When the book cafe got off work, it was almost dusk. Kazama Yu packed up his things and took care of the kittens. When he went out from work, he met a pair of familiar eyes under the eaves opposite the book cafe.

Osamu Dazai stood there, smiling at him with his eyes bent.

He seemed to have been waiting for a long time, maintaining a leaning posture against the wall behind him, lazily like a cat in the book cafe that Kazama Yu took care of, and the bandages of the cat's hair were a little dirty.

He looked at Kazama Yu, smiled and waved his hands: "Hey, what a coincidence, I can see you here——."

When Osamu Dazai waved it, he was holding his mobile phone in his hand. The doll, which had rough needlework and looked a little old due to long-term use, was shaking.

It was clearly dusk, but it was even more dazzling than the sun seen in the early morning.

Osamu Dazai said: "It's fate to meet you here, do you want to go to see the sea together?"

Reason tells Kazama Yu that he should refuse, the more he relies on, the more he will expose too much, and he will be more and more likely to be targeted by the hunters who come to this world.Because they will have a heavy breath that belongs to Kazama Yu.

Even now that the restriction in the soul has been removed and obliterated by the power extracted from the system, Kazama Yu still hasn't told those stories.

Maybe Dazai Osamu's gaze was too gentle at this moment, or maybe the orange light spreading out from the dim sky was too confusing, and by some strange coincidence, Kazama Yu accepted the invitation.

The sea in Yokohama is not too far from the location of the book cafe. It was not completely dark when they walked side by side. The warm light spread on this layer of sea water, shimmering brightly, as if it was a night sky. The stars were plucked from the sky, ground into fine powder, and scattered into the sea.

The seabirds circled and spread their wings, enjoying the breath of the wind and chasing freedom.

Kazama Yu had already begun to regret agreeing to the invitation.

But fortunately, the world's contract was established, and the ocean didn't respond in any way.

It's just that Dazai Osamu's gaze behind him was a little burning.

In fact, Kazama Yu didn't particularly resent the agent who killed Oda Sakunosuke at the beginning. He disturbed the other party first by taking action himself. The failure of the mission would lead to obliteration, and the other party was just trying to survive.

Later, he inquired about the current situation of the agent intentionally or unintentionally, but when he saw the status of [mission failed, sent back to the original world] on the screen presented by the system, his fingertips froze on the screen.

Agents are a very sad existence. They obliterate their conscience and ego to complete the task in order to survive their own wishes, but everything is just a deception.

Failure is obliteration, success is continuation, this is an unsolvable road.

"Many, many people have been buried in this sea area, and the neighbor next door often throws some rubbish here." Osamu Dazai's words brought Kazama Yu back to the status quo. His words were calm and light, but nothing more than To discredit the neighbor next door.

The waves on the seashore were a little fierce, and the splashed water splashed on Osamu Dazai's face with a bang.

Kazama Yu felt that Hai Yang must be quietly scolding Osamu Dazai at this moment.

It's not a trash can.

Osamu Dazai covered his face as if he was very used to it, squatted down and wiped his face.Then he pulled Kazama Yu's sleeve behind him to signal him to sit down and watch the sea together.

"I always like to come here to watch the sea in my spare time." Osamu Dazai said, "This is also a place I like to die for love."

Kazama Yu frowned: "How can a person die for love?"

When he left, in order to prevent Dazai Osamu from committing suicide one day and successfully drowning in the sea, he also gave him the blessing of the sea god.

Perhaps this is also a kind of torture for Osamu Dazai.

"Of course it was a martyrdom." Osamu Dazai stretched out his fingertips to his lips, and he moved his body to get very close to Kazama Yu, "My lover was buried in this ocean, flesh and blood All dissolved in the mother who gave birth to him."

So if he dies here, will he be able to sink to the deepest point, at least be able to leave his flesh and blood by the side of his loved one?

But he can't die.

The heart beating in the water-like mermaid's chest was cold, frozen ice.

"Oh..." Kazama Yu replied dryly, he didn't start to avoid getting too close to each other, "You...sorry."

The time he has traveled through the four worlds together can reach hundreds or thousands of years.The human mind can't hold too much stuff.He remembers promising to come back, and remembers the doll and "mermaid tears", but there are also parts that he will forget.

For example here.

He finally remembered.

This is the port where Osamu Dazai was sent back when the mermaid died.

Dazai Osamu's eyes are hard to meet, because you don't know what he is looking for from you, and you don't know what is thinking in his eyes.Anyone standing in front of him will have the illusion of being seen through.

In the stalemate and silence, Osamu Dazai suddenly spoke.

"—"

——Do you think the ocean looks good today?

A strange ballad-like tone rolled out of his throat, but he was as clear as the most normal conversation, and the tail of the voice rose slightly, as if he was humming a song.

Kazama Yu didn't let go of his spirit much, and he replied reflexively when the other party spoke.

"I feel good……"

Before the last word could be completely uttered, Kazama Yu suddenly stopped, and suddenly stuck everything in his throat, and he was stunned together with his thoughts, but those things that were released had been completely received down.

Just now it was...

The language of the mermaids.

It is the ancient language that the mermaid sang blessings when he left for the first time, the words he said when he swore an oath to the ocean and asked the ocean to give it to Osamu Dazai.

The ocean is still stable and rippling with layers of waves, but the sea in Dazai Osamu's heart is turbulent.He turned his head back with a smile, the sky that had begun to dim overwhelmed the only remaining light in his eyes.

Osamu Dazai got very close, and the breath from his breath fell warmly on the edge of Kazama Yu's neck, moved up faintly and landed on his ear, it was so itchy that people dared not move.

"You understand." He said, "Mr. Hojo, can you tell me why you can understand the language that only one creature in the world can understand?"

"And as far as I know, the only number of such creatures in the world is—zero."

……

As soon as Ji Guoyuan chose to settle here, all the nearby ghost killing tasks were entrusted to him.When he returned home under the moonlight, he was still thinking about how to meet his neighbor the next day, but what he saw was the man and his neighbor on the way to the hotel.

He was wearing a beige long trench coat with white bandages wrapped around his body.Ji Guoyuan is familiar with him, he is a member of the Armed Detective Agency, and he is also a very famous existence.

But what made him frown was that the man was standing in front of the wall, and his outstretched hand lay beside Kazama Yu, firmly restraining him.

He wanted to go over and pull Kazama Yu out, but reason told him to stop.Because he is not qualified to take care of the other party's affairs now, and Kazama Yu doesn't seem... full of disgust.

Kazama Yu really wasn't disgusted, he just had a headache and wished he could go back to the past and sew his mouth shut.

The mermaid's language is equivalent to something engraved into his soul, because the divinity of the Son of Sea God still has a part in his soul.When Dazai Osamu said that sentence, it was automatically converted in his ears.

He realized in an instant that there was no way to hide it, but he still answered the other party bravely: "You should know that you have checked my information. I have been traveling for a long time. I learned this in a place that believes in the sea god. language."

He looked into each other's eyes: "The world is big, not just Yokohama. There are many things in the world beyond your imagination."

Osamu Dazai did not choose to deny and expose him this time, but shrugged his shoulders and withdrew his slightly aggressive gaze.

Afterwards, the atmosphere became a bit awkward. Dazai Osamu was still thinking about saying something, but Kazamaha, who had suffered a loss and was caught in a trap, adopted a negative attitude, thinking carefully about every sentence before replying.

When he was about to arrive at the hotel, Kazama Yu nodded at Osamu Dazai and signaled him to send him here, he didn't want to reveal his residence.

Osamu Dazai also stopped in obedience, and just asked in a low voice when he was about to say goodbye: "The world is indeed big, and I want to understand it too. Would you mind teaching me that strange language, Mr. Hojo?"

He is much taller than Kazama Yu, and at this moment, he lowered his head, bent his body, and looked at each other with relative eyes, and stretched out his hand to catch Kazama Yu who wanted to run away quickly, and grabbed it back and leaned against the wall , pressing his hands beside him: "After all, I only learned a few sentences, but I still like this language very much."

Kazama Yu pursed his lips, and the way to leave was completely blocked as far as he could see: "I am not familiar with this language, so I am not suitable to be your teacher."

"It doesn't matter." Osamu Dazai said, "I think Teacher Hojo is very suitable. You don't need to go too far, I just come to the book cafe to find you."

book cafe.

If the workplace is leaked, it will be blocked by the other party, let alone the residence.Kazama Yu thought, luckily he moved ahead of time and locked himself up.

He quite likes the life of a book cafe, and has no plans to resign for the time being.It is also impossible for him to violate the original intention of his life in order to dodge.After all, living like that is too tiring.

He planned not to stay in Yokohama, but Yokohama is the center of gravity of world integration, so Kazama Ha has to watch here.Because the first step for the hunters must be to appear in Yokohama.

Kazama Yu also shouldered the task of getting rid of them.

When Kazama Yu was finally thinking about answering, a hand reached out from where he could see and grabbed his arm, pulling him out of the shackles and crashing into him. Another warm embrace.

The opponent's hot palm pressed against his head to comfort him, but his fiery eyes turned around and fell on Osamu Dazai's outstretched hand.

Ji Guoyuan finally couldn't help but walked over, his scrutiny took root on Osamu Dazai: "Who are you?"

When the other party was about to grab Kazama Yu, Osamu Dazai did not choose to back down this time. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Kazama Yu's other hand, holding it firmly without letting go, so that Kazama Yu had only half of his body. The body was protected in Ji Guo Yuanyi's arms.

Osamu Dazai narrowed his eyes: "I am his student."

The kind in the future tense.

He asked again: "Who are you?"

Ji Guoyuanyi: "I'm his neighbor."

The present tense kind.

Kazama Feather: ...

But no neighbors and students would do such a thing, would they?
