Substitutes are not a problem

Chapter16

Armed Detective Agency——

"Please, everyone help to cast a vote! Today I treat everyone to eat ice cream!"

As soon as she entered the office, Naomi Tanizaki eagerly launched a canvassing operation.

Tanizaki Junichiro naturally had to help, and because of his sister, he was registered as a member of Araki Genrina's support club early on.

Tickets for a few underage members are easy to get, but none of the adult members in the club are chasing idols, and they don't know much about the newly debuted idols.

Except for Edogawa Ranpo who went on a business trip to investigate the case, the other three adult members—

Former people's teacher Kunikida Doppo expressed his disapproval of this: "As a high school student, instead of studying hard, he plunged into such impetuous circles. This is definitely not a good social phenomenon! Your senior sister is already in her third year of high school." , At this time, you should work hard for the university entrance exam."

Tanizaki Naomi immediately retorted: "It's not that I didn't study hard, Yuan Rina-senpai is super good, and her grades are no problem even if she is admitted to Tokyo University!"

Mature working women and Yosano Akiko expressed indifference to this: "I'm not interested in idols whose selling point is cuteness, it's too naive and doesn't fit my aesthetics."

Naomi Tanizaki staring eyes: "With Dr. Yosano..."

Osamu Dazai, who likes beautiful women but only likes real women that he can touch, stretched his waist:

"Idols are like distant virtual characters to us. I can't invite you to die together through the screen...Okay, okay, since it's Naomi-chan, please, then I'll do you a favor. Want chocolate-"

Naomi Tanizaki: "Thank you, Dazai-san." It feels like it's all just for the ice cream.

"I want the vanilla flavor." Akiko Yosano blinked at the side.

Anyway, it's good to be willing to help.

"Okay, I sent the voting link to our Line group. After registration, you can vote. The first photo is Minamoto Rina-senpai. Be sure to vote for her!"

The office was originally filled with a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere, but after the link was clicked, to be precise, it was clicked by two of the people in the room...

Dazai Osamu's eyes rarely showed real surprise, and his iris-colored eyes widened instantly when he saw the photo.Even the fingers holding the phone trembled almost imperceptibly.

Even Tanizaki Naomi, who was engrossed in canvassing votes, noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, but she didn't know why.

"Doctor Yosano..." Finally, Osamu Dazai spoke slowly in an elusive tone, turning his head to look at Akiko Yosano.

She and Yosano Akiko looked at him, and returned the same expression, with undisguised surprise and confusion in their eyes: "You also feel... very similar, don't you?"

No, I can't say they are very similar, but they are exactly the same, exactly the same as her when she was... Osamu Dazai stared at the photo on the phone.

PortMafia headquarters building——

Waking up the next day after a hangover, his head was still a little groggy. When Nakahara Nakaya walked into the headquarters building, he was still recalling the hazy dream from last night... Then, was he really dreaming?

"Mr. Chuya!"

A member of the Black Lizard who met him greeted him. He was one of the drinking buddies who had a drink with him last night.

After returning the greeting, Zhongya Nakahara still couldn't help asking: "Last night, not long after we came out of the bar... did we meet two people on the street? One of them was a woman, right?"

The member of the Black Lizard recalled it for a while, and suddenly realized: "Oh, Mr. Chuya, before you were completely drunk, two young people who looked like middle school students passed us by. What's wrong?"

"Middle school student..." Zhong Yuan Zhong also murmured, his eyes drooped a little, and the look in his eyes seemed to have dimmed a little, but he soon let go of it.

That's right, how could it be possible, Mrs. Yuan had indeed passed away three years ago, this is an unchangeable fact.

The sound I heard last night, remember to go home early, and that familiar figure from behind... It really was a dream after being drunk.

However, it can be regarded as a sweet dream.

At this time, the subordinates of Zhongye's department hurried over after seeing their immediate superiors: "Mr. Zhongye, after the leader said you were here, I asked you to go to him immediately."

In front of the chief's office——

Hearing the urgent summons from the leader, Zhongyuan Zhong also rushed over with a serious face and at the fastest speed, thinking that something serious had happened, only to see in front of the office...

"No, Nozawa... what's wrong with you?"

I saw Ryo Nozawa standing there tremblingly with his bare upper body, crossing his arms to draw some warmth for himself, and the expression on his face was... quite magical.

After seeing Nakahara Chuya, Nozawa Ryo's facial expression twitched very strangely and said: "Mr. Nakaya... I feel like I accidentally did something extraordinary."

……

TV station——

"Today's program, with seniors leading and supporting you, can increase a lot of popularity and exposure, you must perform well!" Kinoshita's manager once again said that he must strive for success, and must strive for success!

Minamoto Rina looked at her three direct seniors in front of her, and said hello: "I'm also asking you today, Airi-senpai, Truth-senpai, and Qianjia-senpai."

Please let her get off work on time today without a hitch.
