Chief Okita in Taisho

"How long are you going to follow me?"

In the supernatural world, on the busy street, Okita Souji turned around and looked helplessly at Edogawa Ranpo who was following behind him.

"You already know about me from the store manager," Edogawa Ranbu said, "do you have anything to say, or do you want to do for me?"

He stared intently at Souji Okita.

"Although I wanted to help you...but unfortunately I don't have anyone I know well."

— as far as the world is concerned.

Okita Souji thought for a while, "Why don't I accompany you to find a job after I finish my work? Before that, you should find a shop to stay."

"What?" Edogawa Ranpo showed a disappointed expression, "That's it?"

"what?"

"that's it?"

Luanbu said: "Setian-kun, you should be a very considerate and helpful type, shouldn't you change that at this time? In terms of physicality, facing the loss of parents, no job and nowhere to go, desperate 14 You are a young man, there should be some kind of feeling in your heart, right?"*

Okita Souji looked at the boy's face, and a table of red bean mochi that was eaten by the other party appeared in front of his eyes.

Moreover, Ranpo only ate red bean paste instead of white mochi, so he felt tired and flustered just looking at it.

"There is a certain feeling... It's rare to find a guy with a sweeter taste than me. It's really rare."

"Hey, it's nothing."

Edogawa Ranpo shook his head quite proudly, and suddenly realized, "No—it's 'helping each other'! The feeling I'm talking about is the feeling of not being able to ignore people in need and wanting to lend a helping hand." *

This kid is so funny.

Okita Souji thought to himself, and casually said as he walked forward: "Then what can you do for me?"

"Master Ranpo can help a lot!"

"For example, the person you want to find, Mr. Ranpo can help you find a way."

Okita Souji paused.

"I got it right!"

Edogawa chattered happily, like a rambunctious little bird.

Although they are about the same age, they are completely different types from Dazai.Okita Souji couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Ranpo is more youthful, and Dazai...is not active when he is, except when playing black ball. Is he a cat?

By the way, since I'm not here, Dazai won't play tricks on Black Ball... Can Qingguang and An Ding watch him?

Probably... can't.

"Who are you thinking about?"

Edogawa Ranpo's voice brought Okita Souji back to his thoughts.The young man had chased after him at some point, and his green pupils were wide open.

"Master Ranpo is talking to you, yet you are thinking about someone else."

Okita Souji smiled without saying a word.

"Is that person important?" Edogawa Luanbu insisted, "Well, it is more important, right, and the meaning seems to be more special?"

Okita Souji did not deny it.

"How should I say it," he said with a smile, "it's a worrying child."

"Is that guy..."

Edogawa mumbled in disorder, as if he had figured out something, but he didn't go any further, his green pupils locked tightly before hiding.

"Also, Ranpo-sama has something else to help you—"

"Hold that pig for you!"

In fact, you just want to hug yourself.

Okita Souji groaned, and put the piglet in Edogawa Ranpo's arms, "Hold it well."

After getting the piglet, Edogawa Ranpo was satisfied, and the feeling of burrs in his whole body was much less.

"So, you said you want to help me, how can you help?" Okita Souji asked.

Edogawa Ranpo was slightly taken aback.

"You really believe what I say?"

"Why not," Souji Okita shrugged, "You're very smart."

"..."

Edogawa Ranpo was silent for a while, which was rare.

"It's ridiculous to judge a person based on their age alone. In the world of Kendo, there are people who have obtained the exemption from the general pass when they are more than ten years old, and become the head of the dojo when they are less than 20 years old."

Okita Souji once again affirmed that the history of this world is different—"You are talking about Okita Souji." People who know their history would say this, but the boy didn't say that, obviously he didn't know.

I don't know if he overcame some psychological barrier, but when he spoke again, Edogawa Ranpo's voice was much louder than before, as if he was complaining or acting like a baby.

"Because, I have encountered a lot of situations where adults are overwhelmed by very simple things, and they intervene. Not only do adults not believe me, but they also express their disgust by treating me as a troublesome person, and things will become very complicated in the middle of the matter. Trouble, it's really... inexplicable!"

At the end, he added: "Since you trust Lord Ranpo, then Lord Ranpo will do his best to help you!"

"It's here, it's here." Edogawa Ranpo said suddenly.

Okita Souji turned his head to look.

This is... the police academy?

The police academy, which is usually closed, is open to the public today, and the gate of the school is full of people coming and going, which is very lively.

There seems to be some kind of event going on.

"Let's go, let's go in, we won't be able to catch up in a while."

Edogawa wandered around behind Souji Okita and pushed people in.

"What are you going in for?"

Edogawa Ranpo was about to answer when an angry voice sounded from the crowd.

"Ranbu, you dare to come back?!"

"It's my dormitory."

Edogawa ran and hid behind Okita Souji, whispering.

"What are you doing here?!"

The dormitory manager came over and dragged Luanbu out.

"Why are you so loud, uncle," Edogawa Ranbu dissatisfied, "Don't worry, I didn't come to look for you, I just brought this brother to participate in the competition."

The housekeeper looked suspiciously at Ranpo and Mr. Okita, and finally said nothing, only leaving a sentence to Mr. Okita: "Be careful, this little brat is really smart."

"Slightly~"

Edogawa stuck out his tongue at the back of the dormitory officer.

In the crowd, Director Okita suddenly saw a figure that caught his attention.

The hair color is reddish, judging from the action and the gun callus on the hand...maybe it's a killer?

The other party felt Okita Souji's gaze extremely keenly, and looked back blankly, his tea-brown eyes were astonishingly empty, showing no emotion at all.

Sure enough, it was a killer.

What are you doing at the police academy?

"What are you looking at?"

Okita Souji lowered his head, and Edogawa Ranpo was looking at her curiously.

Looking over again, the killer boy had disappeared.

"What is the competition, and what's going on with you and that housekeeper?"

Director Okita asked Ranpo.

Edogawa scratched his head in random steps, and said a little irritably, "Actually, I was studying here half a year ago, but I was kicked out."

"The regulations here are really annoying! You are not allowed to leave the dormitory after the specified time, and you must be restrained in buying food outside. There are also requirements for clothing. In addition, the content of the class is boring, and interpersonal relationships are also very troublesome. I argued with the dormitory supervisor, All his past love history was revealed, and he was kicked out."*

Okita Souji: "..."

"As for the competition, today the police academy will hold a kendo competition! Not only the students in the school, but people in the society can also participate."

Okita Souji's expression darkened slightly.

"You guessed it, right? The purpose of holding this kind of event suddenly," Edogawa Ranbu said, "There should be high-level military and police officers secretly observing... Only in this way can you get access to the information you want."

It has been three years since the defeat of Ever Darkness Island, and all the surviving soldiers have returned, only Yosano Akiko has not returned yet.

No one knows what happened, where she went.

I am afraid that only senior military officials know.

"You have to thank Mr. Ranpo! Only Mr. Ranpo knows about the police academy!"

Edogawa said in disorder, feeling a hand on top of his head, rubbing it gently.

"I see. Thank you, Ranpo-sama."

"..."

Edogawa blinked in disorder, then blinked again.

"Are you so gentle with everyone?"

"Huh?" Director Okita smiled, "Of course not."

It is impossible to be gentle with the enemy.

Also, the instruction on swordsmanship is probably very strict, so no one dared to look for him except Xiao Tie.

"I'll be entangled..."

Edogawa ran in a low voice.

Especially the kind of timid guy who yearns for warmth.

Gentleness is a double-edged sword for them.The more gentle they are, the more timid and fleeing they will be, but at the same time, the warmth and touch brought to them by the gentleness makes them unable to bear the memory.

***

Taisho, Jingxin Mountain.

boom!

A loud bang!

The people in the dojo turned their heads one after another: "What happened?!"

Thinking of someone, California Qingguang suddenly had a bad premonition.

...It wouldn't be what he thought it would be!

"Wow!"

Osamu Dazai jumped back, just barely getting burned.

The black guy was rampaging in front of his eyes, the speed was so fast that only afterimages remained, and he couldn't tell whether it was a human or a ghost.The other party rushed into the kitchen, and Osamu Dazai hurriedly followed, only to hear a "plop"——

The thing fell into the water tank and fell silent.

Dazai Osamu: "..."

If I remember correctly, it was Soujiro's wine jar.

Soujiro is not an alcoholic, but occasionally drinks a few drinks.In the cold and dewy night, I sat on the roof with California Qingguang, drinking and chatting, the cold moon reflected in the wine cup.Dazai himself was refused to drink by Soujiro on the grounds that he was "young".

Osamu Dazai always felt that that scene was remembering something.

"Wow, that's scary—"

Osamu Dazai walked into the wine tank.

"Think I'm going to say that?"

He stretched out his hand towards the wine tank, "That's it, little black one."

Grumpy Grumpy Grumpy.

A string of bubbles emerges from the vat.

boom!

The wine tank was also torn apart.

"belch--"

Osamu Dazai only had time to see a smear of orange passing in front of his eyes, accompanied by an extremely strong smell of alcohol!

That guy didn't run so fast this time, he was crooked, as if... he was drunk.

Osamu Dazai stood at the door, watching the dark guy rushing into the forest, feeling happy in his heart.

The guy who didn't like it is finally gone!

But, if Soujiro finds out...

Osamu Dazai imagined the scene, pondered for a few seconds, and resigned himself to his fate to chase after him.

Damn it, it's all this dark guy's fault.

Dark shadows were rampaging through the woods.

"Toot, toot, the king asked me to patrol the mountain... No, I am the king of the mountain!"

In the forest, a boy wearing a wild boar hood and naked//bare to the upper body is humming and mumbling the new vocabulary he just learned from the old man at the foot of the mountain.

Suddenly, the pores all over his body tightened!

Wild boar boy has a beast-like keen intuition, he can clearly sense that a powerful guy is approaching quickly!

"what?!"

"How dare you break into the territory of King Benshan!"

boom!

The pig's head was knocked down directly.

Nothing had time to see clearly.

"hateful!!!"

He jumped up in a second and chased after the shadow.

"Stop for me!"

"Are you afraid of me?! Don't run away if you have the ability!"

"Ugh……"

Osamu Dazai, who was following behind, held his forehead tiredly.

The author has something to say: the Taisho timeline and Wenye timeline are not the same.

The chief executive went to Ranpo this time when he was 14 years old (Dazai was about 10 years old at this time), but the one who came to Taisho was 14 years old.

*From Wen Ye's official novel "Secrets on the Establishment of a Detective Agency".

It is the best match with pigs and pigs.
