Miss Akutagawa is in a complicated mood

The Yokohama editorial office welcomes that gentle teacher again after many years.

The editor-in-chief also got a few wrinkles in the corners of his eyes. Time has never been kind to anyone.When the editor-in-chief saw that it was Ms. Akutagawa, he showed a smile of meeting an old friend, "Mr. Akutagawa, long time no see, how are you doing after so many years?"

"TOEFL, it's okay." Ms. Akutagawa exchanged pleasantries with Mr. Editor-in-Chief.

The editor-in-chief asked, "What's wrong with Mr. Akutagawa coming here this time?"

"Submission, of course." Miss Akutagawa took out a new story, "I'm going to start writing a novel."

The editor-in-chief understood what Ms. Akutagawa meant, "Then, would Ms. Akutagawa continue to publish in our editorial office?"

"Naturally." Miss Akutagawa nodded slightly.

After talking about the manuscript, the editor-in-chief also chatted about personal matters, "Ms. Akutagawa, have you seen my ghost's "Water of the Great River"?"

Ms. Akutagawa's eyes were full of relief, "Ryunosuke is also growing up, he will be even better."

"By the way, Akutagawa-sensei, although it may be presumptuous, when did you return to Yokohama?"

"I just came back the day before yesterday." I can't talk about the alchemy, so naturally I can only accept the character design who has left Yokohama or even Japan for many years.

"Then you haven't gone back to see those three children, have you?" Mr. Editor-in-Chief tried to remind Ms. Akutagawa that since she is back, she should go back and visit those three children. After all, he has helped those three children whenever he can. It also got deeper.

"Not yet. Mr. Okubo, please send them a letter for me."

The editor-in-chief also noticed Miss Akutagawa's difficulties, so he took out a piece of paper and a pen in understanding, "I will give them the letter."

Miss Akutagawa held the pen, and the tip of the pen touched the paper, before the ink was smeared, Miss Akutagawa picked it up again, not knowing what to write.

So I thought about it, and told Akutagawa Ryunosuke and Kawabata Yasunari about the college entrance examination in detail, as well as about Akutagawa Yin.

[I am currently living in the house of Mr. Zhongye. I will not go back until my mission is over. I am worried that I will disturb your studies because of my presence.I heard from Nakaya-kun that Ryunosuke joined the port Mafia?I don't mean to blame Ryunosuke. If this is a decision made by Ryunosuke after careful consideration, I will support it. However, I still hope that Ryunosuke can pay more attention to his studies. 】

After Ms. Akutagawa finished writing, she folded the papers, and the editor-in-chief took out an envelope for her and put it in, "I will trouble Mr. Okubo."

The editor-in-chief waved his hands repeatedly, "No trouble, no trouble, Mr. Akutagawa and I, Mr. Ghost, are people who the editorial department should take good care of. Speaking of which, Miss Akutagawa doesn't need to pay the manuscript fee in advance this time?"

Ms. Akutagawa chuckled, "Not for the time being, but I still hope to find another job first. If there is a suitable place to recruit temporary workers, please be sure to keep an eye out for me."

"Then what kind of work does Akutagawa-sensei want to do?"

"Well... I was an English teacher before I went down."

"I understand." The editor-in-chief nodded, "I will help Mr. Akutagawa pay attention."

Ms. Akutagawa chatted with the editor-in-chief for a while, and then left the editorial office and walked back.

Compared with the previous situation, the current Yokohama has changed a lot. Both the economy and other aspects have recovered very well.

Walking and walking, I came to the park I visited before. Time has caused the park to decline. The chain supporting the swing is also stained with a little rust. It has not been repaired, but it still looks usable, and the shrubs are not pruned. In time, it appears jagged.

Sitting on the stone chair, Miss Akutagawa sighed softly.

"Are you sighing?" A voice suddenly came from beside him, "So, do you need to watch my performance? As an artist, I have to take care of the audience's emotions occasionally."

The person who appeared suddenly was wearing a white bowler hat and a white suit, a cloak with a blue-black plaid inside and a brown-black outside, a half-butterfly brooch at the neckline, as a point, and a silver chain around the shoulders .

He bent down like a gentleman, and he could see the shirt and tie that had not been turned over because of his personal preference, the shirt and tie in a single tone of blue, and the half-butterfly brooch that was more delicate because it was clearer.

Miss Akutagawa curled her lips, "Edogawa-kun, long time no see."

The person who came was [Edogawa Ranpo].

"Ah, because Mr. Kikuchi and Mr. Kume have other arrangements, so I arranged it next. Please don't mind, Akutagawa-sensei." [Edogawa Ranpo] made a movement, and a letter suddenly appeared in his hand Letter, "This is a gift."

"Has Edogawa-kun's performance improved again?" Akutagawa-san leaned against the back of the stone chair behind her, smiling relaxedly.

[Edogawa Ranpo] pondered for a while, "Well, it's better to say that I'm starting to think of a new trick again."

He did the more exaggerated etiquette he would perform on stage, and then handed the letter to Ms. Akutagawa, "Why don't you read it first? I'll tell you something else after reading it."

"I see." The letter was not sealed, presumably for easier reading.

[Mr. Akutagawa thanks

It's been over a month since you went on this strange quest!But you haven't come back yet, and I'm really worried.Now that I know that Edogawa-san is going to find you, I specially wrote this letter and ask him to bring it to you!

……

I really can't bear the days without you in the library, this kind of life is too tormented!I don't know when you will come back, but Miss Secretary refused to say!When I think of this, I feel very painful, and there is no happiness at all.I don't know how long this kind of life will last, why is it not me who will help you!I have so many things I want to share with Akutagawa-sensei, I can't write a letter.

[…]

There were [-] pages of letter paper, the last page was apparently snatched by someone, in order to stop him from continuing to write.Ms. Akutagawa laughed, "Edogawa-kun, thank you for your hard work." She could think of what it was like when [Osamu Dazai] was writing the letter, and the more she thought about it, the more she couldn't help laughing.

【Edogawa Ranpo】Shaking his head helplessly, "Fortunately, he didn't ask me to bring him, it's just a letter. What did Dazai write?"

"It's all happened in some libraries some time ago." Ms. Akutagawa folded the letter paper, "Miyazawa-kun got hurt a little this time, has Mr. Zhongyuan been taking care of him?"

[Edogawa Ranpo] Suddenly realized what was going on, and laughed hahaha, "It's not a problem at all, the two of them have tossed everyone in the library in, and now Miyazawa sees Zhongyuan couldn't bear to run to the secretary."

Ms. Akutagawa regretted not being able to participate, "I am also a little curious."

"Maybe there will be more in the future, don't worry." [Edogawa Ranpo] comforted her, "An interesting performance will always be performed many times with the same purpose."

"But if that's the case, it's nothing new. Didn't Edogawa-kun always say that before?" Miss Akutagawa said.

[Edogawa Ranpo] Pretending to sigh, "But there are audiences who haven't seen it, so it's still possible to tour once."

"Then thank you very much Edogawa-kun." Miss Akutagawa smiled, "Now it's time to talk about another thing."

"Of course." [Edogawa Ranpo] also sat down, "The secretary said that the invaders have started to move here." The readers provided good nourishment and a hotbed, giving them more powerful power to kill literary giants and completely destroy books.

"Of course, the city of Yokohama has the most writers. Mr. Shiga should have told you that he abandoned literature and joined various armed groups. Therefore, there is a high probability that the invaders will land in Yokohama first. Well, this is also beneficial. You don't need to run around."

Ms. Akutagawa: "It's true, but Yokohama is really a city full of disasters." That beautiful coastal port city had to endure natural disasters and too many man-made disasters, and she felt distressed .

However, even the Lupin Bar, the meeting point of the rogue faction, was moved to Yokohama, with the intention of using Yokohama as their base camp.This world really gave her too many surprises, and she couldn't hold on.

"It is true that there are many disasters, but the chaos under its tranquility also gives us a chance to settle down quietly." [Edogawa Ranpo] sees it most clearly, the secretary chooses here, or even chooses The reason for Yokohama, "When I have time, how about Akutagawa-sensei taking me to visit Yokohama?"

"What about the Corruptor?"

[Edogawa Ranpo] took out another thing, Miss Akutagawa looked at the blue gemstone inlaid on the gear, "The next gear?"

[Edogawa Ranpo] nodded, "The Secretary has applied an alchemy formula to you, so once the corroder appears, you will feel it and know the general location."

Miss Akutagawa took her gear, "Where's Shiga-sensei?"

[Edogawa Ranpo] Compared three, "This is the third thing, Shiga-san asked me to give you his gear."

"what?!"

"He was assigned a task by the secretary just like you, so he is doing other things now, um... I don't know if he told you, but he just asked me to hand over the gear to you when I came to find you."

Miss Akutagawa carefully put away another gear inlaid with peridot in [Edogawa Ranpo], "I understand."
