[Bungo Stray Dogs] Bless the world

"Why are you looking so sad?"

The young artist said this to the girl sitting in front of him.The paintbrush in his hand stopped on the part of the canvas that belonged to the girl's eyes, "I'm so sad that I can't even write." He lowered his eyes and said sadly.

The pen tip stopped on the paper, and the writer sighed a long time, crumpling the manuscript into a ball.

"Ah, don't you know how to write it again?" Naomi approached the girl, picked up the ball of paper and opened it, and then started to read, "Hmm... I think it's very good? Are you sorry for yourself, Kari?" It's too demanding..."

"If you knew who the prototype of the girl was...you probably wouldn't say that." Xiangli simply sighed and closed the pen cap, "It's really hard to write, this person."

"Who?"

"Mr. Dazai."

"Pfft!" When the girl in the article was modeled on Dazai Osamu, Naomi almost smacked her face with black tea, "No... that person... I don't think I can fall in love with Osamu Dazai anymore."

"Ha, because I really think Mr. Dazai's character design is great." Xiangli smiled and pushed the cake at hand to Naomi, "especially his eyes..."

"What happened to your eyes?"

"No, nothing." Shari smiled and shook her head.

Why so sad?Why is the smile so sad when you don't make trouble occasionally?A sad and lonely smile is the saddest thing.

Fukuzawa Kari, the titular adopted daughter of Fukuzawa Yukichi, the president of the detective agency, is also the current proprietress of the restaurant "Whirlpool". She has published short stories, poems, essays or some translated works in some literary magazines since she was 14 years old.

However, anyone who has worked in a detective agency for a long time knows that on a heavy rainy day four years ago, this child appeared at night with bare feet, soaked by the rain like an abandoned milk cat. Outside the Xiangtang, I don't remember anything.

I don't remember who I am, I don't remember who my parents are, and I don't remember who I know.

——A child who was taken in by the president, fortunately, without a past.

The girl was named Fukuzawa Kari, and was given a new name and life.

Then it gradually showed something incredible. Of course, this is not a strange thing, after all, the detective agency is a place where a group of weird people gather.

"Eh...seriously...Shari, are you...to Dazai-san..." Naomi leaned in front of Kaori, put on a very suspicious look and then ticked her thumbs.

"Of course not!" Xiangli denied it confidently, "Look, I didn't agree to his invitation to die for love!"

"...It's not normal if you agree." Naomi didn't know how to complain.

"And he has been here on credit many times. If this continues, I can only send the bill to the president." Xiangli replied seriously, "With all due respect, everyone who eats free food should be dragged out and executed publicly. And He also has the bad habit of molesting my waiter, it's a sin beyond description."

"...It's not so much molesting, it's more like being hurt unilaterally..."

"By the way... What were you guys doing upstairs? It was so noisy. I could hear the bang bang bang bang bang." Really unable to write anything, Xiangli put away the manuscript paper and put it aside.

"...Ah? Is the voice so loud? It's the entrance exam for newcomers." Naomi shook her hands, "Ah, come down, brother, this way!" Naomi turned her head to face the trio who came down from upstairs wave.

Xiangli stood up and went to the back of the bar, poured two cups of black tea, and finally smiled at the boy who had never met before, "It's our first meeting, what would you like to order?"

"Eh, eh?" Atsushi Nakajima, who had never been treated so politely before, was taken aback for a second, and said "eh" several times at a loss, "That, this... plain water will be fine."

Shari blinked her eyes, and burst into a "puchi" laugh, "The bill is all on Mr. Dazai, so you can order whatever you want."

"Ah, Kari-san started again, this is really a deep love." Dazai immediately put on a rogue expression when he heard this, and then moved to the front of Kari, holding her hand, "Don't you, Kari-chan?" Do you consider going to die for love with me?"

"Ah, please go alone."

"There is no way for a person to die for love."

"Then bring a mirror and pretend to be two people. In this tolerant age, even Narcissa's love affair can be understood by the public."

Kunikida on the one side pushed his glasses, and said to the stunned Ton, "Don't worry, this is a daily drama."

"Ah, do you want something to eat? Can cake and black tea be okay? This time it's my treat." Xiangli pulled out her hand, and smiled at Atsushi over Dazai, "My name is Fukuzawa Kari, and if you call me Kari OK."

"Yes, yes." Don nodded obediently.

Two minutes later, there was a piece of cream cake and a cup of black tea with just the right aroma in front of him.

As for Dazai, whose daily scenes were over, Kunikida dragged him aside and beat him rhythmically.

"Anyway, molesting my teacher's daughter is not acceptable even if it's a daily drama."

Sanguan, who was greatly shocked, looked at them dumbfounded.

"This is also a daily drama." Xiangli smiled and shook her fingers, "It's very warm, right?"

...Is there something wrong with your understanding of warmth...

Dun looked at the free cake and black tea in front of him, and silently swallowed his complaints.

Then, when guessing Dazai's previous job, looking at Atsushi who was guessing wildly, Xiangli covered her mouth and snickered again, "Does Miss Xiangli know?" Get a little friendly reminder there.

"Hmm... Maybe I know, maybe I don't know." Xiangli rested her fingers on her chin, turned her head and smiled hesitantly, her eyes narrowed slightly, smiling like a Cheshire cat with bad ideas.

"Ah, Atsushi-kun, don't look at Xiaoxiangli like this, she has an unexpectedly bad personality." Dazai leaned on the bar counter and said to Atsushi.

"Compared to Dazai-san, I think I'm already gentle and kind."

"...No, comparing yourself with Dazai, you are too self-defeating." Kunikida held his forehead speechlessly.

"Ah, I think Mr. Dazai is a very gentle person." Shari pushed away the bar counters and came out, "Because I really can't think of anything to write, so I plan to go out for a walk."

"Writing... Ah, is Miss Xiangli a writer?" Dun stared at her with wide eyes.

"Just an unknown novel lover." Xiangli smiled and tilted her head, "Well, and, if Mr. Dazai teases my waiter again, I will..."

"Send the bill to the president." Dazai spread his hand.

"I will use Mr. Dazai as the main character to create a BL novel about forbidden love."

"..." Dazai was silent for a rare second, and finally said to Ton, "Look, what did I say, my personality is unexpectedly bad."

Atsushi Nakajima, whose three views were once again impacted: ...

At this moment, I really don't know... what to say.

Of course, Xiangli would not pay attention to what they said. When she was walking on the street holding an umbrella, she heard the sound of a child crying in the crowd, so she searched for the sound, but found a child about five or six The year-old child sat on the ground and wailed loudly.

Out of good intentions, I went up to ask, but in the end I could only get a sobbing answer that I was separated from my parents.

"Don't cry, don't cry." She knelt down and took the child's hand, gently wiped his tears with a handkerchief, "Could you go to the police station with my sister? The police uncle will definitely help you find mom and dad of."

The nearest police station... She remembered that it was nearby.

After buying the child a lollipop, Xiangli took his hand and walked towards the police station, humming a nursery rhyme gently for him while walking.

The little guy licked the lollipop, and gradually stopped crying while listening to the song. He sniffed and looked up at the gentle big sister, and finally sang with her.

Two children, one big and one small, sang and passed by a young man in a black windbreaker who was coughing muffled while covering his mouth.

Xiangli turned her head subconsciously—why does it feel like she has seen this back figure somewhere before...

"Sister, sister, we're at the police station..." The child took her hand, and Shari turned her head and walked in holding his hand with a smile.

"This child and..." The next second her smile froze on her face.

As far as the eyes could see, there was a piece of bright red and dead bodies. Then, her ears heard the ticking sound from the package, and her body responded faster than her brain. Bureau, protected the child under his body.

The first second you feel is not pain.

——Back, it seems to be on fire.

One second before she lost consciousness, she rang the alarm she carried with her.

The sound of the explosion and the smoke from the explosion flooded the surrounding area of ​​the police station. The young man in a black coat took out a mobile phone from his pocket, "Mission complete, what's next?"

A young man named Akutagawa Ryunosuke, if he wanted to say something, he was offered a reward, a murderer of the port mafia.

An unpleasant vicious dog from the dark world.
