What you don't want to lose must be taken.Everything worth pursuing is doomed to be lost the moment it is obtained.And now, I feel this kind of piercing pain.

Agency No. [-] was quite efficient in approving this file. The documents submitted in the morning were reviewed in the afternoon.Ango Sakaguchi picked up the file bag and went to the western restaurant.

The journey was not far away. When Ango Sakaguchi arrived at the western restaurant, he asked the boss for a glass of whiskey.

He drank whiskey here for the first time.

Drinking alcohol during working hours is not a habit of Ango Sakaguchi, but today is a special day.

In the past, three people got together to drink boiled water. At that time, they all came to see each other after busy work, so they had no time to do things that would delay work.

The afternoon sun is slightly yellow, and the western restaurant is also warm and sunny, making people drowsy.

Ango sat where they used to sit, watching the boss busy while gossiping.

"Oda said that there will be patients who have just been discharged from the hospital in the afternoon, so let me prepare some milder ones. Ango-kun, have you just been discharged from the hospital?"

Ango Sakaguchi suddenly understood.

"It's not me, it's another one. It should be coming soon."

Not long after, the door of the western restaurant was pushed open.

Oda was standing at the door with his bags and bags, and beside him stood a curvy black-haired man in a sand-colored windbreaker.

Ango Sakaguchi stood up from his seat, his face twitching a bit—although he had already guessed it.

Oda put down the things in his hands and looked at Ango, "Why are you here at this time? Shouldn't you be working? This is—"

"It is indeed work." Ango Sakaguchi rolled his eyes and interrupted Oda's words. He stretched out his right hand to Osamu Dazai, "There is no need for an introduction. I have met Mr. Dazai once."

Ango Sakaguchi participated in that conversation on the cruise four years ago.

"Indeed." Dazai said with a smile, "Long time no see."

Ango picked up the file bag from the table and handed it to Osamu Dazai, "Well, Mr. Dazai, this is your new file, please open it for confirmation. In addition, this is your identity certificate. But I am still looking for your job, Wait until I notify you."

Osamu Dazai, who was written on the certificate, was an ordinary college student who had just graduated from the University of Tokyo.

Osamu Dazai sneered, "Why, did your Supernatural Secret Service find this place so quickly?"

"That's not the case." Ango Sakaguchi announced calmly, "It was confirmed by the Supernatural Special Affairs Division and reported to the Ministry of Internal Affairs: the former port Mafia chief Osamu Dazai fell to his death, and Mr. Osamu Dazai, a graduate of the University of Tokyo, was invited by the Yokohama government to come to Yokohama to participate in the construction of Yokohama. .”

This time it was Odasaku and Dazai's turn to be quiet.

This is?

Dazai Osamu and Oda Saku looked at each other and opened the file bag.

From when he woke up to now, someone had arranged everything for him.

"It's so clean." Osamu Dazai flipped through the pages one by one, "I can't find all the things I did before. I am completely an ordinary person." Dazai's tone had a trace of nostalgia, "I can't find anything I did back then. It's not here."

"Is there something memorable about it?" Oda asked.

"Of course not! It was a matter of overtime." Ango Sakaguchi took a sip of whiskey and looked at Osamu Dazai who was flipping through his portfolio.It's okay not to mention this matter, as long as he thinks that since the chief took office, his workload has more than doubled, and he can't help but want to complain, those are really bad memories, think so Then, Ango Sakaguchi blurted out, "I hope the next leader will not be like you, please!"

As soon as the words came out, the three of them froze.

This kind of atmosphere, as if they have known each other for many years, getting along with each other is naturally relaxed and familiar.Here they meet, talk, and laugh like old friends who haven't seen each other in years.

If only I could die like this.

Dazai leaned on the table and laughed softly.

This is all true, and something to look forward to.

What Dazai had been looking forward to all the time in his heart, this kind of thing, like the fireworks that suddenly appeared on the sky curtain, was eye-catching.

"Dazai, are you uncomfortable?" Odasaku looked at Dazai with a puzzled expression.

"No, I just think it would be great if I could die now."

"What a pity. This is impossible, Oda will definitely stop you." Ango Sakaguchi stood up, "I have to go back to work, let's get together next time."

"The next time we get together, we will have to wait until the summer festival." Oda raised his glass, "Cheers, for the next time we meet."

"Well, that's right."

"Ding--"

Ango Sakaguchi put down his cup and walked towards the door.On the contrary, Dazai suddenly became excited, "Yes, I should also go to see the work with Sakaguchi-kun, then Sakaguchi-kun, let's go."

"Aren't you still looking for it?" Oda asked.

While speaking, Dazai followed Sakaguchi Ango to the door, the door closed slowly, and Dazai and Ango stood in front of the car.

……

"Is this arranged by Hoshino?"

"It's a deal." An Wu stood on the side of the car door with his hands down, his tone was cold, "The corresponding price, the corresponding gain." He tried his best to suppress himself, not to show any emotion.

Osamu Dazai suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

"What's the price for such a harvest?" Dazai stared into Ango's eyes, "What do you want from the Supernatural Secret Service?"

"I can't tell."

"That's how it is." Osamu Dazai put his hands in his pockets, turned around and took two steps to distance himself, "Let me tell you, you nod. You know my past experience, and you should understand my methods."

"..."

"The deal between Hoshino and the government is that she goes to Canada to complete this task, and you have to confirm the death of Osamu Dazai, the leader of the port mafia."

"Ah."

"This mission is very difficult. I don't know the information. The other party probably sent some threatening news. This incident touched the bottom line of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"……Um."

"She sent a message yesterday, and the task is completed."

"..."

The evening wind blew the leaves around, replacing the conversation between them.

Dazai's hands in his pockets suddenly contracted into fists, and the color of his lips faded before he knew it.

Ango Sakaguchi pursed his lower lip, "She is missing. The plane crashed in the Pacific Ocean. We don't know the exact location."

"You don't want to know either." Dazai pointed out this point indifferently, "When did it happen?"

"Yesterday, midnight.

"Someone sent threatening emails to the government, and threatening incidents also occurred. The Ministry of the Interior handed this matter over to the Supernatural Secret Service Division, but Mingming Hoshino only needs to investigate the flight number, and she doesn't have to do it by herself, but she must Take this thing down."

Dazai didn't want to hear about the incident at all, he could roughly guess, "So no one is looking for it if it's missing?"

"The Ministry of the Interior has given up on her. The Ministry of the Interior has suspected her since she asked to withdraw the agents who watched her a few years ago."

Osamu Dazai did not speak, the gas twitched in his chest, choked in his throat, and his mind went blank.But his expression was as calm as the slightly cold lake water in early winter, calm and calm.

It started from the summer festival three years ago.At that time, he was still the leader of the port mafia. Once he was discovered by the Supernatural Secret Service, especially other organizations, it was inevitable that no one would set up an ambush on the road.

But he often went to Hoshino's place in order to exercise Atsushi Nakajima and calculate Hoshino, and he sat there for an afternoon.

Why did she take the initiative to stop the people from the Supernatural Secret Service Section?

Sakaguchi Ango sighed, took out the recorder and put it in Dazai's palm.

"This is the recording of that informal meeting. Maybe it can be kept as a souvenir."

Osamu Dazai sneered, "Speaking of which, I should also thank you."

Ango Sakaguchi was not in the mood to play this kind of game with Dazai. He watched and drank today and left by train.

Osamu Dazai turned on the recording device and put it next to his ear. Ango Sakaguchi cut off the extra waiting time and left the key points of the conversation between the two.

——"After the incident, Yokohama will be safe and sound, the authority of the government will still be in hand, the members of the secret service team will be zero loss, and the status of the Ability Secret Service Division will also rise. Does Chief Farmer think this is uneconomical?"

——"Anyway, Dazai Osamu, who was a port mafia, has fallen to his death. But the Chief Farmer has already signed it."

——"Of course I know, otherwise how could I make these requests. The files reviewed and approved by the No. [-] agency are safer than those forged by the mafia. It can be said that no matter whether I agree to the Supernatural Secret Service or not, the only person who can solve this matter is me."

Dazai heard it.

The tone in the recording ranges from handy to exhausted, as if there is a hint of relief but despair.

Obviously so sad, but pretending to be okay to negotiate, and even made such a decision.

Osamu Dazai took out his phone and dialed Chuya, "Chuya, Hoshino didn't go to Canada, she crashed in the center of the Pacific Ocean, you send someone to look for it

she. "

"What are you bastard talking about? She wrote me herself telling me she was going on vacation, and how could someone like her put herself—"

Zhong Yuanzhong was also stunned for a moment, "I'll give you an order now, and you can explain to me what's going on later. What are her coordinates?"

"do not know."

"What? Are you kidding me? How can I find someone in the sea without coordinates?"

……

There was silence on both ends of the phone, and both parties seemed to have calmed down—if the plane crashed at sea, the chances of survival were almost zero.

What else are they looking for?

"...Chuya, let's look for it."

Dazai's voice was barely audible.

"...Let's look for it, Chuya."

The phone was blank for a moment, and Chuya Zhongya's voice came over, "I have given the order, and the people have been dispatched immediately. Wait for the news. We'd better meet at night, and you'd better explain this matter clearly. "

"Okay, let's go to Hoshino's flower shop, I'm going somewhere else now—"

There, organizations have to stay away.

Suddenly footsteps came from behind him, so he hung up the phone.

"Ha! Mr. Detective is right, he just came at this time, so we just happened to run into each other."

Osamu Dazai turned his head in response, only to see two familiar people.

No, to be precise, it was someone he was familiar with in the main world.

In this world, they just met for the first time, so the three looked at each other quietly.

"Seeing something, Oda also ran out," said the president.Who is this--"

Fukuzawa Yukichi waved his hand, "The famous detective has already told the president!" Edogawa Ranpo stood beside Fukuzawa Yukichi and said to Oda.

Osamu Dazai looked at Fukuzawa Yukichi, "What's the matter with you?"

Intuitively, Dazai thought it had something to do with him.

"Someone recommended to me that if you come to Oda this evening, you will meet someone who has most of the information resources in this city. I think this person is you. Would you like to join us?"

really.

This matter could not escape his conjecture.

From the successive arrangements of his waking up, Dazai guessed that this scene would happen, and probably the timing of Ango Sakaguchi's appearance was also planned by Hoshino.

After learning about her, join the detective agency.

Dazai suddenly felt that this scene was too familiar, as if it had appeared in his mind millions of times.During countless hours of quiet nights, he sat alone in the office, imagining the people in the plan and the future of this world.

This scene is the future he envisioned for Hoshino.

Hoshino Kiyoi returned this idea to him.

"Let me think about it for a few days." Dazai Osamu said to Fukuzawa Yukichi with a smile, "I want to go out for a while. I will seriously consider your invitation. After a few days, I will definitely give you an answer."

Fukuzawa Yukichi nodded, bid farewell to Oda and left with Edogawa in disorder.

Odasaku looked at Dazai, "Did something happen? The president invited you to join the detective agency? It's a good thing."

He looked at the person standing opposite him, Dazai suddenly didn't know what to say.

Is it "Hoshino lied to us, she didn't go to Canada." Or "I have something to do, let's go out first and come back later."?

But Osamu Dazai said nothing.

He didn't look directly into Odasaku's eyes, but Odasaku could see Dazai's embarrassment, he patted Dazai's shoulder, and said to him: "If you have anything to do, go ahead and do it, I'll go back first."

"Ah."

Dazai watched Odasaku walk into the restaurant and walked towards the shop in a daze.

He knows where it is, he has already printed the map of this area in his mind, no matter what area he starts from, he knows which road will reach the store the fastest.

The surrounding shops were all lit up, but his destination was dark.

Osamu Dazai walked over, took out a paper clip from his pocket, pushed the door open and turned on the light, all in one go.

The sound insulation effect of the store is very good, the noise outside is completely isolated, and the ears are quiet.The bright yellow light diffused into the room, and there was only a layer of almost invisible fluff falling on the glass table, not even dust, as if the store would still be open for business tomorrow, the owner would open the curtain, stick his head out from inside, and smile. Greet customers who enter the store.

Lights illuminate every corner of this room, shining everywhere, as real as a fairy tale in a dream.The paper cranes hanging in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows have faded in color, but they flap their wings stubbornly. As long as the witch casts a spell, they can immediately fly into the dream.

Osamu Dazai took off his coat as usual and put it on the back of the chair. Suddenly, he seemed to hear Kiyoi Hoshino's voice from behind: "Dazai, do you want a glass of lemon sake?"

He turned his head and locked his eyes tightly there.

The room was quiet, the floor-to-ceiling windows reflected the indoor scene, and he was the only one.

Osamu Dazai suddenly laughed at himself, and the surroundings were extremely quiet.

Like waking up from a big dream.

In this dream, he lost the most important thing to him.

……

When Chuya Nakahara appeared in the store, Koyo Ozaki followed behind. After the three nodded to each other, Osamu Dazai put the recording player on the table.

After a long time, Koyo Ozaki pursed her lower lip, and looked at Dazai with a pitiful expression, "This—" she took a breath, "—it must be love."

A tear fell from her eye into the folds of the kimono and disappeared.

Then suddenly she burst into tears, tears streaming down her face.

She remembered four years ago in midsummer, she and Hoshino Kiyoi were also sitting here, and Hoshino answered her question with a smile.

"Hoshino, you actually want to go on like this forever, right? You just stand aside and want to stay by his side."

"Ah."

At that time, Hoshino Kiyoi answered like this.

And that promise can no longer be fulfilled.

The author has something to say:

There are still a few chapters left and the book is over, sugar is in another book.Pre-sale: "After falling in love with the leader Jae"

【Bitter first, then sweet, two-way redemption】

When Kiyoi Hoshino appeared in front of Osamu Dazai again, she was still as calm as ever.

But under the calm surface, there are undercurrents and turbulent currents. If you are not careful, you will die instantly.

When Osamu Dazai realized the danger, Kiyoi Hoshino had already sunk to the bottom of the water, and she didn't even call for help.

Osamu Dazai thought, since this is the case, then he should go and accompany her.That was the way she had brought him into the sun.

It was right for him to bring her back.

Going around, whether intentionally or not, they have long been entangled with each other and cannot be separated from each other.

——"Dazai, where have you been?"

——"Going out to buy breakfast, why did Qing Yi suddenly wake up so early today?

——"I don't know, I just want to be by his side."

——"There's no way, Qing Yi always does things so impulsively, there must be someone watching her."

—— "Qing Yi, let's get married."

--"……Um!"

Like is a gust of wind, love is a long stream of water.

The sugar content in this book may exceed the standard, please read with caution.Once it is stolen, the author is not responsible.

Hoshino Kiyoi: "Just lie, we have always been plain."

Osamu Dazai: "Sure enough, this author is good at making such noises. It seems that the interrogation team should do it."

A certain author: "Don't lie, you are not the leader now, don't scare people. Ah... wait! I refuse you two together! Ah——"
