Humanoid self-propelled wishing machine

While they were working secretly, the crepes were also made.

The crispy crepes are squeezed with snow-white whipped cream and decorated with colorful fruit pieces. It is a bright dessert that is very popular with children.

"Here, take it, be careful it's hot."

The crepe was wrapped in paper and handed to Reo Tsushima. He held it with both hands, raised his head and thanked the uncle who already had fine lines at the corners of his eyes obediently, "Thank you, uncle."

Reyo Tsushima turned around and passed the crepe up first, saying, "Brother, eat first."

Dazai Osamu did not refuse Rei Tsushima's kindness, he squatted down and took a small bite of the crepe. He praised, "It's delicious, let Reo have a taste too."

"Okay." Reo Tsushima replied, because she was afraid that the fresh cream would melt and drip down, she stretched out her bright red tongue like eating ice cream, first rolled the cream into her mouth and ate it, and then revealed a little bit of whiteness like a shell His teeth gnawed at the thin and crispy crust around him, eating with all his heart, as cute and soft as a bunny.

Reo Tsushima ate with his head down. He lowered his eyes slightly to cover his clear black pupils, only the slender eyelashes poked out, casting a shadow like a small fan.

Looking at it from Mori Ogai's point of view, it was an expression with downcast eyebrows and a bit of melancholy.

There seemed to be an imperceptible small electric current flowing through his brain, which gradually caused a strange sense of familiarity in his heart. Although it came inexplicably, it was hard to ignore.

[I seem to have seen the same scene somewhere. ]

Mori Ogai couldn't remember for a while.

Or give him a little more time to observe the appearance of Tsushima Reo, Mori Ogai can find Dazai Osamu and Tsushima Reo, the two of them have similar faces because of their blood relationship.

Dazai Osamu and Tsushima Reo are twin brothers born on the same day, but they are fraternal twins. They are different in hair color, eye color and facial features. This is also the appearance of Dazai Osamu when he was young. The reason why Mori Ogai failed to recognize Tsushima Reo's identity in the first place.

But the same blood flows in their bodies, and they also spent their childhood in a decadent and oppressive feudal family. No matter how much they hate that disgusting family, their bodies are still inevitably engraved and cannot be erased. It is a trace belonging to Mr. Tsushima.

The eyebrows, the corners of the eyes, the reserved expression with slightly pursed lips, the dignified figure when walking, the soft and slow tone when speaking, and the loneliness, indifference and xenophobia that are integrated into their bones.

It will cause people to involuntarily overlap their expressions at a certain moment when they see them by chance, and a strange sense of déjà vu arises.

But that was just a weird feeling that faded away like a flash of inspiration.

Osamu Dazai interrupted Mori Ogai's thoughts, and said with a smile, "If there is nothing else, we will leave first, Mr. Mori." He seemed to be helplessly picking up the heavy shopping bag in his hand , "There are still a lot of things to take home and sort out."

Mori Ogai, whose thoughts were interrupted, diverted his attention, and nodded with a smirk, "I'm really sorry to take up your time, but Dazai-kun, I will let you go today, please come back to work tomorrow." He complained, "There are too few people who can be used under his command, ah, why do all the talented people go to other places?"

"You really know how to squeeze people, Mr. Mori, why don't you let me go... Today and tomorrow are both weekends." Osamu Dazai dragged his voice, and said reluctantly, "He is simply a black-hearted capitalist. .”

Even if there are passers-by who don't know why, they can't hear the strange words, but Mori Ogai's meaning has been completely conveyed to Osamu Dazai.

[I won't pursue that kid anymore, but in exchange, you'll get back to work. ]

"Okay, I got it." Osamu Dazai said, looking down at Reo Tsushima who was still biting the crepe seriously, the expression between his brows and eyes softened for a moment, "However, before that, I need to find someone who can entrust this child to him with peace of mind."

.

"——So, that's it." Osamu Dazai said with slanted eyebrows, "Can this child please you, Odasaku?"

Early the next morning, Osamu Dazai and Reo Tsushima knocked on the door of a slightly old second-hand apartment, unceremoniously begging the owner who came to open the door.

Even for people like Osamu Dazai, there are one or two who can be called friends, and the wine-red haired man named Oda Saku is one of them.

His real name is actually Oda Sakunosuke. He used to be a killer when he was a teenager. After he decided not to kill any more, because he didn't learn other skills and didn't have a formal identity document, he could only join the port mafia and rely on the bottom. Do some odd jobs like dismantling duds and collecting corpses to make money to support the family.

Dazai Osamu and Oda Sakunosuke met at a speakeasy called Lupine.

People immersed in the dark are not so particular. It doesn't matter whether they are minors or adults. As long as they can find a place and pay for it, they can get the comfort of alcohol.

If you want to say when Osamu Dazai started drinking, maybe even he himself can't remember clearly.

It’s just that during the most difficult time, he was pulled back and forth between the longing for death and the faint hope of happiness. He had a splitting headache and couldn’t sleep. He heard people say that after dying drunk, he could forget everything and have a good night’s sleep. So I went to try it.

The man didn't lie to him, he was telling the truth.

The body soaked in alcohol is as light and comfortable as being in a cloud, and the mind is dizzy, with gorgeous light and shadow overlapping in front of the eyes, and after a while, it will fall into a deep sleep like a coma, and it will be pulled into the dark world. In dreamland.

Since then, he has been drinking frequently, often drinking one cup after another until he passed out of drunkenness, and just makes do with the night on the bar counter of the bar, sleeping for a few hours as long as he can a couple of hours.

Oda Sakunosuke appeared at that time.

He patted Osamu Dazai on the shoulder to wake him up, and the first thing he said to him was, "This sleeping position is not good for the cervical spine, you'd better go home and sleep."

Osamu Dazai was in a daze, and it took half a beat before he understood the meaning of Oda Sakunosuke. He was inexplicably poked at the point of laughter, and laughed loudly under the stimulation of the residual alcohol, until he accidentally coughed into the corner of his eyes It got wet and stopped.

"Hahahahahahahahahahaha, cough, cough, cough..." Osamu Dazai took a breath and took a deep breath, then turned his head to look at Sakunosuke Oda, the corners of his eyes dizzy with crimson, and he was dripping with physiological tears. There was still some misty drunkenness in the pupils of his eyes, he raised his hand unsteadily, pointed at Oda Sakunosuke with his index finger rudely, the corners of his mouth were raised, with a contemptuous, indistinct look Smiling, he said, "You are quite interesting."

And Oda Sakunosuke just looked at Dazai Osamu, with a confused expression, and said, "Interesting? I don't think I'm interesting... But I'll accept it as a compliment, thank you."

He still had such a flat and unwavering expression on his face, and he brought the topic back, "So you should go home and sleep." His tone was very sincere, "Sleeping on your stomach is really bad for your cervical spine."

This is their first encounter.

After listening to Osamu Dazai's request, Oda Sakunosuke looked down at Reo Tsushima who was looking up at him.

The immature child was looking at him curiously with his black pearl-like pupils. Seeing that Oda Sakunosuke was also looking back, he smiled brightly without any haze. The baby hidden in those white cheeks The fat piled up softly like a cloud.

His voice was also clear and light, "It's the first time we meet, please take care of me!"

"Ah, my name is Oda Sakunosuke, please take care of me." Oda Sakunosuke said to Tsushima Reo, raised his head again, and said to Dazai Osamu, "Stay with the children in the boss's curry shop. Is it okay?" He tried his best to help Osamu Dazai, but he also pointed out his embarrassment in advance, "I also have to go out to work during the day."

"Hey - can Oda Saku not go to work?" Osamu Dazai said in a somewhat reluctant tone. In front of Oda Sakunosuke, he was not as reliable and trustworthy as he was in front of Tsushima Reo .

On the contrary, some young people of this age have recovered their normal nature, showing a slightly willful and lively appearance.

"No." Oda Sakunosuke flatly rejected Dazai Osamu's request and explained, "If you don't work, you won't be paid."

"Isn't it fine if I pay you?" Osamu Dazai said without changing his face, as if he was supporting a little boy, "As long as you can stay at home with Lian Yang at ease."

"No," Oda Sakunosuke's expression did not change at all, and he said seriously, "I have not passed the relevant qualification certificates, and to be honest, I am not very good at getting along with children. If I get this salary, my conscience will be disturbed. It would be more suitable for me to do the job of dismantling bombs and collecting corpses."

"Okay." Osamu Dazai compromised, "Then can we install a surveillance camera in the boss's house? I can also see Lianyang's condition when I want to work."

Odasaku thought for a while and said, "I'll try to mention it to the boss, if he agrees, it's fine."

"Ah, by the way, there are also bugs, bulletproof glass, steel plate walls, infrared sirens, automatic shooting rifles that can be controlled remotely, and double-opening stainless steel vault doors. By the way, can you also ask if you can install them?" Dazai Osamu broke Pointing with his fingers, he asked.

"I think it's probably not possible." Oda Sakunosuke said, "If you want to install so many things, you need to close the business for a while for renovation, right? It will delay the boss's business."

"Haha, that's right, you can't bring trouble to the boss." Osamu Dazai thought about it, and gave up regretfully.

"Then just install the monitors and bugs. I've already brought everything here! You know how to install these things, Odasaku?"

"Well, when I'm helping with odd jobs, I occasionally encounter the need to install a monitor. As long as the device is not too complicated, it should be able to be installed." Oda Saku took the monitor and the matching radio device handed over by Osamu Dazai I looked around and determined the model number.

"Anyway, go ask the boss first." Oda Sakunosuke made such a suggestion, he looked at the time and said, "If you stand here any longer, you will be late for work whether it is me or Dazai."

He still had the same indifferent and calm expression on his face, and said seriously, "It's not good to be late for work."
