Osamu Dazai maintained the posture of supporting the door frame with one hand, and looked up at the black-haired man standing outside the door: "What's the matter?"

Although Osamu Dazai didn't have too many other emotions in his eyes, Xi Lai, who was glanced at by him, still felt like a thorn in his back.

It didn't take long for Osamu Dazai to make way for him: "Do you want to come in~"

Without thinking about it, Xi Lai shook his head with a smile and refused: "No, no, I just came to deliver some food to Atsushi." After that, he raised his hand and handed the things in his hand to Osamu Dazai, and then he was about to say goodbye and leave.

However, just as he turned around, Atsushi Nakajima's voice came from behind him, and the boy seemed to chase him out from the house: "Mr. Fujita!"

Atsushi Nakajima, who had just finished pouring the hot water, caught up with Xilai, and expressed his gratitude in his tone: "Thank you for bringing me food, please come in and have a seat!"

Xi Lai quickly refused with a smile: "No, no, I have something to do. Besides, you also have guests at your house. I will come again next time."

Atsushi Nakajima had no choice but to scratch his head regretfully: "Okay...come again next time!"

"Thank you~"

After bidding farewell to Atsushi Nakajima, Sirai quickly walked into her home and closed the door.

Accompanied by the sound of closing the door, Xi Lai felt her heart beat faster.

To be honest, the moment he saw Dazai Osamu who was defenseless just now, he was a little stupid.

Logically speaking, the system will generally try to assign unrelated tasks to the same person.

However, Osamu Dazai actually appeared at the home of his current mission target Atsushi Nakajima.

You know, Xi Lai just fled away in front of Osamu Dazai.

how so.

Xilai glanced at the silver bracelet on her wrist with some headaches.

The frequency of system failures is too high recently. Not only is the predicted time node not accurate enough, but now even the assigned task objects are inexplicably connected.

You know, this actually affects Xilai's mission progress.

However.. Not long ago, after finishing Dazai Osamu's mission, I couldn't find Midier when I went to the headquarters. It's fine that the previous faults in the system were not resolved, but now there are new faults.

Thinking of this, Xi Lai couldn't help having a headache:

what is going on.

However, the headache is the headache, the task still has to continue, there is no reason to stop when it is not half done.

Shirai continued to stay beside Atsushi Nakajima as Fujita, but he became more cautious.

No way, who let him open the door last time and saw Osamu Dazai.

Xi Lai didn't take it lightly, but took it very seriously, because Xi Lai knew that when he met the target of the previous mission at this time, he had the same risk of being recognized and seen through as the two-stage mission in Fuheihui .

Megumi Fukuro, a 12-year-old junior high school student, recognized him with some details, let alone Osamu Dazai, the "youngest cadre in mafia history" who is thoughtful and familiar with people's hearts.

Silly had to be careful.

Now every time he went to Atsushi Nakajima, or opened the door for Atsushi Nakajima, he had to use his invisibility to see if Osamu Dazai was nearby.

Although Xilai looked handsome and suicidal in front of Osamu Dazai before, he didn't expect that he would use his ability to sneak around in embarrassment to prevent him from running into Osamu Dazai again.

He also told Cassius about the system's frequent failures recently, and Cassius also complained to him about this, and made an appointment with him to find Midier together next time.

At this moment, Xilai, who was sitting in the house, was looking at the back of Atsushi Nakajima who was busy in the kitchen.

"Thank you, Mr. Fujita, for bringing so many ingredients." Nakajima Atsushi turned his head and said to Xilai with some embarrassment.

Xilai waved his hand and said, "I just bought some along the way. I originally planned to bring some to you after I finished it, but you sent me a text message last night, asking me to bring the ingredients directly."

Nakajima Atsushi shook his head embarrassingly: "Every time you buy vegetables, you still have to cook them. I'm really sorry. Let me do it this time."

Xilai could only hum with a smile.

Xilai had scouted the situation before coming, and Osamu Dazai was not at Atsushi Nakajima's house, so he came to the door with his things at ease.

While waiting, Xi Lai glanced at the table in front of him, but suddenly saw a familiar book on the table.

Xi Lai couldn't help but reached out and took the book, and then opened it.

At this moment, Atsushi Nakajima turned his head around at some point, and when he noticed Xilai’s flipping of the book, he immediately said, “That’s Mr. Dazai’s book, I seem to have forgotten it here, Mr. Dazai always likes to read these weird books. Weird stuff.."

Xi Lai couldn't help being a little dumbfounded.

This, this is obviously the book that was kept in the desk drawer when I was still Imai.

Why is Osamu Dazai here!

After turning to the title page, looking at the contents above, Xi Lai couldn't help but secretly said in his heart:

There are still a few words that I would write on the title page...

When passing by a bookstore at that time, I caught a glimpse of this seemingly nonsensical book.Although the book was absurd in every sense of the word, Sealy bought it anyway.

Thinking of this, Xilai closed the book in his hand, and looked at the title on its cover——

The Complete Suicide Manual.

Xilai immediately recalled the mood of buying this book.

At that time, I hadn't adapted to the special mission goal of Osamu Dazai, and I was always devastated by his various strange suicide postures. After reading this book, I was quite sick and rushed to the doctor, so I bought it , ready to predict Dazai Osamu's suicide motive and suicide method from another angle, so as to better prevent his suicide.

Of course, in the end, I found that it didn’t work. It’s better to observe the timeline and stay by Dazai Osamu’s side, so this book has been eating ashes in the drawer since then...

The memories of this book came to an abrupt end here, and Xi Lai, who was thinking back to the present, looked at the book in his hand and couldn't help feeling distressed and confused:

So why is this book in the hands of Osamu Dazai now...

It won't be taken away by him as a reference book for suicide...

After thinking of this possibility, Xilai couldn't help but feel a little speechless.

But Xilai also quickly thought of the second possibility:

Or, after my death, Osamu Dazai began to investigate with suspicion, so he collected the things I left behind at that time?

What Shirai didn't know was that the reason why Osamu Dazai took the book for himself included both his suspicions and the fact that he used it as a reference book for suicide.

At this time, Xi Lai, who was thinking carefully with the book in his hand, suddenly heard the sound of the door opening.

It was hard to leave at this moment, he immediately put down the book in his hand, and turned his head to look at the door.

In the next second, he directly collided with Osamu Dazai who walked in:

"What are you doing~ It smells so good."

Osamu Dazai asked while looking into Sirai's eyes.

Atsushi Nakajima glanced sideways at Osamu Dazai who walked in, and said, "Mr. Dazai, why are you here?"

Osamu Dazai brushed up the broken hair beside his face, and said in a casual tone, "Ah, that's because I left something here yesterday, come and get it."

Atsushi Nakajima immediately reacted when he heard the words: "Sorry! I forgot to bring it for you when I came to the detective agency today!"

"By the way, do you want to stay for dinner?"

Xilai couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

However, Osamu Dazai just reached out and took the book on the table, and then said to Atsushi Nakajima in the kitchen: "No need, I've eaten."

Sirai smiled gently at Osamu Dazai: "Hello."

Osamu Dazai raised the book in his hand as a response: "Let's go~"

After he finished speaking, he went out and opened the book in his hand.

However, just when Osamu Dazai was about to walk out of the gate, his expression suddenly changed instantly as he looked at the book in his hand.

At that moment, Sirai felt Osamu Dazai's gaze.

But Osamu Dazai didn't do anything after that, he opened the door and walked out directly.

Hearing the sound of closing the door, relying on the previous understanding of Osamu Dazai's mind and character, an idea in Xilai's heart became more vivid:

Osamu Dazai will find out.

Be more cautious.

Thinking of this, Xilai closed his eyes wearily:

Fortunately, Atsushi Nakajima's mission is coming to an end.

...

Xilai didn't expect that Cassius would come directly to find him.

The red-haired friend lay on Xilai's sofa boredly and looked at him: "How long will you go on this mission?"

Xilai called up the timeline and looked at it: "It's almost here."

Cassius looked at Xilai and said, "I'll just wait for you. I rushed to finish the work ahead of time. I'll wait for you to finish and then we'll go find Midier together."

"In fact, I told you a long time ago." Cassius sighed leisurely: "A mission target I encountered before was actually the son of the previous mission target, which made me ambushed for no reason."

Xi Lai was also a little troubled when she heard this.

System failure, assigning certain related task objects, whether it is for Xilai, who is responsible for saving people, or for Cassius, who is responsible for killing people, will greatly increase the difficulty of the task and affect the progress of the task.

"I don't have a lot of tasks to do now." Xi Lai looked at the timeline and said to Cassius: "I can go back with you in a few days."

Fortunately, the tasks related to Atsushi Nakajima are all simple assistance, both before and after, and it is rare to encounter life-threatening situations in battle.

It may also be related to Atsushi Nakajima's ability.

Thanks to this, his task time will be so short.

I'll be back at headquarters in a few days.

Xilai silently looked forward to it in her heart:

Hopefully this time the glitch in the system can be resolved.

...

Four days later.

Xilai, who successfully completed the task of taking care of the human and tiger, returned to the headquarters with Cassius.Before Osamu Dazai fully recognized him, Xilai successfully escaped from a heart attack in front of Renhu and died.

However, when Sealy and Cassius returned to the headquarters together, Midier did return to the headquarters, but...

They didn't find Midier, but they got the news from a colleague on the side: "Midier already knew about the recent failure of the system. He has checked the main system and found that it is a problem with the timeline."

Xilai was a little confused: "The problem with the timeline? Are there too many abandoned timelines that deviate from the perfect timeline?"

The man shook his head, and continued to Xilai and Cassius: "No, for the time being, I only know that it is a problem with the timeline. Midier is still investigating the specific problem. He has been staying in the timeline space for the past few days. , so I may not be able to see you, but don’t worry too much, he will definitely solve the problem as soon as he finds out.”

Xilai and Cassius, who had suffered from system failure before, looked at each other: "..."

There is no way, now I have to continue to do the task first.

After all, Midier was already thinking of a solution, but the task had to continue.

After saying goodbye to Cassius, Sealy opened the time manager, ready for the next task.

However, on the timeline presented on the system at this time, Xi Lai could only see time nodes one by one.He wanted to click on the time node to check the situation, but he couldn't get any pictures.

He tried to click on the mission target again, but found that several information introductions popped up, but the words on it were all garbled characters, and the column that should have been the photo of the mission target was also completely black.

Xilai couldn't help hesitating for a moment, but at this time he had no other choice, and the task had to be done. When Midil repaired the loophole, all they could do was to continue to do the task to maintain the perfect timeline , so that the timeline does not go astray, leading to more irreparable mistakes.

How about going to the world on the timeline first.

That's all for now..

Xi Lai exhaled, chose the first time node, and used his spiritual body to penetrate in.

After landing, Xi Lai suddenly found that the timeline that was still blurred in the headquarters suddenly became clear, and various character information was displayed normally.

just.

Seeing the familiar building in front of him through the holographic screen in front of him, Xi Lai couldn't help being a little stunned.

A few large characters at the door are very conspicuous:

Tokyo Metropolitan Higher Vocational School of Magic.

Xi Lai looked down at the mission system in disbelief.

The flashing timeline on the system is the timeline of the spell that he has been here before.

At this time, a prompt for this task popped up next to it:

[Protect everyone in this school at this time, so that they can see the spring scene next year smoothly. 】

Xilai was even more stunned.

everyone?

However, in the next second, the system suddenly popped up a dozen character windows in succession.

And most of the faces above are extremely familiar to Xilai.

Qihai Jianren, Wujo Wu, Yidizhi, Jiazi, Noctuidae Zhengdao, Fu Heihui, Polygonum cuspidatum Yuren, Two-faced Nuo...

The more Xi Lai watched, the more panicked he became, and the more he watched, the less he dared to step into the school in front of him. The memories that had been temporarily dusty all of a sudden became vivid, and the scene where he used his death escape to leave quickly was still vivid in his mind. Thinking of these, Xi Lai There is something wrong with Lai:

All the previous mission targets in the world of magic gathered together? !

If it was discovered, wouldn't it be...

At this time, Xi Lai only felt that the corners of his eyes were twitching violently, but he looked at a mission target on the screen, and he still had a doubt in his heart:

and also.

Why is the guy with double-faced Su Nuo, who is a curse, now cursing high! ? ?
