There was a roaring explosion, the hull of the ship was completely shattered, and it flew away. The whole ship was slowly sinking and submerged in the sea, becoming one of the history left on the bottom of the sea.

The seawater filled their bodies and fell down. Osamu Dazai wanted to struggle instinctively, but he clearly heard Kazamahae's muffled hum in his ears.

The ice blades around Kazama Yu fell into the water together with the dried blood on his body, sank heavily, and fell into the deep sea.

Osamu Dazai wanted to speak, but his actions were always limited in the water, all he could do was to hold Kazamahae's wrist tightly, and hug him tightly instead of the guest.

don't let me go.

It was difficult for Kazama Yu to maintain a clear mind for too long, the countdown of time after the system issued a warning had already appeared in his eyes, and there was not much time left.

He felt a little weak in holding Dazai's hand, maybe Dazai realized this and grabbed his hand firmly.

But everything is always in vain.

Kazama Yu could still talk in the sea, he turned his back to Dazai Osamu, and did not show Dazai Osamu everything behind him that was stained with blood.

When the explosion came, he protected Dazai Osamu behind him, and the protective shield formed by the blood and all the impacts he endured hit Kazama Yu's body.The clothes on his back had been torn apart a long time ago, and blood was oozing out from the hideous wound on the back.

Because they were surrounded by blood when they fell, Osamu Dazai didn't even notice Kazama Yu's current situation.

But the sea noticed.

The monstrous huge waves rose and fell, and the dark weather slowly covered the sun in the clear sky. Little raindrops fell to the ground and hit the sea surface, splashing countless water splashes.

Its child was badly injured, and that was its treasure.

It is because of human beings.

All because of human greed.

The raging waves rolled in the sky like a giant beast, and Dazai Osamu, who was in Kazamaha's arms, was affected to some extent.

Kazama Yu lowered his eyes, and after seeing that half of the time had passed, he met Osamu Dazai who was trying to catch his gaze, and then slowly opened his mouth.

"—"

It was the voice Osamu Dazai had heard twice, the language of the mermaid.The first time is a peaceful sleep, the second time is a farewell, and the third time is a complete farewell.It was also the mermaid's last song with all its strength.

But this time the ballad has a lot of unknown atmosphere.There are soothing tunes to the ocean, there are mourning tunes, and after the ballad is over, there are interspersed tones like ordinary conversation.

Kazama Yu looked deeply at Osamu Dazai, took off the "Mermaid Tears" that was hanging around his neck and floated up due to buoyancy, put it on Osamu Dazai's neck, and kissed lightly on top.

Osamu Dazai's heart trembled, and his unbelievable eyes fell on Kazama Yu.He found that Kazama Yu couldn't even maintain his human form, and he returned to the original mermaid.

I have seen countless times in the past that there are gleaming blue fish scales on the beautiful tail, and it has even been stained with the color of the sun.But at this moment, the tail was scarred and dull, and the scales revealed the breath of ashes.

Under the gaze of Osamu Dazai, Kazama Yu raised his hand and landed on their fingertips, and bit by bit he broke away from Osamu Dazai's clenched grip, but moved up slowly, and finally put his hands together He held it under Osamu Dazai's jaw, and gently held his face.Forced him to look down at himself.

Osamu Dazai couldn't catch it, so he could only follow Kazama Yu's movements and lower his head, looking at Kazama Yu's face, looking at Kazama Yu's eyes.

What are you going to do?

Osamu Dazai's lips opened and closed, he would rather the water rush in than ask this sentence silently.

But the only answer he got was Kazama Yu's softened eyes.

The mermaid did not choose to sing, but looked up at Osamu Dazai who was gradually pushed up by the buoyancy. He formed a strong contrast with Kazamaha who kept falling down.

The most ordinary words spoken by Kazama Yu's lips and teeth are like ballads, the sound of nature.

"—"

——I will give you the protection of the Sea God.

The sea has calmed down, but in the dark it is still rolling, never stopping, with a sorrowful pathos.

Osamu Dazai didn't understand what Kazama Yu was saying, but he could clearly feel that the moment Kazama Yu's words fell, the surrounding water that squeezed him lost its strength, and what was left was only the wrapped tenderness .

It is even said that his tight breathing has now relaxed, and he can breathe normally in the sea.

What did Kazama Yu do?

Osamu Dazai's uneasy premonition kept clamoring.

What followed was Kazama Yu's second tone.

"—"

- My soul is with you.

The sea current was tumbling until it calmed down in the end, as if he had accepted the result.The existence of light refracted through the overlapping sea surface, and hit Osamu Dazai above.

Countless lights rose from the sea, dots of blue fluorescent light gathered in a circle, and landed beside Dazai Osamu, lighting up the world, forming a small bright circle, surrounding him and Kazama Yu together. .

Kazama Yu's long hair drifted upwards along the water, and Kazama Yu's own face was also raised with yearning and reluctance.

From now on, you are the new Son of the Sea God.

The ocean is your backing, your shelter.You have plunged into the deep sea countless times, looking for relief, but you will not succeed.

This is my last gift to you.

"—"

—… I will miss you.

Kazama Yu said.

Osamu Dazai understood this sentence unexpectedly.

But he would rather not read it himself.

"I don't want you to miss me." Osamu Dazai said, "I want you to stay."

Facing Dazai Osamu's gaze, Kazama Ha smiled, but in the end the answer he gave was the answer Dazai Osamu didn't want.

He loosened the only connection with Osamu Dazai.

Osamu Dazai was entangled in the sea and floated up, while Yu Kazama fell down.The part of the loosened fingertips is the hand that Osamu Dazai desperately wanted to grasp, and he missed it.This part is the palm that Kazama Yu withdrew, and it cannot be left behind.

Kazama Yu looked at him, just like when they first met, but this time the difference was that it was no longer a clasped hand, but a separation.

"I remember the way home."

Kazama Yu said, his voice reached Dazai Osamu's ears through the water flow, Dazai Osamu clenched his lips, still unwilling to let go and wanted to grab it, but it was always empty, only the feeling of the water being waved away .

The sea water dragged his body to the coast, and Kazama Yu finally disappeared from his sight.

……

[10 minutes up. 】

[Agent No. 7458 is out of the world. 】

[Successfully escaped. 】

[Physical and mental status testing.No health loss. 】

In the empty space, Kazama Yu slowly landed on the ground. He stepped on the ground, but he still couldn't help but look back at the world he left behind.That world that has turned into a star in countless galaxies.

After a while, he seemed to remember the appearance of that world before he opened his mouth.

- Calculate task completion.

[Mission completion rate is 60.00%, and the remaining 40.00% belongs to the score of the target.Obtaining the score of the target of the strategy. 】

……

Ango Sakaguchi stood guard on the shore and looked at the sea full of conditions and the wreckage after the explosion. In the end, he decided to abandon the organization and just pick up someone, just to take a look.

But the ocean cut off their idea of ​​going to sea, and sent the person Ango Sakaguchi wanted.

Osamu Dazai was washed ashore by the current, and the water he choked on before obtaining the status of "Son of the Sea God" made him cough non-stop at this moment. The first thing he got up was to struggle to go into the sea, but Ango Sakaguchi Quickly caught it.

"What are you going to do?" Ango Sakaguchi held Dazai Osamu steady and forbade him to enter the sea again. Dazai Osamu looked back and made Ango Sakaguchi froze for a moment.

Those eyes were extremely ferocious, like the final roar of a beast that had lost everything.

Ango Sakaguchi didn't see Yu Kazama coming up behind him, they were all smart people and understood something instantly.

But this does not mean that he will let Osamu Dazai, who was replaced by Kazama Ha, lose his life again.

Osamu Dazai tightly locked the hands holding Ango Sakaguchi's clothes, tearing his clothes into a mess.Ango Sakaguchi even had the illusion that Osamu Dazai wanted to tear his clothes to pieces.

After a long time, Osamu Dazai calmed down slowly. He looked at the tumbling sea, revealing the wailing and sad breath. As he inherited the status of "Son of the Sea God", he could feel the heart-piercing pain of belonging to the ocean.

He opened his mouth slowly, choked the words in his throat, and then tried his best to maintain the calmness of the past and said: "I'm sorry."

I am sorry.

I'm sorry I lost your child...

Osamu Dazai lowered his head and looked at the sea, not knowing what to do for a moment.

The seabirds circled and wailed, approaching them to spread their wings from the place where the ship sank. The place that should have been filled with Kazama Yume's blood at this moment turned back to the color of sea water, layer upon layer returning to that blue.

Kazama Yu was born on the surface of the sea, and his flesh and blood are all part of the ocean.

Except for the necklace he gave, the clumsy little doll he made with his own hands, and the status of "Son of the Sea God", other things Dazai Osamu didn't need, Kazama Yu didn't keep any of them.

For example himself.

Only the phrase "I remember the way home".

That's not the answer that Osamu Dazai wanted.

He loosened Ango Sakaguchi's clothes, and slowly stood up straight, as if he had let go of something.But then his body stiffened again.

He has extra weight in his pocket that shouldn't be there.

Osamu Dazai reached out and touched it from his pocket, but what he encountered was a cold feeling, which was the touch of the mobile phone screen.

cell phone?

Osamu Dazai took a deep breath, and the memory that was forcibly forgotten was suddenly revealed again, and he remembered the strange text message at the beginning.

Do you want to find the meaning of living in the world?

Osamu Dazai thought that kind of thing would never exist at all, but there would always be someone who could make him feel and look forward to being alive.

So?

It's all a line from the start.

Osamu Dazai turned on the phone and looked at the latest text message, the unknown number was the signature.

Osamu Dazai stared coldly, and clicked on the text message.

[Dear sir, hello.I am a tester, how do you feel about our service? 】

[We are waiting for your evaluation, between zero and five points. 】

Looking at the place where the graffiti flowed out from below, Osamu Dazai landed on it with some wet fingertips, and replied without hesitation.

zero points.

Thinking of Kazama Yu's obvious lie about the last question, Osamu Dazai's brows and eyes softened a little, but there was still unspeakable suffocation and sadness.

"Lying so badly deserves zero points."

Treat his life as a game and his emotions as an experience.

Those who do these things will definitely be found by him, Osamu Dazai thought.

He looked sideways at the gradually revealed light, and in the end, he only silently agreed to Kazama Yu's last words.

"I remember the way home."

……

"I'll wait for you to come back."

You must come back.
