[Comprehensive] Confession Mask

……

Pure White Night, Yokohama.

"That is to say, it is in my dream now?"

Holding the young Yusae Mishima by the hand, Osamu Dazai looked at the girl and asked while pretending he didn't know anything.

"Well, this is the big brother's dream. But I can take you out, because I often walk around in the dream world like this..." the child version of Mishima Yuki said happily, with eyes full of Pure complacency and excitement, but after talking for a while, she frowned again: "What's the matter? Brother, your face is flushed red... Is there any discomfort?"

"No, it's nothing..." Osamu Dazai looked away with some guilt, and stretched out his hand unnaturally to shave his cheeks, because the young Yuzue Mishima who shared things with him without any intention was too cute, felt He was too happy to blush or something, he really couldn't tell such a small child.

"Oh... By the way, brother, you walk too fast, I can't keep up..."

Koyuki complained with some trouble, but Dazai paused, looked back at her, and asked after thinking about it: "Then, let me carry you away?"

"Yeah!" The girl with snow-white long hair flushed with joy when she heard that someone would carry her away, but after she answered this, she seemed a little embarrassed again. She blushed and turned her head to the side. Cautiously reiterated: "Ah, I... I'm just because I can't keep up with the big brother's footsteps, and I don't want to ask for a hug."

Osamu Dazai saw her shy and tangled emotions, but he only felt the shock of being hit by something, and almost had a nosebleed in front of the child.

"...Yu Sae-chan, big brother wants a daughter in the future."

——referring to ask her for one.

"Daughter?" The girl blinked her pure and clear eyes, because he spoke so fast just now, so she didn't understand for a while.

"...It's nothing, nothing *^_^*" Osamu Dazai picked her up in a very gentlemanly manner, and accidentally told her about it too early, wondering if it would scare her?

……

...

If so, under Dazai's hug, Yusako shared all kinds of troubles with him while observing his brother's strange reaction, and soon guided him to find a door, which is located at A wooden door at the entrance of the Armed Detective Agency building.

"After you push this door open, the nightmare will be over!" Koyuki put her arms around Osamu Dazai's neck lightly, and said with a smile: "My brother is so close to the door of the nightmare, we are all in the same city , it’s easy to find.”

When she talked about the topic of dreams, she was as cute as an elf. Osamu Dazai looked at her tenderly, thinking that she doesn't remember anything now, and he didn't specifically explain the meaning of this door to her, just It was just quite obedient, and opened the wooden door according to her prompt...

Then, I saw a pure white and innocent world, as gentle and quiet as a fairy tale.

Osamu Dazai was attracted by the purity of that space, so he didn't even need an introduction from Koyuki, he stepped through the door in a daze and entered that world directly.

"This is……"

"This is the pure white night. It is a spiritual world where no dreamer can exist."

Koyusa smiled and said, and then jumped off Dazai's arms, and then ran away lively in the world of Pure White Night - and Dazai lost a little warmth from Mishima Yusa, and subconsciously He stepped closer to where she was, his eyes tense.

"Yu Sae-chan, don't run too far..."

"Why? This is a world I'm familiar with. I won't get lost here."

Mishima Yuki grinned, she was obviously a little proud of being able to dominate this space.

But Dazai didn't think so, he was not used to her leaving his side, so he lowered his eyes and explained: "No, big brother is just a little scared..."

"Why are you afraid? I won't hurt big brother, and there won't be bad people or nightmares here, okay?" In Xiao Yuxie's cognition, she thought that Osamu Dazai was still worried about the dream about killing someone just now. Afraid, he blinked his eyes and explained: "And I will not die, and what happened just now is not angry."

"Will you forgive me? I just..." Dazai couldn't bear to continue.

"Of course! Speaking of it, I accidentally walked into the big brother's dream," Koyuki tilted his head, as if he didn't remember how he walked in, and then made a serious conclusion: " I must have lost my way too! This happens occasionally.”

Talking like this, Osamu Osamu returned to Osamu Dazai, and the latter squatted down to look at her, and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to stroke her hairy head.

"Or maybe you came here to save me."

"Rescue? It's not that powerful. The time for nightmares will end, and the big brother can wake up by himself." She couldn't understand what he meant, so she just explained the dream in a serious manner.

"No, without you, I will never go out."

Dazai held the girl's cheek affectionately, said a pun to the girl, and finally, out of gratitude, he couldn't help kissing her forehead lightly.As for the little girl, she blushed with embarrassment after being praised by Dazai with such gentle eyes.

"That little thing, Yuzai will do it for you no matter how many times."

"It's not a small matter for big brother."

"Although I don't understand it very well, but if big brother is happy, I will be happy too."

Koyuki hugged him again, rubbing her head against his shoulder.

Then, she asked cautiously, "Is the big brother still afraid?"

"...Scared." Osamu Dazai stretched out his arms to embrace the girl.

"afraid of what?"

"Big brother is afraid that you will disappear."

He answered very lightly, his tone revealing his weakness and desire to be comforted at the moment.

"How could it be that Yu Sae isn't going anywhere?"

"Big brother may... want you to stay by my side all the time."

Knowing that she would not understand, Osamu Dazai even said a little more.

"So that's the case...then there's nothing wrong with it!"

And You Xie smiled and agreed quite readily. After all, for her, it was just a matter of adding a friend to herself in the pure white night-it was a bit dull for her to stay here alone. She is still very happy to play with someone in her free time.

So, she happily accepted Osamu Dazai's request, and began to pull him along, introducing him to every plant and tree in her world little by little.

"Then, I made this slide yesterday, right? There is a small tunnel that can be drilled under here, and if you pass through here, you can reach another playground..."

"……what is this?"

"This is a garden. I saw it in a picture book. It's a place with many flowers and fruits—but, big brother, don't pick those apples and eat them. They are all fake, and they will be hard when you eat them."

"What about this?"

"This is a castle, and there are many, many princesses living in the castle!"

Mishima smiled and pointed to the strangely shaped castle, and along the way, Osamu Dazai had to sigh, it is really a world built by her, and the things that should exist here are determined by the girls' preferences.

And Xiaoyu Sae held Dazai Osamu's hand, walked and stopped suddenly, she looked at everything in front of her, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes.

"What's the matter?" Osamu Dazai looked at Yuzue Mishima in confusion.

"The things here... I didn't build it." Xiao Yusi held one cheek and looked at the buildings that appeared after passing through the park, which were obviously much more mature and majestic—for example, Chinatown, Skyscraper The wheel, the seaside promenade, and other attractions even reminded her of what she had just seen in Osamu Dazai's dream.

"This building looks a lot like the one I saw in my big brother's dream just now... Ah, this one too, this one too..." Sae Koyuki ran around in the unfamiliar environment with some confusion, while Dazai Osamu Seeing her like this, she also reacted instantly.

Because he has been getting along with the young Mishima Yusae all the time, and just now he saw his past in his dream world, so he was somewhat misled... He thought he was back in the past, but in fact Is not it?

He just returned to the past in terms of clothing, and no matter whether it was the pure white night or his dream just now, there should be no regression.That's why he walked from a bunch of fairytale buildings to this city that looks like a replica of Yokohama. This is a pure white night space built by the mature Yusae Mishima, so the style and content are also different.

It's just that Mishima Yusae in front of him is in the childhood stage, and he seems to have no memory of the present, let alone know him, and the whole person "rewinds back".So when she appeared in this pure white night created by the adult Yusae Mishima, she would only feel that it was against the law.

But it wasn't that other people built it for her, it was that she didn't realize that she had become a child.

She was alone, going back in time.

"In the end...why did you appear as a child?"

Osamu Dazai asked in confusion.

Could this be what Collom meant by "getting lost"?

【——Miss You Sae is facing not only injury, but also fear. 】

【—Even now, she should be trying to save the situation inside, so she has been unwilling to wake up. 】

Osamu Dazai suddenly remembered what Kurom had just said to him, and then turned his attention to Mishima Yukao, muttering to himself: "So the reason why I can't wake up is because you have become like this. look."

He remembered that when people face fearful things, they also instinctively adopt defense mechanisms to reduce their stress and emotional burden.In that case, he believed that this shrunken Mishima Yusao was the embodiment of what she was afraid of.

Thinking of this, Osamu Dazai slowly approached the doubtful girl again, knelt down and hugged her, and apologized to her confused face: "...Sorry, so you have been afraid all the time, but I Didn't notice."

Osamu Dazai reached out and stroked the girl's head, then showed her a gentle smile.

"But it's okay, Mishima-san, after all, that's why I'm here."

"No matter what the road is after this, I will always be with you, don't be afraid..."

He spoke cautiously, until he saw the girl in his arms, with hot tears flowing from her eyes, and trembling, he called out his name in a familiar tone.

"Too... Zai..."

……

The author has something to say: Isn't it very heartwarming!But the point of this chapter is...

It was Dazai with a harmless smile on his face and said to a small Yusa:

"Brother Yu Sae-chan wants a daughter after that"!

Don't worry, everyone, call the police one by one!
