Chapter 36 Drama

[The dusk was like diluted blood pouring down into the sky. Kanda Ryosuke saw a blood-red patch in front of his eyes. He blinked and realized that it was the blood from the cut on his forehead that flowed into his eyes.

He is now leaning against a pile of ruins, without medicine or clean bandages. All he can do is wait quietly for death.

Logically he should be very scared now, but when he saw the rose-colored skirt in the ruins out of the corner of his eye, he actually thought of the strawberry cake he had seen in the window before, and he seemed to smell a faint sweet cream scent at the tip of his nose.

When he heard the sound of stumbling footsteps, Kanda Ryosuke thought it was a new hallucination, until a trembling hand was placed on the tip of his nose and he seemed to feel his breath, he temporarily put his mind at ease.

Ryosuke Kanda opened his dry eyes, only to find that he had closed his eyes without knowing when.

A pale but gentle smile caught his sight. It was Shiraki Ryu.

"I found the medicine, Ryosuke."

My heart seems to have the strength to beat again. 】

[Kanda Ryosuke's throat was so sore that he couldn't speak, so he let Shiraki Ryu apply medicine to him.

My hands are shaking a little.

Kanda Ryosuke thought vaguely.

Bai Muliu kept muttering while applying medicine to him.

"Ryosuke, hold on a little longer."

"Don't be afraid, everything will be fine. I heard that the government will send someone soon..."

After applying medicine and bandaging, Shiraki Ryu tried to drag Kanda Ryosuke to a safer hidden corner. 】

“This one is fine.”

"Okay, let's take a break!"

Hirano sat up from the ground with a swish, and the dust on his hair fell all over his face, causing him to sneeze.

"Slow down." Sawada Tsunayoshi pulled him up with amusement.

Hirano said shyly: "Thank you, Sawada-senpai, it's too much trouble for you."

"That's nothing. We performed well in this scene. Let's do better in the next one."

"yes!"

This scene was shot eight times, mainly because we couldn't capture the protagonist's subtle emotional changes.

When the director said it was okay to pass, Hirano breathed a sigh of relief, finally he didn't have to hold back.

The protagonist has been emotionally indifferent since childhood and doesn't care much about life and death, but his IQ is very high. If he is not guided by someone, in the terrible environment in the script, he will most likely go down the path of breaking the law and committing crimes, and it will not be the turn of the villain in the script to do evil.

"Well, 'I'm going to die in the next scene." Sawada Tsunayoshi was asked by the makeup artist to touch up his makeup while glancing at the script out of the corner of his eye.

It was because of Shiraki Ryu's death and last words that the protagonist was able to embark on a bright path. However, it was not until the final stage of the script that he broke away from his imitation of Shiraki Ryu for so many years and understood why Shiraki Ryu did what he did.

"What a fashionable character." Sawada Tsunayoshi said with emotion, "It is really difficult to act. It is amazing that Hirano-kun can act it out."

Dazai Osamu's character and the protagonist are the control group, the difference is that they encounter no guide and those who encounter a guide.

Dazai Osamu: "I can earn some tears when I die, it's worth it."

"It's suitable for bringing up memories from time to time." Tsunayoshi Sawada joked.

"You have seen through the director's intention."

[Shiraki Ryu is not a particularly courageous person, but he is an exceptionally stubborn goody-goody. Even though he is afraid in his heart, when he sees others shrinking back, he rushes out as if he is disappointed in them. Therefore, he has always shown the image of a protector in the team, taking care of everyone gently.

So when he was injured but didn't use medicine instead, Ryosuke Kanda was not surprised at all.

He kept trying to be strong, but in the end he couldn't hold on any longer and whispered in a trembling voice, "Ryosuke, I'm a little scared."

Shiraki Ryu's head rested on his shoulder, and her breathing became weaker and weaker, reminding Ryosuke Kanda of the time when he was five years old and playing marbles in the attic. Those beautiful, crystal clear beads fell to the ground, and at first they were still very lively, then the amplitude of the bounce became smaller and smaller, and the sound became smaller and smaller, and finally rolled to a corner where no one could find them.

Although he took the medicine, Ryosuke Kanda's condition is not optimistic. He feels that the two of them may die together.

"Don't be afraid..."

This was the last sentence that Shiraki Ryu said.

Kanda Ryosuke wants to say that he is not afraid, but he is afraid of you. 】

[The disaster will last for thousands of years - this is what Ryosuke Kanda thought.

Shiraki Ryu still died, but Kanda Ryosuke was still alive and survived after the government rescue arrived.

When he was carried onto the stretcher, he was still holding Bai Muliu's hand. The coolness of his palm seeped into his blood, exactly the same feeling as when he held his mother's hand before.

The rescuers gently but forcefully pried open his fingers.

He is going to the hospital, and Shiraki Ryu is going to the incinerator. 】

"Congratulations on wrapping up!"

“Thank you for your hard work!”

Sawada Tsunayoshi bowed to the staff around him and said, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone."

The director personally presented a small gift and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, Sawada-kun. I bought a lot of delicious food, and we will eat together later."

"Thank you, Director Yamada."

After Sawada Tsunayoshi finished his scene, he did not leave the set, but stayed aside to watch Dazai Osamu's scene.

Dazai Osamu's character is called Shiina Wataru, a genius of a different type from the protagonist. If Kanda Ryosuke does not understand human nature, then Shiina Wataru understands it too well. He knows the hearts of ordinary people very well, and a simple word or two can break through their psychological defenses and push them to death.

This character also has a tragic experience, probably because he was abused by his gambling father in his childhood, and his mother dragged him to commit suicide. It is foreseeable that there will be a wave of sympathetic audiences after the release of the film.

Shiina Wataru is a well-behaved and silent academic master in his daily life. Even the protagonist was briefly deceived by him, thinking that he would reform himself. Unexpectedly, he was so good at acting that he could trick a group of people. In the end, the ending is open and he jumped into the sea. It is not clear whether he is alive or dead.

In the early stages, even the audience probably thought that this character was innocent. First, age was deceptive, and second, appearance was deceptive. Shiina Wataru was good at putting himself in the position of the victim.

The reveal of the villain’s identity is a high point of the show.

"Is this drama alluding to Yokohama Leibo Street? Aren't you afraid of being harassed?"

"What are you afraid of? The current mayor of Yokohama is my second brother." Dazai Osamu raised his eyebrows.

He didn't often mention his family, so Sawada Tsunayoshi really didn't know about this.

"When did you take up the position?"

"Not long ago, last year."

Sawada Tsunayoshi seemed to have some idea: "Does your second brother have any ideas about Leibo Street?"

Otherwise, even if they are family members, the second brother of the Tsushima family will not allow this drama to damage the image of Yokohama City, which is related to political achievements.

As a gray area out of government control, Leibo Street has long been left alone, resulting in a vacuum of law and order, and even the breeding of many violent groups. Even if it is deliberately ignored, the existence of Leibo Street is the biggest irony to the ruling party.

At the same time, because it has been out of control for too long and there are various chaotic forces involved, in order to govern this place again, not only manpower but also a lot of money is needed.

The Yokohama government obviously cannot afford it and does not want to pay.

Everything has been fine for so many years, so why bother?

What they are best at is being a coward.

The second brother of the Tsushima family, Eiji Tsushima, is the mayor who has just taken office. Does he have the courage to do this?

"He wants to use Leibo Street as a show." Dazai Osamu yawned boredly.

Sawada Tsunayoshi couldn't help but frowned: "Distributing supplies?"

This is the simplest way to show off.

Dazai Osamu shrugged.

It is not easy to make mistakes and it can also promote kindness.

I have the will but not the ability to do so. I want to express my shame and helplessness and bow to apologize.

He has tried his best and expressed his opinion. How can you blame him?

How could this not move the people?

The people in Leibo Street were probably also very happy, after all, they got something for free.

One party takes action, and many parties are satisfied. There is no better deal than this.

Sawada Tsunayoshi sighed with a hint of sarcasm: "What a great politician."

Dazai Osamu sneered: "Political creatures are no different. The fact that he can come up with a show may make him much better than his predecessors in the eyes of others. At least he doesn't mind the trouble."

"He wants to drag me along." Dazai Osamu couldn't help rolling his eyes. "I don't want to pretend to be close to him and say hypocritical and disgusting things to the media."

Since he was able to live outside on his own, Dazai Osamu would not go back unless it was necessary. He had seen enough of his family's formulaic smiles since he was a child, and their thoughts and actions were all about profit.

He doesn't think there's anything wrong with seeking profit, but that doesn't stop him from feeling tired and annoyed with it.

Sawada Tsunayoshi smiled and said, "He probably doesn't understand why you don't go. After all, it's a good opportunity to earn fame."

"Yes, so he acted like a good brother and looked at me like a child making trouble. Did he think I didn't remember the time he scolded me when we were little? Humph."

After saying this, Dazai Osamu's eyes rolled around.

Sawada Tsunayoshi knew at a glance that he had bad intentions.

He asked curiously, "What do you want to do?"

Dazai Osamu chuckled: "I won't ruin this show, just make him feel sick for a while."

"Be careful not to get hurt."

"Don't worry, I'm good at psychological warfare."

Why would real charity need a camera? All it takes is to transform good deeds into charity. Changing the words will change the meaning completely.

It doesn't have much of an impact, it just sounds more isolated.

"Has he annoyed you recently?" Sawada Tsunayoshi remembered that although Dazai Osamu disliked the political creatures at home, he usually ignored them. If he was disgusted by being treated as an ignorant child, it wouldn't be the case. After all, this was not the first time. Dazai Osamu was used to being impatient.

Therefore, Tsushima Eiji must have done something recently that made Dazai Osamu unable to ignore it anymore.

Dazai Osamu's eyes wandered for a moment, but he did not hide it: "Nothing."

"When I first joined the crew, some fans came to visit us. Because they stayed for a long time, it was a bit late when we got back to the hotel. It was not far away, so I asked my assistant to take them back. As a result, we were robbed by the mafia on the way."

Sawada Tsunayoshi's eyelids jumped, "Mafia? Robbery?"

"In fact, he is just a low-level henchman who uses the name of the port mafia. I don't know when he targeted those girls. He knew they were all from other places and thought they were easy to bully."

"Then I was beaten up by the assistant. Later, when I went to the police station, those idiots didn't dare to deal with the matter."

It turns out that he was venting his anger on others.

Sawada Tsunayoshi understood and agreed with him decisively: "Mayor Tsushima Eiji is totally derelict in his duty!"

"That's right, he's such a loser that he was led by the mafia." Dazai Osamu puffed his cheeks, angry.

"Besides, he also cooperates with the Mafia."
