Lost Lord Ranbu

Mori Ogai had been on guard against Osamu Dazai early on.

When the two first met, Osamu Dazai was just an underage kid who ran away from home.Although he has a clever mind, he has serious psychological problems and is a suicide attempt patient who likes to commit suicide.

At that time, Edogawa Ranpo, who had maintained a partnership with Mori Ogai for many years, had already penetrated into the port mafia, and became a big hit in front of the leader with his outstanding mind.In order to prevent the suspicious and cruel leader from becoming suspicious of him and ensure the smooth progress of the follow-up plan, it is inconvenient for Ranpo to contact Mori Ogai again.

Mori Ogai had no choice but to find another assistant.

After Ranpo, Dazai fit the bill perfectly.

At first, Mori Ogai thought that the other party was young, and even though his character was quite tricky, he could still control it.When he becomes the head of the port mafia, there will be more things to consider.During the two years when the new leader took over and needed to stabilize the situation, Mori Ogai began to be afraid of Dazai because of his unpredictable character.

Dazai has grown up rapidly in the past few years, his smooth and sophisticated handling style, the list of meritorious deeds full of blood and gunfire, and the speed of promotion like a rocket, all gave Mori Ogai a vague premonition.

Even though Edogawa Ranpo assured him that Dazai had no intention of seeking power and usurping the throne, Mori Ogai still couldn't feel at ease.

It's not that Mori Ogai is afraid that his position as the leader will be taken away. He thinks he is slightly better than Dazai in the way of playing power.But every time he saw Dazai who was more and more similar to himself, Mori Ogai felt that the other party must be planning something that he didn't know under the surface of a half-smile, and this uncertainty made him more and more restless.

Dazai-kun, maybe he will overturn himself.

Mori Ogai was very wary of this.

as predicted--

One day, he was really seized power.

Mori Ogai has not figured out what happened until now.

How did he become an undercover agent sent by the authorities to the port mafia?

How did he expose his undercover status and resume his military post after he retired?

Why did he run for the Prime Minister after resuming his military post, and was finally elected with a high number of votes?

In other words, this is too dramatic, and I am not writing absurd novels.An undercover agent can still become a leader, so why return to his original post?What's more, I have a life debt on my body, and I don't even have the status of a member of parliament. How can I be qualified to run for the prime minister?

"This is a novel, Mr. Mori."

During the video call, the black-haired man sitting on the black throne closed the literature book in his hand.

The new leader of the port mafia is wearing a formal suit that would be envied by European princes and nobles. The midnight-like black makes his pale complexion even more perfect. The skin that cannot be covered by the suit is wrapped in bandages. There is also a dark red piece around his neck that symbolizes the identity of the leader. scarf.

Dazai Osamu: "There is no value in human life. From birth to death is just from zero to zero, but there is a value exchange in the middle, and there are ups and downs in the world. It should be quite interesting to write a novel."

Mori Ogai: "I'm glad Dazai-kun finally understands the joy of living in this world, but shouldn't you explain it to me? Even if it's the content of the novel, the plot is too perfunctory."

He didn't know about the "book" information, but Osamu Dazai was really perfunctory when he filled the literary book with world supplementary content.

"This..."

The head of the port mafia crossed his legs and put his hands on his knees.

Mori Ogai noticed that he was wearing two jewel rings of the same style, which seemed a bit cumbersome as decoration.

"It took me a lot of effort to send Mr. Mori to that position, are you happy?" Dazai complained to the former leader on the other end of the video in a familiar tone, "Mr. Yes!...Huh? Don’t want it? That’s okay, anyway, as long as Mr. Ranpo is happy, Mr. Mori has a better development platform!”

Sure enough, these are all Dazai-kun's conspiracy.

Mori Ogai thought indifferently.

There is obviously something abnormal in the world, and two completely different memories appeared in Mori Ogai's mind, as if they were two lives.

Both memories start with the senior military doctor.

There is nothing to say about the original memories, they are the ones he has experienced. Mori Ogai is convinced that this is real. After all, those new memories in his mind are too unreliable!

In the newly added memory, he received the assistance of the Edogawa couple, and his official career went smoothly.

Because of his excellent resume, he was ordered by his superior halfway and joined the port mafia as an undercover agent, responsible for investigating and handling affairs related to the Yokohama underground world.After quelling the turmoil in Yokohama, he became the port mafia boss along the way because he did not receive follow-up orders.

Not long ago, due to some reason, his identity was exposed, and he returned to his original official position. Afterwards, he rose steadily in the officialdom, and was even elected as the Prime Minister, responsible for controlling the whole of Japan.

If the "he" mentioned above does not refer to Mori Ogai himself, Mori Ogai would think this is a joke from a third-rate novel and read it as a joke.

In Mori Ogai's view, this memory is full of loopholes, and the logic is completely unreasonable.

In the end, the facts told him——

this is the truth.

"How is it? How does it feel to be back at the center of political power?" The new port mafia leader asked with a smile, "Master Prime Minister, please take care of business in the future."

Inexplicably becoming the new Prime Minister, Mori Ogai raised his forehead with a headache.

He didn't want to hear the other party's nonsense, so he asked straightforwardly: "Mr. Dazai, what have you done?"

"I didn't do anything but fulfill Ranpo-san's wish." Dazai insisted on this.

"Stop pushing back and forth, Dazai-kun."

"Forgive me for not being able to clarify this matter, otherwise it will cause turmoil in Yokohama and even the whole world. Mr. Mori doesn't want to see that kind of situation, right? I specially kept Mr. Mori's memory and didn't clean it thoroughly. This is already my Sincere."

Preserving Mori Ogai's memory makes his stance in favor of the port mafia.

This is the judgment Dazai made after weighing the pros and cons.

After all, Mori Ogai was personally sent to the position of supreme leader by him. With Mori Ogai's ability, it should be easy to secure a high position.If you don't use the past memories and scandals to restrain him, maybe one day the Prime Minister will issue an order to send special personnel to clean up the port mafia.

If the opponent is Mori Ogai, even Dazai will find it troublesome.

He didn't take over the port mafia to be a social animal.

In other words, he became the leader of the port mafia, not specifically to deal with the mess left by Mori Ogai and Ranpo, and he didn't need to create unnecessary foreign enemies for himself.

Before Mori Ogai asked the next question, Dazai raised his voice and quickly blocked the other person's words: "Is there anything else you can do, Mr. Prime Minister? I'm busy with business recently, so I'm afraid I won't be able to receive him—ah, right! Yes. If you want to consult, I suggest you go to the Armed Detective Agency to submit a commission, their price is quite reasonable."

"Beep-"

Video call turned off.

Mori Ogai: "..."

When the secretary knocked on the door and came in, he saw their national leader sitting in a pile of unfinished documents with a dejected face.The incarnation of the supernatural ability, the blond girl named Alice, also looked listless, sitting listlessly fiddled with the corners of her skirt.

The secretary pushed the round glasses: "Mr. Prime Minister?"

"Ango-kun." Mori Ogai pressed his temple and ordered him, "Help me contact the Armed Detective Agency in Yokohama."

Sakaguchi Ango nodded.

When he was still working in the Supernatural Secret Service Section, the paperwork was heavy, and he had always instilled in himself the concept of work - if you don't go to work, you don't have to go to work, and if you don't sleep, you don't have to get up.

Although he didn't know which armed detective agency it was, and he didn't know the contact information, but as long as it was requested by Prime Minister Mori, as the newly transferred Prime Minister's secretary, he had to complete the work.

Ango Sakaguchi has demonstrated extremely efficient work literacy.

Soon, Mori Ogai got on the phone with the Armed Detective Agency.

"Hi, Mr. Sen, I'm still wondering when you will contact me, and it's time." On the other end of the video call, the black-haired cadre dressed as a detective waved at him with a happy smile on his face.

Behind the detective, a middle-aged man in a silver-haired kimono stood silently. He put his hands into the sleeves of the kimono, and stared at Mori Ogai very majesticly—that look, like a parent guarding his son against bad netizens.

"I know that Mr. Mori has a lot of questions, and I will answer them well. But Dazai's part is hard to explain, otherwise there will be big problems. I don't want Mr. Mori to have more work." Luanbu looked at his pile of The office of the file, so to speak.

Mori Ogai almost laughed out of anger.

Isn't Dazai the culprit?His part cannot be said, so is there anything else that can be said?And I have a bunch of extra work for no reason, isn't it because my subordinates are messing around?

Fortunately, the government department has its own system. Except for the necessary work, everything else can be left to the people below. The secretary Ango Sakaguchi, who was just promoted by the prime minister, suffered a lot of pain that he shouldn't have to bear.

"That's right, Mr. Sen, I need help!"

This made Mori Ogai have an ominous premonition again.

"Mr. Mori knows that I have started a business, right? At present, the detective agency still lacks a license to open with supernatural powers." Ranpo said a key word, and nodded in a serious manner, "Hmm! There is really no way, I was attracted by Mr. Ranpo There are too many people with different abilities! If this continues, the Armed Detective Agency will be judged as an illegal association. Isn’t Mr. Mori the prime minister now? Think of a way.”

Mori Ogai: "..."

What can he do?

What else can he do?

Of course, it is to use its authority to obtain a license for the opening of the Armed Detective Agency with special abilities.

The Ability Opening License is a legal certificate issued by the government. When it was still a mafia, Mori Ogai worked so hard to get it from the Ability Secret Service.Now that he is the prime minister, he thinks it is too hard to use a special ability business license as toilet paper to wipe his butt.

Even if he deliberately made things difficult for the Armed Detective Agency and withheld the opening license for this ability, Fukuzawa Yukichi would get it through Natsume-sensei sooner or later.

not to mention--

Can he still refuse to walk in disorder?
