Wenhao is my vest

Before Aoki Araya clicked on the panel, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind: "The one in front, is Tsushima-kun?"

【Osamu Dazai】Turn your head and look in the direction of the voice.

——It’s Chilin Haiyue.

Maybe it's because too many things happened today, even though we haven't seen each other for a few hours, Aoki Araya feels like reuniting with him after a long absence.

He quickly came back to his senses, and took advantage of the heroic spirit's excellent vision to glance at the street where Chi Lin Haiyue came from.

The street was already in chaos, full of cars colliding with each other and the high or low wailing of the injured.

[Osamu Dazai] nodded to Chibayashi: "Mr. Chibayashi is really lucky to have survived this catastrophe intact."

The sarcasm and temptation contained in this sentence are enough to make a normal person feel impatient, but looking from Aoki Araya's side, Akabayashi Kaiyue coughed lowly, and just changed the topic like this:

"Now that the 'combination' invasion has been perfectly resolved, what about the pier..."

Aoki Araya understands that Chibayashi Haiyue wants to get involved, and it is best to help him.

[Osamu Dazai] showed a embarrassed expression, and smiled at Chibayashi: "I seem to have mentioned before that I am not actually the member responsible for organizing foreign affairs."

Akibayashi Haiyue obviously still remembers this incident - after all, it has not been a few hours since the last time we met, so he only understood the meaning of "Dazai Osamu" after a few seconds of stunned.

He turned his gaze to [Ellen Poe], leaned on his crutches and asked, "Excuse me, is this...?"

[Edgar Allan Poe] Leaning on the railing by the river, he replied leisurely: "My name is Edgar Allan Poe, Chilin-kun, please call him whatever you want."

"After Dazai, I'm afraid he'll have to go abroad to deal with some matters, so just ask me about the dock."

He tilted his head: "Dazai basically told me everything, but if something goes wrong later, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Chibayashi-kun."

Chi Lin Haiyue smirked: "Where is it? So, what do you think Mr. Po should do next?"

【Ellen Poe】As if he didn’t realize that the incident at the pier had little to do with the “Association of Writers”, he gently suggested to him: “Before that, let Yokohama take care of the aftermath of this incident. ?”

No matter how stupid Chi Lin Haiyue was, she knew that [Ellen Poe] was not as difficult to deal with as [Osamu Dazai].

He closed his mouth, and listened carefully to the excuse that [Ellen Poe] gave himself: "Also, our "British Association" has been busy looking for a place to establish a base recently. In just a month or two, Yokohama It has been dealt with over there, and we have also resolved it here, and I think that is the right time for discussion."

Aoki Araya was relieved after successfully dismissing Chilin Haiyue away with a few words.

He stood there and considered for two seconds, and decided to deal with the identification first, and then to solve the problem of the base.

**

Two days later, I just got a new identity document from a certain organization—thanks to [Ellen Poe]’s observation ability, Araya Aoki found a way to solve the identity problem at once—the two heroic spirits Go to a luxurious clubhouse and meet Fitzgerald there.

There are four people in the box, and it happens that the "Group" accounts for half, and the "Writer Association" accounts for the other half.

【Ellen Poe】Sitting on the soft sofa, tapping the mahogany table with his fingers lightly.He narrowed his eyes slightly, and praised in an aria-like tone: "Mr. Francis, you are much more generous than I imagined."

There were two contracts in front of the blue-haired man.It stipulates in great detail that the "Literary Association" must guarantee Zelda Fitzgerald's mental health.And when Zelda is in good condition, the "combination" will provide huge financial assistance to the "British Association".

Fitzgerald has the air of a nouveau riche: "I have money."

"I have already bought a piece of land in Yokohama, as long as I confirm that Shuji Tsushima's ability can work on Zelda," Fitzgerald prefers to use "Tsushima Osamu" even if he knows the real name of [Dazai Osamu] "Xiu Zhi", "then this piece of land is the deposit I paid you."

【Ellen Poe】Sold out his colleagues without any hesitation, and his position was very clear: "I believe Dazai will not have any problems."

However, it was Araya Aoki who believed that the Noble Phantasm of [Dazai Osamu] would not be a problem when used by ordinary people-after all, this was originally the ability to target heroic spirits whose will was infinitely stronger than ordinary humans.

The only thing he needs to worry about is to be careful when opening the Noble Phantasm, lest he use too much force to make Fitzgerald's wife happy enough to burn out her brain.

[Ellen Poe] After confirming the terms of the contract, he signed his name very simply.

The cap of the pen closed with a click, and the man took his own copy of the duplicate documents, together with the detailed information on the land that Fitzgerald kindly provided, stood up and spoke to the others in the box Farewell: "Then, happy cooperation."

The abandoned [Osamu Dazai] rolled his eyes at this hypocritical guy, and almost couldn't wait to drive him away: "Compared to Edgar Allan Poe in the "combination", you are simply a brain problem bastard."

[Ellen Poe] Hearing this sentence, after a short pause, he took his crow back from Fitzgerald's hand with a smile, and left the box without looking back.

After he walked out of the hall under the guidance of the waiter, he looked up at the endless gray-blue sky of Yokohama.

Aoki Araya closed his eyes, on the surface he was contemplating, but in fact he was secretly asking if the spirit bases of the two heroic spirits had any plans for the future—especially [Ellen Poe], which was probably the only one he had left before forming the base. leisure time.

[Ellen Poe] said that he still needs to think for a while, so the spirit base of [Dazai Osamu] answered him first, expressing that he wanted to have a try with Fitzgerald's secretary, a woman named Louisa.

Aoki Araya slowly put out a question mark: ... what?

【Osamu Dazai】He repeated it very seriously, and expressed his appreciation for this kind of women who have their own ambitions and are quiet and quiet.

Aoki Araya's aphasia: ...Thank you, but I'm really not interested in what genre you like.

At the same time, in the box of the clubhouse.

Louisa Alcott had just packed up the documents on the desktop, raised her head and was about to give a friendly smile to the partner of the "group", when she saw the young man who had a name with Osamu Dazai, a member of the Armed Detective Agency, using A creepy look looked at him.

Luisa trembled all over: "Please, may I ask, Mr. Dazai, do you have any questions?"

——【Osamu Dazai】Of course there is no problem, the person with the problem is Aoki Araya.

Aoki Araya looked left, right, up, down, but couldn't see what [Dazai Osamu] liked, so I have to regretfully admit that I really don't have the slightest nerve for love.

However, Aoki has already realized that he inexplicably has a subtle doting mentality towards all heroic spirits, so even if he can't understand it at all, he is not prepared to go against [Dazai Osamu]'s wishes——

After a few seconds of unbearable silence, Luisa saw the white-haired young man gently roll up his sleeves, a soft smile appeared on his pretty face.

He stood up from the sofa, walked around the mahogany table in the private room and walked to his side. During this process, 【Osamu Dazai】had been looking at her with slightly compelling burning eyes, and his every move was unusually agile, But with a certain quaint appeal.

[Osamu Dazai] stopped at a distance of [-] centimeters from Luisa, covered his heart with his right hand, and simply knelt down on one knee:

"Louisa," said the handsome young man in a tender voice, "I fell in love with you at first sight."

Fitzgerald looked at Osamu Dazai with a sincere expression, then turned his head to look at Louisa who had a blank expression, and sighed with a look on his face: "—Oh."

Seeing that the person who confessed to him ignored him, [Osamu Dazai] got up from the ground, took two steps forward, held Luisa's hand, and looked forward like water waves: "The first time I saw you, I already thought about it. I figured out how to go to hell with you and fall into the arms of Izanami."

"Whether it is hanging, drowning, poisoning or suffocation, as long as it can make us sleep forever..."

When he said this, Luisa finally reacted.

The chestnut-haired woman blushed, and the sudden increase in temperature almost fogged her glasses.

Luisa shook off [Osamu Dazai]'s hand as if it was burning, closed her eyes, and tried to raise her slender voice: "Excuse me...excuse me for refusing!"

There was no sound on the other side.

After a few seconds of silence, Luisa opened her eyes suspiciously, only to see a man with red eyes.

[Osamu Dazai]'s eyes were as red as peach blossoms, transparent tears overflowed from his black and white eyes, and fell on the neckline of the kimono patter: "I see, I'm sorry... As expected, people like me are not ..."

Halfway through the speech, he sniffed and choked up a sob, completely unable to continue.

Luisa's thoughts at this time completely coincided with Arya Aoki's: ——How could a normal person accept the invitation to die in love from someone they met for the first time!Can you stop being so unreasonable! !

But Louisa is still a good person anyway, and she can't leave this man who looks like a little daughter-in-law alone.She quickly waved her hand, indicating that the problem was definitely not with 【Osamu Dazai】: "Mr. Dazai, you are actually a very good person..."

Fitzgerald snorted.

Luisa was about to faint: "Captain, why are you still reading jokes! Come and help me!!!"

**

Completely different from the chaotic situation in the box, [Ellen Poe] was peaceful here.

While the heroic spirit was still thinking about the next itinerary, Aoki Araya began to sort out the problem of the mission.

Two days ago, as soon as Chi Lin Haiyue walked away, he immediately clicked on the panel, and saw that several side tasks were refreshed on the task column.

He suddenly understood: it seemed that his novice period had finally come.

Generally speaking, there will be a novice protection period at the beginning of the game. During the protection period, no matter what actions the player makes, it will not lead to death.

From another point of view, there is no guarantee for Aoki Araya's life safety now.

However, the expression on Aoki's face didn't change at all, he just looked at all the tasks more carefully.

When he finally finished browsing, he hid the panel out of sight as he wished.

After reading, Araya Aoki was able to confirm that no matter whether the requirement of the main line [expanding the organization scale] is a long-term or phased task, the branch line that was drawn just now is essentially developed around it.

For example, the three newly released missions, [Resolve the Dock Incident], [Achieve a friendly reputation with an unspecified organization (1/3)], and [Build a base (0/2)], are almost in the clear. Urge Aoki to expand the size of the organization quickly.

However, compared to the complicated task requirements, Araya Aoki noticed that the rewards given on the panel are extremely simple, two are [unlock new Heroic Spirit Cards], and one is [unlock the number of team members].

——Wait, team up?

Only then did Aoki Araya realize that he seemed to have overlooked something.

He hurriedly shifted his gaze to the storage room of the spirit foundation, and sure enough, he saw a new setting at the bottom of this part.

——Also, after the novice mode is over, a new way of playing will be loaded.

The spirit base storage room has been divided into upper and lower halves.There are two familiar cards on the top, which are [Dazai Osamu] and [Ellen Poe], but the bottom has changed a lot, and it is neatly divided into five vertical frames.

The two cards currently owned by Araya Aoki are all filled in the first two boxes, but the last three vertical boxes are locked by chains, and there are three big characters "to be unlocked" written on them.

Aoki Araya speculated that this probably means that the current upper limit of the number of heroic spirits that he can control at the same time is 2, which can gradually increase to 5 as the mission is completed.

I just don’t know if there will be missions to increase the number of teams in the future... It’s just that if five heroic spirits are online at the same time, it’s still a bit difficult to support the existence of an organization.

Just as he was thinking about this, Aoki Araya suddenly felt a response from [Ellen Poe]'s spirit base, expressing that he had thought of what to do.

Aoki Araya interrupted his thinking, waiting for his words.

After two seconds, [Ellen Poe] spoke out his decision.

——Very concise, one sentence can sum up his thoughts.

He wanted to see the "Edgar Allan Poe" of the world.

This idea is actually very normal.If [Osamu Dazai] hadn't happened to meet Osamu Dazai in this world at the bookstore, I'm afraid he would be very interested in it.

Especially after seeing all the supernatural beings with the same name who are similar to the literary giants in history but have many differences, [Ellen Poe] knew that the "self" in this world actually worked under Fitzgerald, You can take advantage of this free time to meet him.

No purpose other than pure curiosity.For [Ellen Poe], it is also a rare, purely happy thing.

After understanding his thoughts, Aoki Araya began to think about the way to achieve this goal.

Of course he can go back to find Fitzgerald, but the box is still noisy, [Ellen Poe] also expressed that he does not want to get involved in [Dazai Osamu]'s troublesome love and hatred, so Aoki Araya had to regret Abandoned the idea.

——Using crows to find someone?

Aoki Araya quickly rejected this idea.Crows can indeed be used to find a way, but it takes several times more time to find someone, and it is only when the other party and oneself are in the same city.

What should we do?

Aoki Araya was unusually distressed.
