[Bungo Stray Dogs] Bless the world

The morning wind blew the young man's temples. I don't know whether it was a natural or acquired reason. The ends of the temples showed some white, which made the young man's originally thin body and pale face look sick.

He has not been back to this place for four years.

Standing here today, the land looks ridiculously desolate.

——The place where he once lived is now a desolate cemetery, the only stele in this land——Under the three stacked stones, all the relics left by the woman who raised him when he was young are buried .

There used to be an old fig tree on the left side of the yard, but now only the scorched branches are covered with parasitic vines. Next to the fig tree, there used to be a large piece of saxifrage, but now there are only weeds about half a person tall. Weeds, an untended cemetery has such a desolate and sad atmosphere.

The young man didn't know why he came back here on a whim, he just wanted to come back and have a look.

Take a look and go.

After standing here quietly for a long time, when he left again, he had a rusty box covered in mud in his hand.

——He can't stay here for too long, nostalgia for the past is not something to be proud of and indulge in, he has other things to do.

Now that he has chosen to walk alone in the darkness, it would be ridiculous and cowardly to put on a gesture of nostalgia for the past.

This is his own will, which has nothing to do with the wishes of the dead man.

-

"It would be nice if it rained." Xiangli sat by the window of the bar, looking out quietly, and there was a little girl sitting in front of her, about thirteen or fourteen years old, she should be smiling like a flower Sometimes, however, the look of death appears.

The girl was unmoved, but just sat there quietly.

"Atsushi said, do you want soup tofu?" Xiangli suddenly smiled, stood up and walked in front of the girl, held her hand and smiled, "Then go?"

"Eh... wait?" Kunikida, who was watching, suddenly stood up and patted the table.

"Didn't this kid say it? If you eat tofu, you'll talk about everything." Xiangli narrowed her eyes and smiled brightly, "Jutang's tofu—anyway, I just got the manuscript fee—"

"Are you still going out? It's obvious that something so extreme happened yesterday." Kunikida pushed his glasses.

"I'm fine," Xiangli raised her hand and turned around, "Look, don't you have any minor injuries?"

"..." Now that he has said that, Kunikida, who has been worrying about his life for thousands of years, has no choice but to sigh, and takes Xiangli and Atsushi to Tachibana Hall.

To be honest, if he didn't bring Xiangli this time, probably... with Dun's wallet, he would cry for a while.

After asking who was manipulating Kyoka behind her back, Kunikida and Atsushi went out and chatted in private. The girl named Kyoka was quietly eating tofu. Smiling—or she has always been like this, looking at everyone with a gentle smile, as if this smile came from her soul, with kindness and joy.

Jinghua raised her head to look at her, then lowered her head again, but as if thinking of something again, she raised her head - after repeating this several times, she asked in a voice that seemed to have no emotional fluctuations: " Why are you smiling at me like that?"

"Because you're cute." Xiangli smiled and rested her chin on the back of her hand, looked at Jinghua and replied, "I like all cute things."

"..." It was probably the first time to be praised so bluntly, Jinghua's face was slightly flushed, and after a while, the girl lowered her eyes, "I have killed 35 people in six months. Qualifications to be praised like this."

Xiangli raised her face and sat up straight, looking gently at the dead girl in front of her, "Kyoka, can you control your own supernatural power?"

The girl blinked her eyes with a dazed look on her face.

"It can't be right." Xiangli stretched out her hand and touched Jinghua's head, "Then—the one who should be blamed should not be you—but the one who didn't guide you correctly and made you become the 'you now' that person."

"The will to use your ability to kill all the time, who came from it?"

Jinghua lowered her head and squeezed her sleeves tightly.

"Even so—" the girl's weak voice echoed softly, "always—"

I still took 35 lives.

Even breathing feels sinful.

"Ah, don't think about these things." Xiangli grabbed Jinghua's hand and pushed her towards Atsushi, "If there is anything you want to go, just open your mouth." She clapped her hands, "Let Atsushi take you with me." You go, squeeze his wallet as hard as you can."

"...Miss Xiangli, what's wrong with this!" just walked in, with a serious face, when he heard the bad news, he couldn't help screaming, and the atmosphere became inexplicably relaxed.

"Because I'm going on a date with Kunikida-kun." Kari smiled and took Kunikida's arm, and the latter frowned, "Don't talk nonsense!"

However, no matter how much you protest, there will be no results.

He was just dragged out by Xiangli, without any room for resistance.

"I said you..." Kunikida's complaint stuck in his throat, "Hey... you—tsk." He shook his head, took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Xiangri, "Really—" I really don't know What should I say.

Inexplicably, I cried like this.

"It's really rude, suddenly..." Xiangli wiped the tears from her face, and put away the handkerchief, "I will return it to you after I wash it."

Kunikida, who couldn't escape worrying about his old mother's life, sighed, but couldn't hold it back after a while, "Just now, when the little girl said that the person behind her is Akutagawa, what exactly did you want to ask?"

Xiangli raised her head and looked at Kunikida in surprise, after a while, she burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at... Really."

"Kunikida-kun, you are really sharp." Kari tilted her head and smiled, "Actually, it's nothing, if I want to say something, I want to ask—"

Her voice was as light as it was inaudible, slowly and gently reaching Kunikida's ears, "What I want to ask is—"

"That man called Akutagawa... what kind of person is he?"

"——It's a plague dog." When Kunikida heard the name from Kaori's mouth, he replied, "I know you are a kind person——but give up, that level of mad dog is not something you can do. Take it home."

Shan Li didn't answer him, and after a while, she raised her head——

I don't know when it started, the tears were all over my face again, I couldn't stop them, they fell down one after another, wet the front of my clothes, I tried to smile but couldn't help it - weeping with sadness.

"--It's really strange--"

Why are you crying like this?

Why does my chest feel clogged with great sadness when I hear that name?Why when she saw that person, she would feel a heavy sadness from that person, so sad that she wanted to reach out and hug her.

Why can't the tears be stopped?

--like,

--like,

--like,

Forgot something very important - even if you can't remember it, you will be out of breath the moment you hear it.

Also—from the soul, revealing great sadness.

It is impossible not to cry.
