Before Osamu Dazai pressed the dial button, Fyodor suddenly said: "Mr. Dazai, my subordinates are also in this shop."

Osamu Dazai took a few steps in their direction, looked around at the people in the shop who were a little chaotic due to the murder, and complained: "After so many years, Mr. Fyodor, you still like to leave unnecessary behind-the-scenes .It's really annoying."

Even though he was saying such words, there was no trace of reluctance on Dazai's face.He moved the phone back into his pocket smoothly, and sat down in a position farther away from Fyodor.

He waved his hands, showing a disgusted expression: "You can do things like threatening others with the lives of ordinary people. Sure enough, the 'devil man' is still that rat in the gutter."

Fyodor raised his left hand and stroked his neck with his index and middle fingers together—this was an overly provocative and threatening gesture.

He finally gave up his pretense of innocence, and smiled secretly: "It's great that Dazai-kun understands. After all, I don't want to provoke the military and police here now. Considering Shiga-kun's strange luck, I will leave enough for myself." Is it normal to think of the way back?"

Although it was the vigilance accumulated over the years of intelligence work that allowed Ivan to follow him, Fyodor did not expect that this second hand could really be used.

"Ah." Shiga Naoya sighed dully, "So you are a 'Majin'. Unexpectedly, you are an ordinary person. When I heard this nickname, I thought it would look like Satan or a devil."

Moreover, he had thought about how to deal with Fyodor D before, but this person had already voluntarily sent him to his door...

——Also, you clearly said "the dessert shop has your own subordinates", but why [Dazai Osamu] felt that there was a sniper on the roof of the hospital's top floor who was diligently targeting us?

He is really lying anytime and anywhere to save himself...

[Osamu Dazai] Sitting closer to the "Majin", after hearing Shiga Naoya's words, he couldn't hold back his words for a moment: "Why do you think someone will grow up like that? This world is basically composed of ordinary people right?"

Shiga Naoya: "There are no photos in the materials we got! It's normal for me to have a slight misunderstanding!"

He widened his eyes, looking really aggrieved: "Isn't it because I met a head in Ikebukuro... But now I see Lasko... No, Mr. Fyodor looks so much like an ordinary person, and Dazai-kun, who is still very good at fighting, is also here, so I am relieved."

[Osamu Dazai] sneered: "Let's not talk about what happened to the so-called 'meeting the head', do you think I will protect you?"

Shiga Naoya was stunned: "We are colleagues who belong to the "Bungo Association"! And I am Shiga Naoya, Shiga Naoya! How could you not—"

【Osamu Dazai】Every time I can't talk with Shiga Naoya, I will get angry, this time is no exception, I interrupted him directly: "Do you know something in your heart..."

Shiga Naoya responded very skillfully: "Forgive me Dazai-kun, I have seriously reflected on it!"

【Osamu Dazai】Take a few deep breaths, barely suppressing the urge to splash coffee on Shiga Naoya's face.

He slowly turned his head to look at Fyodor, and asked with a cold face: "Did you know that Mr. Shiga is coming here today, so you waited in the dessert shop?"

Shiga Naoya asked naturally: "Huh? Just now, Dazai-kun, didn't you say that you would never protect me?"

Before [Dazai Osamu] really poured the coffee over, he raised his index finger and shook it, and added in time: "And Dazai-kun, your idea just now is not feasible... because even I myself, two hours ago I didn't expect to come to the dessert shop next to this hospital."

Osamu Dazai sneered and said, "Maybe Fyodor-kun wants to achieve the greatest benefit through another action?"

"Here," he stood up, walked to the French windows of this dessert shop, and pointed in the direction of the hospital, "As long as you sit here, you can clearly observe the people entering and leaving the hospital, as well as their actions."

Fyodor smiled: "Dazai-kun, it's better not to take advantage of my blind spot when explaining. It's better to try to send messages to others."

Osamu Dazai drew out his right hand, which had been quietly put in the pocket of the windbreaker, with no trace of guilt on his face: "Mr. Fyodor really doesn't know how to be funny. I should call it killing harm for the people."

Shiga Naoya looked relaxed: "Under the current situation, you can still joke with each other. Could it be that it's different from what I thought, and the relationship between you two is actually pretty good?"

Osamu Dazai asked: "Mr. Shiga, don't you have a good relationship with Mr. Tsushima?"

Shiga Naoya shook his head: "I obviously want to have a good relationship with Dazai-kun, but I don't know why every time he chats with me, he starts crying..."

The red-haired boy puffed his face depressed: "And he always scolds me while crying, even someone with such a good temper like me can't help but get a little angry!"

【Osamu Dazai】Slammed the coffee cup in front of him on the table with a bang: "I've said it countless times, can you have a little bit of self-knowledge about your own sick mind, even a little fingernail?"

Shiga Naoya tilted his head: "At this time, whether I say yes or no, Dazai-kun, you seem to be angry."

"So let's go back to the original topic!" The boy clapped his hands enthusiastically, "It's about why Mr. Fyodor met me in the murder case so coincidentally!"

Fyodor smiled wryly: "Shiga-kun, I thought the detectives you brought would give priority to investigating murders, rather than the type who has always been obsessed with innocent people like me."

Shiga Naoya's eyes flashed silver again: "Didn't you kill the person?"

Fyodor's tone was very affirmative: "I have no need to kill a stranger."

Shiga Naoya looked at Osamu Dazai: "Unfortunately, it seems that he really didn't lie."

"Exactly." Fyodor chuckled, "You can't accuse others without evidence, Dazai-kun."

He was talking to Osamu Dazai of the Armed Detective Agency, but the next person to speak was [Osamu Dazai] of the Bungo Society.

"In fact, I also think this matter is very troublesome..." The white-haired young man folded his arms and shook his head, "Our "Writer Association" is indeed investigating Fyodor D, but it is only because the current highest-ranking love It’s just that Lun Poe wants to do this. It doesn’t matter what I say—after all, no matter how I think about it, the incident at the dock will involve me, and more than half of it is Mr. Poe’s fault, right?”

"Rinya Orihara and Fyodor D have nothing to do with me, because I'm only temporarily in charge of the branch of the "Bungo Association" that is huddled in Yokohama."

In fact, although part of the reason is that [Dazai Osamu]'s spiritual base doesn't want to care about it, it's more because the Noble Phantasm of "Sunset Sun" is an anti-human type, and it can't completely cover the entire dessert shop .

Even if Fyodor is under control, his accomplices may find out in time that something is wrong.In this case, neither the safety of the people in the dessert shop can be guaranteed, nor can he be 100% sure that he can catch Fyodor D.

——Whether Shiga Naoya, who does not mention the camp and is more inclined to be kind, can bear this matter, even [Dazai Osamu] can't bear the result of this kind of bamboo basket fetching water in vain.

Shiga Naoya is used to his overly lax attitude: "You can always find something to be lazy about, Dazai. Mr. Poe is not here, and I can't stop you. If it leads to something that will make Akutagawa-kun very angry, I will Are you not responsible?"

"Don't try to use Mr. Akutagawa to intimidate me." [Osamu Dazai] said that he doesn't like this, "I'm not the same as the 'blind follower' in your department, no matter how you say it, I can still tell which things should be obeyed , what things should not be."

"Wait." Osamu Dazai, who had been listening silently, suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two of them, "Did you mention a familiar name just now?"

Shiga Naoya: "Who? What name?"

[Osamu Dazai] is keen on this matter: "It should be referring to Akutagawa-sensei. When I visited the port mafia before, I met a character with the same name as Akutagawa-sensei... Although that guy is completely different from Akutagawa-sensei, It's really annoying."

"Ah, speaking of this topic," Naoya Shiga digressed again, and began to talk about other things, "there are 'Osamu Dazai' and 'Edgar Allan Poe' in this world, but I didn't get it Any information about 'Shiga Naoya'."

"Mr. Poe said to Ranpo-kun in this world before, 'Aoki Araya has no counterparts in this world because he is an ordinary person without talent'-if we judge according to this statement, wouldn't it be Have I become an ordinary person too?! This is impossible! I must find the Shiga Naoya of this world!"

Osamu Dazai made a stop gesture: "Wait a minute. Please let me ask two questions first, is that okay?"

It was the first time he had given most of his attention to someone else when meeting the "Magic Man".I have to say that although there are reasons for the insufficient amount of information I have, it is more because [Osamu Dazai] and [Shiga Naoya] are too difficult to deal with when they are together.

Shiga Naoya readily agreed: "Okay, anyway, before the police arrive at the store, I, the first person to find out, have nothing to do. Just ask what you want, Dazai-kun, I don't mind?"

Dazai Osamu said: "The first question. I want to ask Mr. Tsushima... In short, it is the name 'Akutagawa-sensei' mentioned earlier. Could it be that, Tsushima-kun, do you like this Akutagawa-kun very much?"

Although he was dismissed tactfully, Shiga Naoya, who couldn't hear the hidden meaning in Dazai Osamu's words, began to laugh "fufufu".

【Osamu Dazai】Waved his hand at him: "Why are you laughing so hard? I don't think respecting Akutagawa-sensei is something that can be used as a joke. If you continue to laugh, I will really treat you Let's do it."

Shiga Naoya explained to him: "It's good to respect and admire someone. But... sorry, I can't help laughing every time I think of the anecdotes about you and Akutagawa-kun."

Obviously, he is usually a person with a lot of shame, but when [Akutagawa Ryunosuke] is mentioned, [Dazai Osamu] seems to be a different person, and he becomes eloquent: "Mr. Shiga, you actually think I can't do it right?" ?Although I am indeed far inferior to Mr. Akutagawa—whether it is writing, dealing with people, or the concept of dealing with the world, I am still very immature."

"But even so, it's better not to start laughing at me as soon as this topic is brought up?"

Shiga Naoya was stunned: "Do you think I'm laughing at the fact that you haven't won the Akutagawa Award in your whole life?"

[Osamu Dazai] pounded the table: "I didn't! And why do you put on an expression of sudden realization? Your opening will only make people angry! After all, why can a guy like you get Akutagawa-sensei Your respect is really annoying!"

Shiga Naoya was silent for a while, and turned his attention to the other two for help.

Fyodor received his explicit instructions: "I originally wanted to leave after quietly listening to Dazai-kun's question." He propped his chin, "But the way you two chat is really divergent, So let me preside over the topic."

【Osamu Dazai】Curse people: "Isn't it all the fault of Mr. Shiga who insisted on making me angry?"

Shiga Naoya grimaced: "Don't use honorific names when you scold me, it sounds like I use power to suppress people."

Fyodor interrupted them: "I think what Dazai-kun meant just now is that in this world, 'Dazai Osamu' is the teacher of 'Akutagawa Ryunosuke', and it's not that 'Dazai Osamu' admires' Akutagawa Ryunosuke'...it's amazing, but it's the complete opposite."

Shiga Naoya made a nasal sound: "Actually, Dazai-kun and I have almost guessed that this might happen."

[Osamu Dazai] frowned: "I didn't. Don't just get me involved."

Shiga Naoya was a little surprised: "Hey, didn't Mr. Poe tell you about 'Ellen Poe' and 'Edogawa Ranpo' in this world?"

"It is said that the 'Ellen Poe' of this world regards 'Edogawa Ranpo' as his only old enemy and best friend, and his usual actions are mainly based on the idea of ​​'Edogawa Ranpo'."

[Osamu Dazai] Thought he had entered some prank show by mistake: "Ellen Poe? Do you regard Ranpo Edogawa as an old enemy? Are you kidding, what is Akutagawa-sensei?"

——I'm sorry, Mr. Akutagawa.

Aoki Araya silently apologized to [Akutagawa Ryunosuke] in his heart: Before you were drawn out, you were already forced to have an old enemy.

After thinking for a while, Shiga Naoya replied: "The 'Akutagawa Ryunosuke' in this world probably has nothing to do with 'Ellen Poe'... It seems that the port mafia is not very familiar with the 'group'."

[Osamu Dazai]'s surprise quickly passed, and the whole person has calmed down: "It's okay. After seeing that 'Akutagawa Ryunosuke' turned out to be that kind of guy, I didn't take them too seriously as our peers." Understand—otherwise, wouldn’t it be a bit too insulting to Mr. Akutagawa’s heart?”

Osamu Dazai interjected: "Mr. Tsushima is really open-minded, but I can't do this kind of thing."

He had a gloomy expression on his face: "Thinking that I worshiped my former subordinates in another world, the more I think about it, the less happy I will be."

"Won't I be sad when I see Akutagawa-sensei in this world like this?" [Osamu Dazai] sighed and spread his hands, "After I knocked him out, I even thought—or else I would just procrastinate like this Let him go into the water together? I really can't accept such a deep and desperate event!"

The two of them looked at each other, feeling that they had reached a consensus on Akutagawa Ryunosuke.

Osamu Dazai saw that someone was suffering from this matter more than himself, and his mood immediately brightened: "Then the next question is the second one~"

He pointed at the table with his finger: "Excuse me, who is the 'Aoki Araya' you are talking about? Listen to your tone just now, what did you say 'a person as incompetent as Aoki Araya'..."

Shiga Naoya tilted his head: "Because Araya can't use magic. As an ordinary human being, he is of course 'incapable'."

After he finished this sentence that seemed to be disdainful, he added another sentence temporarily: "But Araya's character is much cuter than Dazai-kun, so I actually like him quite a bit!"

【Osamu Dazai】Silently: "Is there really a human being that you really hate in this world..."

Shiga Naoya said frankly: "I hate guys who kill people for no reason in front of me!"

【Osamu Dazai】Having a headache, he complained again: "Why are all the foreign affairs department full of bastards like you who don't have the right brain..."

"I told the people in Mafia at the port before that people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can negotiate better than me." He covered his face, "It's too embarrassing, I don't care about you..."

"Haha!" Shiga Naoya smiled brightly, "Because Araya likes all of us very much! So no matter what bad things we do, he will forgive us!"

Fyodor suddenly said: "Listen to what you said, is this person named 'Aoki Araya' the leader of the 'Bungo Association'?"

【Osamu Dazai】: "The title of leader sounds a bit awkward... But if you insist on thinking that the "Bungo Association" is a rigorous organization like the port mafia, then you can call it that."

Fyodor asked gently: "But don't you already have a diplomatic service?"

——There are diplomatic departments, and you still insist that you are a loose interest society?

"Hahaha!" Shiga Naoya laughed again, as if he remembered something interesting, "Except for the ministers of various departments and Dazai who said that he would go to the gas with Tan Kazuo to die for love because he could not become Mr. Akutagawa's subordinate." Except for you, all of us are drawn by lottery to decide which department to stay in?"

"Of course!" Shiga Naoya began to whine again, "Because of luck, Dazai-kun and all his friends are not in the same department! Rather, because he became Akutagawa-kun's subordinate, and The people in his same department turned out to be..."

Before Shiga Naoya could finish his words, Dazai Osamu laughed gloatingly at his misfortune.

【Osamu Dazai】Called in despair: "Shut up! You are a big mouth who spreads news everywhere all day long!"

Shiga Naoya said aggrievedly: "Well... this matter is obviously very interesting..."

Fyodor picked up the book he put on the table and said, "It seems that the police will arrive in two minutes. I'm afraid I have to leave first."

"As expected of a mouse," Osamu Dazai sneered, "No matter where you are, you can get news from the gutter."

Fyodor perfectly ignored Osamu Dazai's trash talk: "Since Dazai-kun asked two questions, can you give me one by the way?"

Shiga Naoya said frankly: "No! Do you think we are some novice guidance center? We are so generous to Dazai-kun because we want to reach a friendly relationship with the Armed Detective Agency, but there is no need for the "Bungo Association" to have a relationship with the Rat of the Dead House. Is there something involved?"

"It seems that Orihara-kun sold my information to you." Fyodor covered his mouth and said to Shiga Naoya, "Since Mr. Poe wants to take revenge on me, he must also want to take revenge at the same time. Is Orihara coming?"

Shiga Naoya opened his eyes wide and complained, "How could this be possible. You are so annoying."

"Okay, okay," he pursed his lips, "Remember to send me information about Orihara Rinya later? I promise you, if you have any questions, just ask."

Fyodor smiled hypocritically and apologetically, "What exactly is the 'Hasta' that Poe believed in?"

Shiga Naoya: "Ah..."

He suddenly hesitated.

[Osamu Dazai] leaned over: "Mr. Shiga, are you hesitating? Information of this level is beyond what we can disclose. It involves higher-level knowledge. In order to prevent any accidents to human beings, this matter must at least It's up to Araya to decide..."

——This sentence is completely conveying the emotion of [Dazai Osamu] Spirit Foundation, and Arya Aoki hardly made any changes.

—So, why should it be up to me to decide?

Aoki Araya was a little puzzled.

"So," Fyodor said quietly, "Where is Mr. Aoki Araya now? If he is in another world, when can he come over?"

【Osamu Dazai】Shaking his head: "You'd better give up."

Fyodor: "Why, he doesn't see outsiders?"

【Osamu Dazai】: "No. It's just that Araya is neither in this world nor in other worlds."

The white-haired young man coughed remorsefully: "Araya is now between Schrödinger's life and death... To be precise, Aoki Araya is still just a corpse for the time being."

Fyodor: "...?"

Osamu Dazai: "...does that sound cool?"

Fyodor spoke with difficulty: "What do you mean?"

"That means," [Osamu Dazai] replied, "I can't tell you this information now. We won't be able to report to you until Aoki Araya is resurrected."

Fyodor shook his head: "No. I was indeed more interested in 'Hasta' at first... But now, according to your words, do you have the ability to resurrect human beings? Or, that Aoki Are there any?"

Shiga Naoya: "Well... considering Mr. Poe's ability, it is indeed not difficult to resurrect a single human being."

In the world view of Cthulhu, there is a corresponding spell for the resurrection of human beings—however, although he knew the ability of the resurrection spell at the moment he got [Ellen Poe], Aoki Araya did not think that this thing was harmful to him what effect.

He subconsciously affirmed it without even using it.

"However, most of the souls after death are broken, and some are even annihilated directly—" Shiga Naoya's expression suddenly became quiet, and he was very serious, "What we want to resurrect is the complete 'Aoki Araya'. Therefore, the "Association of Literary Heroes" borrowed other methods."

Fyodor asked: "What method?"

【Osamu Dazai】reached out and covered Shiga Naoya's mouth: "This can't be said!"

——Actually, it’s because I can’t say anything at all.

The system thing is really ridiculous, Aoki Araya has never figured out its principle until now.For a while, he even thought that everything that happened after he came to Yokohama was a flashback before his death.

"That's interesting." Fyodor stood up and said with a smile, "Since you gave me half of the information, I can only give you half in exchange."

"Goodbye then."

Fyodor walked to a corner of the dessert shop.

Shiga Naoya looked at him, and moved his fingers lightly as if fiddled with something.

After 2 minutes, [Osamu Dazai] said like a notice: "The two people in the dessert shop and the sniper on the roof of the hospital have left."

Osamu Dazai's mouth twitched: "...a sniper?"

What an exaggeration.

"In the end, we only know that Fyodor D is not the murderer of this murder," [Osamu Dazai] let out a sigh of relief, "It seems that not only I am a waste, but even Mr. Shiga is about to change. It tends to be trash."

"Even if Fyodor-kun didn't directly attack the deceased, the death of the deceased is definitely related to him." Osamu Dazai took a sip of coffee slowly, "That's the existence of the 'Majin'... wherever he goes, It will only bring endless chaos and disaster. Even me a few years ago, one of the most hated people has this guy."

"It should be instigated to kill." Dazai Osamu put forward the most possible idea, "to arouse the worst and darkest desires in the hearts of human beings, and then use the greed brought about by their desires to achieve their own goals."

Shiga Naoya puffed up his cheeks: "Ah. It's the type I hate the most. Obviously his attitude towards people until just now was so gentle."

【Osamu Dazai】He said out loudly: "Are you targeting us with a sniper, ready to shoot at any time? This is the first time I've seen it."

He complained: "When I covered your mouth just now to prevent you from speaking, I was really afraid that a bullet would hit me from the hospital... Although it is unlikely to hurt me, the floor-to-ceiling windows of the dessert shop will definitely hurt you." Shatter it? It's not good if it hurts innocent people."

Shiga Naoya smiled and nodded: "Compared to Fyodor-kun, Dazai-kun is really a good boy! You are so good, I will buy you candy after this case is over!"

【Osamu Dazai】clenched his fists: "Can you shut up for me?"

However, Shiga Naoya's attention has been attracted by the police car driving to the entrance of the dessert shop: "Ah. The police finally came."

He asked Dazai Osamu: "The police in Yokohama are really slow... Is it because the port mafia often causes all kinds of troubles and the police force is not enough? Also, you are from the Armed Detective Agency, why don't you go and call Hello?"

Osamu Dazai was clearly looking for trouble: "Forget it, I'm not at all interested in solving cases caused by people like Fyodor."

While they were talking, several police officers who arrived at the scene had sealed off the area around the corpse, and began to investigate seriously.

【Osamu Dazai】Looking at the police officers who were standing next to the dead body and communicating in low voices, something seemed wrong: "Mr. Shiga, look, is that younger police officer looking at us all the time? Have you been suspected of being a murderer?"

Lucky E's radar sounded quickly and vigilantly.

Shiga Naoya didn't take it seriously: "Are you thinking too much? How could I be so unlucky? Mostly because I wanted to ask us about the murder case, or because I recognized Mr. Dazai and wanted to ask him to handle this matter. .”

【Osamu Dazai】Muttered in a low voice: "You really can't be that unlucky, but now I'm by your side."

"Did you forget?" [Osamu Dazai] asked Shiga Naoya, "When I was in the hospital, which two people happened to be heard about Oda Saku?"

Shiga Naoya didn't like to hear such dejected words: "Dazai-kun, how can you be so superstitious!"

【Osamu Dazai】Helpless: "Who is it who is so confident in his own luck? After all, this is also a kind of superstition!"

Osamu Dazai finds it very interesting every time he hears the quarrel between these two people, and he can't help booing beside him: "Come on, the manga between the two of you is so interesting!"

[Osamu Dazai] His fist hardened: "Mr. Shiga and I are not animals in the zoo! Even if Mr. Shiga admits that he is, I can't be!"

Shiga Naoya tilted his head: "Dazai-kun, what are you talking about? How can a human being be an animal? You can't stand me standing next to you for too long. Are people finally stupid?"

【Osamu Dazai】I can't take it anymore: "Do you understand people's language or not? You must be sick!"

Just before 【Osamu Dazai】was about to punch Shiga Naoya, the young police officer he mentioned before suddenly stepped forward and walked towards the three of them.

As soon as he came in front of the three of them, his first move was to say hello to Osamu Dazai: "Excuse me, are you the Dazai-kun of the Armed Detective Agency?"

"Look," Shiga Naoya said proudly, "I just said that my lucky EX is omnipotent!"

【Osamu Dazai】Put down your fist and roll your eyes at him.

Osamu Dazai replied: "That's right... I was recognized by you. What's the matter?"

"Actually," the young police officer glanced at Shiga Naoya, "We now suspect that this red-haired young man is the murderer of the deceased. You are sitting with him, you should know this person, right? I can ask you about Any questions about the case?"

Shiga Naoya put down his fork: "...Why?"

Shiga Naoya couldn't believe it: "Why was I identified as the suspect instead of the unlucky Dazai!"

【Osamu Dazai】Angrily replied: "Why me?! And how many times have you told me before you speak!"
