Canary of the gods

On the one hand, there is Kusuo Saiki who let him return to the human world, and the life of ordinary people who needs to re-adapt to everything;

Which one should he choose?No, or rather, he should choose what to pay.

The former is completely new to him, with unknown risks.He needs to abandon the convenience of life brought to him by supernatural powers, re-adapt to society as an ordinary person, and integrate into the crowd.

The latter is already familiar to him, and the risk is controllable.What he lost would be the bamboo horse who had been with him for more than ten years and was the only one who accompanied him.

A temple repair can step out of the comfort zone for Saiki Kusuo, but what if there are also people with different meanings to him on the other side of the comfort zone?

A temple repair looked at the hands holding him, and for some reason suddenly thought of something in another world.

Osamu Dazai held his hand in the same way and asked him, "Do you remember what you talked in your sleep last night?"

Thinking of this, his messy head suddenly became empty.

He raised his head and glanced at Osamu Dazai in front of him.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Osamu Dazai looked at him, as if he suddenly remembered something, he touched his forehead with one free hand, it was really hot, "Do you have a headache?"

"……Um."

Originally, his head didn't hurt, at most he was a little dazed because of the high fever.But right now, he is troubled by the two problems in front of him, his mind is in a mess, and he can't make sense of it no matter what, his head naturally hurts.

The more he thought about it, the more chaotic he became, and a temple cultivator wanted to take an ax to chop off all the mess in his mind, or smash two small islands to vent his anger.

Unfortunately... As Saiki Kusuo and Dazai Osamu said, violence cannot solve all problems.

It was quite rare for him to look so listless, Osamu Dazai rubbed his head, but the other party didn't resist.It's a bit like a cat who finds out that the canned food at home is gone, not only that, but even the dried fish is gone, sad, downcast, pitiful and cute.

"You look very distressed." Osamu Dazai decided to help their "cat" out of trouble, "I guess, your thoughts now are a bit like you don't want to leave home, you are afraid of leaving your parents, but you want to play with your peers in kindergarten kid?"

A temple cultivator: "..." What a bad metaphor.

Osamu Dazai observed his expression, and felt that his guess was right.

"Reluctance to bear with Kusuo-kun?" Who said that the relationship was only at the level of acquaintance?

A temple monk muttered for a while, then said stiffly: "He has come to look for me, if I don't go back, it will be very disrespectful to him."

Osamu Dazai couldn't help laughing, but didn't expose him, and continued, "Then why don't you want to part with the detective agency?"

"Anyway, it's a serious job." A repairman said bluntly.

Osamu Dazai said, when you signed the cooperation agreement with the gallery, wasn’t it also a serious job?It's not like just leave.And, if you really think so, then don't look away and don't dare to look at him.

Of course, he also buried these words in his heart and did not say them out.

"Xiu, children will always leave their parents' side when they grow up."

Using "children and parents" to describe the relationship between him and Saiki Kusuo, Jijiu Ji felt very awkward-he is obviously older than high school student Kusuo now.

Osamu Dazai went on to say: "The time on your body has been different for several years. You are already a social person who has started working, but he is still a student in high school. You have your own life, your own study or work, and your own communication. circle, no one’s life revolves around others all the time.”

"Similarly, there is no one's life. If you lose someone, you can't live it."

"The past made you who you are now, and the one who can determine the future, no one can help except you now."

"Whether it's Kusuo-kun who influenced you, or me who is giving you advice now, it's not you. Whether the water we handed you is cold or hot, sweet or bitter, You can only understand it if you drink it yourself."

A temple cultivator unconsciously licked his dry lips, and muttered, "But you are so smart, why don't you know..."

"But you don't know." Osamu Dazai nodded his heart, "We can indeed make decisions for you, but you are not a puppet in our hands, you are a person with thoughts and feelings."

"It's been several years since you left your original world. After you go back, everything has to start from scratch except the Kusuo-kun you know. Life, work, social interaction..."

A monk shook his head violently when he heard this, "It's good to squat at home."

Osamu Dazai asked, "Then what do you use to support yourself?"

"I can draw..."

Osamu Dazai was surprised, "You are just a fledgling rookie without any reputation, right? How can you be sure that your paintings will be sold?"

"..." Yes.

"Besides, don't you need to socialize with people when painting? Galleries, brokers, buyers... And, if you lose your superpowers, what should you do if you have conflicts when negotiating with people? Give in? No, no, no, you have such a temper ... beat someone?"

"..." A temple cultivator had nothing to say.His eyebrows were tangled together in distress.

"For Kusuo-kun, you can choose a life that you may not be suitable for, or even dislike. What is your motivation?" Osamu Dazai played with his hand, and said softly, "Because he is very important to you, It is the guidepost of your life. In the past ten years, only he has been by your side. Even if you brought him a lot of troubles, he did not give up on you. So you can't let him down, and you can't let him feel that the past ten years Years of hard work just disappeared like in vain...Is that so?"

"..." A temple cultivator lowered his head and was silent for a long time before letting out a muffled "hmm".

"Then you haven't thought about yourself?" Osamu Dazai spoke in a softer voice, as if he was facing a fluffy dandelion, and if he spoke a little harder, the airflow would blow him away.

"...It doesn't matter." To be honest, he really didn't think about his future life.

"..." Osamu Dazai stretched out his hand, rubbed his head twice vigorously, and said with a sigh, "Then, have you ever thought that it doesn't matter to Kusuo-kun whether you go back or not?"

"?"

"He was right."

Saiki Kusuo suddenly appeared in the room with his hands folded on his chest, only a few steps away from them.

He glanced at Osamu Dazai, who had a smile on his face, holding a temple priest's hand and didn't intend to let go.As long as Osamu Dazai doesn't let go, and the disqualification in the world takes effect, Saiki Kusuo will not be able to have a separate heart-to-heart dialogue with Jiyi Yijiu.

The meaning of the other party is obvious, and he will also participate in the next conversation.

Tsk, forget it, there is nothing to say anyway.

Thinking of this, Saiki Kusuo quickly looked away from him.

"... Kusuo?" A temple priest was a little surprised, "Have you dealt with the matter? So quickly?"

Saiki Kusuo was expressionless: "What's the matter with such a reaction? Who do you think I am?"

"……"All right.But what did Saiki Kusuo mean by what he said just now?

"Don't get me wrong, I picked you back at the beginning, just to prevent some bastard from causing the end of the world again. I just want to live an ordinary life, and I have no idea of ​​becoming a savior by showing off."

Without waiting for a temple repair to say anything, Saiki Kusuo continued: "To be honest, if you don't go back, I don't have to worry about your problems anymore. Obviously you are older than me now, why do you still look like a person who needs parents to arrange life, The kid who cleans up the mess?"

"..." So does his bamboo horse despise him?

"Yes, you finally have such a self-awareness." Saiki Kusuo even counted on his fingers, "Kindergarten was abducted 58 times under different pretexts, elementary school 21 times, junior high school 13 times, high school 7 times... ...You were almost sold abroad once, do you still need me to help you review the previous situation?"

"Pfft!" Osamu Dazai couldn't help laughing, "Xiu's student life is really colorful~"

"..." A temple cultivator puffed up his face unconsciously, like a chubby goldfish.

Osamu Dazai was curious and wanted to poke him, but... for the time being, it's better not to provoke the big boss who guards the level.

Although he didn't move, the big boss who guarded the level has been paying attention to him.

Saiki Kusuo glanced at Osamu Dazai coolly, snorted coldly in his heart, and suddenly mentioned another thing: "One time, someone abducted you to the house with a limited game disc, and the other party pushed you to the bed, so you were so scared for a moment. Mobile came to my house and yelled something like, 'Why did you take off your clothes when you said we were playing games online together'... something like that."

Osamu Dazai: "...?"

He took a meaningful look at a monk who was very unconvinced.

Then Saiki Kusuo said quietly again: "Do you still remember what I told you after that? Haven't you forgotten?"

Although he was speaking to a priest, his gaze was vaguely directed towards Osamu Dazai.The latter was so stared at by him that he felt hairy in his heart, and suddenly felt an indescribable subtlety.

Ji Yiyi didn't notice the undercurrent between the two, and thought that Saiki Kusuo suspected that he had forgotten about it, so he curled his lips and said, "Remember, no, it's just: anyone who climbs on me without my permission The woman had her memories erased and thrown back to her home, while the man stripped off his clothes and broke his legs, and threw them into the bustling streets with the most crowds.”

Dazai Osamu: "..."

Kusuo Saiki curled his lips in satisfaction, and said meaningfully: "I have a little understanding, the two most influential civil organizations here in Yokohama are the Port Mafia and the Armed Detective Agency. You can also call that guy Take a copy of the photo and spread it to these two places. After all, no matter black or white, this kind of person is a stinky mouse that everyone shouts and beats, and they often have bad thoughts. It’s about taking precautions.”

A temple cultivator nodded: "Oh."

Osamu Dazai: "..." You are really competent as a gatekeeper boss, Kusuo-kun.
