The bosses cry and put down the butcher knife

"That's why girls must keep their eyes open carefully. It's the worst thing to do to hurt yourself for a man."

In the office of the Armed Detective Agency, Oda Miyuki was sitting on the side sofa, with a small medical box on the table.While rubbing medicine on the girl, Yosano Akiko gave someone on the other side of the sofa a murderous look.

The other party showed "I am wronged" eyes.

"I was impulsive, and," Oda Miyuki rubbed his forehead with his uninjured hand, tried to make his voice calm, "If you really want to settle the score, you have to wait for Dazai and him from this world to come back."

When it came to "Dazai", she realized that the one a few meters away was also "Dazai", so she changed the term.

The young man wearing a sand-colored windbreaker, who was almost identical to the "Osamu Dazai" of this world, did not respond to this.

Around the three of them, most of the members of the Armed Detective Agency gathered.Except that Ryunosuke Akutagawa was in a coma (fascinated) in the medical room after being treated with Akiko Yosano; and Kenji Miyazawa had just been ordered by Edogawa Ranpo to pick up things, and he hasn't returned yet.

"In other words, this 'Dazai Osamu' is from a parallel world?"

Oda Sakunosuke looked at the young man on the sofa, stroked his chin with a thoughtful expression.

"Besides, he's still our colleague." Kunikida Doppo had a complicated expression, and glanced at Edogawa Ranpo who told this fact.The latter was eating potato chips, and under the black frame, the pair of green eyes squinted lazily.

As the intellectual responsibility (and mascot) of the Armed Detective Agency, no one would doubt the conclusions drawn by Ranpo Edogawa.It was also because of this that when they looked at this "Dazai", their emotions were extremely indescribable.

After all, only a few days ago, the Armed Detective Agency obtained the information of "the leader of the port mafia named Osamu Dazai" through that hard-earned video; Trying to save Akutagawa Ryunosuke's younger sister.

Then...and now, the group huddled in the office, watching their "companions" from another world.

Speaking of which, since the leader of the gangsters in Hong Kong is a powerful person who is diligent day and night, as his partner in the parallel world, this guy may meet his "ideal"?

Kunikida Doppo thought.However, looking at the young man with a salty face on the sofa, I always feel that something is not right.

"Okay. Although there is almost no bleeding, the bruises will take a few days to disperse." Yosano Akiko put away the sterilized cotton balls, and said to Oda Miyuki while closing the medical box.

The girl thanked the other party, and then looked at "Dazai" over there, just in time to meet the other party's eyes.

"Anyway," Kunikida Doppo took his small notebook and glanced at the majestic president standing at the door, "Let's exchange information first."

——The "Dazai" in front of him, according to his own statement, comes from a parallel world that is different from this one.

"...That is to say, your previous experience is not far from the Hong Kong gangster leaders in this world." When talking about "Hong Kong gangster leaders", Kunikida Doppo still paused, "After that, you left the Hong Kong gangsters. ? Is it convenient to explain the reason?"

Dazai was silent for a while: "It's Oda Tsukuru. In the world I'm in, Oda Tsukuru died that year."

silence.

Although I didn't deliberately explain it, but after working together for so long, most people in Butei know the information that "Oda Sakunosuke used to be the bottom of the gangsters in Hong Kong".

So all of them, including Dazai himself who had spoken the message, all looked at the red-haired young man standing by the side of the sofa.

Oda Sakunosuke: "?"

The person who was suddenly announced "the death of the past" had a blank expression on his face. After reacting for a while under the gaze of a dozen eyes, he slowly said "ah": "Is that so, then, sorry?"

Everyone: "..."

Well, as expected/as expected of Oda Sakunosuke.

"Even if I didn't say it directly, it's easy to speculate." Even if you don't rely on Mr. Ranpo's reasoning.Dazai didn't say these words, he looked at his friend who had been dead for many years in his own world, his expression looked very calm.

If it wasn't for the gaffe expression on Dazai's face when we just met, even strangers; coupled with the "reason" he mentioned... probably only with a heart as big as Kenji would think that he Just a casual mention really.

"So, in other worlds, we are really friends?"

Oda Sakunosuke continued to ask questions, Dazai was slightly taken aback, and then seemed to realize something.The other party did not wait for him to speak, but said thoughtfully:

"It turns out that what that person said is true..."

He remembered the over-familiar attitude of the "Osamu Dazai" of this world when they met not long ago, and his surprising understanding of himself.

Speaking of the meeting not long ago... a certain old father looked at his adopted daughter sitting beside him, and his expression became complicated again.

Based on his usual facial paralysis, Oda Miyuki was the only one who accepted the almost invisible facial expression changes.

"..."

The girl felt a little guilty for no reason, and pretended that she didn't realize anything, and looked back with an innocent expression.

Oda Sakunosuke looked at her "I'm so innocent" expression, and then at the "I'm wronged" face of the black-haired young man on the sofa next to her.The two very similar expressions, but each with their own characteristics, made him feel even more complicated.

This episode did not affect the subsequent information exchange. Osamu Dazai briefly explained the process of joining Butei, and then logically mentioned Atsushi Nakajima who was picked up by him.This name made everyone relive the shock of "the leader of Hong Kong gangsters is his colleague in the next world", and then they all remembered Ryunosuke Akutagawa lying in the infirmary.

"In other words, Akutagawa and Atsushi-kun in this world have switched identities..."

Dazai said to himself, there is no doubt that this is what the "self" in this world did.

He has even been able to speculate on the reasons for "himself", including further, when did the rule of Dazai in this world change.

Is this the so-called "change of the world line"?Dazai thought a little casually.

"Then, the next thing that needs to be determined is—Miss Shenxue, how did you meet the leader of Hong Kong gangsters?"

Kunikida Doppo looked at the sequence of questions recorded in his notebook and checked the situation.Then he turned his head and looked at Oda Miyuki on the sofa with a serious expression.

Oda Miyuki: "..."

The topic suddenly turned to herself, even though she was mentally prepared, the girl stayed still for a few seconds.

Okay, isn't it the execution on the spot?

"The first time we met was about two months...about fifty days ago," Oda Miyuki calculated roughly, "at least for me, it was the first time we met."

She suddenly realized that this was also the first time she had seriously recalled their past since she met Osamu Dazai.

And suddenly found that there are so many subtle details or doubts in this memory, it's like looking for answers in an open book.

There was tea for the guests on the table, Oda Miyuki took a sip, and his eyes were slightly empty: "As Asuke said, he seems to know me... This is actually not difficult to find out, but at that time, I also No active 'recognition' of this."

Thinking of what to say next, the girl's expression became a little fluttering: "At that time, um, because of some personality accidents, I confessed to him... Then, he agreed."

Everyone: "..."

Everyone: "???"

Caught off guard by eating a bite of dog food, the expressions of the relatively normal people in the detective agency became particularly exciting.Edogawa Ranpo opened his eyes for a moment, then changed his bag of snacks and continued eating.

Dazai blinked his eyes, showing an "ahhhhh" expression.

Oda Miyuki scratched his hair, and felt that there was basically nothing to say normally: "I had a problem with my personality before, and everyone should understand it, and thank you for always accommodating me. Anyway, because of those reasons, I didn't know it at all. After thinking about it, I just... think that I can try dating him."

In front of so many elders, including a face that looked like a copy-pasted boyfriend.No matter how big-hearted Oda Miyuki was, he couldn't say something like "I think he's a weak boy with a special job, and decided to work hard to make money to support him".

However, it is obvious that the answer of suddenly turning on the highway has already shocked everyone present.

Especially Kunikida's mother, his face with 20 years of teaching experience is full of the trance of "Are all children like this now, the world is going downhill and people's hearts are not old".

So Oda Miyuki said more briefly: "Before, we didn't think about meeting the parents, and we didn't tell anyone about it. Later..."

Her words gurgled in her throat, and looking at her old father's face that had never been favored by the years, she finally suppressed the nuke of "marrying in three months", "This afternoon, I saw at the bar Him and Asuke. Because I felt something was wrong with him, I rushed over to find someone."

"As for this... how Dazai-kun came here, it should be some kind of conversion device." She pointed to Dazai who was sitting on the side, wishing to immediately shift the focus away from herself: "I heard a friend mention it before, The function is probably to exchange the current self with the self in other worlds.”

Thinking of the "declaration of death for love" made by the guy in front of him at that time, Oda Miyuki's face turned black instantly, and he felt his fist itching again.

Although she was angry at the time, she had no idea what to do to an actual stranger, so she could only punch the grass on the grass.

Unexpectedly, there was a stone under the grass, and the back of his hand was swollen.

Reminiscent of the fact that she bit someone's mouth to bleed just before she jumped off the building, the world news came too soon.

The girl blew her bangs upwards, feeling even worse.
