When the footsteps gradually approached the reception room, the three people who were talking stopped at the same time and looked at the closed door.

With a "click", the door was opened.

The first person to enter the reception room was a light-colored windbreaker and a bandage-wrapped hand hanging on his side. Then Osamu Dazai, the owner of the clothes, walked in and saw the three people in the reception room who were looking at him in unison. Surprised look.

"...That's too fake, Dazai!" Kunikida Doppo got up angrily, "Where have you been these two days?!"

Osamu Dazai took two steps back, with a look of disbelief: "Of course I went to investigate the commission of the client!"

Hearing what Dazai Osamu said, Kunikida Doppo's expression became a little hesitant: "Really?"

"I'm lying to you." Osamu Dazai took out a book from his pocket, turned the cover upside down and faced the three of them, "I'm going to test the method of suicide written in this book."

On the cover of that palm-sized book, there are a few big words "Complete Suicide Manual" written impressively.

"Osamu Dazai!!!" Kunikida Doppo didn't care about Osamu Dazai's friend who was present, and at the same time when he stood up, a raging anger ignited on his back.

Seeing Ren Matsutani's eyes froze, did something appear behind Kunikida Doppo just now? Is this the real supernatural being?

Osamu Dazai kept back, and when he got to the door, he opened the door with his backhand. In a flash, Kunikida Doppo's ferocious face met the person who had just walked outside the reception room.

Kunikida Doppo: "..."

Kunikida Doppo: "...Mr. Ranpo, why are you here?"

Edogawa ranpo squinted his eyes, tilted his head and glanced at Oda Sakunosuke and Matsutani Ren who were sitting comfortably in the reception room, his eyebrows moved slightly: "You asked me to come."

Indeed... Kunikida Doppo remembered that just now he asked the Tanizaki brothers and sisters to invite Dazai Osamu or Edogawa Ranpo to the reception room.

Unexpectedly, the two of them ran over one after the other. No, Osamu Dazai must have known that Ranpo Edogawa would come over soon, so he stood by the door all the time, waiting for him to pass.

hateful!

Edogawa walked around the black-looking Doppo Kunikida, and raised his hand lazily when he passed by Osamu Dazai: "Dazai, the harvest at the port mafia is not bad."

"Nothing can be hidden from Ranpo-san." Osamu Dazai smiled.

"I don't understand what you're thinking." Edogawa Ranpo muttered in a low voice, walked to the sofa and sat down, "It's the old man from before."

Matsutani Ren looked at Oda Sakunosuke in surprise: "Oda Saku, do you know each other?"

"He is a detective from the Armed Detective Agency. I met him when the curry house had an accident before, and he reminded me that you were the one who rescued the children and the boss." After explaining to Ren Matsutani, Oda Sakunosuke turned his head Looking at Edogawa Ranpo, "Thank you for what happened last time."

Edogawa Ranbo sat cross-legged on the sofa, raised his head when he heard the words and "hummed": "I told you I'm a detective."

"Before I was ignorant, Mr. Edogawa is indeed a detective." Oda Sakunosuke said seriously.

Edogawa nodded in confusion, looked at Ren Matsutani with narrowed eyes, opened his mouth suddenly as if to say something, remembered some instructions from Fukuzawa Yukichi, and slowly closed his mouth.

—Anyway, they are two idiots, it doesn't matter whether he says it or not.

"Look, Kunikida-kun!"

Dazai Osamu, who was torn together with Kunikida Doppo for a long time, took out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket, and unfolded it to Kunikida Doppo: "Do you look like the follower described by the client?"

Kunikida paused for a while, reached out to take the paper that seemed to have been fleeing for three days and three nights, and looked at it carefully: "Like, where did you get it?"

Osamu Dazai shrugged: "It was sent by a former colleague."

Just happened to meet Ryunosuke Akutagawa, so he stopped by the port mafia, and borrowed the port mafia's information database by the way.At this time, Akutagawa Ryunosuke should have almost realized that he is not there.

Kunikida Doppo only knew that he had something to do with the Chief Farmer of the Supernatural Secret Service Division, and always thought he was a member of the Special Supernatural Special Affairs Section before, so he didn't ask further: "Thank you for your hard work this time... After that, I can't help but say "disappear." God see!"

"I know, I know." Osamu Dazai waved his hand perfunctorily.

Kunikida Doppo felt angry when he saw him like this, but not only Dazai Osamu's friends were there, but also Mr. Ranpo, he took a few deep breaths to calm down the anger in his heart.

The friends who finally met started talking in a low voice, Ren Matsutani didn't care too much after listening for a while, and looked curiously at Ranpo Edogawa who had already started to unpack the snacks.

Kunikida Doppo is asking Edogawa Ranpo about his business trip.

"Strawberry cake is delicious, what about the case..." Edogawa Ranpo curled his lips, "The description is so bizarre, but it's actually just because the murderer is a curse spirit. They should go to the magician, not the detective."

Although in the end the crime spirit was still solved by Kenji Miyazawa with a magic tool.

The conjurer present heard the resentment in the detective's tone, and blinked silently.

Unexpectedly, the world's number one detective suddenly opened his eyes, and the two pairs of emerald green pupils looked at each other for a moment.

"It turned out to be you." Edogawa Ranpo stopped eating his snacks and sat up straight excitedly, "Strange, how did you do it..."

No matter what he thought, Edogawa Ranpo couldn't figure out how the not very strong young man in front of him broke into the super magic spirits by himself, and coaxed them to trust him very much.

The more he thought about it, the more interesting he found it, and he didn't think that conjurers were troublesome, so he reached for the glasses in his pocket.

Matsutani Ren listened to his nonsensical words without knowing why.

"Mr. Ranpo." Kenji Miyazawa pushed open the door of the reception room with both hands, and was startled when he saw so many people in the room, "There are so many people...Mr. Ranpo, President, please go over."

Edogawa Ranpo put down his hand in an instant, and just before he got up and was about to leave, his eyes swept between Matsutani Ren and Oda Sakunosuke, and finally fell on Matsutani Ren.

"Okay, for the sake of your being interesting..." Edogawa ran his arms akimbo, "Idiot, really an idiot, think about it carefully!"

After he finished speaking, he walked and ran away. Matsutani Ren was thrown a head full of "stupid", confused, turned his head and looked at Oda Sakunosuke blankly.

Osamu Dazai watched this scene, a dark light flashed in his eyes.

After Edogawa Ranpo left, Kunikida Doppo didn't sit for a long time, and he didn't have much time to relax according to the itinerary in his notebook.

"It's already noon." Oda Sakunosuke glanced at the time, "Dazai, are you free for lunch?"

"There's nothing like eating curry." Osamu Dazai propped his chin.

Oda Sakunosuke: "...I don't eat curry." Osamu Dazai obviously had an attitude that he could eat anything but curry, and he asked, "Matsutani, do you have anything you want to eat?"

There is also a graduation ceremony in the afternoon. I don't know how long it will take, so let's have something hearty at noon.

"Let's go to Chinatown." Matsutani Ren shook off the unpleasant experience of eating Chinese food last time, "I haven't eaten Chinese food for a long time."

Oda Sakunosuke nodded without objection: "Then let's go to Chinatown."

----

Matsutani Ren asked the waiter to add another crab roe bun.

After the waiter left, Ren Matsutani looked at Osamu Dazai who was slowly wiping his fingers with a tissue.It's completely impossible to tell that Osamu Dazai likes to eat crab roe buns so much. It's really the right time for them to come to Chinatown.

Osamu Dazai didn't pay attention to Matsutani Ren's gaze, his gaze swept past the glass window.

"What bad luck."

Osamu Dazai glanced at the empty steamer, raised his eyes and said, "I have to go first, there are slimy slugs outside."

A question mark slowly appeared above Ren Matsutani's head: "What slug?"

"A little dwarf who hurts to beat people." Osamu Dazai twitched the corner of his mouth and said suddenly, "By the way, they seemed to be looking for you before."

"Me?" Ren Matsutani confirmed that Osamu Dazai was referring to him, "Who is looking for me?"

He suddenly realized that Osamu Dazai was talking about port mafia, right...

"Port mafia." Dazai Osamu's next words confirmed Matsutani Ren's thoughts, and he quickly glanced out of the window again, his eyes paused.

"It's troublesome now."

Oda Sakunosuke also secretly looked into Dazai Osamu's line of sight.

Zhongyuan Zhongyuan walked in the front of the Chinatown full of red lanterns, with his hands in his pockets, looking casually at the surrounding shops.Akutagawa Ryunosuke walked about half a step behind him, although his face was expressionless, there was a faint reluctance.

Guangjin Liulang walked unhurriedly behind the two of them, without squinting, not paying any attention to the strange gazes of passers-by.

Tachihara Michizo and Gin walked side by side, only Tachihara Michizo kept talking, and the masked black-haired killer was silent.

Although Dazai Osamu and Oda Sakunosuke's gazes were very covert, they still caught the attention of Nakahara Chuya, and the Gravity Master frowned and kept looking at the surrounding shops.

At this moment, a girl in a professional suit in front of the Chinese restaurant where Matsutani Ren and others were dining suddenly stood on tiptoe, waved and shouted: "Senior, here!"

"...It's so noisy." Akutagawa Ryunosuke's impatient expression became more and more obvious.

Nakahara was also looking for a familiar line of sight, when he heard Higuchi Ichiyo's voice, he looked directly over, his gaze swept across a row of transparent glass.

There is nothing strange about people.

"Is it an illusion?" Zhongyuan Zhongyuan whispered to himself.

"Master Chuya?"

Zhongyuan Zhong also raised his eyes, and Guangjin Liulang was looking at him inquiringly, "It's okay, go in, the leader will be here in a while."

A group of port mafia walked into the Chinese restaurant.

On the other side, the three who temporarily changed seats were sitting in a box on the second floor. Osamu Dazai shook his chopsticks and picked up the crab roe bun.

"It doesn't matter, they left after eating." Osamu Dazai puffed his cheeks, "But I have been back to Yokohama for two months, and it was the first time I met people from Port Mafia to come out together."

"Is Mercury retrograde?"

Matsutani Ren lowered her head guiltily.
