About the years I played the role

Chapter 6 The Literary Hero

"Here we go, Odasaku."

Osamu Dazai stopped in front of the cafe with his big cat in his arms.He looked inside, but there was no one there, and he couldn't find the lady in the photo.

The previous 'travel' in the river ended when Dazai changed his direction and landed on the shore. He narrowly missed the boulder halfway and arrived safely.

When a person and a cat walked on the street, the rate of turning their heads back was not low. The ground was left with deep to shallow water stains, especially Dazai's wrinkled windbreaker after being soaked in water.

The time from that river to the cafe was just long enough for Dazai's wet clothes to look undisturbed from the outside, and the river water was completely wrapped inside.But as long as Dazai doesn't twist it hard, there is probably no big problem.

Oda's hair dries quickly, and when he landed, he threw all the water beads out of his body. Although he was hugged by Dazai as a hand-warming cat on the way, the hair on the side that was not blocked from the sun was dry and clean.

Now that the place has been reached, Oda finds his footing and plans to return to the ground.

As soon as he stood up straight, Dazai suddenly freed up a hand and stroked his back, kneading something between his fingers, with a surprised tone.

"Odasaku, so you have reached the moulting period?"

Oda was stunned for two seconds: "No, my moulting period is next month."

Oda forgot what he was going to do for a moment, raised his head and squinted to see what Dazai was holding.Under the sunlight, the color of the cat's fur became brighter, and it was particularly conspicuous between Dazai's fingers.

It was a large tuft of cat hair on his body.

It was the first time for Oda to see the real situation of his hair loss, and no other cats would remind him how much hair he lost before, so he was a little confused: "Will the hair loss... be so serious?"

Dazai said seriously: "Yes, maybe in two days you will lose a bald spot."

Oda: ...

In my memory, I don’t have any other cats during the moulting period. Even Dazai cat, who often makes commissions together, will nest up in one place when the moulting period comes. According to him, he feels that shedding all the time is more hindering him from finding beautiful girls. Sacrifice.

But in fact, when the gravity envoy from Hong Kong and Hei came, the black cat who just said that he could not let others see that he was shedding would quickly pounce and rub all the floating hair on the orange cat.It's okay to rub, often Dazai will make a few sarcasm, which makes Nakahara run out of patience and beat him up violently.

But think about the black hairs floating around in the detective agency during that time.

Oda looked at the pinch in Dazai's hand again, and felt that the hair loss might indeed be so serious, and couldn't help imagining how he would look like when he lost his hair and fell to alopecia areata.

Oda: .........

Oda returned to his senses with a serious face: "I see."

Inoue Sakurako has been waiting for this meeting for a long time.Under the urging of that mechanical voice, she deliberately changed into a newly bought light-colored long dress, put on light makeup, and then walked to the agreed place.

The door of the room was locked tightly with a 'click', and a whimper of nothingness was blocked back inside the door, but the specific source could not be heard.

She held a few pieces of paper with handwriting in her left hand, and not far away was the address left by her 'mother', and a black-haired man standing nearby, holding a big dark red cat in his arms.

"Sorry, I'm late." She smiled, her untied long hair was blown a few strands by the wind, and she slightly raised her hand holding the paper to pass it to the other party, but the latter politely refused.

"I've already read the information." He bent his eyes, and the iris-colored eyes showed a very soft illusion, "I didn't expect it to be a beautiful lady, the lady who came to issue the commission..."

"It's my mother." Inoue Sakura hurriedly answered, "She was recently ill and was hospitalized, and she was worried, so let me continue the entrustment."

During the conversation between the two, Oda recognized that the person in front of him was the girl who appeared downstairs in the detective agency with the illegal system last night.

Inoue Sakurako had an unconcealable brilliance in her eyes, apparently talking with Dazai Osamu made her happy enough.

If you look at it this way, is her mission to capture Dazai?

Thinking about it clearly, Oda let out a short and deep 'meow', interrupting the conversation between the two of them, or Inoue Sakurako's unilateral search for topics.

Sakurako Inoue's attention shifted to the cat in Dazai's arms at this moment, and she always felt that it looked familiar, so she hesitated a little: "This cat is...?"

"I happened to meet him when we were going out, and he was quite clingy." Dazai evaded the other party to ask questions, "If Ms. Inoue doesn't mind, why don't we go into the cafe and talk about it in detail."

A waiter in the cafe noticed the newly entered two people and one cat, and immediately led them to an empty seat.The seat is a two-seater sofa connected to each other. After Dazai and Inoue Sakurako sat down, Oda quietly jumped beside him and lay down, closing the cat's eyes, as cats usually do.

At this moment, Sakurako Inoue didn't care about the cat that looked so familiar, she focused all her attention on Osamu Dazai who was opposite her.

"So, you suspect that there is something wrong with Mr. Inoue's disappearance?" Dazai opened his mouth after hearing Sakurako Inoue's words. The girl's clumsy emotions were hidden in front of his eyes like a blank.

Sakurako Inoue looked directly into those eyes, and an inexplicable sense of crisis arose in her heart, which came from her intuition that had been sensitive to a certain level before time travel, warning her to pay attention to the person in front of her.

She choked up the words and swallowed unconsciously, only to realize that this person was not the harmless paper man she thought.

Sakurako Inoue tried her best to think of words, lowered her eyes and frantically called the system in her mind, but the system that was supposed to help her did not say a word, and the anxiety that urged her to go to the appointment before was completely gone.

"That's right." With no other choice, Sakurako Inoue forced her composure, losing the system she had been relying on all along. She was uncertain, and her fingertips around the coffee cup trembled slightly.

Dazai stared at Yingko Inoue, and suddenly smiled: "There should be nothing on my face, Miss Inoue seems to be afraid of me?"

After the words fell, Inoue Sakurako did not answer for a long time, her long hair slid down her shoulders, covering her drooping face.

She hid one hand under the table and clenched it into a fist. Osamu Dazai's glance just now seemed to see through all the camouflage imposed on him, and the truth she tried to hide was fully exposed in front of him.

—It's not impossible.

Before encountering this time travel, Sakurako Inoue was just an ordinary person, her only pleasure was staying at home and watching comics, and she seldom went out to socialize.When the system appeared and wanted to take her to 'Two-dimensional' to fall in love with the character she likes, she also agreed.

But when those people she imagined as love objects appeared in reality, Inoue Sakurako's idea of ​​liking disappeared immediately, and her brain clearly reminded her what kind of temperament these people really were.

["Use a supernatural power on that cat."]

The system that finally made a sound dropped a sentence coldly and disappeared again. When Sakurako Inoue raised her eyes, she met Osamu Dazai's gaze that never moved away.The cat the system said was next to him, seemingly in a deep sleep.

Sakurako Inoue's supernatural ability is given by the system after completing side missions. It is useless in normal times. It is the ability to transfer a single person within the field of vision. Sakurako Inoue has no control over where that person will be sent.

I don't know if it will work for cats.Sakurako Inoue thought, between pretending to have nothing to do and resolving the entrustment to leave and trusting the system, the latter has the upper hand.

She tried her best to appear harmless: "I was just a little worried about whether my father would be in danger after being missing for so long, but Mr. Dazai misunderstood me."

As she spoke, her gaze shifted to the big cat who opened its eyes at some point.

"But Mr. Dazai, I think I have seen this cat somewhere?"
