Are you with Dazai today?

Is it really okay?

Although Dr. Mori reassured him again and again, he still felt uneasy.

There is no one in the long-lost family, neither Dr. Mori nor Dazai, only him.

Anyway, I can't sit still at home, so I just go out for a stroll.

Shiinagawa changed into clothes suitable for activities and pulled up the hood to cover her face.

Today is a sunny day.

Shiinagawa walked along the edge of Yokohama's seaside and the ground. He looked left and right to make sure no one was nearby and jumped off the edge and fell into the sea.

This is not the sea he knows.

Even on the surface where the sun can shine, it shouldn't be so gentle.

Shiinagawa let himself fall, and from his angle, he could see the beautiful blue color that was transparent and clear due to the sunlight.

Gumbling.

Shiinagawa closed her eyes.

It continued to fall, and soon touched the bottom layer. This position is still full of light. This is an inevitable result. The water level near the city will not be particularly deep.

Shiinagawa felt a little bored, he planned to float up and go back quickly, so that the two people who came back could have a meal.

At this moment, he seemed to hear some small voices, which were not in his usual language, but strangely, he could understand their meaning.

You are familiar with the 'sea' because you are loved by the sea and cursed by the sea, so you can all breathe in the sea.

This is our destination, our end and our beginning

Shiinagawa:!

He opened his eyes suddenly, the scene in front of him has not changed, the sun is still bright, the blue is still beautiful, it looks peaceful and safe.

wrong!

Something is wrong!

Shiinagawa's sixth sense was beating wildly, every cell was warning him to be careful of the coming danger.

Shiinagawa looked down, then his pupils shrank.

what is that?

He's sure and sure he's at the bottom, but what now?

It was pitch black under him, and he couldn't see the bottom.

It was just pitch black, and Shiinagawa thought he shouldn't be able to see it, but he did.

He existed there for hundreds of years, thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, and hundreds of millions of years.

Time goes by, time changes, all things wither and rebirth, life is changing, the planet is changing, the universe is changing, the law is changing, only He is eternal.

He is the sun, the moonlight, the billions of stars, the gods, the greatness, and the most enduring mystery. He writhes, stands still, laughs and weeps.

He noticed you, and He looked at you, looking at you through a distance of six trillion eight thousand six hundred and twenty forty-three thousand one hundred and seventy-seven light years.

Shiinagawa didn't know what he was doing now, his consciousness seemed to be far away from his body, he couldn't think or do anything.

Shiinagawa's body was shaking.

Am I scared?

he asked himself.

No, I think it's because of excitement.

The blood in the body is boiling, rolling, clamoring to collide, fight, fight, fight with hands, use legs if you don't have hands, use life if you don't even have legs.

Tell Him who is the stronger one.

Ah, this is it, this is the sea I know, I kill you or you tear me apart, as we always do.

Shiinagawa wants to take the initiative to touch the darkness, there is no difficulty in that, as long as he moves closer, it will be much easier than taking care of Dazai.

... Dazai?

Shiinagawa shuddered, and suddenly stretched out the hand that was about to touch the darkness, his consciousness returned to his body, and his blood calmed down.

Then he stopped looking at the darkness, turned his head and floated up quickly.

The closer he was to the surface of the sea, the weaker the cold feeling just now, and then he finally surfaced, staring at Dazai who was squatting on the stone steps.

Osamu Dazai: ...

Shiinagawa: ...

Shiinagawa tilts her head

"Hi?"

"Hey... that's not it! What, what's going on, is Shiina committing suicide by jumping into the sea? This is plagiarizing my idea!"

"I didn't commit suicide. I can breathe in the sea, so it doesn't matter at all. And jumping into the sea to commit suicide is not Dazai's idea. Dazai is also plagiarizing."

Dazai fainted when he heard this.

"Well, that's what you said."

It's not good to stay in the water all the time, so Shiinagawa put one hand on the stone steps and rolled up with a little force.

"How about it?"

"you guess."

It seems that Dazai was not injured. Dr. Mori kept his promise and returned a complete Dazai.

But Dazai didn't seem very happy, Shiinagawa's intuition told him so.

The discomfort just now disappeared completely, as if everything that happened just now was my own hallucination.

What the hell is that?And what happened to my uncontrollable state just now?

Shiinagawa doesn't want to think about such questions now, they are not important.

He thought he should hug Dazai, which he did.

Shiinagawa hugged Dazai Osamu carefully, and patted him on the back like coaxing a child.

"Uh?"

Osamu Dazai seemed to be choking, with a weird expression, and his body gradually became stiff.

"It was said on TV before that hugging can make people feel better. Are you in a better mood now?"

"No! And you are covered with water, it doesn't make me wet too."

"Can you stop being like this all the time!"

Dazai is very bad at dealing with straightforward kindness,

Shiinagawa:?

Always like this... what is it?

Osamu Dazai's movements were particularly exaggerated, trying to break free from this embrace.

From Shiinagawa's point of view, Dazai's movements are so large that it really looks like he is trying to break free, but the actual feedback is like being lightly touched by a ball of cotton.

I can't feel the sincerity of breaking free at all.

Shiinagawa himself judged that Dazai wanted to continue the hug, so he didn't let go.

"Did someone bully you?"

Osamu Dazai gradually calmed down and passively accepted the hug.

"It's Mr. Sen."

"Eh?"

It's really been completely put together, that old fox.

"The one who lied to you was not bullied."

A coat fell on Shiinagawa's head, and a familiar voice came.

"Isn't Shiina-kun soaked through, it would be bad if he caught a cold."

Shiinagawa raised his head and saw Dr. Mori with a smile on his face. He seemed to be in a good mood.

Shiinagawa blinked.

"Doctor Sen."

There was a very faint smell of blood, if it wasn't for the fact that he was temporarily particularly sensitive because of the kind of thing he experienced just now, he might have ignored it.

It wasn't Dr. Mori's blood, and Dazai wasn't injured either.

"I won't be a doctor anymore, Shiina-kun."

what does that mean.

"I, the doctor, will be the new leader of Hong Kong gangsters in the future."

what.

It turned out to be the case.

"The former leader passed on the position to me."

That, you're lying, right? It smells like blood.

"However, there will definitely be many people who are not convinced, and there will definitely be a lot of trouble in the future."

Saying that, Mori Ogai sighed, and Osamu Dazai looked away.

"It's really distressing. I'm not good at fighting."

Just at this time, a cloud came to cover the sun, making Mori Ogai's whole body under the shadow.

"But if there is Shiina-kun, everything will be different. After all, Shiina-kun is very strong."

He reached out his hand to Shiinagawa, just as he did in Tone Island.

"Will Shiina-kun join Hong Kong Black?"
