After I retired, I became a Butei clerk

"Haha, you guys are really slow."

Returning to everyone's hiding place with Senior Dazai, Atsushi Nakajima and others, Eri Shiratori accidentally discovered that the main members of the detective agency gathered here. With Togawa Ranpo's proud voice, he rarely opened those green eyes, turned them around Shiratori Eri and the others, and then closed them again.

"If you don't come, Mr. Detective will leave first."

He shook the invitation letter in his hand, and Yosano Akiko who was with him also prepared a backpack with a large hatchet and was ready to go.

"This is the reasoning game invitation letter?"

Osamu Dazai stepped forward to get the invitation letter in Edogawa Ranpo's hand, looked at it a few times, touched his chin and made an unclear sound, then discussed with Edogawa Ranpo in a low voice, as if they had reached an agreement, Very cheerfully waved goodbye to Edogawa Ranpo and Yosano Akiko who went out.

After he left, Atsushi Nakajima, who had been hesitating all the time, also asked to leave. He wanted to find Izumi Kyoka, who had disappeared, and left with the approval of the president.

After a while, the main force here almost disappeared, only Osamu Dazai and the president were left, who could barely be regarded as pure combat and general-purpose people. Eri Shiratori looked at the remaining few people, and suddenly realized from his heart, It seems that the purpose of my coming here is to protect the members of the detective agency who have no fighting ability during this time.

"That's right, that's it, Eri-chan is so smart."

Osamu Dazai, who had finished discussing the matter with the president, sneaked up to Shiratori Eri quietly again, and answered her question, which made Shiratori Eri stunned for a moment, and asked him in surprise, "Did I say what I thought in my heart?" huh, senior?"

"That's not true. It's just that I saw Eri-chan's face was very serious after scanning the people here, so I guessed wildly."

Osamu Dazai sat on the seat in front of Shiratori Eri, leaned over her table and continued to talk to her. When he said this, he tilted his head inadvertently, "Is Eri-chan thinking about how to protect everyone?"

"Yes, senior."

Eri Shiratori suddenly wanted to rub Senior Dazai's head. How should I put it, it was his casual and casual movement just now, which made her seem to see a cat stretching lazily in front of her, which made her hand feel a little bit Feeling ready to move.

This is really strange, why didn't I think Dazai-senpai was actually very cute before, I was worried about whether he ran to commit suicide again, but the detective agency has a lot of things these days, even Dazai-senpai is so busy, I feel that he has no time committed suicide.

Shiratori Eri regretted giving up the idea of ​​doing it herself. After all, this behavior was not very appropriate for her seniors, so she had to continue asking the question, "Now the guards here are empty, is it okay?"

Edogawa, who is the most intelligent man, has left in disorder, the rescuers and Akiko Yosano have left, Junichiro Tanizaki and Doppo Kunikida have not returned yet, Mr. Nakajima has gone out, and Kenji Miyazawa seems not to be here. It would be very bad if there were enemies coming.

"It doesn't matter, the others will be back soon. As for this place, not everyone can find it, oh, except for the little black dwarf before."

Speaking of this, Osamu Dazai curled his lips in displeasure, "I have a bad feeling that I will see him again, it's really a thought that makes people lose motivation just thinking about it."

He seemed to have been hit hard, so sluggish that even the strands of his hair hung down, like a black cat with its ears drooping, Shiratori Eri once again pressed the strange thought in his heart, hold back, that's senior.

Fortunately, someone came back to divert Shiratori Eri's attention at this time. It was Kunikida Doppo and Tanizaki Junichiro. Apart from some dust and minor injuries, they seemed to be in good spirits, but Kunikida Doppo saw Shiratori Eri At that time, the expression on his face was very complicated, full of thoughts about how he could still feel like he had lost.

Instead, Junichiro Tanizaki came over first, and thanked Eri Shiratori for protecting his sister. This boy who looked a little weak, but his eyes were particularly firm when it came to his sister, told her the follow-up, in " After the two of them passed out, they took the opportunity to escape, and they just asked them to call the police, and the police who arrived at the scene took the two people away.

But just for a while, Tanizaki Junichiro really felt the difficulty of those two supernatural beings, especially the tentacle-shaped one. After all, even bullets can't work, and human power is even more difficult to contend with.

"Can you tell me more about that person?"

Osamu Dazai was very interested in this. After listening to Junichiro Tanizaki's description, he didn't know what to think about. He got up from the table, said hello to Eri Shiratori, discussed something with the president, and went out alone.

With the president sitting here firmly, Shiratori Eri was just waiting for orders, and in just a few days, I felt that the situation outside had changed a lot. When Dazai-senpai came back again, his right arm was bandaged and hung , as if injured again.He brought the news that the two "combinations" were released, that Atsushi Nakajima was captured by this organization, and that Edogawa Ranpo and Yosano Akiko had no news.

The president was still very stable, and brought everyone back to the detective agency. Afterwards, he and Dazai Osamu discussed in the president's office. At this moment, Eri Shiratori accidentally noticed a black spot on Kunikida Doppo's neck. handprint.

"Senior Kunikida, do you feel something is wrong there?"

She immediately asked him a question, and then saw him touch her neck, feeling a little strange, "It doesn't feel very comfortable on the neck."

"There's a black handprint over there," Shiratori Eri pointed, and reached out to touch him to signal him, but the handprint dissipated as quickly as smoke hitting the sun, "Huh? Disappeared."

"What's the matter?"

Originally, Kunikida Doppo was still a little embarrassed because Shiratori Eri's fingers directly touched his neck, but after listening to her description, he frowned and looked puzzled, "What you said is very similar to the situation that can only happen with supernatural powers. , you are not a supernatural being, how can you erase it, this is even more terrifying than Dazai's supernatural power."

He found the president and Osamu Dazai, and when he told the situation, their faces became serious, Osamu Dazai thought, "No, I saw Erika-chan take out the things you gave me before, if you said In other cases, they should have disappeared, but they didn't."

A few people decided to let Shiratori Eri do another experiment. Although she was a little confused because she was sure that she had no powers, she still touched the things that Kunikida Doppo had conjured with powers again as instructed. However, those things did not disappear.

"That's strange. According to Kunikida-kun, the one just now should be the ability of Q." Osamu Dazai opened his eyes wide, "No, this question is put aside for the time being, but the outside situation is not very good."

He rattled to the door of the detective agency, then quickly rushed to the roof, glanced at the ground, and observed the sky for a long time, frowning, "It's still a little troublesome now."

Returning to the detective agency again, he inspected the remaining combatants a few times, hesitated at last, assigned several people their respective tasks, raised his left hand, which was still movable, and called Shiratori Eri with a smile, "Eri Sau, it looks like we're going to go out together."

"Okay, senior."

Eri Shiratori didn't even ask why it was her, she just got up calmly and walked out of the building where the detective agency is located with him, she watched Osamu Dazai pointing at some people who started to go crazy on the street, her eyes had a special look because of the challenge, "Next, I will really ask Eri-chan to protect me."
