I who want salted fish became the leader

On the other hand, the harmonious atmosphere between Ayatsuji and Holmes ends when the two walk into the office.

"I know what you're looking for." Ayatsuji sat on the chair and said, "And the existence of Heroic Spirit... To be honest, I'm not surprised that you will appear."

Holmes said calmly, "So, are you admitting it in disguise?"

"I didn't say Moriarty wasn't here, I just paid in advance." Ayatsuji knew that some heroes had clairvoyance, but he was just not sure if Holmes would have one. "You can tell Yingying everything you know. Fang, and my answer was, Better not to bother me."

Holmes and Ayatsuji looked at each other for a few seconds, and he found that the boy in front of him did not intend to lie at all.

There was a hint of coldness in his eyes, but more of a warning emotion.

Holmes suddenly felt a little strange, because this was the first time he was treated like this: "Actually, I am not only here because of that guy, your plan is perfect for others, but for me alone There is a fatal loophole.”

Therefore, despite his hesitant attitude, he still came to Yokohama, Japan under the signal of the clock tower.

That is, Moriarty will never give up making troubles for him, and go to Japan... Although this criminal professor is keen to provoke relations between countries and start wars, the most important point is that he will not forget to leave a number plate for Holmes .

"I know Professor Moriarty's character." Ayatsuji said knowingly, "I just didn't expect the Clock Tower to summon you."

"There are some secrets in between... I think you should have heard of the subspecies Holy Grail War."

Ayatsuji: "..."

"Strange, you are not the first to know, but you have a magic circuit that I can feel. The first moment I saw you, I thought it was a trick by the French side, such as summoning Moriarty or something. "Holmes said with a little surprise, "The British side will not touch Japan, because they are preparing for the subspecies Holy Grail War."

Ayatsuji has heard of the Holy Grail War, but it's just a subspecies of the Holy Grail War...

He tried to search for relevant information in his memory palace, and it wasn't until a moment later that he found the subspecies Holy Grail War information from his long-term memory.

The Holy Grail, that is, the holy relic that can fulfill all wishes, the war for it is called the Holy Grail War.

Seven people and seven riders fought harshly to the death within seven days. The last magician and the heroic spirit he summoned were the winners and finally got the Holy Grail.

In view of the particularity of the Holy Grail to realize "all human wishes", it does not always have the opportunity to emerge in the world. Generally speaking, the leylines need to accumulate magic power for about 30 years before they have a chance to be launched once. 30 years is really too long.

In this regard, the concept of subspecies Holy Grail War was born among the opportunistic humans.

——Forcibly arrange magic circuits in the leylines, divert the magic power of the entire city into the leylines, and accumulate enough magic power 30 years in advance to deceive the Holy Grail, so it is called a subspecies, that is, the false Holy Grail War .

"Yokohama."

"No, there are too many sightlines here," said Holmes. "Tokyo, but not yet."

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Because it's bad luck."

"..."

Unfortunately, the meaning of this word is too broad.

"Intuition tells me that something is wrong." Holmes stared at Ayatsuji, narrowing his eyes slightly. "There is no need to question it. Unlike the cases I have solved this time, there is a mysterious force controlling the whole world. Most of the heroic spirits in the clock tower don't ask how they appeared, but this is obviously not right."

It seems that they are not born because of magicians, but for another reason. Holmes has participated in many mutations, and now the world seems to be in a strange state. bold idea-

The Holy Grail had already appeared before they were aware of it, so the subspecies Holy Grail War was delayed.

After all, compared to the huge unknown war, seizing the Holy Grail is the simplest and most efficient way to win. After all, it can realize all human wishes. Hitler once launched a world war just to get the Holy Grail. It can be seen that more than one person in power has such a idea.

But even so, there was still no sign of success in the subspecies Holy Grail War, but the heroic spirits appeared in a breakthrough, which is enough to show that something went wrong.

"Although there are national differences between us." Holmes said, "the destruction of human history is a disaster for the whole world, so I am just reminding you as a heroic spirit who has saved humanity countless times with a certain master of Chaldea. You, be careful about the possibility of the Holy Grail appearing in Japan."

After saying that, the detective put his pipe in front of Ayatsuji.

Ayatsuji raised his eyes slightly suspiciously: "..."

"Meeting ceremony." After saying that, the heroic spirit quickly transformed into a spirit body and disappeared in front of Ayatsuji.

Ayatsuji looked at the pipe on the table, hesitated for a moment, finally picked it up, and put it in his cloak pocket.

"I noticed that when Holmes and I were alone, you huddled there without saying a word. Why?" In the eyes of outsiders, Ayatsuji said lightly to the air, "Speaking of it, I don't seem to have asked Where did you come from."

Hei Ni: [... I think it's better for us to keep some secrets from each other. 】

"Are you the Holy Grail?"

【no. 】Hei Ni replied quickly, it has no need to lie, in fact, Ayatsuji also thinks that it has no such ability.

"Oh." So, his expression didn't change, "Then let me change the question, do you have anything to do with the Holy Grail?"

【…】

"I see." Ayatsuji said blankly, "Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with it."

[Don't you think this is a trouble? 】Hei Ni couldn't help asking, 【I thought...】

"You're worrying too much. As far as this matter is concerned, I should thank you instead."

But Ayatsuji didn't show any expression, because it wasn't troublesome for him, on the contrary, it meant that the initiative was in his hands again.To be honest, for Ayatsuji, he doesn't like words like "advice" being given to him, even if that person is his favorite character Sherlock Holmes.

From the very beginning, he has made no secret of his character, has a strong desire to control, and likes to have the upper hand in a relationship at any time, so if you want to establish a relationship with him, the other party must show weakness, because Ayatsuji will not For any relationship to be a soft spot, allow yourself to take a step back.

He thought, that's why Lantang and Ranbu were able to get a little closer to him, because they wouldn't press every step of the way.

And what happened recently made him feel that things were getting out of his control a little bit. Although he couldn't see it on the surface, in fact, he was indeed a little irritable. Although he was indeed a little smarter than ordinary people, it seemed Every enemy didn't treat him like he was 15 years old.

He has no one he can trust wholeheartedly and is under a lot of pressure.

Thinking of this, he laughed at himself, thinking that it was incredible that he would have such a shameful and weak thought.

Ayatsuji subconsciously put his hand into his pocket, and took out the pipe Holmes gave him again.

Although there are so many troubles, but now...

Ayatsuji glanced at Hei Ni again, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I didn't expect you to have other uses."

After saying this unclear sentence, he stroked the body of the pipe and held it in his hand. A vague thought arose in his heart. Ayatsuji's fingers curled up, and all the suppressed thoughts came out. A voice whispered, his hand was placed on the drawer, and after a moment of hesitation, he pulled it away.

—the lighter and tobacco were lying there quietly.

It was left by the previous leader, but Ayatsuji never touched it. He heard that smoking is a way to relieve stress.

He put the tobacco in the pipe, like loading a gun, except that when the lighter was lit, he hesitated, staring at the flame, not sure if he should touch such a thing, whether it was a sign of his self-control something is wrong.

However, at this moment, there was a knock on the door of the chief's office.

The sound caused Ayatsuji to quickly throw the pipe and lighter into the deepest part of the drawer as if waking up from a dream, and suddenly closed the drawer. Just as the person outside the door opened the door, he caught a glimpse of the tail of his movement, and he suspected that His eyes turned around on Ayatsuji.

"What are you doing?" Luanbu sniffed.

His eyes swept over Ayatsuji's body with an unnatural expression, and then he showed an expression of disbelief, and immediately stepped forward and put his hand on the table, staring at him with green eyes: "...wait a minute , are you smoking?!"

Osamu Dazai walked in after walking wildly, and immediately looked at Ayatsuji after hearing the words.

Ayatsuji: "..."

The author has something to say:

Although it is rumored that Ayatsuji is holding a pipe, but now Ayatsuji is still young, this is a bad habit, we should find someone to supervise him to prevent him from smoking.

ps: A small Shiba Inu finally came to the house today, which made the person who raised a dog for the first time very exhausted, so the number of words is just...
