Heibu doesn't want to talk

"You're awake." Luanbu stood beside the hospital bed.

Odasaku covered his forehead, and snorted: "Shin... Si, where is he?"

Ranpo silently motioned for Odasaku to follow him.

Dazai, who had just entered the door, noticed the two and hurriedly followed.

All the way was smooth, and the three of them arrived at Ranbu's office.

The huge ice cubes were placed next to the table, and Odasaku pushed the water mist in front of him, and his eyes widened suddenly.

Shinji's face appeared vaguely in the ice.

"He's dying, I can't find a person with supernatural powers who can heal." Ranbu turned his head away, his green eyes dimmed.

"...I see, thank you for what you did for Shinji, but..." Oda said slowly in a hoarse voice.

"I have to go."

Ranpo opened his eyes wide: "What are you talking about? What does Shinji want to do, no matter how you say it, he will still..."

"That's enough! I... can't pick up a pen anymore." Odasaku turned around and left the room.

Luanbu stared at the ice cube in a daze.

Dazai looked at the two friends with their backs turned away, gritted his teeth, and caught up with Odasaku, leaving Ranpo alone.

A faint sigh sounded in the empty room.

"Will die."

In the end, he changed nothing.

The sense of powerlessness kept pounding his spirit.

Odasaku died, and Osamu Dazai left.

Those who are left behind are random steps.

He still works hard every day for the frozen Shinji, but he can't remember the meaning of doing these things.

Then one day, the ice [melted].

Thus, Luanbu was relieved.

During the years when Osamu Dazai was silent, Ranpo bid farewell to Yokohama.

He returned to the place where it all started, the ordinary countryside.

Ranpo used to spend the most relaxing time in his life with his parents.

Ah...that was his home.

He belatedly remembered the vague faces of his parents.

Where are they... from?

Ranbu seemed to have suddenly fallen into a magic barrier, frantically recalling everything in the past.

But the harder he tried, the more blurred the short sleeping place became.

Can't go back, can't go back.

Even the last rights of being a son were taken away.

Ranpo returned to Yokohama with nothing, everything he had existed only on this land.

[Welcome back. ]

Next to Odasaku, Ranpo buried Shinji.

He has always been guilty of Shinji, and he fired that shot too accurately and too far.

In fact, Shinji has a chance to be rescued. Mr. Fukuzawa introduced Ranpo to Akiko Yosano, whose supernatural ability [Please don't die] can save Shinji.

but……

Oda is dead, why did he save Shinji?

Cold malice ran wildly in Luanbu's chest.

It didn't necessarily come from his intentional malice, but indeed, those negative emotions made Ranpo hesitate.

Even if Shinji's vitality is frozen, it still keeps losing, and there is no way to persist.

The moment Ranpo came to his senses, Shinji also reached his limit.

He held Shinji, who was wet and cold, and went to see the doctor Yosano.

Before he even had time to display his supernatural ability, Shinji fell into an eternal sleep in Ranpo's stiff embrace.

He has been lingering in this state of immortality for too long, maybe it is more like a relief for him.

But Ranpo couldn't comfort himself like this, it was denying everything he had done for Shinji.

Shinji is the last yardstick before his collapse, and Shinji is the last straw left by his friends.

Now, there are no shackles, and confusion can only be faced by Ranbu himself.
