"Pfft—" After a second of silence, Dazai Osamu suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so hard that he fell to the floor, almost unable to breathe.
He raised his hand and poked Fyodor's hat: "Although it's not good for a girl like Ruoyi to know the real meaning of that word, I really didn't expect you to teach her like this."
“‘Your mother’s belly button is protruding’—” he mimicked Ruoyi’s tone of voice.
It wasn't until this moment that Kawakami Wakana realized something was wrong.
Isn't that what you mean?
"Of course not!" Dazai Osamu seemed very interested in telling Wakana the true meaning of the word. "Wakana-chan, it means—"
"Ahem." The conversation was immediately interrupted by a fit of coughing from Fyodor.
"Fei, Fei Jia?" Kawakami Wakai quickly patted Fyodor's back.
But then she remembered something even more important.
"Wait a moment!"
Ruoyi unscrewed another bottle of mineral water, confirming that she could indeed smell wasabi inside. After confirming that Fei Jia's judgment was correct, she said, "If both bottles of water contain wasabi, how do we determine the winner of the previous match?"
This amused Fedor somewhat.
“Silly cat.” He said softly, then added, “As I just said, Dazai never wants a result of winning or losing.”
Thinking about this, he was actually quite annoyed.
At first, he did consider that Dazai Osamu might be testing whether he would rather lose than let Kawakami Wakana drink the spiked water, but it wasn't until Kawakami Wakana offered to drink the second bottle that Fyodor realized—
What Dazai Osamu wanted to see was not how he would choose between victory and defeat and Kawakami Wakana, but whether he would make Kawakami Wakana drink a second bottle of water that was also problematic.
And he, without even realizing it, began to act in accordance with what Dazai wanted to see.
and--
What he couldn't understand even more was himself.
Why did I feel a tightness in my chest when Dazai Osamu said, "Tell me a secret about Wakana"?
"The outcome of this match is no longer important," he heard himself say.
"Hmm?" Kawakami Wakana instantly perked up.
"So Fedia means, the videotape—"
"Do whatever you want with it." Fyodor felt there was no point in continuing to fight the detective agency for the videotape. "Anyway, Francis's mind is no longer on finding 'that' at all."
Kawakami Wakai: Huh?
"That" probably refers to "the book".
Because she was also present, I had to use a more tactful approach.
As expected... Did Fedia arrange all of this for the sake of the "book"?
She had initially thought the two would continue arguing for a while. But to her utter surprise, upon hearing Fyodor's words, Dazai Osamu immediately slapped his butt, picked up the two water bottles and the lunchbox containing the strawberry soup that he had completely finished eating, and got up.
"In that case, I'll take my leave. You can continue whatever you're doing."
As he walked to the door, he grinned and said, "The delivery has arrived. Remember to give it a five-star review! Next time, I'll throw in a free strawberry-filled rye bread."
Kawakami Ruoyi: "..."
Fyodor: "..."
so--
Can I give it one star?
With Dazai Osamu gone, the room fell silent. Only Kawakami Wakana and Fyodor remained, exchanging bewildered glances.
"Fei Jia..." Ruoyi asked cautiously, "Is there... anything else?"
“No.” Fyodor stood up belatedly. “So I should go too.”
"..."
Ruoyi immediately ran to the entrance to put on her shoes: "Then I'll see you off!"
When Kawakami Wakana returned home, the weather was still very sunny, but now, the stars and moon were blocked by a thick layer of dark clouds, the temperature had dropped a bit, and the evening breeze felt a little chilly on the skin.
Sure enough, after only a few steps, raindrops were already hitting my body.
Hearing Fyodor sneeze softly beside her, she began to observe the expression on the person next to her in the dim light of the streetlamp. Fyodor's skin was already fair, and when he rubbed it, the tip of his nose immediately turned noticeably pink.
“Feijia.” She grabbed Fyodor’s hand.
"It's so late, and the weather's not good either. Why don't you go back tomorrow?"
"Hmm?" Fyodor stopped in his tracks because of her words. "Before Dazai came, I almost killed you."
"Wasn't that for the videotape?" Ruoyi said nonchalantly. "But wasn't that problem solved?"
"—As for you, Fei Jia, last time you had a fever, Dr. Black Jack said it was because you caught a chill from the temperature drop. In this weather, and at this time of day, you might not have to wait long for a taxi, so be careful not to catch a fever again."
Fyodor: "..."
What an innocent cat!
However, catching another cold would be a real problem for him, so Fyodor went down the steps and agreed to stay overnight at Wakami Kawakami's house.
A few minutes later.
Ruoyi placed the items on the floor.
"Perfect timing. I was looking for a job earlier, so to avoid having to go to interviews in faraway places, I prepared disposable toothbrushes, towels, and disposable shower gel and shampoo. I haven't used any of these, so I'll give them to you, Fei Jia. I also bought some spare underwear at the convenience store earlier."
"It's about these pajamas..."
She thought for a moment, rummaged through the wardrobe, and quickly pulled out a T-shirt with a bear pattern...
"I'm sorry, my clothes probably won't fit Fei Jia's height, but I happened to buy this one a size too big, so it should be about the same size as a dress on you."
Fyodor: "...?"
He glanced at Kawakami Wakai.
Then I looked at the bear-patterned nightgown.
For the first time in thousands of years, Fyodor felt conflicted.
he……
Do I really have to sleep in this?
If Gogol found out, he would probably laugh at him, which once again gave him the idea of sending someone flying to Siberia, or rather, the Arctic.
"It's just one night." He pushed away the bear-themed T-shirt that was being offered to him. "I can accept not taking a shower."
"No way!" Ruoyi immediately said in a loud voice, "It's getting colder tonight, and we got caught in the rain a little while we were out. What if you catch a cold if you don't take a hot shower?"
She made a sinister expression and mimicked a hospital nurse giving an injection: "Be careful, Dr. Blackjack might be giving you an injection with a needle thicker than an Italian spirit spaghetti."
Fyodor: "...?"
Such words could only scare the great detective in the Armed Detective Agency, right?
Fyodor was still pushed into the bathroom by Ruoyi. The little girl placed the disposable toiletries she had just taken out next to the bathtub, and reminded him how to adjust the water temperature before closing the bathroom door.
"..."
After a moment of silence, Fyodor quietly sent a message to Gogol.
Please help me.
【Hmm?】Gogol replied quickly, 【I already said I'm not responsible for the funeral or the burial. Besides, it's just a girl's body, can't you handle it yourself, Dostoevsky?】
[...]
【No, that's not it. I need you to buy a set of men's pajamas and use your supernatural ability to deliver them to Wakami Kawakami's bathroom.】
Gogol, upon seeing this message: ? ? ? ?
"Okay." Looking at the content on his phone, he glanced up at the municipal hospital not far away.
"Then the clown will steal you a nightgown."
…………
Kawakami Wakana sat on the carpet, playing a mobile game to pass the time. About half an hour later, the bathroom door opened. She immediately stood up, wanting to ask Fei Jia if her bathtub was comfortable.
But when she saw Fyodor's clothes, Ruoyi paused for a moment.
It wasn't the only bear T-shirt in her clothes that Fedia's height could fit into, but a very ordinary-looking men's pajama set.
oh.
It's not ordinary either.
When Ruoyi saw this outfit, she felt like she'd seen it somewhere before. After a moment's thought, she realized—wasn't this style a hospital gown?
Meanwhile, Fyodor was drying his wet hair with the towel Ruoyi had found for him. In addition, the top button of his pajamas was not fastened properly, and his collarbone, with a few drops of water still clinging to it, was clearly visible.
"...!"
Ruoyi pulled him over, pressed him onto the bed, and then started using a hairdryer to dry his hair.
“Emmm…” she said while rubbing Fyodor’s short, purplish-black hair, “Drying a human’s hair and drying Mimi’s hair are definitely different.”
Fyodor: ?
Don't compare his hair to cat fur.
“Speaking of Neko,” Fyodor said suddenly, his head slightly lowered, as Ruoyi operated the Wind Chaser, “do you know the secret Dazai mentioned about you?”
"Why...why do you suddenly want to know this?"
“It’s nothing,” Fyodor said calmly. “I’m just very concerned about what secret Dazai thinks I would be willing to trade.”
“It’s okay if you don’t want to talk about it.” Fyodor’s eyes flickered, and his voice suddenly sounded a little empty.
Kawakami Wakai:!
She glanced instinctively at Fyodor's murderous intent.
When she drank the wasabi water, her murderous intent dropped from 75% to 70%, and when she asked to stay overnight, her favorability rating also increased to 69%.
She couldn't help but start thinking about something—
Given her current level of murderous intent and favorability, if she honestly admits to having supernatural abilities, will she be killed?
...I knew it would happen!
Kawakami Wakana believed that she should not act rashly until her murderous intent level dropped below 50%.
However, if she pretends not to know, and fails to act well and is seen through by Fedia, the consequences will only be worse.
So... in order to save his life, he had to think of something that would be less likely to arouse Fega's killing intent than something that someone with superpowers like himself would hear, but something that would likely make Fega unhappy!
So, after thinking hard for a moment, Kawakami Wakana blurted out instinctively:
"N-Of course I know that!"
"Dazai is probably referring to the time I got into a fight with a kindergarten classmate using a big loaf of bread!"
"The other student was holding a baguette."
“…?” Fyodor politely typed a question mark.
[Author's Note]
Let's guess—
Was Fei Jia's apparent disappointment at Ruoyi's unwillingness to know his secret an act of feigned disappointment or genuine?
Two short skits today.
Today's Mini-Theater 1
If Lantang were still alive, the symbiotic event would be like...
Lantang was sent to negotiate with Fyodor.
Kawakami Wakai happened to pass by
She looked at Fyodor
I looked at Lantang
"..."
No wonder I felt something was missing.
She silently pulled out a large loaf of bread and a baguette: "You two, start fighting! I've been wanting to see who can smash whom!"
Fyodor and Lantang: ? ? ?
Mini Theater 2
If Ruoyi and Fyodor find an Anya (who hasn't yet met the Twilight Edition)
Anya: What? This brother wants to kill this sister, and this sister can see the brother's killing intent level? Wow, that's so cool!
then--
"chichi, haha!"
Kawakami Wakai:?
Fyodor: ?
Kawakami Wakana immediately hugged the child.
She was afraid the brat would be sent to a Siberian farm (?).
