hat and bandage

detective agency.

It was completely different from the previous appearance of hastily evacuated because of the combination battle, as if it had been washed away. After everyone worked together to clean up and decorate, this small studio suddenly became tidy and clean.

"Hygiene is ok, balloons are ok, gifts are ok... Well, very good, the last piece of space is also decorated, now we will wait for tomorrow to proceed as planned."

Kunikida Doppo took a pen and sketched in his notebook, then looked around and nodded with satisfaction, "Tomorrow at 08:30, everyone will gather on time, Atsushi will bring Kyoka here at nine o'clock, don't be late, If you have nothing to do now, go back and rest early, thank you everyone."

"Speaking of which, where's Nakaya-kun?" Kunikida frowned after finishing speaking, and snapped the notepad in his hand, "Aren't you going to find Dazai?"

She was no stranger to Xie Ye, "He hasn't come back since he left."

"It seems to be the second situation, ha, brother, I won." Naomi threw herself on Mr. Tanizaki's back with a smile, and slowly slid a finger across Mr. Tanizaki's cheek from top to bottom, Naomi was ambiguous With a drawn-out tone, "You lost, you lost—what kind of punishment should I give my brother?"

Tanizaki Junichiro: "I lost, hey, wait, wait - Naomi!!"

One of the biggest sources of visual pollution in the detective agency, the Tanizaki brothers and sisters got tired of being together again. The brother who was thrown by the sister struggled symbolically, and then lay flat on the sofa with a weak groan.

Yosano stretched out his hand to cover Ochako's ears as usual, and made people turn around, "Don't look, Ochako, it's too early for you at 14 years old."

Ochako: "???"

In short, although Nakahara Chu is also the only one who can make Dazai come back obediently, this is not an inevitable situation.

When dispatching to catch a bandage waste device that always likes to skip work and be lazy, and can always slip away cunningly under the eyes of everyone, there are often two situations. Well, or knocked out with a punch and dragged back. The second is that Chuya himself was abducted by Osamu Dazai, and one person skipped work to become two people. It is worth mentioning that these two situations happen quite often. , the probability is about [-]-[-].

The first situation is the most ideal. If Dazai is brought back, even if the other party is passive and sabotage, he will finish writing the report slowly under the supervision of his cold-faced lover, but if the second situation unfortunately happens—well, That's no problem, after all, Mr. Nakahara Chuya, who works hard, will always apologize with a guilty face, and then finish the work owed by him and Dazai, and the efficiency will be doubled because of the guilt, and the quality will not be good at all. will fall.

Therefore, it is a killer card that only makes money and does not lose money.

This is a rare conscience.

Kunikida was heartbroken, why was he abducted by Dazai.

Seeing that the conscientious member of their detective agency seemed to be abducted again by the king of fishing, Kunikida grumbled reluctantly, but didn't say anything more.

No matter what, it is a rare time to relax after the war. Everyone is exhausted from fighting wits and courage, and there is no work to do for the time being, so let them go for a while.

Kunikida let out a breath, and the deafening sound came from not far from the next door, which directly startled everyone present.

"Go to hell, you bastard—"

The crackling sound of various porcelain and glass was accompanied by a desperate roar, and the sound of footsteps was unrestrained, and even because of emotions, one sound was louder than the other, and the ground trembled like an earthquake.

Naomi poked her head out cautiously from the sofa: "Enemy, enemy attack?"

No one said anything, and all stared at the direction of the door with wide eyes. As the footsteps became clearer, Zhong Yuanzhong, who had a gloomy face and fierce eyes, also hurried past the door.

"Chu—" Kunikida just uttered a sound.

The orange-haired little gentleman didn't even look at him, and he didn't seem to notice anyone else at all. His expression was as terrifying as a beast, his pupils were constricted, and he stared forward. His eyes were dull and dazed, his eyes were unfocused, and his face was slightly pale. Pale, still pursing her lower lip tightly, she walked straight through the door without looking back.

Vaguely, it seems that the cracks that have been stepped on the floor tiles can still be seen. It seems that the situation is caused by the unconscious activation of subtle abilities due to emotional reasons.

"...Chuya-kun?"

Kunikida seemed to be slow, as the figure left his sight, his voice lowered a little bit, and at the end, he took on a confused tone.

Edogawa Ranbo, who was holding a balloon, opened his eyes suddenly, his emerald eyes stared at the door seriously, and his expression became solemn.

"Oops, it doesn't look like the usual two situations this time."

The detective said seriously, "Chuya and Dazai had a fight."

"Aren't they quarreling all the time?" Xianzhi said with an optimistic smile, "But they reconciled in about three days? The longest record of their quarrel is only one week."

"But this time it seems very serious." Tanizaki-san hugged his sister tightly, and seemed taken aback by Chuya's appearance, "It's the first time I saw such a terrifying expression on Chuya-san's face. "

"Ala, could it be that Dazai really pissed him off this time?" Xie Ye raised his eyebrows and said without any worries, "Is it finally time to break up?"

"Then I agree with both hands." Kunikida pushed his glasses, took the conversation, and didn't feel sorry for Dazai's words at all, "Then I will sincerely wish Nakaya-sama next time to find a virtuous woman, Dazai's kind of bastard is not capable at all. The type to spend a lifetime together."

Yu Xieye nodded and added: "If you consider sexual orientation, a serious and responsible man is also fine."

"About this, I personally think that Chuuya's sexual orientation is normal, it's just that Dazai forcibly bends it. I remember when I took the commission with Chuya, I casually asked him about the type of object he admired. And the first answer is also a slightly older and gentle Japanese woman."

Mr. Tanizaki touched his head, and smiled a little embarrassedly after speaking, "At that time, I didn't know that Chuya and Mr. Dazai were in a partnership."

"Wow, when did you ask?" Naomi covered her mouth and reached out to pinch her brother's face, "Fortunately, Mr. Dazai didn't know, although he looks like a human, but he is quite narrow-minded and jealous character."

Knowing that you asked Mr. Chuya such a question, I will definitely give you small shoes for you to wear!

Mr. Tanizaki, whose face was pinched, could not speak clearly, "So, at that time, I didn't know they were together."

"What I'm more concerned about is, if this is the case, why is Chuya still with Dazai?" Yosano was a little surprised, "Sure enough, he was deceived by Dazai, right?"

——In other words, loving you is not because of gender, but just because that person is you.

This possibility is a little bit higher, the two of them don't seem to be born with distorted sexual orientation, they just met each other by chance.

...But it was too nasty, and Ms. Xie Ye refused to say it physically and mentally. Anyway, everyone knew this kind of thing well, even if they were teasing, no one would think that the two would really break up.

A group of people started discussing heartlessly, one person after another, completely ignoring the content of the quarrel with Dazai, after all, once the two get together, they are childish, and they can get angry like elementary school students for even a little thing , even though it seemed a little serious this time, they still thought it would subside after a while.

Luanbu puffed up his cheeks, and interrupted loudly, "But this time it's really serious."

Everyone respects the famous detective in his 20s who still has the personality of a child, because Mr. Edogawa has never missed anything.

"It's almost to the point of breaking up! Although I don't want to care about their love life, but this time, if they break up, Zhong will leave the detective agency and never come back!"

Luanbu said out loud what he was most worried about, with a dejected expression, like a cat owner who is worried about the departure of his favorite excrement officer:

"No, I can leave if I don't want to!"

Nakahara Chuya and Edogawa Ranpo get along very well. Both of them have straight-forward characters. In addition, Chuya always has [-]% patience with reliable companions. Not only can he play with the childish Mr. Ranpo In the game, you can also take time out to accompany the other party when they are arguing to go out to play, and it is easy to be soft-hearted and unable to bear the spoils, give what you want at random steps, raise it high, buy snacks when you buy them, and spoil your strength.

Mr. Ranpo, who is extremely smart, is accompanied by Chuya, who has an explosive force value, and he can literally fly outside.

Moreover, in Ranpo's eyes, Nakahara Nakaya himself looks too cool. When he occasionally accidentally joins the local gangster case, Mr. Ranpo can always offend everyone in a few words, and then decisively He hid behind Nakaya, looked at the handsome little friend 1VN with bright eyes, and beat all the bad guys to the ground with a few kicks.

It's so cool, it's a super satisfied little partner, that's right.

So now that his little partner showed signs of leaving the detective agency, Mr. Ranpo's cheeks immediately bulged.

But even with the wisdom to see through the truth at a glance, Mr. Ranpo is still at a loss as to how to deal with the emotional problems between lovers.

There are things that he sees through but can't solve alone, and Luanbu immediately speaks out to his colleagues bluntly, trying to quickly form an action team to retain Zhongye in the Central Plains.

Ranpo-san, who already knew the origins of Chuya and Dazai, didn't want Chuya to go back to the Mafia.

"Isn't it!?" Hearing that Chuka might leave, Kunikida immediately widened his eyes, "Did Dazai really make a big fuss this time?"

Even if you have to leave one, it can't be the conscientious Mr. Zhongye!

Kunikida screamed in his heart like the famous painting worth a billion dollars—this kind of conscientious employee who can complete the commission well, submit the report on time, and be serious and responsible is gone!

"What should we do?" Naomi covered her mouth, "Should we go to the group and tie Mr. Dazai here to make him apologize?"

Yosano: "First of all, we must find out why they are arguing?"

Kenji: "It doesn't look like the same small conflict as before. If we don't know the reason, we can't help it."

Kunikida: "I see, I will contact Dazai to clarify the matter now."

Realizing that something was wrong, the blond man immediately took out his mobile phone, but did not wait for him to dial the number.

"You don't need to interfere."

Dazai Osamu who came over at some point stood at the door, with one hand in the pocket of the sand-colored windbreaker, and the other hand clutching Chuya's black glove. His whole body seemed to be melted into the shadows, silently. There was a tinge of fear in his voice.

The handsome man's left cheek was red and swollen with terrible bruises, as if he had been punched hard by someone, but he turned his eyes indifferently, and the shadow brought by the drooping eyelids drove away all the brilliance, breeding The iris-colored pupils with boundless chill were indifferent and dead silent, as if nothing could be reflected in his eyes.

It's not the same as Chu, who leaked out his emotions neatly and startled people with his turbulent aura like raging flames. At this time, Dazai is more like a cold glacier hidden in the dark, eerie and quiet but exudes a sense of existence that cannot be ignored. People feel creepy in their bones.

Except for some who knew about it long ago, the rest of the detective agency members also learned about the past occupations of Dazai and Chuya during the team battle. They didn't care much about it before, and they didn't really realize the former mafia members until now. meaning.

No matter how bright and gentle Nakahara Nakahara is at ordinary times, no matter how unscrupulous Dazai Osamu is, these two people used to be members of the port mafia, people who came out of that darkest world.

"Dazai, you're going too far."

In the silence, Mr. Ranbu opened his eyes and looked at the man. He propped his cheeks and said seriously, "Zhong is also very angry and sad."

"Hush." ​​Dazai stretched out a finger between his lips to gesture, tilted his head expressionlessly, and spoke in a very soft tone, standing in the shadows like a half-threatening advice from the undead: "Ranbu Sir, whether it is me or Chuya, there is no possibility of turning back now."

"Don't interfere, this is our business."

"..." Luanbu was not very happy, narrowed his eyes, snorted heavily, and turned his head childishly.

"It's okay, I can swear on my life that I will definitely keep Chuya."

Dazai showed the same smile as usual, but his eyes were slightly gloomy and dangerous, even if it looked a little funny because of the injury on his cheek, it didn't detract from his charm in the slightest.

"..." Luanbu paused for a while and fell into silence.

"I don't want your lives."

The detective tried his best to hold back his words, his cheeks were bulging round, he looked quite uncomfortable, he seemed to be doing some kind of psychological struggle, and he said in frustration after a long while, "I see, I will keep it a secret. "

"So, you and Zhong have to reconcile quickly, you must reconcile!" Luanbu emphasized loudly.

"Thank you."

Dazai got the answer he wanted, and his expression was obviously a little more relaxed. He bent his eyes and didn't answer directly. He just waved his hand after a simple thank you, and continued to walk away.

The sand-colored windbreaker made a wave following the opponent's movements, and disappeared completely.

"What's going on, what kind of charades are you playing?"

Yosano, who was confused, frowned and asked, looking at Mr. Edogawa Ranpo.

However, Luanbu kept his head on the table unhappily as he said before, his cheeks bulged from the beginning to now, but he never said a word again.

The author has something to say: Mr. Ranpo is super cute.

There is a small detail, foreshadowing, it will not be revealed until the end, but many people in the comment area are so smart _(:з」∠)_But! !Even if someone guesses right, I won't answer directly, hehe!chirp!Goo! (From the last stubborn QwQ of an author who can't arrange conspiracy theories at all).
