Chapter 18
The air was silent for a moment.
【………】
【ah? ? ? ? 】
What the hell? ? What did Shen Du call this old lady? 】
[Dazai, he said Dazai (tactical fadeaway.jpg)]
[My family, I don’t know if you have watched Bungo Stray Dogs: Woof. In one episode, Dazai pretended to be an old lady and tricked Chuuya into helping him…]
I dried up the silence
[Shen Du has very sharp eyes, he can see all this? ? 】
[It's really nice to see you. He's willing to pay for it even though he knows you're cheating on him.]
The old lady standing opposite looked as silent as the barrage.
She… Oh no, he tore off the skin on his face, opened the clothes wrapped around his body, stood up straight, and said with emotion in a long tone: "She is really always helping others and extending a helping hand to all strangers without distinction."
"Meet Liu Jun."
The black-haired boy who revealed his true face was slender and handsome. His iris-colored eyes examined the boy in front of him vaguely. He said with emotion or curiosity, "But how did you find me?"
"I thought I had a good disguise, but the other subordinates didn't notice it at all—"
This disguise is far from enough for the super high school level Hope.
Shen Du Jian Liu tilted his head and said calmly: "Because it's Mr. Dazai, I can recognize him."
“…”
"You just said you wanted to find me?"
Dazai Osamu skipped the previous topic and said, "If I remember correctly, we just met this morning. What do you want to talk to me about?"
When Kamado Jianru didn't respond, he first looked down at his phone and saw that Oda Sakunosuke had already replied to his message.
[Sorry, I was dealing with some tasks and wasn't looking at my phone just now. ］
[What's the matter? ］
Looks like he's busy.
We can't go eat curry together.
Shen Du saw Liu raise his hand and reply to the other party with a message [Nothing, thank you for your hard work] and then put away his phone.
He originally wanted to fulfill his promise and have lunch right away, but the third person seemed to have no time.
Giving up the plan to eat curry, Kamado Miru thought about his current situation and decided to try out his new way of complaining again. He answered the other person honestly: "Because..."
"I want to see Mr. Dazai, so I'll come find you."
"I can do 10 backflips for you, what do you think?"
Osamu Dazai: "…………"
The handsome black-haired boy seemed to choke for a moment, and his expression became extremely subtle.
He looked at Shen Du Jianliu's sincere and clear eyes with a disgusted look, but quickly looked away after just a few seconds.
"What the Black Lizard member said earlier is correct. You do have a cheesy talent in certain areas."
"And I don't have any expectations of male cravings."
“…”
Shen Du Jian Liu: Oh.
The effect seems to be average.
But in the words of the barrage, he just wanted to be friends with the other person.
"never mind."
Dazai glanced at Watari's pocket which contained his cell phone, and said speechlessly, "Were you chatting with Odasaku just now? Come to think of it, we don't have any contact information yet."
"Let's exchange phone numbers."
"OK."
When Shen Du saw Liu handing him the phone expressionlessly, he naturally wanted to deepen their relationship.
"Well, that's it. I'm leaving now."
Dazai Osamu threw the phone back, turned around without any nostalgia, waved his hand and left: "I still have some personal matters to deal with, don't look for me if you have nothing to do."
"Um."
Shen Du Jianliu stood obediently where he was, satisfying the other party's wishes and not following him within his field of vision.
However, the black-haired boy who left in a cool manner walked for a while and obviously did not go to the station or port headquarters where he could transfer. The direction he was heading was... Tsurumi River.
It is a river with extremely fast currents that stretches across the entire eastern part of Yokohama.
Shen Du saw the flow and immediately followed the other party.
As expected, Dazai Osamu's feet moved as fast as if they were greased, not giving anyone time to react. Seeing the rapid water flow and the rushing river, he jumped in without hesitation.
With a "splash", the gurgling river water suddenly splashed into a sparkling white water.
Shen Du saw Liu taking off his coat and jumping into the river with him. The surging water swallowed both of them mercilessly at the same time. They fell rapidly under the force of gravity, and the water coming from all directions rushed towards their eyeballs and nasal cavities.
But both boys were indifferent.
One closed his eyes and died quietly, while the other moved freely in the water.
The white-haired boy, whose skin was almost transparent, looked even paler underwater, but his thin limbs were incredibly strong. He easily grabbed the arm of another person in the turbulent water and swam with him to the shallow shore near the shore.
"cough--"
The two men emerged from the water at the same time, squatting by the river like drowned rats, looking at each other.
"…Meet Liu-kun."
The atmosphere was silent for an unknown amount of time. Dazai Osamu let the remaining river water flow through his hair and across his bandaged cheeks. His voice was slightly hoarse because he had just been in the water. "Do you have any extreme devotion or have you been cursed?"
"I've never seen someone as clingy as you."
Even Odasaku maintained a safe distance from each other and never crossed that line easily.
"Mr. Dazai, please don't commit suicide again."
Shen Du Jianliu wiped his white eyelashes that were covered with water beads and said innocently: "I am willing to stay by your side and help you find the meaning of life."
"So...what does this have to do with you, Jianliu-kun."
The black-haired boy looked at him expressionlessly, with a bandage soaked in river water on his right eye, blocking the almost scalding temperature that was almost touched.
Although he called the other person's name intimately, Dazai Osamu's only left eye, which was as blue as yesterday, showed an indifference that was almost the same as yesterday, so deep that it seemed to be able to absorb a person's soul: "What kind of existence am I in your eyes?"
"To satisfy one's own ideal goal, to follow a procedure step by step, one of the millions of people who need help?"
"How arrogant..."
"It's okay if it's not me, right?"
The black-haired boy raised the corners of his lips slightly. His eyes were empty. The afterglow of the evening did not leave a single gleam in his brown eyes. “Even when I’m not here, isn’t Jian Liujun helping the old lady crossing the road?”
"Or does your theory of being a good person require you to pay attention to others all the time? This further confirms my point that your rescue is extensive and does not need to be obsessed with me."
"I also need my private space, you know."
[Dazai, are you speaking directly? Want to keep your distance? It’s so rare.]
[Shh, I feel like Dazai hit the nail on the head]
[Black mud attack, activated]
[To be honest, what Zai said makes sense. Even if it wasn't him, Shen Du would lend a helping hand to other people in his situation. He is not the only one.]
[Why do I smell jealousy...]
[I feel that Zai is still different. The divine crossing that tolerates Zai time and time again also makes me see light and hope]
[It’s good to help ordinary people, but I want to see Shendu save Dazai even more]

"Isn't that the old lady dressed up by Mr. Dazai?"
Shen Du Jianliu blinked in confusion, his eyes swept across the barrage calmly, and read without any expression: "Mr. Dazai is different."
"If you think I'm pushing you too hard, I'll take control."
The white-haired boy had a lot of experience in dealing with desperate people, and he could feel that this was the first time the other party was serious about what he said.
It is a very good thing that the other party is willing to actively communicate with you. Perhaps, as Dazai Osamu said, he was really pushing the other person a little too far.
This world without "despair" made me feel a little urgent in a comfortable environment, and I might not have mastered the rhythm of comforting the other person.
Shen Du Jian Liu pondered for a moment and decided to quit while he was ahead. "If you don't commit suicide tonight, I'll leave now."
"As for what kind of person Mr. Dazai is in my eyes..."
"A trapped beast wandering in the world, a crying child left alone because he was too smart, his eyes were filled with confusion that could be called despair."
He felt that this sentence was very appropriate.
"Sorry, this is my first time making friends with someone."
"So I can't just leave you alone."
