Rewind the time to an hour ago.

Edogawa Ranpo was sitting alone in a dessert shop eating snacks.

It’s just that on the famous detective’s dining table, apart from the delicately shaped desserts, there is also a pile of waste manuscripts that seem to be dipped in cream.

In fact, Edogawa Ranpo can let other members of the detective agency, especially the newcomer Tanizaki-kun, run errands for him.

But he hadn't finished writing his serial manuscript a few days ago, so he had to find a place to solve this matter alone.

Even though I have already decided with the editor to stop updating "Evil Spirit" for a month.

But the most important thing is - the president still doesn't know what he is writing in private.

"Crushing drafts is super boring——"

Edogawa grumbled listlessly, and for many moments, he wanted to imitate his peers and use that perfunctory reason to end this serial novel.

Ranpo Edogawa thought it was ridiculous to cut his own work in half on the ground of "can't figure out who the murderer is". He thought that he would never do such a thing like his peers.

It wasn't until he was forced to try writing that he gradually understood the fun of a writer's draft.

Edogawa Lanfeng (ranbu): It's fun to release pigeons for a while, but it's always fun to release pigeons all the time.

Sometimes, even a detective has to admit that "as an author, I can't figure out who the murderer is" is an irresistible reason for delaying the manuscript.

Perfect reason, except that it will produce extreme black powder.

Thinking of this, Edogawa Ranpo couldn't help muttering, his tone was still full of complaints about a certain peer: "There is such a reader... I won't admit that that guy is also 'Edogawa Ranpo' !"

"But the editor of "Evil Spirit" will definitely come to urge the manuscript again..." Edogawa Ranpo said the truth with a troubled expression.

"and also……"

He subconsciously thought of those visitors from another world whom he had never met before, and he couldn't help shivering when he recalled the "caress" of cherry blossom petals without dead ends.

Edogawa Ranpo pondered for a while, and then solemnly began to revise the article he just finished, trying to make the original case more complicated.

A mystery novel written by a famous detective himself, no one will be able to guess who the murderer is!

In fact, Edogawa Rampo started writing a long time ago, and the time when he published his first mystery novel was even earlier than Andre Gide's "Food for Human Beings".

And the reason why he tried to write a long time ago was the persecution of black fans from another world.

"If you don't write a book, you will be covered in cherry blossoms. It's really an act of revenge from a childish ghost."

The detective complained angrily.

Edogawa Ranbo viciously wrote down the name of a certain black fan on the manuscript paper, and unknowingly put his image on the body of a certain prisoner candidate in his writing.

He swayed his pen and ink in high spirits, turning a blind eye to the young man at the dining table not far behind him.

Because Edogawa Ranpo knew that the young man behind him was troublesome in various ways.

Even if he is ignored at this moment, the young man will chase him to the detective agency like a stalker in the future.

·

"He has already discovered us." The young man with green eyes slowly closed his densely packed notebook, raised his head, and observed Ranpo Edogawa with interest, "Sure enough, another Edogawa-kun is also so interesting."

"Shimazaki-sensei, Ranpo-san discovered it from the very beginning." Unable to control his body, Yui Hanyu added helplessly, "If possible, can the teacher check the situation with Tanaka-sensei?"

[Shimazaki Fujimura] did not give Yui Hanyu an answer in his heart, he knew that according to Hanyu's script, [Haruo Sato] was about to rush to [Hideko Tanaka] to clean up the mess.

Not long ago, 【Shimazaki Fujimura】had made a simple survey of Akutagawa Ryunosuke in this world, but what he wants to do now is to observe the differences between the two world's literary giants on a large scale.

"It's really a bad taste that hasn't changed." Hanyu Yuipei read.

"I can hear you, Yui." [Shimazaki Fujimura] continued to reply.

The two were talking with consciousness like this, and no one or both of them noticed—Edogawa Ranpo had already taken the opportunity to leave first.

"Ah, Mr. Edogawa has already left." [Shimazaki] lowered his eyes and said in a very regretful tone.Although I feel sorry for losing a good opportunity to interview, [Shimazaki Fujimura] still prefers to complete the task arranged by Yui Hanyu first.

In the matter of taking care of this unique little secretary, every writer is accompanying Yui Hanyu in his own way.

Although most of the time, it is Hanyu Yui who is tolerant of the literary masters with different personalities.

"Shimazaki-sensei...it really is scary..." Hanyu murmured earnestly.

"Xiao Wei, don't make such an evaluation that is exactly the same as Doppo." [Shimazaki Fujimura] made a rare joke.

Yui Hanyu's consciousness was already applauding.

"The famous detective would rather leave at this time than accept the teacher's interview."

"In terms of refusing to let me collect materials, there is no difference between the two Edogawa Ranpo." Returning to the usual posture, the material lovers noted down the commonalities between the two.

"Is this the point?"

Bunhao, who focused on the material, paused, as if he was explaining to Yui Hanyu who was worried about "not getting rid of the corroders as soon as possible": "Don't worry, Xiao Wei."

The voice from the depths of consciousness is so reassuring.

"I've come into contact with that corroder before, and it's as easy to deceive as I expected."

"Similarly, as Edogawa-kun reasoned before coming here, the corroder this time may just be an attempt by the enemy..."

"So—" Speaking of Corruptor, Yui Hanyu's tone became serious.

"So, there is nothing to worry about." As if deliberately skipping some topic, [Shimazaki Fujimura] ended the conversation easily, "Xiao Wei treats this mission as a trip."

"Moreover, Mr. Sen and the others have resolved the matters that should be discussed before."

"...Okay." Hanyu was silent for a long time before solemnly answering.

"However, I always feel that Shimazaki-sensei's tone is like that of Sato-sensei."

·

"Hello..." Kunikida Doppo greeted hesitantly.

"Mr. Dope in this world?" The man in front of him communicated with him normally, but his mind was not on the detective agency at all.

His mind had slipped downstairs to the coffee shop with his disciple's disciple.

"I'm Haruo Sato, that kid Hideko is bothering you." The man sensed Kunikida Doppo's embarrassment, and said empathetically, he found another topic.

"No..." Good self-cultivation made Kunikida Doppo accept [Sato Haruo]'s words, but quickly reacted and asked, "Hideko?"

[Haruo Sato] showed surprise on his face, and also questioned: "Hasn't Yingguang already met with the members of the detective agency?"

"The Hideko you're talking about...is that the one who went downstairs with Dazai?" Oda Sakunosuke also asked because he was stared at thoughtfully for a long time by the light pink-haired boy.

"Yes." Haruo Sato replied with some headaches.

Hearing [Sato]'s answer, he remembered the familiar outfit of the boy named [Yingguang], and what Osamu Dazai told him about [Mori Mori] not long ago.

Oda Sakunosuke made a seemingly reasonable absurd assumption——

Dressed similarly to Cherry, that boy must be a child of Dazai from the parallel world.

While Oda was thinking wildly, [Sato Haruo] had already talked about another interesting topic with Kunikida Doppo.

"Excuse me, Tanizaki Junichiro... Is Tanizaki-kun still in the detective agency?"

"He'll be here soon." The detective answered [Sato Haruo]'s question inexplicably.

From the moment he returned to the detective agency, Edogawa Ranpo kept a strange silence, more precisely, as if he was making some important psychological preparations.

"Tanizaki is my best friend. Although I have seen him from afar, I still want to meet him formally." [Haruo Sato] added.

After listening to [Haruo Sato], Doppo Kunikida looked at the image of the man again. It was hard to imagine that the same person of high school student Junichiro Tanizaki would have such a mature and reliable friend.

"Mr. Ranpo said that Tanizaki and the others will be back soon." Although he wondered why Tanizaki Junichiro was called back to the detective agency shortly after he left the house, Kunikida Doppo never questioned Edogawa Ranpo's words.

However, the reliability of Tanizaki Junichiro's best friend in the same body undoubtedly made Kunikida Doppo also start to look forward to his "own" friend in another world——

It must be the kind of serious and responsible friend who also has beautiful ideals!

"Kunikida! Don't think about things that an idiot would believe!" Edogawa Ranpo said with a chill as if stimulated by some scene.

·

"Teacher." [Tanaka Hidemitsu], who followed Dazai Osamu hurriedly downstairs, only said this sentence, and then fell silent.

The boy who thought his gift was perfect blinked his eyes, as if he was waiting for the man opposite to praise him well.

The man just slumped on the dining table regardless of his image, like a mackerel in a depressed mood.

"Teacher Dazai?" The boy obediently stayed by the man's side all the time, which was one of the things he often did in the library.

And Osamu Dazai was still savoring the sour taste of lemons, and hadn't met him yet, so he already guessed that the man next to his "disciple" was "his teacher".

What's more, I just faced the undisguised concern of 【Haruo Sato】.

So sour.

Can the treatment of Zai and Zai be so different?

"Teacher, take a look at what this is?" [Tanaka Hideko], who is good at taking care of Zaike's creatures, took out a dozen photos at the right time, "This is an additional gift."

Osamu Dazai, who had been soured into a mackerel, raised his head, and what he saw were pictures of slugs—the kind that flew in the air and crashed into the Hong Kong Black Building.

"The little dwarf really smashed his own building! Hahaha!" Osamu Dazai flipped through the photos with relish, seemingly in a good mood again.

Before Osamu Dazai finished appreciating each photo, there was a sudden shout from the detective agency upstairs. It sounded like the voice of Tanizaki Naomi who had just returned to the detective agency——

"Look, brother! It's that stalker!"

The author has something to say: because the reason why I started writing turned out to be covered in cherry blossoms, the famous detective Ranpo is also hiding his vest today.

Note: Edogawa Lanfeng and Edogawa Ranpo are both pen names of Hirai Taro.

The next chapter - Edogawa Ranpo who would rather be publicly executed than be interviewed by Mr. Shimazaki, and even dragged many people into the water.
