Luo Shengmeng has no feelings today

The next day.

Armed Detective Agency.

"Eh? Brother Ryunosuke lost his temper with you?"

Sayaka, a girl with light purple shoulder-length hair, looked at Atsushi Nakajima in surprise.

"This really scared me, no wonder you looked weird after you learned my surname yesterday, what did you do? In my impression, brother Ryunosuke rarely has emotions towards strangers— —Whether it's joy or anger, the most common situation is to communicate politely and then end the conversation calmly, ah, unless you approach our family with murderous intent, if that's the case, brother Ryunosuke will run away without saying a word."

Atsushi Nakajima, who just joined the detective agency yesterday, was sitting on the sofa a little disconcerted.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke, this is the name of the young man who kindly gave him snacks and taught him how to live by the river the day before yesterday, but scolded him the same night.This was only learned yesterday when Dun cautiously asked Osamu Dazai who came to pick him up.

He was stunned on the spot.

After all, even Atsushi Nakajima, who was born in an orphanage, felt deafened by this name.

——The rare great writer in a hundred years, "ghost" Akutagawa Ryunosuke.

The news of the other party was broadcast on the TV in the cafeteria. Countless big shots mentioned his existence, and the library of the orphanage also had a collection of his works. Although he had never seen his face, at least he knew that he was a famous person.

Atsushi Nakajima has also read each other's works.

Because most of them are short stories, they can be read quickly. In the extremely rare free time, Dun, who is isolated and has no friends, can quietly hide in a corner to pass the time, reading slowly. Text.

——Gorgeous and gentle, sensitive and cruel.

People in the world have different evaluations of the ghostly genius Akutagawa Ryunosuke, but most of them think that Mr. Akutagawa is a keen interpreter of human nature. The unique style of writing composed of extremely gorgeous writing art makes the plot as vivid as a picture. Engraved in the reader's mind.

Few of Ryunosuke Akutagawa's characters are lovable.

Satire is intertwined in various themes, and it is a metaphor for the covered and dark bottom of society under the peaceful and bright society.

This is one of the characteristics of Akutagawa-style literature.

However, few people would think that the literary giant Akutagawa Ryunosuke has personally experienced the social underclasses described in his articles.

After all, this is just fiction.

A novel is just a medium that combines historical data, performs artistic processing through the author's thinking, and then expresses the author's own thoughts, intentions, and viewpoints.

The writers of science fiction films are not necessarily scientists, and the directors of war films are not necessarily experienced in the battlefield.

The readers of Akutagawa Ryunosuke have various identities, and the reasons for liking Akutagawa's works are also different.

Among the various evaluations and praises, Atsushi Nakajima's reasons for indulging in it are a little strange.

It is not to praise the writing, nor to praise the profound connotation of the story.

Dun just simply thought:

"Has Mr. Akutagawa experienced this too?"

"...such a day that you have to do your best to survive."

There was no reason, Atsushi Nakajima, who was still in the orphanage when he was young, thought so.

While almost everyone regards the story described by Akutagawa as a masterpiece formed by combining history and art, coupled with human interpretation, Atsushi Nakajima believes that this is a world that the author named Akutagawa has seen and experienced personally.

——To survive by whatever means, to sacrifice others for the benefit without hesitation, to be prejudiced and discriminated against is normal, to be hungry and full, to worry about tomorrow's food every day, to force oneself to continue to struggle even when sick, A despicable life like a wild dog.

No one would associate such a thing with Ryunosuke Akutagawa.

After all, how can the people at the bottom have such erudite knowledge?How can you write such gorgeous words?

How can we cultivate a writer like Akutagawa who is young, gentle, and has an amazing temperament?

If Dun speaks out his thoughts, he may be ridiculed a lot.

Fortunately, Atsushi Nakajima did not have any friends at that time.

Therefore, his thoughts were just hidden deep in his heart, and he spent the rest of his days with a sense of peace of mind as if he had found his kind.

Until now——I was kicked out of the orphanage, met Mr. Akutagawa, annoyed Mr. Akutagawa, and then found out that the tiger I was afraid of was actually my own supernatural power. I only learned of Mr. Akutagawa's identity after a day, and finally joined the Armed Detective Agency .

...I only recognized Mr. Akutagawa so late, and I seem to have left a bad impression.

It's not a good feeling to be hated by such a big celebrity.

Especially writers who once made themselves feel the same way and had a similar feeling.

Atsushi Nakajima hung his head in frustration.

"Why, why are you angry?"

Dun muttered in bewilderment, and then, under the curious inquiry of Sayexiang, he took the time to tell what happened that night.

[You cowardly and stupid guy who can't see everything...! ]

"'Everything'...what exactly do you mean?" Atsushi Nakajima didn't understand, but he didn't think that Mr. Akutagawa was talking nonsense, so he pondered for a long time: "Obviously... I have nothing."

Nakajima Atsushi, a simple and well-behaved newcomer to the detective agency, is currently feeling uneasy.

Sayexiang finally knew what her elder brother was not used to.

The purple-haired girl with drooping shoulders couldn't help but covered her mouth and let out a chuckle. Under Dun's confused expression, she straightened her skirt and sat beside Dun.

"I heard that Dunjun still can't control supernatural powers?"

"Eh? Hmm."

"So that's how it is, our brother Ryunosuke... He actually really hates the weak."

Sayaka said gently: "Ah, but this does not mean that my brother is a cold-blooded person. Rather, it is the opposite. Our brother Ryunosuke is very gentle."

"Although I hate weak existences, brother Ryunosuke still chose to protect us, do you know? There are ten people in our family, a big and amazing family, right? But except that brother Ryunosuke and elder sister Yin are brothers and sisters , Everyone else is actually not related by blood, we were just lucky to be Ryunosuke's companions, and then we were accepted."

"Also, compared to Brother Ryunosuke, those of us who don't have superpowers are all considered weak, so it's strange, right?"

Sayaka raised her eyebrows, her smile was full of happiness: "Brother Ryunosuke, who hates the weak, has protected such a large group of weak people."

She remembers her childhood in the slums.

She was the youngest and weakest, and she couldn't find food or shelter alone. If she didn't have the protection of Akutagawa Ryunosuke, she would have died early.

Therefore, Sayaka respects and loves her brother who is not related by blood but brings her a happy life now.

"He actually cares about his family very much, not only us, but also Rashomon."

"Rashomon is... the title of Mr. Akutagawa's work?" Atsushi was completely attracted by what Sayaka said, and he slightly opened his purple-gold eyes.

"No, the Rashomon I'm talking about is the name of brother Ryunosuke's supernatural power, ah, although it's also the title of my brother's article, but I'm not talking about that... brother Ryunosuke's superpower Rasho Although the door looks a bit fierce when fighting, it is actually a very cute and coquettish ability."

Sayexiang gestured with great interest: "Recently, I have learned to look like a cat. It's so soft and cute."

"Rashomon has self-awareness. Brother Ryunosuke survived under the protection of Rashomon when he was a child. My brother dotes on it very much. He has long regarded Rashomon as a family member. My brother told us that supernatural powers are The embodiment of your own soul, so Ryunosuke brother will be angry at you who are also protected by the supernatural power, but are weak and unable to control the supernatural power, and even fear and deny the supernatural power that exists as a half-body."

"Rashomon is a gift from the heavens, companions and family members who have always been by my side and will never leave--that's what Ryunosuke brother said, Don-kun, don't reject your superpowers, that's also You yourself, if you don't take the initiative to accept the supernatural power, the supernatural power will not accept you."

Atsushi Nakajima stared blankly at Sayaka.

all things.

My [Moonbeast]...is it always by my side like Mr. Akutagawa's Rashomon?

As companions and family members who will never leave.

Be there for him as he curls up in the brig of the orphanage.

Ahhh.

Atsushi Nakajima touched his chest.

It is clearly a ferocious beast, but if you use such words to describe it, it seems to warm people up.

"Dun Jun's experience is actually a little bit similar to ours, even I can sense it, so brother actually thinks so." Although Sayaka said this yesterday, he denied it without hesitation.

similar!

Atsushi, who used to find the same sense of security in the orphanage by relying on Mr. Akutagawa's literature, couldn't help but light up his eyes, "Sure enough, most of the novels written by Mr. Akutagawa are actually scenes that he has seen!"

"Such a life where I struggled so hard to live...!"

The same kind...everyone wants to have.

Sayaka: "Well, for example, you have to eat the food as soon as you get it, or you will be snatched away."

Dun: "Obviously I didn't do it myself, but I would be framed and hit with pokers."

Sayaka: "Winter is very difficult. Occasionally when I wake up, someone will freeze to death next to me."

Dun: "If you are sick, you have to endure it by yourself, and you even have to be locked up to avoid contagion."

……

"Is this some kind of tragic experience club?"

The more he listened, the more terrifying Kunikida Doppo looked at the boy and girl sitting in the corner without a word.

Sayaka Akutagawa was born in a slum, and so was her family, including Ryunosuke Akutagawa. Basically everyone in the detective agency knew about this.

Because Sayaka doesn't think there is anything to hide, her abnormal fighting ability and investigative ability trained in her childhood will of course attract the attention of everyone in the detective agency. Anyway, everyone is a good person and will not have any discrimination. Publicity, so Sayaka told a part of the past when they casually asked why.

Therefore, they admired Ryunosuke Akutagawa even more, who had grown up with a large group of slum children and even raised them so well, even himself.

This is simply a super inspirational example that can be passed down for a hundred years and record history.

……

At last.

"I know, I will definitely work hard to communicate with the moon beast!" Atsushi Nakajima clenched his fists full of fighting spirit, "I will work hard to master the supernatural power, and then become stronger, and thank Mr. Akutagawa!"

Thanks to Mr. Akutagawa for the snacks he gave me when I met him by the river, and for not teaching me when he foolishly went to rob.

Thanks to Mr. Akutagawa for his literary works, which gave him some spiritual support in the gloomy life in the orphanage.

He will definitely work hard.

Sayaka Akutagawa cheered him up.

……

"Is it really okay?"

Oda Sakunosuke looked hesitantly at Dazai who was drafting a novel next to him with a pen in hand: "Maybe Atsushi doesn't know that Akutagawa's abilities are special, not all abilities have self-awareness."

"no problem, no problem."

Dazai didn't lift his head.

"Since Akutagawa-sensei would say that, it means that he can be sure that Atsushi-kun's supernatural ability is more or less conscious."

"For example, when fighting the tiger that night, Akutagawa-sensei may not be able to tell what he saw through the eyes of the area-designated disaster."

The black-haired, kite-eyed man nodded his eye corners as if stretching out his hand, looking as handsome and gentle as a nobleman:

"After all, Akutagawa-sensei's supernatural ability is such a special existence. It is not surprising that Akutagawa-sensei can tell the difference when he gets along with such supernatural abilities every day."

"So that's how it is." Oda Saku suddenly realized: "That's really great, I can make up my mind to get along well with the supernatural power."

Dazai: "But having said that, Sayaka really likes Akutagawa-sensei very much."

Oda Tsukuru: "After all, he is the person who brings himself a happy life. It is really amazing. He is not very old, but he is so reliable. He has pulled all his companions out of places like slums, not to mention living a good life. A peaceful and prosperous life."

"In other words, Mr. Akutagawa Ryunosuke saved Sayaka and the others, right?"

"Well, is that so?"

Osamu Dazai tilted his head, his kite-colored eyes stared in the direction of Sayaka and Atsushi, and after a while, he muttered softly:

"It's great, Akutagawa-sensei is mature and reliable, and can save so many people."

"but……"

The black-haired, kite-eyed man crossed his hands and propped his chin, his eyes were calm, and his tone was soft and soft, almost no one heard:

"...Who can save Akutagawa-sensei?"

Rub it.

Edogawa Ranpo, who happened to be passing by, tore open the pocky package without saying a word, took out a chocolate bar from inside, squinted his eyes and bit it in his mouth.There was a crisp sound.
