Living in Yokohama

"The president was lost and lost his memory near the port mafia...?" Yosano Akiko rubbed her chin in thought, she looked up at the president Fukuzawa Yukichi, and made a judgment, "In other words, come The attackers were most likely members of the Port Mafia."

Dazai Osamu looked at the ceiling leisurely and did not speak, but Shirasaki thought of a person: the first name Masumi.

It's also a member of the port mafia, and it may have something to do with the game organizer.

... If it was her, the motive for doing this is very clear, after all, Shirasaki has a direct interest in that list.

But what's up with that magical ability to forget?A supernatural ability that directly acts on the mind? ... No, she has been paying attention to this since she suffered a certain loss, it can't be.

"Reality", she suddenly thought of what Dazai Osamu and Edogawa Ranpo said just now, if it was some kind of ability that directly acts on reality, it would be the same.

But how could it be possible for a person with this ability to remain unknown until now?How buggy is the ability to change reality?Back then, if she hadn't been too weak, it would take 800 minutes to run 5 meters, so if she had to choose the ability to protect herself, she would definitely choose another "wishes come true" speech ability, which is super easy to use just by hearing the name super exciting.

"Did you think of something, Bai?" Kunikida Doppo noticed Shirasaki's extraordinarily serious expression, stood up straight and asked, "Anything is a clue."

"...Didn't I ask Hanakou-senpai to investigate someone when I went to Hanakou-senpai's house?" Shirasaki hesitated for a moment, and then expressed his conjecture, "I think it might be that person who did it. I can probably guess the motive."

"? Last time?" Kunikida recalled for a while, only vaguely remembering a few words, "Hatsu...?"

"The first name is Masumi," Shirasaki completed the name, "that girl was also working in the port mafia."

"However, the information Senior Hanakura found was only the name and position, and even the photos are very blurry." Speaking of this, Shirasaki felt uneasy.

"I see." Fukuzawa Yukichi said calmly, "I will ask my acquaintances to investigate again later."

Kunikida nodded: "Then this matter... Hey Dazai! Don't hang yourself in the meeting!"

"...Hmm." Osamu Dazai slid down, propped his head and poked Shirasaki listlessly, "Xiaobai Xiaobai, was the cheese stick last time delicious~?"

"...!" It's okay not to mention cheese sticks, but Shirasaki is very angry when he mentions cheese sticks!

She didn't find cheese sticks of the same brand and taste in Tokyo before, so she thought it was a specialty of Yokohama, so she didn't take it seriously, and planned to look for it again when she returned to Yokohama.

In the end, fortunately, she was careful and kept the cheese stick that she handed over to her ten years later, otherwise she might have forgotten what the cheese stick looked like now!

Osamu Dazai smiled like a cat stealing fish. He proudly raised a finger and shook it left and right: "Do you want to eat? Do you want to eat?"

Shirasaki: ...

Shirasaki turned her head indifferently: "Don't eat."

Osamu Dazai let out a long sigh of disappointment: "What a pity."

"Ah, by the way, Abai," Edogawa Ranpo interrupted suddenly, "Remember to bring the leftover snacks here! I've already eaten up the last one!"

"...Huh? Okay." Bai Qi responded subconsciously, and then looked over in confusion, "But how did Luanbu know that I bought more than one...?" Snack gift packs are all packaged separately, and she also took the receipt. I put it away and didn't stuff it in. Is there any place where I can see the quantity I bought! ?

"? You just need to think about this kind of thing." Edogawa Ranpo looked at her very naturally, "There is indeed no direct 'external evidence', but it can be easily seen by combining other clues. Is there an answer!"

"...Ahaha." Baisaki smiled dryly, and resolutely skipped the topic, "I'll bring some over tomorrow."

Edogawa Ranpo puffed up his face and thought for a while, he raised the potato chips in his hand with a very serious look: "All of them must be liked by Master Ranpo!"

Shirasaki indulged: "No problem."

After getting the answer, Edogawa Ranpo returned to the chair in satisfaction, and took apart the potato chips in his hand.

At the end of the meeting, Osamu Dazai lay lazily on the chair and didn't want to move, and then he was thrown by the collar of the back of the computer by the angry Kunikida. He muttered and rubbed his head, and then sneaked out while Kunikida was not paying attention out of the office.

Looking at the familiar blue sky in Yokohama, he called Oda Sakunosuke: "How are you doing, Oda Saku?"

"Huh? It's okay." Oda Sakunosuke stopped writing and listened intently to the voice on the phone, "Did something happen?"

"Hmm... If you have to say it, the Armed Detective Agency was attacked just now!" Osamu Dazai said with obvious excitement in his tone, "Oh, a big explosion!"

He looked up at the detective agency on the fourth floor with a smile, but there was no smile in his eyes: "It's very serious. Although it is said to be a big explosion, it was silent... Maybe even the neighbors don't know that the detective agency has encountered such a disaster." Let's explode."

"...! Did you go after Saki again?"

"Hey, that's right." Osamu Dazai knocked on the phone case, "Are you going out for a drink now? Odasaku, it's rare that I sneak out again."

"Ah?" Oda Sakunosuke was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask much, "Now?"

"Well, see you, Lupin." Dazai Osamu hummed a few words, "Oh, yes, recently I found the textbook that Kunikida used to prepare when he was a teacher."

"There is such a definition in probability theory that something that is impossible to happen under certain conditions is called an impossible event, that is to say, the probability of an impossible event happening is zero. This is the definition. It is a cruel fact. , right Odasaku."

"Huh?" Oda Sakunosuke was at a loss, he found a trace of residual mathematical knowledge from the corner of his memory, "An event with a probability of zero is an impossible event, probably like this...?"

"No, Oda, the probability of an impossible event is zero, but a zero probability is not necessarily an impossible event," Osamu Dazai said briskly, "However, since you know that the probability is zero but still expect it to happen, it must be Stupid, the kind that's only a little smarter than a slug."

"what……?"

"I can say anything~"

-

After Hatsune Masumi attacked the Armed Detective Agency (allegedly), the Port Mafia calmed down quite a bit.

... No, I can't say it's calm, because you can still see people from the port mafia collecting protection fees from businesses on the street at any time, and you can also bump into unseen incidents in the streets and alleys from time to time. Everything seems to be in harmony with Nothing has changed before.

In addition to reducing the frequency of chasing and killing Shirasaki.

It's been five days, and she only met Ryunosuke Akutagawa twice, and both times the other party didn't intend to pursue him in depth, and he was in a hurry, as if he had something else to do.

This is not at all the ferocious look that wished to blow up all her bases five days ago!

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, Shirasaki thinks it must have something to do with the first name Masumi.

But the problem is that even if something happened to Masumi Hatsune and she cannot analyze and provide her information in time, and the game organizer regularly refreshes her location, and the eyes and ears of the port mafia in the streets and alleys, it will never let Ryunosuke Akutagawa come out within five days. Chase her down twice.

Although it was rare for him to be able to take time off to meet Sakunosuke Oda, but the situation was so abnormal that Shirasaki did not dare to go.

Then Oda Sakunosuke came to the door.

"——!!" When I met Sakunosuke Oda head-on on the street, seeing that Oda still wanted to walk towards her, Shirasaki's heartbeat stopped for a few seconds. She held down her hat to calm down, faintly He took a quick look at Oda Sakunosuke, then walked away with him as if nothing had happened.

Fortunately, Oda Sakunosuke understood what she meant, and continued to walk forward without changing his face. After walking around for about ten minutes, they met tacitly in a certain alley extending in all directions.

Shirasaki breathed a sigh of relief, and then worried: "What happened, Oda?"

Oda Sakunosuke understood her situation, and almost never took the initiative to find her. Is there anything that must be told to her now?

Oda Sakunosuke stroked her hair and shook his head: "No, I just want to see you."

"...Ah?" Bai Qi couldn't laugh or cry, "If you call me, I will find time to go there. It's too dangerous to meet on the street."

"Well, I know." Oda Sakunosuke replied, "But I always feel that I want to see you now."

After drinking with Dazai that day, Oda Sakunosuke always had a bad premonition in his heart. He couldn't tell what it was, but it was the same as the MIMIC incident two years ago, with a feeling of "something has to change".

And what Dazai said that day also made him feel very strange, not only the strange words such as "impossible event" and "probability is zero" on the phone, but also what Dazai said in the bar, "I don't want to What is lost will be lost", "Those who stay can only wait for the result", these kinds of things sound confusing and confusing.

In the past few days, he would recall the words that Osamu Dazai said from time to time, and he always felt that it would be impossible not to meet Shirasaki, so he was writing a new novel at the desk just now, and the next second he put down his pen and pointed here come.

It's strange to say that Yokohama is so big, and he was going out aimlessly, and he happened to meet Shirasaki who came to this street.

"What, you make it sound like you won't be able to see me again," Bai Qi pretended to be angry, she thrust her waist, "I'm not planning to die yet?"

"Sorry." Oda Sakunosuke lowered his head and said sincerely, "Let me treat you to something."

"Now?" Bai Xiao hesitated, "I'm afraid not... Recently, the movement of the port mafia has been weird, and I always have a bad feeling."

"Me too." After a pause, Oda Sakunosuke's expression was extremely serious, he looked at Shirasaki seriously, "Be careful."

"? Well, I will." Shirasaki just wanted to leave, but for some reason, she suddenly turned around and hugged Oda Sakunosuke.

"...?" Assistant Oda Sakuyuki froze in the air, and it took him a long time to gently stroke her hair, "What's wrong...?"

"It's nothing." Bai Qi took a deep breath, "... In the past two and a half years, I really think I haven't hugged anyone like this, I always feel so nostalgic."

"...Goodbye, Oda."
