Leader Zai and Despair Raids the World

Conan's thoughts changed for a moment, and he raised the alert value again.

...Obviously, it was hard to relax by Dazai's side.

He also wanted to try to get a formula from the kid, asking how to get the gem.

Not that Conan wants to help...

But it's not that it doesn't help......

?Huh?

It seems that I said something that doesn't match the character, the protagonist--

In short, the well-known protagonist of the world in the three-dimensional world, the famous detective who sticks to his faith and justice, once again showed a thoughtful look, hiding his alert eyes in a childlike smile, and secretly looked at the other two boys.

From the outside, there is really no difference.

But they were all about eight years old, and they were all dressed in white like Dazai, so they really didn't look like members of the Men in Black organization.

The one on the left has black hair up to his ears, and he is talking to Dazai with a smile on his side, asking him, "Who are these children?"

His voice sounded gentle, without any anger.

It's almost like—

He doesn't even have a temper in front of Dazai, it's like being tolerant no matter what Dazai does.

But.Even Buddha,

Treating others with bottomless kindness will only drag them into a drowning vortex.

As if aware of Conan's secretly observing gaze, the black-haired boy turned his face and gave him a casual glance.

"..."

Conan's smiling face froze for a moment, and it was all thanks to his willpower that he kept his expression from cracking.

? ?what happened?

Why are your eyes so cold when you look at him?

It's two extremes when looking at Dazai, right? ?

The detective was keenly aware of this, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

He took a shallow breath, classified the information in his mind, and at the same time created a new file for the black-haired boy in front of him, put it under the name of "Men in Black Organization", and marked it red.

Conan turned to look at the other one.

The other is white, a rare hair color.

The color of the eyes is also not common, even if you squint when you smile, you can still see the violet-like pupil color.

Even rarer may be the inverted crown under the boy's left eyelid...is it a tattoo?Is it really okay for such a young child to get tattoos? ? ?

Conan was puzzled, but he was not a person who would make irresponsible remarks about other people's clothing. The focus of his observation was on the other person's behavior.

The white-haired child seemed to have a more lively personality than the other one, smiling at everyone, and made Yoshida Ayumi laugh with two or three sentences.

He also noticed Conan's observation, and flirtatiously gave a wink to Conan... the Haibara Ai behind him~

Conan: "..."

very good. The name of "Men in Black Organization" is a happy addition.

? ? ?what happened?

Although the child looks very friendly, but at the same time gives people a strong sense of inaccessibility.

As if there is a glass-like barrier between you and others.

It seems to be standing at a completely different height from everyone else.

as if--

He himself is a player.

And everyone else is like an NPC.

It was really hard for Conan to understand, and his instinct as a famous detective made him unable to miss the sense of disobedience from these two children.

He felt hesitant, and began to worry about the group of young detectives who had swarmed to Dazai Osamu.

At the same time, he felt that Hui Yuan Ai's grip on his sleeve tightened and loosened, as if he had experienced the same psychological fluctuation.

Conan: ...I am an ordinary high school student detective, what have I experienced in just half a year?

From national security to the physical and mental health of primary school students, it has become a matter of concern for me at some point? !

Is this the fault of the men in black, or the fault of the men in black? !

However, complaints are complaints, complaints are complaints, and we can't stand still.

Conan has his own goals.

So is Haibara Ai, and so is Dazai Osamu.

Everyone is on the train.

Constantly, continually, continually—

Drive in the direction of your choice.

Conan saw Dazai waving lightly to him, sighed, still blocking Haibara Ai, and walked towards the group of children.

"Are you coming too?"

With outsiders around, Conan couldn't ask straightforward questions, so he beat around the bush:

"Are these all your new friends~?"

This question was asked lively and cheerfully, just like an innocent elementary school student who loves to play, Dazai gave him a look with a smile on his face.

Before that, he had introduced the Detective Boys to the other two, and this time he turned to introduce the two boys in white suits:

"This is Xia Youjie," Dazai said, calmly pointing at the black-haired one.

Then the other one is, "Bryn Jesso."

After finishing this sentence, Dazai added with a smile:

"They have the same identity as me."

"They are all honored as 'Master'."

"..." Conan forced a smile to greet those two—only the white-haired one returned a fluffy smile—and at the same time sounded the alarm in his heart:

Sure enough, the dangerous temperament Hui Yuan Ai felt was not unreasonable.

However, Conan is crazy here, but the children of the boy detective team don't know the inside story.

——I don’t know, the two in front of me, no, these three are actually deadly villains (…?).

They chatted enthusiastically around Dazai, talking about the new things that happened in Teidan Elementary School recently.

Dazai didn't think it was noisy, he was more patient than when facing the high-level members of the organization. Instead, he occasionally asked a question or two, which completely heated up the atmosphere.

The children were very excited, but they did not neglect the two new boys.

"Student Xia Yu," Yoshida Ayumi asked excitedly, with a smile on his face: "Do you usually like to watch Masked Rider?"

——They just shared the golden cards they collected recently.

"Yes! Let's play together?" Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko suggested.

"Yeah, let's play together!" Moto Kojima yelled happily.

Facing these young non-warlock Xia Youjie, he only responded silently to these enthusiastic children: "..."

He didn't intend to take another shot at the "monkeys" in this world.Because it's pointless.

He had no intention of remaining gentle with these children.Because it's pointless.

At this moment, what is the evil curser who is desperately trying to convince himself that he "hates non-warlocks" thinking?

Does he recall his best friends and playmates in his youth?

Does he recall the "righteousness" that he once insisted on, protecting the weak and ordinary people?

Nobody knows.

But, without a doubt, there was a chill.

The air in this corner seemed to have cooled down from the excitement and joy just now.

The smile on Ayumi Yoshida's face faded slowly, as if she realized what she had done wrong or said something wrong, she raised her eyes in a daze, and looked at Osamu Dazai timidly.

And Bai Lan took over the topic.

"Oh, how can you let such a cute little lady down? How rude~"

Bai Lan said with a smile, as if she was in a good mood, always smiling:

"Come on, don't be sad?"

Having said that, Bai Lan didn't even mention "to play together" at all.

I don't know how Bailan Jesso understood the essence of this world at the last moment when he plunged into the time-space conversion device in his "game save".

On weekdays, when he gets along with Dazai and Xia Youjie, it's fine.

And at this moment of conversation with others, Bai Lan showed his attitude almost without any concealment.

— free.

— don't care.

—high above.

It was so much like Bai Lan, the "game player" who destroyed the world in the doomed future.

"..."

Dazai glanced at these two undisguised villain "teammates", then looked at Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara who couldn't help showing vigilance, and the other three began to feel unwelcome instinctively little child.

Dazai sighed.

"I'm afraid I don't have much time to play today."

Dazai said quietly.

"There are things that have to be done.—You guys play with yourselves, will you?"

When he spoke, he did not deliberately slow down his attitude. He was neither trying to coax the children, nor did he sound like he cared about the children's desire to share their happiness with their friends.

But after these words were finished, the Detective Boys breathed a sigh of relief almost immediately.

The bustle of a while ago dissipated, and a few genuine children didn't know how to hide their emotions, and couldn't help leaning closer to Dazai.

However, when he cheered up and laughed, he was full of trust.

Ayumi Yoshida reassured her very sensiblely, "If Dazai-san is busy, we're fine!"

The two boys also nodded, and Kojima Genta raised his arms in a Kamen Rider pose.

"If you need help, you must tell us?"

"Yes, yes, you are a member of the Detective Boys, don't you forget?"

"Although I don't know what you're busy with, but come on! Manager consultant~!"

The children chirped and expressed their purest and most sincere blessings.

Dazai laughed when he heard this, and stretched out his hand to beckon.

Almost immediately, the waiter who was waiting nearby came over, bent down with a gentle smile and asked, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

The black-haired, blue-eyed waiter has a handsome appearance, but a very friendly attitude.

There was no champagne glass on the tray in his hand, but it was filled with refreshing and not too sweet snacks at some point.

"How about some dessert?"

The waiter said with a smile, and took the initiative to pass the tray...to Dazai.

Leader Dazai: "."

His face was indifferent, and he didn't intend to pay attention to Scotland who was going around all over the field and would pay half of his attention to him.

Dazai slapped Bai Lan's hand that couldn't help coming over to squeeze the snacks again, and pushed the tray towards the three children beside him.

"Take care of them."

Dazai said indifferently, but there was no doubt that this was an order.

Scotland blinked.

Hmm... It's rare for Dazai to ask for that.

In less than half a second, Scotland immediately put "that gentleman"'s order behind him, determined to help the young master take good care of his children.

After all, for Scotland.

The order of "that gentleman",

——Already, invalid.

After waiting for a few more minutes, Conan laughed dryly, and brazenly stayed beside Dazai under the suspicious gazes of the others, while Haibara kept her head buried, preventing Scotland from seeing her face.

Although the Detective Boys are reluctant to part with each other, Scotland suppresses his dangerous temperament in the organization and coaxes the children as a "waiter". He really looks like a gentle and cheerful big brother. After getting acquainted, he happily followed Scotland.

Conan: "..."

Conan: "......"

Conan couldn't help it.

"No problem," Dazai said directly before Conan racked his brains to hint:

"Scotland will take care of those kids and not let them get hurt."

After saying this, as expected, the expressions of Xia Youjie and Bai Lan didn't change at all.

It seems that this result has long been expected.

and--

"Don't care about those people in the organization," Dazai said a little coldly, "Today, I have a goal that I must achieve. I won't let those guys get in the way."

This sentence is infused with strong willpower, giving people an indestructible texture like metal.

It's rare.

After losing memory for so long, after being in nothingness for so long, after waiting for so long.

Dazai finally took the initiative.

Whether it's betting on the "initiative", it's also good to bet against Brandon Jesso.

It's better to confirm his status among the members of the organization and among the successor candidates.

——Since Dazai has decided what he wants.

— Then, he must have a way to get it.

And Dazai is not afraid of showing this of himself in front of others.

"Well, since you really came."

Dazai said softly:

"Edogawa-kun, do you have any information about the jewel 'Cocoon'?"

When he speaks in this tone, he does not give others room to refuse.

"..." Conan opened his mouth, his expression was a bit complicated, as if he was meeting Dazai for the first time, he blinked vigorously.

It was Haibara Ai who had been hiding behind Conan's back, and finally stood up.

Even when Conan couldn't help hesitating instinctively, this genius scientist showed extraordinary courage.

Scotland is no longer around here, and Dazai's attitude is clearly exclusive again.

Well, it was obvious that Xia Youjie and Bai Lan were so on guard just now, now Hui Yuanai didn't even look at those two, and just said coldly:

"Origin unknown, date unknown,"

Hui Yuanai kept a straight face, but said all the information he knew:

"Before it was purchased by the Suzuki consortium, almost no one knew about it. However, with the addition of the gimmick of 'Phantom Thief Kidd', it was widely publicized by the media, and everyone knew it almost overnight."

"...However," Conan hesitated for a moment, and under the accumulated goodwill and trust, he chose to trust Dazai, and added softly: "Before today's exhibition, it can be said that no one knew the shape, color, and shape of this gem." era, value, whatever."

"So, it can be regarded as 'born out of thin air'?"

Dazai slightly raised his eyebrows, thinking:

"...Interesting." He smiled lightly.

I don't know what's so interesting about it.

However, after saying those words, Dazai started to walk forward.

The direction is clear.

That is, the backstage of the banquet, which is supposed to be full of police forces, and as time gradually points to the nine o'clock in the evening in the notice letter, the deployment center becomes more and more tense.

Xia Youjie and Bailan Jiesuo didn't intervene, but Dazai started to leave, and they walked forward together naturally.

The so-called "initiative" in this world is not just for fun.

The two of them are also waiting.

Following Dazai's footsteps, waiting, waiting, the last——

"?"

Only Conan was stunned.

What's interesting?What's interesting?

Is it the gems that are interesting or the people who grab the gems? ?

A famous detective never doubts his own IQ, but to solve a case, one must learn basic laws!

There is no clue, where did this sentence come from? ! ? !

However, Dazai left, and he couldn't help following: "Wait a minute, make it clear... eh?!"

Conan trotted out in two or three steps. He was small and low, and almost bumped his head into someone's leg, and was supported by someone.

Conan looked up: "..."

A certain "apprentice detective" who had met before was staring at him and squinting his eyes, obviously recognizing Conan.

At this moment, Conan is about to experience another heart roller coaster!But Dazai, who had clearly walked to the front, stopped and turned around as if he had predicted exactly what happened.

"Don't get in the way."

Dazai raised his head slightly, looked directly at Bourbon, and said coldly.

"..." The blond-haired, dark-skinned man was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth, and finally let go of the hands that were firmly holding Conan's shoulders.

His expression seemed a little aggrieved.

The glamorous woman standing next to him—a well-known American actress—Bermode lowered her eyes slightly in sympathy.

At the same time, Belmode's sight stopped on a certain young figure who was hiding aside and wearing a hood.

She seemed to detect some kind of breath of the same kind.

Something she loathes and hates, something she must kill.

"Shirley", Miyano Shiho's...

"—shh."

Before Belmode could make a sound, Dazai raised his index finger and pressed it to his lips through the air.

In the boy's iris-colored right eye, there was an undeniable cold expression.

That was - the determination from the superior, which made Belmode bow his head obediently.

She gave in.

No longer in this banquet to pursue the aura that the organization had confirmed was dead and belonged to "Shirley".

Just like that, Conan pretended to be a child who didn't understand anything, and happily ran over with Haibara Ai, but his back was already drenched in cold sweat.

(organization members...)

(really!!)

(Organization members are already all over the banquet!)

(How many people came?!)

Under Conan's stiff smiling face, his emotions tensed up again.

(Also, Dazai)

(What's going on with this feeling of coercion?!)

Even Edogawa Conan himself couldn't help but feel astonished by the cold and oppressive atmosphere that appeared from Osamu Dazai at that moment.

(...)

(……But)

After much deliberation, it was finally the child's contented smile as he smiled and embraced death when they first met.

Conan struggles to maintain his "needs protection" filter on Dazai.

However, there have been two waves of members of the organization intentionally or unintentionally, and they still failed to get to the backstage of the banquet smoothly.

Just less than 100 meters away from the background, the most deadly enemy blocked there.

Long silver hair, black clothes and black hat.

He is cold and serious, even in such a banquet occasion, he is too lazy to restrain his dangerous temperament.

That is,

Gin.

For a moment, Conan clearly heard the sound of Haibara Ai gasping for air in horror.

The smile on Conan's face couldn't hold back anymore, and he still grabbed his companion, worried that she would rush out for everyone and reveal her identity.

At this second, Gin's cold eyes without the slightest temperature swept over them.

this second.

Osamu Dazai was getting impatient.

"What's going on, you people?"

Dazai said coldly, sounding no warmer than gin:

"Am I a baby with no power to protect myself? Why do you all gather around to watch? Don't come to hinder me one by one!"

Conan: Pupil Earthquake!

what happened? ? ?Members of the emotional organization came over one by one, not because of surveillance, but because they were worried about "Little Master", so they wanted to help complete the task? ? ?

In the next second, Conan's glasses almost fell off on the spot! !

—— Dazai was not polite at all, he took two steps forward and grabbed Gin's calf-length white hair, and pulled it down hard.

After pulling, it was not enough to vent his anger, so he kicked Qin Jiu again.

"Go away."

Dazai ordered coldly, raised his hand and pointed to the farthest corner of the banquet!

Conan:? ! ? ! ? ! ? ! ! !

Help--!

"...It hurts so much," Qin Jiu said dryly, but the man didn't stop the child's movements after all, did he? !

and,

"Okay. Understood. As ordered, little master."

In order to keep his identity confidential, he chose this title.

Saying so in a low voice, Gin actually didn't even look at them again, and walked silently towards the corner at the other end.

Conan:? ! ? ! ? ! ? ! ! !

Help--?

The feelings of the two "help" are completely different! !

It's over, it's over, it's hard to keep it until now, Conan's serious filter for the men in black organization is finally broken!

What kind of men in black organization is this? !

It's basically a club for men in black who gather people to suck cats! ! !

I am so proud of being scratched by a cat's paw! !

Conan is booming.

Conan was in a trance.

This time, Conan was dragged by Haibara Ai in turn, so he didn't hit the table leg again when he was walking.

... Hui Yuanai's three views seemed to be shattered to the ground.

But I don't know what kind of psychological activities she has experienced, she seems to have become more determined in her intention to "save Osamu Dazai from such an organization"! !

It has completely become "to save Osamu Dazai from such an organization"——!

And in such a trance of being forced to face the truth, Conan was not shocked at all when he came backstage and saw his old acquaintance.

The boy in the blue suit and red tie maintained a blank expression.

Walking over a few steps, he tugged at the sleeve of Dazai who had stopped.

"it's him."

Conan pointed forward.

On the left stands the Nakamori Ginzo Police Department of the Second Division, and on the right stands the "sleeping Kogoro" Maori detective.

A male high school student who was rubbing his blushing cheeks hard to tell if he had disguised himself, and smiled helplessly.

In a blue suit and white shirt, he looks proud and confident.

"Sherlock Holmes in the Heisei Era",

"The Savior of the Japanese Police".

——"Kudo Shinichi".

Edogawa Conan said dryly:

"it's him."

"'Phantom Thief Kidd'."
