Why can't we be friends after the friendship ending?

"You know what I want to know?" Dazai asked.

"You don't want to know?" Fukuzawa asked back.

"Of course I would, but I'd also like to know how you know."

"Guess." Fukuzawa replied.

The short conversation between the two of them made the people on the other side confused, but Edogawa Ranpo was able to quickly figure it out, and looked at Dazai one more time, but he didn't let go of the question just now.

"But that's not the case for Dazai-san, is it?"

"Indeed." Dazai nodded, poured a cup of tea for the person opposite, and said, "According to 'time', I should be Chuan I met in 'future'."

"You 'back' to 'now'?" Edogawa Ranpo frowned, "What about Chuan?"

Fukuzawa sighed slightly, and said, "My current state is a bit complicated."

"Chuan's time flow is not a one-way linear flow for us." Dazai straightened up and answered, solving one of his big doubts, and he seemed to be in a much better mood.

Fukuzawa glanced at him, and then he said: "Taking Dazai as an example, for him, he was in the same class as me when he was in junior high school, and he met me now or in the future. But for me , It should be that when I was in junior high school, I realized that I would know Dazai in the future, so I noticed him and wrote down his name."

At the age of 14, because he realized that he would meet this person again after the age of 18 and become an important role in his life, he cast a little more attention on this "perennially absent" classmate.

But at the age of 18, he was able to call Dazai's name because of the attention he paid to Dazai at the age of 14.

The two influence each other and complement each other.If he hadn't known about the 18-year-old, the 14-year-old would not have made such unnecessary actions, but if it hadn't been for the attention of the 14-year-old, Dazai might not have left too many footprints in his life after the age of 18.

His life is full of such end-to-end loops.

Edogawa understood what happened, and the expression on his face suddenly became solemn. He opened his eyes and looked at Fukuzawa: "So, what is happening to you in the future?"

Both Dazai and Fukuzawa were stunned for a moment, and at the same time they thought of Edogawa Ranpo's reasoning ability comparable to supernatural powers.

But with just a few words like this, Chuan's old background was exposed. Should he be called a detective?

Dazai murmured in his heart, and answered for Fukuzawa: "He is dying."

After finishing speaking, he didn't care whether the rest of the people could keep up with the explosive news, and explained the whole "game" to Edogawa Ranpo.

If you can give him hints by walking around the "game", bringing Chuan in front of him should be able to figure out what happened right away?

He thought so.

After listening to Ranbu over there, he stroked his chin and pondered for a while.

While he was thinking, Oda Sakunosuke tentatively spoke.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Osamu Dazai?"

Dazai was stunned for a moment, as if he was not used to this title.However, he quickly covered up the strangeness, nodded to Oda with a smile and said, "If you mean Mr. Osamu Dazai who often donates money to certain children..."

He opened his hand and made an exaggerated gesture: "That's not me."

Oda was taken aback, and he quickly asked, "But don't you know it's..."

"No, no, no." Dazai waved his hand, "As for why I know, that's another matter."

"He wants to say that the one who donates money to you is not the current him, but the former one." Fukuzawa ruthlessly exposed the truth about Dazai's deliberate deception, "But even the current him will donate to you." That's it."

Dazai shrugged, but withdrew his hand and said nothing.

Oda was a little confused, he still felt that this matter was confusing.

"You didn't know Dazai before this, did you?" Fukuzawa asked him.

"Yes." Oda replied, "But no, I am familiar with this name."

"Then have you ever thought about why he came to donate money to your children for no reason?" Fukuzawa interrupted what Oda wanted to say, and immediately continued, "There are so many children who have lost their loved ones, and they can be adopted. There are also quite a few formal institutions for children, and Osamu Dazai doesn’t donate to anyone else, but to you, except for the fact that some of the children you think are related to the port Mafia. Don’t you think it’s strange?”

Oda thought about it according to Fukuzawagawa's words, and it is indeed such a truth.

"That is, he knows you, so you don't know him." Chuan said.

Oda Sakunosuke understood now, he muttered "There is such a thing", then looked at Dazai again, and thanked him solemnly.

Dazai felt a little uncomfortable, he looked at Fukuzawa: "Student Chuan talked a lot today."

"Aren't I trying to disrupt each other with you?" Fukuzawa replied indifferently.

Only then did Dazai understand that Fukuzawa said so much because he was blaming himself for explaining to Edogawa Ranpo that he sneaked away to die.

"Student Chuan, you haven't graduated from junior high school, have you?" Dazai asked with a smile.

"It's mutual with Dazai-san." Fukuzawa replied.

Yosano Akiko on the opposite side burst out laughing: "Are children bickering?"

"Who made Mr. Chuan still studying in a dream?" Dazai replied.

Edogawa Ranpo suddenly asked: "What happened to you in the future? Or did you get something special?"

The people present were stunned, and Fukuzawa replied: "I don't know, but I also think that it is impossible to build a 'game world' with my current ability."

"It can't be done." Edogawa pushed the glasses he had just put on, "So when you turned 18, besides waking up, you got something else."

He stood up and said, "Now we need some new information."

"What information?" Dazai, who could keep up with his train of thought besides Chuan, asked.

Edogawa looked down at Fukuzawa, who was on the opposite side: "What is the research project of your 'mother' in the 'game'?"
