Dazai Osamu is reading a book.

He seemed to be reading with great interest, as if he was immersed in the world of words and couldn't extricate himself.

I say "seemed" because he didn't even open the book. He was just concentrating on looking at the author's signature on the title page.

As long as Yosano Akiko was conscious, he was always holding this book, as if he liked it very much.

They have been living together in this clinic for two weeks.

They didn't say a word to each other.

This small clinic is located deep in Leibo Street. It was converted from an abandoned empty house and looks relatively hidden. Generally, underground organizations would not use heavy weapons in such a place.

It is for this reason that after becoming the scapegoat of the "Immortal Legion" plan, Mori Ogai, who had finally escaped to Yokohama, chose to settle here.

Once he became famous here, he immediately found a way to get Yosano Akiko out of the Special Ability Agent Department.

Even though this poor girl has lost her self-awareness and has isolated herself into a puppet that cannot communicate with the outside world.

"But as long as you're alive, Akiko-chan will definitely be useful." He said with a smile as he pushed Yosano Akiko's wheelchair.

"Rintaro, it's terrible of you to say such things." Alice next to him said like a little adult, shaking her head.

In the past, Alice was merely used as a tool by Mori Ogai, and she was not given any emotions.

But after the war, her personality was set to be like Yosano Akiko, or in other words, like Akiko in the past.

Lively and cute, but also a little sharp-tongued.

"There's nothing we can do. Our next plan cannot be separated from Xiao Jingzi." Mori Ogai made a bitter face and showed an awkward smile.

He half leaned over, covering the dazed Yosano Akiko like a dark cloud, and soothed her, "Don't be afraid, Akiko, I will fix you."

Repair it, use it again, repair it again, and put it back into use...

This is the optimal solution.

Yosano Akiko was shaking unconsciously, her pupils contracted sharply, and she could hardly breathe.

Alice next to him immediately said, "Rintaro, it's time to go back. It's very cold by the river. Can't you see that Jingzi is a little uncomfortable?"

Mori Ogai apologized, "It's my fault, it's my fault, let's go back!"

He was pushing his wheelchair back when he turned around and saw a young man floating in the middle of the river. He looked peaceful, with his hands crossed on his chest and a book on his chest.

This made Mori Ogai feel a little curious.

No matter if it was suicide or homicide, or even if someone fell into the water, no one would hold the book against their chest like this, right?

As his thought came to mind, Alice beside him stamped her feet and muttered, "Really? It's rare for me to take Jingzi out for a walk. It would be unlucky to meet a dead person."

"Let Alice show mercy and rescue this guy!"

As she spoke, she floated up and stretched out her hand above the river, trying to pull the boy out.

But the moment they touched, like the little mermaid turning into foam when the sun rose, Alice dissipated in the sunlight, leaving only countless points of light.

Mori Ogai opened his eyes wide, showing an expression of surprise and delight. Alice appeared beside him again, hiding behind him in fear, with a look of horror on her face.

"Rintaro..."

Mori Ogai smiled, his smile became more and more obvious, the arc of his lips became wider and wider, until he couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Akira-chan, you always bring me good luck, that's awesome!"

An expression of uncontrollable fear appeared on Yosano Akiko's pale face. She still had no perception of the outside world and had no idea what was happening.

But subconsciously, she was deeply afraid that she would bring misfortune to others again.

Dazai Osamu opened his eyes and turned to look at the three people on the shore in the water.

Everyone's face is distorted, like a bizarre monster painting.

This world is so boring...

Why is Teacher Liuli not there every time I go to see her?

Is this a test of fate, or a test given by Teacher Liuli?

Anyway, go visit again.

This time when he knocked on the door, he looked at her with an angry expression and said:

"Because I didn't see you four times in a row, I decided to commit suicide by jumping into the river."

"But when I was at the bottom of the river, I still wanted to see you very much, so I climbed up again by myself."

Would she be surprised or horrified to hear such words?

Thinking this, Dazai Osamu slowly climbed ashore, took off his wet coat, and planned to leave directly with the half-dry and half-wet book in his hand.

"Young man, if you have nowhere to go, would you like to come with me?" asked Mori Ogai.

Dazai Osamu looked at him with scrutinizing eyes, his eyeballs motionless, like glass beads embedded in the eye sockets of the France doll.

After a while, he nodded casually and agreed nonchalantly.

Perhaps, by following this person, I can meet Teacher Liuli earlier.

After all, the new school girl who appeared in the protagonist group was really similar to the girl in the wheelchair.

……

Mori Ogai went out very early today. He has been going out more and more frequently recently, and his expression and tone are becoming more and more depressed.

But Dazai Osamu could see that beneath his apparent decadence was his almost uncontrollable excitement and his burgeoning ambition.

The leader of the Port Mafia is getting sicker and sicker.

A little boring……

Dr. Mori is boring, and Miss Akiko is also boring.

As expected, I still want to meet Teacher Liuli.

The more I can't see him, the more I want to see him. It has almost become an obsession.

So far, he has walked to Lan Tang's house six times and rang the doorbell, but no one responded each time.

Sure enough, someone is obstructing it?

Thinking of this, he sat on the dirty bed in the clinic, with a creepy smile on his face, and said in a light and airy tone, like a girl in love,

"Really? I've visited five or six times, but Teacher Liuli isn't home every time... This is too unfortunate."

"Akira-chan, do you know that feeling of wanting to see someone so badly but never being able to?"

This was the first time Dazai had spoken to her in two weeks.

But Yosano Akiko did not respond to him.

Compared to her previous lifeless appearance, she has more or less regained some self-awareness, which is inseparable from Dazai Osamu's repeated reading in the clinic.

But even so, she still didn't say a word, but just hugged her knees with her hands and huddled in the corner of another bed.

Dazai Osamu didn't care. He waved the book "Fate/Stay Night" in his hand and continued, "The person I want to meet is the author of this book. I think Akiko-chan is also interested in her."

"After all, few people can describe the experience of dying, the joy of being resurrected, and the fear of dying again so vividly."

"Sometimes I even suspect that Teacher Liuli has returned to the human world from hell~"

"Jingzi, do you think it's possible for people to be resurrected from the dead?"

Dazai Osamu looked at her frightened eyes and asked in a pretentious manner.

Yosano Akiko's lips trembled, and she began to shake unconsciously again. Everything on Toan Island was like a nightmare, grabbing her soul and determined to drag her into the abyss.

"Are you scared, Akiko-chan?" Dazai Osamu moved closer to see her expression like a curious black cat.

Yosano Akiko just trembled.

After a long while, he withdrew his gaze boredly and said in a clear and pleasant voice, "Soon, you won't have to be afraid anymore."

"The Savior is sending her accomplices to rescue you."
