Playing house in the anime world

"Are you leaving?"

Dazai Osamu and Oda Sakunosuke were sitting in the bar. The transparent, round ice ball rolled quietly in the wine glass, reflecting the cute head of the calico cat next to it.

"Ah?" Oda Sakunosuke was stunned. What did he mean by leaving?

"You should be leaving soon, right?" Dazai Osamu turned his head. He had already asked Gojo Aiko quietly. It seemed that their appearance here was related to the headband on Gojo Aiko's head.

Recently, he watched the gem on the end of the headband become brighter and brighter, as if it was fully charged. Now it has been fixed at a certain brightness and no longer changes, which means that the energy should be full.

"Aiko didn't say anything, she still wants to go to the hot spring." Oda Sakunosuke remembered that Gojo Aiko said she wanted to go to a hot spring hotel last night.

Half a month has passed since the last training at the abandoned amusement park.

They have been playing badly for the past half month.

Because Gui Deng's old father went back to hell for something, they all started to perform together.

But there is a reason for this. After all, training cannot be rushed. After the last night training in the abandoned amusement park, they all discovered some of their own shortcomings, so they began to train separately to solve the problem.

To put it simply, it means to check for gaps and then make your own training plan and train yourself.

So even though it is “giving up”, it is not completely giving up.

"The rats in Yokohama's underground seem to be a little restless recently." Dazai Osamu lowered his head with a gloomy look in his eyes. "We have been playing for so long, have the kids finished their homework?"

Oda Sakunosuke heard that Dazai Osamu seemed to be hinting that they should leave as soon as possible.

"Dazai..." He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"After such a long vacation, it's time for you to go back to work, right?" Dazai Osamu reached out and moved the ice ball in the cup, his fingertips gradually becoming numbed by the cold.

"I'll show you my novel when it's published." Oda Sakunosuke didn't waste any time. Fortunately, all the materials for the novel he wanted had already been filmed. He took a lot of photos of Yokohama along the trajectory of his life.

"Would you like to take a picture together?" Oda Sakunosuke took out his cell phone.

"Yeah~" Dazai Osamu leaned over and made a "V" sign to the camera.

After taking one photo, Dazai Osamu still felt unsatisfied and tried to pull the calico cat that was watching over to take a photo together. The cat was so scared that it jumped onto Oda Sakunosuke's head.

Dazai Osamu successfully took a picture of the calico cat on Odasaku's head and let the vigilant calico cat go with satisfaction.

"This cat... is it still there?" Oda Sakunosuke remembered that this cat often appeared when he was drinking in this bar with Dazai Osamu and Sakaguchi Ango.

"Maybe it's a calico cat fairy~" Dazai Osamu sent the photo to his mobile phone. Unfortunately, Oda Sakunosuke was wearing a mask as a disguise, but it was also good this way, otherwise it would be dangerous if their photo was seen by someone with ulterior motives.

"Calico cat fairy..." Oda Sakunosuke began to think about the possibility of adding an animal spirit character to the novel, for example, the small animals that often appear around the protagonist are actually transformed from elves.

Although this way of writing is a bit cliché, there are still many people who like to read this kind of thing.

Generally, such characters are either hidden masterminds or partners who accompany the protagonist diligently and then sacrifice for the protagonist at the last moment.

The calico cat suddenly felt a chill on his back and ran away warily.

"Let's have one last drink, good night." Dazai Osamu held up a glass of wine and invited Oda Sakunosuke, "I want a signed copy of the novel~"

Oda Sakunosuke smiled helplessly, and the one he gave to his friend must be a special signed version: "Good night."

After returning to the hotel, Oda Sakunosuke found that there were still a few people who had not slept.

Kakyoin Noriaki and Morofushi Kagemitsu were playing chess, while Hagiwara Kenji was arm wrestling with Caesar next to them.

"Why are you guys sleeping later and later recently?" Oda Sakunosuke walked over with the midnight snacks he bought on the road.

"It's oden! I smell it!" Kenji Hagiwara exclaimed, and then was overwhelmed by Caesar.

"Ah! I lost again!" Kenji Hagiwara silently retracted his hand which had lost for the 35th time, and then reached out to eat the oden.

"Since we have nothing to do, let's just chat." Kakyoin Noriaki has been looking for others to play chess every day recently, not because he has fallen in love with chess, but because he uses the name of chess to chat with everyone.

Before, although they all knew that they came from different worlds, this kind of thing was still a little difficult to digest, so when they were together, they didn't talk in detail about what their own world was like.

Now, after arriving at Oda Sakunosuke's hometown, the feeling that "everyone is from a different world" becomes much more real.

And now everyone is more familiar with each other. They are no longer as reserved and distant as they were in the beginning, and they are starting to be curious about each other's world.

So when we were chatting at night, we couldn't help but talk about the topic of the other world.

"Chatting... Dazai said that something might happen in Yokohama recently, so we'd better leave as soon as possible." Oda Sakunosuke looked at the time. It was now 11 o'clock in the evening, and Gojo Aiko must have fallen asleep. They should be able to discuss exactly when to leave tomorrow morning.

"So fast?" Kenji Hagiwara felt like he hadn't had enough fun yet.

"It's been over a month, it's not going fast enough." Jinpei Matsuda also felt a little regretful because they had not had time to conduct joint training with the Armed Detective Agency.

The Armed Detective Agency is usually quite busy, and it is difficult to find a place like an abandoned amusement park, so this matter has been delayed until now.

But in terms of time, they have been here for more than a month, which is actually a long time.

After returning, only one or two days have passed there. In fact, if nothing goes wrong, you can still continue to play for a while.

"We should be able to come again in the future, right? We don't have any experience this first time, so we can come again some other time!" The only thing Hagiwara Kenji was worried about was the time difference. What if they came back after one or two years, then a long time would have passed here.

"No, after we go back, the speed of time on both sides may be different from when we were in this world." Kakyoin Noriaki had thought about this problem early in the morning. "Look, it's been several months since Oda-kun was summoned. If we calculate that one day here is equal to one hour on Aiko's side, several years should have passed here. And Oda-kun was not summoned immediately after his death. There was still some time in between."

Oda Sakunosuke did some calculations and based on a rough calculation of 30 days in a month, it turned out that at least five years had passed.

But now it has only been about 4 years since his death, so the timing really doesn't match.

He didn't know how long after his death he was summoned. The speed at which time flows between worlds is really hard to understand.
