So the hat stand knocked Jae-mei down?

"A reward?"

Nakaya raised his head in doubt, and looked at Mori Ogai who was sitting opposite him.His humanoid superpower Alice was sitting on the carpet next to her, drawing with a crayon, she looked no different from an ordinary little girl.

Nakaya closed his gaze with just one glance, and then put his gaze back on Mori Ogai.He has almost adapted to Alice's "new image" now, accepting the reality that she has changed from a royal sister to a loli.

In the new life, some things around him are the same as in the past, but some things are completely different.For example, the image of Alice reminded Chuya Nakahara that he is now in a brand new world, instead of following the old path of the previous life step by step.

Chuya didn't panic, but felt that he accepted it well.First, he felt that it would be too boring if the new life remained the same for the rest of his life.The second is that such things may also represent his future, and he can change the ending of Osamu Dazai giving up everything and choosing to jump off the building.

"Well, this is a commission we accepted yesterday." On the opposite side, Mori Ogai was completely ignorant of the twists and turns in his heart, and continued to explain his purpose of appearing here with Nakaya and Dazai today. , "Find the Headless Horseman, and offer a reward of 100 million."

"The Headless Horseman?" Zhong was even more confused, "Who is this guy?"

"It's Irish folklore." Osamu Dazai, who had been silent since just now, finally spoke, "It is said that he was a knight whose head was beheaded by the enemy on the battlefield, because he was obsessed with his own head. It's too deep, so every time the moon is dark and the wind is high, he will ride his car out to look for the head."

"How could such a legendary figure exist in reality? Is there something wrong with the client's head?" Dazai asked sincerely without any tact.

"This is out of our control. The client is a rich man who likes to hunt for novelties. He paid us to find it, so we just accept it. What's more..." Mori Ogai's violet-like eyes flashed a sharp light, "The client said that he had really seen this headless horseman with his own eyes."

"Whether what he said is true or not is another matter. Even if it is true, it is not surprising. After all, don't we already have a living legend here?"

There were only two humans present, and both of them cast their eyes on Chuya at the same time.

Zhongyuan Zhongye: "..."

"Okay, I understand everything." Zhongya looked at each other calmly, "But how do we find this legendary figure, without any information, are we going to fly around like a headless chicken?"

"Don't worry about this. There is indeed information about this headless horseman. The last sighting was at—"

"Ikebukuro."

*

Today is the day of the entrance ceremony for the freshmen of Lailiang Academy, and the school gate is full of green teenagers and girls coming and going.Zhong Yuanzhong also stood among these little radish heads, only feeling that he was really out of place.

...Although it doesn't look like that from the height.

"Let me tell you." Zhong tugged at his brand new school uniform uncomfortably, he had never worn such a thing in his two lifetimes, "I can understand that I came to Ikebukuro to investigate, but why do we have to dress up Like an ordinary high school student?"

This is too awkward.

"Is there anything wrong?" Dazai adapted to the jk uniform very well, and this kind of clothes also fits perfectly with the youthful and invincible girl she set for herself. "Recently, Yokohama has gradually become peaceful. , There is nothing going on inside the organization, and Mr. Mori specially gave us half a month, so you can just come here for a vacation and relax."

"What's more, the client this time is so rare that he has a good temper. He only said that we should try to find the Headless Horseman. If we found him, we would come and have a look, and then add material for our new novel. Even if we can't find him , the other party will not hold us accountable.”

"That said..." Chuya obviously couldn't accept it, "You don't have to dress up as a high school student, do you?"

"Huh? Didn't I tell you?" Dazai turned his head, "Of course we came here for a reason. Someone in this school... is said to have a direct relationship with the Dullahan."

The girl didn't know where she found a lollipop, she unwrapped the candy wrapper and stuffed it into her mouth, seeing the corner of Nakahara Chuya's mouth twitch.

Why has this person not given up on the setting that beautiful girls must eat candy!

"You mean someone at this school knows where the Dull Horseman is?"

"Not sure." Dazai took a sip of the lollipop, and then he was disgusted by the sweet taste, and took it out directly, "It's just that the investigation is like this, what exactly is it, we still need to go further with that person Just make contact."

"Okay, who is that person?" Zhong also finally accepted the fact that he had to pretend to be a high school student.

"The name is Shilla Kishitani, male, a freshman in high school who entered Lailiang this year...here, that's him."

Nakaya looked in the direction Dazai pointed, and there were two teenagers walking together, one tall and one short.The tall man was tall and slender, his hair was dyed golden, and he was not a troublesome guy at first glance.

The shorter boy was a bit gentle and jade-like, with black hair and black eyes, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, no matter how he looked, he looked like a good student.But no matter how you look at it, Zhong also feels that the gentle look of the black-haired boy seems very inconsistent.

"Which one is he?"

"The one with black hair." Dazai quickly replied, "The admission procedures have already been completed, and we were secretly manipulated into the same class as Kishitani Shilla. The next step is to find a way to get close to him, and from him It is enough to inquire about the Headless Horseman there."

However, the two of them thought well, but in fact it backfired.For three full days after school started, no matter whether it was Chuya or Dazai, none of them could strike up a conversation with Kishitani Shilla.It was not Silla himself who was blocking them, but the blond boy who often appeared by his side, his good friend named Shizuo Heiwajima.

I don't know what's wrong with this blond boy. Every day, different bad guys come to trouble him. The frequency of people coming is variable. Some shout to challenge him, while others are purely looking for peace. Shimao Shima was upset.

Shizuo Heiwajima also never refuses anyone who comes, he comes to fight one by one, and a group of people fights a group, and he has never lost.There were often scenes of gang fights in the school playground, and he was the one who beat up a bunch of people.

And whenever this happens, Kishitani Shilla will run out excitedly to watch the fight scene of Shizuo Heiwajima as if he has been beaten with chicken blood.He listened carefully during class during the day, and ran out to watch other people fight between classes, because it took three days in a row, but Chuya and the others couldn't catch a suitable time to get to know Kishitani Shilla.

"It can't go on like this!" Dazai folded his hands together, supporting his slender chin.As soon as Kishitani Shilla's whereabouts were uncertain, the energy in her heart was aroused again.

At the beginning, she was the one who said that she was only here for a leisurely vacation, and wanted to investigate casually a few times. Now she is also the one who has started to make plans with great interest and must get close to Kishitani Silla.

Nakahara Chuya looked at Dazai, who seemed to have changed into a different person, with an expression he had long been used to.

Osamu Dazai, who changed his plan, decided to try his best to get close to Kishiya Shilla, and changed it to try his best to get close to Kishitani Shilla Heping and Shimao Shimao.Since the other party has always shown that he is very enthusiastic about the scene of Shizuo Heiwajima's fight, then she should approach from this point.

Zhong also did not object.

He wasn't interested in the Headless Horseman, but he was somewhat interested in Shizuo Heiwajima.This is undoubtedly because of his astonishing strange strength, he can easily pull up the signboard on the roadside, and kick a teenage half-sized boy more than ten meters away with one kick.

If this is something done by a person with supernatural powers, he wouldn't be surprised, after all, he can do it without breaking a sweat.However, Shizuo Heiwajima is different, he is an ordinary person without any special abilities.

So on the first day of changing the plan, Chuya and Dazai faced the scene of Shizuo Heiwajima fighting for the first time in the playground, and...another boy who didn't look like a good person.

"Yeah, how are you all?" The black-haired and red-eyed boy smiled maliciously, "Who are you?"

At that moment, Dazai Osamu, who was standing beside Nakahara Nakaya, restrained his teasing smile, and a deep light settled down in his kite-colored eyes.

That is--

Comes from a feeling of repulsion of like kind.
