cat blues

The fresh crab gravy that was newly launched in September was fresh and delicious. Osamu Dazai was so happy to eat it. Before he finished his meal of crabs, he was thinking about tomorrow's.

"Tomorrow, I'm going to go shopping at the seafood market with you, Mr. Yukichi." Osamu Dazai decisively stretched his hand over Yukichi's cat's pad, and said seriously.

"Shut up, we're going on a business trip to Nagasaki Prefecture tomorrow, and we won't be able to come back until evening. What kind of seafood market are we going to!" Kunikida Doppo mercilessly reached out and grabbed his back collar, pulling him back past.

"Hey hey hey." Dazai Osamu made a series of reluctant voices one after another.

"Shut up! Being your partner was not in my original plan!" Kunikida Doppo only felt regretful, why did he agree to Oda Sakunosuke's request to be Dazai Osamu on this business trip? Wouldn't it be enough to have Oda and Nakahara as partners with Osamu Dazai as his partner?

"Hey hey..." Osamu Dazai shook his arms very proudly, shaking his hands like seaweed.

"I'll leave it to you, Dazai." Oda Sakunosuke said apologetically. Tomorrow, the Iwanami Bookstore in Tokyo has something to entrust to the detective agency. Many people in the detective agency have contributed articles there. Naturally, the editor of the Iwanami Bookstore is a bit respectful.Even if the detective agency was the one that was entrusted this time, instead of the one that was chased before, they didn't want to deal with the editor very much.

In the end, only Sakunosuke Oda had a good temper and was willing to go to Tokyo with the president.

Nakahara Chuya also has other jobs tomorrow, so Dazai Osamu, who has both partners, was pushed to Kunikida Doppo.

Ah, "push" doesn't seem like the right word to use, but that's fine.

Osamu Dazai smiled smugly, before the other party really got angry, he ran behind Yukichi big cat.

"Mr. Yukichi, buy me crabs tomorrow too." Dazai Osamu ran to Yukichi Maomao with a straight face. He was obviously a 20-year-old man, but he still acted like a jk. Kunikida Doppo felt a chill while watching.

Big Cat Yukichi thought about it, anyway, he made an appointment tomorrow to bring that little girl to pick seafood together, so let’s buy some more by the way, but crabs are cold in nature, so you can’t eat more, so even if Osamu Dazai wants to eat more I can only make it for him the day after tomorrow.

After receiving Yukichi Maomao's affirmative response, Osamu Dazai jumped away happily.

Edogawa Ranpo narrowed his eyes slightly, he suddenly turned his head and said to Nakajima Atsushi: "Aton, don't go to that school with Xiaoyin tomorrow, go to the seafood market with Mr. Yukichi after school , I will definitely buy a lot of things tomorrow, remember to invite people back for dinner."

"Ah good..." Atsushi Nakajima responded and suddenly realized that something was wrong, asking him to come back for dinner?

Several people who heard this were taken aback, and Dazai Osamu's eyes lit up even more. When he looked at Yukichi Maomao, he felt like he was looking at a treasure. He looked curiously at Yukichi Big Cat from left to right, " Mr. Ranpo, Mr. Ranpo, if you go to the north, remember to ask the president to bring Mr. Yukichi!"

Edogawa Ranpo nodded, "I think it is possible!"

Yuji Big Cat and the others were all confused, unable to figure out what kind of riddle these two people were playing.

Anyway, on the second day, the big cat Yuji saw that the time was almost up, so he planned to set off for the seafood market. It first went to the entrance of Haichang High School and met Atsushi Nakajima, and then the two went to the market together.

"Ah, here and here." Naomi Tanizaki saw the super tall man at a glance. Although the expression on his face was a bit dull, he was indeed a good person and would take the initiative to help choose delicious food. , and will take the initiative to help her carry things because she sees that she is a little girl.

Such good people are rare.

Tanizaki Naomi thought of the person yesterday who realized that her behavior seemed to be a bit bad, and then she was so startled that she almost jumped up, and she couldn't help but wanted to laugh.

Junichiro Tanizaki looked at the two people who came over, but he was stunned. The boy was wearing the uniform of Kaicho High School, right?

"Hi, I'm Atsushi Nakajima." Atsushi Nakajima looked at the two siblings who appeared in front of him, and took the initiative to say hello, "I'm here to help Mr. Yuji carry his bag today."

"Pfft..." Tanizaki Naomi also laughed when she heard the boy's straightforward words, "Hi, I'm Tanizaki Naomi, this is my brother Tanizaki Junichiro, is Yukichi the name of this tall gentleman? What a nice name."

Hearing the other party's introduction, Atsushi Nakajima was startled. He never thought that the person who ran to look for the person he didn't find yesterday would appear in front of him today.Naturally, Atsushi Nakajima does not have any photos of them. Junichiro Tanizaki is not a famous figure in school, so how could there be photos leaked out? Atsushi Nakajima and Gin Akutagawa are in his class. asked.

"Hello, I'm Junichiro Tanizaki." The blond-haired boy said with some embarrassment. He didn't seem to be very good at communicating with people. The hairpin was fixed, revealing the handsome and bullying face underneath.

Nakajima Atsushi suddenly looked at him curiously. Nakahara Chuya’s records didn’t describe much information about this person, so he wrote that his special ability was called “Xi Xue”, but he didn’t mention the specific ability. Junichiro Tanizaki from another world didn't quite trust Mr. Chuya, so he didn't tell him why.

The big cat Yuji simply didn't understand why Atsushi Nakajima had a shocked expression on his face just now. He didn't participate in the recruiting meeting in the detective agency, so he didn't know that the new recruits that the detective agency planned to recruit recently were the brothers and sisters.

But seeing Atsushi Nakajima quickly regain control of his expression, Yukichi Maomao looked at the time and felt that it was not too early, so he simply led a group of people into the market directly.

Seeing Yuji big cat walk into the seafood market, the three young men who followed the big cat looked at each other and quickly followed.

Seeing Yukichi Maomao skillfully picking seafood one after another, Naomi Tanizaki can still learn a little bit from the past, Junichiro Tanizaki was really stunned, he looked at his sister and this non-talking It was strange that the tall guy was shopping together, but he couldn't find a suitable insertion point when he wanted to strike up a conversation several times, so he could only speak weakly to Atsushi Nakajima beside him.

"That... your uniform, you are a student of Kaicho High School, right?" Tanizaki Junichiro asked curiously, "The deviation value of Kaicho High School should be pretty good, right?"

"Well, the deviation value of our school is quite high." Atsushi Nakajima glanced at the people around him, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Haichang High School allows students to work part-time."

"Yes, yes, this is Yokohama after all." Tanizaki Junichiro also stammered.

"You ask me like this, is it because you intend to transfer to our school?" Atsushi Nakajima joked with a smile.

"I can't do it." Tanizaki Junichiro said helplessly, "My grades are too average, and my mind is not very good. No matter how hard I try, it will be a bit difficult to pass the transfer exam, and..."

He said, looking at his younger sister with unusually gentle eyes, "Naomi is different from me, her grades are very good, so if possible, I hope she can go to Haichang University in the future."

"As a senior, I am very welcome." Atsushi Nakajima said with a smile, "Don't worry, the atmosphere in our school is still very good, and there are no campus bullying incidents."

"That's really great." Tanizaki Junichiro said with a sigh of relief, "Ah, Naomi, what are you looking at, stop it!"

Seeing Tanizaki Naomi looking curiously into the geoduck tank, Tanizaki Junichiro rushed forward to stop it.

"Hey, how come there are geoducks now?" Atsushi Nakajima leaned over to look curiously. Although geoducks are delicate in shape, they are indeed high-end seafood. Generally speaking, they will be eaten early in the morning. It was sold out.

"I can't help it. There is a problem with the hotel I made an appointment to see the goods in the morning, and the whole batch of goods will not be accepted." The owner of the aquatic product shop said with an uneasy expression, "This large box was imported from Canada. Those who came over, these are the only ones left, if you want, pack them up and take them away.”

Yuji Big Cat took out his wallet without hesitation.

After choosing all kinds of seafood, Yukichi the big cat went to buy a lot of crabs, and planned to make crab pot tomorrow for Osamu Dazai who always wanted to eat crabs.

"Let me get it." Atsushi Nakajima quickly took the heavy bag of aquatic products, then turned and said to the Tanizaki brothers and sisters, "By the way, you two, do you want to come to our place for dinner today?"

He said, scratching his head with some embarrassment, "You should live alone, right? If that's the case, would you like to come to our place for dinner? And Mr. Yuji's cooking is super delicious."

Tanizaki Junichiro hesitated for a moment, but Tanizaki Naomi nodded without hesitation, "Okay, and, Mr. Yukichi, can you teach me how to cook fish? I finally bought such fresh seafood yesterday, and finally made it But it doesn’t taste good, and we are helpless.”

"Naomi?" Tanizaki Junichiro looked at his sister in surprise.

Tanizaki Junichiro has always been very clear that although Tanizaki Naomi is his sister and not a person with supernatural powers, she has far more vision and opinions than himself. It is always difficult for him to judge things, but in Naomi's eyes, he can easily see them. clear.And unlike her personality, which is always prone to worrying about gains and losses, Naomi has a strong ability to act, and once she makes up her mind, she will do it quickly.Just like before, she judged that the gentleman named "Yukichi" was a good person, and then she immediately took action.It seems that now, the two brothers and sisters are actually not relatives at all. Atsushi Nakajima, who met for the first time today, proposed an invitation, but Naomi Tanizaki immediately agreed.

This is something that he is far behind. While Tanizaki Junichiro is pleased with his sister's strength and intelligence, he also often feels that his brother is not doing enough.

"So why did you agree to their invitation?" Junichiro Tanizaki finally couldn't help but grabbed the corner of the other party's clothes, "Although I don't think they want to do anything to us, it's still weird, right? "

"It's not surprising." Tanizaki Naomi said with a smile, "And brother, you really didn't find out."

"F, what did you find?" Tanizaki Junichiro asked with some doubts.

"The person Nakajima-san really cares about is you, brother." Tanizaki Naomi said with a smile.

"Huh? Me?" Tanizaki Junichiro was a little strange, "What I say is nothing at all..." He suddenly realized his identity as a person with supernatural powers, but he had never revealed himself in front of other students in the same school. For the matter of a person with supernatural powers, and he has never done anything illegal or disciplined, how would the other party know that he is a person with supernatural abilities?

Mo, could it be...

"That's why I said brother, you are too nervous, I think Nakajima-kun and the others are kind." Tanizaki Naomi said with a smile, "And, I think that "couldn't be true" is very likely to be true. "

"Naomi, what are you talking about..." Tanizaki Junichiro couldn't help muttering.

""Stand-in messengers will attract each other." " Naomi Tanizaki put on a very typical Kujo Jotaro pose, and said the famous lines in Jojo in a serious manner.

"Hey?!" Realizing that his sister had guessed his second thought of "whether people with different abilities are attracted to each other", Junichiro Tanizaki blushed so much that he could almost bleed.

"Hee hee, brother is real." Tanizaki Naomi smiled and began to fight with her brother. During the fight, the two of them formed their own unique aura, which made it impossible for people to intervene in it, and felt that even if it was just disturbing To see them look at each other is a guilty feeling.

Yukichi Maomao recalled what Edogawa Ranpo told them yesterday, and invited the guests they met today to eat at home or something.Edogawa Ranpo will guess that the big cat met a guest yesterday, and it is not surprising that it will continue to encounter things today. Maomao has always thought that Edogawa Ranpo may have the eyes of the sky, so it is so magical.

Big Cat also knows that Edogawa Ranpo has no supernatural ability, but in view of the magical ability of Edogawa Ranpo, Big Cat refused to believe it at the beginning. After all, there are so many and complicated abilities in this world. Maybe it's not "super reasoning", but other things, such as clairvoyance, future vision, etc., it's not good!

Until Osamu Dazai used his "disqualification in the world" to thoroughly prove that Edogawa Ranpo is really just an ordinary person, without supernatural powers, superpowers, or celestial eyes.Yukichi Tomomi trusted Edogawa Ranpo even more.

Edogawa Ranpo said to take them back, so take them back. The Tanizaki brothers and sisters who can make Detective Ranpo come to such a conclusion are definitely not bad people.

But why bring people back?Yuji Maomao still looked puzzled at Atsushi Nakajima, who was carrying many heavy objects in both hands but did not appear flustered at all.

"Actually, Mr. Junichiro Tanizaki is a newcomer recommended by Senior Chuya." Atsushi Nakajima said carefully to the big cat.

The beard around Yukichi's mouth curled up, and then he continued to look at Atsushi Nakajima as if confirming it.

"It's true." Atsushi Nakajima nodded seriously.

Only then did Yuji Damao show a surprised expression. Yuji Maomao knew very well that his Zhongyuanzhong was a super serious and responsible person, so he would recommend newcomers to join the club, and he was still a newcomer at such an age .

It seems that it is indeed necessary to carefully prepare a big meal to welcome these two young people.

Although it is not yet confirmed whether the other party will stay in the Armed Detective Agency, and whether the other party can pass Fukuzawa Yukichi's entrance examination, Yukichi Big Cat also decided to show his own craftsmanship, and must make newcomers feel like home good feeling!

Thinking of this, Yukichi Tomako boldly led the young boy and girl into the building where the armed detective agency was located.

"Wait, wait a minute?" Tanizaki Junichiro felt that something was wrong, and when he came back to his senses, he clearly saw a brass-colored metal door plate hanging on the door in front of him. The metal door plate There are five small characters written in very clear pen and ink, "Armed Detective Agency."

Armed Detective Agency!This is a well-known detective group in Yokohama. Although there are rumors that the Armed Detective Agency is a group with supernatural abilities that only accepts people with supernatural abilities, Junichiro Tanizaki is not clear about the details.But as an old Yokohama native, how could he not know this place?The popularity of this place has been continuously improved in news broadcasts again and again, and now, Yokohama is already a household name.

This time, not only Junichiro Tanizaki was surprised, but Naomi Tanizaki was also very surprised. The two brothers and sisters looked at each other, hesitant to go in, and just now Atsushi Nakajima was still wearing the uniform of Kaishu High School, right?So he is also a member of the Armed Detective Agency?

The two brothers and sisters were very surprised, because many of the commissions of the armed detective agency were related to the government, and in order to protect the pillar of the detective agency, the legendary super famous detective Edogawa Ranpo, so For a long time, the reports on this detective agency in the news have basically only text but no pictures.

But even so, the names of Armed Detective Agency and Edogawa Ranpo often appear in every corner of the news section.

"What are you doing at the door, please come in." After pushing the door open, Atsushi Nakajima greeted the two of them.

"Ah, ok, ok..." Junichiro Tanizaki swallowed forcefully, neither of them doubted whether this was a fake armed detective agency, after all, with their meager wealth, there was no need for others to spend such money The great strength and heavy blood poured out originally deceived them.

Naomi Tanizaki also took a deep breath before saying loudly, "Hi everyone, excuse me."

"Hi, excuse me!" Tanizaki Junichiro followed quickly.

"Ah, I'm back." A somewhat erratic voice came from the front of the entire office. The two brothers and sisters curiously walked around the unoccupied reception area and saw a separate office sitting by the window. Behind the desk, a boy-like black-haired man in a detective suit put down his mobile phone and looked towards them, "Mr. Yuji, are these two?"

Yuji Maomao walked over and skillfully put away several randomly opened snack packaging bags on the other party's table, and then nodded to him.

"Well, it doesn't look very smart." The detective shook his head, and said enough to describe 90.00% of the people in this world, "In short, welcome to the Armed Detective Agency. "

"Yes, yes..." Tanizaki Junichiro was still a little depressed when he heard the first half of the sentence, but he cheered up and nodded after hearing the second half.

"Don't worry about the evaluation just now." Behind the long desks in the office, a woman in a white shirt and a metal butterfly hairpin raised her head and said to them with a smile, "For Mr. Ranpo, this The vast majority of people in the world are stupid."

"It doesn't matter, anyway, Lord Ranpo will protect you." Edogawa Ranpo, who looked like a young man, said confidently, and he jumped off the chair after speaking, "You come with Lord Ranpo Let's go see the president."

"Huh?" Why did he suddenly fast-forward to the point where he was going to meet the president of the Armed Detective Agency?Is there any connection between them?

"You also need a stable enough income channel now, don't you?" Edogawa Ranpo judged at a glance that the brother and sister in front of him were about to face the end of the mountain, but even so, the older brother Junichiro Tanizaki It's good that they have never used their brains, no wonder the armed detective society in another world recruited them as members, Edogawa Ranpo nodded in satisfaction, and beckoned the two of them to follow.

"Yes, yes..." The two who walked forward quickly followed Edogawa to the president's office.

"How, do you think they can pass?" Yosano Akiko asked curiously.

"There shouldn't be a formal entrance test right now. The president should just ask them about their intentions and arrange part-time jobs for them, right?" Nakajima Atsushi said persuasively.

"That's right, just before the entrance test, let's see how their character is." Yosano Akiko had a strange smile on her face.

The big cat Yuji who was on the side was startled when she saw it, and ran over to pat her face lightly with a soft meat pad. She wanted to remind her not to scare the newcomers, but the cat's claws hadn't had time yet. Taking it back, Yosano Akiko grabbed it neatly and rubbed it hard a few times.

Yuji Maomao didn't mind either, so he just hugged him and let him rub against his arms for a while before letting go.

"The others don't seem to be back yet, Mr. Yukichi, let's cook first." Atsushi Nakajima said with a smile.

At this moment, Sakunosuke Oda came out of the president's office, and Atsushi Nakajima suddenly asked curiously: "Mr. Oda, did you see the two people just now?"

"Hmm..." Oda Sakunosuke nodded. He was also the one who traveled to another parallel world with the cat. When he saw the curious eyes of Nakajima Atsuka and Yosano Akiko, he took the initiative to say, "In another parallel world When the future of a world sees them, the clothes they wear are different from what they are now, but other things are similar, ah, and their height is a little shorter now."

"But Mr. Yukichi doesn't seem to be very familiar with them?" Yosano Akiko looked over curiously.

Yuji the big cat nodded helplessly. The big cat spent most of his time in hell in the other world. After coming out, there was a burst of chaos, and then they were sent back. At that time, most of the cat's attention was on the ghost lamp. Why would you pay attention to strangers you don't know in the Armed Detective Agency?It's a strange world where even Chuya and Ryunosuke have gone to the underworld!
