Ayu didn't understand.

But he will accept fists from others, wanton abuse, unreasonable orders, or unreasonable kindness, sudden luck, and unreasonable gifts. Since it does not endanger life, he will accept them all. Meaning, meaningless, but this is how life should be.

Just like when I was a child.

There was nothing in Ayu's empty pupils, he just stood there like that, he didn't understand anything, he didn't care about anything.

...doesn't matter.

As Ayu thought about it, the smiling expression of Ema slapping his head, Naomi holding his arm and acting coquettishly flashed in his mind... and Tanizaki, the president, Fujioka, and bandaging him that day Wound female.

He closed his eyes.

…Pointless.

"Meow~" The three-color cat obediently staying at home rubbed against Ayu's trousers, and circled him continuously.

Well, and cats.

Ayu leaned over and picked it up, and followed its smooth fur one by one.

Ayu closed his eyes and went to sleep.

--------

"Bitch! Brat! Don't move!"

The strong man pulled and punched the skinny boy, then the woman,

"And you bitch/woman! Go earn money for me!"

Furious men, screaming women, silent children.

Day after day, night after night, there will always be such a farce in this family.

……

The bruised and bruised child sat slumped on the corner of the street.

It was a quiet night, without cicadas, dogs barking, and noisy human voices.

Like the night when God created the world.

The electric pole stands beside the child without emotion, and the iron cross-arms hanging on the electric pole also stare at the world coldly. They form a cross of tolerance and compassion.

The child just sat there with his head bowed, his purple face, and his mouth slightly open. He didn't understand, but there was no need to understand.

What is meaningless, it is meaningless to understand, it is meaningless to care, it is meaningless to beg for mercy.

He just sits there.

He just grew up in such a family.

Unnecessary thoughts, unnecessary emotions, even abandoning humanity, this is the trick to survive in the cruel world.

But this evening was a little different.

A man with short silver hair stopped in front of the child.

The man was wearing white short sleeves and trousers, with a cigarette in his mouth and a wooden suitcase on his back.

Looking at the child's worn clothes and exposed bruised skin, he let out a breath slowly with a cigarette in his mouth.

The passing man then stopped in front of the child:

"Hello."

The child didn't move.

A breeze blew through the man's short hair, revealing the hollowness of his left eye.

"Did you know that there are a group of creatures that are uniquely different from common animals and plants in our world—[worms have their own way of existence, and sometimes we see them flying in the night sky and becoming displaced."

The child raised his head slightly.

"Although they may not feel us, they just exist and live unconsciously, and they never get an answer when talking to them, just an indifferent existence. It may be endless darkness at first, when we put the second eyelid When closed, you can even hear the crackling and clear sound of the darkness slowly invading."

The child's eyes were still dark.

"But as long as you wait, you will see countless tiny creatures floating by your side, translucent bodies, and the light that gathers little by little, moon-white and warm. Occasionally, a small group of light flies straight into the black void, Hovering, twinkling and disappearing, stars like the moonlight. Although even if you stretch out your hand, you can't catch anything."

The silver-haired man knelt on one knee and looked at the child:

"Don't be blinded by sorrow and pain, all living things exist only by the means by which they exist."

"Nobody's wrong, we're all just trying to survive. So you survive."

It might be a starry night, maybe.

……

Screams, roars, beatings, cries, wild laughter, the sound of blades "thumping" into flesh and blood, the dull sound of chairs falling to the ground...

After the chaos, everything died down.

The children in the corner were silent.

……

"Mom, what's my name?"

The thin child asks the withered woman,

"...Mom, I'm hungry."

"Mother……"

The woman's chapped lips seemed to be opening and closing, her feet were dangling slightly, and her long hair would break if she pulled it lightly, but she just stared at those bloodshot eyes and stared in that direction——

In that direction, there was a ferocious man lying in a pool of dried up blood.

……

"Your father's name is You XX, and your mother's name is You OO, right?"

The police officer pinching his nose looked at the scrawny child with some fear. He looked at the household registration book tremblingly. The child did not have any identification documents.

"Do you know your name?"

"...Ayu, my name is Ayu."

……

The child was urged to leave the house.

"It's horrible," whispered neighbors gathered around the police car, "that kid, who has been in the house where his parents died for almost a month." "My God, I can't bear the smell I can't forget it now."

"This kid has no humanity at all, right?" "Who says no, I've seen him before, his eyes are dark and evil." "Let me say..."

It's nothing.

No one is wrong.

He wants to live.

The child walked past these people without turning their eyes.

----------

The sun shines through the windows,

Ayu opened his eyes,

Its daybreak.

……

Enter the classroom before the hurried bell rings, sit quietly on the seat, sit and wait until the school bell rings, then pick up the schoolbag and leave.

Almost every day during school was repeated like this, there was no problem, the penetration of the Tanizaki brothers and sisters was the abnormality in Ayu's life.

But this abnormality disappeared suddenly without any warning.

At lunch time, Ayu returned the cleaned lunch box to Class A of the third grade, but Naomi's seat was empty.

"Naomi Tanizaki, I'm sorry I don't understand, and I can't get through the phone," said the homeroom teacher of Class A of the third grade, a kind but careless young woman. She looked at Ayu shyly, "Maybe something happened at home. According to the situation, it seems that I will ask for leave from time to time."

In a spacious and tidy classroom, surrounded by laughing and energetic middle school students, the teacher in front of him is also smiling cheerfully, and the clean and bright sky is outside the window.

But Ayu seemed to have returned to his empty house, where there was nothing but him.

"Nothing," he said, bowed to the teacher, and left.

It's a strange child.The teacher couldn't figure it out, so he had to turn his attention to the vigorous children in the class, lamenting the beauty of youth, and hoped that Naomi could return to school as soon as possible and study hard.

But for three days in a row, the Tanizaki brothers and sisters did not appear in front of Ayu.Going to school alone, eating alone, and going home alone, Ayu's life is very normal.

Rain is coming.

Visible to the naked eye, the arrogance of Yamada and others began to grow.

"Pa", Yamada slapped Ayu on the head, "I'm still pretending here, you wait for me after school today." Yamada put down the harsh words, felt perfect, and walked back to his seat proudly.

Boss, your legs are still shaking.One of the younger brothers silently complained in his heart.

Ayu turned his head back from the beating, still sat on the seat, holding the unopened bread, and then calmly tore open and chewed.

He has been sitting in his seat, his black hair almost covering his eyes, and he has no expression.

Everything is like this step by step, class, get out of class, class, the teacher in the Mediterranean is talking on the podium, and the students with blurred faces are laughing and playing under the podium, and Ayu belongs to his own world.

It's just that Yamada, who was sitting in the last row of the class, suddenly felt a cold, the weather is going to cool down?He thought very optimistically that the world would be much better without those brothers and sisters.

The melodious bell for the end of get out of class rang, and the students in the seats cheered immediately, and rushed out of the classroom one by one, regardless of Mediterranean's ugly face.

Ayu got up, took out the dried fish, and walked out of the classroom.

Not interesting.

……

"Is it really okay?" The Tanizaki brothers and sisters who were supposed to be missing are hiding on the rooftop opposite Yoide High School, spying on Ayu's every move with military-grade binoculars, Naomi beat Tanizaki angrily, "How did he react None, so angry."

Tanizaki, who worked hard and made a vent, showed a wry smile but a trusting expression.

Kunikida's serious voice came from the headsets they were wearing: "During the mission, don't be distracted."

Yes, for the sake of the president's life-long happiness, everyone in the conference room, who was so idle and moldy and rusty, discussed and decided to conduct an entry test for Ayu boy in advance. The test content was whether Ayu would look for the "missing" Tanizaki brothers and sisters, and in what way.

As for whether Ayu himself has the idea of ​​joining the detective agency, they are absolutely confident in breaking it back.

"Before Ayu boy has no idea of ​​looking for it, you don't want to show up for now. As for the missed lessons, I will make up for Naomi later." The wise Kunikida pushed his glasses and made a final decision.

Obviously because the weather has been calm recently, everyone who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic discussed such a bad idea, and the laborious and offending errands were logically handed over to him and Naomi who were most familiar with Ayu.

Tanizaki rubbed his head, always wondering what amazing move Ayu would make.

However, reality always hits hard in unexpected ways.

The next moment, Tanizaki couldn't help staring his eyes out of their sockets, his hands holding the binoculars trembled, and a strange "ho ho ho" sound came out of his throat: "Ah, that, that one on the podium, is Mr. Dazai! ?”

"What!" Kunikida's scream came from the headset.

……

"Hey, everyone, I'm Osamu Dazai."

With a long sand-colored coat, disheveled black hair, a thin body with his back to the blackboard, and a meaningful smile on his face.

As a result, Yang Chu, Class C of the first grade of high school, ushered in the biggest crisis in history.
