Even Dazai can't think of it

Dazai Osamu's ability to know people is excellent, of course he can see that Hatsusaki himself has no murderous intent or malice towards him——

But this special knot for hanging suicide is too standard, right? !He himself can't tie the knots so well!

And let him get in by himself? !

"I'm committing suicide by jumping into the water?" Osamu Dazai reminded her of this fact, "And where in this world is there a way to save people by pulling them by the neck!"

Hatsusaki said resolutely, "Of course!"

Osamu Dazai: "...?"

"When I was young, before me," Hatsusaki paused, recalled, "I saw someone rescue a puppy who fell into the river with this kind of rope ring by the river, throw the knot down and it will drill itself Go in, be good!"

Osamu Dazai: "...?"

Osamu Dazai: "......??"

It's still a way to save dogs! ?Is this person here to avenge him for the Central Plains!

Osamu Dazai looked up at the sky expressionlessly: "Guru Guru Guru."

The girl didn't seem to notice anything wrong with what she said. After saying that, she threw the knot from the bank to Osamu Dazai who was floating in the river.

Then Osamu Dazai watched helplessly as the knot was thrown and floated at least two meters away from him.

Dazai Osamu: "..."

Hatsusaki: "..."

The two of them stared silently at the hemp rope floating in the water. After a while, Hatsusaki tentatively said, "Should you swim a few times before getting in?"

Dazai Osamu: "..."

Osamu Dazai: "...Huh?"

He said he committed suicide by jumping into the water!Why did he have to drill through by himself! ?

Osamu Dazai continued to "gurgle" in protest.

Hatsusaki saw that he was still and was not in a hurry, she stared at the ups and downs of the knot and pondered for a few seconds, then suddenly clapped her hands: "Yes!"

"Huh?" Osamu Dazai had a vague premonition, and the next second, the bad feeling came true.

The phantom-like translucent butterfly flapped its bulingbuling wings and flew towards the knot in the water. The light wings were dyed with the red light of gravity, and the butterfly diligently flew towards Osamu Dazai with the knot tied harder than her body. .

Osamu Dazai: "...Gulu."

He silently moved aside.

Then the butterfly also moved, hanging above his head, holding the knot and moving, like an iron claw aiming at a doll in a claw machine, eager to catch the doll named Osamu Dazai.

Osamu Dazai: "... Gulu Gulu."

The owner standing on the shore checked it from different angles, nodded in satisfaction, and then the slender butterfly let go of the knot, and the hemp rope hit Osamu Dazai on the face with a "slap".

The little butterfly who had completed the task was not in a hurry to leave, it carefully led a part of the knot, and then pulled the hemp rope into the water to ensure that the knot was firmly wrapped around Dazai Osamu's neck.

Dazai Osamu: "..."

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the girl's eagerness to stand up and try to pull the rope, and the hand that was stretched out to untie the knot before it was tightened suddenly stopped.

……what.

This is a way to die that has never been tried!Hang yourself in the water!It sounds very novel!The suffocation of the hanging and the oppression of the river... wonderful!

A Dazai fell into deep thought, why don't we just take advantage of the situation and try...?

Osamu Dazai grabbed the knot seriously and murmured, and then he gave up this choice regretfully, because Hatsusaki is not a person who will pull to death at first glance, and then he might suffocate, choke, and suffer from pain. No, I can't die.

He wanted to kill himself, but he hated pain.

Thinking of this, Osamu Dazai reluctantly turned over, and his slender arms swiped and pulled twice in the rushing river. The impact of the river water seemed to have no effect on him, and Osamu Dazai swam back to the shore without hindrance.

Hatsusaki looked at the wet Dazai Osamu, and was interrupted by Dazai Osamu before he could utter the first syllable: "Okay, shut up, I know what you want to say."

He turned to Hatsusaki, and took out his trouser pocket very calmly: "But as you can see, the wallet has been washed away by the river, so I don't have any money on me."

Hatsusaki: "...?"

Hatsaki: "I know, but you're wet, don't you need to dry it?"

Osamu Dazai took off the coat he was wearing, twisted it very casually, then he shook it dry, and put it carelessly on the naked clothes: "That's enough."

Without waiting for Hatsusaki to continue asking, Dazai Osamu continued: "Just came out of Rabo Street?...It's really incredible that you will come to this kind of place."

...?Incredible?Although she really didn't want to come to such a chaotic place like Radium Bowl Street, if she wanted to come, she shouldn't be too repulsive.

And this time the situation is special.

Osamu Dazai glanced at her expression from the corner of his eye, and then suddenly realized: "Oh, could it be that you got lost?"

"It's not lost, but I don't know where there is a restaurant nearby." Hatsusaki glanced at the time, and the feeling of an empty stomach happened to come at the same time, and she looked sleepy, "... I'm hungry."

"—Guji!"

Osamu Dazai pressed his stomach, his expression became serious: "I'm hungry too."

The two hungry people stared at each other in silence, then Osamu Dazai turned and said in a certain direction, "However, there is a lantern festival nearby today, which is very lively, let's go find something to eat."

Hatsaki responded with a tweet: "Lantern Festival...whatever, as long as you can buy something to eat."

Osamu Dazai raised his hand over there, like a kindergarten teacher on an outing: "Then let's go!"

The streets are covered with warm yellow lanterns, and there are various stalls in the gaps under the lanterns. Probably because it is a national festival, there are more types of vendors than sports festivals.

People in yukata laughed and walked past them, and the ancient lanterns hung above their heads. Hatsusaki had the illusion of time travel to ancient times.

Hatsusaki asked to herself, "Lantern Festival... What kind of festival is it celebrating? This is the first time I've heard of such a festival."

Under the warm lighting, Osamu Dazai looked a little cold: "This one, it's Chinese New Year, it became popular from Yokohama Chinatown."

Hatsusaki: "..."

Hatsusaki: "...... Chinese New Year."

She looked up at the swaying lantern above her head, and she heard foreign languages, and walked past a stall full of candied haws, Hatsusaki paused for a while, then walked over with a feeling of not knowing what to do.

The stall owner warmly entertained: "Do you want a candied haws? There are also apple candies! This kind of festival is nothing if you don't have an apple candy!"

"...Well," Hatsumi blinked, and her tone returned to cheerfulness, "Then let's have a piece of apple candy and candied haws!"

Osamu Dazai leaned over, and Hatsusaki stuffed his mouth with apple candy.

Osamu Dazai: "... Huh?"

Hatsusaki was very calm, she and Osamu Dazai looked at each other with candy in his mouth: "Please eat candy."

Dazai Osamu: "..."

Osamu Dazai took a bite out of the candy apple with great effort, then clutched his sore cheek and thought seriously——

Hanged himself in the river, choked on candy and dislocated his jaw and died.

...Has Hatsusaki come here today to help him discover a new suicide posture?

But sugar doesn’t matter after all, so Hatsusaki picked a udon noodle stall around, and she beckoned to the boss: “Have a bowl of clear soup udon noodles!”

Osamu Dazai's half-dry hairy head poked out from behind her: "I want one too!"

The two servings of udon noodles were quickly cooked and brought up by the stall owner. Not many people eat udon noodles as a staple food at this moment, so the surrounding area was rarely empty.

Hatsusaki carefully blew the noodles to cool, then narrowed her eyes and boasted: "It's delicious."

The boss smiled: "Right? I have been making udon noodles for more than ten years! No one said it was bad!"

Osamu Dazai said in a surprised tone: "Could it be that there is a legendary secret recipe in it?...It tastes completely different from other stores."

"Ah, ah," the boss smiled even more happily, "how can you be so exaggerated! But come to think of it, boy, why are you soaked all over, I have a clean towel here, you can use it to wipe it off."

Osamu Dazai gave a "hmm", took the towel and rubbed it on his head in a random way: "Thank you, boss."

Soon there were new customers sitting over, and the boss's attention was diverted from them. Hatsusaki didn't say a word, and buried herself in eating udon noodles. Breathe a sigh of relief.

"...Ah Saki," he gazed at the dark sky above the lantern, and murmured as if talking to himself, "Happy holidays."

Hatsusaki: "..."

Hatsusaki didn't answer, she looked at the clear soup in the bowl in front of her, and waited until Osamu Dazai left her side, the residual temperature disappeared completely, then she said softly: "...Well, Happy New Year."

She ate the whole bowl of udon noodles in silence, and then took out her wallet. The boss said enthusiastically, "Two bowls of udon noodles cost [-] yen!"

Hatsusaki: "Well——"

……

…………

………………Ok?

Hatsusaki's hand holding the wallet suddenly stopped.

——Osamu Dazai, this time he didn't give me any money either.

Hatsusaki: "Although the wallet was washed away and I can't give you the money, I can understand but..."

Forget it, just credit him directly.

The system silently changed the debt: 615 yen to the debt: 1165 yen.

He looked thoughtful: so many coins, I'll remind Saki to buy a piggy bank later, it won't work if I put them in the drawer so casually.

After paying the bill, Hatsusaki didn't intend to continue shopping at the festival. She took out her mobile phone and looked at the map, and then walked straight to the house in one direction.

Although the festival had already started for a long time, it was actually not too late, so Hatsusaki stopped by to buy some food and went home, preparing to have supper when Nakahara Nakaya got home.

A 16-year-old teenager is really good at eating. Although sometimes Hatsusaki would be confused about how much energy Nakahara eats, but this does not prevent her from preparing supper in time.

But unexpectedly, when she got home, Zhong Yuanzhong had already returned. He seemed a little flustered for some reason, and moved his body to the side, as if trying to block something.

Hatsaki: "...? You're back, do you want something to eat?"

Zhongyuan Zhong also coughed dryly: "Mm, um, no, I've already eaten."

Hatsusaki felt uncomfortable being looked at by him, and asked confusedly, "What's wrong?"

"...today's Lantern Festival over there," Zhong Yuanzhong also took a deep breath, and tried to speak in his usual tone, "it seems quite lively, but it happens to be a little free tomorrow, so..."

He turned his face slightly, the tips of his ears seemed to be dyed red: "I bought a kimono, let's go shopping together tomorrow?"

Hatsusaki: "...you can, but the kimono..."

She has a complicated face.

Isn't it true that in Japan only elders like fathers and fiances and boyfriends can give kimonos?

...She said it was her older brother, but Chuya really secretly thought of him as his father? !
