Cheng walked into the living room in the early morning, and the boy was already waiting there quietly.Wrapped in a long black coat, he looked extremely pale and thin, but he didn't give off the slightest sense of weakness, like a fragile and sharp knife.

Last night, he rejected Cheng's offer to tidy up the guest room for him to rest on the grounds that "it is easier to maintain vigilance and high mobility in a spacious place, not to mention that it is a heinous crime to be so slack in the task assigned by Mr. Dazai."

This is indeed part of the reason, but Kawasaki Sumire can also see that there are other reasons.

She thought about it, probably resting peacefully in an unfamiliar place was indeed against the puppy's sensitive and cautious nature, so she didn't force it anymore.

"Akutagawa-kun didn't sleep all night, right?" Chung said to him, "If it can refresh you, the bathroom is over there. I have prepared new toilet utensils, and they are next to the sink. Please help yourself."

After Akutagawa thanked him politely, he walked away, and the sound of water came from the bathroom.

—Is it to run away, this.

Cheng secretly smiled a little wickedly.

——Since there is a teacher like Dazai, it would be better to learn all kinds of things, such as flirting, flirting, flirting.

While thinking endlessly, she tied up her hair and walked towards the kitchen.

Akutagawa splashed water on his face, subconsciously paying attention to the sound of Cheng's approaching footsteps, and subconsciously stretched a string when she passed the bathroom door.

Kawasaki Summi walked over without hesitation, and it seemed that the end point was the kitchen.

So the indescribable string that existed in Akutagawa's heart slowly, slowly relaxed.

"By the way, Akutagawa-kun..."

——So when Kawasaki Summi suddenly turned back, after only a very short moment, his strings quickly went through the process from tightening to breaking, and the stress defense mechanism was activated, spontaneously trying to eliminate unstable factors.

"Stop, Rashomon——!!!"

Chung, who leaned halfway through the door, saw Akutagawa's clothes hem rushing in a violent torrent almost at the same time as he made a sound, followed by Akutagawa Ryunosuke's head raised suddenly and shouting.

"...Is there any food you don't like?"

Cheng looked at the pitch-black sharp blade stopped less than half an arm's distance away in front of him, and the young man whose chest heaved violently, and finished the second half of his sentence.

The fear of almost announcing the failure of the mission by "manslaughtering Mr. Dazai's most important protection object by hand" is still surging in Akutagawa Ryunosuke's chest until the water droplets splashed around him under the violent action just now. The frost-colored temple hair dripped down and wet his shoulders, and Akutagawa woke up suddenly, looking at Kawasaki Summi.

However, Cheng, who was given a complicated look by the young man, burst out laughing after being stunned for a while.

It was the kind of pure smile that showed no pretense, from the eyebrows and eyes.

"Sorry, sorry, I was wrong to scare you."

Cheng stretched out his hand, first lightly touched the not-so-sharp side of the black thin blade with his fingertips, and then stuck to his palm.

"It's okay, Rashomon is a good boy, he protected Akutagawa-kun well."

"Varied……"

Rashomon is the ability to change the shape of the hem of the coat, so the weapon that Akutagawa Ryunosuke has been using to slaughter is not a part of the body, but such a gentle touch that does not hurt him falls in his eyes, but it makes him feel unreasonable. trembling.

Akutagawa pulled back Rashomon abruptly, only uttered one syllable, and then he didn't know how to continue this conversation, or in other words, the current scene, the other party's reaction and attitude, all made it difficult for him to deal with it because of the strangeness and unfamiliarity.

"I'm sorry, Akutagawa-kun, this will probably make you unhappy..." Cheng looked at his empty palm regretfully, "But, from the first time we met, I felt that your Rashomon is really a great ability ...Look, it doesn't have a form like Dazai's disqualification in the world and my healing, but like this—it is displayed in front of the world in a gentle form that seems to embrace itself."

Cheng raised her face, and from her face, she could not find any evidence that these words did not come from her heart.

"Of course, it is also outstanding in terms of strength, application fields and growth, but, for me personally, this is the most enviable point."

Cheng said.

"It makes the master and the ability itself less likely to be lonely, that's it."

She blinked slightly.

"It's a strange idea, right? Please act as if you haven't heard the rude words. Ah, yes, I almost forgot the original purpose... Because I'm going to make breakfast, so Akutagawa-kun, do you have any food you hate? "

If possible, Akutagawa Ryunosuke wanted to reject Cheng's kindness again, but the feeling in his stomach reminded him that it had been quite a long time since he last ate, because this kind of thing made his body weak and weakened his combat power, ( Even Akutagawa with an extreme personality can judge that this is putting the cart before the horse.

Then, the next best thing is to be picky about food when accepting other people's hospitality, which violates the etiquette of Akutagawa Ryunosuke.

On the other side, Kawasaki Sumire, who received the reply "Please follow your preferences and habits", once again felt the cuteness of the boy.

——Obviously the age with high energy, the most easily distracted and hated restraint, but able to concentrate on work, and at the same time abide by the etiquette... Well, although sometimes it may be too radical... Generally speaking, he is a pretty good kid .

In terms of recognizing others, Kawasaki Sumire has a sharper intuition and observation than ordinary people. At the same time, she tends to focus on the good side of others, coupled with a personality that likes to take care of others, and is actually very good at The characteristic of caring for people... She will spoil the people around her too much if she is not paying attention, so out of kindness and concern for the loved ones, she also maintains a considerable awareness of avoiding becoming a waste material machine.

For example, it’s not okay to be too used to Dazai. Sooner or later, he will evolve from a socially unstable member to a social kitchen waste.

——As for Akutagawa Ryunosuke-kun, there is no problem at all!Because he is still a child!

This is the fundamental reason that drove Kawasaki Sumire to prepare a sumptuous breakfast.

Akutagawa fell into a momentary loss of speech when faced with the food in front of him, which was a bit too much in terms of category and portion for breakfast.

"Ah, that, I'm sorry, I couldn't control it for a while." Cheng explained, while cutting open the fried egg in front of him, he was satisfied to see that the egg yolk with rich color and fine texture cooked with perfect heat showed the best Status, "Although Akutagawa-kun said that there is no food you hate, I don't know what food you like, so just pick what you like, don't force yourself."

"..."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke is a school who eats and sleeps without talking.

Although Cheng felt that the dining table would look a little deserted this way, there was nothing wrong with that.

It's just that at this time, she will inevitably miss Osamu Dazai a little bit.

So, where is he at the moment, who is he meeting, what is he doing, and what are his thoughts.

In fact, at more moments of parting, Kawasaki Summi thinks more about what kind of method Dazai is using to commit suicide?

He may have jumped into the river again, hung himself from a tree, or ate poisonous mushrooms.

It's not that he doesn't worry about him, but Cheng also understands that the constant suicide may be some way for Dazai to struggle to continue living.

So, she accepted his questioning and pursuit of "death" just like she accepted Dazai.

It's just that Cheng often thinks about it.

"If Dazai lying in the river can feel the warmth of the sunlight passing through the water, if Dazai hanging on a tree can see tender flower buds, and if Dazai eating poisonous mushrooms can experience beautiful hallucinations... Then, All of that, to give him a little, 'the world still has a beautiful side to it' touch, and that's good."

she said to herself.

If all these together give him the courage to live until tomorrow, then so much the better.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke put down the tableware, and made an extremely small sound, waking Summi from his thoughts.

"Is it ready..."

Cheng stood up and looked at the dining table, his eyes suddenly softened.

"Oh, Akutagawa-kun..."

There were no leftovers on the plate, and Kawasaki Summi, who was the cook, could tell that the food was enjoyed with an attitude close to cherishing it.

"Miss Kawasaki..."

Cheng did not hide his joy at all: "Can you call me Cheng?"

"...Miss Cheng."

After a while, Akutagawa Ryunosuke said.

"Thanks for the hospitality."

During this period of silence, he and something in his heart finally had to compromise with each other after experiencing fierce conflicts and arguments, and reached a short and awkward handshake and peace.

"What do you guys mean by your recent little moves? Are you making up your mind again?"

"It's okay to tell Chuya you." Osamu Dazai said briskly, "Actually, I have a lovely girlfriend and I'm preparing to live together."

Chuya Zhongya didn't know for a moment whether he should complain first, "Don't call the bloody cleansing of forces hostile to you like visiting a furniture store!"

"Is there any woman who can fall in love with a scum like you?? You can't cheat the other party, right?" Nakahara Nakaya shook Dazai Osamu's shoulder vigorously, "Did you tell her well, your bastard nature?!"

"Totally clear, the day I confessed to her, I attempted suicide in the bathtub of her apartment."

"...you are a complete scumbag."

"Well, I don't deny that."

After dealing with Chuya's accusation nonchalantly, Dazai showed a nostalgic expression.

"That day, I originally wanted to drown myself in the bathtub, but later, I saw her face through the water, and I was accidentally hit by her expression. At that moment, I suddenly felt that I would die before I died. I had something to do, so I got up wet and asked her to be my lover."

Since.

Whether it is the Dazai who jumped into the river, the Dazai who hung on the tree, or the Dazai who ate the poisonous mushroom, they will suddenly think of her face.

——Ah, although I don't know if I have the courage to live until tomorrow, but at least this time I will live until the second I meet Ah Cheng.

This is what Osamu Dazai was thinking about during those moments.
