Wenhao is my vest

Atsushi Nakajima was dumbfounded.

From his point of view, there suddenly appeared a man who claimed to be called by Osamu Dazai to help him. After using his supernatural powers, he defeated Fitzgerald and kicked him off the "Moby Dick".

...reliable enough to make people cry.

The white mist dissipated after the other party finished reading the lines. Nakajima Atsushi looked around and found that Akutagawa Ryunosuke looked more angry than when he was fighting with him before.

However, the other two people very tacitly put Akutagawa aside, and Atsushi Nakajima even stepped forward and introduced himself with Aoki Araya: "...Mr. Tsushima? I am Atsushi Nakajima, Mr. Dazai has something for you Have you been to me?"

【Osamu Dazai】Smiled at him, just about to answer, but his face suddenly changed, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Edgar Allan Poe...!"

Atsushi Nakajima was taken aback by the speed at which his face changed: "What's wrong?"

Hearing Nakajima's question, [Dazai Osamu]'s ugly face became a little better.

He put on a somewhat reluctant expression, and replied: "It's nothing. It's just that there is something wrong with me. I'm afraid I have to leave early, and I will trouble Nakajima-san for the follow-up."

Without waiting for Atsushi Nakajima to respond, half of [Osamu Dazai] turned into a golden spot of light, and quickly disappeared completely in front of the two of them.

Atsushi Nakajima was once again dumbfounded.

He was silent for two seconds, he could only look away and turned to Ryunosuke Akutagawa who seemed to know Shuji Tsushima.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke glared at him: "See what I'm doing. How can I know what's going on with this suspicious person."

**

Fitzgerald also wanted to ask what was going on with this suspicious looking guy.

[Ellen Poe] Seeing that he didn't answer himself, he smiled without hesitation, and began to introduce himself naturally: "I forgot to say, my name is Edgar Allan Poe."

Hearing this name that was exactly the same as his own, Fitzgerald's expression became even weirder.

The man opposite him seemed to see what he was thinking, and showed an interested expression: "Do you know someone with the same name as me?"

Fitzgerald caught the hole in the man's words: "How do you know it's the same name?"

[Ellen Poe] put down his crossed legs: "It was Dazai who told me that there seem to be a lot of famous people here."

Fitzgerald's first reaction was Osamu Dazai from the Armed Detective Agency, but soon he asked, "Which one?"

[Ellen Poe] glanced at him approvingly: "It's the Dazai in our organization."

Although [Ellen Poe] gave a logical answer, Fitzgerald still felt a subtle sense of disobedience.The look on his face when he asked that question just now was more like seeing his subconscious thoughts than he had known about the person with the same name.

——However, this conjecture is so absurd that Fitzgerald just thought about it for a while, and then quickly threw it behind him.

The crow held the back of his neck, and together with [Ellen Poe] slowly landed on the riverside of Yokohama, and landed on the shoulder of its master again.

Fitzgerald looked at the white whale in the sky, and slowly exhaled: "I lost."

And it's a way to fail that makes people feel dumbfounded.However, unexpectedly, Fitzgerald found that he was not so disappointed now.

Because after he calmed down, an alternative plan came up in his mind.

...Shuji Tsushima.

Just as Fitzgerald repeated the name in his mind, he heard the man next to him ask again: "Mr. Fitzgerald, are you interested in cooperating with our "Writer Association"?"

After a brief loss, Fitzgerald quickly regained his spirits.He looked at [Ellen Poe] proudly, not like a loser, but like a high-class person at a banquet, he replied proudly: "I have never heard of the name of the "Literary Association". Wouldn't it be an organization more remote than an armed detective agency?"

[Ellen Poe] still had an elegant demeanor, and was not at all offended by Fitzgerald's provocation: "Although you want to deny it, you seem to be right."

"Because of this, I took the initiative to attack, so as to make a fortune when you are at your worst."

Fitzgerald was not angry at his almost straightforward words, but instead snorted softly and said, "Even if I fail, it's not someone like you who can take advantage of it at will."

[Ellen Poe] did not answer his question, but directly changed the subject: "By the way, why did Mr. Fitzgerald attack Yokohama?"

It wasn't a secret, and Fitzgerald responded with the real answer, "For my wife."

Then he heard [Poe's] polite voice: "Ms. Zelda?"

Fitzgerald took a deep look at him: "It seems that you don't know everything."

Aoki Araya smiled and acquiesced to his words.

——Of course he couldn't tell, Zelda was the wife of Francis Fitzgerald in his own world.

[Ellen Poe] raised his hand, and gently stroked the black feathers of the crow with his fingers. Every move contained an extraordinary elegance.

At the same time, the crow also tilted its head and rubbed [Ellen Poe]'s slender fingers coquettishly.

The pair of favorites looked at Fitzgerald with similar sharp eyes, with a determined expression: "It seems that Ms. Zelda's physical condition has deteriorated recently."

Fitzgerald frowned - he didn't even mention such details to the members of the "combination". How could this man who appeared suddenly know: "Where did you hear that?"

Aoki Araya put down his hand, and said softly, "Didn't you tell me Mr. Fitzgerald yourself?"

As an extremely well-known genius writer, "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" written by [Ellen Poe] is recognized as the world's first mystery novel.

After he became a Heroic Spirit, this reputation turned into a skill, allowing him to naturally understand the unfinished details from other people's words and actions.

Fitzgerald's previous idea that he could read minds was inaccurate, because [Ellen Poe] just had a natural ability to reason in detail.

The leader of the "combination" looked at the smiling [Ellen Poe], almost thinking that he was in front of him in a trance, the "demon" Fyodor D who possessed a powerful technique of worrying.

Fitzgerald came back to his senses, and simply admitted his purpose: "I came to Yokohama to get the 'book' that can fulfill all wishes, and use it to treat my wife."

Hearing this, Aoki Araya thought of the Holy Grail inappropriately.This universal wishing machine, which claims to be able to grant any wish, has brought few satisfactory results.

Therefore, he kindly suggested to Fitzgerald: "It is better not to pin any wishes on things that do not understand people's hearts."

This is Aoki Araya, not [Ellen Poe], a proposal made by the mentally abnormal Foreigner.

Fitzgerald finally looked at him: "It sounds like you've been through a lot."

"Of course," [Poe's] voice rose eerily, "for my Lord is all-knowing and all-powerful—"

Before he finished speaking, several black tentacles poured out from his shadow, blocking several attacks from the void.

After the rattling sound, the tentacles disappeared from the field of vision, while the shadow behind [Ellen Poe] suddenly swelled into a distorted figure the size of several people.Just looking at the past, the indescribable mental shock makes people want to vomit.

He lowered his head slightly, some long bangs covered his dark eyes, but the corners of his mouth raised high still revealed the madness in his heart:

"Good evening, Dazai. Long time no see."

As soon as the words fell, a translucent figure appeared in the field of vision of the two of them.

The white-haired handsome young man held a few knives between his fingers, and it seemed that his mental state was not affected by [Edgar Allan Poe's] madness.Throwing the seemingly innocuous weapon forward, he warned, "Don't do anything unplanned, Edgar Allan Poe."

【Ellen Poe】With a wave of his hand lightly, he knocked the murderous weapon to the ground.

He looked in the direction of [Osamu Dazai], but there was nothing in his eyes: "If you really want to threaten me, I suggest you bring out something that can make me afraid - such as your dear teacher Akutagawa Ryunosuke, not A few knives that don't serve any purpose."

【Osamu Dazai】rolled his eyes: "I also want Akutagawa-sensei to come over sooner, but unfortunately the second one came out is you with a brain problem."

The delicate atmosphere between the two is like an ice layer that is about to crack from the inside, on the extreme edge of cracking and not cracking.

However, [Ellen Poe] finally calmed down a little after this battle that could only be regarded as a warm-up.

At this moment, Fitzgerald suddenly said: "Excuse me, you are Shuji Tsushima, right? The one who shot me down from the 'Moby Dick' just now."

[Ellen Poe] Hearing this, he asked a little puzzled: "Is it necessary to change your name here, Dazai?"

【Osamu Dazai】Answered impatiently: "I just used another name, who knew that there are so many people who collide with their names here!"

Because he couldn't deal with this American writer, [Osamu Dazai] turned to chat with Fitzgerald: "That's right, why are you looking for me?"

[Ellen Poe] interjected unwillingly: "Mr. Fitzgerald," he pointed to the gray-haired young man with an unattractive face, "he is the sincerity of the "Writer Association" to cooperate with you. "

Fitzgerald's attitude towards [Osamu Dazai] suddenly changed from a customer to a commodity: "I see. Mr. Poe is really good at guessing people's hearts, and he can give such a considerate gift."

After being treated as an object, [Osamu Dazai] just sneered—mostly as a mockery against [Ellen Poe] having to rely on his own abilities, but he didn't express any other opinions.

Fairly reliable organization.And it's available.

Fitzgerald quickly accepted the fact that he would be working with an organization he had never heard of, perhaps from some country, after he had tried it out.

【Ellen Poe】bent down and performed the aristocratic salute in the nineteenth century, and still treated Fitzgerald with a warm expression: "It seems that Mr. Francis really wants to use Dazai's treasure to heal his wife."

As soon as he saw that the cooperation was expected to be achieved, the person's address to Fitzgerald was instantly shortened by several steps.

"My treasure?" Just thinking about it for a while, [Osamu Dazai] understood what the two of them were planning, "Unfortunately, the happiness brought by "Setting Sun" is false. If you want to heal someone If it is a mental illness, it can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.”

However, his kind reminder was completely ignored by the two people next to him.

While he was speaking, [Poe] had already reached a preliminary agreement with Fitzgerald on cooperation matters.

【Osamu Dazai】I felt my fist harden: "...Edgar Allan Poe, you must be sick."

"I'm already mentally ill," [Poe] was self-aware about it, "and this is the most cost-effective and stable source of funds at present. Give up your meaningless self-assertion, Dazai."

Fitzgerald pretended that he didn't hear the quarrel between the two elementary school students. He was in a very happy mood now—although he couldn't completely solve Zelda's psychological problems, as long as the "Writer Association" was there, he could drag it down for more than a dozen years. Nian is not a big problem: "Then I will ask the secretary to write the contract when I go back, and it will be delivered to you within two days."

[Ellen Poe] took the crow off his shoulder and handed it to him: "It can lead the way."

Fitzgerald took it coolly, and with a wave of his hand, he walked away from the two with ease.

After only two Heroic Spirits were left by the river, they looked at each other and sighed in unison——

I don’t know if I don’t try it, I’m startled when I try it, I’m really tired of acting to myself.

Aoki Araya propped up his chin, looked at the endless sea, glanced at the "white whale" that was falling towards the middle of the sea, then looked away uninterestedly, and began to think about the future plan.

...In short, let's build our own base first.Although heroic spirits don't need to eat or sleep, even a building that symbolizes power is nothing.

Also, how to expand the scope of the organization to the whole of Japan, to be honest, I haven't figured it out yet...

As soon as he thought of this, he felt that [Ellen Poe]'s spirit base suddenly became excited, and secretly urged Aoki Araya to summon his master, so that the world could witness the power of the "British Association"——

——Aoki Araya rejected this selfish proposal without any hesitation.

"Let's talk about building the base first."

Aoki Araya suppressed [Ellen Poe]'s voice of resentment, and decided to go to see the land tomorrow.

At this moment, he felt his panel suddenly vibrate twice again.

The author has something to say:

This Poe is a fanatic of Hastur, the king in yellow...

The inspiration comes from the fact that Poe's parents both acted as theater troupe actors, and it just so happens that "The King in Yellow" is a very famous script.

That's right, the "Ellen Poe" in this article is a setting that has become a Hastur believer before his death, which is completely groundless and completely imagined by me (
