Chapter 68

01.

It’s almost dawn, and you can clearly see little bits of light seeping out of the thick, ink-like darkness.

As time goes by, bits of light splash out from the pure black background like glowing ink, and then melt and smudge out bit by bit.

The sky gradually turned into a grayish blue, but the sunlight was not bright, but appeared turbid.

Kiyohiko arrived at the agreed place and saw Ryunosuke Akutagawa standing on a high place. His long black windbreaker was flying in the light of dawn. His face was handsome, but his temperament was very cold. Looking at his eyes, you can tell that this is a man who stands on a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

"You're late." Ryunosuke Akutagawa jumped from a high place, and Rashomon formed a buffer for him to land smoothly, making him look very handsome.

Kiyohiko replied: "Two-dimensional creatures have no concept of three-dimensionality. As a three-dimensional creature, I have no concept of time. Isn't this normal?"

Ryunosuke Akutagawa was stunned for a moment, then he frowned and said: "Human beings are different from animals. So becoming a human is because..."

"The fundamental difference between humans and animals is whether they can make and use tools②" Qingyan answered instantly.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke was stunned again.

What the other party said made sense...

Then he came to his senses. He was here to discuss Mimic's affairs, not to review his junior high school homework.

"I met the leader of Mimic." Ryunosuke Akutagawa said. He was still a little depressed when he said this: "I lost. I didn't even become the opponent he expected."

"That means you still have a lot of room for growth . Well." Kiyohiko said, "It's normal for the other party to be stronger than you."

Ryunosuke Akutagawa said, "But Oda Sanosuke—that man was able to compete with the other party, and actually saved his life. I'm—" He felt a little resentful when he mentioned it.

"Because Oda is quite old," Kiyohiko said.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke was stunned again.

...I always feel as if I have been strangely comforted.

"Mr. Dazai still values ​​you very much. You don't need to feel decadent. You just need to move forward under his guidance." Kiyohiko said, "After experiencing so much, you should know that many things are not right. You can achieve it by fighting alone. You need to use your brain as well as your body."

Kiyohiko's words brought back the memories of Akutagawa Ryunosuke, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited, "After I told Mr. Dazai those words. The gentleman showed an expression that I have never seen before."

Kiyohiko: "Ahem, that's why Dazai did something he has never done to me."

"Damn it, I really want to be..." Akutagawa Ryu. Nosuke looked seriously: "So Kiyohiko, can you tell me more similar things?"
