[Bungo Stray Dogs] With the Light and the Dust

On this day, Chiyejiu, who was monitoring Kawabata Yasunari, found a group of strange people in Yokohama.

They were active in the streets and alleys in civilian clothes, but their actions were very disciplined, like a scattered army.Chiyejiu was a little concerned about the reason why these people appeared, so he paid a little attention to the purpose of these people.

Then after observing for a while, he discovered the purpose of these people.

It seems... looking for a cat?

These civilian-clothed soldiers searched the streets and alleys where wild cats gathered. Every time they saw a cat, they would approach them and ask in a low voice like a signal, "Is this Mr. Natsume?"

"Meow meow meow?"

The stray cat standing on the container tilted its head, and didn't see the food being fed by these people, so it flicked its tail and jumped up to the wall lightly, leaving only an indifferent back.

"..."

Chiyejiu retracted his gaze speechlessly, and turned his gaze back...

"!"

gone!

Just when he looked away for a while, Kawabata Yasunari, who was still sitting on the bench, disappeared.

Chiyejiu took a step forward, his eyes quickly searched the crowd, but he couldn't find Yasunari Kawabata.

"Oops, lost track." Chi Yejiu closed his eyes in frustration, turned around and was about to implement the second plan after the first plan went wrong, but suddenly froze his body.

Just a few steps behind him stood the man he had lost.

"You have been with me for a month, boy." Kawabata Yasunari, who was wearing a black kimono, looked down at Chiyejiu calmly, "What's the matter?"

——

On the other side, in the meeting room of the secret stronghold of the Supernatural Secret Service.

The only three-flowered cat that could respond to their words, brought back by the military and police, squatted quietly on the chair, and the cat's vertical pupils flashed with a light that surpassed the wisdom of animals.

"Hey, Mr. Natsume, long time no see." Dazai Osamu leaned over and squatted in front of the chair, and waved his hand with a smile.

The three-flowered cat turned its head with a "meow" and jumped onto the table lightly.

Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the cat turned into a human.

It was a middle-aged man with an inconspicuous appearance, who could be seen everywhere, wearing a dark brown suit with a round hat with a brim, and holding a T-shaped walking stick. He was dressed like a Western gentleman.

Only the unilateral bangs and two mustaches are particularly spiritual.

The middle-aged man - Natsume Soseki leaned on his crutches angrily, and knocked on the ground, "Why are you looking for me? Can't the old man take care of himself?"

Osamu Dazai sighed pretentiously, "Hey, there is no way, no one can do this except you."

"If you are a supernatural person, you must have a reliable character, and the most important thing is that you must be able to write. Look, isn't this referring to you, Mr. Natsume?" Osamu Dazai smiled, "If it is someone else, there is no guarantee that you will not be able to write. Will be swayed when I get that [book] that turns what is written on it into reality.”

"You mean..." Natsume Soseki's expression changed.

"The only way to destroy the book." Osamu Dazai stood up and spread his hands, not only to Natsume Soseki, but also to other people who were waiting for the answer, "It is to kill 'it' in the story."

"The limitation of that book is that the written content must be causally coherent as a whole. This is not a limitation set by [the book] itself, but a limitation imposed by the world when it invaded this world, so this rule The same applies to [the book] itself. Just write a story with [the book] as the main character, and at the end of the story write the ending of [the book] being destroyed..."

Osamu Dazai, who was singing like a song, suddenly felt a gaze that could not be ignored, as if it fell on him through countless media, and seemed to be close to him.

He froze for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

"You brat really dare to think about it..." Natsume Soseki showed a headache expression, "Since this is the case, you already know where [the book] is?"

"Hey? Mr. Natsume, don't you know where [the book] is?" Dazai Osamu's shocked expression was very exaggerated, "I heard that Mr. Natsume is the most powerful person who can see through everything in the world. I got the whereabouts of [book]~"

Natsume Soseki snorted, and knocked the T-shaped crutch hard on the ground, "Stop pretending, you brat has the same temper as Rintaro."

"Wow, this kind of swearing is too much..." Osamu Dazai covered his heart and turned to the other side, and then said to Ango Sakaguchi with a serious face, "There is no way, then I can only ask Ango to invite Detective Ayaya to reason— —”

……

"I see." The blond detective who was called in listened to the narration, and glanced at the people present, without any expression on his face, and the thin unlit cigarette pipe was turning between his fingers, "Information Enough is enough, if that thing really exists, it must be in the Supernatural Secret Service Division."

"What?!" Several high-level executives of the Supernatural Secret Service Division showed surprised expressions, "But we have never heard of it!"

"Alas... Even politicians who claim to be smart people have to ask [why] such things..." Aya Pedestrian sighed. The reasoning process was as gentle and careful as a baby wearing a diaper and told the relevant personnel little by little, and they all regarded this as the duty of a detective, which is obviously such an obvious thing.”①

He finished speaking as if talking to himself, and stopped turning the thin cigarette rod, "Didn't the chief farming chief who was attacked say that? The page that was stolen was taken from the book for research."

"If you still don't understand at this point, then let me explain in more detail. That [book] is under the control of the Supernatural Secret Service Division, and the person who studies that page is not Chief Farmer himself. There is another person in the Ability Secret Service Division who is responsible for studying the pages, and it is very likely that this person is keeping [the book].”

Osamu Dazai clapped his hands, "What a wonderful reasoning, Aya?y-kun!"

"That person is..." Ango Sakaguchi stopped pushing his glasses, as if he had caught a clue.

"The shadow leader who never shows up but is in charge of the secret service, Ms. y village." Ling y spoke softly.

——

There is a huge underground library under the building disguised as a rural library in the Stronghold of the Special Forces Branch.

It was a white library, not the same as the disguised library upstairs for ordinary citizens.There is a high ceiling here, and because the light in the distance is very dim, it is impossible to see the depth of the room clearly. The silver bookshelves are neatly arranged, like a guard of honor, filled with precious books from all over the world.

Countless hours, papers and silences piled up here.

A woman is sitting at a large desk near the entrance reading a book.

Her expression was very calm, and she was between forty and fifty.She was wearing a beige hand-knitted sweater, her black hair mixed with silver was neatly tied with a simple headband, and she didn't have any accessories on her body.The light-colored eyes are looking at the words on the book seriously. ②

Suddenly, she heard footsteps coming from the entrance.It was very light footsteps, and the sound of crutches tapping on the ground.

She raised her head, looked at the person who walked in from the entrance and sat down opposite her, and smiled calmly.

"Long time no see, Natsume."
