what's wrong with my vest

Sakurai's mood was not right, Dazai Osamu gave a wink to the people of the Armed Detective Agency who were still piled together at the door, signaling them to get out of the way, and then took Sakurai's arm to lead them into the room.

Although Dostoevsky has already been sent to prison, but who knows what the other party has behind him, it would be better to try to set the place of conversation on his own territory.

Sakurai has been expressionless after saying that sentence, this expressionless face is not the kind of angry, but simply tired, and the feeling of not even wanting to move the facial muscles.

- This can't be done.

Edogawa Ranpo has always been self-confident and proud in everyone's mind, and has a very subtle childish image on a 26-year-old adult male.

Instead of the obedient, almost numb, lifeless being dragged away in front of him.

Edogawa stepped back a step to make way for the way out, his eyes followed Sakurai, and he said sullenly: "You denied it before."

Edogawa Ranpo did say that the other party was abandoned when they first met, but this is not the point now. The point now is that when we first met, the other party would refute Edogawa Ranpo that he was not abandoned , but now, he brought up the old matter again, and even voluntarily admitted it.

——This proves that "Edogawa Ranpo"'s current state of mind has fallen into a trough, and it is not even as good as when we first met.

Also, when we first met, the other party still had his own plan in mind as a support, as well as the belief that he would meet his compatriots from the past to motivate him, but now these two goals have been drawn from the body of "Edogawa Ranpo" gone.

"Edogawa Ranpo" is like a bamboo, the time is too short, he grows too fast, and in the end there is nothing left in his heart.

As the focus of everyone's attention in the Armed Detective Agency, Sakurai said, "Anyway, I admit it now."

Facing Sakurai Hato's act of cheating, Edogawa paused for a while, and dropped an explosive news: "The president has already gone to negotiate with the special ability department."

This was originally a surprise that the members of the Armed Detective Agency planned to give to each other, but "Edogawa Ranpo" ran away on his own before the discussion was over.

Sakurai rolled his eyes and slowly turned his head to look at him.

"Although your "reversal plan" cannot be implemented, with the help of "book", there are still many other ways to reunite you and your family. "Edogawa Ranbu looked awkward, and his voice was drawn out, "This is where we should use our brains to think of ways. "

Sakurai opened his mouth, as if he lost his ability to organize language in an instant, and asked slowly after two seconds: "...how to negotiate? What deal did you make?"

"Leasing transaction." Seeing that the other party was a little more lively, Edogawa Ranpo quickly adjusted his mentality, and his tone became brisk again, "In short, they will pay us a whole page of "book" as a reward. In exchange, we're going to outsource members to give them odd jobs. "

Kunikida Doppo twitched at the corner of Edogawa Ranpo's words.

Of course, the deal between Fukuzawa Yukichi and the Special Ability Division is not as simple as what Edogawa Ranpo said now. There are a lot of secrets and struggles hidden behind these light words. The final result is that the Armed Detective Agency is actually not Got a bargain.

Moreover, the specific candidate for this expatriate has not yet been finalized. If Kunikida Doppo himself or even Dazai Osamu and others are fine, if this arrangement finally falls on Edogawa Ranpo...

Kunikida Doppo pushed up his glasses to hide the worry in his eyes.

Kunikida Doppo's considerations are only suppressed in the bottom of his heart, but even if he said it, Edogawa Ranpo would not understand, just look at his next actions.

I saw Edogawa Luanbu raised his finger to Sakurai, and said in an encouraging tone that was not easy to be detected: "I will propose to the president to let you be an expatriate."

After hearing Edogawa Ranpo's speech, except Dazai Osamu who had a clear face, everyone else was stunned.

Kunikida Doppo: "...?"

The rest of the Armed Detective Agency: "...???"

Ranpo Edogawa ignored the question marks on the faces of the members of the Armed Detective Agency who didn't know why things had progressed to this point, put their hands on their waists, and said to Sakurai: "Even if it is a commission, you still need to be paid. What you want is to fight for yourself.”

If it was someone else, they might have been stunned at this time—after all, after working hard to clear the way for the Armed Detective Agency, and even at the expense of making himself half disabled, Ranpo Edogawa still wanted to drag him to work?

Listen, is this something that humans can do?

However, neither Sakurai Hato nor the "Edogawa Ranpo" who vaguely influenced his actions had never been eager for rewards before taking action, so when faced with this proposal, Sakurai Hato had only regrets in his heart.

This plan doesn't sound like a problem, and it could even be one of the best endings that "Edogawa Ranpo" can get, but Sakurai can't reach this ending because the progress bar of "A1" is about to be full ...he was only one step away from leaving the mission world.

Sakurai sighed in his heart: It would be great if things could really develop like this.

……

After such a toss, it was already late at night, and everyone in the Armed Detective Agency went back to rest. They were so sleepy that they couldn't keep their eyes open, but they still insisted on keeping Sakurai in sight, and even planned to send someone out sleep with him.

Osamu Dazai let everyone go home with a smile, and then took a deep look at Sakurai, leaving enough private space for him.

Sakurai stood on the spot watching him leave. After the figure disappeared completely, he reached out and took out the dice from his pocket. He took out the dice before, but played with it for a while without casting. Then he turned his head and looked at the darkened dice The window of the Armed Detective Agency, a little lost in thought.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind Sakurai Makoto: "Are you still going to leave? You obviously came back with great difficulty."

Sakurai, whose five senses have been greatly reduced, now has his vigilance ability weakened to the lowest level, and was startled by the sound.

Fukuzawa Yukichi walked out from the blind spot of Sakurai Makoto: "Tell me about your story."

"Don't you all know?"

The man shook his head: "I want to know the details, anything is fine."

Sakurai felt it for a while, maybe it was because the target was Fukuzawa Yukichi who was like his father, but this time "Edogawa Ranpo" did not stop him from leaking information.

"I'm not a person with supernatural abilities... Strictly speaking, I should be a contractor." Sakurai paused, "I won't explain some of the more complicated background to you, in short, through compliance with some unknown mysterious power The contract reached, the superpower who has acquired superpowers*..."

Sakurai said whatever he thought, but in the end he was no longer conveying information.

The way of getting along between the two is more like that after school, children will tell their parents about interesting things that happened at school.

Under this premise, Sakurai's topic range is quite wide: "Every contractor has a star in the sky that represents him. When the contractor uses his ability, his star will become active. Twinkle, and when the Contractor dies, his star will fall from the sky, disappearing into the world just like his master."

He turned to look at Fukuzawa Yukichi: "It's quite romantic."

Fukuzawa Yukichi looked up at the sky and asked, "Is there a star here that represents you?"

Sakurai shrugged, indicating that he didn't know, then turned around without looking at Fukuzawa Yukichi, and walked slowly towards the opposite direction of the Armed Detective Agency's dormitory.

"Are you leaving?" It was clearly a question, but Fukuzawa Yukichi abruptly said it into a declarative sentence, and Sakurai couldn't hear the emotion in it.

Sakurai kept walking without looking back: "It's been so long since I've been out, it's time for me to go home."

Fukuzawa Yukichi did not retain Sakurai like others... He could see that after the conversation with the detective agency just now, "Edogawa Ranpo" revived and became even more serious. Resolute, and did not accept the path arranged by the Armed Detective Agency as expected.

The other party has his own ideas, Fukuzawa Yukichi does not intend to ask too much.

Before Sakurai really walked away, the man suddenly asked: "Do you want to formally join the Armed Detective Agency?"

Hearing this invitation, Sakurai instantly understood the meaning behind it, and turned around abruptly.

Fukuzawa Yukichi's supernatural ability is called "Superior People Don't Create", which can enable his subordinates to gain the power to adjust and control their own supernatural abilities.Izumi Kyoka's "Yasha Shirayuki" and Nakajima Atsushi's "Moonbeast" were all successfully controlled after joining the detective agency and with the help of Fukuzawa Yukichi's ability.

"Although according to what you said, your ability is not a supernatural ability, and the ability between different systems may not be transferable at all. Maybe my current actions cannot bring you immediate help. But I will not give up because of this. try."

In order to take care of Sakurai's hearing, he used a slightly louder volume than normal, and said with a smile, "It's the same for you, too."

"So your answer?"

"……Um."

The moment Sakurai agreed, a wonderful energy permeated his whole body from the inside out, feeling warm.

Fukuzawa Yukichi smiled: "Are you confident?"

Sakurai raised the corners of his mouth, and at this moment he had his original high-spirited appearance: "Who do you think I am? I am Ranpo-sama... the world's number one detective!"

Originally, Sakurai Masaru was already sure, not to mention he now has an extra hole card.

In "Contractor", there is such a setting.

Contractors who have not paid the price will become "delayed payers" who cannot control their own abilities, and eventually become Dolls who have completely lost themselves.

Originally, the price paid by "Edogawa Ranpo" belongs to its own forced changes. As long as the ability is used, the senses will be forcibly taken away, and there is no such thing as refusal to pay.

But just now after Fukuzawa Yukichi's supernatural ability "Human Master Cannot Create" was applied to him, Sakurai vaguely felt that he really had a higher level of control over his abilities.

In other words, with the help of Fukuzawa Yukichi, Sakurai got one last chance to use his abilities.

However, the price of using the ability this time is for "Edogawa Ranpo" who has lost everything and just now has signs of regaining his feelings...

It should be heavier than all the prices paid before combined.

"Goodbye!" Sakurai Takashi turned around and waved his back to Fukuzawa Yukichi.

"The price paid by Lord Ranpo before, it's time to collect the reward."

The author has something to say:

It should be the end stage.
