Where's my childhood sweetheart?

Although he was already sitting at Oda's house, what happened at home in the morning still made Ayou a little dazed.

It was so sudden, asking her if she wanted to restore her previous feelings.

Facing those people who knew her well, she was agitated at the beginning, and she didn't want to admit it at all, and she didn't want those people to disturb her.

However, as time passed, she still couldn't be as hard as iron.Then, the reason for distress becomes another one.

Questions she couldn't give back without those emotions.

But now... Facing this sudden question, she hesitated.

Because when looking at the memories of the past, the current self acts as the perspective of an 'spectator' from a certain angle, so she can see it more clearly.

her change.

From the outsider at the beginning to the step with it later.

From the beginning of the suicide, we must be careful to hide it behind the 'open and aboveboard'.

From the fear of being taken to the research institute for a meal at the beginning to the active entry into the research later.

She will pour out her emotions because of the kindness of the people around her, and it will become deeper because of the accumulation of time.

But it also made her gradually become extreme in the matter of death.

At the last moment, even as an 'audience', she could easily feel her joy.

Today's pomelo is alive.

Is she really acceptable?After experiencing that kind of ecstasy, followed by sorrow.

"Ayou, Ayou?"

"Hey?"

Quickly reacting from his thoughts, Ayou blinked blankly, and saw Oda Sakunosuke who was holding a glass of drink.

"Excuse me."

Ayu smiled apologetically.

"I was distracted just now."

"Is there any trouble?"

Oda Sakunosuke put the drink in his hand on Ayou's table with a calm voice.

"If you don't mind, maybe you can talk to me."

"I……"

Ayou hesitated for a moment, but still shook her head.

"It's just... a little tangled, and I will figure it out soon."

Although the person on the opposite side can be said to be a 'party', it is still impossible to confide in this kind of thing.

Suppressing the distress in her heart, Ayou smiled again, after all, this is what she is good at.

She started changing the subject.

"Speaking of which, are you and the children here, Oda-san?"

She is a little worried about the food problem of this family.

"Yes."

Oda Sakunosuke nodded.

Now he is not as busy as 'before'. Now he has become a writer and has published several novels, so he has long been familiar with all the work of cooking and raising children.

Besides, the five children in my family are very sensible, and even the youngest, Sakile, often recommends himself to help with the washing of vegetables.

But today is Monday, both the big and the young are sent to school in the morning, so this afternoon there are only Ayu and Oda Sakunosuke.

ps Ayou is a certain brother Qi Mu who couldn't bear to let his sister get up early, so Ma Liu asked for leave for both the other party and himself. _(:з」∠)_

"Then with all due respect, the one who cooks on weekdays is...you?"

Oda Sakunosuke was silent for a while, and then he was absolutely sure.

But it seems that some places are not accurate, so he used a premise.

"Usually me."

Ayou: "..."

Why is this 'average' a bit... attention-grabbing?

"Because Kosuke and the others also want to do housework on weekdays, some things are usually done in turns."

"……Oh."

But thinking of those very sensible children, Ayou is not surprised.

She looked at Oda Sakunosuke opposite, and bent her eyes.

"Speaking of which, I saw your book, Oda."

In the days when he could not be contacted, as a novelist, Oda Sakunosuke published several novels successively.

Take his recently published "The Kindness of a Couple" as an example. It contains the ordinary and trivial daily life of a couple, but it has the charm that makes people can't help reading it. The beauty of disillusionment and sorrow.

Of course, this is not what Ayou said, it is the evaluation on the Internet.

Although I have read all the works published by Oda Sakunosuke since his debut, for Ayou, it can only be read as a story.

Most of the time, she can't understand the deep meaning contained in those works. Even if she reads them three or five times, she just swallows them whole and doesn't understand the meaning.

To put it simply, she felt that she might not be suitable for this kind of literature.

After all, in her memory, apart from the well-known writers, the novel is of course a flower-growing specialty, Long Aotian and Phoenix Aotian (bushi), what the beginning of the foreshadowing is reversed and the rebirth pretends to be b (cough).

Thinking of this, Ayou felt quite guilty again, she coughed lightly, and added.

"It's very popular. Many people like it. Oda, you really have talent."

What is she guilty of!She obviously bought the entire set of the collector's edition!

"Thank you."

The blue eyes stared at the girl sitting opposite, and Oda Sakunosuke's voice was solemn.

"If it weren't for your encouragement at the beginning, I might have made up my mind a long time later."

At that time, when he, who was still a killer, questioned whether he could fill the ending of the book, the other party affirmed without hesitation.

It was also at that time that his originally dry heart began to have hope.

Maybe he can give it a try.

With this in mind, he broke away from the killer's life and began to work in another direction.

Today, the original seedling has grown vigorously, it has bloomed and grown into a towering tree.

He is already a well-known novelist, and his works have been read by more people.

"That book... wait a minute."

Suddenly, as if remembering something, Oda Sakunosuke stood up, walked up the stairs, and came down again after a while.Unlike when he went up, at this moment, he was holding a book in his hand.

He handed the book to Ayou.

"Mr. Natsume's book, I completed the ending."

Ayou raised her hand, and solemnly took the books handed over by Oda Sakunosuke.

The old cover was spotless. When Ayou opened the book, there were still traces of being frequently turned over by people. However, the corners of the book were unwrinkled, which made it easy to see how much the owner cherished the book.

It's the one in memory.

Thinking of this, Ayou directly turned to the last page.

The traces of being torn apart at the end were still very obvious, but after that, there were several cardboard boxes that did not match the pages of the old book, which were covered with handwriting written in black ink.

Every stroke and every stroke was serious, without any trace of smearing.

Mobilizing her memory, she quickly remembered the general content of the original book.

Originally, she was just curious about what made Oda Sakunosuke abandon Take Congwen, but after reading it, she couldn't feel any emotion, so she had no choice but to use it as a storybook in the end.

Even Natsume Soseki patted her head and said she was too young to understand.

She's been a little hairy for so many years! ! !

but……

Looking at the ending written by Oda Sakunosuke, she suddenly had an illusion.

A kind of strange feeling that the author dug a hole and didn't fill it, but the fans had no choice but to go into battle in person.

Glancing at Sakunosuke Oda again, he was staring at her unblinkingly, as if he wanted to hear her 800-word post-reading.

Ayou was silent for a moment, then silently closed the book.

"It's an unexpected and reasonable ending, as expected of you, Oda."

I don't have any post-reading impressions, but in order not to disappoint Sakunosuke Oda, Ayou did not hesitate to turn on the explosion mode, trying to make the other party lose his mind.

"It's great, I even have a feeling that I'm finally complete. Everyone's choice is based on himself. Your writing skills, Oda, are indeed very deep. You are indeed a dazzling star in the literary world."

After a call, Ayou didn't blush at all, after all, that's the truth. Oda Sakunosuke's reputation is really great now, although she only found out after searching (cough).

After all, a nerd... I usually pay attention to games and animations. Does the literary world have anything to do with her nerd? _(:з」∠)_

However, Sakunosuke Oda didn't know, he nodded seriously, and he didn't look like he was blown out of his mind, and more importantly, he didn't mean to ask Ayou for 800 words after reading (?).

"Although I was not satisfied with the revisions at the beginning, in the end I found that writing the ending was such a natural thing, as if they had such an ending in the first place, and I just used the perspective of a bystander Just describe it."

Oda Sakunosuke's eyes turned to Ayou, he looked at the girl holding the book, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

"I just wanted you to be my first reader from the beginning, so after I finished writing it, it has been in my room."

When he thought it was just his eternal regret, his fate changed, and something that could be called a miracle happened just like that.

Even though some of the changes were unexpected and he might never be able to go to Yokohama again, he was still grateful.

Dazai, Ango, the Armed Detective Agency, and even Chuya have settled down, so what could be more important than her return?

"Now, it's waiting."

Not only did it end, but it was supposed to be his first reader.

"You are still my first reader."

This ending completed by him was not even seen by Dazai back then, and it was the first time since it was completed.

Ayou stared blankly at the man in front of him, time had added a bit of stability to him, but his appearance remained the same as before.

His blue eyes were still determined, and his expression was gentle, as if saying such a straight-to-heart sentence was just a normal greeting.

In an instant, a word appeared in Ayou's heart.

Once an honest person gets serious, it's really... really scary.

She hadn't figured it out yet, but she wanted to escape a little bit, and there was a slight tilt in the balance of whether to restore her emotions.

"This is really..."

Ayou smiled helplessly, she raised her head, and in her pure black eyes were little rays of light reflected by the afternoon sun.

"Then I'm going to take a look next time."

Oda Sakunosuke's smile deepened.

"Of course, I've always reserved that best seat for you."

The place that was always vacant,

"In fact, tomorrow, I have a book signing."

Saying this, Oda Sakunosuke's tone was very relaxed, as if it was not something that had been planned for a long time.

After all, he was still thinking in the morning that if Ayou didn't come, he would use the reason of the signing party to invite her, but now that she came, then this one would naturally become the second invitation.

"So are you coming?"

Um?So fast? ? ?

He glanced at Oda Sakunosuke with some hesitation, but thinking of the other party's usual honest appearance, she had no choice but to be vigilant, and nodded without hesitation.

"of course."

The school will continue to ask for leave (cough), she hasn't been to the signing party yet!

The honest man smiled triumphantly in his heart.

Just as she was talking, Ayou's cell phone rang suddenly. She took out the cell phone and saw that it was Ranpo Edogawa.

"Small shopkeeper! There is a big event!"

The other party's voice was full of anger.

"Dazai lied! He didn't recover his memory at all!!!"

Ayou: Meow meow? ? ?
