At the end of September, the cultural festival of Haichang University began. As one of the most lively scenes during the student days, the cultural festival naturally made a group of young people have a good time.

However, neither Yukichi Maomao nor anyone else went, only Akutagawa Ryunosuke went for the sake of his sister and Nakajima Atsushi.

In fact, compared to many years ago when Nakahara Chuya and the others were still in high school—even the cultural festival was deserted at that time, and only the relatives and friends of the students would participate—the current Haichang Cultural Festival is already very lively. But compared to the university cultural festivals, especially the university cultural festivals in Tokyo, there are things like the eve festival and the after night festival that will never appear in Yokohama.

So the cultural festival in high school, for them who have already seen the big scene, is indeed a bit childish, especially after that, it won't take too long, the Togetsu Academy and the Yueshang Festival sound like campus culture In fact, it is a large-scale food festival to be held, and all members of the Armed Detective Agency have received invitation letters from Yuanyue Academy—all sent by the student chefs of venue a in the autumn selection competition. Oda Sakunosuke, because he was worried that he would not come, everyone sent him several tickets, hoping to get rid of the humiliation at this Tsukiyō Festival, and let the other party willingly say "delicious" "These two words come.

Oda Sakunosuke got so many tickets that the whole detective agency, including the clerks, got a ticket, and they could still take out the tickets and send them to the orphanage and Iwanami Bookstore. A type of "good" popularity, right?

Because of these reasons, Kai Chang's cultural festival really did not cause any disturbance in the Armed Detective Agency, but Nakajima Atsushi and Akutagawa Gin still had a good time, and Kise Ryota did the same. Li almost didn't play crazy, and finally calmed down after being beaten by Yukio Kasamatsu, the head of the basketball department.

After the school festival, the school trip was finally restarted after many years. The destination of the school trip was very traditional Kyoto. The students born and bred in Yokohama were so excited, but it was more difficult for the students from the surrounding cities to understand. Kawasaki and The ones from Yokosuka understand a little bit, but the ones from Tokyo don't understand at all.

Yes, it's Ryota Kise, who doesn't understand why the students around are so excited, isn't it just a school trip?He had been to Kyoto during Teiko's time.

"Then why don't you just stay and practice with us!" Kasamatsu Yukio was very displeased with his understatement. The school trips of the first, second and third grades were staggered. When the first grade went to Kyoto to play, the basketball club The second and third graders are still practicing hard in school.

"Forget it then." Kise Ryota resolutely refused, he didn't want to stay and play basketball with the seniors.

"But in fact, it's no fun to go to Kyoto now. Many historical sites in Kyoto had problems of various sizes due to poor maintenance before, and now there are only a few that have been repaired." Atsushi Nakajima turned his head and gave him a A huge blow, "Kise-kun, don't you even read the news?"

"Hey? What? There is such a thing!?" Kise Ryo was too shocked, and immediately took out his mobile phone to check. After searching for a while, he finally found out about the cultural and historic sites in Kyoto due to poor preservation and natural disasters. Man-made disasters eventually led to serious problems in most of the places of interest. Erjo Castle was even smashed into ruins by thunder and fire. It is still in ruins until now, and the places of interest that are in better condition have just been renovated. At present, Kiyomizu Temple, Kinkakuji Temple and Fushimi Inari Shrine have just been allowed to open. Other places such as Ginkakuji Temple, Kyoto Imperial Palace, Kitano Tenmangu and other places are still under maintenance.

There are still a lot of words on the Internet about the city government of Yanshang. Among other things, the fact that a Nijo city has not been built until now is enough to make netizens angry.

Seeing these things, Kise Ryota, who usually doesn't care about current affairs news at all, was shocked that such a thing still exists! ?There are so many places of interest and historical sites that have big and small problems, so what else can we go to in this capital?

"Isn't Kiyomizu Temple open? You can see the red leaves, and there are Kinkakuji Temple and Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine. These two places are also super famous." Other students in the same class were very open, "And that Isn’t Gion next to it okay? I’m going to see a geisha there! Hehehe…”

As he was talking, a smile full of "you understand" appeared on the boy's face, causing the girls in the same class on one side to look disgusted, while the boys on the other side showed similar expressions Come.

"But you may not be able to enjoy the performance of geisha." Atsushi Nakajima said, he randomly searched for a video of geisha performance, and the boys listened to the slow-paced shamisen coming from his mobile phone The music played with the shakuhachi, and then watching the very typical geisha makeup painted on the screen, the skin on the face and neck is painted as white as the wall, the lips are painted bright red, wearing a plain kimono, dancing slowly Tun's dance, all the boys who were full of curiosity and longing for the big sister represented by the profession of "geisha" suddenly fell silent.

In an instant, the boys in the class seemed to have abandoned their worldly desires, returned to their respective positions, and actually started to honestly flip through their textbooks.

"Ah, that, this..." Seeing that everyone seems to have lost interest in going to Kyoto, Atsushi Nakajima suddenly became a little flustered. His original intention was not this, why did it become like this.

"Nakajima-kun don't worry about them." The girl beside him patted him on the shoulder lightly, "You didn't do anything wrong, so there's no need to feel a headache about their reaction!"

Atsushi Nakajima's unintentional move made Ryota Kise start thinking about whether to go to Kyoto for a school trip, and his hesitation was kicked away by Yukio Kasamatsu.

"Shut up you bastard, it's a rare group activity, just follow everyone honestly!" Kasamatsu Yukio kicked him hard, "Going out this time is fun, after playing, I will prepare for the mid-term After the exam, you will be fully preparing for the Winter Cup, you know?"

"Yes!" Kise Ryota immediately straightened his back and said loudly.

The troubles of the teenagers here are easy to solve, and the Armed Detective Agency on the other side has also completed the previous commission from the Iwanami Bookstore.

The content of the commission is actually very simple, that is, an editor of Yanbo Bookstore found that an author directly under him suddenly disappeared. After all, the headquarters of the bookstore is in Tokyo, and the author is also from Tokyo, and Tokyo, sorry, lives as a group of royals The city's overall crime rate is not much lower than that of Yokohama next door!

Of course, this speaks to the current situation, not many years ago.

Generally speaking, the city of Tokyo is not safe at all, and places such as Kuboto-cho and Mika-cho in the urban area of ​​Tokyo are areas with high incidence of murders. I'm not leaving.But the author this time is very unfortunate. In order to follow his idol Yusaku Kudo, he moved directly to Mihua Town.

The loss of contact frightened the editor, and he quickly contacted the Armed Detective Agency in Yokohama—who made many members of this detective agency still contribute articles to them, who were both detectives and authors—and wanted to report this author Find out in time.

So Ranpo Edogawa took a trip to Mihua Town in Tokyo, and found the author of the disappearance case that he directed and acted in within minutes.

Yes, the author was not kidnapped at all and nothing happened. The reason why he lost contact was purely because he found out that he had reached the deadline for the manuscript, but he still had no way to write the manuscript, and his leave balance had been cancelled. After using it up, facing the editor who might come to the door at any time, this person simply turned off his phone and then hid himself. He also knew that he couldn't hide it for a lifetime, but at this time he couldn't care less , Let's get through this wave first!

It has been said before that Yanbo Bookstore has very strict requirements for serial authors. They do not allow authors to write casually, nor do they allow authors to interrupt updates easily, so that even the number of times of leave is limited. , if the author really encounters something very troublesome, they are even willing to send an editor to help solve it.

It is precisely because of their professional dedication that the pure literature under Yanbo Bookstore still maintains a very strong vitality in a barren and withered world.

It is this vitality that is quite scary for authors who like to procrastinate and coo.

After this unlucky author was caught, he was taken to the small black room specially prepared by Yanbo Bookstore for draft authors to catch up on drafts. The small black room only had paper and pens and a computer that could do nothing but code words. Computers, if you want information, the editor at the door is willing to help them find it.

Seeing the author disappear into the small dark room crying and shouting, all the members of the detective agency felt a chill down their spines, so that when they returned to Yokohama, they all consciously took out their previous manuscripts and documents, and started Write silently.

Seeing this, Yuji Maomao felt very relieved, and it specially prepared a lot of snacks and various things to replenish their brain power for them to eat when they were rushing to write.

Their state of rushing to draft has lasted for several days. In the past few days, Yosano Akiko and Kunikida Doppo couldn't help being amazed that this group of people would be so honest, even that Dazai was there The rush to draft is incredible.

Yuji Maomao discovered another thing, that is, when the members of the detective agency were struggling to catch up with the draft, Miss Haruno's three-flowered cat Xiaomi unexpectedly ran away from the detective agency.

Because of Dazai's confirmation, Yuji Maomao also knows that Sanhuamao must be a cat that can run very well. Usually, I often see it lazily basking in the sun in the cat's nest one second before, and the next second The cat just disappeared.But no matter what, the Sanhua cat Xiaomi still likes the fresh cat rice and dried fish that he made himself, so Xiaomi will always appear near the cat food bowl on time during the three meals.

But ever since they turned on the rush mode, Xiao Mi was scared and ran away as if she had put a cucumber behind her. , and every morning from the state of the cat's nest to confirm whether Xiaomi has come back at night, I'm afraid it will think that Xiaomi has escaped.

It's really strange, why Xiao Mi would run away at this time, Xiao Mi doesn't have to rush the draft.

Yuji Maomao was cooking cat rice in a daze, unable to figure this out.

"Ah, it's finally finished!!!" Osamu Dazai threw his manuscript paper into the air almost weeping with joy, and then in desperation he picked up all the manuscript papers that flew away, one by one tidy up.

"When Aden and the others come back from their school trip, let's go to Yuanyue to participate in the Yueyue Festival together." Oda Sakunosuke had almost finished writing, he packed up the manuscript, and raised his head to ask a few people.

"Go!" Edogawa Ranpo said first, he had been very interested in Yuanyue's school a long time ago, especially the proprietress in the whirlpool below said that Yuanyue had a special dessert club, if it wasn't for the last time The topic of the autumn selection was curry, and Ranpo Edogawa wanted to steal his identity as a judge.

As for the Moon Festival, it is an annual carnival, and it is a grand festival that everyone who loves food must go to.

Edogawa Ranpo has already decided that he must have a good time at the Moon Festival this time, and no one can stop him!

Hearing that he was going to a large-scale gourmet event like the Tsukiyō Festival, Atsushi Nakajima directly asked a few of his friends. Kise Ryota said with tears in his eyes that although he received tickets for the Tsukiyō Festival, unfortunately, He was unanimously asked by his sister and seniors not to eat indiscriminately during the recent period.

On the one hand, it was because he was going to take a new photo. His manager and his sister, Ryoko Kise, asked him to absolutely ensure a good figure and a good body fat percentage during this period of time to facilitate the photoshoot.On the other hand, as preparation for the Winter Cup, Kasamatsu Yukio didn't want to see his ace eating fat outside for no reason, so even though it was such a famous festival, he even got a ticket, but he couldn't go.

Kise Ryota could only watch with tears in his eyes as his good friend quickly threw himself away after hearing that he couldn't go, and ran to call to make an appointment with Heizi Tetsuya, and it was right in front of him!

Kise Ryota burst into tears.

"Thank you very much Nakajima-kun for your invitation." On the day of the Moon Festival, Hei Zizhe and Vulcan Taiga came, and after the two met Atsushi Nakajima, Hei Zizhe also took the lead in bowing to him to express his gratitude.

"Well, thank you very much for your invitation." Vulcan and I hurriedly followed.

"It's okay, we got a lot of tickets, so we invite you to come." Atsushi Nakajima said with a smile, "Everyone else in the club has already gone in, and we are the only ones left here."

Next to Atsushi Nakajima are the Akutagawa brothers and sisters. The Tanizaki brothers and sisters were also there, but Atsushi Nakajima persuaded them to go ahead.

Akutagawa Ginya smiled and greeted Heizi Zheya, "Heizi-kun, and this Vulcan-kun, let's go in together, there are already a lot of people."

"Hmm..." Kuroko Tetsu also nodded. When he looked at Ryunosuke Akutagawa over there, he was no longer as nervous as when he first saw him. This young man with a voice similar to his did not The appearance is so vicious, and he has a feeling that this should be a very good person.

"Okay!" In front of people he didn't know very well, Huo Shenda seemed a little cautious, but the strong aroma coming to him and the bustling crowd around him made him move his index finger subconsciously.

Every year, the Moon Festival is an absolute feast of food, not to mention the main venue of the college, which has the busiest avenue area, and even the Yuanyue Resort has opened up a considerable part of the area for students to open their restaurants and for diners.

"There are so many people." Osamu Dazai sighed while clutching the sleeve of Yukichi Tomo, who was also curious about what kind of festival the so-called Tsukiyō Festival was.

"Yes, so we must do a good job. We have separated from the president and the others." Oda Sakunosuke said in a calm voice. He actually invited Ango Sakaguchi, but Ango resolutely rejected him, saying that his recent I am very busy with work, so I don't have time to participate in this kind of festival activities where eating and drinking are the main tasks.

The Yueyue Festival really deserves to be a legendary gourmet festival. The number of tickets for tourists is limited every day, but even so, a large number of tourists seem to be squatting there early in the morning, just waiting for the Yuanyue Academy to open. People scrambled to rush in.

It was precisely because of this that the members of their armed detective agency were quickly dispersed by the flow of people.

"Tsk, it's a pity that the slug is not around." Dazai Osamu couldn't help but muttered, and while walking with the crowd, he said to Oda Sakunosuke, "Oda Saku, where are you going first?"

"Although the area at the entrance is also very good." Oda Sakunosuke felt that his whole body was like sardines in a can, and he was so crowded that he could hardly lift his hands, "But I still have to go inside first, thank you They send us so many tickets."

"Okay, okay, but wait a while, Odasaku, you can show a little... Forget it, let me give you the compliment." Osamu Dazai grabbed Yukichi big cat tightly, "Mr. Run around, we'll be there soon."

The central area has a large location and many snacks. There are hundreds of stalls selling all kinds of snacks along the way, and you can hardly find a few duplicates.

Yukichi Maomao stared at the freshwater fish behind a counter, wondering if this kind of food could really be eaten by humans, while Oda Sakunosuke looked at the spicy balls on the other side and was a little ready to move.

"Hey, I told you not to run around." Osamu Dazai, who was unexpectedly reliable at such a time, said, and walked forward with one person and one cat, "I have memorized the entire map here."

"I'm sorry Dazai." Oda Sakunosuke, who realized that he had done something wrong, apologized honestly, "But I'm still curious, how many students are there in Totsuki? Didn't it mean that the graduation rate of this school is only 10? It is said that the lower class often ask students to drop out of school or something."

"That's why I said that the Nakiri family behind the school must have something to do with the Ministry of Documents." Osamu Dazai wiped the sweat from his forehead. The sunshine at the end of October is not so poisonous, but it still makes people feel very hot." With this graduation rate, how did Yuanyue get the school qualification?"

He waved his hand again as he spoke, "I have also learned a little bit about the number of exhibitors. If the current students and a large number of repeat students add up, the number is quite amazing. What's more, there are more than Most of the stalls are from Yuanyue’s graduates who came back to participate in the carnival.”

"Dazai, you are amazing, you even know these things." Oda Sakunosuke praised calmly.

Yuji Maomao also applauded.

"Okay, let's go to Xinghei Chuangzhen first." Dazai Osamu said and led them towards Xinghei Chuangzhen's booth.

Xing Pingchuang was really the first one to invite Oda Sakunosuke. He even went to the seaside to find the free restaurant to try the exciting curry that Oda Sakunosuke felt delicious. Spicy curry, although I was suspicious of life by being spicy, I still found that although the curry in that shop was spicy, the spiciness blended well with the taste of the curry itself, and did not let the "curry" itself be too spicy. traits disappear.No wonder why Oda Sakunosuke likes that store so much.

He quickly developed a spicy curry with a similar taste, but this behavior is just a simple imitation. He wants to make a taste beyond that spicy curry, but he is currently at a loss.

This time he launched a flower-growing snack called pepper cake at the Moon Festival. Because of its characteristics, this kind of snack can actually add fillings to it arbitrarily, but to the surprise of Oda Sakunosuke, It was very strange that his pepper cake stand was empty and deserted.

No, it's actually not that strange. Oda Sakunosuke saw that there was a long queue at the entrance of a Sichuan restaurant just opposite Xinghei Chuangzhen.

"Hey, Mr. Dazai, Mr. Oda, long time no see." Xing Ping Chuangzhen greeted the two of them without showing any discouragement, and then he stared at the tall Yuji Maomao with emotion, "Wow, this yes……"

"This is Mr. Yukichi." Dazai Osamu introduced, "But you, why did you choose to open a stall in such a strange place? On purpose?"

"It was discovered so quickly, it really is Mr. Dazai." Xinghei Soma didn't deny it, nodded and said, "I want to challenge the one on the other side, he is one of the top ten, but unfortunately the other party is not willing to challenge me If the opportunity is so low, then we can only decide the outcome at the Yueshang Festival."

"Come on..." Dazai Osamu nodded to him, and then signaled Yuji to buy him pepper cakes.

"Oh, of course I will." Xing Ping Chuangzhen said optimistically. After giving two cakes to the opposite side, he still explained to them bluntly, "The opposite side is Senior Jiu Ga Teruki, who is the eighth seat of the Ten Elites. He Especially good at Chinese cuisine, the spicy flavor of Sichuan cuisine, so if Mr. Oda likes it, you can go to that restaurant to try.”

"Okay, thank you for the recommendation." Oda Sakunosuke said, the hair on his head could not help but move a little.

Yuji Maomao couldn't help but backed away a few steps in shock. The cat's nose can't stand pungent smells like pepper and pepper, which will make the cat sneeze continuously.
