Special investigation report from Yokohama

Karasuma has met a lot of young people, and has seen many young people go through their horns.If in normal times, Osamu Dazai could figure it out quickly, Hongyao just chose the right person to do the right thing. Taking a step back, Hongyao didn't know about Dazai's escape from prison at that time. How to get him out of prison, and how can I think of discussing with him?

But this cannot be said to young people who have walked into a dead end, so Karasuma wisely kept silent.It's just that I don't know how Osamu Dazai understands this silence, he looks even more angry.The young man opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he heard a stern shout from behind: "Get down!"

Along with this sound came the sharp sound of breaking wind, Osamu Dazai lay down on the ground reflexively, a bloody arrow grazed the top of his head, and firmly nailed to the ground in front of him.

...on the ground?

At some point, the ground beneath him turned into the most common yellow earth. Only then did Osamu Dazai realize that the voice he was familiar with just now belonged to Hong Yao.

"It seems that I'm lucky." He got up from the ground and laughed lowly.

Karasuma didn't answer, and he didn't care.Hong Yao's footsteps behind her gradually approached: "Are you okay?"

Just as Osamu Dazai was about to answer, Karasuma's voice suddenly exploded from above his head: "Don't look back! Close your eyes!"

"Varied--"

"Don't talk." Probably knowing that he would not obey orders, Karasuma directly pointed out the current situation, "Among the cracks in history, never waver from your heart. Close your eyes and don't think about anything!"

A gap in history... In other words, this is the history of Hong Yao's visit?

"It's nothing strange. There are histories that were saved in time, and there are histories that were not saved in time, and there are also histories that failed to save." Seeing Osamu Dazai close his eyes as he said, Karasuma's voice relaxed a little, "Now, you There is still a chance to turn back. Go on, when this happens, I can no longer help you—make a choice, Dazaiden.”

The moment I closed my eyes, the sound of golden horses and iron horses and the hustle and bustle of people in my ears quickly faded away.Osamu Dazai faintly heard Hong Yao's smile.

"What is Master laughing at?"

"I seem to have misread it," she replied. "I thought there was someone here."

"In this kind of place, no one is better than someone."

"also me……"

The words after "I" could not be heard at all, and the silence returned to Osamu Dazai's ears.He slowly opened his eyes, and saw that although there was still a lone yellow land under his feet, the surrounding scenery had turned into nothingness again.

"I don't have a choice either." He said, "What should I do?"

There seemed to be a sigh in the air, and when Dazai listened carefully, the sigh disappeared again, and what came to his ears was the usual calm voice of Karasuma: "Go all the way, don't turn back."

Osamu Dazai took the first step.

The void has changed.

There is still nothing in the field of vision, time and space have lost their meaning at this moment, and what is displayed in front of him is pure "emptiness" that is difficult for human beings to understand.In the emptiness, there are flowing cloud-like lines and images of indescribable specific shapes, which may be fragments of other time and space. Dazai Osamu can't judge, but just follow what Karasuma said, and move forward by intuition.

Time is useless here, and Osamu Dazai doesn't know how long he has been away. Under such circumstances, the purpose of coming here is even forgotten—because there is nothing here.All he can do is move forward and move forward.

... No, is he really moving forward?

There is no concept of space here, and of course there is no so-called direction.Going forward is the same as going backward, and the same is true for walking and stopping.He had no way of judging how far he had traveled, whether he was getting closer or farther away from his destination.Just like a traveler in the desert will desperately search for traces of oases, in such an environment, it is natural for people to want to find some different scenery.

Then he saw it.

The blood-stained sword pierced through the void, and Hong Yao's figure appeared not far away with his back facing him.The blood on her body was not much less than the blade, but she still raised the knife to block the short knife attacking from the air.

Then, she leaped high, and the blood-stained kimono drew a bright red arc in the air. When she slashed down with the sword, the bone snake-like enemy army dissipated instantly.Hong Yao lowered her eyes and sheathed the knife, probably noticing his gaze, she raised her eyes and looked in his direction.

"Dazai?" Hong Yao called out in a little surprise.Different from the alienation just now when they didn't know each other, she naturally stroked the messy sideburns in the battle and asked, "Are you okay?"

She didn't seem guilty at all, she just took it for granted that he shouldn't be here, as she did against the retrograde army.At that moment, Osamu Dazai felt a mysterious emotion that he had never felt before.

To say that it was the relief after the goal was achieved would be a bit fickle, but to say that I like it is not that strong.He just thought "Sure enough, that's what Hong Yao should do", and he was really relieved.

...Even if the culprit who brought him here is still her.

"I'm here to find you." He turned to her and said.

Hong Yao sighed helplessly: "Even if it's Fukuchi Sakurachi's method, you can't escape from prison like this, can you?"

See, in that respect, she's still the same...huh?

Dazai's complexion changed.Didn't Hong Yao know about his escape from the "book" a long time ago?When they met in this boundless void, the first thing she asked him was this question that she already knew the answer to?

"Dazai?" Hong Yao took a step closer strangely.Then, she disappeared like a cloud in front of Osamu Dazai.

Another fragment of time and space.While realizing this, Osamu Dazai also realized another more ominous news.

After seeing the red medicine, he changed direction.Now……

He looked into the void, the same void in all directions.

Now, he can't find the way forward.

...although he doesn't really care.To die in the void is also a poignant ending.But maybe it was because of seeing Hong Yao twice just now, at this moment Osamu Dazai thought of her again.

He felt that Hong Yao should be very concerned.She is different from him. In her heart, there are always too many unfinished things.

So I still have to look for it.

Convincing himself with this almost perfunctory reason, Osamu Dazai chose a direction at random, intending to make a final effort.Didn't Karasuma say it before, follow the guidance of the heart--does it mean to follow the intuition?

Thinking like this, he took a step forward, before his back foot landed, someone grabbed his wrist suddenly.

Then, the hand naturally slid down and intersected with his palm.

It was a hand he was too familiar with. He was so familiar with the direction of every palm print and the thickness of every cocoon that he could trace it out of thin air; When this hand appeared here, he would suspect that he was hallucinating.

He wanted to confirm who was coming, and imagined that as he had planned at the beginning, after finding her, he called out "red medicine" in a distant and calm manner, and opened his mouth, but even he could hear his trembling final voice: "Miss?"

The palms were clenched even tighter, Osamu Dazai felt a hand gently resting on the side of his neck, gently preventing him from turning back: "Look forward, go forward, Dazai. I'm behind you."

Following her words, the cloud-like scene in front of her eyes became clearer.The space has a meaning, time starts to flow again, and the front is the place where countless space-time fragments meet. For some reason, Hong Yao didn't elaborate, but Osamu Dazai also intuitively felt that it was the end.

He resumed his steps.

As he started to march, the surrounding suddenly became lively.Countless fragments of time and space are projected here, and this time, everything around them becomes their stories.Countless figures of Dazai Osamu and Hongyao appeared around, and their familiar and no longer familiar voices came from their ears, chirping and performing their respective lives and stories.

Osamu Dazai suddenly saw himself in the kaleidoscope-like changing scene picture, a boy in a black suit sitting on Lupin's high chair, holding a photo between his two fingers to show his friends.The girl in the photo is wearing a white feather, waving a knife, as proud as a white crane in the nine heavens.

That was the first scene that he should have forgotten long ago, and now it was unfolding in front of the two of them like fate.At that time, the boy's eyes were full of pure evil that only belonged to the night, Dazai Osamu and Koyaku couldn't help but clenched his hand a little more, in exchange for a faint smile from behind.

It was no longer a girl's voice, but it made him feel the vigorous vitality even more than the photos at that time.Osamu Dazai couldn't help but want to concentrate on distinguishing, but the laughter disappeared in more familiar or unfamiliar fragments and whispers together with the boy in Lupin.

Feeling slightly lost, Osamu Dazai suddenly remembered a rumor.It was an old myth every child had heard, about the taboos of the Way of the Dead if one were to bring back a lover from hell.He wants to keep walking forward holding his lover's hand tightly, the people in front cannot turn back, and the people behind are not allowed to speak.

The people in front cannot look back, because if they look back, they will lose their way forward; the people behind cannot speak, because their words will only blend into the countless true or false dialogues around them, and become one of the factors that interfere with the judgment of lovers.So they must hold hands, use this only intersection to determine each other's existence, and run together to the only intersection point in the world.

Run to the world where he meets her.

"I seem to have a little understanding of Mr. Karasuma's intentions." Regardless of whether Hong Yao could understand or not, Osamu Dazai suddenly sighed endlessly.

At the time of "Together", he chose to go to the port mafia as a hostage, and kept him by Hongyao's side, asking whether his ability and wisdom would be used by Hongyao; when Hongyao went to another world, he tried to find him He asked him whether he could maintain the calmness and judgment he was proud of in the absence of Hongyao; after Hongyao disappeared, he wanted to wait for himself to come to the door on his own initiative, asking him if he had made up his mind, Take a risk that may be meaningless for her.

And at the end of time, Karasuma provided him with the only chance to turn around, not because he didn't trust him, nor because he deliberately concealed it.It was an expectation of a safe return that he could not understand at that time. Only by walking through the magnificent, charming and perilous passage of time in front of him, can he understand that "no turning back" is also a blessing that is too deep to be hidden.

That's a question that doesn't need an answer.Although he was a bit unwilling, Osamu Dazai had to admit that maybe this weather-beaten Gudao had already seen his answer before he answered.

——He asked him if he could give up the reality of death that was at his fingertips, and take the red medicine back to the world that he tried to escape countless times but couldn't.

—His answer is "yes".The scene in front of me is still constantly changing. There are countless him and her in countless worlds. They are the only intersecting lifeline.Having seen countless selves, Osamu Dazai can answer without hesitation: he longs for the thorny world in Hong Yao's eyes far more than he longs for the sweetness of death.

At the end of the field of vision, the lingering and soft cherry pink forms a magnificent picture like clouds.It was the canopy of the Manyyezakura tree. It seemed that after walking a few steps, they were standing under the blossoming cherry trees.He was already familiar with the Honmaru building in front of him, Dazai Osamu let out a long and rare sigh of relief, only to realize that his shoulders were already tense due to too much tension.

... It is really not an easy task to maintain calmness in such an unpredictable time and space.

"Oh, you've worked so hard for so long, it's only natural to celebrate." Karasuma was standing not far away, wearing a battle uniform but no armor.Osamu Dazai responded casually with "Yes", and was about to turn his head to look at Hong Yao: "Miss, we—"

Before the word "I'm back" was out of my mouth, a hand was put on the side of his neck, stopping his movement softly but resolutely. "Don't look back", even though Hong Yao still didn't speak, Osamu Dazai still understood her meaning.

This is still just a fragment of history somewhere.

Osamu Dazai almost broke out in a cold sweat, he clenched Hong Yao's hand tightly like a conditioned reflex, and was patted on the shoulder by Hong Yao as if to appease, and he held back with the same force.The two stood in place, quietly watching the scene in front of them. This time, the figures in history did not see them.

Karasuma nodded behind the two of them: "It's so leisurely, Mikazuki. Why don't you come and participate in the children's activities?"

"Hahaha, since Xiao Karasuma has invited you, it's not easy for the old man to refuse—Xiao Humaru, do you want to come together?"

"The wild fox has something to do. Mr. Candlestick Qie invited me to make fried tofu for the celebration, so I will not accompany you."

As the three said, this is the scene of a celebration.Today's meeting place has come to an end, and the curling smoke rises from the kitchen, and the banquet is about to begin.Many swords have come to the venue one after another. Dazai Osamu heard a loud belch under the tree, and after a closer look, he saw Jiro Tachi and Nihon Kai, each drinking happily from a jar.

"Mr. Jiro, Mr. Japan, this is wine for banquets..." Wuhu Tui wanted to stop him but didn't dare, standing where he was anxiously.Hurrying about his master's needs, the tiger pulled out the corner of Japan's clothes with a groan, scaring the Japanese number one sober up on the spot: "Ah, oh, um, um, I see!"

"I'm sorry!" Wu Hutui hurriedly led the tiger away, not daring to urge him any more, and carried a basket full of wine bowls and started distributing them table by table.

"The appetizers are ready, who will share them—where's the master?" Horikawa Kunihiro and Jikinmaru came pushing the dining car, and California Qingguang came to help while saying: "I'm sorting out the documents for this battle, this time But the big victory, you have to report it carefully.”

"Then Ding is also busy with these things, right? He is best at this kind of red tape."

"Yes, Mr. Gujin is also helping. Qingguang and I came here first." Yamato Shou'an said as he went to pick up another dining car, but almost bumped into the hurrying Five Tigers, "What's the matter, Five Tigers?"

"Woo..." The five tigers retreated to look at Yamato Shou'an, and then at the bone and catfish pushing the cart, "The wine bowl is missing two."

"Is the count wrong? There are more and more people in this pill, and it is really easy to count wrong." Imaiken, who was dividing the chopsticks, stopped, stopped, and interjected.

"I clearly counted three times..."

"Is the result different three times?" Atsuto Shiro joked.Seeing that the five tigers were getting more and more anxious, they scratched their heads helplessly: "It's okay, I should have taken a few more sets when I moved the tableware. You can go over there and have a look. If you don't have any more, just take it."

The five tigers retreated in agreement, and hurried away with the tigers.The knives were busy arranging everyone's seats, Yaken Toshiro suddenly raised his head: "It seems to be raining?"

But the sky is clearly clear.The swordsmen raised their heads one after another, and spread out their hands in Yiqi Yizheng, and happened to catch a drop of raindrops falling with cherry blossom petals: "It seems to be solar rain."

"Then the banquet won't be held?" Taiko Zhong Zhenzong disappointed, "It feels like it hasn't been this lively for a long time."

Ranya echoed disappointedly: "I also want everyone to get together."

"Then why don't you just keep driving?" A lively female voice with a little childishness interjected.When everyone heard the words, they stood up one after another: "Master."

"Anyway, it was light rain, and it stopped after a while." Hong Yao came from the direction of the castle tower, and said with a smile, "Everyone has been preparing for this party for several days, so we can't just let it go so casually."

The song fairy Kanesada behind her agreed: "Admiring the cherry blossoms in the face of the drizzle is not very interesting."

Seeing that the sky was not cloudy at all, the rain obviously wouldn't last long, and the swordsmen all agreed with the judge's opinion.With the appearance of the red medicine, most of the swords and swords also entered the table lively. Tsurumaru Kuninaga put one hand on Yanrong's shoulder, and went over him and Jinjian to look at Xiaohumaru: "Speaking of it, it's a sunny day. Rain is also a good omen—this little Fox Maru should know better, right?"

"I know, it's the legend of a fox marrying a daughter, right?" Jin Jian raised his hand and frowned in distressed denial, "But seeing a fox marrying doesn't seem to be a good omen?"

"There is indeed such a saying, a fox marrying a daughter is not allowed to be seen by others... something like that." Kokomaru nodded in agreement, "If Tsurumaru-den says this, it's not a good omen at all, huh?"

"Well, even though that's the case, since it can be chosen by the fox as a wedding day, it must be a good day, right?"

Taigu Zhong Zhenzong couldn't help interjecting: "It's too far-fetched, Mr. Crane—"

"Gahahahaha, no matter what, isn't it a good day for us to gather here today?" Yan Rong laughed.

"Well, that's right." Yingmaru also smiled, "Don't worry about these details. For us, this is of course a good day."

This relaxed and happy atmosphere almost infected Osamu Dazai, and he couldn't help smiling a little.At this moment, Hong Yao suddenly tugged at his hand, and handed over two scarlet wine bowls from behind him like a magic trick.

Osamu Dazai suddenly thought of the little annoyance he had just had when the five tigers retired, and couldn't help laughing out loud.He cooperatively poured wine from the jug on the table next to him, and took a bowl from Hong Yao.

At this time, Hong Yao on the banquet also raised his cup: "If the fox is really marrying his daughter today, I don't think he would mind if we bless them?"

"Ah, of course," Xiaohumaru said, raising the wine cooperatively, "Xiaohu is also very happy to wish that little fox girl a smooth life."

This nonsensical blessing was strongly supported by Tsurumaru Kuninaga, who also raised his wine cup and echoed: "The house is safe——"

"Then," Xiao Karasuma also joined in the fun, "for my father, let's talk about our neighbors and beauty."

In the first issue, Yizhen glanced at the younger brothers who were racking their brains to think of words, and echoed with a smile: "An Ning and Longevity."

"Peace and longevity—" Toshiro and the others immediately followed suit.

Mustache smiled and held the wine cup: "No illness and no disaster."

Xie Wan immediately responded cooperatively: "The disease has receded."

"Hahahaha, very good, very good." Sanri Yuezong raised his wine cup with a near smile, and looked at the God Judge from a distance, "Then, for that fox girl, for the master's victory, and for our meeting here -"

Everyone laughed, and Qiqi raised their glasses: "Cheers——"

cheers.Hong Yao and Osamu Dazai chanted silently in their hearts.The vermilion wine cups touched each other, and the two drank it down in one gulp.

Goodbye.

Without the urging of the red medicine, Myriad Leaf Sakura rustled and sprinkled a cherry rain.Osamu Dazai took a step, and the surrounding scene instantly shattered like a mirror image.

Then, he saw an almost identical cherry-pink cloud.

This time should be the real "now".Because Little Karasuma was standing not far away, when she saw them, she bowed slightly: "Oh, the young crow is triumphant, it is worth celebrating."

This is a scene that has never happened, and it is logically impossible to belong to "fragments of history".But out of a certain kind of trepidation, Osamu Dazai couldn't believe that they came back so easily—could that endless corridor belonging to broken time and space be exhausted?

The heat in his palm didn't disappear, but at this moment he suddenly didn't dare to look back.Seeing that he hadn't moved for a long time, a familiar warmth suddenly came from behind him.Osamu Dazai tensed his shoulders subconsciously, and was about to concentrate on listening to what she said, when he was suddenly pushed lightly from behind.

The force is not strong, but the angle is ingenious.Osamu Dazai, who was so focused on his hearing, didn't pay attention, and fell onto the grass on his back.

Then, he saw Hong Yao's smile under the cherry blossoms falling all over the sky.It was a smile that Osamu Dazai seldom saw on Hong Yao, as bright and carefree as the girl at the banquet just now.Their hands were still tightly intertwined, and Hong Yao smiled and wanted to pull him up, but he might as well be pulled hard by him, and she also fell to her knees on the grass.

Only then did Osamu Dazai stand up with a smile, exchanging a hug with her in a half-kneeling position.They smelled the sweet aroma of rice wine in each other's laughter, and the identical aroma blended together. Osamu Dazai rested his chin on Hongyao's shoulder, and inadvertently saw a faint rainbow in the western sky.

"Look." He patted Hong Yao on the shoulder.Hong Yao turned her head to look at Rainbow, and then at him. Neither of them said a word, they just looked at each other, and laughed again with a tacit understanding.

The author has something to say:

Finish

--------------

In fact, I have a lot to say, but I don't think you are willing to watch it, so I will simply apologize.Thank you for reading this, everyone who has followed up should be able to find that the degree of completion of this article is indeed not high, and there are also many stiff and abrupt places. In addition, my life has changed drastically in the past six months and the update is not stable. The experience of following articles is not good. Good morning, I'm really sorry.

How to say, the volume and plot of this article are really beyond my expectation.Everyone should have noticed that the gods have disappeared in the later stage of the curse. In fact, there was a plot originally, but when I wrote the plot, I hadn’t finished the serialization. Maru went to four years ago, there was the line of Mantra and 010), which made it difficult to follow up a lot of foreshadowing that should echo Mantra, and some settings that need to be revealed in Mantra had to be released later , the direct consequence is that I need to increase the volume of the article to make up for the lack of mantras, and the outline is almost completely abolished.At this time, I made a mistake in estimating my own writing skills. I thought I could master it, but the plot still became very loose in the later stage, which is quite a pity for me.In short, after today, I will definitely summarize the gains and losses, and I welcome your criticisms and corrections.

I have asked about the extra talk before, and the more concentrated opinion is to watch the leader Jae. I don’t know if you still want to watch it after so long.If you don't want to read it, I will finish it directly, and if you like it, write it down.However, I plan to review the problems of this article and save the manuscript for the next article. It may not be too soon. If you are interested, you can squat for a while.

Thank you for your company.
