The matter of the Eternal Life Society came to an end, and Suzuki Aoi's life returned to peace.

She didn't pay attention to the follow-up of Xia Youjie and Wujo Wu, because the president of the Eternal Life Society has been controlled, and may spend a lifetime in prison, the kind sanctioned by the international court.

Suzuki Aoi participated in the final aftermath, just like what she told Liudaomu in the dream space before, she erased the memory of those experimenters about the confidential information.

As for the information held by Peng Lie and Gao Zhuan, Suzuki Aoi did not intend to intervene-this is the business of the two organizations themselves.

What caught her attention was the clue about the book—this reality-altering prop was like a fuse, once ignited, it would make Yokohama even more chaotic.

At least for the time being, Yokohama still maintains a superficial 'calm'.

Combining the memories before the world merged, she probably guessed that the so-called clue should be written by the kind Russian leader of the House of Death.

But she had no evidence, and the president of the Eternal Life Society did not reveal anything under interrogation in the prison.

There is an undercurrent hidden under the calm water, Suzuki Aoaki maintains the life of an ordinary high school student, and at the same time sends some paper shikigami to patrol the sky over Yokohama.

After being separated from Suzuki Aoi for several days, Sanye has been following the puppet girl recently, and naturally became a little clingy after Suzuki Aoi came back.

My master's nerves were tense, and the clingy guardian spirit naturally saw all this in his eyes.

"Xiaokui..."

Mitsuba tugged at the corner of Suzuki Aoi's clothes with her hands.

"Can I help?"

Aoi Suzuki looked down and saw a miniature version of herself looking up at her, with no concealment of concern on her face.

After canceling the transformation, Snow is still in a deep sleep period, and it will take a while to wake up.Suzuki Aoi kept him at home and did not bring him to school.

By Xue's side, all negative emotions were absorbed, so she didn't feel any changes in her emotions before, but felt the same as before.

After leaving Snow's 'predator' range, this anxious feeling reappeared.

Realizing that her state of mind had affected the guardian spirit, Suzuki Aoi stretched out her fingers and gently stroked Mitsuha's head: "It's okay, I just feel that I'm still too weak."

She desperately wants to become stronger.

So strong that you don't need to worry about any conspiracy, complete crushing - this is something only a god can do.

But she is not a god—the soul barely counts as half, but she still cannot change reality at will like the legendary "book".

The voice of the guardian spirit brought her back to her senses, and it also made Suzuki Aoi reflect on the abnormalities in herself after returning to Japan from Italy.

The blond girl was leaning against the window, her brows were slightly wrinkled, she was thinking about something, and this demeanor made others afraid to talk to her.

She has changed a lot, Suzuki Aoi thought—in the past, the only person who could make her care so much was her mother who raised her.

but now...

There are more things that can hold her back, so she worries about gains and losses.

For example, the city of Yokohama, or those who cared about her and helped her.

Knowing that the rats in the house of death and the five declines of heaven and man will be detrimental to Yokohama, she has no way to change the status quo at this moment.Reckless intervention will only scare the snake - the Russian is as smart as Mr. Dazai.

The guardian spirit looked at her master worriedly: "Xiao Kui, you're starting to be in a daze again."

Hearing this, Suzuki Aoi put away all the messy thoughts in her head, and comforted the guardian spirit: "I'm fine."

The lunch break was coming to an end, and Aoi Suzuki returned to the classroom with Mitsuha—constant entanglement cannot change the reality, it can only increase troubles.

I can't figure it out, Suzuki Aoi intends to throw the problem to wise people to think about it.

So she called the almighty Mr. Dazai.

She didn't spend much time with Dazai, but unconsciously, she had given her all her trust.

Moreover, for some reason, Osamu Dazai never refused Suzuki Aoi's request for help—it was more like a tacit understanding.

The place where the two agreed to meet was in a coffee shop in an alley that was hardly visited by anyone.

"Suzuki-san, you are much more enthusiastic towards me than before." Osamu Dazai propped his chin with both hands, and looked at the blond girl opposite with a smile, "I used to take the initiative to come to you."

But now Aoi Suzuki took the initiative to find Osamu Dazai more than once.

The girl's expression didn't change in any way because of the teasing words.

Osamu Dazai added: "However, your expression is still the same as before."

Suzuki Aoi's eyes fell on the face of the black-haired young man: "Mr. Dazai is the same."

If Suzuki Aoi has little expression on his face, then Osamu Dazai seems to be wearing a mask all the time, no one can see through his heart.

Hearing this, Osamu Dazai just chuckled, and then looked at Suzuki Aoi: "Is there anything I can do for you, this beautiful lady."

They are not friends, nor do they have any relationship that can be called close, but they can trust each other.

Osamu Dazai knew about 'books', Suzuki Aoi had told him before.I also know something about the organization of the Rats of the Dead House.

"I feel...very uneasy." Suzuki Aoi lowered her eyes, her slender eyebrows slightly furrowed, "I know something is going to happen, but I feel powerless."

"...very unwilling."

Osamu Dazai stared at her for a while.

"This is the first time I've seen Suzuki-san like this."

This was the first time he saw Suzuki Aoi being so afraid of a person, but the demon Fyodor was indeed worthy of their fear.

Dazai Osamu looked serious, and he asked, "Are you afraid?"

Afraid of the means of the demon Fyodor?

"...Fear?"

Suzuki Aoi was a little puzzled, for her, this was an unfamiliar word.

She didn't turn pale, nor tremble, and there was no trace of weakness on her pretty face.

but...

"You're scared, Suzuki-san."

Dazai Osamu's soft yet firm words penetrated into Suzuki Aoi's ears without revealing anything.

The black-haired young man looked down at her, his gentle face looked a little compassionate under the warm light, although this was just an illusion.

"How incompetent are the guardians of Yokohama to make a child who is not yet an adult so disturbed..."

His voice was very soft, as if he was mocking himself.

"It will be tiring to take care of everything, Suzuki-san." Osamu Dazai yawned, his tone became lazy, and he lay on the table like a boneless cat.

"Relax, relax, and do what you are supposed to do."

As a bastard who often fishes at work, Osamu Dazai feels that he is very qualified to say this.

Look at his partner Kunikida Doppo, his temper has become worse and worse due to overtime work, and he used violence to control violence at every turn, causing him to suffer a lot of beatings.

"Even if you are eager to help, others may not appreciate it." Dazai Osamu looked at Suzuki Aoi with a smile, "Maybe you may feel that you are too affectionate and a little redundant."

The last two sentences sounded a bit harsh.

Suzuki Aoi asked, "Mr. Dazai thinks I'm being sentimental?"

"No." He shook his head with a smile, and rested his chin on the table as a fulcrum, "How should I put it... I just feel a little overwhelmed."

A fire burst out from the bottom of my heart.

Suzuki Aoi's brows frowned even tighter, but the roaring qi was rushing through her body with fire, and she felt that her body temperature had suddenly risen a lot—maybe it was an illusion.

It was the first time for a girl to experience such a feeling, and after the agitation, she became confused—why did she become like this because of two or three words of Osamu Dazai?

Both body and mind seem to be out of control.

This sudden feeling was too complicated for Suzuki Aoi to simply classify this feeling.

"Are you angry?" Leziren watched with relish, and tried to continue fanning the flames.

"...No." Suzuki Aoi actually didn't want to pay attention to him, but she gave a simple response out of politeness.

Osamu Dazai suddenly changed the topic again, and touched his deflated abdomen.

"I'm so hungry, what shall we have for dinner?"

Suzuki Aoi: "..."

When did she say she was going to have dinner together?

"Crab meat stew and crab meat stew! There is a delicious crab meat stew nearby!" Dazai Osamu was completely focused on the dinner, and he stood up excitedly and planned to leave.

"Want to go with me, Suzuki-san? Of course it's your treat."

Suzuki Aoi: "..."

Why should I treat you?

After struggling for a moment, Aoi Suzuki stood up and followed Osamu Dazai's pace.

Just treat the guests, treat them as a reward for free consultation.After all, Osamu Dazai left his job to meet the appointment after a phone call. In the final analysis, she was asking for something.

Following behind Dazai Osamu, Suzuki Aoi's mood has regained calm, and her eyebrows are unconsciously stretched.

Mitsuha sat on her shoulders, silently feeling Suzuki Aoi's state, and found that the heavy things that were pressing on the girl before had been dispelled.

Although it is inconvenient for her to communicate with the owner because of outsiders, but...

This unreliable adult finally did a good thing, Sanye thought.

But the words just now were really harsh.

......

It was not too early, and after saying goodbye to Osamu Dazai, Aoi Suzuki decided to take a taxi home.

Suzuki Haru had already gone home, and was processing documents in the living room while waiting for his daughter to come back.

Hearing the movement at the door, Suzuki Haru completely let go of his last worry, and closed the laptop on his lap with a smile.

"I'm back, mother."

The woman responded gently: "Well, welcome home."

It is an extremely happy thing for Suzuki Haru to see a healthy daughter every day.

After finishing her homework, Suzuki Aoi lay on the bed after taking a shower, only feeling that her whole body became more relaxed, and drowsiness also slowly came up.

Anyway...

Thank you, Mr. Dazai.

Of course she understood the young man's intentions, even though they didn't get along very well before.

Dazai Osamu-an unassuming and very reliable adult.

Suzuki Aoi turned over and stared at the guardian spirit nestled beside her.

"Sorry for worrying you."

as well as...

"Thank you."

Thank you for always being by my side.
