cat blues

In the two weeks since Yuji Maomao and the others were teleported away, there were also huge personnel changes on the side of the Armed Detective Agency. First of all, there was an attack on the Shintsuruya Gakuin—Osamu Dazai heard this Immediately, he wanted to swallow all the words he had said not long ago that Yokohama was much more peaceful, and that the governance of PortMafia was still considered meritorious.

It was precisely because of this attack that Doppo Kunikida, who had been hesitating whether to be a detective or a teacher, made up his mind to become a detective seriously.

Fukuzawa Yukichi and Edogawa Ranpo, who were already very optimistic about Kunikida Doppo, naturally readily agreed, because they experienced the events of the Taisho era together, and even Kunikida Doppo's admission test can be waived.However, considering that the system should not be broken due to personal subjective factors, they finally took the attack on the Shintsuruya Gakukan as Kunikida's unique test for entering the company.

It wasn't until Kunikida finished solving this incident that he realized that there was something wrong with the big cat Yukichi, and the whole cat disappeared including Dazai Osamu and Oda Sakunosuke. He was shocked and thought of his classmates, even though It is Tayama Hanabou who is unique in a class full of weirdos.

Tayama Hanabou was born in Tokyo. He is a social fear, especially afraid of women. That's why he was admitted to Kanagawa University's Shin-Monk Department of Mathematics, which has about [-] students in the whole department but only less than two hands of female students.

Kunikida Doppo accidentally discovered the fact that Tianshan Hanabou has a different ability. When he was helping the tutor to record the data, he found a person who often did not go to class, but every time his electronic signature showed attendance.Kunikida Doppo thinks that this kind of behavior of using hacking skills to help him sign in is very undesirable. After checking the other party's name and dormitory location, he directly kills him, and then finds out that the other party's "hacking skills" are not hacking skills in the general sense , it is simply a different ability.

It was also from that time that Kunikida Doppo and Tianshan Hanabou had an intersection.There are not many student dormitory buildings in the university, if Tianshan Huadai pollutes the dormitory again, it will be even more serious.

So Kunikida Doppo took on the important task of taking care of the other party's daily life on a regular basis, and even ran to help him clean up the room from time to time. It was also at that time that he knew the difference of this classmate who has a very good brain but has serious social barriers. The most serious flaw in ability can only be used when he is fully relaxed.

Because of this problem, Kunikida Doppo hesitated to recruit the other party into the detective agency. After all, Tianshan Hanabou's ability is really easy to use, but he does have many flaws.

But this time when he heard that Yukichi the big cat was missing, Kunikida Doppo couldn't hold back, and pulled Tianshan Hanabou from the dormitory to help him.

"That is to say, Hanakou-kun, are you still not a member of the detective agency?" Saying that it was too late to eat supper, Osamu Dazai managed to get some snacks from Yukichi Maomao, and the contribution of the snacks There is no doubt that the person sitting on the other side is Edogawa Ranpo who is also very strange.

Edogawa Rampo doesn't mind contributing his own inventory. In fact, he is happier that the cat is back than regretting his own inventory, and there will be a steady stream of new products in the future.

Tayama Hanaburo glanced at Osamu Dazai, then nodded indiscriminately, as if he didn't really want to look over there.

Osamu Dazai had a troublesome smile on his face.

Next to Osamu Dazai was Yukichi Maomao, who had just come back not long ago. The big cat sat among a group of people, with Fukuzawa Yukichi on the left, a famous detective on the right, and three children sitting in a row in front of him.Further forward was Osamu Dazai, who was lying on the back of the chair and asking Tianshan Hanamaki questions while gnawing on thick snacks.

In the eyes of those who are familiar with the Yuji big cat, this picture is only cute, very cute, a group of people surround a huge furry, the picture is harmonious and beautiful, but, in the eyes of the completely unfamiliar Tian Shan Hanadai, it is just a group of people People surrounded a tall man, and that tall man was quite delicate.

Yes, the human posture of the Yuji big cat is based on its own cat face, so after the cute cat becomes a human, it can't be said to be ugly, but it is very strange.

So in the eyes of Tian Shan Hanada, the picture on the left is a bit hot-eyed, and there is the imposing Yosano Akiko on the right. He decisively chooses to lower his head and bury his head in the arms of his dear quilt, Miss Yoshiko.

Oda Sakunosuke looked at it for a while, then suddenly walked over and took off the sachet from Yukichi Big Cat's neck. Yukichi Maomao turned his head a little puzzled, and saw Oda Sakunosuke calmly asked: "How about this?" Do people feel more normal?"

Tian Shan Huadai turned his head in some puzzlement, and saw that the big tall man with sharp eyes was gone, replaced by a real super big cat. He was immediately relieved, even though he had heard about it from others before. It was a cat and two people who went to pick it up, but the visual thing really affects people's feelings. Before seeing Mr. Cat's body, I really couldn't accept the picture just now.

Seeing the relieved look of Tayama Hanakou, Osamu Dazai curled his lips in displeasure, "Odasaku, why did you untie it, Hanakou-kun looked very interesting just now."

"Dazai, don't bully the newcomers." Oda Sakunosuke said very considerately.

"Okay—" Osamu Dazai said with a drawn out voice.

His voice is soft and waxy, and when he elongates his voice, he doesn't feel like a young man who is over 18 at all, but still looks like a child.

"Cough..." Only then did Fukuzawa Yukichi realize that in Hanakoko's eyes, the image of a big cat has always been a human appearance, but because Hanakou usually doesn't want to socialize with people, he didn't notice this at all. A little bit, but he believed that Edogawa Ranpo must have noticed it long ago, but he never reminded him. He subconsciously glanced at Edogawa Ranpo who was leaning on the other side of the cat.

Okay, because the big cat's figure blocked him, he didn't see anyone at all.

Edogawa snickered indiscriminately.

"Okay, it's already at this point, everyone has been found, you can let me go back." Tian Shan Huadai wrapped the quilt tightly around his body.

"Hanatoku!" Kunikida Doppo sighed helplessly. In the past two years, Tianshan Hanadai not only failed to cure his social phobia, but he felt that it became more and more serious. It was the same when he came to the detective agency, and he often talked with others. If you don't agree, you will be autistic.

"Well, it's almost time." Edogawa Ranpo also yawned, and he was also sleepy, but because Yukichi Maomao was coming back tonight, he kept trying not to fall asleep, "President, I'm sleepy, I want to sleep!"

Now people are back, and even brought good news - the new taste of meatballs from another world is back together - I have seen the good show, Edogawa Ranpo decided to go to bed, no matter what else, I will wait until tomorrow up.

And he had a premonition that he would definitely hear something extraordinary tomorrow, after all, the place they went this time was not easy no matter how they looked at it.

"Sleep, sleep!" Seeing that Edogawa Ranpo said such words, Osamu Dazai nodded decisively and said loudly.

Fukuzawa Yukichi sighed helplessly. To be honest, the expression on his face now seems subtly inconsistent, lacking the sense of majesty he had before. "It's been hard work, go back and rest."

"Okay!" Edogawa Ranpo jumped up first, holding the big cat and refusing to let go, "I'm going to sleep with Mr. Yukichi today!"

Fukuzawa Yukichi showed a very embarrassed expression behind him, but in the end he didn't say anything, and let his children run out with the cat.

"Hey, I'll take you back." Kunikida Doppo got up from his chair. He and Chuya were originally on duty today, but if he didn't send Tianshan flower bag back first, this guy would probably run back to the tea room again.

If Mr. Yukichi found an unfamiliar stranger in the tea room when he came tomorrow morning, Mr. Yukichi would be shocked, right?

It can only be said that it is a good thing that Tianshan Hanabou doesn't know the true thoughts of his friend, otherwise he might immediately yell that the friend is dead, right?

Back at the familiar home, Yukichi the cat habitually ran to Fukuzawa Yukichi's room, and after it had laid out all the bedding, Yuji the big cat suddenly realized that it seemed to have agreed to enter the night to get along with Ranbu. We slept together.

"Sleep together, what's the matter!" Edogawa Ranpo, who ran to take a bath, ran over with his messy and wet hair, "Anyway, they are all men, and the weather is not hot recently, so it's not very easy to sleep together. good?"

Yukichi Maomao hurried over to wipe his hair, and waited for Edogawa Ranpo's hair to stop dripping, then took a hair dryer to help him dry it bit by bit.

Fukuzawa Yukichi, who was about to get up to take a bath, showed obvious hesitation when he heard Edogawa Ranpo's words. After a while, he looked at Yukichi the big cat, and he could only see that Yukichi the cat was very happy. After hesitating again and again, he tossed a few times between the idea of ​​letting the cat leave and sleeping with the cat, before nodding in agreement and saying, "In that case, Yuji, you can sleep in the middle."

The big cat Yuji immediately nodded very happily. It is great that he can sleep with Mr. Fukuzawa and sleep with a famous detective when he comes back.

Although Edogawa Ranpo usually sleeps in all kinds of weird sleeping positions when he sleeps alone, but when he sleeps with the cat, he can always sleep very well, especially tonight Not only did the familiar cat finally return, but also the breath of the president, Edogawa Ranpo fell asleep even more soundly.

In the early morning of the next day, after realizing that the heat source around him was gone, Ranpo Edogawa got up on his own initiative, rubbed his eyes, and ran to wash up and eat breakfast obediently.

"I'm starting!" In the dormitory of the Armed Detective Agency, there was a familiar sound early in the morning, Yuji the big cat came over with everyone's breakfast and bento.

When Akutagawa Ryunosuke took his younger sister and another Tora out together, he happened to see an insulated bento box at the door of Tayama Hanabou's room. Yoshitamao did this specially after learning about Tayama Hanabou's character from Mr. Kunikida.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke nodded understandingly, waved to Yukichi Tomomi with two younger ones, and went to school. He has been thinking about Yukichi Tomomi for more than two weeks. It didn't sound good, and I had to ask my classmates for class notes later.

"Brother, let's come back early today. I want to come back and hear about Mr. Yukichi's wonderful trip." Akutagawa Yin smiled and said to his brother.

"Sure..." Akutagawa Ryunosuke nodded decisively.

On the other side, Oda Sakunosuke and Dazai Osamu, who was still yawning, walked towards the detective agency together. They disappeared for half a month, and they still had to continue processing the unfinished reports before, although Oda Sakunosuke estimated that most of those things had already been dealt with by Kunikida Doppo.

And there is also the restart of Scepter4, which will definitely have an impact on the situation in Yokohama, but I don't know the extent of the impact.

However, what Oda Sakunosuke never expected was that when they came to the office, what greeted them was neither a meeting to talk about their trip to another world, nor a visit to the president's office to receive new mission instructions, but what they should have been waiting for. Your Excellency the Editor in Tokyo.

"Mr. Oda! I called the detective agency last night, and I know that you will come to work today." Editor Mizushima looked at Sakunosuke Oda with a dark face, "I know that you have to go on a business trip due to an accident. It’s been hard work, but I just want to ask, what about this month’s manuscript?”

"Uh..." Oda Sakunosuke's back was suddenly covered with cold sweat.

Osamu Dazai couldn't help laughing, he waved the notepad in his hand to Editor Mizushima friendly, "Mizushima-kun, I have a new work, I will hand it over to you after I transcribe it."

"Oh, as expected of Mr. Yandao, Mr. Yandao, please sit down." Editor Mizushima warmly brought tea to Osamu Dazai.

Osamu Dazai smiled and looked at Sakunosuke Oda who was still a little stiff.

Sakunosuke Oda stretched out his hand and scratched his head helplessly, "Mr. Mizushima, you also know that we just came back from a business trip for half a month, so..."

Editor Mizushima raised his blue-black face under the eyelids, and yelled at Sakunosuke Oda viciously: "Of course I know that your business trips are hard, you think I'm going to keep an eye on you pigeon spirits every day, don't let you Wouldn't it be hard for me to drag the manuscript?"

After yelling, he took a deep breath, "Actually, it's not that I can't understand, Oda-sensei, the hard work of your business trip, but what I want to say is that your business trip is really hard, but why didn't you pick up last night?" my phone?"

Editor Mizushima looked at Sakunosuke Oda with a disillusioned look on his face, "Do you know? Since I finally found out from the detective agency that you are back last night, I have called you more than [-] times and returned your A lot of messages were sent."

Oda Sakunosuke's back was sweating even more, and now he even felt afraid to look directly at the person in front of him, so he finally nodded and said, "Then what, my phone is out of battery."

Editor Mizushima looked at Sakunosuke Oda with an expression of "I just see you making it up." In the end, Oda Sakunosuke, who knew he was wrong, had to raise his hand and surrender, "I'll write it right away, please wait for me."

On the side, Kunikida Doppo and Nakahara Nakahara just watched Oda Sakunosuke being stared at to write, without the slightest camaraderie, and Nakahara Nakahara even wanted to say that Mr. Editor did a good job.

"Chuya, aren't you going to class today?" Kunikida Doppo asked the other party in a low voice after watching this good show.

"It's okay, there is only one literature appreciation class this afternoon, and there are no other classes. It doesn't matter whether you go to that class or not, and you don't need to sign in." Zhong Yuanzhong also replied in a low voice, "It's you, I remember the courses in the mathematics department There are quite a lot, why don't you go?"

"I asked for leave with the teacher." Kunikida Doppo said very honestly.

Because there is an editor behind him who is really staring at his code words, this feeling is quite unpleasant, Oda Sakunosuke only feels an invisible strong pressure that has been covering himself.

Terrible, is this the power of editing?

Oda Sakunosuke quickly turned over all his previous manuscripts, read them carefully, and then regained the motivation to continue writing.

On the other side, Osamu Dazai, who was copying his own novel, looked up at them and couldn't help laughing.

Relying on this impromptu action, Editor Mizushima finally left with all the manuscripts satisfied.

Oda Sakunosuke immediately fell down, the pressure from the editor was really strong, and he felt like his hands were almost useless.

Before Oda Sakunosuke could think of some philosophy of life, a smell of curry came in.He raised his head suddenly, and saw a large bowl of fragrant red curry in front of him.

"Ah, it's time for lunch." He said subconsciously.

Yukichi Maomao put the dinner plate in front of him, walked to the table beside him, and pushed Osamu Dazai who had fallen asleep on the table.

"Ah, has Editor Mizushima left yet?" Osamu Dazai, who didn't know if he was really asleep or fake, yawned and asked.

"Mr. Editor has left." Oda Sakunosuke still had no expression on his face, and his tone did not fluctuate, but Osamu Dazai could feel the feeling of escaping death from his words.

"Mr. Oda, are you so busy in another world?" Kunikida Doppo asked a little surprised, obviously in his memory, Oda Sakunosuke is a very reliable senior, although he often sees him I am rushing to draft, but this is the first time that an editor has chased me to ask for a manuscript.

"Don't believe him..." Nakahara Chuya resolutely dismantled the situation, "Looking at Dazai, you can tell that they are definitely not busy in another world, it's just that he didn't start writing."

"But obviously before..." Kunikida Doppo couldn't believe it.

"It was in the past that editors would start urging several days in advance before the draft could be finalized." Nakahara Nakahara also recalled some things Akutagawa Ryunosuke said to himself, and continued to tear down the stage.

Although Oda Sakunosuke over there couldn't see anything wrong on his face, Osamu Dazai could feel it. At this time, he was about to become a stone statue.

"Hey Dazai, when I look back, I remember that I went to sell my vacation. The president directly hired you for a month, and I almost dropped out of school." Nakahara looked at him and raised his eyebrows and said.

"I see, thank you, President." Osamu Dazai nodded indiscriminately, and began to bury his head in eating, "It's still delicious at home, well, although the dishes cooked by Mr. Yukichi are also eaten outside, but it really is Eating at home is still different from eating out.”

"Speaking of which, where did you go? You have lost contact for so long." Yosano Akiko asked curiously, resting her cheeks.

"Let's talk about it together when the president and Mr. Ranpo come back from the meeting." Dazai Osamu raised his hand and clamped the chopsticks in his hand, "In short, we have gone to a pretty amazing place. Except for the president, Those boys also want to know, right?"

"It's terrible." Yosano Akiko took the eel rice handed over by Yuji Big Cat, and said with some helplessness, "Something terrible happened here too."

"The Blue King and Scepter4, right? I already asked Zhou Fang yesterday." Osamu Dazai put down the crab rice bowl in his hand, "Should today's meeting also be related to this?"

"Yeah, since last week, the president has been invited to various meetings." Akiko Yosano sighed, "Obviously most of the meetings are talking nonsense, and because Mr. Yukichi is not here, Every morning I have to get up early to help the president make up, it's so annoying."

"But why did Mr. Ranpo go with you today?" Osamu Dazai asked curiously.

"Today is the case conference. There was a very bad case in Tokyo, so the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department invited Mr. Ranpo and the president as consultants." Kunikida Doppo glanced at the content recorded in his account Said.

"Tokyo is still as chaotic as ever." Osamu Dazai couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Speaking of which, the world before us was miserable, without even heaven and hell."

"Nothing?" Accompanied by a certain voice, a man they were all familiar with appeared at the gate of the detective agency that was not closed.

"Mr. Ghost Lantern?" A few people were surprised to find that the ghost lantern in front of them was not wearing the black physalis-patterned kimono that they always wear on weekdays, but was wearing a very well-regarded real-world clothing, and even wore a hat on his head to cover his forehead. ghost horns.

"It's me. Today is the time for me to inspect the present world. I heard that the big cat has returned, so I stopped by to have a look." Ghost Lantern said and walked in, grabbed the big cat's pad and pinched it, " Dazai, what did you just say, where is there anything?"

"Huh? That world doesn't even have heaven and hell?" Edogawa Ranpo, who came back with Fukuzawa Yukichi, opened his eyes in disbelief, revealing the sharp color in them.

"That's right, so the negative emotions of people in that world can form entities." Osamu Dazai couldn't help complaining, "I didn't even know that negative emotions would be such an ugly thing after they became entities. If I was born in That world will definitely die early in despair."

Yukichi Maomao couldn't help stretching out its paws, and gently rubbed Dazai's head, as if to comfort him.

Normally speaking, Oda Sakunosuke, who would have dissuaded Osamu Dazai at this time, looked at him, but showed a rare and subtle expression.

That look was fleeting, but it was captured by Edogawa Ranpo very accurately, and Edogawa Ranpo suddenly showed an expression full of interest.
