Tomie's Son Dazai[Comprehensive]

He forgot something.

Ranpo Edogawa, who was eating with a snack, thought with certainty.

He was half lying on the chair lazily, looking foolish.But no one at the Armed Detective Agency could blame him for it.Not only because Edogawa Ranpo has such a character, but also because he is the axis of the entire detective agency, a man who can see through the truth of things only by his own reasoning ability instead of supernatural powers.

And such Edogawa Ranpo has been worrying about one thing recently, which made even the limited snacks in the next street fail to calm Edogawa Ranpo's frowning eyebrows.

"Mr. Ranpo seems to be in a bad mood recently." Tanizaki Junichiro said in a low voice while secretly looking at the low-pressure Edogawa Ranpo over there.

"It's not like, it's just that I'm in a bad mood." Yosano Akiko laughed and said, "It's been a long time since I've seen Mr. Ranpo look so depressed."

Tanizaki Naomi blinked when she heard this, and the beautiful girl pointed to Kunikida Doppo who was struggling to complete the documents, and said, "Actually, Mr. Kunikida has been very depressed recently."

Looking at Kunikida Doppo's look of wanting to grow eight hands to work, he and Yosano Akiko were silent for a while, and said, "It's really depressed."

According to Kunikida Doppo's temperament, on the contrary, when he is more depressed, he will work so hard that people wonder whether he will evolve into the ultimate version of a social animal in the next second.

Kenji Miyazawa thought for a while, put his finger on his chin, the natural but unexpectedly sharp boy said: "In my opinion, I think the atmosphere of the detective agency is not very good recently, like..."

"Like something is missing."

he said blankly.

"What's missing..." The few people who were still chatting fell silent.

Indeed, it was obviously still the usual routine.But there is always an inexplicable feeling of emptiness in my heart, as if the extremely familiar things that exist around me are gone.

Everyone sorted out their memories repeatedly in silence, and they were quite sure that the Armed Detective Agency was the same as before, with nothing missing or added.

But in a trance, they always seem to see some strange and familiar figures, and when they try to see clearly, they find that everything is just an illusion.

Several people couldn't help showing a blank look.

And Edogawa Ranpo over there couldn't help it anymore. In order to vent the strange emotion in his heart, he ran directly to Kunikida Doppo and said, "Kunikida, give me a job to pass the time." case."

Kunikida Doppo, who was dizzy from work, barely broke free from the hell of work when he heard Edogawa Ranpo's voice. He said, "I see, Mr. Ranpo." While searching for Edogawa Ranpo Cases that may be of interest.

"I found it, this is it, I don't know if you will be interested, Mr. Ranpo." Kunikida Doppo said so, and handed the information in his hand to Edogawa Ranpo.

After Edogawa Ranpo reached out to take the document, he immediately saw through all the truth, and felt bored for a moment... But for some reason, there was a detective instinct that prompted him to take this task.

Edogawa Ranpo nodded, and said with some pride: "Let me, a famous detective, solve this case easily."

Seeing that he took it, Kunikida Doppo glanced at the other members of the detective agency—the armed detective agency also has many non-combatants besides the main force with supernatural powers, and Kunikida Doppo is going to pull one out to Jiang Togawa led the way at random, lest this famous detective who can't ride a tram get lost and go to nowhere.

Edogawa Ranpo glanced at him and said, "It's just you, Kunikida."

"Huh?" Kunikida Doppo blinked suspiciously, the dark circles under his eyes were heavy.Kunikida Doppo slowed down for two seconds before recovering, and said, "But I still have a lot of work to do..."

Edogawa stared at him in disarray.

"Okay." Kunikida Doppo raised his hands in surrender, and said, "I'll take you right away, Mr. Ranpo."

After finishing speaking, he was about to hand over the task in hand to others first, so he stood up and shouted: "d——"

"...?" Kunikida Doppo was stunned, his opened mouth closed before he could utter a complete syllable.

Noticing all this, Edogawa Ranpo narrowed his eyes.

And Kenji Miyazawa, who was on the side, noticed the movement here, took the initiative to come over, took the stack of documents in Kunikida Doppo's hand, and said, "Leave it to me, Mr. Kunikida."

Kunikida Doppo came back to his senses, pushed his glasses covertly, and said, "Then I'll leave it to you, Kenji."

Kunikida Doppo took Edogawa Ranpo out together.

By the time they finished solving the matter and bought a few snacks and came back, it was almost sunset time.

On the way back, the two passed a river.

"... the river." Kunikida Doppo couldn't help sighing inexplicably.

The beautiful river made a crisp sound as it flowed, and the setting sun dyed the whole world a warm orange red, and even the river was covered with a layer of light.

There is no doubt that this is a beautiful river that is pleasing to the eye, but Kunikida Doppo's heart has become inexplicably heavy.

"River." Edogawa Ranpo also sighed with him for some reason.

The two stopped together, quietly looking at the flowing river not far away.

At this moment, they suddenly saw a man lying on the river bank, his life and death unknown.

This made Kunikida Doppo frown and walked over.

There lay a white-haired boy, covered in gray, looking extremely desolate, lying on the ground, he didn't know if he was dead or not.

Before Kunikida Doppo could test whether the other party was dead or not, there was a hungry sound of "gurgling" suddenly coming from the boy's stomach.

The white-haired boy whose hands and feet were weak from hunger slowly raised his head and met Kunikida Doppo's eyes.

The white-haired boy: "..."

Kunikida Dobubu: "..."

"D—Atsushi." Kunikida Doppo looked at him, almost subconsciously shouted.

Atsushi Nakajima stared blankly at Kunikida Doppo, and murmured, "Why do you know my name?"

At this time, Edogawa, who had been thinking for a long time, suddenly opened his eyes wide.

"Dazai." He read the name blankly.

···

Atsushi Nakajima, the current young boy, is wandering in Juezan right now.

After being kicked out of the orphanage, he has been living a wandering life without enough food. Occasionally, he would meet some kind-hearted people who asked him to do some odd jobs, which allowed Atsushi Nakajima to live on... His memory That's what I told him.

But Atsushi Nakajima always felt that this should not be the case.

What should that be like?He couldn't tell either.

Atsushi Nakajima just thinks that he should already have a place that can accommodate him, a habitat and people that must be protected no matter what.

How is this possible?

—Maybe this is just my own deep delusion.

Atsushi Nakajima thought so.

But deep in my heart, there seemed to be a small person shouting desperately: No, this is not a delusion!

——You already have a place that can accommodate you, and you already have the meaning of being able to live!

Perhaps because of this naive and self-deceiving delusion deep in his heart, Atsushi Nakajima has been wandering by the river in recent days.He always felt that he might be able to find something here.

I didn't expect to see two very familiar men by the river.

It's embarrassing to say, Atsushi Nakajima almost cried at that moment, like a baby bird that has been away from the nest for a long time and finally found its home.

"Dazai." The man wearing a beret suddenly opened his eyes wide, and shouted these syllables in a barely audible voice.

...

...

...

Now, Nakajima Atsushi was really crying.

Tears overflowed from his eyes, and the white-haired boy suddenly burst into tears.

Kunikida Doppo, who was stunned by Edogawa Ranpo pronouncing the name, turned his head, looked at Atsushi Nakajima at a loss, and said in a panic, "Hey! Why are you crying?"

"I don't know." Atsushi Nakajima choked and said incoherently: "I don't know, I don't know, I just think..."

Found it, finally found it.

——The place where he should be, the place that accommodates him.

However, there should be someone else, an existence that is like family to Atsushi Nakajima, an existence that he wants to protect no matter what.The other is the person who helped him and gave him a place to live.

"There should be someone else." Nakajima Atsushi said, he stared straight at Kunikida Doppo with those beautiful amber eyes.

Kunikida Doppo frowned, and was about to say: "What do you mean there should be talented people?" Edogawa Ranpo next to him stared at him with an unprecedented serious expression, and said, "Kunikida, there are indeed talented people. One, no, two. Our armed detective agency is short of two men."

Kunikida Doppo opened his mouth, the words that came out of his mouth suddenly pierced his throat like a thorn, which made him feel unbearable pain.

"Go back to the detective agency." Edogawa Ranpo showed sharp eyes, and he said word by word: "There is an emergency meeting, I will go and explain to the president."

"By the way." Edogawa Ranpo pointed at Atsushi Nakajima, and said, "Remember to bring him with you."

"Bring the members of our armed detective agency." Looking at Atsushi Nakajima, Edogawa Ranpo said seriously.

···

"That is to say—our armed detective agency still lacks one person and all of us don't remember him." Tanizaki Junichiro asked, looking at Edogawa Ranpo who was sitting on the chair.

"No." Edogawa Ranpo pointed out the mistakes in his words, and said, "To be correct, there are two, one is wiped out of existence, but the other is wiped out of connection with us due to the butterfly effect. , just like Atsushi." Saying so, Edogawa Ranpo pointed at Atsushi Nakajima.

Atsushi Nakajima, who was suddenly pointed out, was surrounded by several people from the Armed Detective Agency, showing a somewhat bewildered expression.

Tanizaki Junichiro turned his head and suppressed his inexplicable desire to comfort Nakajima Atsushi. He said in a panic, "Is such a thing possible?"

"It's not possible, this kind of thing just happened." Edogawa Ranpo stood up, patted the table, and said very seriously.

"Don't you really feel that the detective agency seems to be missing something recently?"

The Armed Detective Agency fell into silence.

Yes, they all noticed it, but they all thought it was just an illusion.

Junichiro Tanizaki glanced at Atsushi Nakajima again.

The white-haired boy was sitting next to Kunikida Doppo cautiously. Tanizaki Junichiro should not have recognized him, but for some reason, he looked at the boy who called himself Atsushi Nakajima, and felt a very kind feeling in his heart.

It was as if the missing piece of the puzzle had finally been filled in.

But that's not all, there are people who should have appeared here.

At this moment, the secretary Haruno Qiluozi suddenly came over and said: A little girl appeared downstairs looking for the Armed Detective Agency. She said her name was Jinghua.

There was a snap.Tanizaki Junichiro seemed to hear that the puzzle piece in his heart was being put together again.

——With only the last piece left, the puzzle can be completed.

After bringing up the girl who claimed to be Izumi Kyoka, I don't know who suggested it first, and everyone started a discussion about what was missing in the end.

"...It doesn't feel so lively anymore." Yosano Akiko frowned, tapped her fingers on the table a few times, and she said, "That's right, it's like many things that you can see every day, such as the national It's over for Kida to go crazy."

"...Yoshino Doctor." Kunikida Doppo looked at Yosano Akiko with an indescribable expression.

She acted like she didn't see anything.

"In other words, that is a person who can create excitement." Edogawa Ranpo concluded.

Yosano Akiko nodded.

And Atsushi Nakajima, a homeless boy who should have been unfamiliar with the Armed Detective Agency, said, "Well, that's a gentle person."

When he said that, he scratched his cheek, looking a little embarrassed, but his expression was extremely gentle.

Kunikida Doppo paused for a moment, and said with a little hesitation: "Recently, the work has gone so smoothly, I always feel very uncomfortable."

"Should..." He murmured, "I don't know what it should be, but I just feel that it went too smoothly, and it was very uncomfortable."

Everyone: "..."

Feeling uncomfortable because work went so well, how did that missing person hurt you before? !

Fukuzawa Yukichi gave a dry cough and concluded, "So that's a..."

"The person who often makes trouble for me to clean up the mess." Kunikida Doppo pushed his glasses and said, "But I think that should also be a person who can decisively solve problems in times of crisis."

Kenji Miyazawa thought for a while, and said with a troubled face: "I don't know what to say, and I can't think of anything."

"Then what kind of people do you think our armed detective agency should need?" Seeing this, Edogawa Ranpo asked directly in a different way.

Miyazawa Kenji blinked and said, "He is as powerful as Mr. Ranpo."

Tanizaki Junichiro scratched his cheek with some embarrassment, and said, "I don't know what to say, after all, I don't have any memory about this person in my mind right now."

He paused, a very vague figure seemed to appear in his mind, but when Tanizaki Junichiro wanted to take a closer look, the figure disappeared again.

He paused for a moment, and said with certainty: "But I think that must be a very reliable and trustworthy person."

Quan Jinghua, who had been sitting silently beside Atsushi Nakajima since just now, opened her mouth, and in a trance, some voices seemed to flash in her mind.

It was a man's voice, full of calmness.

When did she hear this voice, and what did that voice say, Quan Jinghua didn't know.

It's just that it must have been very important words.

So Quan Jinghua said: "Very dangerous...but the person who said something important to me."

After Izumi Kyoka finished speaking, the rest subconsciously looked at Fukuzawa Yukichi.

The president of the detective agency was silent for a long time, then raised his head and said, "He is our important companion."

Everyone's eyes widened.

"Random steps." Fukuzawa Yukichi glanced at him.

Edogawa nodded in disorder, and when he stretched out his hand: "Then everything can be sorted out."

"There should indeed be a companion among us, but for some reason, he disappeared, his existence was also erased, and we have no memory of him. Even because of his disappearance, there was some butterfly effect. Atsushi and Kyunghwa are only now at the Armed Detective Agency."

The moment he saw Nakajima Atsushi and Izumi Kyoka, Edogawa Ranpo was very sure that the two of them were members of the Armed Detective Agency.

"And what I'm saying is, I don't know who that guy was, but I remember his name."

"Dazai, his name is Dazai."

"Dazai." Kunikida Doppo suddenly became agitated, he said the name several times, showing a dazed look.

"..." Atsushi Nakajima put his hands on the position of his heart while reading, he lowered his eyes, showed a shallow smile, and said: "I always feel that when I say this name, there is an incredible feeling in my heart." warmth."

"Although I have no memory now, I think that must be a very important person to me."

At this time, Haruno Kirako suddenly came in and said something extremely important.

"President!" She shouted in a panic, "Someone is coming outside!"

"Who is it?" Fukuzawa Yukichi asked.

"Port Mafia." Haruno Kirako said, unable to hide her shock in her words: "They said the leader is waiting for people from the Armed Detective Agency to go over."
