Wenhao is my vest

A few hours ago, [Akutagawa Ryunosuke] came to the port mafia, somewhere in Ikebukuro.

After finally establishing a base—to be precise, a large area of ​​Yagiri Pharmaceuticals was assigned to the diplomatic department of the "Bungo Association", [Ellen Poe] finally did not have to work from early morning to midnight every day like before. , a little free, and only need to deal with a few hours of documents in the afternoon every day.

The main reason is that although Yagiri Hae has no shares, he is still in charge of the same work as before.

So [Ellen Poe] only needs to beat back all the people who come to the door without eyes.

[Ellen Poe], who is very good at physical business warfare, really feels relaxed recently.

So when he met Orihara Rinya when he went out, he was actually in a pretty good mood.

The black-haired and red-eyed information dealer did not show any haggard look on his face, and he greeted [Ellen Poe] calmly: "Oh, what a coincidence, Mr. Poe."

【Ellen Poe】After taking a look at the person, he said with a smile: "Did you come to me specially?"

Orihara Lin also shrugged: "Su Nanhui has something to ask me... But it's okay to say that I came here specifically to find you, Mr. Edgar Allan Poe."

[Ellen Poe] pointed in the direction of Yagiri Pharmaceutical: "If you have something to do, go to the base of the "Writer Association" and talk."

Orihara Rinya: "... To be honest, I didn't expect you to do this."

Aoki Araya noticed that he said "will do it" instead of "can do it" - it seems that Orihara Rin should already know what [Ellen Poe] thinks.

[Ellen Poe] waved his hand and asked, "Do you want me to take you there?"

Orihara Lin also felt that there must be nothing good: "No, it's better to walk slowly and chat while walking."

【Ellen Poe】With regret, he withdrew his hand—he really wanted to fly Orihara Lin back to the base: "Okay."

Orihara Rin also looked at the huge area of ​​Yagiri Pharmaceutical: "Your organization should be the type that seeks refinement but not excess?"

——Although the direction of "fineness" seems to be a little bit off.

[Ellen Poe] understood Orihara's meaning: "The prerequisite for us to choose a base is not the size of the area, but whether it will increase the 'popularity' of the organization 'Association of Writers'."

Aoki Araya: ...?

Wait, this is the first time he knows about this.

However, [Ellen Poe]'s spirit foundation didn't explain to him, Aoki Araya had no choice but to continue to talk to Orihara Rinya: "So Yokohama and Ikebukuro have built such a large base, once because of Fitzgerald Ladd was reluctant to invest in a smaller estate, primarily because Yagiri Pharmaceuticals itself was large enough."

He smiled: "It's just a coincidence."

What Araya Aoki didn't say is that [Ellen Poe] chose Yagiri Pharmaceuticals for another reason: the base in Ikebukuro must not be smaller than the base to which [Akutagawa Ryunosuke] belongs.

Aoki Araya: ...This Foreigner is probably only in the kindergarten class.

This reason is too embarrassing, he really can't say it.

Orihara also accepted Araya Aoki's explanation. After all, the annexation of Yagiri Pharmaceuticals was indeed an operation that shocked all the local forces in Ikebukuro: "What is 'famousness'? Is it the food for your survival? Just like in some myths, gods need to rely on humans The setting of faith to enhance strength?"

【Ellen Poe】Blinked his eyes and smiled gently at him: "Who do you think you are, why should I tell you?"

Orihara Rinya: "..."

For the first time in his life, his thick skin actually gave him the upper hand in a one-on-one.

Orihara Lin, who always felt that he would definitely be beaten up if he continued to ask, also changed the subject in time, restraining his curiosity as an information dealer.

He leaned closer and asked, "Don't you guess why I came to you?"

[Ellen Poe] glanced at him suspiciously: "With this tone, are you accidentally treating me like Shiga-kun?"

Orihara Rinya: ...help.If it was possible, he didn't want to say a word to this man who was always pissing off other people's brains every day.

He took a deep breath and held on firmly: "So you really guessed it."

"Probably." [Ellen Poe] saw that he had reached the gate in front of him, swiped the key card, and walked into Yagiri Pharmaceutical with Orihara Rin, "Mr. You want me to go to Fyodor-kun, or come to me and ask me how to break the curse—there are probably only three possibilities.”

Orihara Lin also stopped fiddling with the knife: "Although Mr. Poe's way of speaking is very annoying, the speed of getting into the topic is also very fast."

[Ellen Poe] withdrew his gaze from observing his facial expression, and turned his head: "It seems to be the second and third reasons."

Orihara Lin also started touching the knife again: "You are so annoying."

[Ellen Poe] swiped another key card and walked into a pure white building: "This is the floor where Yagiri Pharmaceuticals treats guests. If you want to say something, you can say it directly now."

Orihara Lin also understood that [Ellen Poe] was urging himself to speak quickly, but after thinking for a second, he still didn't step in: "I'll just stand here and talk."

[Edgar Allan Poe] laughed: "Is it worth your vigilance?"

Orihara Lin also retorted: "Who knows if you will arrest him and give him a sedative, forcing me into that dream that has no use other than driving him crazy."

[Ellen Poe] After thinking about it for a while, I realized that if my interest came up, maybe I would really do it.

But he still seriously denied it on the face: "Yagiri Pharmaceuticals no longer conducts human experiments."

Orihara Rin also changed the topic: "'Majin' Fyodor D is still in Japan."

[Ellen Poe] nodded his chin: "Ah, actually, I still know about this matter, and he seems to be wandering around Ikebukuro recently."

Orihara Rinya: "...Why do you know so clearly?"

Which of the two of us is the intelligence dealer?

[Ellen Poe] walked out of the gate and communicated with him face to face: "I have to thank Shiga-kun for this matter."

Orihara Rin also thought about it: "Shiga Naoya and Fyodor D... I remember they met once in Yokohama?"

[Ellen Poe] nodded and admitted the statement: "When Fyodor-kun wanted to leave, Shiga-kun always felt that it was not good to let him go so easily, so he cast about seven or eight tracking magics. on him."

Orihara Rinya: "..."

His first reaction was: "You didn't cast tracking magic on me, did you?"

[Ellen Poe] glanced with pity: "Shiga-kun said you look so pitiful, so you just let it go."

Orihara Lin also gritted his teeth: "...Then thank you all."

[Edgar Allan Poe] replied in a relaxed tone: "You're welcome. Any more questions?"

Even if Orihara had it, he didn't dare to ask any more, otherwise he might be scolded around the corner again.

He took another deep breath: "No more. Now that Mr. Poe already knows the location of the 'Devil', the previous curse—"

[Ellen Poe] poked the black-haired man's shoulder with his index finger, and interrupted him with a smile: "Do you think I will think that you sent the Dull Horseman to your door out of kindness? It is impossible to help you ,give up."

Orihara Lin also returned to the state of an information dealer, and said with a playful smile: "As long as the result is good, isn't it all right?"

"...You're right." [Ellen Poe] pondered, "As long as the result is good—so Orihara-kun, you and I will find Fyodor-kun to cooperate."

Orihara Rinya: "...?"

He froze for a moment: "What did you say?"

Seeing that [Ellen Poe] was still smiling at him, Orihara Rin couldn't help but add: "Don't you have a grudge against Fyodor-kun?"

[Ellen Poe] shook his head and sighed: "In the face of the interests of adults, there is no overnight feud."

...why make it sound like I'm not an adult!

The Ikebukuro intelligence dealer, who has grown up for several years, feels a little speechless.

[Ellen Poe] is still saying: "And Shiga-kun has already taken revenge on Fyodor-kun for me."

I knew this person would not be so kind.

In front of [Ellen Poe], even a well-known intelligence dealer in Ikebukuro couldn't help turning into a spitting slave: "It's really clear, Mr. Edgar Allan Poe."

【Ellen Poe】Confidently replied: "After all, I am also the Minister of Foreign Affairs!"

Orihara Lin also replied with a bright smile: "Then it seems that the "Bungo Association" will close down before next year at the latest!"

[Ellen Poe] touched the corners of his eyes, and said gently: "I almost forgot, I haven't lifted the curse for you yet."

Orihara Rin also shut up very flexibly.

[Ellen Poe] touched his eyes and asked him: "Want to work with the two of us?"

Orihara Lin also swears: "Of course. This matter is very interesting when you hear it." No wonder.

[Ellen Poe] sighed: "It's a pity that Shiga-kun is not here now... Forget it, it would be nice to get a verbal guarantee."

"—I'll kill you if you break your oath."

After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand, tapped lightly on Orihara Rinya's forehead with his fingertips, and took back the curse he cast himself: "It is thanks to you, Orihara-kun, that the three-person cooperation can be achieved."

Orihara Lin also felt that this person must have nothing good to say, but he just couldn't restrain his curiosity: "Why?"

[Ellen Poe] replied: "Except that the mental fluctuations are indeed not as stable as before, I don't see any sign that you believe in our Lord..."

He showed a disdainful look: "I really have no talent."

Orihara Lin was also speechless.

Just as he was about to answer, "Isn't it a good thing not to have such a talent?", he heard a somewhat familiar female voice announce from behind: "Mr. Poe, Mr. Fyodor who was reserved has arrived in the reception room."

Orihara Rin also turned his head and saw Yagiri Namie, the former chairman of Yagiri Pharmaceuticals.

After Yagiri Nami walked away, Orihara Rin also followed [Ellen Poe] who was walking towards the reception room, and asked: "Yagiri Pharmaceutical is a family business, right? Others who protested against you taking over Yagiri Pharmaceutical What about people?"

[Ellen Poe] opened the door of the reception room, and replied without looking back: "They are all in the hospital."

Then he nodded to the Russian sitting near the edge of the back door and said hello: "Mr. Fyodor."

Fyodor D put down the brochure of Yagiri Pharmaceuticals in his hand, and evoked a thin smile: "Po-kun, Orihara-kun."

Orihara Rinya quickly jumped to the middle seat, and sat down carelessly with his legs crossed.

[Ellen Poe] also chose a seat at random and sat down, and raised his chin towards the two people opposite him: "Since everyone is here, let's get straight to the point—Mr. Fyodor, you destroy What are the plans for Yokohama?"

Orihara Rinya's knife fell.

He immediately opened his mouth before Fyodor D: "Mr. Poe, why didn't I know that the so-called 'cooperation' of the two of you refers to this kind of content?"

[Ellen Poe] looked blankly: "Mr. Orihara, have you stayed with Mr. Shimao for too long recently? Has your IQ been affected?"

Orihara Lin also sneered: "I quit."

【Ellen Poe】smiled and said, "Then I'll kill you."

Orihara Rinya: "...I never said anything before."

He felt very bitter.

Fyodor pretended that he hadn't heard anything just now: "I have a friend who is very obsessed with a certain existence in Yokohama."

[Ellen Poe] and Araya Aoki's first reaction was the "book" mentioned by Fitzgerald.

However, Fyodor's next sentence overturned this conjecture: "He regards that supernatural power as his highest pursuit, but he doesn't know which supernatural power he is looking for. "

[Ellen Poe] became interested: "How does he obtain the supernatural power he wants? Is it an adult human specimen?"

Orihara Rinya: "...Isn't it impossible to use supernatural powers after death? This kind of operation is not feasible."

[Ellen Poe] pointed his finger: "Sorry, I forgot that there is no 'seal designation' here."

Fyodor shook his head towards [Ellen Poe]: "His ability itself can take out the crystals of other people's abilities."

This setting made Araya Aoki immediately think of the spirit core of the heroic spirit: "After the power crystal is taken out, will the carrier of the power—that is, human beings themselves, die because of it?"

Fyodor shook his head again: "Of course not."

Rather, [Ellen Poe] who subconsciously believes that losing the crystal will die...

Fyodor felt as if he understood something.

Orihara Lin also said, "Who is your friend?"

"It seems that Orihara-kun already has someone in mind." Fyodor raised his head, "After all, you are an intelligence dealer, and you must know the identities of the wanted criminals very well—"

Orihara Rin also narrowed his eyes: "Shibusawa Tatsuhiko. Are you going to lure him back to Yokohama?"

Aoki Araya: "...Shibusawa Tatsuhiko?"

The other two turned their heads abruptly and looked at him: "What's wrong?"

Fyodor asked with a smile: "Is there another character with the same name in the "Literary Association"?"

"No, that's not it..." Araya Aoki quickly adjusted his tone back to the [Ellen Poe] mode, "I just feel like I've heard of it too—maybe I saw it when I was collecting information a few months ago. "

While talking, he really remembered that he had seen the information about "Shibusawa Tatsuhiko".And, according to [Ellen Poe]'s own spiritual base thoughts:

"The effect of his supernatural ability should be to let the supernatural being who has lost his supernatural ability and his own supernatural ability kill each other?"

Fyodor nodded: "That's right. I originally wanted to use Shibusawa-kun to deal with Dazai-kun—but it was because I was the only one who wanted to attack Yokohama."

"Now that Po-kun and Orihara-kun are also involved in this plan," he laughed, "maybe we can be a little bolder."

Orihara Rinya: ...No, it has nothing to do with me, don't just drag me along.

He felt that his good record of zero wanted so far might be forced to be broken because of these two people.

"So," Fyodor stroked the cover of the book, "our topic now should focus on which supernatural being will be chosen as a sacrifice to the gods."

After he finished speaking, he tilted his head and looked at [Ellen Poe]: "What do you think? Mr. Poe."

[Ellen Poe]'s spiritual base was revived.

However, while the other two were quietly waiting for [Ellen Poe]'s answer, they saw the blue-haired man frowning.

Because in Yokohama, [Akutagawa Ryunosuke] released the Noble Phantasm to the leader of the port mafia.

Logically speaking, [Ellen Poe] located in Ikebukuro would not be able to feel the magical reaction of another city—not to mention, [Akutagawa Ryunosuke] actually didn't use the maximum release of the Noble Phantasm.

However, who made Aoki Araya, who is a man in the middle, be able to get news between different vests at the same time without delay?

So [Ellen Poe] said to the other two after a pause, "I'm going to Yokohama now."

Fyodor was a little surprised: "What's wrong?"

——Of course [Dazai Osamu] cannot be allowed to know what happened in the port mafia!

Of course, it was impossible for Aoki Araya to say such words.

So he chose to tell a part of the truth: "A member of our organization blew up the building in Port Mafia."

Fyodor: "..."

Orihara Rinya: "..."

Such an exciting answer, even a smart person did not expect it.

Two seconds later, Orihara Lin also said slowly: "As expected of you "Association of Literary Heroes"."

After the annexation of Yagiri Pharmaceutical, it was too troublesome, so it directly blew up the headquarters of Port Mafia.

Aoki Araya always felt that Orihara Rinya's eyes looked weird, as if he had misunderstood something.

But now he has no time to continue chatting, but stood up abruptly, and nodded to them: "Let's talk about this later, or communicate via email later-as long as we meet in reality , confirming that a temporary alliance is sufficient."

As soon as the words fell, he didn't care about the reaction of the person opposite, he kicked away the obstructing chair beside him, and quickly disappeared in place like the wind.

[Ellen Poe] rushed to Yokohama with the advantage of being able to stay in the air.

However, in the middle of the journey, his spirit foundation still raised a question: "Can we really reach the port mafia before Dazai?"

Aoki Araya was silent for a while: "...No problem."

Because [Osamu Dazai] had an accident at this time, as expected.

**

[Osamu Dazai]'s spiritual foundation felt the magical response from the direction of the port mafia the moment [Akutagawa Ryunosuke] finished reading the lines of the Noble Phantasm.

Unlike the previous ones where it was difficult to distinguish the class because they didn’t use their power, this time because [Akutagawa Ryunosuke] released the Noble Phantasm, [Osamu Dazai], who is fairly familiar with the magical attributes of [Ellen Poe], saw it at once. out:

"That Heroic Spirit in Port Mafia is not Mr. Poe!"

It is known that Aoki Araya has only summoned four heroic spirits in total. After sweeping away himself and Shiga Naoya who is already offline, he can clearly understand that the magic power of [Ellen Poe] is obviously different from that of [Edgar Allan Poe]. Who is the Heroic Spirit planted?

【Osamu Dazai】Shut up and stand up, without saying a word of nonsense, he walked towards the outside of the manor.

Aoki Araya had a headache: "Dazai-kun, calm down." I have already used the maximum speed.

【Osamu Dazai】For the first time, I feel that the gate of the manor that will slowly stretch inward and open is so annoying: "But that's Mr. Akutagawa!!"

Considering that this person has never seen [Akutagawa Ryunosuke] even after he became a Heroic Spirit, Aoki Araya still didn't say anything serious to him: "I have asked Po-kun to Yokohama to deal with this matter."

【Osamu Dazai】It's very innumerable: "Why don't you let me handle it? This is Yokohama, right?"

When the communication reached here, the door of the manor finally opened wide enough for a person to pass through.

[Osamu Dazai] As soon as he squeezed out sideways, he saw a very familiar man at the door saying hello to him: "Yo Tsushima-san! I have something to ask Mr. Zhaopo, you know him..."

【Osamu Dazai】Go forward without looking back.

Osamu Dazai grabbed [Osamu Dazai]'s wrist: "Why are you in such a hurry today? At least listen to what I have to say before leaving."

【Osamu Dazai】He stomped his feet impatiently, and pointed in the direction of the port mafia with his other hand: "Look over there!"

Osamu Dazai raised his head and looked in the direction he pointed.

Only then did he realize that the distinctive top floor of the port mafia building with floor-to-ceiling viewing windows had completely disappeared.

Dimly, Osamu Dazai could still see a few small figures floating in the air from here.

Osamu Dazai couldn't hold back: "Pfft...Mr. Mori is finally getting retribution, isn't it, someone who seeks revenge has come to his door?"

【Osamu Dazai】Stamped his feet anxiously: "That's not what I meant... Mr. Akutagawa was over there just now!"

Osamu Dazai was taken aback: "Eh? What?"

Is the relationship between you and Akutagawa Ryunosuke so good?Have developed rapidly enough to call each other "teacher"?

【Osamu Dazai】I really want to be rushed to death by this person.He couldn't help but rolled his eyes at the person: "Forget it, I'll take you there together! Let's talk about it later!"

Osamu Dazai: "...Wait, so what's going on now..."

He suddenly raised his voice: "Wait, wait! Wait!"

His cry failed to stop [Dazai Osamu] from hugging his own princess.

Thus, Osamu Dazai was hugged by the other party, and rushed towards the port Mafia.
