[Bungo Stray Dogs] Bless the world

"Go to the shrine to make a wish on New Year's Day? Sorry, I don't have any wishes to make." Faced with Xiangli's request to go to the shrine early in the morning on New Year's Day, Akutagawa refused in his usual indifferent tone, as if thinking that he did not make a wish in the new year I also feel that making a wish is useless.

"Don't go." However, Kaori seems to be used to this kind of behavior from him, so she put her hand on the hand that he put aside, and leaned over to stare at his face, "Are you really not going?" She coquettishly said in a voice that would melt away.

Although I seldom act like a baby, it seems that it is not a problem to act like a baby today. This is really a strange thing-a man wants his woman to be independent, but also hopes that she can act like a cat to him, although it is inevitable to say it A little ashamed, but Akutagawa felt that he was not exempt from this issue.

- not to go.

These two words were stuck on the tip of his tongue, and Akutagawa sighed, "Let me get up and get dressed first." After saying this, he coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment.

Hearing what he said, Xiangli couldn't help but blush, and turned her head away from looking at him, "But I want to go." She murmured and whispered, "Look, even if it's not a wish in the new year, stay It’s a good start, or it’s okay to prepare a small goal that you want to achieve in a year.”

"There's no need to go to the shrine for that kind of thing." Sitting by the bed, he wanted to put on his usual black windbreaker, but found that he only had the formal suit that Xiangli had prepared for him, "..." She must have already made up her mind , Today, I have to drag him to the shrine no matter what.

Akutagawa has nothing to say about these cautious actions of Kaori, but what can he do?It's already... a relationship like this.

Happiness is also true, and it is also true that he will never leave him again.

There is no wish to make, but it is true.

He already had all his wishes in his hands, so there was no point in making a wish.

But if Xiang Xiang wanted to go, he actually didn't mind accompanying him.

However, when he came to the shrine, Akutagawa realized that things were not so simple - if viewed from the perspective of others, it was like this young girl in a cute kimono who forcibly pulled the young man in formal clothes, and put this unwilling man on his face. The wishing young man pushed forward, "Oh, let's make a wish."

"I really don't understand why you insist on me making a wish." Akutagawa was pushed forward by her like this, and then he was immediately glared at by Kari, "Ah, Ryunosuke, that's what annoys you the most—" she complained half-jokingly He said, "Occasionally enjoy the fun that ordinary people can enjoy!"

Complaining about his incomprehension, Xiangli pushed harder, Akutagawa sighed in response, and he took a step forward, "Wow!" Xiangri, who didn't expect him to do this, staggered forward, but Akutagawa hugged him in time, "Be careful." He reminded in a neutral tone.

Shari nodded with a smile and stuck out her tongue.

As for what kind of wish Akutagawa went to ring the bell to make, probably only he and the gods know.

However, the young man who stepped down the stairs saw the girl smiling and looking at her with her hands behind her back. She didn't seem to want to go up and make a wish at all, so she looked at her with strange eyes, and Xiangli looked around, "Ryunosuke, why is this so look at me?"

"Isn't it strange that the person who brought me here didn't make a wish himself?" The young man put his hands in the sleeves of his kimono and asked this question seriously.

"Well, actually, I don't have any wishes to make." Xiangli looked at him with a smile, "Should I make a wish too?" She stared at Akutagawa with wide eyes, "Because the wishes I can make don't have to Even the gods can do it—"

She looked into the young man's eyes and showed a gentle smile. The cold breeze in the middle of the first month slowly blew her long hair. The girl closed her eyes and clasped her hands in front of her chest, "If you want me to make a wish , I hope Ryunosuke can show a little more smile—”

"Such a wish can be fulfilled for me without a god?"

The girl opened her eyes and looked tenderly at the young man in front of her.

Then--

"Wow! Ryunosuke, don't hit me on the head!" However, this warmth didn't last long, and Xiangli hid aside with her head in her hands, not sure if it was because of shyness or other reasons. Akutagawa patted her on the head unceremoniously.

But when she looked up at him—

As she wished, she saw him smile at her after a brief moment of awkwardness.

- that's great.

"Miss Xiangli, we are here!" A familiar call came, and Xiangli looked for the reputation, but saw everyone from the detective agency waving at her, although the moment she saw Akutagawa, Atsushi and Kunikida They all subconsciously sullen their faces.President Fukuzawa Yukichi looked at Akutagawa indifferently with his sleeves covered, as if he was waiting for something.

The latter stood up straight, and then walked towards President Fukuzawa as if he had made up his mind.

Kunikida's hand was already on the notebook paper in his bosom, but the expected situation did not appear. The cold and arrogant young man ignored the others, but walked up to Fukuzawa Yukichi and bowed to him, "It's rude to say that, but—"

"Please leave Kari to me."

As the father, the man folded his hands and looked at the thin young man in front of him expressionlessly. After a long time, he opened his mouth and said, "For a young man who is full of bad deeds and is still engaged in a subtle job, tell you that he hopes to pamper you." When the daughter is handed over to him, do you know what the average father would do?"

"... I know."

In the next second, he was grabbed by the collar and fell out.

Resisting not to fight back against Rashomon, he accepted the anger from his father.

"Ah! Ryunosuke!" Kari covered her mouth, and ran to Akutagawa who was thrown to the ground, but he grabbed his hand, "It's okay."

"Shari has her own decision, even if it's her father, I can't stop her from making her own choice." Fukuzawa Yukichi raised his hands and looked condescendingly at the young man in front of him, "Make your own decisions, Don't ask me." After speaking, as if sulking to himself, he turned and left.

Xiangli stood up and bowed deeply to the back.

——Although, knowing the future is unknown.

——Although, I know that there may be many things that will happen in the future.

However, at this moment as long as you are by my side is enough.

That's it.

Even in the face of the unknown, you can move forward without fear.

Dazai's Easter Egg

Kunikida: "Is this your New Year's gift?"

The young man holding the hemp-colored kimono smiled and said, "Yeah, I really don't know how to give gifts. The hemp-colored cotton kimono can only be worn in summer. If this is the case, I can barely survive until next summer." Well." He complained so frivolously, "Really, why did you give me such a gift? You really don't know how to be considerate."

"Anyway, be grateful to others for giving you gifts!" Kunikida complained.

Yes, why give him such a gift?

— Except for the person who gave the gift and Dazai himself, probably no one knows.
