When Oda Saku became a cadre

The person sitting next to Oda Sakunosuke was incompatible with the modern atmosphere of the overall decoration of the curry shop.

This man dressed like a swordsman in a kimono is holding a pack of colorful candies in his hand at the moment. With that serious face that is so fierce that it can even scare away children, he successfully confused the customers in the store. .

"haven't seen you for a long time."

The middle-aged man did not deny the title Silver Wolf.He greeted Sakunosuke Oda naturally, and then took a sip of the oily and spicy sundae curry he ordered.

Fukuzawa Yukichi barely maintained his image, coughing a few times physiologically.When he eased from that greasy feeling like hell, Fukuzawa Yukichi looked at Oda Sakunosuke with admiration in his eyes.

Ignoring the strange colorful candies, Fukuzawa Yukichi can maintain his aura of being a leader even when eating dark dishes

The white-haired swordsman was a little more composed than he was ten years ago.Established an armed detective agency from scratch and now it has become a pillar, trusted and respected by all subordinates.

This increasingly mature male is still the same as before - scared by cats.

It is also rare for a poor person like Fukuzawa Yukichi to be avoided by stray cats in the whole square, to the extent that even children passing by are shocked.

"It's just that you look too majestic, and so does the aura you exude."

The two sides who were once in a hostile position are now more tense than they were then.

One is the cadre of the Port Mafia, and the other is the president of the Armed Detective Agency. The fact that the Port Mafia is arresting the members of the detective agency is enough to make the two fight at this moment.

However, none of the above happened.

After Fukuzawa and Oda came out of the curry shop, they walked all the way near the park and sat down in a place with few people.

The water in the fountain, which is constantly being thrown into the air, is dyed warm colors by the setting sun.The sound of water dripping, the ripples in the pool, and the sounds of children playing in the distance are faintly visible.

"Ranbu told me that you who are still alive are the one he never expected."

Fukuzawa Yukichi was deeply moved by the fact that the boy who had never been integrated into the world became more silent when he grew up.He saved the child Edogawa Ranpo, and also witnessed the tragedy of Oda Sakunosuke from a certain angle.

Edogawa Ranpo predicted a death-defying battle, and those who knew the result went to die without the slightest hesitation.

"Are you still a killer?" Fukuzawa Yukichi sighed. Ranpo had told him a long time ago that Oda Sakunosuke was one of the five cadres of the port mafia, so asking this question was meaningless.

Oda Sakunosuke's eyes were not fixed, so he could only look straight at the flowers in the distance.This should have been a sensitive topic, but Oda Sakunosuke didn't seem to care much, and maintained the atmosphere between the two of them as if they were reminiscing about old friends, and replied, "Yes."

Fukuzawa Yukichi thought for a moment but couldn't figure out how to continue this topic.Mr. Natsume told him that there was a young man with red hair who was determined to embark on the road of writing, got rid of the state of confusion and found the goal of life.

That young man was Oda Sakunosuke.

But the current Oda Sakunosuke is like a string puppet barely maintaining his own life, which is worse than the nothingness state of his youth.

He can also speculate that something must have happened that is enough to destroy Oda Sakunosuke's personality again. It is too difficult to balance between poking each other's wounds and appease each other during the conversation, not to mention that they are just strangers who only have a relationship on both sides.

One time was to send the other party to prison, and the other time was to make a deal, neither of which were obviously good memories.

Fukuzawa Yukichi had a hard time leaving Sakunosuke Oda behind, as if in a certain world, Sakunosuke Oda was also a member of his club.

It is impossible to ignore the sense of intimacy rushing towards him, and apart from the possibility that Mori Ogai has trapped him in a supernatural power, the only explanation is fate.

'Just treat him as fate. Fukuzawa Yukichi was also relieved.It's not that he didn't notice something was wrong in this world, and it was better to be peaceful than to argue.

It was getting late, and the people in the park dispersed.The buzzing of moths lingering under the street lamps disturbed the mind.

"You...forget it, maybe we will be real enemies next time we meet, and I won't show mercy, just like back then."

Oda Sakunosuke watched Fukuzawa leave, and before the silver-haired swordsman was about to walk out of his hearing range, he suddenly replied: "If there is a different ending, it is probably a lucky thing to be your subordinate."

Fukuzawa Yukichi paused, feeling sour in his heart.Too much involuntary, but no if.

Oda Sakunosuke, who sent Fukuzawa Yukichi away, sat where he was and did not leave for a while.The sky has completely darkened, and there is only a crescent moon hanging in the sky in the dark night without stars, which becomes the only embellishment.

He had spent countless nights by himself, but never felt alone.The people who he met by chance before and thought he would never see again now appeared by his side one by one, as if he was afraid that he would forget his past.

He clearly felt that he would never cry again because of anything, but he still couldn't control the loneliness that had been suppressed at the bottom and hadn't erupted for a long time.

Ever since he was offered a reward of 80 billion for Renhu and was sent by Mori Ogai to Tokyo on a business trip, he had to be involved in various incidents and had to come into contact with others.

There are coincidences, and there are also coincidences that are logical and arranged in advance.

I couldn't leave because of guilt, but now I was forced to entangle myself in shallow fetters.Mori Ogai seemed to have inherited Osamu Dazai's last wish, as if he was afraid of dying.

Anyway, Sakunosuke Oda didn't believe that Mori Ogai could be so kind, and he didn't believe that with this kind of plastic master and apprentice, Mori Ogai could change his arrangements for himself.

Unless Osamu Dazai leaves something to Mori Ogai, Mori Ogai thinks that the existence of Oda Sakunosuke can get the best results.

"It can't be because you survived that you met so many people who shouldn't have met again... Dazai, how long did you plan before you died?"

Oda Sakunosuke recalled the words of Dazai before his death, and erased this dangerous guess.The words of Osamu Dazai before his death clearly hoped that he could stay away from the Mafia and the world and become a novelist, but he failed to achieve it because of his stubbornness.

Oda Sakunosuke stared at his bandaged right hand, his brain that hadn't thought deeply for a long time was running fast.He looked for clues from the details that he had deliberately ignored all these years, trying to find the hope he had abandoned long ago.

"Dazai has been able to see ghosts for a long time, but he didn't joke about the world being destroyed or something, and it is impossible to think that I will continue to write novels in a precarious world."

"No, you're not planning anything...that's what's driving it all."

"Is there anything in Yokohama?"

I don't know who is sighing in the darkness, and the bugs in the grass keep chirping, it's peaceful and natural.

Mori Ogai, who was processing documents in the port mafia building, shuddered.

"Alice-chan, this time I'm clearly working hard towards a happy ending, why don't you believe me?"

"Of course it's because Rintaro's reputation is too bad! And Rintaro is willing to compromise because you think it's the best for the port mafia and Yokohama. With the four cadres of Hongye sister Oda Sakuya and Dazai, Rintaro is very happy. Alright."

Alice was scribbling the mysterious creature in the latest information, and just halfway through the drawing, she was called out by name, and she raised her head angrily and pierced Mori Ogai, who seemed to have become a good old man.

"The port mafia still cannot lack the resourceful faction. I have reserved the position of cadre for Dazai-kun for a long time."

The leader of the port mafia stopped joking with his own supernatural body and continued to deal with a whole table of confidential documents.

Ranpo Edogawa, who rushed back to the detective agency from the dessert shop and reported the matter to Fukuzawa Yukichi, lay on the sofa with rewarded snacks and opened his green eyes, muttering something: "So, the world of adults is really strange."

Edogawa Ranpo has been staying at the detective agency waiting for Fukuzawa Yukichi to come back. He waited from day to night and fell asleep before he finished his snacks.

Before Atsushi Nakajima left, he was still thinking whether to wake up the senior, but Kunikida Doppo shook his head to stop him, took Atsushi Nakajima away quietly, and closed the door quietly.

When Fukuzawa Yukichi returned to the detective agency, he saw that Ranbu, who was sleeping in the snack pile, suddenly felt much better. He woke up the dazed people, and tidied up the sofa without any complaints.

"President, it will have a good ending, the best ending for everyone."

Edogawa Ranpo, who fell asleep again shortly after waking up, whispered in his sleep.Fukuzawa Yukichi could still hear it even in a very low voice, and the burden was instantly lifted.

Edogawa Ranpo, the eternal reassurance of the Armed Detective Agency, when Fukuzawa Yukichi praised him and received a new candy when he got up early tomorrow morning, he was as happy as a 26-year-old child, even walking like It looks like it's about to float.

Together with Atsushi Nakajima, who also floated up quickly after meeting Izumi Jinghua, they were surrounded by the whole society.

---

"I met a guy with weird bangs."

Not long after Quan Jinghua returned to the dormitory of the port mafia, she was dragged by Hongye to chat.She had a crush on this woman with similar abilities to her from the very beginning.

Although both she and Akutagawa Ryunosuke wished they could blend into the darkness and work for the port mafia to kill.But compared to Ryunosuke Akutagawa who is not good at expressing and stubborn, Koyo Ozaki's kindness is more obvious

Ozaki Koyo's meticulous care of Izumi Kyoka also made this little girl who had just lost her parents feel the meaning of family again.

When Quan Jinghua was in school, she experienced being excluded, made friends and tried to grasp redemption in the struggle and conflict.Although she still thinks that she who has killed people is not worthy of returning to the light, she has also stepped out of the shadows a lot.

Koyo Ozaki looked at Izumi Kyoka carefully, and the girl was indeed a lot more cheerful, which made her hesitate in her originally firm attitude.

"In Tokyo, take care of yourself."

In the end, I chose to compromise.
