Where's my childhood sweetheart?

"Do you still want to leave me?"

Osamu Dazai repeated, whispering in Ayou's ear.

"You promised me that we would die in love together and step into the underworld. Wouldn't it be too much for you to die alone?"

Ayou was silent for a moment, then spoke seriously.

"The goddess of death is my true love. If she says that there is only one of us who can lead me like a dog, I don't believe you will not attack me!"

After all, everyone is equal in the face of death, maybe she will be cruel to Osamu Dazai because she wants a dog leash?

She must be the prettiest boy in front of the goddess of death!So this Osamu Dazai must be pushed far away!

"not necessarily."

Dazai Osamu's voice was inexplicably gentle and unobtrusively deep.

How can two people who died together live alone?

"Of course we will find a way to get the goddess of death to agree to take the two of us away."

Either live together or die together, the option of only one person is the most unacceptable option.

The distance between the world and Huangquan may be very close, but it is also too far away. Only when they are together can people feel a little comfort.

"...Where is the third option?"

Patting the hairy Zaitou on his shoulder, Ayou's voice was helpless.

"Okay, okay, get up, now that I have recovered my memory, I have to say something."

"Don't~"

Osamu Dazai looked like he wanted to rely on Ayou.

"One day is like three autumns, not to mention that you died without me, Ayou!"

From an angle that Ayou couldn't see, Dazai Osamu's kite-colored eyes were full of deep luster, but his words were deliberately filled with resentment.

"We agreed to die in love together, but you secretly went to Huangquan without me. You touch your conscience, don't you feel guilty?"

Ayou: "..."

No, not only do I not feel guilty, but I even want to show off...

'Hey~ It's also impossible to die, but I'm one step ahead of you, aren't you surprised?Is it surprising?Are you angry? 'The kind of showing off. _(:з」∠)_

"Anyway."

Dazai concluded.

"In the future, you must take me with you in any event that can lead to death!"

He straightened up and looked into Ayou's eyes.

"Believe it or not, don't take me with you to make trouble!"

Ayou: "..."

Oh, you also know you can be mischievous...

"By the way... aren't you doing well now?"

The work is smooth and aboveboard, there is no oppression by the black-hearted Lin Taro, and there are no friends with dogs.

"Still thinking about dying?"

It's understandable that I used to be too young to think about it, but now that I'm in my twenties, do I still want to be a dog when I look like a sand sculpture?

Unable to bear it, Ayou hesitated to speak.

"Dazai, your character design is not to commit suicide, right?"

Suicide is just a human design, but other than this, there is no problem?

"...Are you talking about you?"

Osamu Dazai was a little speechless.

"It's the rule that suicide doesn't kill you."

On this point, we are not the same, who are you talking about?

"But, what I said is true."

Concentrating all expressions, the camouflage gradually disappeared, the color in Dazai Osamu's eyes gradually settled, and finally turned into an extremely dark look.

The surrounding bright light seemed to be blocked, the flowing air seemed to become sticky, and the noisy sounds gradually disappeared, as if something isolated this piece of heaven and earth.

"The road to Huangquan alone is too lonely."

When he said such words, the arc of the corner of his mouth was shallow but dangerous, but the shadow of Ayou was clearly reflected in his eyes that seemed to have turned black.

Ayou's expression at this time was surprisingly similar to Osamu Dazai's, as if all the exposed emotions had been removed, leaving only the unwavering inner heart reflecting the world.

However, after only a moment, the original emotion returned to her heart, and the corners of her mouth suddenly curled up.

"So you still want to team up to commit suicide together?"

Ayou tilted her head, her bent eyes were filled with refracted, dotted lights, and what enveloped them was the vast yet extremely gentle night sky.

"But you're too far away in Yokohama."

Ayou made a small joke.

"By the time you get there, maybe the chance will be gone."

"I'm skipping work!"

Being watched by such gentle eyes, Osamu Dazai replied without hesitation, the darkness in his eyes gradually revealed light, he fixedly stared at the figure in front of him, and there seemed to be light in his eyes.

He clearly knew that the light was not his own, but the person in front of him.

Her body is emitting light.

"Maybe I should apply for field work?"

Osamu Dazai tilted his head, making a thoughtful look.

"Why don't I suggest to the president to open a branch of the Armed Detective Agency, which will be located in Shizuoka, and then I will apply to join the branch, so that I can stay with Ayou for a long time."

"No, not at all."

Ayu directly denied Osamu Dazai's 'naive' idea.

"Mr. Fukuzawa probably won't agree..."

To tell the truth, he knew that Fukuzawa Yukichi was so tired of taking care of Edogawa Ranpo back then, so why not return the branch?Even if there is, he will never send you there as a problem child!

"Huh? What if?"

Ayou retorted mercilessly.

"Not in case."

"and……"

At this time, a clear voice suddenly sounded.

"Abetting suicide is against the law."

Ayou:? ? ?

Turning around suddenly, at this moment, Munakata Reishi who was still in the room just now appeared in their corner at some point.

Osamu Dazai narrowed his eyes slightly, and directly revealed the identity of Reisi Munakata.

"Isn't this... Reji Munakata, the head of the Fourth Branch of the Household Registration Division of the Tokyo Legal Affairs Bureau?"

He stood up with a very official smile on his face.

"I didn't expect to meet the famous king here. It's really... a great honor."

"It's just a vacation, it's nothing, but this... um, Dazai-kun."

Munakata Reishi's smile was very unpredictable.

"Although I don't really want to be nosy, but as a government official, I can't ignore things like abduction and abetment."

Although Fushimi is very useful, wouldn't it be better to have another one?He believes that the work efficiency of Scepter4 will definitely be doubled.

Therefore, the future employees he likes must get into Scepter4!

"That would be a misunderstanding."

Osamu Dazai waved his hands with a fake smile.

"We are very good 'friends'. After all, there is a saying, 'Don't expect to be born in the same year and the same month on the same day, but to die in the same year and the same month and the same day.' We were just making a 'friend' agreement."

Reiji Munakata's expression remained unchanged.

"Oh, is it?"

Oh, how dare you fool me.

"The situation is really not good for Dazai-kun."

After all how old are you?How old is this kid?Do you know who will die first?

Osamu Dazai smiled 'kindly'.

"Then don't bother Mr. Munakata's concern."

Why do you Scepter4 have such a wide range of things?Believe it or not, he will find something for Scepter4 later?

Ayou stared blankly at the two people with the same fake smiles fighting each other, and didn't know what they were talking about.

Forget it, just treat it as a literal courtesy.

Without thinking deeply about what they were saying, Ayou lowered her head and took out her phone to check the time.

Well, the signing will start in just a few minutes.

"excuse me."

Ayou stood on tiptoe and waved.

No way, my height is flawed...

"Oda's signing event is about to start, let's go in first."

"makes sense."

Not forgetting that he still shoulders the important task of bringing autographed books to his family members, Munakata Reishi closed his eyes and nodded accordingly.

"Then I'll go ahead."

Anyway, there is no need to rush for a while.

Seeing Munakata Reisi's figure disappearing through the door, Ayu turned around and looked at Osamu Dazai.

"Since you're here, Dazai, your position should be..."

It should be set in advance!

"No, it's just the opposite."

However, Osamu Dazai denied her idea.

"You also know that such a big thing happened in Yokohama the day before yesterday, so it will take some time to deal with the follow-up. By the time I remembered it, it was already very late, so..."

Osamu Dazai spread his hands helplessly, what can he do?He couldn't help it either.

Ayou: "..."

Thinking of how the venue was full of seats, Ayou nodded silently.

There is nothing wrong with it, after all, Oda Sakunosuke is now a super famous writer, and there is even a queue outside the door, so it is really... normal for Dazai to be late?

"This is..."

This is difficult!She is also the seat given by Oda in advance, this Dazai Osamu...

"Can't you go backstage?"

Ayou pondered.

"Oda shouldn't mind... right?"

"Actually, I have another way."

Dazai smiled brightly.

"It depends on whether you agree, Ayou."

Ayou:? ? ?

"Let's go in and talk."

Seeing Ayou's bewildered look, Osamu Dazai didn't have the slightest intention to explain. He took Ayou's hand and went straight into the venue.

Without stopping at all, he ran to the first row where Ayou was originally sitting, and Osamu Dazai sat down on Ayou's original seat.

"Come."

He patted his thigh.

"Ayou is on my lap so we can all have seats."

Ayou: "..."

God tm sits on your lap!

Looking at Osamu Dazai with a bright smile on his expressionless face, Ayou only felt that the other party might have a conspiracy.

However, a certain Dazai did not restrain himself at all, and even his greeting voice became more gentle and cordial.

"The signing will start soon, Ayou, sit down quickly and don't disturb the camera brother."

Ayou turned her head subconsciously, and the host was already on stage ready to go, and all the preparation parties were already in place.After more than ten seconds of understanding the struggle in his heart, Ayou still sat on Osamu Dazai's... lap.

This is the personal meat chair!Human Chair!Human Chair! ! !

I thought so in my heart, but there were always people with fleshy chairs and dishonest hands rushing over to hug her.

Ayou, who had slapped someone's dishonest paw off for the tenth time, finally couldn't help but turn around and glared at the culprit.

Ayou: You!paw!give me honest! ! !

Osamu Dazai showed an innocent face, he lowered his head slightly and whispered into Ayou's ear.

"I did it to prevent Ayou from falling."

There is such a cute little Ayou in his arms, who can resist hugging?who can? ? ?

"I won't!"

Ayou also lowered her voice and moved closer to his ear.

"Be honest with me, you bastard!"

"But……"

Ayou directly interrupted Osamu Dazai's words.

"No but!"

However, Osamu Dazai did not give up.

"No, I meant to say..."

"I didn't want to say it!"

Facing the ruthless Ayu, Osamu Dazai finally shut up.

"……Oh."

However, when Ayou looked back at the table in satisfaction, he saw Oda Sakunosuke's puzzled and slightly surprised eyes head-on.

Ayou:? ? ?

She looked blankly at Oda Sakunosuke, then at Dazai Osamu, and finally at herself.

Nothing wrong with it?

At this time, Ayou didn't notice at all that when she doubted her life, when Osamu Dazai and Sakunosuke Oda met their eyes, the deep eyes that were inevitable.
