Dazai's girlfriend Natsume

After learning the truth about the fusion of worlds from Natsume Soseki, Natsume Chiaya no longer worries about whether she can go home.According to Natsume Soseki, Yahara's family and friends will appear in this world sooner or later-although she has not yet figured out how to protect them.

Natsume Chiya originally wanted to tell Osamu Dazai about the situation of world integration, but because of Natsume Soseki's repeated emphasis, she didn't say anything.

Although Natsume Chiaya still doesn't understand why she appeared in this world first, but this does not prevent her from paying close attention to any information that may be related to the monster that protects Yokohama.This includes but is not limited to calling Yato to check the progress every now and then.Yato lost his temper because of her question,? Every time he assured that he was trying to find it.

Natsume Chiaya knew that she was bothering Yato, and felt a little sorry, so every time she called, she would ask Yato to come over to help with cleaning, sorting out documents, salvaging evidence, etc., using this as an excuse,? Give Yato five dollars.Then feed Yato and Yukine by the way, as well as Yiqi Hiyori who go together from time to time.

However, Natsume Chiaya couldn't help feeling worried when she called Yato recently but never answered.

Before getting off work on Friday, the girls gathered around Natsume Chiaya's desk, discussing the arrangements for the weekend.

Tanizaki Naomi said: "I want to go to the movies with my brother!"

"I guess I'm just sleeping in at home?" Haruno Qi Luozi said while hugging Xiao Mi.

"What are Miss Natsume's plans for the weekend?" Tanizaki Naomi asked.

Yosano Akiko said slowly: "If Qianling doesn't have any arrangements, why don't you go to the bar with me?"

"Excuse me, Dr. Yosano,? I don't know much about drinking. Besides, I do have plans for this week. I will go to Kurumi's house tomorrow morning, and I will go to Mihua Town in the afternoon. Check out Conan-kun's situation, too. Mr. Ranpo brings the Daifuku that he promised him last time. On Sunday, he will go to Kyoto for business[Note 1]."

Edogawa Ranpo heard Natsume Chiaya's words, raised his head from the case, and hummed: "So you still remember. Ranpo-sama thought you had forgotten."

Natsume Chiya smiled and said, "After all, I promised Mr. Ranpo." It was just that when she suddenly heard about Yahara, she went straight to Yahara, so she didn't fulfill the promise.

Speaking of this, Natsume Chiaya remembered that she also came back from Mihua Town before, but she only missed Osamu Dazai's present.Osamu Dazai said at the time that he owed it first, but he hasn't said anything yet.Right now Osamu Dazai and Kunikida are going out to deal with the commission, someday I can ask him sometime, Natsume Chiaya thought.

"Going to Kyoto on Sunday? What is Miss Natsume doing in Kyoto? A while ago, there were many inexplicable deaths there." Haruno Qiluozi asked doubtfully.

Yosano Akiko said: "I also know a little bit about this. The deceased were all kinds of criminals, but the cause of death was sudden death, and nothing unusual could be seen. However, so many cases occurred in a short period of time, and the Kyoto side thought it might be caused by a curse. It's a pity that no trace of the curse spirit was found. If there are no more clues, it will probably be handed over to Mr. Ranbu."

"Maybe it's someone with supernatural powers who can't see through these dregs, so they want to eliminate harm for the people?" Haruno Qiluozi said.

"It's not a supernatural being." Edogawa Ranpo interrupted suddenly.There was a newspaper in Kyoto in front of him, his emerald green eyes opened at some point, and his expression was cold: "It's not a curse spirit or a curse master, it's the kind of existence you and Dazai met last time, Qianling."

The emergence of gods and demons, currently not many people know the inside story, even in the Armed Detective Agency, only President Fukuzawa, Ranpo Edogawa, Chiaya Natsume, and Osamu Dazai know about it.

Edogawa closed the newspaper in a hurry, and looked at Natsume Chiaya: "Chiaya, if you want to go to Kyoto to find that guy named Yato, I suggest you don't wait until Sunday, the sooner the better."

"Mr. Yato, something happened?" Natsume Chiaya was startled.

Edogawa Ranpo: "You have to go there yourself to know the specific situation. Be careful. If you have anything, you can call Mr. Ranpo, and Mr. Ranpo allows you to ask me for help."

"I understand, Mr. Ranpo, thank you." Natsume Qianling picked up her shoulder bag and smiled apologetically at Izumi Jinghua: "Sorry, Jinghua-chan, you don't have to leave the door for me at night, you lock the door, Sleep by yourself, okay?"

"Yeah. Miss Natsume, I'm fine." Izumi Kyoka nodded sensibly.

Yosano Akiko didn't know who the "Yato" mentioned by Natsume Chiaya and Edogawa Ranpo was, she didn't ask in detail, she just said: "Don't worry, Chiaya, I'm still here with Kyoka-chan. "

"Trouble with Dr. Yosano. I'm leaving now."

Before getting in the car, Natsume Chiaya sent a text message to Saiki Kurumi, explaining that there was an accident on her side and she might not be able to visit tomorrow morning.Saiki Kurumi came back quickly, and quickly said "it's okay", and asked Natsume Chiaya to come over anytime.

After greeting Saiki Kurumi, Natsume Chiaya called Yato again.

"Beep-beep-beep-"

After the long electronic sound, there was still a notification that he couldn't connect, which seemed to verify Edogawa Ranpo's reasoning.

Natsume Chiaya rubbed the center of her eyebrows, feeling uneasy for some reason.

Yato-san...is he really in trouble?

There are many shrines in Kyoto, such as Kitano Tenmangu, which enshrines the god Sugawara Michizane.

And the location Natsume Chiaya asked from Yato is said to be the shrine of his friend Ebisu Kofuku who is also a god.However, despite the name "Ebisu", in fact Xiaofu is not one of the real Seven Lucky Gods, Ebisu, the God of Wealth, on the contrary, she is the God of Poverty.

Xiaofu's place is not so much a shrine, but a warm house.Natsume Chiaya knocked on the door, and the person who opened the door was a rather resolute and vicious adult man.

"Hi, I'm Natsume Chiaya, I'm here to find Mr. Yato."

"Kayato?"

Before the man could speak, a girl with short pink hair poked her head out from behind him.

"Wow, Xiao Yato is so popular with girls now? Hello, I'm Xiaofu, and this is my magic weapon, Dahei. You just said that your name is Qian Lingling? Why are you looking for Xiao Yato?" Xiaofu seemed very nervous. Likes to call people by cute nicknames.

Natsume Chiaya didn't correct her, and said: "I entrusted Mr. Yato to help me find a monster. But I can't seem to contact him recently, so I'll come and have a look. Is he here?"

"I don't know, Xiao Yato has been missing for almost a month." Xiao Fu scratched his cheek and said.

Dahei said: "Miss Natsume doesn't need to think too much. Yato is always like this, and he will appear by himself in a short time."

Natsume Chiaya felt that such a statement was just like the disappearance of Mr. Dazai before. Everyone thought he was the one who caused it by himself, but in fact it was the ghost of Mafia at the port.She sighed and asked, "Then, where is Xueyin?"

Xiao Fu could tell that Natsume Chiaya cared about Yato, so she answered Natsume Chiaya's question: "Xiao Xueyin is studying magic arts with Zhaoma in Takamahara."

Dahei added to Xiaofu: "Zhaoma is the artifact of Bishamonten, one of the seven gods of good fortune."

"May I trouble you to contact Yukine for me?" Natsume Chiaya's uneasiness grew stronger, coupled with Edogawa Ranpo's judgment, she said sincerely: "It is very presumptuous to make such a request, but Yato-san She is my grandmother's friend, and also my friend, and accepted my commission. I can't let it go regardless of emotion or reason."

Xiaofu and Dahei looked at each other, and finally Xiaofu said: "I will go to Gaotianyuan to participate in the gods' meeting later, maybe Yato will appear there. He has wanted to participate in the gods' meeting for a long time. If not, I will let Dahe Hei to tell Xiao Xueyin to come to you?"

"Okay, thank you Miss Xiaofu." Natsume Chiaya breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Fu smiled and rolled his eyes, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, Xiao Yato has very few friends, and it's rare to see people other than Xiao Xueyin and Hiyori caring about him."

"I will be staying in Kyoto today and tomorrow. If the two of you contact Xueyin, let him come to this hotel to find me." Natsume Qianling handed the note with the address to Xiaofu: "Please."

"..."

Dazai Osamu and Kunikida Doppo came back from completing the commission, and found that Natsume Chiaya didn't wait for him to go back together today, and the desk was empty.

"Where's Chiya-chan?" Osamu Dazai asked, turning on his computer and calling up the map.

"Miss Natsume has gone to Kyoto." Izumi Kyoka tidied up the report at hand and replied, "Go and find someone named Yato."

Yato?

Osamu Dazai stopped typing on the keyboard.He thought of the meaningful look in Yato's eyes that day, Chiya-chan... did she go to Zhan Yuan?

Probably because of Natsume-sensei's instructions, Chiya-chan didn't tell him what she talked to Natsume-sensei that day.After that, he didn't see anything unusual about her, so he wisely didn't ask.But now, he suddenly regretted it, maybe it would be better to ask obliquely, obviously he knew so many secrets of Qian Lingchan, but he just missed this point.

Osamu Dazai unconsciously pursed the corner of his lower lip, and was about to call Natsume Chiaya when his phone rang.

"Qianya sauce?"

Osamu Dazai was unprepared, and pressed the speaker next to him when he picked it up in a hurry.He didn't care about so much, and he said in a long-tailed voice with grievances: "Qianling sauce, you didn't wait for me today~"

"Sorry, Mr. Dazai, I have something urgent. Well, I have something to ask Mr. Dazai, I wonder if it's okay?"

Osamu Dazai: "Huh?"

The girl asked solemnly: "Mr. Dazai, can you accompany me to Huangquan Hirazaka?"

"Crack", Kunikida Doppo's pen snapped at the sound.

With a "clang", Yosano Akiko's scalpel fell to the ground.

"Boom", Edogawa Ranpo's game is directly Game?Over, the sound effect of explosion failure on the screen.

Not to mention the Tanizaki brothers and sisters who were stunned in place, Miyazawa Kenji who accidentally pinched the potted plant in his hand, and Nakajima Atsushi who was full of disbelief.

"..."

The astonishing dead silence was broken by Xiao Mi's angry "gurgling" sound from his throat, and the entire Armed Detective Agency: "!!!"
