retired from port today

With my 2.0 eyes, I can clearly see Osamu Dazai and the floating corpse staring at each other.

I wasn't particularly surprised to see this corpse, it just felt like something was missing.

I turned my head and saw Yuanzi and Xiaolan hugging each other, far away from the shore.

Kudo-san didn't show any surprise either.

So for an inexplicable sense of ritual, I yelled a few times.

"Ah!!! Dead!!!"

Dazai and Kudo looked at me with puzzled eyes, even if they didn't say anything, I could feel the disgust in their eyes.

"Ah, it's so noisy!" Dazai plucked his ears, and said impatiently: "The voice is too rough! Your voice is not a shrill female voice at all!"

I scanned around and found that people around me were looking at me indifferently, so I closed my mouth with a smirk.

While they were carrying the body ashore, Yuanzi walked up to me and complained, "You're so bad at acting! It's obvious at a glance that you're faking it."

Xiao Lan also echoed: "That's right! Don't you feel a little disgusted when you say you are afraid with a cold face?"

I'm depressed again.

After the body was recovered, the police also arrived.

I watched Kudo talking with the police very skillfully, and I thought to myself that Kudo really has the physique of a god of death.

Because Osamu Dazai was the first to find out, the police have been asking him questions.

It's just that his face was pale and he looked very uncomfortable.

The policeman asked a few words, saw him in such a state, and patted him on the shoulder sympathetically.

Probably in his opinion, Dazai is just a poor ordinary person.

I was the only one who saw through everything. I walked up to Osamu Dazai and asked tentatively, "Mr. Dazai, are you okay?"

The other party's face was very ugly, as if he had been hit.

"I just choked on a few mouthfuls of water."

Hearing this, I glanced at the swollen body, which had obviously been dead for many days, with sympathy and inevitably a bit of schadenfreude.

"Ah, Mr. Dazai, are you okay? Do you feel unwell?"

Dazai was originally just disgusted in his heart, the corners of his mouth twitched after seeing my expression: "When you say this, don't grin so wide, okay?"

I hastily withdrew my expression and apologized to him: "I'm sorry, sorry, I accidentally..."

I looked at the busy people in front of me, pulled Osamu Dazai back a few steps, and stood in a place where it was not easy to be found.

"It's better to stay away from the scene, so as not to leave a psychological shadow on you, Mr. Dazai."

The other party complained unceremoniously: "I have already left it! I will not enter the water in this river again."

I looked at the river and suddenly felt that this place was very familiar.

"Mr. Dazai, it seems that this is the first time I met you, right?"

Dazai also had complicated eyes when he heard this, "It's true, it's the first time I met Chiba-chan here, and the second time I encountered this kind of thing. Sure enough, this river is a bit unlucky."

"It's too much for you to say that. But if there is a corpse in the river, Dazai-san won't go into the water..."

Feeling bad, Dazai waved his hands in front of my eyes and stopped him: "Shut up!! Don't think about it anymore! I don't want a dead body floating in every river in Yokohama!"

I was suddenly enlightened, and clasped my fists on the palm of my hand: "In this way, the task assigned to me by the leader can be completed!"

"Okay, don't say any more!" Osamu Dazai covered my mouth with his hands.

The position where we were standing was really not easy to be seen. Xiaolan and the others searched for a long time before they found us.

"Chiba-chan, why are you here? How's the situation over there?"

I pointed to Osamu Dazai next to me, and explained: "Mr. Dazai is a little uncomfortable. Maybe he was frightened by the corpse. I will take him away from the scene."

Dazai glanced at me when he heard those words.

"It's the first time Dazai-kun saw a dead body, so let's take a good rest." After finishing speaking, Xiaolan patted Dazai empathetically, "I was also so scared when I saw the dead body for the first time. , but it doesn't matter, Shinichi will solve the case immediately."

I suppressed my smile and listened to Mr. Dazai helplessly agreeing: "Is that so? I'm really feeling a little uncomfortable. I hope he can solve this case quickly."

Xiaolan nodded and went to Kudo to inquire about the progress of the case.

Dazai looked at me, "Okay, the matter is coming to an end. I don't want to stay here anymore, can you let me go back first?"

"No, Mr. Dazai." I grabbed the other person's arm and made him stop, "You will be suspected of being a murderer if you leave like this. We are more of a mafia, so it is better to stand here Safety."

Dazai sighed helplessly when he understood the real reason why I was standing here.

Later, the case was finally dealt with, but because it was a little too late, Xiaolan and the others' afternoon schedule was wasted.

Xiaolan and Yuanzi have a lot of grievances.

The next day, I followed them to the amusement park first, and then went to a nearby shrine that is famous for its very effective results.

In the morning, I invited Mr. Dazai, but he said that he was hit by what happened yesterday, and he still has a loss of appetite.

So I gave up Mr. Dazai.

"So, why do we have to come to the shrine? Are there any problems you can't solve at the Tokyo Shrine?"

I, who went to shrines a handful of times since I was a child, stared at the blisters on my feet and said.

"What Chiba-chan and Shinichi said is exactly the same!" Xiaolan looked at the two of us and said with a smile.

"Bye bye, so that the gods will bless the handsome guy to appear in my life." Sonoko explained to us holding the guard in his hand.

Me: "In this way, the gods will think you are not pious enough?"

Kudo: "That's why your peach blossoms are so rotten."

"Hey you two! Are you dissatisfied with me?" Yuanzi clenched his fists, obviously very angry.

The two waved their hands at the same time, with cold sweat on their heads: "No, we are very happy to go with you!"

Sonoko has such an enigmatic obsession with these things that she's still inside after we've all visited.

I squatted next to the tree bored, and after a while I felt my legs go numb and stood up, but my eyes caught a dark object behind the tree.

I walked over and found it was a sculpture.

It's just that the work has not been completed yet, and it seems that it was abandoned by the owner.

It may be the gods who are enshrined here.

Thinking of this, I put the thing back behind the tree, clasped my hands together, and bowed to him.

"Although I have already prayed, I still hope that my wish will come true."

"So, what exactly is your wish?"

A teenage voice interrupted me.

I followed the sound and saw a boy in a black tracksuit standing on a tree, looking down at me.

"you are?"

The boy jumped down, his body was very flexible.

"Tell me, what is your wish? Didn't you make a wish to me?"

I stared blankly at him.

I'm sorry that he has too many slots, and I don't know how to complain for a while.

"You, are you this god?" I pointed to the sculpture on the ground and asked in surprise.

He grabbed my wrist, turned an angle and pointed at him, proudly said: "You made a wish to me and still don't know my name?"

I looked at the thing that had no human shape at all, and the corners of my mouth twitched: "Sorry, I didn't realize it was you."

It's a ghost if you can see that kind of thing, right?

"Then, wouldn't the enshrined inside be also..." I looked at the shrine inside and asked cautiously.

The man was silent for a moment: "That's not true."

Isn't this stealing business?

I smiled, and boldly stepped forward and pinched the other person's face, to make sure it wasn't disguised: "Sorry, your voice is very similar to a friend of mine, I thought it was him pretending."

The image of Edogawa Ranpo came to my mind.

"What, don't touch the gods so casually, okay?" The man avoided my hand and took a step back.

"So hurry up and say your wish, it's rare for someone to worship me."

I probably understood what kind of god I met, so I whispered a few words to him.

"It's simple, I, Yato-sama, will accept your prayer! Just wait for my good news tomorrow!"

The other party snapped their fingers, readily agreed to my request, and disappeared.

That's when I realized that the other party's name was Yato.

I looked at the bare sculpture and thought it must be because it was too ugly that no one worshiped it.

Thinking of this, I put it in my backpack, ready to save it.

The next day, when I was about to go to a meeting, I received a gift from Yato.

Excitedly holding his things, he rushed to the leader's office.

When I looked up, Mr. Dazai and Mr. Nakahara had arrived.

My eyes lit up, and I said, "Mr. Zhongyuan, let me show you something good."

Zhong was also a little inexplicable, but due to the shock of receiving the gift last time, he said cautiously: "What? You won't buy me some height-enhancing shoes, will you?"

I shook my head, turned a blind eye to his resistance, and showed what was in my arms: "Mr. Zhongyuan, it's milk! Sure enough, physical things like height-enhancing shoes are not enough. Drinking milk is very calcium-rich when you are growing up of."

Zhong also raised his fist, gritted his teeth and said, "We have passed the growth period now, okay?"

Running in front of the other party, he said seriously: "Don't say that about Mr. Zhong Yuan! You have to believe in yourself! Even if you are 23 years old, you can fight! You are so young, don't give up your future."

"I'm telling the truth! And even if you drink milk, you won't necessarily grow taller!" Zhong, who was speaking angrily, also sensed the movement of the person next to him, grabbed the other person by the collar, and said angrily, "Bastard Dazai! You are too Too much!"

Dazai waved his hand, acting like he was doing something: "I just remembered a happy thing."

Zhong Ye roared: "You are just laughing at me, you never stopped."

I ran to the leader with the milk in my arms: "Leader, where is Alice?"

Mori Ogai froze.
