The Beautiful Boy at Yokohama Crossing

Armed Detective Agency.

In Nuo Da's martial arts office, there were only three people sitting around the table.

"Yumu-kun, that's how things are,"

Kunikida Doppo pushed away the chair and got up, bowed deeply to Yugura, "Although I am very sorry, please promise us, Yuugi-kun."

Yuuki put his hands on his chest and slumped on the chair, showing no emotion.

The Armed Detective Agency recently received a new commission. According to the client, his child disappeared for no reason while visiting a classmate's house.

The monitoring on the road showed that his child was taken away by a slender figure that was too tall to resemble a human being, so Butei named it 'Slender Figure'.

After detailed investigation, Butei found helplessly that there was no trace left by the "slender figure" nearby.

And the "slender figure" committed crimes many times after that, but failed to capture each time.

It has abilities including but not limited to camouflage, wall penetration, and teleportation, which are quite tricky abilities.

Osamu Dazai's Nullification has no effect on it.

Edogawa Ranpo was invited to Tokyo not long ago, and pointed out on the phone that if they are determined to complete this commission, they can seek Yuki Liang's help.

This is also the reason why Kunikida Doppo would call Yuuki Liang.

"Boss, can't you?"

This is Izumi Jinghua who was entrusted and pulled over in an attempt to pass the test as a cute girl, relying on her status as a temporary shop assistant to make connections.

Quan Jinghua's face was still three-faceless, and she said coquettish words with a paralyzed face.

This is probably... the legendary contrast, right?

Yuuki thought.

But there was still no immediate answer.

Although he wanted to go back to Yumeno Kusaku, it doesn't matter if he agreed...

But wouldn't it be embarrassing for me to agree so quickly?

and……

Amber eyes looked at a certain point on the wall behind Doppo Kunikida, thoughtfully.

That's where the black thread led him.

The black line gathered a large group at that point, and did not connect to other places.

Glancing at Izumi Kyoka, and giving her the look of working overtime this week, Yumura didn't answer Kunikida Doppo, but asked him a question.

"Kunikida-kun, do you think 'Slender Figure' came to the detective agency?"

"What do you... mean?!"

Kunikida Doppo quickly comprehended the meaning of Yugi Ryoshi's words, and he felt the cold behind his back when he understood the key point.

"'Slender Figure' came to the detective agency and peeked at our action plan, so he was able to avoid the trap we set in time?"

Yukura: ...

No, that's not what I mean, you don't have to think of the fifth floor.

I don't think 'Slender Ghost' has this IQ either.

The black group moved.

He let go of his hand, and his noncommittal look seemed inscrutable, "This is one of them."

Yugi Liang walked up to Izumi Kyoka, put his hand on her shoulder, bent slightly, "Secondly,"

In Kunikida Doppo's eyes, this posture just fits around Izumi Kyoka approximately.

Quan Jinghua raised her head:?

"From the information you have collected so far, the targets of the 'Slender Figure' are all teenagers.

Don't you think that Jinghua-san fits this image very well? "

The moment he finished speaking, the black group moved.

A tentacle struck like lightning appeared from the wall.

The tentacle flew Kunikida Doppo aside the moment he didn't react.

But Kunikida Doppo is not the first target of tentacle.

The tentacles came fiercely and came to Yuumura more quickly.

The goal is to...

Quan Jinghua under him!

Izumi Kyoka reacted faster than Kunikida Doppo.

Maybe her physical skills are not as good as Kunikida's, but her talent is amazing, and she is destined to have a very high perception of danger after fighting hard in Hong Kong and black training.

Kang, my backhand is a roll on the spot...

Huh?Why can't I move?

Quan Jinghua was stunned for a few tenths of a second.

And the reason why she couldn't move was because of Yuuki Ryo's hand on her shoulder.

This is not to stop Quan Jinghua, but to prevent her from hiding from my sight and out of my defense range so that the "slender figure" can take advantage of the loopholes and kidnap her.

Black mist emerged from his hand, flowing backwards from top to bottom like a lit agarwood, ignoring the density.

The black mist quickly enveloped Quan Jinghua's whole body.

Yuuki stared at the wall at the end of the tentacles, and slowly smiled.

There was a bit of laziness after relaxation in the warm voice, "It seems that you didn't recognize me?"

At first, Yumura thought that the trick in the morning, "As long as my timing is good, you can't spot me" was the result of the "slender figure" avoiding a head-on collision with Yumura out of the instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.

But now this reckless and impulsive snatching made him change his mind.

In the morning, the black mist tends to be silent, even if it is deliberately teased, it will look weak.The black mist is also relatively light. If the sensory system of the "slender figure" is not strong, it probably won't be recognized.

In addition, he lost his memory after using his ability last night, so it is very likely that he turned into a 'black-clothed boy' to fight the monster.

The breath and face are different, so it's no wonder that the 'slender figure' didn't recognize it.

As long as it doesn't recognize it, I have a chance :)

Yuuki Liang's fingertips danced on Izumi Kyoka's shoulders like playing a piano, and what he struck were not musical notes, but black misty lines.

The fog line is roughly divided into two strands, one climbs up along the tentacles that are about to touch the spring mirror flower, and erodes towards the source.

Another stream left through the crack of the door and came outside.

The black mist left outside the door before entering the detective agency echoed with it, drifted to the outer wall where the 'slender figure' was, and then quickly weaved into a net.

One tentacle got entangled, and the other followed.

Yuki Ryo was about to let the black mist separate to fight again, but suddenly found that the ability in his body could not be mobilized.

——Isn’t it, sir?Are you doing something at this time?

"Oh, there's going to be a big problem~"

Saying this verbally, Yumura immediately patted Izumi Kyoka on the back with one hand, telling her to roll away.

In the same way, he also leaned down and rolled sideways in the other direction.

Under the attack of the tentacles, the two rolled to the sides like apples split in two by a fruit knife.

The abilities in the body cannot be moved, and the abilities outside the body that have been used can still be used.

And Quan Jinghua's body was now covered in black mist, so he wasn't worried that something would happen to her.

It's just... After the two separated like this, they revealed the window behind them.

There is no one guarding the window, nothing blocking it, like a nut after peeling off the hard shell, naked from top to bottom clamoring to come and eat me.

'Slender Figure' ate the fruit without hesitation.

After recognizing Yumura as the monster that ate half of it last night and noticing the black mist behind the wall, it has no desire to fight and has few ways to escape.

Now is the perfect time to open a window.

It jumped up, carrying the sleeping Kusaku Yumeno, and passed through the window.

"stop!"

Kunikida Doppo took out his gun and aimed at it to shoot.

"Bang bang bang" a few times, but it didn't work at all.

Yuuki Ryo stopped Kunikida Doppo, "Don't shoot, it can ignore physical attacks."

"But just ran away..."

Kunikida Doppo felt unwilling.

Yukura held up a finger, and there was a black mist drifting out from the fingertips, he smiled and said,

"Don't worry, I've always marked it."

Yuuki Liang opened the window, leaned forward and looked around, "Ah... I found it."

Then he turned around and waved to the two of them, "I accept your request, Sayonara~"

Under the horrified gazes of the two, the young man was in an upside-down posture because his protruding body was too large and his center of gravity was unstable.

"咻——" flipped out of the window sill.

Kunikida Doppo, Izumi Kyoka:? !

Your way of going out of the window is too stupid, isn't it?

"Yumu-kun!"

The two hurried to the window, looking for it.

But none of them saw a shadow.

"what happened?"

Two people came in from the door, Dazai Osamu who avoided him on the grounds that he didn't want to see Yuuki Ryo, and Nakajima Atsushi who was dragged by him to form a team to avoid him.

"Mr. Kunikida, Kyoka-chan, you heard gunshots just now, are you all alright?"

Atsushi Nakajima panicked, and after looking around, he found that there was one person missing, "...where's Manager Yuki?"

"Yumu-kun, he... fell out?"

"???"

···

The moment Yuuki fell out of the window, he turned forward 360° and stepped steadily on the outdoor unit of the air conditioner on the lower slope of the window sill.

A large amount of black mist that followed from the room was attached to his body.

The black mist condenses into a wing shape behind his back - this is a new usage developed after the black lotus.

Fogwing doesn't really fly like a bird, but it's mostly handsome.

No, it is mainly used for gliding to improve his air control ability.

Yuuki flapped his wings and jumped up.

The fog wings themselves are composed of black mist and have no weight, so Yuuki Ryo can perform his jumping level normally.

At the same time, with the height bonus brought by the fog wings, Yuuki jumped from the fourth floor where Butei was located to the top floor piece by piece.

Pedestrians who saw this scene couldn't help rubbing their eyes and wondering if they had an illusion: Birdman?

Yukura has reached the top floor.

The sky on the top floor is very blue and the air is very fresh, everything is in line with Yukura's imagination.

It was just that the wind was unexpectedly strong, and Yuuki Ryo's half-length hair was blown out of order.

After several attempts to no avail, Yuumi Liang gave up saving his hairstyle.

He is now going to be a dream-chasing boy——

It doesn't matter, the bigger the wind, the better.

Yuuki Liang thought, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

I like this kind of wind the most.

Ever since he developed the form of black mist, he has had a dream - I want to fly!

I was worried that I couldn't find a suitable excuse to practice flying, and there were too many branches hindering flying in the forest, not to mention easy injuries, and there were few wide footholds.

Now I use the excuse of chasing the 'slender figure' to fly freely. Even if something happens, Butei will stop me, after all, this is their commission.

This is the normal use of the resources I deserve within a reasonable range, and it is the default condition of both parties. It is definitely not me taking advantage of the opportunity.

On the railing in the wind, Yuumi Liang opened his hands, and the mist wings behind him also opened to the extreme.

Amidst the excited contraction of his heart, Yuuki Ryo stood side by side and fell straight down.

Leap of Faith!

This is not the direction indicated by the black line traction, or in other words, it is even contrary to the direction of the black line.

But what does it matter?

The earth is round, even two people who are completely opposite will meet somewhere on the earth one day——
