Tokyo: The life of a literary giant begins with home self-defense!

Chapter 401: He's the scumbag Long Chuanche! (Part 1)

As Tatsukawa Tetsuya left the Kujo residence, he felt a sense of disorientation.

Six months ago, he visited the largest library in Yamanashi and confirmed that there were no Osamu Dazai, Yasunari Kawabata, or others in this world.

But where did the short poem "The Moon Meets the Clouds, the Flowers Meet the Gentle Breeze, the Night Sky is Beautiful Tonight" that is engraved in Osamu Dazai's "The Setting Sun" come from?
Long Chuanche's mind was filled with incomprehensible thoughts until he almost bumped into the girl in front of him before he stopped.

The once empty Kujou residence was suddenly filled with a large group of people: a noblewoman and the exiled potato minister.

There was no need for Tatsukawa Tetsu and Matsue Moko to stay, so they both chose to leave.

"What have you been doing since just now?"

The girl walking in front sighed. Something was wrong with Long Chuanche after he went out from the middle.

I kept getting distracted and absent-minded.

Although the boy followed her home, claiming it was unsafe for a girl to go home so late, he...
Songzhi Muzi looked around.

It was past midnight and the night sky was still brightly lit. There were no taxis available at Lake Kawaguchi at this hour, and the black sedan that had just brought the two people back was nowhere to be seen.

"what are you doing?"

Long Chuanche was stunned.

The old man asked him to attend his funeral tomorrow, and he was considering whether to accept.

"If you come, I'll give you that notebook. Writers should all have a strong thirst for knowledge, right?"

At this moment, the world is an unreal illusion in Long Chuanche's eyes. It seems that everyone knows about his past, but he, who experienced it firsthand and who prides himself on his excellent memory, is completely unaware of that lost period of his life.

He and the young lady had known each other for a long time.

Even the pine branch in front of me wasn't someone I'd never met before, even six months ago.

Everything that had been confirmed seemed to be shattered and started anew. Even though Long Chuan Che had always prided himself on his emotional stability, he couldn't help but feel dazed and disoriented.

"fine."

Longchuan Che smiled at the girl.

For him, everything might be starting over, but for Songzhi Muzi in front of him, he has always been the person she has known since childhood.

My childhood sweetheart from kindergarten, and my boyfriend in my youth.

"I'm suddenly feeling a little jealous."

Longchuan Che pinched the girl's chin.

"Was Mu Zi and I close when we were little?"

On the banks of the calamus-covered river, an old man told him that he had liked to show off his literary talent when he was a child, and the little girl he often played with was also named Songzhimuzi.

He even said that he would marry the other person when he grew up, and that dream about the Eastern Su San Wang who passed on the lamp was also real.

The thought of some little brat trying to get Songzhi Muzi to be his wife made Longchuan Che feel a pang of jealousy.

Because he has no recollection of that period of his life.

If I don't have these memories, am I still myself? Long Chuanche felt so frustrated he wanted to bang his head against the wall.

"The relationship is good."

Songzhi Muzi suddenly turned her head away, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Life can be so absurd at times.

When Ryukawa Tetsu first started dating Matsue Moko, she often asked him, "Do you get jealous? Jealousy is a sign of love."

After calmly considering the matter for a moment, Tatsukawa Tetsuya would say 'no'.

The answer she had longed to hear time and again came from the boy's mouth after the breakup. Songzhi Muzi turned her head and pursed her lips.

"Ah, sorry."

Realizing he might have inadvertently said something that would upset the girl, Ryukawa Tetsu gestured towards the courtyard where the lights were still on.

"Come in quickly."

Longchuan Che held the black cat in his arms.

Songzhi Muzi's little home is warm and cozy.

Long Chuanche tightened his grip on the black cat in his arms.

"Let me walk back to the mountain lake all by myself."

Ryukawa Tetsu's words were both pitiful and funny. Matsue Moko couldn't tell whether he had genuinely been distracted and let the Kujo family's car leave, or whether he had deliberately planned to have her take him in.

Tatsukawa Tetsuya, isolated and helpless, stands at his doorstep with Matsuji Moko.

"Come in." The girl sighed and took a bunch of small keys out of her bag.

I've been to Tatsukawa Tetsu's house, Matsugi-ko's house, a two-story building with a small courtyard, a few times.

There is a volleyball net in the courtyard, and pine branches and pine needles are usually used there to dry quilts when the weather is nice.

"Excuse me~"

"There's no one on the first floor of the building," Long Chuanche said quietly.

Actually, he was indeed distracted just now, which is why he let the Kujo family's car leave.

But at this time.

The girl's face looked gentle and serene under the fluorescent light, and Long Chuanche felt that this was a good opportunity.

A good opportunity to make up for hurting the girl's feelings.

"Mom and Dad are back. You can make do on the sofa for the night."

The girl took out a quilt from the storage room. The Songzhi family didn't have many rooms. Her parents, who were originally abroad, had returned in the last couple of days. Miss Muzi moved the small table in the living room, intending to make a place for Longchuan Che.

"Can't I go to your room?"

Long Chuanche blinked, even though he had volunteered to come in.

But the Songzhi family's place is not good.

Imagine waking up in the morning to find the scumbag who hurt your daughter sleeping in the living room.

What would you do?
Ryukawa Tetsu looked at the photo wall of the burly Momoji Haruki and Matsue Momoko's father.

They've already started looking for an escape route.

"If you're afraid, then don't come in."

Songzhi Muzi rolled her eyes.

She knew that Long Chuanche had no ulterior motives for going to her room, since nothing substantial had actually happened between them.

Although Longchuan Che hurt her emotionally, he still respected her wishes.

He has a reputation as a scumbag, but he hasn't done what a scumbag should do?

The girl couldn't help but think that.

"No, I still don't feel safe."

Long Chuanche got up and wandered around, but still felt uneasy.

He could leave aside Momoji Haruka, whom he had met a few times, but he discovered that Matsue Moko's father was a whole size older.

Standing at over 1.9 meters tall, he resembled an iron tower, and the news clipped from the lower left corner even bore the title "Imperial Heavy Artillery."

Do you think this is appropriate?

The girl blushed with anger when her ex-boyfriend wanted to go to her room after their breakup. Although she knew he wouldn't do anything, she was still furious.

"We've broken up, Ryukawa Tetsu. Do you think things are still the same as before?"

The girl's voice held an uncontrollable anger, causing Long Chuanche, who was pacing around aimlessly, to pause in surprise.

"Feel sorry."

Amazingly, it was Songzhimuzi who spoke first.

The girl, who had always acted very carefree, turned her face away and put Longchuan Che's pillow away.

“My parents have always lived abroad, and they have never seen your picture.”

Because I'm in Brazil, I don't know much about Tatsukawa Tetsu. Since I've never seen a picture of Tatsukawa Tetsu, it's unlikely that the incident of Matsueda abusing Tatsukawa Tetsu happened.

After saying that, the girl prepared to leave.

As a result, someone grabbed my wrist.

She turned around and saw her ex-boyfriend holding her hand.

The boy scratched his head and said:
How about we get married?

"What?" Songzhi Muzi wondered if she hadn't heard clearly.

“I’ll talk,” Long Chuanche took a deep breath.
"How about we get married?"

The boy spoke so solemnly that Songzhi Muzi felt like she was seeing a ghost.
