30 Chapter 30
unprecedented.
Dazai Osamu moved into Bailibian's house.
I wasn't just passing by, eating for free, or staying overnight; I was really staying there.
Nakajima Atsushi sometimes suspected that Dazai Osamu might be the owner of this house. Until now, he could not walk around the house as freely as the other party, let alone be picky about Baili Bian.
For a whole week, Nakajima Atsushi witnessed Dazai Osamu doing a series of things in the house that he could not even imagine, including but not limited to adding seasonings to drinks, singing ghostly songs in the middle of the night, and suddenly cosplaying as a sunny doll in the house...
Although Bailibian kept telling him not to take it too seriously, Nakajima Atsushi still found it hard to believe - such a prank was a bit too much.
But Bailibian didn't seem to mind Dazai's noisy behavior. Sometimes, when Dazai made a fool of himself because of a prank, he would even drag Nakajima Atsushi to watch the fun.
Although it is a bit inappropriate to say this, but watching Bailibian making cruel laughs at Dazai Osamu who brought it upon himself, and watching the two of them interact as if no one else was around, Nakajima Atsushi sometimes felt that he was the one who joined later.
But there didn't seem to be anything wrong with this. From the very beginning, Nakajima Atsushi knew that Dazai Osamu and Bailibian had known each other for many years, but had been separated for a while because of work.
Even so, Nakajima Atsushi still felt strangely uneasy. This feeling was inexplicably different from the one he felt when he first met Yumeno Hisasaku, making him feel even more uncomfortable.
"Put it down, Dazai! The pottery statue will break."
"No. Baili, don't you think it's unhealthy for a cat to stay in one place all day?"
"Not at all! Tao doesn't seem to gain weight."
After a long period of training, Nakajima Atsushi no longer frets about the conflicts between Dazai Osamu and Bailibian like he did in the early days. Now, he is Nakajima Atsushi 2.0, not only can he join the battlefield calmly, but he can even unexpectedly help Bailibian capture hostages.
With the addition of Nakajima Atsushi, the war situation instantly reversed. Under the disadvantage of 1V2, Dazai Osamu was defeated step by step. Bailibian and Nakajima Atsushi successfully rescued the black cat statue trapped in a high place.
Although Dazai Osamu argued, Bailibian still put the black cat back to its original place. However, as the winner, he mercifully gave Dazai Osamu a chance to verify his theory - Bailibian gave Dazai Osamu the important task of going out to buy groceries.
So Dazai Osamu took Nakajima Atsushi out together.
So the responsibility of buying groceries was entrusted to Nakajima Atsushi.
The task of running errands was not difficult for Nakajima Atsushi.
Due to the difference in cooking skills, Bailibian has always been responsible for cooking at home, while Nakajima Atsushi is usually only responsible for assisting and dealing with the mess. However, through training, he now has the ability to select ingredients.
But it is difficult for Nakajima Atsushi to be optimistic about Dazai Osamu.
"How long are you going to hang here, Dazai-nii?"
Nakajima Atsushi vaguely remembered that when he went out, he and Dazai Osamu were walking side by side. After walking for a while, he found that the other party suddenly fell behind. As soon as he turned his head, he saw the other party jumped into the water without hesitation.
Out of respect, after making sure that Dazai Osamu was not seriously injured, Nakajima Atsushi walked with him along the river bank.
But the current seemed unstable, and in the blink of an eye, Dazai was ahead of him. Nakajima Atsushi finally caught up with him, but found that Dazai had used the bandage on his hand to hang himself on a thick branch.
For the first time, Nakajima Atsushi discovered that the road from home to the vegetable market was so long. During the journey, he witnessed Dazai Osamu drowning, Dazai Osamu hanging himself, Dazai Osamu falling into a trash can, and Dazai Osamu saying that someone was robbed...
Fortunately, after going through 81 difficulties, they finally arrived at the vegetable market.
Using the skills passed down by Baili Bian himself, Nakajima Atsushi carefully selects each vegetable, does not miss any radish, and carefully observes each tomato, finally harvesting perfect ingredients.
But at such an exciting moment, he discovered that Dazai Osamu had disappeared again.
Picking up the vegetable basket, Nakajima Atsushi resigned himself to his fate and began to look around.
Fortunately, the discovery was made in time and Dazai did not have time to go far. Nakajima Atsushi saw Dazai hiding in the bushes in a park not far away.
"Dazai-nii! You…"
"Shh-"
Before Nakajima Atsushi could finish his words, Dazai Osamu asked him to squat down with him.
Although puzzled, Nakajima Atsushi still obeyed Dazai's instructions. After squatting down, following Dazai's gaze, Nakajima Atsushi saw a girl crying alone.
What's going on?
Nakajima Atsushi wanted to get up, but he restrained himself. He squatted quietly with Dazai Osamu, watching the girl cry, watching her family come, watching them quarrel, and watching the director call cut.
Leaving the park, Nakajima Atsushi cleaned up the grass roots stuck from the bushes as he walked.
Looking at Dazai Osamu who was still not satisfied, Nakajima Atsushi smiled bitterly and complained: "Although it is indeed interesting to watch others make movies with your own eyes, Dazai-san should at least tell me first."
"Tell what?"
"Ah?" Nakajima Atsushi never thought that Dazai Osamu would respond to him.
Dazai Osamu didn't turn his head to look at Nakajima Atsushi. He continued to look straight ahead and walked forward. "Should I tell you that I'm going to watch a play, or should I tell you that they are filming a movie?"
"Uh, let's take both." Nakajima Atsushi couldn't help but slow down his pace.
"But why tell Don?"
Hey? Why?
Nakajima Atsushi was a little confused, but still replied, "Because we came out together."
"Oh, because we came out together, Dun wanted to make sure nothing happened to me, so I told Dun when I went to the theater. Right?"
Dazai Osamu's voice had no ups and downs, and it seemed as if he was just narrating the plot of a movie.
After listening to this, Nakajima Atsushi nodded seriously.
But Dazai Osamu then raised another question.
"Similarly, this is why Atsushi was concerned about my entry into the water, asked me how long I would be hanging from the tree, and asked me when I would get out of the trash can." Dazai Osamu paused slightly and asked in a tone without any curiosity, "Then why did you tell Atsushi-kun that they were filming?"
Is there any difference?
Nakajima Atsushi was stunned.
Dazai Osamu patiently said, "Their filming has nothing to do with me, and it has nothing to do with you. Whether it's a filming or not, their behavior has nothing to do with us. So why do you need to know about this?"
because,
because……
Dazai Osamu stopped.
Nakajima Atsushi then stopped.
Even though he wasn't being watched, Nakajima Atsushi felt like he was being seen through.
He thought for a long time before stammering, "Because this way, I won't worry about that girl."
"That's not right, Don."
The answer that I worked so hard to come up with was denied without a doubt.
"Think about it again," he said, like a devil tempting a greedy human to sign a contract. "Why didn't you rush forward when I told you someone was being robbed? You clearly wanted to go forward, and you clearly didn't care whether it was true or not, so why did you stop? Why did you need to confirm whether you were lying?"
Ordinary small talk seems to have become a difficult problem that must be solved.
Nakajima Atsushi couldn't tell whether it was a casual response or a result of deep thought. He simply replied, "My brother said that before understanding the full picture, we should not jump to conclusions, respect other people's choices, and protect our own interests."
"She's a very good child. Even if she disagrees, even if what she truly wants to insist on goes against what Baili said, she still chooses to listen to her brother." Dazai Osamu laughed happily, but then said something particularly cruel. "But even so, she still couldn't be the child Baili wanted. What a pity, Atsushi."
What a pity.
I still couldn't become the child my brother wanted.
Still can’t…
Something suddenly blurred the world, and when Nakajima Atsushi raised his head, Dazai Osamu had already walked in front of him again.
The distance wasn't far, and the pace wasn't fast. Even though Nakajima Atsushi felt like his legs weighed a thousand pounds, he still managed to keep up with Dazai Osamu's pace.
"Your ability is to transform into a cat. Even resistance might be difficult. Saving others without considering the consequences will only be more dangerous." Dazai Osamu finally became curious. He asked the drowsy Nakajima Atsushi with a puzzled look, "Why would you save someone who has nothing to do with you?"
…
…
Will patient waiting bring the real answer?
“…Because…the dean said…”
What did the dean say?
Although the last time he saw the dean was just a few months ago, Nakajima Atsushi just couldn't remember what the dean had said to him. He didn't even know what he had said to Dazai Osamu.
He just remembered that before he pushed the door open, he heard Dazai Osamu's reply -
"That's much easier."
What's easier to do?
Nakajima Atsushi didn't know.
Bailibian prepared a large wardrobe for him in his bedroom.
Even if I bought a lot of clothes, I still couldn't fill them all.
Bailibian prepared a suitable bed for him in the bedroom.
But Nakajima Atsushi still couldn't control the urge to go back to the closet.
I don’t know how long I stayed there.
But I haven't wiped the tears from my face yet.
The cabinet door was opened.
It’s a hundred miles away.
And there was Dazai Osamu standing at the door.
It seems like he knows everything, and yet it seems like he knows nothing.
Anyway, it's time to eat.
"What should we do next?" After watching the soul-deprived Nakajima Atsushi return to the bedroom again after lunch, Bailibian asked Dazai Osamu about his next plan.
Dazai Osamu was lying lazily on the sofa, not in a hurry. He relaxed and savored the fruit that Nakajima Atsushi had washed before going upstairs.
Dazai Osamu replied slowly, "Don't worry, it will take two or three days."
Bailibian tried to find out the trick, but Dazai Osamu still looked confident and no one could find any flaws.
All right.
At worst, I can use my special abilities to make up for it.
Bailibian also went upstairs to take a nap.
Dazai Osamu, who was alone in the living room, breathed a sigh of relief. He had been a worrywart for a long time, and this was his first time as a psychologist. He accidentally used too much force - fortunately Bailibian didn't notice.
