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

"Huh? Really?" I couldn't help showing a surprised expression, and then handed the chocolate parfait in my hand to Master Pineapple who was bedridden.

PS, he is not sick at all, the injury is not serious and there is no need to be hospitalized, I don't understand why he must stay in the hospital.

Considering that all the people in the hospital were injured from the battle on Vengley's side, I think it might be Vengley's awkward organization of team building.

After talking to Akiko Yosano, I hung up the phone. I turned around and found that Master chose to fight the culprit because the people on the other end of Balian fought and knocked down the wall, causing my chocolate Buffy to fall. .

As I watched this scene, my expression became complicated.

Only at this time can I clearly feel that my pineapple master is indeed three years younger than me.

"Hey, Chisaki! Go buy me another copy!"

"...Master, you are 15 years old, not five years old."

"I, I'll go..."

"Culome, sit down, master, he will live better after he gets out of prison, and you will be hopeless if you get used to him."

"Sister Liu Chuan, ME also wants Buffy."

"...If you call me that again, do you believe I'll give you a fork?"

After I came out of the hospital, I couldn't help but worry about the repair fee of this hospital.But then I thought that Pengelie was very rich, and I put this worry behind me.

Now the most important thing!It's Dundun!

According to the information provided to me by Akiko, it is said that there was a man-eating tiger incident in the Yokohama area recently. In addition to the commission I gave them earlier in the morning, other people also commissioned the detective agency to handle this incident.

Although it is said to be a man-eating tiger...but in fact it is destroying nearby warehouses and eating crops...what a caring tiger, it is even a vegetarian. ah!

The first sightings emerged a week ago.

It is a long distance from Nammori to Yokohama, and it was already the second day when I arrived at the detective agency.

"Hehe—long time no see, Mr. Yuji—do you miss me—!" I pushed away from the president's office and greeted him happily.

Fukuzawa Yukichi, who was sitting in the upper seat, looked over silently, with low air pressure exuding from all over his body, full of momentum.

I don't know if the other party misses me, but it is definitely very unhappy.

I also chose to accept it as soon as it was good, and asked seriously after closing the door: "I came here for the matter of Atsushi Nakajima... Have you read the information about Atsushi Nakajima that I gave you?"

"About this matter... Dazai also mentioned it to me." Fukuzawa Yukichi said in a deep voice, "About why Atsushi Nakajima was asked to join the detective agency... I heard his reason, but what about your reason?"

Why?Mr. Dazai also mentioned it? ——I was a little surprised at first, but after thinking about it carefully, I found it reasonable, so I nodded: "I see...Mr. Yukichi, do you know the ability of Atsushi Nakajima?"

"Extraordinary ability [Moonbeast], incarnation of a white tiger... right?" Fukuzawa Yukichi replied.

"Well, I remember that the detective agency was established quite early... Mr. Yukichi, you have also experienced the Dragon Head War, right?" I sat down opposite the other party and smiled at him, "You also know the central figure of the Dragon Head War at that time, right? ?”

Fukuzawa Yukichi's expression became a lot more solemn: "Bai Qilin, Shibusawa Tatsuhiko."

"Yeah." I nodded and said slowly, "But Shibusawa Tatsuhiko is dead."

Fukuzawa Yukichi was startled, and frowned: "Is it related to Atsushi Nakajima?"

"The information I have received so far is like this..." I put my hands on the table and stood up, "In short...doesn't the detective agency have an entrance exam? What do you think of him?"

Fukuzawa Yukichi also stood up, with his hands in his sleeves: "He has passed the entrance examination, but he is not willing to join the detective agency."

"...Huh?" I blinked, "What's going on?"

……

I went downstairs and walked to the door of the reception room. There was still noise inside, and I heard the voices of the people inside.

"No no no! I can't join the detective agency!"

"If this is the case, you will be kicked out of the detective agency's dormitory. In addition, you will have to pay for the dormitory's board and lodging fees, telephone bills, and the labor costs that were wasted by your commotion just now..."

"But, but I, I already have an appointment with someone!"

At this time, I pushed the door open and went in: "Mr. Dazai, please don't bully my furry."

There was a moment of silence inside, and they looked at me in unison.

"Miss Liutiao..."

"Yo, Xiaoqian."

After the white-haired boy with his back to me turned around, his expression first fell into a dull expression, followed by an expression of surprise: "Miss Chisaki!"

"I told you to call me Miss Qiansaki, you don't need to call me honorifics." I walked in, raised my hand and rubbed the other person's head, smiling, "Yoxi, yoxi~ escaped with my own ability Ah~ Awesome~!"

"Yes, yes...that, that..." Nakajima Atsushi seemed a little uneasy, "Miss Chisaki, I actually..."

"Don't worry, I know you are a supernatural being, so I let you escape from the orphanage and come to me." I continued to smile, "I'm the one who asked the detective agency to check you."

"...Huh?" Atsushi Nakajima's expression was a little dull, and he mechanically turned his head to look at the people from the detective agency, "If you say that, it means..."

"Well, didn't everyone in the detective agency greet me just now? Did you just find out now? Ah, by the way, I also reserved the work of the detective agency for you. You have to work hard to get ahead, dun dun." After finishing speaking, he patted the other party's shoulder and found that the other party did not respond.

"Dun Dun? Are you listening to me Dun... Ah, it's too bad! Something is wrong! Dun Dun passed out! I'm going to call Akiko!"

"Wait! Miss Liutiao, stop! It's really a big deal if you go and shout!"

……

Atsushi Nakajima's joining the company said that it was an accident.

Because when he passed out from hunger by the river, he saw Dazai floating in the river, went to save the person, and then got on the pirate boat in a daze.Atsushi Nakajima didn't know his supernatural ability, and thought he was being chased by that man-eating tiger, so when he learned that Dazai and the others were looking for the man-eating tiger, he was frightened, and finally forced to find food together Human tiger.

Of course, in the end, the fact that he himself was a man-eating tiger was exposed, and he finally realized... Then, it was the entrance examination this morning.

I heard that the new member of the detective agency who came in three months ago pretended to be a bomb maniac and tested Dun Dun.

In the end, our silly Dundun hugged the bomb that was about to explode with his body in an attempt to solve the incident...

How should I say this...

"It must have been frightened silly, poor child." I showed loving eyes and sighed.

First, he was scared stupid by himself, and then he was scared stupid by his own people... This child is really unlucky.Judging from the current performance, there is a sharp contrast with Atsushi Nakajima, who has become the captain of the mafia guerrilla in another world, but the bad luck is the same.

Atsushi Nakajima heard my description, with a mournful face, choked up a sob, and didn't say much.

"If Miss Rokujo didn't ask you, it wouldn't be so easy for you to join the detective agency." Kunikida Doppo adjusted his glasses and said angrily.

"Is it like this? Thank you, Miss Chisaki..." Atsushi Nakajima looked at me, still a little curious, "Sister Chisaki, are you also a member of the detective agency?"

"No, I'm not." I pointed to myself, eager to try, "Dun Dun, why don't you guess?"

"Hey? Guess the occupation..." Atsushi Nakajima seemed a little embarrassed.

"Three chances, if you guess correctly, I will pay you for a month's meals."

Atsushi Nakajima's expression changed immediately: "Private detective!"

"wrong."

"Then..." Atsushi Nakajima asked hesitantly, "Is it the teacher?"

"Ah, what an unexpected direction...but no, but Kunikida used to be a math teacher."

"...Uh! Miss Liujo, how do you know..."

"Mr. Dazai told me."

"Dazai—"

While Kunikida was beating Dazai, on the other side, Atsushi Nakajima, who had only one last chance left, became a little struggling. After a moment of silence, he asked cautiously, "Is it the Mafia?"

I'm not."

Osamu Dazai, who was at the side, asked curiously, "Why do you think Xiaoqian is a mafia, Atsushi?"

"Because, because the first time I saw Chisaki-san, there was such a feeling of fear and unconscious obedience..." Nakajima Atsushi scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

Do you obey... My expression gradually became serious, and I drank my coffee, feeling refreshed in my heart.

Wow, I love that word!

"Natou, guess my previous occupation. It's also three chances." Dazai Osamu pointed at himself with a smile, "If you guess correctly, I will pay you for a month's meals."

"Huh? Really?" Atsushi Nakajima immediately hooked his hook, staring at the black-haired young man with a troubled expression on his face, "Hmm...a writer?"

"No."

"Then...the actor?"

"Pfft—" I sprayed on the sidelines, "What a resemblance! This kind of person will make the director want to commit suicide if he joins the crew!"

"It's too much, Xiaoqian. If I play the suicide officer, I will do a good job!"

"That's right, you'll be top-notch in playing the corpse."

"However...it's really embarrassing to say that I'm an actor so directly."

Seeing the shy expression of the black-haired young man sitting next to me, my whole body got goosebumps: "With all due respect, Mr. Dazai, you have never been embarrassed in your life, have you?"

"Did Mr. Dazai and Miss Chisaki know each other before?" Atsushi Nakajima was stunned for a moment and asked.

"Huh?" I turned to look at him and nodded, "Yes, we are friends..."

"It's a delicate relationship that is inseparable and inseparable, and outsiders can't get involved."

I looked at the person who spoke with threatening eyes: "...No, no, Mr. Dazai, if you continue to behave like this, I will break up with you."

"So... Dazai-san and Chisaki-san worked together before?" Atsushi Nakajima's face became serious, as if he had finally found the truth, "I see, it's... Manga, right?"

Me & Osamu Dazai: "..."

Kunikida Doppo: "Pfft—hahahahaha!"

Atsushi Nakajima hadn't guessed the occupation of any of us, he was off track from the start.

And after Atsushi Nakajima walked away dejectedly, I looked at Mr. Dazai's current partner Kunikida: "Mr. Kunikida, do you know Mr. Dazai's previous occupation?"

"Huh? Of course I know." Kunikida Doppo adjusted his glasses, frowned, and said, "You and Dazai used to be colleagues, right?"

I nod.Mr. Dazai will never take the initiative to tell. Could it be Mr. Ranpo or Akiko who said it...

"Rokujo, aren't you a policeman like your brother? Dazai is too." Kunikida Doppo said with a look of repulsion, "Dazai must have been that kind of dirty policeman before..."

"..." What is Kunikida!You said it so firmly, but you are clearly the person who knows the least!My expression was very kind for a while.

"Miss Liutiao, what expression do you have..."

I couldn't help but stepped forward and patted Kunikida on the shoulder: "Well, I just think Kunikida you are really innocent."

"……what?"

Osamu Dazai put his hand on Kunikida's other shoulder: "Xiaoqian, are you wrong? You are innocent and stupid, right?"

"Hey! You two! What are you hiding from me?"

……

Is it my illusion?Dazai-san's partners are all innocent... no, maybe they are innocent and innocent, set off by Dazai-san.

"However... I'm still a little curious, Mr. Dazai, how did you come up with the idea of ​​letting Dundun join the agency?" When we left the detective agency to be alone, I looked at the young man in the windbreaker beside me, with some doubts, "I want Dundun to join the agency. I only mentioned it to Mr. Yuji."

"It's like this..." Osamu Dazai didn't show any surprise, but instead smiled, and said in an innocent tone, "Guess?"

"...Guess your size." My black line said so but I still thought about it, and asked hesitantly, "Do you want Dundun and Xiaoluo... Akutagawa to debut as a group?"

The other party looked at me with somewhat surprised eyes, and said in amazement: "As expected of Xiaoqian, she really understands me."

"...No, I don't understand, I thought you were going to send them to Thailand and come back to become Yokohama girls to debut and save Yokohama." I said blankly.

"This idea..." Osamu Dazai lowered his head and touched his chin thoughtfully.

I became terrified: "No! You are not Mr. Dazai! Please calm down! Letting them become magical girls is better than this!"

"Huh? Then I'm a QB?"

I panicked even more: "I'm just talking, don't take it seriously!"

"Xiao Qian, you worry too much." The black-haired young man put his hands in the pockets of the windbreaker, and took the lead to take a step forward. The wind blowing in front of him lifted the tail of the other party's coat. From my angle, I couldn't see the other party clearly. Turning his face, he could only see the black hair that was already somewhat messy being blown up.

And that indifferent voice that didn't seem to carry much emotion came.

"I want them to become the new double black."

[The abilities of Atsushi Nakajima and Ryunosuke Akutagawa will form a singularity of power, which is indispensable for Yokohama, as the successor of the new "double black". 】

I was still in a daze, and like a conditioned reflex, I quickly took two steps forward and grabbed the opponent's wrist.
