This is a nurturing essay

In the evening, lupine bar.

The soothing piano music played slowly, and the dim light brought some tiredness.There were no customers in the bar and it was very quiet.

A teenager stood behind the bar counter of Lupine Bar, slowly wiping the counter.He has short black curly hair and handsome facial features that are not fully opened, and he is also very tall.

It was Lu Yu.

As for why he appeared here in such a posture... that's a long story.

It has been more than a year since the previous dimensionality reduction.However, dimensionality reduction is actually a free ride to return the pages of the book to Small World. While returning the pages, the existence of "Lu Yu" is also written into the book of Small World.

After that experiment, Saiki Kongsuke opened the door to a new world—the physical one.During this year, he locked various small worlds, big and small, and even many of them were familiar to Lu Yu in his previous life...

Funny cartoon characters are as scary as they come.

The cooperation between the two also continued because of the exploration of the new world, and was discovered by Dazai Osamu Saiki Kusuo and the others.

Osamu Dazai also knew about the dimensionality reduction. At that time, the little black cat blew up, but Lu Yu, the coaxing master, quickly calmed the child down—he gave the name of his previous life.

When the quarrel just broke out, it could be said that the chickens were flying like dogs.

And this time, Qi Mu Kongzhu contacted him because he wanted him to go back to the main world to have a look.

The "past" of the main world.

Because the book was sealed before, the main world seems to be ushering in a "promotion".He wants to get rid of the plot and become a world that does not lag behind the three-dimensional world.

And this change involves not only the present, the future, but also the "past".

After the "past" is successfully affected, another "future" that completely escapes the plot will develop, parallel to the current main world, and will not affect the "present" of Butei Zai and them.

"Go over and put some monitoring equipment on me, and broadcast it by the way." Qi Mu Kongsuke directed him rudely.

Lu Yu thought for a while: "Then it's okay for me to help change the trajectory?"

"What's none of my business?" The tsundere scientist replied angrily.

understood.

The time when the change occurred was the era of blackness. Lu Yu asked carefully and found that it was Dazai.

This is simple, stop the death of Oda Sakunosuke to complete the task!

So Lu Yu packed up his luggage, and set off confidently following the instructions of his younger brothers, "there are enough cats at home, don't go home to pick up cats anymore".

As a result, there was a problem when it landed.

As soon as he arrived in the small world, Lu Yu found that his altitude was much shorter at this point of view... Looking for a reflective wall, he shrank to about 16 years old.

Fortunately, I didn't become a primary school student.

Speechlessly, he found a place to settle down, contacted Qi Mu Kongsuke, and found out that because he came to the main world this time, Lu Yu's timeline would also be affected, twisting him into the "past" 16-year-old.

The strength has also shrunk a lot.

Forget it, shrink it and shrink it.Anyway, don't delay anything.

The big-hearted man decided to put the matter behind him and get down to business.He found out that Osamu Dazai of this world, also known as Aji in the past, had become the youngest cadre of the mafia a few months ago.

That means the minic event is about to develop.

Lu Yu thought about it, and went to Lupin's Bar.After a cordial communication with the boss, he successfully stood behind the counter instead of the boss.

The best place to watch the rogue faction get.

However, after wiping the tabletop of the cup for several days, Lu Yu did not see Hei Shizai.After all, the work of the mafia is very busy, and the cadres are social animals.

But he met Oda Sakunosuke once.The red-haired man who had a great influence on Buteizai silently ordered a cup of screwdriver, sat quietly for a while, and then left.

In fact, Lu Yu wanted to ask him why he wanted to fight the mafia. After all, the Oda Sakunosuke in their world had been discovered and absorbed by the sheep organization.

With his [Seamless Clothes] and agile skills, where can he not go?

But now they are not very familiar with it, so there is no reason to speak.Lu Yu just played the role of the silent boy, watching the red-haired mafia leave.

This bar is quite deserted, usually there are no people.

Lu Yu finished wiping the counter again, feeling that tonight was going to be wasted again.

Why don't you just tell the boss of the back kitchen, and then you will be able to code at the base.Or another way to approach Hei Shizai...

Just as he was pondering, the door of the bar opened.

Lu Yu turned his head to look, and the movements of his subordinates stopped slightly, and the appearance of the person who came was completely in sight.

, is at the junction of teenagers and youth.The height is not short, but the shoulders are not broad enough.Although a suit of black is quite majestic, it also looks thin.The bandage covered his right eye, and the silence was icy cold.

In a daze, Lu Yu thought he saw the leader Zai when he first met.However, the leader Zai was much softer in front of Lu Yu because his memory was affected.And because he is the leader, he is a little more unpredictable than the people in front of him.

And the person in front of him was unabashedly tired and indifferent.

This is Hei Shizai, which Lu Yu has never seen before, the "Dazai Ruler", the past of Wuzhenzai.

Hei Shizai walked down the stairs and sat down in front of the bar skillfully.He didn't look up, his brown-black hair cast a shadow: "Newcomer?"

It was a soft voice, but it reminded people of dangerous snakes.

"Do you need anything?" Lu Yu bowed slightly. At the age of 16, he has not yet passed the period of voice change, and his voice is hoarse and lowered.

"A glass of whiskey."

The taste has not changed.Lu Yu groaned, and turned to look for the cup.

The cadre in black still lowered his head, his brows and eyes were covered by a black shadow.

"16 years old?" He asked seemingly unintentionally.

"Guests are good."

"That's not the age to be in a bar."

"You don't mind, do you?"

"Working students?"

"Yes."

This is a trial.Although he was 16 years old, Lu Yu didn't have any student spirit. According to Hei Shizai's eyesight, it was impossible to regard him as a student.

But Lu Yu still agreed - all he wanted was attention.

"It's hard work, being a student. Yokohama is not safe at night." Hei Shizai said quietly.

"Yokohama in the daytime can't be said to be safe." Lu Yu put the whiskey with ice pucks in front of Hei Shizai, "Your wine."

Hei Shizai said nothing more.He stretched out a finger and poked the ice puck slowly, as if it was such an interesting thing.

"Meow—" a thin three-colored cat dexterously jumped onto the stool, then onto the bar, and meowed at Lu Yu.

Could this be the legendary Natsume teacher?

Lu Yu leaned over to the cat: "What does this guest want?"

Hei Shizai seemed to laugh slightly.

"Give the teacher a glass of sake."

"Can cats drink?" Lu Yu asked with a frown.

"He can, the teacher is not an ordinary cat, he is a regular visitor here. Right, teacher?" Hei Shizai turned to face the three-flowered cat.

"Meow meow!" You are the only kid who can think of giving the cat a drink.

Lu Yu thought for a while and said, "Please wait a moment." Then he turned and went to the back kitchen.

After a while, he came out with a plate of fried small fish and a plate of hot milk.

Although I don't know if ordinary cats can eat these, Natsume-sensei can definitely eat them.

"Please use, guest." He put the milk and dried fish in front of Sanhuamao.

"Meow." The three-flowered cat yelled, buried its head in its mouth and started chewing a small dried fish.

Then Hei Shizai raised his head and glanced at Lu Yu.His hair was a bit long, covering a lot of facial features, but the iris-colored eye was still exposed, looking and exploring.

Lu Yu lowered his head and took a cup to wipe, pretending not to notice Hei Shizai's behavior.

The bar fell silent again.

The door was opened again, and the sound of leather shoes stepping on the wooden ladder came.A red-haired man and a young man with glasses walked down side by side.

"Ah! Odasaku! Ango!"

Hei Shizai seemed to come alive instantly.He leaned back and looked at the two people who were walking: "You guys are so late!"

"It can't compare to Dazai-kun. After all, we are just small people. Right, Mr. Odasaku?" Sakaguchi Ango pushed his glasses and said with a smile.

He looks not much different from Ango Sakaguchi in the main world, except that the hairline is more forward.

"Dazai is very powerful." Oda Sakunosuke, who had met before, replied casually.

"Welcome." Lu Yu greeted them.

"Are you new?" Ango Sakaguchi looked at Lu Yu, "You look very young."

"A glass of whiskey." Oda Sakunosuke sat next to Hei Shizai, "Brother June has been here for several days, and you didn't know it because you haven't been here for a long time."

"I see, so do I." Sakaguchi Ango sat next to Oda Sakunosuke, "Has anything interesting happened recently?"

"No, work is still so boring." Hei Shizai lay down on the bar counter, "Where's Oda Zuo?"

"I don't have any stories, I'm just working in a normal job. If I have to tell..."

"What?" Hei Shizai approached excitedly.

"The owner of the curry shop I used to eat is sick, and I haven't eaten any curry recently." Oda Sakunosuke sighed, and his eyebrows frowned.

"This is really a terrible disaster..." Sakaguchi Ango complained.

"Hey—there's no more curry." Hei Shizai pinched his chin, "How about another restaurant?"

"I've eaten all the curry shops around, but none of them are authentic enough and not spicy enough."

At this time, Lu Yu put two glasses of whiskey on the bar counter: "Your whiskey."

"Ah, thank you." Oda Sakunosuke and Sakaguchi Ango took the wine.

"By the way!" Hei Shizai suddenly thought of a good idea, "This little brother June can't cook, right? Would you like to cook a curry for us?"

Three pairs, no, four pairs of eyes of different colors looked at Lu Yu at the same time.Lu Yu was silent for a moment, then refused: "Sorry, there probably aren't any suitable materials in the kitchen."

Seeing Oda Sakunosuke's blue eyes dim instantly, he couldn't help but add: "If Mr. Oda comes tomorrow, I can try."

I dare not say anything else, the country of planting flowers must be quite spicy.

"That's troublesome." Oda Sakunosuke quickly agreed.

"Are you so sure about my cooking skills?" Lu Yu couldn't help asking.

"Because Dazai said so." The red-haired man nodded.

Hei Shizai just smiled and didn't speak.

"Then let's toast." Ango Sakaguchi raised his glass, "For tomorrow's curry?"

"For the curry."

"cheers!"

The crisp sound of glasses colliding resounded through the bar.

Afterwards, the trio had a rambling chat for a while, and then left together.After they left, Lu Yu finished packing the table and utensils, greeted the boss, and prepared to go back to the base.

"Meow--"

Sanhuamao, who had stayed all night, jumped off the bar, walked up to Lu Yu and squatted down.

"Are you going to follow me?" Lu Yu squatted down and asked tentatively.

"Meow." The cat licked its paw.

"Then let's go." Lu Yu, who looked like a teenager, couldn't help smiling, and gently picked up the Sanhua cat, brushed its back with his fingertips, and left Lupin amidst the cat's comfortable purring.
