however.

Four years later.

In the living room on the left.

"Chuya! You are so inferior! You are the one who drags me down! Dogs are smarter than you!" The iris-eyed boy yelled loudly at the game over on the TV screen.

"Who are you talking about, you bastard!" The orange-haired boy had a bright red well on his forehead, "If you didn't try your best to get stuck, would you have already passed this level?"

"Of course it's about you! ~Ah~ I see, you are a slug, right? Of course a brainless little slug can't understand human speech~ and can't understand the fun of BUG at all!"

"Shut up! I don't want to understand the fun of suicidal madness at all, okay? It's fine to cause trouble to others every day, why do you play a game like that? I think you need physical therapy to pour out the water in your brain! "

In the kitchen on the right.

"Random steps!" The petite black-haired girl hopped on the spot, looking at the half-empty snack cabinet with a broken face.

But the green-eyed young man didn't feel that he had done anything wrong at all, and he was obviously at an age that could not be described as a "child", but his expression was more childish than anyone else: "So! This pudding is mine in the first place. Why can't you eat it!"

"It's not just pudding! Puffs and marshmallows, strawberry Daifuku..." Yin counted the remaining supplies like a little housekeeper, "Ahhh! Why did you even eat chocolate chips! You can't eat so much today More snacks!"

"Well! Anyway, it's all going to be loaded into my stomach. What's the difference between loading it now and loading it later?"

"Alice told me to watch you!" Silver puffed up his face, "And don't you have a toothache?"

"But it doesn't hurt now!"

"What if it hurts again later?" Yin was so angry that he took out the key from his pocket and made a gesture to lock the snack cabinet.

So the next moment, youthful shouts sounded in the living room and kitchen at the same time.

"Alice! The detective wants a snack!"

"Sister! Help! Zhongye is beating someone!"

I just wanted to call for help, okay? !

Although you are all cute!Really super cute!

——But what I really want is not this kind of excitement!

Alice, who was sitting in the consulting room translating materials to earn money to support her family, twitched her mouth, and looked at the black-haired boy sitting beside him quietly doing homework——ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

You are a little angel!

The slender and tall blond girl patted his head with a very gentle expression. After receiving a questioning look, she smiled and shook her head.

Then put down the pen, ran out the door with a stern face, and raised the volume:

"Ranbu! You promised the president that I will arrange the dessert today!"

Who was it that rolled around on the bed screaming for a toothache yesterday? !

Also, "Dazai, speak humanly! Don't pick things up!"

"Alice! But now Ranpo-sama doesn't feel any pain anymore, it doesn't hurt at all!"

"Hey~~I didn't pick things up~It's because the slug is too weak!"

Edogawa Ranpo!That's because you took painkillers!Also, Osamu Dazai!Slug your sister!Are you a primary school student?

Alice laughed out of anger, rushed into the living room, walked up to Osamu Dazai and pinched his face with her hand.

"No swearing." The blond girl in a black dress and a white shirt put her hands on her hips, "Are you busy? Since you are busy, come over and do something serious for me!"

As she spoke, she loosened and slid her hands around the boy's neck, dragging him away.When passing by the door of the kitchen, he stopped, his blue eyes staring at Luanbu.

"Really want a snack?"

"Yeah!" The emerald green-eyed youth nodded, "I still have to drink soda!"

"Brush your teeth immediately after eating," Alice glared at him, "I'll let the silver supervisor do it."

"Ok!"

"And I'll tell the president, okay?"——101 tricks for not being able to control Mao Mao, tell the parents.

"Well!"

The detective's eyes widened, and "You are so cruel!" was clearly written on his face.

Alice laughed out loud.She softened her voice, "I really can't eat the sweet ones. Potato chips, not chocolate ones, plain and cheese ones? After two more packs of potato chips, we'll stop. How about we eat sukiyaki when Taro comes back tonight?"

"Put a lot of tofu!"

"no problem."

"Okay." Luanbu reluctantly agreed to the condition. Seeing that Alice was about to leave, he reached out and grabbed 2 packs of potato chips from the snack cabinet, and grabbed her coat with the other hand, "I want to leave too. go!"

"Then come~"

Then, just like that, Alice walked back to the consulting room.

"Mr. Ranpo." Ryunosuke looked up from the exercise book, and when he saw Ranpo and Dazai, his black eyes lit up.However, the former nodded and ignored him.It was very cold and self-care since Alice found a large hardcover anatomy book from Alice's bookshelf, and ran to the diagnosis chair in the corner of the room.He kicked off his shoes and shrank himself into the chair.He opened the potato chips and flipped through the book while eating.

Ryunosuke turned his attention to Osamu Dazai again.

The young man let out a long voice, "Hey~~", with a look of disgust on his face.However, Alice did not give him the chance to refuse.

After dragging a chair beside Ryunosuke, she pressed Osamu Dazai on the chair, and Ryunosuke immediately moved the exercise book in front of Osamu Dazai, with anticipation shining in his black eyes.

"Master Dazai!"

"No~~" Osamu Dazai slumped on the chair as if he had no bones, flailing his hands and feet like a child, "Why do I have to teach the brainless puppy No. [-] to do math problems!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Alice knocked on the forehead.

The girl curled her lips sinisterly, "Osamu Dazai, I'll give you another chance to organize your words."

"...Sister~ I don't want to teach Akutagawa how to do math~"

——Little student, you are very good at focusing on the key points!Is that where I asked you to reorganize?

Alice was almost amused by him, and poked his face with her hand: "Aren't you idle? Huh? Since you don't play games well, make some contributions to me! I always say that others are stupid, but I am giving you a chance Use your clever little brain."

"Hey~~" The 14-year-old boy dragged out the tone.Under Alice's gaze, he put on a pitiful expression in an instant: "Sister~ No need~ I don't want to use my brain today~ I have a headache~"

"Really?" Alice smiled, "Does it really hurt?"

"Yeah!" Osamu Dazai opened his eyes wide and nodded innocently.

"Oh~ Could it be that I hurt you?" Alice stretched out her hand and stroked his head, imitating his way and dragging out the tone in a coquettish voice. "It's so pitiful, eh~ what should I do? If it hurts, it might be broken—" she said, showing a devilish smile, "—then I see this brain Otherwise, don't want it?"

As he said that, he made a gesture to knock him again.

"Hey!" Dazai immediately hugged his head in horror, his kite-colored eyes were completely rounded.

Just cute.

Alice burst out laughing, stretched out her hand and patted Dazai on the head, "Okay, be good. I have already agreed that you will not go to school, let's agree, sister and Rimbaud earn money to support the family , everyone should help each other, what did you say at that time?"

"...Leave Ryunosuke to me."

"So, when you do things, you have to keep what you say and keep what you say."

—No, that's not what I meant.Osamu Dazai complained inwardly.However, looking at Alice's blue eyes and Ryunosuke's "help" written on his face.The boy puffed up his cheeks, lay down on the table, curled his lips helplessly, and compromised.

"Okay~ I got it~ I really can't do anything about you." He turned his head to Ryunosuke, and said weakly, "Tell me, what can't you do this time?"

***

The consultation room, office, and study room that became quiet again was quiet for a while—if one ignores the sound of scrambling and chewing potato chips and Osamu Dazai's cynicism from time to time.

Alice also turned her attention back to the translation of the materials in her hand.While writing non-stop, he occasionally chatted with Ranpo who raised various medical questions, and by the way, pinched Dazai's face to punish him when he was too eccentric.

At this time, footsteps came from outside the door.Chuya probed: "Alice, Rimbaud and I will go to Leibo Street."

"Understood, pay attention to safety." The girl raised her voice and replied.

The afternoon sun came in through the open window, and as she looked at the documents in front of her, her thoughts drifted a little.

***

So how did my day-to-day sprint from running a clinic to running an orphanage?

Occasionally, very occasionally, Alice could not help but reflect.

But, about picking up children, it's not that she's boasting, she really can't control herself.

On the first day of traveling, I picked up Chuya and Rimbaud.In the third year of travelling, I picked up Silver and Ryunosuke.Then, more than a month after picking up the Akutagawa brothers and sisters, I met Ranpo, and then picked up Osamu Dazai in the winter of that year.

Come to think of it, it was three and a half years ago.

Alice still remembers that the winter was extremely cold that day. [Sheep]'s base is considered to be in good condition on Leibo Street. Many adults have squeezed in, and it has become a welfare shelter that is rare in Leibo Street.The situation is special. Thinking about the weather, they are also miserable. As long as they don't cause trouble, Alice will turn a blind eye and close her eyes, which will increase the frequency of feeding.

In contrast, the number of times to go out is also more.

Then, the day after her 12th birthday—she remembered it clearly, it was December 12st—on her way home, when she walked on the bridge not far from her house, she saw a child floating in the river .

Alice felt bad all of a sudden.No kidding, at dusk near the freezing point in winter, a child was floating face down in the river, unable to tell whether he was dead or alive, and Alice almost had a heart attack from being frightened.

She immediately asked Mori Ogai to go down the river to find someone, but as soon as Mori Ogai's hand touched the child, he disappeared immediately.Alice was stunned, and it took a second to realize that this is not the effect of [Disqualification in the World]. She remembered that Yang Xiaoqi told her that Osamu Dazai and Nakaya were the same age.Isn't that just 11 years old now? !No wonder it's so tiny!

Fortunately, she was on the way back after feeding on Leibo Street that day. Because she had a lot of things, she asked Rimbaud to go with her. Otherwise, with her small body, when the police ambulance arrived, the day lily would probably be cold!

Even if she and Rimbaud reacted quickly and saw that Mori Ogai had disappeared and the latter hurried down to the river to find him, the boy who was fished out was still frozen to death.His lips were purple, his body was soaked, his whole body was cold, and there were obvious signs of drowning.

Alice quickly directed Rimbaud to give him first aid, and then rushed to the clinic with her arms in her arms.Mori Ogai is useless and can only rely on the two of them.Fortunately, in the past few years, Rimbaud has also been very experienced in dealing with various first aid.After a series of fairly orderly chaos, the boy who had been stripped of his wet clothes, wiped his body and wrapped himself in a thick quilt opened his eyes.

Alice felt a thorn in her heart at that time, the feeling was like being pricked by a thorn in her finger, it was a kind of pain that made her whole body tighten.

It was different from Akutagawa's dark, dull eyes back then.The boy's iris-colored eyes are clearly warm-toned, but they are like a frozen lake, full of cold and thorough silence.

It was a gaze that was so clear that it made people feel cold, like a thin layer of ice floating above the abyss.It's so cold that it seems to be able to see the bottom of people's hearts.Just being watched like this makes people feel hairy behind.It seemed that there was some kind of monster living under the child's body, staring at the world through those eyes.

This child is very cute, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is extremely delicate and beautiful.However, when he looks at people with this kind of gaze, no matter how good-looking he is, he doesn't even need to speak, which makes people subconsciously want to stay away from him.

Alice also felt very uncomfortable looking at it - not because she thought the child was weird, but because she wanted to scold the government again.

The appearance of an 11-year-old child must be the fault of this rubbish Japanese government, except that he is naturally high-spirited and anti-social, right? !

And didn't Yang Xiaoqi say that when Li Sen Ogai picked up Osamu Dazai in the original book, he was 14 years old?Then why did he jump into the river alone outside at the age of 11?What the hell is it winter?Where are the parents? !What is the situation now?

But before Alice could say anything or ask anything, the boy blinked, and the dead silence disappeared just now.It was replaced by innocence and bewilderment that fit his age.He opened his mouth, and then asked, "Sister... where is this place? Did you save me?"

The monster suddenly turned into a kitten, with a soft and timid voice.

"This is my hospital. I saw you in the river. I rescued you." Alice heard that his voice was a little hoarse, so she said "wait a minute", then turned and went out.

When he came back again, Mori Ogai who was carrying warm sugar water followed behind him.

The boy's eyes flickered, Alice turned around and took the cup from Mori Ogai, inserted a straw, and brought it to the boy.

"Drink some water first." She held the glass and leaned over.

"Thank you sister." The boy turned sideways, very obediently about to reach for the cup.Alice avoided his hand, and only brought the straw to his mouth to signal him to suck it.

The boy complied, holding the straw in his mouth like a kitten licking milk.But I don't know if it was a coincidence, he subconsciously took the cup with his half-stretched hand, and brushed the back of Alice's hand with his fingers.

Alice's supernatural power disappeared immediately, and Mori Ogai standing behind her suddenly disintegrated into a rose-red crystal light spot.

The boy who witnessed this scene widened his eyes.He choked on the sugar water at once, pushed Alice's hand away and coughed loudly.

"Cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough!"

Although the original intention was to experiment, Alice was also frightened by his violent reaction, so she quickly removed the cup and patted him on the back with one hand.When the cough finally stopped, the boy's eyes were wet.He grabbed Alice's wrist with one hand and asked, "That one just now! What is that?"

"It's my humanoid ability. You have it too, right?" Alice explained while patting his back with one hand.

"Supernatural powers in human form?" He stared at Alice with disbelief in his kite eyes like a cat with a frown.

"Yeah." Alice nodded, she couldn't hide the [disqualification in the world] anyway, "My name is Alice Mori, and that was my humanoid supernatural ability Mori Ogai just now, what's your name?"

"Dazai," the boy replied, "Dazai Osamu."

"Then, Dazai-kun. For the sake of saving you, can you promise me something?" Alice looked into his eyes seriously, "Except for my family, no one else knows that Mori Ogai is me." Humanoid ability—can you keep it a secret for me?"

The boy—Osamu Dazai narrowed his eyes, "Yes."

"That's good."

However, Dazai laughed, "Eh—my sister believed it all at once? Why? Because of a kid like me, no one would believe me even if I tell it?"

"No," Alice shook her head, "I just believe what you promised me. Whether you will say it and whether someone believes it are two different things - if I don't believe your promise, then there is no need to ask you .”

"...Sister, you are a good person." Osamu Dazai blinked his eyes, his smile was very beautiful, but when he said these words, there was a kind of innocence almost cruel coldness.

——This is the black mud spirit, the Holy Grail of the world that Yang Xiaoqi mentioned...

Faced with such a smile, Alice felt that she had gotten a little bit of Yang Xiaoqi's rich expression when he mentioned Osamu Dazai.

The dead silent look in the eyes at the beginning was probably also part of the factor, but it was more because of the present, right?

Alice narrowed her eyes - after knowing that Mori Ogai was not human, the soft and cuteness of the boy in front of her disappeared all of a sudden.He was obviously the one who was rescued, but he quickly reversed the situation just now and completely took the initiative in the conversation, and exposed a part of his "truth" indifferently.

Because you have already "mastered the opponent's weakness", so there is no need to "pretend" anymore?

--but……

Alice sighed inwardly, then reached out and stroked his head lightly, pressed his shoulders, and pressed him back on the bed.

——No matter how scheming you are, this is still a child.

"It doesn't matter if my sister is a good person or not. Anyway, she is not a bad person. The most important thing now is that you are a patient." She casually put the water glass on the chair next to her, and stretched out her hand to carefully tuck him in. "Is it still cold?" ? The hot water bottle in the quilt is scalding. Wait a minute, I will get you medicine. You look like this, I think you must have a fever later. "

After speaking, she was about to go to get the medicine, but just as she was about to withdraw her hand, her wrist was grabbed again.

Alice turned her head, and saw that the boy who showed off his sharpness just now had turned into a soft little milk cat again.

He shrank himself under the quilt, his soft black hair with a little dampness scattered on the pillow, his face was pale and pale, and his kite-colored eyes looked at her, which were crystal clear under the light, and seemed to be surging inside. Some kind of emotion that Alice couldn't understand.

"Sister~" He softened his voice and said, like a baby, with a sweetness unique to children, "If I say I am homeless... sister, will you take me in?"

"I know how."

Alice nodded very readily.

After all, no matter how badly Yang Xiaoqi said it, the person in front of him is just a penniless child who was rescued by her in the river in the middle of winter and has nothing but clothes and even a piece of paper.If you don't take it in, do you want to throw it out?

——For Alice, this is simply a question that does not need to be considered.

Dazai's expression immediately brightened, "Then~ sister, please take me in."

"Well, yes." Alice replied, and then she suddenly looked solemn, "But, if you want to be a child in our family, you have to be obedient."

"Hmm~" Dazai blinked, and nodded obediently, "I will be very obedient!"

The author has something to say: come, come, kill!
