Gunslinger from Butei

In the evening, Oda Sakunosuke completed the task assigned to him today.

He touched the pocket of the windbreaker, and was surprised to find that he still had some spare money in his pocket, so he decided to go to the LUPIN bar for a drink.

Passing through the deep and dark alleyway like a giant mouth, and walking towards the steps leading to the underground, he pushed open the heavy wooden bar door.

In the not-so-large space, two guests were already seated.

The girl with long black hair had a smell of gunpowder that had not yet faded, and there were some obvious blood spatters on the hem of her skirt.At this moment, he was facing away from him, lying on the bar table and playing with a glass, while a young man with fluffy and slightly curly black hair was circling around the girl expectantly.

"Pomegranate juice!" "Switch to blood plasma, how about type O blood?"

"Peppermint wine!" "Well...household disinfectant."

"Blue Joe Liquor!" "Toilet cleaner, your favorite."

The youth cheered loudly: "Long live the rainbow cocktail~~~Long live Haiyin~~~"

"This is really rare." The red-brown-haired young man opened his eyes slightly and said in surprise because he saw someone unexpected, "Did you come back from there early, Haiyin."

The black-haired girl turned her head when she heard the sound, a pair of gloomy green eyes lit up when she saw Oda Sakunosuke: "Oda Saku!"

"Ah, good evening, Odasaku." Beside the girl, a young man in a sand-colored long trench coat turned the chair half a circle and sat on it, with a pair of long legs crossed casually, holding a glass of colorful cocktail in his hand, The kite-colored eyes greeted him with a smile, "I just came here casually, today is really lucky."

"Good evening, Kaiyin, Dazai. What are you doing?" Oda Sakunosuke pulled out the chair and sat beside the girl.

"I'm bartending." Oda Haiyin returned to his previous decadent posture.With her chin resting on one hand, she pointed lazily at someone who was drinking with her head up, "Oda-ryu's special rainbow cocktail. Dazai strongly requested it."

"Hmm..." The young man fell down with a blue face when he put down the cup, "It's so bitter..."

"Ten times concentrated bitter gourd juice, today's special." Oda Haiyin finally showed a smile, and whispered gloatingly, "Toilet cleaners, of course, are disguised with food coloring to deceive you!"

"Wuuuu Odasaku, did you hear that! She said she was lying! It turned out to be a lie..." Osamu Dazai burst into tears, his whole face puffed up, and he complained to his friend tearfully.

"Dazai... Suicide is not good." Oda Sakunosuke sat calmly and watched the conversation between the two, and then replied slowly after hearing the words.

"Is this the problem?!" The young man was shocked.

"What's the problem?" With a low magnetic voice, a young man wearing glasses, carrying a briefcase and dressed like a social animal joined the conversation.

"Ango!" Osamu Dazai suddenly stood up as if he had found a backer, "Come and criticize Odasaku! He actually teamed up with the children at home to bully me!"

"Really?" The young man's face suddenly became serious, he pondered for a moment, and asked cautiously, "What way? Can you add me?"

"That's it, it's bullying! Have I been bullied?!" Osamu Dazai was wronged, Osamu Dazai refused to accept, and Osamu Dazai yelled loudly, his childishness has reached the level of anyone who has heard of this man's bloody and dark past People in the past would want to poke their eyes blind when they saw it.

"Mr. Sakaguchi." It was Oda Haiyin, who straightened up when he saw Ango Sakaguchi approaching, and greeted seriously.

"Good evening, Haiyin. So, what's the purpose of calling me here?" Ango Sakaguchi pushed down his glasses, moved a chair and sat opposite the girl.

Unlike the relaxation when facing a friend, this young man who is much older than Oda Kaiyin has a serious attitude. It doesn't feel like he is facing a friend's child, but more like a job-hunting social person seeing the interviewer , There is an unconcealable tension.

"About the answer to a question." The girl shook the glass in her hand, looked at Oda Sakunosuke and Dazai Osamu who were sitting on the left and right, hesitated for a moment, and asked directly, "I remember hearing Dazai mention it before. Your life experience, your Supernatural Secret Service Division has been investigating. What is the result."

"...Did something happen?" Ango Sakaguchi pushed down his glasses, his tone a bit embarrassed, "There is no result - if this is what you want to know. From the comprehensive information of all aspects, the earliest record of your appearance It was a coast in Yokohama. Not long after, you were picked up by the director of the orphanage who was walking by when you were still a baby, and he took you back to raise you.

"Tsk." Oda Haiyin's face darkened.

"Oh, my pretty face is getting wrinkled." Osamu Dazai poked the girl's cheek with his hand as if it was amused, and said with a low smile, "Since you are starting to have doubts about your own life experience, why do you ask Ango?" What? As a member of the Armed Detective Agency, shouldn't you have better options?"

"Even Ranpo-san, you can't do without clues." The girl said unhappily, "Aren't I looking for clues now? Mr. Sakaguchi's [Fallen Theory] is a very convenient ability. So don't lie to me, you Must have gone? The orphanage I was in when I was a child."

Due to certain things in childhood, there was an unpleasant intersection between Oda Haiyin and the Supernatural Secret Service Division.If it wasn't for the adoptive father, Oda Sakunosuke, who later joined the Armed Detective Agency and was sheltered by the president Fukuzawa Yukichi, she might not have been able to live and grow up normally like she is now.

Sakaguchi Ango stopped talking. He glanced at Osamu Dazai who was smiling beside him, sighed, and simply revealed the truth: "No really. I admit that I was once sent by the Supernatural Secret Service to go on a business trip there... ...But when I wanted to use my supernatural powers, I found out that the orphanage was sponsored by an unknown kind person at some point, and it was renovated from the beginning to the end. All traces of information about you, a little There's nothing left."

Oda Haiyin opened his eyes wide.

At the first moment, she subconsciously looked at Osamu Dazai next to her.

"Oh, who did it, is it you, Odasaku?" An older but still wicked man with iris eyes teased her pretendingly.

Oda Haiyin curled his lips, followed his gaze to look at Oda Sakunosuke.

The red-brown-haired young man was silent for a while, then said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, Hai Yin. At that time, Dazai and I did a little more to protect your ability information from being leaked... Are there any important memories of you in it? "

"Not at all! So—" The black-haired girl was speechless, and it took her a long time to get her mood together, before she sighed slightly, "If this is the case, the clues are broken again."

The swaddling clothes I wore when I was a baby, or anything I carried on my body at that time... If you can use Ango Sakaguchi's "Theory of Fall" to extract the memories left on the objects, you can probably draw specific conclusions quickly.but now……

The girl is depressed.Affected by her, although it was rare to get together, the other three did not stay for long.

Ango Sakaguchi originally only took time out at her request, and will continue to go back to work overtime.Osamu Dazai, who was relatively idle, followed the Oda father and daughter home with ease.

The three of them walked along the beach in Yokohama for a while. Seeing that she was really distressed, Osamu Dazai suddenly "kindly" comforted her: "If Hai Yin wants to find clues, it is to prove that you are from a different world. If so, it doesn’t have to be so troublesome.”

Oda Haiyin suddenly raised his head: "...!! How do you know!!"

Osamu Dazai looked at the girl's eyes wide open in a loss of composure, and smiled happily: "You don't really think that the wardrobe passage leading to another world...is because you went to see it with Oda Saku on your birthday. Didn’t the birthday present appear only after watching The Legend of Naoya?”

Oda Haiyin stared at him: "Do you have any comments on "Legend of Naoya"?"

"No. It's just that, at best, that adventure movie just changed the expression of the channel. The one who really connects the two worlds...is you, Haiyin." The young man approached her slightly, his voice lowered, like a whisper The strings brushed past his ears, instantly giving Haiyin goosebumps.

"So, you guys knew then?" The girl took a deep breath, and after repeating it several times, she seemed to ask calmly.

For some reason, she didn't dare to look at the expression of Oda Sakunosuke beside her, and could only stare at Osamu Dazai who had exposed all this.

"Haiyin..." The red-brown haired youth tried to speak.

"That's right! Ranpo-san should be a little earlier than me!" Osamu Dazai replied straightforwardly.

"So you haven't told me all this time, is it to see my jokes!!"Oda Haiyin started hunting mode with a face full of anger.

"Oh, the rubber bullet hurts! Why do you carry this thing with you! Target me, definitely target me!!" Osamu Dazai's screams resounded through the beach.

late at night.

After saying goodbye to his exhausted and inexplicably satisfied friends, Oda Sakunosuke embarked on the road home with the sleeping girl on his back.

At this time, only the sound of the waves was left on the beach, and it was eerily quiet.

"Haine?" Oda Sakunosuke, with the girl on his back, looked up at the bright moon in the night sky, and suddenly called softly.

The girl on her back moved.

"No matter where you come from, you will always be a precious family member to me." Oda Sakunosuke frankly expressed his initial thoughts, "So, no matter what your identity is, it doesn't matter."
