Well, it’s the tenth day since Ango’s absence. I miss him.

After a while, Dazai sat up in a straight position.

So, let’s go find Ango now!!

Dazai thought.

Thinking this, he did just that.

The clothes that Shibuzawa Ryuhiko had made before were completely used as padding by him. They were crumpled and spread on the ground, and there was no trace of their original appearance.

I have washed the clothes I wore when I first came here, and now they look wearable.

So Dazai is still wearing the same clothes he wore when he first arrived.

Lu Qi, who was hiding in the chief's shell, sighed. From the first time he traveled through time to now, the experience of this chief's shell since it came here was the richest and most tragic he had ever seen.

Who would have thought that he had been here for fifteen days and still had no clothes to wear?

Before, he would usually meet a noble person who would pick him up right after he got off the boat, and then he would have no worries about food and drink.

However, this leader is different. He is extremely independent. Not only has he not found a shit shoveler to clean up his mess, but he also has no clothes to wear. He goes out every day to steal bamboo shoots from people's wallets.

But Lu Qi was still confused.

It’s fine that this leader can’t steal Shunsen Owl’s wallet - after all, he has made him the director of an orphanage, but he can also steal Chuuya’s wallet!

Ahem, I'm sorry Chuuya, but it's something that Zai can do, no, it's something that he has already done.

Even if things don't go smoothly, Ango Sakaguchi once said that he could give his money to Zai temporarily to live on. This was something Ango Sakaguchi offered on his own initiative.

But it was no use, Dazai didn't accept it and changed the subject by making some joke.

Lu Qi frowned.

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that this pig was deliberately keeping a distance from others.

It was the same with Sakaguchi Ango and Edogawa Ranpo.

Since coming here, he has deliberately distanced himself from the only two people who showed kindness to him...but why?

If you said it was Ōba Yozo, he could still barely believe the saying “even cowards can be hurt by happiness”, but come on, that’s Dazai Osamu.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Dazai Osamu is a brave man. He is a coward by nature, but he doesn't deliberately maintain the so-called "safe social" relationship between people. He looks like a very cheerful and familiar guy.

Perhaps just like what the three-time writer Dazai Osamu said in "No Longer Human", through the mouth of Ōba Yozo, he learned how to pretend to be a gangster in social situations and talk about art in the store. Dazai Osamu also only knows how to pretend.

But if you get familiar with him, and suddenly look into it one day, you will find that you don’t understand him.

Yes, even though you know his job, know that he does a lot of annoying things every day, and know that his hobby is suicide.

But when you really look into it, you will find that you actually don't understand him at all.

You don't know what he's thinking, you don't know what his plans are, and you don't even know where he lives.

This is the real gap between Dazai Osamu and others.

This membrane is usually invisible. Under normal circumstances, you will not notice this so-called membrane, but this Dazai is different. His membrane is clearly visible, so distinct that anyone who tries to approach him can notice it.

Stay away from me.

This Dazai seems to be saying this.
