Hong Kong and Black Undercover Ayanokoji's Handbook of Tool Man

The whole day isn't over yet, so it's still my day off.

I plan to make a special trip to Yokohama Ancient Book Street.

If you still have the impression, there is actually a familiar big hotel at the end of the next street.There was a sniper attack inside the hotel.In the sniping incident, a young man with wine-red hair used his abilities to resolve the crisis, which also let me know that Mori Ogai had planned it from the beginning.

Everyone who comes out of WhiteRoom has received a memory enhancement method. The "memory palace" memory method is the most common and basic one, which requires exercisers to set up rooms for their own memories, and associate memories are placed in the rooms.Therefore, in fact, every time I pass by there, I always think of words such as "ventilator", "sniper", "chair facing the floor-to-ceiling windows", and they will turn into steps, leading me to the things I experienced with Oda Sakunosuke everything of.

To be honest, I never forgot a moment when I came out of Academy City.Not to mention the picture engraved into my memory - inside the fire scene, Dazai Osamu's kite pupils danced with a strange luster, as if being burned by the fire clouds that burned the entire sky when the heavy rain first stopped, shining gorgeously.

I don't know why I'm always so obsessed with this image.Maybe it's because there are contradictions hidden in this picture that I didn't notice, or this picture is full of contradictions and abruptness-this fire scene that declares death and decay is just because this person has become a wonderful feast scene.I even have a strange idea that Osamu Dazai is not dead.

"..."

At this moment, a sudden crisp whistle sounded from my ears, and I subconsciously walked out of this inescapable memory.

When I looked back, it turned out that a group of children were crossing the road when they were led back to school by the teacher. The teacher used a whistle to attract their attention.When the other party noticed that I was looking at her, he smiled politely.I nodded in her direction, and quickened my pace to find Ryunosuke Akutagawa from the second-hand bookstore.

Because Akutagawa's second Monday of every month is his rest day, he will spend his days reading in it.

So far, I'm still working hard to increase his favorability, hoping to become his friend soon.Even though I have met many people, I still put Akutagawa Ryunosuke as a "friend" and work hard for it.

This can be called "obsession", it can also be called "challenge", and it can also be called part of "self-improvement".

Akutagawa Ryunosuke has extremely strong emotions that I don't have.

This emotion is paranoid and heavy, and has the characteristics of being unable to adjust itself.

I was thinking, if I get close to him and imitate him, will I have one-tenth, or one-hundredth, or even one-thousandth of the similar emotions.In this way, I am constantly moving towards my goal.

……

Ryunosuke Akutagawa was still standing in the same place.

He doesn't read fast, he likes to read slowly.

According to my calculations, at his speed, if he wants to read the entire book, it may take him ten years.That is to say, in the past ten years, regardless of force majeure factors such as natural disasters and other force majeure factors, he will definitely appear there on the second Monday of every month.

When I was two meters away from him, Ryunosuke Akutagawa felt something.

His cold voice sounded, and he said to me: "You are back." Immediately, he looked up at me, and after meeting my gaze, he didn't continue to say more, just looked down at the book in his hand.I said "um", picked a book on the bookshelf, and slowly flipped through it, listening to the sound of turning pages became the only communication between us.

We simply spend the last hour before sunset.

After the end, when Ryunosuke Akutagawa passed by the door of the store, he would put [-] yen coins in the tip box at the cash register, which was equivalent to the price of buying two old books.This is his habit.And I also imitated him and stuffed a [-] yen coin in the counter.

But this time there was a little hiccup.

The boss stopped us.

The boss is a hunched old man wearing reading glasses.Before we were about to leave, he bent down and took out two packs of tea bags the same size as "Omoru" from the uncloseable drawer under the cash register, held one in each hand, handed it towards us, and said: "I have relatives who live in Shizuoka. Recently (in spring) some new tea was delivered, and I plan to give it to some old customers. Can you get some too?"

When I saw his hand stretched out, my hand reached out subconsciously, intending to take his gift.

This may be influenced by Edogawa Ranpo. He likes to pick up food handed over by others. After picking up, he would poke my arm with his elbow, urging me to take it quickly.He doesn't know "politeness", "modesty" or "politeness" at all.However, he has his own set of persuasive rhetoric, which makes me feel that if you like what the other party wants to give, there is no reason to refuse it.

Akutagawa didn't intend to pick it up, so he walked out of the bookstore without saying a word.So, I took it upon myself to help him, and after catching up with him, I handed it in front of him.

According to the information provided by Akutagawa Ryunosuke's younger sister "Gin", he likes "tea".And Shizuoka tea has always been synonymous with high-end Japanese tea, not to mention Shizuoka new tea. Anyone who knows it knows that it is a rare top-grade tea.

"I do not need."

"Your sister may like it." I ignored his words and continued, "Shizuoka tea is a very good thing, especially new tea. The taste of brewed tea is stronger than that of old tea, and it should be served with some refreshments. Your sister should Quite like."

I can't imitate Edogawa Ranpo's exaggerated sales promotion speech and expression.

However, in his view, food is indeed the spice of life.Calling it a "miracle" is not an exaggeration.It's like an amusement park that a child rarely goes to, like a good book found after hard work, just appearing once is enough to make people happy and full of surprises.

I don't know what to say, Edogawa is easy to satisfy?Or is the idea simple?

Akutagawa Ryunosuke doesn't like to accept favors, but what I said made him waver.

"If you want to return a gift, you can ask someone to give him Hanami dumplings, which can be used with tea for cherry blossom viewing. The Hanami dumplings in Yokohama are better than Mitarai dumplings." I thought carefully about what Edogawa said to me.

It seems that because I seldom talk about eating and drinking with him, the content this time is too much of this element, causing Akutagawa to frown slightly after hearing this, looking into my pupils, and asked back: "I heard others say, You have been eating, drinking and having fun with public funds in Ikebukuro?"

Akutagawa is not someone who can gossip with others.

So my first thought was "who said it in front of him", and "what does Akutagawa think about this", or "what does he think of me"?

I asked back: "Who are you referring to when you say 'others'? "

"I was with some people in the guerrillas directly under the leader. Because after you bought Yagiri Pharmaceuticals for less than [-] million, they were all talking about you." Akutagawa continued to pursue the truth with a straight face, and said, "But you and I It is enough to say whether you are serious about doing things."

Akutagawa is a very straight person, if you make a detour with him, he will just be taken away and probably never come back.

So, don't tell him irony, and don't ask him back.

"I promise in the name of Mr. Dazai that I am doing things seriously."

The effect of "I swear in the name of Mr. Dazai" here is equivalent to saying "I swear by righteousness" in front of believers, and Akutagawa Ryunosuke is very fond of this method.

Akutagawa nodded, and said without hesitation: "If anyone talks about this kind of thing tomorrow, I will be rude to them."

After this sentence ended, I felt that Akutagawa was very easy to be used as a gunman.But since he never takes the initiative to care about others easily, I don't think it is necessary for him to get rid of this habit deliberately.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke hadn't finished speaking, and continued with a serious expression: "You should have heard that "the melon field is not satisfied with food, and the cloth is a little lazy". For a day or two, there are rumors that you plan to usurp Mr. Dazai's rights and become a quasi-cadre, that you cling to cadres, follow others, and are willing to do everything. "

I've never heard of any of this, but I can guess there are rumors of it.

However, when these words came out of Akutagawa's mouth, I felt that these things had been fermented inadvertently to the point that even a person like Akutagawa, who is deaf to things outside the window, heard it.This is a problem.

"You believe it?" I asked.

"Of course I don't believe it. How can you be half as amazing as Mr. Dazai?"

Akutagawa Ryunosuke even thought it was unreasonable to have such a thought.

This entry point makes me unable to refute.

Ever since I entered the Hong Kong and Black Headquarters building, the rumors about me have never stopped, and I have always been their topic.Because he saved Osamu Dazai in the bomb incident, he became his student; because Osamu Dazai passed away, he became a quasi-cadre-level member under his protection; now the first big task he received was successful.

"Don't you find it annoying that these rumors have been spreading around you all the time?"

I can imagine that when Ryunosuke Akutagawa was resting, these topics would be brought up from time to time, so he had to be forced to accept the information passively.After all, Ryunosuke Akutagawa and I are bound together as brothers.Because of my relationship, I think Akutagawa should also have a hard time.

However, even so, he still interacted with me normally, chatted normally, and took me to training normally.

Can I think that Akutagawa also regards me as a friend?

Inexplicably, I suddenly had this expectation.

However, the second after I finished asking, Akutagawa replied neatly: "So, I beat everyone."

As soon as the words fell, for a moment, I didn't know how to reply, and finally I only heard me say: "Thank you."

"It's just the difference between once and twice. Hitting once is not enough, hit twice, they will understand, they shouldn't talk nonsense."

"Ah."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke's eyes were firm and burning, but his tone remained flat, and he said: "Don't worry about those useless people, just be yourself, and I will also shoulder the task of leading you, so that You become a veritable student of Mr. Dazai. After all, we are the best."

I……

Um…………

This is probably after Dazai left, I recalled what Dazai once said, "Akutagawa Ryunosuke will be the strongest supernatural being in Hong Kong, and it is still a sword without a sheath. If you don't hone it well, you may even hurt yourself." Listen to him, I gave him too much blood...

"……OK."

I say so.
