The Holy Grail of Self-discipline Xiawuren

"Magician, you haven't answered Ranpo-sama's question yet."

Edogawa Ranpo poked his head out from behind the white bull, and looked dissatisfiedly at me talking with Satoru and Atsu-kun.

"It's not magic, it's magic. It's magic that the white bull can fly in the sky, and it's magic that its tracks don't go unnoticed."

I gave the interpretation of the world's number one detective who is as persistent as a child.

"I see."

After getting the answer, Ranpo Edogawa didn't struggle with the difference between 'magic' and 'magic' like others. On the contrary, he simply put his attention back on the white bull.Just like Satoru back then, the world's number one detective wants to ride on the back of a white bull and let it fly him.

The white bull didn't do what he wished, it waved its hooves lightly, ran from the rooftop into the air, and finally disappeared from everyone's sight.

"What a stingy guy, let's go, Dunjun."

Edogawa gave me a wild look, and walked to the office of the detective agency with his younger generation.

"I just realized that 'Mr. Magician' you are so stingy~"

Enlightenment teased me with a smile, obviously he also remembered the scene when he unceremoniously drove the white bull to fly him all over the sky after seeing the white bull for the first time.

Now Edogawa Ranpo was rejected by the white bull to fly, which made Satoru feel better.

"Okay, let's go, don't make the contestants wait."

I reached out to hold his palm and led him to the stairs.

After arriving at the office of the Armed Detective Agency, the people waiting there, in addition to meeting Edogawa Ranpo and Atsukun on the rooftop, Dazai Osamu and the blond man who had met before, and a A little loli with a hairy head.

"This is Kunikida and Kyoka-chan."

Edogawa Ranpo pointed at the blond man and the little loli.

"Hey, Mr. Ranpo is too good, why don't you introduce me to the guests?"

The big man with iris eyes sighed, feeling uncomfortable for being squeezed out by his colleagues.

"This guy is Osamu Dazai, you should have seen him before."

Edogawa Ranpo ignored his colleague's performance, and casually stated the fact that I knew Osamu Dazai.

I nodded.

"I met Mr. Dazai at the same place the day Atsushi prevented the explosion from happening."

"Wow, you are indeed a 'magician', your memory is really good, can you shake my hand?"

The bandaged palm stretched out in front of me, it was Osamu Dazai.

"Sorry, I'm not used to shaking hands with men."

I didn't hold out my palm.

"Yes, if 'Mr. Magician' shakes hands with others, I will be angry~"

Satoru put his left arm around my shoulder, declaring his ownership.

"Oh, this is really unexpected."

Seeing this, Osamu Dazai withdrew his hand cooperatively.

"Okay, let's talk to 'Mr. Magician' about the 'Holy Grail War', Dun-jun, go make some tea."

Edogawa Ranpo arranged for the detective agency staff to do things in a clear and orderly manner, while he leaned on the sofa and motioned for Satoru and I to sit opposite him.

I sat down with Wu.

"Isn't the information I told Edogawa-kun on the phone just now enough?"

"Of course, you still have a lot of news about 'Magician'. For example, now you already know who are at least two of the participants?"

"Have it?"

"Of course I do, I'm not one of those 'you'll believe anything' guys around you."

Edogawa Ranpo looked at me not to be outdone.

"I'll believe anything I say." Wu tilted his head and pointed at himself.

"Detective, are you talking about me? I always feel like I've been underestimated~"

"Humph~"

It was Edogawa Ranpo's nasal voice that answered Satoru.

"Even if Edogawa-kun is now one of the seven masters, you can't underestimate Satoru because of this. The master can be changed at any time."

I squinted my eyes.

"...It's really a dangerous statement. It turns out that the 'Holy Grail War' is such a trifle, can you change the master you have decided?"

Edogawa Ranpo's expression finally became a little more serious.

"Then is 'Mr. Magician' you come to replace? It seems that 'Mr. Magician' is not one of the masters."

The world's number one detective continued to express his opinion affirmatively.

"Now we know two Masters, 'Magician' you know two other Masters, seven Masters, and now there are three unknowns, 'Magician' you are not the Master , Is it the scorekeeper? Or the referee?"

"Oops~ 'Mr. Magician' your vest is about to fall off~"

Satoru began to gloat.

I shrugged my shoulders and admitted Edogawa Ranpo's speculation very simply.

"Yes, I am not the master, but the adjudicator. The responsibilities of the adjudicator are similar to those of the referee, but not exactly the same. I can't tell you the specific details, but I can guarantee that the adjudicator will never intervene Everyone's fight."

"Adjudicator?"

Edogawa Ranpo put on a pair of black-rimmed eyes to stare at me, and took a while to take them off.

"It seems that what you said is true. I didn't expect that there would be a referee in a playful battle like the 'Holy Grail War'. So, 'Magician', as the judge, what is your judgment on the 'Holy Grail War'?" ?”

"Anomaly. If there is an anomaly in the 'Holy Grail War', then I will appear."

"What would be called abnormal?"

"For example, in a certain 'Holy Grail War', the Holy Grail, the ultimate prize for realizing wishes, was polluted, causing the wishes of the wishers to be distorted, causing the destruction of a city. Things are abnormal, and before the abnormal occurs, the adjudicator will decide whether to let the 'Holy Grail War' continue."

"May I ask what the wisher's wish is?"

Osamu Dazai, who had been lying on the sidelines for a while, stepped in.

"It's 'world peace.'"

I answered him.

"Hey?!! If it's 'world peace', why are cities destroyed?"

Dun Jun, who listened to the story for a long time with tea, was petrified.

"Didn't you just say that the Holy Grail was polluted during that war, so wishes were also distorted by the Holy Grail."

I got up and took the tableware from the silver-haired young man. He had been standing there for a long time, and the guest was very thirsty now.

"It's really a distorted way to achieve it."

Wu conveniently took the thick dim sum on the tray and put it in his mouth.

"Isn't there an adjudicator to stop that abnormal 'Holy Grail War'?"

This is Edogawa Ranpo who opened his eyes, revealing green pupils.

"The Holy Grail can really fulfill wishes? Even if it is the way to achieve world peace by destroying the world?"

This is Osamu Dazai who finally sat up straight.

"Snapped!"

The broken tip of the pen fell to the floor, and Kunikida-kun, who was writing non-stop, stood stiffly on the seat, and cold sweat began to break out from the corner of his forehead.

I choose to answer Edogawa Ranpo's question first.

"There was a referee in that abnormal 'Holy Grail War', but because of the opponent's selfishness, the 'abnormality' was concealed, which finally led to the occurrence of that disaster."

"So what happened to that favoritism referee?"

Edogawa Ranpo still opened his green eyes and analyzed my words.

"Dead, died in that war."

Then I started to answer Osamu Dazai's question.

"The Holy Grail can indeed fulfill the wishes of people. Even in that 'abnormality', the polluted Holy Grail can be regarded as the fulfillment of the wishes of the wisher. No one will naturally have no war, and there will be no war. Peace, the way to achieve the Holy Grail cannot be regarded as wrong, it can only be said to be 'the result is too distorted for human beings'."

"Then... what if you make a wish to resurrect the dead?"

Osamu Dazai, who was still optimistic about the show before, suddenly felt a little hesitant and timid at this moment, but his iris-colored eyes looked at me cautiously and expectantly.

Osamu Dazai feels very familiar to me at this moment.

'Just like when Wu first saw me on the streets of Yokohama, he was cautious but didn't dare to act rashly, nervous and happy, and treated me as cautiously as a cloud that would melt away at any time. '

'Has this guy lost someone important too? '

My silence seemed to put immense pressure on Osamu Dazai, he almost forgot to breathe, and his face became as pale as paper.

Finally, I spoke.

"If you can get the 'Holy Grail', then it will grant your wish."

"real!?"

The kite's pupils constricted, and its owner looked at me eagerly, hoping to confirm that what happened now was not his illusion or dream.

"It's true, resurrection from the dead is something that the 'Holy Grail' can do. But the premise is that Mr. Dazai, you want to get the Holy Grail that is not an 'abnormal', and the 'Holy Grail' can only grant one wish."

Osamu Dazai didn't listen to what I said later, his face was already flushed when he heard the first sentence, and he untied the bandage on his arm trembling excitedly.

"I am also the master, as long as I summon the servants, I can participate in the 'Holy Grail War', right?"

He looked expectantly at the red, wing-like imprint on the back of his hand.

"What do you need to summon a servant? Blood? How to draw a magic circle? Do I need to choose a time and place? How about a full moon night?"

I looked at Osamu Dazai, who was about to jump up happily, speechless. I didn't expect that a person who looked very reliable on the outside would actually be so escaped in private.

'It seems that the person Dazai wants to bring back from the dead is really very important to him, look at his appearance, he is so happy that he even walks like he is dancing. '

Before Dazai Osamu really ran away, Edogawa Ranpo spoke.

"Kunikida grab Dazai, don't let him get away!"

Hearing this, the blond man threw down the broken pen in his hand, and dragged Osamu Dazai back who had already jumped to the door with a sprint.

The opponent also tried to struggle.

"Let go of me, Kunikida-kun, I'm going to conduct a great experiment now, don't stop me!"

Edogawa pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose in disorder, looking at Osamu Dazai writhing in Kunikida's hands.

"Dazai, when did you get the 'admission ticket'?"
