Late night eatery in Yokohama

-Night miso butter ramen (final three)-

"That's right..." After listening, the baron glanced calmly at the three-colored cat in the little girl's arms.Natsume Soseki is in a very bad mood now, this is his conclusion.

So the clever baron cat decided to make a long story short, and he slipped away after talking about important things...

As for reminiscing with the beloved little girl... There is no rush for this matter, let's chat with Pangpang next time when she recovers some memories.

"Cough, let's not talk about anything else. This is the box I originally wanted to give you tomorrow morning. I'm sorry I can't reveal the origin of the box, but it contains the "soul" of the diners of "Late Night Canteen". "

The baron said the man's name in a few seconds, "Yes, as you can see... the human soul named 'Oda Sakunosuke' is in this box... But it can't be opened right now."

"..." Eyes widened in shock, Cageshima Midori tried hard to maintain a smile on his face, "Sorry, Mr. Baron though... this is not funny at all..."

How could the soul of a human being after death be contained in such an unremarkable little wooden box?Mr. Baron must be joking.

well.He knew the child would react like this, raised his eyebrows at the baron who was full of interest in Ranbu's eyes, and said: "...I never make such jokes. In any case, you just need to understand that this man's soul belongs to "Late Night" Cafeteria"... there is no other choice. "

"I'm sorry, but I thought you'd get my point."

"It also means that as long as you find the right person, this human soul can once again..."

"...Is what you said true?" Cage Island Green stretched out his hand to stop the tears rolling in his eyes, but found that the big teardrops had already fallen on the pillow, and the tears were wiped again and again But I couldn't wipe it off, "Yes, I'm sorry, I'm just a little..."

Feeling a little out of control...

Even if the baron didn't say anything, Midori Kageshima knew that if it wasn't for this, Mr. Oda's death might become a "thorn" in her heart.

And forever.

She has never mentioned that the night that Sakunosuke Oda enjoyed the tomato pasta meal in the late-night cafeteria, after the late-night cafeteria closed, Ryojima Green got an album of memories of diners called "Oda Sakunosuke" in the APP .

It is written in the album that this man named Sakunosuke Oda was a ruthless killer when he was young, and by chance, he decided to change his mind. After reforming, he joined the port mafia and became a low-level employee. Adopted five orphans who were lonely in the war...

Its ability is called "Heaven, Clothes, Seamless"——

You can predict what will happen in the next five seconds.

It sounds unbelievable, but it really is... real.

"Kageshima-san... sorry, it's Kageshima-san, what do you think of the article I just read?"

After correcting Mr. Oda's too rigid address for her for the third time, the man asked her with a slightly confused and entangled expression.I heard that the little girl who was scratching the chin of Udon cutie was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Did Mr. Oda write it? It's surprisingly 'smell'!"

Now that I think about it, he is probably the most distinctive mafia that Ryoshima Green has ever seen... Well, a Mr. Killer whose dream is to become a novelist...

"Go and meet the owner of the moving castle, if you really want to save this man's life."

The baron raised a smile that was gentler than the stars and the sea, and looked at the little girl's eyes full of encouraging stars: "That man may be able to give this human being a "new life", at least..."

"...But I don't even know where the other party lives." Cage Island Green gripped the box handed over by the other party, showing a look of confusion, "That blond man..."

"Wait." Interrupting her speech, Luanbu's eyes lit up, "Xiaolongdao, have you ever dreamed about that person?"

The little girl was startled for a moment, then nodded: "Well, I did have a dream..."

Mr. Detective was lost in thought.

"...So, after you have said so much, did you mention the corresponding "price" that she needs to pay? "

"I really want to get to know that 'kind' castle owner."

The black-haired young man who pulled his head out of the wall at some point wiped the blood on his forehead with a gloomy expression, even though there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, there was no movement in those iris-colored eyes: "... ...But if you don't know him, why did the owner of the moving castle help "Late Night Canteen" to resurrect the souls of the dead? "

Dazai's tone was very flat.

When talking, he just stood motionless by the cracked wall and stared at the baron quietly for a long time. This was the first time that Cage Island Green intuitively felt the confidence emanating from the other party's body. There is no cover-up of malice.Then when she was staring at the other side's face in a daze, Osamu Dazai suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her hand——

"Green sauce..."

"I'm sorry, Odasaku stopped breathing in my arms, I saw it with my own eyes so..."

He said.

"So what is Dazai-san afraid of?" With an almost inaudible sigh, Ryojima Ryo pulled a pack of tissues from the small table beside him and carefully wiped Dazai's forehead that was still stained with blood. With a pious face.

"I believe Mr. Dazai, but the children are still alive and well, I succeeded..."

Thinking of the memory album belonging to Sakunosuke Oda, the little girl squeezed the other's hand, "I want to try..."

She had a premonition that this time, too, she would succeed.

"..."

After a long time, he replied to her, "Okay."

This night, in the end, Cage Island Green slept alone under a quilt.Ranpo and the leader Meow, no, now they are called Char Siu to sleep together, and Dazai Osamu is in charge of taking care of Udon.

...Tonight, everyone should have a good dream, right?

Ignoring the lovelessness of the two adults, the little girl hid in the quilt and began to drink poisoned milk.

Then this night, Ranpo had a dream of butter ramen all night......

...and then he woke up with a start.

"..." It's 07:30 in the morning, and the loud sound of knives and chopping boards from downstairs can be heard continuously, and the young man with messy sleeping hair is lying on the bed staring at the wooden ceiling in a daze for a while.

The leader in his arms, Miao Zai, had disappeared. When he realized that the sun was about to dry his butt, Mr. Detective grunted unwillingly and got up from the bed.

"What, red wine aftereffect?" He muttered in a low voice with a bird's nest on his head, his thick nasal voice seemed to be filled with dissatisfaction.

In the past at the Armed Detective Agency, as long as there was no commission for Ranpo, he could sleep until ten o'clock at once.The president, Yukichi Fukuzawa, has always been very fond of him, so naturally he wouldn't say anything more about him staying in bed, but yesterday, he stayed at the little boss's place for a night and woke up early this morning?It's unbelievable...

Rubbing his messy hair, he glanced at the wall that had been restored to its original state, and he couldn't see that there was a big crack in the wall, and walked to the bathroom with bare feet and began to wash.

After going downstairs, Mr. Detective's eyes drifted past the door with a slight gap, and a trace of understanding flashed across his eyes, "Little boss, where is Mr. Dazai?" He asked in a soft voice on purpose.

The sound of chopping vegetables stopped, and the little girl wearing a cat apron came out of the kitchen with a tamagoyaki, and explained to Ranbu seriously: "The char siu left a note saying that Mr. Dazai made it early in the morning. He and Udon (the cat) were 'pushed' out to go for a walk in a nearby park...well, I don't know if it's true or not."

After a night of thinking, Cage Island Green has gradually accepted the magical painting style of her cat becoming a master.After all, weird things abound in this more magical late-night eatery, don't they?

BBQ pork?

It took two seconds for Mr. Detective to realize that the other party was talking about Osamu Dazai from that different world.Pfft, he is very clear about things that the little boss is not sure about.Don't think about it, it must be the shrewd and small-bodied three-colored cat who can't get used to eating and drinking for free and living in the official's house, so he recruited the even smaller black mud essence No. [-] to meet at six o'clock Just dragged that guy out to suffer.

Yes, it is called "walking the bend".

Only a small boss would believe this kind of trick!snort.

So a few minutes later, one person and two cats came back within the time that Ranbu had calculated in advance.

When he came back, the big black mud spirit was as miserable as he expected, with a cat on his left and right shoulders, he looked as tired as a pug, panting and complaining: "...Ah, I can't do it!"

After finishing speaking, the sweaty young man panted and stretched out his hand to undo the two rows of buttons on the top of his pajamas. Only then did Cage Island Green realize that he was wearing black striped pajamas without even having time to put on his vest, stepping on a pair of fluffy black cats. The slippers went out to accompany the two cats for a walk.

How miserable!

Cage Island Green guessed that this must be the idea of ​​the leader, Meowzai. Although, if she was asked to choose a more scheming one from the 20-year-old leader and the renegade who still has some baby fat, she would definitely vote for the 20-year-old Mr. Dazai without hesitation. ticket!

Luanbu immediately hit the nail on the head, "A man can't say he's not good enough." Mr. Detective doesn't usually hold grudges, he still remembers what happened last night until this morning.

But... the cats occupying Mr. Dazai's left and right shoulders are all expressionless and straighten their chests like door gods. It looks funny?Thinking of this, Cage Island Lv smiled crookedly, she put down the garbage bag in her hand, and raised a sweet smile:

——"Welcome back, Mr. Dazai, where did you go for a walk today?"

Forgive her for being unable to imagine Mr. Dazai walking in the park with two cats on his back...

The tired Osamu Dazai didn't want to talk, he waved his hand to indicate that he would go upstairs to take a shower first.

the other side.

Nakahara also flew back to Yokohama at around two o'clock in the morning this morning. After getting off the plane, he went back to the headquarters and learned the news of his partner Osamu Dazai's defection, and then rushed to the late night cafeteria non-stop this morning.

At that time, Osamu Dazai, who had just taken a shower, had already changed out of his loose pajamas, and just casually put on a white shirt, and casually walked downstairs without a vest.

No matter how energetic Dazai Osamu was, he was tossed by the two cats because he didn't sleep well in the morning, so the sluggish aura exuding from his whole body has not faded away.Those deep but bloodshot eyes lightly swept over the three-flowered cat on the bar, and finally stopped on the face of the young man with orange hair who was breathing unsteadily at the door.

Dazai Osamu: "..."

Nakahara Chuya: "..."

The two people who looked at each other didn't speak, and the speechless atmosphere spread in the air until... "Bang——!!!!" Accompanied by a loud bang that pierced the sky, the red light that was enough to freeze blood suddenly Suddenly, it erupted from the Central Plains.

"Too--! Za--! Rule--!"

He shouted out the name of his ex-partner almost violently word by word. In the next second, Zhongyuan Zhong also rushed forward like an orange-red cheetah ready to go, his slender legs hooked up, and was caught Smooth body lines can be seen faintly under the lifted leather jacket...

The opponent's azure eyes stared intently at the "prey" in front of him for a moment, and a little bit of starlight danced between the burning eyebrows and eyes.

Sensing the ever-increasing killing intent in Nakahara Nakaya's eyes, Osamu Dazai casually raised his hands, his black and white eyes reflected the handsome face of the orange-haired boy, vaguely suppressing his anger, "Hey hey hey— — Chuya, are you sure you want to do it here?"

It was clearly the party being threatened, but the tone of the black-haired young man did not have any fluctuations, as calm as if he was not the one who was crushed by the dark dwarf.

Zhong Yuan's whole body was shocked because of his words, and then his eyes welled up as if he remembered something...unbelievable.

Turning his head, he met the little boss who looked shocked and dazed.
