Seeking the Law of Summoning in Taisho

At eight o'clock in the evening, when the sky was completely covered by the black curtain, Butterfly Kanae arrived at the entrance of the ballroom of the mansion holding Osamu Dazai's arm.

There were faint sounds of music and laughter coming from inside the velvet door curtain, and outside the door curtain, the men and women who came together were talking at a suitable volume, and the expressions on their faces were undisguised anticipation and joy for the dance.

Butterfly Chanae is in it, and the worry that occasionally leaks from her eyebrows makes people feel that she is completely out of place with this place.

The back of her hand was patted, she looked up, and saw the young man in a suit and leather shoes calmly and gently said to her, "Don't worry."

In the afternoon, after a series of inspections on the daughter of the coffee shop owner, Butterfly Kanae had no choice but to accept the worst news with a solemn expression——the other party had traces of using vampirism on her body.

In other words, all the residents who fell into a coma in this mansion may have been affected by vampirism.

The two people's previous guesses were largely correct-it was a man-made disaster.

Butterfly Kanae couldn't feel relieved when she thought that all the people who attended the ball tonight might be used by the ghosts behind the scenes.

Osamu Dazai also understood this, so he comforted her and said: "The enemy is in the dark, but we are in the light. Even if Kanao Hui-kun is so worried that he can't walk, there is no way to solve the problem now. Why don't you treat it like an ordinary dance party?" , can also play a role in confusing the other party.”

Butterfly Kanae knew that the other party was right, tried to take a deep breath, and after exhaling slowly, she sighed softly: "Mr. Dazai's mentality is really good."

Osamu Dazai glanced at her with a smile, and instead of answering the question, he asked, "Can Kanae-kun dance?"

"Huh?" Butterfly Chana Hui was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook her head, "I don't know. Before... Mom and Dad were both pharmacists, and they would never attend such a dance, so they didn't learn."

After finishing speaking, she suddenly realized something, and said nervously, "Not dancing...would it be weird?"

"Haha~" Osamu Dazai still looked relaxed, "Don't worry, don't worry, I will be by Kanae-kun's side, and help you stop those who don't know you~"

As he spoke, he winked at the other party, his tone lively as if what the two of them were about to step into was not a battlefield, but, as he said, an extremely ordinary ball.

Perhaps infected by his emotions, Butterfly Kanae unconsciously curled the corners of her lips and relaxed slightly.

Osamu Dazai handed the two tickets to the person at the door, the velvet curtain was lifted, the music inside instantly became louder, and the dazzling lights and the shaking crowd came into view together.

The two walked inside.

The dome hung with gold ornaments was illuminated by the lights, resplendent and resplendent, and the light sprinkled everywhere in the hall, showing luxury and obscenity.

In the center of the ballroom stands a sculpture of a woman with a blank face, but it doesn't look weird, just like the blank space of an ink painting, giving people infinite possibilities for reverie.

Osamu Dazai led Butterfly Kanae to the sofa in the shade and sat down. Someone seemed to have seen them not far away, and soon after the two sat down, they walked around the crowd and walked nearby.

"Mr. Dazai, Ms. Kanae, would you like something to drink?" Teruko changed her attire, but she still smiled like she was in a coffee shop, polite and friendly.

The two greeted each other, and Osamu Dazai ordered a glass of wine casually, and ordered a small cake for Butterfly Kanae.

After Teruko left, Butterfly Kanae looked at the back of the other party and couldn't help laughing.

"Miss Zhaozi is really a person with a very good personality," she frowned slightly when she said this, "I hope she doesn't find the sun wheel knife under the bar."

After drawing blood for the boss's daughter, Osamu Dazai once asked Teruko if he could go to see the inside of the ballroom on the grounds of curiosity, and got an affirmative answer from the other party.

Perhaps it is because most of the people received by this mansion are either rich or noble, and the mansion has few restrictions on the residents, so the residents are more free.

The two not only visited the dance hall, but also learned from Teruko's introduction that she would work behind the bar most of the night.

After learning about this, Butterfly Kanae decided to hide the Japanese sword inside the bar. Only in this way, when danger comes, she can retrieve the weapon faster and protect Miss Teruko's safety.

However, if Ms. Zhaozi found out about this in advance, she might think that they are the dangerous people and deceive her feelings.

"Too many things to worry about will speed up aging," Osamu Dazai found a piece of note paper from nowhere, and said to her while brushing something, "Kana Hui-kun is only 13 years old. There are wrinkles."

Rao Butterfly Chana Hui usually doesn't care about her appearance, when she suddenly heard this kind of words, she subconsciously raised her hand to touch her face, and said nervously: "Eh? Is it true? I... I have wrinkles ?!"

Could it be... She is getting old before she grows up? !

Osamu Dazai put away the pen, turned the pen in his hand, tapped the other person's forehead with the body of the pen, and said casually: "I lied to you."

Butterfly Kanae couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It's okay, it doesn't seem to be getting old.

"It's just that, Kanae-kun, don't be so worried all the time. Alas, one or two, they both look like adults." Osamu Dazai buttoned the cap of the pen, put it in the pocket of his suit, and said with emotion.

Butterfly Chana Hui didn't have time to ask the other party what "one or two" meant, so she saw that the other party's eyes turned away at this moment, looking behind her, and she turned her head away.

Teriko put down the things on the tray, and after saying "Use slowly" as usual, she seemed unable to restrain her inner worries, and asked Butterfly Kanae, "I wonder if Miss Kanae's inspection of the boss's daughter has any results?"

Hearing this, Butterfly Kanae showed a few apologetic expressions on her face, and her voice lowered: "I'm sorry, I'm not good at learning."

It's not good to tell outsiders about ghosts, so she can only hide it in this way.

In fact, her voice was a little low, and she couldn't hear it clearly in a lively dance hall, but Teruko looked at the other person's expression, and she could probably guess the other person's meaning, and she was more worried than before.

Osamu Dazai spoke at this moment: "Have the mansion invited many doctors?"

Although she doesn't quite understand why he asked this question at this time, Teruko still nodded her head: "As far as I know, there are already seven or eight doctors here, including famous doctors from Shibuya and the surrounding areas. Come, but without exception, there is no solution for all."

"Have you ever seen a female doctor?" Osamu Dazai propped his chin and tilted his head to look at her, "He also has a young assistant with him."

Zhaozi thought about it for a moment, then shook her head; "No. What's the matter, is her medical skill good?"

"There was a meeting once. At that time, the doctor cured a person next to me, but she left before I could thank you, so I thought about asking, maybe I will find something." Osamu Dazai sighed Tone, "Didn't you think she hadn't been here before?"

People who know how to repay their kindness have always been very fond of people. Teruko said almost immediately after he said: "Is that so? Mr. Dazai, tell me about the doctor's appearance in detail. I will discuss it in the future." For your attention."

Osamu Dazai looked very pleasantly surprised, he gave a general description of Zhushi's appearance, and Teruko nodded and wrote it down.

In the end, Osamu Dazai pushed a piece of note paper with his fingertips and put it in front of the person: "This is the phone number that can reach me, I am really looking forward to receiving a call from Ms. Teruko~"

Teruko took the note, smiled, and readily agreed.

Butterfly Kanae looked at the man's operation and tilted her head.

It should be Dazai Osamu who "entrusted others to handle affairs", but why did it seem that Miss Teruko asked him to "entrust others to handle affairs" in the end?

Is it her delusion?

After Teruko left, the dance continued as it was originally, and the two drank and ate cakes quietly in the shadows, but the cake butterfly Kanae didn't move at all, and was rounded up by Osamu Dazai.

During the period, although some ignorant gentlemen came to strike up a conversation, they were all stopped by Osamu Dazai with various excuses, and no unexpected conflicts occurred.

But after staying here for a long time, Butterfly Chanae realized something was wrong.

"Mr. Dazai, don't you think this place is too normal?"

She withdrew her gaze from the crowd in the middle of the ball, and turned to look at Osamu Dazai, only to find that he was lying on the table with drooping eyelids, poking the empty wine glass one after another, looking a little sleepy.

She tried to call out again: "...Mr. Dazai?"

"...Huh?" Osamu Dazai lazily raised his eyes to look at her, and finally figured out what she said after two seconds.

He stood up straight on the table, and yawned lazily, "Isn't it normal?"

Butterfly Chana Hui frowned: "But after so long, the ghost behind the scenes has not made any movement, don't you find it strange?"

Osamu Dazai wiped away the overflowing tears, nodded: "Yes."

Butterfly Chanae: "..."

"Oh, why hasn't it moved? I'm sleepy." Osamu Dazai got up and said to her, "I'm going outside to get some air."

After getting the response from Butterfly Kanae, he walked towards the gate.

I don't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that the music in the hall and the passing crowd slowed down like his sleepy thoughts.

And in his blurred vision, he didn't see anyone's face clearly, as if these people were also blank like the statue in the center.

After finally getting to the door, he raised his hand to open the red velvet curtain, but was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him clearly.

The night wind blows, bringing a little bit of coolness.

In the dim alley, only the light board hanging on the opposite wall gave off a faint light.

The light board is a regular rectangle, with white letters on a red background below, and five letters are written——

Lupin.
