Wenhao is my vest

[Edogawa Ranpo] I really like the feeling of being submerged in sea water and gradually sinking to the bottom of the sea.

In this endless dark blue space, it seems that there is only one person.

Not being noticed, not paying attention to others, a free and unrestrained lifestyle.

He slowly closed his eyes, trying to fall into a light sleep.

However, just a second before [Edogawa Ranpo] fell asleep, he felt his head hit something hard.

However, it is still slightly softer than the dining car that was intentionally hit before.

[Edogawa Ranpo] Opened his eyes, exerted a little force on his shoulders, and after turning a standard 180 degrees in the water, he finally saw what he hit just now.

It is neither the coral colony on the seabed nor the rubbish thrown into the sea by the citizens of Yokohama.

[Edogawa Ranpo] What I touched was the ribs of a black-haired man.

He suddenly shuddered.

——To be precise, it was Araya Aoki who recognized who this man was, and couldn't help but tremble.

Osamu Dazai, a member of the Armed Detective Agency, was floating in the water waves with his eyes closed, obviously losing consciousness.

Moreover, [Edogawa Ranpo] is currently at a depth where the sun cannot shine in. If he is not a heroic spirit, he might not be able to recognize who the man in front of him is because his eyes are smeared.

Aoki Araya quickly calmed down again.

Because, he was seriously thinking about a possibility: If he is ignored now and Dazai is allowed to die like this, can he sign a contract with this person?

This subconscious idea is very evil capitalist spirit.

But he quickly dismissed the idea.

Because Osamu Dazai probably doesn't have any nostalgia for this world—if that's the case, he probably won't agree to the conditions he gave.

Therefore, Aoki Araya still manipulated [Edogawa Ranpo] to pick up the opponent, swam to the shore with a disgusted expression, and threw him to the shore.

After climbing ashore, he also kicked the man along the way, so that Osamu Dazai would quickly spit out all the seawater in his stomach.

However, after kicking Osamu Dazai a few times in the stomach, [Edogawa Ranpo] heard a familiar shout from the coast: "Dazai——! Where did you bastard go?!"

[Edogawa Ranpo] is impossible to respond to him - after all, according to the setting, now [Edogawa Ranpo] should have investigated the armed detective agency secretly, but they don't know the members of the detective agency yet state.

Soon, Kunikida Doppo called Dazai Osamu's name and walked to a position where they could see both of them.

In fact, due to Dazai Osamu's bad deeds in the past, Kunikida Doppo noticed Dazai Osamu lying on the beach and [Edogawa Ranpo] squatting beside him in a daze almost instantly.

Kunikida Doppo hurried over.

At this time, the black-haired man lying next to him coughed and spit out a lot of sea water from his mouth, then slowly opened his eyes.

If it wasn't for the heroic spirit who could feel that this human being really just woke up now, Aoki Araya would almost suspect that he had calculated such a good time on purpose.

Kunikida Doppo directly skipped Dazai Osamu, went to [Edogawa Ranpo] and squatted down, tried his best to soften his voice: "Little friend, why are you next to this uncle?"

【Edogawa Ranpo】Glanced at Kunikida with the eyes of a perverted uncle.

Kunikida Doppo: "..."

This look was so obvious that even he couldn't help feeling that he had been hurt a lot.

Osamu Dazai was still lying on the ground, complaining weakly: "Why uncle? No matter how you look at it, I should be called 'brother', right?"

Kunikida pushed his eyes and replied coldly: "According to my estimation, if calculated in terms of life expectancy, you who have been trying to commit suicide can even be called grandpa now."

"Why is this like this!" Osamu Dazai forced himself to roll twice, and finally stopped because his body couldn't bear it, and vomited two mouthfuls of sea water in front of the two of them, "Oh, I thought I would definitely die this time. It worked... After all, I chose the wide and deep sea this time."

[Edogawa Ranpo] The emotion in his eyes did not change, but he turned his gaze to Dazai Osamu.

Dazai Osamu said "Hey": "What's the matter with this child? Why is he so unlovable and deserves to be beaten... Kunikida-kun, can I give this stinky child a good beating?"

Kunikida Doppo took off his glasses, pinched the bridge of his nose with a headache on his face, "So what's going on? No matter how unreliable Dazai you are, you wouldn't bring a child to die in love... you saw this child drowning Did you go to save someone afterwards?"

Although Dazai Osamu usually has a bad personality and likes to bully others, but Kunikida Doppo believes that this level of morality can be possessed by him.

Osamu Dazai propped himself up on the ground, and finally let himself sit up.There were dizzy humming sounds in his ears, and the world was spinning in front of his eyes, so he had to lean on the embankment on the coast for the time being: "Do you think I can heroically save people like this? The facts are the same as yours. It's the opposite of what I imagined, I was probably rescued by this kid."

Kunikida Doppo looked towards 【Edogawa Ranpo】.

What he saw was a poor, skinny kid in overalls, shorts and a white shirt, all wet.

He couldn't believe it: "How is it possible?!"

"Ha." Osamu Dazai reluctantly responded, resisting the desire to vomit, "It's impossible for me to thank the person who rescued me, besides, it's embarrassing to be fished out of the sea by such a small child, right? I have to lie to you Is it, Kunikida-kun?"

Kunikida Doppo had to admit that Osamu Dazai was right.

【Edogawa Ranpo】Covered his mouth and yawned softly.

He stood up and jumped, and rubbed his eyes again: "Since your companion is here, I'll go first."

Osamu Dazai waved his hand listlessly: "Go well. Don't save people the next time you see me."

【Edogawa Ranpo】Shaking his head: "This is impossible."

At least until Aoki Araya finds a way to lure you into a heroic spirit, all the heroic spirits of the "Bungo Association" will save you once they see it.

Osamu Dazai snorted, dissatisfied: "You actually want to deprive me of the right to die, you really are an annoying child..."

Kunikida Doppo put on his glasses and asked, "What's your name? Where are your parents? I'll take you home."

[Edogawa Ranpo] turned his head and asked curiously: "Are you the perverted uncle mentioned by my guardian? The type who especially likes to lure children under the age of 12."

Kunikida Doppo almost crushed his eyes: "...No! I just care about you!"

Now he kind of agrees with Osamu Dazai's evaluation of "not cute kid".

[Edogawa Ranpo] Shrugged: "So, don't you realize that I'm not an ordinary kid? Of course I don't need you to escort me back."

Kunikida Doppo sighed: "No matter how you say it, you saved a stranger you didn't know..."

——Because I saved someone, I believed [Edogawa Ranpo] would not be a bad person, so I didn’t go into too much research.

It is really the three views that are characteristic of the organization of the Armed Detective Agency.

[Edogawa Ranpo] After staring at Kunikida Doppo for a long time, he suddenly let out a chuckle: "Then what are you going to do if I say, 'Actually, my guardian is dead, and I'm currently homeless'? "

……

Half an hour later, [Edogawa Ranpo] changed into a new white shirt and overalls, and while sitting on the seat and eating chazuke, he began to doubt life silently.

It has to be said that Aoki Araya felt that the ochazuke in this store was actually quite delicious, and there was a TV to watch—although it was placed behind him.

Kunikida Doppo sat opposite him with a serious face: "Don't worry, the new clothes and the money for treating you to dinner are all paid in advance from Dazai's next month's salary."

He ignored Dazai Osamu's complaint of "Kunikida-kun, you irresponsible and playful scumbag", and quickly got to the point: "You said before that 'the guardian is dead, and you are still homeless. ' Seriously?"

[Edogawa Ranpo] stuffed himself another spoonful of chazuke, and then replied silently: "Let's not talk about this, why do you invite me to have chazuke?"

Osamu Dazai shouted dissatisfiedly: "I'm the one who treats you to dinner with next month's salary! It's not for Kunikida-kun!"

Kunikida Doppo thought for a while: "Because there is a boy in our detective agency who likes to eat chazuke, so I subconsciously brought you to this shop..."

"It's quite a warm colleague relationship." [Edogawa Ranpo] stared at the chazuke for a while, then scooped out another spoonful, "I said, after this meal, we will pretend that we have never met before, that's all How about parting ways?"

He added: "Anyway, we are not all the way."

Kunikida Doppo couldn't help but praised first: "You are so young, but you are very good at using idioms."

[Edogawa Ranpo] The spoon in his hand broke in two with a click.

He ground his teeth and showed a bright smile: "Who are you talking about...younger?"

Osamu Dazai propped his chin: "But from the moment you appeared on the stage, you were very good at using your childish appearance to lower the vigilance of others."

【Edogawa Ranpo】glared at him: "Some things will be an advantage when you take the initiative to use them, but once you are forced to mention them, they will not be as lovable as usual."

For example, his age and height after he was promoted to Heroic Spirit.

Even though Aoki Araya tried hard to suppress it, the two sitting opposite still felt the emotion that was about to explode inside the [Edogawa Ranpo] spirit base.

Osamu Dazai sighed in a low voice: "Even if they are all dwarfs, the younger one is much cuter..."

This sentence successfully exploded [Edogawa Ranpo]'s only two thunder points for himself.

When the two people on the opposite side reacted, the half of the spoon held by [Edogawa Ranpo] had already touched Osamu Dazai's eyelid.

The young man said sharply, "Shut up. Believe it or not, I'll gouge out your eyeballs."

This familiar sentence pattern reminded Osamu Dazai of what [Ellen Poe] of "Bungo Association" said to himself about two months ago, "Believe it or not, I'll chop off your little finger".

Osamu Dazai shrank back and shrugged: "With this speed of reaction, could it be possible that you are an assassin? Now that the assassin industry is so scarce that it needs to be filled by children?"

[Edogawa Ranpo]'s spoon continued to approach, and the boy said coldly, "I'm not a killer."

Kunikida Doppo couldn't help saying: "You... it's better not to do this."

He looked at [Edogawa Ranpo] trying to stand on tiptoe and lean forward: "If you go on like this, your whole body will fall on the table."

With a click, the spoon in [Edogawa Ranpo]'s hand was successfully broken into three pieces.

Osamu Dazai stared at the spoon in front of him for a while, then suddenly spoke to Kunikida Doppo: "Kunikida-kun, you should pay the compensation for this spoon."

Kunikida Doppo: "..."

[Edogawa Ranpo] Withdrawing his hand, he slapped the spoon on the table: "Anyway! I don't need your help, and my guardian is not dead, I was just joking before!"

Kunikida frowned, disapproving of his behavior: "How can you just curse your parents to death?"

Aoki Araya was trying to restrain [Edogawa Ranpo]'s urge to splash ochazuke on this person's face.

After taking two deep breaths, he replied with a sneer: "Sir... my guardian knows that he misses him very much, but he still insists on leaving my side. No matter how you think about it, it's all his fault, right?"

Dazai Osamu thought for a while, and then commented: "Aren't you completely like a child who can't live without his parents?"

This time, the bowl that was half filled with chazuke was broken.

Even Kunikida Doppo found out that Osamu Dazai was intentionally hitting [Edogawa Ranpo]'s thunder point: "Dazai, what are you doing?"

Osamu Dazai showed a soft herbivorous smile: "Don't you think he's cute when he's angry?"

[Edogawa Ranpo] sneered: "Thank you for complimenting me on being cute."

Osamu Dazai was a little surprised: "The word 'cute' is not a surprise?"

He didn't hide his desire to be the king of artificial thunder stepping.

Before [Edogawa Ranpo] could reply to his words, Kunikida Doppo and Dazai Osamu were attracted by the sudden increase in volume on the TV in the shop.

After watching for a while, Osamu Dazai laughed, "Mr. Mori is really getting more and more unscrupulous, even accepting commissions from serious companies like the Suzuki Foundation."

Hearing the keyword of "Suzuki Foundation", [Edogawa Ranpo] also turned around, raised his head and looked at the TV.

Sure enough, what was broadcast on TV was the exhibition of the Suzuki Foundation a few hours ago, and the host also introduced the local Yokohama "Mori-style club" responsible for providing the venue of this exhibition.

[Edogawa Ranpo] After staring at it for a while, he sighed: "It's a replay."

Kunikida Doppo responded: "That's right, it should be that unnecessary clips were cut out and the parts with higher viewer ratings were released."

As soon as he finished speaking, there were bursts of exclamations in the store.

Osamu Dazai watched with relish: "Oh, this is Kaitou Kidd! I've heard of him before, but this is the first time this one has come to Yokohama."

The part where Kaito Kidd took the "Heart of the Ocean" by mysterious means, bowed in the direction of the camera, and then left in the direction of the back door was broadcast on TV.

【Edogawa Ranpo】Knowing that I'm afraid I'm going to play in the future.

However, not only did he not panic, but he also asked Kunikida Doppo very calmly, "Can I have another bowl of chazuke?"

Kunikida Doppo looked at the crushed bowl on the table, and reluctantly agreed with him.

While waiting for the ochazuke to be served, [Edogawa Ranpo] casually said: "Actually, I watched the live broadcast."

Not only a live broadcast, but also a live experience.

Kunikida Doppo looked at him: "Huh?"

【Edogawa Ranpo】Pointing to the TV: "To be honest, it's quite interesting."

"Really?" Hearing this comment, the two less focused people raised their heads again and looked at it seriously.

The part where Phantom Thief Kidd turns the jewel in Hirai Taro's hand into a pigeon has already been shown on TV.

Osamu Dazai squinted his eyes for a while, and admitted, "It's indeed quite interesting."

At least, he didn't even see how the phantom thief Kidd managed to conjure up this magic trick.

[Edogawa Ranpo] I saw that the waiter had already walked over here with tea and rice.

He responded: "There are more interesting things to come."

A few seconds later, 【Edogawa Ranpo】felt two pairs of eyes moving back and forth between himself and the TV.

[Edogawa Ranpo] raised his head, showing a sweet smile: "What's wrong?"

The prank was successful again, and he is in a very good mood now.

In the end, it was Kunikida Doppo who said, "That 'Phantom Thief with Twenty Faces' on TV..."

[Edogawa Ranpo] raised his hand, and beckoned to the waiter.Then, he turned around and replied with a bright smile, "That's right, it's me."

Kunikida Doppo: "...huh?"

Osamu Dazai: "...then you still come out to hang out so openly?"

Even in the shock, he still grasped the point that should be complained about the most.

[Edogawa Ranpo] He lowered his head and took the ochazuke from the waiter, with a sweet tone: "How come~? Didn't you two bring me to this restaurant in the city center?"

Kunikida Doppo: ... Then you should refuse it!

The TV is still chattering: "According to our reporter's investigation, this 'Phantom Thief with Twenty Faces' once called himself 'Akutagawa' to the guards on the ferry!..."

【Edogawa Ranpo】Pause: "Ah."

He completely forgot about it.

Osamu Dazai: "..."

The pupils of former port mafia Ryunosuke Akutagawa's boss and current member of the Armed Detective Agency are crazy.

Although the "Bungo Association" also has [Akutagawa Ryunosuke], the first reaction of the two who have lived in Yokohama for so long is the Akutagawa from the port mafia.

Moreover, the members of the "Bungo Association" have not appeared for more than two months.

Even Yagiri Pharmaceutical in Ikebukuro has already fallen into chaos because of the disappearance of [Ellen Poe].

Kunikida Doppo looked at [Edogawa Ranpo]: "So, the 'guardian' you mentioned just now refers to Akutagawa Ryunosuke, right?"

He felt he had fully understood.

【Edogawa Ranpo】: "..."

Of course not, the guardian mentioned in his words has always been referring to [Ellen Poe].

But the expressions of these two people whose three views have been shaken are really interesting——

So, "Yeah."

[Edogawa Ranpo] Answered confidently.

Osamu Dazai withdrew his gaze from the TV, narrowed his eyes and smiled at 【Edogawa Ranpo】.

This emoji means: I see you are lying.

But Aoki Araya knew that he might not tell this fact.After all, Aoki could also tell from the previous few times when he used the vest to contact him, this person especially likes to tease his partner Kunikida Doppo.

【Edogawa Ranpo】Easy and fearless, he issued a threat openly: "I'm from Mafia at the port. You two belong to a detective agency, right? It's better to stay away from me."

Kunikida Doppo remembered that just now [Edogawa Ranpo] was threatening Osamu Dazai to goug his eyes out.

That being said, his behavior is indeed very port mafia.

"So the 'guardian left me' you just said means that he let the port mafia torture you?" Kunikida Doppo logically recalled Izumi Kyoka who had been used by the port mafia for a long time, "Indeed Scum."

Osamu Dazai suddenly said, "Kunikida-kun, who do you call scum?"

Kunikida Doppo replied with some doubts: "Of course it refers to..." He couldn't say the name of Akutagawa Ryunosuke, "His guardian?"

There was a familiar click.

Kunikida Doppo turned his head and found that the second bowl had also been crushed into pieces.

[Edogawa Ranpo] Wiped his hands with a paper towel, pointed the finger at Osamu Dazai: "You—Osamu Dazai of the Armed Detective Agency, can you stop doing such things on purpose?"

Osamu Dazai smiled and said, "How could it be? We are just lamenting you——the guardian of the twenty-faced phantom thief is really a scum? Isn't this a fact based on the conversation just now?"

[Edogawa Ranpo] The corners of his mouth pursed.

He tilted his head, opened his eyes and looked straight at Osamu Dazai: "Do you want me to help you pull out that tongue that can only spit out venom for free?"

Kunikida Doppo has gotten used to his moody personality like a child—no, although [Edogawa Ranpo] does not talk like a child, but in the final analysis, he is only about seven or eight years old.

So he just asked suspiciously: "Didn't you just say that it was all the fault of your guardian?"

[Edogawa Ranpo] "Huh?", his eyes widened impatiently:

"What qualifications do you have to criticize Mr.? I am the only one who can criticize him from beginning to end!"
