Great writers and philosophers

After the two disciples of Natsume Soseki agreed to the "Three Moments Concept" proposed by the teacher, the daytime in Yokohama belongs to the government, the night belongs to the port mafia, and the border between day and night—dusk—is in charge of the armed detective agency.

However, the Armed Detective Agency does not have a landmark building as a front row like the Port Mafia, and even in the early stages of its establishment, it seems too "simple", not to mention that there are only a few employees. Compared with another organization of the same family, it is particularly sad.

But Fukuzawa Yukichi doesn't care about these illusory things. Compared with these, he cares more about the lives of his employees.

Especially the lives of problem employees.

Edogawa·Problem employee·Ranpo: "President! I'm not not doing my job properly, I'm just interested in the people behind these words, and the case at the railway crossing can be seen at a glance, why do I have to say Come out— hurry up and grab that conductor."

The man in his late twenties is dressed in a rather unusual way. Under the short straight black hair is a handsome literati face, but his cheeks are a bit round, so when he looks unpleasant, he always brings out a kind of unworldly innocence. , like a child.

It's just that the perpetrators in Yokohama probably didn't dare to treat this innocent man with a harmless face as a child.

Edogawa Ranpo, who claims to have the ability of [Super Reasoning], can see through any puzzles at a glance—he can indeed see through all kinds of difficult and miscellaneous cases at a glance, but it has nothing to do with the ability.Edogawa Ranpo is an ordinary person without supernatural powers, but his mind is even more frightening than supernatural powers.

Maybe the man with the smartest brain doesn't even know how to ride a tram, he was expelled from school because his parents died unexpectedly, and he didn't know how to deal with the world. Being tortured by the absurdity of the so-called illogical logic displayed by human society... That's all, who at the end of the [-]th century is not mentally ill?Not a big deal.

But the problem is, it's just that the mind is tortured, and the young man quickly develops a strong self-confidence and personality, and will not fall into self-doubt and conflicts between the individual and the world and be unable to extricate himself and completely degenerate.As his motto says - if it suits me, everything is fine.However, body and soul cannot be separated.

Teenagers who can't understand and cannot learn the rules and knowledge necessary for those social animals will soon face the tragic situation of starving to death because they can't find a job, have nothing to live on.

It was at such a desperate moment that a man with a sword in a simple kimono appeared in front of him—that is, the silver-haired middle-aged man standing in front of Edogawa Ranpo, with his hands tucked into his sleeves.

Fukuzawa Yukichi, the president of the Armed Detective Agency, has long been accustomed to Edogawa Ranpo's character, and he was not angry when he heard the words. He first contacted the armed police who asked for help and told them the answer deduced by Edogawa Ranpo, and solved the case. It was only when he was not working that he chatted with Edogawa Ranpo about the person the other party was following.

To be precise, writer.

"Mr. Polaris's works vary in style and subject matter, but they are all excellent works. My teacher also likes some of his colleagues' articles... Luanbu, you just said that you are interested in Mr. Polaris, it is literature still?"

Legs crossed behind the desk, with one cheek puffed up, Edogawa Ranpo, who seemed to be holding a candy or fruit in his mouth, closed the book in his hand with a snap, and took out his mask of pretending to be a superhuman from the short brown cloak. Prop black framed glasses, and put them on.

"What it is, you have to see the other party with your own eyes, and then you can know the result by using supernatural powers." Edogawa Ranpo said in a deep tone.

Fukuzawa Yukichi thought for a while, "Where is the other party now?"

"It's in Yokohama." Edogawa said casually.

Fukuzawa Yukichi choked, although he knew that since Ranpo Edogawa had said that he was going to meet Polaris, there was a high probability that he not only knew where the other party was, but the location must not be far away...but In Yokohama...is it actually in Yokohama?

Now that we are in Yokohama and the work at hand is over, let's find the address of Polaris~

Ever since, Qiyeying, who didn't know that she was about to be blocked at the door by some kind of "illegitimate meal", was still reading the work of the teacher who came over without any sense of crisis.

When traveling around the world before, Hotaru Nana had never been to Japan... It should be said that she had never been to Japan since she returned to this world.

This world should be regarded as the first stop for her to travel through the journey. When she was just an ordinary literary youth born under the red flag and grown up in the spring breeze, she never expected that she would change the world inexplicably. Not to mention, I went through the period of infancy again...it's really unbearable to look back.

At that time, although there were indeed many unspeakable and complicated emotions at the beginning, in the end, I could only sum it up with "if it comes, it will be safe".

It's a pity that her body doesn't know if it's because she pretended to be an unsuitable soul. She has been sick since she was a child, and she blushed and panted after running for two steps. Later, she couldn't even go out of the room.

In the end, it didn't take long in the end, he died of illness early, and tragically became a war orphan who was picked up by Konoha Village after the third Ninja World War to reserve resources.

That was a long, long time ago, and if it wasn't for her return this time, the experience of being ill for a lifetime might also be completely forgotten by Qi Yeying.

return……

Qiye Ying had secretly visited her former family members and found that "Lucy Aile" had been dead for several years, and her lively and noisy younger brother also looked like an older brother, and she loved their youngest daughter Shirley very much.

Qiyue Ying felt relieved knowing that they were doing well, and then tried to find Bugarati, but she had never been to Italy, she was really not familiar with it, and she didn't remember where Bugarati's hometown was, so she died without a problem. Instead, I started a travel life of playing around and not settling in a certain place.

The reason for this is not because Polaris said that she wants to see all the wars—she and Uchiha Itachi have seen enough, but the main reason is that in her previous life she lived without a fixed place. I got used to it, and when I suddenly settled down, I still felt at a loss.

God knows she was a dead house!

Life really can change people beyond recognition (cross out).

All in all, because Nanaya Hotaru has never been to Japan before, and after discovering that this world has been here, she knows what the literary world of this world is like-the last time she was sick and couldn't go out, and she didn't even have a familiar book. Every day is like the people in Stefan Zweig's "The Story of Chess" and A Cheng's "The King of Chess"... Otherwise, there are so many allusions, sentences and paragraphs, if she hadn't memorized them over and over again, how could she remember them? So long? ——So, until now, Qiye Ying discovered that there are still literary der in this world!

Ahem... Saying this may cause misunderstandings, but to be honest, when Nanaya Hotaru accidentally saw the line "author Natsume Soseki", she really almost cried.

The so-called "meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land" is also difficult to describe her state of mind at that time.

It also strengthened her determination to settle here after the trip.

To make a digression, if the sequence of events hadn't happened in the way that Nanaye Hotaru discovered Natsume Soseki's novel after the book signing, she would never have said anything to the boy named Osamu Dazai who appeared at the book signing, "Improper Dazai" Just don’t treat it as anything”!

To know!Although the time seems to be wrong, but since Natsume Soseki exists, then, then that "Osamu Dazai" is probably "Osamu Dazai"!

Maybe someone already has an initial idea of ​​embarking on the road of literature, even though he was still a middle school student, he had already thought of the pen name "Osamu Dazai" for himself? (Osamu Dazai's real name is Shuji Tsushima)

In this case, in the not-too-distant future, when the name "Osamu Dazai" first shines in the Japanese literary world, maybe the other party will take out a book with his own signature and inscription, and talk about the past, becoming an anecdote in the literary world Woolen cloth!

It's exciting just thinking about it! ! !

(The seniors on the mountain that I could only look up to are now my juniors!!!)

cough cough...

It was when Qiyueying was daydreaming wildly while reading a book, imagining how she would act like a senior when Osamu Dazai, a newcomer to the literary world, appeared in front of her, and at the same time build a good relationship with the other party and stage a transnational literary friendship. Fukuzawa Yukichi and Edogawa Ranpo appeared outside the fence of her house.

At that time, Nanaya Hotaru was wearing a cotton plaid skirt and sitting on the swing made by Uchiha Itachi. The cherry tree transplanted last year bloomed smoothly this year, but the flowers were a little sparse. When the breeze blows, the pink and white petals are sparse. There is a different kind of loneliness.

None of the nearby residents built their walls as high as Qiye Yingying and the others, but no matter how high they were, they were no higher than the branches. Occasionally, three or two flower branches slanted out of the wall, like a delicate girl supporting the wind.

Edogawa pushed his glasses in disorder, pointed to the wall with certainty and said to Fukuzawa Yukichi, "That's right here, that's where she's smiling."

The faint female laughter coming from the light blue masonry wall seemed very happy.

Fukuzawa Yukichi didn't know how to reply to this sentence, so he just kept silent, nodded, turned around and walked towards the main entrance, intending to pay a formal visit to the writer Polaris who lives here.

Edogawa Luanbu stopped inexplicably, touched his chin and looked at the flower branches protruding from the wall for a while, and then followed Fukuzawa Yukichi's footsteps.

"The swing inside the wall is the way outside the wall. There are people walking outside the wall, and the beautiful people inside the wall laugh."

When Qiye Ying opened the door, she was a little surprised, not understanding why these two people who were neither neighbors nor salesmen appeared, and then heard each other's self-introduction.

(Fukuzawa Yukichi???)

(Edogawa Ranpo???)

(Uchiha-kun, I saw a living literary hero again!!!)

I don't know that the Edogawa Ranpo in front of me is even more detective than the detective written by Edogawa Ranpo in another time and space Not to mention his address, he went directly to explain and apologize, smiled enthusiastically, and quickly invited the two to come in.

Although there is no need to worry about food and clothing and money, it is not a problem to stay at home all day long, so Uchiha Itachi found a job from [-] to [-], and he is not at home at this time. If I can do it, I will still do it, such as making tea, taking snacks and cutting fruits.

Fukuzawa Yukichi, who was entertained by an exceptionally warm and hospitable host, just got better and better at the North Star in his heart, but Edogawa walked and impolitely observed the living room and garden. If Fukuzawa Yukichi hadn't been paying attention, I'm afraid he still plans to run upstairs to check Qiyeying's bedroom.

But it doesn't matter even if you don't check it. For the world's number one detective, the information he has obtained so far is enough for him to deduce the truth of the matter!

So, Qiye Ying sat down with excitement, and smiled and planned to ask the two of them why they came - it would be great if they could find out whether they like Polaris' works or not! ——At that time, the man named Ranpo Edogawa who was dressed like a detective pushed his black-rimmed glasses, and looked straight at her with eyes as clear as emeralds.

"Polaris, you are not from this world, are you?" The question was obviously used, but the determined tone directly skipped the declarative sentence and jumped directly to the arrogance of the command sentence.

Qiyeying was taken aback, and did not react until her back touched the back of the sofa. She swallowed, sat up straight again in embarrassment, and twisted her fingers in a panic, "What, what?"

Fukuzawa Yukichi, who was also taken aback by Edogawa Ranpo's words, saw Nanaya Hotaru's reaction, and at the same time felt deeply absurd, and at the same time had a feeling that the three views were about to be shattered as if they had not yet come completely.

In a nutshell - Fukuzawa Yukichi: Pupil Earthquake.jpg

"How did you come to this world? What does the other world look like? Is there only sea but no continents? Is it a similar age? What is the identity of the other me there? Could it be a writer? Someone more famous than you ? Is it because you discovered..."

Qiyeying, who was caught off guard and stripped of her clothes, chose to follow her heart in the face of a lot of problems that came her way.

In short, she was dumbfounded.

It's not that she can't stand it, it's just that she really doesn't know what words to use to describe the situation at this moment. It's not appropriate to say it's a predicament, or it's not a problem. Only the word "absurd" can be replaced. , however, "absurd" is just a concluding word, and there is usually nothing else after absurd.

So Qiyeying couldn't think of anything else.

To be fair, she didn't even know how she was exposed.

Could it be that this Edogawa Ranpo is a stand-in messenger, and his stand-in ability is a trick like "reading the mind" or "reading a person's past"? ? ?

While staring at Edogawa Ranpo in a daze, Nana Hotaru frantically opened up a small theater in her mind without delay. Finally, many thoughts reached a consensus. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak. spoke in front of her.

"Do you want to call your husband back? He is not from this world, is he? Is it just you two people from another world? Or are there more? Why don't you speak? Am I someone you respect very much?" Is it a parallel character? Hey, Polaris, can you take people to other worlds? By the way, your ability should be a stand-in ability, right? Also, is the prototype of Sarah in "You La Died for Love"... "

Qiyeying has already seen that the other party is asking questions and then reasoning based on clues such as her micro-expressions... But it's useless, she can't control herself!

How did things get like this?

The aggrieved Qiyeying clasped her arms across her chest, opened a pair of dead fish eyes, and expressed her resistance with silence.
