Sensei, it is an honor to be able to meet you again.

Natsume Souseki icon

Same goes for me, Ryuunosuke-kun. It is a pity I died before I could watch you grow up.

Akutagawa Ryuunosuke icon

I kept agonizing over it, wondering why I did not live more fully during that time.

Natsume Souseki icon

Since you were so precocious, even if I weren't there, you would still soon be able to stand out, no?

Akutagawa Ryuunosuke icon

That might be the case.
However, thanks to the time I spent with you, I was able to become this novelist standing before you right now. That will not change.

Natsume Souseki icon

I'm glad to hear you say so.
Right, since we have finally been reincarnated, let me read another of your works.

Akutagawa Ryuunosuke icon

...That's right.
There is nothing I feel confident enough about to show you, though.

Natsume Souseki icon

Is that so? What do you mean by that?

Akutagawa Ryuunosuke icon

....No, please forget what I said.
Yes, I have some I think you would like. I would very much appreciate it if you tell me your impressions of them.

Akutagawa Ryuunosuke icon

...... Who's there?

Shimazaki Touson icon

Oh, I've been discovered.
I was just collecting data on how you normally act...... Fail.

Akutagawa Ryuunosuke icon

So it is you.
I'll take this chance to tell you this - I really dislike people like you.

I can't stand your inquiring spirit which disregards the circumstances until it becomes quite unpleasant, and your self-centered way of thinking.

Shimazaki Touson icon

...... I see. Your thorough devotion to art for art's sake
Is also something that I guess I can really only see as hypocrisy.

Akutagawa Ryuunosuke icon

You're really laying it on me......
For me, even if art becomes my downfall, I do not plan to drag down those around me.

Shimazaki Touson icon

I see you are quite talented at self-justification.

Akutagawa Ryuunosuke icon

Not as talented as you.

Shimazaki Touson icon

Hmm, so you're aware of it......
I've now actually spawned more of an interest in people like you.

Akutagawa Ryuunosuke icon

Please don't, I'd really rather not have you stalking me.

Dazai Osamu icon

Akutagawa-sensei...... is seriously a god...... mutter mutter.......

Ibuse Masuji icon

Yo, Dazai, got a moment?

Dazai Osamu icon

What is it, Ibuse-sensei?

Ibuse Masuji icon

I've been thinking, I'm your master, right?
Don't you think you might treat me with little regard?

Dazai Osamu icon

Not in the slightest!
The first time I read your writings, I got so excited I almost couldn't stay sitting!

Ibuse Masuji icon

Yes, I know. But you say, Akutagawa Ryuunosuke is your god, right?
The book you're reading now is Akutagawa's, furthermore, I haven't seen you holding a book of mine even once.

Dazai Osamu icon

Ibuse-sensei, your amazingness and Akutagawa-sensei's amazingness are in totally different dimensions! They cannot be compared!
Akutagawa-sensei is holy ground that is sacred and inviolable, but on the other hand, I will never define your amazingness for ever!
Not that I can't, but I won't! Would you understand?

Ibuse Masuji icon

Uh, really... I see...... My bad......

Kume Masao icon

...... Natsume-sensei, I'll be taking my leave now.
I'm grateful you've spared time for someone like me.

Natsume Souseki icon

None of this "someone like me" business. You always use that phrase, but it doesn't sit well with me.
Self-deprecation will just make regular people perplexed about how to respond to you.

Kume Masao icon

...... Yes, my apologies. I'll be more careful.

Natsume Souseki icon

Not that. It is but my concern for you.
If you go on like this, you would truly end up wasting your own talent.

Kume Masao icon

...... Sensei, please tell me. How should I recover my self-esteem he has wounded?

Natsume Souseki icon

...... Didn't I once tell you two? That move forward a little at a time, easy like an ox......
You surely have the strength to do that much. *
From his correspondence to both Akutagawa and Kume, Natsume once wrote, "It's important to press forward swiftly like an ox".

Kume Masao icon

Are you telling me to move on?

Natsume Souseki icon

Now should be the time. Both he and I are here after all.

Kume Masao icon

...... Thank you so much, Sensei.

Akutagawa Ryuunosuke icon

Hey, Matsuoka. About the story picture scroll you showed me the other day......
It seems I've been bewitched by the charm of those pictures.

Matsuoka Yuzuru icon

Now that you mention it, you were staring at them quite passionately.

Akutagawa Ryuunosuke icon

Yes. Your eye for things is always something to behold. I've been to that store a number of times myself...... It bothers me that I never noticed it.
When I view it in a state where it's displayed properly, the brilliant colors and the tension of the scene really strikes you.

Matsuoka Yuzuru icon

It is actually a bit of a coincidence that I obtained this picture scroll.
I am even more glad that I did, seeing how much you like it.

Akutagawa Ryuunosuke icon

Yes, and I actually have a favor to ask......
Could you possibly let me hold on to it? It fits the plot of a story I'm thinking of perfectly.

Akutagawa Ryuunosuke icon

Please, Matsuoka! I'll give you something equivalent in return, I promise!

Matsuoka Yuzuru icon

............ I understand. If you want it that badly, then I shall hand it over to you.

Akutagawa Ryuunosuke icon

Is it really okay?

Matsuoka Yuzuru icon

Yes. In actuality, I personally was starting to find the graphic portrayal of those pictures a bit frightening.
It will still be in the library, so I don't mind letting someone else hold onto it.

Akutagawa Ryuunosuke icon

Thank you so much! You can come over and view it whenever you want, okay?
