20 And on the twentieth day

"Hello, what do you need?"

"Can you give me two chicken fries combo?"

The male waiter at the fast food restaurant subconsciously lowered his head in the direction of the voice, and saw two children in civilian clothes standing in front of the ordering table, looking up at him.

The two children looked like brothers, and both had hair as black as Toba Jade, one straight and the other slightly curly; There is a faint sense of aristocratic reserve.

But there is nothing else like that, probably one is like a father, and the other is more like a mother.

Observing customers during work has almost become a professional habit of waiters. He quickly operated the ordering system, helping the two little guests order good meals, pick up the meals, and then hand them over to each other without any delay.

Yu Guangmu sent the two people to find a corner with the dinner plate and sit down, and the next guest also greeted him, he immediately withdrew his gaze and greeted him with a smile.

Osamu Dazai glanced around vaguely, and after confirming that there was no problem, he withdrew his gaze.

Ichinose Yuma sat down, looked at the noisy streets, and muttered in a voice that he could only hear, "What, it's really modern." I thought the background of the game would be a little bit further afield......"

It made him a little trance-like, and he even thought that he had returned to the real world for a while.

It's no wonder he said this, after all, there were almost no electronic devices in the Tsushima family's old mansion, and the tradition was so old-fashioned that Yuma mistakenly thought that some of the background he had entered was at least from the last era.

The feather weaving I wore before was really eye-catching, not to mention that it also had the Tsushima family crest printed on it, as if I was afraid that others would not recognize it. So the first thing they did was to find a shop and buy casual clothes. When the time comes, just throw away the casual clothes and change back to the hidden kimono.

Is this what the rich young master feels, and he doesn't feel distressed at all when he spends money. When will he be able to slap the 10,000 yuan bill on the table in reality like in the game, and say "don't look for it" domineeringly, it's super handsome when you think about it.

Yuma Ichinose, who is used to being a civilian, can't help but fantasize a little in his heart.

Then his attention was drawn to the food in front of him.

The chicken nuggets are fried just right, the puff pastry on the outside is golden in the light of the chandelier, and the light-colored grease drips down with gravity on the bottom of the pad paper, glowing with a faint light, which makes people can't help but move their appetites.

The water vapor in the air condenses into crystal water droplets on the wall of the Coke glass, slowly slides down, and you can hear the crisp sound of the ice cubes in the cup hitting each other and the bubbles popping with a slight shake, which is refreshing to hear.

Yuma Ichinose looked at the fat house happy water and chicken fries in front of him, and silently shed tears called happiness in his heart.

Although the chefs hired by the Tsushima family are all professional-level and the rice is exquisite and delicious, what he misses most is these high-calorie unhealthy junk food.

Sure enough, fried chicken and cola are the justice of the otaku!

Even though he tried to restrain himself, the happiness on his face could not be concealed.

Osamu Dazai watched Yuma squint his eyes and enjoy the food, and he was curious, and he tasted it too. However, he didn't think it was so delicious, it was just a common taste.

If Yuma hears this, he will probably yell at him, 'Farewell to the guy who doesn't know the beauty of Coke'!

Compared to Coke, Yu's expression looks more "delicious".

Osamu Dazai thought as he lowered his eyelashes to block the emotions in his pupils and gently sucked his cola through a straw.

"Where do you want to go next?" Ichinose Yuma shook his leg and asked in a low voice.

"I don't know where to go, because I rarely come out before."

"Huh? Haven't you always lived outside before, haven't you come out to play? ”

Osamu Dazai smiled, which was a tacit acquiescence.

Ichinose Yuma couldn't help but slurp. It's hard to imagine what kind of life this guy had when he was a child.

So the question of where to play was thrown back to Yuma. For Yuma, who also rarely goes out, it is also a difficult problem worth pondering.

There was silence at the table for a while, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

After a moment, Yuma asked tentatively:

"Do you know the arcade?"

"Huh? I guess I know, but ......."

"Let's go to the arcade then."

He slapped the table and decided the proposal.

Osamu Dazai was silent for a moment, his tone eerie.

"Brother, you don't want to go to the video game city, right?"

Ichinose looked away.

……

This small pair, on another level, has successfully attracted the quiet attention of the surrounding passers-by.

"It seems to be a brother...""My brother is very dependent on my brother." "Both of them are cute..."

"Where's the arcade......

Their voices were unknown to Yuu Isse, who just muttered as they looked around.

It's so troublesome to not have a mobile phone and not be able to search for maps online.

Unconsciously, they went further and further away, gradually deviating from the lively commercial street, and there were fewer passers-by around.

Osamu Dazai was standing quietly beside Yuma, but when he saw a figure passing by in the alley, he disappeared in the blink of an eye. He narrowed his eyes and quietly took Yuma's hand,

"Brother, let's take a look over there."

"Oh, what a ......"

Yuma was about to nod his head when a scream suddenly sounded in his ears, faintly suggesting that it might just be his own auditory hallucination. The voice came from a nearby alley, and it was as if someone had cut its throat abruptly.

Ichinose Yuma subconsciously stopped. He tilted his head slightly—it was just a narrow corridor between the buildings, it was daylight, but there was no light to be seen, and the darkness in the depths was like that of a hungry beast, staring at the prey that was about to be devoured by him.

Not a delusion, not an auditory hallucination.

What's going on over there?

【Drop】

【Open Side Quest (B-) - "Voices in the Alley"]

Ichinose Yuma's heart moved slightly, and the curiosity in his heart was about to move, encouraging him to explore. He thought for a moment and said, "Dazai, you wait here for me first, and I'll take a look and come back." ”

"Brother—"

Osamu Dazai hurriedly stretched out his hand, but he grabbed it, and the soft fabric slipped from his fingertips, and his chest instantly emptied. The iris-colored eyes darkened.

He stood still, not knowing what he was thinking.

Tick, tick.

The old steel pipe cracked somewhere, and the muddy water seeped down from there. The crisp sound of water droplets falling was amplified several times over in the silent alley, irritating the nerves and forcing them to focus on their surroundings.

This eerie atmosphere made Ichinose Yuma swallow and feel like he was in some kind of haunted house dungeon.

However, he regretted it in the next second, this might as well be a copy of the haunted house - at least the things in the haunted house are fake, and the things in front of him are so real that people want to vomit.

The flesh, which could no longer be called humanoid, was torn apart, as if it had been cut and torn by something sharp, and it could barely distinguish the limbs of a human being. The pungent smell of rust runs down the nasal cavity and into the brain, and the red imprints on the retina, accentuating the contrast with the surrounding black. The fear of danger engraved in his DNA made his whole body stiff and unable to move.

【Drop】

[The system is intervening in the adjustment——]

[Some sensory sensitivity has been reduced, [Forced Cooling*] is on.] If the shield mode is not enabled, is it enabled? 】

【…… No]

The brain suddenly becomes clear and can rethink. Ichinose Yuma's expression relaxed slightly, and he still showed an expression of disgust and disgust at the blurred picture of flesh and blood on the ground.

But now he still has the heart to complain.

"Whew...... With such a bloody picture, I feel like the PTA (Parent-Teacher Association) will protest. ”

Ichinose Yuma thought that the hidden mission would be as gentle as Dazai before, but he didn't expect such an exciting scene to pop up suddenly.

This time, it has evolved from simulation to horror and suspense.

Yuma Ichinose is quite a hard worker with this type of game.

"Brother?"

The familiar male voice sounded from behind, startling Yuma Ichinose. When I turned around, I saw Osamu Dazai's familiar face, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Didn't I make you wait over there!"

"I came here because I was worried about my brother." Osamu Dazai said with a smile, but his eyes were on the pile of red pieces of meat behind him, "What's that?" ”

"Huh? It's ......."

Ichinose Yuma came back to his senses and realized that it didn't seem good for a child to see such a bloody picture, and immediately used his body as a screen in front of him.

"Don't look, uh, it's a bad thing. Let's hurry up. ”

He nudged Dazai's shoulder, trying to urge him to leave. The footsteps of a third person echoed in the dark alley, and the two boys instantly tensed their nerves and looked vigilantly at the source of the footsteps.

"Ah, it's two little children. I'm still thinking about what I'm going to do if I find out...... Well, just dispose of it. ”

The man was wearing a sweatshirt that could be seen everywhere, and the shadow cast by the hood blocked the small half of his face, but he could see his sunken eye sockets, and he looked like an addict.

Depend on.

He subconsciously stood in front of Osamu Dazai.

Osamu Dazai looked at Yuma Ichinose's shoulders in front of him, which were not very broad, and opened his mouth slightly, but he didn't say anything, just grabbed the fabric of the other party's cuffs.

His actions made Ichinose Yuma mistakenly think he was nervous, but now he didn't have time to take care of the other party.

“…… The two of us won't say anything, and we'll act like we've never been here. ”

"Hmm. You look calm and deserve praise. ”

The man smiled and continued.

"But there's one more thing I believe in, and that's 'The dead keep secrets forever.'"
