Heroic Spirit Transformation System 2

Chapter 21 Literary Heroes, Abilities, and Books

Yokohama——

In the armed detective agency, Edogawa Ranpo, who had to be accompanied when going out, walked briskly on the way back to the detective agency.

Suddenly, the person leading the way stopped.

"...Mr. Ranpo." Nakajima Atsushi looked at the shop by the road, "It seems to be the one who was your friend at the banquet before..."

Edogawa Ranpo held a lollipop in his mouth and said "huh?", followed Nakajima Atsushi's gaze: "Oh! Po-kun!"

Edgar Allan Poe, who used to be their enemy, but now has a good relationship because he has no reason to be hostile, is relieved that he was not ignored by his acquaintances this time: "Mr. Ranbu."

Edogawa Luanbu turned a corner and entered this store: "What are you doing here... oh, are you looking for a mystery novel to read?"

This is an old bookstore, filled with all kinds of books, the space is very cramped, but it is located on a street with good traffic, and the business looks good.

Ellen Poe, who was seen through by Edogawa Ranpo at a glance, is used to it, and it is really not difficult to guess, so he replied obediently: "Just passing by here, I just take a look...Ranpo-kun, since we happened to meet Already, today we’re going to have a showdown—”

"No." Edogawa Ranpo didn't hesitate at all, and replied before he finished speaking.

Edgar Allan Poe: "..."

Although he knew it would happen, he would be sad to refuse so soon.

Behind Edogawa Ranpo, Atsushi Nakajima, who was in a daze, suddenly felt his legs being rubbed by something warm.

Atsushi Nakajima, who had only experienced the battle a while ago, was frightened by the sudden attack and suddenly came back to his senses. He overreacted and jumped back in an instant to try to avoid it. Unfortunately, there was a bookshelf behind him, and he directly bumped into the bookshelf.

Atsushi Nakajima, whose strength was far beyond ordinary people, overreacted so aggressively, and immediately tilted the bookshelf.

"Wow ah ah ah-"

Atsushi Nakajima reacted immediately, and hurried to help the bookshelf again.Fortunately, because the bookshelf was full of books, although it was knocked crooked, it was not strong enough to make it fall directly, but a lot of books fell from the top that shook the most.

When the bookstore owner heard the commotion and walked over while saying "what happened", what he saw was Atsushi Nakajima, who was hit in the face by a falling book.

Boss: "... this guest is very sorry!"

"No no no, it's me who should be sorry! I'm very sorry!!!"

Atsushi Nakajima knelt down in front of the bookstore owner: "I'll pack it up right now! Excuse me... how much compensation do I need?"

At the same time, a cat walked towards the bookstore owner from behind Atsushi Nakajima... Even without Edogawa Ranpo's brain, Atsushi Nakajima understood that this was the cat that scared him just now!But I can't blame him, he probably came here because he likes him, he was distracted...

The bookstore owner is used to it: "It's okay, I just tidy it up... Sometimes this kind of accident happens, the books on the upper floor are too full..."

Finding that the boss seemed to have misunderstood that he accidentally made it when he was pulling the book from the shelf, Atsushi Nakajima had no choice but to explain a few more words, then apologized, and packed up together with the boss, and endured Edogawa's chaos On the side, he said in an irrelevant tone, "Hurry up, Tun-kun, I have to go back to the detective agency" and other urgings.

Although he knew it was Atsushi Nakajima's fault, the owner of the bookstore still cleaned it up together. After all, the store's layout seemed to be very particular, and Atsushi Nakajima couldn't do it alone.

"Hey... where is this book?" The bookstore owner suddenly fell into confusion, "Have I received this book?... There is no author... Is it a handmade book..."

Atsushi Nakajima glanced at it. It was a foreign language book with a childlike cover, and it felt like it was for children.

"Well, if you don't mind." Nakajima Atsushi originally felt very sorry that he knocked over the book and asked the shopkeeper to help him. Now that he read it, he suddenly felt that he had a chance to apologize, "Please sell this book to me. Bar."

So, Atsushi Nakajima came out and not only cleaned up in the bookstore for a long time, but also spent a sum of money to go out and buy a book that he couldn't understand at all.

After saying goodbye to Poe, Ranpo Edogawa and Atsushi Nakajima continued to go to the detective agency, Atsushi Nakajima was still regretting his salary.

"Should I sell the book to other second-hand bookstores..." Atsushi Nakajima was thinking about how to restore blood to his wallet.

Edogawa Ranpo has always refused to comment on his purchase of books as an apology, but at this moment he said: "You can go back and show it to Dazai first."

"……what?"

Atsushi Nakajima was confused.

Although I don't know why Mr. Ranpo asked him to show Mr. Dazai this book that looked like a children's book, but Atsushi Nakajima is an obedient child. Once he returned to the detective agency, he really handed the book to Osamu Dazai.

Osamu Dazai put down the "Complete Suicide Manual" in his hand and took the book.

He glanced at Atsushi Nakajima and Ranpo Edogawa who came back together: "Well, did Ranpo say something?"

Nakajima Atsushi honestly told what Edogawa Ranpo said, and by the way, explained why he came back so late.

"A used bookstore..."

Osamu Dazai flicked through the book from beginning to end, at a speed that didn't look like he was reading a book, but rather looked for something.

Of course, he found nothing, but he showed a strange smile.

"Interesting...Dun Jun, you are lucky. You just bought such an interesting book."

Atsushi Nakajima didn't understand, so he asked directly: "What's wrong with this book?"

Osamu Dazai did not answer this question directly, but taught like a teacher: "Atsushi-kun, where do you think this book is placed?"

"...books, bookshelves?" Atsushi Nakajima replied confusedly.

Where is it not on the bookshelf?It was because he bumped into the bookshelf that the book fell off, didn't it?

Osamu Dazai sighed, "Where is the bookshelf?"

Atsushi Nakajima was stunned again, he didn't pay attention to this at all!When he saw the book, it had already fallen!

Anyway, just take a guess...

"The... first floor of the bookshelf?"

"The bookstore owner said that the bookshelves on the upper floor are also full, so it's easy to pick up a book and bring down other books, right?"

"Yeah... Ah!" Atsushi Nakajima looked at the book that Osamu Dazai showed him, and suddenly understood, "This book doesn't look like it's been squeezed...so it's on the top of the shelf superior?"

"Bingo!" Osamu Dazai snapped his fingers with his free hand, "Now let's read this book again, do you think there is anything wrong?"

"What's not right..." Nakajima Atsushi squinted his eyes and observed carefully, not daring to say his answer for a long time.

Osamu Dazai sighed, and slapped the book on Atsushi Nakajima's face like a fan.

Atsushi Nakajima closed his eyes subconsciously, and suddenly remembered Osamu Dazai's hula hula flipping through a book to find something just now, and he was immediately blessed.

"I got it! It's dust-free!"

"That's right." Osamu Dazai took the book back, and carefully flipped through the pages with great interest, "Isn't it interesting? Places like second-hand bookstores are placed where dust is most likely to accumulate, and they were dropped on the ground before. Not a single speck of dust..."

After listening to Yosano Akiko for a while: "Is it someone's ability?"

"If it's an ordinary ability, it will lose this characteristic the moment I touch it." Osamu Dazai checked the book, "Well... there is no author and publication information..."

Atsushi Nakajima asked: "If it's not a supernatural ability, what would it be?"

"I didn't say it wasn't a supernatural ability." Osamu Dazai said, "Although my [Disqualification in the World] is said to be able to nullify all supernatural powers, theoretically speaking, as long as it is a supernatural power, there will be a limit. level, maybe I can't do it... well, but I haven't encountered it so far."

If you haven't encountered it, what are you talking about! ! !

Atsushi Nakajima was even more confused: "Then this book..."

"It has strange characteristics, and I'm not sure if it's a supernatural power... If it's really a supernatural power, then this book is amazing. It's an existence that I can't even nullify. It doesn't seem like it can be created by humans... Well."

Osamu Dazai thought for a while, and suddenly turned the book to the last page.

Watching his movements, Atsushi Nakajima suddenly had an ominous premonition: "... Mr. Dazai, what are you doing?"

"Tear off a page and study it." Osamu Dazai began to exert force on his hands.

Three seconds later, Osamu Dazai gave up: "Atsu-kun, you tear it up."

Atsushi Nakajima said weakly: "Isn't it bad to destroy books..."

"Hmm..." Osamu Dazai thought for a while, and Atsushi Nakajima thought he had given up, but he actually said, "Think about it carefully, maybe you can't tear it off, then... Kunikida-kun—you changed Pop the grenade, okay?"

"It's just a book, isn't it necessary?!" Atsushi Nakajima was shocked.

"Don't bother me with silly things!!!" Kunikida Doppo directly refused.

Osamu Dazai said regretfully: "Then there is no other way, Atsu-kun, go find a knife...don't look at me like that, I'm just testing the limits of self-protection in this book."

"What if the knife can't cut it?"

"Then take it to lie on the rails? It's the first time to try to die with a book..."

I used the Heroic Card of the [Nursery Rhyme] whose body is a picture book, sublimated into a Heroic Spirit as a concept of [Children’s Hero]. At this moment, it is Nanaya who exists here in the form of a book, and is touched by several big men without saying anything. , and it is expected to fall apart in the future...

Seven nights:"……………………"

——You mother, why!

He is just a weak, pitiful and helpless book! ! !Why should they be treated so cruelly! ! !

Do ordinary people observe a book so carefully? ? ?

It's fine if one person can tell something is wrong at a glance, but if there is another one, the action power is much more terrifying than the previous one!What kind of devil protagonist group is this!

This is not a world where you can take a vacation at all! ! !

"Ah, it just so happens that there is a lighter here, let's try this first...huh?"

Osamu Dazai was thoughtful.

"... Did this book move just now?"
