If I don't quit, I will be forced to usurp the throne.

This idea took shape in my mind when I saw the information given by the Supernatural Secret Service yesterday.

First, because Akiko saved Odasaku, I owe her a lot of favors, so I will definitely protect her; second, if I do this, I can connect with the detective agency. The situation in Yokohama has been completely divided by various forces. In a situation where it is difficult to intervene, there is a breakthrough.Not that I can do anything, just that I'm not the last to know when something happens.

Although it feels like this is relying on nepotism...

Edogawa Ranpo and Fukuzawa Yukichi must have known this idea of ​​mine, but they acquiesced to this exchange in exchange for Akiko's safety.And I also understand that because of the favor I owe Akiko, plus this layer of use, I will definitely protect her seriously.And in case there are really any problems in the future... Only the police can compete with the military and police on Baidao's side.

After all, it's impossible to ask for help from Mori Ogai who has brought Akiko down to where she is today.

But speaking of Mori Ogai—this is the third reason why I married Akiko!

Trash Mori Ogai!My father was calculated before and almost killed my father!Then they separated me and Chuya!Just don't blame me for not thinking about the past and hugging the person he wants the most hahaha!

Maybe my smile was a little too exaggerated. After putting down the pen with Yosano Akiko, I squeezed my chin, with the displeasure on my face after being forced to marry: "You are not thinking of any strange ideas, are you?"

"No! How could it be!" I blinked, and held the other's hand pinching my chin with both hands, and my tone was full of excitement, "Jingzi Jingzi! Who do you think our wedding invitation should be given to!"

Yosano Akiko: "... Huh?"

"Sure enough... you propose to Dr. Yosano for something more than pure purpose, right?" Ranpo Edogawa had already finished his dessert, leaving a mess on the table, and the crumbs on his mouth looked particularly conspicuous , and raised his hand to adjust his glasses, "Is it... for revenge on the gang leader in Hong Kong?"

"Yes—" I didn't intend to hide it in front of this famous detective who was so powerful that I didn't need to hide my little thoughts at all, "How should I put it... I have a sworn feud with him, so I can think of him The person who wants it is my own, and I have the pleasure of NTRing the other party.”

After hearing this, Yosano Akiko crossed her arms and gave me a big blank stare.

"It's like a child."

"...Mr. Ranpo, you are the one who is least qualified to say that about me. Also, you ate it on your face, wipe it off quickly."

"Wedding invitation..." Yosano Akiko pulled out her hand and grabbed my collar with one hand, showing a threatening smile, "In that case... as my husband, It shouldn’t be difficult for you to help me improve my treatment process, right?”

"...Huh?" I always felt that there was a hole in front of me, but considering that this was my wife, it didn't seem very good to reject her on the first day of marriage, so I swallowed my saliva and replied cautiously, "Then, Then help me once?"

After 10 minutes, after four treatments, I lay down on the table and didn't want to move at all.

That's not treatment, it's obviously an interrogation, and it's still the kind with dismemberment and the horrifying laughter of the doctor.The interrogation rooms in Hong Kong are not necessarily so bloody.Ms. Akiko must have become perverted because of her psychological problems during the time she was taken by Dr. Mori.

Giorno's friend was right, 4 is not an auspicious number.

"Can't you take it four times? You're too weak." Yosano Akiko crossed her arms and looked dissatisfied.

I always felt ambiguous when I heard this, but I didn't want to move anymore, so I just put my head on the table, looked up at her, and said weakly: "What can I do, you are my wife, even if you If you dislike me so much, I can't just cry and forgive you."

Yosano Akiko: "... I see that you are in good spirits, go for treatment a few more times!"

"I'm talking nonsense, ignore me." I sat up abruptly, "Ah, yes, Akiko, this is for you."

As I said that, I took out a red ring box from the rattan box and threw it over.

"...the ring?" Yosano Akiko caught the box, opened it and glanced at it, her expression became a little weird, looking at me, "You... don't have to do it for this sake, right?"

"What are you talking about? Since we want to do it, we must make it perfect, the kind that does not show any trace." I said seriously, pulled out the necklace hanging around my neck, and showed the necklace on the necklace. Ring, "I've hung my wedding ring around my neck, and I'll take it out and put it on when I use the identity of [Qianqiu]. Although my false identity is illusion, except for my master and higher-level illusionists Besides, it is difficult for other people to see the problem! It will not be discovered! Ah, so Ms. Akiko, you have to remember us...I mean when I show up with you as a man, I have to wear a wedding ring But because the temporary plan was in a hurry, and the ring couldn't be customized, I bought a ready-made one, and the style is relatively simple."

"...I don't understand the meaning of your seriousness in this aspect at all." Yosano Akiko closed the ring box with one hand and nodded at me, "Forget it, it sounds interesting anyway, so I'll accept it gone."

When I left the detective agency, I had already changed my furisode kimono, and it was really difficult to move around.Sure enough, I will wear Hai Laocha hakama next time!You can also wear boots for a retro look!

"Thank you this time." I put away the initial pretense and bowed to Fukuzawa Yukichi with a respectful attitude, "I hope we can have a happy cooperation."

Fukuzawa Yukichi just nodded slightly.

"Ah, by the way, I took back the dried fish you gave me last time and gave it to my cat. It seems to like it quite a bit." I said as I turned on the phone, and when I saw the screensaver, I froze for a moment and quickly swiped across it. , Called up Teacher Natsume's photo album, and showed it to Fukuzawa Yukichi with great interest, "Look, it's cute!"

The other party's tense face relaxed a little, and nodded: "Yeah."

The charm of my cat has been recognized, and I am also very happy: "In this case, I will leave... Ah, Mr. Ranpo——You haven't wiped the snacks until you eat them——"

It's so sad to see!

"Huh?" Edogawa Ranpo directly picked up his sleeve to wipe his face, but I held down his hand.

"Are you a cat?" I called back, "Mr. Kunikida, please help me get my rattan box!"

"Ah, yes..." The blond-haired young Kunikida seemed to have not recovered for a long time, and he was a little too late to pick up the box I put on the table.

I took out the wet wipes from my little rattan box and wiped them clean.

"Miss Furutani...you are very skillful in her movements." Kunikida said dryly.

"Well, I have four younger brothers, a younger sister and a cat, and I'm used to taking care of them." I buckled the box, put it away and carried it, and bowed to them: "Excuse me, I'm leaving now."

Yosano Akiko was the first to speak: "Well, go slowly."

"Ah, Akiko Akiko!" When I saw her, I still didn't give up my plan, and said seriously, "So... can I send a wedding invitation?"

"...It's up to you." The corners of Yosano Akiko's mouth twitched, "You just know what you know."

"Okay! Don't worry, I have a lot!"

……

In this way, the contract between me and Akiko Yosano has been formally concluded.Or the kind that has been recognized by the state.

The next step is to...report the news to the superior, and make a report with Oda.

After all, when I went on a business trip and suddenly married a wife in Yokohama and went home, I still need to tell my parents.

But... before that, I need to meet someone.

As night fell, I pushed open the door of the familiar bar, walked in, and sat at the old seat that Odasaku used to sit in.

"Miss Angel's information...you put it in, right? Is it okay for you to disclose the information over there to me so directly? Or do you want to apologize for it?"

The young man with glasses sitting next to me spoke slowly: "I didn't use this to force you to forgive me..."

"I am very grateful that you gave me the information about Akiko from the military and police... But how do you know that I need to help Akiko?" I turned my head to look at him. Dazai-san wouldn’t take the initiative to say it without being in contact with Akiko, no one should know about it... Is it your supernatural power, Ango-san?”

"……Um."

"Speaking of...what is your supernatural power? I haven't figured it out after being an undercover agent for two years." I sighed with emotion.

Just at this time, the familiar bartender recognized me and served me a glass of milk.

I couldn't help showing a distressed expression: "I've grown up, I don't drink milk anymore, give me beer, the same as Odasaku."

The bartender brought new ones out quickly.

I took it and took a sip, and then came back to my senses: "Ah, it's not easy to answer such a direct question, so let's just say it."

"No, it's okay if you say it..." Ango Sakaguchi smiled, turned his head to look at me, and said softly, "My supernatural ability [Decadence Theory]...is able to read the remaining memories of objects."

"The ability to extract memory..." I suddenly thought of the short life record that Ango Sakaguchi made when Oda Saku told me about his first meeting with Ango Sakaguchi when he was a child, collecting other people's relics and then making it.

I was a little dazed.So... if you know Akiko... did Ango-san go to the MIMIC base to look at it last?

"It's pretty good, I feel that I can keep a lot of good things. It's just the opposite of me." I smiled softly, and raised my glass to the other party, "My superpower, [I'm no longer here], is Can erase other people's memory about me."

Ango Sakaguchi was taken aback for a moment, and seemed to relax at that moment, and smiled: "This is the case..."

I glanced at him, frowned, and said hesitantly: "...Although I haven't forgiven you yet, Odasaku won't blame you."

"...I know." Yasugo Sakaguchi clenched the cup tightly, muttering in his mouth, "Mr. Odasaku is still alive, so I still have the possibility of being forgiven..."

"Well, yes." I raised my head, not disturbing the other person's thoughts.

In the final analysis... it is Mr. Ango himself who can't get over the hurdle in his heart now.Because of the scene at that time, if I hadn't caught up...I'm afraid I would have fallen into the quagmire of self-blame and guilt even more than Ango-san.

Of course, I wouldn't choose the path of redemption, maybe I'm... material for revenge?

Ango Sakaguchi probably finally recovered and returned to his usual state. He twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Although you have obtained the information on the Angel of Death, it is difficult for you to deal with it... Sure enough, you will serve as a representative of the public security and Does the detective agency cooperate?"

"Well, yes." I took a sip of wine and said with a serious face, "I cooperate with nepotism, and the relationship is more stable."

"...Wait, wait a minute!" Ango Sakaguchi put down his wine glass, raised his hand to press his temple, "I feel a little pain in my head... What are you talking about? What nepotism? You... What did you do? It can't be Dazai right!?"

"How is it possible!" I looked at him with dissatisfaction, "I look like someone who likes to jump into fire pits so much!"

"That's good... no! Who is that?! According to their agency... Kunikida Doppo? After all, you have signed up for a bridal course before, and if you pretend it will give people the illusion of an IKEA IKEA room." , but one day it will be exposed... Or is it Edogawa Ranpo?! No, his words should be able to see through you right away... Could it be that you opened your eyes and closed your eyes because you know how to cook? !" Ango Sakaguchi was already in a state of confusion, "Isn't it Fukuzawa Yukichi?! No matter how you look at it, he won't be the one who will accompany you to mess around!?"

"Although Mr. Yukichi and I proposed marriage, the other party didn't agree!" I crossed my arms and snorted, "It's Miss Angel!"

"……Who?"

"Miss Angel, Akiko, and Yosano Akiko. Ah, of course she will keep her original surname after she marries me. I respect my wife's opinion very much."

"...That's not the point at all, is it?! No matter how you look at it, you can't take it seriously?! What the hell did you do?! Ah, it's your superficial public security identity... Be sober! Although you can use illusions I did it but you’re not a man?! And how are you going to tell Oda Saku! Wait a minute, didn’t you date Chuya-kun before? Even if you broke up, it’s too soon, right?! "

"Ah..." I showed a nostalgic expression, "Sure enough, Mr. Ango, your complaints are so comforting."

"... Are you listening to me?! Be sober!"

"It's okay, we've handed in our marriage certificate, and I even bought the wedding ring and gave it away. Do you think I should send an invitation to Mr. Mori? Or would it be better to hit him unexpectedly in the future?"

"...you shut up, don't say any more—"
