Chief Okita in Taisho

A week later.

Osamu Dazai walked along the road near the sea.

The Mafia had no mission, so he changed back to the white suit.

On one side is the sparkling sea under the sun, and on the other side is the road with cars roaring past from time to time.

The sea looks good today.

Dazai thought to himself.

But he didn't jump off.

Since he became the leader, he never allowed himself to commit suicide.He can't really die until he achieves his goal.

Osamu Dazai reached his destination——

A western restaurant.

Although it is a Western food restaurant, the most famous dish here is the spicy curry.

About a hundred meters away, another building caught Dazai Osamu's attention.

It is an old Japanese building with a large area, surrounded by white walls and black bricks, and hidden in the vegetation.

Osamu Dazai withdrew his gaze, entered the shop, sat down, and ordered curry.

"Boss, what is that building next to it, a dojo?"

The owner of the western restaurant is a slightly fat uncle. He took a look at the young man, who was well-dressed and had a gentle and harmless smile.

Such a character would actually make a special trip to eat curry in his shop.

The boss was puzzled, and replied: "Ah, yes, it is a boxing dojo [Suliu]. The master there is very skilled in martial arts, and he and his daughter depend on each other for life."

"that is……"

The shop owner smiled wryly, "You can also see that this place is a bit out of the way, so there are basically no disciples. He will go out to work, and his daughter will come to work with me."

The store owner looked at the time, "It should be almost here."

As soon as the voice fell, the store door was pushed open, bringing out a crisp wind chime.

The girl's voice fell.

"sorry I'm late."

Osamu Dazai glanced at it calmly.

The girl looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a pink kimono, with a blue snowflake hairpin in her hair.

She is a cute but ordinary girl, the kind who won't attract attention if thrown in the crowd.

If I had to say something that was eye-catching, her pupils were in the shape of five petals.

Hmm...it does need to be carefully cared for like a flower.

After reading all the information like reading a barcode, Osamu Dazai stopped paying attention to the girl.

Ah, when will Okita-kun come back?

Even the shopkeeper's voice softened a bit.

"I'm not late, Lianxue, the time is just right."

The girl named Lianxue nodded, rolled up her cuffs and went backstage to help.

After a while, the store door was pushed open again.

"Yo."

"Odasaku."

The red-haired man at the door was taken aback.

"Ah, it's you."

"Do you like curry too?"

"No."

Dazai smiled wryly.

"How should I put it, the person I'm looking for is not here, so I can only pass the time by doing something new that I don't usually do."

"Indeed," Oda Sakunosuke sat down next to him, and said as if he was serious, "It's not easy to wait for your lover, but because of this, you will be full of happiness when you wait until that moment."

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Osamu Dazai choked on the spicy curry and coughed non-stop.Seeing this, Oda Sakunosuke kindly handed over a glass of ice water.

Osamu Dazai swallowed it in one gulp, the end of his eyes were slightly red, a little tear was choked up, and he glanced over.

"Odasaku..."

How did you say such shameless words with such a calm face!

Don't apply the plot of a romance novel to reality.

"Ok?"

Oda Sakunosuke was completely unaware of his problem, and was still waiting for Dazai Osamu's next words.

"……never mind."

Osamu Dazai muttered.

"Odasaku."

Oda Sakunosuke turned his head and found that the man beside him was talking to the parallel wood grains on the table: "Do you know, besides our world, there are countless parallel worlds."

"Suppose you have an important person... He died in all worlds, only this world, the only world where he could survive, but he lost all memories of you..."

Dazai said softly.

"How do we do this?"

Oda Sakunosuke raised his head and took a sip of ice water.

"Is what you said the person you were waiting for?"

Osamu Dazai was noncommittal.

As expected of a novelist's intuition...

"If it was me, I would first look for the cause of the other person's amnesia and see if it can be recovered," Oda Sakunosuke said solemnly, "If it doesn't work, then create new memories."

"..."

Osamu Dazai was silent for a moment and changed the subject.

"How about the place I recommend?"

"good."

Oda Sakunosuke nodded, "The president is a man of prestige, and the detective skills in the agency are also very strong...just a little childish."

"The detective hasn't been around lately, has he?"

Osamu Dazai started talking.

Oda Sakunosuke gave him a slightly surprised look: "How do you know?"

"If he was here, Odasaku probably wouldn't have time to come to the curry shop at this point."

"Yes," Odasaku admitted directly, "He went to the United States to participate in the competition a week ago, although I don't know why he didn't let me accompany him..."

But he was relieved instead. "Should be back today."

Great, it means Soujiro will be back today too!

Whoever has the ability to transfer Director Okita away from him, just think about it.

Don't fight me, little detective.

Outside the door, cheerful voices came from far and near.

"It's here."

"This is the curry shop recommended by our members. He said that Master Ranpo always eats sweet things, and he should change his taste. Hmph, he dared to question Master Ranpo."

The little detective pushed open the door, and his green eyes widened.

The person sitting in the store was the one he was speaking ill of - a member of the company, Oda Sakunosuke.

The guy next to him...

Edogawa Ranpo immediately pushed Okita Souji out of the door.

"I've changed my mind! Sure enough, it's better to eat dessert!"

Unfortunately it's too late.

Okita Souji tried to turn his head: "I seem to see..."

Dazai?

Edogawa Ranpo tried his best to block his sight with his modest height: "No! You didn't see anything!"

"Sojiro—"

Osamu Dazai shouted with a drawn out voice.

"Ah, it really is."

Edogawa Ranpo: "..."

Damn, he managed to take him away, but when he came back, he ran into him again!

In the end, Okita Souji and Edogawa Ranpo stayed in the shop and ate curry.

As the number of people increased, the four of them moved from the bar to the dining table by the window.

Oda Sakunosuke watched Dazai Osamu, who had been listless before, become full of energy, his pupils even shone with rare light, and took a sip from the water glass, feeling clear about it.

So this is ah.

Dazai Osamu and Edogawa Ranpo both smiled, but the conversation was undercurrent.

"Little detective, you should go back."

"No, Ranpo-sama still wants to stay with Soujiro for a while longer. Even though he and Soujiro took a double flight back to the United States, it was still not enough."

piss you off.

Osamu Dazai smiled unchanged.

"Don't be too clingy, little detective, do you want to be reprimanded by the president?"

Edogawa Ranpo: "..."

This guy actually used the president to suppress him!

Then don't blame him for being rude.

"The president won't teach me a lesson. Master Ranpo won the first place this time. None of those guys are my opponents!"

"Is that so, Soujiro?"

Chief Director Okita said with a smile.

"Yes, the random steps are very powerful."

"It's the most powerful in your heart, and no one else can compare to it!"

Director Okita coaxed a child, "Yes, it's even worse."

Dazai Osamu: "..."

When I go back, I will take over that Detective Association in one go!

Oda Sakunosuke who was out of the situation: "..."

Although I didn't read too many overtones, it felt like there were invisible dialog boxes flying around in the air.

Even Lianxue, who came to serve the meal, was frightened.

Edogawa Luanbu suddenly stopped talking, opened his green eyes, and looked at Lianxue fixedly: "..."

Lianxue was a little timid, "...a guest?"

Edogawa looked away in disorder.

"Ah... nothing."

Afterwards, Fukuzawa Yukichi called, and Edogawa Ranpo reluctantly followed Oda Sakunosuke and left.

Before leaving, he said to Mr. Okita: "When that girl gets off work and follows her, there will be new discoveries."

Believing in Ranpo's judgment, Director Okita did not ask any further questions, and nodded in response.

What new discovery, was it mistaken for a stalker?

Dazai complained.

***

Lianxue leaves work at seven o'clock in the evening.

The sun has already set, leaving only a little glow of sunset on the sea.

She came out of the curry shop with two bento boxes in hand.

Okita Souji, who was waiting not far away, followed immediately, and Osamu Dazai was also there.

The two kept a distance away from Lianxue's discovery.

The light on the sea dimmed, and the street lamps came on.

The straight-line distance of the dojo is not far, but to actually get to the door, you need to turn into two alleys from Binhai Avenue.

As soon as she turned into the alley, Lianxue heard two people arguing from inside.

To be precise, they are two ghosts.

Yiwozuo: "Tongmo!!! Can you clean up after eating?! The bones are thrown everywhere, do you still want to be found?!"

In order to resist the effect of the medicine to turn back into a human, Tong Mo kept eating people when he first arrived.

Yiwozuo had no choice but to share some of the ghost blood with him.

But now it's not like before - there are so many people outside staring at them!

And some people here have strange abilities.

For example, the man that day claimed to be the Marshal of the universe, and when he was about to be caught, he threw countless lemon bombs and exploded in succession!

Yiwozuo had no choice but to leave the man behind.

Another time, Tong Mo tried to grab a little blond girl to satisfy his greed, but before he could touch her, the little girl took out a huge needle and threw it at Tong Mo's head.

"Come, accept Alice's gentle caress—"

Tong Mo:? ? ?

Similar things happened several times, which caused Yiwozuo and Tongmo not to dare to act rashly.

"Hey, Your Excellency Yiwozuo, don't say such things," Tong Mo said, "I'm not eating, but leading them to bliss."

Bliss you ghost!

Yiwozuo's patience is on the verge of breaking. "Have you found the cyan flower?! Have you found a way to go back?!"

If this continues, he will be scolded to death by Mr. Wu Mi!

"You still have the heart to say such a thing!"

It's nothing to be in another world, but what's terrible is that you're still with Tong Mo!

Yiwozuo felt that his fists were hardening every day.

Anyway, Master Wu Mi is not around, can he directly kill Tong Mo to eliminate harm for ghosts? !

Seeing that Yiwozuo was really angry, Tong Mo tried to comfort him.

"Oh, don't be angry, Your Excellency Yiwozuo, I'm just not used to it. I used to be cleaned up by servants," he said with a playful smile, "How about Master Yiwozuo clean up for me?"

Yiwozuo exploded in anger!

Without further words, he punched Tong and scratched his head.

"Yes, it is... who?"

At this time, a timid voice sounded behind him.

someone!

Yiwozuo's movements stopped, and his killing intent exploded.

been seen.

Kill it.

Turning his head to see the person, Yi Wozuo was stunned on the spot, his pupils trembling.

"?!!!"

This girl—

The author has something to say: reincarnation and rebirth.
