Wenhao is my vest

Aoki Araya's trip to Antarctica had only one purpose.

That is to build a base in Antarctica—to be precise, it is the headquarters of the "Bungo Association" in name.

When he didn't recover his memory, he was still obsessed with obtaining a license for abilities from the Ability Secret Service to win the government's approval.

However, after recovering his memory and realizing the close, almost co-existing connection between the heroic spirits and himself, Aoki Araya felt that it was better to airborne directly and use force to make them face up to the cost-effectiveness he was going to come.

If it weren't for the need for the world to recognize the existence of the literary giants, Aoki Araya might not even have appeared in front of the world.

However, the process of merging with the Alaya of this world still took part of his energy.

In short, skip the boring nonsense, since Aoki Araya needs to establish an organization that "is in a neutral zone, unless there are major problems in the world, otherwise it will not be easy to take action", then this organization cannot be within the territory of any country .

The reason why Aoki Ariya chose the Antarctic is because of the inspiration brought to him by an organization called "Chaldea" for short.

This organization is in charge of "observation". If there is a huge problem with human affairs, otherwise it will not be taken lightly.

This coincides with the concept held by Aoki Ariya.Whether it is war or peace, it is a human choice, as long as it does not lead to the consequences of human destruction, Alaya has always been too lazy to care about it.

Then, you only need to imitate Chaldea and build a base that still looks past on the high mountains deep in Antarctica.

——It was like this.

Before heading to Antarctica, although he was very confident in himself and the Heroic Spirit, Araya Aoki did a general survey of the world's Antarctic information.

After all, even in human history, there are countless great men who capsized in the gutter due to carelessness.

Aoki Araya quickly discovered the biggest difference between the Antarctic of this world and his previous one.

The highest peak in the world is not Mount Everest in his memory, but the "Mountain of Madness" located in Antarctica, which was discovered only a few decades ago.

And after reading the information about the Crazy Mountain Range—for example, no climbers have successfully reached the peak so far, and the death rate of the climbers is extremely high, and almost all the survivors have fallen into crazy news— Aoki Araya could see roughly where the problem was at a glance.

He immediately let [Ellen Poe], who was still in a weak state due to the loss of his heart, end his rest and reappear in the world.

After all, although as an Alaya, Aoki Araya knew the basic knowledge related to the Cthulhu mythology, but he couldn't analyze the examples that appeared in front of him very well.

To put it bluntly, the abilities of Aoki Araya and [Ellen Poe] in the Cthulhu mythology system are probably the difference between the theoretical school and the practical school.

If you want to go on a field survey, it is best to listen to [Ellen Poe]'s opinion first.

[Ellen Poe] Of course, he did not complain about the task of traveling with Araya Aoki.

However, he still raised a question: "With your current physical ability, is it true that you won't die suddenly on the mountain halfway? Are you planning to make another avatar on the spot when you die?"

Aoki Araya: "..."

It makes so much sense!

Although [Agatha]'s treasure "narrative trick" can slightly modify the world line, it is only limited to the world line caused by the influence of "living creatures".

In other words, she can guarantee that the few people encounter the fewest monsters on the way up the mountain, and can also ensure that no one else will challenge this crazy mountain when they climb the mountain.

However, since Alaya is not affected by [Agatha] Noble Phantasm, he can only realize the modification of the world line by actively cooperating with "narrative tricks", but there is no way to ensure that he will not step on it on the way up the mountain. To the occurrence of accidents such as gravel falling.

In addition, [Agatha] cannot control weather changes.

To sum it up, Ariya Aoki probably died suddenly on the mountainside because his physical fitness could not keep up.

It would be useless even if the heroic spirits moved him up. This kind of excessively high Jue Ling could very well lead to his death just by changing the pressure.

Therefore, Aoki Araya could only answer: "Then my main body will be waiting for you at the foot of the mountain."

After all, he still wants to oversee the base, so he can't just stop going to Antarctica.

After some discussions, the final candidates became Aoki Araya who wanted to oversee the work, [Agatha] who had been with Aoki Araya all the time, and [Ellen . Slope], and [Akutagawa Ryunosuke] whose abilities are useful for building houses.

In other words, Aoki Araya had just returned to Japan and immediately diverted to Antarctica.

According to the agreement of international treaties, the land of Antarctica does not belong to any one country, but is shared by human beings all over the world.

So Aoki Araya stepped into the Antarctic very confidently, and also planned to build a base in the South Pole very confidently.In the end, depending on the actual situation, he may also directly blast down a mountain on the Antarctic side.

And [Akutagawa Ryunosuke] of course would not have any opinion on this arrangement of Aoki Araya.

His only opinion was directed at [Edgar Allan Poe].

[Akutagawa Ryunosuke]'s spirit base asked Aoki Araya: "Can I not act with Mr. Poe?"

After thinking about it for a while, Aoki Araya probably understood what he meant: "You mean to let Po-kun handle the matter of the madness mountain alone, and then the three of us will go to find a suitable place to build the base at the same time?"

"Yes." [Akutagawa Ryunosuke] answered him.After a while, he struggled to hold back two more words: "I haven't forgiven him for what happened before."

Of course, Aoki Araya would not ask knowingly, and asked "What's the matter?" without winking. Instead, he complained in his heart, "Primary school students quarrel", and comforted [Akutagawa Ryunosuke]:

"I think you two need to talk face to face... Even though it's face to face, I'm still there, right? Don't worry about the scene getting out of control, I can completely control the situation physically."

Unlike the three most self-talking people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, [Akutagawa Ryunosuke] is a person who listens to other people's opinions.

So after hesitating for a while, he still nodded in agreement with Araya Aoki's proposal.

Thus, the final grouping becomes a group of twos.

【Agatha】accompanied Aoki Araya's main body at the foot of the mountain, while 【Akutagawa Ryunosuke】and【Ellen Poe】were in charge of exploring the situation of the madness mountain range and talking while climbing the mountain.

When hearing Araya Aoki's decision, [Ellen Poe] said with a smile: "It feels like going on an outing. It's so relaxing and good."

However, Araya Aoki, who was able to detect the emotions in the bottom of [Ellen Poe]'s heart, found out almost immediately that his mood was really beyond description.

Aoki Araya considered it for a while, and then asked: "Don't you want to be with Akutagawa-kun? If that's the case..." Then I will adjust the team configuration.

"How could it be?" [Ellen Poe]'s voice was still full of smiles, "It's my wish to have an ideological discussion with a famous writer like Ryunosuke Akutagawa."

Aoki Araya: "..."

You really are upset.

However, he also understands that if he really separates [Akutagawa Ryunosuke] and [Ellen Poe] at this moment, then [Ellen Poe] will turn around and start to sulk at himself.

Heroic spirits with awkward personalities are all like this, and Aoki Araya is really familiar with this kind of development.

Aoki Araya immediately made a decision, announcing that this group would not be revised.

Just when the specific procedure was finally decided and after entering the South Pole, the group of Aoki and the others finally made a detour to reach the foot of the Kuangqi Mountain Range.

This is a pitch-black mountain. Under the gaze of several people, it has been spreading outwards, rushing straight out of their field of vision.

However, just looking at the mountain, [Ellen Poe] turned to look at [Akutagawa Ryunosuke], and said, "Blow it off."

Aoki Araya: "...?"

Although he was in charge of acting, Aoki Araya still asked himself to stop immediately: "Wait."

[Ellen Poe] raised his eyebrows: "Huang Ye, it is impossible for you not to see the essence of this mountain—even [Agatha], who has just come into contact with 'this side', must be able to see it."

He raised his arm and pointed to the daunting peak: "It's different from what we imagined. It's not just a lair for those things."

"It is itself composed of shoggoths."

[Agatha] replied in a lazy tone: "I can indeed sense that this mountain is some kind of special living creature, but I don't know that its name is Shoggoth."

[Ellen Poe] said disdainfully: "It's not so much a 'name', but a species, right? In short, as long as Agatha uses the newly obtained treasure and throws this thing into the dreamland, it will be fine."

Aoki Araya: "...Are you sure that Agatha can control her Noble Phantasm so far?"

Isn't that a little too much.

【Ellen Poe】replied: "Ara, don't tell me you're just going to make a simple deal with that one."

Of course Aoki Araya knew that the "that one" in [Ellen Poe]'s mouth referred to the evil god Nyarlathotep.

He sighed: "You guessed it."

【Ellen Poe】smiled and said, "I have nothing to complain about your thoughts. Rather, it is the best result that you can still be so obsessed with only one goal."

Aoki Araya quickly changed the subject: "However, we can't directly blow away this mountain."

[Edgar Allan Poe] asked: "Why?"

Aoki Araya raised his hand and pointed to the direction of the sky: "It will be discovered by satellites in the universe."

"In any case, we must at least give a reasonable explanation—for example, the "Writer Association" discovered the danger of this mountain before deciding to destroy it—although, this is indeed the real reason That's it."

The other three people present were not stupid, and immediately understood what Aoki Araya meant.

[Akutagawa Ryunosuke] has been silent until now, and finally spoke: "Since this mountain is a monster, we just need to make it move?"

"That's right," Aoki Araya responded, "He must wake up on his own initiative, and then we will take action."

He raised his head and looked at the dark "mountain" in front of him.

Aoki Araya sighed: "If you want to wake up a monster bigger than Mount Everest, the method other than attacking—"

[Edgar Allan Poe] answered: "Spell."

"That's right," Aoki Araya waved his hand, "Go up the mountain and try your luck."

……

For the two heroic spirits, the most effective way to search is of course to go up the mountain from opposite sides, each responsible for two different corners.

But for some reason, [Ellen Poe] and [Akutagawa Ryunosuke] walked up the same road side by side.

Although Aoki Araya had made his own decision, these two heroic spirits were not angry at his presumptuous assertion.

【Akutagawa Ryunosuke】Because he agreed to him a long time ago, so he will naturally abide by the agreement, and 【Ellen Poe】well...

Aoki Araya was sitting in the hotel in the nearest village to the Mad Qi Mountain, quietly staring in a daze.

Although for him, this is only a fraction of his consciousness resting, but for Alaya, the model worker who saved the world, it is already a rare leisure time.

Then, just as he was controlling the dialogue between [Akutagawa Ryunosuke] and [Ellen Poe] to get better, Aoki Araya sneezed in front of [Agatha].

Aoki Araya: "..." A little embarrassed.

[Agatha]'s spirit foundation was awakened by the sneezing.

She looked at Aoki Araya who sneezed several times, and asked with a half-joke: "Alaya also catches a cold?"

Aoki Araya immediately added a coat to himself.

He stood up, sneezed a little, and walked around the room: "This body's quality can only be said to have reached the level of an ordinary human being. Even a cold is normal."

However, this is actually the first time for him to experience the feeling of being sick, and it is inevitable that he feels a little strange about it: "No wonder human beings hate being sick. It turns out that they will be so uncomfortable after being sick."

[Agatha] chuckled, and set up a magic circle in the room to raise the temperature.

Aoki Araya: "Thank you."

He thought for a while, and added: "Also, even if this body is sick, it's okay, because only this part of consciousness is affected..."

As soon as the words came to this point, Aoki Araya suddenly fell silent.

[Agatha] raised eyebrows: "What's wrong? Did something happen on the mountain, or was it in Japan?"

Aoki Araya answered with difficulty - he would hardly hide anything from [Agatha]: "It happened to me."

【Agatha】Just as I was about to ask in detail, I heard a sneeze from my own body.

【Agatha】: "..."

Aoki Araya sneezed intermittently, and said with difficulty: "The communication channel between me and the heroic spirit is broken, wait a moment..."

Even [Agatha] couldn't help but have a thought at this moment: Is this person reliable? !

Although she has long been familiar with the attribute of "Alaya" who likes to drop chains.

After two or three minutes, Aoki Araya said the next sentence: "It's done."

Then, under [Agatha]'s attention, he was silent for another 2 minutes.

[Agatha] It’s almost a bit funny—compared to Aoki Araya’s “I have a problem” mentioned just now, she subconsciously chose a topic that can gloat: “What’s wrong?”

She didn't notice that her way of thinking became much more direct than before.

Aoki Araya wondered: "... Slope-kun and Akutagawa-kun, why did they become like this?"

He really wanted to add one more sentence: Is it not possible?

【Agatha】Gloated more and more: "What happened to the two of them? Are they going to fight?"

"No, it's not." Aoki Araya denied, "Compared to that, Agatha, can you hide your mocking tone first?"

【Agatha】That's when I noticed something was wrong.

——I usually prefer to hide the biting sarcasm under the lazy attitude, but now I show it without hesitation.

Aoki Araya turned his head in pain: "Why... In the end, it was just a fever, right? And why is Po-kun affected so severely..."

[Agatha] began to feel dizzy in her head: "So what's going on?"

This time, she meant to ask what happened to Aoki Araya, but due to the decline in the IQ of both parties, not only [Agatha]'s own expression seemed a little unclear, but Aoki Araya was also completely confused. Misunderstood.

He wrinkled his face and replied: "Mr. Po and Mr. Akutagawa have started a sincere dialogue."

【Agatha】: "...?"

Her mind instantly cleared up.

【Agatha】coughed, and asked in a playful tone that she thought was not obvious at all: "How did you confess your true feelings?"

"It's not a confession, it's a dialogue." Aoki Araya tried to support his dull head and replied, "It's probably 'I see you as the only...'"

"Wait." He suddenly woke up, "Why should I tell you this kind of thing? It should be Mr. Po's privacy!"

【Agatha】Long "Oh—" said: "It turns out that Mr. Po said that sentence."

Aoki Araya was furious: "Agatha, why are you so gossip! If Po-kun finds out what I said to you, he will definitely be so angry that he won't talk to me for several months!"

【Agatha】Evaluate with no brains: "'My pretty girlfriend'?"

Aoki Araya: "..."

He touched his arm and commented: "Goosebumps came up."

[Agatha] still thinks that it is very timely to patch: "Sorry, I shouldn't be stereotyped, boyfriends can be pretty, right?"

Aoki Araya broke down: "Mr. Po is neither my girlfriend nor my boyfriend! Of course, it's not Agatha's, nor anyone else's!"

He didn't change his tone between the two sentences: "So this topic ends now!"

"No, the impact of the fever is too serious, even Agatha has become like this..." Araya Aoki covered his head, "As a result, only Akutagawa-kun is slightly better... Do you have to leave the subsequent affairs arrangements to Is he there?"

After going through a lot of flying and jumping, Aoki Araya finally explained why it became the current situation 【Agatha】.

——The time is mainly wasted on the communication between the two of them.

[Agatha] put on a drowsy detective pose: "That means, except for Akutagawa-kun, the spirit bases of other heroic spirits can't eliminate the influence of this fever?"

Aoki Araya was almost moved: "That's right. You finally understand, Agatha."

Even for him, it would be very troublesome to keep dealing with several unresponsive bodies.

He added: "So you all go offline quickly, leaving Akutagawa-kun alone is enough."

[Agatha]'s spirit base is very serious: "No."

Aoki Araya said "Huh?", and tilted his head to look at the black-haired woman in doubt.

【Agatha】After laughing happily twice, she replied: "I have to wait for Mr. Po to come back and laugh at him, to make him feel ashamed and angry to death."

Aoki Araya took a deep breath: "...Agatha. Don't you think there is something wrong with your character design?"

He closed his eyes and said in pain, "Don't be dominated by that guy's personality of Nyarlathotep!"

It was hard to persist until now, but all previous efforts were wasted because of a high fever. When Nyarlathotep found out about this, the person who was ridiculed will become you!

【Agatha】I don't understand or understand: "I think it's okay."

Aoki Araya couldn't take it anymore.

He immediately canceled the link between himself and [Agatha], and made her go offline on the spot.

He first looked at [Ellen Poe] and [Akutagawa Ryunosuke] who were still in a sincere dialogue, and couldn't bear to think about what would happen to the world after [Ellen Poe] realized what had happened. Fatal blow, and looked at Japan again.

——[Edogawa Ranpo] Still crying while rolling on the ground.

The chief culprit, Shiga Naoya, has an innocent face, and Aoki Araya can feel the bewilderment in his heart—except for [Akutagawa Ryunosuke], Shiga Naoya is already the least affected one because of the problem of luck.

However, it was also he who said to [Edogawa Ranpo], "Mr. Poe might be disappointed in you if you continue to behave like this".

And [Dazai Osamu] looked at [Edogawa Ranpo]'s unreasonable gesture, and couldn't help holding his stomach and holding back a laugh.

Leaving aside the question of why he had to cover his stomach to hold back his laughter, he didn't realize at all that he was actually laughing out loud.

Aoki Araya couldn't help but hate his habit of subconsciously acting according to the emotions of the heroic spirit.

At the same time, he thought about it, and felt that [Osamu Dazai] was the most embarrassing among the three, so he also made [Osamu Dazai] smile and log off.

Aoki Araya closed his eyes, covered his face, and took another deep breath.

——This world is hopeless, it is better to let it be destroyed than to end with the social death of all members of the "Bungo Association".
