We are wandering
Damn it! I will never admit that this is caused by me not eating well and having malnutrition.
He is even pickier about food than I am!
How come you grow so fast!
What if he grows very tall in the future and I am only 1.5 meters tall?
...No, right? You'll be laughed at, right? You'll definitely be laughed at!
The average height in Japan is a cause for concern. Although I have excellent genes from the Tsushima family, I still feel deeply resistant.
Actually, I don’t have much of an opinion about my height. Being short has its advantages, and being tall has its troubles. I’m open to that.
But if there is a member of the opposite sex like Dazai...brother around, it will be very annoying if he keeps teasing me about my height.

We were all children, we had no proof to buy tickets, and no adults to accompany us.
So, inevitably, we can only use the most traditional way to rush - walking.
Aomori is more than 700 kilometers away from Yokohama, and we are not in a hurry. After all, my eldest sister is at home to help us bear the pressure.
All you need to do is walk a little further away from the Tsushima family at the beginning.
The old man in the shop gave us a map. It's not that I can't ask the wind, but most winds can't cross more than 700 kilometers to reach us.
So naturally they don't know how to get to Yokohama.
Having a map really helped a lot, she is worthy of being our big sister.
On the first day, we walked all day. Because of me, we didn't walk very far, only about twenty kilometers.
This is the result after I tried my best.
Otherwise, I will be sore all over and unable to walk tomorrow.
In order to avoid being found by the Tsushima family, we chose to walk in crowded or deserted places along the way today.
The money that the elder sister gave us must have been carefully calculated, and it was just enough for us to go to Yokohama and still have some money left over. I say again, she is worthy of being the elder sister.
"I'm hungry." I stopped and said to Dazai Osamu.
His eyes scanned the convenience store nearby and he walked in. A moment later, the guy came out with two rice balls and two bags of snacks that the waitress had given him as a gift.
"Okay." He gave me half.
I took the food from his hand and said to him mercilessly, "You are a bastard who plays with women's feelings."
He and I are both very tired now, and the words we said were weak and "You can go if you want."
Of course I know that because of our image and appearance, as long as we act a little pitiful, few people can refuse us.
"But we are rich, right?"
He glanced at the snacks in our hands with disinterest and said, "Alas, there's nothing we can do about it. It's not my fault that I'm handsome."
I have no comment on this.
"What should we do tonight? Should we continue walking or sleep here?"
"Have you looked here?"
"Let's go over there and take a look..."
There are people talking. They are from the Tsushima family. They are coming over here!
What should I do? What should I do? Isn't my elder sister helping at home? Why did they come here anyway?
Did something happen to my elder sister? No, it shouldn't be like that. Shouldn't my elder sister have a lot of power now?
…
At this moment, thousands of thoughts flashed through my mind and I couldn't move for a moment.
Dazai Osamu seemed much calmer than I was. He took my hand and led me into an alley.
It was so confusing that even I felt dizzy following him.
I calmed myself down, looked up at Dazai Osamu's profile, and my heart gradually calmed down.
Now is not the time for me to panic. We have been walking for a whole day. If we cannot gain victory on the trail, we can only pray that the people of the Tsushima family are a little blind and cannot see us.
We were running at full speed, and the people from the Tsushima family were behind us. They hadn't discovered us yet, but because of the wind, I discovered their traces before them.
Dazai Osamu saw the look on my face and took me away without hesitation.
But he didn't know which was the easiest way to get away from the Tsushima family.
The two of us ran all the way into a small woods.
I half-climbed on the tree trunk, feeling that I had no strength left and my whole body ached. "I can't do it anymore. I'll just stay here. They can't catch up with me."
After hearing what I said, Dazai Osamu looked around warily, and then suddenly collapsed to the ground like a deflated balloon.
His sudden movement scared me. "What's wrong with you?"
"It's so scary, π_π, Rong, so scary, I almost thought we were going to be caught, wuwuwu..."
"...Dazai, shall we rest here tonight?"
Can our fear be transferred? Seeing him like this, I felt calmer.
He seemed to be changing his expression, and instantly stopped crying. "No, Rong, we have to keep going. It's not safe here."
He pointed out the scratches on the tree and some footprints at the foot of the tree.
"This is a danger that does not belong to humans."
I took a step forward in silence.
…Although I don’t want to hold back, the inevitable problem has arisen—I can’t move forward at all.
Not to mention me, even Dazai Osamu looked exhausted.
"Let's leave here first. It should be enough to walk about three or four hundred meters." Dazai Osamu squatted down.
I pursed my lips and reluctantly lay on top of him.
He walked in silence, using the moonlight to identify the path beneath his feet, and the fallen leaves in the forest made a rustling sound under his feet.
If only I were smaller now, I would be lighter and Dazai...my brother wouldn't be such a burden.
My brother noticed my low voice and said, "Well, Rong, do you want to hear a story? I have a very interesting story..."
He cleared his throat and prepared to tell me a story.
"Shut up, I'm past the age where I need stories to comfort me."
"Hahaha, I get it, I get it. Rong is already a big kid and doesn't need stories anymore."
His face changed. "But I feel I need to be distracted by the story."
I've never heard a good story before. He was just making things difficult for me.
"...once upon a time there was a match. One day, it felt its head itchy, so it kept scratching it...and then it set itself on fire."
"…Do you feel it's a bit cold today?"
“I don’t think so.”
I buried my head in his neck and whispered "Thank you, brother."
Regardless of whether he fulfilled his promise and took me away from the Tsushima family, or he is carrying me on his back now.

Rong is very small, which makes people wonder if there is a two-year age difference between them.
The whole person lay on Dazai Osamu's back as if he had no bones, reminding people of the koala in the picture book that his father gave him.
I guess the current appearance of Velvet is similar to that of a koala hugging a tree, right?
"Thank you, brother."
Very quietly, very quietly, as if to avoid being noticed, but because it was right next to my ear, it was still heard.
Dazai paused, then continued as normal.
He wasn't very good at accepting pure kindness from others, but Dazai Suzu's thanks were still within his acceptable range.
After all, as long as he pretended not to hear, no one would know that he heard it.
Besides, there was only one person there, and he was a little sleepy, so he was not very uncomfortable.
Well, to round it off, it's just him.
So Dazai Osamu relaxed a little.
"Phew, this is really a rare gift."
I guess I will rarely hear such thanks from you again.
Thinking of this, Dazai Osamu couldn't help but feel jealous. Why could Rong say "thank you" so frankly to others, but be so hesitant around him?
"Really..." As a brother, it's hard for me to even hear my sister say thank you.

The sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves and falls on the velvety little face.
I felt uncomfortable, so I subconsciously moved to a softer place next to me. I don't know who helped me block the sunlight. I was very satisfied and decided to continue sleeping.
Dazai Osamu woke up when the silkworm started to move. There was nothing he could do. His sleep was shallow to begin with, and this place was not one he was familiar with, so he basically could not fall asleep.
It’s so pitiful. It’s so pitiful.
Dazai Osamu couldn't help but feel sorry for himself in his heart, and then he reached out his hand to block the sunlight for Wool.
Dazai Rong's eyelashes trembled slightly, he opened his eyes, accidentally saw a pair of hands, and closed them again.
I got up suddenly and saw Dazai Osamu's hand.
I opened my eyes again, and sure enough, I no longer saw Dazai Osamu's hand blocking my way.
I turned my head and saw my brother looking at me again.
I paused for a few seconds.
...Who is this person?
Oh, it’s my brother. His current name should be Dazai Osamu.
I helped him remove the leaves from his hair.
Look at his face again, wow, it's dirty.
"Brother, you look so dirty."
His expression showed signs of cracking, but he said with a nonchalant look, "There's nothing we can do about it."
"oh."
"Do you want to sleep a little longer? I can go get breakfast." I asked him, because the dark circles under his eyes compared to his appearance at Tsushima's house were really unbearable to look at.
I don't want anyone to think I'm abusing him.
"OK."
He agreed quite quickly.
We are now on the outskirts of the woods, and we can see most houses within a few steps.
It should be a small village with only a few households.
I secretly took two dried fish they were drying, placed the money on their windowsill according to the market price, and weighed down the money with stones to prevent it from being blown away by the wind.
——So exciting.
I returned to my brother with the fish, and was met with silence from him.
"This fish...tell me, how are we going to eat it?"
“…eat it raw.”
It was impossible to eat it raw, so my brother took me to a store to sell the fish and exchange it for bread that could be eaten directly.
After seeing the bread, my brother decided to buy a few more. Maybe he decided to walk in places with fewer people for the next few days.
