Chapter 41
"Are you back?" Hearing the sound of the door opening, Minegishi looked over, "I seemed to hear a sound at the door just now, and thought I heard it wrong. Who are you talking to at the door?"
"I ran into the neighbor across the way and chatted casually." Dazai said while changing his shoes at the entrance, "He even told me about you, and asked if the cake I brought was for you."
"But you probably don't like sweets, right? If he didn't tell me, I really don't know." Dazai put the cake on the table casually, "If you don't like it, forget it, I'll take it to the hospital tomorrow Distribute to colleagues."
"He? Shibazaki told you?" Minegishi glanced at the cake on the table and walked over, "I didn't expect that he could still remember what I said casually at that time. But it's not that I can't eat sweets of."
He opened the cake box, which was actually just a small cake for one person, "Sometimes I can eat it, but someone will give it to me for points."
Dazai smiled.
"Let's eat it separately, half for each of us." Minegishi said again, "It's just right for supper."
The sweet cake seemed to make the night's dream comfortable, and Minegishi felt extra relaxed when he woke up the next day.
After washing in the bathroom, he changed his clothes and walked out of the bedroom. The morning news in the living room had already started playing, accompanied by the intermittent sound of cooking coming from the kitchen, it seemed particularly lifelike.
Minegishi glanced into the kitchen, Dazai was frying eggs with his back turned.At this time, he will have a very obvious feeling, as if the whole world is reminding him that the person in front of him is no longer the one he likes.
His eyes dimmed, and the good morning that he wanted to blurt was swallowed back, and he quietly left the kitchen.
Originally, it was his own choice, and he had already prepared to return to the state of being alone again, but the only thing he didn't expect was that he would be so uncomfortable.
It took him several years to finally get used to being alone, and in the blink of an eye, he collapsed within two months of being with Dazai.
Loneliness and loneliness have nowhere to vent.
Especially when there is a Dazai beside him who looks like the Dazai he knows, but in fact it is not, this kind of feeling is more like the sea water surging up around the isolated island, which can submerge him at any time.
The news on the TV was still broadcasting, from trivial trifles to accidental car accidents on the street.Nagisa Minegishi listened indifferently, while the host was still talking about the car accident that happened last night.It seems that a luxury car was driving too fast in the suburbs and accidentally overturned. The owner of the car was rescued and is still lying in the ICU.
The movement in the kitchen gradually subsided, and Dazai came out with breakfast, "Xiao Nagisa, come and have breakfast."
Just as Minegishi was about to get up, he heard a flash of the TV screen, and it turned into a reporter standing at the door of the hospital.
"The following is a special report. The chairman of a well-known building materials group in our city suffered a heart attack in the early morning of this morning and has been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. I am now standing at the door of the hospital, waiting for the continued report."
Nagisa Minegishi was taken aback, and noticed the introduction about the patient in the lower right corner, isn't this the protagonist's father?
"Little Nagisa?"
"Oh, here we come." He came back to his senses.
*
After breakfast, Dazai didn't seem to need to go to the hospital in advance today, so he simply stayed a little longer and prepared to drive Minegishi to school.When the two went out, they happened to meet Shibazaki Yuma who had just come up from the elevator.
Minegishi thought of what Dazai said when he came back last night, that the other party was going to go out in the middle of the night, and now that he didn't come back all night, could he?
He took a few more glances at Shibazaki, and found that there were indeed some black and blue marks under his eyes.
He thought again of the news he had just seen on TV.
Maybe it was taking care of the family all night last night, Nagisa thought casually.
"Good morning, are you going to work?" After Shibasaki saw Minegishi Nagisa and Dazai, the corners of his normally flat mouth instantly raised.
Minegishi nodded: "Yes, did you just come back?"
"That's right." Shibazaki said vaguely, "Something happened at my house. I'll come back to get some clothes and plan to go home and stay with my family for a few days."
Minegishi chatted with him briefly again, during which Dazai just waited by the side, didn't interrupt, and didn't want to talk to Shibazaki.
Shibazaki also just greeted Dazai softly, and then he focused all his attention on the chat with Nagisa. It can be said that there was no communication between the two, and it didn't look like the love at first sight mentioned in the plot.
Nagisa Minegishi felt a little puzzled.
"System, haven't you felt the energy fluctuations of the virus on Shibasaki?"
"No." The system like a light group jumped, "The protagonist lives opposite us. I have met him so many times, and he has never felt the virus. The host... Could it be that we are looking for Is it the wrong person?"
"I think this protagonist is not at all the same as the one in the previous world, and he doesn't seem to have much interest in the target."
Minegishi also has a similar feeling to the system.
It's just that there has been a vague feeling of uneasiness in his heart. He can't say why, maybe the influence of the last world on him has not been eliminated until now.
This doubt was temporarily suppressed until he arrived at the Parenting Department.
"Hot spring trip?" Nagisa Minegishi looked at Kashima opposite him in surprise, "Why do you suddenly say you're going to go to a hot spring?"
"Actually, it's because of Kotaro. Yesterday I took him to the store to buy things, and by the way, he participated in a lottery..."
"And then you won a prize for a hot spring trip?"
Kashima Ryuichi nodded happily.
Mineganzhu's expression was a bit complicated, as if he was envious or looking up at Ouhuang, "Then why did your two hot spring trips have anything to do with you?"
"I just told everyone about it. The children seem to be very interested in soaking in hot springs, so the teachers decided to go there with us this weekend at their own expense. Mr. Minegishi will come with us, too?"
It sounds like a good suggestion, and he hasn't experienced the taste of hot springs for some years.
If you want to go on the weekend, it will be considered as a Friday night, and you will spend two days and two nights if you are full of money. Nagisa Minegishi silently calculated the expenses for food, accommodation and transportation in his heart.The eagerness to try was immediately dispelled.
It also cost too much money.
Although it is not unaffordable, he still prefers to see his small money in the bank.
Minegishi opened his mouth, and just when he was about to refuse, he heard Kashima on the opposite side continue to say, "Oh, by the way, when Mr. Minegishi didn't come this morning, the teachers asked me to help with a sentence. Because you still have Mr. Tuda has been helping to take care of the children, and they want to take this hot spring trip as a thank you and invite you to go with Mr. Tuda."
Ask him to go?
Nagisa Minegishi balked when she reached the tip of her mouth in refusal, which instantly turned into a promise, "Okay!"
When he came home at night, he casually talked to Dazai. He thought that the other party would agree to it like the last time he went to the amusement park, but he frowned when he heard it, and asked first, "How long will you be going? "
Nagisa Minegishi was taken aback, then remembered and replied, "Leave on Friday afternoon and come back on Sunday afternoon, it will take about two days and two nights."
Dazai let out an "oh", and after a while, he heard him say, seemingly unintentionally, "Then I'll go with you."
"……what?"
"Why, don't you want me to go with you?"
"No." Minegishi shook his head, "I just didn't expect, don't you still have a job in the hospital? Is it okay to stay with us on weekends?"
"I'm not very busy recently, I just need to take a leave of absence. It just so happened that I didn't take annual leave during the New Year this year."
On Friday, Minegishi and Dazai packed up their things and went to the Shinkansen station together.The place they are going this time is Hakone, which is not too far from Yokohama, and it takes only two hours by car.
Depart in the afternoon and arrive at the hotel just in time for dinner.
A large group of them including children can be compared to a small tourist group. When they crowded around the hotel lobby to check in, they looked extremely eye-catching.At least when Edogawa Conan saw such a group of people approaching, he felt very impactful.
"Wow, look over there, there are so many children!"
"Why do they look so small?"
"But it's so cute!"
What he also noticed were the three members of the boy detective team who surrounded him.Children are probably more likely to empathize with children. Ever since they noticed the small groups in the parenting department, the three members of the Detective Boys always glanced aside from time to time.
Seeing Edogawa Conan shaking his head next to him, he was even more sure that he couldn't get along with these real brats.
Not long ago, he witnessed a dark transaction in an amusement park. He was poisoned by someone without realizing it. When he woke up again, his body shrank and turned into the appearance of a primary school student.In order not to startle the enemy, he simply disguised his identity, from a high school detective to a primary school student.
It's just that he's pretending on the surface, but he's still the 17-year-old high school student on the inside.There are some magical ideas and topics that only belong to children, he really can't get them!
Edogawa Conan couldn't help but sighed.
Fortunately, the group of people who checked in nearby left quickly, and the topic of the young detective team around them changed from arguing which one was cuter to when they would go to the hot spring later.Hearing that the three of them were about to quarrel again, the mature boy sighed again hastily.
Minegishi and Dazai lived in a double room.
Dazai came here at his own expense, and he had to live in a room no matter what, so he simply lived with Dazai to save another room.
After simply putting their luggage away, they all gathered at the restaurant downstairs, planning to eat at the hotel tonight.The hotel restaurant is self-service. Although the price is more expensive than the outside self-service, the food is exquisite and delicious, there are many styles, and the environment is clean and tidy.In this way, the extra money is nothing.
Minegishi chose something to eat and sat on the seat.Dazai also came over, he glanced at the things on Dazai's plate, and said with a somewhat inexplicable expression, "Are you eating crab meat again?"
"Well, I don't know what's wrong recently, I always want to eat some of this." Dazai took the first to take out the crab legs from the plate, and peeled the shell skillfully, "I didn't think it was good before, but the crabs are actually quite delicious. Yes. Nagisa, would you like some?"
"...I'll forget it." After all, he ate too many crabs, and he was already a bit overwhelmed.
Minegishi took this love of crabs as a coincidence, so after only looking at it for a while, he refocused on what was on his plate.But soon, when he saw Dazai picking out the cauliflower from the plate with a disgusted expression, his expression changed again.
Don't even like cauliflower?
Nagisa Minegishi paused his hands, and subconsciously recalled the moments when he got along with Dazai since he came to this world.The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
He was misled by the opposite temperament of the Dazai of the two worlds before, and he never paid close attention to Dazai's every move.Looking back now, Dazai seems to have changed his personality most of the time, but everything else is exactly the same as him in the previous world.
The same person in the parallel world...will they look alike to such an extent?
Minegishi didn't quite believe it.
Because he is the person who has experienced the parallel world, he is very clear that the two worlds he encountered, except for the name and appearance are exactly the same, the rest are completely different, there is no similarity at all.
From small living habits, temperament, to family background, no one is the same.
Under such circumstances, it is difficult for Minegishi to believe that another person and himself in the parallel world can be exactly the same.
The hand holding the knife and fork gradually tightened, and his heartbeat seemed to have not slowed down since just now. He heard his beating heart, which seemed to be able to jump into his throat.Nervous sweat did not know when it came out, and after a long time, Minegishi heard his own voice——
"Dazai, do you like dogs?"
