Another World Bookstore in Yokohama

Gide's books are selling like a raging fire overseas, and he has obtained quite a high fortune, but Gide himself cannot take the money with him, and he has no intention of using it.So he gave all the money he got to the boss as his living expenses for living here these days.

And also very fast.

On this day, the two met in a tea room and sat face to face.

Lin Yuan spoke first, "Is it finally?"

"Ah."

"fair enough."

"Yes, I feel that I have found some meaning in life." Gide said lightly.

"Writing?"

Gide nodded: "It can soothe the mood, express those unspeakable emotions, and use it as a pillar of life. This is very good. But it's not just these."

"I feel like I've found a little bit of my true self."

"Then I felt able to look at myself squarely," Lin Yuan continued, then smiled at the strange look of the other party, and explained: "I have seen many writers say similar things from time to time."

The man on the opposite side curled his lips; "So, writing can indeed understand the state of mind, and even untie the knot. There are data to support it."

The water in the teacup on the table rippled slightly with the breeze.

Lin Yuan picked up the cup and took a sip of the tea in it, and Gide did the same.

"The tea here is okay." The boss commented softly.

Compared with the tea in this world, the taste is acceptable.

"Actually, it's okay. People like me who don't know much about the details can't see it." Gide said, "But I've always been more curious why you pursue it so much."

"If you want to know more, you can read related books, but most of them are very difficult." Lin Yuan served tea, "It's enough for someone like you who knows simple etiquette. In the frantic pursuit of items, if one fails to grasp it, one may fall into it.”

"Well, that's it..."

Gide lowered his head to drink tea, and there was a brief moment of silence in the air.

"..."

...

"I'll see you in the afternoon, right?" Lin Yuan said suddenly.

"Yes, these days are really disturbing."

"Not really, I'm quite happy."

Listening to the subtle musical instruments playing in the single room, both of them smiled faintly.

This is a guzheng song with a fresh and long-lasting tune.

"...It was really fun and interesting during this time." After a while, Gide said.

Hearing this, Lin Yu'an showed a sly smile: "That goes without saying."

Just like this, although it is obviously a parting, although the two parties are a little sentimental, it is not always the case. They knew from the beginning that they did not really belong to each other emotionally.So when the bond was first established, it was known that one of the parties would take the first step.

Therefore, it is not overly sad, and even congratulated because one person has found his own future direction.

***

Ryunosuke Akutagawa was walking on the streets of Yokohama, and he was now going to the next mission location.

Although this task was originally planned for tomorrow, he has a very important thing to do tomorrow.

Really, really important!

It's not about the organization, it's not about the family, it's not even about the people here.

That's right, it's my ghost teacher!

He mentioned the meeting in his letter with Mr.Although the husband said that it will be postponed for some time, so it is not necessary to prepare for the meeting.

However, the article he wrote in the letter was seriously evaluated by the husband, and even praised him a bit.

Then for this, the gentleman said that he could give a photo.

Or the autographed one.

The day to get the letter is today!

Now I have to finish the task well and then go to the bookstore to get the letter, and I will also get the boss's teaching by the way.

How exciting!

------

bookstore.

Sitting on the seat in the previous section, Ryunosuke Akutagawa was so excited that he couldn't contain himself now, because just now, he had read the letter from his husband and the photo that came with it.

that photo.

And not just Mr. Osamu, but also Mr. Dazai Osamu, Mr. Nakahara Chuya, Mr. Izumi Kyoka, and Mr. Natsume Suishi (the teacher I mentioned before, Mr. Oni).And Mr. Tanizaki Junichiro, how can you repair it, put down your hand that poked my Mr. Ghost's face.

All in all, very excited!

Here, here is heaven!

Although it is a black and white photo. (The photo was taken with Akutagawa's old camera)

Ryunosuke Akutagawa was moved to tears (?)

The man on the opposite side couldn't help but smile, and turned his head to look at the seemingly empty air.

It looked like there was nothing, but there was actually someone standing there.

And that person is the "Akutagawa Ryunosuke" of that world that Akutagawa Ryunosuke is thinking of.

He is now looking at the boy opposite with a smile.

[You have a kind face, Mr. Ghost. ] Lin Yuan greeted with voice transmission.

The corner of the man's mouth twitched suddenly: [Why do you feel so weird when you say that. 】

【I thought my description was accurate. 】

[Maybe, but please stop saying that, sometimes even if it is an accurate description, it is not a word that can be used directly in social situations without beautification. 】

【...Your focus is a little strange】

Lin Yuan covered half of his face with one hand to hide his speechless expression.

【Oh, is it so? ...but don't talk now, the child seems to want to say something. 】

Hearing this, Lin Yu'an blinked, took his right hand from his face and put it on the table, and looked at Akutagawa Ryunosuke who had just put down the photo.

"Ready?" he asked with a smile.

The boy blushed and nodded.

"Then start learning next, don't think about it anymore~"

"of course not!"

"Well, today I want to learn strategies and tactics, that is, through this "Sun Tzu's Art of War," Lin Yuan casually held up a book, "There are also actual combat exercises one by one."

"Are you ready?"

"Ready." Akutagawa Ryunosuke pursed his upper lip.

Tension, anticipation.

Lin Yu'an looked at the emotion that was almost overflowing on the boy's face, and smiled.

Then, he snapped his fingers.

The scene around him was instantly disillusioned and turned into a piece of pure white. Ryunosuke Akutagawa closed his eyes as if he couldn't stand the strong light, and finally opened them after he recovered.

It turned into a broad grassland in front of them, and the place where they are sitting now is in front of a yurt.

Between him and the boss is no longer the wooden table of the bookstore, but a small sand table.

[No matter how many times I see it, I feel so magical. 】'Akutagawa Ryunosuke' sighed.

Lin Yuan chuckled, [Then I found several short stories and comments about me from your desk? 】

【...I should go to another place, please send me there...】'Akutagawa Ryunosuke' trying to find a way to escape.

【The place where Osamu Dazai is. ] Lin Yuan reminded.

【Yes, yes, it is him. I want to take a good look at this man. This man who made Akutagawa like that is really a sinful man.If it is such a hateful person, for me, I can let him go to Hell with blisters to experience it. 】

The word order is already messed up, Mr. Akutagawa.

[My ghost teacher has been writing about hell again recently? 】

【How do you know? 】'Akutagawa Ryunosuke' looks very surprised.

He has indeed read a lot of relevant materials recently, and is sorting out the simple drafts he has made.And from a few days ago to now, he has developed a deep hatred of the human race. His words just now are some extreme manifestations of him recently.

[Okay, it's time for you to go] After Lin Yu'an said indifferently, he disappeared into the venue without waiting for the other party to say anything.

After all, this person came here for that person, for that person in his world.

Lin Yuan looked at the boy who was seriously reading the book ("Sun Tzu's Art of War"), clapped his hands, and attracted Akutagawa Ryunosuke's attention.

"Now it's time to start~" Lin Yuan said with a smile.

***

After eating a bag of Edogawa Ranpo's snacks, Osamu Dazai leisurely went downstairs.

But instead of going shopping, I went to the coffee shop on the first floor of the detective agency.

When he arrived at the store, he lay on the bar counter.

Then he looked at the waitress and said solemnly: "Ah, this beautiful lady, I have a very important request now!"

The voice is still a chant.

"What is it, Mr. Dazai?" The girl said with a smile on her face.

"Yes, this is a very important request."

"Hmm, so what is it?"

"I thought of a particularly wonderful coffee, which can be prepared only with the things in the coffee shop. It doesn't need the products in the shop, so it won't affect my credit account. It's just kitchen supplies. Um, so." Dazai Ji blinked hintingly.

"So what, Mr. Dazai~" The girl still smiled.

Osamu Dazai raised an index finger, and looked at the waitress with sharp and charming eyes, "Give me a cup of dish soap in a coffee cup!"

"No way~" the waiter replied politely with a smile.

"..."

There was a momentary silence in the air.

"Hey?????" Osamu Dazai yelled, and the extended voice was full of regret.

And 'Akutagawa Ryunosuke' watching from the side:...

This man, oh my god.

And the color of this person's soul is black, black!This is how many people have been killed, how dark the mind is.

Then the impression was even worse.

Although the soul of his little reader is also close to black and red, but can these two people be the same.

That's right, a double standard.

Of course, Dazai Osamu's demon has not finished yet, and Fukai Mori, who was abandoned by Ranpo alone in the detective agency, has not disappeared yet.

So uncomfortable, really uncomfortable~

But now he can't hit those people who have already run away, and in fact, apart from being left alone in the detective agency, there is nothing uncomfortable. Everyone in the armed detective agency treats him very well, and sometimes even Can do whatever they want.

But sometimes a bad mood is a bad mood, and he has to do something that won't make people angry but can also make him feel better.

Just like what he's doing now.

If he was really angry, the waitress would beat him, and he would apologize obediently to make the girls happy.In the end everyone was happy.

So when the waitress seemed to ask him about the credit, he warmly held the soft right hand of the other party, and seemed to be very serious in requesting to die in love with him.

And all this in the view of 'Akutagawa Ryunosuke':  …

I don't want to comment anymore.

The author has something to say: Gide is leaving.

Also, Osamu Dazai's favorability with Mr. Akutagawa has dropped to a negative number, without his knowing.

I will work hard to make up for it in the future~

The characters in the photos here refer to the literary failure, which means that the literary giant is disqualified.
