The human heart is an extremely difficult thing to control, and Osamu Dazai is very clear about this.

A long time ago, he would be arrogant and think that he could completely control others without much effort.He didn't control everything just because he didn't try hard to do it. Of course he can control everything when necessary.

How to describe it?

Ah, like a god.

Later, he learned a bloody lesson - he lost Oda Zuku.Although this part is just the read memory.

Although he didn't want to admit it, even if he tried his best, miscalculations were still inevitable.To warn him of the irreparable state of affairs, like the worst kind of joke, to mock him loudly for his impotence.

So he also accepted this fact early.The world is full of chance and unfairness, if he really wants to protect this world, he must do his best.

Moreover, even if he tried his best, if there was something that was not counted and something went wrong, he would not be unacceptable.At most, I have to re-recognize my own limitations, and then use words like "I have tried my best" to perfuse my aching little heart.

So although he often does things that control people's hearts, he always succeeds, and he has never encountered anything beyond his expectations. He is also very clear-headed and brave enough to admit that he cannot 100% control people's hearts.

However, he couldn't even fully control his own heart. This kind of miscalculation that broke through the bottom line was completely beyond Dazai Osamu's expectations.

If Oda Tsukuru hadn't pointed it out, he probably wouldn't even have noticed it. He would have left a reminder so early and mentioned the word "Oda Tsukuru" in front of Oda Tsukuru's adopted son. , It's like urging Odasaku to find out quickly.

One's own heart betrays one's own reason, and those who try to calculate the fate of the world have not even calculated themselves, and it is embarrassing to think about it.

However, since Oda Saku said that he intentionally left a clue, this time, he really left a clue.

Odasaku, I told you that Chief Mori died of a sudden illness. This is absolutely a lie that goes against the facts, and it is not correct no matter which side you interpret it from.

Will you notice it?When will you notice it?Will you track it down in the right direction after you notice it?

If you want to stop me, you only have this chance, will you give me more surprises?

I'd be happy if you did, but I'd rather you not notice.

Because, what kind of scenery is there on the other side of death?I've always wanted to see...

Damn, I regret it a little bit, I shouldn't have left clues last night, if Odasaku really caught me, where would my plan be?It's all because the atmosphere was so good and the moonlight was so beautiful, I couldn't keep my head clear!

I really want to read the file and go back and press withdraw!Whoever has such an ability, quickly show it and let me deal with it!

Ah, by the way, because my ability is [Disqualification in the World], so even if someone's ability is [Recall], it won't help at all.

Osamu Dazai quietly returned to the chief's office with his own sulking.

It was a little strange that Zhongya Nakahara was talking to the secretary, and as soon as he went back, the two of them separated as if they had a guilty conscience.

A more accurate statement is that as soon as Chuya saw him, he unilaterally retreated a few steps to hide it, and unilaterally dodged his face, and then unilaterally cast a meaningful and strange look.

This Zhongye, I feel a bit wrong, did you get so angry yesterday that something went wrong with your brain?

But as always, he is not good at hiding his emotions.

Osamu Dazai sat down behind the desk as if nothing had happened, crossed his legs together, and told the secretary: "Xiaoyin, go and register a trademark of 'Iron Teeth Bronze Teeth Hard Tofu'."

Chuya Nakahara's expression immediately changed to one that couldn't be explained in words.

Well, that's the look for a slug.

Osamu Dazai added an explanation: "Our family has a big business, and the manpower is increasing year by year. It's time to develop the food industry, isn't it?"

Yeah?Zhong Yuan also gritted his teeth and withdrew his stupid eyes.

You obviously want to please your lover who gave you the tofu recipe and went to the orphanage together to help Atsushi Nakajima with psychological counseling, right?

-

Couple Zenzai is a well-known long-established dessert shop. Its history can be traced back to the Meiji period, and its original name was "Ofuku".

The most famous dessert in this shop is "Senzai", which is red bean rice cake soup.It's probably for the good luck. We never sell odd numbers here, and always serve two identical bowls to customers together.

If any diners ask questions, the boss will laugh and say: "This is a couple!"

Perhaps because of the reputation, the desserts in the store are a little expensive. After sitting down and ordering, Oda Sakunosuke couldn't help but look back and count the consumption.

Others may not be able to notice that he is out of his mind like this, but Edogawa Ranpo must be able to understand it at a glance: "Odasaku!"

The red-haired man cast a questioning look immediately.

Luanbu sighed: "You should pay attention, I'm not just doing nothing, I'm just here to eat dessert... And even if I just ask you to come out to eat dessert, you should take good care of me!"

There was an unavoidable accusation in his eyes as he spoke, and seven words were written on those jade-like eyeballs: "You have other treasures!"

But before the red-haired man came up with a way to smooth his hair, Luanbu regained his senses by himself: "Forget it, I don't want to be angry with people with amnesia, so you can use these two days to focus on attacking that Dazai Osamu. We'll take care of the rest."

The red-haired man thought to himself: Sure enough, Ranbu can tell at a glance that he intends to try to fall in love with Osamu Dazai.It's really fortunate that Ranpo didn't react strongly to this.

It is always difficult to coax a child well. Even if he has rich experience, he is not fully sure, so it is great not to be coaxed.

"Anything else?" he asked.

"There is no eavesdropping here, so I'll just say it straight. Your amnesia is not completely accidental." Ranbu replied.

When Ranbu really showed a serious look, others would suddenly realize that he was already a grown man.

Luanbu, who always squints his eyes, usually likes to act like a baby like a three-year-old child. The strange thing is that he is clearly not young in appearance, but acts like a baby in a very natural way. He is cute and cute, no matter who looks at it I feel that it is against harmony, as if he was originally like this.

But when he took out the state of an adult, he still would not violate the harmony, as if he should have been a powerful detective with sharp eyes and piercing people's hearts.

He looked at the red-haired man solemnly, and the warm and festive color scheme in the couple's goodness did not dilute the sharpness in his eyes.

"There are indeed many accidental events in the world, or to be precise, they are small-probability events. The you who obtained the memory you shouldn't have and lost your memory because of it can be said to have experienced accidental encounters. But anything happens, there will be There is a reason."

The red-haired man nodded in approval.

Ranbu changed the subject and talked about another thing: "Since about three years ago, people from different worlds have appeared intermittently in Yokohama. At first, everyone thought they were mentally disturbed wanderers. Going to Butei, he explained his experience clearly.

"You have adopted so many children, most of them are people from other worlds you met while investigating this matter.

"However, the investigation at that time was not very successful. The way people from other worlds appeared was very random and very subtle, with no rules to follow. Most of them chose to remain silent after coming to this world, which made the investigation even more difficult.

"Because these extra people did not cause a big disturbance and the overall number was small, we shelved this matter. But it was only on the surface.

"In fact since then, the matter has been investigated by me alone.

"This is a secret operation that hides from all eyes, and even Osamu Dazai you like will not know."

Speaking of this, the meaning of gnashing of teeth suddenly appeared in Luanbu's voice.

The red-haired man could only pretend that he didn't notice it.

"In short, everything is interrelated and affects each other, and your amnesia is closely related to it. The last time I went to the Ability Secret Service Section to steal information gave me a lot of inspiration, so I tried to contact the Ability Secret Service Section , I just had a secret meeting with the farming chief with the president."

As he said that, he paused for a while, and emphasized: "This is still the action of Osamu Dazai, I have strictly guarded against him, even if the previous investigations may be exposed, this time I will cooperate with the supernatural agent. Coe's conversations will never be known to him."

Although just looking at the lines, he simply hated Osamu Dazai, but this time the red-haired man heard a deeper meaning from the tone of Ranpo: this matter is also related to Dazai.And from the perspective of a detective agency, Dazai must never know.

Out of inexplicable trust in the detective agency, the red-haired man nodded: "I will hide it from him."

Ranpo was satisfied: "That's what I mean. In short, we exchanged information with the Supernatural Secret Service Division, and the other party revealed important information about the [book] to us, and we told the other party that you know the best about the situation in the different world. So later, someone from the Ability Secret Service Section will find you and talk to you alone."

"Understood." The red-haired man agreed without any resistance.

Red bean rice cake soup was served, and two lovely bowls of "Senzai" were placed on a tray.

Luanbu broke his success in an instant, switched from the rare adult mode to the three-year-old child mode, cheered and buried his face and started to eat, not caring about his personal image at all.

When he raised his head again, Ranpo puffed up his cheeks like a hamster, and said vaguely: "Hmm...it seems a bit too sweet, but it's really delicious. Next time, I must ask the president to bring me here."

Oda Sakunosuke twitched restlessly in one pocket of his clothes.

Luanbu was keenly aware of it immediately, and pulled the other bowl of meat into his arms protectively.Even if there is a certain chance of throwing himself away, he will not hesitate.

"It's all Ranpo-sama's! Even Odasaku's friends don't want to snatch it from Ranpo-sama!"

After shouting, Ranpo calmed down again: "Hmph, anyway, now it's time for Odasaku to talk about it. Recently, there have been urban legends in Yokohama about paper men attacking hooligans late at night and protecting girls. It's actually yours from another world. Friends, right? Tell me everything you know, it’s about whether I can finally figure out Dazai Osamu’s intentions.”

The red-haired man nodded, then remembered something and said, "Actually, I already have some bad premonitions about Dazai's intentions."

"What kind of premonition?" Ranbu expressed caution.Oda Saku rarely mentions premonitions, once he has any premonitions, it is usually very worthy of attention.

The red-haired man thought about how to describe it for a while.

That premonition is really illusory, complicated and as obscure as a dark abyss. If you must find a word that can roughly describe it, it should be——

"destroy."

The series of contacts with Dazai, from the other party's avoidance of eye contact when they first met, to the other party's excessive excitement last night, although the manifestations are different, the core is the same.

All are things that a normal Dazai would not do.

Let’s just say last night, Dazai was bouncing and laughing, and he was very drunk after a glass of wine. He wished he could talk about all the joys and moments of his life, and it didn’t seem like he was purely happy.

It feels more like... dying, dying, so it takes a good goodbye at the end.
