Canary of the gods

Mihashi Rina and Asada, who had heard about the tragedy, were neither advancing nor retreating.

"Do you... want to stop them?" Mihashi Rina looked at Asada in embarrassment.

Asada was silent for a while, then decided: "I'd better go and have a look, don't really make a fuss..."

But the farce over there ended pretty quickly.

Asada walked out a few steps, beat up Dazai Osamu and let out a bad breath, and now looking refreshed, a temple priest appeared from around the corner.

Asada subconsciously glanced at Shuichi Ichijo, but found no trace of Osamu Dazai.Cautiously, he tentatively asked: "Mr. Yiyiji Temple, Mr. Dazai...?"

It won't really be a problem, will it?

Ji Yiji did not answer, and raised his hand and pulled it——Asada realized that Ji Yiji was holding a sand-colored belt in his hand, which seemed to be from Dazai Osamu’s windbreaker——Dazai Osamu, who tilted his head and didn’t know what to do. He was dragged and appeared in front of Asada's eyes. It turned out that the handsome face was so bruised and swollen that he couldn't see its original shape. It looked extremely miserable.

Seeing Osamu Dazai's miserable state, Asada couldn't help but wiped his sweat, "Is this... no, no problem?"

A temple cultivator snorted, and said lightly, "I can't die."

"……"Fine.

Walking to the door of Rina Mihashi's rented house, a priest threw away the windbreaker belt in his hand, and Osamu Dazai fell to the ground with a "boom" without support.

This seemed to turn on his switch, he fell to the ground and moaned, woke up slowly, rubbed his head and got up, muttering and complaining: "Xiu Jun... Next time, either be gentler, or just send me to death Okay? It hurts..."

Ji Yiji ignored him, took off his shoes and walked into the house with Rina Mihashi.

The house Rina Mihashi rented was not big, and after entering the door, one could take in the whole house at a glance.

The kitchen and the living room are connected together. There are two doors on the wall facing the main entrance, one on the left and one on the right. On the surface, there is no difference. It is difficult to tell which one is the bedroom and which one is the bathroom.

One Temple took a look, and asked Rina Mihashi directly: "Where is the bedroom?"

"Ah, this way." Mihashi Rina stepped forward a few steps, and opened the door to the bedroom on the right.

The two walked into the bedroom first, and Asada was about to walk over, but Dazai Osamu's voice suddenly came from behind, "Has Mr. Asada ever been to Miss Mihashi's house before?"

Asada smiled and said, "Rina hasn't agreed to my pursuit yet. Although I've been taking her to and from get off work recently, I haven't paid a formal visit to her yet."

"Huh? Really..." Osamu Dazai said meaningfully, "That's really strange. When Xiu asked Miss Mitsuhashi where the bedroom was just now, did Mr. Asada subconsciously look to the right?"

"?!"

Asada's footsteps stopped suddenly, and cold sweat unknowingly oozes from the forehead.

"What a coincidence, Miss Mihashi's bedroom happens to be behind the door on the right."

"Yes, is it?" He calmed down and said in a relaxed tone, "Then my guess is quite accurate? Haha, or do you have a heart-to-heart with Rina?"

Osamu Dazai let out a "huh", "That's right~"

After finishing speaking, he patted Asada on the shoulder, walked out from behind him, and walked briskly past him into the bedroom.

Ok?

that's it?

Asada thought that Osamu Dazai would hold on to this problem, but he didn't expect him to let it go so easily.

What is this guy...

Asada's hand hanging by his side unconsciously clenched into a fist, so tightly that you could almost see the bulging veins on the back of the hand.Of course, he didn't stay where he was for long. After sorting out his emotions a bit, he was the last one to enter the bedroom.

Mihashi Rina's room was clean and tidy, with everything neatly arranged, and there were very few trivial things, which made her feel very comfortable at first glance.

Osamu Dazai couldn't help boasting: "Miss Mihashi's room is so clean."

Mihashi Rina looked around and said, "Probably because there aren't too many things."

"Eh? It's been a month since I've lived here, hasn't Ms. Mihashi arranged anything you like?" Osamu Dazai sighed, then pulled "Akiko" out and said, "Akiko is different, she moved to the dormitory. On the first day, I bought all kinds of useless things and filled the dormitory in such a garish manner that no one could get a foothold when they walked in."

Rina Mihashi scratched her reddish cheeks, as if the "Akiko" Dazai Osamu was talking about was her.

"Actually, I have also bought it, but I have been preparing to move in the past week, so..."

"Huh? Is Ms. Mihashi planning to move?" Osamu Dazai seemed a little surprised, but he quickly thought: "That's right, if something like this happened, it wouldn't be safe to continue living here alone."

Mihashi Rina nodded and said, "Yes, my friend asked me to live with her after learning about the recent incident."

She also said: "Actually, my friend invited me to live with her when she first found out where I worked. But I was worried that it would cause trouble for her, and I just found a suitable house here, so I refused. .”

"Eh? It's a friend..." Osamu Dazai glanced at Asada suddenly, and said meaningfully, "I thought..."

Mihashi Rina followed his line of sight, and happened to meet Asada's gaze, and immediately retracted his gaze as if being electrocuted, and hurriedly waved his hand to explain: "No, although Asada-senpai also invited..."

At this point, she suddenly realized what she had said unintentionally, and belatedly covered her mouth, her eyes opened wide, like a frightened deer.

It's a pity that it's too late to react now.

Osamu Dazai covered his mouth with a smirk, and jokingly looked between Rina Mihashi and Asada, "Oh~ so Mr. Asada invited you to move there too?"

Rina Mihashi was at a loss for words for a while, and looked at Asada helplessly.

Asada coughed, walked to Mihashi Rina, put his arms around her shoulders in a protective manner, and said solemnly: "Mr. Dazai, please stop joking, you were commissioned by Rina to help investigate The stalker?"

The implication is that if you have time to tease his sweetheart here, why not investigate the truth earlier.

"Yes Yes--"

Osamu Dazai accepted it as soon as he saw it, and walked to the side of a temple with a bumpy footstep.

"How is it? Did you find anything suspicious?"

"... a bit strange."

"Huh? Where?"

A monk did not reply, he was standing by the window to check, his brows were slightly frowned, looking very confused.

The window has been opened by him, and he has checked the outside.

As Mihashi Rina said, the gap outside the window is no more than half the size of a palm, and there is very little room to use force. If someone goes in and out through the window, they must have excellent physical and arm strength.

But what puzzled him was not this, but the palm print on the window frame.

The original palm print on the window frame has been wiped off by Mihashi Rina, but for a priest, it is not difficult at all to observe the palm print with his own eyes, just think about it and realize it immediately.

Therefore, Osamu Dazai was not too surprised when he saw the palm print on the window frame, but asked, "Is it the new one or the old one?"

A temple repair: "Before."

Osamu Dazai nodded, accepting this well.

At this time, Rina Mihashi and Asada also came over, and when the former saw the palm print on the window frame, he couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"This?!"

She covered her mouth in surprise and fear, and subconsciously leaned in the direction of Asada, "I remember that I wiped off that mark! Could it be that guy broke in again while I was going out?" Already?!"

The moment he saw the palm print, Mr. Asada's pupils trembled violently, and he seemed to be equally frightened.

Osamu Dazai waved his hands at them and explained: "Don't be nervous, this is Xiu Jun's supernatural ability, which can move an object back a certain time."

A temple repair did not refute.

Hearing this, Rina Mihashi patted her chest and let out a sigh of relief. She thought it was that guy who broke into her house again, and it scared her to death.

Unlike Rina Mihashi, Asada seemed to be more nervous. He stared at the half palm print with a fierce expression as if he wanted to eat it.It's just that everyone's attention was not on him at the moment, so they couldn't find out what was wrong with him in time.

"strangeness……"

A temple cultivator stared at the half of the palm print, as if he couldn't figure out something.

"What's wrong?" Dazai asked.

"The place where the traces are left is not right." A temple repair said with a frown.

"Ok?"

Osamu Dazai, who hadn't paid much attention before, took a closer look and understood what he meant after a while.

"Huh? Really..."

Near the corner of the window, there is half a palm print.In fact, it is a bit reluctant to say that it is half of them. If Dazai Osamu said, it can only be counted as one-third.There is no finger part left in the palm print, and there is only half of the palm. To be precise, it should be the part below the base of the thumb, the size of the thenar muscles.

The two of them sensed something was wrong, but Rina Mihashi didn't understand, "What's wrong?"

"Well, the explanation alone may not be very clear..." Dazai Osamu hadn't finished speaking, and the priest standing next to him jumped out of the window without saying a word!

Mihashi Rina and Asada: "!!!"

Such a big person jumped out of the window right under her nose. Before Mihashi Rina had time to scream, a monk easily grabbed the window frame and poked his head out.

"..."

The scream that had just reached her throat was abruptly swallowed by her, and Rina Miyashi was so frightened that she said with trembling lips, "Mr.

"Huh?" Osamu Dazai put his hands in the pockets of his long coat, and said in a relaxed tone: "It's okay, Xiu-kun is just confirming his guess."

"..." Mihashi Rina clutched her pounding heart, obviously she was not the one who jumped from the window, but she was more scared than the person involved.

Tremblingly, she leaned towards Asada, and said in a weak voice, "You, you mean...guess? What?"

"Yeah." Osamu Dazai moved aside, pointed to a priest's hand clasped on the window frame and was exerting force, and explained, "Look, if the palm print was left when the prisoner climbed the window, then The location of the thenar muscles should not be here."

He compared the position of the next monk's hand with the palm print on the window frame, and it was obvious that the palm of the former was farther back than the latter.

"If the palm is in this position, look." Osamu Dazai made gestures, aligning his palm with the position of the palm print on the window frame, "At this time, a triangular area is formed between the forearm and the palm, and the inside of the wrist is empty. Yes, it can't exert force well at all."

"..." Mihashi Rina nodded and frowned involuntarily, "Then how did you leave this palm print?"

Osamu Dazai smiled slightly, leaned his back against the window sill, and supported the window frame with one hand, "That's right."

Mihashi Rina's eyes widened involuntarily.

"That is to say..."

"That is to say..." Osamu Dazai was about to answer, when a very impatient voice from the priest suddenly came from outside the window.

"How long are you going to block the window, bastard?!"
