Yokohama 8pm Theater

01

Chiko and Dazai met for the first time in a small clinic in Yokohama Rishiji.

The clinic is run by her adoptive father, a lolicon (cross out) doctor named Mori Ogai.The clinic is located at the junction of various forces, and the patients also come from these mutually hostile forces, which is the default neutral zone for everyone.

No matter how you try to calculate your life and death outside, as long as you step into this clinic, there will be only the relationship between patients and patients.

There used to be unsightly forces eyeing the clinic, trying to get information about the port Mafia from Mori Ogai, but they quickly disappeared from this land.

No one dared to provoke this clinic anymore, especially after Mori Ogai became the exclusive doctor of the leader of Hong Kong and black.

"—Qianzi, Dad will soon lead you and Alice to live a good life."

It was under such circumstances that she saw Osamu Dazai who was carried into the clinic by members of Hong Kong gangsters.

It is said that the teenager who fell into a coma due to suicide was lying on a stretcher. The arms and neck exposed under the large shirt were wrapped with thick bandages. It is unknown how many injuries he suffered to become like this.

His face was pale, and his delicate eyebrows were wrinkled unnaturally, as if he was enduring great pain.

Qian Zi couldn't help but think, the gangsters in Hong Kong are really getting more and more crazy as the teacher said, even teenage children are sent to the front line to work hard.Looking at this old wound, it must have been left by fighting with the enemy.

"It's the suffocating shock caused by a hard object stuck in the throat. Qianzi, prepare for the operation."

"Huh? Isn't it hemorrhagic shock caused by several shots in the body?"

"Don't make up things that don't exist. You don't even have a wound on his body that can bleed. How is that possible?"

"seems like it……"

02

The searchlights in the operating room flickered on and off.

"...This is also impossible."

There were a lot of rust on the brackets of the operating table, and when the black-haired boy was lifted up, he made a "creaking" sound due to the sudden weight.

"...Who made the old gangsters in Hong Kong invest their funds in frantically expanding their territory and eliminating hostile forces? Even I, the leader's exclusive doctor, can't disobey the leader's wishes."

Putting on the surgical gown that still looked dirty and old after repeated disinfection, Mori Ogai checked the surgical instruments for the last time, and after confirming that there were no omissions, he signaled to Chiko that it was time to inject anesthesia.

"...Hey, I thought I could replace all the equipment with new ones by joining Hong Kong Hei, but it turned out to be the same."

"—So, teacher, hurry up and kick the old man to the top. What about the one who promised to lead me and Alice to live a good life?"

Qianzi skillfully injected the anesthetic into the boy's body, while observing his reaction, he complained about his guardian's unreliability.

The small clinics in the other world do not have a complete surgical team like regular large hospitals. From doctors to nurses, each performs their duties, and often one person takes on several roles.

For example, Qian Zi, who was only 14 years old, took care of almost all chores, including disinfection, anesthesia, sutures, etc. ——Although it is the first time to work today.

If any patient knew that he was in such a dilapidated operating room, and the operation was performed by a two-person team including an underage girl, he might get up and escape if he was desperate.

It's a pity that the teenager lying on the operating table has never woken up from the beginning to the end, and it is impossible to know what he is going through.

"...Teacher, his eyelids seemed to move just now."

A scalpel cuts the skin in the throat area.

"It's okay, it's a normal stress response."

"...Teacher, his eyelids moved again."

He took the hemostatic cloth and sucked up the blood that splashed out and obstructed his vision.

"Are the vital signs normal?"

"……normal."

The tweezers are inserted into the broken esophagus to remove the foreign objects stuck inside.

"That's fine."

Putting down the scalpel, Mori Ogai signaled Chiko to suture the wound.

"Even if there is a small probability of regaining consciousness, I just know that the operation is going on and I won't feel any pain."

"...But if that's the case, wouldn't he have heard our conversation just now?"

"Well...that's really a problem."

"... Is the teacher going to kill someone to silence him? It's still too late to put the foreign object back in and pretend to be a medical accident that accidentally punctured the aorta."

"Qianzi, doctors are benevolent, don't have such dangerous thoughts."

03

Chiko didn't know what Mori Ogai and the boy named Dazai talked about, but it turned out that the boy survived and became the first patient in history to stay in the clinic for postoperative recuperation.

Thus, Qianzi added another chore, which was to take care of Dazai until he recovered from his injury.

Because the operation was performed on the throat, Dazai was unable to speak for a long time.The communication between the two is basically carried out through Qianzi talking and Dazai writing.

It was all normal at first, until——

Late one night, Dazai accidentally scratched the unhealed wound, and blood poured into the air duct.The instinct to survive woke him up from the dream. He struggled and fell off the hospital bed, but because there was no warning bell around him and he couldn't shout, he almost died slowly in the pain of suffocation.

If it wasn't for Qianzi's insistence to come and see the situation every night, and the incident happened at that time, it is estimated that Dazai would already be on his way to Santuchuan.

After that, Chiko saved her mobile phone number in Dazai's mobile phone, put it at the first place in the contacts, and set up a shortcut key.

In addition, she also canceled the regular rounds every night and changed it to accompany the night.

——She just looked at Dazai too pitiful and didn't want the teacher's partner to have an accident. She was definitely not confused by the 'silent beauty'!

A few months later, when Dazai spoke, Chiko finally understood what it means to be "beauty silent, as quiet as a stone statue".

——Some guys are beautiful when they don't talk, but once they talk, it's not an exaggeration to call him a "dog"!

"Qianzi, the safety of Mr. Dazai is entrusted to you. You must not let him die."

"Can I refuse, teacher?"

"Don't you like him?"

"I used to like him who didn't speak, but now I'm disillusioned."

"Hmm... When the 'thing' is over, do you need me to help you dumb him down?"

"No—no need! I'm talking casually. Don't worry, teacher, he won't let him die."

……

After Dazai recovered from his injuries, he became a regular visitor to Mori's clinic.

One of the reasons is that he accidentally learned the secret of Mori Ogai's plan to kick the leader of Hong Kong gangsters, and he joined the plan half-voluntarily and half-forced.

The second reason is that every time he committed suicide, he would be discovered by Qian Zi and brought to the clinic for emergency treatment.

Faced with a person who repeatedly wants to commit suicide, any normal person would not be so stupid as to save him over and over again, especially when he was rescued and all he got was disgusted and unhappy eyes.

Then--

Chiko became such a stupid and abnormal person at the request of Mori Ogai.

"Everything is for the good life of her and Alice in the future."

Whenever he saves Dazai who committed suicide, Qianko uses these words to paralyze himself when faced with the boy's poisonous tongue attack.

Later, I don't know when it started.

The boy who attempted suicide put away his stabbing attitude, and the girl who habitually came to save him every time also forgot the original intention of doing so.

"Why do you want to die?"

"Does Qianzi really think that life is meaningful?"

"Hmm... You almost got caught in it! Anyway, to me, 'it' is meaningful. Since you haven't found the meaning of living, let me find it with you."

"Oh—so troublesome—"

"People who trouble others all day are not qualified to say that."

At the age of 14, Chiko met Dazai.

I have an emotion called "like" for the boy's face and the weak and helpless posture during the recovery period. Unfortunately, this "like" is like a summer soap bubble, which shattered the moment the boy opened his mouth to speak.

At the age of 17, Chiko fell in love with Dazai again.

The girl who has not passed half of her life silently made a wish in her heart to "be together for the rest of her life", and the boy returned the same wish.

At the age of 27, Michiko recovered all the memories of "Thousand Sons".

Only then did she suddenly understand that "Thousand Sons" did not fall in love with Dazai again, but had always liked him.Since the age of 14, nothing has changed.

-END-

14 years old.

In Mori Clinic, "fortunately" he regained consciousness from the state of general anesthesia during the operation. Dazai felt the strange experience of cutting his neck with a scalpel and stitching it with a needle and thread, and silently remembered the proposal to kill him. unknown girl.

……

"Mr. Dazai, Qianzi is a good child, you should get along well."

"Good boy? Are you going to silence me and pretend to be a good boy who died of medical malpractice?"

"No.—you'll see soon enough."

……

Later, it was also at Sen's Clinic.

Unfortunately, he broke his neck in his sleep and caused massive bleeding. Dazai endured the triple-folded "Chronic Pain Package" of wound tearing, blood pouring and breathing difficulties, and silently remembered this and kept saying to him, "Don't be afraid, I will save you." you" girl.
