How to raise Dazai gently

Although the six-year-old girl's dream of a mermaid princess was ruthlessly shattered by Osamu Dazai, the boat was about to reach the shore, and the flow of people began to move. 'American Island', the legendary island inhabited by mermaids, appeared before the eyes of tourists. .

This is an isolated island, the highest mountain is lush green, and the clear sea water surrounds the island. The beautiful scenery makes people linger and forget to return, which makes the argument that the mermaid lives on this island more convincing.

In order to participate in the Dugong Festival, many boats stopped at the port, and the people on the boats crowded towards the port. In order to prevent himself and Araki Kongshi from being squeezed away by the crowd, Osamu Dazai reached out and grabbed Araki Kongshi. wrist, pulling him towards you.

"Hold on to me," Osamu Dazai urged in a low voice. They interlocked their fingers, palms against palms, and fingertips rubbed against fingertips. They stepped onto the pontoon bridge and got off the boat with the flow of people. They have come to a place where the flow of people is not so dense, but the two still haven't let go.

"Start the investigation now?" Araki Kongyo turned his head and asked Osamu Dazai.

"Let's start with the neighborhood first." Dazai Osamu noticed that the eyes of the people around him were gradually gathering in this direction, he held Araki Kongyo's hand, and put it into the pocket of his windbreaker.

Although the sun by the sea looks blazing, once it is covered by the clouds in the sky, and when the sea breeze blows again, there is still a slight chill that makes people shrink their necks.

People with coats put on their coats one after another, stepped on the beach, and the soles of their shoes rubbed against the soft white sand, making a rustling sound.

There are traces of mermaids everywhere on this island. Mermaid pendants, cups, bookmarks, toys, pies, ballpoint pens, etc. are placed in the souvenir shop, and there are even hanging paintings.

Osamu Dazai scanned the crowded store, and found a middle-aged woman who was obviously the store manager, and smiled at her, "Excuse me, can I bother you——I want to take a moment of your time, Ma'am, to inquire about something .”

The store manager who was arranging the goods turned around, and after seeing Osamu Dazai's face clearly, he couldn't help arranging his clothes and hair, and then smiled: "Of course, my little brother, what do you want to ask?"

Osamu Dazai took out a photo of Tajima Takuro from his pocket and handed it to the clerk: "Have you seen this man before? Or do you have any impression of him?"

"Let me take a look..." The female store manager took the photo, carefully recalled it for a while, and smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, brother, I receive many customers every day, I really don't remember much... ..."

"Hey, is that so?" Osamu Dazai didn't care. He took back the photo and asked casually, "This is the first time my friend and I have come to this island. Do you have any better hotels to recommend?"

"Oh! If you want to stay in a better hotel, it has already been booked during the festival... How about you come to our homestay? It's very clean, and it's close to the sea. Whether you want to go It’s very convenient to play on the beach or go to the shrine!”

"Then please ma'am~" Osamu Dazai made the store manager happy with his face without hesitation, and also got a very favorable accommodation price.

Strangely, when Dazai Osamu and Araki Kongyo landed on the island, the originally cloudless sky was gradually piled up by clouds, which made the originally beautiful scenery a little smoggy and gloomy.

"Sure enough, Soragi is very suitable for kimonos." Osamu Dazai rested his chin in his hands, and stared at Araki Kongyo who had changed into kimono with admiration.

This set of kimono is a brand recommended by Koyo Ozaki before. Although the colors and patterns are slightly richer, in the past, this kind of overly gorgeous color can easily overwhelm the audience and overwhelm the person wearing the kimono, but wearing it on Araki Kongyo’s body, But it is quite suitable, the bright and smooth silk fabric is shining with shimmering colors even in dim light, which makes Araki's empty appearance more ethereal and beautiful.

The comb made of sandalwood had a faint fragrance. When the comb teeth slid through the black hair that was as smooth as silk, there was almost no resistance. Osamu Dazai easily combed from the root to the tip of the hair.

After combing Araki Kongyo's black hair, Osamu Dazai pulled it up for him. The black hair that was originally waist-length was coiled up behind his head little by little, and was then fixed by a hairpin.

Hairpins were purchased at a local product store before Osamu Dazai. They are hairpins made of shells and conch shells. These carapaces of various shapes form mother-of-pearl, which are embedded in Araki’s black hair. Shining bright colors.

Osamu Dazai withdrew his hand in satisfaction, looked at Araki Kongshi reflected in the mirror, and suddenly understood why on the way to Mermaid Island, the little girl would come to talk to him, and even asked Araki Kongshi if he was a mermaid.

At this moment, the skin of the black-haired boy is like snow, his lips are pale pink that is more gorgeous than the cherry blossoms in early spring, and his eyebrows are picturesque, but if you stare at his face, you will feel another kind of charming charm, just like in the Seeing the Siren's sailor crew at sea, they can't help but want to do anything for him, even at the cost of their own lives.

However, this strange charm only lasted for a short moment. Araki Kongshi turned his head and asked, "Where are we going next?"

Osamu Dazai lowered his eyes and showed a faint smile: "Go to the shrine and ask. After all, Tajima Takuro has come to this island several times after detours. I'm afraid it's not just to make extra money, or to beg for the blessing of the mermaid."

Obviously, if it is to earn extra money, then Tajima Takuro must be in the peak season every time he comes to the island, but the information received by Osamu Dazai shows that his visit to this island of mermaids is not just in the peak season. I have also landed on the island several times in the off-season when the waves are big.

The shrine is on the mountain in the center of the island, and the maiden of the shrine, Shimabukuro Kimie, received them.

"Ah, I know this person, he is Mr. Tajima Takuro, right?"

After all, he is a young man. After seeing the photo handed over by Osamu Dazai, Junhui Shimabukuro gave a positive answer after thinking about it for a while.

"He often comes to the island to help, and he is also a person who is particularly enthusiastic about mermaids. He will never miss every dugong festival."

When Osamu Dazai heard what Shimabukuro Junhui said, he keenly sensed that the clue they were looking for was close at hand: "Can I ask, did he do anything every time he came to the island? Or Do you know anyone who knows these things?"

"Hmm..." Shimabukuro Junhui tried hard to think back, and then shook his head regretfully: "Sorry, I don't know very well, but maybe you can ask Mr. Ebihara, his family runs fishing boats, maybe he knows What."

While Osamu Dazai was talking with Kimie Shimabukuro, Araki Kongyo looked around the spacious shrine. There were many people praying and asking for lots, and they were talking about the upcoming festival tonight. He covered his nose with his hands.

"It's fishy."

"Hey, isn't this Dazai-san and Araki-san? What a coincidence, did you come to American Island to participate in the celebration?"

Familiar voices came from behind them. Looking back, they turned out to be Kogoro Mori, Ran Mori and Conan, but this time there was a dark-skinned boy and a girl with ponytails in the team.

Mao Lilan happily greeted Araki Kongshi and Dazai Osamu, and introduced them to the dark-skinned boy Hattori Heiji and the ponytail girl Toyama Kazuha. They came to this mermaid island this time at the invitation of Hattori Heiji , to investigate the incident.

"But I didn't expect to meet the two of you here! It's really fate!" Mao Lilan showed a bright smile.

Osamu Dazai glanced at Conan who was very nervous for some reason. He had no intention of contacting this group of people, and he prevaricated their inquiries with a flawless smile.

"Hey, Kudo, you don't look right, are you jealous?" Hattori Heiji smiled teasingly, and put his elbow on Conan's chest.

"Are you an idiot, who is jealous!" Conan twitched his lips and glared at Hattori Heiji.

"Don't you think those two people are strange?" Conan looked at Araki Kongyo and Dazai Osamu.

"What's so strange? Ah, if it's about the unexpected beauty of the black-haired one, it's indeed quite strange."

Hattori Heiji laughed.

Conan rolled his eyes: "I don't know what to say to you, but when I first met that Dazai, he gave me the impression that he was very similar to gin. Later, I observed him, and he may be someone from Yokohama. An important figure in the Mafia."

Speaking of this, Hattori Heiji's expression became serious: "Are you sure? Then it's impossible for them to come to this island just for tourism, right?"

"I just saw that Mr. Dazai put a photo back in his pocket, probably looking for someone."

It's a pity that Conan's eyesight is not good enough. If he could see the photos, he might be able to figure out what Dazai Osamu and Araki Kongyo were looking for.

"Your curiosity is really amazing." Hattori Heiji rubbed Conan's head, "If they are really from the Mafia, I suggest not to get too close—don't forget that your current identity is not pure elementary school student, in case something happens..."

While the two of them were talking, Yuan Shan, Ye and Mao Lilan greeted each other: "Heiji, Conan, let's go, let's go to the celebration together!"

Araki Kongyo and Dazai Osamu stood at the dugong celebration, watching the miko Shimabukuro Kimie award the three magic-breaking arrows to the lucky ones who won the number plates. The burning torches illuminated the venue and also let the people behind Mermaid Waterfall looked a little dark.

"It's a pity that I didn't get the Demon-Breaking Arrow, otherwise it could be used as a talisman for you, Kokushi." Osamu Dazai sighed.

"Her Demon-Breaking Arrow has no power, even if it hits it, it's useless." Araki Kongyo comforted him.

Osamu Dazai was slightly stunned, and was about to return to Araki Kongshi, when the fireworks rose into the sky, illuminating the night sky.

He frowned, and raised his eyes to look at the mermaid waterfall that kept pouring down—a black shadow was like a mermaid going upstream, swaying in the endlessly flowing waterfall.
