Yokohama Future Lovers

The wind on the roof was very strong, blowing Anna Kushina's long hair aside, making a crisp sound.

That person—her younger brother stood in front of Kushina Anna, and the black-haired boy leaned against the railing, his voice fragmented and indistinct under the strong wind.

What is he saying?

Thinking of this, Anna Kushina took a step forward involuntarily, and she stretched out her hand, trying to grab him.

However, the black-haired boy turned around and smiled at her.

"Anna, you must—" the boy said, his voice became more and more indistinct, and when he finished speaking, Anna Kushina could no longer hear what he was saying, and there was only a huge wind in her ears, which made her brain tremble Swelling, buzzing in the ears.

What exactly are you trying to say?

Kushina Anna wanted to shout so loudly, but her body trembled unconsciously.

With a "bang", the raging fire suddenly ignited, and the tip of her nose smelled a burning smell. Because she was choked by the smoke, she couldn't help coughing violently while holding her throat, and tears fell.

As soon as the picture changed, the raging fire building was surrounded by darkness and flames. Someone was standing by the broken glass window, singing with the little blond girl, until his body, body and soul were completely submerged by the flames.

When the crazy and happy laughter that seemed to be relieved gradually dissipated, Anna Kushina fully realized that the person was dead and set herself on fire.

The burning smell that still lingered in the air seemed to remind her of something, and the voice of that person lingered in her ears like the death whisper of a wraith, refusing to leave.

—“Absolutely, absolutely not to forget,” he said.

——"No matter how painful it is, I must never forget this picture."

It was as if my own flesh and blood had been torn off, and the other half of my soul was gradually dissipating, and a sense of despair erupted in this body that would never grow up.

"Ughhhhhhh-"

Kushina Anna let out a cry of despair.

···

Yokohama junior high school teacher's dormitory.

Anna Kushina sat up suddenly from the bed, she opened a pair of jewel-like red eyes, and gasped violently.

The silver-haired girl was covered in sweat, and Kushina frowned uncomfortably with sticky spots everywhere.

She looked out the window, the sun is very good today.Because Anna Kushina forgot to draw the curtains last night, the warm sunlight shone directly through the glass window, bringing a glimmer of light to the dark room.Birds flew by Anna Kushina's window, making crisp chirps.

--Its daybreak.

A new day began again, and Anna Kushina got out of bed and walked to the bathroom with small steps to brush her teeth. Unexpectedly, she almost tripped over the bear puppet under her feet without paying attention.Fortunately, Anna Kushina grabbed the chair on one side in time, and was spared the tragedy of falling face-to-face.

Kushina Anna sighed deeply.

This is the third day she has traveled to this strange world.

Kushina Anna lowered her eyes and reached out to stroke her heart.Her heart was beating "ploppppp".This is her body, but it's not her body either - this strange feeling made Anna Kushina feel complicated.

Kushina Anna was originally staying in Barbara with the Akagumi, but an incredible, almost intuitive feeling made her scalp tingle—in a corner of Yokohama, there was someone who might be able to change Zhou Fangzun And ten bundles of Dotara's mortal fate.

In order to change the fate of the two, Anna Kushina dragged Zhou Fangzun and the rest of the Akagumi out together, and they all headed for Yokohama.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Fangzun accidentally got separated from them, probably because he didn't keep up with the big army when he went out to find cigarettes.Before Kushina Anna and others looked for him, the whole world was suddenly enveloped by a burst of white light, and when she opened her eyes again, she came here.

Now she is a school teacher in this world, but Kushina Anna always feels that something is wrong...

She couldn't tell exactly what it was, and in this world, Anna Kushina also lost her original abilities, so she could only temporarily play her own role and continue the life of "Anna Kushina" as before.

...not exactly acting, either.Kushina Anna thought so.After all, she could sense that this body was actually herself in a parallel world.

Although it is "Kushina Anna" who has a completely different life course, destiny, and even the world she lives in, but it is indeed herself.

There are even Barbara and Zhou Fangzun in this world, but Barbara has become a special club in Yokohama Middle School, and Zhou Fangzun and others have become students in Kushina's class.

Even in a completely different world, Anna Kushina met the most important people again and forged important bonds.

If there is any difference other than the world "setting" - yes, it is that the "Kushina Anna" of this world has a very important younger brother.

How can I return to my own world?Kushina Anna thought distressedly, could it be that she wants to solve her own knot in this world?

But she didn't know who the dead "brother" was in this fragmented dream.And since they were all younger brothers who committed suicide, what else could be the knot in "Anna Kushina"?Mostly hope that the younger brother can be resurrected, right?But she doesn't have the super power to travel back to the past, nor is she some omnipotent promise.

Thinking of this, she subconsciously looked at the culprit who almost tripped her just now, a bear doll covered in bandages.

Kushina Anna is a child who can only see red, even "Kushina Anna" in the parallel world. This small room in the teacher's dormitory has been decorated like a red ocean by her in the parallel world.

But there are always exceptions, such as the bandaged bear doll.

Kushina Anna has no memory of this body, but even so, she still subconsciously knows that this bear doll is actually her brother's, and was cherished by the former "Kushina Anna" on the bedside.The reason why she tripped her just now is probably because Kushina accidentally dropped the bear doll when she was sleeping last night.

But apart from this bear doll, Anna Kushina didn't even know the name of that younger brother.She also tried to ask others, but her colleagues such as Ozaki Momiji didn't even know that she had a younger brother.

What should we do?

Anna Kushina thought so, but she didn't know that clues would come to her soon.

···

"That is to say, you want to ask me, is it true that you killed..."Dazai Osamu" by suicide last time?" Sitting opposite Edogawa Ranpo was an extremely beautiful girl.

From the looks of it, she was about ten years old.The long silver hair hangs down like a waterfall, as if exuding a dreamlike light.Kushina Anna is wearing a red gothic dress, drinking black tea in her hand. She doesn't look like a teacher who is about to go to class after lunch break for more than half an hour. Alice ran out.

Edogawa wandered away, thinking: Anna Kushina might get along well with Alice who is next to Mori Ogai.

When he came back to his senses, he thought blankly again, since when did Mori Ogai school doctor have a girl named □□ Liz by his side?

Let's not mention these digressions for now.After bidding farewell to Mori Ogai, Edogawa Ranpo and Dazai Osamu, who was in a ghost state, went directly to look for Kushina Anna.

Kushina Anna likes to hide in a small room alone, eat cakes and drink black tea during her lunch break. It is not difficult for Edogawa Ranpo to find her.After the other party gave him a small cake, Edogawa Ranpo explained to her why he came while chewing the cake.

His mouth was filled with the sweet scent of small cakes, and Edogawa ranpo glanced at Osamu Dazai beside him, thinking: This is his sister who has no blood relationship, but Osamu Dazai seemed very calm.

In fact, Osamu Dazai was not as calm as he appeared.Because he could recognize that the little girl opposite was Anna Kushina, an outsider under the third king, the Red King.

Unexpectedly, she turned out to be the unrelated older sister of "Osamu Dazai" in the parallel world.

Osamu Dazai thought in a delicate mood.

But this also means that there is indeed a certain karma between Kushina Anna and "Dazai Osamu".In other words, Anna Kushina was also a person who traveled to a parallel world like them.

and...

Osamu Dazai took advantage of being in a ghost state, and after the other party couldn’t see her, he looked at Anna for a few more times, thinking: Seeing the blank eyes and unconscious defensive actions of the other party, he must be different from other people.Kushina Anna has her own memories completely.

It seems that it is true that Anna Kushina has some kind of special power. On the premise that this special power even makes other people have no memory, Anna Kushina can still retain her original memory.

"Sorry, I don't know about it." Anna Kushina bit her lip and said.

Her hand holding the teacup was shaking.She finally knew her brother's name.But for some reason, just uttering the syllables of "Dazai Osamu" made her heart feel like it was about to burst.

"I know." Edogawa propped his face in disorder, looked at Kushina Anna carefully, and said, "For some special reason, you lost your memory, right?"

Kushina Anna froze for a moment, as if surprised by Edogawa Ranpo's sensitivity.What she didn't know was that, if it wasn't for some kind of "world rules" that hindered, Edogawa Ranpo could even directly infer that she had traveled to her own body in a parallel world.

Of course, even if it is just inferred that she has amnesia like now, it is already a very powerful thing.

Seeing Anna Kushina's surprise, Ranpo Edogawa raised his face proudly and said, "It's easy to see such a trivial matter, after all, I'm a detective."

Kushina Anna is a person who is easy to fall in love with. Even Edogawa Ranpo can't help but let down his guard in front of Kushina Anna on the premise that he has only met her once.

Kushina Anna covered her mouth and let out a small smile.

"Actually, before I came here, I guessed that you don't know anything now, but I still came." Edogawa Ranpo looked at her and said.

Kushina Anna blinked and asked, "Why?"

Edogawa Ranpo said: "Because even if the memory dissipates, some things will never be forgotten anyway."

As he said that, his expression became extremely serious.

Before coming to Kushina Anna, Edogawa Ranpo had already searched for information about the relationship between Dazai Osamu and Kushina Anna.Because there is "Osamu Dazai" next to him, even if it is a ghost version without memory, they still deduce Kushina Anna's life experience at once.

In this world, Kushina Anna is the adopted daughter of Osamu Dazai's family.Because Anna Kusina's parents were killed in a car accident, the Patriarch of the Dazai family who had saved her life by these two people brought Anna Kusina back.

However, she seems to be born with a strange disease. Not only does she have silver hair and red eyes that are very special for ordinary people, but her appearance has remained the same as the day she was adopted.

People in the family still secretly call her "witch".

This also led to her being rejected by everyone in the family just like Osamu Dazai, who was in a bad mental state in the eyes of outsiders.

And Osamu Dazai, who has always liked to be alone since before, can smile to please everyone but can also change his face immediately, unexpectedly has a good relationship with Kushina Anna.

The evidence is - when he saw Kushina Anna, Osamu Dazai suddenly felt a strange emotion in his heart.

This is also unprecedented for Dazai Osamu. He never thought that he would be able to experience the feelings of his dead "self" while possessing himself in a parallel world.

Edogawa Ranpo didn't intend to stay for a long time, he had already deduced the relationship between her and Osamu Dazai before he met Anna Kushina, and he just came here to deduce something further.

Edogawa Ranpo is not the type to exchange pleasantries, so he said directly: "I want to know, did Osamu Dazai leave you anything important?"

"What's important?" Anna Kushina repeated blankly, and subconsciously remembered the bear doll.

The original "Kushina Anna" always carried it with her, and after she came to this world, she also subconsciously carried that bear doll.

Kushina Anna took out the bear doll from the bag she was carrying, handed it to Edogawa Ranpo, and asked, "Are there any clues in it?"

It was a dark brown bear doll with the corners of its mouth turned up in a smile.It's just different from the little bears we usually see, this bear doll is wrapped in bandages all over.

Edogawa Ranpo grabbed the bear doll and shook it a few times, blinked, and said, "This doll has a recorder inside."

Kushina Anna looked at him in surprise.

Edogawa Ranpo didn't say much, he poked the bear's soft belly hard.

[Anna, happy birthday to you. 】

It was a smiling, juvenile voice.At the same time, Edogawa Ranpo also realized that it was the voice of "Osamu Dazai".

Osamu Dazai subconsciously looked at the calendar hanging on the side - today happens to be December [-]th.

Could it be that the "Osamu Dazai" of this world even expected that Anna Kushina would touch the recorder in the belly of the bear doll on December [-]th before committing suicide?

Edogawa ranpo stuffed the bear doll into Anna Kushina's arms, she caught it in a daze, and hugged the bear doll more tightly, her hands trembling unconsciously.

This is not her emotion, but the emotion of this body—"Kushina Anna" from the parallel world.She knows, she knows, she obviously knows, but why——

With a "click", tears flowed from Kushina Anna's eyes.She blinked blankly, as if she hadn't realized what happened, she subconsciously reached out and wiped her tears, but the tears flowed even more violently.

The younger brother, her younger brother, the younger brother who was small and fragile like a baby bird when she was young, the younger brother who was held by her to watch the apricot blossoms together, set fire to the building in the old school building, and burned her own younger brother.

Why, why is even the face blurred?He is obviously such an important person, but why can't he remember anything?He even forgot what the other party said before he died.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I—" Anna Kushina stumbled and said, her voice was blurred by sobs, and her vision was blurred by tears.

She screamed like a wounded animal.

Kushina Anna wants to stop, but despair and grief are tightly entangled in her soul, making her unable to stop no matter what.

"..."

Edogawa squatted down, looked at her calmly, and said, "There is nothing to be 'sorry' about. Isn't it natural for my sister to cry for her dead brother?"

Kushina's eyes widened, and she suddenly trembled more violently. She finally calmed down and gave a soft "hmm".

After Kushina calmed down, she tightly grabbed Edogawa Ranpo's sleeve and said, "Why did he die?"

"I don't know either." Edogawa Ranpo said, he frowned, subconsciously looked at the silent ghost Dazai Osamu, and said softly, "I don't know either."

"..." Anna Kushina followed his line of sight blankly, seeing nothing, but she suddenly realized something and asked, "Is 'he' there?"

Edogawa Ranpo's eyes widened in surprise, he opened his mouth, and finally said seriously: "Yes, he's there, but you can't see it. And I was entrusted by him who lost his memory to investigate what killed him. "Dazai Osamu"."

"'Dazai Osamu' committed suicide for some special reason, I am very sure of that."

This particular reason is likely to be directly related to the truth of the world.

Anna Kushina trembled, she stretched out her hand, wanting to touch Osamu Dazai, but unlike Ranpo Edogawa who dragged Osamu Dazai out of the old school building, Anna Kushina touched him even if she couldn't see him. not to him.Therefore, when she stretched out her hand, she could only touch a piece of air.

But she showed a small smile as if she was very satisfied.

Osamu Dazai, who was looking at her silently, subconsciously wanted to take a step back as if he had been stung, but his feet could not be moved away as if they were rooted in the ground, and in the end he could only let Anna Kushina Hands pass through their transparent body.

After understanding the purpose of Ranpo Edogawa, Anna Kushina said to him seriously: "Please, I want to know why that person, my brother, is going to die."

"Leave it to me." Edogawa Ranpo replied with unprecedented seriousness: "Since I have accepted this commission, I will definitely investigate it."

Kushina Anna nodded.At the same time, she suddenly realized that she didn't have the memory of "Anna Kushina" in this world because she traveled through time, but because the "Anna Kushina" in this world lost her memory due to excessive grief.

But after realizing that Dazai Osamu set fire to suicide in the old school building not out of resentment or pain, and even until the end he still loved her sister, and gave her a bear doll to celebrate her birthday, some of the original "Kushina Anna" Memories flooded into my mind like dots of light.

That was the memory of the "Kushina Anna" of this world.

The two people who were rejected and disgusted by the family were kicked out again.

She was very hungry, but Anna Kushina tried her best to look like she wasn't hungry, thinking "I'm an older sister".

Because Kushina Anna didn't grow up, the two of them didn't look like siblings, but rather siblings.Probably because of this, Kushina Anna always cares about her "sister" appearance in front of Osamu Dazai.

She looked at Osamu Dazai beside her, wanting to say some comforting words to him, but she suddenly found that Osamu Dazai was staring at the distant river in a daze. It looks like it's disconnected from this world.

Osamu Dazai always looked out of tune with this world, his eyes were not looking at this place, but at a deeper darkness that made people feel painful and hopeless.

Kushina Anna looked at him silently, and shouted, "Zhi."

"What's wrong? Anna." Osamu Dazai squatted down subconsciously in order to be able to look at his sister at the same level.

Kushina Anna stepped forward and hugged him tightly.It was winter at this time, but when two people hugged each other, the body temperature of each other was passed on to the other to make it warmer.

"Let's live together, both of us," she said.The voice was as soft as a whisper in a dream.

Because her face was buried on Dazai Osamu's shoulder, she couldn't see her brother's expression, and she didn't know how long it had passed, but she heard Dazai Osamu's soft voice, as if it would be blown away at once.

"Ah."
