[Funno Otome] Is your boss sick today?

61

Osamu Dazai's joy lasted for a long time.

His usual virtue of "I'm so bored, I want to die so much, and let me, Kangkang, be a subordinate to hit the gun" is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. During this period of time, my mood suddenly changed, and everyone was very uncomfortable.

Generally speaking, it should be a great thing for the boss to be happy.The standard development in this case is that the boss is in a better mood, becomes amiable and considerate to his subordinates.

However, your psychotic boss is not an ordinary person. The crazy thing he should do is never done, and it doesn't depend on his mood at all.

62

What's worse is that his subordinates can still see his face to distinguish his thoughts, so that they can be mentally prepared-even if Dazai cadre's moody and insane facial nerve disorder, one second laughs, the next second You can shoot, but judging by the look on your face, you will still be accurate once or twice out of ten times;

Now he smiles at everything, so he can't see anything, which makes your colleagues even more scared, and they all ask you if you have any clues about this matter, and can you think of a way to make him recover as soon as possible undisturbed.

You were stunned by the question: "Don't just rely on my immortality and let me take the lead! I haven't even spoken to him for several months, and the first two days were the first time in such a long time. Can I Know what?"

Colleagues were heartbroken: "You talk to him once and he becomes like this. Doesn't that just show that you are the key to the problem!?"

It's logic you can't refute!

You cover your face: "...it makes sense. I'll ask."

After walking two steps, you turned your head and said seriously: "If I don't come back, remember to burn some game cassettes for me during the holidays, thank you, thank you."

63

Osamu Dazai had expected your arrival.

Seeing you push the door in, he happily invites you to sit down at the table.Just like that day, he had a smile that was so gorgeous that he didn't look like Hei Shijae.

You have never received this kind of treatment from your boss, you are really a little guilty.

You know why your colleagues are so scared.To be treated so courteously by Osamu Dazai is indeed quite scary.

How should I put it, there is a feeling of decapitation.

64

He hasn't thrown away the cup you bought him, it's still on the desk, half full of iced coffee.

Your boss picked it up, took a sip, and said slowly: "I was thinking about one thing before. The lady clearly 'knows' me, down to the details like I'm not good at spicy food and what kind of coffee I like. ;When we first met, I was not recognized by my appearance, but by my characteristics. I think you have only heard simple texts or oral descriptions. But who will tell you this? Even if you can really get it from someone There are only a few people who can understand such details with only a few words in their mouths, and they have no reason to tell you these things; let alone ordinary high school students in foreign countries, who have no contacts in Yokohama that can be used at all. "

He raised his eyes: "So, where is your source of information?"

65

Hearing this, you can probably guess the content of the conversation.

You recoil subconsciously, thankful that he found you a seat.If you listened to this while standing, you might want to turn around and run away.

The actors standing on the inside of that invisible wall, the so-called fourth wall, are not looking at any of the characters in the play, but at you in the audience.

He tapped the table with his fingertips, and said with a smile: "Yesterday, I was finally sure."

"—Miss, have you read about me? You read the person named 'Osamu Dazai' who possesses the ability of "Disqualification in the World", you read it from a certain book, right?And the reason why I let you remember to this day is because—"

66

Although you knew that he had a good brain, he would definitely find out that there is something wrong with your origin... But you didn't expect him to think of this step directly.

You don't know what expression you have now.But seeing your reaction, his smile visibly widened.

A monstrous and contagious arrogance overflowed from those iris-colored eyes.

"I must have succeeded in committing suicide one day in the future! In this way, all the clues are connected! Even if I do too much, I will not be angry because the lady knows that I am a dying person; once Knowing that someone around me will die one day, even if it is a man with a bad temper and a will to die, the young lady can't help but die. Oh, how kind-"

67

"Stop! Stop, stop," you interrupted him in amazement as you listened more and more, "Who said you were dead?"

What happened, all the reasoning was correct, and suddenly it collapsed at the conclusion step?

Dazai, what's the matter with you, Dazai?

He pointed at himself in a daze: "I'm not dead?"

You shattered his illusions mercilessly: "No, you've been attempting suicide. You're alive and well."

68

Osamu Dazai deflated like a punctured balloon, and lay down on the table with puffy cheeks.

"If I'm not dead, why would you want to reach out to me? Your wish," he murmured, "the wish captured by the ability is obviously about me? You want Save me, I want my happiness to continue, so I invited me to dinner, promised to hang out with me after that, and slyly said, "If it makes you happy, it doesn't matter if it's a date" Words. What is this, it’s as gentle as hospice care..."

He laughed self-deprecatingly: "Or, you have to correct my world-weary thoughts? Don't waste your efforts, Miss, I'm hopeless. Even you can't save me who is not loved by 'correct' .There is nowhere in this world that is worthy of my prolonging this dreary life to pursue desperately.”

69

Shouldn't be talking.Even if you really say it, you should be more tactful.

You are not his trusted friend, but a subordinate, a passerby.You shouldn't dictate the lives of others.

But if some words are not said at this moment, there will be no chance in the future.

Thinking like this, you heard yourself blurt out: "You can't find that reason, not because you don't have what you want, but because you don't dare. Because you Dazai is a coward who is afraid of happiness and hurt when you touch cotton .”

Osamu Dazai was stunned by your sudden outburst, and looked at you incredulously.

"As long as you think that you don't want to lose something, you will definitely lose it—that's what you said in the original work. Maybe it's true. Your brain is smarter than mine, and you can see it more thoroughly than everyone else. Maybe it's true or maybe it's true. For a dull person like me, even if he is stabbed, it will only heal within a day of pain; but for a person with a sensitive heart, once he experiences the pain of loss, the wound may continue to bleed continuously. You are the queen Or, so you simply avoided the possibility of getting hurt, which might be the right thing to do—"

"But I won't leave you. You know, I'm immortal. It's a bit arrogant to say that, but," you took a deep breath, "if you don't know the reason to live, then you can rely on me Go on. For me... work hard to live."
