But what did Slime do wrong?

Osamu Dazai has traveled this road many times before.

He could even boast that even with his eyes closed, he was able to take Limuru to their destination without any bumps.

...Let's go, the battlefield where Odasaku and Gide died together.

"You don't seem to be in a hurry at all." Limuru followed him, turned his head, and reflected Dazai's figure in a pair of golden eyes, "Is this all right?"

"It's okay." Osamu Dazai replied calmly, "I've tried it many times...it has nothing to do with my speed, what I carry with me, or even anything else."

"That's [a predestined ending]." Osamu Dazai used such words cautiously, "...So, it doesn't really make any difference whether you go early or late."

Before Rimuru, a special visitor, appeared, Osamu Dazai had gone through countless reincarnations and tried many different methods in this illusion.

But every time he was able to see, it was the same scene.

This is a strange situation that Osamu Dazai has no way to break.

But now, he pinned his hopes on Limulu.

This is an incredible thing for Osamu Dazai, because he is always the kind of strategist who wants to take everything into his own hands, and children who grow up in the dark will never pin their hopes on others body.

He is more used to solving everything by himself, so that everyone and every chess piece are placed in the correct place where they should be.

But now, he had to hand over all the decision-making power to Limulu, and let this mysterious young man solve everything.

...It was an unprecedented and extremely novel experience.

"Ah, that's right." Limuru raised his hand as if he suddenly thought of something, and tugged at the hem of Dazai Osamu who was walking in front of him, "We haven't exchanged names yet, have we? What's your name?" ?”

He pointed to himself with one finger: "I am Limulu, Limulu Tempest."

Dazai was stunned for a moment.

When Rimuru stood in front of him, Osamu Dazai knew that he had never received any information about this boy before.

However, this name, Dazai Osamu is not unheard of.

You see how coincidental this is, what was mentioned in the phone call Ango Sakaguchi made to him earlier... What is the name of the new fifth king, the Green King, who suggested that he go to seek refuge?

Limulu Turnpast.

An elf-like boy named Stormwind.

He began to look at the young man in front of him with a new look, thinking deeply.

"?"

Giving his name, but not being able to get a response for a long time, Rimuru tilted his head, looked at Osamu Dazai in confusion, and a huge question mark almost materialized above his head.

Only then did Osamu Dazai shake his head, realizing that he had been silent for too long.

"My name is Osamu Dazai."

He introduced it like this, and then saw Limulu's face slowly, slowly showing an expression... close to a stomachache-like expression.

Osamu Dazai raised his eyebrows in surprise.

To be honest, there are people who have some kind of reaction after hearing his name—although most of them are resentment and fear, which are not very pleasant emotions—but, like Rimuru This is the first time.

That might be called a blank, and a vague doubt about life.

His expression was so funny that Osamu Dazai even thought of teasing him for no reason; coupled with Rimuru's identity, the original point of caring turned into a lot of attention in the face of the storm.

"Where have you been, have you heard my name?"

The smile on Dazai Osamu's face remained the same, as if he was just asking such a simple casual question, but in fact he was already thinking a lot in his heart.

Because even Osamu Dazai knew that he probably wouldn't have a good reputation outside.

If one knew his name, and the darkness and blood represented under that name, one would feel fear, disgust, resentment...all of these should be normal.

But judging by Limulu's expression, it doesn't seem like that?

Osamu Dazai began to be a little curious, at what point in time and under what kind of background did Rimuru hear his name, that's why he showed this appearance to himself.

But of course Osamu Dazai couldn't guess what Rimuru was shocked about.

[Did I hear wrong? ]

Rather than saying that he was asking the King of Wisdom, it would be more appropriate to say that Limuru was talking to himself.The boy's golden pupils looked a little dull, faintly showing the appearance of a fragmented and reorganized world view.

[Did he just say that he was called Dazai Osamu——]

Rimuru asked hard.

The King of Wisdom can read Limuru's memory and some superficial inner thoughts, so he naturally knows what Limuru is shocked about.

Full of compassion, it answered Limuru's question: [Exactly. ]

[Solution, there is a difference between this world and the "Japan" in the memory of the master, not only in Japan, but looking at the composition of the whole world, some of the "literary masters" in the memory of the master have never written, but have " "Supernatural power" and become a supernatural person who is active in the present world. ]

Rimuru: [Uh, uh? ]

There was a "crackling" sound from his three views, and Limulu felt like a fat-headed fish, who couldn't say anything other than opening his mouth to spit bubbles.

Rimuru: Abba aba aba.

Just a look of dementia.

Even the King of Wisdom can't bear to look at him like this: [Didn't you notice that the name of the chief of the Ability Secret Service Section who came to apologize to you before is called "Tangtian Shanhuotou" ? ]

Limulu: [... I really didn't pay attention to this!Didn't everyone just call him Chief Farmer?What's more, I was not a student of literature before. ]

In fact, he was secretly expressing his weakness, pitifulness and helplessness, even if he didn't know it, he shouldn't be blamed.

After a long time without getting a response from Rimuru, Osamu Dazai slowly narrowed his eyes: "Mr. Rimuru?"

And Limuru came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream, and interrupted the temptation from Osamu Dazai in a somewhat lame way: "Ah... how should I put it, it can be regarded as, uh, I heard that pass?"

After all, it is "that" Dazai Osamu, so don't be too famous for being disqualified.

Have you heard his name?In that case, are you still willing to trust him and follow his arrangements?

Osamu Dazai couldn't help but his heart sank.

Obviously, Osamu Dazai still has some self-knowledge in his heart about what kind of reputation he has in the outside world.

But soon, Osamu Dazai realized something was wrong.

Perhaps the "knowing" that Limulu said and the "knowing" he thought...are two different concepts.

Because right now the young man is looking at him peacefully, without the slightest expression of fear and disgust.

Even if all these can be attributed to being a king, he must have his uniqueness and extraordinary courage, but those can't explain why Limuru still has, will have, in his eyes. Faintly...

Osamu Dazai almost thought that he was dazzled, so he misidentified like this.

So, why did this green king who had never met before hear his name, and when he looked at him, why did his eyes flicker like he saw some superstar?

In the final analysis, the Fifth King who possesses the power to overturn the world is such a seemingly naive child, does it really matter?

Osamu Dazai turned his head, and his iris-colored eyes observed Rimuru with a kind of gaze that was not easy to be noticed, with the meaning of scrutiny and evaluation.

...In any case, Osamu Dazai has no way to connect him with the powerful, forgiving, and compassionate fifth king described by Ango Sakaguchi.

Because no matter how you look at it, you are still just a child, and you may even wonder if he understands the heavy meaning of the sword of Damocles floating above his head.

Osamu Dazai intuited that there must be a big secret behind Rimuru's lack of knowledge of his own name and his own somewhat spectacular past experience.

If this was changed to any other time in the past, Osamu Dazai would obviously be happy to find ways to pry an answer from Limuru; but considering that it is not the most important thing right now, he also put this Set aside first.

They kept silent to each other, and hurriedly walked on the streets of Yokohama; finally, at a certain moment, Osamu Dazai took the lead to stop his footsteps.

"?"

Limulu poked his head out from behind him and asked, "Are we there yet?"

Osamu Dazai didn't respond right away, but just stared at the building in front of him with heavy eyes - at the two people who stood on the open field, fired bullets at each other, and then fell down together.

He heard himself speak, his voice hoarse.

"Yes, we are here."

His eyes stayed on the man with short brown-red hair for a long time, and his tone was inexplicable.

"That's the anchor of this illusion..."

"Oda Sakunosuke."

"And what we need to do is prevent his death."

This is the regret that the person named Osamu Dazai has tried thousands of times but failed to achieve.
