[Comprehensive + Sword Dance] Warm Wind Story

Consciousness is still in a fuzzy state.

What is reflected in the eyes is the hazy white, and the ominous blood that gradually soaks into the white.

He watched the world turn blood-colored, and gradually dimmed, turning into indescribable blackness.

Before being eroded by darkness, this unknown world ushered in the dawn of light.

"...Zhongye?"

There is a familiar female voice next to my ear.

But for a moment, the owner of the voice looked at him.

When he opened his eyes, the confusion had not faded away.

He subconsciously looked at the woman next to him, her eyes reflected her figure in Ruhai's eyes, she was more fragile than in the past, but extremely attractive.

"What's the matter, Chuya?"

She called out his name again, her voice was like a breeze blowing away the fog in a dream.

"...Ah, it's okay."

He replied like this, stretching out his arms to cover his eyes, his voice was hoarse from just waking up.

"You don't look like you're fine." There was undisguised concern in her words, and her voice was soft as if he was afraid of being woken up, "...Did you have some bad dreams?"

"Probably." He subconsciously recalled the content of the dream, but what responded to him was only a vague tingling sensation, which made him feel uncomfortable like a hangover, so he immediately gave up the association, "Don't worry—it's just a mistake It’s just a dream that remembers the content, nothing more.”

"Well, it was just a dream."

She answered softly, obviously no different from the gentle tone he was familiar with, but it made him vaguely feel that there were some other emotions hidden by her.

He put down his hands and sat up, looking sideways at her.

The other party returned him a questioning expression, but the next moment he showed a shallow smile and said to him, "Good morning."

"Well, good morning."

He didn't see anything unusual.

So something similar to intuition was ignored by him, and he resumed his previous efficiency, washed and dressed with her, and prepared to start a new day.

——That dream was naturally forgotten.

Comparing the leisure of the Armed Detective Agency and the busyness of the Ability Secret Service Division, the Hong Kong gangster affairs are a bit regular.

Zhongye, who is always sent out on business trips, and Qinghe, who collects information for Chief Sen's various whims, these two are also busy people in the entire Hong Kong gangster.

Even Koyo Ozaki, who belongs to the cadre, sometimes sighs with emotion. Seiwa, who was not very involved in the mission before, is now more and more hardworking.

"...Then, I will leave the work of collecting information to Ms. Qinghe."

Qinghe had only been free for two days, and Mori Ogai arranged a lot of work for her because of a whim.

"Boss, did you really not do it on purpose?" Qing He took over the hostile organization information he handed over with a smile, and questioned him without changing his face, "Although it's all information that you can get casually, you don't Do you feel that the tasks assigned to me are getting closer and closer recently?"

"Have it?"

"What do you think?" Qing He pushed back the question, "Leader, you and I know some things... I hope your actions are not for some bad things."

"Miss Qinghe really wronged me." Mori Ogai was unmoved, with a perfect smile on his face, "Everything I do is for Hong Kong black."

"--hope so."

Qinghe stopped asking, but started to infiltrate the hostile organization with the newly obtained information.

After she left, the smile on Mori Ogai's face faded.

He sat there not knowing what he was thinking about. After a while, he took out the terminal in the drawer and dialed a certain number.

"This side has been ordered according to the plan."

His voice was very calm, but there was a bit of fear that he would not admit.

"Ah, if it was you, it should be successful... Heh, Dazai-kun is really humble. If you hadn't suddenly asked me to propose this plan, I wouldn't want to arrange these things behind her back."

It was Osamu Dazai who had little contact with him on the phone.

I don't know what kind of response he heard, Mori Ogai's eyes were full of oppressive darkness, as if something terrible was precipitated.

"... It is very hard work to master the two of them. Dazai-kun should not miss it... After all, Miss Qinghe is no longer a simple character. I have to admit that Miss Qinghe's achievements today, Not younger than when you were still here."

——In addition to the completion of the task, Mori Ogai is also alluding to the sense of crisis that Kiyoto gave him, which is almost the same as that of Osamu Dazai.

"Really? Then I will wait for the good news."

Mori Ogai hung up the phone.

"Matsumoto Kiyokazu...you have to let her pay more attention to Chuya-kun. Only in this way, she won't..."

He walked to the window, looked down at the scenery outside the window, and the unfinished words were gradually lost here.

Gang Hei, Hall.

Central Plains Chuya, who performed his own mission like Qinghe, also dealt with the enemy very neatly today, and returned to Hong Kong and Heilongjiang early.

Thinking that Qinghe should have finished solving the task at this time, Nakahara Chuya, who happened to be able to go home together, felt the gap between his thoughts and reality the next moment he stepped into the gate.

He saw some nasty guy.

"What are you guys doing here in Hong Kong!?"

The moment he saw the other party, Nakahara also showed a guarded expression.

"Ah~ It's been a long time, Chuya."

The man in the beige windbreaker just greeted him with a smile, as if he was not in the enemy's headquarters, but a tourist attraction, and he was more at ease than Chuya.

"Who wants to see you bastard?!" Just hearing his voice, Zhong Yuan felt that the whole person was not good, "Damn it, no one stopped you? Dazai!"

"Oh~ Chuya, did you mean those people outside who saw that I couldn't even hold a gun?" Dazai pretended to be stupefied, "Chuya was too lenient to them, and let them hold it with just a few threats from me." The hand of the gun is trembling all the time... It's really not as good as the group of people I taught."

"—Did you come here just to talk nonsense?"

"No~ Of course not." The smile on Dazai's face became brighter, he looked at Chuya with deep meaning in his eyes, "Speaking of which, you and Xiaoqing have been together for several years."

Zhong Yuan also had an expression of not knowing what he meant by mentioning this.

"Hmm... just a convenient victory is too boring." Dazai said something unclear, "Sure enough, it is only fair if both parties have the same information."

"What are you bastard talking about?!"

"—Hey, Chuya."

Dazai's iris-colored eyes were slightly closed, and the corners of his mouth were raised, revealing an expression of interest but hidden malice, and said to him in a bright tone that was completely opposite to his expression, "You know that Xiao Qinghe has hidden 'something' from you. ?"

"……what?"

"It's a very important thing." His tone was full of temptation, as if he was tempting him to open Pandora's box, "...it's a deception that Chuya can't stand."

The darkness seen in the dream flashed in Chuya's mind.

"……what do you want to say in the end?"

Nakahara couldn't help frowning, staring at Osamu Dazai with his hands in his pockets with a serious expression.

"I want to say..." Osamu Dazai squinted his eyes, and the curvature of his mouth became more and more obvious, "You, Chuya, have been 'hypnotized' by Xiao Qing and you all the time? Ah, it is more accurate to say that your memory, Chuya, has been Eliminated by Xiao Qinghe's people."

"Huh? What are you kidding! How could she—"

"—Chuya really thinks I'm joking?"

All the expressions on Dazai Osamu's face disappeared, and he became calm to indifferent.

His eyes fell on Nakahara Chuya, and the dull feeling exuded made Nakahara Nakaya realize that the normal-looking man in front of him was still as abnormal as he was many years ago.

"Chuya is almost aware of it, right? 'Forgot something important', 'It seems to be in a deep fog', 'She has something to hide from herself', such a feeling."

Zhong Yuanzhong could not refute.

He recalled that ethereal dream again.

"——Chung Ye."

In the moment Chuya was stunned, Dazai Osamu came in front of him.Dazai reached out and patted his shoulder, then retracted when he wanted to wave his hand away.

"Can you bear Xiao Qinghe's deception?"

His words echoed in Chuya's mind like some kind of spell.

The dream that has been invisible like a fog has become clear at this moment.

Zhong Yuanzhong finally saw everything in the fog.

——That is his memory that has been erased countless times, and it also represents Qinghe's countless times of deceiving him.

……

……

Because of the sudden restlessness, the task in Qinghe's hands was slightly delayed.

By the time she sent the information to Mori Ogai and returned to the apartment, it was already late at night.

The room was pitch black.

While thinking about it, Qinghe still hasn't come home yet, and is still asleep, walking slowly to the light switch, ready to turn on the light in the living room.

bump--

The moment she reached out to press the switch, someone restrained her.

With the only glimmer of moonlight outside the window, Qinghe saw clearly the person who captured her in the dark night.

"...Zhongye?"

She smelled the alcohol on the other person's body, which was different from the original light scent, this alcohol smell was noisy and dizzy.

"what."

Pressing her against the wall next to the switch, Nakahara responded in a somewhat delirious manner due to drunkenness.

"What's the matter, Chuya?" Qinghe didn't understand the other party's state for a while, although he kept grabbing her wrist and pressing her against the wall, Qinghe didn't break free, "...you're drunk."

"Ah, I know!"

He seemed to be worried about something, and his tone was a little impatient, but he remembered not to hurt her too much.

"What's the matter?"

"...Hello, Qinghe."

"Well, Chuya, I'm here."

Hearing Qinghe's anger-free response, Zhong Yuanzhong also kept this posture silent for a long time, and then he leaned forward again, pushing her firmly against the wall and trapping her in his arms.

Smelling of alcohol, he rested his head on her shoulder, breathing heavily.

"Dazai came to me today and said something."

Zhong Yuan, who was already drunk, was a little slurred when he spoke, but it didn't affect Qinghe's ability to hear what he said clearly.

When Osamu Dazai was mentioned, Kiyoka's expression changed instantly, but because of his posture, Chu couldn't see it either.

"...what did you say, sir?"

Her tone was still soft.

"He said you've been lying to me."

Mentioning this incident, Nakahara Chuya's expression became angry, he grabbed Qinghe more forcefully, and the aura around him changed.

"He said——you have been erasing my memory in order to conceal your identity!"

Qinghe vaguely heard the trembling sound of the tangible objects around her, and she felt the pain of her wrist being kneaded by gravity, but she didn't cry out.

"Nazhongye, do you believe what Mr. said?"

"——Qinghe." Zhongyuan Zhong also did not reply to this question, but suddenly lowered his voice, and said in a depressed tone that made Qinghe flustered, "I remember."

"……what?"

"I said, I remembered—the memories you erased."

He let go of his hand slightly, as if giving up something else.

At that moment, Qinghe felt something invisible shattered.

But even though the panic in his heart was about to overflow, Qinghe still had a confident smile on his face, and asked him softly, "...then Zhongye, what do you want to do?"

"I hate cheating the most." He replied in a deep voice.Because he was drunk, his voice was hoarse like mist, "Qing He, you know that I hate cheating the most."

"Well, I know." She smiled, but the words she said became broken, "I don't want to lie to Zhongye, so I have to eliminate those things that Zhongye can't know... I didn't expect Zhongye to I remembered it. It's obviously impossible...Obviously Chuya will always stay by my side only if I forget."

"feed me--"

"Hey, Zhongya." Qinghe interrupted what he wanted to say, she felt suddenly empty in her heart, but she took the initiative to put her arms around his neck and hugged him, "I really, really like You... If you can't accept me like this, I can accept it. But... don't push me away now, okay?"

The power of gravity is still in the state, as long as he wants to, he can easily get rid of her, but he doesn't.

"you--"

Qinghe didn't let him speak out.

Because the moment he opened his mouth, Qinghe kissed him, blocking everything he wanted to say.

She hugged him tightly, looking straight into his eyes, which were also not closed.

A few seconds later, Nakahara Chuya's eyes widened slightly, and Qinghe was subconsciously thrown away by him with his supernatural power.

He reached out to cover the side of his neck, and the moment he took it away, a small needle appeared in his hand, and then threw it away and shattered on the ground.

It was a needle filled with a strong anesthetic.

"You are still--"

"Sorry, Chuya."

There was no expression on Qinghe's face, and her loose hair was shining on the moonlight in the night, scattered on her shoulders.

She is like a beast caught in a net, her honey-like eyes show a palpitating deep color because of the dark room, "At this point, Chuya will definitely leave me, right? After all, Chuya, I've always hated cheating... I know it, I've always known it, but I can only keep Chuya if I do something that Chuya hates."

Nakahara Chuya's consciousness was a little fuzzy, but in this state, he suddenly recalled many things related to her.

The complexion in his eyes when he was with him.

Heard the silence when he mentioned the chief.

Anxiety that occasionally shows up alone.

There were also several times when he woke up from a trance, she was beside him with a hidden sadness but a forced smile.

Why didn't he notice it?

Why didn't he notice that the uneasiness in her heart has never dissipated since she was with him?

——Why, he never gave her the sense of security that she should have?

But now he couldn't think anymore.

Qinghe rubbed his wrist that was momentarily crushed by gravity, feeling the pain as if the bones were dislocated without changing his face.

She walked up to Nakaya, who was breathing calmly and was already drowsy, and reached out to take out his terminal from his arms.

After dialing the memorable number, Qinghe put the terminal to his ear.

After two beeps, the call was connected.

"Mr. Dazai."

"...Yeah, that's exactly what happened."

Hearing his voice, Qinghe softened his expression, "Mr. Dazai, why did you plan with Chief Mori to let me leave and tell Chuya about it?"

"Xiao Qinghe, you can't hide it from him for the rest of your life." Dazai's voice was as relaxed as ever, as if he knew that Qinghe would make such a call to him a long time ago, and his tone was not surprised at all, "I said it, it was said by the mouth Promises are often false dreams...Mr. Mori is afraid of your ability, and Chu can't accept deception, and even Miss Hongye hasn't discovered your truth."

"Xiao Qinghe, only I know everything about you, only I... understand everything about you."

"I know, but..." Qinghe looked at Zhongye's sleeping face, and slowly raised the corners of his lips, "Even Zhongye can't accept me like this, and I won't let him leave my life."

She said horrible things.

"Even if he doesn't love me anymore, I will let him return to loving me again."

"...You're really stubborn, Kiyokazu."

"Mr. Dazai is the one, there will be no next time."

Qinghe hung up the call and dialed another number casually.

"it's me."

Her eyes turned to the bright moon outside the window, and the stars around her.

"No, this time I want you to make a 'promise' to me... yes, I want you to share the ability of 'memory removal' with me."

The colorless Sword of Damocles hangs in the sky.

The king sword, which has always been intact, has been engraved with imperceptible cracks because of its owner's use of it illegally for the first time.

……

……

Zhongyuan also occasionally has the same dream.

There was him in the dream, and his wife Matsumoto Kiyokazu.

Most of the time, he can't remember the content of the dream, only knows the emotion he experienced in the dream, even after waking up, it still remains in his mind.

That feeling of depression, pain, anger, self-blame but helplessness has always lingered in his heart.

These feelings can't bother him for long, but they show their presence to him from time to time.

Until waking up one day, Zhong Yuanzhong also remembered everything he saw in his dream.

——He remembered the cold look she stubbornly showed not caring in front of him when she was about to cry.

He realized that even if the anger at being cheated by her could not dissipate, the love in his heart was not diminished.

Because he still loves her, he will be angry when he knows everything she has done.

He didn't tell her that he remembered everything, but pretended to be ignorant, watching everything she showed in front of him carefully and calmly.

He will smile from the heart because of his good morning.

He will show his eyes full of joy because of his concern.

Will be filled with tenderness because of his trust in her.

...Everything is showing her love for him.

Even if this love is based on "fake".

Only when he couldn't help but confess to her, could Zhong Ye understand how much anxiety was hidden in her heart.

"...Actually, I remembered."

"Really? Once again..."

Even she doesn't remember, this is the first time his memory has been erased.

Behind the repeated "reincarnation" is her relationship on the verge of collapse.

"...It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter even if Zhong Yuan hates me. I will let Zhong Yuan stay with me all the time, as long as Zhong Ye remembers me as the one you like, okay?"

When he closed his eyes, Chu also heard what she whispered to him.

—He didn't hate her.

It's not that he can't accept the real her, the only thing he cares about is the meaning contained in the deception itself.

Even though she had been cheating on him, he never hated her.

But he couldn't say that.

Because he understood that the current Qinghe would not believe what he said at the moment, and her eyes were full of fear of losing.

So he kept silent.

"—Chuya, good morning."

After being "removed" from memory again, Chuya opened his eyes and saw her smile at him.

"Good morning."

He responded to her greeting, but there was no blur in his mind when his memory was changed in the past.

—He still remembers everything.

Everything is back to what she considers "on track."

"Qinghe, you can trust me a little more."

"Hey~ I've always believed in Chuya."

Zhongyuan Zhong didn't let Qinghe see the complexity in his eyes.

No matter how many times he has to go through such "reincarnation", he also wants her to understand that his love for her is not something that will disappear so easily.

One day, he will be able to dispel the anxiety in her heart.

One day, he would be able to tell her that he would accept her no matter what she was.

The author has something to say:

Adding during the eleventh period, this chapter is less than [-] words. After all, the author Sang is busier at work after the festival.

Don't ask why you also write Tianshui Frozen Knife on October [-]st, because you dare not write it in the main text, but you want to express the depression accumulated by coding alone in reality.As for whether Chuya will really accept such reincarnation as in the text and is willing to fall together?That is not important anymore, as long as the author Sang Shuang is enough.

[small theater]

Xing Lian: He is obviously a leader who is good at everything, but when he meets a human being, he becomes a love brain (shakes his head and sighs but asks for whatever).Needless to say, that person must be bad.

Qinghe: When it comes to blackening, I am a professional, and no one can blacken me (smiling face).Blackening makes me happy, always black and always happy (broken jars broken).

Zhong Ye: Anyway, if you’re not used to it, you have to keep reincarnating as a fool, right?Isn't it blackening?It’s fine for me to hack together (irritated, resigned to fate and happy).

Dazai: Hey~ I originally hoped that Chuya would rather die than surrender (it’s not a big deal to watch the excitement), so Xiao Qinghe will know that only I can accept her, (with a blank face) What a pity...

Chief Mori: As long as you don't worry about my position, everything is fine.

Hongye:? ? ? (I am always out of tune with you because I am not enough ghosts)
