Special investigation report from Yokohama

The smile on Dazai's face paused.The next moment, his expression changed without warning, and he became serious: "I found this in the shrine? It seems that Yukio Mishima has a backhand that I didn't expect. Miss, you must be careful."

Hong Yao: ... Do you think I'm stupid?

She was about to be laughed at by the other party—to be honest, when Nakahara Chuya deduced that the bug on Grandma's body was placed by Osamu Dazai, she guessed that there might be one in the shrine as well.After thinking about it, you can understand that the shrine is under her control, it is impossible for outsiders to enter, and Osamu Dazai has shown that he is not surprised by Grandma's death, and is even guiding her in the direction of investigation. It can't be done, it's just that she subconsciously chose to trust her before.

It was just a whole afternoon of self-adjustment, plus so many things happened, she thought she wouldn't be so angry-but this guy Dazai is too unscrupulous!The entire shrine, including public space and private space, was spared except for the toilet, even under her and Yin's window sills!

Is he a bug wholesaler!This is too perverted!

Osamu Dazai was still acting, Hong Yao didn't intend to cooperate at all, and asked directly: "When did you guess that grandma has something to do with the laboratory?"

Osamu Dazai was silent for a long time before answering in a low voice: "At first, grandma couldn't speak or write, so she was the most reliable person to some extent." It is not surprising that the secret experiment would choose such a person to do peripheral work.

"So you also knew about Grandma's death?"

"...Yes." Osamu Dazai explained, "Yukio Mishima was worried that Grandma would leak the secrets and came to her. At that time, he had already planned to attack the shrine and the young lady..."

Then Grandma chose to leave alone—in fact, after a little thought, she could understand that she wanted to take advantage of Yukio Mishima's eyes on the shrine to escape quietly, so as to protect herself.

It's human nature driven by life instinct, but because of limited knowledge, she doesn't know that Yukio Mishima doesn't intend to let anyone go, so she looks very stupid.Similar things abound in history, not to mention an uneducated village woman, even a general, often cannot avoid this choice of self-destruction.Hong Yao would not be disturbed by this kind of thing, and continued to ask the most critical question: "These—"

She raised her chin at the bugs in the biscuit box: "When did you put them in?"

The answer to her this time was Osamu Dazai's complete silence.

This is a glaring trap question.Osamu Dazai could of course answer "in the beginning". At that time, because of the "death" of Oda Sakunosuke, he still had a clear murderous intention towards Koyaku.In that case, it's not surprising that they tried to test each other in any way.

But it was also the red medicine's defense against him that made him know that it was absolutely impossible to install this kind of thing in the room at that time-not to mention anything else, it was impossible for him to sneak into any place under her defensive barrier. Locked room for him.Even if he could open all the locks in Yokohama with a single wire, he was helpless in the face of this unnatural force.

So the correct answer is "after that".After Hong Yao let go of his guard against him, he despicably used her trust to find out where she came from.This is also the main reason why Hong Yao is so angry. It's not that she can't understand temptation and questioning. What she hates is that her trust is used by him.

This is tantamount to betrayal in her heart.

Both parties knew the answer well, but all they showed was suffocating silence.Oda Sakunosuke and Sakaguchi Ango looked at each other, then quietly exited the room one after the other.Of course, Akutagawa Yin couldn't allow Sakaguchi Ango to walk around in the shrine casually, and followed him out. Now Ken looked at Osamu Dazai and Koyao, and followed Akutagawa Yin's pace silently, carefully covering up for the two of them. the door.

As the silent time passed by, the atmosphere in the room became more and more oppressive.Hongyao's annoyance at Osamu Dazai's behavior added another layer of annoyance at his attitude. Osamu Dazai has a meticulous understanding of people's emotions. She doesn't believe that he doesn't know what she wants to hear.

An apology, a promise, whatever—it's not a silence that doesn't seem to matter how you understand it.It's as if their relationship, good or bad, doesn't make a difference to this guy, and even being caught doing it is just one less friend who doesn't matter.

No, this attitude is not the attitude towards friends at all.No one would use the despicable method of eavesdropping on a friend. To this guy, she might just be a useful pawn.

This realization annoyed her even more.Hong Yao admits that she is not very calm now, but she really does not need to be calm.She just finds it ridiculous that he doesn't care about Osamu Dazai.

Wasn't this the person who asked her for help first?

She just responded to him, as she responded to the sword's emotions and expectations, and did everything possible to respond to him-is there something wrong with that?

"Dazai-kun," she squeezed out the ultimatum word by word through her teeth, "Aren't you going to explain something to me?"

What can be explained?

It was indeed curiosity and defensiveness at first.The place she chose was too coincidental. Even if it had nothing to do with the Supernatural Secret Service, it was hard not to make people suspect that it was related to the secret experiment here.He had noticed the issue of the smuggling channel a long time ago. He originally planned to go there after solving Mimic. Later, he wanted to use the problem of the secret experiment to add some obstacles to Mr. Mori. No matter from which point of view, she appeared too coincidentally. up.

Later... Later, it was Yukio Mishima who found Grandma.He had already met Mishima before that, the experiment was too destructive, and Mishima was obviously determined to get rid of everyone in the shrine, so he didn't take back the bug out of fear—no.Osamu Dazai carefully analyzed his own psychology. Perhaps it was not pure worry, but curiosity and - to put it more bluntly - the desire to spy.

There are endless mysteries about her, and he selfishly wants to walk into this fog and be the person closest to her, not a dispensable outsider in the shrine, a person destined to be left behind by her who is about to leave.Even taking this action, and he did get countless information about her from this action-so he didn't regret it.

Osamu Dazai is well aware of the evilness of his own nature.Give him another chance, and he will only do it more secretly.

"Because there are too many mysteries about Miss, even I can only see a half-knowledge..." Osamu Dazai let his mouth say something that angered her even more, "As a Mafia, it's normal to use this kind of trick, right? Didn’t the lady say the same thing when she found Grandma’s body? In the final analysis, it’s the reason why the lady entrusts others too easily. If you didn’t believe me in the first place, I wouldn’t find a chance to let them go—”

"Osamu Dazai!"

Osamu Dazai didn't speak any more, but just lowered his head to avoid Hong Yao's gaze.

He was right, Red Yao thought.It is not only him who is looking forward to getting a response from the other party, but also her.She works hard to manage this friendship like she treats a sword, and in the final analysis, she also wants to get a response from the other party's friendship.Now it seems that she shouldn't have expected it from the beginning.

Thinking of this, she suddenly lost her interest in getting angry, and instead of looking at Osamu Dazai, she reached out to pick up the cracker box with the bug.

"I thought we were friends," she said, turning the cookie box over.The black plastic cubes crackled and hit the floor between the two of them, some cracked the shell, exposing the wiring inside.

Osamu Dazai shrank back in the chair following the sound.He subconsciously raised his head and looked at Hong Yao, as if he wanted to refute something, but moved his lips.

Hong Yao watched his movements, and seeing that he didn't even utter a word in the end, she threw the biscuit box back on the table.It's not disappointing, it's just a "sure enough" feeling.She picked up the remaining wine on the table and poured it on the bugs.

"never mind."

Koyaku opened the door and went out. It was already night, and the shrine was covered by stars all over the sky. She let out a long and irritated sigh of relief, and saw Imaizu running over, hugging her as if to comfort her.

She squatted down and hugged Jin Jian, and also comforted his long gray hair: "I'm fine."

"Is my lord leaving?"

In fact, it was time to leave, but Hong Yao was injured today, and the supernatural ability to prevent the wound from healing is too strange, so it is better to go to the government for inspection as soon as possible.So Hong Yao nodded, and asked, "Do you want me to help Jin Jian bring the main body back?"

Jinjian raised his head and met Hong Yao's eyes.The light in his red eyes is purer than that of a child: "But my lord still wants someone to remember me, right? I stayed here for my lord." If he wants to return to his original body, it is equivalent to Osamu Dazai and His contract is automatically released, and Osamu Dazai will also be affected by the enchantment of the shrine and the rules of the world and forget the red medicine.

While there are many issues with this person, the forgotten party can also be painful.Jinjian still remembers how confused he was when he found out that Minamoto Yoshitsune and the people around him didn't know the existence of "Jinjian". Of course, he would not want Hongyao to go through it again-even if they might never see each other again.

"My lord, go at ease." He forced a smile, "I will always be obedient, so...don't forget me."

"No." Hong Yao looked back at him, "You are the only one I can use to shake my sword."

"……I'm leaving."

After all, the young man's voice was still slightly crying: "Bon voyage."

No matter how long the delay, the time of parting will come.Koyaku stood up, walked around the house, and found Ango Sakaguchi and Sakunosuke Oda talking under the tree.

Although she and Osamu Dazai did not speak loudly, the house is not very soundproof, Hong Yao guessed that they must have heard her shout.However, both of them acted nonchalantly, and Ango Sakaguchi nodded politely to her, and immediately bid farewell.

"Xiaoyin." She called out, "You and I will see off Mr. Sakaguchi."

Akutagawa Yinxiang realized something, responded, and walked down the mountain behind Hong Yao.Oda Sakunosuke hesitated for a moment, but turned around and walked into the study again.

Osamu Dazai was still sitting alone on the chair, his movements didn't even change.

"Dazai." He called out.Only then did Osamu Dazai come back to his senses, and looked away from the mess on the ground: "Oda Tsukuru."

"... When she comes back, apologize to her well." Oda Sakunosuke looked down and persuaded.

This level is really too much.

Osamu Dazai smiled slowly. The components of this smile are so complicated that others cannot understand, but the most common one is the boundless loneliness of Osamu Oda who is familiar with him: "No, she won't come back."

At the gate of the shrine, Ango Sakaguchi stopped under the torii gate.

"Sakaguchi-kun?"

"I'm sorry," he said, glancing back, before taking another step, "but Dazai—"

When the young clerk turned his head, there was nothing behind the torii gate.He felt that he wanted to say something just now, but he didn't have anyone to talk to.

"Strange." He muttered.An inexplicable force drove him to ignore this sense of disobedience, and walked down the mountain.

The so-called end of the song is roughly like this.Osamu Dazai thought.

Oda Sakunosuke had to go back to look after the child, and took away the Shintachi that Koyaku had entrusted him to install; Koyaku left with Akutagawa Gin, and Ango did the same.It's funny to say, the last thing left in the huge shrine is him, an outsider——

Ah, he noticed the unusual shadow on the eaves, raised his head, and saw Imken sitting on the eaves without any surprise.

"Aren't you going?" he said.This sentence has two meanings, one is "will you not leave your master", and the other is "will you leave with me".

Jin Jian shook his head.

"I manifested with the power of the shrine, and I can't leave." Maybe one day in the future, I will truly manifest again through the main body, but Imaiken is still angry with this person, so I didn't say anything.

"I see." Osamu Dazai was not surprised.However, Jinjian still had something to say. He raised one hand and let it go on top of his head, and a thin letter fluttered down with the wind.

Osamu Dazai reached out and grabbed the envelope: "This—"

"It's a letter of introduction from my lord." Imai said without emotion, "Armed detective agency in Yokohama."

Ah—Osamu Dazai remembered.After Nakahara Chuya left the shrine, Koyao suggested that he go to the side that saved people.

"...It's really her style." Osamu Dazai replied without knowing what to say.

Jin Jian jumped down from the eaves: "Are you leaving?"

Osamu Dazai didn't answer the question knowingly, but just held the envelope in his hand and waved him as farewell.He stepped out of the torii with the shrine and the starlight on his back. There were no lights on the mountain road, and it was dark at night. Only the occasional starlight reflected by the stone slabs could see the way ahead clearly.

Osamu Dazai did not hesitate, and walked forward along the path he knew so well.There was a child singing from behind, and the lyrics were vague and ancient, so he could only guess that it was a farewell song. He looked back and saw a small black shadow at the end of the torii gate.

The singing voice became illusory and ethereal step by step in the night, and the memory was lost little by little as planned, or in other words, as he walked farther and farther, it was compressed into a certain corner deep in the brain, waiting for the master to hide it from the sky and let it go again. The day it opened.Until the stone road came to an end, the sound of waves not far away could be heard endlessly.Osamu Dazai was alone in a trance in the night, and he couldn't remember how he wandered here for a while.

He subconsciously looked at the envelope in his hand, the handwriting on the envelope was neat.

"From President Yukichi Fukuzawa of Armed Detective Agency"

Could this be the so-called "saving people" place?He was as silent as countless travelers walking alone, letting the sense of loss of emptiness and the sound of the tide submerge him together.The wind in the mountains seemed to bring some unfamiliar songs, but after listening carefully, there were no songs, but the two words came from nowhere and were accompanied by an unfamiliar melody, lingering in his heart with the coolness of autumn.

"The turbulent waves hit the shore on the deserted island, homeless and wandering children."

The author has something to say:

To be honest, I originally only wanted to write about the scene where the song ends and people leave, and Jae forgets everything about looking back sadly at the foot of the mountain.

Why is it only [-] words? !

The song Xiao Jinjian sang is "The stormy waves hit the shore and the deserted island, homeless and wandering children." It comes from "He Han Lang Yong Ji", but it is famous because of the quotation from "The Tale of Genji".
