Eros might be a sea king

[Time]: The day after the festival ends, at 9:00 am

[Location]: The coffee shop downstairs of the detective agency

[Characters]: Edogawa Ranpo, Dazai Osamu, Nakajima Atsushi, Kunikida Doppo, Tanizaki Naomi, Tanizaki Junichiro, Miyazawa Kenji, Yosano Akiko, Starlight Rin [Event]: To celebrate Mr. Ranpo's business trip back tea party

"Speaking of which, I also heard about the case on the street broadcast before. It is said that the murderer was extremely cunning and the police did nothing. I didn't expect Mr. Ranpo to crack it after only a few days of business trip. It's really amazing!"

Atsushi Nakajima said while looking adoringly at Ranpo Edogawa, who was dressed in a detective uniform and had a delicate appearance and a strong sense of youth.

"It's nothing to a famous detective, after all, I have the ability "super reasoning" that can see through the truth at a glance. "Edogawa Ranpo is obviously used to this kind of praise, and he doesn't take it seriously.

""Super-super reasoning"? !There is such a useful ability...! Atsushi Nakajima was shocked.

"Because it's Ranpo-sama's supernatural ability, so of course it will be very powerful."

Xing Guanglin was lost in thought when he heard the words.

In fact, he came here today just to look at the renovation progress of his office, and then he was dragged here for coffee inexplicably by the members of the detective agency opposite.

Although it is not particularly unusual to have supernatural powers in this world, he did not feel any "supernatural powers" in Edogawa Ranpo.

But looking at the way other people think it is...

Anyway, it felt weird to him.

Moreover, if it is really possible to see through the truth at a glance, wouldn't his identity and purpose be exposed?

Can human beings really see through the insurmountable dimensional wall and see through the essence of gods?

Xing Guanglin showed an interested expression, "See through the truth at a glance? Is there such a superpower?"

"Mr. Ranpo's reasoning ability is indeed very powerful."

"It's "supernormal ability", not reasoning ability! "Ranbu corrected.

"Hey hey~"

"By the way, because of the existence of Mr. Ranpo, our detective agency can't play games like please close your eyes when it's dark and kill werewolves."

"It's the same with Dazai-san around, right?"

"It's true, both of them are terrible."

Xingguang Rin passed Ranpo's line verification before and exchanged each other's mailboxes, so although Ranpo is not in Yokohama these days, they are still in intermittent contact through the Internet.

Of course, most of the time it is chaotic and active.

Relying on the friendship cultivated in the past few days, Xingguang Rin walked up to the famous detective who kept eating rough snacks, "Mr. Ranpo, come and play "Please close your eyes when it gets dark". "

"Huh? Such a simple game, where you can find out the truth in minutes, is meaningless to a famous detective. However, if Rin asks me—"

Mr. Ranpo seems to be very childish, and he likes to be coaxed by others?

Such a simple request is of course no problem.

Cupid raised his beautiful and delicate eyebrows, and the sun cast a bright halo on his pretty face, so that his light-colored eyes became even more dazzling and gorgeous, "Then, please Mr. Ranpo."

In this case, there is no way to refuse.

Edogawa Ranpo stopped eating snacks, and said to himself: "Since Rin has asked me to, let's play this game together - it is destined that "I will win". "

"I'm really looking forward to Rin-kun becoming a killer." Osamu Dazai also said with great interest.

Others have also expressed their willingness to participate in this game.

So, gamestart.

[Game]: Please close your eyes when it gets dark (also known as the killing game, a game of eloquence, logic and wisdom.)

[Player]: Edogawa Ranpo, Dazai Osamu, Nakajima Atsushi, Kunikida Doppo, Tanizaki Naomi, Tanizaki Junichiro, Miyazawa Kenji, Yosano Akiko, Starlight Rin [Configuration]: 1 killer, 7 civilians, 1 police

[Rules]: Through the speeches of everyone present, vote to find the real killer. The killer's victory condition is to kill the police/kill all civilians.

[Judge]: Miss coffee shop maid

[The first night]: The person who died was Edogawa Ranpo, please leave a last message.

"I knew it would be like this," Ranpo sighed, and then added without interest, "The murderer is Junichiro Tanizaki."

"Since Ranpo-san said so, let's vote Junichiro away."

"Sure enough, the first night is over?"

In this way, Miyazawa Kenji and Kunikida decided Tanizaki Junichiro's life as a killer with an understatement.

"...Wait, wait! Don't you listen to my excuse?!" Tanizaki Junichiro let out a desperate cry.

However it was of no use.

And soon he realized what it means to "destroy relatives with righteousness"——

"Brother really didn't want to kill me on the first night, it was so beautiful and touching~"

Hey, even my own sister just listened to Mr. Ranpo's one-sided words, and did not hesitate to convict my brother for covering the coffin? !

Atsushi Nakajima felt confused.

He felt it was wrong to follow suit, and it was too unfair to Tanizaki-san.

So he chose to speak out to support the other party——

"Wait, wait a minute... On the first day, there were no clues at all. It's really not enough to rely on Mr. Ranpo's one-sided words. We should listen to Tanizaki's defense and everyone's speech..."

"Mr. Ranpo is right." Osamu Dazai interrupted Atsushi Nakajima's impassioned speech.

"Eh, even Dazai-san is so sure?"

"The identity I drew was a police officer, and the person who was checked on the first night was Tanizaki-kun. He is indeed a killer." Osamu Dazai explained with a smile.

"This...is this..."

So Tanizaki Junichiro was unanimously out of the game without any suspense.

Judge: "Junichiro Tanizaki is unanimously out, the identity is a killer, and the civilian side wins!"

The next two rounds are the same as before. As long as Dazai and Ranpo are alive, and the killer does not kill the police with a single blow, the civilians will win.

Game [-] was a little bit different because the killer was Osamu Dazai, so the game ended without even going through the first day of voting.

The killer Osamu Dazai killed the policeman Kunikida Doppo directly with the first knife.

Xing Guanglin lowered his head and took a sip of his coffee, and when he looked up again, his eyes collided with Osamu Dazai, who raised the corners of his lips, as if he had some deep meaning.

These two...

Really great humans.

However, Xingguang Rin is very curious, can Edogawa Ranpo and Dazai Osamu see through him as a god at a glance.

For example, his identity in this game is "policeman".

After thinking about it, he decided to imply that the person the judge was going to investigate on the first night was Dazai.

Then he saw the judge give a thumbs up gesture, which meant that Osamu Dazai was confirmed as the "killer" of this game.

Will it be killed?

Looking forward to it a little bit.

【Judge】: It was Ranpo Edogawa who died on the first night, please leave your last words.

The famous detective opened his emerald green eyes, "Dazai, you are still as wicked as ever."

The black-haired young man didn't care at all, he said without much resistance: "Ah, even I was seen through by Mr. Ranpo?"

"After eliminating all the suspects, only you and Rin are left." In other words, everyone else has been seen through as "not the killer", so the rest is naturally the "killer".

"Hey, then why did the last words only mention me?"

"Because Ranpo-sama is happy. "As I wish, everything is fine.""

Osamu Dazai chuckled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, "You're so cunning, when did Ranpo-san become so "human"? "

"Seeing the first person you killed Dazai, Ranpo-sama immediately understood, hmph."

No one likes the feeling of being completely seen through—

Especially the kind of "superior existence".

It's just that games of this level can be seen through immediately, which is nothing.

However, if you don't want your "person of interest" to be full of vigilance, it's better to play dumb quietly at this moment.

That's right, Dazai.

.

"Sure enough, this game can't go on well without Dazai and Ranpo-san."

"...yeah, never even seen the second night..."

"So it's better to change the game, right?"

"Then why don't you just change that? The new members come to guess the previous occupation of the senior, Atsu-kun, do you want to play?" Osamu Dazai suggested with a smile.

"Um... good, good!"

So Atsushi Nakajima began to guess from Tanizaki, and when it was Osamu Dazai's turn, he frowned, "Mr. Dazai...why is Mr. Dazai completely clueless when it's his turn..."

Kunikida pushed his glasses, and said clearly: "Don't waste your time, brat. The last job of the bastard Dazai was one of the seven mysteries of the Armed Detective Agency."

"However, if you guess correctly, there will be a bonus. Now it has risen to 70, right?" Osamu Dazai mentioned nonchalantly.

70...70...70? !

The power of money is indeed powerful,

Honest people like Atsushi Nakajima also started talking nonsense——

"Civil servants? Drivers? Office workers, lawyers, actors, factory workers... balabala..."

Osamu Dazai shook his head like a rattle, "It's all wrong. Rin-kun, do you want to come and guess?"

Xing Guanglin looked steadily at the black-haired young man in front of him, propped his chin with one hand, and lazily said: "The words of Mr. Dazai... are inexplicably suitable for the mafia."

The cafe was silent for a few seconds.

Edogawa Ranpo opened his emerald green eyes.

Osamu Dazai narrowed his eyes and asked softly, "What an interesting answer. Can you tell me why?"

"It's nothing. I just suddenly remembered how Dazai-kun was wearing a black yukata at the festival that day. A person who can wear black so well...isn't it a pity not to be a mafia?" Xingguang Lin replied half-truthfully.

"Bastard Dazai, the other day you said you had a stomachache, but you were lying. Did you actually go to a festival?!"

Kunikida-kun obviously paid more attention to the bastard Dazai Osamu who lied to him again.

"Well~" Dazai began to avoid Kunikida's pursuit, and then he came in front of Xingguang Rin, took the opponent's hand and lamented: "Rin-kun is really too powerful, but 70 or something... With me now Sure enough, it can only be paid with flesh, right?"

Xing Guanglin ruthlessly shook off the hand of the black-haired young man, and expressed his disgust with his eyes.

Edogawa Ranpo said at this time: "Anyway, Rin is not a member of the detective agency, so he is not within the scope of rewards. Dazai, you should save yourself the pork."

"Eh? I guess I'm in pretty good shape? After all, I don't have one ab like Mr. Ranpo."

"How many abdominal muscles does Mr. Dazai have?" Xing Guanglin squinted at him.

"8 yuan, Mr. Rin, do you want to touch it?"

"No need. So Dazai-kun just changed from pork belly to pork loin."

"Pfft~" Edogawa Ranpo was happy, he laughed from the bottom of his heart, and cast a meaningful glance at Osamu Dazai.

"Huh?! So Mr. Dazai really used to be a mafia?!" Atsushi Nakajima was shocked.

"That's right, but I'm already a good person, and now I'm extremely kind and helpful~ By the way, the little man you saw that day is actually the same, and it's a murderous mafia active. It's better not to be that kind of dangerous person It’s better to have a relationship.”

Dwarf?

"Mr. Chuya?"

"Yes, that slug."

Xing Guanglin was speechless, Osamu Dazai is really happy to slander Chuya in the Central Plains.

However, Nakahara Chuya's face... Compared to the black suit, I want to see the other party wearing women's clothes and looking like a young lady.

After all, that's a sex-transformed version of the source sauce.

Speaking of which, he still owes himself a favor...

Looks like it's time to ask Mr. Zhongya out for a get-together.
