If I don't quit, I will be forced to usurp the throne.

Mr. Ranpo assigned all the tasks, and everyone was busy.

My cooperators also arrived, and unexpectedly brought a powerful reinforcement-Selty.

I was shocked when I saw the person coming, the one who said something in a muffled voice must be the type of Shizuo!

I don't know if it's because I was poisoned earlier, Mr. Sen can still walk, but I have to sit down and rest from time to time, so I just stayed behind.

Of course, I am not a freelancer. I am contacting the police and exchanging intelligence information with Mr. Ango.

It's just a pity that Mr. Ango ignored my suggestion of bringing a bear as unreasonable trouble.

Then, I saw Mr. Dazai coming.

"Hey, Mr. Dazai, Fran's illusion looks ok, right? But the effect of your illusion doesn't last long... you should take a good rest and heal your wounds." I greeted naturally, "Ah, and...Dun Dun and Akutagawa were the infiltrators? Don't they quarrel?"

"So far, there seems to be no problem."

"Hey——" I was a little surprised, I lowered my head and continued to edit the email, "It seems that Akutagawa has also grown up..."

Then I don't have to send Akutagawa's dirty evidence package to Dun Dun so that he can use it to threaten Akutagawa to cooperate obediently.

"Xiao Qian, let me ask you a question."

"Huh? You said." I looked up politely while answering.

The black-haired young man smiled, raised a finger, and said briskly, "[Leader Dazai]... who is it?"

……Hey?

...Hey hey hey—wait——!

"How do you know..." Because I was too shocked, I was confused and said it subconsciously. After realizing that I had slipped my words, I stopped immediately.

But because of this, I have already missed the best time to play dumb.

I stared at each other, my eyes gradually became sharper...

"Whether it's trying to pretend to be dizzy or knock me out of memory, it won't work, Xiaoqian. I can see that you're faking dizziness, and you can't do the latter now."

"... Tsk!" I clicked unwillingly, turned my head to one side, and made a gesture of zipping my mouth, "I will never say it."

"It's okay, I'll tell you what Xiaoqian doesn't say." Osamu Dazai smiled, pulled the chair and sat down, with an attitude of ease, "During the time when Tsunayoshi Sawada and the others went missing ten years later, you Also disappeared at the same time, but not with Tsunayoshi Sawada and the others... Logically speaking, you should also appear ten years later because of the device ten years later at that time, but Tsunayoshi Sawada and the others don’t know about you, so just It proves that you went to another place... and there is a reason for it, where you went, who deliberately created this [accident]?"

"..." My eyes began to wander, and I began to recite Buddhist scriptures silently in my heart to keep myself calm.

However, Osamu Dazai continued: "No... it shouldn't be a place, but [world], right? Someone in that world told you about [book], so you did this to [book] after that I care. And Xiaoqian, you should know the [Book] better than anyone else, maybe you have touched some truth that cannot be known to others, you must protect the [Book] while keeping this secret... It makes you willing to do so To do it, to prove that this [book] is not only as simple as its function, it may be because someone misuses the [book] and it will lead to irreparable and terrible consequences."

I couldn't keep calm anymore, I couldn't help frowning, and looked at the other party uncontrollably.

The black-haired young man didn't look at me, but tilted his head, his eyes fell elsewhere, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he said to himself: "The reason why I think it's [World]... firstly, it's because I came from Pengo Li. Over there, I learned about Bran Jesso's ability, and confirmed the existence of the concept of parallel worlds. And Xiaoqian, your subsequent performance differences all reflect this... I can almost deduce some situations in that world based on the previous ones— ——You were not adopted by Odasaku, but Akutagawa was picked up; in that world, you and Atsushi have a good relationship or even a close relationship, and Atsushi respects you or depends on you?"

"...Why do you know Odasaku..." I said with some difficulty, "Although I did become hostile to Akutagawa after I came back that time, I have been playing with Akutagawa before, and there is obviously no difference in behavior..."

"Ah, because I asked when I met Odasaku just now. Since you went to Odasaku to cry and complained as soon as you came back, you can almost understand what you said?"

Me: "..." You bastard!How dare you take my father's word for it!

I was a little restless, thinking about how to escape, but the other party directly shattered my delusion: "Everyone has their own mission now, and no one will come. You don't have to ask Chuya to come, I and Zhong also said that the condition for me to help me to solve this incident quickly is to let me talk to you alone during this time."

...God!My boyfriend and my own father have sold me!I am simply the poorest person in Yokohama!

Knowing that I couldn't escape, I looked at him resignedly: "Then, Mr. Dazai, how do you know... that you know the leader of Dazai?"

"Ah, Xiaoqian, you said it yourself." The other party's tone suddenly became relaxed, "It was at the hot spring that day, it was easy for you to slip up when you were drunk, so be more careful next time."

...God!I actually betrayed myself!I am simply the poorest person in the world!

I couldn't help but choked up: "Then what? How much do you know now? Don't try to lie to me by saying that you know everything and then come to me. Even if I'm drunk, I can't tell the key information. I'm a professional. trained."

"Well... let's talk about Xiaoqian, you... are very afraid of my death." The black-haired young man's eyes fell on me, and his voice became a little lower. "I probably guessed that you witnessed it with your own eyes. I died, but I didn't think much about the details... But if you call me in another world the leader, I'll roughly understand."

"It should be... the me in that world, I got the [book] for some reason and did something, and after I finished it, I committed suicide, right? If it's just like this, Xiaoqian, you won't react so much... So, it should be, just committing suicide in front of you, Xiaoqian? And it was because you just didn’t save Xiaoqian... No, it should be because you refused to save someone.”

Osamu Dazai spoke calmly while adjusting his words.

I couldn't help lowering my head halfway through the hearing. I don't know if it was because the person in front of me overlapped with the picture in my memory or because of the weakened self-control caused by this damn virus. I couldn't hold back for a while, wow Crying loudly: "Wow - I'm sorry -"

"...Huh? Xiaoqian?" The black-haired young man was a little confused, and called out to me.

"Actually, I don't know if anyone has been saved! Obviously I know you...ah no, it's not you...Obviously I know he doesn't want to live, but I tried my best to save him to make myself feel better." But this is not what he wanted! I always feel that I did something wrong, but, but..." I was talking, feeling really sad, the word order was a bit messed up, and I was crying because I was crying. Too anxious to hiccup, "I always feel that my actions are so despicable...but I really still..."

I was talking to myself over there, and then I felt a hand put on my head and rubbed it twice, accompanied by a helpless sigh.

"... Mr. Dazai?"

"Then...Xiao Qian, why do you think he committed suicide in front of you?"

"Huh?" I sniffed, thought for a while, and said cautiously, "Why, so that I can remember it better?"

"Although you are right to say that..." Dazai Osamu's tone became a little subtle, after staring at me with a complicated expression for a moment, he suddenly laughed, "Forget it."

"...Huh?" I looked up hesitantly. The black-haired young man had a smile on his face, and he seemed a little helpless. For a moment, I felt that the figure of the other party and the leader Dazai overlapped.

"It's okay." The other party said softly.

The author has something to say:

Did Dazai like Xiaoqian? He is a Schrödinger (.) But he knows what the leader Zai thinks about Xiaoqian (cigarette)

Why do I want the ending to be delayed longer and longer...Damn...I'm trying to finish two chapters!

In the next chapter, the Natsume-sensei you want is lost!
