About my marriage to a slime

"It's time to settle things today, Ah Shi. Also, please don't be merciful, Your Excellency Fukuzawa."

Mr. Mori said words with unknown meaning, and the expression on his face was an indifference that he had never seen before in Kienuma. What made Kienuma even more incomprehensible was the members of the Armed Detective Agency, who had never met before, gathered in the room Staring at her with a vigilant and vigilant gaze, this kind of gaze was never touched by Qingmao, and she felt frightened for no reason.

Why do you look at her like that?

Did she do something wrong?

Kienuma tightened the hand supporting his elder brother Fukuzawa Yukichi in a daze and timidly, and said helplessly, "Wh...what's the end?"

"Because you did something bad, Ah Shi." Mr. Mori said helplessly in his usual gentle tone, "You are not a good boy now."

"Bad thing?... I don't understand what you're talking about." Qingmao pursed her lips, her face was pale after being frightened, her brain was noisy, and she couldn't sort out the situation she was in at the moment.

"First of all, the terrible weather in Yokohama recently." Mr. Mori was indifferent to the panic in Kiyonuma, and he slowly analyzed the so-called bad things, "Then the residents who kept falling ill, the hardest hit area is the shopping street, all the residents here They were all found to be terminally ill, and no one was spared, ah, of course, there were some, and the Mikami family was not on the list."

"You... what did you say?!" Kiyoshi's eyes widened in shock, she pursed her lips, and said, "Please don't make such a joke, Mr. Mori..."

"Ah Shi doesn't seem to know at all, that's right, after all, you forgot everything." Mr. Sen sighed, his face also turned sickly pale, he looked down at his watch and said, "It's almost time , the key person to unravel the mystery is about to arrive."

Following Mr. Mori's words, there was a knock on the door outside the Armed Detective Agency, and the young Atsushi Nakajima went to open the door, followed by the indifferent voice of the young man.

"The pay for me to come to the door in person is very high."

This voice is... Ayatsuji-sensei...

Why would Ayatsuji-sensei...

Qing Nushi's expression was stiff and his mind was in a state of confusion. It turned out that the person who came was the detective Ayatsuji-sensei. The cold-faced Ayatsuji-sensei walked up to her and stared at her for a long time. Can't stop, Qingmao time."

The young man's icy ridicule was particularly harsh. It feels so bad to be the target of public criticism for no reason. Qingzhang Shi's heart was suffocated, and a stubbornness that was driven to a desperate situation rose for no reason. She gritted her teeth and said without hesitation: "I I don't understand what you're trying to say, I didn't do anything bad, I just came..."

"Good people don't deserve to be hurt."

Ayatsuji pedestrian interrupted Kienuma Toki's defense, saying, "This is the reason why I accepted the commission in the first place."

"...good people shouldn't be hurt?"

thump.

The sudden heartbeat was like a stone being thrown into the lake, and the calm lake water was disturbed. When she cleared the marsh, she felt a chill rising from her feet. She repeated the sentence that good people should not be hurt, and gradually appeared on her face. Mixed with the color of confusion and trance.

Good people don't deserve to be hurt...

The reason for entrusting...

Ayatsuji-sensei in the end...

"As for the commissioned content..."

When Ayatsuji pedestrian ignored the confused Kienuma, his eyes slid past her face, and he said indifferently: "The content of the commission is to find the criminal who killed Mikami Satoru."

"Please wait!"

Kiyonuma let out a shrill cry the moment detective Ayatsuji pedestrian said the commission, she was breathing rapidly, her complexion turned pale.

"Wait a minute... Awu, he still...he still..." Kiyonuma trembled and moved his lips, his whole body was trembling violently, as if he couldn't accept the absurd truth that the detective said.

"You want to say that he is still alive?" Ayatsuji pedestrian said indifferently, "Don't deceive yourself, Mikami Satoru is dead."

"Impossible! Ah Wu is still alive!!"

Shouting hysterically, she tremblingly put her hand into the pocket of the cotton-padded jacket, held the magic mirror in the pocket, and her fingertips touched the micron-sized traces on the surface of the magic mirror, as if she had grasped the life-saving Gradually regained his composure.

"If it's a joke, it's going too far, Mr. Ayatsuji." Kiyonuma stared at the indifferent detective and said, "You said that you accepted the commission at the beginning, and it should be some time since now, but I just did it this morning. Say goodbye to Ah Wu, since he is alive, how can there be a prisoner who killed him?"

"Do you still want to continue the game of deceiving yourself? It doesn't matter to me whether the person you saw this morning is Mikami Satoru." Ayatsuji pedestrian narrowed his eyes slightly, and his words became more and more stern, "You have to recognize a fact now In Qingmao, Mikami Satoru was killed a month ago."

"Recognize the facts? How do you want me to recognize the facts?" Qingnuma's eyes were stained with anger, and she stubbornly denied the truth told by the detective, "Awu is still alive, how do you want me to accept him for a month?" The ridiculous lie that he was killed before?"

"Time."

A hoarse cry sounded in her ear, and when she cleared the marsh, she lowered her head, and saw the man she was supporting was struggling to raise his head to look at her. The man's face was slightly tired due to illness, but his eyes were still sharp and majestic. He only listened to him. Intermittently said: "Wu... he is indeed... dead..."

The man struggled to speak because of the illness, but he spoke every word so seriously, there was no joke at all. When Qingnuma looked at the man, he murmured: "But... Awu, he clearly ..."

He is obviously... still alive...

Mikami Goku is still alive...

"Tsk, it's really troublesome, let me start from the beginning." Ayatsuji pedestrian impatiently took out a cigarette, thought for a while and stuffed it back into his coat pocket. He moved his lips and said, "December 12 at 5 p.m. At 15:40, Satoru Mikami met with the company’s younger generation Tamura on the commercial street in Yamashita Town, Naka-ku. On the road, he accidentally ran into a mentally disturbed murderer and was killed. At 12:6 am on December 9, I received The phone number of the wife of the victim Mikami Satoru, Mikami Toki, who entrusted me as a client to find the murderer who fled in fear of crime. At 20:12 pm on December 6, I found him hiding near Tsurumi Station. The murderer pursued by the Armed Detective Agency was accidentally run over by a tram and died at 15:45."

"Accident?" Edogawa interjected dissatisfiedly, "Isn't this an accident?"

"It was an accident." Ayatsuji pedestrian said.

"No, no, it's too reluctant to classify it as an accident." Edogawa Ranpo said stubbornly, "Don't think we don't know, Ayatsuji Xingren, known as a murder detective, a super-level dangerous person with ignorance of cause and effect, The ability to make people die, the condition for this ability, I guess, is that you find the prisoner, as long as you catch the prisoner with conclusive evidence, he will die by accident, right? We failed to complete the task of hunting down the murderer The person who hates the mission—Yyatsuji Koichi.”

"Even so, it doesn't change that the cause of the killer's death was a car accident." Ayatsuji pedestrian said, "Besides, you should also understand that even if the killer was killed intentionally, my ability is only a weapon to be manipulated. The real murderer..."

The real murderer...

Qingmao stepped back unconsciously, and a voice rang in his mind.

run away...

run away...

But why did she run away?

She didn't kill anyone, and she didn't entrust detective Ayatsuji Xingren to hunt down the murderer. She didn't have that memory, and she didn't know anything...

Everything Ayatsuji-sensei said was a lie he made up and directed, right?Otherwise, how could she not remember anything?

Kienuma Toki let go of Fukuzawa Yukichi's hand, and unconsciously stepped back step by step. At this moment, the voice of the youth sounded.

"Do you want to escape?" The young Dazai Osamu who always shouted to commit suicide looked at her, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "The real murderer—Mrs. Mikami."

The real murderer...

Qingmao stopped her backward steps, her pupils constricted suddenly, and the blood on her body seemed to freeze.

Plop plop.

The dull pain of heart palpitations came from the left chest. Qingmao clutched his chest in pain, his face completely lost all color, and his body knelt down on the ground trembling like convulsions.

【warn!warn!Accelerated heartbeat, decreased renal function, and increased blood potassium concentration will soon trigger the death mechanism! ! 】

"I didn't kill...I didn't kill...I didn't kill..."

"I do not have……"

Qingmao pressed her chest, gritted her teeth and kept repeating the fact that she did not kill anyone in a self-hypnotic manner. The feeling of dying made her soul tremble. As long as she gave a hint, she would have the idea of ​​killing someone herself for a moment, which came from genes. The shame mechanism will be activated, and the magic power in her body will attack herself.

【Why is this world so unfair? 】

[Why should I be threatened with shame? 】

[I never hurt anyone, why do they always want to hurt me?To hurt someone I love? 】

Countless shattered voices rang out in his mind, and Qing Nuan suddenly raised his eyes, staring straight at the young man who accused her of murder, his previously docile eyebrows and eyes became sharp and sharp.

"Mr. Dazai..." Kienuma took a deep and long breath. After the guilt stopped, the dull pain in his heart passed away. Kienuma stood up slowly, his eyes fell on the surprised and innocent young man, and said, " Please don't accuse me of murder without authorization, I never thought of hurting anyone."

The docile rabbit gets angry and is more difficult than the hedgehog.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing." Osamu Dazai quickly hid behind his partner Kunikida Doppo, pretending to be an ostrich, ignoring Kunikida Doppo's dissatisfied low shout not to use me as a shield.

"Ashi, you really didn't want to hurt anyone."

Mori Ogai, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly made a sound. He seemed to be tired from standing for a long time, so he sat down at the end of the bed of the detective agency president Yukichi Fukuzawa regardless of his image. His hands were wearing white gloves, and they were folded at this moment Leaning on his knees, when he was looking at Qingmao, under her hopeful eyes, he slowly said: "But countless people are about to die because of you, do you know, Ah Shi?"

Countless people are about to die because of you...

You are no longer a good boy, Ah Shi...

"I don't understand..." Kienuma said with slightly red eyes, "I obviously didn't do anything..."

"So you are also aware of it." Mori Ogai closed his eyes and said, "Yokohama's abnormal weather, as well as the residents who are constantly getting sick, who are the people who caused these disasters?"

"No...not me..."

Kienuma backed away helplessly, with tears seeping from the corners of her eyes. Mori Ogai looked at the crying girl and said, "The shopping street in the central district is the ground zero. There are 1324 people infected with incurable diseases in the central area, 873 in the western area connected to the central area, 795 in the southern area, 905 in the Isogo area, and 521 in the outer Kanagawa area..."

"Don't...don't talk anymore!" Qingmao covered her ears in fear, a dull pain came from her chest, and the muscles in her limbs spasmed and twitched due to the pain, and she knelt down on the ground weakly.

The blood potassium concentration rose rapidly, the heart rhythm began to be disordered, the kidney function was progressively failing, the muscles and nerves of the limbs began to feel numb, and even her vision began to blur when she swamped. She clearly realized that the death mechanism was depriving her of her life. Trembling, he stretched out his hand towards the man, pleading with trembling lips, "Help...help me...Mr. Sen..."

save... save me...

help me……

Mr Mori...

"Please help me, Mr. Mori."

The girl opened Shakespeare's play "As You Like It" in her hand, and recited the words from the script:

The whole world is a stage,

All men and women are but actors,

They will all enter and exit.

"Ashi, are you treating me as a chess piece that you can use?" Mori Ogai said helplessly.

"Because you are the only one who can help me, Mr. Mori." The girl rubbed her nose and laughed, "Mr. Mori is a kind and good person, he will definitely help me."

"Help you kill you?" Mori Ogai poked the girl's forehead and said, "I've worked so hard to train you for so many years, but now you tell me that you want to die?"

"I don't want to die." The girl stuck out her tongue pretending to be relaxed, and said, "But there is no way. Before a crisis occurs, one must always prepare for a retreat."

"Tell me, what should I do." Mori Ogai said.

"Mr. Sen, I told you that the condition for the activation of the spell is imagination. As long as you conceive and draw a clear image in your mind, the spell can be activated." The girl pointed to her head and said, "But Human consciousness is further divided into superficial consciousness for identifying authenticity and hidden subconsciousness. The superficial consciousness can be continuously corrected, but the subconscious cannot be corrected. But what is disturbing is that both the superficial consciousness and the subconscious can activate spells. .”

"That is to say..." Mori Ogai frowned.

"Yes, when I have aggressive negative thoughts unconsciously, or subconscious minds that cannot be corrected and controlled, such as hatred or fear, the potential consciousness will activate the magic power, that is, the magic power will leak." The girl said. As he spoke, he twisted his fingers annoyedly, "Spell power can do almost everything, such as recombining genes to change species can also be done, so if the magic power leaks too much, the whole world will be changed."

"You mean you will change the whole world?" Mori Ogai raised his eyebrows in a teasing tone.

"This is not a joke. The magic power in me is unlimited. Once it gets out of control and continues to leak, it is possible to cover the entire earth." The girl said seriously.

The girl had a serious face, and Mori Ogai finally corrected his attitude and asked, "Since you have endless energy, how can I stop you from getting out of control?"

"This is the most important point. The energy in my body is indeed unlimited, but my body has limits." The girl took a deep breath, and explained her weakness without reservation, "It's better to say that my body is very fragile. Ordinary physical attacks can injure me, and besides... there are attack suppression and shame mechanisms..."

"Attack suppression and shame mechanism?"

"Yes, let me tell you a secret, Mr. Mori, as long as I hurt someone, I will die." The girl lowered her head, touched the position of her chest and heart unconsciously, and said, "So if you want to kill me, just keep attacking I am enough. If I counterattack, the attack suppression will warn me first. At this time, my actions will be stagnant for a few seconds, and the defense is also the weakest. If I overcome the attack suppression and counterattack, the shameful death mechanism would kill me too."

"So, to you people thousands of years ago, I am a complete weakling." The girl had a helpless smile on her face, which seemed to resign herself to fate.

"Tell me this kind of thing, is it really alright?" Mori Ogai said with a headache, this girl actually told him without reservation about such a matter of life and death, she really believed that he would not do anything to her, still……

"It's okay, because it's Mr. Mori." The girl frowned, and said briskly, with complete trust on her face, "Mr. Mori is a very good person in my eyes, so..."

"So, Mr. Mori, I entrust my life to you."

"If one day my spell power goes out of control and causes disaster, please be sure...kill me."

The scalpel in the palm of his hand was shining brightly. Mori Ogai looked at the girl who was convulsed and trembling due to the seizure of death, and slowly closed his eyes. He seemed to see the girl holding "As You Like It" and recited happily.

The whole world is a stage,

All men and women are but actors,

They will all enter and exit.

Are they all...actors?

Did this girl... see the end from the beginning?

--------------------

The author has something to say:

Second more.

In fact, according to Ah Shi's original revenge plan, it should be seamless, but unfortunately she lost to him.

But she also expected this ending, so the funeral was also arranged.

In addition, when Mikami Wu died, she was about to degenerate into a karmic demon. She chose to get redemption through revenge, but revenge would only increase the pressure, and she took the wrong path.
