The whole of Yokohama thought we were together

When Osamu Dazai and Sakunosuke Oda led the mayor's daughter down the stairs, all the prisoners on the first floor were subdued by Doppo Kunikida. He didn't move when he heard the footsteps, and stood in the corner with his eyes downcast in silence. He looked at something that looked like a test bench in front of him.

Oda Sakunosuke walked over to the opponent.

Osamu Dazai also wanted to move, but at the same time, Shiori who was walking beside her suddenly turned pale, she turned around, and her whole body was almost attached to Osamu Dazai.

"I'm sorry..."

Although she said so, her body seemed to be frozen, and she couldn't move to the side even after trying hard for a while.

Osamu Dazai let her cling to him, raised his eyes and glanced at the laboratory table, and understood the reason for Shiori's appearance.

There were dried bloodstains on and around the test bench, and there was a machete also stained with blood in the corner. Looking carefully, there seemed to be something other than blood on it, lumpy, meat-like things, It's not hard to imagine what this knife and this bench were originally used for.

And this unlucky lady had probably seen such a terrifying scene with her own eyes.

Osamu Dazai glanced at the policeman who had just arrived outside the bungalow, put his hand on Shiori's shoulder, and half-forced him to turn away from the door, comforting: "Miss, don't be afraid, they will send you home of."

Shiori seemed to have calmed down a bit, and when she saw the female police officer walking towards her, most of the fear in her heart dissipated.

She turned her head to look at Osamu Dazai, her eyes fell on his neck again, hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "You are hurt, actually, I can..."

There was a little fluorescent light on her fingertips, faintly, like the unfinished lights left by fireflies at night.

But Osamu Dazai only glanced at it, and then pressed down the finger that the other party had just raised.

That point of fluorescence disappeared in an instant.

"You are very tired, miss, you need a good rest."

Osamu Dazai let go of the hand on her shoulder, and the female police officer had already walked over. Shiori finally thanked him and Sakunosuke Oda, then turned around and followed the police officer into the police car.

The endgame was cleaned up by the police. After Kunikida Doppo explained the situation here to the police, he, Oda Sakunosuke, and Dazai Osamu returned to Yokohama City with the supernatural beings among the criminals.

The two members of the detective agency naturally went back to the agency to give a mission report first, and Osamu Dazai went into the cafe again to look for food alone.

But this time he didn't order spicy curry, but chose some food that looked very light and delicious, and finally said to the clerk with a smile:

"Remember the account of Detective Agency Kunikida Doppo."

--

When Osamu Dazai was eating and drinking downstairs, the detective agency upstairs was also very lively.

Kunikida Doppo first contacted the Supernatural Secret Service Division, explaining the supernatural beings outside the records that appeared in this mission, and arranging the transfer of supernatural being criminals. After the call was over, he remembered to ask Oda Sakunosuke went back to rest, but before he could talk about it, when he turned his head, Fukuzawa Yukichi, the president of the detective agency who was often invisible, appeared at the door.

Everyone in the detective agency was taken aback.

As soon as Fukuzawa Yukichi opened his mouth, the whole detective agency exploded.

——He intends to let Osamu Dazai join the detective agency.

"Wh-President, are you serious?!" Kunikida Doppo looked at the person at the door incredulously, suspecting that he was hallucinating just now.

Oda Sakunosuke was also a little surprised. Although he had this idea, he didn't speak yet.

[Why did the president suddenly bring up this matter?And... did the president know that person before? ]

Fukuzawa Yukichi folded his arms and did not answer, but his serious face showed that what he said was not a joke.

"But Osamu Dazai was originally a mafia, right?" Kenji Miyazawa tilted his head, a little confused, "Did such a person join the detective society to save people? Besides, didn't we have a fight with them? "

Tanizaki Junichiro couldn't help but agree: "Yes, this mafia, he took away Mr. Akutagawa's sister before, if Mr. Akutagawa comes back..."

Although Ryunosuke Akutagawa's mood was indeed quite stable when he brought Osamu Dazai back yesterday, there was always an old grudge between the two of them. If they stayed under the same roof for a long time, there was no guarantee that Akutagawa would not be awakened again Ryunosuke's anger met shortly.

What Tanizaki Junichiro said was exactly the worry of everyone in the detective agency, but since Fukuzawa Yukichi raised this point, he must have considered all possible factors.He was noncommittal to these words, but looked at Kunikida Doppo, and asked, "Did he participate in your mission this time? Kunikida, what kind of person do you think he is?"

Kunikida Doppo paused, but quickly thought about his question.

"A guy with a good brain." He said, "He is very keen on the situation of the case and the motives of the criminal's behavior. His analysis is unique and his intuition is accurate. It is indeed of great help to our mission. But——"

He paused for a while, and looked more serious, "There are behaviors that value the results of transactions more than human lives, so... I'm not sure if he can become an investigator with the spirit of protecting the people."

Fukuzawa Yukichi still didn't comment on this, he just silently set his sights on another participant of this mission.

However, the other party seemed to be distracted, leaning against the wall, wondering what he was thinking with lowered eyes, and did not meet the president's questioning eyes.

It was Yosano Akiko who was next to him who touched him, which brought him back to his senses, and looked around blankly.

"Ah...sorry." Oda Sakunosuke frowned. After figuring out the current situation, he thought about it and said the most critical point, "He told me that he lost his memory and only remembered his own name. .”

This sentence was so successful that the detective agency that had been quiet for a while was noisy again.

Miyazawa Kenji: "Ah? Then does he still remember his identity?"

Tanizaki Junichiro: "Have you forgotten all about the past?"

Kunikida Doppo: "It's a lie! I didn't realize that this guy is a person with amnesia!"

Amidst the eyes of believers or disbelievers, Oda Sakunosuke continued calmly: "I don't know...whether he is that 'Dazai Osamu' or not."

Everyone: "..."

At this moment, everyone in the detective agency finally realized dully that they all subconsciously regarded this person as the former mafia leader Osamu Dazai, and did not distinguish between two people.

But they can't be blamed for this. Who would have thought that there would be someone in this world who looks exactly like a dead person and still calls the exact same name?

But calm down and think about it, can something like resurrection from the dead really happen?

If all the dead could come back to life, would the world still be able to function normally?

Social order will fall into chaos, and the world will... collapse.

So, that person... isn't actually the original "Osamu Dazai"?

Fukuzawa Yukichi still looked at Sakunosuke Oda: "Oda, what do you think of this person today?"

Oda Sakunosuke was silent for a moment, then said slowly, "Like a child."

Kunikida Doppo: "...?"

[Are you blind or am I blind? ]

"If you don't deliberately divide good and evil, it doesn't matter which side..." Oda Sakunosuke said, "If the previous task was an entrance exam, he should have passed."

After he finished speaking, the detective agency fell silent. Everyone had different expressions and thoughts, and they were all thinking about what he said last.

If that was really an entrance exam, with the difficulty of this exam——

The time limit of three days was shortened to one day. He saved people and blocked criminals who wanted to escape, and also relied on him to obtain key information. Not only is it a pass, it is a perfect score!

Fukuzawa Yukichi glanced around the detective agency, and after a while, made a decision: "Then let him take another entrance exam."

Kunikida Doppo: "Huh? Again?"

"Yes." Fukuzawa Yukichi said, "Take this opportunity to let us see clearly what kind of person he is."

Kunikida Doppo: "Then what kind of test will be conducted?"

"I have an idea."

This time, she interjected with Akiko Yosano. She looked at Sakunosuke Oda who was standing against the wall, and smiled:

"Oda, from the moment you walked in, I wanted to say, do you have a fever?"
