Don't worry, Yokohama is about to end

As the saying goes, it takes 21 days to form a habit, but only an hour to quit it.

This sentence is obviously nonsense, at least for Atsushi Nakajima and the others.

"Hey, there's been no news for two days."

In the coffee shop on the first floor of the Armed Detective Agency, Atsushi Nakajima and his party occupied the booth by the window, and disappointment was written on everyone's face.

Even the poses were rehearsed, every minute, I looked up at the sky outside the window, and after seeing nothing, I lowered my head and sighed in unison, so gloomy that there were dark clouds floating above my head.

Does this scene look familiar?

That's right.

It's just different from the scene of the "collective May sickness attack" last time. This time, the listless staff in the coffee shop has changed again.

Except for Atsushi who was brought here to "extract a confession by torture", the rest are basically the staff of the detective agency——

Tanizaki Naomi is on the left, Haruno Kirako is sitting on the right, and opposite is Izumi Kyoka who is just making up numbers.

Suddenly surrounded by beautiful girls, Atsushi Nakajima was in the middle, female on top of female, restless.

"Ah! No way, I haven't seen Mei-chan for 48 hours, 36 minutes and 52 seconds! I'm going to die, I'm going to wither from lack of energy!"

The wailing Haruno Kirako hit the table with a slap on her forehead, causing everyone's drink cups to jump up.

"Well, Miss Haruno, it's better to keep your voice down, everyone is watching..."

The white-haired boy said weakly, trying to stop the strange "Mei Cult" gathering in front of him.

However, before he could finish his sentence, he was so frightened by a beautiful face that suddenly approached him that he fell back tactically on the spot.

"Dun! Hurry up and tell the truth, where did Dazai-san and the others send Mei-chan!"

Naomi Tanizaki went to Hudun Boy to try to extract a confession on the spot.

The beautiful face of the black-haired girl was infinitely magnified in front of her eyes, and even the moles at the corners of her eyes were clearly visible.

But Atsushi Nakajima not only didn't feel happy, but felt that he was one step closer to death.

I don't know if it's his illusion, but I always feel the coolness on my back and forehead, ha ha, ha ha ha.

Atsushi Nakajima closed his eyes in despair, wishing that the scene would turn into a tiger ball and get under the booth.

Izumi Jinghua, who was drinking milk tea opposite, was expressionless: stare——

The elder brother in a certain booth in the store, with tears in his eyes: Woohoo, Naomi——

"Oh... Naomi-san, Miss Haruno, please forgive me! I really don't know anything, you can ask Mr. Dazai, or, or Ranpo-san!"

A very hopeless boy from Hutton held his head in defense.

Since the battle two days ago, Mei Zhishang and the cat-turned Hong Kong? Black Gravity Envoy have successfully embarked on a journey of time and space as planned, and with their departure, everyone in Yokohama discovered that the sky above the city also followed suit. It fell silent, and the picture inside disappeared, leaving only a blank space with no signal.

In this way, Yokohama regained its calm.

If it wasn't for the blank sky that hadn't dissipated, everyone would have thought that everything before was just an illusion.

But Tun would rather that such peace did not exist—

After all, an invisible crisis, like a sharp knife hanging above the head, is the most terrifying.

"Dazai-san..."

Atsushi tried to ask the kite-eyed youth, but he got Dazai Osamu's mysterious smile and a secret gesture with his index finger on his lips.

So, the Hudun boy who was arrested and interrogated was also miserable, but who made him the weakest and easy to bully among the investigators.

Fortunately, the reliable mother Kunikida appeared in time and rescued the boy who was so miserable that he was about to cry.

"You guys! How long do you want to be lazy, go back to work!"

The young man with braids stood by the table with veins on his head, like a shepherd dog chasing away the few who slipped out to let the wind go.

"Ah! Yes, it's Kunikida-san!"

The timid girls rushed away, leaving only Izumi Kyoka who ate the cake calmly and Nakajima Atsushi who escaped.

"Oh, thank you Kunikida-san, I'm saved—"

Atsushi Nakajima had kelp tears in his eyes.

Facing the boy's pitiful expression, Kunikida's mother, the only one with a conscience, looked away guiltily, "Well, thank you for your hard work, Aunt."

He took all the firepower for us.

Kunikida Doppo patted the young man's shoulder with concern, and expressed his thanks on behalf of all the staff, "Hey, go back quickly, this meal is mine."

The innocent boy Atsushi Nakajima suddenly burst into tears, unaware of the fact that he was betrayed by his colleagues.

"Yoxi, yoxi, dun dun, be good."

Quan Jinghua, who had already seen through everything, stood on tiptoe and stroked the young tiger's head.

A ridiculous "extorted confession" came to an end. With Dun's tragic experience, the staff in the agency should also be able to temporarily put down their intention of digging out the truth.

Although it is not incomprehensible to their concerns, the matter is of great importance, and the fewer people who know the details, the better.

"That... Kunikida-senpai."

Before leaving, Atsushi turned around and called Kunikida Doppo.

"Miss Mei, will everything go well with them?" the white-haired boy asked.

Kunikida Doppo stared at the worry in Atsushi's eyes, paused for a moment when he took out his wallet, and then handed the bill... Now, everything will be fine.”

"That's good……"

Atsushi Nakashima breathed a sigh of relief.

He and Izumi Jinghua exchanged glances, and when he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly heard the lovely voice of the waitress from behind, "Sorry, Mr. Kunikida, this card of yours is overdrawn, ah, so is this one. "

"W-what? Wait a minute..."

The young man with glasses opened his eyes wide in shock. He lowered his head and looked through his wallet to pay cash, but he only found out a pitiful 300 yen coin and a note with a strange smiling face on it.

Kunikida Doppo opened the note with trembling hands, and after seeing the familiar handwriting on it, which made stomach piercing, he couldn't help but squeeze hard with his fingers, pinching the flat straight strip into a ball.

The veiny young man gritted his teeth, and the protruding blood vessels on his forehead throbbed: "Tai, Zai, Zhi—"

Atsushi Nakajima: "..."

Quan Jinghua: "..."

"That, that... Kunikida-san, I-I'll do it myself."

A certain honest Hutun boy silently took out his wallet, and his movements were so skillful that it made people feel distressed.

Well, let's put aside the two unlucky ones who were tricked here first. Will the lost Mei girl and Chuya big cat really go well?

It turns out

Smooth, that can't be smooth.

??

Three hours ago, the sparsely populated suburb of Bingsheng.

It was winter noon, the warmest time of day.

The streets that have just experienced a winter rain are wet everywhere, and the rainwater that stays on the surface has not had time to release the coldness, and it is warmed and evaporated by the rare warm winter sun.

The brown bird fluttered on the wet branch, lowered its head and used its beak to carefully trim the feathers on its wings.

Everything seemed so peaceful and harmonious until—

"Ah-ah! This teleportation is too unreliable!"

As soon as he opened his eyes, he realized that the silver-haired girl in mid-air was forced to fall from the sky, and she was about to hit the solid ground. Mei Zhishang's eyes were fixed, and she was about to draw her sword to strike the ground again, when suddenly there was a popping sound .

The silver-haired girl raised her head strangely, and found that the sky above her head looked like she had eaten a stomach, and spat out an ocher object with a "poof".

"Oh! Isn't this Chuya!"

A certain silver-haired girl recognized her Mr. Cat at a glance, and waved happily to say hello, "Yo hoo, Chuya—"

A big ocher cat that also fell freely: "..."

Is it "Yo Hoo" time!Stupid Mei!

Chuya Mao rolled his eyes tiredly, a black and red superpower lit up on his body, and he rushed straight towards Mei like a cannonball.

Seeing this, Mei Zhishang let go of the handle of the knife trustingly, and let herself fall on the big cat's furry back.

One person and one cat landed safely.

"Thank you, Chuya."

The girl riding on the back of the big cat naturally bent down and hugged the back of the cat's neck, rubbing her face against the beast's head, and was glared at by a pair of handsome cobalt blue cat pupils.

"Hey..." How long do you have to ride, get off quickly.

The silver-haired girl who had been seen through her small thoughts touched her nose, and obediently followed the arc of the big cat's squat, and slid to the ground.

Mei Zhishang, who suddenly came to a strange place, looked around vigilantly. She raised her wrist and tapped her brain habitually, "Alice, report the coordinates of the location."

The optical computer screen on the girl's wrist was pitch black and there was no response.

Mei was stunned for a while, then slowly remembered that her AIs stayed in Yokohama and did not follow.

Alright alright……

Thinking of the last smiling face of the blonde AI, the silver-haired girl took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the turbulent emotions in her heart.

The big ocher cat next to the girl glanced at her, and habitually wanted to raise its paw to pat Mei's head.

But after seeing his huge cat claws, he silently put down his forelimbs, and chose to sweep a certain silver head with his tail.

Then she covered Mei with cat fur all over her face.

"Hmm! Chuya! Mao, Mao got in his eyes!"

Tomoshang Mei hurriedly grabbed the tail off her face, trying to rub the dust into her eyes.

"Hey..." Don't move.

Seeing this, Chuya Mao pushed her tail hard, and gently pressed Mei's right hand, and then moved her huge head over. The cobalt blue cat pupils carefully looked at the girl's red eye sockets.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this should be a terrifying scene with trembling legs.

A ferocious beast over half a person's height leaned against the girl, and its awe-inspiring eyes, which were very similar to a lion, stared at the latter. No one knew whether the poor girl would be bitten off by the beast in the next second. head.

Of course, the two parties did not have this concern.

The unsuspecting girl let her cat approach, while the big ocher cat cautiously raised its paw to touch Mei's eyes.

As if worried about scratching the girl's fragile skin, Mr. Zhongyuan cat clumsily hid the sharp claws in the pads, and left with a touch.

Zhishang Mei only felt the corners of his eyes heat up, and in the next second, the cat hair stuck in his eyes floated out of his eyes.

Mei blinked her eyes, and gave Chuya Nakahara a thumbs up, "Chuya, your super power is really useful! Hold on, I'm suddenly full of confidence in our next trip to another world!"

Zhongyuan Zhongya Mao glanced at the girl suspiciously: "Huh?"

you sure?

"No problem!" Mei Zhishang nodded confidently.

"First of all, we have to figure out where this is."

Mei observed the surrounding environment, glanced at the plants around her and the buildings in the distance, and held her chin thoughtfully, "Judging from the vegetation coverage and building materials here, it looks a bit like the city composition 40 years ago, isn't it? ...the beam of light teleported us back to Yokohama 40 years ago?"

No, this is not Yokohama.

As a member of a local snake organization in Yokohama, Chuya Nakahara recognized at a glance that this was definitely not the seaside city in his memory.

The big ocher cat moved its nose, and the dry wind brought the strange breath of the city.

Based on the air without the smell of the ocean, Zhongyuan Zhong also concluded that they should be in a central area.

It is these houses that retain the Japanese courtyard houses, which makes Chuyamao guess.

"Well... this is... a poster?"

With sharp eyes, Mei pulled out a red promotional poster from a puddle on the side of the road. It looked like it was blown down by a strong wind on a rainy day, "Christmas Festival at XX Mall in Bingsheng Town..."

Bingsheng Town?

The pensive big cat moved its pointed ears.

The source of power of Bingsheng Town, the World Spiritual Foundation——

The words of AI Dazai and AI Chaobo flashed through his mind, vaguely, the gravity user seemed to have guessed the purpose of this trip.

Zhongya Nakahara turned his head to look at Mei, who was still observing the poster, and was about to call out, but found that the silver-haired girl suddenly raised her head, staring at the sky with a strange expression.

"Roar?" What's wrong?

The big ocher cat walked up to Mei.

"That Chuya—"

Zhishang Mei stared at a certain point in the sky, with an increasingly strange expression, "Look at the sky, is there something?"

Heaven?

The big cat in Zhongyuan raised his head.

Vaguely saw a small white dot falling towards them.

what is it then?

One person and one cat stand in a row, staring intently at the things in the sky.

As the object fell faster and faster, a familiar pattern caught the girl's eyes.

Wait - this seems to be it?

The expressions of Tomoshang Mei and Nakahara Chuya changed at the same time.

A white swaddle fell down——

"Ahh! It's a little random step from the sky!"
