We arrived at Yokohama
After a week of "express delivery", we successfully arrived near Yokohama.
There are no mountains in Yokohama! Although we can go in at night, why? We are not in a hurry.
The money my elder sister gave us was enough for our travel expenses for one and a half months, and we only used about one sixth of it.
The remaining money is enough for us to spend for a long time!
There was a summer festival being held nearby, and it was the first time for my brother and I to go out, so everything we saw was new to us.
In fact, there was no such summer festival after the war, but the families of the soldiers who returned home felt that they needed such an opportunity to relax.
So this summer festival was still held.
Because of this, we can see many people with bandages, people with missing arms and legs, people without noses or eyes at the summer festival...
Someone laughed loudly at his childhood friend, the wolf, and then suddenly burst into tears while laughing, sobbing uncontrollably.
The scene was silent.
The man seemed to remember the real reason for holding the summer festival, and forced a smile, then pulled his friend who was missing a leg and an arm to a mask stall.
Oh, and he's missing an eye.

I dragged my brother to buy an apple candy...it was pretty good.
"Do you want to try it?"
He leaned his head over and pretended to bite my candy apple.
I held the thing a little further away.
"What are you doing? How can I eat if you eat it?"
He was stunned. "Aren't we brother and sister?"
"It's dirty... Others are not allowed to eat what I've eaten, and I can't eat what others have eaten. If you want to eat other people's saliva, or if others want to eat yours, I won't stop it. Anyway, just don't get involved with me."
The corners of his mouth kept twitching. "...How come I didn't know you had a kosher fetish?"
I frowned, looked at my apple candy, then looked at him. "This isn't about Kosher... Don't you think this is disgusting? Or do you have no money?"
Dazai Osamu: ...
He went to buy an apple candy and took a vengeful bite of it.
"Hum" ×2
I saw someone catching goldfish, so I excitedly dragged my brother to go and take a look.
After watching for a while, I leaned over to his ear and asked, "Do you want to try it?"
He also whispered in my ear, "Why don't you go?"
I whispered again, "I want to see how you play so I can know if this game is difficult or not."
My brother rolled his eyes and went to exchange items with the stall owner.
Soon, he came back.
The first time, he failed unsurprisingly, which was within our expectations because it was the first time, so anything could happen.
The second time, he succeeded.
I was quite proud, after all, the uncle just now tried for a long time but failed to catch anything.
…
He came back with a bag of fish.
I patted his shoulder and said, "Not bad, not bad! Brother, you have successfully won the prize. I will praise you highly."
"Oh, then my lord, do you want to give it a try?" He looked at me nervously.
"Oh, General, your provocation has no effect on me. My lord is as calm as water, so I will never be provoked by you."
He shrugged in boredom.
We ate and played along the way. Although we didn't have much to say to each other, the atmosphere was good.
I would rather say that I really like this kind of silent yet tacit understanding between us.
I pulled my brother's sleeve to show him the crepes on the street.
He glanced at it nonchalantly. "You can't eat it! Don't talk to me about a second stomach. You can't eat it."
I looked up at him and said, "You can help, right?"
He poked my head hard. "Don't you dislike me?"
"That's different, crepes can be eaten with a spoon and fork."
Dazai Osamu: ...
"Okay, go buy it."
At the end, he stopped and looked at the sunset.
"Would you like to go see the fireworks?"
"Does that even need asking?"
He chuckled. "That's true... fireworks are more dazzling than fire..."
He took the lead and led me to the hillside.
Yes, there are fireworks at this summer festival. Although it’s a bit rushed, we still have to set off fireworks.
Smart people are usually very useful at times like this. Dazai Osamu led me through many twists and turns and found a place with a very good view.
By the way, at this time, mosquitoes are still annoying people with their buzzing sounds, which is so annoying.
My Feng is a must-have at home, and I won't accept any rebuttal.
The wind on Dazai Osamu's neck twisted unwillingly.
"Fluffy~"
"Don't get sick, I'll help you drive away the mosquitoes."
"hey-hey."
*
It was pitch black at night and I couldn't see anything. I even suspected that Dazai Osamu had come to the wrong place. After all, there was no one here.
"Hey, Dazai, why can't you see the fireworks?"
"It's impossible not to see it, are you stupid? It's just that now is not the right time."
I suddenly became serious, "Don't call me stupid. If you say that too much, I might really become stupid."
"Is there such a saying?"
I said seriously, "No, but I'm afraid you might be right."
Dazai Osamu: ...
"OK."
"biu——"
With a shrill roar that broke through the night sky, fireworks began to be set off.
Like flowers blooming in a short period of time, like miracles that can be touched with just a stretch of the hand.
My brother's eyes were illuminated, and the dazzling fireworks also left a fleeting flash of light in his eyes.
His eyes are like gems, crystal clear.
The wind blew towards us, lifting our hair.
Dazai Rong: "One third of the money has been used up."
Dazai Osamu: "Let's find a hotel and sleep today."
Dazai Suzu: “No ID.”
Dazai Osamu: "You won't need that if you go to Yokohama."
*
So we walked for another half an hour to Yokohama.
As for the small fish caught by Dazai Osamu, they all died because he accidentally broke the bag.
Dazai Osamu cried his eyes out, "My trophy! This was the first time I got a trophy! Why did I die?"
I put the little fish into a small canal, and in my heart I wished them a good death.
*
"Brother, the wind said that Yokohama is not peaceful."
Dazai Osamu's expression gradually became cold and he turned to look at me.
I continued, "Are we going to die?"
The elder brother was silent for a long time. "Rong, we will all die. The only difference is when we die. Even if we don't go to Yokohama, at this time, such things are happening everywhere."
Yokohama was truly the best place we could have chosen for two runaway kids.
Yokohama, please don't make me dislike you.
*
We quickly found a hotel in Yokohama, a safer area.
How do you know the public security is good?
You can tell by listening to where the woodcutter sounds are less frequent.
There's something special about this store. Just look at the security and you'll know they're all murderers.
The hotel manager didn't care about our ID, as long as we paid enough money, which seemed to be consistent with the words behind him.
"Integrity management" is very suitable.
Of course the hotel doesn’t use tatami, but soft beds!
So comfortable!
I buried my face in the bed.
My brother was more cautious and just sat aside.
I feel that if my brother hadn't taken me with him, I would have ended up being as useless as I am.
"Brother, it's so soft..."
After a quick examination, he breathed a sigh of relief and followed my example by throwing himself down on the bed.
…
…
I pulled him up, and as expected, his face was purple.
Facing my gaze, he laughed and said, "It would be a shame not to make good use of such a soft bed."
This is not the kind of use!
I lay flat on the bed. "Where are we going tomorrow?"
He said calmly, "I don't know."
We have no goals, just to stay alive.
Dazai Osamu was the same as me. Although he wanted to die, he hated pain. If he didn't want to die of hunger in pain, he had to go find a job with me.
"Why don't we just find a kind person to scam us?"
He and I came to a place where, yeah, neither of us wanted to work.
but
"Looking for kind people in Yokohama?"
Not to mention that there are very few such people in other places, are the kind-hearted people found here really "kind-hearted people"?
He blinked and looked at the ceiling. "Why don't you try it and find out?"
I don't know whether he was talking about whether there were any kind-hearted people or whether he could succeed in scamming someone.
*
Dazai Osamu was walking among the crowd, and I followed closely behind him ten steps.
At one point, he "accidentally" bumped into the calf of a social worker.
He was knocked to the ground.
I hurried over and held him, "Brother!" I was heartbroken and full of emotions, but it was not enough. I had not met my brother's request yesterday.
So I pinched myself and tears started flowing.
I couldn't stop crying.
Because I remembered that I didn't know how to use wind to drive away mosquitoes before watching the fireworks, which caused my brother and I to be bitten badly by mosquitoes.
When my brother saw how hard I was crying, he also started crying, even harder than I was.
The office worker was stunned. "No, no, stop crying!"
He turned to the people around him and said, "You need to testify for me that I didn't hit them at all."
But unfortunately, the world is cold and people around us are silent. Social animals have no choice but to hand over the money to us under the gaze of others.
The success this time might not have been possible without the help of the bandage on my brother’s body.
On the one hand, that person was also afraid that my brother’s injuries were real. If he took us to the hospital, we would have to pay high medical bills, which would not be worth it.
On the other hand, we cried really hard.
He might not be unaware that we were scamming people. Our clothes were dusty and I cried as soon as I said I would. In short, my acting was fake.
What will happen if I call the police?
In this world, even if you call the police, people will probably think you are an orphan whose parents died in the war.
After getting the money, Dazai Osamu happily took me to buy lunch, where we met a boy who was being scolded.
The store manager angrily yelled at the boy, "Why did you report the wrong order?"
"Did you forget again? This is the thirteenth time you've reported an error this week!"
The boy unconvincedly explained, "But that uncle obviously likes this dish more!"
