I finally became a bottle of fake wine

"How did Dazai meet Scotland?" After hanging up the phone, Irene couldn't help but start conspiracy theories.

When she went to Yokohama before, she specially investigated the relationship between the Armed Detective Agency and the Port Mafia. The two are clearly in conflict...

So why did Osamu Dazai appear in front of Scotland?

Could it be that his identity was exposed?

Irene, who didn't know that there was Sakunosuke Oda between the two, couldn't help but demonize the image of Dazai Osamu.After all, she herself was an undercover agent caught by Osamu Dazai himself. If she hadn't prepared early, she would have fallen into the other party's hands, or escaped because the other party didn't know that she was a special ability user.

"...Well...why should I report to Gin and the others in advance?"

It would be bad if Scotland folded in Yokohama.

----------------

"Don't worry." When Irene contacted Gin to express her concerns, there was no big reaction.

It's as if they don't care about the member of Scotland at all.

"Successfully infiltrating into Yokohama was originally his task. If he is exposed, it will only prove that his ability is not good enough." Qin Jiu's rhetoric at the moment is not loved by colleagues, "Of course, considering that if he is exposed, it may make the organization There is a little trouble, and I will arrange people to deal with his tasks when the time comes." Gin Jiu said this, thinking of a young man with long hair and a knit cap who had just joined the black organization and had already made his mark.

"...Obviously Scotland can be rescued again..." Irene frowned when she heard Gin's cold words. She always felt that the reason why the organization has so many effective members so far is also because of the exhaustion of talents. too fast.

It's perfectly fine to rescue a potential colleague like this...

"Don't be ridiculous, even you yourself just applied for Calvados' support when you retreated." When Qin Jiu said this, he dared to say that he was definitely feeling his conscience.

At that time, Irene was still a fledgling newcomer who didn't even have a code name. Didn't she complete the undercover mission beautifully, and finally escaped once and for all by feigning death? Why can't Scotland?

Could it be that he can't compare to Irene, a newcomer?

"...That's not how you say it..." Irene couldn't help showing a wry smile when she heard what Qin Jiu said. Of course she knew what Qin Jiu meant, but how should I say it... I was able to successfully undercover because of my young and ignorant appearance In addition, Port Mafia didn't know her own talent, so she got away with it...

But speaking of it, Scotland didn't join the port mafia, it just sneaked into Yokohama, and the task shouldn't be as difficult as her.

"Compared to worrying about others, you should worry about yourself." Hearing Irene's wry smile on the other end of the phone, Qin Jiu snorted coldly, and turned the topic to herself, "Boss is very sorry that you haven't achieved anything until now. satisfy."

It was she who vowed to become an investigator before, but she has been doing it for so long and has not shown any signs of showing. Obviously, even her own immediate boss, Rum, is quite critical.

"It's not so fast to get ahead in this industry, and I'm working hard now." Irene didn't take it seriously. She knew that becoming an investigator was not that easy. It is not so easy to promote yourself all at once.

"Hmph, I just want to remind you... It's Scotland and Bourbon, you're like a fish in water in Tokyo..." Gin didn't plan to do anything, just reminded Irene not to get carried away.

"Hmm... Are you jealous, PAPA?" Hearing Gin's words, Irene laughed twice, "I just keep a friendly relationship with my future colleagues~ My favorite is of course PAPA."

"Shut up." Gin didn't intend to listen to Irene's nasty words that he didn't know where he learned.

----------------

After being reminded by Irene, Scotland will be very careful not to meet Osamu Dazai when he goes to the bar again.

This was quickly discovered by Oda Sakunosuke.

He rarely asked Scotland with some confusion, "You hate meeting Dazai?"

"It's not that I hate it." Hearing Oda Sakunosuke's question, Scotland shook his head, "It's just... I have a hard time dealing with people with that personality."

Having said that, Scotland received a thoughtful reply from Oda Sakunosuke, and he really never met Osamu Dazai again in the following time.

After dealing with the relationship with drinking buddies, Scotland's daily work is to complete the commission of the Armed Detective Agency with Kunikida Doppo in a pair of partners.

Although it is only a newly established firm, due to the relationship between the president Fukuzawa Yukichi, the Armed Detective Agency receives a lot of commissions on a daily basis. Commissioned by the police.

Especially Edogawa Ranpo.

This young man with a unique talent has a supernatural ability called "super reasoning". No matter how complicated and difficult the case is, he only needs to look at it to understand the truth of the matter after activating the supernatural ability.

It is a very terrifying ability.

When Ranpo Edogawa put on his glasses and opened his squinted green eyes to activate his supernatural powers, all the shadows could not be hidden. Scotland had also faced such sharp eyes.

It's just that although Edogawa Ranpo is a very powerful detective, he doesn't know everything.

Some truths that are clear in his eyes will only be buried in his stomach.

Because in his opinion, everyone can understand the truth that can be seen at a glance.

So he wouldn't say it again, it would make him look like a fool.

Scot wasn't sure if his identity had been revealed, either as a member of the Black Organization or as an undercover agent for the Black Organization.

It's just that Edogawa Ranpo didn't say anything, so he pretended that the other party didn't see it.

Speaking of which... Edogawa Ranpo's only warning to him is to stay away from that child Irene...

But he, who spent a lot of time with Irene, didn't take this warning to heart.

Perhaps it was because Edogawa Ranpo could tell that Irene was a member of the black organization, and also could see that the other party had been undercover in the port mafia, so he felt that the child was a dangerous person.

But as far as he is concerned, since he himself has been undercover in the black organization and has become an "evil member" in the eyes of the world, then he has no right to judge Irene at all.

Both of them were part of a large criminal organization.

----------------

When Irene heard again about Miyano Akemi's boyfriend Moro Hoshi, he had already completed several tasks neatly and became a hot new star in the organization.

Perhaps some people are born to be such criminals.

Irene heard that the other party is about to get the code name bestowed by the organization.

She spread her fingers and figured out that the opponent's promotion speed was comparable to Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuya of Port Mafia, and then wondered how difficult the opponent's task was, how many people would be promoted so fast?

Alas!Is it another old silver coin like Mori Ogai?

Irene, who always felt that she seemed to have lost her sight, gradually got closer to Akemi Miyano because she was in Tokyo at the moment, and she also watched Akemi Miyano from being immersed in love His appearance gradually became gloomy.

A troubled expression began to appear on the face that had always been blooming with a gentle and cheerful smile.

Could it be because that Zhu Xing cheated?

After Irene made the following conjecture, she lost her favor with that man, and she didn't know that she had misunderstood until she confirmed it to Miyano Akemi.

Miyano Akemi didn't become frowning because of Zhu Xing's cheating.

She was just worried about the other party.

Zhu Xingda's rocket-like promotion speed is not only widely circulated in the organization to attract attention, but also arouses the jealousy of many members of the organization, such as some people who have not been able to obtain a code name until now.

Besides, the better Zhu Xingda is, the more difficult and dangerous the tasks he receives will be correspondingly.

When Miyano Akemi saw each other several times, she could smell the strong smell of blood on her body.

She couldn't help but worry about the other party's safety.

Hearing Miyano Akemi's worries confided to herself, Irene had no choice but to comfort her.

After all, everyone is a member of the organization, and he knows whether the mission is dangerous or not.

Not to mention Zhuxingda, look at Bourbon who is still running around in the west, look at Scotland who is walking on thin ice in the port city of Yokohama, even she herself, when she was in the port mafia, she was careful to cover her vest for fear of not knowing When I was exposed, I didn't know whether the bullets from the port mafia or the bullets from gin greeted me at that time.

"Back then, if..." Miyano Akemi just wanted to say that it would have been better if Zhu Xingda hadn't been introduced to the organization, but Irene stopped her before she could say this.

"Sister Mingmei, regret is the most useless realization in this world."

"Besides, if Mr. Morohoshi hadn't joined the organization back then, he might have been dealt with." Irene's expression when she casually said the word "be dealt with" made Miyano Akemi feel a little strange.

She looked at the girl with a calm and indifferent face, as if meeting her for the first time.

"Also, since Mr. Zhu Xing was able to get the approval of the high-level in such a short period of time, it is obvious that he is talented in this line of work."

"Thinking about it in another way, maybe he is working so hard just to live happily with sister Mingmei and you."

"Can……"

Miyano Akemi opened her mouth, thinking that she obviously didn't want the other party to work so hard, she just wanted to be with the Majesty in an open and honest manner...

"If I want to quit with Shiho..."

She was just about to confide her thoughts to Irene, but she stopped talking with difficulty in the girl's eyes that suddenly turned cold.

Seeing Miyano Akemi's terrified expression, Irene shook her head and sighed.

"Don't say that in front of any members," the girl looked at Miyano Akemi with sympathy, "I'll just pretend I haven't heard you say that today."

Anyone who wanted to quit the organization ended up with a dead end.

Not to mention that Miyano Shiho is a future scientific researcher who is focused on by the organization. The organization has invested so much in her, not for the purpose of letting her leave the organization with her own sister to live a happy and peaceful life after finishing her studies.

The author has something to say:

Erin: In other words, only "dead" can escape from the organization.

Can you understand what I say?

Minmei: I don't understand.

Erin: Tsk, you really are a fool.

Chapter 57 "This gentleman, it is not a good habit to cower and hide in the corner to watch children!"

"...I hope she can understand what I mean..." Irene looked at Miyano Akemi, who had bid farewell to her with a lot of thoughts, and always felt that this possibility was not high. Maybe her store would soon lose this regular customer.

"The friendship game with Shiho-chan is probably coming to an end."

She sighed lightly, but her expression was not too disappointed.

Sister Miyano and herself are not in the same world, and she knew this very well from the very beginning.

Maybe they are members of the same organization, but they are different from themselves, and they still have a certain sense of justice.

And she is different.

She is a very selfish person.

Or, anyone in the Katzenberg family.

After all, in order to resurrect his beloved daughter, the ancestors were able to create this kind of ability to give puppets self-awareness, which can be called an anti-god ability.

Being cursed is of course also.

Irene has never been conscious of any problems with her personality, but she knows that to live in this world, she has to cover up her differences from ordinary people.

That's what their ancestors did.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have lived secretly for hundreds of years without being caught, and finally chose to self-destroy because of a mental breakdown.

----------------

"Huh? You said you have a business to introduce to me?" Irene suddenly received a call from Yan Yongqinko that day. The little girl on the other end of the phone sounded very excited, as if she was happy that she could introduce a job for the teacher.

"Well, didn't the teacher say that I want to be an investigator or something, although I don't know exactly what the category of an investigator is, but it should be similar to a private detective or something?"

Yan Yong Qinzi still had that slightly interested expression when she was talking on the phone.

"Well, it's almost that kind." Irene was a little curious after calling back, not knowing what kind of job Iwanaga Kotoko planned to introduce to herself.

"I met someone when my father and I attended his friend's party. The other person seemed to be the president of some game company..." Yan Yongqinzi quickly told Irene what happened.

The president of a game company invested by Iwanaga has a shy and introverted child, and recently encountered some strange things.

According to him, he has been feeling as if someone around him is spying on him recently, and he was attacked on the way to school, but these words were regarded as childish words by adults, and even thought that he was trying to get the attention of his busy parents. And deliberate lies.

"but?"

Irene knew that Yan Yong Qinzi must have found some clues, so she didn't take this matter as a child's joke. She nodded and asked without changing her expression.

"Because I don't think that child likes to lie, and the panic on his face doesn't look like a disguise, so I arranged for my friends to observe for a while, and it turned out..." Yanyong Qinzi looked serious, "There is indeed someone A shadow was following the child, and my friends found out and informed me..."

"But because I'm also the same age, the current speech is not very convincing, and it is impossible to say things about monsters casually, so I can only ask you after thinking about it."

"I understand." Irene nodded. Iwanaga Kotoko already understood what she meant. The other party had found the mastermind behind the scenes, but for various reasons, she needed to help expose it. After all, she didn't have much convincing power, so she thought He asked Erin for help.

"Actually, you can tell Mr. Yan Yong directly... He knows something about your situation, so he probably won't ignore your words..."

"The identity is wrong."

Of course, Yan Yong Qinzi knew that this matter could be easily resolved by telling her father, but the problem was that it was also impossible for her father to meddle in other people's family affairs so simply.

"So, only you can help that child, Irene." The yellow-haired girl who sat on the sofa and took a sip of black tea straightened her beret. "If you decide to help, I will recommend you to that kid soon. After you solve his problem, maybe you can start your business from the upper circle."

"And then I became the investigator sister who is responsible for solving the children's puzzles?"

Irene rolled her eyes angrily when she heard Kotoko Iwanaga's words.

I also want to know how she introduced herself to that child...or in other words, how she recommended herself to the child's parents...

It is said to be an investigator, but in fact it is just a specially hired escort to take care of the child's psychology.

Anyway, that's what the Iwanaga family said to the outside world.

"Anyway, you probably have nothing to do recently, so how about accepting this commission?" Iwanaga Kotoko couldn't help watching the incident happen in front of her, but remained indifferent.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." Irene really had nothing to do, since Yan Yongqinzi introduced the business to herself, she took advantage of this time to take a look.

Anyway, it's not a troublesome thing.

Now that even the mastermind behind the scenes has been found, her past was just a formality.

Irene thought so, and in the evening received a call from the parents of the boy introduced by Kotoko Iwanaga.

The president of the game company introduced by Kotoko Iwanaga is named Okano, a well-known small production game company in the industry, and the person who asked for help this time is his child Okano Akito.

Irene looked at the shy young boy standing in front of her, and was a little curious about how he communicated with Kotoko Iwanaga.

"Sorry, my child..." Seeing Akito Okano hiding behind him and not intending to greet Irene, President Okano greeted him. Although he didn't take the mysterious shadow that the child said, But after all, he still loves the child, otherwise he wouldn't have invited Irene over just after hearing the introduction from Kotoko Iwanaga.

"It's okay, I didn't come to make friends with Mr. Ling." Irene's answer with a smile made President Okano not know how to respond.

"I came here to solve the problem of the shadow that has been following Mr. Ling." She said this, staring at Akito Okano with her blue eyes, acting rather unkind.

"Then, can I ask Young Master Ling to describe when and where he felt he was being followed."

Instead, Irene's businesslike appearance made Okano Akito walk out from behind President Okano.

He felt that the big sister in front of him seemed to be really planning to solve the problem, instead of sending it away with a soothing and gentle smile like the teacher or housekeeper he had asked for help before.

So he collected himself and opened his mouth on his own initiative.

"I felt someone following me on the way to school..."

Although Okano Akito is only a child who just went to elementary school, he is a very precocious child like Iwanaga Kotoko. Perhaps it is because of this that he and the other party get along so well.

According to him, a week ago, when he was leaving school, he noticed that there was always a prying shadow behind him.

So he squatted down at the corner to tie his shoelaces and took a peek behind Mimi, and sure enough, he saw a figure in a brown windbreaker.

It's just that the shadow is very cautious, even if he is only a first-grade elementary school student, he is unwilling to reveal his true face in front of him, so Okano Akito didn't see anything other than the color of a windbreaker.

From then on, he would feel a black shadow behind him, silently following him on his way home from school.This made him panic for a while.It's just that no matter whether he told the school teacher or the adults at home about this matter, the other party always used words like "Master Qiuren, did you read it wrong?", "Okano-kun, you may have had a nightmare" and so on. Sent, no one took this matter to heart at all.

Of course, the adults weren't so careless at first, even President Okano specially asked someone to pick up Akito Okano to and from school after he learned about it from his own son, and also arranged for someone to secretly inquire about this matter As for the matter, after getting the result that "no one followed Master Qiuren", he was relieved, thinking that his son had made a mistake.

Originally, he had told Akito Okano about the results of the investigation, but the child insisted that someone must be spying on him secretly, and even acted very frightened. President Okano began to think that the other party was frightened by the nightmare.

Coincidentally, the daughter of the Iwanaga family, who was lost and recovered before, invited an investigator to investigate the kidnapping of the other party some time ago, but the other party seems to be better at psychological escort for children than the investigator's work. Under the care of the other party, Iwanaga Qinzi got rid of it quickly Haze, who was kidnapped, turned back into a lively and cheerful little girl.

So President Okano also came up with the idea of ​​inviting the other party to solve his son's current predicament.

As for Irene herself, she had already checked the answer with Kotoko Iwanaga, and knew that there was indeed someone lurking behind Akito Okano, so at this moment, she only planned to catch that shadow and complete the deal as soon as possible.

"Recently, can you still feel that someone is following you when there is a pick-up?"

"No... But besides commuting to and from school, even when I go out, I seem to be able to feel that look..."

Okano Akito hesitated, and whispered his feelings.

"... I understand, then when you go to school tomorrow, I will follow behind you to observe, is it okay?" Irene raised such a question after learning about Sombra's real body from Iwanaga Kotoko suggestion.

"...Miss Edwin..." President Okano, who had been watching the interaction between the two, spoke after making an agreement with Akito Okano.

"Just like what I said just now, Mr. Okano, please don't arrange for someone to pick up Mr. Ling tomorrow... I will observe nearby to see if someone is really following him secretly."

"If there is any suspicious person, I will catch him as soon as possible.",

"...Then I'll leave it to you." Although he didn't think Irene could catch any shadows, he didn't plan to interfere with Irene's plan. Maybe the other party was planning to do psychotherapy, so he calmed down and planned to Look at the situation again.

Taking a step back, it would be even better if the other party really caught someone spying on his son.

He could finally stop worrying so much.

The next day, as agreed, Irene followed Akito Okano wearing a baseball cap after he went out.

In addition to her, there is also a little monster specially arranged by Yan Yong Qinzi to follow behind the little boy to protect him.

Irene followed the young boy's whereabouts while leaning against the corner to communicate with another monster who could understand her own words. "Have you found the shadow of that person?"

Kashiwagami, who looked like a puppy, flicked his tail and barked, indicating that he hadn't found the shadow following Akito Okano for the time being.

"That's right, it seems that the other party doesn't plan to make a move today..." Irene was not discouraged when she heard the monster's answer, she knew that the person who was so cautious that even Akito Okano could only see the brown coat out of the corner of his eye must not be So easy it will come again.

"Then we can only come back after school..."

"Wow!"

Before she could make a decision to retreat, Bai Shen, who had been by her side, called out again, this time in a very urgent voice.

Obviously, the black shadow that had been following Akito Okano appeared.

"let's go!"

Hirai turned up the collar of his windbreaker to cover the lower half of his face, and covered the upper half of his face with wide sunglasses. At the same time, he hid himself in an inconspicuous corner, staring at Akito Okano at the corner of the road.

He has been following this child for a while, and because of his carelessness, the child almost discovered his identity, which caused him to stop for two days.

President Okano seemed to have noticed something before, and even arranged for someone to pick up the kid to school, but after this way continued for a while, it seemed that because he didn't find anything special, now the child seemed to start his own life again. people go to school.

"..."

How about you rush up today?

Or wait a little longer... Maybe it was specially arranged by the other party to catch him appearing...

Hirai gritted his teeth and thought about whether he should just rush out like this, but before he could make a decision, a clear and clear girl's voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"This gentleman, it's not a good habit to cower and hide in the corner to peek at children!"

The author has something to say:

It's the weekend again, yes, I'm going to explode!

In the next chapter, I will try to let Irene expand her business, and then meet Jiu Ye again!
