Are you with Dazai today?

After Shiinagawa was pulled ashore by Osamu Dazai, he kept following the opponent's strength.

Something is wrong, something is really wrong!

He stared at the tightly held hands between the two of them. If it was normal, Osamu Dazai would not do this at all, and would usually say something like "If you want to hold hands, you should really find a beautiful young lady".

The chance of this kind of thing happening now is comparable to the chance of Ango Sakaguchi sleeping until he wakes up naturally.

"Today... the weather is really nice today..."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he wanted to hit himself. What a bad opening!

However, Osamu Dazai accepted his words without changing his face.

"Yes, but no matter how good the weather is, you can't stay in the water all the time."

"Yes... yes... you are right."

Now Shiinagawa has become a unemotional echo machine, Osamu Dazai can do what he says, because too many things happened in one day, so now Shiinagawa's brain is in a state of overload.

"Oh! It seems that I have arrived at the cafe where Shiina fainted, so please pay attention to your body."

What are you trying to do by saying this all of a sudden, Dazai? !

Osamu Dazai still had a smiling expression on his face, but Shiinagawa couldn't understand what the other party wanted to do now. At this time, even his most trusted intuition couldn't give him any good hints.

"Yes……"

Although it was not because of fatigue but because of Miss Tina that she fainted, but how should I put it, Shiinagawa still felt guilty.

Because no matter how you look at it, he believed too much in his own strength, and in the end he was led by the nose.

"Is Shiina hungry?"

"……Eh?"

"Hey what, I only ate something in the coffee shop since morning. Is there any health problem?"

Shiinagawa, who didn't understand Osamu Dazai's intentions, had no choice but to answer honestly.

"No, I don't think I have..."

Suddenly, Shiinagawa's intuition told him that he might be in danger if he said that, so Shiinagawa swallowed what he really wanted to say.

"I'm a little hungry."

In the end, such an answer was given, how is it, is it the correct answer, or is it wrong?At least Shiinagawa couldn't see it with Dazai Osamu's expression.

Osamu Dazai stared at Shiinagawa for a few seconds and then turned his head away.

"Really, let's go to the restaurant for dinner after a long absence today. Anyway, Shiina didn't buy ingredients."

After hearing the word 'ingredients', Shiinagawa shuddered. Sure enough, he was still angry, right? !

"What would Shiina want to eat?"

"Just do it according to Dazai's preference, I can do it."

Shiinagawa was still a little taken aback after the dishes were served, he thought Dazai Osamu would take him to a seafood restaurant or something after saying that.

The soft white rice porridge in front of me is sprinkled with finely chopped scallions, and the other bowl of steamed egg custard is just put a small amount of sesame oil and soy sauce, less oily and not spicy, all of which are very light food.

And rather than coming to eat together, it would be better to say that he was the only one eating. There was only a glass of lemonade in front of Osamu Dazai, probably because he saw Shiinagawa's doubts, Osamu Dazai said this to him.

"Hmm... I've had enough of my words, Shiina don't mind me."

However, although.

Dazai, can you stop staring at me while I eat.

During Shiinagawa's meal, Osamu Dazai kept staring at him, as if he had seen something interesting, which made Shiinagawa eat like chewing wax.

Even though it's already tasteless.

"Have you eaten yet?"

Osamu Dazai asked this when Shiinagawa put down his spoon after eating the last bite.

"Well, thank you for your hospitality."

Shiinagawa picked up the napkin that the waiter brought over at the beginning, and carefully wiped off the oil stains on the corners of his mouth

Although it was only a little bit, Shiinagawa did feel a little more comfortable after getting the food. As for the reason for the food or the psychological reason, there is no way to know.

"By the way, the ingredients for dinner are still..."

If I remember correctly, there is nothing in the refrigerator at home, so I still have to go to the supermarket.

"I've already bought the ingredients."

"……Eh?"

Osamu Dazai puffed up his cheeks as if dissatisfied with Shiinagawa's reaction.

"Hey what, I'm so sorry!"

Just in case, Shiinagawa felt that he still needed to confirm.

"egg."

"Bought it."

"milk."

"I bought that too, although I don't like drinking it at all."

"Canned crab meat."

"Shiina, what are you thinking, you will definitely buy canned crab meat!"

After asking about several items in a row, Osamu Dazai has already bought them. From the looks of it, there seems to be no problem?

After all, today’s Dazai Osamu is too weird, completely different from before, if it is not confirmed that the person in front of him is indeed Dazai Osamu, Shiinagawa would want to grab the other party’s collar and ask him where he hid his child .

Shiinagawa tilted his head in distress, as if there was really nothing to do now.

"go home?"

Osamu Dazai showed a childish smile as if he finally heard the answer he wanted. Now Osamu Dazai is like a child who finally got his beloved thing.

Different from the previous smile that made Shiinagawa feel instinctively bad, this expression gave Shiinagawa a different feeling, but not in a good direction.

The premonition of danger was at its fullest, and the intuition he had been relying on was telling him 'now is very bad, let's run away quickly. '

But if the target is Dazai, then there is no problem.

"Well, let's go home!"

Saying that, Osamu Dazai showed a smile that shone brighter than ever.

Dazai looked happy, which was great.

"I always feel that Shiina is thinking about something strange, and her expression becomes disgusting."

"Eh?! Disgusting..."

Shiinagawa was shocked by Osamu Dazai's sudden words, he subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch his face.

Obviously not bad at all.

"Just kidding."

Same as when he came, Osamu Dazai held Shiinagawa's hand very naturally, as if it was normal for him to make this action, but in fact, Osamu Dazai usually behaved a little differently about holding hands with himself willing.

Obviously, when I was young, I would still be very happy if I walked hand in hand, but the older I grow up, the less I will behave like this.

Maybe this is the mentality of the father whose daughter was hated when he was a teenager, even though Dazai is not his daughter, he is not his father either.

"Have you felt a little better?"

"Huh? What Shiina is talking about, I haven't been angry since the beginning."

Liar, obviously angry, Shiinagawa said silently in his heart.

But he didn't really say this. Shiinagawa, who has been with him for so long, also knows a little bit about the world. Occasionally, he still understands what can be said and what cannot be said.

But in fact, it depends on whether Shiinagawa himself can intervene. In real life, this person still has a lot of questions.

"Speaking of Shiina, have you ever heard of the name Tina?"

Osamu Dazai spoke casually as if he was asking if he wanted to have a meal just now, but his words made Shiinagawa froze inexplicably.

It’s not that he didn’t think about this possibility. Osamu Dazai’s supernatural ability [Disqualification in the World] itself is a very broken supernatural ability, an anti-supernatural ability that can nullify all supernatural abilities, and it doesn’t seem to be limited to supernatural abilities. aspect.

Although he didn't know the principle, Shiinagawa clearly realized that the world he saw was not caused by supernatural powers.

Not only that, but the strange ghosts he had seen also hated getting close to Osamu Dazai, so after Shiinagawa knew that Tina had disappeared, he thought of the possibility that Osamu Dazai might still remember.

However, it is often not the more you know, the better. Although it is rude to say so, ignorance also represents a kind of security.

Shiinagawa is a person who hates lying, and is not good at lying. He has been told more than once that his level of lying is too bad, and he can see through it at a glance.

Dazai, don't make a big move all at once!

what to do?what to do?How about telling the whole situation like this, no, no, in case Dazai becomes interested in this kind of thing, in case he wants to investigate further.

Obviously something that cannot be touched.

So Shiinagawa worked hard for just one lie, the expression on the face should not be so tense, the eyes should not move to other places, and the small movements of the hands should not reveal the mood, and the breathing rate and heart rate are the same as usual.

"A name I've never heard of before, is that Dazai's new subordinate?"

Then Shiinagawa spoke as if he was worried that Osamu Dazai would do something bad.

"Even a very beautiful woman can't casually drag each other to die in love."

Osamu Dazai stared at Shiinagawa for a few seconds and then looked away.

"Hmm—Shiina is really too much, am I the kind of frivolous person who will drag others to die for love?"

Shiinagawa recalled Osamu Dazai's various achievements in the past, and found that even he could not answer negatively without conscience, so he chose to keep silent.

Osamu Dazai didn't make it too difficult for the other party, he gently brought up this topic.

"Oh, it's almost here. Sure enough, chatting will blur the feeling of time."

What is reflected in the eyes are all familiar scenes, the slightly damaged stone path, the tree that has grown too well and is incompatible with the surrounding green plants, and... and the hut that has been lived in for several years.

Dazai has really grown a lot taller and grown a lot.

Thinking of this, Shiinagawa's expression softened unconsciously. In this case, even if he is gone, there must be no problem, because there are Mr. Sakunosuke and Mr. Ango by Dazai's side. Both of them are reliable and respectable people. .

So they must be able to reach out to help Dazai when he feels confused about himself, and Dazai is a very, very smart kid. Although he may be a bit horny, he will definitely be able to find a path that suits him.

So that's great.

The door slowly closed behind Shiinagawa.

The author has something to say: Shiinagawa is a stable group on the surface, but screaming madly in his heart

But is Dazai really that easy to fool? (laughs)
