After I retired, I became a Butei clerk

"..."

"Senior Dazai, do you still remember that conversation in the hospital when we were in Tokyo?"

Seeing that Osamu Dazai didn't answer, just waiting for her to continue with an attitude of neither denying nor admitting, Shiratori Eri also continued without stopping, "I said it at the time, Dazai-senpai is Didn't you think of someone very important?"

"Although human beings are complex and fickle, each person will respond differently when facing the same situation. But, according to my observation, when facing the loss of a very important person or thing, No matter how human beings cover it up, their hearts are in pain.”

"So at that moment, I vaguely felt that Dazai-senpai, like me, is a person who has lost something very important. No matter what you do, you can't stop that kind of nostalgia."

"I even feel that from the first time we met, Dazai-senpai has been testing me intentionally or unintentionally, as if he wanted to see if the person you care about is really similar in some ways... .”

"Am I right, Dazai-senpai?"

When Eri Shiratori spoke peacefully without any accusations, and just expressed his thoughts sincerely, Osamu Dazai gradually stopped smiling.

He just kept his lazy posture unchanged, but his eyes were very complicated.There seemed to be something in the kite-colored eyes that must not be let out, making his eyes extremely dark, as if he was condescendingly exploring the heart of Shiratori Eri.

"Eri-chan, have you always thought this way? Or," Dazai Osamu had a half-smile, "you have been secretly guarding against me because of this kind of thinking from the very beginning?"

Are all your actions pretending to deal with me?

What he didn't say was accurately received by Eri Shiratori, making her look at him in surprise.For some reason, Osamu Dazai felt that at this moment, Eri Shiratori seemed to doubt his IQ invisibly.

What Shiratori Eri said next immediately proved that his feeling was not an illusion.

"Dazai-senpai, is it that you don't believe in yourself? You are so smart and good at separating clues from clues, you should be able to see if I have guarded against you?"

Shiratori Eri said this calmly, then changed her voice, and returned to the previous question again, "I said this to Dazai-senpai because I am the same as you. After losing important things, I met again. For an existence similar to it, I can't help but look forward to it, will there be a turning point?"

"Although in the end, I only deeply understood that what was lost will never come back."

At the end, Shiratori Eri's voice gradually lowered, "Death is a dividing line that separates the living and the dead, and can never be crossed."

"Even if the living people are sad and painful, that kind of emotion can no longer be felt by those people. Because they have completely disappeared from the world."

"So the moment I felt Dazai-senpai's previous emotions, I seemed to resonate, thinking of me because of you."

"It's the memory of people who are still alive for people who will never appear, and some more complicated and unspeakable things. Everyone has their own ideas, so I won't mention it. But... "

Having said that, Shiratori Eri stood up, and said the last sentence to Osamu Dazai who had not spoken but looked at her indifferently.

"Because I am like this, I know how painful it is for people who lose important things. If Ranpo-san loses the president because of this incident, I am afraid that he will reach the same level as we were before!"

"So when I have the ability to resolve that ability, I don't want him to encounter such a thing, that's all. Then it's nothing to get hurt."

"is it?"

As if finally getting tired of looking at each other, Osamu Dazai lowered his eyes and let Eri Shiratori go straight out of the door, speaking in a low voice, "Eri-chan is really..."

The unfinished words were silenced between his lips and teeth.

"Oh. That's right," Shiratori Eri, who was about to walk to the door, suddenly remembered what she felt when she sealed and suppressed the ability just now, and turned back to Osamu Dazai to add something.

"Senior Dazai, I failed to restrain that ability for the first time just now, because this ability seems to be a two-way link. I don't know who else has been tricked, and unilateral restraint will only provoke its rebound, so The first time it didn't work very well."

"But it's fine now, and the other person should have woken up. I feel that I can be recruited with President Fukuzawa, and the other party's status should not be low. I hope this news will be useful to you. I wish you an early resolution of this detective social crisis."

Seeing Dazai Osamu thoughtful, Shiratori Eri showed a gentle and peaceful smile, "Since Dazai-senpai asked me for leave, I'll go home first."

"See you later, Dazai-senpai."

She bid him farewell and left, and when she walked out the door, Shiratori Eri heard Osamu Dazai respond to her, "See you, Eri-chan."

Because she consciously helped, Shiratori Eri walked home in a good mood.

Although she doesn't think the injury on her hand is not serious, but since she can have a holiday, she still wants to be lazy occasionally!

It's just that when she walked somewhere, she suddenly felt that she was being watched.

Her heart trembled, and she walked slowly along the small road that few people would go, as if she was playing.

Seeing her so ignorant, those who followed her seemed delighted, and quickly followed her, the footsteps heard by Shiratori Eri's ears were getting closer.

In the end, when the man stretched out his hand to cover Shiratori Eri's mouth and nose from behind, she turned sharply and kicked her hard to fly away.

It wasn't until he fell to the ground that he wailed belatedly, and he and his companion who had been knocked to the ground not long after were wailed in pain.

"People, traffickers?"

Seeing them holding magic, medicine, sacks, bondage ropes and other things in their hands, Shiratori Eri was a little surprised. She, who is usually not noticed at all, can still be targeted by them?

Seeing them looking at me with disbelief, as if something unexpected happened.

Intuition told Eri Shiratori that there must be some problem.

So when they were trying to get up and escape, she beat each of them a little bit harder and then asked them calmly, "Now can you tell me why I was noticed by you?"

When encountering enemies trying to resist, don't hesitate to defeat them before talking to them!

Shiratori Eri flashed the words taught by those big bosses in the current affairs, and looked at the thief whose eyes were full of fear and disbelief towards a seemingly delicate girl like her, and thought calmly, it seems that he did not Forget what your teachers taught you.

"We said, we said, please don't do anything," the men who were still trying to resist looked at Shiratori Eri's raised fist again, and immediately begged for mercy, "Yes, it's the devil, we were deceived by him. I did it to you."

"The devil?"

Hearing some familiar titles, Shiratori Eri frowned and thought about it. Did she hear this title in the last combo battle?

Is it the member of the "Rat of the Dead House" who appeared behind the scenes in the "Moby Dick Down" incident with the big purple mouse head?

A while ago, Kunikida-senpai seemed to have gone out to look for his information, but he didn't hear any follow-up news.

How could I be targeted by him?

It stands to reason that she is just a detective agency clerk and has no use value.

"Yes, that's him. When we caught him, we heard him express his feelings for you, thinking that there must be a lot of people interested in a special person like you..."

"I'm sorry that we were blind, it was the manipulative demon who misled us, otherwise we would never have dared to do anything to you. For the sake of telling the truth, please let us go."

The man who spoke didn't dare to say the words to stop hitting, but just pushed the blame on Majin, his eyes wandered when he was meditating in Shiratori, and he wanted to run away.

Hearing what he said, Shiratori Eri was very puzzled, "Since you know that demon can deceive people, you still believe what he said, which is really contradictory. But yes, this kind of person is also very Trouble, if you don't pay attention, you will be led into his trap."

"He was caught by you, so where is he now?"

The man who was questioned subconsciously trembled, and finally whispered, "The port mafia."

"I understand!"

Shiratori Eri nodded, and then changed her voice.

"But I think you must have lied to me somewhere, right?"

"For example, the devil actually appeared in front of you again after he was captured, and said something to you, which made you willing to come and arrest me, right?"

Shiratori Eri asked this calmly, and saw the pupils of a few people who were still howling shrink uncontrollably.

She said slowly, "That man is really scary. He even made you subconsciously hide the truth when I beat you to this point. What does he want to do? I'm really curious."

Afterwards, Shiratori Eri didn't care about what she said, and picked up the ropes in those people's hands.Smiling at them, he asked calmly, "Would you take the initiative to turn yourself in while I was watching, or would you be tied up and sent over after I beat you again? Choose one for yourself."

Since committing the crime in front of her is still on her head, then please accept the trial according to the laws of the world.
