On a moonless night in Yokohama, the Lupine Bar was bustling with unprecedented excitement.

"Hey—have you heard?"

"You mean that?"

"It's around here!"

"That rumored... haunted?"

Recently, a strange supernatural story has been circulating in Yokohama.

It is rumored that near a remote bar, there are often strange scenes of cherry blossom forests blooming in the air.

According to the passers-by who witnessed it, under the hazy shadow of the cherry blossom trees, it seems that sad ghosts can be seen wandering non-stop.

Some people said that it was the wraith who unfortunately died in the Dragon Head War three years ago.

However, whether it is a ghost or a wraith, this supernatural event did not really have a great impact on Yokohama, at most it made the residents panic for a while.

However, for those who are good at calculating interests, this may be an opportunity to stir up the situation in Yokohama.

After all, Yokohama is not yet peaceful at this time.

So soon, the investigation report on the cherry tree and the battlefield ghost was handed over to the leader of the port mafia.

"Hey——" Mori Owai flipped through the thick report on the table, and said in distress, "Did a ghost appear in Yokohama?"

Alice on the side squatted on the ground, drawing with a crayon in a good mood.

"Alice-chan~ Do ghosts really exist in the world?" Mori Ogai compared the times and places where ghosts were sighted several times, but his smile became more meaningful.

"Stupid Rintaro!" The blond girl threw the paintbrush angrily, "You're interrupting my drawing!"

"I'm sorry—Alice~" Mori Ogai said with a mournful face, "Dad has been really busy recently, and it's been a long time since I went shopping with Alice."

"So—it was Rin Taro's fault!" Alice stomped her feet angrily, turned her back, and ignored the man pretending to be pitiful.

In the chief's office, the young girl's paintings are scattered all over the floor, and it can be clearly seen that each painting is painted with light pink cherry blossoms and blue ghosts.

"Rin Taro is really an idiot!" Alice still stomped her feet impatiently, "Whether there are ghosts or not, Rin Taro will always encounter all kinds of troubles!"

"Yes." Mori Ogai looked at the Lupine bar highlighted in his subordinate's investigation report, and said to himself playfully, "Why did ghosts appear at this time..."

"Did Ghost-kun go after Dazai? Or the port Mafia? Or..."

"Really, there is too little information! Alice~" The current leader of the port mafia was serious for a few minutes, and then immediately revealed his true colors, "Let's let Dazai investigate the Yokohama ghost! And first let that Oda-kun ..."

"In any case, Port Mafia will definitely get a license for abilities."

On the other side, the Lupine bar was still unusually lively.

"Yo—" The man wearing sunglasses greeted him familiarly, "Boss!"

"It's still very lively today!"

The man sat directly at the table and ordered a glass of his usual wine.

Looking at this frequent visitor, the boss skillfully mixed the drink: "Thanks to that ghost, there have been a lot of guests in the bar recently."

"Ahahaha..." After hearing the boss tease "ghost", the man suddenly laughed dryly, "Then I wish the boss a prosperous business first!"

"..."

After the man laughed dryly, he calmed down. He seemed to have lost some interest. After taking the drink that the boss had mixed, he didn't say anything more.

"However, did ghosts really appear?" The boss asked suddenly.

"Maybe he's just a lonely degenerate." The man said in a muffled voice after taking a sip of his wine.

"'He'? But what I've heard is that the ghost is a beautiful, sad woman."

The man put down his glass in horror.

"Boss, who did you listen to! He is clearly a great degenerate!" The man suddenly became angry, and he drank his wine angrily, shouting, "How could it be a female ghost?"

"It's just a rumor."

Before the boss could argue, the man suddenly calmed down and ended the topic with one sentence.

The bar was eerily quiet.

"Well—boss's wine is not bad, as expected of Lupine... It would be even better if those guys can come now. Forget it..." The man muttered inexplicably, as if he was drunk Same, carelessly put down the wine glass.

The boss felt that the man's expression at this time, to some extent, highly overlapped with the expression of a man who used to come here frequently.

However, before the boss could react, the man greeted and left just like before.

"Goodbye boss, I'll be back in a few days..."

However, the moment he left the bar, brilliant cherry blossoms quietly bloomed over the bar.

The man looked vaguely at the cherry blossoms falling in the sky, straightened the sunglasses on his face, lowered his head, and inadvertently passed the bandaged young man.

"That." The young man said suddenly.

"What's the matter? Brat." The man turned his head, his slightly drunken face was under the sunglasses.

The young man, namely Osamu Dazai, is coming to drink at Lupin's bar under the order of his unscrupulous boss.

No—to be precise, they came to investigate the Yokohama ghost incident.

However, no matter what kind of argument it is, it doesn't matter to Dazai Osamu, after all, it is all kinds of boring temptations of the old fox.

For him, what is more important now is his friend Oda Sakunosuke, and this investigation is said to have his participation.

"You really know how to use people, Dr. Mori." Osamu Dazai said perfunctorily in his heart.

But he didn't expect that when he arrived near Lupin's bar, he would directly witness the beautiful scene of cherry blossoms suddenly blooming.

And this suspected "Yokohama ghost" man.

The fashionista in front of him looked very rebellious, but his attire formed a subtle contrast with the book tied around his waist.

It's like writing "I'm not right" written all over your face.

This is so much fun!

Although Dazai would like to make a bad comment that "Miss Ghost" may be a big man.

The smile on Dazai Osamu's face became brighter and brighter, but his eyes were as calm as stagnant water. Anyone familiar with this smile knew that it was a sign that he was about to cheat someone.

He stared at the "Yokohama Ghost" in front of him, trying to see his true nature through the man's appearance.

Is the Ghost Lord under the cherry blossom grove a supernatural power, or is it really the ghost of the dead on the battlefield?

So, he replied obediently: "Sir, your things have been dropped."

Only then did the man realize that his wallet was in the hands of the bandaged young man at some point.

"Thank you!" He shrugged, took the wallet handed over by Osamu Dazai, and his fingers inevitably touched the young man's palm.

The cherry blossoms above the Lupin Bar seem to be in full bloom. With a breeze blowing, the lingering cherry blossom petals continue to fall until they dissipate in the night.

The man didn't seem to have seen this strange cherry blossom forest. After thanking him, he left the place directly, and his figure disappeared into the night like a petal.

As the figure of the man gradually recedes, the grove of cherry blossoms in the air gradually becomes unreal.

It really doesn't hide it at all!

Osamu Dazai looked at the back of the man leaving in surprise.

Isn't this cherry blossom forest a supernatural power?Or used other methods to cover up something?Do ghosts really exist?So……

Osamu Dazai summed up various assumptions in his mind, the other party's performance was too obvious, but the touch of his fingers told him that it was not a supernatural power at all.

Is it a human or a ghost?

In other words -

Is the other party still alive?

"There are so few clues! Mr. Mori is really convincing..." He muttered, trying to touch the petals of the cherry blossoms that were gradually disappearing.

Ah—the touch is real, just like that man.

"Dazai?"

A voice came from not far away, and the voice gradually became clearer.

"Boss sent you here too."

"Ah...it's Odasaku." Dazai Osamu's expression gradually became like a living person, leaving the dead state just now.

"How are you doing recently? Dazai."

"not bad."

"But can't Odasaku see the cherry blossom tree in the sky?" Dazai raised his hand like a child, pointing to the somewhat hazy cherry blossom tree and asked.

"It can be seen! Because it is a very rare sight." Oda Saku thought for a while and replied seriously.

Dazai couldn't help laughing: "As expected of Odasaku's answer!"

"Odasaku hasn't changed at all!"

Osamu Dazai and Oda Saku walked into the bar. It was already late at night, and there were no customers in the bar.

"Boss, please bring me a cocktail with dish soap.

"Not in this shop." The boss paused for a moment while wiping the glass, and replied as usual.

"Hey——" Dazai deliberately prolonged the tone, "What a pity."

Oda Sakunosuke was seriously tasting the wine. He put the wine glass down and said suddenly: "I didn't expect that we could get together to drink."

"It would be great if Ango was here."

"..."

Osamu Dazai made no reply.

Oda Sakunosuke did not make another sound.

They all agreed not to mention Ango again.

Oda Sakunosuke was the first to break the silence, and he changed the subject in an unwise way: "Boss, has anything strange happened here recently?"

"Are you trying to ask about the 'ghost' rumors?"

"Hey—boss." Dazai asked directly, "Has there been any strange customers in the store recently?"

"Strange customers? Not really." The boss thought for a while, but saw Dazai's dark eyes, and changed his words, "There is a little brother with sunglasses who often visits."

"Speaking of which, since he came to the store, the business has gradually improved!"

"Does the boss know his name?"

"It's not very clear, but I often hear him say something like 'the fallen'."

"Degenerate...?" Osamu Dazai repeated, "What a wonderful word."

"Odasaku, are you interested in listening to an interesting recording?" Dazai asked suddenly.

"it is good."

In the quiet bar, only the rustling of human voices can be heard.

It sounds like a male, who seems to be talking to someone else.

"Calm down... where are you now..."

"Woooooooooooooooooo scary..."

"Don't cause trouble for me casually!..."

"... This world is really scary... There is not even a book by the great teacher here! This world is definitely going to be destroyed..."

"Calm down, I have some... teacher's novels here."

It's a really bad conversation.

But Osamu Dazai always felt an inexplicable sense of shame in his heart.

And Sakunosuke Oda was still listening to the "recording" with great interest, and didn't find anything wrong at all.

until--

"...Really? Didn't you lie to me? I would really die if I didn't read the teacher's book!"

"Ango."
