what's wrong with my vest

"No." Sakurai Yao finally said, "I have not been abandoned."

Obviously it was strongly denied, but Edogawa Ranpo's expression was much better than when he saw Sakurai Yoshio obediently and silently just now.

He sat down with a slam, folded his arms around his chest, and narrowed his eyes that were staring straight at Sakurai.

Judging from his actions, Edogawa Ranpo's mentality has indeed improved, but he still hasn't backed down... Although his tone has relaxed a lot, the content is still sharp as if it could pierce a person's skin: "No How do you explain those characteristics of you that I just mentioned?"

Sakurai Makoto, who was in sight, changed from the emptiness that seemed to have nothing to do with him, and there was a dangerous aura around him--this aura was not obvious, and Osamu Dazai and the others could tell that the other party didn't do it intentionally, so except for Dazai Aside from Jido's two glances at Sakurai, Atsushi Nakajima and Ranpo Edogawa didn't take the imposing manner that was soon under control to heart.

"I have not been abandoned." Sakurai Yo repeated firmly.

This was originally just a low-pitched muttering to himself, but when Edogawa Ranpo opened his mouth as if to continue to prove the correctness of his conclusion, Sakurai suddenly raised his voice and said sharply: "I have not been abandoned!"

He opened his eyes, and the strange red light appeared again.

Edogawa raised the corners of his mouth in disorder, this is what he wanted to see...

As if he didn't see the threat in the opponent's eyes, he pretended to continue to question.

At this time, Osamu Dazai, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly broke in.

"Okay, let's stop here." Dazai Osamu naturally put his shoulders on the shoulders of the people around him, and under the effect of "Disqualification in the World", the red light in Sakurai Yao's eyes faded instantly.

Sakurai Yoshi's gaze fell on the hand on his shoulder. Osamu Dazai didn't use any force. Sakurai Yoshi could easily avoid it by moving his body a little. His gaze stretched all the way along the man's arm, and finally came to Dazai Yao. Zhi smiled on his face.

Sakurai Yao stared at Osamu Dazai for two seconds, and found that the other party's smile was not stiff at all, and even had a tendency to smile wider and wider, then looked away, and the whole person stopped talking as if his phone was turned off.

It just so happened that he also needed to simply sort out his thoughts.

Because of the soaring progress of the task, the influence of "Contractor Ranpo" on Sakurai is deepening every moment. With the lack of emotion as a reference indicator that can be felt, Sakurai often makes some subconscious actions It was only later that I realized that "Edogawa Ranpo" had "come out" again.

The increase in the synchronization rate with "Contractor Ranpo" is not a bad thing. After all, this is not only conducive to the completion of the task, but also one of the strong proofs of the smooth progress of the task. However, as the first official task of "A1", Sakurai He always felt that things were not as simple as he imagined.

He worries that behind the rapid progress bar, there are more formidable challenges hidden.

When Sakurai was deep in thought, Osamu Dazai clapped his hands like a kindergarten teacher, trying to attract the attention of other people present: "Don't be so stiff when we meet for the first time, how about it, let's click the menu from beginning to end , and then choose what you like to eat first, and how about packing what you can’t finish and feeding it back to the dog.”

Atsushi Nakajima is a little nervous... He dare not answer questions about food now, for fear that the atmosphere that has just calmed down just now will be broken, so he quickly hinted: "Mr. Dazai, dogs can't eat these things." So don't hurry up Again.

"I just said that because I knew dogs couldn't eat it."

"...Then change the question, Mr. Dazai, do you have money?"

"Don't worry, I know it well." Saying that, Osamu Dazai took out a black card from his jacket pocket, and it was obviously not his own.

After some gags, the atmosphere at the scene eased up a lot. Although Osamu Dazai was still smiling, he was not as relaxed as he appeared in his heart.

There seems to be no problem with Mr. Ranpo's reasoning at present, and "Edogawa Ranpo" seems to have acquiesced to most of them. The only ambiguity that arises is... Whether "Edogawa Ranpo" was abandoned or not.

"Abandonment" may be true, but the understanding of this "abandonment" is very likely to be different from what they imagined.

Compared with the most literal sense, everyone in the Armed Detective Agency "don't" "Edogawa Ranpo", in fact, there is another way that Dazai Osamu is more inclined to say - other people in the Armed Detective Agency "leave" "Edogawa Ranpo".

There are many options for this "leaving"... being captured, missing, or worst of all - dead.

In the eyes of Mr. Ranpo, these probably belong to the category of discarding.

However, unlike Mr. Ranpo, judging from the reflection of "Edogawa Ranpo", he does not agree with the point of view that he was "abandoned".

Because the other party's emotional perception is problematic, some micro-expression judgments that Osamu Dazai is familiar with cannot be used on "Edogawa Ranpo" - people who have no feeling for lying will of course not be seen as lying, plus Sakurai's resolute attitude before going up, so Osamu Dazai assumed that the other party was telling the truth.

Under this premise, the situation of the armed detective agency in the world of "Edogawa Ranpo" will probably not be very good... Most of them are in a state of disappearance, and there is a possibility of meeting again, but this possibility is probably so slim that we can only expect a miracle occur.

I can't let Mr. Ranpo continue to question... If this continues, not only will I not get the answer to the question, but I may even tear myself apart with the other party.

——This is not what Osamu Dazai wants to see.

Thinking of this, Osamu Dazai sighed slightly in his heart for Mr. Ranpo's straightforwardness just now.

Mr. Ranpo's reasoning ability is very strong, but he doesn't know much about the world, and he often can't even understand other people's thinking... For example, Mr. Ranpo should be regarded as "second-hand thinking", that is, he is good at analyzing and restoring the truth of events , with enough clues, to conduct an accurate review of the past.

But because he can't figure out people's hearts, Mr. Ranpo's judgments on things that haven't happened and things that are happening are relatively inaccurate... Of course, they are still stronger than most people, but sometimes they can seem a little dangerous .

——For example, he must not have realized that there might be problems if he continued to ask.

After seeing that the situation had eased over there, Atsushi Nakajima thought about it, and planned to make persistent efforts and talk about some relaxing topics.

For the two Mr. Ranpo, it is a topic that would not be a thunderbolt...

Before he knew that "Edogawa Ranpo" had no sense of taste, he could bring the topic to desserts, but now...

Atsushi Nakajima felt that he was really not far from being bald.Other things of interest... you don't want to talk about the case, do you? !

He doesn't know this either! !

"Don't think so much, Atsushi. No matter how much you think about it, you won't be able to understand it. After all, the focus is wrong from the beginning." Edogawa Ranpo interrupted Atsushi Nakajima's brainstorming, and made a decision directly, "We're going back to the detective now. society."

……

By the time Sakurai and the others arrived at the detective agency, it was already around two o'clock in the afternoon. There were not many people in the detective agency. Kunikida Doppo and the president Fukuzawa Yukichi went out to do errands, and at a glance, only Ken Miyazawa was left in the house Ji and Tanizaki Junichiro are looking after the house.

Tanizaki Junichiro was the first to notice Ranpo Edogawa and the others coming back, and responded, "Welcome back, it's a bit late today, what happened...?"

He couldn't help but exclaimed after seeing two random steps coming in from the door: "Eh?"

"Wow, it's another Ranpo-san," the blond boy wearing a straw hat came to Sakurai Satoshi curiously, and began to introduce himself somewhat naturally, "It's our first meeting, I'm Miyazawa Kenji, let's get along well .”

Sakurai paused for two seconds, choosing to show her true self——

After breaking away from the elements of performance, Sakurai Makoto showed indifference that was almost visible to the naked eye. He held the hand stretched out in front of him and shook it casually, as if he had finished greeting him.

"Hey!" Edogawa Ranpo shouted as if he saw his own child bullying others: "Come here!"

Seeing that Sakurai didn't respond, Edogawa stomped his feet vigorously in Ranbu, then rushed over angrily, dragged Sakurai into the reception room beside him, and closed the door with a bang.

The moment he was dragged away, Sakurai Makoto opened his eyes, and glanced at everyone in the detective agency without any emotion. The cold scrutiny made people feel chills behind them.

Miyazawa Kenji is the simplest, and his focus is relatively simple: "Does that new Mr. Ranpo not like me too much?"

As a normal person, Tanizaki Junichiro grasped the point: "What's going on here?"

Atsushi Nakajima laughed twice and explained to the two in a low voice.

Osamu Dazai stared at the closed door with complicated eyes.

The behavior pattern of "Edogawa Ranpo" has been changing, from trying to disguise his abnormality at the beginning, to deliberately wanting them to find out later, and finally now expanding the worst aspect of himself and completely releasing it.

This series of actions gave Osamu Dazai a very strong sense of déjà vu.

——"Edogawa Ranpo" behaved like an unwanted child.

Only unwanted children fear being abandoned again.

Osamu Dazai felt that his thoughts became much smoother at once.

Thinking about it this way, the behavior of "Edogawa Ranpo" completely corresponds.

"Edogawa Ranpo" wanted to ask for help, to get attention and care, but he knew exactly what his situation was. He was afraid that the other party would abandon him after giving him a short-term warmth, so he simply started from the very beginning. Just expose your bad side directly to the sun.

"Edogawa Ranpo" is like a curled up hedgehog, hiding the scarred inside and only aiming at the outside with its tough thorns.

He's longing, and he's also afraid, though he may not even know what he's feeling...or feel nothing at all.

Maybe after everyone was scared away by him as he wished, he would shrink even tighter, and said to himself-"Look, it's a good thing I didn't trust them, so I scared them away .”

If you want to abandon me in the future, please don't come into my life at the beginning.

If you can bear the worst of me now, please don't suddenly disappear in the future.

don't leave me.

Even hell is fine, please take me away with you.

Xi sauce, draw your sword urgently!

Warm reminder, there are bigger ones in the back.

Another warm reminder, this world is better than a knife. (at least I think so)
