Healing Vest Essence

"Ah, I'm back, Dazai."

Oda Sakunosuke also responded softly, hugging this man with both hands, who is obviously an adult, but no matter how you look at it, the soul inside is still the timid and lonely child Dazai Osamu.

Perhaps for others, this view of Oda Sakunosuke is really surprising.

Osamu Dazai is such a monstrous existence. Among the members of PortMafia who once worked with Osamu Dazai, after seeing the other party's methods, there is no one who does not feel trembling and cold in his heart.

The kite-eyed young man in front of him has changed from a crow-black windbreaker to a warm-toned sand-colored windbreaker; his face, which used to have a little milk fat, looked immature, and often gloomy and cold, has also become angular now. Clear, handsome and delicate, his eyes are often squinted like a cat, showing a frivolous smile on his face.

Even though Osamu Dazai's changes are so great, for those who know him, he is still the same person who was stained with the blood and pain of an unknown number of people. Wherever he goes, there is death and guns/fires, in the dark Demons who wantonly manipulate people's hearts.

He is not someone who is on the bright side, who does justice, and who saves people.

However, Oda Sakunosuke didn't think so.

Before he met Ango Sakaguchi and Osamu Dazai, he had already investigated the current situation in Yokohama.

Unlike Yokohama, which was turbulent four years ago, Yokohama is now much quieter and more peaceful, although during this period, there are also some people with foreign abilities who came to Yokohama for unknown reasons and set off one wave after another.

The three-moment concept has matured.

The Supernatural Secret Service Division where Ango Sakaguchi works belongs to the government, and the government is in charge of "Daylight", but its power is weaker than the other two.

If Osamu Dazai joined the Supernatural Secret Service Division, then his personality and style of dealing with things are naturally incompatible with them. Maybe Osamu Dazai will be closely monitored when he is asked to do this or that and complete various tasks .

But Osamu Dazai joined the armed detective agency belonging to "Twilight", a supernatural organization that can stand against Mafia, the most powerful but also most unstable port among the three forces.

Although the results of their actions are towards the good and bright side, in terms of process and means, the Armed Detective Agency does not reject non-pure and decent practices.

The two most core members of the Armed Detective Agency were once the government's secret executioners. They obeyed orders regardless of good and evil, and were once confused about why they waved the knife in their hands.Later, because of Edogawa Ranpo, Fukuzawa Yukichi, who really saw what he wanted in his heart, and the famous detective Edogawa Ranpo who had stumbled on the road of growth, was stubborn and proud, constantly pursued the truth, and had extraordinary talents.

The Armed Detective Agency founded by the two of them is precisely because the past experience between them is not pure and flawless, and the personnel accepted by the Armed Detective Agency are naturally not completely bright.

For example, the "angel of death" and Akiko Yosano in the supernatural war, or the realistic idealist who pursues his own righteous way, Kunikida Doppo who was thought by Osamu Dazai to have "a flame like a blue flag" on his body.

They neither come from the light nor belong to the dark.

Armed Detective Agency, a supernatural organization that is both good and evil, wandering in the gray border, is just like the "twilight" they control.

After some investigation, Oda Sakunosuke, who had obtained the above information, had to think that it was the most suitable place for Osamu Dazai.

Too bright and Dazai would burn, too dark and he would drown.

Over the past few years, even though Osamu Dazai still failed to fully integrate into the Armed Detective Agency, the members of the Armed Detective Agency all accepted his incompatible side, and did not question or explore. It's not normal, they just stand beside Osamu Dazai and appear as companions.

Sooner or later, no matter how timid and cautious Dazai is, he will open his heart to them a little bit.

That's great, Dazai, you also have a companion.

And just as Oda Sakunosuke expected, Osamu Dazai became a better person.

Dazai is not an evil flower watered and grown by darkness, nor is he a devil who plays with people's hearts. He is just a child who has a thorough understanding of the nature of human beings in the world and is too smart. No one can have a relationship with his thoughts. Resonance, so it is impossible to get close to his heart.

Osamu Dazai's soul floats above the clouds, but his body falls on the ground. No one can touch that proud and inferior, lonely and timid soul, even Oda Sakunosuke couldn't do it at the beginning—because he gave up and approached again. Osamu Dazai was a little bit more, thinking that the distance was the most suitable for them to get along with each other.

However, Oda Sakunosuke couldn't help regretting it.

This feeling has become stronger and stronger since meeting Ango Sakaguchi and Osamu Dazai——

On the surface, Oda Sakunosuke can indeed push all the responsibilities to the port Mafia and the Supernatural Secret Service Section who sacrificed the children and him as pawns, and can blame Mori Ogai and the others.

But, in fact, is Oda Sakunosuke not responsible at all?

This is not the theory that the victim is guilty, but Oda Sakunosuke's inner reflection. How much harm will his departure cause his friends, and is it really worthwhile to die together?

Oda Sakunosuke thought about it for a while, but still admitted.

--not worth it.His life should not be completely destroyed because of scum.

The biggest weakness of Oda Sakunosuke is not the children, but his original ideal.

As thin as paper, vulnerable to a single blow.

The ideal of the spiritual pillar was destroyed along with the burning fireworks. Oda Sakunosuke couldn't accept it, so he chose to let go and decided to die.

Sakaguchi Ango said "I'm sorry" to him, and Oda Sakunosuke also needs to apologize to Dazai Osamu and Sakaguchi Ango.

Sorry for forgetting you and making you so sad.

Thinking of this, Oda Sakunosuke tightened his arms around Dazai Osamu.

The red-haired young man patted the black-haired young man's back, as if comforting the child who had been wandering in a nightmare for a long time and couldn't break free.

Is it a dream?

Osamu Dazai still refuses to believe the fact that Sakunosuke Oda has returned.

In the past years, the hesitation and timidity of youth, the sadness and loneliness of youth, when thinking of Oda Sakunosuke and Sakaguchi Ango, the joy and sorrow hidden in my heart burst out like a series of soda bubbles, Then the bubbles burst open one by one, leaving only the coldness of reality.

The past cannot be traced.

Osamu Dazai raised his eyes. The warm yellow low lamp specially shaped like a kerosene lamp was hanging above the head of his red-haired friend, coating him with a faint golden yellow, as if he had come down from heaven. undead.

His teary eyes were hazy, and he couldn't see the face of Oda Sakunosuke clearly, but those gentle blue eyes followed him all the time, and the embrace he held was so powerful and warm, because being close to the other's chest could easily He could clearly hear Oda Sakunosuke's heartbeat.

One, one, another.

That is the most beautiful melody.

Osamu Dazai heard the gospel from heaven, and Oda Sakunosuke said to him - "I'm back."

The black-haired young man also reached out and hugged Oda Sakunosuke, his soft curly hair rubbed against his chest, like a stray black cat found its home.

Osamu Dazai called out his friend's name: "Oda Saku."

"I'm here." Oda Sakunosuke responded.

"As you said before, I have already done it for the side that asked me to save people. I joined the Armed Detective Agency. In the incidents that happened during this period, I also contributed to preventing the enemy from doing evil. Isn't it great? .”

When Osamu Dazai saw the "big patriarch", he naturally asked for attention and praise, and showed wet eyes to Oda Sakunosuke.

"Well, Dazai has grown up and is doing well. I have always believed that Dazai can do it." Oda Sakunosuke retracted the hand stroking Dazai's back, and rubbed his friend's hair with his right hand to express his encouragement.

"Odasaku Odasaku! Let me tell you, now I also have a partner in the detective agency." After hearing Oda Sakunosuke's encouragement, Dazai Osamu's eyes became brighter and hotter. "His name is Kunikida Doppo, he is a Super easy to deceive honest man, he is even more boring than Ango, he knows what ideal plan to write every day, the kind that comes by the minute!"

"Pfft, did you know that he even has requirements for the ideal female image of his future partner. He listed a total of 58 items. There are many interesting things in Kunikida-kun's handbook. I will steal it for you someday. Look." Osamu Dazai crackled and said a lot of words full of grooves.

"Ah, that's amazing, to be so clear about the image of my future wife, but it's not good to read other people's notebooks, so Dazai should stop doing that." It was still the words from Sakunosuke Oda who wouldn't complain.

Yazawa Haruto, who was eating melons while taking over the role of Sakaguchi Ango’s complaint, began to complain wildly in his heart: Odasaku, the point is not this, Osamu Dazai is spying on other people’s privacy, and he wants to beat the bear boy hard That's right.

Dazai Osamu let out a "humph" and danced and performed: "Kunikida-kun doesn't know what his future partner will look like. He hasn't even held a girl's hand. In the incident of "Apostle of Cang" before, he actually Facing the temptation of that female prisoner, she blushed! "

"It's too embarrassing, Kunikida-kun, an innocent virgin!"

Yazawa Haruto, who was wearing orange cat skin, showed his half-moon eyes: You sounded like you are very experienced, Osamu Dazai, I remember you are also a virgin.

Fifty steps laugh at a hundred steps, it's wonderful.

Oda Sakunosuke showed a somewhat complicated look, misunderstood the point and said: "Dazai, do you...do you have a girlfriend?"

Dazai Osamu was almost frightened by Oda Sakunosuke's words and fell off the chair. He patted the bar in dissatisfaction and said, "How is it possible, Oda Saku, although I am still very charming all these years, I will win a lot of girls with just a tick of my fingers." screaming, but I am firm in myself, guarding my body like a jade, and I haven’t even handed over my chastity.”

Yazawa Haruto: "..." Why do you look so proud, is there any difference between you and Kunikida Doppo? !

Oda Sakunosuke: "... Dazai, it's better not to publicize this."

Osamu Dazai then shared a lot of things with Sakunosuke Oda, including his latest experimental methods of suicide, blowing up Nakahara Chuya’s garage before leaving PortMafia, opening a bunch of his precious wine storage feats, when the combination struck Dazai Osamu and Edogawa Ranpo's strategies and countermeasures, etc.

At the end, Osamu Dazai was already a little incoherent, and he couldn't find anything else to say, but he still didn't want to stop, so he could only anxiously call Oda Sakunosuke's name first.

Oda Sakunosuke sighed, he could see Dazai Osamu's uneasiness and fear.

He gently pulled away Osamu Dazai's hand that was holding his wrist, wrapped it with his own hands, and breathed hot air: "Dazai, your hands are so cold, you better stop drinking."

Osamu Dazai paused, and quietly clenched the hand wrapped by Oda Sakunosuke, his originally clear voice became dry and low: "Oda Sakuno..."

Osamu Dazai yelled his name a few times, and Oda Sakunosuke answered them all patiently.

In the end, the pale and chapped lips uttered the greatest expectation in Dazai Osamu's heart at this moment: "Don't leave, Odasaku."

Sure enough, he is still a child, Dazai...

This time, no matter what, I will not refuse to enter your inner world.

Oda Sakunosuke smiled lightly.

In the old days, the red-haired youth stretched out his hand to grab his black-haired friend who was teetering on the edge of the cliff, and brought him from the dark and humid place that never saw the sun to a dry and warm place.

And now, an anchor point that is difficult to untie has been created between Osamu Dazai and this world.

"Sand-colored windbreaker, very suitable for Dazai." Oda Sakunosuke said, but did not immediately respond to Dazai Osamu's plea, but first looked at the windbreaker jacket that had nothing to do with the topic.

He knew that this sand-colored trench coat was bought by Osamu Dazai after imitating his dressing style and matching.

Osamu Dazai looked at him quietly, without saying a word, but there was a little light in the iris-colored pupils, and because the eyes were slightly widened, they looked round and round, more like a black cat.

When Sakunosuke Oda saw Osamu Dazai, the black windbreaker draped over the ten-year-old boy looked particularly bulky and lenient.

But now, the sand-colored windbreaker fits Dazai Osamu very well, making him tall and straight.

Before he knew it, Osamu Dazai had grown into this appearance.

Oda Sakunosuke said with emotion: "Obviously, it looks like Dazai has grown up, but in his heart, Dazai is still the same as before."

——"Dazai, what I have been here is not a dream."

- "I'm not leaving."

The red-haired youth promised.
