Chapter 41
Chapter 41
Who can beat Sephiroth?
The answer is no one.
Miyako Eri is no longer a teenage girl. Even though her eyes are still as bright as a teenager after recovering her memory, Gojo Satoru can clearly see that her soul is full of holes.
Even after completing each world's commission, the world will give her back, repair her, and give her irreplaceable gifts.
"I see... Is this the reason for 'lost'?"
Miyako Eri will lose her memory every time she enters a new world. She will slowly unlock it when she finds the relevant mission holder, and her figure will also recover accordingly. to the best condition.
But during this long journey that cannot be described in words, she is bound to experience inevitable wear and tear.
Memories, hearts, obsessions...
Miyako Eri needs an anchor to keep her awake.
Sephiroth was her anchor.
Gojo Satoru looked at the white-haired girl condescendingly, his face no longer had the frivolous smile in the past.
He just stared at the girl codenamed "Savior" quietly, feeling a little heavy in his heart for some reason.
"Ah... it's over."
Miyako Eri didn't know that Gojo Satoru had thought so much in a short period of time, and she didn't care if it sounded ugly.
A large part of the reason why she is so compatible with Gilgamesh is because she is essentially the same person as Gilgamesh.
They are quite self-willed.
The girl with white hair and red eyes raised her head, stretched out her hand to take the condensed water droplets after atomization, and "hissed" because of the biting cold.
The fog began to gradually dissipate, and Nakajima Atsushi's battle was over. Although there were many accidents along the way, the incident ended smoothly.
She put her hand that was hit by the biting cold air close to her heart, and there was a powerful thumping in her ears.
"Nice to meet you, Sephiroth."
She closed her eyes slightly and murmured silently.
When Atsushi Nakajima saw Miyako Eri again, he still looked the same tattered look as when they first met, looking pitiful and cute.
He waved desperately to Miyako Eri and ran over panting, with concern on his face.
"Eri-chan, are you okay?"
Miyako Eri's image in his mind was always that of the young girl he saw when he first regained consciousness.
Miyako Eri looked at him and smiled.
"It's amazing, Atsushi."
"It has grown beyond my expectation."
"Sa, you will be noticed by that man in the future."
Osamu Dazai sat on the ground, looking in the direction of the corpse from a distance, as if he could see clearly What happened over there.
He was holding his chin with one hand, his brows relaxed after the crisis was resolved, and he murmured softly with a smile.
"I hope Eri-chan's luck won't be so bad... Well, if that person is here, even the most dangerous situation can be easily resolved."
"I worked overtime and did a lot of work this time. I'm really exhausted... ..."
He stretched out, his body weight following his arms and lying directly on the ground.
"Death from overwork is not the way I want to die..."
According to Nakajima Atsushi, the culprit Shibusawa Tatsuhiko who should have been approached by Miyako Eri and Gojo Satoru had originally announced many years ago Death, he was resurrected this time because of his supernatural power. The reason why he started such a big battle was because he was looking for Atsushi Nakajima, who had mistakenly attacked him many years ago.
He has been chasing the shadow of Atsushi Nakajima.
After hearing Nakajima Atsushi's explanation, Gojo Satoru glanced at Miyako Eri, and the white-haired girl nodded.
She knew what Gojo Satoru was seeking to prove.
Shibusawa Tatsuhiko was able to summon the shadows of Sephiroth and Xia Youjie, which was obviously beyond his ability in this world.
He is something that should be "excluded" from this world, but why he can be resurrected even though he has been eliminated by Nakajima Atsushi is a question they need to pursue.
Miyako Eri had a realization, and she looked at Osamu Dazai, who was lying lazily on the table early in the morning, pretending to be dead.
A person with many secrets should be quite well-informed.
She knew who to ask.
"Hey, come here to see me early in the morning. I didn't expect you to be so enthusiastic, Eri-chan~" Osamu Dazai was naturally not in the office of the Armed Detective Agency early in the morning. Miyako Eri still asked Atsushi Nakajima Only then did he know where Osamu Dazai would hide and be lazy.
It has to be said that although he has only joined the Armed Detective Agency not long ago, Atsushi Nakajima has already been fully trained.
Dazai Osamu raised his eyes and glanced behind Miyako Eri. He knew it when he didn't see the overprotective former bad teacher.
"A man came to see me... It seems that there is some secret that I don't want that white-haired conjurer to know." He chuckled softly, with a bit of deliberateness in his sigh.
"It's not a secret, it's just that Mr. Gojo is impatient to do this."
Miyako Eri was not provoked, and she also knew that Osamu Dazai was just being naughty out of habit.
Gojo Satoru and Dazai Osamu seemed to have some strange understanding, but she didn't care.
Anyway, they will not stay in this world for too long. No matter how much tacit understanding Gojo Satoru has with Dazai Osamu, he will not stay here.
He is the one who is going home.
"So, is Eri-chan the kind of person who likes to cause such trouble?"
Dazai Osamu said this with some inquiry. His pair of kite-colored eyes looked cold against the warm sun, looking at Miyagi. Furu Eri's expression couldn't be described as friendly.
"...I don't want to do this if possible."
Miyako Eri did not avoid Dazai Osamu's question. She has always been honest with people. Even in Gojo Satoru's world, she was very calm when she first met Gojo Satoru.
She also thought that it was not good for the people in the world to know too much, but no matter how well she concealed it, accidents would always happen unexpectedly.
After a lesson or two, Miyako Eri learned to be honest.
What's more, she is very self-aware. Even if she is not honest, there will always be people in the world who force her to be honest.
When faced with monster talents like Osamu Dazai, she has learned to graft pressure onto these people.
If it weren't for Edogawa Ranpo's lack of prerequisites, she would naturally prefer the world's best detective.
But the person in front of her... his thorough calculation of people's hearts was an eye-opener for her.
"Dazai-kun, it seems that he has been wary of Mr. Gojo and I from the beginning."
Miyako Eri's name for Dazai-kun changed from "Mr. Dazai" to "Dazai-kun", not just because of her body and memory. As time went by and the lockdown was gradually lifted, she felt that Dazai Osamu and her were essentially the same person.
"Is it because you have already guessed our origins, or because..."
Before getting down to business, let's lay the groundwork and estimate how much Osamu Dazai knows. Only then can Miyako Eri be confident to continue the topic.
Otherwise, this cunning and fox-like member of the armed detective agency would have slipped through his fingers like a fish in the water.
"I don't know who you are."
Dazai Osamu folded a certain manual that he never left behind and fanned it as if it were a fan. He raised his other hand in a serious manner.
Who said that a double negative equals a yes?
A smile appeared on Miyako Eri's face. She was not surprised that Dazai Osamu didn't answer. She just opened her legs and came closer.
Then she reached out and grabbed the manual in Osamu Dazai's hand and tilted her head.
"Is this what you were told?"
Although it was a question, Miyako Eri's performance had clearly confirmed that the information that caused Dazai Osamu to have doubts about her and Gojo Satoru was the manual he never left.
"Eri-chan, questioning a man will scare him away."
There was no smile on Dazai Osamu's face, and although his voice warning Miyako Eri was soft, there was a certain chill that could not be suppressed.
He did it on purpose.
"I don't want to get to the bottom of it too much."
Miyako Eri and Dazai Osamu looked at each other and let go after receiving a positive answer.
"I have long said that I have no ill intentions towards this world."
"I am just here to complete the commission and leave as soon as possible."
She has many tasks at hand, and other worlds are approaching her every moment. If she asks for help, if she stays in this world for one more day, the possibility of saving other worlds will be even less.
She won't waste extra emotion and time on this.
"So, in order to drive me and Gojo-sensei away as soon as possible, Dazai-kun, shouldn't you say something?"
Miyako Eri shamelessly asked Dazai Osamu for information. After all, she already knew that Dazai Osamu didn't really want to Let the two of them stay in this world.
"Well... I have some ideas..."
Osamu Dazai didn't mean to embarrass Miyako Eri. He even revealed the object of his suspicion quite readily.
"After all, that man has caused me a lot of trouble before. If we can get rid of him together..."
"Well, I can't say that the world will be a lot better because of this, but I should feel a lot more relaxed."
He was not euphemistic at all . meaning, he expressed his desire to kill someone with a borrowed knife very happily.
"Demon" Fyodor, the leader of the "Death House Rats", was introduced by Dazai Osamu as the mastermind behind many incidents, including but not limited to the airship "Moby Dick" that was almost shot down by Gojo Satoru. "And persuaded Shibusawa Tatsuhiko to come to Yokohama and cause a scene.
Maybe Shibusawa Tatsuhiko's body was resurrected by him.
"He sounds like a very difficult person to deal with."
Miyako Eri blinked her bright red eyes thoughtfully, and then asked Dazai Osamu, "What about his appeal?"
"That is a person that even Dazai-kun finds difficult . It would be too boring if the character just went crazy."
Miyako Eri seemed to have her own logic, "So, what kind of unswerving desire does that person have to turn the world upside down?
"Well..."
Osamu Dazai withdrew his eyes and glanced to the other side, with a hint of mockery on his face, "That guy probably hopes to clean up the world."
"...To clean up the world . " "What?"
After hearing Dazai Osamu's words, Miyako Eri did not show much surprise. She repeated the other person's dream softly, "That is really... a great wish..."
"It's okay to want world peace. , No matter if you want a world where there will be no struggle among humans, there are always so many people with lofty ideals in this world..."
Miyako Eri couldn't help but think of the many persistent fools she had encountered in her past experience. Sighed.
If her memory recovery speed is not slow, the closest one is probably Gojo Satoru's best friend.
"But it's because of the existence of so many idiots that human beings are so special."
She touched her chest gently, suddenly thinking of a young man with short blond hair, and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously.
"You say so, you autistic little fool."
