[Bungo Stray Dogs] With the Light and the Dust

"Then what do you think I am." Bei Chenguang neither jumped nor flustered, but said such a sentence calmly.

"Miss Guang doesn't need to eat, right?" Osamu Dazai stared at her intently, his eyes roamed around her body, and finally fell on her pair of divine light golden pupils.

Bei Chenguang nodded.

"I guessed at first that you might be some kind of experimental product like Chuya, but you don't need to eat and it's a bit like a robot." Dazai Osamu subtly raised the corners of his lips, "Disqualification in the world is of no use to you, the power you have is not Ability—and the ability to travel through time and worlds is not something that humans can control—at least in my intelligence network, no one has the relevant ability.”

"I can understand the emotions of others, but my own emotions are very light."

"Also, the faint sense of rejection that existed since I came to this world disappeared just now. Miss Guang must have done something."

"Because the time we have been together is too short, we can only get such a little information at present." He shook his head regretfully, and then made a guess in a joking tone, "But compared to experimental products or robots, I think Miss Guang is more like a robot. yes……"

"god."

Osamu Dazai's final note rose slightly, and he never moved his gaze away, only expecting to see something different in those eyes.

However, he was doomed to be disappointed.

Because after listening to his analysis, Bei Chenguang just let out a "huh", then shook his head with his expectant gaze, "Wrong."

"Why--?"

"That kind of thing doesn't exist." Bei Chenguang said, with some doubts in his tone, "Do you believe that those things exist?"

Dazai Osamu's expression faded, and he let go of his hand as if suddenly feeling bored.

"No... God doesn't exist, no one knows that better than I do."

He said with a sigh.

After speaking, he pulled up his coat and covered his head and lay down without saying a word as if he was sulking, turned around and faced Bei Chenguang with his back.

Bei Chenguang: "...?"

There was no sound in the cave for a while.

————

The second day on the isolated island began with the warm sunshine shining into the cave in the early morning and the faint chirping of seabirds coming from outside the cave.

In the cave, a mass of things under the black coat moved, and then slowly, a head with messy black hair poked out from under the coat.

The young man with a youthful face covered his mouth and yawned, wiped off the water from the corners of his eyes, straightened his wrinkled shirt and vest, and then turned his gaze to the boundary line of the sun.

"It's so strange..."

He muttered, scratched his messy hair with his hands, and then twisted a strand of hair hanging down his forehead thoughtfully.

Not to mention the first half of the night, but in the second half of the night he gradually fell asleep.It is obviously not an environment where you can rest assured, and there is even a "person" whose identity is unknown.

Since becoming the leader, it has been rare for him to sleep soundly.

The prying eyes of other agencies, the ubiquitous assassination, in order for Hong Kong gangsters to expand to a scale comparable to state agencies, orders need to be issued on time.

And... the plan for all his purposes.

It was a huge plan, so huge that anyone would faint if they knew it, but it was a pity that he couldn't show it off to his friends casually like the parallel world he saw in the Lupine bar at the party.

Although the taste of tasting alone has a secret joy, it is too lonely.

Originally, after the plan was successful, he should have a dream long sleep to make up for the lost sleep of the past four years.

But accidents always come unexpectedly, just like he is in this isolated island now, or he fell asleep defenselessly last night.

Osamu Dazai stood up, twisted his body with his hips crossed, and his bones made a dislocation sound.

Then he walked out of the cave, twisting his neck.

A new fire has been burned in the open space outside the cave, and a fish is placed on the fire, and some wild fruits covered with leaves are placed on the stones beside them, and the wild fruits are still stained with dew. Just picked it this morning.

In addition, there are a bunch of containers that can be used to hold things. It can be seen from the material that they are all wood.

He looked around, and finally saw Bei Chenguang who was squatting by the seaside cleaning a pile of leaves and stringing them together with something.

Are you making clothes out of those leaves?

――Such an idea wonderfully appeared in his mind.

There is no way, when thinking of survival on an isolated island, one will naturally think of the ending of having no clothes to wear and only wearing animal skins and grass skirts.

"Good morning, Miss Guang!" Thinking of this, he put his hands around his mouth and shouted, "What are you doing—"

"Ah, good morning."

Bei Chenguang stopped his movements and raised his head to respond, "It's a curtain used to hang at the entrance of the cave to keep out wind and rain."

"So it is."

"The food and water are put there, you take them yourself." Bei Chenguang confessed, lowered his head and continued to string the leaf curtains.

"OK--"

After a while, Osamu Dazai said vaguely, "Hey, this mushroom is pretty and delicious..."

Bei Chenguang didn't pay attention to it at first, until there was a sudden silence, then Dazai Zhizhi straightened up with a dazed expression, and approached step by step like a zombie.

As he was walking, he suddenly started to run, and then fell headfirst into the sea when he was caught off guard.

Bei Chenguang's eyes were fixed, and he immediately threw away the things in his hands and jumped into the sea to fish for Dazai.

The sinking Dazai Osamu opened his eyes quietly and looked at the sea surface, his black hair was floating, and bubbles kept coming out of his lips, but he slightly bent the corners of his mouth and opened his palms to the sea surface.

The light passing through the slits between his fingers casts faint dappled shadows on his face.

At this time, one hand grabbed his outstretched hand, and the other pulled him out of the sea forcefully.

"Cough, cough, cough...!"

He coughed desperately, and after he calmed down a little, he looked at Bei Chenguang with a surprised look, "Miss Guang, have you come to Santuchuan too? Cough cough, hurry up, there is a group of slugs chasing after you, if you don't leave quickly, you will go!" I'm going to be caught up!"

"If you are caught up..." He showed a sincere expression of fear, "you will be assimilated and become a slug that is only 1.6 meters long!"

Bei Chenguang looked at him carefully with his head tilted, and pulled him ashore.

"Ah, there are colorful jellyfish flying in the sky!" Osamu Dazai pointed at the sky again, with a happy expression on his face, "Great! This kind of colorful jellyfish is the natural enemy of slugs, as long as we let them eat up the slugs, we will be saved—" "

Bei Chenguang glanced at the empty sky in the direction he pointed, then looked away, walked back along the route he ran over, and finally saw a mushroom that fell to the ground after being bitten.

It is a very bright color, and there are many red spots on the mushroom cap.

"Miss Guang, come here~ The colorful jellyfish is inviting me to take it to the sky, let's go together!" Dazai Osamu was still waving at her not far away.

The author has something to say: this chapter is limited, the boss who ate poisonous mushrooms

I'm torn between leaving the island in the next chapter and staying to continue cultivating relationships for a while, I haven't figured out where to go after leaving (ni)

Miscalculation, the real identity of the light may have to be revealed a little later, although no one may care about this...
