After repeating the unfamiliar term that Osamu Dazai said, Chizuru and Ranto Shiro next to him looked at each other in blank dismay, and she asked uncertainly, "Does Ranto know this place?"

The blond-haired child shook his head, with a blank expression on his face: "I've never heard of it."

At the same time, the two cast their innocent eyes on the young man across the street.

Dazai raised his eyebrows slightly.He is best at observing people's expressions and every move, and he thinks he is pretty good at reading people's hearts.If the two children in front of me were acting, their acting skills would be great.So he changed the entry point.

"Do you know why Ranpo didn't accept your commission?"

Qianhe shook his head honestly, and then answered with a face: "Why?"

"Detectives don't like clients who tell lies."

The young man's long brown trench coat was finally blown up by the breeze, and the hem of the garment was only slightly floating, which had the same curvature as his soft and slightly curly short black hair.

Qianhe, who was pointed out, was a little helpless, and it was not her intention to lie.

"Then the big brother came to me to accept my commission in private?" She asked back, "You are very suspicious of following two underage girls."

The corner of the young man's mouth curved slightly, as if he was amused by her words.

Half an hour later, Dazai Osamu appeared in the coffee shop on the same floor as the Armed Detective Agency with his two children.

The waitress kindly offered the two children a glass of milk, then smiled and ignored Osamu Dazai's request for a cup of coffee.

"The hot milk will be charged to Mr. Dazai's account."

"What... what!" Osamu Dazai covered his face pretending to be in pain, as if he had suffered a serious injury.

Chizuru and Luan are both honest children. Seeing that Osamu Dazai was so sad, he immediately came up with a client who was rejected by his colleagues because his colleagues were too good to get jobs and make money. Such a plump image for a living.

"It's okay brother, we will pay the bill ourselves." Qianhe said with sincerity.

Dazai Osamu praised Qianzuru for being a good and considerate boy without changing his expression.

"About what you said about the port mafia, I'm sorry, I really don't know much. I only have six years of memory now, and I don't remember many things."

"Hey——" Osamu Dazai dragged out the end of his voice.

Thinking back carefully, he really hadn't seen her much.It's just that when I was still in the port mafia, I saw the little girl running around chasing that slug.

"So can you tell the truth now?"

The little girl opposite seemed a little hesitant: "You have to make sure that no one else will know the content. You can choose to quit at any time during the investigation process, but you can't ask others for help. I will do my best to ensure your personal safety. The most important thing is , you must be a genuine supernatural power user."

Dazai Osamu responded, and looked at the girl thoughtfully again: "Is it something that only people with supernatural powers can know?"

"Yes."

"Then you should really be glad that I am the one who took over this commission." He pointed.

Chizuru was not particularly able to understand the meaning of his words, but it didn't seem to be very important, so she happily put this information behind her.

Learning from the previous lessons, this time Qianhe was very frank: "There are some details that I still can't say, I hope you can understand."

Osamu Dazai made a please gesture.

"My alma mater, um... you can think of it as a special school for supernatural powers. Every year, the school organizes fixed combat exercises, and this year is no exception. The location of the actual combat exercises is set in the east of Yokohama. A warehouse area."

The east warehouse area... There were indeed many deaths some time ago. Dazai Osamu did not interrupt, he just wrote it down calmly.

"I am a graduate student, and the task I received this time is to assist the school's leading teacher to complete this actual combat exercise."

The girl in front of her was only thirteen or fourteen years old, yet she claimed that she had already graduated.Osamu Dazai twirled the ballpoint pen in his hand, and suddenly became very interested in the incident that the girl said.And the analogy of the "academy for people with supernatural powers" in her mouth also made him very concerned.

Osamu Dazai asked: "Is the task of assisting in the completion of the exercise done every year? Or is it the first time here?"

"It's an annual practice."

"Okay, you continue."

"Everything was normal during the exercise, and it was only when we gathered and counted the number of people that there were fewer people. I asked the students to find people in groups, and within two steps, I heard the screams of the students. When I arrived there, I immediately saw Ji... No, I mean, monsters." Qianzuru swallowed the three words of Killian that almost blurted out, "Since then, monsters have emerged continuously. The number far exceeds the normal value."

"Are you familiar with the monster? Or is this the first time you've seen it?"

"I am familiar with it. Among the monsters that appeared that day, most of the low-level monsters are very common. I have also come into contact with the only two high-level monsters."

Or graded monsters.Osamu Dazai raised his eyebrows, motioning for Chizuru to continue talking.

"We immediately sent a signal for help to the school, but the rescue was interrupted by an unknown black barrier, which delayed the time, resulting in heavy casualties among students and ordinary people on the day of the attack."

"So you want to find out who is behind the scenes? Have you already concluded that it was man-made? What is the basis?"

"Monsters are not sane. Such premeditated catching of turtles can only be done artificially." Qianzuru said firmly, the hot milk in his hand had lost its temperature. Soul... No, I mean, there is a huge gap between the actual number of corpses found and the estimated number, and those victims all disappeared without a sound."

Those souls that disappeared seemed to have dissipated into spiritual particles, and they could never be found again.

Therefore, there are three key points of the event.Osamu Dazai tapped the table with his fingers, and his thoughts diverged in his mind: "First, you want to find the real culprit who drives the monster behind the scenes. Second, you want to investigate the whereabouts of the missing corpse. Third, the most important thing One point, whether the first two are related, you can't draw a conclusion now. Is that so?"

His summary was clear, simple and clear, and Qianzuru nodded affirmatively.

"Has there been any similar cases in the previous two incidents?"

"There is the first point. But the perpetrator at that time has been detained, and there is absolutely no possibility of it happening again. As for the second point..." Qianhe frowned, trying to find clues in her shallow memory, "The inexplicable disappearance..."

This word seems to have been seen somewhere.

Whenever Qianzuru thinks, the black hat on the top of her head will bend to say hello, she must have heard this word before.Chizuru couldn't help but knocked on the head.Because she was isolated from spirits while staying in the skeleton, she couldn't communicate with Sato.After hesitating for a moment, Qianhe raised his head cautiously: "Well... Shall I go to the bathroom?"

Osamu Dazai laughed: "Please go ahead." It's so easy to understand.

After ordering Luan to wait for her obediently, Qianhe got up and went to ask the waitress for directions.

Luan reluctantly watched Ji Jun's back disappear from sight, then picked up the cold half glass of milk in front of him and drank it down in one gulp.

I am drunk with milk alone, but I beg Ji Jun to return to QAQ as soon as possible

Compared to Ran, who was listless in an instant, Dazai Osamu looked like a good uncle with a smile on his face.

"Are you sisters?"

"Isn't it?" Luan asked.He decided to judge whether he hated him or not by the answer of the young man in front of him.

Dazai said with a smile: "Like." He stroked his hair, and he really obeyed the blond child, it was so easy to understand.

"Is the truth of this incident important to you?"

Judging by the reaction of the elder sister of the pair of sisters, this is obviously a secret that cannot be disclosed to the outside world.But since a high degree of confidentiality is required, why did you find a third party, the Armed Detective Agency?

Dazai Osamu's mind is full of the layout and selection of several forces in Yokohama.

And Chizuru, who had taken off the skeleton in the bathroom, released his spiritual power and summoned Sato out of his spirit body.

After holding back in the skeleton for a long time, Kaitu was finally liberated.He raised his hand and poked Qianhe's head lightly, with a helpless expression on his face: "Before you set off, Miss Chumori, the vice-captain of the fifth division, told you thousands of times that you had read it yourself, why did you forget?"

Qianzuru knew she was wrong, stuck out her tongue, and swayed Saitu's wide haori cuff left and right: "Next time will definitely be the next time! You can tell me first this time? We are still waiting outside!"

Sato, whose hand was bound, was unmoved: "Next time?"

"Next time definitely!"

It means there will be a next time.Sabito sighed: "Have you forgotten? The handover list of Yokohama's resident Shinigami."

"Ah! I seem to have a little impression..."

"Is it the day I first came to Yokohama?" Qianzuru continued to talk to himself without waiting for Satoshi to answer, "I was in a hurry to find a new home and didn't look carefully. It turned out to be that one! The whereabouts of those four are still unknown The god of death is guarding!?"

Fortunately, it's not too hopeless.Sato comforted himself, he stretched out his hand to lift Chizuru's skeleton sitting on the toilet seat, "Go in, isn't there someone waiting?"

"Hi!" Qianhe honestly began to drill into the skeleton.

From Satoshi's point of view, one Chizuru is drilling into another Chizuru's body, which is quite weird.

Probably stuck, Qianhe thumped her legs trying to push herself stubbornly into the skeleton.Satu, who couldn't stand it any longer, stretched out his hand and gave her a push.This push reminded Qianhe.

She flung out a hand from Yikui again to grab Satu, her voice was muffled because Yikui blocked her: "Almost forgot, Satu is back too!"

Sabito, who still wanted to stay outside to accompany him, was dragged into Yihu by Qianzu before he could resist, and was forced to return to Zanhundao.

...Okay, what else can I do.

Chizuru hurriedly returned to her seat.Seeing Ran and Osamu Dazai talking happily, Chizuru breathed a sigh of relief.It appeared that nothing had gone awry during her absence.

"I remembered." She looked at Osamu Dazai seriously.

Osamu Dazai propped his chin and looked at Chizuru with squinted eyes and a smile, as if he really believed that she was "thinking".

"In the past year and a half, four of my colleagues have disappeared in Yokohama one after another."

"Their whereabouts are still unknown, and their life and death are still unclear."
