded slightly to the young man and said goodbye: "I'll go back first, Mr. Dazai."

Lowering his eyes, Osamu Dazai lay on the grass for a long while, until the girl's back completely disappeared from his sight, he sat up, inserted his slender white fingers into the wet black hair, and tidied it up a few times indiscriminately. .

Afterwards, he stood up and left in the opposite direction to the girl.

......

In June, the temperature is rising day by day, and along with it, the students of Yokohama universities are looking forward to the upcoming school festival.Suzuki Aoi's class is no exception - this is the last school festival for their seniors.
