Shui Jiangyi, who had thought so much the night before going to bed, not surprisingly suffered from insomnia that night. He lay on the window sill with his pillow in his arms. The night outside was so peaceful and quiet, dotted with countless stars, which twinkled and illuminated the world, as if telling some tearful secret.
It's as if I'm just silently watching the sun rise and set, watching lights belonging to other people light up, and watching lights go down, gazing at this world unchangingly.
Shui Jiangyi tilted his head and lowered his eyes, took out his cell phone and wanted to send something, but he found that he didn't know anyone in this world. Apart from Dazai Osamu, he didn't know who to send the message to.
But this Dazai Osamu is no longer the Dazai Osamu who he could call to drink together in the alley in front of the port mafia in this lonely night and not want to wake up.
Shui Jiangyi thought for a while, but did not turn off the phone. Instead, he entered a blank account number.
After some typing, I wrote something on it.
The next day, when Shui Jiangyi went to the port mafia, he saw Nakajima Atsushi standing at the door with a document in his arms, looking a little confused. He looked inside the door for a long time, but was reluctant to go in.
The clear sky outside the window fell on Nakajima Atsushi's cheek. Nakajima Atsushi heard footsteps behind him and turned around. He saw Nakahara Chuuya walking towards him. He smiled subconsciously and said, "Mr. Chuuya, maybe you will lose today."
Missed the bet? Shui Jiangyi frowned and said, "Are there any guests visiting?"
Excuse me for being frank, but Mizue Yi can only think of this possibility. After all, Dazai Osamu in the if line is too much of a homebody. It seems that his social circle, apart from socializing with upper-class socialites, only left Nakajima Atsushi and Nakahara Chuuya when he stayed in the Port Mafia.
Nakajima Atsushi shook his head: "No, it's the leader... He seems to be out."
·
Going out?
Shui Jiangyi raised an eyebrow at this answer, but he was not surprised. Although it was true that Dazai Osamu was a homebody and his assumption was not wrong, Dazai Osamu was always someone who could go beyond his imagination, so he had long been able to develop a good resistance to the possibility that Dazai Osamu might do something that went beyond his ideas.
Moreover, perhaps Shui Jiangyi already had a rough guess about who Dazai Osamu might be going out to meet.
He might have gone to see Odasaku, whom Mizue Yoshiki had previously mentioned to Dazai Osamu.
But this is also in line with the background of the story, right? After all, it seems that in Nakahara Chuuya's memory, Dazai Osamu also met Oda Saku.
And they met more than once, so after Dazai Osamu left, Nakahara Chuuya followed Dazai Osamu's previous path and met Oda Saku as well.
He said: "Sorry to bother you, but if Dazai goes out, he won't be back soon. The documents in your hand..."
Shui Jiangyi casually glanced at the documents in his hand and said, "You should come back tomorrow or later today."
Nakajima Atsushi nodded and said, "Okay."
Seeing that he was about to turn around and leave, Shui Jiangyi asked him, "So what are you going to do now?"
Nakajima Atsushi turned his head in surprise and looked at Nakahara Chuuya. He said, "Hmm? I have to carry out the mission issued yesterday. A small organization saw the demise of other organizations, so they broke out a war in advance. This is not a small accident. It is beyond our expectations, so I have to deal with this matter now."
Shui Jiangyi said: "It seems to be a very troublesome matter. How about I go with you?"
"Eh." If Mizue Yi calling him was enough to make Nakajima Atsushi confused, then what he said now was more like a prelude to something else. However, Nakajima Atsushi did not reject this matter. He smiled and said, "Okay, if you are willing, Mr. Chuuya, I will certainly take the responsibility for this matter."
As he spoke, he took a step forward, turned sideways and said to Shui Jiangyi with a smile: "...Please come in."
Nakajima Atsushi has become particularly mature and reserved during this period of time, Shui Jiangyi couldn't help but sigh.
The last time Dazai Osamu encountered something, Nakajima Atsushi was still like a flustered kid, but now he has completely changed from his previous innocence.
But coincidentally, Shui Jiang Yi did not reject his change, because it was not until today that he truly saw the restrained murderous intent in the introverted Nakajima Atsushi.
Mizue Yi followed Nakajima Atsushi to the training session with a smile on his face. After Dazai Osamu took over, the people in the Port Mafia became more organized in their training.
They stood in front of Shui Jiangyi like immobile weapons, exuding a cold aura.
Shui Jiangyi could even see the bloodiness in their eyes, which was the experience accumulated after fighting on countless battlefields.
They were all a little surprised to see Shui Jiangyi, and a hint of incredible emotion flashed in their eyes, but no one showed it.
Nakajima Atsushi whispered to Mizue Yi: "Maybe you don't know, but these were all Mr. Nakahara's subordinates when he was still in the Port Mafia, so..."
So I felt a little emotional when I saw Shui Jiangyi.
In fact, Shui Jiangyi is the same. In some things, this world seems to have nothing to do with this world, but in some minor matters, it is so similar to the people in this world.
The partners who once followed Zhongyuan Chuuya were also in this world and were remembered one by one by Shui Jiangyi who had just arrived in this world.
Then I watched them walk towards the not-too-distant future, talking about death and never waking up again.
Shui Jiangyi shook his head and said, "There's no need to worry about this kind of thing."
At this point, he couldn't help but laugh: "Well, rather than saying that there's no need to worry about it, I was actually looking forward to watching their fight."
Shui Jiangyi smiled and said, "Because in my past world, you were not the only one there. I knew them too."
Nakajima Atsushi nodded in realization. He said, "Is that so? That's great, but if I were to let you do it, Mr. Chuuya, it would be extremely rude."
He said, "For this expedition, let me take charge."
·
During the long period of time when Nakajima Atsushi led people to clear out those groups, he learned to think independently for the first time and thought about many things.
Thinking about how to solve this problem, thinking about how to solve this problem as quickly as possible with the least number of people.
He said before that he finally understood what Chuuya Nakahara was thinking, but in the end he realized that he was not Chuuya Nakahara's cadre at all, and he could not figure out what Chuuya Nakahara was thinking no matter what he did.
He is not as strong as Chuuya Nakahara, and all he can do is keep moving forward.
Keep moving forward, keep moving forward, just like a wild dog, giving 100% effort to the home he finally found and to protect his rights.
Shui Jiangyi squatted on the top floor, a few bright moonlight fell on him, the evening wind blew up his black cloak. He lazily enjoyed the beauty of the night, watching the fighting below from a distance.
In Shui Jiangyi's memory, Zhongyuan Zhongye hated the kind of people who killed people the most, even though he was born into this world as a huge killing weapon.
However, Nakahara Chuuya still maintained a passionate heart. Even if he encountered many incomprehensible things, he still did not get rid of his desire for humanity.
Why is Dazai Osamu so special?
Mizue Yi raised his eyes and looked into the distance. He knew that in two different ways, Dazai Osamu should have met Oda Saku at this time, and in a more distant place, Nakahara Chuuya was tiredly processing documents.
Waiting for the call from Dazai Osamu that might come at any time, he was in this era and he knew clearly that if he did something to change something, the predetermined, tragic future would not happen.
But……
He was surprised to find that there was nothing he could do.
Is it because he is in the middle of a conspiracy? Or is it because Shui Jiangyi doesn't know the reason? Or maybe, he is not the protagonist of this world, he is just a spectator, so his emotions are not important at all.
Or maybe even if his emotions were really strong, he still couldn't solve those stories.
After all, he is not the protagonist.
There seemed to be a sigh in his ear. Shui Jiangyi raised his head following the sound and saw Dazai Osamu beside him.
The soft and wet long hair fell down and landed on Shui Jiangyi's shoulders, bringing an indescribable itchiness. Dazai Osamu was wearing the same simple robe he wore when they first met.
The soft fabric fell on Shui Jiangyi's face as he moved. Shui Jiangyi looked up at the long-haired Dazai Osamu without blinking. Under the moonlight, he was so beautiful that he looked like a god who was hardly visible at all.
The god lowered his body, bent his waist, and lifted up Shui Jiangyi's cheek.
He said softly, "We just need to wait for a good opportunity. The rest of the time, you don't need to worry about him."
Shui Jiangyi said: "Can it be solved so easily?"
Dazai Osamu said: "Maybe it can be done, maybe it can't be done, this is just an unknown for us at the moment."
"But."
His voice was as gentle as a wisp of wind, and he spoke in a low voice.
"I don't want you to be sad at this moment."
