How to raise Dazai gently

The work was settled so smoothly, at least Fukuzawa Yukichikai, as the president, was paid a very generous salary, which relieved the urgent needs of the three of them.

Oda Sakunosuke finally borrowed some money and sent the six adopted children to kindergartens and elementary schools near the detective agency. Although the oldest three are in the second and third grades, the kindergarten and elementary school are all in the same area. It is also convenient for Oda Sakunosuke to pick up and drop off.

"By the way, if you take them to play during the holidays, Odasaku should also prepare for the 'debut in the park', right?"

On the Monday of the second week after taking up the job, Osamu Dazai was sitting at his work station when he suddenly said this.

"'Park debut'? What's that?" The unfamiliar word made everyone except Kunikida Doppo who was working at an astonishing speed look over.

The atmosphere of the Armed Detective Agency is very good, as long as you finish your work, there is no problem with small talk-it is better to say that the members of the agency are like a family, which is what Fukuzawa Yukichi prefers to see.

Edogawa Ranpo held the crushed ice in his mouth, and said vaguely: "It means the appearance when the housewife takes the child to the park for the first time. It is said that a lot of preparations are required. It is not as simple as that of the idol group. That’s why it’s nicknamed this way. Oda Saku is a single father, but it’s impossible for children to stay at home all the time, and they will always have to make their debut in the park—unless you find a wife before that to do it for you. "

"Hmm... I don't think any woman would look at a man who has five children and is very poor. If there is, it should be a female Bodhisattva." Oda Sakunosuke replied truthfully.

"Puhahaha, Oda Sakunosuke, you are so interesting!" Oda Sakunosuke's words amused the members next to him, and even Naoko Tanizaki couldn't help laughing while covering his mouth.

"If you're settled, you can't keep the kids at home all the time." Oda Sakunosuke continued, "What...'debut in the park', right? What are you going to do?"

"Well, it's actually very simple, just remember to bring your children a change of clothes, slippers, and a water bottle. Remember that the clothes should not be too expensive, otherwise it will arouse the jealousy of other mothers from poor families, and the darker the color of the clothes, the less conspicuous the better. , so that the children will not get dirty when they are playing. If you want to post to Moments, don’t use paid emojis or the like. The most important thing is to bring some easy-to-eat snacks and share them when the children are hungry go out."

With a smile on his face, Osamu Dazai said these words.

"Wow... the front is fine, what's going on behind?"

Tanizaki Junichiro couldn't help but said, "Why are there so many strange rules, just go to the park to play?"

"It's okay not to abide by these rules, but those who don't abide by these rules will be excluded, and then the children will be isolated, and if it is serious, they will suffer from depression, so we can't take it lightly."

Dazai said seriously.

"Aren't they too free?" Yosano Akiko couldn't help but said, "With such free time, why not do something more meaningful."

"It's because there is no way to do more meaningful things. There is no living space for working women in Japan now, and they can only try their best to prove their existence in this kind of place." Kunikida Doppo finally spoke, but look at him With the documents piled up in his hand, he should have joined the chat after finishing his work.

Oda Sakunosuke thought deeply: "There are six children in our family, but I don't worry about being isolated. The children can play by themselves."

"This kind of thinking is wrong, Odasaku." Faced with such a parenting concept, Araki Kongyo, who was listening quietly, said seriously: "In addition to their own families, children also need other friends, otherwise It can cause a lot of psychological problems."

Unknowingly, the topic shifted to how to make Oda Sakunosuke's "park debut" a complete success, and the relationship between old and new members has also been shortened a lot.

"So, why don't we practice this weekend?" Osamu Dazai proposed this suggestion with a smile.

Edogawa Ranpo seemed to have thought of something, and he smiled and raised his hands in agreement: "Good idea! I can help play the role of housewife!"

"Sounds like fun?"

"I want to join too!"

"Can I participate?"

"Wait, isn't this bad?"

Kunikida Doppo's voice was drowned out by the cheerful inquiries of other club members.

"I'm fine, Kushi, Dazai, what do you think?" Oda Sakunosuke turned his head and asked his friend.

"I have no objection. After all, it will be very useful for the children's future." Araki Kongyo is very easy to talk about children's issues.

And Araki Koyo agreed to Dazai Osamu and naturally he would not object, not to mention that he was the one who proposed this proposal in the first place.

"Since everyone is here, why not just hold a party by the way?"

Osamu Dazai clapped his hands and suggested.

If he wanted to please someone, it would be easier than drinking water, and this proposal was naturally approved by all members.

On the way back to the seaside castle, Oda Sakunosuke was driving the car, and he said to Osamu Dazai, "Dazai, did you specially invite them to be guests?"

"Huh?" Osamu Dazai was sitting in the back row and was reading storybooks to the children with Araki Kongyo. When he heard the question from Oda Sakunosuke, he shrugged and said, "That's not it, I deliberately used the children to fight. , and then let them eat people with short mouths, and they will take care of us more in the future~"

Oda Sakunosuke nodded, and replied: "That's why I specially invited you to the party. It seems that the house will be very lively this weekend, and I have to go shopping then."

"I want to eat hamburger meat!"

“craving pizza!”

"Will there be cake?"

“I want to eat Chinese fried rice!”

As soon as the children heard that there would be a party, they chirped about the food they wanted to eat.

After all, he was still young and couldn't remember the past things clearly. In addition, Oda Sakunosuke was really patient and gentle with the children. Soon these children sensibly cared about Oda Sakunosuke who seemed to be very natural in some things.

"Well...but I don't have that much money..."

Oda Sakunosuke was a little distressed. Basically, all the money on his body was given to the kindergarten as tuition fees, as well as food expenses for Araki Kongyo and Dazai Osamu, and there was really not enough money left on him.

"It's okay, I'll treat you this time." Araki Kongyo took the conversation calmly, and said amidst the cheers of the children: "You can eat whatever you want."

Looking at the bustling scene in front of him, Osamu Dazai felt a little dazed. He didn't actually feel it until now. Did he and Araki Kongyo really leave the port mafia and come to the other side of the world?

It seems that it was only yesterday that he was a majestic candidate for a cadre in the port mafia, but now he has transformed into a member of an armed detective agency that maintains order and upholds justice.

But seeing the more lively expressions of the children than before, Osamu Dazai felt a slight twitch in his heart, and temporarily suppressed the idea of ​​using the children to enhance the goodwill of the members of the Armed Detective Agency at the weekend gathering.

That's right, unlike the dull Oda Sakunosuke, Osamu Dazai has realized that the real entrance examination is not over yet.

Even if he successfully joined the company, except for Oda Sakunosuke who took the initiative to save people in the morning, Araki Kongyo and Dazai Osamu, who were watching from the sidelines, are probably still under investigation.

If you think about this kind of thing, you will know. The content of the test is probably whether you can risk your life to save others. The words of these people, except for Edogawa Ranpo, are a piece of cake.

Deliberately using the topic of "debut in the park" to invite members to the castle is also to pave the way for Oda Sakunosuke and Araki Kongyo-yes, in the bottom of Dazai Osamu's heart, he thinks that he probably won't be able to stay in the Armed Detective Agency for long , by that time, it is estimated that I will have to find another job to make a living.

Forget it, it's useless to think so much now, let's take a step at a time.

"I will be Mr. Kong Shi's bride in the future!"

"You are obviously a boy!"

"Can't a boy be a bride?"

"Of course not, boys can only be grooms!"

"Then when I grow up, I will be Mr. Kong Shi's groom!"

The children didn't know when they changed the topic and turned into a debate about who is the most suitable bride for Araki Kongshi.

Osamu Dazai shook off the complicated thoughts in his mind, and joined the battle for Araki Kongshi who did not know when to start: "Okay, you sneaky kittens! I am the only one who loves Kongshi, so don't be wishful thinking Already!"

"Wow! A new love rival has appeared!"

"Let's work together to defeat the rival monster!"

I don't know where these children learned it, but the children in Yokohama are always precocious, because the chaotic world makes them grow up early, otherwise they would not survive.

But maybe it’s because of the new environment, or maybe it’s because the leading struggle is finally over, the adults around are no longer frowning, the children show their vitality, and even jumped on Dazai Osamu with a smile, Make the signature moves of the heroes in various tokusho dramas, to 'defeat' Osamu Dazai, the 'rival monster'.

Osamu Dazai squinted his eyes to play with them, and even childishly refused to admit defeat and fell down. The oldest boy shouted unconvinced: "It's time for the rival monster to fall! There is no monster that Ultraman can't defeat!"

Osamu Dazai childishly made a face at the child: "Then I am the only monster that Ultraman can't defeat, ah ha ha ha ha!"

While laughing and laughing, they arrived at the castle by the sea unknowingly. The children liked this place very much. The girls imagined themselves as princesses, and the boys also liked to explore everywhere in it, saying that they wanted to hunt for treasure.

The children quickly forgot about the unhappiness with Osamu Dazai, and after getting out of the car, they dragged others to play a pirate adventure game.

"Go and play, I will make dinner with Odasaku." Araki Kongyo looked at Osamu Dazai who was surrounded by children, couldn't help smiling, and said.

Gin Akutagawa and the other children had already gone to boarding at Tachikai High School attached to Kanagawa next door, so it seemed that only Osamu Dazai, who couldn't cook, was left to play with these younger children.

Before Osamu Dazai had time to say anything, the children took him by the hand and pushed him from behind: "Let's go! Let's go exploring!"

After all, humans are social animals. Under the instigation of the leading boy, the children managed to drag Dazai away.

"Should we still make curry tonight?" Araki Koyo found an apron in the kitchen and put it on, asking Oda Sakunosuke.

"I like curry very much, but Kosuke said yesterday that he is already tired of eating curry and wants to eat something else..." Although Oda Sakunosuke's expression did not change, Araki Kongyo could see that he was a little frustrated, "But I I can only make curry..."

As an adoptive father, even Sakunosuke Oda would feel depressed if he was rejected by his own children.

"I'll leave the curry crab to you, Odasaku, and leave the rest to me."

After all, Araki Kongyo is a gourmet master who once fed the leader Osamu Dazai to a lot of roundness. He tied his long hair behind his head, lowered his head and began to chop vegetables.

Oda Sakunosuke's gaze unconsciously swept across Araki Kongyo's back, and involuntarily stayed on the white fingers and slender neck for a few seconds.

The Japanese have always admired subtle beauty. Compared with appearance or figure, the softness and slenderness of fingers, ankles, and neck are more in line with the definition of beauty.

Oda Sakunosuke withdrew his gaze, thinking in his heart that he was indeed Araki Kongshi, and that his whole body was perfect.

On the other side, Osamu Dazai, who was playing with the children, also dispelled their idea of ​​exploring and hunting for treasure with a few words, and pulled the boys to play house wine with the girls.

Soon the characters were assigned, but Osamu Dazai was assigned the role of the evil mother-in-law. Although Osamu Dazai had indeed met many precocious children, and even himself was one of them, but in After listening to the content of the script, Osamu Dazai, the candidate for the port mafia cadre who once made his subordinates and enemies fearful, couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Is it because God thinks that I have done too many evils in the past, so I am punished like this now?

What is hyper-real pretending to be a house wine?

Let the children play with the new daughter-in-law who has just married into us and is tortured by the evil mother-in-law, and then there is a real story in the world. The beloved husband is chased and killed by usury, and then Xiaozhi has to ask his wife to do it for him with emotion and reason. After leaving with the mafia who came to collect debts, the wife who was reduced to the red-light district stood out because of her beauty and temperament, and became the queen of the street, but her heart was broken by a man... But there is no unparalleled road, She met the police who came undercover and the reporter who investigated anonymously. After a series of incidents, she was finally rescued by the police and the reporter who lurked in, and then wavered between the police and the reporter—a poor woman played by fate, Who will her love end up with in the end?

——And unfortunately, the role played by Dazai Osamu is a wicked mother-in-law who can't be blamed at all, which makes him start to reflect on whether he has done too badly in his daily life, so that he was assigned to such a role.

But after all, it's actually quite interesting to play. What's interesting is that this little girl named Ninizi is quite talented in acting. She can perform the true meaning of her role in a few words. The other children don't know if they can play with her. Enough, although there are some complaints in the words, "Why is this kind of real script in the world again", but the performance is still quite cooperative.

After playing his role as an evil mother-in-law, Osamu Dazai sat beside him lightly, observing the children adopted by Sakunosuke Oda.

"It's time to eat, everyone remember to line up to wash your hands." Oda Sakunosuke shouted standing at the kitchen door, and the children playing in the lobby on the first floor responded happily, and went to the bathroom to wash their hands very obediently.

The older children have all been hungry before and know the pain of not having food, and the younger children are also very well-behaved, and they have no picky or anorexia behavior.

Osamu Dazai got up and went to the kitchen, saw that Araki Koyo and Oda Sakunosuke seemed to be talking about something, and then they seemed to have talked about something funny, and smiled at the same time.

Osamu Dazai's footsteps stopped, but then he stepped forward again, pretending to casually walk into the kitchen, and asked, "It smells so good—today's dinner seems to be very rich?"

"Dazai." Araki Kongyo smiled, nodded, picked up a spoon and took a sip and handed it to Osamu Dazai, "Try it, just now Odasaku is trying to develop a new curry flavor, I suggest he put a little coconut Syrup, it tastes good."

"Oh, really? Then I'll try it." Dazai Osamu did not take the spoon, but held Araki Kongyo's wrist, lowered his head to hold the spoon, and swallowed the curry meat and potato cubes together. Then he nodded seriously like a gourmet: "Well, it's delicious. It tastes different from before. I think they will like it."

After all, they were children who were about to live together, and Osamu Dazai had long remembered their names.

"That's good."

Oda Sakunosuke also heaved a sigh of relief, with a relieved expression on his face.

This dinner was well received, but Sakunosuke Oda ate his own special super spicy curry. It is said that he just likes the feeling of sweating on his forehead and body, which gives him the motivation to come back to life.

The children helped clean up the dishes. During the free time after dinner, Osamu Dazai found an opportunity and approached Ninizi: "Miss Ninizi, can I ask, in your script, How are the roles of Sora and Odasaku arranged?"

The girl who had learned katakana in advance suddenly looked at Dazai Osamu with a strange expression, and then showed a clear expression: "Oh, that's how it is, I understand."

The little girl showed a smile that made Osamu Dazai feel chills behind him for some reason, and generously handed out her script: "I'll show you, but don't dirty my notebook, I will be angry."

Osamu Dazai thanked him, and opened the book. The script on the book was described in crooked katakana and some pictures. After turning a few pages, Osamu Dazai quickly got used to Niniko's handwriting and grammatical habits.

Perhaps for a better introduction, the scripts written by Ninizi always use the names of people around them instead. After all, it is really troublesome to write the professional names of some characters in words, so I can’t blame Ninizi for using this Way to be lazy.

The roles Niniko arranged for Araki Kongyo and Oda Sakunosuke were not what Osamu Dazai thought, they were arranged as a partner or husband and wife or something-after all, Oda Sakunosuke was the adoptive father who adopted them, and Niniko will be in the script It is reasonable to arrange for him.

The role that Ninizi arranged for Araki Kongyo turned out to be the prequel of the script this afternoon - it has entanglements and origins with the role of the evil mother-in-law played by Osamu Dazai, and the role of Oda Sakunosuke...

"Hey, didn't Oda Sakunosuke appear in this?" Osamu Dazai flipped through it roughly, but couldn't find the name of Oda Sakunosuke.

"Because Ninizi thought about it and didn't know what kind of role he was suitable for, so I simply let him be the writer responsible for the heroine's autobiography in the end! It's suitable for him, right?"

The little girl smiled crisply, as if she was proud of being able to write such a shocking work.

It is indeed very suitable for Oda Sakunosuke, and compared to other characters, maybe it is a kind of luck to be the final background board - watch this super real play with Ninizi in the afternoon. Cai Se's face knew it.

Osamu Dazai reopened the book and watched the prequel script where Araki Kongyo appeared intently. He didn't know if this girl really had talent in this area, or if she had a strong observation ability, so she actually arranged Araki Kongyo in the script. There was Bai Yueguang, and he married Dazai Osamu for the role played by Bai Yueguang. The two had many entanglements and disputes because of Bai Yueguang. In the end, Dazai Zhi defeated Bai Yueguang and married Araki Kongshi, but because he couldn't tell whether the husband was in love with him or the phantom of the white moonlight on his body, his mind was distorted from then on, and the child was not his. It is said that it was because he had not conceived for many years, and the child was the husband. Where did he adopt him, which made him wonder if it was Bai Yueguang and her husband's, that's why he discussed the wife the child married--the logic of the plot is still right, and people can't help but want to say that a genius is really All ages.

Osamu Dazai was sitting upright, staring at Ninizi earnestly and sincerely, and said, "Miss Ninizi, an excellent and outstanding writer, I hereby make a solemn request, could you please change the plot of the prequel?"

Ni Nizi puffed her chest out and accepted Dazai Osamu's compliment: "No one can make a writer revise the story he has written!"

"Small, small changes are not enough?" Osamu Dazai showed pitiful eyes, trying to impress the little writer, "Just change one place, so that my character can defeat Bai Yueguang and succeed!"

"No!" Ninizi flatly refused, "If you change it like this, then the follow-up plot will not be logical. I have to be responsible for my own work, and Oda Saku has said so!"

Because of Dazai Osamu and Araki Kongyo, these children also learned to call Oda Sakunosuke this way, but Oda Sakunosuke accepted it well. It is better to say that he is a good teacher and helpful friend of the children than an adoptive father.

"Well, if there is no way to change this script... Excuse me, can I ask you for a draft?" Osamu Dazai showed a sly smile.

In the end, no one knows what kind of agreement they reached, but Ninizi, who has become a popular female writer in the future, when asked which work she thinks is the best, she will smile and say: "Oh, then It must be the work I was asked to draft for the first time in my life—”
