Night Rabbit

During the day, Yokohama is under the control of the city police.

Because he was designated as a police officer for a day, Kagura could only get up early on Saturday, when he was supposed to sleep soundly, and went downstairs, and was picked up by the police car waiting downstairs.

Putting on the uniform of a police officer, donning a sign that says "Internship", after hastily eating the breakfast provided by the police station, Kagura, who was still a little foggy, went on patrol with the police officer uncle.

On the streets of Yokohama in the early morning, there are not many people.

Squinting, Kagura, who walked like a soulless puppet, walked slowly behind Uncle Yuanping, sniffed, and squeezed out the cool air.

"During the patrol, is there anything unusual? Kagura." Officer Qianchuan on the radio was obviously concerned about her.

"Not at all,? It feels as quiet and peaceful as being in heaven, Aru." Kagura glanced at the surrounding situation, and told the other party what he saw, "If I were a mafia, I probably wouldn't Choose to act in broad daylight. So, uncle, your burden during the day should be very light.”

"Ahem..." Officer Qian Chuan coughed twice unconsciously when he heard her say this, "Girl, please cherish this time." After all, the peaceful years are quiet, and every second is consumed by one second less.

"Huh?" Kagura exclaimed.

Qian Chuan on this side thumped slightly, "What... what's wrong?"

"I saw a huge cockroach flying over, HELS! HELS? ME!" The other party's voice was terrified.

Just "You mean HELP, right? Cockroach, do you mean that there are cockroaches flying by on the street?" Qian Chuan confirmed to the other party again.

Unexpectedly, his words were strongly condemned by Kagura.

"Is that the point? Is that the point? Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh help, why is there a super-sized cockroach, it is a monster from another world, so scary! Is this world going to be taken over by cockroaches? Damn it, hate it Ahhhh HELPES?! HELPES? ME!"

At this point in time, it seems that it is not the time to complain about Kagura's English learning situation.

Qian Chuan suppressed the urge to correct, and asked the police officer next to him about the situation in the area that Kagura and the others were patrolling.

"There are indeed unknown creatures appearing in that area. They are huge in size and fierce in action..." According to the detection of the drone, an image of the creature appeared on the screen. As Kagura said, it was an abnormal shape with the appearance of a cockroach big guy.

"Organize the evacuation of the citizens!" Qian Chuanhuo stood up and said to the others in the office.

"learn!"

"What is this? A mutated species from which biotechnology research institute?" Yuan Ping, who was standing at the intersection not far away to evacuate and warn the people, watched the creature change from being active to being so still.

"No, it doesn't feel like it came from the ground." Yuan Ping thought about the origin of this weird creature, looked up at the peaceful blue sky, and had a bold guess in his heart, but even that would not help the current situation. Busy, or think about how to evacuate more people.

Speaking of Kagura... He looked at the figure who was running away in a hurry, but he didn't find Kagura wearing the same color uniform as him.

People... It seems that they disappeared when they received Qian Chuan's dialogue.

Scratching through the memory, it seems that she is particularly afraid of the creatures in front of her, so, has she fled to a safe area?

Leaving a lot of old men behind, ah, the cruel appearance of the girl is really heartbreaking.

"I feel like you're scolding me~"

The weak girlish voice came from a high place, and Yuan Ping raised his head subconsciously, and saw Kagura who thought he was running away, leaning on the tall and thin street lamp by the side of the road.

"!!!" What responded to her was the surprised expression of the other party.

Kagura arched the body that was about to fall, and after fixing it again, he looked down at the police officer who was still there, "It's so annoying."

She frowned, and then she let go of her hands and jumped down, "I was going to leave, but after taking a step, I thought I was a police officer, so I gave up. Identity, even for a day, will be like a shackle , to imprison a person's original instinct."

"It would be fine if I didn't have a conscience, then I wouldn't have encountered many of the troubles I encountered before." Kagura raised her chin, her petite face was troubled, "Everything is my fault, who Make me a good person."

"So, do you want to compete with it now?" Yuan Ping felt a little uneasy after listening to her seemingly inappropriate life emotion, "It's better not to. We can't guess what kind of ability this creature will have now. —It’s just a trick set up by others, and it’s a device to detonate more terrible events, so if we act blindly now, we may follow the culprit’s wishes.”

"...Ah...um."

After Kagura was stunned for a moment, he accepted his words and put away the eagerness to compete before.With a serious face, "This, indeed, needs to be handled carefully. So, let's entrust the urgent matter of how to deal with it to the Armed Detective Agency!"

"Uh..." You can't struggle any more, such as using the wisdom of the city police to settle things

...Well...it seems impossible.Yuan Ping was stunned, then covered his face in shame, "Then do it that way."

After all, in Yokohama, there is no one smarter than Ranpo Edogawa.

"Cockroach?" The famous detective, with his legs resting on the table and eating potato chips comfortably, squinted his slender eyes, listening to the Arabian Nights from his younger generation.

"How could there be such a big cockroach? Bugs or something, just keep the data in the science textbooks honestly. If there is another incident like supernatural powers that divide people into normal people and supernatural beings, Is there still a place in this world where I can eat potato chips in peace?"

Edogawa Ranpo looked at the video accompanied by crying, and opened his eyes slightly, showing emerald green color, "It should be a pet raised by someone, and the reason why it appeared in Yokohama is because this pet loves freedom and doesn't like it very much. imprisoned life."

"Pets?!!" Kunikida Doppo couldn't believe his ears, how could someone like this, ah, no, even if he likes rare and exotic animals, it is impossible to find such a huge one in this world Cockroaches.But what Senior Ranpo said has always been true, so the assertion about cockroaches is also true.

"Then how can we destroy it? Or return it to its owner." Kunikida asked after accepting the fact.

Ranpo Edogawa put the bag of potato chips on the table, put down his legs, and took a sip of soda, "Uh... well. If you want to destroy it, Kagura is there, and it's easy to deal with it. If you want to return it For the owner of pets, I think he probably didn’t notice that his pets were lost. After all, he has a lot, and he can be a zoo-level pet.”

Is that right?

It should be like this.Kunikida picked up his phone to contact Kagura who might be near the cockroach...

"It's better for me to go." Although Kagura is capable, much better than the average girl, but if you blindly pin your hopes on her, it may harm her.

As the guardian entrusted to look after her, Kunikida felt that he could no longer give her the illusion that "she alone can solve all problems".

"Actually, you don't have to go."

Not far away, Osamu Dazai, who was flipping through the newspaper in a leisurely manner, suddenly said something.

"If you want to say that Kagura is already an adult who can take care of himself, I think I will beat you up hard." Unlike the modesty towards Edogawa Ranpo, he can't get rid of Dazai Osamu no matter what , Kunikida Doppo's attitude was very serious when his bad-doing partner spoke.

Of course, no matter how serious it is, it will not affect Dazai Osamu's mood in the slightest.Sometimes, it makes him happier.

"Scary Kunikida-san~" Osamu Dazai pouted, with a troubled little complaint, "However, I am magnanimous, so I forgive you for having malicious thoughts towards me. Now, Kunikida-kun..." He stretched He raised his voice and pointed to the newspaper in his hand, "You have read this one just now, right?"

"What's wrong?" Kunikida was a little puzzled.

It was Dazai Jihuo who answered his question with a bright smile, "Oh, oh, what a sloppy club member who puts on a rigorous skin but neglects small details everywhere. Haven't you noticed such a simple thing?"

"Are you stupid?"

On the verge of Kunikida's anger, he tried back and forth, and finally succeeded. Osamu Dazai, who was kicked against the wall by the opponent's backspin, was also carrying out his daily life in the Armed Detective Agency.

"The above only focuses on the information about the astrology. How can there be anything related to cockroaches?" Kunikida said.

Alas... Osamu Dazai got up from the ground helplessly, "Is this still not understandable? Kunikida-kun."

"Don't play tricks!"

"Senior Ranpo is correct in his guesses about the master, and he has other information that he has not disclosed to you." Dazai Osamu glanced at Edogawa Ranpo, saw that he did not speak, and smiled, "Although He has a lot of pets, but this cockroach is the latest he collected, so after it ran away, he noticed it quickly."

"Then what? What does it have to do with the astrology in the newspaper!" Kunikida still couldn't understand.

"The report said that the astrology was abnormal, and the reason for the abnormality came from this. The owner of the lost pet came to find the pet. Ah, what a touching bond! The reality of looking for you across time and space is perfectly reproduced."

"..." Facing Osamu Dazai who suddenly sang, Kunikida couldn't say a word in shock.

This was the stupidest reply he had ever seen him drinking fake wine. No brainer in the whole world could compare to the Osamu Dazai who stood in front of him and had beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

"It's true." Edogawa Ranpo accepted Osamu Dazai's speculation, and dealt a fatal blow to Kunikida who believed in science.

"How...how is it possible..." Let's not talk about the operation of finding pets, let's take giant cockroaches as alien creatures. Great changes will kill it in any small detail... It cannot appear on the streets of Yokohama unharmed.

"It's unbelievable." Even with Edogawa Ranpo's affirmation, Kunikida Doppo still held the small banner of "science" in his heart.

And Kenji Miyazawa, a member of the club who grew up in the mountains, touched his hat after hearing about the origin of the giant cockroach, with a smile on his kind face, "Yokohama, it really is a big city."
