Chapter 312 Forty-Seven Presidents
Chijiang Nayue looked at the pair of iris-colored eyes that were smiling until tears came out for a few seconds. The irritating smile that she originally put on when facing her friends was now expressionless.
The atmosphere froze for a short moment, and Sigma couldn't help but shudder. He carefully looked around at the expressions of the two people who were looking at each other, and suddenly he felt unsure.
Really? Even if Dazai Osamu is indeed the former guardian of his adopted brother and the first human in the world to come into contact with the book-created man, it stands to reason that Dazai Osamu, who has special powers, cannot write down a wish that can be fulfilled in the book. What if his brother doesn't have such a good relationship with Dazai Osamu...?
What Sigma didn't know was that this was because the "Book" in their world was special and basically didn't count. Dazai Osamu's ability could only erase the abilities of the same person, and the "Book" that was already involved in the origin of the world would not be affected.
So even Dazai Osamu himself and the book itself did not know that when he casually wrote that line of words on the real page of the book, he had in a sense changed the fate of himself and countless people in this world - the desire for survival in the countless bubble worlds was able to burst out with Dazai Osamu's wish as a carrier, and Akae Nazuki was born.
[I really want a subordinate who has useful abilities, is obedient, and can solve my problems.]*
With this wish as the divergence point, two routes are derived: [Dazai Osamu becomes the leader and dies in the end] and [Dazai Osamu creates a life that belongs to him and loses it a few years later].
Obviously, the world they are in now was originally one of the parallel worlds derived from the second route, and after Chijiang Nayue blended the two worlds together, their world became the main world based on it.
In short, according to the observations of the book, the birth of Chijiang Nayue was a coincidence among coincidences, an unrepeatable miracle with only a 0.1% probability among billions of parallel worlds.
After all, in the original trajectory of fate, there is only one [Sigma] in the world. Although the [Sigma] in the parallel world looks more or less different, and their personalities and final outcomes are also different, they (maybe they) are undoubtedly [Sigma], not [Chijiang Nayue], and are the loneliest travelers in the world.
Without a past, without a future... and even without 'living' in the present, he (she) is just walking in the world in a daze.
This is also what Sigma in this world doesn't know. He has a strong and urgent desire to get close to Akajina Yue because his body instinctively knows things that even his brain has not reacted to.
——This is the only world where Sigma is no longer alone and has a family that truly belongs to him.
Chijiang Nayue realized that Sigma's empathy for him was a bit too much. Even though Sigma had grasped the anchor of living in the world through his existence, his initial behavior was a bit strange.
But he had seen his own shadow in Sigma, the 19-year-old self, the lonely "Unsheathed Sword" living in the real world in an illusory way.
Because of this, he couldn't just abandon Sigma like this. After all, he was the only person in the world who could empathize with Sigma and understand the loneliness in his heart.
Isn't it just raising a younger brother? It's not like I can't afford it, so I'll raise him!
Chijiang Nayue, who likes to label his belongings, even thought about changing the name column in Sigma's household registration to 'Chijiang Xigema'... Unfortunately, this beautiful idea was shattered by Furuya Ling with a frown on his face.
【“That doesn’t sound good at all! And you should ask him what he thinks first.” Fūya Reifu, “That guy——Okay, stop looking at me like that, Sigma, okay? Sigma is not a child who can’t think for himself, and we are not used to you. If a brother suddenly appears and wants to control everything about him, his first reaction will definitely be resistance.”
Chi Jiang Na Yue assured that he was really innocent this time. This was definitely an idea he had thought carefully about, after all.
"He won't." Chi Jiang Na Yue said the truth in a deep voice, "Xiao Xi will hesitate whether this is bad in the universal value, and then happily accept it. Because for Xiao Xi, he will not refuse any opportunity to establish a deeper connection with me."
Furiya Rei: "...He is really your brother, isn't he someone you kidnapped from somewhere?"
I can't believe it! Their control freak brother is actually an angel? 】
Angel?
Miss Akae in the carriage instinctively felt like sneezing.
If she knew what Furuya Rei was thinking, she would refute it immediately.
Make no mistake, she was so determined only because she knew that Sigmar's obsession with 'home' and 'the only thing in the world that belongs to him' was so intense that even Fyodor was surprised by it.
But it doesn't matter. The reason why she is so tolerant of Sigma is because she is confident that she can bear any consequences. Chijiang Nayue suddenly raised her hand and rubbed her face. Her stiff face gradually softened under the rubbing. She didn't forget to complain and spit: "Teacher, sometimes I really want to call the police when I hear you talk."
If she died, Sigma's obsession would burn everything around her, so wouldn't it be fine if she was alive? Apart from anything else, Chijiang Nayue's life was very strong... That was enough.
"It makes me sad to hear you say that, Xiaohong. Aren't you a policeman yourself?" Dazai Osamu said with an innocent face.
Dazai Osamu did not express any opinion on Akae Nazuki's idea. He just took over the temporary supervision of Sigma when Akae Nazuki was unable to handle everything.
The tacit understanding between master and disciple is always reflected in such strange places.
"That sounds even worse, doesn't it?" Chi Jiang Na Yue curled her lips and complained mercilessly, "You adult with a bad sexual fetish!"
As she said this, she did not forget to make a 'cover your ears' gesture to Sigma, who was actually four years older than her. Thanks to the fact that she had been living in the hands of Dazai Osamu during this period (?), Sigma understood the gesture and did as she was told in a daze.
Dazai Osamu, who witnessed everything, said: "Ha... No way, Xiaohong, are you really raising him as a child?"
"Same here, you childish teacher who is trying to learn how to speak from another world."
"No." Dazai raised his eyebrows leisurely and deliberately said in a more aggressive tone, "I am now a young and beautiful 20-3 years old, five years younger than you."
This is also what makes Akae Nayue depressed - the time difference before the two worlds merged was too big, and she traveled back and forth between the two worlds many times, causing her age to change particularly quickly in the eyes of people in Yokohama. She was just picked up by Dazai Osamu seven years ago, and seven years later she seemed to have grown to 28 years old as if she had been forced to mature.
What can she do? She has no control over the twenty years she has lived in Tokyo.
But at least in front of Dazai Osamu, she would not show her depression in this regard, so Sigma immediately saw the beautiful Miss Akae smiling brightly, and her eyes seemed to be full of stars and little flowers.
"Hey~" Miss Akae held up Dazai Osamu's hands expectantly, "Then can you call me brother? Now you can call me sister, I don't mind and I'm not picky!"
Use magic to fight magic - no, use rogues to fight rogues!
Akae Nazuki was not used to this kind of Dazai Osamu. She was more familiar with the Dazai Osamu who lived in the port mafia. But now she can act opposite this kind of Dazai Osamu very skillfully and she enjoys it.
The teacher is an important person to her, someone who is incomparable to anyone else. She is of course very satisfied to see a relaxed, natural and genuine smile on the teacher's face.
A man as kind-hearted as Dazai Osamu is completely immune to Miss Akae's starry eyes. He doesn't even mind having "intimate contact" with Miss Akae in front of everyone, even though he always says that he has no interest in men. But special cases like Akae Nazuki and Oda Sakunosuke are of course different, as one is his own child and the other is his best friend.
However, when Dazai Osamu looked at the face in front of him, he suddenly remembered that his own child in the next world had just performed a play for him that made him feel complicated after not seeing it for a long time.
He could even hear Xiaohong's voice reproducing his lines to fool people.
“I can’t believe it.” Dazai Osamu sighed in a fake voice, “That idiot Chuuya actually thought that I was the one who made you a bad person, when it’s obvious that you learned bad things outside by yourself.”
"Teacher Chuuya was just telling the truth." Akae Nayue was very self-aware. She said with a smile, "I am just a student who has surpassed my teacher. You're welcome?"
Sigma, who had been listening until now, showed a stomachache expression again.
He was the one who had spent a whole year investigating Akae Nazuki all over the world, and he knew his blood relative's true character better than most people...but, after spending such a long time with Dazai Osamu, Sigma now felt from the bottom of his heart that Akae Nazuki's character was really not that difficult to accept.
My brother can't possibly tease him more than Mr. Dazai, right?!
"Hmm? Come to think of it, Xiaoxi came to see me, right?" Chijiang Nayue naturally let go of the teacher's hand, turned to look at Sigma, and asked in a normal tone.
It was as if she was just an ordinary sister who cared about her younger brother.
Sigma pursed his lips with mixed feelings, feeling a little uncomfortable: "Yeah."
Although I really like this brother, his personality makes it impossible for him to get along with his family like an ordinary brother... After all, he never had a family before.
Akae Nazuki didn't mind at all and patted the head that looked like a double-colored ice cream, then leaned over and gave a big sister hug - she learned this trick from Chisuka. Last time, Chisuka came to Tokyo during her vacation at Yokohama Police Station. As soon as she opened the door of their house, she gave her brother, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, a huge hug...
Although afterwards, she punched him on the head mercilessly under Kenji's moved gaze, and started to teach her own brother a lesson.
"Good boy, good boy. Then just come home with me after we get off the bus. Xiaoxi can also stay at my place directly, is that okay? Your room has been cleaned up?" Chijiang Nayue, in a good mood, began to coax the child.
How can a four-year-old not be considered a child at heart?
Sigma is also one of her responsibilities, especially since both Sigma and she are book-created people, and are the only real blood relatives in this world. She did not explain this identity entanglement to her friends, but also said that Sigma is indeed her younger brother.
So since they are all younger brothers, and since Chijiang Nayue specially registered Sigma, who was still an illegal resident four years after his birth, then having one more room in the house is not a big deal. Anyway, their family practices taking turns to do housework, and under the premise of the system of sharing with younger brothers, having more younger brothers is not a bad thing.
Just like what Akae said to Furutani Rei before, Sigma had no objection to his brother's (sister's) arrangement and seemed very happy about it.
"You really are able to handle this with ease, my dear Xiaohong." Dazai Osamu sighed in an ambiguous tone.
"We are the same, dear teacher." Miss Akae stuck out her tongue at him.
Dazai Osamu stared at her for a few seconds and threw the bag in his hand towards her.
"I'll let you go this time, Yue Jun." The black-hearted former leader said with regret, "Go and change. I'll take Sigma Jun away first."
Chijiang Nayue looked down and saw that there was a set of men's clothes in the bag.
But she still complained: "So it's fine if you learn from other worlds, but there's no need to learn what Mr. Mori said..."
