Yokohama Cuisine Event Book

After drawing preliminary conclusions, Gancha and Ranpo quickly divided each other's responsibilities.

Ranpo is responsible for staying in the stronghold, paying attention to Fukuji Sakurachi's movements, and finding out the hiding place of the vampire prince; while Gancha is going to Europe, negotiating with the supernatural agency there, and bringing Dazai out of Meursault.

Early the next morning, Kamcha embarked on the road to Europe with Oda Sakunosuke.

Since they are still wanted on their bodies, the itinerary is also relatively special.

First, take the mafia's smuggling boat to an island in the high seas of the Pacific Ocean, and then take a private plane arranged by Yuanyue to fly to France, where the headquarters of the European Intelligence Agency is located.

As soon as it landed, members of the WGO who were waiting nearby gathered around to greet her.

Upon closer inspection, the leader was actually Miss An, the first-class executive who had met twice, and also a confidant of Nagiri Magi.

With the arrangement of WGO, the two were able to move freely at the destination.

As the highest gourmet institution in the world, WGO has a wide network of contacts, especially among the so-called upper class.

After all, no one can cut off diet, and few people can refuse the temptation of real food.

Nagiri Nakiri herself even had a good personal relationship with the Countess Agatha Christie who served in the clock tower.When she asked for help, she also asked her if she needed to help connect.

But Gancha had no intention of asking Yuanyue to endorse her on this matter. Similarly, she also tactfully declined the help from the Atobe Consortium, which also had a strong influence in the UK.

In addition to not wanting her friends who support her to get too deeply involved in the battle of supernatural beings, there is another point - she doesn't think that the baroness who covets the "book" will be a good conversation object.

And she already has a goal.

The scale of the victims of supernatural infection is expanding rapidly, and it takes a lot of time on the road, let alone delay after arriving.

Three hours after arriving, she met the general code-named "Da Zuo" from the Intelligence Bureau.

That was when she learned that there was a gun used by Mimic in her collection, and contacted the government search headquarters, the former commander of Gide and others.

"The living always think and entrust too much to the dead. I can understand your desire to avenge their grievances and avenge their deaths."

In the closed dark room, Gancha sat with a straight back at the other end of the square table, with Oda Sakunosuke with a calm face beside him.

A dignitary from an old European supernatural agency sat majestically across from him.

They clearly need the assistance of the other party, and their status is completely unequal. Under the current situation, they are even the difference between the hunter and the prey, but the young girl still looks at the other party with scrutiny without fear.

"But, with all due respect, their tragedies are not due to those who gave them death, but to the order which made them lose their heroic name in the first place."

The girl asked sharply, "What were you doing at that time?"

Gide and his subordinates were stigmatized and expelled after receiving selfish orders from the upper echelons of the military.

The old and vigorous general waved his hand to stop the guards who drew their guns, and Odasaku on the other side also put away his guns.

The gray-haired old man stared at her for a long time, showing a bitter expression, as if he had aged in an instant.

"I was just wounded on the battlefield and left in a coma for two days."

He said in a tone of restrained emotion, "After waking up, the most important subordinate has become a criminal of the country, and I can't act easily after that—but you are right."

If he could find them in time later, Gide and the others wouldn't be in exile.

"Their records were erased by the state afterwards. It has become impossible to clear their names."

There was a cold light in the old man's cloudy eyes,

"But even so, I have dealt with those who falsely passed on the order over the years."

He raised his eyes and looked at the girl who was neither humble nor overbearing, as if he wanted to see through the truth in her heart, and asked, "Then it's your turn. How did you interact with them when you were only 14 years old?"

Gan Cha's movements paused.

After confirming that the other party really missed her former subordinates, she sighed softly, concealed Mori Ogai's plan to obtain a license to open a business with abilities, and explained to him the situation back then.

It is not difficult to conceal part of the facts, because although time has not erased everything, the Supernatural Secret Service Division has done it.

She wanted to comfort the old man who was tortured by guilt a little bit, but she didn't want to destroy the tranquility established by the three-moment concept in Yokohama.

The weight of everyone's hard work and the lives lost in the conspiracy did not allow her to tell the whole truth.

"At that time, we were the ones who collected the corpses for them."

Gancha said,

"You may know the supernatural powers of me and Mr. Oda Saku by now. Mr. Gide and his subordinates heard some rumors of precognitive supernatural powers back then, so they went to Yokohama, hoping to be able to do so in the best place." The real fight and death is in the hands of the opponent."

"And he now has real peace."

She recalled the man who brought her the shadow of death back then.

Strangely, from the beginning to the end, she was never angry because the other party threatened her life.

Perhaps it was because the figure of the other party walking toward death was almost like rushing to a sweet dream.

She suppressed the emotions in her heart, and smiled at the old man in front of her: "The gray ghost, after being found, is it in your hands now?"

"This gun was once held against my forehead, and I have also seen Mr. Gide's past, and you who took good care of him."

She said softly, "If it can bring you some comfort, then you can stay."

——It sounds nice.

Even with a heavy heart, Colonel couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

What a cunning little girl.

"Do you have the conditions?"

He relaxed his posture a little, and motioned for her to clarify her intention in the future, "Tell me, do you want me to intercede for your detective agency, or do you want to cancel the arrest?"

Hearing his understatement, Gan Cha laughed.

——Sure enough, I found the right person.

"None of that. We'll wipe the smudges off our reputation ourselves."

She spoke softly and said very gently, "It's just that we have an important companion who is currently being imprisoned in Meursault. I hope that the European side can show their hands and let him return to us early."

……in advance.

Da Zuo thought about the girl's words, and couldn't help feeling more interesting.

Is it the confidence that the detective agency will clear the charge?Or are there other reasons?

Gan Cha replied with a natural sweet smile.

Of course the detective agency will restore its reputation, and of course Mr. Dazai will return to everyone, but she doesn't just mean that.

The timing of their trip to Europe was perfect.

After talking with Ranpo that day, she received a message from Mr. Sakaguchi, saying that Dazai had discovered Majin's external contact information.

If it is reported, it can also be regarded as a crime of merit - although such credit is not enough to offset the past crimes that landed him in prison, but if someone is active outside, it will be different.

In short, the matter of Dazai leaving Meursault was quickly decided.

With the help of the Ability Intelligence Bureau, Gan Cha went through many procedures the next day.

She did not enter Meursault, and the location of the prison was still kept secret, and she had no intention of looking for it, but after the necessary procedures were completed, she and Sakunosuke Oda rushed to the agreed meeting place.

In the winter of December, the clouds in the sky were very thick, and it was difficult for the sun to penetrate, leaving only a gray, somewhat dim white light behind, and the weather was slightly gloomy and cold.

When the cold gust blows, the dead leaves that fall on the roadside swirl, stumble across the uneven stone road, stumble forward all the way, and finally stop at someone's feet.

It was Dazai walking towards them with a smile under the watchful eye and escort of two guards.

Rather than being accompanied, it is more appropriate to say follow—the two are looking at the person walking in front with the look of looking up at a visitor from another dimension, with a somewhat apprehensive but very convinced expression.

It seems that even among Meursault, Mr. Dazai is still a headache as always, Gancha couldn't help laughing secretly.

But Dazai didn't care about the reaction of the people behind him.

He saw the two people standing there waiting from a distance, and a shaking light fell into his eyes for an instant.

The tall man with copper-colored hair stood behind, looking in his direction with his usual calm eyes.

And the petite girl in front of her was wrapped in a thick coat, as if remembering something funny, she pursed her lips and showed a cute little smile.

This is really a high standard of reception.

A sincere smile flashed on the young man's lips, but his thoughts drifted away for a moment.

——Ango told him the latest news, that Mr. Suehiro has now left the Hound and stood with everyone in the detective agency.So he probably understood what happened.

Is he so relieved?Instead of following him, let Ganchajiang and Oda Saku pick him up alone?

However, this was a happy reunion moment, and he quickly suppressed this unpleasant association. He walked up to the two of them and stood still, listening to the girl's "Welcome back" words with a smile.

Gan Cha looked him up and down carefully, but didn't find anything wrong, so he just handed him the bag in his hand.

"Mr. Dazai's clothes are too thin."

She knew it would be like this, "I brought you a coat, it's still cold outside, put it on first."

"Only Gancha Jiang is so afraid of the cold."

Even so, Dazai took the bag cooperatively and took out the light gray coat inside.

The coat is just the right size and the texture is warm and comfortable.It's just that there seems to be something in the pocket, judging from the bulging shape, it seems to be a round object.

Dazai lowered his eyelashes, a little guessing in his heart.

——It should be the bow tie he gave to Akutagawa earlier, right?

Indeed, she doesn't need it now, and it's not appropriate to keep it with her.However, did you choose to return it to him in such a way?

...but he would have done the same.As long as you pretend nothing happened, everything will be as it was.

With some complicated emotions, Dazai reached out his hand to confirm, but unexpectedly felt a touch completely different from what he expected.

It wasn't the smooth surface of a gemstone, or the satin of a bow tie, but—wrapped in what, tinfoil?

He took out the contents of his pocket suspiciously.

——The prediction failed, it was just a delicately packaged chocolate.

The girl next to him had been watching his expression in silence. Seeing him in a daze at this moment, she finally showed a satisfied smile like a successful prank.

"Mr. Dazai."

She took two steps forward, looked back and smiled, and said softly, "Come with me for a walk over there?"
