[Bungo Stray Dogs] Yokohama Renka

Although I am still angry with Luanbu in my heart, I still have to complete the normal work seriously.

Even though it was a tricky serial murder case, there was super reasoning that could see through all the truth, and we solved the case within an hour after we arrived at the scene.

Originally, I wanted to go back directly, but the wayward Mr. Detective told me that he would stay here for a while, depending on when he had enough of the local limited snacks.According to Ranpo, before he came here, he had taken a fancy to a spring special brown sugar bran snack, and decided to collect the colored paper that came with the snack.

Can I resist the willful Detective-sama?

It’s okay for him to eat the pile of bran snacks by himself, and he dragged me to consume them together. Thanks to Luanbu, I may not eat dim sum with brown sugar as the raw material this year.

"Hello, Dazai-sama?"

I called Dazai at the gate of the candy shop. It was very sunny outside, and my forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat from the sun.

"Xiaoyou, it's too much to go on a business trip or something the day after I got my house key!"

"I didn't do it voluntarily either!...There is a little delay here, please take care of Zhijun during this time. I will be able to go back with Mr. Ranpo in a few days, and I will bring you The dim sum here is a gift."

"Then have you missed me during this time?"

His voice on the other end of the phone was soft, but his words were not very pleasant.

"I miss my lovely Youchan these days, and I'm not even in the mood to try the newly discovered suicide method. This is a very wonderful way to die. It's no exaggeration to say that it's a dreamy way to die. In the airtight Burning charcoal indoors, it is said that you will sleep deeply, and you will not feel any pain on the way to bliss, and your remains will be rosy and peaceful, and will not cause trouble to the staff who clean up the funeral, don’t you think this is great?”

"Wonderful! Wouldn't it be better if I didn't commit suicide? Forget it, I get a headache when I hear you say this. Also, I really want to see Dazai-sama, so I will go back as soon as possible. That's it, The phone bill is very expensive, so I hung up first, and we can talk another day."

After I hung up the phone, I felt my head was burning hot, so I bought a white peach soda popsicle to cool down my mind.Walking past a group of elementary school students on vacation, they also took a popsicle from the refrigerator.He stood by my side and ate quietly for a rare occasion.

Ah, speaking of which, if we go to the president's house in summer, we will eat popsicles or watermelon together on the porch like this.Thinking about it this way, I have known Ranpo for more than four years.Compared with when we first met, he has hardly changed, and he still has the immature face that can be believed even if he is 16 years old.

"...Mr. Ranpo, can I ask you something?" Taking advantage of the atmosphere returning to harmony, I tentatively asked the baby face next to me.

"No, no, no." Luanbu said bluntly, he raised the popsicle stick and said triumphantly to the boss: "I won the lottery, uncle, give me another one."

I clicked my "Thank you for your patronage" and tossed it in a nearby trash can without saying what the problem was.

It's just that I am a little concerned about why Ranpo always intentionally or unintentionally blocks the development of my relationship with Dazai.

Luanbu took a new one, I looked at him happily eating, and reminded: "If the president knows that Mr. Luanbu ate two more in one go, he will definitely scold you again."

"The president won't say anything about such a trivial matter. But you, who are still underage, ran to the house of the man you like just after graduating from high school... It would be very bad if the president knew about it?"

I shuddered and said cautiously: "Mr. Ranpo, please don't tell the president, I really can't keep Dazai from him."

The famous detective swept me up and down with his enigmatic eyes, and said with disgust: "Akagi, your vision is too bad. What's so good about an idiot like Dazai, the next thing I want to do with him is There will be danger and misfortune. His personality is also troublesome, what do you think?"

I was so angry at what he said, I folded my arms and gritted my teeth: "Dazai is not an idiot, and his personality is not particularly troublesome. Don't look at his incomprehensible appearance, he is actually a person who is too gentle , It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a good boy like a god. Mr. Ranpo's ability is so remarkable, you must be aware of it."

"The way I see it, you're simply being overwhelmed by emotion. I mean, don't you think your relationship is developing at an unusually fast pace?"

Ranpo took a bite of the popsicle and said to me in a calm and serious tone.

"Dazai still has concerns about liking you, so he will rush to promote the development after dating. If he is not sure whether he will survive for you, maybe you may still accept it on the day you graduate. It's his marriage proposal."

"Akagi, if Dazai is getting close to you, what he thinks in his heart is to test whether you can become the spider thread that holds him and the world, can you bear such impure motives? Even if you can bear it, the current Dazai will not Giving up suicide for you, one day he really ended his life, this ending is not impossible, isn't it?"

"...It's not like the usual Mr. Ranpo at all."

I hung my head, trying to organize words in my mind that would convince Ranpo.

"Whose fault do you think? If you were a little wiser, I wouldn't have to say these things."

Luanbu leaned against the refrigerator, I knew he was waiting for me to give him an acceptable reply.

"I've always felt that Dazai and Ranpo-san are similar in some ways. You are both smart and have a unique style of behavior. Maybe in the current detective agency, you can have something to talk to with Ranpo-san There's only one idiot out there. So I thought Mr. Ranpo might understand—"

"I don't want to and can't be the one who redeems Dazai. All I can do is spend the meaningless time with him, and give him some comfort before he really finds a reason to live. I like him, and dating him is also a good thing. It can only be said to be an accident in the process... My original purpose was unexpectedly simple."

Yep, that's what I was thinking four years ago, on a rooftop somewhere, after beating up some stupid brat.

"Dazai wants to prove something on me, let him do it. I'm greedy. I want to do more than hold on to his kite string temporarily, I want to give that idiot the courage to accept happiness."

How could I not have noticed my lover's uneasiness, Dazai has indeed overreacted to my affairs.But just paying attention to me is not enough, besides me, there are many people who pay attention to him in different forms.

"Besides me, there are other people who care about him, but Dazai always avoids those kindnesses. I think he has always hated some characteristics in people including himself. Even so, he still embraces in the pursuit of death." Then there will be a person who can embody the meaning of life.”

"But such a person will never appear. The only person who can prove to him that life is better than death is Dazai himself. I am waiting for him to discover this. If he can wait until that day, maybe he can get the happiness of ordinary people Yes. Well... liking Dazai Osamu is also part of the reason for being with him."

For a long while, Luanbu didn't respond at all.I turned my head and stared at him strangely.

"That, Mr. Ranpo, I'm done, are you listening?"

"To be honest, I really don't want to deal with a troublesome guy like Dazai. But you got involved with him early on. It's really a headache." Luanbu took the last bite of the popsicle.

"Is it bothering Mr. Ranpo?"

"Ah, it's very troublesome. You said that Dazai deliberately ignored the concerns around you. In my opinion, the two of you are equal in this. Hey, you just said that Dazai is the only companion who can accompany you through difficulties. Yes, don't you think it's a little too much?"

Luanbu crossed his hips, with an unbearable expression on his face.

"I don't care about it, do you think the president, Dr. Yosano, Kunikida-kun and Hanabou-kun will leave you alone. Your boss Ishiguro-kun is also very concerned about you, don't you remember all of this?"

"You're also very good at ignoring the kindness of those around you, little sister."

He shook the clean popsicle stick in his hand at me, no accident, it was "Congratulations on winning the prize".

"I've gone back, and I'm tired of the food here. And Dazai's slumped look is rare even for me. Let's go, Akagi, the train hasn't left yet."

"Going back now can still be in time to see your favorite Dazai after being violently beaten by the president."

The author has something to say:
