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

If Q is released to take revenge, there will be two.

One must be me, who will also be his number one target of revenge.The other one...is Mr. Dazai, right?

The people from the group who kidnap the clerk will definitely meet up with the attacking group... that should be Kunikida and the others.As for Dazai-san and Tonton...should it be the clerk responsible for picking up the escape?

I don't know who are the members of the group...Although I checked the information, for a person with supernatural powers, their own supernatural powers are their wealth and life, and it is impossible for outsiders to understand the weaknesses of their abilities so easily.

I just know roughly how many people are in the group.

Anyway, Q will take the initiative to come to me... Chief Mori will definitely guess that I will interrogate Miss Hongye after being captured. If this is the case... Q will come to the detective agency, right?

But if I'm not here...he will definitely seek revenge from another person involved in the past—Mr. Dazai.

...Of course, it cannot be ruled out that he hates me more deeply, and is determined to find me.After all, Q was running amok inside Hong Kong gangsters and killed many of his own people.He acted with no scruples.

Sister Hongye has temporarily reached a deal with me and will not leave. Even if Q comes, she will not be able to get close to her because of her abilities. I can rest assured.

But what I'm talking about with Sister Hongye is naturally not about Q.

"Someone?" Koye Ozaki was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, and asked knowingly, "Who is it?"

"It's Mr. Chuya—" I admitted it openly, and sat down again with a stool.

"...Is it okay for you and Chuya to be like this?" Probably because of the mention of someone they both know well, Hongye's voice became a little familiar, "What if we match up this time? "

"I've discussed it with China, it's okay, anyway, I'm a police officer, and it's impossible for me to fight Hong Kong gangsters to the point of life and death. If it really doesn't work, I'll find a way to avoid it." I replied seriously.

Koyo Ozaki was not as optimistic as I was, but stared at me and opened his lips slightly: "What about after that?"

"Hmm..." I tilted my head and thought for a while, then replied with a smile, and said with an expectant tone, "When I turn 20, I will retire from the company and let Chuya take care of me."

Koyo Ozaki: "...huh?"

Me: "Huh?"

The two of us looked at each other, the other was shocked, and I was blank.

"Huh? I remember what I said when I was a child, my retirement plan..." I said weakly, raising my hand.

"...Are you serious, kid?!"

"Hey? Can't you?" I showed an incredulous expression, "Do Hong Kong gangsters prohibit cadres from getting married?"

"No, no... that's not the point!" Koyo Ozaki stood up abruptly, looking a little frantic, "Do you know what you're talking about, kid?! Wait! Have you discussed this with Chuya?"

I raised my hand innocently and replied, "Ah, no, Chuya doesn't know."

"...Wait a minute! Then Chisaki, your plan has problems from the very beginning!"

"No problem!" I gave the other party a firm look, and put up my thumb to brighten my posture, "I can cook the cooked rice! While Mr. Nakaya is not paying attention, secretly..."

Koye Ozaki waited, seeing that I didn't continue, her expression became a little nervous, and she asked, "You want to secretly...do, what?"

I continued solemnly: "Secretly get him to sign at the marriage ceremony!"

Koye Ozaki breathed a sigh of relief at first, then his face changed again: "Don't use that sneaky method!"

I hesitated and asked: "That is to ask him to sign the marriage ceremony openly?"

"Yes... No! This kind of thing must be discussed by two people, understand?" The red-haired woman held my shoulders with both hands, the strength was a bit too heavy, and her hands were trembling slightly. With a smile, he asked earnestly, "Anyway... discuss it with Zhongye first, okay?"

"I see!" I nodded, showing a proper worried expression, "What if Mr. Mori gets in the way?"

"He dares."

"...Huh?" I turned my head to look at Koyo Ozaki, the other party smiled, and it was completely impossible to tell that it was the person who said such a murderous sentence just now.

Well, I can be sure, Sister Hongye is definitely on my side.I can safely go out and hit people.

The combination of people is actually quite easy to find.

One group must have gone to catch the clerks of the Armed Detective Agency and was caught, and the other group... If I didn't predict wrongly, it should be Hong Kong and black, right?If Mr. Nakaya comes to deliver a letter to the detective agency...he is the one who will deliver the letter to the group, right?That's right, only Mr. Nakaya, who is strong and will not have any more tasks, can take on this responsibility.

If this is the case... the Hong Kong and Hei people are fighting against the combination, it is...

"...Ah, it must be Akutagawa." My expression became serious, and the steps I was going out turned around, and the route deviated a bit.

Forget it, don't compete with the little screw cap.

My footsteps stopped after walking a few steps.

Because two people stopped in front of me.

Among them, the blond young man wearing a beret who looked like a foreigner smiled and waved at me. His attitude seemed friendly, and his tone was quite relaxed: "Ah, miss, please wait a moment..."

He said, looked at the photo in his hand, then looked up at me, as if to confirm.

"Ah...it's you." The other party showed a happy smile, "Sorry for the trouble, come with us."

I was stunned, and a look of vigilance immediately appeared in my eyes: "Are you from... [Group]?"

I calmly entered the mode of responding to the enemy, thinking about it in my mind.

Why did the organization suddenly target me?Do you know that I, the policeman, refuses to open the back door for them, so you want to silence them?But they have already succeeded in opening the back door. The police have issued orders that the members of the group have [extrajudicial power] in Yokohama. As long as it is not too much, the authorities will not directly block their actions.

Could it be Mr. Mori... No, although he is trash, he would not do such a thing.Because there is no, there is, benefit, benefit.

I quickly ruled out a personal choice in my mind, and the last remaining options made the answer ready to come out.

"...Is it 【The Rat of the House of Death】?" I laughed and said in a firm tone.

"Oh." The blond-haired youth showed a hint of surprise, and smiled even more happily, "It seems that you know, this way you can cut down on nonsense and get straight to the point, right?"

"You guys dare to cooperate with the [Rat of the Dead House]. You are quite courageous. You must know that rats are carrion eaters. Be careful that your corpses will be eaten instead."

"There's no point in sowing dissension at this time, Miss Liutiao?"

"I didn't sow discord, I just mocked you all."

Blonde youth: "..."

This time the other party stopped talking and launched an attack directly.

The roots of the tree that emerged from the ground grew rapidly, wrapping around my feet, and then my whole body.

"Don't worry, our plan doesn't mean to hurt you, but just wants you to come with us."

I looked at the blond-haired young man who was talking, at the grape roots wrapped around his hands, and the purple-red grapes that grew out of the vines that wrapped around me, and showed a surprised expression: "So... …Do you use yourself to cultivate grapes, and then let the branches of the grapes merge with yourself to control? You are...John Steinbeck, right?"

"Oh, it seems that you are also very well informed, miss."

"It's okay, I'm just curious about a question..."

"If it's the reason for kidnapping you, I can't say it now."

"Who asked that, why not ask, I know, it must be because I'm so cute, alas."

John Steinbeck: "..."

"Of course what I want to ask is not such an obvious question!" I said, showing a solemn expression, "Can you eat this grape of yours?"

John Steinbeck was stunned, then quickly laughed again: "Yes, this is the real grapevine."

"Is that sweet?" My tone became more curious, "Can you make a fortune by quickly growing grapes? Off-season fruits can be sold for a lot of money! You can also control the maturity and size of the grapes. Sell ​​it! This ability is awesome!"

Although I'm probably the type to see who has better abilities than me.

John Steinbeck fell into deep thought after listening to me.

"Your suggestion is very constructive, thank you very much." The blond youth nodded, "But I still want to catch you."

"It's okay, I didn't ask you to let me go." I smiled, "I just want to say...my news is very good, but yours is not."

As I spoke, my figure gradually disappeared, and my voice slowly dissipated into the air.

The next second after it completely disappeared, I had reached the back of John Steinbeck, drew out the dagger and swiped straight forward.

"You don't even know my abilities, so you dare to come to kidnap the police? And you want to kidnap the policeman... The recent kidnappers are really rampant." I turned the dagger in my hand, grasped the handle again, and adjusted the attack. posture, raised the corners of his mouth, "Are you ready to be arrested, Mr. Criminal?"

……

On the other side, Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who was facing the combination, looked at the enemy in front of him, and fell silent for a while.

This enemy is a member of the group, no problem, the problem is...the opponent's priest costume!

Nathaniel Hawthorne looked at the enemy from Hong Kong and Heilongjiang in front of him, and entered the preparation mode.

"I used to have a senior who was always my goal. I think that if I can defeat her, I can show my self-worth." Akutagawa Ryunosuke said slowly.

Nathaniel Hawthorne: "...?" Why did you suddenly start talking about the past?

"She's also a priest." Akutagawa Ryunosuke's eyes changed from murderous intent at the beginning to resentment.

Nathaniel Hawthorne: "???"
