The outside world was completely silent, with the occasional melodious and loud cicada chirping from one or two cicadas. The swaying shadows of the trees blocked out the moonlight.
A not-so-bright crescent moon hangs in the sky, casting a silvery light on the world.
The leaders of all the major organizations gathered together, and a gloomy black-haired young man sat steadily in the first seat.
On his right, Natsume Soseki was sitting in his seat in a gentleman's suit, staring thoughtfully at Dazai Osamu who was sitting at the first seat.
The reason why he was here today was because he received an invitation letter from Dazai Osamu, which was passed on to him by Mori Ogai.
Natsume Soseki was the teacher of Mori Ogai and Fukuzawa Yokichi, and he was also the one who proposed the "three-minute concept" method.
He usually appears in public as a calico cat and does not often show off in human form.
This also resulted in his existence being almost just a legend, with almost no one knowing what he looked like and no one being able to find him.
As a cat, he doesn't often hold a mobile phone.
The reason why he was able to receive the invitation letter handed over by Mori Ogai so quickly this time was entirely because he was basking in the sun on a nearby tree when Mori Ogai and Fukuzawa Noriyoshi received the invitation letter.
After seeing the invitation letter, he immediately jumped down from the tree and took a look around the kendo gym run by Mori Ogai and Fukuzawa Noriyoshi.
After hearing that Mori Ouwai had sent him an invitation letter, he found a place to recover and went there.
After seeing the contents of the invitation letter, he immediately decided to come over.
Dazai Osamu didn't know how Natsume Soseki received the invitation letter, he assumed that Natsume Soseki had been paying attention to Mori Osamu and the others.
At this moment, he was hiding in the shadows where the light could not reach, looking at the man who proposed the "Three Quarters Concept" without any expression.
This venerable old man was wearing a brown gentleman's suit. The right half of his face was tightly covered by his brown hair, revealing his sharp amber eyes on the left.
Those eyes were filled with the wisdom that time has bestowed upon an elder, as well as the unyielding strength of a young person.
Although he has two particularly funny mustaches on his face, he is a very charismatic person.
Natsume Soseki's charm comes from his various perceptions of the world, and also from the temperament that remains in him after years of sedimentation.
He wore a black bowler hat, which held down his messy short hair of different colors at the back of his head.
His eyes fell on the little bit of hair that was slightly exposed on both sides of Natsume Soseki.
The color of his hair reminded Dazai Osamu of the calico cat in the Lupin bar.
The color of his hair is exactly the same as the calico cat's fur.
However, Dazai Osamu did not connect Natsume Soseki with the calico cat.
Because according to another experience of mine, the calico cat later went to the home of the secretary of the president of the Armed Detective Agency to eat and drink for free.
Dazai Osamu felt that Natsume Soseki, who proposed the three-quarter concept and was taught by Mori Ogai and Fukuzawa Yokichi, would not do such an immoral thing.
After all, not everyone is Dazai Osamu.
Being stared at by those eyes, Dazai Osamu blinked. Although a myriad of thoughts were running through his mind, in reality only a few seconds had passed.
So in Natsume Soseki's opinion, Dazai just stared at him expressionlessly for a few seconds, and then said, "I guess everyone has seen the document."
"I wonder what you think?" the young man with ivy eyes asked straight to the point.
“…”
The meeting ended quickly because everyone present was not stupid. On the contrary, they were all smart people.
Even someone as upright as Fukuzawa Yoshikichi could join in the conversation.
