Chief Okita in Taisho

"How long has it been since I was last here?"

"I always feel that... the street seems to have changed."

The supernatural world.

Okita Souji was walking down the street with Saizo in his arms, looking around.

"Hmm... I'm asking about world awareness."

"It's been three years!"

Saizo replied enthusiastically, seeing the deep meaning in Okita Souji's smile, the whole pig withered, "No way, Souji, you have been in Taisho for too long, three years here is already within the scope of my best control it's..."

"Okay~"

Director Okita didn't pursue it, "Let's go to the dessert shop to see if Akiko is here~"

By the way, have a full meal!

There are more desserts in this world than in Taisho, and the taste is better.

The dessert shop is still in a familiar location at the entrance of the alley. When the small wooden door is pushed open, the crisp wind chimes sound.

"Excuse me—"

Okita Souji walked in, stood in front of the glass cabinet and looked around, "Hey, is there no one here?"

"Ah, why is someone here again, can't Master Ranpo rest for a while..."

Behind the glass cabinet, the boy took down the newspaper covering his face, and dragged his tone weakly.

"welcome……"

Hey, isn't Akiko here?

The boy straightened up, and the moment his eyes met, his squinted eyes suddenly opened.

The boy's whole body is like a cat that hasn't slept well, his pupils are like green emeralds with excellent workmanship, when he opens them, there is some intelligent and penetrating light flashing across them.

Okita Souji had also seen this light in Dazai Osamu's eyes, but it was obviously different.

Osamu Dazai's light is deep and complex, but the boy in front of him has a kind of innocence that doesn't know the world.

"You're... kind of interesting."

While Okita Souji was thinking, the boy stepped on the stool, leaned over from the glass cabinet, and approached Okita Souji in front of him, the tips of his noses almost touching.

"A walking undead?"

"Actually, the past is a foregone conclusion. You should free yourself from the shackles of the past...It's not a bad idea to pay more attention to the people around you."

"..."

Okita Souji's eyes only flickered for a moment, so fast that the boy almost thought he was wrong.

Okita Souji once again raised a perfect smile.

He stepped back a little distance, raised his hand, and flicked the young man's forehead.

"Just say some weird things, are you a fortune teller?"

"I'm here to buy dessert."

"pain……"

The young man covered his forehead and muttered, "What, you actually deliberately avoided the topic."

He glanced at Souji Okita, who was carefully selecting, and spread his hands, "I advise you not to buy desserts here today, there won't be anything you like."

"Looking at your appearance, you should be very knowledgeable about desserts, and you have a tricky mouth."

"The cream in this store used to be very good, but there was an accident today, and it was mixed with low-quality cream. You can eat it as soon as you eat it."

The young man spoke clearly and logically.

"You won't be satisfied, so don't buy it."

"……Eh?"

Okita Souji didn't know what to say for a while.

Is this really the attitude a qualified shop assistant should have?

Although Akiko's attitude was not very good in the past, she would still recommend products to customers.

The boy named Ranpo was still chattering.

"Do you know why this error occurred—"

"Because, my wife found out about the store manager looking for a lover. My wife has come to the store. Although the store manager doesn't admit it, Mr. Ranpo can't see it."

The boy sighed.

"Oh, my lord..."

The passing clerk covered his mouth and snickered.

"So it is."

Okita Souji echoed him and nodded, "Then I'll buy the one without cream."

"Hey?"

The boy became excited, "No, no, no——"

Next, no matter which dessert Souji Okita pointed out, the boy could find a reason to refute.

"This one?"

"Master Ranpo clearly said not to mix bitter coffee, but he still insists on mixing it in, so you are not allowed to buy it! Let the low sales prove that Master Ranpo is right!"

"that?"

"There's wine in it. I really don't understand why such a bad thing should be poured in."

"this?"

"The store manager made this after a quarrel with his wife. I don't know if it's because he was in a bad mood, so the food was so unpalatable."

Suddenly, the dragon roared.

"Random!!!"

"what."

The boy didn't look guilty at all, he turned his head and said, "The store manager."

The store manager wearing an apron was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, obviously hearing what Luanbu said.The store manager, who didn't know how to refute for a while, had sharp eyes enough to touch the debris at the corner of Ranbu's mouth.

"Why are you stealing snacks again?!"

"what?"

The young man wiped the corners of his mouth, and said confidently, "The matter of dessert control, can it be called stealing... Besides, how will you know if it's delicious if you don't try it."

"Random!"

The store manager was so angry that he couldn't speak. This happened not once or twice. He finally issued an expulsion order, "I'm sorry, I can't take you in anymore!"

"Please pack your things and leave, I will pay you this month's wages."

The boy was not too surprised, showing a look of "I can't do anything about you".

"Okay, I see."

He pushed open the door of the staff room to pack up the package and went.

Okita Souji sat down by the window of the shop.The store manager came over and nodded and bowed his head to apologize: "The clerk is not sensible, I made you laugh."

"Nothing."

Okita Shoji smiled.

"How long has it been since you came, almost three years?"

The store manager still has an impression of Okita Souji, and the other person's appearance and temperament are hard to forget.

Director Okita nodded, "The past few years have been relatively busy."

"Where's Akiko?" he asked.

"Akiko doesn't work in the store for a long time, she joined the army," the owner thought for a while, "It's been almost three years?"

"..."

Okita Souji looked slightly condensed.

"Was it taken away by a young man in his 20s?"

The owner nodded.

"He said he was the head of the health department, so it seems his name is... Mori Ogai?"

Or was it taken away...

Okita Souji was silent for a moment.

That man is indeed the type who doesn't give up until he reaches his goal.

He motioned to the staff room: "What's the situation with that little clerk?"

"He, he came here when he was recruiting, and his name is Edogawa Ranpo," said the shop owner. "He said that his parents passed away, and he had no relatives or friends to rely on, so he accepted it because he looked pitiful."

Who is this little bastard who didn't treat the guests well, and even revealed all his affairs!

Who dares to stay? !

"I see."

Okita Souji smiled.

The shopkeeper sighed.

It's the best of humanity to stay in disorder for so long, and he also needs to make money.

After Mr. Okita finished ordering desserts, the store manager went backstage.

"Then, if it's okay, I'll go get busy first."

"Wait a minute."

Okita Souji looked out of the glass window, there was a lot of traffic and people coming and going.

Da, da, the boy's footsteps approached.

"You can see me through the reflection of the window, let's say hello anyway!" A dissatisfied voice sounded.

Okita Souji turned around——

Edogawa walked around with a small burden on his back, pulled the stool opposite and sat down on his own, folded his arms and stared at him, his cheeks puffed up with anger.

He saw Souji Okita ordering just now.

"Too bad, you don't listen to Ranpo-sama's advice!"

"It's a pity that I told you kindly."

"The store manager is also, these things are obviously wrong for him," Edogawa Ranpo's childish words showed a daze, "Why do you have to make it so complicated, I really don't understand the world of adults..."

He looked at Souji Okita.

"You already know my name—"

"In exchange, tell Ranpo-sama your name."

"Seta Soujiro." Okita Souji replied.

Edogawa Ranpo was slightly taken aback.

"...Forget it, let's assume your name is this."

"Mr. Seta, I was fired because of you, so you have to take responsibility!"

Okita Souji: "...Huh?"

Aren't you fired for stabbing yourself?

At this time, the clerk brought out the dessert ordered by Souji Okita.

"what?"

Edogawa Ranpo stared wide-eyed, "Why are they all red bean mochi?"

As if thinking of something, he looked at Souji Okita with a questioning look, full of joy and expectation.

"You almost complained about all the dim sum, but you didn't mention mochi."

Okita Souji noticed this carefully.

"This is what I asked you to do."

Edogawa Ranpo's eyes lit up.

"It's almost..."

He muttered, with a smile on his face, "Then I'll start—"

***

While Okita Souji was looking for Akiko Yosano in the supernatural world, the Taisho era——

In the Jingxin Mountain Swordsmanship Dojo, the swordsmanship training is in full swing.

California Kiyomitsu: "Kanae's movements are very standard...you will be suitable for Seta-kun's breathing method."

He looked at the little girl next to Kanae: "So does Shinobu."

Butterfly Chana Hui smiled sweetly: "Thank you for the compliment."

"My sister and I are medical students. It's natural to know about human body construction," Butterfly said, "Teach us the next one."

"Ninja-chan, don't be so serious."

"But sister—"

"Smile more, Shinobi, my sister likes Shinobi's smile," Butterfly Kanae said with a smile, "And you see, Mr. Seta is so strong, doesn't he always smile."

Butterfly couldn't help her.

"Whatever you want, sister..."

On the other side, the brothers Shitou and Ihei Xiaobanei are fighting.

At the entrance of the dojo, Osamu Dazai stared blankly for a moment, then turned around, and a magnified face that was [-] to [-]% similar to Seta Soujiro appeared in front of him: "!"

"what happened to you?"

Yamato Morita was curious, "Do you also want to learn swordsmanship? I can teach you."

"It's nothing."

Dazai turned around and left.

"But you seem to be in a bad mood..."

Yamato Shou Anding followed behind him.

"Are you thinking of Seta-kun?"

Osamu Dazai slipped.

He suddenly thought of something, turned around and approached Yamato Shou'an, his kite-colored pupils were full of deep meaning.

"You said before that you fell in love with Seta-kun at first sight... What do you like about him?"

"……Eh?"

Yamato Morita blinked and said seriously, "I like everything about Seta-kun!"

Osamu Dazai didn't speak, turned around and continued walking.

"However, Seta-kun will not give you a response."

"?"

Yamato Mamoru Anding followed behind him in bewilderment.

"Okita-kun... isn't it," Dazai Osamu said, "What kind of person do you think Seta-kun is?"

Yamato Shou, Lipai Okita Chef, An Ding excitedly said: "Gentle, cheerful, strong, able to understand others, and take care of others' feelings..."

Okita-kun's advantages can't be exhausted in three days and three nights!

"Understand others, take care of others..."

Osamu Dazai murmured and smiled.

"You are indeed right."

"But you're still a little short." Osamu Dazai turned around and faced Yamato Morita.

"what?"

"--cold."

Yamato Mamoru Anding was stunned, it was the first time he heard someone comment on Okita-kun like that.

Ah, sure enough.

This guy didn't see it either.

Osamu Dazai sighed in his heart, and began to speak plainly: "Seda-kun took in Iguro and Butterfly, in your opinion, it is an expression of gentleness, right? But has Seta-kun expressed his wishes?"

Yamato Mamoru opened his mouth, but did not make a sound.

"He didn't express it."

Osamu Dazai continued: "'I want to learn swordsmanship and join the Demon Slayer Squad'. These are all Iguro and Butterfly's own ideas. Seta-kun has not made any suggestions, nor has he made any interference."

It also includes... the return to the Ghost Slayer Squad.

Dazai lowered his eyes slightly.

In fact, Seta-kun can return to the team, the one who made the mistake is himself, not Seta-kun.

"He's trying to minimize his connection to other people and try to keep his influence on others to a minimum."

It is a gentle but silent cruelty.

"What is this for? What kind of future is he planning?"

Osamu Dazai didn't know.

All he knew was that this was a lonely and determined future, and that it didn't include them.

Seeing Yamato Moran's speechless expression, Osamu Dazai said, "Forget it."

He hadn't expected them to understand from the start.

……

Osamu Dazai walked to the room where the black balls were placed.

If you are in a bad mood, of course you have to rely on tossing the black ball to relieve boredom.

Who told him that this thing was so long that he was not happy to look at it!Almost at the same time that Osamu Dazai entered the room, the black ball began to vibrate, expressing his resistance as much as possible.

Dazai laughed.

"What are you afraid of?"

"Come out if you have the ability."

Black Ball: Who is afraid of you, I just hate you, bastard!

As Osamu Dazai spoke, his hands kept on pulling up the sheet underneath to wrap up the black ball, and dragged it outside.

He looked around the house.

Very good, Qingguang and the others are still in the dojo, so they didn't find it.

Osamu Dazai brought the black ball to the front yard.

A large pot was placed in the open space, the fire was burning, and the water in the pot was boiling.

"Go."

Osamu Dazai threw the black ball into the pot.

He rubbed his hands, squatted down beside the pot, and fanned the wind to increase the fire.

What will be cooked?

Two seconds later—

boom!

With a loud noise, the cauldron exploded!

The author has something to say: Chuya: I will kill Dazai!

The update is late Dogeza.

Social animals are too difficult, and it is easy to be delayed by things.
