Living in Yokohama

Murphy's Law.

A psychological effect, to the effect that if one of two or more choices makes the current situation worse, then someone will definitely make that choice.

In layman's terms, that is——

The more you don't want something to happen, the more likely it is to happen.

Across the pile of wreckage, the orange-haired young man on the opposite side tilted his head slightly, and a strand of hair slipped down. After a short period of confusion, he tentatively asked, "Are... are your eyes okay?"

Grass! !Why is Nakahara Chuya here! !Is it okay for the port mafia to show up directly here! !Shirasaki's eyes almost went black.

Under Tanizaki Junichiro's suspicious gaze, Shirasaki weighed his words and replied with difficulty: "It's all over...you still remember me."

The orange-haired youth - Nakahara Chuya gave her an inexplicable look: "Of course." Even in the slums, it was rare to see Shirasaki as miserable at that time.

After all, most of those people don't know where they died, and there are not many people who can survive and earn enough money to heal their eyes.

"It seems that you are doing well now," Zhong Yuanzhong also tugged on his gloves, and his tone was casual, but with a bit of sincerity, "Congratulations."

"...Well, thank you." Bai Qi was silent for a while, she pursed her lips, and then she suddenly remembered something, and took out the wallet from her pocket, "Oh, yes, I will return the money back to you."

"Ah? No need." Zhongya Nakahara waved his hand, looking like he didn't care, but Shirasaki forcefully stuffed the money into his hand. Looking at the girl who quickly backed away ten meters after stuffing it, Zhongya Nakahara A little helpless, "...forget it."

But that's where the exchange ends.

Although she and Zhong Yuanzhong also had some intersections, after all, it was only a one-time relationship, and they were not familiar with each other. After a short exchange, the scene quickly cooled down.

At this time, Shirasaki's feverish mind finally calmed down a bit, and she had the energy to recall all the things that happened just now, she couldn't help whipping Osamu Dazai crazily in her heart.

Grass!This dog comparison must be considered good, and Zhongyuanzhong will come here too!

— half an hour ago.

Osamu Dazai made a detailed plan for this mission.

...Although it is detailed, this plan seems a bit inexplicable.

The content of the plan is as follows: First, arrive at a certain coffee shop located on a street outside the bank, sit down and have a cup of coffee and wait for a slug cry (?), and then Tanizaki uses his ability to hide the figures of the hostages while taking advantage of the chaos. The protective shield protects the hostages from the rain of bullets in the wooden storehouse, while Kunikida takes care of everything else, and Yosano Akiko takes care of the seriously injured.

The meaning of the slug call is very unclear. After waiting patiently for a while, seeing that Osamu Dazai had no intention of explaining, Tanizaki Junichiro repeated it as if to prove it: "... slug call?"

Osamu Dazai still did not explain, and said with a sure face: "Slug."

Dr. Xie Ye put on white gloves, and slowly tidied up the edges of the gloves: "It sounds quite simple."

It certainly sounds easy!Kunikida's veins burst out, he shook Osamu Dazai's collar desperately and roared: "Dazai! What kind of plan is this! Isn't the key part completely omitted!"

Only Shirasaki remained silent, nodded to express his understanding, and thought for a while: "Then I'll order an iced Americano... What do you want to drink? I'm treating guests today—except for Dazai."

Osamu Dazai was shocked. Even though he was being held by the collar, he still turned his head to look at her with difficulty, and said indignantly, "How can you treat her differently, Xiaobai! Don't you have any love from your colleagues!"

I have a ghostly colleague love with you.

Bai Qi ignored him and looked at the others: "What about you? What do you want to drink?"

"..." Kunikida looked helpless, "You are making fun of me! There are problems everywhere in this battle plan, right?"

"...It's okay." Although she didn't know what it meant to wait for a slug to cry, but the experience of the past six months told her: Osamu Dazai's plan would not go wrong.

No one in this world knows this fact better than her.

As for what a slug is... Anyway, it must be a person, and it is a tool that can be used.

——But she never expected that the slug refers to Nakahara Chuya!

Hastily.

Her intuition is not without warning, but this place is already dangerous, so even if there is warning, she doesn't think too much. If she knew that it was Nakahara Chuya, she, she... let Tanizaki hide her in advance!It won't be what it is now!

Shirasaki didn't actually think that Nakahara still remembered that he had helped her. Compared with remembering this, Shirasaki who knew that she was hunted down by the port mafia worth 250 billion for two and a half years was more likely to be remembered by Nakahara.

Although Zhong Yuanzhong seems to have not noticed that the person in front of him is a target of Hong Kong gangsters worth 250 billion US dollars (emphasis).

... Then, when Central Plains finds out, what will he do?Will he fulfill his duties as a port mafia cadre?Shirasaki just thought silently.

At this time, Junichiro Tanizaki's subconscious gasp interrupted Shirasaki's thoughts. Following the direction of her gaze, she noticed a black figure with her back facing her in the crowd in the distance. The tall stone on the ruins jumped to the balcony in the distance!

After the dance, Shirasaki subconsciously felt that something was wrong, turned her head cautiously, and saw Junichiro Tanizaki looking at her in confusion beside the ruins.

Shirasaki: ...

I'm sorry, I'm not very proficient in business, and I forgot that there is someone beside me.

She suddenly felt guilty, and under Nakahara Nakaya's blank gaze, she picked up the bewildered Tanizaki Junichiro, der, der, der jumped onto the apartment building, and then disappeared on the street.

The wind blowing on his face was cool and comfortable, Junichiro Tanizaki blinked his eyes slowly.

……Hey?

"Hey hey hey hey?!" Tanizaki Junichiro screamed in panic, and because Shirasaki took all kinds of dangerous roads and didn't dare to struggle too much, he wanted to cry without tears, "Ah Bai I can walk by myself!"

However, it was too late to say this, in such a short moment, Shirasaki had already carried him back to the detective agency.

Edogawa Ranpo didn't go to the scene, seeing Shirasaki put Tanizaki who had stiffened into a corpse carefully on the ground, his eyes lit up: "Interesting!"

"Huh?" Shirasaki turned her head, inexplicably comprehended the meaning of Edogawa Ranpo's eyes, "Do you want to try?"

Ranbu opened his hands very naturally, and looked at Baisaki calmly, just like the cat that Baisaki had raised for a while in his previous life, he would often stand on her lap, put her arm around her to beg for rua, and it was also very similar to her The three-year-old niece reveals a kind of innocence and cuteness that does not violate harmony.

So Baisaki skillfully took him under his arms and picked him up, like coaxing a child to throw him up.

Edogawa Ranpo: ...

He looked very serious: "One more time!"
