Atobe Nanako let out a long sigh when she returned to the shrine holding Dazai Osamu's vest.

At least two-thirds of the script was completed by myself.

Nanako Atobe, who was wearing the vest of Chuuya Nakahara, was looking at Dazai Osamu who was unconscious with his eyes closed. The blood on the latter's face had been wiped dry, and he looked very peaceful lying on the bed in his shrine maiden costume.

It's totally different from usual!!

Nanako Atobe recalled the feeling of increased coverage from the vest when she used Dazai Osamu's vest, and tried to poke the black-haired girl's face with her fingers.

Nanako Atobe: "..."

Nanako Atobe: "!! So soft."

The vest created by the system is exactly the same as the real person.

Atobe Nanako marveled at the magic of the system while relaxing her hands and feet. These days are indeed very tiring. On the one hand, she has to pay attention to Oda Sakunosuke's affairs, and on the other hand, she has to grasp the situation of [Dazai Osamu] and make good adjustments.

After all, this vest is expensive and fragile.

Atobe Nanako looked down at the black-haired girl's face with some melancholy, and finally felt regretful when the system prompted that the usage time was less than 40 hours.

There is only a little time left.

All the power gained from the previous world disappeared after using this vest for a period of time.

Atobe Nanako shook her head and sighed.

When the system prompted that someone had arrived, Atobe Nanako was stunned, her face gloomy, and she began to enter her own script.

Oda Sakunosuke stood in the mountains.

He looked around but didn't see any buildings. He started running back and forth in the mountains anxiously, trying to find the shrine he had been to before.

pious.

Oda Sakunosuke was eager to find red wood, as such a building would definitely stand out in the mountains. But no matter what, he couldn't find the location of the shrine.

There is a destined person.

He couldn't see the shrine. Why couldn't he find the shrine?

Behind Oda Sakunosuke followed the silent Dazai Osamu.

Dazai Osamu raised his head and looked at Oda Sakunosuke's back, his iris-colored eyes were calm. He just watched the man running back and forth, and finally his eyes settled on one spot.

It was like seeing the real thing, but he didn't make a sound.

He did not tell Oda Sakunosuke what he saw, nor did he tell Oda Sakunosuke that such a search was meaningless. Perhaps Oda Sakunosuke could not make a wish even if he saw [Nakahara Chuuya], because [Nakahara Chuuya] at this time could not hide Oda Sakunosuke's wish.

Because of [Dazai Osamu].

How could it be possible to allow Oda Sakunosuke, who was rescued with great difficulty, to cleanse himself again? Dazai Osamu would not allow it, and it was impossible for him to let Oda Sakunosuke and Nakahara Chuuya meet.

Ahhh——

How could such a thing happen?

Dazai Osamu thought a little irritably.

Oda Sakunosuke's steps were a little unsteady, but he quickly steadied himself even after stepping on a stone. He did not stop, he was very stubborn. I have never seen anyone more stubborn than Oda Sakunosuke.

From your midday, to your sunset, and then to the evening when night falls.

Everything was quiet, extremely quiet.

Oda Sakunosuke did not stop.

Perhaps the only thing in his mind at that moment was the girl's expression, or the blood at the corner of her mouth. Oda Sakunosuke did not want anyone to stay in the best time because of him, especially this [Dazai Osamu].

This [Dazai Osamu] is different from the Dazai Osamu in his world.

Oda Sakunosuke had already discovered it.

A certain point of Dazai Osamu.

It is because of this discovery that he struggles even harder and hopes that this kind of [Dazai Osamu] can live out his own future.

Oda Sakunosuke walked tirelessly.

His face was not looking good at this moment, and his expression was not as lively as at the beginning. Compared to the joy of knowing that his children were not dead and that he would live to write novels, the price of [Dazai Osamu] had been completely suppressed.

Dazai Osamu: "Odasaku."

Finally, a voice called out to Oda Sakunosuke.

Oda Sakunosuke turned around and saw the black-haired boy.

Dazai Osamu: “It’s over there.”

He finally spoke out.

At this moment, when Dazai Osamu said this, the shrine in another world finally appeared in Oda Sakunosuke's eyes.

Oda Sakunosuke: "Did Dazai see it a long time ago?"

Dazai Osamu: “Yes.”

Oda Sakunosuke looked at Dazai Osamu.

The black-haired boy shrugged: "I really didn't want to tell Odasaku at first, but..." His eyes fell on a certain place, and an ochre figure appeared in front of him, and finally flashed away.

He sighed slowly, as if he knew something: "I found that no matter who it is, it's the same. Maybe someone... maybe a human, might have the same idea as Odasaku."

Oda Sakunosuke didn't quite understand what Dazai Osamu meant.

But for Dazai Osamu, he still stepped into the shrine.

There was no one in the shrine.

There was no one there, and Oda Sakunosuke didn't find anything as he walked along the paths.

Everything was eerily deserted.

Until we got outside a room.

Feeling someone coughing inside, Oda Sakunosuke stood at the door for a while, then slowly knocked on the door, and finally called out calmly: "Dazai, can I come in?"

"No—" the voice inside said.

But Dazai Osamu spoke first: "Okay."

He pushed the door open directly.

Oda Sakunosuke frowned and said to Dazai Osamu seriously, "Dazai, you can't open the door of the girl's room casually."

Dazai Osamu answered casually: "It's me after all."

Oda Sakunosuke felt that what he said was right, but also felt that what he said was wrong. After thinking it over, he finally walked in.

The two people who walked in quickly set their sights on the black-haired girl sitting there. The black-haired girl was not much different from before, her face was still as pale and she looked lifeless.

"Odasaku is right." The pale-faced black-haired girl said with a forced smile, "I was really terrible in the other world. I had no manners at all. Odasaku, please teach him a lesson."

The girl didn't show any intention of scolding him, but Dazai could clearly hear the mockery of himself from her tone.

Oda Sakunosuke nodded seriously: "I will."

Dazai Osamu looked at Oda Sakunosuke in disbelief.

Oda Sakunosuke turned around and said, "That's it, Dazai still has to do it."

Dazai Osamu: “…”

Dazai Osamu was dissatisfied: "Odasaku is biased."

The black-haired girl smiled and nodded, but when Oda Sakunosuke turned his head, she spoke again: "Oda Sakunosuke - go write the novel quickly. You promised to show me the ending, don't cheat."

Oda Sakunosuke said seriously: "Dazai, a novel cannot be completed in an instant."

The black-haired girl casually agreed, "Ah, anyway, just write well, Odasaku."

Oda Sakunosuke: "I will definitely write it, so Dazai must live to see the book."

The girl was silent for a while.

"Come to think of it, Odasaku shouldn't be able to come in." The girl didn't answer Odasaku's words but changed the subject and looked at Dazai Osamu, "So it was you who told Odasaku about this location."

Dazai Osamu: “That’s what Odasaku wants to know.”

Black-haired girl: "You said it."

The two Dazais seemed to dislike each other but couldn't do anything about it. The oldest one, Oda Sakunosuke, was watching from the side, so their quarrel could not cause any waves.

Oda Sakunosuke: "Dazai, are you feeling well?"

Black-haired girl: "Not bad, I can still live for a while."

Oda Sakunosuke: "Dazai, I can't let you bear such a price for me."

Oda Sakunosuke spoke.

He never wanted to avoid a topic, and it was the best decision to face it head on, especially in this case.

Since this matter concerns him, he should solve it.

Just save the children, as for his life...

"No." The black-haired girl smiled and raised a finger. Her tone was gentle, as smooth as a violin, "Sometimes friends are like this. Odasaku, you also told me the meaning of friends, right?"

"Are you here to make a wish with Chuuya?"

The sudden question startled Oda Sakunosuke. He nodded without disguising, "Yes, I did come to make a wish to the God."

"The choice is still my choice, and it has nothing to do with Odasaku. If it weren't for my intervention, Odasaku would not have escaped this disaster anyway."

"So go back." The black-haired girl said, "And Chuuya won't accept wishes from anyone anymore."

Oda Sakunosuke was stunned.

"Odasaku now knows the price, but he doesn't know that Chuuya will also pay a price for fulfilling this wish. Chuuya is no longer able to pay the price, and he can't afford it."

"Does the god have to pay a price too?" asked Oda Sakunosuke.

"Of course." The black-haired girl replied, and she suddenly suggested excitedly, "I want to eat something. Odasaku, why don't you help me get it? It's right next to me, right next to me."

Oda Sakunosuke was stunned for a moment, then turned around.

Probably went to find the room the girl mentioned.

"The way to get rid of Odasaku is terrible." Osamu Dazai said.

The girl said: "Better than you."

"Where's Chuuya?" Dazai Osamu suddenly spoke.

The black-haired girl's expression remained unchanged, and she slowly stretched out the syllables: "Chuuya, aren't you living well over there?"

She raised her arm and pointed in a direction. Indeed, a ochre figure could be vaguely seen outside the window. Although it was not obvious, it still existed.

"Is it true that the other me doesn't understand?" Dazai Osamu found a random chair and sat down. "You want me to speak so bluntly. Am I assimilated by a slimy, brainless little slug?"

The impolite tone did not cause the black-haired girl to get angry. She slowly raised her head and looked at Dazai Osamu with a weird smile: "You connect me with the dwarf? I am not very smart in the other world."

His tone was full of sarcasm.

“So what is Chuuya’s price? Now that you’ve asked me so clearly, don’t hide it anymore—”

“Chuuya…”

The black-haired girl's expression calmed down, as if she had thought of something.

Those iris-colored eyes seemed to be covered with an unclear mist.

"What he exchanged was [humanity]." said the black-haired girl.

Dazai Osamu was stunned.

He suddenly realized something and looked at the girl with wide eyes.

"He has already exchanged all the feelings about human nature that we have accumulated over the years."

"This is the last time I'll pay the price."

The girl suddenly pointed at herself.

"Because I'm dying."
