Conjuration Puppeteer

[The dead cannot be resurrected. ]

Hanyu Toku once firmly believed in this.

However, apart from himself, there is another incident of the resurrection of the dead—the former leader of the port mafia who had long died appeared in Yokohama and was resurrected again.

There is no doubt that the first person to panic must be Mori Ogai.After all, that guy's way of getting to the top is disgraceful, it's just a private doctor, it must be impossible to get to the top without relying on some means.

Hanyu Zhu didn't care about this matter, he was just an innocent kitten.

Because the sudden storm interrupted the battle, Chuya Nakahara was brought back to the port mafia in the end, which made Hanyu quite satisfied.

"Huh? Why is there a cat here?"

The black-haired man who just walked out of the room stopped at the window, and his eyes fell on Hanyu Candle.Han Yuzhu looked up at him, and quickly lowered his eyes, not bothering to pay attention to him.

"Mr. Lantang, this is the cat that Dazai-sama brought back." Guangjin Liulang said,

"It seems to be raised by the leader of the sheep, and it has been temporarily detained here."

"It's actually a fork-tailed cat...that's really strange."

The man named Lan Tang showed a bit of surprise on his face, he reached out his hand to touch it lightly, but was met with Hanyu Tokuro's death stare.

"This cat has a bad temper...Mr. Dazai has been scratched by him too, you'd better be careful." Guangjin Liulang reminded.

"That's really quite personal."

Lan Tang was silent for a while, but he still retracted his hand silently. He bent down, stared at the light golden pupil of the cat, and said curiously:

"What's your name?"

Hanyu Tokuro: ...What is the name of a cat you ask?Do you really think cats can talk? ?

"I remember his name should be Sayaka." Mori Ogai's voice came from behind,

"Although it's a fork-tailed cat, I don't think it will bring disaster... But it's really surprising. After all, the child has been away for so long, and this cat will appear again."

"So that's the case, is it the deceased's cat?" Lan Tang understood.

"He is a very good child, and his abilities are quite rare, what a pity..."

Ogai Mori walked to Tokuro Hanyu's side. Although he did have a pity expression on his face, Tokuro Hanyu [-]% didn't believe it was true.

"That's also fate." Lan Tang said softly.

Speaking of this cat... Toku Hanyu inexplicably remembered the original Sayaka.He could hardly remember when Sayaka appeared by his side, probably because he had never left him since he remembered Sayaka.Although it is a curse spirit, it is not much different from an ordinary cat, even more obedient and clingy.

But one thing is certain-his resurrection must have something to do with Sayaka's life experience.

"So, can we talk now?"

Watching Lantang and Hirotsu Liulang gradually walk away, Mori Ogai quietly stared out of the window, and suddenly said this.

[……What? ]

Hanyu was stunned.

"Convey your voice through the power of the spell, and I can hear what you say, Zhu."

Mori Ogai looked towards Hanyu Tokuro, with an unpredictable smile on his face,

"I know you're in its body."

Hanyu Zhu slightly widened his eyes.

……

Mori Ogai knew Hanyu Toku's secret.

But Tokuro Hanyu never knew anything about Mori Ogai.

"Long time no see, Zhu. I really want to have a cup of tea with you if I can."

On the well-lit balcony, the sea of ​​Yokohama lapped slightly against the coast, and the azure blue water was surrounded by subtle sunlight, giving it an inexplicably vibrant atmosphere.

That was the first time Hanyu Tokuro saw such a sea.In his impression, the sea has always been gloomy and dull, but looking at it from a new angle, the sea in Yokohama has completely changed.

[It is needless to say the polite words. ] Tokuro Hanyu tried to build a connection with Mori Ogai with mana,

[Why do you know my identity? ]

"This is..."

Mori Ogai deliberately elongated his voice, and his eyes tilted to the side, as if with some deep meaning,

"Does Zhu think I look familiar?"

[...Can you get rid of your problem of speaking well and not being around the corner? ]

"Hahahaha, you also know that a person's speaking habits are not so easy to change." Mori Ogai laughed,

"I do know one of your relatives. Although I was surprised when I first found out, we have met before."

[......]

seen before? ?

Hanyu Tokuro recalled his childhood memories a little bit, but he didn't capture a certain black-haired middle-aged man from them.

[Can not remember. ]

He replied decisively.

[However, I do remember another person, the one with the gray wolf tail, who seems to be very good at swordsmanship, and I remember him teaching me how to hold a knife. ]

So Mori Ogai's face quickly showed a rather hurt expression.

"It's too much, to remember that guy doesn't even remember me... This hurts me so much."

[Maybe because I yearned for samurai costumes when I was a child, after all, I also like swords very much. ]

"Did Zhu's childhood dream be to become a warrior?"

[warrior?No. ]

Hanyu paused for a moment, then continued:

[Actually, I hate all sweaty sports. I was very interested in knives because I was reading related books at that time.My childhood dream was to be a novelist. ]

"novelist?"

[Perhaps it was influenced by that guy. ] Hanyu said,

[But then he disappeared, and something happened to my mother, and I probably haven't thought about [the novelist] in a long time. ]

"It's really a pity." Mori Ogai sighed,

"I still wanted to keep you."

[Keep me?Has your brain been hit by Osamu Dazai? ] Hanyu felt a little funny,

[Without any ability, not even a human body, what can I do to help you?I don't think you would use someone who is meaningless. ]

"Tokuta underestimates his own value." Mori Ogai laughed,

"Even if he turns into a cat, Zhu will definitely be stronger than ordinary people. I have always believed that, and Zhu is also my teacher's junior, so I have to take care of it anyway."

[…your what? ? ]

"My teacher is also the creator and original ruler of the city's order, the gentleman who is respected by all supernatural beings and high-level government officials, Mr. Natsume Soseki."

……

Although I roughly guessed it, it is still a bit unbelievable to say it from Mori Ogai's mouth.

"Although you may not have noticed me, we have met." Mori Ogai said,

"So I still feel very sad that you didn't recognize me when we met."

[……is that so? ] Hanyu is at a loss.

"And you actually remember Fukuzawa Yukichi... This hurts me too much. It seems that I really don't like children." Mori Ogai showed a sad expression.

[Let's put that matter aside for now. ] Hanyu is indifferent,

[Do you know how I can change back?And my spell ability, if I can't come back, then I will give up. ]

"Of course I can come back, but I need to use some special means." Mori Ogai laughed,

"Presumably that adult also knew about your body a long time ago, so he arranged for [Sayaka] to stay by your side early."

[You know about Sayaka? ]

"Yes, it is said that it is a super-level curse spirit that can store soul power. After being tamed, it will stay by the contractor's side. Although it is only heard, but now I can see it with my own eyes."

[......]

In other words, that guy had already prepared everything for himself before he left, and he knew how to unravel his curse, but he never told himself?

Why didn't he tell himself?

What's the point of hiding it? ?

If it was before, he might be angry and angry, and blame him for not telling him such information.But now he doesn't have such an idea.

People who have died once seem to have lost their desire/desire for everything in the world, and their hearts are inexplicably peaceful.

"However, it is the magic power that supports your actions. You need to absorb the magic power to be able to return to human form faster."

[you mean……]

"Contacting people with powerful spells can quickly restore your human form." Mori Ogai said.

It turned out to be the case.

Hanyu Candle understood.

Get in touch with someone with strong spell power, absorb the spell power from the opponent...

It sounds like something is wrong.

"Of course, it takes luck to meet a powerful and trustworthy conjurer. If you don't mind, you can go around and try your luck. You can come back anytime... If you want to stay in the port mafia, here is also There must be a place for you."

Mori Ogai stretched out his hand, and lightly placed it on Hanyu Tokuro's head, the corners of his mouth slightly raised,

"After all, didn't Zhu always want to have a place to call [home]?"

Hanyu was silent.

Indeed, he did have such an idea in the past.He hoped for a place to go back to, but it was inexplicably weird when these words came out of Mori Ogai's mouth.

——When did that guy become the setting of the old father?Doesn't fit at all! !

[Slightly, a little gross. ]

Hanyu Tokuro glanced at Mori Ogai indifferently, his expression full of disgust.

"Don't be like that, I still like candles very much." Mori Ogai smiled,

"Maybe I am indeed a person who likes to lie, but this is the only thing I didn't lie about. Since [Hanyu Tokuro] is dead, you have already escaped from that predicament. You are already a free person, aren't you? ?"

……

Yes, he is obviously a free person.

So what exactly is he up to?

Although he thought about this question at first, Hanyu felt a little at a loss when the question really became clear.

—at least not to join the port mafia, that's for sure.

[I gotta go. ]

Hanyu Tokuro jumped off the table, and he glanced at the sea of ​​Yokohama again, the azure blue that he had never noticed surged under his eyes, with a bit of inexplicable attraction.

【Did you see different scenes because of different angles...】

So, if he can also change his perspective, will he also be able to see a completely different scenery?
