Takei Ayanokoji's Tool Man Guide

To be honest, although there will always be a time to introduce myself, so far, I don't know how to introduce myself.

I am still a college student in my current job status. Apart from the relevant study and life in school, most of the time I rely on part-time jobs to maintain my own life.Since I started high school, I've worked countless jobs in my spare time—delivery boy, paper delivery guy, postman, and more.

In fact, two years ago, I thought about working in Buteisha.It's just that when I went to the Butei Club on the fourth floor, I met a person.

Two years later, what happened that day is still vivid in my mind.

In that cramped elevator, after I pressed the elevator button on the fourth floor, the elevator door was also tightly closed.However, just when there was only a finger gap left in the elevator door, a white hand with slender phalanges pressed against the door.The automatic door of the elevator was sensed, and then retreated to both sides again.

So, I met the owner of that hand.

Just the moment I met him, I could feel my heart shrink tightly as if being thrown into ice water.

"I'm sorry, I'm also catching this elevator."

He was wearing a khaki trench coat, sucking the outside wind into the elevator.After entering the elevator, he quickly glanced at the elevator buttons, and looked at me very quickly with his smiling kite pupils.

"The one who sent the documents to the Butei Club, or the one who interviewed?"

Hearing him say that, I stuffed my papers up my back.

After noticing my small gesture of hiding the documents, he raised a smile on the corner of his mouth and said to me: "It seems more like an interview, I am Osamu Dazai. If you succeed, we may be colleagues, please give me your advice then."

As he spoke, he leaned comfortably against the elevator wall, less than half a person away from me.Invisibly, it brought me tremendous pressure.So, after reaching the fourth floor, when the elevator door opened, this confident and refreshing young man left before me. My feet got stuck in the elevator and I would not want to go out for a while.

One thing to understand is that if you know that your future colleagues will be like the one in front of you—you can guess the reason for coming in less than ten seconds after entering the elevator, you may also put your "aggressiveness" in your mind. Back to the original place.

However, I went to the Butei Club for an interview.In a small cubicle, the clerk kindly asked me why I came to the Butei Club for an interview, and asked me if I had supernatural powers.

Here is a brief introduction to the existence of Buteisha—it is the leading armed detective agency in Yokohama. Except for the clerks, basically all members have rare abilities. It is one of the few work units in Yokohama that has a license for operating abilities.

According to my understanding, if you want to enter the Butei Club, you must either have a back door or have outstanding abilities.

Although I once laid the foundation for entering the Butei Club, after meeting Osamu Dazai, I felt that I had to reorganize my planning process-now is not a good time to enter the Butei Club.

Aristotle once said, "Life is always full of opportunities and changes. When people are most proud, there is the greatest misfortune."If you think everything is going smoothly and carelessly deal with it, you will only get yourself into bigger troubles.Smart people will stumble at their own door, let alone ordinary people.

After the Buteisha interview failed, I focused my attention and energy on other things.This meeting with Ranpo Edogawa was the first official conversation in two years.

……

Going back to the question of Edogawa Ranpo, he asked me, if it wasn't for joining Buteisha, what would I be doing here?

I put down my coffee and said calmly and slowly, "Sir, I have come here to seek your protection."

As soon as I said this, Tanizaki Junichiro, who introduced me to work, opened his eyes wide in surprise: "What? What happened?"

Edogawa ranpo narrowed his eyes, and said casually: "Hey——if you need protection, why didn't you come to us earlier and take the initiative to come to us? Instead, you only came to mention it when Tanizaki came to introduce your work? You are talking nonsense ?"

Normally, my rhetoric is indeed full of mistakes and omissions, and cannot withstand scrutiny.

If someone really needs protection, he will not wait until someone finds someone to help him, he will seek help immediately.

"When Tanizaki-kun introduced me to work, I had already gone to other detective agencies for help. But they thought I was just persecution paranoia and didn't believe me." As I spoke, I organized the words in my head and said, "And your Butei Club's asking price is too expensive, which I can't afford. Naturally, I don't want to find you. But now that Tanizaki-kun came to introduce me to work, I think this is an opportunity."

Under the gaze of the two people, I said flatly, "Sir, someone is going to kill me."

As soon as the voice fell, the entire cafe fell into a deathly silence, even the sunlight would make a slight breathing sound, it was so quiet that it was uncomfortably quiet.And in this uncomfortable atmosphere, the copper bell at the store door was rang again.A young man in a khaki windbreaker strode over to our table and greeted Ranpo Edogawa and Junichiro Tanizaki.

"Mr. Ranpo, are you here too?" Osamu Dazai smiled with crooked eyebrows, "Besides, it's so strange that he didn't order any cake!"

When Edogawa Ranpo heard Dazai's words, he looked at his clean table subconsciously, pursed his lips, then propped himself up on the table, stood up and said, "I'm going back."

"..."

So what is this guy doing here?

I couldn't help but wonder.

"Don't you want something to eat?" Tanizaki Junichiro seemed to notice something wrong with Edogawa Ranpo, thought he was unhappy, and quickly said, "Sorry, Mr. Ranpo, I should have given you something earlier."

"No more." Edogawa ran the store door open, and made a face in the direction of Tanizaki Junichiro.

I looked in the direction of Tanizaki and said, "It seems that he is really angry and making faces at you."

Tanizaki said in a panic: "Really?! It's terrible! I have to buy something for Mr. Ranpo to remedy it?!"

Dazai wasn't in a hurry, he felt like he had some leeway because the fire couldn't burn him. With his hands in his pockets, he sat across from Tanizaki and me, and said, "What are you talking about?"

"..."

I didn't think that my interviewer would be Osamu Dazai, so I subconsciously looked at Junichiro Tanizaki, hoping he could give me some introduction.

Tanizaki was in depression, and Mr. Ranpo was angry with him, but he still had to deal with my affairs, so he cheered up and said, "This is Mr. Osamu Dazai. He joined the Butei Club two years ago. It is mine. Senior, Kunikida-san, Dazai-san's partner was supposed to come for the interview, but Kunikida-san was too busy and asked Dazai-san to come over."

I kept silent to show that I understood.

"I heard that you know a little bit of black technology." Dazai said while ordering coffee with ease, "I heard that you were the one who provided the clues for the military and police to search for the "man-eating tiger". "

This is a long story, so I won't say it.

I will talk about the results.

After I successfully provided the location where the man-eating tiger would appear, Tanizaki Junichiro said that he would introduce me to the Buteisha.Their society needs talents like me.When I contacted and met last night, Tanizaki gave me a very confident statement, as if he said that as long as we meet today, the Butei Club will accept me into the club.

But, I don't think it should be that easy.

If any cat or dog can enter the Butei Club with simple black technology, I think it's better not to join the Butei Club.

I corrected it solemnly: "To be precise, it was Mr. Tanizaki who asked me if I could find any clues."

The conversation between me and Osamu Dazai was just an official cutscene.

There is no need to repeat the redundant words.

I now need a "bodyguard" is the point.

That's why I finished speaking, Tanizaki couldn't help but cut into the conversation and said, "That's not the point, the point is "Ayanokōji-kun is being targeted."Mr. Dazai, can you think of a way? "

"Huh? What's the situation?" Osamu Dazai set his sights on Tanizaki.

Tanizaki repeated what I said to Edogawa just now.

"It sounds so troublesome——" Osamu Dazai leaned back in his chair and chose to abstain, "I just came here for an interview, and I didn't say I would accept a work order. Tanizaki, you handle it."

The corner of Tanizaki's mouth twitched: "..."

However, he also knew Dazai Osamu's personality.It seems strange that Osamu Dazai would seriously enter the working mode to deal with the problem.Tanizaki Junichiro almost just sighed and resigned himself to his fate.Then, he took out his notes and pen, and said, "Mr. Lingkoulu, how did you find out that someone had murderous intentions for you? When did it start? What's wrong with you recently?"

"I have no comment on this point, I just need someone to protect me." I said to Tanizaki, "It will probably take at least three weeks."

"..."

Junichiro Tanizaki was obviously caught off guard by my answer, and looked back at Osamu Dazai.

Osamu Dazai shrugged and said, "I'm not sure. I haven't seen an example where the interviewer is still the client. This is obviously an act of jumping in the line, right? We have the right to pick it up or not to pick it up. Besides, "Did he lie? ", which is also a problem.right? "

After he finished speaking, he gave me a friendly smile, as if the attack in his words was not aimed at me.

Dazai neither said he believed me nor said he didn't believe me, he just threw the question at me.

"And, most importantly—"

Osamu Dazai approached my direction, his pupils reflected my expressionless face.

"Why do you have to wait two years to join our armed detective agency? I'm super curious about this question."

Osamu Dazai's voice is light and cheerful, but it hits the nail on the head, and every word hits the nail on the head.

"I've seen you, Ayanokouji-san.

In the elevator two years ago, you took the initiative to come for an interview.

After you met me, you deliberately hid your strengths and showed your clumsiness, keeping a low profile.

So what are you waiting for? "

Compared to him asking "Meet me at Buteisha two years ago", I am more surprised that he can remember Ayanokōji who has not had any intersection in the two years.

After all, from what I understand, I have nothing to be noticed.

I'm just an ordinary person.
