Living in Yokohama

"... Dazai..."

The last ray of warm light from the setting sun passed through the girl's body, her eyes were empty, staring blankly at the almost transparent fingertips.

She instinctively felt sad, raised her head slightly, leaned against Dazai's chest and whispered:

"...Am I going to disappear...?"

Osamu Dazai rested his forehead on top of her head, and repeated it over and over again, whether it was to convince the girl or himself: "No, there must be some way to stop it, Xiaobai, don't be afraid, it will definitely be possible."

The girl blinked blankly, and touched his face with her almost transparent hand. He didn't cry, but his eyes looked desperate as if he saw the abyss of hell. She touched his eyes, wanting to say that she was not afraid of disappearing, as She in the world book should not exist here, but seeing this person so sad, the girl's heart is as sour and bitter as if soaked in lemon juice.

"It's okay," the girl said softly, "I shouldn't be here, don't be sad for me."

"...Xiaobai, do you remember anything?" Osamu Dazai sensed something was wrong, he pressed the girl's head to his chest, and eagerly confirmed, "It's fine, do you remember anything?"

There was a long silence, the afterglow gradually disappeared, the air gradually became cold, the heartbeat was infinitely elongated, and there was a buzzing in the ears. After an unknown amount of time, Osamu Dazai heard her answer: "I remember you."

The girl closed her eyes, her heart beating like a drum in her ear, she quietly leaned on Dazai's chest: "The one who has been calling me... Dazai..."

Dazai: "..."

Dazai: "...do you remember...me?"

The girl said softly: "I heard your voice and remembered you, so I came back."

But even though she remembered, the girl only knew the name "Dazai". She was full of confusion and thought: She heard the voice of this person, but why did she hear the call of the human beings in the world when she has been sleeping all this time?

Is she... really... the [World Book]?

"...Really." Osamu Dazai closed his eyes, exhaled slowly, and hugged her by the waist, "Anyway, get out of here first."

People from the combination and the port mafia are always coveting the detective agency, and when the detective agency loses the memory of Shirasaki, it is obviously not a good idea to take Shirasaki to Wanxiangtang. Once the combination attacks the detective agency, it will be difficult for Osamu Dazai To keep Shirasaki in the crisis, Osamu Dazai could only hastily choose another destination.

Osamu Dazai took Shirasaki back home, and at this time, there was already an unexpected guest in the house.

"...Ah, you are here," Dazai Osamu smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes, "What did you do?"

Hatsune Masumi's face was pale, and he could barely sit on the ground by propping up the table: "I was counted...those guys."

Today, she used tricks to steal Blanchesso from Fyodor's hands, took a little effort to unlock the seal on Blanchesso, and controlled Blanchesso to open the door to communicate with the parallel world.

Everything should have gone smoothly, but an accident occurred when communicating with her in the parallel world.

——The game party intervened in this communication and forcibly changed the "instructions".

Originally, she planned to let her in the parallel world write down the rule that "Shirasaki and Masumi are heterogeneous twins", and then use Bailan Jesso's ability as a springboard to fuse the parallel world with part of the reality of this world, so that this world can This rule is also used to change the reality, allowing the first name Masumi and Shirasaki to use the identity of "Shirasaki" to survive in this world.

This is the best choice for both, none of them will disappear, and Masumi does not have to choose to kill Atsushi Nakajima, which will definitely make Shirasaki angry.

The first name Masumi pursed her lips, her expression full of guilt: "I thought those guys made a deal with me just to—" just to use her power as a world book!But I didn't expect the people from the game party to be so bold as to try to control the world book!

"No wonder Shirasaki can pass through the world wall." Those bastards probably planned to let Shirasaki replace her as the world book at that time. The idea hit Shirasaki.

Osamu Dazai pressed Shirasaki's wrist, and found the answer from the clues in Hatsune Masumi's words: "Is it the game organizer's tricks?...They covet your power, so Xiaobai became like this?"

"Well," Hatsue Masumi looked at the girl with empty eyes in Dazai's arms, and said with downcast eyes, "Give me her hand."

Shirasaki has no proof and doesn't know how to use the power of the world book, even if he is forced to stay by Dazai Osamu's emotions, he won't be able to hold on for long.

Hatsina Masumi clasped her hand, and slowly introduced the original power belonging to the world book into Shirasaki's body, and cooperated with the shimmering light filling her body, making Shirasaki's body gradually solidify.

However, this is also a palliative, not a permanent solution.

Hatsune Masumi asked: "Have you contacted the detective agency? Do they still remember Shirasaki?"

"...Unfortunately, I'm afraid no one remembers." Osamu Dazai looked out the window, "And the current detective agency doesn't have time to think about it."

What happened to Shirasaki disrupted all of Dazai Osamu's plans, even if Dazai Osamu had exhaustive plans, he would never have expected the hands and feet of people outside the world.

"The situation is probably worse than both of us expected." Hatsina Masumi took a deep breath and told the information she knew one by one.

The devil Fyodor left Blanchesso there on purpose for her to steal it, probably because he was planning to attack the part of the world she fused with.

Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky, whose goal is to eliminate all superhuman beings from the world.But even if the existing people with supernatural abilities in the world are killed, newborns may reawaken their supernatural abilities in the future, so the only way is to make the "there are no people with supernatural abilities in the world" take effect in reality.

"I see." Dazai Osamu was thoughtful, "It seems that Fyodor the Demon also cooperated with the game organizer in some way."

Because of the cooperation with the game organizer, Fyodor stole Blanchesso and gave it to Masumi Hatsina, and the organizer of the game was responsible for changing the "instructions" that Masumi Hatsune gave when communicating with the parallel world, so that Bai Saki and her first name Masumi switched identities, and wrote down the reality that "there are no people with supernatural powers in the world".

This part of the reality of the two worlds merges with each other, that is to say: "Will the people with supernatural powers in this world... temporarily lose the meaning of supernatural powers?"

"Not yet." Chuming Masumi sneered, the game organizer's move was indeed sinister, but as a world book, how could she be so easy to bully? "Although the first order was changed by them, I quickly strengthened the channel and sent the second order. If they forcibly merge the realities of the two worlds, then Bai Saki will share my identity with me, and the game organizer will There is no way to force Shirasaki back, so they will definitely try their best to prevent the two worlds from merging."

...But as long as they wait until Shirasaki disappears, then even if the world merges and twins become a reality, Shirasaki will no longer be able to exist in this world.

The original power of the world book can't last too long, they must find a new power to allow Shirasaki to exist.

Dazai Osamu closed his eyes and pondered, suddenly startled: "—Oda Saku and everyone in the detective agency are in danger!"

Shirasaki was able to survive in the world through the memory of everyone in the detective agency and Oda Sakunosuke before, and now he can too!And the Devil Fyodor and the game team couldn't have thought of this, that is to say, they would definitely cut off Shirasaki's way of survival by killing the detective agency and Odasaku!

Hatsuna Masumi supported the wall and stood up: "I can temporarily influence their thinking to prevent them from attacking Oda Sakunosuke, but the detective agency is their main target, and I have no way to prevent them from attacking the detective agency."

"So you stay here well." Hatsina Masumi climbed up the window, "Protect her well, and the detective socializes with me."

Listening to the sound of water coming from the phone, Kunikida felt blue veins in his head: "That bastard Dazai! He didn't jump off the phone right after he got on the phone?!"

Yosano Akiko nodded her chin, and thought deeply: "It's strange, although Dazai is usually foolish, but he has always been able to distinguish the seriousness of such important matters."

Miyazaki Kenji: "Could it be caught by the enemy?"

Atsushi Nakajima: "Huh?! Isn't that pretty bad!?"

Edogawa Ranpo: "..."

He stared at the pack of snacks in his arms, thoughtfully: "Apart from Dazai, is everyone in the detective agency here?"

"Huh?" Kunikida asked blankly, "Ah, the clerk took refuge elsewhere, what's the matter?"

"No, no, there is another person in the detective agency." After walking wildly, Edogawa leaned on the chair in the Wanxiang Hall, with his feet up, with a solemn expression, "He is someone who knows everyone."

Yu Xieye was stunned: "Since Luanpo said so...but why do you think so?"

She carefully counted the members of the detective agency in her memory, but found nothing unusual.

Edogawa Ranbu ordered the bag full of snacks in his hand: "The snacks inside are all tastes that the famous detective has never tasted before."

But for Ranpo Edogawa, who loves crude snacks, he will never fill a bag with uneaten snacks when he buys snacks. He will indeed try new flavors, but the old flavors also make him unable to give up. If at the same time Faced with two choices, Master Ranbu wants all of them!

He wouldn't buy it himself, which means that the whole package of snacks came from another person, perhaps as a "gift".Kunikida and Yosano knew his taste, and they would not buy him a whole pack of snacks that Ranpo hadn't eaten before. The rest of the detective agency would only follow his orders to buy snacks, and would not buy anything other than what he had listed. Something... So, there is still a person in the detective agency that he doesn't remember.

"Is what you said true, Ranpo?" Fukuzawa Yukichi's expression suddenly became serious.

"Of course, someone might have influenced the members of the detective agency——Kunikida through some kind of supernatural power?"

Kunikida put down the phone: "Is it really impossible to get through... When Dazai picked up the phone just now, he said 'do you still remember', if it is true what Mr. Ranpo said, then Dazai should not be affected by this ability .”

Miyazaki Kenji raised his hand: "Then we just have to wait for Dazai to join us?"

"No." Yoshino bent down to pick up the chainsaw, with a solemn expression, "I'm afraid...we have to deal with these people before Osamu Dazai arrives."

Under surveillance, the group boss Francis smiled at them.

And behind him, all the members of the group stood.
