Hong Kong and Black Undercover Ayanokoji's Handbook of Tool Man

What a coincidence

The electric current wrapped in Qingwu's hand rang "zi la zi la".

This sharp and thin high-frequency sound is like bugs trying to get into their ears. Just hearing this sound makes people cover their ears uncomfortable, not to mention the sudden bright light like daybreak .

Osamu Dazai's hand was about to go up to meet him, but I stopped Kiyotake.

Qingwu's reaction was also extremely fast. Almost when I called to stop him, the light on his hand with clear finger bones disappeared like an ebb tide, leaving only the last golden light from the electric current.

Although the electric current of his fist may disappear when it hits "invalidation", Qingwu's physical skills are not inferior to mine, but the chopping move is definitely not something Dazai Osamu who is poor in physical skills can bear, it will definitely make Dazai Zhi went to the hospital on the spot.

Osamu Dazai lowered his hand.

Actually, I don't know Osamu Dazai, so why dare to face him so directly?Do you really believe that I will stop Qingwu?Or is he so confident that he will never encounter any harm?Based on what?

At this time, Osamu Dazai tilted his head, raised his mask and looked in Qingwu's direction, with a smile on his lips, he said, "Qingwu, is it number five? Do you remember who I am?"

Qingwu tilted his head, showing a thoughtful expression to Osamu Dazai: "..."

Osamu Dazai fell into embarrassment during Qingwu's seven or eight seconds of silence: "Qingwu, it's number five, right? Do you remember me? Daba Yezang..."

Qing Wu's expression was blank: "??"

For Qingwu, Osamu Dazai hadn't seen anyone for two months, and he had changed his clothes again. With Qingwu's memory, which was about the same as that of a child, he couldn't keep up with the passage of time.So, obviously, he doesn't quite remember who Osamu Dazai is anymore.This favorability is similar to that of a child facing a kindergarten teacher. After seeing each other for a few days, it is easy for a child to like someone new and forget who the teacher he liked before was.

Speaking of which, Kiyotake and Osamu Dazai did not know each other for a few days.

I don't know why, but it's rare for me to see Dazai's stunned expression, and I find it inexplicably funny.

After that, Osamu Dazai kept staring at my face again.

"What?" I asked sullenly.

As soon as the words were finished, Osamu Dazai put the mask back on his face, folded his arms and said, "I just discovered something, but I won't tell you what happened."

"..."

Mr. Dazai, do you think I will be curious when you say that?

I turned my head and called Shang Qingwu, not wanting Osamu Dazai to continue to hinder our trip to the night market.However, Osamu Dazai followed us all the time, and when he saw us stop in front of the lantern, he joined in the fun and added, "Oh, are you planning to go to the Ooka River to set off the lantern?"

Put river lanterns?

Is there such an event?

As I was thinking about it, the owner of the store who heard Dazai’s words already regarded us as potential customers, and actively encouraged him: “Today is a rare day in summer when the river lanterns are released every year. Do you want to write down your wishes? The river lamp is also very good, isn’t it? Many people came to buy it.”

I looked at Qingwu and found that he was studying the style of the lantern.

Asking him probably won't get a positive response.

Still make up your own mind.

"Give me two," I said.

As soon as my words fell, a small star flower appeared on Qingwu's head, and it flashed out with a "pop".There was no expression on his face.

When I was analyzing whether he was happy, Osamu Dazai suddenly realized: "After the ability has improved, you can still express happiness in this way. Number five is really innocent."

I couldn't help but reflect on myself.

Why can he and Mori Ogai know Qingwu's mood all at once?But I always feel that this is just the result of self-exercise?

Before I could speak, Osamu Dazai raised his finger and said, "Give the kid in the light clothes a picture of "swallow", and give the child in the dark clothes a picture of "dragonfly". "

"No problem." The store owner was afraid that the business would run away, so he immediately agreed to Dazai's words and handed us the river lantern.

Dazai was afraid that we didn’t understand the same thing, and popular science said: ""Swallow" means "bring happiness", so this "dragonfly" has always symbolized "victory" because it never flies backwards, staying in a certain place Someone in this game should be very familiar with the concept of "must win", and feel very touched by it, right? "

"Shopkeeper, please give this gentleman a 'Butterfly'. "I also turned my head to Dazai Kepu and said, "Because the butterfly has the same pronunciation as "long", it is often regarded as a symbol of "no, old, no, death". I think someone should have a deep feeling about this ? "

"...I haven't seen you for a few days, and I'm pretty good at talking!" Osamu Dazai's voice was slightly distorted through the mask, but he could still hear his mood changing.

But when the owner of the store over there was giving us a sample, he interrupted with a smile: "The explanation of "dragonfly" is very good, but "swallow" has other meanings. "Swallow" represents the "messenger of the god of love", which can bring people "good luck"; "butterfly" also represents the meaning of "hoping for a long-lasting relationship". "

"So——" the boss paused and said, "Except for "Dragonfly", most people bought "Swallow" and "Butterfly" for the "purpose of love". If you go to the river to see , you will find that the people who put this kind of river lanterns are all couples. "

“……………………………………”

I never believed in these things that have no scientific basis.

I won't believe it in the future.

I believe in science.

Just why does this feel deja vu?

The boss was originally happy to pass us lanterns, but suddenly caught our sight, shrank his hands, and then said with flickering eyes: "I'm just talking casually. Cough, then, by the way, we have other The pattern is also very good!"

If you change at this time, you will lose.

"Just those two."

I felt Dazai's eyes fall on my face after I finished speaking, but I didn't respond.

Dazai also said in an emotionless voice, "Then I'll use the butterfly."

After Dazai got it, he seemed to have planned to run away.While pretending to be studying the pattern, he retreated into the crowd.By the time I let Qingwu hold both river lanterns, Osamu Dazai had long since disappeared.

Only the boss who was rubbing his hands was left behind, and said with a smile: "You are the one who pays, right?"

"……How much?"

After paying the money, we continued shopping. The night market is selling food across the stalls, from common apple candy, takoyaki, shaved ice, fried noodles, popcorn, to fashionable chocolate frosted bananas, and various stuffed chicken cakes. , Wheel Swirl Sausage Rings, Hokkaido Cream Potatoes and more.

The night market is both lively and fragrant.

"Let's eat something."

After I finished speaking, Qingwu looked into my eyes.

Originally, we could communicate with brainwaves, but since we had to practice socializing after the Qing Dynasty, we had to speak, so I also stopped communicating with brainwaves.However, Qingwu did not say what he wanted to eat, no matter whether he spoke or used brainwaves.

"Let's try Wuping pancakes."

I pointed to the stall with the most delicious taste not far away - it has been prepared, and it looks like a baked flat chicken cake, but it is actually made of rice, and then coated with it when it is baked. Served with miso sauce, it is a popular local dish in Japan recently.

"Give me a small one, please."

The stall owner quickly packed one for me, and after I took it, I handed it to Qingwu to eat first.

After Qingwu took a bite, he didn't chew, just looked at me with his mouth in his mouth.

I don't know what he is thinking at all.

Don't you like it?

I think I need number four.

I took a bite with his hand, the surface coated with sauce was crispy, and the mashed rice inside was soft and firm.I chewed it and said, "If you don't like it, I'll help you eat it."

"you have not."

For most of the day, Qingwu only said one sentence vaguely.

He wanted to say, I just bought his portion, not for two, I can’t eat it?

Because when I ate and drank with Edogawa before, it was often [-]/[-], and I am used to this pattern.In addition, half points are also good, we can eat more variety, and it can also reduce the risk of buying the wrong thing and having to eat it.

"We share the food, it won't be wasted, and we can eat a little more."

"Uh-huh."

Qingwu stood where he was, and was about to take a big bite out of my words, when I heard a familiar voice: "Ah, Lord Ranbu's shaved ice fell to the ground!! Woohoo, whoever hit me, I will definitely find you!!!!"

"..."

Pretend not to know.

I called Qingwu to leave, and Qingwu stopped his movements and followed my footsteps.But in the end, there are too many people in the night market, and I can't completely rely on my will to move.Then, I was grabbed by the arm by Edogawa Ranpo.

"Ayanokōji!!!"

"..."

Edogawa Rampo is the kind of person who can make people feel tired naturally as soon as they meet.

"You are too much, you actually ran back when you saw me." Edogawa glanced at Qingwu who was still holding Wuping pancakes, and after staring at Qingwu for a while, he unconsciously let out vague thoughts in his throat sound.Finally, he looked directly at Wupingbing, swallowed, and said, "This looks really delicious."

Qingwu directly opened his mouth wide, stuffed the Wuping pancake into his mouth, and then took out the stick from his mouth to clean it up, as if it had performed a magic trick.Qingwu's face was puffy, and he chewed quickly while shaking his head, not intending to make it up at all.

Edogawa looked at Kiyotake in shock, and then at me: "My share is gone..."

This is not your share...

"We haven't had dinner yet, we plan to eat while walking, you can come too." I compromised.

"Long live!" Edogawa Ranpo directly took my hand and held it high.

"He is Qingwu, with me." I have to introduce Qingwu.

"No problem, I remember. I want a taiyaki sundae!"

Edogawa Ranpo kept pulling me in the direction he liked, he was not as strong as me, if I didn't follow him, Edogawa Ranpo would definitely trip over me.However, just when I was about to walk with him, Qingwu also grabbed my sleeve, and my steps remained motionless.

Edogawa Ranbu couldn't move my footsteps at all, so he started to pull in his direction with both hands together.

"Ranpo-sama wants to eat taiyaki sundae! Ayanokouji let me eat it."

"……………………"

"You let go!"

"........."

The neckline of my clothes was pulled apart more and more by them, and a gust of cool wind rushed directly into my clothes...

"Qingwu."

"..."

Qingwu didn't hear my voice this time, so he continued talking.

Edogawa rolled his eyes, and let go of his hand instead, wanting to take advantage of the situation to make Qingwu suffer, but Qingwu's foot was too stable, and he basically didn't move. Instead, Edogawa's footsteps were unsteady, and he sat down on the ground.

"pain--"

Edogawa yelled while sitting on the ground, revealing the silver whistle hidden under his clothes.Seeing that I caught a glimpse, Edogawa stuffed the whistle back into his clothes casually, then got up from the ground, and muttered, "This guy Qingwu is too headstrong."

"Qingwu is much better than you, Edogawa."

As soon as I finished speaking, the pulling force from Qingwu on the cuffs became less, and I heard the familiar sound of electric sparks flashing again.

"Qingwu also wants to eat sea bream sundae."

Since you want to eat, why do you drag me to go in the opposite direction?

I'm baffled.

Anyway, based on the current situation, it should be a reconciliation now.

I was just about to bring the two older children to buy sweets together, and a big hand patted Edogawa on the back of the shoulder. Edogawa Ranpo was like a cat being picked up, and his shoulders shrugged accordingly.

Following my line of sight, I bumped into a silver-haired kimono gentleman with an awe-inspiring demeanor.

"I'm sorry to trouble you with random steps."

"President..." Edogawa's voice became weaker and weaker, like a microphone whose volume was turned down.

"If you don't mind, I'll take him away."

Of course I don't mind.

Then, I watched Ranpo Edogawa being dragged away by his president.

I was about to chase after him, but Qingwu blocked my sight, and seeing my eyes falling on him, he said: "Taiyaki sundae."

"it is good."

After I finished answering, I saw a young man with Chufa in a dark red kimono in the crowd. He seemed to have noticed our movement a long time ago, so when I met his gaze, he had a serious expression on his face. A smile of spare time.

It's Mr. Chuya.

He put his hat on his head and walked towards me.

"Qinglong, good evening, isn't it a coincidence?"

After greeting me, he leaned out and greeted Qingwu again: "Mr. Qingwu, good evening."

I recalled that in sitcoms, the lines to respond to this kind of "unexpected encounter" should be——

"Well, I'll wait for you here."

The corner of Zhong Yuan's mouth twitched: "...doesn't look like it no matter what?"

"..."

Zhongyuan didn't care about my expression, he just raised his hand and straightened his hat. Although I didn't know why I had to straighten my hat, it was obviously already worn very neatly, and it also appropriately brought out his demeanor and expression.

After he finished this redundant movement, he cleared his throat.

"Actually, rather than saying it's a coincidence, it's better to say that I'm here looking for you, you guys."

Why are you stuttering?
