Hearing Oda Sakunosuke's answer, the thoughts circling in his mind instantly flew out of the sky, and Matsutani Ren said worriedly: "No, Oda Saku."

"I've always had this thought, maybe in the end your daily pocket money won't even be enough for a curry meal."

"..." Now, Oda Sakunosuke, who had paused for a moment when he heard the previous sentence, fell silent.

"……probably not."

Matsutani Ren felt something was wrong. Oda Sakunosuke's answer obviously meant that such a specific person had already appeared, so he would roughly answer the question based on that person's personality.

A roar came from nowhere, Matsutani Ren's heart beat a little faster, but the blood on his face gradually faded: "You have already—"

"What's wrong with you?" Oda Sakunosuke stepped forward suddenly, and after a moment of staggered breathing, he knelt on the bed, frowning slightly and quickly checked his pulse and heartbeat.

Ren Matsutani calmed down inexplicably, Oda Sakunosuke was very concerned about him, and they were very good friends.

It's normal for friends to be possessive - Matsutani Ren should have told himself this, but he is not an idiot, just now when he guessed that Oda Sakunosuke might already have a crush, the sourness spewed from the depths of his heart , panic, and jealousy made it impossible for him to ignore them.

Ren Matsutani was a little bit dumbfounded.

What the hell... While realizing that I like a friend, I also realize that the friend has a crush. Isn't this really a plot that only happens in vulgar TV dramas?

"Pine Valley."

Oda Sakunosuke, who was very close to him, raised his eyes and looked at him in a near-dark environment, his azure blue pupils reflected a faint light, and there was undisguised worry in the depths: "Is there any discomfort? "

Being friends all the time seems to be the best way to deal with it.Matsutani Ren suppressed the discomfort in her heart and raised a smile: "Just now I suddenly realized that there is a game that has not been signed in, and I was shocked."

He didn't tell the truth, Oda Sakunosuke knew this very well, but the sudden change of Matsutani Ren's face just now really worried him, Oda Sakunosuke was not going to continue to test.

Oda Sakunosuke straightened his legs and lay back.Matsutani Ren by her side had already turned over, and the phone screen lit up again, and there was a slight knocking sound of fingers tapping on the screen from time to time.

After the air was quiet for a while, Oda Sakunosuke remembered that Matsutani Ren seemed to want to ask him something, but was interrupted by him.

"Matsutani, what did you want to ask me just now?"

Matsutani Ren, who seemed to be immersed in the game, replied smoothly: "Ah, I have forgotten, it shouldn't be important, right, I will ask you when I remember."

Oda Sakunosuke turned his head and glanced at his back: "Well, good night."

"Good night."

……

He seemed to be dreaming.

Ren Matsutani clearly felt that he was dreaming. In the dream, he was lying on the bed, facing Sakunosuke Oda, which was the scene before going to bed.

"Have you been bullied?"

Oda Sakunosuke lowered his eyes and lowered his voice, as if he didn't want to be heard: "It's okay."

Hearing Oda Sakunosuke's answer for the second time, Matsutani Ren realized that Oda Sakunosuke was a little embarrassed at this time, and his eyes were a little dodge.

Do you like that person that much...

Everything in the dream was magnified, jealousy and grievance were two entangled giant snakes, gnawing at his reason inch by inch.

Anyway, he was dreaming, and at the same time as this thought flashed by, Ren Matsutani heard her calm voice: "No way, Odasaku."

Without the last sentence in reality, Oda Sakunosuke was a little confused, so he looked over: "Why do you say that?"

Ren Matsutani smiled, propped her arms on the bed, leaned her upper body over, and grabbed the collar of Oda Sakunosuke's home clothes with the other hand.

"Don't like that person, like me, I won't bully you."

In fact, Ren Matsutani's fingers trembled a little, but he knew very well that this was just a dream, and the real Oda Sakunosuke would not know what he did in the dream, so let him be unscrupulous in the dream.

In the shocked eyes of Oda Sakunosuke, Ren Matsutani closed her eyes and shortened the distance with him again.

The breaths were really intertwined, Ren Matsutani smelled the shaving water that was always kept in the Yokohama apartment, it was slightly bitter but very fresh, a bit like Oda Sakunosuke.

It turned out that Oda Sakunosuke's lips were also soft, as soft as cotton candy.

After just touching for a moment, Matsutani Ren backed away, his cheeks were burning red, and he lost his composure before. Facing the expressionless face of Oda Sakunosuke, he nervously tightened the cloth under his hand : "Should I shave my beard before going to bed?"

Oda Sakunosuke seemed to smile and said something.

But the dream was completely distorted by Ren Matsutani's nervousness, and he asked anxiously, "What did you say? Oda Saku, what did you just say?"

A voice in the bottom of my heart told Matsutani Ren that what Oda Sakunosuke said was very important to him, so he must listen clearly.

But the more anxious he was, the faster the dream collapsed.

Ren Matsutani opened her eyes suddenly, Oda Sakunosuke was leaning against the head of the bed, with a notebook in his hand, he heard the movement and looked over: "You're awake."

"What did you just say?" Ren Matsutani sat up quickly, pressed her palm on Oda Sakunosuke's chest, and stared closely at Oda Sakunosuke's lips.

Oda Sakunosuke closed the cap of the pen and repeated inexplicably, "Are you awake?"

"No!" Matsutani Ren patted Oda Sakunosuke's chest angrily, "It's not this."

Oda Sakunosuke didn't understand even more. After Matsutani Ren woke up, he only said this sentence.

Seeing that Sakunosuke Oda didn't understand, Ren Matsutani could only explain in more detail: "Just last night, I—"

No, the fact that he kissed Oda Sakunosuke forcibly didn't happen in reality, it was a dream, and the words he didn't hear were also spoken by Oda Sakunosuke in the dream.

"Huh?" Oda Sakunosuke was waiting for Matsutani Ren to continue, but saw that his cheeks were gradually turning red, and his eyes moved away in a panic.

"It's nothing." Matsutani Ren flattened herself, "I remember wrongly, I need to sleep for a while."

Sleep for a while, and settle accounts with Oda Sakunosuke in the dream.

"...Did you shave last night?" Before going to settle accounts in the dream, Matsutani Ren thought of the smell of shaving water lingering in her breath in the dream.

The hand holding the notebook tightened for a moment, Oda Sakunosuke nodded: "Scratch."

Matsutani Ren looked over suspiciously: "Do you still have to shave before going to bed?"

Sometimes people who can't shave cleanly when they wake up in the morning have a smooth chin in their dreams... I think the real Oda Sakunosuke last night is the same!

"...I'll try to see if I'm allergic." Oda Sakunosuke replied calmly.

Matsutani Ren was dubious: "It turns out that's the case."

Oda Sakunosuke tentatively asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing! I'm going to sleep!" After he finished speaking in a nasty voice, he turned over in a big noise, turned his back to Oda Sakunosuke, and closed his eyes in anger.

Oda Sakunosuke was left alone, puzzled by everything that happened in the early morning.

----

When driving to the Armed Detective Agency, Ren Matsutani was still so angry that his chest was stuffy. After he fell asleep again in the morning, he didn't find the Oda Sakunosuke in his dream. Instead, he kept thinking about what Oda Sakunosuke said.

As a result, when he woke up, he didn't feel refreshed as he should have woken up, but instead had a dull pain in his head.

He stared at Sakunosuke Oda again: "Why don't you shave?"

Oda Sakunosuke: "...forgot."

It wasn't until the car stopped downstairs of the Armed Detective Agency that Ren Matsutani saw the somewhat familiar coffee shop on the second floor before being distracted.

The downstairs of Dazai Osamu's new workplace turned out to be the place where Xia Youjie talked with him before.

"The world is so small." Matsutani Ren couldn't help sighing.

Oda Sakunosuke nodded: "But the Armed Detective Agency is pretty good, and Dazai works very well here."

Ren Matsutani still didn't want to talk to Sakunosuke Oda, and didn't want to be asked what's wrong, so she nodded indiscriminately to deal with him.

The two went upstairs together and walked to the door of the Armed Detective Agency.

Oda Sakunosuke knocked on the door, there was a sound of footsteps inside, and the girl in JK uniform opened the door with a smile: "This is the Armed Detective Agency, what do you need? Ah, it's Mr. Dazai's friend who came yesterday." !"

"Excuse me, is Dazai here today?" Oda Sakunosuke asked.

The girl's expression was a bit tangled: "Mr. Dazai didn't come, but... you guys come in first, Mr. Ranpo will come over after a while."

If Dazai Osamu is not here, then Oda Sakunosuke came here specially to find Edogawa Ranpo.

Ren Matsutani did not speak, walked beside Sakunosuke Oda, and observed the small reception room with the mentality of a tourist.

JK, who opened the door just now, went to pour tea for them. Matsutani Ren leaned into Oda Sakunosuke's ear and whispered, "Is the world's number one detective working here?"

It was actually a little itchy to breathe on the tips of the ears, but Oda Sakunosuke listened without moving, and replied in a low voice: "Yes."

Ren Matsutani nodded thoughtfully. There must be something special about a detective agency that can keep the world's best detective from quitting.

"I've been waiting for a long time, please have some tea." JK put two cups of hot tea on the tea table, "My name is Naomi Tanizaki, and I'm right next to you. Call me if you need anything."

The two nodded in unison. After Tanizaki Naomi left, Matsutani Ren took a sip of hot tea cautiously, thinking that drinking such hot tea on such a hot day might be the uniqueness of the detective agency.

On the other side, Tanizaki Naomi, who came back to the office, threw herself on Tanizaki Junichiro, squinted her eyes and rubbed her eyes: "Yesterday, Mr. Dazai's friend came over, and brought another person, and I made them all steaming tea! Brother , Naomi did a good job, right?"

"How can you make hot tea in summer..." Junichiro Tanizaki choked out a sentence when he was about to suffocate.

Tanizaki Naomi opened her eyes blankly: "Yes."

It's summer.

Kunikida Doppo frowned, closed his notebook, and said in a deep voice, "I'm going to entertain Dazai's friends. If that bastard Dazai or Mr. Ranpo comes back, I invite them to the reception room."

The siblings nodded obediently.

Kunikida Doppo left the office with two bottles of mineral water, knocked on the door of the reception room twice, then opened the door and walked in.

At the same time, the sound of brisk footsteps slowly ascended to the third floor.
