Wenhao is my vest
Chapter 9 009
[Osamu Dazai]'s Noble Phantasm "Setting Sun" comes from a short story of the same name written by him.
The content of the novel is not important, because this treasure does not represent the book, but refers to the last life of 【Osamu Dazai】.
——Sinking between life and death, between the world and hell, in the daze of reality and illusion, and the transitional moment between day and night.
——"Setting Sun", dusk, the time of the devil.
Under Ozaki Momiji's vigilant gaze, the dim yellow light of the setting sun through the window gradually faded away, and only when Shuji Tsushima's slightly raised tail sound fell, the glaring sunlight that belonged to the afternoon resurfaced.
There was silence in the room, only the breathing of the three people and the ticking of the second hand could be heard.
——Why didn't anything happen?Is his ability merely to appear as phantoms like the setting sun?
Before Koyo Ozaki could express her doubts, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Too quiet.
This Noble Phantasm was not aimed at her but Mori Ogai, but the other party kept silent, as if he hadn't reacted at all.
More importantly, Mori Ogai's humanoid ability "Alice" did not make any sound.Whether it was the sound of running or humming, it was as quiet as if she had never existed.
Koyo Ozaki turned around and looked behind, making sure that Alice was not in the blind spot of her sight either.
She didn't even have time to ask Aoki Araya about the current situation, she bent down subconsciously, wanting to check the situation of her own leader——
"It's better to advise you not to touch him now."
Aoki Araya sat back in his seat, and softly suggested to Koyo Ozaki.
The golden Yaksha appeared in the air, and slashed towards Aoki with a determined killing intent:
"what have you done!"
"Hush," Aoki Araya put his index finger against his lower lip, and comforted him, "Mr. Mori is probably just asleep."
Yasha's movements stopped suddenly, and he slanted the blade on Aoki's neck.Koyo Ozaki knelt down, carefully checked Mori Ogai's condition for a while, and after confirming that he had indeed just fallen asleep, he breathed a sigh of relief.
But she silently raised her vigilance in her heart.
It seems to be the ability of the spiritual department-"Q" will come to mind when mentioning the supernatural ability of the spiritual department, and no one knows the lethality of "Q" better than Ozaki Koyo, the veteran mafia.
Aoki Araya pointed to the Japanese sword attached to his aorta: "I won't suddenly turn around and deceive people at such a time."
The tone sounded a little aggrieved.
The golden Yaksha turned into a spot of light and disappeared into the air.
After Koyo Ozaki bowed and apologized, he asked Aoki: "Mr. Tsushima's ability...is it hypnosis?"
Aoki Araya's expression became somewhat indescribable.He frowned, and asked in confusion: "The meaning of this sentence... Do you think I am very suitable to be a hypnotist?"
Koye Ozaki resumed her usual leisurely posture, covering the corners of her mouth and teasingly said: "Then you must be the most powerful hypnotist in the world."
"No," Araya Aoki smiled wryly, her voice was a little sluggish, "The effect of my Noble Phantasm is to make people feel irresistible positive emotions, if you want to call it 'happiness' the effect is also OK."
Noble Phantasm is probably their name for supernatural powers—Ozaki Koye accepted this setting very naturally, and naturally paid attention to the more critical part of Aoki's words: "In my own opinion, the 'happiness' that Chief Mori pursues ’ There’s no way this situation could have happened.”
"I only liberated the minimum Noble Phantasm," Aoki Araya said with a smile, "so he just did things that made him feel relaxed recently."
After all, he didn't even say the liberating line of Noble Phantasm.
Aoki thought for a while, and added: "Is Mr. Mori working late lately?"
certainly.Because since last month, the troubles here in Yokohama have been wave after wave. Although they are not big things, the accumulation of all the things is really annoying.
——Ozaki Koyo understood Aoki's meaning: "The leader lacks sleep due to work..."
She accepts this statement.
It seems that Koyo Ozaki doesn't know whether Mori Ogai can activate his ability when he is asleep.
Aoki Araya hid behind the personality of [Dazai Osamu], calmly analyzing it.
【Osamu Dazai】As a Heroic Spirit, the effect of a Noble Phantasm is of course not as simple as "making others happy".
Leaving aside the false feeling of happiness, the most important effect of "Setting Sun" is that it can make the enemy let down their vigilance, completely forget that they are on the battlefield for a moment, and then——
Use extremely fast speed and absolute power to wipe him out.
——[Osamu Dazai] is not the class of a magician (Caster) in the list of heroic spirits of the writer department, but an assassin (Assassin) who is better at hiding in the shadows in comparison.
Moreover, this was originally a treasure for the battle between servants, but now it is used on humans, of course it will only cause more serious effects.
It was precisely because of this that Mori Ogai had no time to guard against [Dazai Osamu]'s Noble Phantasm.
It seems that Heroic Spirit is much more powerful in this world than he imagined.
"My Noble Phantasm can control the situation of the battlefield," Aoki Araya looked at Mori Ogai who had fallen into a deep sleep, "I think this reason is enough."
Koyo Ozaki smiled at him.Different from the previous smile, this time her attitude is obviously more respectful and solemn, and this equality is obviously a treatment that only the strong can have.
At the same time, Araya Aoki noticed that the progress of the side missions on the panel suddenly jumped from zero to about one-third of the way.
In other words, his goal of coming to the Port Mafia's side was accomplished.
——And it seems that the mission requirement is indeed not to buy land.
Aoki Araya felt relieved, and began to analyze following the direction of the prompt: It should be recognized by the designated NPC or force... If this is the case, why not go to the Armed Detective Agency to try next?
On the other side, in order to wake up the leader of the family, Koyo Ozaki waved his hand, and the long umbrella in his hand slammed heavily on Mori Ogai's calf.
Mori Ogai woke up quickly.
Naturally, he didn't go back on his word, and after discussing with Koyo Ozaki about Fitzgerald's matter with Aoki, he readily agreed to Araya Aoki's request.
"However, the port mafia is not in charge of this battle plan," Mori Ogai explained. "If you want to maximize your capabilities, you'd better go to another place first."
Aoki Araya thought of the Osamu Dazai he met in the bookstore, and the armed detective agency he mentioned that was opposed to the port mafia, and he probably understood Mori Ogai's intentions in his heart.
It's a smart way to throw the troublesome person to the old enemy, express your doubts and use the other party to help you find out.
But he also wanted to go there, so naturally he would not reject Mori Ogai's proposal.
However, in order to keep Shuji Tsushima as a clever character, he still showed a puzzled expression: "Another place?"
Mori Ogai's attitude is very gentle: "I mean the Armed Detective Agency. There are two counselors who can coordinate the overall situation. For future cooperation, it is better for you two to get to know each other first."
Aoki Araya also made an expression of sudden realization: "Are you talking about the detective agency that Mr. Dazai works for? He happened to show me the way before, so there is no need to trouble Mr. Mori."
Mori Ogai replied along the steps without hesitation: "Then please Mr. Tsushima, I will write a letter of introduction right away, and you can just hand the letter to the president of the detective agency."
After Tomori Ogai finished the scene, Aoki Araya walked out of the port mafia in a very tired mood, stuck in the off-duty time, and wandered slowly to the downstairs of the Armed Detective Agency.
He didn't go up immediately, but sighed outside the coffee shop on the first floor.
I have to say, today was really wonderful.
——Of course it is "wonderful" in a derogatory sense.
Sighing for a while, he managed to calm himself and [Dazai Osamu] Spirit Foundation. As soon as Araya Aoki stepped up the steps, he heard the familiar quarreling sound from behind. I heard it once.
Aoki Araya turned around, and sure enough, he saw the pair of Kunikida Doppo and Dazai Osamu.
He raised his hand and greeted quite naturally: "Mr. Dazai, I have something to ask you."
Kunikida Doppo's expression was a little confused: "Are you Dazai's friend?"
And why does it feel a little familiar.
Aoki Araya reminded: "I am Shuji Tsushima. We met at the bookstore in the morning."
"Ah, so it's that..."
After thinking back, Kunikida Doppo couldn't help coughing in embarrassment, and began to yell at Osamu Dazai beside him again: "Sure enough, you offended others and were found! I knew there would be such a day sooner or later. You're going to bring trouble to the detective agency, you bastard!!!"
Osamu Dazai repeatedly complained: "Didn't Tsushima-kun come here to take revenge on me! I just told him before that I have a commission to come to the detective agency... Ah, by the way, Mr. Ranpo, help me dispel the rumors—"
Aoki Araya's eyes followed the topic to the last person present.
Black messy hair, squinting eyes, youthful looks that can't tell the age, and a conspicuous detective outfit.
——Edogawa Ranpo.
The character design unexpectedly fits the identity of a writer of mystery novels.
Aoki Araya looked him up and down in surprise.
Edogawa Ranpo also glanced at him, and responded perfunctorily to the other two: "It's really not because of Dazai's problem that I came here."
Osamu Dazai let out an exaggerated sigh of relief: "I'll just say it!"
Kunikida Doppo glared at this unscrupulous guy: "Since Mr. Ranpo has said so, then I will let you go for now."
In just a few words, Aoki Araya realized the status of Edogawa Ranpo in these people, or in other words, the armed detective agency.
Before he had time to think more, Aoki Araya heard Dazai Osamu talk to him: "Did Tsushima-kun earn enough money for the entrustment in just one afternoon? Is it so powerful?"
Aoki Araya let out a breath, and put on an expression of patience and anger:
"Things may not be what you think."
Edogawa Ranpo suddenly interjected: "It must be the leader of the port mafia who asked you to come here."
Aoki Araya was taken aback: "Why would you..." You know?
Halfway through his words, he was covered by a loud voice: "What?! Port Mafia?!!"
Aoki Araya looked at Kunikida Doppo who looked shocked and angry, and quickly explained: "Things are probably not what you imagined..."
Osamu Dazai covered his ears and snickered: "Wow... Mr. Ranpo, remember to prepare enough for Kunikida-kun before speaking."
Edogawa Ranpo prevaricates Dazai's words, and after Kunikida calms down, he still explains Aoki's reason for coming to the Armed Detective Agency to these two people.
In the case that Aoki didn't say a word to him, there was no mistake in the content.
Shuji Tsushima looked shocked: "How do you know?"
He even began to suspect that he had been bugged.Even if he knew in his heart, with his five senses, it was basically impossible for this kind of thing to happen.
Edogawa Ranpo raised his face complacently: "Such a simple question, can you understand it at a glance?"
Amid Kunikida Doppo's compliments on Edogawa Ranpo, the four finally arrived at the office of the Armed Detective Agency.
The windows are bright and clean, and a few people are sitting at their desks packing up documents, which is a much more normal scene than that of the port mafia.
Edogawa hopped to his office chair, and asked in a tone that was only a little more bossy: "Why can't I see any traces on your body before today?"
This sentence was a bit of a mouthful, but Aoki Araya immediately understood what he meant.
If you really have to worry about it, [Dazai Osamu] actually only appeared in the real world for the first time this morning - after all, Aoki Araya's ability was only awakened at that time - so all the clues on him can only be It shows the traces from the early morning to the present.
All in all, in the eyes of Edogawa Ranpo, Aoki Araya is like a ghost who suddenly descended into the world.
However, it is not possible for ordinary people to discover at a glance that [Osamu Dazai] did not carry information for more than 24 hours. At least Osamu Dazai did not find out when he was in the bookstore, but deduced the corresponding conclusion through dialogue.
At this time, Aoki Araya was finally convinced that this young man named Edogawa Ranpo might possess intelligence and sensitivity beyond ordinary people's imagination.
That being the case, Aoki straight to the point repeated the reason he had told Mori Ogai before, that is, the topic that he came from another world.
Because the two of them communicated not loudly, only Dazai Osamu and Kunikida Doppo who were standing beside them heard this sentence.
Osamu Dazai had speculated on this possibility a long time ago, but Doppo Kunikida didn't keep up with the rhythm of the conversation between the two—
He asked with some doubts: "Mr. Ranpo, are you talking about the port mafia? But it doesn't sound like it."
Edogawa Ranpo looked at Aoki Arya with sharp eyes for a while, and then turned his head away after confirming that he could not draw any more conclusions from him: "Kunikida take him to see the president, Dazai Ru Down."
Although he didn't understand what was going on, Kunikida still obeyed Edogawa Ranpo's request: "I see."
He bowed slightly to Aoki: "Please follow me, Mr. Tsushima."
Aoki Araya smiled at Kunikida, followed him into the president's office, but quietly focused on Ranpo and Dazai.
He is very grateful to [Osamu Dazai] for his body with sensitive five senses, at least allowing him to hear the conversation on the other side through a wall.
The first is the voice of Edogawa Ranpo: "I can't see the specific origin, but at least so far, no real doubts have been found."
Osamu Dazai replied: "Mr. Mori sent him to the detective agency, indicating that there is indeed a certain danger, but it will not cause huge damage."
——Is it trust based on temptation?However, this level is enough.
Aoki Araya withdrew his attention and looked at the person in the office, the president of the Armed Detective Agency.
Chest-length gray hair, black pupils, and a neat kimono.
The description is similar to [Osamu Dazai] in appearance, but it is obvious that the temperament of the two of them is completely different, and it is impossible for anyone to mistake these two.
With just one glance, Aoki Araya can tell from his sitting posture that this is a swordsman with superb martial arts skills.
Mr. Swordsman finished reading Mori Ogai's letter, and finally raised his head to look at Aoki: "I am Fukuzawa Yukichi, the president of the Armed Detective Agency."
Aoki Araya gave him a standard etiquette that is not commonly used in modern times: "My name is Shuji Tsushima, and I came here on behalf of the "Bungo Association" to seek cooperation with the Armed Detective Agency."
When introducing himself to Fukuzawa Yukichi, Aoki felt a subtle sense of inversion.Perhaps in the eyes of some people, Fukuzawa Yukichi cannot be regarded as a literary giant, but there is no doubt that his name is much bigger than Akutagawa Ryunosuke, Dazai Osamu, and Edogawa Ranpo.
After all, he is a celebrity whose face is printed on banknotes, and the father of modern Japanese education.If you think about it this way, it doesn't seem to be surprising to be the head of a company that can compete with the port mafia.
But on the surface, Fukuzawa Yukichi didn't see any special reaction from Shuji Tsushima.
He stood up, and also saluted Tsushima, expressing his attitude of attaching importance to it.
At the same time, the progress bar of the side mission suddenly increased to two-thirds.
Aoki Araya: "..."
He thought back to himself when he tried hard to find out the mission conditions at the port mafia, and after a little comparison with the situation where he was easily approved now, he was very sure of one thing:
I, I definitely made a mistake about Novice Village.
——It's all due to [Dazai Osamu]'s lucky E attribute.
Araya Aoki blamed [Osamu Dazai] without guilt.
Ignoring [Dazai Osamu]'s complaints in the spiritual foundation, Aoki Araya began to think: inferring with normal logic, the last third must also represent a power.
Aoki Araya decided to testify: "Mr. Dazai said that the Armed Detective Agency and the Port Mafia are deadly enemies, but it seems that the relationship between the two organizations is not as bad as I imagined?"
Fukuzawa Yukichi rolled up his sleeves, and replied in a deep voice, "Our goal is the same when it comes to protecting Yokohama."
It turned out to be the case.
Araya Aoki made a guess, did not mention the third unofficial organization, and maintained the same direction in the direction of protecting the city... If the guess is correct, the last party should be on the government side.
Then just make it a little bigger, big enough to attract the official's attention.
"The members of the Armed Detective Agency will evacuate here soon," Fukuzawa Yukichi said bluntly, "You go to Dazai now, and he will arrange the next action."
**
"Although Mr. Fukuzawa said so," Araya Aoki repeated Fukuzawa Yukichi's words to Dazai Osamu, "but I still have a little bit of my own selfishness."
He took a few steps towards the window, pointed to the airship that looked like a white whale in midair, and the light in his eyes flickered a few times: "I must see Fitzgerald."
The implication is that no matter what Dazai Osamu thinks, he must board the ship.
Osamu Dazai smiled and said, "I was planning to let you go there too. If you leave now, you might meet someone from our detective agency."
Aoki Araya smiled at him.
After confirming the name and appearance of the member of the detective agency that Osamu Dazai said, Aoki bid farewell to him.
After Shuji Tsushima left the detective agency, and went to the white whale according to his own plan in the name of obeying the order, Osamu Dazai looked around the detective agency where there was no one left, and called Ango Sakaguchi for the second time. Number.
"It's a prophecy, Ango." During the connection process, Dazai Osamu said with a gloating tone, "It seems that you have to work overtime again."
The content of the novel is not important, because this treasure does not represent the book, but refers to the last life of 【Osamu Dazai】.
——Sinking between life and death, between the world and hell, in the daze of reality and illusion, and the transitional moment between day and night.
——"Setting Sun", dusk, the time of the devil.
Under Ozaki Momiji's vigilant gaze, the dim yellow light of the setting sun through the window gradually faded away, and only when Shuji Tsushima's slightly raised tail sound fell, the glaring sunlight that belonged to the afternoon resurfaced.
There was silence in the room, only the breathing of the three people and the ticking of the second hand could be heard.

Before Koyo Ozaki could express her doubts, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Too quiet.
This Noble Phantasm was not aimed at her but Mori Ogai, but the other party kept silent, as if he hadn't reacted at all.
More importantly, Mori Ogai's humanoid ability "Alice" did not make any sound.Whether it was the sound of running or humming, it was as quiet as if she had never existed.

Black messy hair, squinting eyes, youthful looks that can't tell the age, and a conspicuous detective outfit.
——Edogawa Ranpo.

Although he didn't understand what was going on, Kunikida still obeyed Edogawa Ranpo's request: "I see."
He bowed slightly to Aoki: "Please follow me, Mr. Tsushima."
Aoki Araya smiled at Kunikida, followed him into the president's office, but quietly focused on Ranpo and Dazai.
He is very grateful to [Osamu Dazai] for his body with sensitive five senses, at least allowing him to hear the conversation on the other side through a wall.

Chest-length gray hair, black pupils, and a neat kimono.
The description is similar to [Osamu Dazai] in appearance, but it is obvious that the temperament of the two of them is completely different, and it is impossible for anyone to mistake these two.
With just one glance, Aoki Araya can tell from his sitting posture that this is a swordsman with superb martial arts skills.
Mr. Swordsman finished reading Mori Ogai's letter, and finally raised his head to look at Aoki: "I am Fukuzawa Yukichi, the president of the Armed Detective Agency."
Aoki Araya gave him a standard etiquette that is not commonly used in modern times: "My name is Shuji Tsushima, and I came here on behalf of the "Bungo Association" to seek cooperation with the Armed Detective Agency."
When introducing himself to Fukuzawa Yukichi, Aoki felt a subtle sense of inversion.Perhaps in the eyes of some people, Fukuzawa Yukichi cannot be regarded as a literary giant, but there is no doubt that his name is much bigger than Akutagawa Ryunosuke, Dazai Osamu, and Edogawa Ranpo.
After all, he is a celebrity whose face is printed on banknotes, and the father of modern Japanese education.If you think about it this way, it doesn't seem to be surprising to be the head of a company that can compete with the port mafia.
But on the surface, Fukuzawa Yukichi didn't see any special reaction from Shuji Tsushima.
He stood up, and also saluted Tsushima, expressing his attitude of attaching importance to it.
At the same time, the progress bar of the side mission suddenly increased to two-thirds.
Aoki Araya: "..."
He thought back to himself when he tried hard to find out the mission conditions at the port mafia, and after a little comparison with the situation where he was easily approved now, he was very sure of one thing:
I, I definitely made a mistake about Novice Village.
——It's all due to [Dazai Osamu]'s lucky E attribute.
Araya Aoki blamed [Osamu Dazai] without guilt.
Ignoring [Dazai Osamu]'s complaints in the spiritual foundation, Aoki Araya began to think: inferring with normal logic, the last third must also represent a power.
Aoki Araya decided to testify: "Mr. Dazai said that the Armed Detective Agency and the Port Mafia are deadly enemies, but it seems that the relationship between the two organizations is not as bad as I imagined?"
Fukuzawa Yukichi rolled up his sleeves, and replied in a deep voice, "Our goal is the same when it comes to protecting Yokohama."
It turned out to be the case.
Araya Aoki made a guess, did not mention the third unofficial organization, and maintained the same direction in the direction of protecting the city... If the guess is correct, the last party should be on the government side.
Then just make it a little bigger, big enough to attract the official's attention.
"The members of the Armed Detective Agency will evacuate here soon," Fukuzawa Yukichi said bluntly, "You go to Dazai now, and he will arrange the next action."
**
"Although Mr. Fukuzawa said so," Araya Aoki repeated Fukuzawa Yukichi's words to Dazai Osamu, "but I still have a little bit of my own selfishness."
He took a few steps towards the window, pointed to the airship that looked like a white whale in midair, and the light in his eyes flickered a few times: "I must see Fitzgerald."
The implication is that no matter what Dazai Osamu thinks, he must board the ship.
Osamu Dazai smiled and said, "I was planning to let you go there too. If you leave now, you might meet someone from our detective agency."
Aoki Araya smiled at him.
After confirming the name and appearance of the member of the detective agency that Osamu Dazai said, Aoki bid farewell to him.
After Shuji Tsushima left the detective agency, and went to the white whale according to his own plan in the name of obeying the order, Osamu Dazai looked around the detective agency where there was no one left, and called Ango Sakaguchi for the second time. Number.
"It's a prophecy, Ango." During the connection process, Dazai Osamu said with a gloating tone, "It seems that you have to work overtime again."
