Yokohama Hearts Fraudster

"Dazai!"

Dazai Osamu, who was in charge of correcting documents in the office, was suddenly awakened by the sound of the door being pushed open suddenly.

There was only one person who was able to shuttle through the chief's office so unscrupulously.

A gentle smile appeared on Osamu Dazai's face, he stopped writing, and looked playfully at Izumi Ren who was approaching aggressively.

"What's the matter, you're back so early."

When he saw the serious and slightly angry expression on He Quanlian's face, he paused slightly, half-closed his eyes, and looked sharply at Atsushi Nakajima who was following him.

"Dun, I asked you to protect him. Are you doing your duty seriously?"

Facing Osamu Dazai's sudden duty, Atsushi Nakajima was a little stunned. He quickly knelt down and apologized on one knee, and apologized frankly: "I'm very sorry, Mr. Dazai."

But in fact, he didn't know the reason why He Quanlian was so angry, but since he came into contact with the red-haired man, He Quanlian's face changed instantly, and then hurried back without saying a word.

If Mr. Dazai needs him to be responsible for this matter, he will silently obey the order without any refutation.

"It's none of his business!" On the contrary, He Quanlian clapped her hands on the table vigorously, lowered her brows and eyes in displeasure, and defended him.

Under Dazai Osamu's puzzled gaze, Izumi Ren took a deep breath, and finally asked through gritted teeth: "You in this world don't even know Oda-san!"

"..."

Osamu Dazai's expression suddenly froze.

He Quanlian used an affirmative tone, so he must have known the truth of the matter.

The moisture in the air seemed to condense, greedily absorbing the heat from Osamu Dazai's body, he subconsciously curled up his fingers, only to find that his fingertips were so cold that he couldn't even hold a pen firmly.

But He Quanlian's questioning eyes shot straight into his heart, leaving him in a panic about the secret being stirred up, and there was nowhere to escape.

After a while, he exhaled slowly, first glanced at Atsushi Nakajima, and waved his hand.

Nakajima Atsushi stood up and walked out of the room very tacitly, and carefully closed the door. There were only two people left in the room, Izumi Ren and Dazai Osamu, and Dazai Osamu's heart suddenly stabilized a lot.

"Well, you met him, right?"

A wry smile appeared on Dazai Osamu's face: "I've already said it from the beginning, Oda Saku didn't join the organization, so naturally...we don't have a chance to meet."

"Huh? What's the reason?" Izumi Ren insisted, "Aren't you friends? If there is no opportunity, create an opportunity. It doesn't matter even if it is a hostile force now. Mr. Oda is not so clear about the dividing line. people."

Osamu Dazai's eyes gradually became darker in his words, as if the night sky no longer twinkled with stars, leaving only a piece of silent blackness.

His fingertips caressed the smooth expression of the pen inadvertently, his voice seemed as relaxed as usual, but there was always a hint of sadness hidden in it.

"Well... for various reasons, we can't get to know each other for the time being." He just said that, which seemed to be mixed with unspeakable heavy meanings, but in He Quanlian's eyes, it was more like He himself was too timid to take that step for a long time.

No matter in which world, Osamu Dazai is like a coward who hides under his own rigid shell and refuses to take a step.

Seeing Osamu Dazai like this, Izumi Ren especially felt that iron cannot be made into steel. He wanted to persuade him again, but Osamu Dazai suddenly brought up a very important topic.

"By the way, Izumi, I have asked my subordinates to find out when the meteor shower will happen next time."

Osamu Dazai smiled and blinked his eyes, and managed to make Izumi Ren forget to continue the topic. A strong light burst out from his eyes: "Really?! When?"

Noticing this, Osamu Dazai exhaled in a complicated yet relaxed manner.

He Quanlian's sharp words turned into flying needles all the time, every sentence pierced his chest, piercing his heart like a knife, and also shaking his soul.

He couldn't refute, but he couldn't continue on this topic, because as the leader, as Dazai Osamu, he had too many things in his heart that he couldn't express.

"Just half a year later in winter, on December 12."

Osamu Dazai handed over a dozen documents to Izumi Ren, and He Quanren quickly flipped through them twice. They were all about the probability, coordinates, weather, etc. of the meteor shower on December 12. Obviously, the investigators did not Spend less time.

However, although Izumi Ren is very grateful to Osamu Dazai for helping him so hard...but...

"Half a year?! Am I going to stay here for so long!" He Quanlian was hit head-on, and her brain trembled.

Leaving aside the fact that he has not been able to see dear Zhongye for the past six months, he is about to die. Dazai Osamu of the world over there is probably still looking for him, and if he doesn't go back, it may be regarded as a defection and cause some big problems!

"Is the world here at the same speed as the world over there?" He couldn't wait to ask Osamu Dazai.

"To be precise, the flow time here is faster, and the facts also prove that I am 20 years old now, while I am only 17 years old over there, and I am almost 18 years old."

Osamu Dazai made a reasonable analysis: "However, the speed has only been accelerated over the years. In half a year, it will take at least five months over there."

"Ah, five months, isn't the problem even bigger!" He Quanlian was so worried that she almost bald her black hair, "No, I must go back sooner. "

Appreciating his impatient look with great interest, Osamu Dazai crossed his hands on the table and suddenly tilted his head: "If you want to go back quickly, I have a good idea."

He Quanlian was immediately attracted by him, leaned her upper body forward, and almost hit Osamu Dazai's face: "What is it?"

Dazai Osamu's eyes quickly flashed a bright light, and when he raised his head again, his squinted eyes were only gentle, and he seemed to explain to Izumi Ren very intimately: "Isn't your ability omnipotent, so shuttle Things like time and space should be possible.”

He Quanlian was infected by the faint coolness in his tone, couldn't help shivering, and even moved her body back, showing some invisible resistance.

"You mean, let me be a space-time shuttle and go directly to the parallel time-space over there?"

He frowned with a tangled expression, looking very embarrassed: "But the things I make must require my imagination and combine reality. Positioning such an illusory thing in time and space... should not be possible, and I can't do it." I don’t know how to connect these two worlds.”

That's right, although He Quanlian's ability is against the sky, it can't be done out of thin air. Basically, he needs to have the knowledge used by the predecessors in his mind, like the magic flying carpet in the movie, with this basic concept , he can really make it.

In fact, He Quanlian himself didn't know where the limit of his ability was, but he didn't want to gamble with his life until it was absolutely necessary.

If the space-time shuttle he made connects to a place where nothing exists, then he has come to a dead end.

This was too dangerous, He Quanlian refused very seriously.

"That's it." Dazai Osamu's eyes flashed an imperceptible disappointment, but soon he made another opinion, "The time travel is not time and space, but time so what, I often appear in TV dramas, time travel Ten years later or something like that."

He Quanlian understood what he meant: "...December 12, half a year later, and jumping off the cliff on that night, can I go back without wasting time?"

Osamu Dazai continued the second half of the sentence: "If you really succeed, you can go to that world, travel through the timeline again, and jump to the time after falling off the cliff, so theoretically, you will always exist in that world."

He Quanlian's eyes lit up, and she didn't need to consider the possibility of having two of herself in that world!

"Dazai." He took a deep look at Dazai, and couldn't help stretching out his thumb, "You are really a genius."

Osamu Dazai chuckled, "So, you are pretty sure about the machine that jumps in time and space, right?"

"This should be similar, at least the location is this world, I can try." He Quanlian is too confident this time, and he doesn't have to worry about going to inexplicable places after jumping to the future, but one day he is more worried, "But If this kind of machine is to be replaced at an equivalent value, at least a lot of cash is needed to realize it..."

"Don't worry." Osamu Dazai seemed to be able to handle it with ease, "The organization is relatively rich, how about a box of gold for you?"

He Quanlian: "..." Huang, gold? !

This is too rich!

I didn't expect that the leader Osamu Dazai would put so much effort into him in order to let him go back safely. What a touching friendship this is! !

Izumi Ren was deeply moved, and immediately held Osamu Dazai's hand, shaking it sincerely: "I will never forget everything you have done for me, Dazai, my best friend! If possible, I must come back to visit you, You have to wait for me."

"Okay." Osamu Dazai responded with a gentle smile, "I'll wait for you to come back."

After formulating the goal plan, He Quanlian was no longer sad or worried, and felt extremely relaxed all over.

He explained to Osamu Dazai that he hadn't said goodbye to the friends he knew, so he didn't use the time machine for the time being, then waved his hand easily, and went out to say goodbye.

Sitting on the throne, Osamu Dazai's smile disappeared the moment he left.

Deep darkness appeared in his eyes, as if he was going to swallow everything, without any emotion.

"……forgive me."

The soft black hair on his forehead covered his eyes, and there was no trace of blood on that pale face. He murmured a word with a sigh, and his light tone seemed to be blown away by the wind.

The wrapped bandages gave him a sense of pale fragility. In fact, the pupils protruding from the hair did reveal a faint luster, as if they were sad or in pain.

"Forgive me, Lian."

He rested the back of his hand on his forehead, not to make his vulnerability so obvious.

"I didn't lie, I just hid the last part."

What he failed to say was his real purpose hidden behind.

I want to borrow a space-time shuttle, jump to the past time, and then secretly change some things.

Those things that affected him to become what he is today, those things that troubled him again.

"I don't believe in words like 'if' and 'if'. Only by changing it with my own hands is the most real."

So he will not wait here for He Quanlian's return, but will use the space-time shuttle to change the past.

Back to the comfortable days when he didn't have to be the leader, back to the possibility of being able to laugh with Oda Saku, although things may not be much better than now, but at least... he has a true friend.

The reason why I prepared a lot of money in advance and found the detailed information of the next meteor shower is to let He Quanlian create a space-time shuttle.

And now, he really seems to be succeeding.

Osamu Dazai took a deep breath, everything was ready, just quietly waiting for that moment to come.

He was sitting in the office, intending to wait for He Quanlian's return, but after waiting for a long time, He Quanlian didn't come back. Instead, He Quanlian received a call from his private number.

In order to prevent accidents with He Quanlian, he specially left this private number to the other party this morning, but he didn't expect it to be really useful.

Osamu Dazai felt strange, raised his eyebrows and picked up the phone: "Izumi?"

"Ah, Dazai?" Hequanlian's voice was a bit noisy, as if he was outside, Dazai moved the phone away from his ear, and then heard Hequanlian's excited tone: "Now you can immediately Come to the bar?"

"Lupin's Bar?" This is the only meeting place for the two of them, Osamu Dazai quickly guessed, "Why?"

"Before I leave, I want to chat with you again. Don't wear the leader's clothes this time. You can just dress up as usual. I'll wait for you here. Be sure to come!"

Izumi Ren's tone was as if if you don't come, I won't leave, but it made Osamu Dazai smile from the bottom of his heart.

He Quanlian will probably never know how much he likes such an ordinary life, going to drink with friends, chatting, talking freely...all are what he wants extravagantly.

"Okay, I will definitely go."

Therefore, Osamu Dazai agreed without any hesitation, changed into ordinary clothes and came to the bar.

What was just puzzling was that there was no shadow of He Quanlian in the bar, and the seats in front of the bar were empty, as if there were no traces left.

Osamu Dazai sat down in his seat, and was about to frown to make a call to Izumi Ren, but at the same time, a series of strange phone numbers suddenly called to his mobile phone.

In the past, Osamu Dazai would never have paid attention to the unfamiliar number, but he had a faint premonition in his heart that it might have something to do with Izumi Ren, so he finally chose to connect.

The moment the phone was connected, the familiar voice from inside made his eyes widen.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Dazai?" A slightly deep voice with a unique voice came clearly through the earpiece.

Osamu Dazai even forgot to breathe, he could only hold on to his mobile phone tightly, and the sound of his heartbeat intensified.

"I found a black cat on the street with your phone number written on a collar around its neck."

"... cat." Osamu Dazai was stunned, his dull brain still couldn't function well, he didn't even know what to say to Sakunosuke Oda.

Fortunately, although Oda Sakunosuke felt strange, he still asked kindly: "Where are you now, I will help you send this little guy there."

Osamu Dazai seemed to wake up, and quickly looked up at the surrounding environment: "It's... Lupin's Bar."

"I'm also familiar with that bar, so I'll go there now, please wait for me."

The phone call stopped abruptly here.

But Osamu Dazai's heart almost jumped out of his throat, and he felt a sense of suffocation. He hurriedly took two sips of the whiskey beside him, hoping to use the effect of alcohol to wake himself up.

After calming down for about 5 minutes, he finally found time to sort out the series of things.

The answer he got was very simple, He Quanlian deliberately brought them together to meet each other. I am afraid that the cat was also transformed by He Quanlian.

Dazai Osamu had read about Izumiren being able to turn into an animal in a book, and he found it very strange, but when the other party really turned into a cat to help him deepen his friendship with Odasaku, he felt deeply moved.

It turns out that Izumi Ren didn't forget about Oda Saku and him, but decided to help them with practical actions.

There was a faint smile on Osamu Dazai's face, as well as his expectation for the future.

He guessed right, Izumi Ren said he wanted to say goodbye to his friends, but in fact he called Atsushi Nakajima together, and quickly looked for Oda Sakunosuke on the street.

After finding it in the shortest time, he spent some energy to transform into a black kitten, and put a collar engraved with Osamu Dazai's phone number and name around his neck.

Then swaggeringly stuck to Oda Sakunosuke's feet, touching the porcelain.

No matter how Oda Sakunosuke bypassed him and walked forward, Izumi Ren just hugged his trousers, showing a thick-skinned spirit of perseverance.

If he was in human form, it would be impossible for him to do such an embarrassing thing, but who made him a cat now, a cat can be willful!

So Oda Sakunosuke was stuck and had no choice but to squat down and scratch his chin helplessly, but his tone contained a touch of pampering: "What are you doing with me, are you hungry?"

"Meow~" He Quanlian let out a very contrived cry, and tried to express her heart with her big shiny silver eyes.

Unfortunately, Oda Sakunosuke didn't receive it, but bought skewers and left them on the ground, as if he wanted to feed him.

Looking at the soil-covered barbecue, He Quanlian raised her head in disdain, ignored him, and hugged his thigh persistently.

"Don't like it?" Oda Sakunosuke followed suit and bought something else to feed him, but Izumi Ren refused.

There was no way, Oda Sakunosuke could only helplessly pick up the old cat, thought for a while, turned back to the detective agency, and asked his own children for help.

"...That's it, this cat has been sticking to me, what can you do?"

He Quanlian lay comfortably in his arms to rest. Originally, becoming a cat required constant physical exertion, so standing still would allow him to stand still for a while.

But after coming to the detective agency, he discovered that there were many familiar figures here, as well as unfamiliar ones.

For example, the black-haired child, with a slightly cold face, coughed with his hand on the corner of his lips from time to time, obviously he was someone He Quanlian didn't know.

The most amazing thing is that the tip of his hair near his cheek was dyed white, showing a unique sense of fashion.

He just stared at He Quanlian quietly, and then raised his voice a little and said maturely: "I have seen this kind of kittens before, and they usually come here to pray for food."

"But I fed it food and it didn't eat it." Oda Sakunosuke raised his lips slightly towards him, obviously he had a good impression of the boy.

Unexpectedly, the young man said coldly: "Pinch the back of its neck, open its mouth and forcefully swallow it, and it will eat it naturally."

"..." As soon as these words came out, everyone stared in horror.

"No, no, it's better to treat animals gently." Tanizaki Junichiro quickly waved his hands and advised, "This will annoy the little animals, Akutagawa."

Hearing this, Akutagawa's face suddenly showed some doubts, as if he didn't understand what he said, but Tanizaki Akemi's bright eyes, wishing to fall on the kitten, interrupted his desire to open his mouth, so he remained silent Did not speak again.

"It's so cute!" Akemi Tanizaki looked at Sakunosuke Oda pleadingly, "Can I hug it?"

Oda Sakunosuke didn't mind, but no matter how much he tried to tear the cat apart, the kitten would meow desperately and grab the corner of his clothes. Scrapped.

No way, everyone had to give up the idea of ​​pulling the cat down, and turned around to guess what the cat wanted.

However, these possibilities were all dispelled by the kitten's disgusted gaze.

In the end, the president, Fukuzawa Yukichi, was alarmed, and the president personally came out to understand what Izumi Renmiao meant.

"Written on its collar is the name and phone number of the breeder. It should be the owner who wants to find it."

As expected of Fukuzawa Yukichi, he guessed the truth of the matter in just a few words, He Quanlian looked at him full of emotion, and even the palm of Fukuzawa Yukichi touched his head did not object.

And he keenly observed that Fukuzawa Yukichi looked at him with tenderness and kindness in his eyes, as if he liked him very much.

Could it be... the famous Lord Silver Wolf likes cats? !

Hequanlian seems to have discovered Fukuzawa Yukichi's big secret.

After all the incidents above, Oda Sakunosuke finally realized that he had to call Osamu Dazai, and then there was the above clip.

Tanizaki Junichiro originally wanted to go to meet Mr. Oda at the Lupin Bar, but how could Izumiren let him get what he wanted? He just held onto Oda Sakunosuke and refused to let go. There was no way, Oda Sakunosuke had to go there himself .

Less than a quarter of an hour after Osamu Dazai put down the phone, such a familiar figure appeared in the door.

Osamu Dazai felt that his body was becoming more and more stiff, and he couldn't even control his limbs flexibly, but when Oda Sakunosuke nodded politely at him, he reflexively evoked a gentle smile.

Oda Sakunosuke sat beside him, just like they drank in the parallel world, staring at him with slightly curled lips.

The black cat in his arms jumped out of his embrace nimbly, ran towards his chest, raised his head, looked at him with the purest and brightest silver eyes, and meowed softly.

"...I understand." Through the cat, Osamu Dazai seemed to be able to see the scene where the black-haired boy was smiling happily at him, and couldn't help covering the top of his head with trembling palms, "Thank you. "

He understands He Quanlian's good intentions, and he will definitely grasp the opportunity created by He Quanlian this time.

"You are the owner of this cat, right?" When he saw the black cat pounce on Dazai Osamu, Oda Sakunosuke had already confirmed the other party's name.

He couldn't help but glanced helplessly at the black cat that suddenly appeared to be very well-behaved, and gently tapped the center of the other's eyebrows with his fingertips: "Master is worried about you, don't run around next time."

The black cat looked at him and meowed softly.

"Thank you for helping me find him." Osamu Dazai raised his eyes, and looked at Sakunosuke Oda with a pair of kite eyes flowing with a little warmth, "He is my very important friend."

Although his heart was beating violently at this moment, as if it was about to jump out, on the surface he still spoke to the other party calmly.

"My name is Osamu Dazai." He smiled at Oda Sakunosuke, "If you don't mind, I'll buy you a drink."

Oda Sakunosuke would never reject the kindness of strangers. After a pause, he still picked up the whiskey with the golden liquid flowing, and naturally clinked the glass with Osamu Dazai.

It was just the simplest action, but it made Dazai Osamu feel happy from the bottom of his heart.

And Quanlian also looked at this scene with a little touch, suddenly flicked her tail, landed on the ground and looked in Dazai's direction for the last time, and quickly left the bar.

There is no problem in leaving the rest to Osamu Dazai.

All he lacked was an opportunity, and this opportunity and Quanlian had already been given to him.

It's a pre-parting gift.

He Quanlian returned to her figure and quickly returned to the chief's office before collapsing.

As soon as the door was opened, the gold in the suitcase quietly fell on the table, waiting for his use.

He Quanlian stroked the rough pattern of the box gently with his hands. When had he used such a luxurious medium, but such a heaven-defying thing like a space-time shuttle machine, it is impossible to manufacture it without paying a little price.

Well, whether it is success or failure, it is all stuck on the space-time shuttle!

He Quanlian's eyes burst out with a firm light. At this moment, he has no idea what kind of disaster the space-time shuttle left behind will bring to this world, and he is full of urgency to return to his own world.

He took a deep breath, and slowly lowered his palms towards the top of the box.

It only took less than a second for him to realize his wish, tension and anticipation flooded his chest, and he began to hold his breath unconsciously.

——Then, in the next second, someone grabbed his arm suddenly.

After turning his head in horror, what caught his eyes was a bright short pink hair with two obvious lollipops on it.

He Quanlian: ...Who are you? !

The author has something to say: I will go back in the next chapter~ You should also know who that pink-haired boy is.

Introducing Dazai Osamu to Oda Tsukuru was a kind gesture.
