How to raise Dazai gently

Perhaps unlocking has become an inherent skill of Osamu Dazai. It took a few hours for Osamu Dazai to finally try out the password.

Dazai Osamu looked at the password set by Kudo Yusaku, and let out a breath of foul air—is he worthy of being an internationally famous reasoning writer?The password set was really complicated, but he finally unlocked the password.

Dazai Osamu was not in a hurry to take away the contents of the safe, but put on the goggles that could block the direct line of sight out of caution.

This safe is very waterproof. Even if it is sunk into the sea and placed in the cabin by fishermen to accept the erosion of fish and sea water every day, it is still dry and clean.

Inside the safe are several randomly stacked paintings. It can be seen that Yusaku Kudo didn't organize them at all, but hurriedly stuffed them into the safe, which can be seen from the creases.

Osamu Dazai took a deep breath, put on light gloves, and took the paintings out of the safe.

There are probably dozens of these paintings. Osamu Dazai focused his eyes on the upper right corner of the painting, covering the picture with his hand, trying not to let his vision fall directly on the content.

Then he tried to divert his eyes and the hand that blocked the content of the picture, and slowly moved his eyes to some of the colors. Kudo Shinichi's painting was an oil painting, and the uneven texture of the condensed paint was condensed on the white paper like waves , it can be seen that the strokes are frenzied and messy.

Osamu Dazai looked at it for a while, but he didn't feel any discomfort, so he continued to move his hand, making the content of the whole painting vividly before his eyes.

Kudo Shinichi painted the starry sky. When he saw the starry sky at first glance, Dazai Osamu’s heart speeded up, as if he fell into the vast universe for a moment, and felt his own insignificance, but this illusion was fleeting. , Osamu Dazai raised his eyebrows, and quickly took out the next painting to admire.

What he expected was not wrong. These paintings drawn by Kudo Shinichi would have a mental impact on ordinary humans, causing Kudo Yusaku to throw them into the sea, but the impact on Osamu Dazai was not great, and he didn't know that Is it because he is a person with supernatural powers, or because of [Disqualification in the World].

However, Osamu Dazai did not dwell on this issue for too long. He quickly flipped through these paintings. Among these dozens of paintings, he could clearly feel the rapid progress of Kudo Shinichi in painting. Maybe there is only a simple foundation, but the things drawn unconsciously can already make laymen stop for a while.

If some mediocre artists see it, they may be willing to pay a high price to exchange with Kudo Shinichi.

Osamu Dazai's hand didn't stop until he found a painting.

This painting is also a starry sky, but unlike other paintings that occupy most of the white paper, the starry sky is enclosed in a pair of eyes, as if something is passing through the eyes of the starry sky, without sadness or joy. It's like overlooking the bustling world.

Osamu Dazai didn't speak, and even at this moment he didn't notice that his breathing and thinking had paused for a short time - he had seen these eyes before, on Araki Kongyo's body.

Osamu Dazai gently placed the stack of paintings on the table, closed his eyes, and took a short rest from the slightly hot eyes after looking at the paintings.

"It's a bit difficult to deal with now... How can I defeat a guy who can make even gods fall in love..."

Araki Kongshi is not a human being, nor even a "god" artificially created in the Central Plains, but an existence that actually exists and is summoned by human beings from beyond the sky to this world.

Osamu Dazai leaned his head on the back of the chair, stared blankly for a while, then stuffed the paintings back into the safe and locked it again.

Although he got the answer he wanted, he had more questions.

The "White Moonlight" that can make even the "gods" fall in love, and even stay in this world and try hard to find, might be the kind of character who is gentle and considerate, has a firm will, and fights for it to the end—and these qualities Osamu Dazai thought that he had nothing to do with himself.

The worst thing is that that 'Shiro Moonlight' might be dead, that's why Araki Koyo looked at Osamu Dazai with that shaken eyes.

It seems that 'White Moonlight' will be a formidable opponent, Osamu Dazai is thinking about whether he should change his mind, let him focus on himself and 'White Moonlight' instead of making Araki Koyo realize the difference between himself and 'White Moonlight' Perhaps the "same" of Bai Yueguang's effect will be better?

"Let's go find Kongshi later."

The leader Osamu Dazai lurks in Osamu Dazai's sea of ​​consciousness. Although the cohabitant is not aware of his own existence, he can still perceive the world through Osamu Dazai's senses when he is awake. Therefore, he is not involved in this investigation. Not missed.

The origin of Araki Kongshi is not simple. Of course the leader Osamu Dazai knew it, but at the time when he was in a desperate situation, a straw that could hold him appeared, and the leader Dazai Osamu would also firmly grasp it, not to mention Araki Kongshi still so special,

Of course, he also guessed the origin of Araki Kongshi, but the leader Dazai Osamu never thought that his lover would be an existence from outside the sky.

And when the leader Osamu Dazai heard his young self muttering, his soul moved in the sea of ​​consciousness, and he even had another thought——Araki Kongyo still remembers himself!Since he is a god, perhaps it is his handwriting that his soul was reborn into his youthful self!

The leader Osamu Dazai believed without hesitation that the "white moonlight" that the boy Dazai said was referring to himself.

The mass of white translucent soul really started to swim up, down, left, and right in the sea of ​​consciousness like a jellyfish, but the leader, Osamu Dazai, was happy for a while, but then remembered that he was just a borrower of this body, and returned The lost soul in the world, if the young Osamu Dazai hadn't fallen asleep, he wouldn't be able to control his body at all.

Thinking of this, the leader Osamu Dazai felt that his soul was eroded by a cold, and the white translucent soul also changed color at this moment, turning into a blue jellyfish curled up in a ball.

But deep in his heart, a voice came out: Anyway, they are all Dazai rulers, why not just occupy this body?

When he realized his own thoughts, the leader Osamu Dazai was also taken aback. He had never been attached to his own life. After losing Araki Kongyo, the little soul he had left completely got rid of his nostalgia for the world. , After waiting for the final obsession to be achieved, the leader Osamu Dazai can be said to be impatient to step on the roof, and then jumped down from the top floor.

Although what is waiting for him is not the eternal sleep as expected, but as long as the leader Dazai is willing, he can always sleep in the depths of the young Dazai's sea of ​​consciousness, until the boy's own old age and death, I am afraid that he will not know his body Another resident lived there.

But Araki Kongyo appeared, and his appearance gave the leader Dazai a glimmer of hope, so he emerged from the sea of ​​consciousness more actively than in previous years, and now, after the leader Dazai learned that Araki Kongyo still remembered When he was alone, his already desolate heart was rekindled with ambition.

and jealousy.

The leader Osamu Dazai couldn't restrain his jealousy, especially when he saw his young self acting like a baby next to Araki Kongyo, or happily choosing gifts for Araki Kongyo, the cold and dark water of jealousy wrapped around his body In terms of soul, the leader Dazai Osamu felt tormented.

Just this level of intimacy makes the leader Osamu Dazai feel painful, so if the young Osamu Dazai really succeeded in pursuing Araki Kongshi-the leader Osamu Dazai didn't want to think about this situation, but he had to admit, This kind of possibility does exist - then is he still bound in this body, watching his former lover and another self fall in love with each other?

Osamu Dazai, who was once the leader of the port mafia, is naturally different from his young and immature self. Although they are both the same soul, their different experiences have created their different personalities and different means of achieving their goals.

If the young Osamu Dazai would choose a more straightforward method, then the leader Osamu Dazai would choose a more radical method with a greater chance of winning.

The leader Osamu Dazai spends almost every night on the surface of the sea of ​​consciousness, exercising his ability to manipulate the body, and he also discovered that as his proficiency increases, the young himself who sleeps at night will not be woken up Come on, I won't even remember what I did that night.

But Dazai Osamu is Dazai Osamu after all, just in case, the leader Dazai Osamu did not intend to expose the risk to find Araki Kongshi until he was able to completely control this body.

One reason is that he doesn't want his sweetheart to see his embarrassment, but he doesn't want Araki Kongyo to see his despicable side, which is another reason.

Although Osamu Dazai knew that Araki Kuyo probably wouldn't care, but he did, probably because of the consideration of gains and losses in love.

And Araki Kongyo didn't notice something wrong with Osamu Dazai. After all, Osamu Dazai didn't inherit the power spores. Although he was still very special to Osamu Dazai, when he didn't even notice, he didn't have the most affection for Osamu Dazai. Started paying attention.

After all, Araki Kongshi is a "god". He came to this narrow world only for his descendants, and reversing the time is also to save the cubs. His descendants are gone—it can't be said that he is gone, it can only be said that he has not inherited his own power.

In order to solve his own confusion, Araki Kongshi also went to see the famous Ship of Theseus. During this period of living in human society, he also realized that he has different concepts from human beings.

For human beings, power is only a part of them. Apart from memory, appearance and personality, there are many factors that determine them. Now Araki Kongyo has countless similarities with Osamu Dazai, but he has not inherited power. The boy Dazai Osamu, can really deny with such certainty that this is not the cub that he spent so much time raising before, and managed to get a little fatter?

Thinking of this, even Araki Kongshi, whose thinking is different from that of ordinary humans, hesitated a little.

However, this hesitation did not last long, Dazai Osamu came to him again, although the frequency of Dazai Osamu seemed to be much less before, but seeing Dazai Osamu smiling in front of his eyes again, Araki Kongyo slightly I put my heart back a little bit.

Then treat Osamu Dazai with a normal attitude, Araki Kuyo thought.

Whether it is the leader Dazai Osamu or the young Dazai Osamu, perhaps they should be grateful for the fallacy this time, because Araki Kongshi treats the leader Dazai Osamu, even though they can be called lovers in the human concept, but in Araki Kongshi In consciousness, Dazai Osamu is still his own cub, he is just playing with Dazai Osamu's human lover and pretending to be a house party.

If Araki Kongshi did not leave his body early due to an accident, and the leader Osamu Dazai also changed his plan because of Araki Kongshi, and stayed in the world, waiting for him to successfully digest Araki Kongshi's power spores and break away from the human body Body, when going to the vast universe with Araki Kongshi, Osamu Dazai will find in despair that Araki Kongyo will only treat him as an heir and descendant forever, but not a partner and lover—because he has grown up And even if Araki Kushi dotes on Osamu Dazai, he won't play 'pretending to be a house wine' with him.

The worst thing is that the high-dimensional Osamu Dazai will no longer have the concept of "death". No matter how much he wants to fall into the sweet embrace of death, he will never touch the hem of death's skirt. Informing Dazai Osamu of the power spores will also become a rift between them, and perhaps a universe cannot be reconciled.

A universe is the time from the birth to the complete death of a universe in a plane space. This period is enough for countless planets to die from the initial birth.

Compared with the leader Osamu Dazai, although the young Osamu Dazai failed to get the black-haired beauty who was very fond of him from the beginning, responsive to him, gentle and considerate, but in the eyes of Araki Kongyo, the young Osamu Dazai was more than half of the black-haired beauty. For the labels of 'cub', 'child', and 'descendant', what Araki Koyo saw more was Osamu Dazai, an ordinary human being.

Can a high-dimensional being fall in love with an ordinary human being?It's impossible to think about it with your toes.

However, the fallacy caused by the reversal of time and space this time gave new hope to this doomed future.

Because of the particularity that the power spore was produced in the Araki Kongshi, there is only one in a plane space. That is to say, the space where the original leader Dazai Osamu is located is the A world that is different from the main world.

Because the leader Osamu Dazai died before fully absorbing the power spores, Araki Kongshi reversed the time of World A in an attempt to save his life, but because the world could not bear Dazai Osamu who absorbed the power spores, or there were not enough rules The power creates a body of Osamu Dazai that can fully carry the spores of power, so in the new world A—we call it the α world, another Osamu Dazai appears here, he is the young man who should have appeared after reversing time Osamu Dazai, and the leader Osamu Dazai, as an existence that cannot be renewed, together with the power spores, fell asleep in the sea of ​​consciousness of the young Osamu Dazai.

They are indeed Dazai Osamu, but they are Dazai Osamu with different experiences. One is a young Dazai Osamu who has never been exposed to books and memories, while the other has the memory of books and has controlled the port mafia. The leader of Dazai Osamu.

Because it is the young Dazai Osamu who controls this body on weekdays, and he has not inherited the power spores, he is still an ordinary human being, so the α world, which is not too stable in fact, can maintain its own safety and integrity, and at the same time Thanks to the blessings of Araki Kongyo, because of his coming, the power leaked out, so that this sub-world, which is different from the main world, absorbed a lot of power, became more tenacious and firm, and infinitely turned to the main world. The world is getting closer, if the direction of fate is a little stronger, it may not be able to affect the main world in turn.

If it wasn't for the leader Dazai Osamu's fusion of power spores, if it weren't for his death, Araki Kongyo would not reverse time, and the young Dazai Osamu would not reappear, and the leader Dazai Osamu would naturally not be able to live in the body of the young Dazai Osamu In it, Araki Kongshi mistakenly thought that the young Dazai Osamu did not inherit his own power spores.

In other words, the leader Osamu Dazai did not guess wrong, this α world is the world that can make everyone happy—whether it is his relatives and friends, or Osamu Dazai himself.

However, this significance has not been realized by the Dazai Osamu until now, and the protagonists who have already ignited this battle without gunpowder in the Shura field are worrying about other things.

The young Osamu Dazai began to plan to use all means to hook Araki Kongyo in a direct way before talking about other things. If he had that useless self-esteem, he might not be able to sleep in Araki Kongshi for the rest of his life——sometimes The love of young people is so passionate and impulsive, or it is just that Osamu Dazai himself has a different thinking concept. The young Osamu Dazai would rather be treated as a substitute for "White Moonlight" than to be respected by Araki Kongshi and treated as an ordinary friend.

The leader, Osamu Dazai, is working hard to train himself to control this body. At least he must have a certain ability to act before he can think of other methods—such as making another artificial body that can accommodate his own soul?

Araki Kongyo's thinking is even simpler, he is considering whether to change jobs.

——Of course, the job-hopping words were said by a black-haired and blue-eyed boy he met on the side of the road. I don’t know when Araki Kongyo had such a hobby, that is to use this human body to slowly Walking on the streets of Yokohama, the image of himself and the leader Osamu Dazai holding hands and strolling on the gravel road that flows through the four seasons will appear in his mind from time to time, and then he recalls that the cub committed suicide simply and neatly after he disappeared , This really made Araki Kongshi puzzled.

Is it because Osamu Dazai is too fragile?But why is he so vulnerable?Could it be that I doted on him too much, that's why this happened?Or... is it because the environment of the port mafia is not suitable for Osamu Dazai to grow up?That's why he did such a thing?

Unaware that his thinking became more and more crooked, Araki Kongshi frowned, immersed in his own thinking, and thus ignored the surrounding situation - when he collided with a certain detective holding a lot of snacks in his arms When he was full, he blinked awake like a dream, and bent down to pull up Edogawa Ranpo who had fallen on the ground.

"Sorry to bump into you, I was thinking about something and didn't pay attention to my surroundings."

Araki Kongyo said politely.

Edogawa Ranpo flattened his mouth, patted the dust on his body, took the snack bag that Araki Kongyo helped organize, and said: "For the sake of your sincere apology, Lord Ranpo will forgive you .”

But after he said this, when his eyes fell on Araki Kongshi's face, he paused for breath, and looked at Araki Kongshi a few more times: "Please wait a moment, give me a few minutes."

Edogawa Ranpo put the snack bag he had just returned on the dusty concrete floor, and then took out a pair of black-rimmed glasses from the pocket of his striped cloak.

He put the ordinary black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said softly: "—[Super reasoning]!"

When those penetrating green eyes opened, Araki Kongyo didn't realize anything, but Edogawa Ranpo opened his eyes wider the more he looked, those green pupils stared like cats Rounded: "Uh——"

Edogawa Ranpo thought for a while before organizing his words: "Are you thinking about how to raise a crooked student? Master Ranpo will tell you responsibly that it is only in a place like the Port Mafia. Can't teach the correct three views! After all, the leader of this organization can't teach children at all! The upper beam is not upright and the lower beam is crooked. In this kind of organization, no matter how good the children are, they will be taught to be cold-blooded and ungrateful own life!"

Probably thinking of the matter with Yosano Akiko, Edogawa Ranpo expressed his dissatisfaction with the port mafia—especially its leader Mori Ogai.

On Ever Dark Island, in order to win the war, Mori Ogai created an "Undead Army" with Yosano Akiko's supernatural ability [Please Don't Die]. Healed with supernatural powers, and then thrown into the battlefield again.

However, the body is healed, but it does not mean that the mind is also. The soldier who once praised Akiko Yosano as an "angel" gratefully insulted her and cursed her in despair, and Akiko Yosano's spirit also collapsed for a while. If it weren't for Mori Ogai's obstruction, perhaps Yosano Akiko would have already apologized with death amidst great guilt and remorse.

Mori Ogai's battle plan failed, because he didn't understand the fragility of the human heart at all, and he didn't know how to teach students correctly, just like Yosano Akiko and Dazai Osamu.

As for why Mori Ogai became the leader of the port mafia—after all, in the eyes of Edogawa Ranpo, as long as he is willing, there will be no secrets in this world. It is the replacement of the leader of the port mafia, And the leader is Mori Ogai, the teacher who once taught Yosano Akiko. Edogawa Ranpo actually read some materials related to the port mafia, and he can see clearly.

So when he didn't know why on a whim, he observed this black-haired beauty who accidentally bumped into him - Edogawa Ranpo certainly has the most basic aesthetics, but for a pure-minded person like him, Araki Kongshi The charm contained in his good looks has to be discounted a few times - he found out that the other party turned out to be a member of the port mafia, and he was still worried about the children's education, so he immediately put forward his own suggestion.
