In 2003, mobile phones were not popular yet. Japanese office workers carried pagers with them. When the pager vibrated, they would call the company landline from a nearby phone booth.

Therefore, there are a lot of phone booths in Japan, and phone cards are sold in any nearby convenience store.

On this day, an unfamiliar number was printed on Tsushima Fumichi's mobile phone, and for some reason, the thought "Maybe it's Xiuzhi calling" suddenly appeared in his mind.

When he found out that Ye Zang was missing, every time he received a phone call, he secretly prayed in his heart that it was Ye Zang who was calling, but unfortunately every time his hopes fell through, he had to regain his peace of mind in the end.

He took a deep breath and said, "Hi, this is Tsushima."

"...Brother Wenzhi."

Wenzhi held his breath.

It was Shuji's voice.

He has too many things to say, such as why playing missing, don't you know that someone is worried about you, don't we brothers and sisters have less importance in your heart than friends?

Even if you leave, why don't you tell us, are we so unworthy of your trust?

No, wait, if he said he wanted to go to North Yokohama, he would really not agree, and would rather keep him at home than allow him to run out.

Wenzhi complained in his heart: "After all, which parent would allow the child to go to the war zone independently." '

Rao had all kinds of thoughts in his mind, but only one sentence came out of his mouth in the end.

"Are you okay, Xiu Zhi." He tried his best to stabilize his trembling voice, "Are you injured? Did you eat properly?"

"When are you going to come back?"

"..."

Ye Zang was silent.

"sorry."

He apologized again.

"I'm sorry, Brother Wen Zhi." Ye Zang said, "I have a reason why I can't come back."

"Huh?" Bunji Tsushima fell back angrily, "You little bastard, what reason do you have to make us worry? I can understand that you want to find Edogawa Ranpo, and I will send someone to help you find it. Search Yokohama up and down, how can you be as efficient as the state machine alone, do you look down on adults so much?"

Ye Zang: "..."

In fact, he doesn't believe in the efficiency of adults. In many cases, personal wisdom can surpass countless mediocrity, but this is not the main reason.

Ye Zang said in a low voice: "I saw the report of my father's assassination, how are you and sister Yingzi?"

Wenzhi's brain told the operation that most of what Ye Zang saw was a photo of him and Yingzi wearing a black suit and holding a press conference. The front pages of newspapers and periodicals were swiped by their photos that day. Yes, if there is no such accident, it is not impossible to become the prime minister next time.

At this juncture, Yingzi's dramatic exit and Yingzi's confirmation of her candidacy is really a political drama, enough to attract the attention of most citizens.

Of course, this has something to do with Wenzhi and Yingzi's appearance. As I said before, Ye Zang is the best-looking in the family, but this does not mean that other people can't do it. Wenzhi and Ye Zang resemble each other by seven points, and Yingzi is a woman Too handsome and handsome, but when she puts on a shoulder pad suit and shows a handsomeness that is better than that of men, all girls will scream for her.

Takarazuka's male role is the dream of so many women. Eiko, who is born in the Chinese ethnic group, is tall and handsome, just like the heroine in an opera in front of everyone.

Her approval ratings are at an all-time high.

In addition, running for the election at the moment of his father's death also has the drama of the prince's revenge. It is estimated that many people hope that they will catch the culprit.

Wenzhi said: "It must be better than you."

These words were said coldly, but Ye Zang heaved a sigh of relief: "It's as long as you are fine."

Ye Zang said: "I know, Brother Wen Zhi must be entrusting the police to find the address of the phone booth, right? In order not to be taken home by you, I have to leave."

The more cowardly his tone was, the more angry Wen Zhi was. If you are really scared, you will be taken home obediently!Say what now.

"I want to tell you that I am doing well and I am not injured. I will call you from time to time to report to prove that I am still alive."

"Hey! Hey!" Wen Zhi was anxious when he heard this, "You are not allowed to hang up the phone, did you hear me, Xiu Zhi?"

"Goodbye, Brother Wenzhi."

Aye said, "Give my regards to Sister Yingzi and Sister Aizi."

……

When I came back to my senses, summer was over, and autumn in Yokohama was very short. In a blink of an eye, the calendar turned to December, and the most difficult winter for the residents of Leibo Street came.

There are many difficulties. The food is okay. Thanks to Zhongya Zhongya, they have never lost in the land struggle. Before the winter, they have stored a lot of canned food and compressed biscuits. Of course, it is hard to say whether it is expired food or not. Well, they don't care if it expires for a month or two anyway.

In addition, they hoarded a large amount of chocolates. Among the children on Leibo Street, chocolates were the real common currency. Chocolates could be exchanged for pencils, notebooks, even clothes, and sharpened knives.

"How should I put it?" When explaining the "exchange rate" to Ye Zang, Zhongyuan Zhong was also embarrassed, and he didn't know why he was awkward.

"We are still at the stage of bartering. To the children of Leibo Street, warm clothes are not the most important thing. Anyway, winter only comes once a year. In comparison, food is the big problem." Zhong also curled his lips. Said, "Don't look at us eating well. If you change to a small organization, many children can't afford to eat."

Chocolate does not have a strong sense of satiety, but it is easy to store, high in calories, and sweet. It is the first choice for satisfying hunger.

Ye Zang nodded obediently and said, "I understand."

After he finished speaking, he got up, turned on the washing machine, and put the clean clothes into the basket.

A few days ago, Ye Zang found a semi-old washing machine in the scavenging area. He and Zhong also said that the washing machine should still be usable. After hearing this, Zhong Ye helped Ye Zang move it back without hesitation.

I don't know how Ye Zang fiddled with it, but he repaired the washing machine easily.

In the past six months, the sheep base has changed a lot. First of all, the building is finally connected to electricity. A Ye is really a DIY expert. scurrying around, not as well-behaved as he appeared), and the electricity was still on, and I don’t know how he did it, and the whole building was also powered on a few days later.

In addition, Ye Zang also moved a solar generator as a backup power source. The city of Yokohama has nothing else to do. The sun is still very good. On a clear day, there are only fluffy clouds in the blue sky.

There is enough electricity accumulated in the solar generator to light up small lanterns and turn on several electric heaters in winter.

Even Shirase, who doesn't like Ye Zang, has to admit after watching him repair electrical appliances: "This guy still has a pretty good brain."

You Xing said from the side: "You are really not honest, obviously he cooks delicious food."

Zhong also echoed in his heart: Ah Ye is also good at cooking and has a good mind.

He is good in everything.

After a few months of acquaintance, Chuya couldn't bear it anymore, and he said to Ye Zang, "You don't like people calling you by that name, do you?"

"Huh?" Ye Zang showed his usual shy expression again, "like a woman" in Shirase's words.

The first time I heard the boys in Yangzhong talking about Ye Zang together, Zhong Yuanzhong also snapped: "Hey, don't speak ill of your companions!"

Xiangta curled his lips and said, "What kind of companion is he?"

"For Dazai, I will be your little follower every day." Shota said provocatively, "That guy, even if he gets stuck in a crowd of women, he won't be with us."

Someone raised a different opinion: "No, Shota, you want to play with Miss Minako and the others, but no one is willing to take you," the person said, "Are you jealous?"

Xiangta said as if he was poked in the middle: "Worry!"

Shirase said, "I agree with that."

"That guy doesn't look like a man at all." Shirase rolled up his sleeves, showing off his nonexistent muscles, "Of course a man knows how to fight, not to mention fighting, he'll cry in fright when he sees other people fighting."

"Girls are more courageous than him."

Nakahara was also silent, he didn't think Ye Zang would be scared to cry, but he also had a deep understanding of his weakness, in a sense, he couldn't even refute Shirase's argument that Ye Zang looked like a woman.

'He is very meticulous and knows how to live...'

In a trance, Nakahara Chuya's thoughts returned to the morning.

Ye Zang was going to make breakfast, and he was always the first one to get up. After getting up, he would take off his pajamas and put on a white shirt.

Before staying with Ye Zang, Zhong also didn't realize that he had to take off his coat when going to bed. They used to sleep with their clothes together a lot, even if they lived in a building and had their own bed. You won't care about the bacteria and dust on your clothes.

But Ye Zang was concerned, he would not only change his pajamas, but also fold all the clean clothes neatly, and from time to time take advantage of the sunshine to dry the quilt until it was fluffy.His body is always clean, and his collar exudes the fragrance of soap locust. Once Zhongyuan woke up in the morning and saw his fair skin wrapped in cloth and protruding butterfly bones.

【Osamu Dazai who was watching the screen: "!!!"

Damn, I have a lemon! 】

Zhong also didn't know what was going on with him, anyway, at that moment, he looked away in a panic and buried his head in the soft patchwork pillow.

It is said to be a patchwork, but it is actually a pillowcase sewn from rags. Every child in the sheep has it. Aye, for some reason, has a particularly good sense of color. In the hands of others, the cloth is a mess of rags, but He has the power to turn decay into magic, and he can spell out all kinds of lovely shapes and harmonious colors.

The girls got their own pillowcases, "Wow, wow, wow!" They all praised Ye Zang's skillful hands, and even some girls who loved beauty tugged at the hem of his clothes and said they wanted to learn from him.

What did Aye say again? With the usual soft smile on his face, he said to the girls: "I just learned painting, and I'm still sensitive to colors..."

And said that if the girls wanted to learn, he could teach them to draw with crayons.

Zhong also remembers that the girls dug out crayons, colored pencils, and even sets of brushes and gouache from the ruins.

Sure enough, when they heard that Ye Zang could draw, the girls were very excited, and they took out all the painting supplies they collected, as well as the big white paper, and asked Ye Zang to teach them how to draw.

As for Aye, his eyes lit up when he saw the painting tools.

Zhong also thought: He really loves painting.

It was morning, and the sunlight shone on the plaster floor of the base through the glass windows with missing corners.

A Ye held the drawing board with one hand, it was a DIY wooden drawing board, at most it could support the limp paper, the barbs on the drawing board were not cleaned.

But Ye Zang was very moved. At that time, he was really moved, to the point of crying.

I don't remember what he drew, but I only know that it is an exquisite painting.

Ye Zang, who sits quietly and draws, can almost be described as "beautiful".

"What do you want me to call you?"

Zhong Yuanzhong also asked Ye Zang very patiently.

"Whether it's your real name or a pseudonym, you don't need to worry about it, as long as it's a name you recognize, that's enough."

"I will call you by the name you decide." Nakahara Nakaya said seriously, and Ye Zang looked into his eyes almost a little scared.

Nakahara Chuya's eyes are very beautiful. To describe it in poetic language, his eyes are full of ocean.

'Really, Mr. Zhongyuan is one of the most benevolent people I have ever seen in my life. He also has powerful supernatural powers. He may be a great writer in the future. If you ask me like this, I can't refuse. '

Ye Zang complained softly in his heart, and finally choked out a few words: "Just call me Ye Zang."

"Daba Yezo."

"Daba Yezang." Zhongyuan Zhong also said silently several times. He didn't know if this was the other party's original name or his real name, and he didn't care about it. As long as he knew that calling Ye Zang as Aye would make him happy ,that's enough.

"I want to call you Aye." He asked in a deliberative manner, "Can I?"

'This is not a discussion at all, is it? 'A Ye whispered again in his heart,'You have said that, how can I refuse? '

He just showed a soft smile like a mare and said, "Of course."

……

【"Huh?" Osamu Dazai made an unpleasant sound, the "ha" was almost squeezed out of his nose.

He thought sourly: How could he have imagined that the dark dwarf could talk so much? He thought he would be at a loss when facing Aye, but when facing a dodder-like person, he showed a moderate strength, and it turned out to be a dwarf instinct?

Damn it, is it no wonder that he and Ah Ye have evolved into that kind of behavior pattern, and have been protectors and canaries from the beginning?

Still the canary, the apple of the eye who dare not resist at all.

The more he thought about it, the more unhappy he became, and the more he complained.

"You, Mr. Zhongye." He said to the top cadres around him, "You are really cunning."

Central Plains Chuya:? ? ?

what's wrong with me?

"Huh?" With blue veins popping out of his forehead, he forcibly suppressed his temper, looked at Osamu Dazai and said, "What are you talking about?"

Osamu Dazai ignored him at all, and was still immersed in the imaginary world: "Oops, it's too bad, you are completely different from Xiaozhong. The similarity is also very high, right?"

Nakahara Chu is also his planned next leader. Dazai intends to cultivate his ability to deal with diplomacy and internal affairs. In addition, Chuya has been guarding him every step of the way for so many years. Except that his personality is a bit irritable and calm without Dazhong, he is almost exactly the same.

He could imagine that Aye also gave Zhong Zhong a timid and trusting look.

"Chuya-kun." He resumed the calm and elegant voice that belonged to the leader. Sometimes such a Dazai would remind Nakahara Chuya of the former leader Mori Ogai.

"Please order."

"Next, maybe three or four days later." Dazai said, "I will bring someone back."

Zhong Ye: "..."

He first confessed his dirty thoughts for a second. To be honest, after hearing Dazai's words, his first reaction was that the other party was going to kidnap the object he couldn't ask for.

Not so much.

Certainly not.

An inscrutable smile hangs on the corner of Dazai's mouth: "When the time comes, you must protect him like you protect me, but remember."

"Don't have too much contact with him, and don't develop excess sympathy."

Zhong Yuanzhong also saluted paralyzed: "Yes."

He thought: Ah, I really want to kidnap my crush.

Whoever it is, it's pathetic. 】

……

What happened in the past six months is too much to say, and too little to say.

First of all, Eiko won the seat of parliamentarians as she wished, and became a political star respected by women of all ages in Japan. Not to mention Wenji Tsushima, she entered and exited the cabinet at a young age and became the secretary of this prime minister.

If the ruling party can maintain its strength, with his resume, he may become the youngest prime minister in history. Of course, it will be 15 or 20 years at the earliest.

Aiko's life was as stable as ever. Ever since she found out that Ye Zang was still alive, she had calmed down a lot. At most, she led people to clean Edogawa Ranpo's house in the suburbs of Tokyo every now and then.

Ye Zang, as promised before, would call home from time to time.

When he really wanted to escape, he was really slippery, like a mackerel in a river. Even though Wenzhi laid a net all over the world, he still couldn't touch the hem of his clothes.

Yingzi looked at the distraught Wenzhi and sneered, "Isn't this a good thing? You can't catch Xiuzhi, but others can?" She said, "This just proves that Xiuzhi has the ability to survive in Yokohama. Maybe his talent is here, we restrained him in the past."

Wenzhi became even more irritable. He said, "What kind of talent? A talent for running away? A talent for being slick? Or a talent for wandering around the slums?" , wouldn’t it be nice to go home and become a famous artist all over the world?”

After all, what parent doesn’t want their kids to be safe at home?

Yingzi's personality is more stern than Wenzhi's: "If he wanted to, he wouldn't go to Yokohama and never return."

Wenzhi: "..."

"I didn't find Edogawa Ranpo. If it wasn't sunk in the sea, it would be alive like a fish in water."

Yingzi said: "It's enough for us to be a good backing for Xiuzhi, and provide him with support when he needs us. Isn't that what the so-called parents play?"

Wenzhi nodded with difficulty: "That's the only way."

……

When winter came, Ye Zang had already figured out the whole area.

He was dressed fairly warmly, although the old clothes were thick enough, from a distance, he looked like a shambling brown bear.

He exhaled, and a small white mist condensed in the air.

He made it clear that it was not the area where the sheep were active, but the entire North Yokohama, the distribution of the Chamber of Commerce, the ownership of the Mafia Wharf, the number of people with supernatural powers, the number of residents in Leibo Street, the intricate sewers, etc... everything He figured everything out.

Ye Zang can even say that no one knows Kita Yokohama better than him, and he can indeed say this when he uses Dazai Osamu's wisdom to the extreme.

It's a pity that after all his hard work, Edogawa Ranpo still couldn't find him, and Ye Zang had no idea about joining the Mafia.

To be honest, rather than saying that he has no clue, it might be better to say that he is still running away.

Mingming told himself in his heart that if he didn't join the Mafia, he would be sorry for the owner of the body and Osamu Dazai, but his behavior was like an ostrich, and he could drag it out for a day.

'Let's talk tomorrow, tomorrow. '

He thought so.

Before spring came, there was a small change in Leibo Street. A small clinic opened quietly on the street far from the sheep organization.

The waitress in the tavern told him this news. If there is any change this year, it is that Ye Zang has learned to drink. Of course it is not a good wine, but a dirty wine that the bottom mafia can afford.

He began to grow taller, slender like a willow in the wind, and the waitresses began to notice him.

The bar girls and waitresses are nothing more than fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls. The children here are generally precocious and start working very early.

The waitress is rare for Aye, and will buy him a drink and tell him some information.

"It seems to be... Mori Ogai?" Changzi frowned and recalled, "It's a rare name, right? Really, why can't he think about coming to us to open a clinic?"

The bartender interrupted: "Maybe it's a quack doctor without a license to practice medicine. Who would come to see us if a serious doctor comes here?"

When Ye Zang heard the name, his ears perked up.

"Mori Ogai?" His eyes widened.

Is that Mori Ogai?

His knowledge of Mori Ogai in this world is obtained from Akiko Yosano. He knows that he graduated from the Department of Medicine of the University of Tokyo and was a great child prodigy in all directions when he was young. Memories overlap.

In the world of Oba Hazo, Mori Ogai is not only a quack doctor, but also a representative figure of romantic literature. He is also known as Japan's three major literary giants along with Akutagawa Ryunosuke and Natsume Soseki.

There are so many halos on Mori Ogai's head, and Ye Zang has never heard of Natsume-sensei and his most admired Akutagawa-sensei, so he naturally has a lot of admiration for Mori Ogai Affection.

Back then, he was able to date Yosano Akiko without running away, and he also had the filter of "the other party is that Yosano Akiko, an outstanding female poet"!

Ye Zang was rarely excited.

He wants to visit Mr. Sen.

Even if it's just a glimpse from a distance!

【"..."

Osamu Dazai felt very embarrassed. 】
