Drowning in a sea of ​​moonlight

The wind chime at the door swayed at a range that would not make a sound.

The curtains of the living room are drawn, and in the dim light, everything seems to be lazy, and the bamboo cushions are warmed by the afternoon sun, which makes people feel a little satiated and tired.

After eating and drinking enough, several children lay on their own beds, and soon became so sleepy that they could hardly keep their eyes open.

...After they heard that Dazai and I were going to the Yokohama amusement park, the stalking finally turned the original two into a nine, and then fell asleep contentedly.

For some reason, I can't be happier to see them sleeping happily now.

"I haven't had a nap in years."

Sakaguchi lowered his head and looked at the temporary bedding on the floor of the living room, showing excited eyes.

"...Wow, Ango is so pathetic that I can't even laugh."

Dazai said sympathetically, he fell down on a bedroll in the middle, rolled over a few times, then raised his head to grab my trousers.

I unfolded the quilt next to him in a gentle manner, lay down in it, and hugged Dazai's quilt roll that was rolling towards me.

The quilt roll giggled, and I stripped the person inside two or three times, rolled it into my quilt, and held it tightly in my arms.

He twisted his body, found a suitable position, put his chin on my shoulder, and breathed out comfortably.

Sakaguchi and Oda also lay down at this time, and Oda said: "Then good afternoon."

Sakaguchi said: "Good afternoon, everyone. I have set the alarm clock, and please wake me up no matter what I say."

"Okay, don't worry. Good afternoon, Oda-san, Sakaguchi-san."

"Good afternoon, Odasaku, Ango~"

"...Or let him sleep for a while, he looks very painful." Oda said worriedly.

"Naping...how blissful...I don't want to get up, give me my nap."

Sakaguchi said painfully in a half-dream and half-awake state.

"But it's time, Mr. Sakaguchi."

I said grimly, ripping off his quilt in his desperate resistance.

"Ahahaha!! I didn't expect to get so much happiness from Ango! My joke this year depends on your performance today, please struggle again—"

Dazai said, holding up the phone, holding back his smile, showing a very concerned and distressed expression, "Look, you haven't had a decent nap in several years, how can you give up this opportunity so easily—"

"...I'm sorry I've woken up, Dazai-kun."

Sakaguchi sat up expressionlessly with his disheveled hair, and stared at Dazai with slightly out-of-focus eyes before putting on his glasses.

Then issued a complaint of crying blood every word.

"Can you please have a little compassion for me, a person who is dedicated to my work, and even if I don't talk about it, I can be considered your friend! Let me feel a little friendship from you!! "

"Ah, Ango really hurts my heart by saying that, don't you know that this is the most sincere way for me to express my friendship~?

It is precisely because I regard you as a friend that I care about you so much and fight for you to take a nap~? "

"Who would believe it? Please stop talking nonsense, and there are so many pitfalls that I don't know where to start—"

"Wuwu, I'm so wholeheartedly for your own good, how can I be talking nonsense, my heart is broken——"

"Your Majesty."

Sakaguchi said very tiredly.

"Please take care of Dazai-kun. I'm tired of complaining. I'm really tired."

"...Okay, Xiuzhi-kun. If you don't start, it will be too late."

Reluctantly, I wrapped my arms around Dazai's waist.

He stuck out his tongue, leaned into my arms all of a sudden, sighed in my ear, with a bored face: "...Well, if Ango doesn't complain desperately, it will be boring Well. Let's go and get the five little kids up."

"In the end, I was rejected again." Sakaguchi watched our backs, and said very calmly, Oda patted him on the shoulder to show comfort: "It's okay, Ango, they still like you very much. Maybe it's just a show It’s just a little bit weird.”

"Oh! Amusement park!"

"Yay! Roller coaster!"

"Wow! Big grasshopper!"

"I want to go home and read."

This is the impression of several children standing in the amusement park.

They seemed to care more about the ice cream sold on the roadside than the project, and after we bought it, they ran after us frantically.

Dazai held a peppermint flavored one that he bought with his children ("Oh, it's a pity that there is no crabmeat flavor~"), and we walked side by side on the sunny street in the spring afternoon, watching the surroundings running like crazy The other children, and Yaoyao's helpless parents followed behind.

"The weather is great."

Oda raised his head and let out a seemingly unconscious exclamation.

"Speaking of which, it's the first time I've been to this kind of place. The children were brought to play by the uncle of the foreign restaurant a long time ago."

"Me too. If you don't count the one time Mr. Mori forced you to come and wait outside."

"...Me too. I was recruited by the authorities a long time ago, and before that, I never had the opportunity to come here."

(I silently thought: I was the only one who was dragged by Mr. Golding to the amusement park with Donna Alisha when I was very young, is it better to shut up?)

Looking sideways at the crowd around him slightly, Sakaguchi continued.

"In general, although it is still far from the ideal situation. However, today's children can play like this—"

"It really makes people feel that everything they do is meaningful. Mr. Sakaguchi thinks so, too."

I said with a smile.

Sakaguchi took a deep look at me and laughed too, "Exactly."

"Sakule, don't you want to ride a roller coaster?"

At this time, the voices of several boys who seemed to be hesitant came.

"...Not really. So tall."

The only girl, Saku Le, hugged the puppet tightly in her arms and whispered.

"I want to sit in that one over there, but none of you do. Well, then I'll just stay here."

"Because it's a game for girls."

One of the children said with puffy cheeks, and then Oda held his head down and rubbed his hair.

"There's no such thing as 'girls or boys only'. If you don't want to play, it's because Shinji doesn't want to, not because of your gender."

"What's the matter, Xiaosaki, do you want to go on the merry-go-round? Then let me accompany you, okay?"

Dazai also leaned over, lowered his head, bowed slightly, and with an incomparably elegant smile, stretched out a hand to Sakura.

"Please. It's my honor to accompany a cute girl like Kosaki."

"Yeah! Thank you Brother Dazai!"

Sakule, who has always liked Dazai, blushed happily, was held by his hand, and bounced towards the direction of the merry-go-round.

"...Okay." After being preached, Shinji nodded to show that he remembered, and then said, "Then I will challenge you, Odasaku——just bet that you can ride the roller coaster with them at the same time." Playing chess. How about it, do you dare to come?!"

"No." Oda said calmly.

"Sounds like a feat. I'll try."

"...Are you repeating the 'Challenge Oda Saku' that you never got tired of when you were young?"

The oldest Xingsuke held his forehead and said helplessly, then,

"How can you not add me!!"

Watching them noisily separate and walk towards their respective projects, I turned my head and looked at Uesakaguchi with scrutiny at me.

——Under the intentional or unintentional leadership of Sakaguchi, we have unknowingly reached a dead corner of surveillance.

According to the results of my detection with supernatural powers, there is no device nearby that may record our voice.

Before, Oda and Dazai probably left because they saw that there was something to talk between me and him.

And I just took the initiative to take over his words, not only because I have the same feelings as him, but also to express "I understand his intentions".

So now, it's time for me and him to explain everything clearly.

...It is time for me to understand the official attitude of Japan, and to confirm whether the agency needs to act.

"...I think you probably already guessed what I'm going to say."

Sakaguchi said calmly.

"Louis Ludwig, born in New York City, the United States, obtained a double degree in biology and English literature at Stanford University, and is currently studying neurosurgery at Yale University School of Medicine.

It does not belong to a supernatural organization. Its own supernatural ability is to exert a tiny force in any direction on objects within a certain range. The level is in the middle and lower among supernatural beings. When the survival instinct is extremely stimulated, there may be a very small possibility. Can survive an explosion—”

He approached me, his eyes under the lens were cold and serious, and for the first time, his tone revealed the oppressive force of a person who has been giving orders in institutions all year round, like a blade slowly pushed in front of him.

"But you and I both know that's not the case."

I laughed, noncommittal, "Does the official attitude tell me not to interfere in this matter? Or do you want me to leave as soon as possible?"

"." Sakaguchi also smiled, his eyebrows stretched, and his tone changed back to the previous relaxed tone, "The official attitude? I don't know either."

"." I was slightly stunned, "You didn't."

"Yes. I didn't tell them my guess. After all, I know your origin is not what it seems, but Dazai-kun knows it too. I want to come to Odasaku-san too."

Looking in the direction they left just now, Sakaguchi continued.

"...I trust their judgment. Therefore, I will not investigate your matter at this stage. What is written in the information is what the facts are."

Then he looked at me with a reassuring, high-spirited smile that hardly fit his temperament.

"After all, even if you are in the mafia, you haven't done evil in the true sense. So, from my personal point of view, I also hope that I can trust you."

"But my observation of you will not stop. If there is anything abnormal, I will still report it to the authorities and conduct further investigations if necessary. I hope you understand. I also hope that my trust will not be wrongly paid, Mr. Jinji."

"...Don't worry, Mr. Sakaguchi."

I looked straight into his eyes and said word for word.

Out of the corner of my eye, Dazai, who just finished a merry-go-round ride with Saku Le, was walking briskly towards me not far away.

"Your trust will not go wrong. I promise."

"Are you done talking? I said he wouldn't sell me out, Ango?"

Dazai wrapped his arms around my neck and rubbed his soft cheek against my face, saying so triumphantly.

"Relax a little too, be careful that your hair is broken down because it is incompatible with the anxiety that emanates from you like an electric wave, just like Mr. Mori—"

"Please save the effort of making up nonsense, the air will become unclean because of the nonsense you speak without thinking."

Sakaguchi's glasses reflected a cold light.

"Huh? Ango is amazing. Although I can't feel it, the weather forecast does say that there will be a little fog in the afternoon. I don't know if it will rain."

Behind him was a group of four children who were spinning around on the roller coaster, and Oda was talking as he walked towards us.

"...ah... my head hurts."

Sakaguchi let out a long and heavy sigh, pressed his temples, revealing the same lovelessness as Donna.

As luck would have it, the fog dissipated at nightfall, and the night sky is now clear with low-hanging stars.

The children made full use of their time to play the roller coaster more than a dozen times in the whole afternoon, so even at the age when people hate dogs, they were still showing fatigue, sitting on the bench with their heads drooping, and they were younger even fell asleep.

"Oh, it's just right, there is no line for the Ferris wheel now. Then please Odasaku and Ango look after the children, we will come back when we go~"

Dazai said this cheerfully, and amidst Sakaguchi's weak "Go, go" and Oda's "Have fun", he pulled me towards the most fundamental destination of our trip - Yokohama Cosmo Clock 21.

Under the night, the lights are lit up, and the Ferris wheel is shining with colorful lights in the dark, like a magical product only in fairy tales.

Dazai and I sat facing each other, and there were only the two of us in the huge car.

"...Hmm...Where does this place fit? It's empty, and if it weren't for the small number of people today, it wouldn't be just two people. It seems that the advice in the book is outdated."

Dazai puffed up his face and muttered, looking a little awkward, and didn't meet my gaze.

Probably even if there is no problem in front of others and at home, he still feels a little uncomfortable in such a scene specially prepared for the purpose of "dating".

I smiled: "Then let's try the aquarium and movie theater later to see if those two places are worthy of their names."

Dazai smiled silently: "Okay."

Then he looked at the glass reflecting the shadows of the two of us on the side, raised a hand to cover it vainly, and said, "...Actually, I have something I want to ask, Mr. Jin."

"The 'K'...was you. Right?"

......hiss.

broken.

He probably guessed it a long time ago, but he confirmed it because I acquiesced in Oda's "thank you so far".

After the official relationship, I only met so few times, and each time I spent a lot of time on in-depth exchanges, and I couldn't talk about this topic... I forgot to tell him that "K was me back then" It's over.

With the mentality of "it's me, you can do whatever you want", I bite the bullet and say, "...it's me. I accidentally forgot to tell you, sorry, I didn't mean to—"

My voice stopped abruptly.

Because I saw his expression at the moment.

It was like a few drops of rain falling on the pale mirror-like lake surface, startling the fish floating in the air, and the ripples spread out empty and faintly.

He raised his head, his eyelashes fluttered slightly, and said with a smile, "...that's too much."

...It's really too much.

Even Odasaku was saved by you.

What would have happened if there hadn't been this 'K' at the time?

What would my life be like without you?

Will I forgive Ango?

Can Odasaku write novels?

Will he, well, exist beside me?

Will I be able to spend time with them, as I do now, as if stolen from someone else's life?

...In this case, doesn't it seem that you are protecting me needlessly in the face of all possible crises?

Isn't it like, is it you who created this dream-like reality for me?

All of these things are so, so beautiful that I can't bear it.

If we say that the feeling like this is like the whole heart is floating on the clouds, and it seems that it will fall back to the world at any time, and it will be smashed to pieces, which is what ordinary people call "happiness".

Well, this level of happiness must not be allowed.

Surely there will be another god who wants to come and take all this away from me?

If all this is to disappear,

by then,

What will happen to me?

"Is it really okay to be like this now...?"

He looked at me, with such a fragmented smile, and in such a heartbreakingly dazed tone, he asked.

——Is it really not a dream?

——Is it really okay to be as happy as you are now?

Although I didn't say everything, I knew that he was asking me this way.

Asking fate.

I walked over wordlessly, sat down beside him, and took him into my arms.

"No problem. No matter what the reality is, you have the right to own it. You are entitled to it."

no matter what kind of happiness,

You are all worth it.

"Look at me, Xiuzhi-kun."

With a little effort, I raised his face with an irresistible movement, and looked straight into the clear pool of irises.

"All of this is not a dream. This is an unreal reality, and all of this is being held in the palm of your hand."

"I'm here too, I'm witnessing all this with you, and I will always witness it."

The Ferris wheel slowly rose to the highest point and stopped there, slightly shaken by the raging wind at high altitude;

The city beneath you stretches toward the sky like a colorful black canvas, connected to countless stars in the sky, and the street lamps are like twinkling gems or golden dragons, radiant and dreamlike.

"don’t worry."

I looked into his eyes and made an oath with a very soft voice.

"I promise, none of this will go away."

"Neither will I disappear.—I will be by your side. Henceforth, and forever."

He looked at me with trembling pupils, and the starlight reflected in his eyes was brighter than the real night sky.

Then he opened his mouth softly, and his warm breath melted into the air, the three words he hadn't said since that night on the cruise ship.

--"I love you".

——"Love してるよ".

I smiled and leaned over to him.

"Me too."

On the top of the ferris wheel, under the black velvet night, above the lit city,

Our kiss is the taste of stars.

The author has something to say:

A chapter of mutual confession again.

When you see the ending, you will find this... alas.well.

(There will be a HE, however that doesn't interfere here.)

I feel that Anwu's longing for a nap at the beginning is particularly bleak, and it can also reflect the reality of a social animal (dog head)

The challenge put forward by the children is the feat of playing chess on a roller coaster in cue, which is a feat of funny netizens hahaha

They are now 8-13 years old, they may respect Odasaku a little more than when they were young, but they are still children after all hahh

The current classmate's resume.....is the resume of Mr. Kalanish, the cue prototype writer.A strong academic master.

Ango: "I'm also your friend."

Zai: You can be more confident and remove the word “count” (laughs)

The rare Super A Ango.

Ango came to confirm today's motives, which is a necessary obligation for the status of "a member of the Supernatural Secret Service"; but he said "I will not investigate again", and at the same time it is equivalent to using his own actions to remind today's To be good to Zai is to take the identity of "Zai's friend" out of concern for him.

But I think it is really obvious that he is partial to his friends, so even if he knew what happened that year, he didn't ask again.

However, his duties as a member of the Supernatural Secret Service have the upper hand, so he will also come to warn him not to act rashly now.

In the conversations with the children, Oda Saku's extremely upright three views can be seen.

Zai's seductiveness is also evident.that's why:

Other children: Brother Bandage

Saku Le: Brother Dazai (intimate)

(Who doesn't like a big brother who is good-looking and gentle)

(I just like it)

There is generally no monitoring in the Ferris wheel, and the two people have checked in their own ways before mentioning the year.

Zai: All these days are stolen from other people's lives.

Today: ...how could it be.This is all truly yours.

"The warm breath turns into the air." That sentence is using the current name of the ability, "when breath becomes air" (when breath turns into air).

The title "You are the center of my universe" means, "My earth revolves around you".

It was because both of them were thinking in their hearts, but neither of them said anything out of their mouths.

Leaving Japan in the next chapter, see Chuya and...?

(Coming soon)

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
