Broken-up ex-boyfriends come back

A feeble apology is just as meaningless four years ago as it is now.

After hearing that sentence, Yakai Riho opened her mouth, and before she could say anything, she saw that the other party had withdrawn her gaze and walked outside again.

Fushimi Saru Hiko leaned against the door, rubbed the handle of the knife with his knuckles restrainedly, took off his glasses, closed his eyes, pinched the center of his brows, and finally suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart.

However, the uninterrupted memories flooded his brain all the time, and this uncontrollable feeling made him feel irritable.

He thought of the blood that oozed out when he bit the other party's neck on the day they broke up.

——I want to lick her blood, I want to bite her bones, so that she can feel the pain too.

In the eyes of the other party, he might just be a lunatic.

Yakai Riho has always had mixed feelings about Fushimi Saru Hiko, probably hovering between peace of mind and anxiety.

It was like a stone tied in mid-air by a rope. Even though she knew that the rope was very strong and would not let her fall, the bottomless abyss and the sense of suspension still made her uncontrollably feel uneasy.

Sometimes she doesn't know what the other person is thinking, and the difficulty of trying to understand this person's mind is no less than that of Osamu Dazai.

Perhaps because the arrival of Fushimi Saru Hiko distracted her attention, Yakai Riho's anxiety about the enemy alliance subconsciously eased a lot.

Then after coming to the detective agency the next day, she suddenly remembered a question.

Yakai Riho looked at Edogawa Ranpo, who was holding a newspaper in his hand but kept staring at Fushimi Saruhiko next to him, and he was about to die socially.

After 2 minutes of silence, the black-haired young man wearing a crooked hat suddenly bit the lollipop in his mouth, and pulled the brim of his hat as if remembering something unpleasant.

Everyone in the detective agency seems to be aware of it.

Yosano Akiko was a little surprised. After all, she had already told Mr. Ranpo about the arrival of Fushimi Saruhiko yesterday, and the other party agreed with it without any dissatisfaction.

So what's going on now?

Fushimi Saru Hiko glanced at the girl who was staring blankly, and walked towards the door.

"I'll go outside and watch."

Edogawa Ranpo threw the candy stick into the trash can, and said with a puffy face, "I remembered."

Yakai Riho looked over subconsciously, and then heard the other party say angrily——

"He provoked me back then!"

Yakai Riho: "..."

You don't really need to think about this kind of thing.

She probably knew what the other party was talking about. On the day she and Fushimi Saruhiko broke up, she was bitten suddenly, and then she bit her back with a twitch. At school, she happened to meet Edogawa Ranpo who came over, The results needless to say.

But now they are in the same camp after all, she doesn't want to have such a difficult time.

Yakai Riho organized the language.

"you……"

Ranpo Edogawa, who could tell what she was thinking at a glance, erected the newspaper again to cover his face.

"The famous detective is not a person who does not know the importance."

So Yakai Riho breathed a sigh of relief and let the flow take its course.

"As expected of a random step."

Although it was praised by many people, but because it was said from someone he cared about, even if it was just such a simple compliment, Edogawa Ranpo couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and 'hum' twice.

"Of course."

And in the next few days, he did not mention it again.

At the same time, the enemy remained silent, as if they had evaporated in the city.

While Yakai Riho was wondering if the enemy had given up on her, Yosano Akiko who was going back with her suddenly received a contact from Tanizaki Junichiro.

He and Atsushi Nakajima were attacked during the mission, the other party was seriously injured, and he was also injured. Currently, he is using supernatural powers to temporarily cover their existence to avoid the enemy.

Yosano Akiko's first reaction was to save someone, but then she thought of a possibility, could this be a trap, in order to transfer her away from Yakai Riho.

So he immediately contacted Edogawa Ranpo.

"This is not a trap, it is a conspiracy."

Ranpo Edogawa put on his glasses and looked at the map calmly.

"Although I have asked Kunikida to rush over, it is undoubtedly difficult to defeat an enemy that they cannot defeat together while protecting the two, and the other party can definitely delay time."

The seriously injured Atsushi Nakajima may not be able to wait until the enemy is defeated before being sent to the hospital. He can only let Akiko Yosano, who has the healing power of [Please Don’t Die], pass by. Naturally, it is impossible for her to bring the suspected enemy The target's Yakai Riho went to save people.

Therefore, whether to choose to save the companions of the detective agency, or choose to stay by Yakai Riho's side, this is the choice given to them by the enemy.

"Please go."

Yakai Riho, who also heard what happened, said, "In any case, it is a fact that Nakajima-kun is seriously injured and needs your supernatural treatment, and I also have Fushimi-kun here."

"I see, sorry."

Yosano Akiko looked at the dark blue-haired youth with a cold face.

"Then, I'll leave it to you, and I'll be back as soon as possible."

Yakai Riho looked at the figure of the other party leaving in a hurry, and then looked at Fushimi Saruhiko who seemed to have received a message and was looking at his mobile phone.

She was with Yosano Akiko before, and she could chat about some topics, but as soon as the other party left, she felt an awkward silence, and the atmosphere between the two seemed to be out of tune with the surrounding crowd.

Even though we've met a few times before, we haven't stayed together like this.

Compared with four years ago, the Fushimi monkey in front of him is more restrained than Gu. Except for the few words he said that day, he seems to be just his ordinary task object during this time. They are all very few.

No one spoke a word along the way, Yakai Riho looked at the traffic light in front of him, and thought of the organization in black that he saw before.

Speaking of which, Dazai Osamu has been missing for the past few days, and the only one who might know about it is Edogawa Ranpo who just said "don't worry about him", and doesn't know what he is doing.

The blinking red signal light seemed to be a warning. At the moment it turned green, the whole world was suddenly suspended in time and turned gray and white.

Mihai Riho looked in astonishment at the frozen movements of the people on the street, with tired or smiling expressions on their faces, and even the passing vehicles were stopped.

The sound of a sword being unsheathed interrupted her thoughts.

Yakai Riho looked at the dark blue-haired youth who had drawn out his sword beside him, and the other party's previous neglect had been put away at the same time, his eyes under the frame narrowed slightly, and then he suddenly swung his sword towards the empty place, and a voice rang out in the silence The crisp sound of sword clashing.

She involuntarily opened her eyes wide, and then saw a series of ripples appear at the intersection, and a figure in a retro tuxedo and a top hat appeared, wearing a mask with a strange smile on his face, holding a Not a sword, but a staff.

The other party disappeared immediately after the blow failed.

"It's [virtual space]! My father's personality!"

Yakai Riho immediately reminded her that the short moment just now was enough for her to use her personality to see part of the opponent's information.

"His ability is indeed [Copy], which needs to collect the target's blood, and he can freely use the opponent's ability before the blood is exhausted. If more abilities are used at the same time, the faster it will be consumed!"

But because the time was too short, she didn't see clearly which abilities the other party had copied.

Fushimi Saru Hiko scanned the surroundings sharply, alert to any attack coming at any time.

"I see."

After hearing this, he immediately made a judgment that a protracted war would be more beneficial to him.

The enemy's spatial personality is very troublesome, and he has no idea from which angle the opponent will attack, not to mention that there is Yakai Riho beside him who needs protection.

He can only judge by the subtle murderous aura and the sound of weapons breaking through the air when the opponent leaves the virtual space to attack.

But even so, there were many wounds on his body, and the cane was a special weapon.

If this continues, even if you can detect the other party's actions, your body will not be able to react immediately due to the gradual sluggishness of the wound, and at the same time, the brain nerves will not be able to bear the long-term tension.

That cat-and-mouse-like look is really annoying.

Fushimi Saruhiko's expression became more and more gloomy, and a blue flame suddenly ignited on the saber.

Yakai Riho was trying to find out where the enemy would come out from, when she was suddenly picked up, the angle of view changed instantly, the hem of the blue uniform came into view, and the scenery on both sides began to recede rapidly.

She was picked up in the form of a sack.

"……Where are you going?"

"It's not convenient to fight here."

Fushimi Saruhiko swung his sword to block another attack of the enemy, and before the flames burned, the opponent disappeared again.

"Tsk, something that hides its head and shows its tail like a mouse."

Yakai Riho immediately reacted.

Because it is not clear what is going on in this suspended world, whether those people around will really die if they are fatally injured, so they need to find a place where there is no one to fight.

Finally, the two came to a building where construction was suspended.

Fushimi Saru Hiko turned his back to the wall with his sword after putting her down.

Since the enemy must come out of the space at the moment of attack, the wall behind him prevents him from attacking from behind.

Unless the opponent also has the ability to penetrate the wall.

The enemy obviously does not have this ability.

The ground under their feet suddenly turned into a swamp, and piranhas that bloomed from the mud opened their fangs towards them.

Immediately afterwards, the clear and bright blue flame directly burned those gorgeous flowers into a ball of scorched black.

Yakai Riho, who has no combat ability, can only try her best to see and think about the enemy's ability, but the opponent has not come out of the space, so she can't use her personality to collect information.

However, following one attack after another, Yakai Riho subconsciously turned to look at the dark blue-haired youth beside him.

"How can he use so many abilities at the same time..."

Fushimi Saru Hiko also noticed something was wrong, he looked expressionlessly at the small knives attacking from all directions, and after blocking all of them, he found a red flame attacking them from the side of the black-haired girl.

Mihai Riho said from the beginning that the more abilities the opponent uses at the same time, the faster the blood will be consumed. However, one ability after another came one after another, whether it was the ability to temporarily suspend the entire space or the later Virtual space, quagmire, piranhas, knives... It seems to be endless, this is no longer enough for blood reserves.

And after his blue flame blocked the red flame, Fushimi Saru Hiko's face instantly darkened terribly.

This is the flame of Akagumi.
