Ah, here it is. Look, look.
Congratulations to all of you who have successfully solved this difficult problem.
Welcome. To the mysterious temple where the Chosen One gathers.
Eh? What is this?
My name is Hades.
A man who loves mysteries and is loved by mysteries.
What the hell are you doing, Ebata-kun?
No, it's bad, isn't it?
I feel like Ebatacchi's doing something
weird at midnight on a Friday.
I mean, isn't this the same mystery you guys solved back in the past?
Yes, yes. The question is given on some news app, and only those
hmm... who can solve it will be invited to Zoom.
I just found it by accident.
Because it's a mystery I've solved before, I can normally just solve it by myself.
I took a peek without showing my face, and this is what I found.
He seems to be the type of person who needs the approval of other people.
For sure.
I told him before that he should try live streaming,
but Hades?
It's too exciting.
Ah, hey, I'd better keep my mouth shut about this, right?
Hmm... No, just tell him.
I want to see Ebata-kun's face when he finds out he's been exposed.
Damn. The morals of the future people are bad.
But Ebatacchi's working hard in his own way,
so it's not right to make fun of him.
Ah, you're already here, Fujita-san.
You're the one who's making fun.
- Making fun of who? - Ah, no, no.
But Ebata-kun, as expected... that was...
What was that? What is it that you think I've done?
- No, that's why. - Ah, no, no, no!
I want to see some more. I want to see this week. I want to see that!
I don't blame you.
You have to teach me that news app you showed me earlier, too.
What are you messing around with?
I'm sure there is a bug somewhere in the past.
Come on, hurry up and get to the point.
This time, the bug occurs in Japan in 1940.
It seems to have some influence on the life of that Dazai Osamu.
Dazai... another eminent figure who seems to be a pain in the ass.
You're not being honest, Ebatacchi.
Let's go quickly and find a good mystery. Okay?
So what the hell is that?

- Oh, did he say "Dazai Osamu"? - Yes.
What makes him such a pain in the ass?
Ah, you don't know.
Even without the bug,
He's the kind of writer who's tried to kill himself over and over again.
That certainly would make him a pain in the ass.
Yes. I heard that he once tried to
commit suicide together with the woman he loved,
and only he survived. - Huh? What the hell? Isn't that awful?
Why would someone want to die with a man like that?
I heard that he was very popular with the girls.
No way. He's the worst.
The worst. W & orst.
If a guy asks me to die with him, I'll probably dump him in a second.
- Wait, I'll punch him. - Well.
But then again, he got a new wife around that time,
his personal life was pretty stable,
and he was writing a lot of cheerful works,
hmm... more or less.
Ah, there's someone there.
Wait, is that Dazai?
- Wait, he's with a lady! - Eh?
Ah, no, that's his wife.
Are the two of them walking together or something?
What is that? Pills?
This is bad, they are gonna take poison and drown themselves.
- We have to stop it! - Eh? Oh.
STOP!
What is it with you people?
You're Dazai-sensei, aren't you?
What the hell are you doing?
Please let me die peacefully.
Dazai Osamu
This is the last wish of this wretched writer's miserable life.
Huh? What are you talking about?
Think about the feelings of the people you're going out with.
I'm ready to take my wife with me.
I'm sorry.
I am still afraid of dying.
Michiko?
I can't deal with you anymore!
Ah!
Why in the world would you do this at a time when things are going so well?
Going so well?
I hope that's sarcasm or something.
I'm tired of living
in a world where I'm constantly
being humiliated for writing stupid crap.
Crap?
If you can't call it crap, then what can you call it?
"Which ones to read"?
"Melos was furious,
but the champagne that his men drank
has some fecal matter in it.
Is that what he was supposed to endure?
Last night, I was certainly
at my desk with a bottle of sake for dinner.
But when I woke up the next morning, I found that my manuscript was in a mess.
My talent as a writer
had long been exhausted.
- This is it, isn't it? - Yes.
This is probably the bug.
"Which ones to read"
Does it mean that if you read any of the sentences,
you will get the answer?
No. But which ones to read?
Which ones should I read?
That's what you're supposed to be thinking about.
Don't you think you've been throwing everything at us lately?
If you're going to give people a mystery,
at least make it one you've solved.
Huh?
Eh?
Ah, no... It's nothing. It's nothing.
Ah, I'll think of an answer too.
If I don't, it's like I'm cheating if I join
the people who solved it correctly.
What the hell was that all about?
Hey, hey, Osamu!
There's no need for you to be so worried about it.
It's not that you've lost your talent or anything.
- Ah, that's... - Don't make me feel better.
The words you say to me, when you think of me, hurt me.
Huh?
No, I'm not saying that with you in mind.
I'm telling you that you should
get your confidence back and go get your precious wife back!
I'm not the one you should be breaking up with here.
Is that what you really want?
How sinful of me... to let a woman lie to me.
No, I'm not lying.
Take a look.
- The sky is full of stars. - Huh?
In the pitch-black night sky,
Each of the countless stars is shining brightly.
If it were possible, I would like to be one of those stars.
It's frustrating that
I'm wishing for this, but all I can do is sink into the darkness.
When I think of
the people I'm supposed to be shining the light on,
it fills me with a sense
of unworthiness and apology.
Osamu.
You don't have to think like that.
Even a star can only shine if it is illuminated, you know?
Without someone to illuminate Osamu, Osamu can't shine either!
Are you going to shine a light on me?
If it's okay with you...
Hey!
Whoa!
Huh! What was I doing just now?
- What was I doing just now? - What the hell are you doing?
I suddenly felt the need to protect Osamu.
I thought you said you don't want a man like that.
I thought so, but...
It is a terrifying Osamu magic!
