Broken-up ex-boyfriends come back

After hearing this sentence, Oda Sakunosuke was relieved.

Then the other party went on to say——

"But Oda-san should have forgotten it."

"After all, normally speaking, I don't exist in your current memory."

Yakai Riho followed the other party to the curry shop reopened by the chubby boss.

Sitting at the table, she repeated to the smiling boss after ordering: "Please don't add spicy food, thank you."

"no problem."

The boss is obviously used to this request, and Oda Sakunosuke is a regular customer, so he naturally knows the taste of the other party.

"Is it possible for our memory to be restored?"

Oda Sakunosuke didn't have any surprises, after all, he had almost guessed this situation before.

"Not sure, after all, I don't know what the opportunity to restore the memory is."

Yakai Riho remembered the scene when he saw Osamu Dazai when he returned home.

"Speaking of which, Dazai said that the opportunity to restore his memory was eliminated four years ago, and it took four years to rediscover it..."

At that time, I was so shocked by the fact that Osamu Dazai regained his memory and came to the door that my brain was confused, so I didn't notice this place, but now I think about it a little bit.

"But I forgot to ask what that opportunity was before."

Oda Sakunosuke groaned for a moment after hearing this, and hesitated for a while before saying, "I might know something about this..."

"Ok?"

Yakai Riho looked over with some surprise.

"It should be a treasure map."

Speaking of this, Oda Sakunosuke paused for a moment, seemed a little uncertain, but continued.

"A while ago, Dazai came to look for me. The children of my family were there at the time. They secretly looked for each other behind my back. I don't know what they said. I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but Dazai left directly after that."

The black-haired young man who originally planned to ask him out for a drink put away his usual appearance after talking to those children, frowning slightly, looking a little absent-minded, while he was still wondering that the other party rarely showed such an expression , The black-haired young man suddenly asked nonchalantly, "Odasaku, do you still remember the treasure map four years ago?" ' in getting his dazed 'what treasure map? ' After answering, he said to him as if he couldn't wait,'Sorry, Oda, I'm afraid I can't do it today, I have something to confirm. ' and then left in a hurry.

After Osamu Dazai left, because he was a little concerned about the expression of the other party, he seriously asked the children what they said, but they looked more at a loss than himself, with a little guilt and hesitation.

Then Kosuke touched his nose and stood up.

"Didn't Mr. Dazai make a treasure map for Oda four years ago? We were a little curious after seeing it at the time, so we made a copy and prepared to go treasure hunting..."

The children who played this kind of treasure hunting game for the first time were very excited. After secretly copying a copy, they always tried to solve puzzles to find the treasure while Oda Sakunosuke was away.

In the end, of course, I haven’t found it all the time, and the treasure map has accumulated dust on the bottom of the box unknowingly. I couldn't help being curious, so I took advantage of this meeting to apologize and ask out.

However, to their surprise, the black-haired young man who always had a frivolous smile on his face and liked to strike up conversations with young ladies lost his smile after hearing this, and after they were terrified for a while, he spoke again——

"Can you show me your treasure map?"

Oda Sakunosuke was silent for a while after listening.

"The treasure map that Dazai gave me for safekeeping four years ago?"

"Yeah, Odasaku, have you forgotten?"

Shinji asked a little strangely.

"Did you Odasaku not only forget but also lost that treasure map?"

Yu looked at his guardian's appearance and hesitated.

"Eh? Really, it's too much."

Keji stuck his waist in and said outrageously like an adult.

"Yeah, if you lose it, it's better for Odasaku to apologize quickly."

Saki Le, who was the youngest and only girl, couldn't help but speak.

"makes sense."

Although Oda Sakunosuke didn't have any memory of the treasure map in his brain, and he was very sure that he hadn't forgotten it, he still stood up while saying so.

However, I couldn't find the time for the next few days. Osamu Dazai seemed to be busy all of a sudden. I asked everyone in the detective agency whether they suddenly received some difficult commissions. He never showed that expression, and obviously spent a lot of thought on it.

As the axis of the detective agency, Mr. Ranpo, who also has the ability to see the truth at a glance, didn't say anything about it. He just said "don't worry about him" and completely ignored it.

Then suddenly Osamu Dazai and Ranpo Edogawa both had the same ex-girlfriend.

The hot curry exuding an alluring aroma brought back Yakai Riho's thoughts.

"So the so-called opportunity is the treasure map?"

She held the spoon in one hand, but didn't start it immediately. After listening to it, her mind was no longer on lunch.

"I guess so."

Oda Sakunosuke also picked up the spoon after saying "thank you" to the boss.

"But the main reason is that Dazai found me again afterwards."

When the other party told himself that he had an ex-girlfriend, Oda Sakunosuke was not surprised. After all, as a friend, Osamu Dazai would have said it long ago if he had a girlfriend, but his memory is very certain that he did not.

"I accidentally forgot about her."

The black-haired young man sitting in front of the bar picked up the wine glass on the table.

"But luckily I found it back."

"Isn't it your ex-girlfriend?"

Oda Sakunosuke felt even more confused.

"But as expected, I still don't want to forget it no matter what."

Osamu Dazai took a sip of the cold wine, and the ice cubes in the glass made a few slight knocking sounds as he swayed against the glass wall.

He stared at the golden liquor under the dim light, and said softly, "It doesn't matter if it was four years ago or now."

"So are you going to chase it back?"

Oda Sakunosuke looked away, and also took a sip of wine.

"Well, that's right."

Osamu Dazai stretched out his left hand and touched his forehead with his index finger.

"Although it is very difficult, I still want to work hard."

"That's it."

Oda Sakunosuke didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only raise the wine glass in his hand.

"Come on, I wish you success."

The black-haired young man also raised his glass and touched it lightly.

"Lend your auspicious words."

"By the way, I heard from those children that you gave me a treasure map for safekeeping four years ago, but not only can I not remember it at all, but I can't find it either. Sorry."

"Ah, this isn't Odasaku's fault. If I have to say it, it's the world's fault. I had anticipated it and prepared for it. I deliberately handed over the treasure map in front of those children. For you."

The black-haired young man drank the rest of the drink in one gulp. He closed his eyes, with a faint but genuine smile on his lips.

"And, didn't you just say that?"

"Although it was a bit late, I still found it."

"—my unique treasure."

A unique treasure.

When hearing these words, Yakai Riho couldn't help shaking the hand holding the spoon, and then fell silent completely.

Oda Sakunosuke next to her was already clasping her hands and ready to start, but she felt that the hunger in her stomach seemed to be infinitely weakening.

"What's the matter? Miss, is it not to your taste?"

The chubby boss, who was wiping the plate, looked at the girl who had been waiting for a while, and he didn't hear those words when he was preparing the curry just now.

"Do not……"

After Yakai Riho subconsciously denied it, she withdrew her thoughts.

"It's better to eat curry while it's hot."

The boss saw that the other party seemed to be worried, and took another look at the red-haired man who had never learned how to comfort a girl since he met him before.

"Although the uncle doesn't know what it is, you still have to eat well. After all, your body is your own."

Oda Sakunosuke looked at the boss winking at him blankly, and after chewing the curry in his mouth, he seemed to think about how to speak, and then he spoke.

"Dazai's attitude towards you hasn't changed since the beginning, you just need to clarify your own attitude."

That should be right.

He looked at the girl uncertainly, and then at the curry shop owner.

Yakai Riho let out an 'um', and then took a spoonful of curry.

"good to eat."

"Uncle's craftsmanship is very good."

With the attitude of enjoying the food, she put other things aside for the time being and concentrated on enjoying her lunch.

The two went back to the detective agency directly after eating, but Osamu Dazai hadn't come back yet.

Yakai Riho couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief when she found out, and then returned to her seat. Because she was thinking about something, she accidentally ignored Edogawa Ranpo who had been waiting for her all morning.

The black-haired young man who wasn't wearing a hat had been lying on the table and staring at the girl for several minutes, but since the girl came back, the girl had been holding the game console and started wandering, completely ignoring him.

He even knocked on the table with a lollipop on purpose, but he still didn't attract the attention of the other party.

So he pursed his lips, and finally gave up on the childish "I'll wait for when you notice me", and took the initiative to speak angrily.

"Did Odasaku tell you anything?"

Yakai Riho looked at the 'Start' that hadn't been clicked on the game screen for a long time, and looked up at Edogawa Ranpo who squinted his eyes dissatisfiedly.

"Just thinking about something."

"What about Dazai?"

Although it is a question sentence, the tone is very certain.

Yakai Riho did not deny it, after all, she would not lie in front of Dazai Osamu or Edogawa Ranpo, lying in front of these two people would be deceiving.

Edogawa Ranpo suddenly slapped the table and stood up with his hands propped up, then stretched out his hands towards the girl, put his palms on both sides of the girl's cheeks, and rubbed them hard.

"Although I don't know what happened, but if you like it, Lord Ranpo will never lose to him!"

"I like Riho."

"I like it very much. I like it because I am willing to share comic snacks with you. I like it because I want to hold hands every time I go out. I like it because I want to be with you all the time!"

"However, even though Ranpo-sama is right in front of you, the idiot Riho is always thinking of others, I am very unhappy!"
