The moment Akutagawa Ryunosuke opened his eyes, it was still dark, and the alarm clock beside the table was pointing to four o'clock in the morning, and the temperature was slightly cool.

Wearing a kimono, he sat up suddenly from the bed, his dark eyes were clear, and he didn't feel sleepy at all. He reached out of the bed, and the Sanhua cat beside the pillow was awakened by the noise. The cat shook its ears and looked up at the The young man on the side.

There was a smell of blood around the tip of his nose, and Jin Zhisuke pricked up his ears, stood up, stepped on the quilt and walked to the bedside.

Akutagawa rolled up the sleeves of the kimono at the fastest speed, and a laceration about seven centimeters in length and diameter appeared on the left upper arm, which was originally unharmed. The skin and muscle tissue disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving a bloody mess. The bottom of the muscle looks like a piece of meat has been bitten off by some beast, but the tooth marks are like human's.

Although it looks quite serious, this injury is not just caused. It seems that it has been maintained for about a week, and there are slight signs of tissue regeneration, and the blood will not flow too much.

And the dripping blood was also intercepted by the entrance of the Rashomon different space opened directly under the arm by Akutagawa, preventing it from falling onto the tatami below.

"Meow!"

Sanhuamao let out a nervous cry.

"Shh."

Akutagawa put the finger of the intact hand up between his lips, the cat flicked its tail and closed its mouth.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who had just returned from another world, breathed a sigh of relief.

Because he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, he activated his ability to travel across the world, and unexpectedly went to the old era before Japan's innovation—his gray kimono just fit the environment, and it was not very eye-catching.

Such a backward era naturally does not have the technology to travel through time and space, and the laws of time and space have very weak restrictions on outsiders, so Akutagawa Ryunosuke did not stay long, and the cooling-off period of his ability ended after only one week and three days, and he activated his ability again to come back up.

The only unexpected thing is that there are human-like man-eating monsters in that world, even if they use Rashomon to cut off their heads and shred their bodies, they can't be killed. They regenerate surprisingly fast, and their fighting skills and destructive power are not inferior to Akutagawa's abilities. As for the fact that he was accidentally bitten off a piece of meat while fighting back.

Although it was dragged until daytime, the other party ran away without looking back, and did not encounter this monster again in the following days.

Fortunately, I traveled through time when I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, and it was still this time when I came back.

It was four-thirteen, some time before the siblings were up, just in time for him to attend to the wound on his arm.

"Rashomon."

Calling softly, the black feathers that fell asleep and did not take off turned into a small black cat. The black cat rubbed its head against the face of its owner, and then obeyed the owner's will to open the entrance of the different space.

The young man stretched out his good right hand and probed into the air. Immediately, red ripples appeared in the air, and Akutagawa's slender palm with gun calluses disappeared into the ripples out of thin air. In the different space of Shengmen, he took out the wound medicine that had been quietly prepared, then reached in, and took gauze and bandages out.

The technique of treating the wound is very skilled, because it is not easy to wrap the bandage with one hand, so Akutagawa also asked Rashomon to distribute the cloth blade to help.

After finishing everything, throwing the remaining medicine and bandages back into Rashomon's different space, Akutagawa got off the bed, changed the kimono into a slim black long-sleeved shirt, put on a gray windbreaker, and covered the wound with thick gauze With bandages, long-sleeved shirts and windbreaker triple cover, plus the scent of fabric softener on the clothes just after washing, as long as no one pounces on his arms, there will be basically no flaws.

"... cover up, perfect."

Akutagawa gently laid his hands on the wound, talking to himself.

Even the kimono was wet in advance, and a little blood was accidentally stained after washing it off, and then it was thrown into the washing machine.

"For clothes, just say that you plan to go to the bookstore to buy books later, so that you can explain why you need to change the kimono."

With such a self-contained decision, Akutagawa raised his right index finger and rested it on his chin, with a particularly serious expression-this is something that must not be known to the brothers and sisters: "If there is anything else that I have overlooked... Ah!"

Akutagawa turned his head to look at the three-flowered cat sitting on the bed and staring at him.

Sanhuamao sat gracefully on the spot, with a pair of vertical pupils staring at Akutagawa motionlessly.

Akutagawa: "..."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke walked over, squatted down, and reached out to pat Sanhuamao's head.

Then he was slapped away by Jin Zhisuke's paw.

"Meow-"

The cat was a little serious, its tail wagging irritably, and it kept barking like it was preaching.

"Meow!!"

"Sorry, I will definitely pay attention next time, Jin Zhisuke, can you keep it secret for me?"

Even though cats can't speak at all, Akutagawa still begged so seriously.

Jin Zhizhu can understand people's words, as long as he gets along with him for a long time, he can naturally come to such a conclusion.

Maybe it is an animal with supernatural powers such as intelligence and super brain, and it is not like Akutagawa has never seen such an animal.

Moreover, Kinnosuke is also a family member, because he is used to the smell of cats, and the other party is often elusive, because the cat can't talk, so after a long time, Akutagawa is also used to not avoiding it, so until now, Sanhuamao Kinnosuke is the only one who knows Akutagawa is often injured.

Kinnosuke, who was awakened at four o'clock, looked at Akutagawa's series of behaviors in dealing with the traces, patted the mattress with his paw fiercely, and meowed a series of meows, and Akutagawa Ryunosuke sat obediently on the tatami, looking at himself A three-colored cat with fried hair.

"Sorry, I will definitely pay attention next time."

"Meow!"

"I'm sorry for worrying you."

"Meow meow meow!!"

Rashomon cat also rarely does not stand by Akutagawa's side. Under Kananosuke's serious and preaching appearance, he just mobilized a little windbreaker fabric and nestled it on Akutagawa's shoulders without saying a word.

Rashomon had no way to preach to his little master, it simply couldn't bear it.

But it doesn't want Akutagawa to be injured.

Therefore, at this time, it is necessary to have an existence who can come out to teach.

Rashomon Cat: I am in charge of acting like a spoiled child and being spoiled, and Kanosuke is in charge of correcting the little master's bad habits!Perfect!

In short, after Kinnosuke patted the bed with his paws for a while, Akutagawa Ryunosuke was finally let go.

At [-]:[-], before his younger siblings woke up, Akutagawa went out for a walk, bought breakfast and put it on the table.

Then I went to the kitchen to make coffee, slowly took a newspaper, and sat at the dining table to read it.

Today was the weekend, and Sayaka was going to work part-time at a detective agency, so she got up early, and other members of the Akutagawa family who were already working also got up in a hurry.

"Brother Ryunosuke? You got up really early today."

"Well, I went out to buy breakfast, do you want to eat?"

"Yes! Oh, it's the mantou from Qiweiya, I like this the most!"

"Good morning Ryunosuke!"

"Good morning."

……

Well, no one noticed their wounds.

After finishing the espresso in the cup, Akutagawa finally put down the newspaper and heaved a sigh of relief after the other people who were going to work had gone out.

During this period of time, I have to wear formal clothes, and the kimono is too easy to expose the wound.

Also keep a little distance from other people.

With that in mind, Akutagawa went back to his room.

At noon, the editor Higuchi Ichiyo came to visit, bringing a bunch of homemade snacks, except for Akutagawa himself, the others are for Akutagawa's family members, not even the cat's portion, although he has declined, but this guy still enjoys it .

And I don't know why, after Sayaka, the youngest in the whole family, called sister Higuchi very affectionately, she became excited all over.

Even for a month, the smile seemed to be shining.

In the past, Ichiyo Higuchi took care of the cooking at noon (he didn’t stay to help with dinner). He was obviously just an editor, but he was as busy as the nanny of Akutagawa’s family, and Akutagawa was not the only writer in his hand. Ah, it's not that she has a bad attitude towards other writers. If I have to say, her attitude towards other writers is very fair and responsible, but this level is really dwarfed by the frenzy when facing Akutagawa .

The fanatical Akutagawa Touyui.

If Ichiyo Higuchi finds out that Akutagawa-sensei, who should be safely staying in a warm and comfortable room to write, rest, drink tea, and bask in the sun with a cat in his arms, is injured...

Akutagawa: "..."

Fortunately, it seems that for the Akutagawa Award, Ichiyo Higuchi is currently working hard on the creation and drafting the manuscript with all his strength. In order to get the appreciation of Mr. Akutagawa, the number of visits by the editor Higuchi has plummeted, so you can rest assured.

The homemade snacks are delivered as usual.

To grab a man's heart is to grab a man's stomach——Ichiyo Higuchi, the editor, deeply agrees.

……

Sayaka, who worked part-time, told her brother that Atsushi Nakajima had joined the Armed Detective Agency when she came back from get off work.

"Dun Jun, he is actually quite a brave man."

Sayaka happily told her elder brother what happened today: "Mr. Oda and Mr. Dazai recommended the homeless Atsu-kun to join the detective agency. Don't we have an entrance test? So, Mr. Dazai asked the Tanizaki brothers and sisters to play the role of the bomb demon." and hostages, I want to see how Dun Jun will react to such a situation.”

"Then, under the acting of the seniors of the detective agency, activate the fake bomb. Mr. Dazai said before that this is a powerful bomb that can blow up a building, but if it is covered with something, it can reduce its power. As a result, Dun Jun, who was pushed out, actually held the bomb and covered it with his own body, I was shocked at that time!"

"Stupid." Akutagawa Ryuunosuke commented expressionlessly, "It's useless for him to block a high bomb that can blow up a building with his body."

"That's right." Sayaka smiled: "But courage is commendable."

"Courage?" Akutagawa snorted coldly, his eyelashes drooping slightly, and his dark eyes were rippling: "That's just mindless recklessness, Sayaka."

"Brother Ryunosuke, you should relax your evaluation criteria for Dun-kun a little bit. Although he looks similar to us, in fact... his past experience is still very different."

Sayaka explained gently, she is a bit shy girl, she will only show an optimistic and cheerful look in front of trustworthy people:

"According to Dunjun's ability, this is already a remarkable act."

"Give him a little time to grow up, I don't know why, but I always see the shadow of brother Ryunosuke in Ton-kun, so I am inexplicably confident in him, he will definitely become a great person, just like my brother. "

Akutagawa frowned slightly, as if he couldn't imagine that Sayaka would associate that cowardly boy with himself:

"I'm not as weak as that idiot."

"I mean feeling, feeling." Sayaka was not afraid of the cold face of her brother who had no blood relationship at all. She raised her eyebrows and looked at the young man in front of her with extreme reliance:

"How should I put it? It's really indescribable. By the way, if there is a chance in the future, how will my brother get along with Dun? Let's have a good chat, and we will definitely get along."

Sayaka smiled brightly:

"Speaking of which, the detective agency is really interesting. Next time Ryunosuke brother will come to the detective agency as a guest. I, Oda-san, and Dazai-san will be very happy. Kunikida-san welcomes you too. , because as long as my brother is around, Mr. Dazai will work honestly."

"Dun-kun seems to want to meet you too. Speaking of which, what did my brother say to Dun-kun yesterday? After he knew that I was brother Ryunosuke's sister, he looked a little uneasy."

"I'm just telling the truth."

Ryunosuke Akutagawa seldom contradicts his brothers and sisters in small daily matters. Should it be the connivance of adults or indulgence, or the guilt that they may be left behind at any time in the future and will never come back?In short, if it can be done, Akutagawa Ryunosuke will never refuse the family's request.

Therefore, even if Ryunosuke Akutagawa didn't want to be a guest at the detective agency at all, he still didn't bluntly refuse under Sayaka's expectant gaze, leaving room for maneuver: "As for being a guest, if you have time... let's talk .”

Akutagawa Ryunosuke didn't want to go to the Armed Detective Agency, even if he dropped by to pick up Sayaka, he basically left within a minute, and he absolutely didn't want to stay for a long time.

The reason is that the name of Edogawa Ranpo in the detective agency - a famous detective with foul-like reasoning ability.

All pretense is nothing in his eyes.

[Hey, Akutagawa, are you really okay? 30 years? 50 years?How on earth did you persevere?Isn't it really tiring to keep looking for your teacher?Speaking of which, what does another world look like?Do you have any delicious snacks? ]

It was not long after Sayaka had just worked there. Ryunosuke Akutagawa, who came to pick him up, met a famous detective who came to eat a small cake while waiting in the coffee shop downstairs.

Because of the popularity of the names Dazai, Odasaku, Sayaka, and Akutagawa Ryunosuke, there may be a side that Akutagawa didn't remember for a long time, and met Edogawa Ranpo many years ago.

Anyway, at that time, Luanbu came over and sat across from Akutagawa.

At first it was just chatting, but later when it came to work, Luanbu happily took out his glasses and put them on the bridge of his nose, wanting to show his powerful reasoning ability to the young man in front of him.

Then, the secret that Akutagawa had been hiding for a long time was revealed directly.

Ranpo claims to have the ability called [Super Reasoning], but Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who doesn't know the actual situation, believes it to be true.

The young man with a sensitive heart like a cat almost wanted to blow up.

[Eh?Is it confidential?Is this also something that cannot be said?Well well, since you asked so...]

Edogawa Ranpo agreed at the time, and judging from the performance of Sayaka, who often went to work, the other party did not say anything.

Can't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but Akutagawa is no longer willing to face Ranpo.

...This is obviously something that even the family members have not noticed.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke put his hand on the wound——As the number of time travels increased, the occasional fine wounds also increased, and Akutagawa didn't want to see that detective more and more.

... The hidden secret was uncovered, and not everyone is willing to accept this fact.

Especially since this is something that must never be made public.

The author has something to say: It seems that the readers who skipped the JO chapter have not explained that Jiejia has three more abilities in the JO chapter, and currently only two can be used.

1. It can actively trigger travel, but the worlds traversed are all random.

2. The different space of Rashomon, simply understood as Shining Wangcai (but the entrance is fixed, it cannot be projected, it can only be reached by hand, and the entrance can only be opened near the Rashomon), which was previously swallowed by Rashomon Everything in it is inside (including letters, Mr. R’s things, and corpses, but they were all thrown out in the JO chapter. Mustard put a bunch of gun bullets, medicines and books in it), Mustard can control Luo Sheng The door leaves the body, stays outside, enters a different space by itself, and moves through the Rashomon cat's sight control ability.

In addition, there is no such thing as the passage of time in a different space. For example, no matter how long you put freshly cooked food in, the temperature will not deteriorate, and a dying person will remain in a near-death state if you throw it in. The wound will not heal or not. will get worse.

3. Backtracking, mustard has not been used yet, the role of [Future Akutagawa] is mentioned in the JO chapter, explanation + use in the tutoring chapter.

PS After the DA incident, don’t ask, don’t rush, Gugu, I didn’t save the manuscript, and I typed it by hand every day, so I’m not sure which chapter can change the world.
