Wenhao is my vest

[Akutagawa Ryunosuke] Sitting in a prison like a square fish tank.

However, unlike ordinary fish tanks, the edge of this cage, which is about five meters in length and width, is made of a single-way mirror.

That is to say, although the inner structure can be clearly seen from the outside to the inside, when people look from the inside to the outside, they can only see their own clear reflection.

[Akutagawa Ryunosuke] was sent by [Ellen Poe] to the Supernatural Secret Service Division—after all, [Dazai Osamu] was still waiting downstairs, and Aoki Araya would not choose any side at will, but Responsible for playing the role of adjudication similar to Justitia.

Therefore, in order to prevent [Osamu Dazai] from attacking the two of them, [Ellen Poe] immediately decided to send Ango Sakaguchi and [Ryunosuke Akutagawa] directly to a forest designated by Sakaguchi before landing on the ground.

However, on the way back alone, [Ellen Poe] bumped into [Osamu Dazai] who was hurriedly running here.

【Osamu Dazai】As soon as he saw the figure of 【Ellen Poe】, he began to say the Noble Phantasm liberation line to the person without hesitation:

"Golden sand at the bottom of the river, flashes of sorrow..."

[Ellen Poe] took a few steps back: "Is this necessary? — Dazai," he said to [Dazai Osamu], "Your Akutagawa-sensei did not express any objection to my action. "

[Osamu Dazai] released the Noble Phantasm just to let the bastard [Ellen Poe] know how serious he is.

Therefore, after realizing that [Ellen Poe]'s way of speaking was still as out of tune as before, but the content was much more serious than before, [Osamu Dazai] still temporarily interrupted the release of the Noble Phantasm.

He replied: "Do you think Mr. Akutagawa's opinion can represent my opinion? Mr. Poe - I don't know when you became so naive."

"Still," [Osamu Dazai] is like a vicious dog growling threateningly at humans, "do you think that the relationship between all people who admire and are admired will be the same as Ranpo-kun and you?"

[Ellen Poe] stared at [Osamu Dazai] for a while, and answered——different from pretending to be a subordinate, when there were only two people around, Aoki Araya completely reproduced the emotions inside the spirit base: " Indeed, during the previous Holy Grail Wars, I ran into Ranpo-kun of 'that class' a few times."

He squinted his eyes, as if recalling something: "That person is not so much admiring me, it's better to say that he turned this admiration-like emotion into a happy food for him to fill his own self... because of this , he will obey me."

[Dazai Osamu] frowned: "So?"

[Ellen Poe] replied: "Dazai, you can't have this overly sharp nature, because you are just an ordinary Assassin."

He raised the corner of his mouth and added: "So, your feelings for Akutagawa-kun will definitely appear more normal—but what I didn't expect is that your 'normal' is just a comparison. Among the people in the world, Akutagawa-kun's respect for Shiga-kun is the most acceptable to ordinary people."

[Ellen Poe] glanced at him: "Dazai-kun, actually I asked Araya to recommend a few of your articles to me..."

[Osamu Dazai] became more and more impatient: "If you talk nonsense again, I will knock you down here, and then go to invade the Supernatural Secret Service Division—whether I succeed or fail, I may be able to meet Akutagawa-sensei."

[Ellen Poe] couldn't help laughing twice.

He took two steps forward, raised his index finger and middle finger together, and tapped 【Osamu Dazai】on the heart.

He lowered his voice: "You haven't realized your true feelings yet. Does Osamu Dazai really want to see Ryunosuke Akutagawa? Dazai, why don't you torture your heart?"

Before [Osamu Dazai] slapped his hand, [Ellen Poe] withdrew his hand in time: "Among all the works I have read, one of your articles about faith and love by Dazai made me very happy. Interested." *Note

【Osamu Dazai】Coldly said: "Stop talking nonsense."

"Oh, could it be that you poked the reverse scale in your subconscious?" [Ellen Poe] used a pompous aria, "I'm really sorry-although I still have to remind you that you are now This indifferent attitude is exactly the same as that Akutagawa Ryunosuke from Mafia at the port, right?"

He bent his index finger, tapped the corner of his mouth, and said mischievously, "Don't become someone you hate, Dazai."

"Although you put on a sad mask and hide your true face with tears." [Ellen Poe] is almost explicit, "but it is best not to forget your true self—or, It’s not impossible to use the masked self as my true self, as long as I can establish my own existence.”

He smiled and said, "Whether it's a believer or a heroic spirit, isn't it all like this?"

[Osamu Dazai] The edge of the knife in his hand reflected the orange-red light of the setting sun.

He asked: "Do you think I will lose myself because of Mr. Akutagawa?"

"How could it be?" [Ellen Poe] shook his head, "If I regard the belief in the gods as the meaning of existence, and Mr. Ranbu regards his external emotions as the food for establishing himself, then you regard your own The phantasy of yours has become that fragile mask."

"However, fantasies are too far-fetched. So I'm just suggesting that you don't go to see Akutagawa-kun, at least not now."

[Ellen Poe] nodded his chin again: "Well, but in fact, it's mainly because I need Akutagawa-kun to stay in the Ability Secret Service Division until the white mist rises."

"I'm doing this for everyone's benefit—whether it's an existence you hate or is close to, you have to thank me for this gift."

【Osamu Dazai】frowned and scolded: "Can you say something that people can understand?"

[Ellen Poe] replied with a smile: "Except when deliberately disgusting others, no."

[Osamu Dazai] Tapped the knife edge with his fingertips: "So what's the use of talking so much? Don't we still want to fight now?"

【Ellen Poe】sighed: "Array is going to be sad now."

【Osamu Dazai】Angrily scolded: "Don't try to use Araya as an excuse to suppress my actions!"

Aoki Araya: ...Why does it feel so weird to hear my name being spoken out of my vest when no one else is present?

However, Aoki Araya really didn't want his vest to beat him again, so after thinking for two seconds, he simply suggested to the two heroic spirits: "Why don't you do this."

Aoki Araya said: "I'm going to persuade Akutagawa-kun to come to Dazai-kun as soon as he gets out of the supernatural special affairs department..."

He sighed and said, "So you two stop arguing."

【Osamu Dazai】The way of thinking is very uninhibited: "Then why can't you let me also enter the Supernatural Secret Service Department to accompany Mr. Akutagawa?"

Araya Aoki and [Ellen Poe] replied simultaneously: "Are you sure you can stay with Akutagawa-kun after you go in?"

[Ellen Poe] also deliberately added: "Instead of one living in the southeast corner of the base, the other lives in the northwest corner of the base."

【Osamu Dazai】: …….

This conjecture was so reasonable that he couldn't say anything to refute it.

Aoki Araya pondered for a while again: "Dazai-kun, if you insist on entering the Supernatural Secret Service Division, it's not impossible."

【Osamu Dazai】I understand what he means: "Are there any conditions?"

Aoki Araya replied: "That's right. If you must do this, then next time I will ask Shiga-kun to pull Chuya-kun out."

【Osamu Dazai】Weighed it up:

If he chooses to enter the supernatural affairs department now, he may not see Mr. Akutagawa, and he will be chased and beaten every day by that bastard Chuya in the future.

He immediately replied: "Then let's wait for Akutagawa-sensei to come out. ——Wait, how long will it take for him to come out, won't he stay until the Ability Secret Service Division closes down?"

[Ellen Poe] replied: "Why would I do this to my colleagues. And Akutagawa-kun is also the type who thinks he won't consider other people's ideas after his price is settled, so it's only about a week. "

[Dazai Osamu] I was relieved.

**

The people from the Supernatural Secret Service Division couldn't relax.

Ever since [Akutagawa Ryunosuke] was escorted to the Supernatural Special Affairs Division, they thought that a few hours ago, there was a type who was the same as Ayatsuji pedestrians and was reasonably cooperative.

In the end, after inquiring about both the conjuration world and the port mafia, I found out that this man who seemed to be very obedient except for talking a little less had a history of going crazy and destroying a building in the conjuration college and port mafia.

It's not an order of magnitude compared to what [Ellen Poe] did at the pier.

After hastily raising the danger level of the person to level B, the Supernatural Secret Service Division locked [Ryunosuke Akutagawa] in a cage built in imitation of the Meursault Prison.

——After that, even more strange things happened.

The ability user named [Akutagawa Ryunosuke] sat directly on the only bed after entering the cell, maintaining a still posture, quietly watching his own reflection in front of him like a plaster sculpture carved by an artist.

In the first few hours, the people in the Supernatural Secret Service Division thought it was just his hobbies like being in a daze.

However, until now, a whole week had passed, and the man hadn't moved even a millimeter.

——Except for the action of closing the eyes in the middle of the picture.

In other words, he neither ate nor slept this week, as if he didn't need the activities that humans do for basic body functions.

At first, the Supernatural Agents Division thought that [Akutagawa Ryunosuke]'s ability "assimilation" could replenish the energy he needed, but this speculation was quickly overturned:

Because after Ango Sakaguchi contacted [Ellen Poe] of the "British Association", he got a negative reply from him.

However, the deeper reason [Ellen Poe] is no longer willing to disclose, saying that it has already involved the important secrets of the "Literary Association"——

Although in fact it was only because Araya Aoki found a way to "hang up".As long as you reduce the consciousness that you divert to [Akutagawa Ryunosuke], you can reduce the consumption of mental energy while ensuring the existence of the heroic spirit.

And when he didn't know, in order to find out the true ability of [Akutagawa Ryunosuke], the Supernatural Secret Service Division recruited a man they thought could solve this problem.

"Murder Detective", Ayatsuji pedestrian.

However, what the Supernatural Secret Service Division wants to use this time is not his superpower "Another", which is sure to kill the murderer, but the rare sharp mind of Ayatsuji pedestrians.

When necessary, the special department established specifically for people with supernatural abilities is still very quick to act.

So after an hour and a half, Ayatsuji pedestrians were forced to set off from their detective agency and came to the inside of this familiar base.

The blond-haired and eye-catching man taunted as he walked forward: "Has the Supernatural Secret Service Division already declined to this level? Even a supernatural person who doesn't know the ability needs to kill me, the 'murder detective you've been on guard against all this time. 'Come on, please?'

The few people who followed Ayatsuji pedestrians were already used to his very poignant speech habits, so at least they didn't show any excessive disgust on the surface, but respectfully invited people in. In the cell where 【Akutagawa Ryunosuke】was.

Ayatsuji pedestrian sat down on a temporary chair, stared at the black-haired man in front of him who seemed to be in meditation for a few seconds, and asked:

"Don't you think this cell is like a fish tank?"

[Akutagawa Ryunosuke] Of course there is a reaction to external stimuli——

So, Aoki Araya first said to [Ellen Poe], "Ayatsuji-san has arrived at the Supernatural Secret Service", and then said to [Akutagawa Ryunosuke], "Slope-kun knows that you have met with Ayatsuji-san", The water is served steadily, but it feels like a nesting doll.

But this is enough for [Akutagawa Ryunosuke] to understand what [Ellen Poe] probably wants to do.

He opened his eyes under the surveillance of the Supernatural Secret Service Division, and finally responded to the outside world: "So that's how it is."

Including Ango Sakaguchi, everyone in front of the monitor thought that his words were in response to the question of Ayatsuji pedestrian just now, but the person sitting opposite [Akutagawa Ryunosuke] didn't think so.

He stared at [Akutagawa Ryunosuke] with uncomfortable sharp eyes: "Are you communicating with people outside?"

There was an uproar in front of the monitor.

Ayatsuji pedestrians looked at [Akutagawa Ryunosuke]'s obviously impossible to hide things, and raised his eyebrows curiously: "Did you hide the communicator inside your body? Where? The heart?"

[Akutagawa Ryunosuke] shook his head: "I don't have a communication tool to communicate with the outside world."

Ayatsuji pedestrians continued almost the moment he finished speaking: "That is, there is a person with similar abilities in the "Bungo Association"."

Aoki Araya felt that it was okay to tell him—or, it would be better to use this statement as an excuse for the members to respond quickly in the future: "That's right."

[Akutagawa Ryunosuke] There was no wavering on his face: "It's Araya Aoki, the leader of the 'Bungo Association'."

Ayatsuji pedestrians will not let go of this question lightly: "Why are you so cooperative with me? The leader's ability should be considered a secret, can you tell people so easily?"

[Akutagawa Ryunosuke] The reaction was quick: "Araya told me that I can tell you—compared with us, his ability is not worth mentioning, and it's not bad to be able to exist as a price for deterrence."

"——This is Araya's original words."

Ayatsuji Xingren recalled the information given to him by the Supernatural Secret Service Division, and suddenly asked: "Aoki Arya really exists? It can't be the person you invented to block the knife, right?"

Aoki Araya: ...

When only [Osamu Dazai] had a vest, he was questioned about the authenticity of the "Bungo Association". After finally waiting for the number of vests to increase, he began to be questioned about his authenticity again.

Is this the legendary Feng Shui turn?

[Akutagawa Ryunosuke]'s spirit foundation resolutely denied this statement: "Without Araya, there would be no existence of us. Mr. Ayatsuji—this is your name Araya told me—please don't treat him in the future So disrespectful."

Ayatsuji Pedestrian sighed, raised his head and looked at the surveillance camera: "From Aoki Araya's topic, you should be able to ask for information. Whether you choose to provoke him or flatter him, it has nothing to do with me. Anyway, my task has already been completed. Done, can we go now?"

After a rustling sound, Ango Sakaguchi's voice came out from the microphone next to the camera: "Mr. Ayatsuji, the task we give you is to 'ask Akutagawa Ryunosuke's real ability', not to 'ask for the ability. The Secret Service came up with a solution'."

"Well, I should have figured it out a long time ago," Ayatsuji pedestrian shrugged, "Just judging from the overall quality of those who monitored me, 90.00% of the people in the Supernatural Secret Service Section copied the standard answers and could be wrong. Okay idiot."

After saying this, Ayatsuji turned to look at [Akutagawa Ryunosuke]: "Then..."

[Akutagawa Ryunosuke] raised his hand, and tore the handcuffs in half under the watchful eyes of everyone: "Come behind me."

Ayatsuji pedestrian frowned: "Huh?"

His first reaction was to question the Supernatural Secret Service: "Is the quality of your handcuffs okay?"

Supernatural Secret Service Division: "..."

It was Ango Sakaguchi who came to his senses first: "Akutagawa Ryunosuke," he stopped sharply, "sit back on the bed again! Otherwise, we will punish your behavior as prison escape!"

[Akutagawa Ryunosuke] indifferent: "This is Po-kun's plan."

Anyway, I can't escape the palm of [Ellen Poe] if I can't leave this cell, so I might as well choose one that is more in line with my wishes.

While he was speaking, a white mist that came from nowhere gradually spread, completely covering the entire Supernatural Secret Service—no, not just the Supernatural Secret Service, but Yokohama.

Ango Sakaguchi found that all the colleagues around him had disappeared.

He instantly understood which supernatural person did this, and gritted his teeth: "Shibusawa Tatsuhiko."

In the cell, Ayatsuji Xingren looked at the golden human-shaped supernatural body in front of him, expressionless: "...What is this?"

【Akutagawa Ryunosuke】Looking at the supernatural body in front of him, he raised his hand and shattered the gemstone on the opponent's forehead without talking nonsense: "There is a conjurer sneaking into the supernatural secret service department."

Ayatsuji pedestrians quickly realized that the one just now was probably his ability "Another", and no longer entangled in this topic: "Conjurer? What is that?"

[Akutagawa Ryunosuke] Of course he wouldn't talk nonsense with him, even being able to explain just now is considered his greatest kindness.

He took a step forward and hugged Princess Ayatsuji Xingren.

Ayatsuji pedestrian: "...?"

What happened in those few seconds?

The homicide detective became confused in a rare way, but this didn't stop him from speaking venomously to [Akutagawa Ryunosuke]: "Are you suddenly going crazy, can't help but want to be someone's mother?"

He still remembered that [Akutagawa Ryunosuke]'s forbidden word was "daughter", so at least he didn't say it directly.

[Akutagawa Ryunosuke] very calm: "If you let it go, you may die."

The princess hug is a moving movement that can best protect the vitals of ordinary people.

[Akutagawa Ryunosuke] put one hand on the glass of the prison cell, and the spider's silk rolled up, quickly swallowing up the entire prison.

He frowned: "The accuracy of the spider's silk has dropped."

Is it because of this white mist?

He thought about it, but he still didn't put a spider's thread on the Supernatural Secret Service—[Akutagawa Ryunosuke] was afraid that if he was not careful, he would swallow the entire Supernatural Secret Service.

Lying in [Akutagawa Ryunosuke]'s arms, Ayatsuji pedestrians urged: "The danger I face is mainly brought about by that sorcerer, right?"

[Akutagawa Ryunosuke] nodded—although the conjurer should have been sent by the upper echelons of the conjurer world to assassinate him: "It's fine if you come out of the Supernatural Special Affairs Department. This fog can't possibly do nothing to the conjurer I'm worried that he can't control the power and affect you."

After saying this, he followed his memory of being escorted over a week ago, quickly walked through the complicated corridors, kicked open the door in front of him, and walked into the woods on the mountain where the Supernatural Secret Service Division was located.

He paused, and after putting Ayatsuji pedestrians on the ground first, he raised his eyes to look at the three people standing in front of him: "Mr. Po."

[Ellen Poe] stood between Fyodor and Shibusawa Tatsuhiko in white clothes, and greeted [Akutagawa Ryunosuke] with a smile: "Good evening, Akutagawa-kun. I just discovered this too Field fog partially obscures our detection—unbelievable, right?"

**

[Osamu Dazai] smashed the table in front of him with a punch: "I must go to the Supernatural Secret Service Division now."

Osamu Dazai's head hurt even more: "I've put on all my clothes, but now I can't even find the shadows of Fyodor-kun and Shibusawa-kun. Didn't we agree to meet at Karosei? Why is there only Dazai here? You are alone..."

I came to find [Ellen Poe] because I felt something was wrong before, but now it seems that I was really tricked.

Ever since people from the "Bungo Association" appeared in Yokohama, Osamu Dazai found that his scripts had basically no problems.

[Osamu Dazai] was so angry that he shed tears: "Mr. Po told me to come here, saying that Mr. Akutagawa is here!"

"I knew it, it was definitely Mr. Poe's good deed again! And he has always wanted Mr. Akutagawa to suffer a big loss—"

"Although I agree with your idea," Osamu Dazai stood up, "but what we should go to now is not the Supernatural Secret Service Division."

According to the mouse's nature, the more fancy parts are full of traps, and his real purpose is hidden in the deepest darkness.

[Osamu Dazai] I don’t pay attention to the big picture: "Mr. Akutagawa may have been injured by Mr. Poe now?! Obviously it happened once before——If this kind of thing really happened, I will definitely not Forgive them both!"

Dazai took a deep breath.

He didn't expect that at such a critical juncture, the first thing he did was psychological counseling: "The two of them? Are you referring to Mr. Po and Mr. Akutagawa?"

——I have a way to stop Mr. Po's plan from another angle. Do you want to come?

Before he could say this, 【Osamu Dazai】with tears in his eyes, replied in a low voice: "That's right."

"I will never forgive Akutagawa-sensei for being hurt."

He lowered his head, and his voice became smaller: "If Mr. Akutagawa will be hurt, why not let me kill him personally."

The author has something to say:

Note:

Poe said, "Among all the works I have read, I am very interested in one of your Dazai articles about faith and love." It refers to Mr. Dazai's "Leapfrog Appeal", which is also the article [Dazai Osamu] For the emotional reference of [Akutagawa Ryunosuke], if you are interested, you can go to my wb to see~

ps: The key word of [Osamu Dazai] is paranoia.
