Dazai, seems you've stabilized lately.

Dazai Osamu icon

Haruo-sensei, you can tell, huh?! I really have been feeling that way!
Just from eating delicious food and going to bed in peace can make a person so healthy and happy - what an amazing revelation!
Who knows if this'll shatter my identity eventually, but what do you think about the new me, Haruo-sensei!

Satou Haruo icon

Well, there are some parts of you that'll never change, so...
I'm thinking about the other day when you came crying to me, begging to lend you money.
Reminded me that you used to do this in the old days, too.

Dazai Osamu icon

Ah, those times...! Those were just slight mistakes on my part...

Satou Haruo icon

Calm down. Well, I do think you're growing up bit by bit, maybe we can call it you finally becoming "Passable as Human".

Dazai Osamu icon

Ha-Haruo-sensei praised me...! Yaysies...

Satou Haruo icon

...Dazai, I used to think you were only capable of ruin. But now it's different.
All kinds of things are changing little by little.
Like how you can write that kind of novel, now. You and me both.

Dazai Osamu icon

Sobs... Thank you very much...

Satou Haruo icon

Hey, don't cry!

Dazai Osamu icon

...I've finally come to be able to think it might be okay for me to stay here.

Satou Haruo icon

Huh! you just now realized this...
Then you'd better not forget that thing you're feeling right now!

Hakushuu-sensei, why won't you reply to my letters... Even though I sent them again and again... Asking you to please reply...
I even sent you finished poems... Is it because my talent has all dried up...?

Kitahara Hakushuu icon

So basically, since you couldn't contain yourself, you came directly to speak with me?

Hagiwara Sakutarou icon

Eh, ah, th-that's... not true, it's just that... I can't... I can't write poems, and...

Kitahara Hakushuu icon

Jeez. What do you think this is?

Hagiwara Sakutarou icon

C-could it be... A reply!?

Kitahara Hakushuu icon

No, it's not. It's the poems you've sent me up until now.
I gathered up all the good ones, but haven't gotten the chance to return them to you until now.
I heard from the librarian that you've been holing up in your room, so I thought this was a good time to return them.

Hagiwara Sakutarou icon

These... Sobs... Sensei... Ghuhh, thank you very much...

Kitahara Hakushuu icon

Isn't it your job to have confidence in the work you've done? You should not bother people with each and every one.

Hagiwara Sakutarou icon

Sobs... Sniff sniff... Hakushuu-sensei...

Kitahara Hakushuu icon

It seems you've holed up in your room so long you've forgotten how to have a conversation with somebody.
Well, it's good that you at least came out of your room. It's a step forward for you.

Mori Ougai icon

Oh, it's nothing, really. It's just the strong emotions I developed in my role as a doctor.
You're usually raring to go all the time, but you were pretty messed up when you were brought in the other day.

Tayama Katai icon

Shimazaki Touson icon

Kunikida Doppo icon

Alrighty then, let's print a newspaper. It's been a while. Well, let's leave out the trivial complaints and such, though.

Shimazaki Touson icon

That's right, I guess everyone will be able to see the good work we usually do.

Kunikida Doppo icon

I can see right through you. I'll hear out your troubles.

Masamune Hakuchou icon

I've got no troubles. True, sometimes I wondered who this version of me existing here really is.
And I've come to the conclusion that I exist here as one of the Naturalists.
That's my understanding of it. To be honest, it's obvious that people would perceive me differently from how I see myself.

Kunikida Doppo icon

....Haha, that's true, that's how the world is.

Masamune Hakuchou icon

Doppo...I've wanted to say this before, but it's no use poking your nose where it doesn't belong.

Kunikida Doppo icon

Huh? Are you looking down on my kindness?

Masamune Hakuchou icon

No. I'm grateful, so I will offer some kindness of my own.
Your worrying about others is a virtue, but there's no use doing that for me.

Kunikida Doppo icon

Huh, so you're saying you don't need my advice...that hurts...

Masamune Hakuchou icon

Yes, that's why I wondered if I should say it to you. You're free to give that concern of yours to others.

Haruo-san, listen to me for a second. Before, I was talking about how I wanted a "stimulus" for writing a nice novel, right?

Satou Haruo icon

...Now that you mention it, I guess you were. You were going on about the ideal woman or something.

Tanizaki Junichirou icon

Yes, and so I went to Librarian-san for advice.
And when I did, they suggested that I treat that insatiable greed as a lust for creation.

Satou Haruo icon

Yeah, yeah. So what exactly did you want me to respond to such an obvious thing?

Tanizaki Junichirou icon

No, it's just that I had such an epiphany and I was thinking about how I wanted to share it with someone.
My thirst has never been satisfied to this day, so I never even began to imagine this conclusion.

Satou Haruo icon

Jeez. You are such a blissful fella, you should really have more self-awareness.
Look all around you, it's full of dudes who fell in love with the girl of their dreams who they made up in their head and doesn't exist in real life and were satisfied.

Tanizaki Junichirou icon

Well, I do suppose so... Everyone else is suffering as well. I never realized.

Satou Haruo icon

I think it's a bit different than what you're going through, but anyway...
You've broken some new ground, so I guess you can write something nice now.

Tanizaki Junichirou icon

Yes, I am relieved.
I'll try writing while strongly wishing to be reincarnated into a beautiful woman's shoe, if reincarnation exists...

I can't let my guard down around you. You think of everyone's things as your own possessions.

Miyoshi Tatsuji icon

Kaji, you're the one who thinks "things that aren't me" are "me" as well!
Weren't you looking at the lemon exactly the same as how you look at yourself in the mirror?

Kajii Motojirou icon

My my, why are you always making the most self-righteous comebacks?
If you want it so bad, then you should go get one from Librarian as well. I'm sure they will give you your own lemon.

Kuchi Kikan is a pun off Kikuchi Kan's name which means "Doesn't listen"

Yoshikawa Eiji icon

I said it so that you could hear me. Librarian said it too, that you should hold back from gambling, Kikuchi.

Kikuchi Kan icon

What's with that librarian, did they only say that about me?
You do it too, don'tcha, and you're pretty good at it.

It's that "Kuchi Kikan" attitude that stands out, probably.
Moreover, I only accompany you whenever you say there's a place you want to go. *

Yup, these are tasty. Reminds me of the past. Makes me wanna just go on a trip somewhere...

You just hit me with a fast ball on the ending note with that "I wanna travel!"... Kinda wanted more of a clever twist.

Natsume Souseki icon

Goodness, you're so demanding.

Masaoka Shiki icon

What are you talking about. Haikus only have 17 syllables, and I can't have you letting a single one go to waste!
Unnecessary words or expressions are as ugly to me as seeing a person with an apple-sized "lump" on their head!
Just the slightest compromise busts the entire haiku's harmony to pieces.

Yes. I thought that I wanted to become like you, Shouyou-san. However, in the end there will always be those people I just don't like who irritate me...
Not just that, but I even get angry at people who I get along with, or accidentally say mean things and such, even though I try to be careful.

Tsubouchi Shouyou icon

Ah... I suppose you have misunderstood me.
I was not trying to imply that you must get along with everyone, Bimei-kun.
Nor do I believe that you must not ever say something mean to people you are close with.

Ogawa Bimei icon

Eh...? But you were the one who said it is also enjoyable to be manipulated by others, Shouyou-san.

Tsubouchi Shouyou icon

Yes. I do believe that it's very human to be manipulated by the emotions of others, that's why.
However, to have some leeway when it comes to yourself is different than just accomodating the people you spend time with.

Hey, Sensei, isn't it enough already?

What might you be talking about?

Satomi Ton icon

It's about Shuusei-san.

Izumi Kyouka icon

So that's what this is about. Why are you trying to get between me and Shuusei?

Satomi Ton icon

T-that's because...

Izumi Kyouka icon

Did someone ask you to do so?

Satomi Ton icon

Kyouka-sensei saying something like that is outrageous! We are in the middle of serious events,
so what I want to say is that it's important for everyone to work together and get along in this library. *
Ton had a reputation as sociable personality, who had many friends and he knew many fellow authors. He would talk even with unknown people in parties if they seemed lonely, and he didn't particularly hate even ones like Kikuchi Kan, who he had three big literary disputes with.

Izumi Kyouka icon

Getting so worked up like that, you are now even more suspicious. *
At one point Kyouka's brother was poor and in dire need of money, but due to their strained relationship, he couldn't directly ask Kyouka. Instead, he went to ask Ton to go get money from his brother, but Kyouka was suspicious and refused to give Ton any money. Ton went back home with unfortunate news to Kyouka's brother, but the same evening got a surprise visit from Kyouka, who had changed his mind and gave the man some money, asking him to deliver it to his brother. Ton was also between Kyouka and Shuusei, at times asked by Shuusei to do some favors. However, Kyouka didn't want to be in touch with Shuusei towards the end of his life to the point Shuusei had asked Ton how he could get in touch and find peace with Kyouka, to which Ton answered that his last chance would be at Kyouka's deathbed some day, as he couldn't believe them to get along after so many years of negativity. Shuusei never got such a chance however, as Kyouka refused to let Shuusei see him die and respecting his teacher, Ton didn't inform Shuusei when the last hours were at hand. Their brief meeting at Kyouka's house after the man's death was bitter and Ton felt sorry for Shuusei.

Satomi Ton icon

Eh... I-is something wrong, Sensei?

Izumi Kyouka icon

Ah no, because you are making such a serious face... Fufu, I thought it was amusing.

Izumi Kyouka icon

I'm not angry at Shuusei anymore.

Izumi Kyouka icon

Yes. Since arriving here, my chances to talk with Shuusei have increased.
If things are about to get heated up, the Librarian will come between us.
There's nothing for you to worry about.

Satomi Ton icon

So does that mean you don't dislike Shuusei-san anymore!?

Izumi Kyouka icon

Well... We don't get along as always. But I think he's fine if he isn't too much in my sight.

Satomi Ton icon

I'm so glad... I've been always so worried about you two.

Izumi Kyouka icon

However, the way our relationship has been up to this point, I'm not particularly bothered by it.

Satomi Ton icon

Eh? Then, doesn't that mean nothing has changed...?

Izumi Kyouka icon

I'm fine with that. It's our duty to work the way as Kouyou-sensei wants us to work, after all. *
As it has been mentioned many times in other recollections and Kyouka's trivia, he was devoted to Kouyou to the point his relationship with Shuusei got strained, as Shuusei criticized Kouyou's ways of teaching. One example of their teacher's power is Kyouka couldn't get married until after Kouyou's death. However, he remained more or less loyal to Kouyou after the man's death and at times talked about him to Ton, who never had a chance to meet his teacher's mentor.
