On the Compatibility Between Conjurers and Writers

Sunday, which is Sunday, no need to go to Port Mafia.

The ex-assassin's schedule made Yi Yi open his eyes on time at 6:[-] in the morning.

Last night, he received a voice message from Oda Saku, and it was a long list of supplementary explanations, including the names of neighbors in standard definition, common jobs in the mafia, and his weekend habits.

One: I always feel that the difficulty of this round of impersonation is 0.

/Also, everything is going well for Dazai in 2018, and the development of Panxingjiao is on the right track. I heard that Datian is planning to create works with Xia Yousang as the protagonist.../

After reading one piece, I felt relieved, I just felt that Dazai-san did not dislike him, but was willing to accept the mess, it was too kind, did he really like the life of a working emperor?

Dazai:? ?

Back to the topic, what will Oda Saku do on this rare Sunday?

First of all, get up and wash, clean your teeth in the shiny bathroom mirror, change your pajamas, put on a brown shirt that has been washed until soft on the upper body, dark gray trousers on the lower half, and the khaki coat hangs on the tree branch hanger in the entrance.

Then he watered the bean sprouts under the windowsill.

He only has the cooking skills of a bachelor. His breakfast is refrigerated natto from the supermarket. Just tear off the skin and stir it. Miso soup is also brewed. Kyushu white eggs are poured on the rice. When returning to Odasaku, I will cook a large pot of rice, shape it into rice balls, cover it with plastic wrap, and store it in the freezer. Every time I eat, I take out a microwave and turn it on for 3 minutes. The taste is the same as freshly cooked.

While stirring natto, Yiyi sighed silently: "It's really... so peaceful..."

"Compared to Dazai-san, it's a different set."

If Dazai-san's place is a nest of desire/desire full of intrigues, Odasaku's here is the short and ordinary daily life of the parents, even the magic spirits are gone, and the fourth-level petites have never patronized the poor nest.

So peaceful.

After chewing the last mouthful of rice, I cleaned up the dishes. Although I can soak in water for half a day, I will deal with it when I return late, but it’s okay to do it now.

Think about it carefully, even in such a peaceful life, there is an opportunity for change, right?According to Dazai Sana's accumulated experience, the person who needs protection may be by his side.

With this in mind, I put on my coat neatly, Sunday is reading day, I go to the National Library to pay off the books I borrowed last week, and then borrow a new book.

Oda’s reading is systematic. Leaving aside the pre-18th century market literature and the lofty "Genji Tale" and other books, the modern literature blowout period began after the Black Ship Incident, and Western literature was introduced into the barren At first, translation novels and unnutritive political novels were commonly seen in the land. After the Meiji era, the rise of literary thought gave rise to a large number of nutritious novels.

When Odasaku is free, he will go to nearby universities to attend lectures, and occasionally go to Tokyo. When he listens to lectures, he leaves a thick stack of notes. Creation needs to absorb the thoughts of predecessors, temper the writing style, and also need to turn his own experience into words.

According to a certain professor, he took Yoshida Seiichi's "History of Modern Japanese Literature" as the coordinate axis, looking at the past one by one, and recently he has seen the present.

"Who should I read today, Heishi-san's science fiction?"

"It's obvious that I went back to the past, but I thoroughly studied Chinese."

"Somewhat strange."

When the door was locked, I heard the rollers touching the ground, and when I turned around, I saw a tired woman dragging a suitcase and a silent child behind her.

He is very familiar with the two of them, one is Tsumiji who he just met yesterday, and the other is Fu Heihui. His appearance is really the same as in high school, and his hair with fangs and claws is quite recognizable.

The adult noticed Yi Yi's line of sight, grabbed Tsu Miki vigilantly, blocked her behind him, passed Odasaku and went straight into 201 without even saying hello.

On the other hand, Tsumiji looked at it a few times, seemed to wake up her memory, and smiled at him.

There was only a slap, and the adult slammed the door hard, tilting his head, but he could understand her behavior.

Compared with other areas in Yokohama, it is not peaceful here. Poverty is often linked to a high crime rate. This does not mean that Yokohama is an unsafe city, but for the first time, anyone will think that minors living in poor rental houses are not worthy of trust. .

Especially single mothers with two children have a greater sense of crisis, even though the other party is someone who will make their young children grab discounted dishes.

So far, Yiyi is not prepared to act rashly, but just wants to say that he should pay more attention to Fuhei's family.

Although I am not very confident, I may have found someone to protect.

……

After closing the door, Fu Hei Wheel frowned and said, "Don't get too close to your neighbors, Tsu Meiji and Hui."

Without waiting for the children to refute, they poured out a lot of words, "This is the most dangerous area in Yokohama, the rent is cheap, please press the alarm if something goes wrong, I am too busy with work, it is difficult to take care of you, you must learn to protect yourself. "

Megumi and Tsumiki's schoolbags were bought when the economy was tight, and they cost [-] to [-] yen each. They are not only earthquake-resistant, but also have alarm and positioning functions.

Their family moved from Saitama. Fuhei Wheel is from Yokohama. They married Saitama in their first marriage and settled down there. In their second marriage with Fuheshier, the other party paid for their living expenses and formed a family together. .

But one year after Shier disappeared, not to mention being a leisurely housewife, she couldn't even live a life, so she simply took the two children back to Yokohama.

Her natal family did not accept her, and only gave her some living expenses. Soon, she couldn't even afford the normal apartment rent. She lived in an apartment in a slum, and the monthly rent was only [-] yen.

There are very few apartments with a monthly rent of less than [-] yen. Yokohama is in the Tokyo area, and the economy is developing very well. This apartment is already the lowest price.

Tsumiji did not try to persuade Fuhei Wheel, let alone Fuheihui. From Jinmeiji's point of view, her mother worked very hard every day, often worked late at night, and did not stay at home for three or two days, and had ample living expenses. Suddenly, my mother's temper became more and more irritable every day, and sometimes she would feel a strange sense of fear, when her mother looked at herself and Hui with that kind of eyes.

will be thrown away.If she didn't do anything, she thought, she would be thrown away.

He doesn't want to move into the orphanage, and there is still Hui, what should he do?

Therefore, she will continue to endure, continue to endure, show her mother's favorite smile, and buy half-price meat and vegetables with the lowest living expenses.

At this time, she responded obediently: "I see, Mom."

Kei also nodded silently.

……

One didn't know what happened to Fuhei's house. He spent a full day in the library, and he also saw the poster board standing in front of the door on the first floor.

It is a call for papers, similar to the Newcomer Award, and you can submit your favorite works.

One thinks of Oda Zuo's thick stack of manuscripts. Compared with other authors, Oda Zuo's production is not fast, and until now he has been dawdling and has not contributed to the newspaper.

One is a bit difficult: this is different from Dazai Sanna. He thinks that he really has no creative talent, and his Chinese is only mediocre.

Ask Oda Saku-san tonight, he can only think so.

Since he became a well-known writer ten years later, he should make his debut, right?

Although I held such and such thoughts, I was still calm when reading. I went out at noon and ate my own bento. It was a discounted boxed lunch I bought from Morikawa Department Store last night. Eat the barley tea together.

In the afternoon, I read books again, and wrote impromptu texts that came out of my mind. Odasaku has the habit of recording inspiration.

04:30 He came out of the library and went around most of the city to eat curry.

Before entering the store, I had a slight guess about the taste of curry, what should I say when I really eat it...

"Exactly the same."

The boss asked, "What?"

One shook his head and said, "Nothing, General."

When I was Dazai, I ate spicy curry, and I felt that I was about to turn into a fire-breathing dragon, and I would die if I didn't pour cold water.

This is not the way he wants to die, it is simply torture.

But as Oda Saku, he can distinguish the deliciousness from the spiciness. It is better to say that it is the spicy spices that inspire the original taste of curry. After eating it once, I fell in love with it, and I couldn’t refuse it.

Speaking of which, the ingredients in the freezer are mostly carrots, potato cubes, and home-packed curry cubes. Haven’t you started researching spice recipes at this time?That's right, but ordinary curry is delicious enough.

Since the curry shop is far away from the apartment, it is better to say that the apartment rented by Odasaku is far away from the city, and it took an hour to go home.At seven o'clock in the evening, all the lights along the street came on.

The range hood is in operation, it is dinner time, and because they are located in a remote place, it takes a long time for office workers to go home, so the smell of vegetables comes from many homes. However, there is a burnt smell that seems out of place.

Yiyi's eyes froze, and he heard Obasan downstairs making Kabayaki in the courtyard.

Seeing a mysterious way: "That smell, is it from 201?"

One sniffed his nose and said, "Should?"

The following words were mixed with the worries of the eighth woman in the neighborhood and her. She muttered: "I saw that family, the single mother with two children, right? After entering the door, the mother is gone forever. At least take it and clean the house."

She added, "I saw very clearly that no one came back at night. Two children are cooking at their house, right?"

"It's too dangerous. Is their child 6 years old?"

"There should be." One said.

There was no ups and downs in his tone, Odasaku just spoke like that.

"Oda-san, is there something I don't know?"

One paused and said, "I've seen the children from that family."

"Hey?"

He said succinctly: "In Morikawa Department Store."

At the stall where they were chatting, the burnt smell of 201 was getting heavier and heavier, and without hesitation, they went straight to the door and knocked on the door.

"Boom boom boom, boom boom boom."

"Crack-"

The door opened.

Hui stood at the door, staring at Yi with a blank expression, as if asking: What's the matter?

One looked at his dark face and asked, "Do you need help?" He said blankly, "It smells very burnt."

Hui was very vigilant, he didn't say anything, but Jin Meiji hurriedly turned off the stove, ran over and said, "Ah, it's that gentleman."

Hui asked, "Who?"

Tsumiji said in an innocent tone, "Mr. Cashier of Morikawa Department Store."

"I leave us discounted meat and vegetables every day, thank you very much, Hui."

However, he was two years older than Hui, but he looked like a little adult. Hui also listened to Tsumiji very much, and his attitude towards Yiyi immediately softened, and he lowered his head limply, "Thank you."

One: "I didn't keep it, it was Mrs. Nishimura, they are very good people."

Tsumiji nodded and said, "Mmm, yes."

One: "The smell of burning is too strong. Although the apartment here is old, the fire alarm is newly installed. No matter how strong the smell of smoke is, it is likely to set off the alarm."

Hui's eyes widened suddenly, and Tsumiji said, "Huh?"

One: "Suggest I go in and take a look? If you are worried, you can press the alarm at any time."

One can see clearly that Hui has been holding the alarm in his hand. He is a very vigilant child, which is very good and can protect himself.

Thinking of Fu Hei in the future, I don't think it's strange that he is like this now. I just want to say that Fu Hei hasn't changed much in so many years.

Jin Meiji is not old enough to cook, so she can barely cook the dishes without getting sick. The brand new stove in the apartment makes it difficult for her to use it, so she made a fuss today.

Tsumiji thought for a while and let Yiyi enter the house. In fact, no one entered the house. Their narrow apartment didn't even have a porch, and they could see the end at a glance, because Yiyi's room structure was exactly the same as that of Fuhei's house, only the left and right were reversed.

One said that if you are disturbed, enter the room immediately. The beef slices are in a semi-burnt state. If you save them, they can still be eaten. What's more, in the state of Fuguro Hui and Tsu Miki, they will eat even if they are made into coke.

The most damaged is the pot, the bottom is black, and it looks like it will take a long time to brush.

One asked first: "Do you want to eat at my house? There are still leftovers from yesterday."

Tsumiki and Huiqi shook their heads, well, they are the type who don’t like to owe favors. To be precise, after the Japanese entered the Heisei era, that kind of purely natural neighborhood relationship became even rarer.

Since the two are children living independently, they will be more concerned about not disturbing the adults around them.

One is to fully respect their needs. It is better to say that Oda Saku treats children like this, and if he cannot accept the kindness of strangers, then...

"Can I do it?"

"Hey?"

One said: "Tsu Meiji probably doesn't have much experience in cooking, and Fuhei..."

Megumi Fuguro said.

One nodded: "Hui Jun."

"In this case, do you want to watch it? Even if my craftsmanship is not very good, if I can record everything from the heat to the time to the amount of water, I will definitely be able to make delicious meals."

Hearing this, Tsumiji's eyes lit up.

In 2008, home computers became popular, but Fuhei's family was so poor that they couldn't even afford a TV set, let alone other things. The cooking method was pulled out from memory by Tsumiji. She saw Fuhei Wheel made it Breakfast, and sneaking into the study after school to read cookbooks.

Tsumiji knows a lot of Chinese characters, but she can't figure out the amount of one or two spoonfuls, and she doesn't know how to heat it. She instinctively thinks that the more the fire is, the faster the ripening will be.

She asked, "Will it be too much trouble?"

One shakes his head.

·

Fuhei's house has a complete range of cooking utensils, but the inside of the house has not been cleaned, and it looks a bit messy. Tsumiji and Kei are standing around him, with a small bench under one foot, and a tightly packed cardboard box on the other.

Water, soy sauce, spoon, salt, heat...the two take small notebooks respectively, and record the process in katakana and hiragana, and simmer for 10 minutes on medium heat, put a medium spoon of soy sauce and put scallions.

For children, the danger of frying is too high, just to be full, stewing is enough, even the original Oda work, will eat a whole pot of borscht, curry, and freeze it in the lunch box, Take it out every time you eat it.

There is also Bolognese, which is also a lazy dish he often makes.

It's just sliced ​​beef garnished with soy sauce, served with washed salad vegetables, and brewed miso soup. When Hui and Tsumiji ate it, their cheeks flushed, as if they had eaten something delicious.

"Thank you so much, Oda-san." Tsumiki bent down first, followed by Kei.

One thought: "If it's cheap and nutritious, you can make curry."

He said, "For vegetables, you can buy discounted products from Morikawa Department Store, which are not so fresh, but there is no problem, and you can cook a pot of nutritious curry for a week."

"But... how to assemble it?"

"There are not so many lunch boxes, and they can be stored in fresh-keeping bags after cooling down, and the sealed letter is very strong."

A lot of experience in living a cheap life was taught, and the two children's eyes lit up when they heard it.

The living expenses brought by Fuhei Wheels are really too little, and you have to save enough for school books. Although public schools are free education, books still cost money. On this basis, there is too little that can be used for living , but also to ensure basic nutritional intake...

What one said is really a recipe for life.

After the meal, Yi Yi took the two of them to clean up the house, and Tsumiji repeatedly said that there was no need to bother him too much, but it was not as fast as Yi Yi's action. The two felt the sense of peace of mind that the adults were at home for a long time.

Even if the adult is not particularly big.

Tsumiki would think: How old is Mr. Oda, sixteen?Seventeen?

In short, with his current appearance, he really doesn't look like an adult.

At 9:[-], everything was cleaned up, and the two children who insisted on cleaning were also exhausted. They lay on the tatami mats. One was a neighbor.

Fortunately, Tsumiji and the others were very conscious in this regard, and they went to sleep after sending one away.

One:.

How should I put it, judging from Odasaku's thinking, it is that the vigilance is too low and it is easy to believe that people may run into danger.Such two children live alone, which makes people completely uneasy.

From the perspective of special care for children, we should keep an eye on them. As a rule, we have the task of changing our destiny, so we must take good care of them.

……

As I said before, unlike Dazai, Oda Saku is very willing to communicate with Yiyi and gave him a lot of suggestions. Regarding the doubts about producing works, he specifically talked to Oda Saku. Sure enough, he received a message from Oda Saku at night .

The other party first said that he could not help himself in another world to make a decision, but according to the order of his published works, the first one to participate in the call for papers should be...

"It really is this article." A fan of Tonosuke from ten years later said, "Tonosuke-san's debut is "Golden Basin Washing Your Hands"."

"Let's vote, Yomiuri Shimbun."
