cat blues

After finishing the work at the police station in the afternoon, Oda Sakunosuke took Nakahara Nakaya back home early. The two children in the family were newcomers. The situation is different with him and Zhong.

Yosano Akiko has been imprisoned for a long time, so she has a fear of the outside world, while the other Dazai Osamu is even more dangerous than Yosano.Although he heard that in the morning, Oda Sakunosuke still felt that this child seemed to want to do something very dangerous.

Even if it's just a child, if Dazai is really determined to do something, Mr. Yukichi probably has no way to stop him.

Why is that child so lonely?I hope Mr. Yukichi can get closer to this child more or less.

Oda Sakunosuke handed the fresh crabs he bought to Yukichi Maomao, "Can we eat this tonight?"

However, Yuji Maomao definitely replied him with a no-go gesture.

"Hey? Why?" Oda Sakunosuke was curious.

"Crab meat is cold in nature, and eating too many times in a short period of time is not good for the stomach." After all, he has been a doctor for a while, and Yosano Akiko has a better understanding of this aspect than Oda Sakunosuke, who does not have much common sense. "Mr. Yuji probably rejected you because he knew this, right?"

"Really, I'm a little sorry." Oda Sakunosuke shook his head, but didn't say anything.

"That's why I told you not to buy this thing." Zhongya, who followed from the side, put another bag of vegetables in his hand on the counter.

"Hey, does Chuya know this too?" Although the sentence structure is interrogative, the content that comes out of Oda Sakunosuke's mouth gives off a subtle declarative feel.

"I don't understand. I just know that Mr. Yukichi has never let a food appear at home three times in a row." Chuya crossed his arms and said helplessly, "Have you forgotten? In the past, Mr. Yukichi still wanted to eat food." If you want to make nutritious meals for us, if you and Mr. Ranpo have both expressed their refusal... Are nutritious meals really bad?"

As Zhong also said, he couldn't help showing a pensive expression.

"It's hard to eat..." Akiko Yosano, who had eaten the nutritious meal prepared by the nursing home for a long time, drooped her eyelids slightly.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Although he didn't know what he said wrong and stepped on the thunder, Chuya apologized immediately.

"No, it's nothing." Yosano Akiko wiped her face with her hand, and soon cheered up, "It's because it's so bad, so I don't want to eat that kind of tasteless and dry stuff in the future!"

"It sounds really bad." Oda Sakunosuke nodded knowingly.

"That's right, it's super bad!" Yosano Akiko said again with certainty.

Seeing that the three of them got together and talked without hindrance, Osamu Dazai, who was propping his face with his hands, was smiling, but he didn't have the slightest intention to get up and get together with them.

However, at this moment, Oda Sakunosuke suddenly turned his head and asked Yukichi Maomao who was sorting these bags: "So, can you really not eat crabs at night? It's just a day, so it shouldn't matter?"

The smile on Osamu Dazai's face suddenly froze.

Yuji Maomao hesitated for a while, then came over and stretched out the fluffy cat pad and gently touched the boy's forehead. He felt that there was no abnormality in temperature, and then looked at the boy's face, which was completely expressionless at this time. With no expression of like or dislike, he nodded the big cat's head, and then gave Oda Sakunosuke a cross.

"This means it's okay tonight, but not tomorrow." Chuya Nakahara explained.

Yuji Maomao nodded, indicating that Zhong Ye was right.

"Well, Mr. Yukichi is right, you really can't eat the same food for a long time." Oda Sakunosuke nodded.

"I..." Osamu Dazai was about to say something when Oda Sakunosuke had already walked to his side.

"Do you want to go to the study room? Mr. Fukuzawa has quite a collection of books." Oda Sakunosuke said, as if he didn't see his strange face, he pulled him to the study room on the other side.

The teenagers and girls in the living room looked at each other, and Zhong Ye took the lead in asking, "Want to play a game together?"

"Game?" Yosano Akiko was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously.

Zhong also took out a game console and two controllers from under the cabinet of the TV. After turning on the game console, he returned to the sofa with a few discs and showed the game discs to Yosano Akiko, "This is still Mr. Yukichi bought it. Ranpo-san doesn't like word games, he thinks it's too stupid. For Oda...it's okay to play other games with him, but you always lose when you play fighting games with him. What game do you like? ?”

"For me, anything is fine." When I was young, I played GBA and other things with my classmates, and I never touched a game console since then. She laughed with Yosano Akiko. Some clumsy but gentle kindness, she had a good laugh.All this is exactly as what Mr. Ranpo and Mr. Fukuzawa said, she came to a place that does not need her supernatural power, but only needs her gentleness.

Oda Sakunosuke and Dazai Osamu sat in the study and read a book. The two of them didn't talk much after they entered the study, but simply sat and read together. During the period, Yukichi Maomao gave them refreshments once.

When the sun turned to the west, Oda Sakunosuke brought Osamu Dazai, who had been quiet all afternoon, to the living room. Before they got to the living room, they heard the sound of some demons dancing wildly.

"This way, this way!"

"Ah, I'm going to hang up, I'm going to hang up."

"I told you to go here!"

"Don't quarrel, let Mr. Yuji come by himself!"

Oda Sakunosuke opened the paper door, and saw Yukichi Black Cat and Yosano Akiko playing games together with a cat and a game controller, and Edogawa Ranpo and Nakahara Nakaya were lying on the back of the sofa behind them. I express my opinion in a word.

Yuji Maomao is very nervous, its paws are very sensitive to many things, but it is really the first time to play a game, and it is still this kind of real-time action game.The more it wants to press the buttons to operate the character's movements, the more nervous it becomes, causing the two flexible cat paws to become extremely stiff.

"Enemy general, please!" Yosano Akiko cheered, and it was her side that dealt with the enemy faster, which allowed Yuji Maomao over there to survive safely.

Yujimaomao was so nervous that he was almost out of breath. He shook his head vigorously, put the game controller back on the coffee table, and jumped up deftly, fully expressing that he didn't want to play this game anymore.

"So let me do it!" Edogawa Ranpo said before sitting down and picking up the game controller.

"Ranbu, it's almost done." Fukuzawa Yukichi put down the newspaper in his hand and said, "I've been playing for almost two hours."

"Hey... okay." Although he made a complaining voice, the boy still got up and turned off the game machine, and at the same time he didn't forget to say to the girl beside him, "Jing Zichan, the game at home can only be played for two hours a day." .”

After the other party responded with a smile and nodded, Edogawa Ranpo nodded in satisfaction.

Nakaya is used to his reactions, it would be nice to let him take the initiative to turn off the power of the game console, and he can’t count on other things. He put away the game controller and everything, and then looked at Sakunosuke Oda who walked in With Osamu Dazai, "Eat curry crab at night."

Oda Sakunosuke could already smell the strong aroma of curry before he walked in, "Mr. Yukichi, thank you."

Yuji Maomao replied him with a cat's rub.

After rubbing Oda, Yukichi Maomao went to rub Dazai Osamu who was calmer, and then went to the kitchen, poured the last coconut milk into the pot, and continued to cook on low heat.

In the middle of the night, Osamu Dazai came out like a ghost. He went to the living room, but saw a big black cat nesting here under the bright moonlight. The big cat was lying on the weaving table and sleeping soundly. But in front of the cat, a bracelet with complicated stripes had already been woven, and was caught in the cat's paws.

Sitting on the sofa beside him, Osamu Dazai looked at the big cat who was sleeping in the dark, but couldn't help but put his hands on his forehead and let out a dull low smile.

"Dazai?" Oda Sakunosuke passed by the living room and saw this scene, and looked at him strangely, "What's wrong with you?"

"Oda?" Dazai Osamu showed a somewhat surprised expression, "Why do you..."

"Oh. I suddenly thought of an idea before going to sleep, and then I couldn't help getting up and going to the study to write a novel. I accidentally fell asleep in the study." Oda Sakunosuke said, reaching out and rubbing his cheeks, There are still ink marks on his face, which are very clear in the moonlight.

Osamu Dazai was helpless because of various reasons. He shook his head and looked down at the big cat sleeping on the knitting table. With such a complicated pattern, the cat must have been working non-stop in the afternoon, and it would still work at night. The result of staying up all night knitting, "Why are you being so nice to me?"

"Because Dazai is a good boy." Oda Sakunosuke said in an almost natural tone.

"Really..." Osamu Dazai sighed, "You..." Why can you say such things so naturally?

"Besides, Yukichi-san likes you very much too." Oda Sakunosuke walked over and sat beside him, looking at the black cat in front of him together, "That's fine."

Osamu Dazai was speechless, and after a while he asked slowly: "Hey, Oda-kun, do you think life is meaningful?"

"I don't know, but I think there should be." Oda Sakunosuke said seriously, "I once read a very wonderful novel, and that book directly changed my life."

"From that book, I learned one thing. People live to find salvation for themselves. If they can't find it, try to save others." Oda Sakunosuke's voice was very steady, just like As quiet as moonlight, "I don't know if this matter can become something meaningful to you, but since you are confused, why not try to do something well?"

"Oda Tsukuru, I will call you Oda Tsukuru from now on!" The young man who had been quiet for a long time suddenly opened his mouth, but what he said was irrelevant.

"Okay..." The young man who didn't mind having such a nickname nodded.

"I'm going to bed!" Osamu Dazai turned around and ran away. Before he ran away, he glanced sideways at the other side of the sliding door in the living room, but the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.

"Be careful, don't run around." Oda Sakunosuke finally stood up and walked out of the living room, and saw Fukuzawa Yukichi standing in the dark with his hands in his sleeves not far away, "President?"

"Well, go back and rest." The silver-haired man who came out to look for the cat in the middle of the night walked over, dragged his cat up, and carried it back to the room.
