Dazai's Cross-World Help

[If you die, I will build you a grave.

Inscribed on the tombstone - Dazai, the man who never beat Oda Sakunosuke in poker, is buried here. ]

Then there is no way, such a shameful thing should not be engraved on the tombstone.

Dazai opened his eyes, and he stared fixedly at the pure white ceiling, the smile in his iris eyes dissipated little by little until he couldn't see any emotion.

Phase one is over.

It's time to start planning for Phase [-].

While thinking, a rustling sound of plastic bags rubbing against each other sounded beside Dazai, disturbing his thoughts, he sat up and looked towards the source of the sound.

I saw Ranpo sitting on the futon without any image, holding potato chips and stuffing his mouth. Hearing the sound of Dazai getting up, he turned his head and greeted in an indistinct voice: "Yo, you're awake, Dazai."

.........

In Dazai's eyes, the scene in front of him was really a little delicate.

Especially the clothes on Ranpo, Dazai could tell at a glance, they were the spare clothes he kept in the closet.White shirt, black suit jacket.Pretty standard mafia attire.

So what happened in the end, Mr. Luanbu suddenly came to him, identified him as the same as entangled him.Was it a meeting by the river two days ago?

Dazai didn't believe it.

Looking at the very natural expression, as if chaotically treating this place as his own home, Dazai could clearly feel that things were already developing in a direction he couldn't predict.

Who is interfering with his plans?

Pushed him in front of Ranpo?

Without the interference of external forces, it would be impossible for Luanbu to find him.

"Mr. Ranpo..." Dazai opened his mouth to say something.

"Since we're awake, let's go out and have something to eat together." Ranbu, who had already guessed what Dazai was going to say, interrupted Dazai's words aloud.

He poured all the remaining potato chips in the bag into his mouth in one go, puffed up his cheeks, and chewed hard.

At the same time, he threw the empty bag in his hand into the trash can at hand.

It was only then that Dazai discovered that the trash can in his house, which had been empty all year round, was already filled to the brim with bags of snacks.The originally empty and cold room has a little more smoke and fire in life.

Is it really okay to eat so many snacks after waking up?

Following Dazai's line of sight, he saw the overflowing trash can and his shriveled satchel.After Ranbu's expression froze for a second, he stood up, strode to the window, pulled open the curtains forcefully, raised his voice, and shouted.

"It's noon now, it's noon!"

So it's not that he's been snacking all the time, it's that Dazai has been sleeping too long!

The dazzling sunlight instantly filled the entire room, dispelling the gloom in the room.Dazai, who was facing the window, narrowed his eyes, and stretched out his hand to create a shadow in front of his eyes.

It turned out to be noon...

"What would Mr. Ranpo want to eat?"

After thinking seriously for 2 minutes, Ranbu said seriously. "Well, how about some yokan?"

Dazai's tone was helpless: "How can anyone eat yokan as a staple food?"

Ranpo who was rejected, his facial features wrinkled together.It was obvious that he was not satisfied with Dazai's answer.

After a while, Luanbu moaned and said, "Then go eat wagashi?"

In short, lunch is hard to live with sweets.

Dazai, who knew how much Ranpo likes sweets, sighed silently.He rummaged through his memory, the staple food that Mr. Ranpo of the Armed Detective Agency usually likes to eat, and then suggested. "How about some tempura, rice cake adzuki bean soup, or sweet curry?"

"Since you want to eat red bean rice cake soup, then I promise you." Hearing the food he likes, his wrinkled facial features stretched out, but he still tried his best to suppress the corners of his mouth to prevent himself from laughing, showing a reluctance look like.

"Yes yes yes, I want to eat red bean rice cake soup." There is no change in personality at all, Mr. Ranpo.

"Mr. Ranpo, please wait for me for another 2 minutes, let me wash up." Saying that, Dazai got up and walked towards the bathroom.

Thinking of the deflated satchel, Luanbu hastily added: "After dinner, I'm going to the convenience store to buy some snacks!"

Dazai kept walking, his expression became softer, and he asked without turning his head, "Do you need wave soda?"

"Need!" Luanbu, who almost forgot about Bozi Soda, nodded happily, "I still need new clothes. The previous clothes are all thrown in Xinghehui. I want a coat similar to yours!"

"...Is it possible, are you planning to stay?" Dazai who was about to open the door paused, and his expression became stiff.

Yes.

——Ranbu's purpose has always been very simple, from yesterday to now, he has not tried to hide it at all.

Dazai withdrew his hand that was about to push the door open, turned around and leaned against the wall, and looked at Luanbu on the other side of the room.

"Then what else?" Ranbu, who was arranging his clothes awkwardly, looked up at Dazai, and said confidently, "I'm here to help you, don't you plan to let me live on the street?"

Dazai, who was rarely choked, said, "I didn't promise you."

The conversation last night was obviously lost when I was so sleepy that I couldn't open my eyes!

How did it happen, he agreed to let Ranpo join the port mafia?

Now the port mafia, no, the situation in Yokohama as a whole is too complicated.

This is the bad situation caused by the fusion of multiple worlds.As a concession city, Yokohama has more than one country involved.

In recent years, the port mafia has been thriving under the leadership of Mr. Sen.

Currently, most of the organization is Mori faction, and Dazai has always been called Mr. Mori's pocket knife. In people's eyes, he has been labeled as Mr. Mori from the bottom of his heart.

Therefore, it is far more difficult for him to recruit people who really belong to his faction than others.Not to mention, when Mr. Sen has already started to guard against him.

With Ranpo's talents, once he joins the port mafia as a new employee recruited by Dazai, he will never be in a good situation.He can think with his feet that Mr. Mori will definitely do everything possible to use his optimal solution to interfere with Ranpo's personality.

This is a situation that Dazai does not want to see.

Even if Ranpo must join the port mafia, it is definitely not now.His layout has just begun, and with the unqualified players, there are still many troubles.

"You're talking nonsense, your heart is clearly moved." He didn't understand those winding and chaotic steps, but just stated the facts he saw.

"Your plan, with my help, will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." Even though, at this moment, Ranpo didn't know what Dazai's plan was.But one thing, he still understands, Dazai is doing some extremely dangerous things.

The traces on Dazai's body are very messy.

It's the kind of intermittent clues that can't be put together at all, and are completely combined.

Almost, almost.

Just one thread that holds it all together.

If it weren't for the five Zi'an people I met yesterday, that little girl who didn't know anything about hiding, Ranbu would never have been able to confirm so quickly that all the 'abnormalities' were caused by Dazai.

'abnormal'.

This 'abnormality' does not only refer to the five people from Zi'an who traveled from other worlds.

It refers to their world, which is an 'abnormality' in which several worlds are pieced together using poor-quality, children's embroidery-like sewing techniques.

From Ranbu's point of view, it looks like a horse with fins on its head, a cat's tail on its back, and a unicycle on its feet.

After realizing that something was wrong, Luanbu tried to verify it with the people around him, but after talking with the duck for a long time, all he got was strange, incomprehensible, and disgusted eyes from others.

Unable to get answers from other people, Ranbu begins to suspect that the world is false, but memory and intuition are always reminding him that this world is real.

Ranbu, who couldn't find the root of the 'abnormality', could only bury his doubts in the depths of his memory.In self-doubt, go with the crowd.

——Until I met Dazai by the river that day.

Ranpo became curious about Dazai, as if it was some strange switch, once it was turned on, it would develop into an uncontrollable place.

This uncontrollability was pushed to its peak the moment he met Zi'an and the other five.As early as many years ago, the memory of Ranpo's doubts about the world began to wake up little by little.

Dazai was silent, the shadows cast by the leaves outside the window fell on his face, bright and dark.In the small space, only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard in silence for a while.

For a long time, with a hoarse voice, he said a very inexplicable sentence. "Mr. Ranpo, do you want to try to be a detective?"

Why be a detective?

Because Ranpo in Dazai's memory was a detective.

Absurdity, grievance and anger... all kinds of emotions surged in Luanbu's heart.

"Are you really looking at me?" Luanbu walked in front of Dazai, staring stubbornly at the dark iris eyes, trying to see something from inside.

"Dazai, why do you keep looking for shadows that don't exist on me?"

As soon as the words were spoken, Luanbu became annoyed.Without him, the expression of the black-haired boy in front of him made Luan Bu understand that he seemed to have said something wrong.

.........

Dazai's pupils shrink slightly, his mouth opens and closes to say something, the words that are used to deceiving others in his mind, but he can't say a word at this time.

Be seen through.

The torrent of time pushed everyone forward, only him, Osamu Dazai, was trapped in the memory of the main world and could not get out.

In the end Dazai was just embarrassed, turned his head away from looking at Ranpo in front of him, and said in a low voice, "Sorry, Mr. Ranpo."

Another piece of the puzzle is complete.

At this moment, Ranpo suddenly realized that the only person in the world whose memory has not been modified is Dazai in front of him.

Once the deepest hidden clues are pulled out and strung together, the truth of everything will only become clearer and clearer.

The world has a self-protection mechanism.

In this stitched world, people who perceive "abnormality" will be deleted or modified by the world consciousness in various ways.

The reason for this is simple.

——For the stability of this world.

And what role does the only person whose memory cannot be modified play here?

Obviously, this man is the anchor of the world, the poor man who keeps the world peaceful.

In just a few seconds, Luanbu already understood.

The left eye is the price, and life is the price. The man in black before him has already mortgaged everything he has to this world.

——What is the purpose?

Why Dazai?

Not enough clues.

The only clue was: "You are such an idiot, Dazai."

Dazai, who never planned to hide anything from Ranpo, sighed. He is indeed Mr. Ranpo who surpassed all supernatural beings.

Just relying on his subtle reaction, he calculated everything, and even successfully got rid of the hint of world consciousness.Sure enough, the ability of world consciousness to change memory is really ordinary.

It's okay to deal with some ordinary people. Sensitive smart people like them can easily find 'abnormalities'.

This also shows that his layout needs to be adjusted slightly. After all, the rats in the sewer are not so easy to deal with.

I just don't know if Mr. Sen has noticed anything.

Without waiting for Dazai to say anything, Luanbu stretched out his hand and pushed Dazai: "Didn't you say you want to go out to eat red bean rice cake soup? I'm about to starve to death, Dazai, hurry up and clean up!"

——The temptation between them should come to an end here.

After Dazai came out of the bathroom, Ranpo had already put his small satchel on his back, leaning against the entrance and waiting, when he heard the noise, Ranbu turned his head to look at Dazai, the shirt collars with one high and one low came from Dazai's perspective It looks very eye-catching.

"Let's go." Luanbu, who didn't realize that the button of his shirt was crooked, spoke cheerfully and full of expectation.

"Wait a second!" How could he let Mr. Ranbu go out like this!Resigned to his fate, under Ranpo's suspicious gaze, Dazai reached out to help Ranpo re-button and tie.

Mr. Ranpo can't take care of himself by himself, Dazai thought, screening one by one in his mind, is there any credible subordinate who can take care of and protect Mr. Ranpo.

At this time, Dazai couldn't help but miss the good-tempered Dun Jun, who worked hard and was well-behaved and sensible.Why don't you take the time to go to the orphanage these two days and bring Dunjun out.

As for Akutagawa...

How should I put it, Akutagawa is indeed a good boy, his abilities are easy to use, and there is a lot of room for development.

But there is one thing, Akutagawa is really too stubborn.He may not be suitable to teach Akutagawa, just like what he said in the main world, it will be different if it is given to Oda to teach.

The most important point, Dazai will never forget, the woman who jumped at him and claimed to be his dog.

But Akutagawa is very dog-like in every respect.The nickname on Leibo Street is also the mad dog that doesn't bark.

Restaurant.

Dazai watched helplessly as Ranpo ordered adzuki rice cake soup as a main course, and then ordered three-color meatballs, yokan, kudzu, water mantou, and almost all the desserts on the menu.

The polite smile on the face of the waiter at the side was a little stiff when reading the menu.

"In addition to what Mr. Ranpo said, I also want a sweet curry and a spicy curry." After Ranpo finished ordering, Dazai added slowly.

The sweet curry is for Mr. Ranpo, and the staple food at noon is adzuki bean and rice cake soup. Even Dazai knows that such a eating habit is very unhealthy.

but……

"Mr. Ranpo, why did you order red bean rice cake soup, but didn't eat rice cakes?" Dazai looked at the opposite Ranpo who was skillfully moving, picked out the rice cakes in the bowl one by one, threw them aside, and asked him doubts.

Ranpo took it for granted: "The rice cake is not sweet at all, only red beans are sweet here."

So it’s no surprise why you want to eat red bean rice cake soup because it’s sweet.

Spicy curry is an outlier in a circle of sweet treats.

"You can't eat spicy food, can you?" Smelling the pungent spicy smell, Luanbu wrinkled his nose and looked suspiciously at Dazai.

Hmm... This color and taste are far less impactful than the curry he remembered eating.

"Of course I can eat spicy food." Dazai said confidently, taking a big mouthful of curry and stuffing it into his mouth.

At the moment of entrance, Luanbu, who had already guessed the result, handed over a glass of water.

"It's so spicy——" Dazai was so hot that he started to sweat, and his whole body seemed to be on fire, he grabbed the cup handed by Luanbu, and drank tons and tons.

After drinking a glass of water, the spiciness subsided a lot, Dazai felt better, put down the glass in his hand, and said with a face on his hip. "It obviously doesn't look very spicy."

"That's because you can't eat spicy food at all, right?" Saying that, Ranbu stretched out his hand to grab the spicy curry beside Dazai, and pushed the sweet curry beside Dazai to Dazai.

Ranbu vaguely remembered that eating spicy food on an empty stomach would be very uncomfortable.

"Since yesterday, you haven't eaten anything, right? Take good care of your body!"

He didn't eat three meals on time, often worked overtime and stayed up late, and even committed suicide. Thinking of the "Complete Sex" he saw in Dazai's room, Ranpo's expression became serious.

See, stupid Dazai has no idea how to take care of himself.

It is rare to enjoy the random step of taking care of others, and instantly gain confidence.What would Dazai do without him watching over him?

At this time, Ranpo had already brought himself into the position of the elder, and he looked at Dazai with loving eyes.

Dazai who was stared at by loving eyes:?

Sure enough, he should find a bodyguard for Mr. Ranpo, right?The president can't find any news at the moment, why don't you give it to Dun Jun first?

He will leave tomorrow, bring Dunjun out of the orphanage, give him a good education, and pack it for Mr. Luanbu.

"Hurry up and get rid of your thoughts!" Chaos, find a nanny, throw him away, don't even think about it!

"Even if you don't agree, there are countless ways for me to join the port mafia!"

Dazai has a big head, why didn't he realize that Mr. Ranpo is so difficult to deal with before.

After Ranpo finished eating all the desserts spread all over the table, the sweet curry in front of Dazai only moved a few mouthfuls, still as if it had just been served.

You must be full, right?Ranbu thought a little uncertainly.

…………

It's hard to take care of people.

——Dazai and Ranpo sighed in their hearts at the same time.

"Next, I'm going to buy daily necessities and snacks." Walking on the street, he wriggled his fingers and read to Dazai one by one what he needed to buy.

"Potato chips, Daifuku, chocolate bars, wave soda... New clothes, slippers."

Most of them are snacks, but there are not many real daily necessities.

"Well, by the way, there is also a watch. Really, Dazai, why is there no watch at the door of your house? I searched for a long time before I found your house yesterday."

"If you hang the watch strap, I can easily find it. It will be much more convenient for the postman to deliver the letter, right?"

Is there a possibility that hostile forces can easily come to the door by hanging the watch strap?

Ignoring Dazai's hesitancy to speak, Ranpo continued to chatter: "I also want an oversized safe, the kind that can put all the important things in it."

"...I don't eat snacks." Dazai, who knew that Ranpo's safes were usually used to store snacks, justified himself.

Luanbu: "But it's really hard for me to feel at ease if I don't put such an important thing in the safe."

"……"Fine.

In the supermarket, Dazai pushed the shopping cart and watched Ranpo holding a bag of different flavors of jelly candies in each of his left and right hands.

"Dazai, do you think that tastes better?" Ranpo asked Dazai, who was stuck in a difficult choice.

Dazai, who seldom eats this kind of thing, looked at the two bags of jelly candies in Ranpo's hand, they should be purple grape flavored and one green grape flavored.

Um…………

"I want them all." Dazai said the classic speech of spoiling children, since he can't make a choice, he wants them all.

Anyway, Zhongye's card limit is high, even if it is contracted to contract this supermarket, it will not be a problem.

［您尾号0429的银行账户于5月1日16时34分完成一笔消费交易，金额为32019余额794521884。］

When he received the first text message, Chu also didn't pay attention.

He was riding his bicycle towards Dazai's other safe houses.

Until the text messages sounded one after another, Zhongya, who sensed something was wrong, braked and took out his phone.

Seeing a series of consumption reminders, Chuya sneered, okay, use his salary card to spend, right?

I am worried that I can't find anyone.

on the commercial street.

Luanbu, who was wearing a new coat he just bought at a clothing store and was struggling to hold a large bag of snacks in his arms, suddenly had a bright spot in his eyes.

Said to Dazai with a cheerful tone. "Oh! There's a super delicious dessert shop over there!"

Dazai held his hands empty, looking at the big bag that was already so high that it was drowning Chaos, he rarely felt a little uneasy about his conscience: "Leave it to me to carry it."

"Don't carry things when you're injured." Ranpo rejected Dazai's proposal without hesitation, his tone still full of joy. "Dazai, shall we go to that dessert shop for dessert?"

Dazai: ...

This has happened many times along the way.

After coming out of the supermarket, Luanbu first used the excuse of being tired from walking to go to a coffee shop to eat cake.

Before taking two steps after eating, he said that he was too hot and wanted to eat ice cream from the ice cream truck on the side of the road.

After eating the ice cream, Luanbu said that he had a hunch that eating thick fish burnt today would bring good luck, so they bought another sticky fish burnt on the side of the road.

Is it really good to go on like this?Dazai was a little worried about Ranpo's stomach.

If Mr. Ranpo is allowed to eat without restraint, not only the stomach, but also the teeth will have problems, right?

Can Dunjun really control Mr. Ranpo?Dazai has no doubt that the routine used on him today can also be used on Dun Jun by Mr. Huihui Ranpo.

[How about posting tasks to players? ] The world consciousness who has been peeping at the screen suddenly said.

Dazai found with some helplessness that this group of players could still be trusted when he was short of manpower.

It's time to pick up the pace of pulling nails and making connections.

When Chuya arrived angrily, what he saw was that bastard Dazai sitting by the French window of the dessert shop with a relaxed expression on his face.

On the opposite side of Dazai, an unfamiliar black-haired boy was happily stuffing dessert, while eating, he was also talking to Dazai.

Both of them had smiles on their faces.

Chuya stood across the street, staring at Dazai who rarely showed such an expression.

What kind of strange rape scene is this?

Going out to dinner with friends is fine, the problem is—

"Dazai, why do you want to swipe my card when you go shopping with people?!"
