What Should I Do If a Mackerel Turns into a Mushroom Spirit?

Why do humans turn into mushrooms? Dazai couldn't understand it, no matter how hard he thought. He had clearly died in the rainy season a year ago, blown to pieces by a bomb.

But now he'd become a mushroom. Though he still looked human on the outside, he didn't bleed and could no longer feel pain.

His body was as fragile as a mushroom's, but even if his limbs were severed, they quickly grew back. And... he'd turned into the child he'd once been.

Mr. Mori found him again.

"Are you Dazai-kun?"

"I could be, or I might not be," Dazai replied.

So Mr. Mori fell silent.

The beautiful red-haired woman said, "You'd better hide. Chuuya will beat you up if he sees you."

Dazai asked, "What's Chuuya?"

This time, the woman fell silent too.

Dazai died. Then he came back as a mushroom in a child's body. He remembered everyone, except for his archenemy and former partner.
