Dazai Osamu was not in a good mood, or rather, a little bad.

Yokohama is not a pleasant city. Like post-war Berlin, it is divided into two halves by barbed wire, half heaven and half hell.

Teacher Liuli undoubtedly lives in the wealthy area in the north.

It is even very likely that it is an old Chinese family that has just declined. Only there would there be a lot of outdated etiquette.

Both Japanese and Western cultures are reflected in her works, interspersed with in-depth understanding of the ancient country next door, which is the cultural tradition that only the old Chinese have.

The island nation has an almost pathological admiration for that country's culture, especially in the later stages of the war.

The other side's transcenders can form a company, but their transcenders can't even form a single one. The contrast is so sharp that it's almost laughable.

So, after Dazai Osamu arrived in Yokohama, the first place he went to was the wealthy area in the north.

He had never left Tsugaru, but surprisingly, he adapted well to life in the outside world, just like a whale was born to live in the sea.

He searched based on the fragments of information in the novel and the author's introduction:

A high-end apartment with a sea view, surrounded by beautiful greenery, with a large selection of books and periodicals available nearby, and a similar number of Japanese confectionery and cake shops...

All the clues burst into his pupils like plain words, were easily accepted by his brain, and then analyzed to find the corresponding location.

Soon, he saw a brand name that he recognized in a high-end apartment.

Lan Tang.

So, Teacher Liuli’s surname is Landang.

"Lantang Liuli, what a nice name." He thought so and pressed the doorbell.

I want to scare her and then listen to her talk.

What reason would she use to persuade me not to die this winter?

……

Of course no one opened the door.

Lan Tang is working as a social animal in the Hong Kong underworld, while Liuli is watching a movie with Zhong Ye, and Lan Tang's house is empty.

Dazai pressed the button twice again, but all he could hear was a crisp ringing sound, and no one came to open the door.

The excitement, anticipation and artificial joy on his face all disappeared, and a cold, lifeless expression appeared on his face.

He looked at the house number a few more times, then turned and left.

Dazai Osamu was a little surprised. According to Teacher Ruri's original situation, she was like a stay-at-home girl who rarely went out. She was busy with her manuscripts every morning and would never leave the house.

But fortunately he was not too disappointed.

The more important the matter, the more twists and turns it will be; the more important the person, the more difficult it will be to meet her.

This is the revelation from fate, allowing you to learn to cherish in the process.

That's what Fate/Stay Night says.

Thinking of this, he walked briskly to a bookstore not far away and bought the newly published "Fate/Stay Night" and headed south.

Since I can’t see Teacher Liuli for the time being, let’s go to the south.

Maybe, you can meet other interesting people and things there?

As long as you are alive, you can find the meaning of life.

Thinking of this, he walked against the crowd with the book in his hand. As if he sensed something in the dark, he stopped at a certain moment.

But nothing was found.

Maybe it's an illusion?

……

The movie that Ruri and Chuuya watched together was "Roman Holiday".

Perhaps due to the high level of cultural insecurity after the war, there were almost no Japanese films in the entire cinema. All they showed were action blockbusters from Europe and the United States, which were of no particular interest.

Liuli was dazzled by what she saw. She actually had no interest in these old films. According to the chronological order of her previous two lives, she had watched these movies more than once.

After thinking about it, she simply gave the right to choose to Nakahara Chuuya next to her. He flipped through the books casually and felt at a loss as well, so he just pointed to one at random.

Liuli looked at the title of "Roman Holiday" and didn't question his choice. She just said quite naturally, "The poster looks beautiful. It's an old-fashioned black and white style."

“It looks like something worth looking forward to.”

She spoke as if she had never seen the movie.

Nakata, who was standing next to him, was visibly relieved. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you want to buy anything else?"

Liuli took his hand and walked to the ticket office. "You need to buy tickets first. You can also buy some snacks. Can you help me get some for me?"

The people around him nodded naturally.

There weren't many people in the cinema, and the few people who were there were very far apart from each other. Japanese people are accustomed to maintaining a certain social distance, whether they are close friends or strangers.

In fact, there are very few people who walk into the cinema holding hands like Chuuya and Ruri.

When they sat down in the seats in the middle of the venue, the lights above suddenly went out, and darkness enveloped everyone.

Liuli felt that Chuuya subconsciously tightened his grip on her hand.

Soon, the big screen in the front lit up, and as the music slowly flowed, black and white characters appeared on the screen one by one.

Princess Anne, who is bound by rules and regulations, and Joe, a mediocre reporter in the ordinary world, meet on the streets of Rome.

The princess stepped into the ordinary world and felt the colorful life; the reporter unloaded the burden of work and his life was filled with new vitality.

After a day of freedom, happiness and love, the two returned to each other's world, and they can rely on these beautiful memories to comfort themselves for the rest of their lives.

Nakahara Chuuya was so mesmerized that he only reacted when the big screen went black. The people around him started clapping and leaving one after another, and he heard Liuli singing softly next to him.

The melody was very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

"The encounter was brief, and the actress left that same night."

The reporter and the princess only had one day of free time, and the next day they returned to their own world.

"But throughout her life, roses fell with song."

But the princess will never forget this day, just as she exclaimed from the bottom of her heart: I love Rome, and the days in Rome will be unforgettable for me.

"The painter lived a lonely life, enduring the wind and snow."

The reporter still lived an ordinary life. Perhaps he would never meet the princess again in his lifetime.

"But in his lifetime he had a million roses."

But he would never forget the wonderful day he had on the streets of Rome.

They walked out of the cinema together, and the bright sunlight quickly greeted them, as if they had returned to Yokohama from Rome in an instant.

Chuuya murmured, "Movies are really magical."

Liuli nodded in agreement, "Indeed, it's like actually going to Rome and spending a wonderful day there."

"Then, do you want to try it with me?" Liuli asked suddenly.

"what?"

Seeing Chuuya's puzzled expression, she smiled and said, "Let's get a haircut, eat ice cream, go to a sidewalk cafe, and go shopping. It's not raining today, so let's just take a walk in the sunshine..."

Zhongyuan Chuuya looked at Liuli. She smiled in the sunlight, her eyebrows relaxed, the corners of her mouth curved, her fluffy silver hair sparkled with a crystal luster, and her voice was so light as if a bird was dancing on the tip of her tongue.

"People need adventure. How about a day of fun?"

"it is good!"

They walked hand in hand on the streets of Yokohama, strolling in the sunshine. The sunlight filtered through the treetops, leaving spots of light. Chuuya thought vaguely:

Yokohama, it turns out, is also a very beautiful place.
