Yuma Ichinose was speechless for a while, and he held his forehead with a headache.

"When did you start?"

"Ah, from the day Yola left me." Osamu Dazai smiled, "Speaking of which, it's so heavy to sleep." As long as you fall asleep, no matter what the outside world says, there will be no reaction - just like the sleeping beauty in a fairy tale book. ”

But what he didn't tell Ichinose was that he had tried to hold the tip of the knife against Yuu's chest, and with a little force, it would pierce the skin and deep into the heart between the ribs.

The other party's eyes were still closed, his breathing was slow, and he was unaware of the imminent death.

When will it be discovered? Osamu Dazai thought nonchalantly, and the blade in his palm turned in a different direction. It looked like Yuma was holding the knife, and with a terrifying cold light, it was aimed at his head.

What does death look like?

I saw this guy crouching in the door every morning before, was it because he had been outside his room since the evening? It's like paranoia.

Yuma Ichinose couldn't help but feel numb in her scalp.

"But how did Yo suddenly wake up from his sleep today, it seems like the first time. Is something happening? Osamu Dazai tilted his head and asked curiously.

"It's none of your business!" Ichinose Yuma glared at Osamu Dazai, his face ugly, "You guy...... What do you mean by 'I know your secret' the other day? ”

"Literally. Are you sure you want me to say it outside, though? ”

Osamu Dazai smiled and looked at Yuma Ichinose's tense face. The latter gritted his teeth, flicked his sleeves and turned back to his room, but the shoji door was not closed.

He stood up, patted the dust on the hem of his shirt that wasn't there, and followed Yuma into the room, closing the door thoughtfully by the way. In the next second, Osamu Dazai was grabbed by the collar and pressed the ground behind him.

Yuma's anxiety a few days ago was vented at this moment.

Dazai's head also smashed on the tatami mat with the opponent's movements. The slightly curly black hair spreads out on the smoky green tatami mats like seaweed in deep water.

It doesn't hurt. Osamu Dazai thought. You really didn't use any force.

"Speaking of which, when you lie on your back on a tatami mat, you look at it as if the whole world has been turned upside down......"

He didn't look at Yuma's dark eyes that glittered with anger on his body, but just glanced around the room furnishings that he didn't know how many times he had seen.

The room is furnished to best reflect the owner's spiritual world. Even he had a few books scattered around the room.

And there was nothing in Yuu's room.

The alcoves used to hang calligraphy and paintings, or to add vases for flower arrangement, are empty. The room from small life to big one, but there are no furnishings and traces, and it is incredibly empty.

It seems that no one will notice that the owner disappears in the next second.

"The secret is—Yuu isn't from the Tsushima family."

"Tsk." Sure enough, this is the case.

The big stone in my heart before finally fell, and now I have a sense of relief that "it is really like this". Ichinose Yuma relaxed for some reason, and the hand holding the other's collar slowly loosened.

"Yuu doesn't look nervous."

"It's to be expected." Ichinose Yuma said angrily.

From the moment he knew about this identity, he guessed that this point would definitely become the ground at some point in time. Thunder exploded. Sure enough, this game routine did not exceed his expectations at all. Still, he was curious, "How did you find out?" ”

"Hmm...... Yu was also secretly inquiring about himself before, as well as his biological mother. ”

"However, Yuu's mother died a long time ago, and this is something that everyone, including yourself, knows, but why did you suddenly remember to inquire about it? Moreover, Yuu only searched for a while and then stopped, as if he was trying to determine something, or more precisely, to find the person concerned. ”

"You don't seem to have found it, though, and that's a relief. What is it that makes you nervous? So I guessed—"

"Is it about your own background?" ”

"It makes sense to keep this skepticism and think about it."

In fact, he also used some means to entrust others outside to help search for information. The family that can marry the Tsushima family will definitely not be a small family, and it should be quite easy to find - the information in hand is quite complete, and all the records are detailed, as if there is a living person standing in front of you - too perfect only makes it feel even more wrong.

"So you just guessed by reasoning? Most people don't associate that with that. Yuma Ichinose held his forehead.

Osamu Dazai blinked, and there was a hint of a smile in his voice.

"But if you want to prove it, it's very simple."

"So what?"

Yuma Ichinose put down the hand on his forehead, and his head calmed down as soon as Osamu Dazai began to speak.

He calmly stared into Osamu Dazai's eyes and said slowly.

"You don't seem to have any desire for the position of head of the house. Hope—of course this may just be a pretense you've put on to deceive me. Why didn't you tell the head of the house, and why did you choose to have a showdown with me now-"

Boom!

This time, it was his turn to enjoy the treatment that Osamu Dazai had just done. His head slammed into the tatami mat, hurting the back of his head and shoulder blades.

Ichinose Yuma inhaled in pain, and when he came back to his senses, he had been pinned to the ground by Osamu Dazai.

The black-haired boy knelt on either side of his waist, his arms propped up beside his face, his back to the moonlight outside the window, and his not very strong body still cast a haze on his head.

"Actually, what I said about 'Yu is not from the Tsushima family' actually has another meaning."

“…… What did you say? ”

"Do you still want to play stupid? You're really stupid, you must know that you can't hide it like this. ”

Hearing the mockery in the other party's words, the corners of Yuma's mouth twitched, and he subconsciously wanted to fight back, but he saw the other party's current expression and lost his voice.

Osamu Dazai giggled, with a sickly smile in his eyes, which was very different from the well-behaved and submissive appearance of weekdays. The soft curls drooped slightly due to the effect of gravity, and they were only a few feet away from the cheeks of the person under them.

The bloodless cheeks were now flushed with a faint flush as if drunk. Under the pale full moon outside the house, his face was even more beautiful, like a breathtaking ghost in a painting.

"Now, you...... Is it really "Yu Tsushima"? ”

Ichinose Yuma's eyes widened, and an inexplicable sense of fear swept through her body. The pupils suddenly constricted into a small dot, trembling slightly like a mouse falling into the mouth of a snake.

Seeing his reaction, Osamu Dazai sighed, and that sigh contained a thick malice like black mud in the abyss, stretching out his tentacles to wrap him.

"It's hard to change people's habits, especially from childhood to adulthood. For example, people who wear glasses for a long time will subconsciously touch their glasses even if their vision is restored. Because that's already part of the instinctive memory imprinted on the body. ”

"It's really strange that you don't care about power and money, but you say that you have to be the head of the family, as if this is a task you have to shoulder.

And when you look at them, there seems to be an invisible film in your eyes. Do you remember the last time you went out, obviously you were about to be killed by the other party, but there was no fear of death in your expression...... Is it because it's okay to die? Yuu never seemed to think of this as a real world. ”

"So, for you, is everything here just a game?"

If you really think of this place as a game, then gentleness and kindness are just a disguise you make, a fantasy of nothingness. But he knew that the other party's feelings for wanting to protect him at that time were from the bottom of his heart.

If everything is fake, there is no sadness; Those feelings are all true, which will make it even more painful.

Osamu Dazai's voice paused, and his voice suddenly became a little hoarse, and he said softly as if he was about to cry,

"Yoo...... It's too much. ”

Buzz –

Ichinose Yuma only felt that his head exploded in an instant, and the sharp metal roar was accompanied by the continuous sound of electronic snowflakes, and the sound did not appear in his ears, so even if he tried to cover his ears, it would be useless.

[Didi——]

【■■——■、■■■■——■■！ ■■■！ 】

【■■—■■■！ ■■！ 】

It's noisy, stop screaming, I already know it, bastard!

Yuma Ichinose's face was pale and her teeth crunched. He heard himself swallowing, his voice slightly hoarse from nervousness.

"What do you want to do?"

- "What do I want to do?"

Osamu Dazai was suddenly stunned, and his iris, which was originally full of gloom and darkness, was now occupied by confusion.

He never thought about what he wanted. Maybe it's because I'm too smart, and after understanding the reason for gain and loss, and the feelings of life and death, I understand how boring it is. The attachment and enthusiasm for the present world disappeared after witnessing too much darkness in this world.

People who have no desires are the most terrible. They even seem vague in their desires for life, but they have to support a pair of skins to walk in the world.

"It's really painful to be alive."

Osamu Dazai suddenly remembered Yuu's side face, and the inky eyes reflected the colors outside the house in the sunlight, shining like black opal. How gentle it was to hold his hand, so gentle that he wanted to cry.

"'Zhijun is a good boy and does a great job......"

I'm not a good boy...... I'm such a despicable guy, it doesn't matter if I use this as a threat, it doesn't matter what my true identity is.

- "Take me by the hand and take me away from this rotten place."

“…… Ha? ”

“…… Ah, did you accidentally say it? Osamu Dazai came back to his senses and smiled at Yuma, "As Yuu said before, as long as you can do it, you can fulfill one of my wishes." If you break your promise, you'll have to swallow a thousand needles—"

Yuma Ichinose opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't make any sound.

Osamu Dazai gently buried his head in Ichinose Yuma's chest, and his voice was dull and obscure, with a hint of imperceptible pleading,

"Now, let's get out of here together."
