The forest is filled with a thin white mist, wrapped in cool dampness.

As far as the eye can see is a dense forest, only a little moonlight falls on the ground through the branches and leaves, barely illuminating the road ahead, but there seems to be no living things around except them, not even the sound of insects.

When Kamihara Kazami was thinking about how to speak, the person beside him had already asked first——

"Is there anything you want to ask?"

She glanced at the red-haired man on the right, and the man looked over after noticing her gaze.

"Did I get it wrong?"

"No, I do have something I want to ask."

Kazumi Kamihara withdrew his gaze and looked at the path ahead again. The ground under his feet was slightly soft, but it was not muddy after the rain.

"Did you find me in that world?"

"Absolutely not."

After answering, Oda Sakunosuke repeated what Chuya Nakahara said in his own world.

"It's still not sure whether the timeline is wrong, it's not the time for you to know each other, or the development is not the same."

"One or two...?"

Kazumi Kamihara noticed these words, and she pondered for a while.

"Has anyone else asked him?"

"Mr. Ranpo also asked the other party about this, but he didn't answer."

Oda Sakunosuke also felt a little confused.

Logically speaking, only the detective agency knew about this matter, but no one else had contact with the other party. Could it be that someone was aware of their purpose and asked in advance?

"And it seems that I don't believe it."

Oda Sakunosuke thought of the appearance of the orange-haired young man at that time, and the other party might think that they were perfunctory him.

"But compared to this, Mr. Ranpo suspects that Osamu Dazai is a high-ranking member of the port mafia, and he used to be an organization cadre in your world."

"Why do you think so?"

In fact, although Kazumi Kamihara was a little curious about Osamu Dazai in that world, he didn't have a certain degree of knowledge, but since the other party didn't mind talking about it, he would listen to it by the way.

"The port mafia attaches great importance to the man 'Dazai Osamu'. When the detective agency made an investigation, it immediately noticed and came to the door to warn. Coupled with the closely guarded information, there are roughly two guesses—one is that he is The other party organizes high-level cadres, and their special identities are absolutely confidential; one is that he is the target of the port mafia, and he may have plans for him, but the other party has been unable to find it because the other party is too secretive, and at the same time, he does not want people to find out about it... ..."

After a rough explanation, Oda Sakunosuke said: "At present, Mr. Ranpo is more inclined to the former, and it seems that he has already guessed."

After listening to the other party's analysis, Kazumi Kamihara thought for a while and asked: "I remember that the five major cadres are second only to the leaders of the port mafia. Generally speaking, those who can become cadres must have made a lot of contributions to the organization. It should also be very famous in the other world, are there any cadres whose information is unknown?"

"No, what the cadre said is..."

Oda Sakunosuke's words suddenly paused because he suddenly realized something.

"what happened?"

Kazumi Kamihara saw the red-haired man in front of him and opened his eyes slightly as if he had some kind of guess, showing a rare expression of astonishment.

"There is one person in the Port Mafia whose information is kept strictly confidential."

Oda Sakunosuke slowly said that guess——

"That is their leader. No one knows his appearance and name so far."

After hearing this, Kazumi Kamihara fell silent.

This may not be impossible, and coupled with the resourcefulness of the opponent she knows, it is not surprising to become the leader of an organization.

"Then do you want to ask the person involved?"

Kazumi Kamihara stopped and took out his phone and shook it at the other party.

"Although they are different worlds, the same person should have something in common."

Oda Sakunosuke froze for a moment when he heard it, and then stopped in his tracks as well.

"If you can."

At this moment, Osamu Dazai was being dragged back to the detective agency by Kunikida Doppo, while listening to the opponent's usual roar with his left ear in and his right ear out.

"You bastard escaped today's work again! And you brazenly approached strange women, do you know how much trouble you have caused to others! Thanks to you, my plan for today was beaten again..."

The black-haired young man who was being held by the collar looked at the floating clouds in the sky and sighed.

"I also want to go on vacation with beautiful women, not here listening to men complaining."

"If you want to take a vacation, at least give me a good job first!"

Kunikida Doppo angrily looked back at his usual lazy partner.

"and……"

At this moment, Osamu Dazai noticed that his mobile phone vibrated suddenly, and looked at the message on it in surprise after opening it.

"Ok?"

[Kamihara Kazami: I want to ask a question, why did you defect to the Port Mafia four years ago? ]

Osamu Dazai looked at this overly direct news thoughtfully.

"who is it?"

Kunikida Doppo had already let go of his hands, and stood aside with his arms folded, looking at him impatiently.

"It's Kazeki."

Osamu Dazai replied to the message without looking up.

[Osamu Dazai: Why did you suddenly ask this? ]

[Kamhara Kazami: Want to verify a guess, or change a question, have you ever thought about the position of the leader of the upper port mafia? ]

[Osamu Dazai: I have no interest in this position unless there is something important that can only be accomplished in this capacity. ]

[Osamu Dazai: But this is very troublesome. I really prefer a job where I can be lazy, so I will run away once I complete my goal. ]

Kazumi Kamihara believed that the other party would not lie to him. After all, he owed favors before, so at most he could not tell.

So, what is the important thing that makes the other party the leader of the port mafia?

Is it related to the defection four years ago?

[Kamihara Kazami: Do you know about parallel worlds? ]

Of course, he even experienced the rocket launcher of that decade.

[Osamu Dazai: I know. ]

[Kamihara Kazami: There is a world where you did not join the Armed Detective Agency, and no one has ever heard of this name, but the port mafia values ​​you very much, so I am a little curious about your identity in that world. ]

Kunikida Doppo, who was waiting aside, noticed that the black-haired youth's expression froze slightly, and then returned to normal, lowering his head and continuing to send messages.

[Osamu Dazai: Then you suspect that I in that world is the leader of the port mafia? ]

[Kamihara Kazami: Because the port mafia in that world changed its leader four years ago, and no one knows the appearance and name of the new leader. ]

Osamu Dazai had a guess after seeing this news, he seemed to be able to hear the heartbeat in his chest.

[Osamu Dazai: Oda Sakunosuke, does that world have such a name? ]

Oda Sakunosuke, who was standing next to him, showed a surprised and relieved expression when he saw it.

"...he knows me?"

Then he remembered what Nakahara Chuya said before——

Osamu Dazai used to be a port mafia cadre.

He is also a member of the Port Mafia.

But why would you suddenly mention yourself in this situation?

What is their relationship in that world?

[Kamhara Kazami: Well, I know, he is right next to me. ]

After sending this message, the other party did not reply to him.

After 1 minute, Kazumi Kamihara suddenly received a video call.

She subconsciously wanted to hang up, but after thinking about it, she hesitated, and then chose to pick it up.

And the black-haired young man in the video looked at his friend next to him immediately after connecting.

It was the first time for Oda Sakunosuke to see the appearance of that 'Dazai Osamu'. He observed the black-haired young man in the video silently, unable to distinguish the emotion in those eyes for a moment.

The other party seemed to be in an alley at the moment, with his back against an old mottled wall, and climbing vines with small white flowers protruding from the top of the wall. He stood in the shadow, drawing a boundary line with the sunlight outside.

"Should I say... the first time we met, Odasaku?"

In the end, Osamu Dazai was the first to say hello with a smile.

"Odasaku?"

Kazumi Kamihara noticed this address, it sounded very intimate, like the tone between friends, but isn't his surname Oda?

"Ah, that's what I used to call him."

After saying this, he paused, and then said: "It should be called you in another world."

"Do you mind if I call you that?"

Although Oda Sakunosuke felt that this was the first time they met, and they were not familiar enough to call them that, but under the two guesses of "they are friends in that world" and "he has died", they just kept silent for two Seconds later, he reminded: "I am not him."

"Of course I know about this kind of thing."

Of course Osamu Dazai would not regard him as a substitute for his friend, after all he had just used [a round-trip postcard to the dead] not long ago.

"But you are also Odasaku, I just want to... get to know you in another world."

How did the self in another world become the leader of the port mafia and save the other party.

"By the way, are you in the game now?"

Osamu Dazai glanced at the environment behind them.

"After all, it's still daytime in reality."

Kazumi Kanbara looked at the black-haired young man and finally set his sights on himself.

"Well, we are in a hot spring event, and he was invited by me."

"Hot springs, I'm so envious."

Osamu Dazai spoke in a slightly exaggerated tone while looking at the blonde girl with a smile.

Kazumi Kamihara already understood what the other party meant, and then also showed a smile.

"Zhong is also here."

After hearing this sentence, the black-haired youth showed a smile instead.

"Just right, I haven't seen Zhong Ye for a long time, I think he must welcome me very much."

Kazumi Kamihara: "...Are you serious?"

Then she saw that the other party casually said "wait a minute" and started sending messages to others. Within 2 minutes, she received a new message.

[Nakahara Chuya: If that bastard wants to come, let him come. ]

Kazumi Kamihara almost thought he was wrong.

"...What the hell did you tell him?"

"It's just that Chuya owed me a favor before."

In this case, Kazumi Kanbara has no reason to refuse.

The [Invitation Ticket] that I bought before was left because a few friends didn't come, so she directly invited the other party.

In the next second, the black-haired youth in the video was teleported in front of them.

Osamu Dazai looked at the red-haired man who was no different from his friend in memory, and showed a different smile than usual.

"Yo."

In the real world, the blond young man looked at the time again and again, because his partner said he wanted to make a video with the other party, and it was inconvenient for others to see him, so he found such a place, while he waited outside.

But is it too long?

Kunikida Doppo had a bad premonition in his heart, and then he walked directly inside with big strides.

Then I found that the alley was empty.

"Dazai, you bastard—!"
