By the time Dazai Osamu finished vomiting, Takigawa Qingxian had already eaten the rice bowl on the plate in one bite.

Seeing that the other party's complexion improved a bit, he withdrew his previous kindness and returned to the office to deal with the bald paperwork.

On the other hand, Osamu Dazai was lying on the sofa and flipping through the palm-sized book, reading it with relish, and muttering a few words in his mouth.

Takigawa Qingxian did not expect that he could read books. As a person who is naturally interested in books, he set his sights on the book with the red cover many times.

He did not hide his gaze, and it was difficult for Osamu Dazai to miss it a few times, so the black-haired boy closed the book with a snap, and lifted his head from the armrest of the sofa.

"Oh? Takigawa is very interested in the book I read?"

Since their acquaintance, Takikawa has maintained an almost indifferent attitude towards things.

This is the first time that he will take the initiative to cast a concerned look.

Was it a book?

Takigawa Qingxian suddenly had the urge to ask him the title of the book, but he just opened his mouth, and then stared at the paper in his hand, "No, I was just wondering how long you will stay."

Dazai Osamu shook the corner of the spine with one hand, and showed him the cover, as if showing off his treasure, "The Complete Suicide Manual, this is the only wonderful book in the world. With it, I can pass the most Wonderful way to cleanly commit suicide."

"What, it turned out to be a suicide book. It really is Dazai's style, so why are you still alive? Wouldn't it be better to seek relief as soon as possible?" To be honest, he was a little disappointed, and he shouldn't expect someone like Dazai to read something serious. Scripture.

"I thought about it too, but every time I commit suicide, I will fail, and someone will always intervene." Osamu Dazai shook his head, with a troubled expression on his face, "Last time, I finally succeeded, but Mr. Mori saved me."

"Ah, that's such a pity." Takigawa Qingxian's exaggerated acting skills came online again, and there was not much emotion in her scarlet eyes.

Osamu Dazai stuffed the book into the inner pocket of his coat, jumped up from the sofa, his iris-colored eyes sparkled, "Speaking of which, didn't Takikawa ever want to die in the past?"

"Sometimes I always feel that Takigawa is the same as me—" Looking for the meaning of life in this lifeless world, but this process is as fragile as a bubble.

Takigawa Qingxian frowned, with disgust in his eyes, "Do you need me to call the nursing home for you now?"

"Takigawa hates that, and ignores the point every time." Osamu Dazai curled his lips in dissatisfaction.

"I think the mental state of the new couple is the key point, and treatment should be done as early as possible."

Osamu Dazai's words are always mixed with malice that makes him uncomfortable. He doesn't want to live and he doesn't want to make others feel better. If he said just now that he is the same, guarding the false happiness that is vulnerable, he has already been desperate, then Osamu Dazai It must have encouraged him to commit suicide.

In his eyes, death is very difficult, even more difficult than living.

He handed over part of today's documents to his assistant, otherwise he wouldn't have finished processing it by himself before dawn.

Thanks to this, Takigawa Qingxian finished his work in the middle of the night and was able to go back to his apartment to take a shower and sleep for a while.

During the period, Osamu Dazai suggested that he had lost his keys and had nowhere to go, hoping to stay overnight. Then the kind-hearted Takigawa Qingxian kicked open the door of his dormitory, left a word of impoliteness, and took the elevator to the top floor. Osamu Dazai was left alone looking at the door that couldn't close, tsk-tucking.

Changing into a clean yukata, Takigawa Qingxian lay on his side on the couch with his half-wet hair on his back, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he was brought into sleep by the sweeping drowsiness.

He had that familiar dream again.

Although it is a dream, it can always give him the illusion that this is reality, and the dream is constantly developing.

This is a dream with the Taisho period as the background. There is a non-human creature named Oni, who feeds on human flesh and is immortal, but afraid of the sun.

The first time he had such a dream was a year ago, when he was 13 years old and had just joined Hong Kong and Heilongjiang.

After he fell asleep, he dreamed that he appeared in the mountains and forests, and happened to meet ghosts eating people. When he saw a black-bladed knife falling on the ground, he picked it up and fought with the ghosts.

Of course, for the first time, he didn't know that the ghost's weakness was in the neck. After recovering several times, the ghost laughed and sneered. He silently unwrapped the bandage on his right hand and devoured it directly.

Later, he continued to have this dream several times, and learned about the existence of the Ghost Killing Squad, and also learned from them that only by cutting off the neck of the ghost with the sun wheel knife can the ghost be killed.

This time, Takigawa Qingxian sat up from the tatami bed, because he would take off the blindfold before going to sleep, so he was looking at this strange room with his red eyes blinking, like a confused rabbit.

"?"

Seeing the Japanese sword lying quietly beside him, Takigawa Qingxian picked it up, opened the door and walked out in a pure white bathrobe.

Seeing that the house was well decorated, he reckoned that it should be a rich family, and there was a demonic aura around it that almost broke through the sky, and then he met a few little monsters jumping around in the corridor on the way.

"Ah, he's awake!" The little monster ran away noisily.

Takigawa Qingxian came all the way to the courtyard, the moon was hanging high, its shadow was reflected in the pond, and the luxuriant cherry blossom trees were blowing their petals in the wind.

A handsome black-haired man sat on a branch.

No, it should be a monster.

"Well, you should be the leader of the monster." Takigawa Qingxian put his hands on his sleeves.

Nuliang Liban held the wine glass in his hand, and let out a magnetic chuckle from the corner of his mouth, "Well, you can say so, I am the second generation general of the Nuliang Group, Nuliang Liban."

"Actually, I don't really want to know who you are, I just want to know why I'm here."

"Don't you think it's impolite not to sign up? Kid."

Takigawa Qingxian sighed, why is the monster in the dream so real, "Takigawa Qingxian."

Facing his perfunctory attitude, Nuliang Liban curled his lips noncommittally, "Because of you, the monsters in this area were very disturbed a while ago, so I brought your body back from the mountain."

Takigawa Qingxian remembered that he was in a shrine on a certain mountain before waking up from his dream last time, "So it's my problem? What did I do?"

"Because Takikawa exudes a delicious smell. The monsters who are not enlightened treat you as a great meal. Even I have never encountered such a special smell." With his right eye closed, he grinned and grinned.

Takigawa Qingxian sniffed his hand when he heard the words, but he couldn't smell anything, "?"

Nuliang Liban drank the wine in the cup, jumped down from the tree, slightly curly black hair slightly fluttered, "It's a smell that only monsters can smell."

"So I'm food."

"Not necessarily, Takigawa has been sleeping for the past few days, something has been protecting your body, even those monsters scrambling for food can't hurt a little bit." Nuliang carp partner approached, hanging amber Eyes, "It's really curious, what the hell are you?"

Takigawa Qingxian looked back speechlessly, what am I?Of course I am human, what else could it be?

"The one who smells delicious?"

Nuliang Carphan just smiled, put one hand in his clothes, walked into the house and stopped, looked back at Takigawa Qingxian, "You can leave whenever you want, welcome to my house next time to accompany you I drink."

"I think it's better not to have a next time, after all, I may be the number one choice for appetizers."

"Hahaha, don't worry, I won't eat Takikawa."

Takigawa Qingxian watched the figure of Nura Koban disappear from sight, grabbed a handful of messy white hair, trotted to the wall, jumped lightly with a tap of his toes, twisted his body as softly as a cat, and finally landed lightly .

He stood up from the position of kneeling on the ground, clapped his hands, and didn't care about the strange environment outside, just walked by instinct.

Until dawn, he found Yato sleeping on the money box at the shrine last time.

At this time, Yato didn't wear a black sportswear, he didn't have the sense of poverty of a vagrant, and his hair was a little longer, tied into a knot at the back of his head, but the dark bathrobe on his body was severely damaged, revealing his homeless temperament.

Takigawa Qingxian and Yato got acquainted when they were young, and those monsters came to bully him every now and then. If it was a ghost, he could ask Asakura Ye for help, but he couldn't do anything about the monsters.

Later, I accidentally saw the advertisement of Yato graffiti on the wall, and with the idea of ​​giving it a try, Takigawa Aozuru contacted Yato through the landline at home, and asked him to expel those monsters who bullied him with five yen as a reward.

Yato protected him until he was ten years old.

As he grows older, there are fewer and fewer monsters bullying him, and naturally he no longer needs Yato's protection.

In the end, seeing Yato again was in his intermittent dream.

Takigawa Qingxian stood there silently, pressing his left hand on the handle of the knife, and slowly placing his index finger under the blade, and suddenly flicked it hard, and the knife was unsheathed instantly, reflecting a sharp light.

Yato suddenly felt the strong killing intent, opened his eyes suddenly, turned over and fell to the ground, saw Takikawa Aozuru who restrained the killing intent, and then relaxed his tense body, and heaved a sigh of relief, "Huh—what are you doing, Takikawa , Do you exude sleepiness as soon as you wake up?"

"Yato, didn't I ask you to take care of my body? In the end, I woke up in the monster's base camp. You broke your promise." The white-haired boy closed the knife and looked at him dissatisfied.

"But there were too many monsters at that time, and I don't think they can hurt you." Yato tried to explain, "Then a self-proclaimed general said that the only way to maintain peace in this area is to take you to him to take care of you. I think He's right, it's—"

Takigawa Qingxian didn't mean to blame him, recalling what Nura Kobi said, he touched his chin with his left hand, "I have never done this before, why did I suddenly become a delicacy in the mouth of monsters?"

"Hey, Yato, can you smell something strange about me?"

Yato blinked his light blue eyes, leaned close to him and sniffed, then changed direction and continued to sniff.

Takigawa Qingxian stood still, waiting for his answer.

"Hmm... no, but it seems to have a familiar smell." Yato narrowed his eyes and pondered.

"A familiar smell?"

"It just feels familiar, but I can't remember it."

"Forget it, let's get down to business, pay me back the five yen." Takigawa Qingxian spread his left hand, the corner of his mouth slightly raised.

Yato panicked and jumped away from the magnum he was holding tightly in his arms, "No, no refunds will be provided! These are the ones I have worked so hard to save up, and they will be used to build the shrine in the future!"

"Heh—" But decades later, Yato is still a homeless man who doesn't even have a shrine.

The author has something to say:

Takikawa: What does my liking for books have to do with my poor written homework?

Regarding the fact that the green string smells delicious, it is based on the fact that Hiyori Noragami thinks that Yato smells very good there, and I won’t remind you of the others =v=
