After I retired, I became a Butei clerk

Night is a time for relaxation in many people's minds, but in Yokohama, the night is sometimes not so beautiful.

Kunikida Doppo, who was forced to search for clues in a remote place after dusk because of the commission he received, turned on the flashlight after being intimidated by Osamu Dazai. The associations that keep popping up.

In this empty and abandoned hospital, only the footsteps of myself, Osamu Dazai and the new member of the detective agency Atsushi Nakajima resounded in the empty corridor, and the rattling sounds echoing everywhere made this place even more It was very quiet.

And in the dark corner where even the flashlight can't shine, Kunikida Doppo always feels that there are things that make him very frightened, such as ghosts, monsters, and... ...

"Ah-------", the woman's shrill and shrill cry made Kunikida Doppo subconsciously shake his body, and countless strange things he heard when he was a child suddenly appeared in his mind, and indescribable fear enveloped his heart However, Osamu Dazai suddenly ran in the direction of the sound, pulling Kunikida Doppo from the spiritual atmosphere back to reality.

He immediately understood that the scream just now was clearly a cry for help that can only be issued by humans!

"Dazai."

Kunikida Doppo did not hesitate, calling out to Osamu Dazai who was still running ahead, speeding up to catch up with him and Atsushi Nakajima, the three of them followed the voice and found the woman who was desperately calling for help, she was blocked in a place decorated with glass On the cement platform, the water flowing from the faucet engulfed her body little by little, taking away her room to breathe.

And she was struggling to grab hold of the railing above, the only place she could barely get air.

After seeing them, the woman who looked like she was only in her 20s was finally exhausted and let go of the place she was clinging to for survival.

"what is this?"

Kunikida Doppo was shocked by this cruel method, and immediately took out his pistol and gun without hesitation, shattered the glass and rescued the woman. After the woman who claimed to be Sasaki was rescued and calmed down, he did From her mouth, I learned where the other kidnapped people were held.

right here!

After the three of them kicked open a few rusty iron doors, they finally found the cell where other people were hiding. girl with hair.

She stood quietly in front of the cell where the kidnapped were held. From her back, she seemed to be looking at the locked-up people who were knocking on the glass for help.

Sasaki's breath tightened suddenly when he saw the girl, Dazai Osamu who had been observing the surroundings intentionally or unintentionally, but at the moment Sasaki showed nervousness inadvertently, his eyes changed quietly, and he looked forward.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

Kunikida Doppo, who was at the front of the group, carefully held his unsecured hand and gun, pointed at the girl's shoulder, and warned her very seriously, "I am a member of the Armed Detective Agency who was ordered to investigate this case, please answer my question."

As if realizing that someone was talking to her, the girl turned her head slowly, revealing those blue eyes that were clean and beautiful even in the dark, with slight hesitation in her clear and melodious voice, "Are you, talking to me?" Am I talking?"

"you......."

Because the girl I saw really had a pure face, and her confused tone didn't look like a prisoner who would commit kidnappings many times. In addition to her exquisite and small figure, Kunikida Dubu was choked for a moment, and his tone was rare to slow down, but he couldn't ignore his duty, and asked aloud, "Little girl, how did you come here, and what do you want to do?"

However, he didn't hear the girl's answer, and the moment Kunikida Doppo became vigilant because he didn't get a response, and walked forward slowly, on the ceiling in the glass space, the iron nozzle began to spray white water. Gas, while the person calling for help suddenly coughed violently, holding his throat as if it was difficult to breathe.

"Do not."

Stimulated by the plight of the person calling for help, Kunikida Doppo subconsciously rushed past the girl, desperately knocking on the extremely strong glass, trying to rescue the person inside, "Hey, hold on."

"This is gas, Kunikida alone, don't go there."

Osamu Dazai, who found that the poisonous gas was unavoidable, also ran over, trying to stop Doppo Kunikida who lost his mind, and pulled him back hard, "It can't be like this."

"Let go of me, Dazai, how can a person die because of such a trivial matter."【1】

The excited Kunikida Doppo grabbed Dazai Osamu's hand, trying to break the door, but the girl who had been silently observing them without any response turned her eyes to Atsushi Nakajima who was trying to pull her away. The mood in Li was extremely calm, making Atsushi Nakajima, who wanted to take away the suspected prisoner, feel cold all over, as if he was being targeted by some existence.

This ominous intuition made him not immediately pull the girl away, but instead let her stand in front of the glass.

"If it's gas, it seems that you can't use anything that can cause a fire," Dazai Osamu, who had already discovered that there was a camera behind him, although he was pulling Kunikida Doppo vigorously, while carefully covering his face, he also focused his attention. Part of it was put on this girl who was not Sasaki's accomplice but appeared very strange.

So although he was trying to dissuade Kunikida Doppo from doing useless work, he also clearly heard the blue-haired girl talking to herself. Before he had time to analyze the inner meaning of the girl's words, the sharp knife light flashed in the corner of his eyes, making him His pupils constricted sharply, and even the strength to hold Kunikida loosened for a moment.

The knife-drawing technique without seeing the knife-drawing action, it seems that a fierce slashing has ended before it even started.

In the eyes of the rest of the people, the girl seemed to be just like a breeze blowing a willow leaf, and her body stopped after a slight movement. However, the sound of glass breaking and the gas smell wantonly emitted because there was no hindrance made everyone Everyone understands that the prison cell, which was still indestructible just now, has lost its threat because of a strange attack.

Atsushi Nakajima only saw the girl put her plain hand on the knife at her waist, and introduced them in a low voice, "Hello, it's our first time meeting. I'm Eri Shiratori."

"So, did Miss Shiratori come there because of some official business, and she didn't think that someone would be locked up there beforehand?"

In the whirlpool cafe, Osamu Dazai ordered a cup of coffee and delivered it to Shiratori Eri, then asked her curiously, and got a serious nod from Shiratori Eri, "Yeah."

"Ah, this is really amazing. Could it be fate that brought us together? The thought of this really makes my heart surge. I wonder if Miss Shiratori would like to be with me, wow."

Discovering that Eri Shiratori just glanced at the coffee and didn't intend to touch it, Osamu Dazai, who was trying to make a declaration of his death, was forced to hold his head by Kunikida Doppo, and his head was pressed down on the table. Kunikida Doppo who did this act But after pushing his glasses and coughing lightly, he seriously asked Shiratori Eri who was brought back with them.

"Although you said so, but due to work requirements, please answer my question," Kunikida Doppo took out his certificate from the Armed Detective Agency and showed it to Shiratori Eri, "Excuse me, Miss Shiratori, You came to the place where the victims were detained, what department did you deal with, can you show me your ID?"

Shiratori Eri glanced at the ID photo he took out, and immediately realized that this was his workplace.The Armed Detective Agency is probably an important institution in this world, then she shook her head at Kunikida Doppo, "Sorry, I can't talk about work."

She thought for a while and added, "I don't have a work permit either."

After all, even if ordinary people read the recruitment documents of Shizheng, they would not be able to see a little of the above content, and it was an illegal operation, because Shizheng does not allow them to interfere in the world.

"What?" Kunikida Doppo's voice instantly amplified, and then he lowered his voice, but it was difficult to conceal his irritability, "We are an agency authorized by the "government" and have the right to legally investigate the case and know the truth of the matter. If you refuse to answer, I can see that you are covering up the crime and treating you as a potential criminal."

Hearing that he was admonishing himself so seriously, Shiratori Eri, who had just returned to the present world and did not have a deep understanding of the present world, frowned suddenly, feeling troubled.

Did she do something wrong?

However, after beheading the scattered retrograde army, I accidentally opened a space passage, and then met a group of people locked in the glass door. Before I could see what they were doing, I was caught Someone broke in and clamored to save people, so he just saved the men who were forced to inhale the gas.

Then she was brought back by them.

Until now, she actually only knew that they were investigating the missing tourists in Yokohama and the mastermind behind the scenes, but this didn't seem to have anything to do with her, she was obviously not a prisoner.

Innocently involved in this accident, Shiratori Eri, who was also questioned, suddenly became a little more worried about the future of her resignation and returning to the present world to deal with the betrayers. Completely out of touch with this era?

This is really bad.

Shiratori Eri, who seemed a little dazed because she was immersed in the imagining that her future might be troublesome, naturally ignored the speech that Kunikida Doppo was distracted by her, and Dazai Osamu raised his head from the table. Busy with actions that seem to persuade Kunikida Doppo but are actually fanning the flames, Yu Guangli is paying attention to Shiratori Eri's every move.

Then he was startled by Shiratori's behavior of preparing to go out in a daze, Dazai Osamu immediately called back to Shiratori, "Miss Shiratori, you can't go yet."

"what?"

Osamu Dazai saw Shiratori Eri who was clicked by him as if suddenly regained consciousness, looked around left and right, and after seeing them, he showed a look of sudden enlightenment, and walked back obediently to sit next to him before.

Osamu Dazai's fingers tightened slightly calmly, and a strange thought suddenly appeared in his heart, is this girl always offline like this every day?How on earth did she survive!
