[Comprehensive] The name of the examiner is Oda Saku

Stairs lead down to the bar.Oda Saku shook the glass, the sound of the ice ball hitting the glass was particularly abrupt in the quiet and dim bar.

Because it was afternoon, there was no one else in the bar except himself and the store manager. Odasaku supported the counter with one hand, and felt a little drowsy under the soothing music.

Originally, it was just passing by by chance—or for some reason, the legs seemed to have their own consciousness, and they involuntarily brought him here.

Odasaku originally came out to find Rikai.

He met the girl in the park and explained the current situation. Q has been taken back by the port mafia, and a large part of the time retrograde army has also been wiped out on the spot.

After passing through the park, Mori Ogai should obediently stay in the headquarters building whose walls cannot be destroyed even with anti-tank guns. The armed detective agency will then block the coastline with the military and police.

For the rest, as long as the Ability Secret Service Division is optimistic about the airspace and there are no more bomb attacks like the last time, the time retrograde army will have little chance to interfere with history.

Afterwards, although it will be a big event of a decisive battle with the combination, it is the feat that the heroes of this era will make. History has returned to the correct track, and it will go on as it should have been.As the god judges of the government of time, their mission is basically over here.

"I understand, I have been relying on you all this time, please leave the next thing to me. We will search for traces of the retrograde army while preventing them from counterattacking."

Odasaku: "I'll help too."

"No, Mr. Oda, please go to rest as soon as possible. You haven't slept much in the past few days. Here—" Li Huiyi nodded the skin under her eyes, and said: "I already have dark circles."

"Is there?" Odasaku touched his face, but didn't feel any difference.

"Yes." Li Huiyi nodded solemnly, then turned to look at an apartment not far from the park, showing a faint smile: "Actually, my home is nearby."

The girl said: "In about forty years, I will be born here. The other companions are also like this. This is our city, so please rest assured that I will not allow anyone to destroy Yokohama."

...So Odasaku was driven away like this.

It's just a rest, but Odasaku doesn't really feel tired.The swords were more or less wounded after last night's battle, and were ordered by Oda Tsukuru to rest in the hotel, so now he is alone walking on the streets of Yokohama——and somehow, he came to here.

"Lupin's Bar." Odasaku stopped under the inconspicuous signboard, and the white light sign was shining softly even in sunny days. Odasaku looked up at the signboard and felt a little unbelievable.

"It's still open."

Odasaku pushed open the door of the bar, walked down the stairs, and met the manager who was standing at the counter wiping wine glasses.

"...Ahhh, it's been a long time since I saw you." The gully carved by time on the manager's face was deeper than that of four years ago. The thick voice asked: "Do you still want distilled wine today?"

"...Thank you." Oda Saku pulled out the chair and sat down quietly in front of the bar. The glass wine glass reflected the light, and one's thoughts seemed to be pulled at will along with these scattered halos.

Oda Saku was thinking, but he couldn't remember what he was thinking, until the door was opened again, and the wind from the outside world poured into this warm, quiet and dim bar like a den. The young man walked down the stairs step by step.

"Ah! Oda Tsukuru." Dazai Osamu showed a signature smile and greeted happily: "You are indeed here."

"Why really?" Oda Saku thought for a while and asked.

"I came here because I thought I could meet Odasaku here, and then you are really here, Odasaku." Osamu Dazai naturally sat down beside Odasaku, and Odasaku sucked Nose, smelled a faint smell of disinfectant only in the hospital.

"... Ango." When Oda Saku opened his mouth, he was surprised.He didn't mean to mention that coming here made Dazai unhappy, but after thinking about it, he continued: "Angota, how are you?"

"Well, was it discovered?" Dazai Osamu touched his chin and asked in a bad tone: "But if you really care about it, why don't you go and see it yourself?"

"Ango is an intelligence officer of the Secret Service, but the information of the time government should be kept as secret as possible." Even if he knows that even if he goes to Ango, he will not leak his affairs, but there is no guarantee that others will not, It would be bad if it affected Pear Ei and the others.

"Odasaku you..." Osamu Dazai curled his lips and dragged out his voice in dissatisfaction.He stared at Oda Tsukuru, and after a while he sighed helplessly, "He's still a good guy no matter what."

"Don't worry, with Dr. Xie Ye's treatment, I guarantee that he will be alive and kicking immediately." Osamu Dazai grumbled this sentence reluctantly, turned his face and snapped his fingers at the store manager, and said, "Have a drink." Beer, if you have any, please add more detergent, and by the way, I want another canned crab meat and a hard tofu."

Canned crab meat is what Dazai often eats, but——

"Did this store serve hard tofu before?" Oda Saku asked.

"Well, it's the tofu mentioned last time." Osamu Dazai lay on the countertop of the bar, looked at the dim lights and shadows and said softly, "I made it."

Odasaku's heart constricted.

He remembered that he had heard Osamu Dazai talk about his failed suicide experience in this store.He believed in Dazai's statement that "because he wanted to kill himself with tofu, he specially researched a method to harden tofu, and found that it was super delicious when cut into slices and dipped in soy sauce", but he just walked into the bar and heard this Ango Sakaguchi complained that he was super incapable of complaining.

Ah, and what did he say about it then?

It seems to be - give me a try next time.

Odasaku still remembered Dazai's expression when he spoke, but—

"I'm sorry." Oda said.

"Huh?" Osamu Dazai snorted and asked, "What's the reason this time?"

"I'm sorry for what I said at that time."

Oda Saku himself couldn't understand why he never intervened in those thorns called loneliness that deeply hurt Osamu Dazai, but in the end he could say those sharp and arrogant words with a cheeky face.

——To say that there is nothing in this world that can fill Dazai's loneliness.No matter how he struggles between life and death, light and darkness, there is no reason to support Dazai's life.Since this loneliness cannot be filled no matter what, it is better to go to the side of light and justice than the darkness full of violence and desire.

Although he said that because he would never have a chance if he didn't say it again, since the moment he regained consciousness in the spaceship of the Government of Time, Oda Saku began to regret it.

He wishfully hoped that Dazai would be a good person.Since there is no difference between good and bad, it is easier to be recognized by society as a good person.He didn't want Dazai to suffer from darkness and perdition again, but the fact is that he left Dazai on the path of Yu Yu walking alone.

Regarding the friend's last request, Oda Saku knew that Dazai would do it no matter what, but living for the wishes of others was too cruel and unfair to Dazai.

"...I'm sorry, maybe it's too late to apologize now, but I still want to take back what I said at the time." Oda Saku put aside the flashing and messy thoughts, looked into Dazai Osamu's eyes, and said slowly: "Whether you save people Whether it is justice or darkness, Dazai, you don’t need to bear other people’s expectations, until you find a reason worth living, you only need to do it in a way you feel comfortable with.”

- So, don't be unhappy.

Although Dazai always had a happy smile on his face, Oda Saku knew that he was not happy.

What the young man sees is a world that is farther and farther than anyone else's and nothingness, and all his attachments and madness are captured by his eyes. Perhaps for Dazai, life is more like experiencing a decaying nightmare. His shackles made him feel pain all the time.

"An easy way?" Osamu Dazai stroked the wall of the beer glass with his fingers, lowered his eyes, and said softly, "Then what if I say I want to jump off the roof of the Mafia headquarters building?"

I don't know if the alcohol played a role, but Osamu Dazai's smile seemed to be covered with mist.Odasaku raised his head, and was about to say something when Osamu Dazai suddenly stood up.

"Accompany me to a place." Osamu Dazai said.

"Where are you going?"

"Just go."

Osamu Dazai stretched his bones until they creaked, narrowed his eyes and tilted his head at Odasaku.

When they walked out of the bar, the sun had already tilted to the west, and Osamu Dazai walked briskly in front. They walked along the streets of Yokohama up to the lush hills, and then stopped in front of a row of white tombstones. Whose name is engraved, but there is a bouquet of white flowers in front of each tombstone, and it looks like someone has been here not long ago.Odasaku walked up and stopped for a moment in front of each tombstone.

"Kousuke, Katsuki, Yu, Shinji, Sakura." Odasaku clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and whispered, "I'm here to see you."

Behind him, Osamu Dazai looked at his friend's back and said in a calm tone, "Odasaku."

"I told you at that time that you should have something to rely on and look forward to something good that might happen in the future...Frankly speaking, I lied to you at the time."

"I know." Odasaku turned his head, he walked to Dazai Osamu, and faced the tombstone with him.

"But I've changed my mind now." Osamu Dazai laughed: "I think what I said may be right. It's a good thing to see Odasaku again."

"Me too, meeting Dazai is also the best thing in my life." Odasaku looked at the vast and magnificent calm sea in the distance under the setting sun, and said: "Thank you, Dazai. This is really a good place. "

"So are you going to say goodbye here? All this is short like a hallucination." Osamu Dazai smiled slightly, but his eyes were full of loneliness.He said to himself: "Oda Tsukuru, what should I live on next?"

"Dazai," Oda Saku shook his head: "I remember Ango said that if the times change one day, we will all have a more free position, and we can walk in the sun without fear and do what we want It would be nice to have a drink together at that time."

Odasaku stared at Dazai intently, his eyes gentle and calm.He said affirmatively: "Although the three of us may not be able to drink together again, that era——exists."

The huge white whale has already broken through the clouds. At this time, Nakajima Atsushi and Akutagawa Ryunosuke should be fighting fiercely with the enemy. Odasaku raised his head and looked at the sky that was burned red by the setting sun, and said to Dazai: "Let's go, they should all I'm waiting for you."

Osamu Dazai didn't move, the sea breeze blowing over the hills blew the windbreakers of the two of them behind them.Odasaku's original clothes have disappeared since they were replaced. He has been wearing Dazai's clothes for the past few days. I don't know if it is a coincidence that Dazai is wearing the sand-colored one he wore when he was killed four years ago today. The coat, it seems that time has overlapped at this moment.

"Clothes." Odasaku said without restraint.

"——What?" Osamu Dazai tilted his head, making a gesture of listening.

"When I met you, you were probably only in your teens. Although you are a high-ranking quasi-cadre adult, you are still a child no matter how you look at it." Oda Saku pointed to Dazai and smiled soothingly: "But Now, the clothes fit well."
