When the sky is getting brighter, it is time to close the boards and rest for the bars that are bustling at night.The business in the store is not very good today. Before the official closing time, the store is already empty.

At such a time, Kusanagi Izumo certainly didn't want to receive any other guests, so he turned off the light on the signboard at the door and was about to close early.

But when he pushed open the door to put away the publicity board placed beside the door, he saw two figures, one tall and one short, turn into the alley, and hurriedly approached where he was—intuition told Kusanagi that Yun, the target of these two people is obviously this bar.

Although the face of the visitor could not be seen clearly against the light, Izumo Kusanagi was almost instinctively taken aback when the two figures came into view.

Even though his face became blurred under the light, at that moment, Kusanagi Izumo had determined the identity of the person who came.

"This is really..." Kusanagi Izumo murmured softly after stopping his hands.He didn't make the move to go down the steps to meet the two of them, but leaned against the railing of the door, and took out a cigarette from his pocket.

When the smoke billowed up, Kusanagi Izumo finally stood up straight again, and turned to look seriously at the two people who had already walked down the steps.

"I really didn't expect to meet in such a place." Holding the burning cigarette between two fingers, Kusanagi Izumo's emphasis with a strong Kyoto accent sounded quite relaxed, as if seeing a reunion after a long absence Like his friends, he greeted: "Respect."

"Ah." The red-haired man stopped and looked up at the blond man standing on the steps, holding a cigarette: "You are here."

"Yeah, I'm here too." Kusanagi Izumo responded.

His mood is much calmer than he imagined. After all, as Homra's "military adviser", Izumo Kusanagi can also remain calm in most situations, and at least the reunion itself is not completely unexpected to him. .

The only thing that surprised him was that the Red King, who appeared in this world for some unknown reason, would appear at Lupin's door with Oda Sakunosuke.

"It seems that the cooperation with Dazai is not too bad—" Kusanagi Izumo muttered to himself.

"Mr. Kusanagi." When Oda Sakunosuke spoke, his voice trembled a little rarely.

Although he looks like a child, Kusanagi Izumo also understands in his heart that the calm temperament of this guy in front of him must have gone through quite a long time of precipitation—and because of this, for this guy, ordinary emergencies He shouldn't have been so flustered at all.

"Did something happen?" Kusanagi Izumo frowned slightly: "Anyway, let's talk about it first. The store just closed, and there are no other customers."

It was only after entering the store that Kusanagi Izumo discovered that Oda Sakunosuke had wounds on his body.

He seemed to have missed a lot of important plots that night. The swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Squad who used supernatural powers attacked Sakunosuke Oda, and Osamu Dazai, who happened to pass by for rescue, suddenly disappeared in front of the two of them without warning——

"Dazai must have encountered some trouble." Oda Sakunosuke said worriedly: "I always feel a little worried."

"But if you want such a big person to disappear out of thin air, I'm afraid ordinary people with supernatural powers can't do such a thing, right?" Izumo Kusanagi leaned on the bar with both hands: "If it is a supernatural power, there should always be traces—"

"But if it's a supernatural power..." Oda Sakunosuke lowered his eyes, seemingly hesitant, but after a short thought, he still raised his head and said seriously: "It probably won't work on Dazai."

"After all, that guy's ability is to erase the effects of other abilities."

Of course, Oda Sakunosuke would not lie about the matter of Osamu Dazai, but in fact, it is an indisputable fact that Osamu Dazai disappeared under their noses.

"In other words, in order to accomplish this, you need to use the ability without touching his body...?" Kusanagi Izumo muttered.

"—If that's the case, why don't you ask Anna."

When Zhou Fangzun heard this name, the brows of Zhou Fangzun also trembled slightly, he looked at Kusanagi Izumo, although he didn't make a sound, his eyes clearly asked "Why is she here?"

"Well, I don't know the specific situation, anyway, there is nothing wrong with that guy in this place." Kusanagi Izumo shrugged: "Although I also thought about whether to take her over, but I am the only one here , I’m afraid I won’t be able to take care of her all the time during the investigation, so let her stay in a safer place for the time being.”

"I think she would be happy to see you, Madam." While saying this, Kusanagi Izumo picked up a coat from the hanger.

Tokyo in the early morning is not too noisy, except for some guys who go to work early and rush to make a living, the streets are almost empty.

Considering that Oda Sakunosuke had some wounds on his body, Kusanagi Izumo called two rickshaws for guests.

Seeing the surrounding scenery receding rapidly at the end of his eyes, Kusanagi Izumo felt that maybe he should tell Zhou Fangzun about their respective situations after parting, but he didn't know how to speak for a while.

He himself is not the type who is good at expressing emotions, and Zhou Fangzun is even more taciturn. Besides, the previous parting was a bit special—at least his reason told Kusanagi Izumo that Zhou Fangzun really died when he was on Academy Island.And the reason why he can see this person again now is probably the inexplicable preference bestowed by fate.

"What's the matter? Keep staring at me." Zhou Fangzun glanced sideways at Izumo Kusanagi, and there was also some unpredictable emotion in his gaze.

"It's nothing." Kusanagi Izumo turned his head and looked at the scenery outside again.

In fact, the reason for this may not need to be delved into.After all, in this world, he and Zhou Fangzun are actually people who "should not exist", and the reason why they appear here is probably the same.

Instead of asking why, it's better to think about what to do next.

The rickshaw soon stopped in front of the rather imposing mansion.

The maid Ms. Wen recognized Kusanagi Izumo as the person who sent the owner of this mansion, Mori Ogai, back here with Dazai Osamu, so she was very polite: "Are you here to see Mr. Mori? At this time , Mr. Sen may be a little..."

The clock was pointing at six o'clock, and a visit at this time would probably be unwelcome in most cases.

"I'm really sorry to bother you so early." Izumo Kusanagi had a kind smile on his face, "But I want to see Dr. Mori who lives here more than Mr. Mori, the owner here. And that kid."

"Kushina Anna."

"Then please come in." Miss Wen let the three into the living room after thinking for a while.

"So I must see what kind of guy it is!" Suddenly, a delicate girl's voice came from the direction of the door leading to the inner room, and there seemed to be inexplicable resentment in her tone: "It doesn't matter if you want to find Rin Taro Lah, why did you call Anna away together! Obviously Anna promised to play with me!"

As the sound approached, the blond girl in a red dress also appeared in front of the three of them.There was considerable dissatisfaction in the girl's sea-blue eyes. She pouted and looked at the three "uninvited guests" who called her playmates away with scrutiny.

When his eyes fell on Oda Sakunosuke, the little guy froze suddenly.

"Alice." Oda Sakunosuke's reaction was not that strong. He also just heard Kusanagi Izumo mention that his former boss, the leader of the port gang/hand/party, Mori Ogai and Dazai Osamu called "double Both Nakahara Chuya, the candidate for the cadre of "Black", are here, so it is not surprising that Alice, who is the materialization of Mori Ogai's ability, will appear here.

Osamu Dazai obviously knew about such a thing, but they hadn't had much communication recently, so Oda Sakunosuke felt that Dazai probably hadn't had time to mention it to him.

"Oh, this is really—" The slender middle-aged man soon appeared at the door, without much surprise on his face, he stared at the shrunken Oda Sakunosuke, and there seemed to be a smile in his eyes With a non-smiling expression: "Unexpected goodbye."

"Boss." Subconsciously, Oda Sakunosuke greeted Mori Ogai.

"Oda-kun will come here," Mori Ogai glanced at the two Akagumi sitting beside him, "Is there something wrong?"

"It's a little late to introduce myself. I'm really rude. I'm Mori Ogai, and I'm also a - superhuman."

"I met it once before, but I couldn't say hello properly." Izumo Kusanagi stood up: "Izumo Kusanagi is also a supernatural being. The one sitting over there is the king of our clan. He is giving us strength. people."

"Anna also belongs to our clan."

"Oh? That's really disrespectful." Mori Ogai nodded to Zhou Fangzun: "During this time, Alice-chan is thanks to the company of your young lady. Anyway, I should express my thanks to you. "

"Let's avoid the useless pleasantries." Zhou Fangzun raised his eyes and glanced at Mori Ogai casually, and when his eyes passed Mori Ogai's body, he fell on a quiet little girl standing not far behind. It seems to have softened a little.

"Respect?" The white-haired girl called softly. Although she didn't seem to be good at expressing her emotions, when she saw this person again, her voice inevitably revealed a little excitement.

"Anna." Zhou Fangzun responded.

"That..." Taking advantage of the brief silence in the air, Sakunosuke Oda finally broke the atmosphere of the reunion. Looking at the girl in the gothic dress, he asked, "So this is According to the legend, you can find Miss Anna where Dazai is, right?"

"Although it's a bit presumptuous, I would like to ask you for this matter anyway..."

"Oda-kun is still the same." Mori Ogai sighed.

Being able to stick to the topic in a serious manner in such an atmosphere is probably something only Sakunosuke Oda can do.

Oda Sakunosuke didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did.After all, if this matter is not very urgent, they don't need to run to other people's homes so early in the morning to seek help.

"I can't see it." When she moved the red glass beads away from her eyes, Anna's expression became a little depressed: "I can't see where that person is."

"Maybe it's because that guy's ability can erase my power, or maybe..."

"Because he is not in this world."

When hearing this reply, Oda Sakunosuke's mood sank suddenly.He didn't know what happened to Osamu Dazai, and none of the possibilities that Anna mentioned was what Oda Sakunosuke wanted to see.

Just when Oda Sakunosuke was worried but had nothing to do, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

"It seems to worry everyone—"

Accompanied by the soft light, a figure gradually formed in a corner of the living room where the sun could not reach.

"But it's a coincidence that everyone is here."

"It would be so much more convenient—"
