My baby tamer can't be the leader

"What's wrong?" I noticed Dazai's movements, and turned to look at him belatedly.

He shook his head, looked away, and turned his gaze back to the letter on the screen.

The main idea of ​​that e-letter is, "I believe that you have seen the video, and you can take it as a little respect from me. Of course, I can make such a small-probability event as 'a wanted criminal accidentally fall from a building' happen. Can lead to other results... For example, I know that in Yokohama, there seems to be more than one organization looking for the legendary [Book], right?Ah, don't get me wrong, I don't believe in the existence of such a universal wishing machine, and therefore don't care who gets it.

However, if it were an organization that wanted to find it, what price do you think they would be willing to pay for this 'probability'? '

The letter stopped abruptly at this point, and Ango Sakaguchi coughed lightly, and said in good time, "The rest of this letter is the reward he wants to ask for...but because it involves some confidentiality, I can't publish it. Please forgive me for fully displaying it.”

Dazai hooked his lips with a half-smile, "Is it because the price you have to pay if you lose is a bit hard to tell?"

"I will not disclose this because the other party's request is indeed not aimed at you." Ango Sakaguchi explained, "However, if the other party cannot be found, then everyone will be affected to varying degrees."

"Political swap?"

"Don't ask—"

"Ask?" Dazai chewed the word between his teeth almost contemptuously, "I'm not asking a question, forget it, please feel free."

Ango Sakaguchi pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "...In short, [find out the real body of the other party's supernatural powers, and find out the real body of the other party, and prevent the other party from trading with other forces], this is the content of this commission."

He hesitated for a moment before continuing, "However, as I said before, if this mission fails, it will affect everyone in Japan, so..."

"Did the Supernatural Secret Service also entrust the Port Mafia?" Edogawa Ranpo picked up his words, and he stretched himself, "Finally, an interesting case came."

"Currently, we prefer that person's ability to control the probability of events or to guide certain things to happen." Ango Sakaguchi handed several documents to Edogawa Ranpo, but he wanted to He handed the document to Dazai, but Dazai just glanced at the document in his hand indifferently, and only stretched out his hand to take away a printed copy of the letter.

"No." He flicked the paper lazily with his fingers, "If it is really such a powerful ability, there is no need for him to make a deal with you, right?"

"The probability of being able to control things..." Dazai smiled, "Do you know the meaning behind this? How do you define this 'thing' and 'probability' itself? Leaving aside the most obvious things like he is For the application shown in the video, what if he can control the probability of 'will a meteorite hit somewhere in the next second'? Even a transcendent may not be able to do this?"

In fact, it is far more than that simple. If the probability can really be controlled, that person can completely paralyze an entire country in an instant with this skill.

It mainly depends on whether that person can directly adjust the probability of something that is impossible to happen from zero to one, even if it is smaller, it doesn't matter, as long as it is 'possible', it is already scary enough.

Take the simplest example, if that person can control the probability of whether 'human beings' will be allergic to 'oxygen at air concentration', the consequences will be quite dire, no less than that of 'fish' to 'water' allergic reaction.

"What's more..." Dazai didn't continue, but changed the topic, and said with a relaxed expression, "So, I think, his ability should be a big aspect like 'luck'."

"Indeed..." Ango Sakaguchi pondered for a moment, and agreed with his statement, "But it may also be because his abilities are greatly restricted? After all, all we have here is this video, guessing is not enough. More evidence is needed."

Dazai put the paper back on the table noncommittally, "Please go ahead, since you don't have any more clues, I'll look elsewhere."

Kunikida Doppo pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose when he heard the words, "Wait a minute, I still don't know what's going on with the enemy, I'll go with you."

"Huh?" Dazai picked me up from the ground in my unprepared look rather uncomfortably, and refused, "There must be a limit to disturbing the scenery, please don't come to be a light bulb, Kunikida-kun."

I:……

Kunikida Doppo: ...? !

In fact, at this moment, not only the expression on Kunikida Doppo's face is particularly distorted, except for Edogawa Ranpo and Izumi Kyoka, the expressions on other people's faces can be said to be a hundred flowers blooming, each with its own merits.

And the one who was hit the hardest, besides Kunikida Doppo, was Sakaguchi Ango.

Seeing that he was halfway through the movement of pushing the glasses, he froze in mid-air, and seeing that the frame of his glasses was about to crack on the spot just like his expression at this time because of the strength he had confiscated for a while.

The president was also silent for a moment, and after a long while, he clenched a fist with one hand, put it to his lips and coughed softly, "Dazai, don't make such a joke."

"Huh? I don't." Dazai rubbed innocently and started to subconsciously look for me, who had already begun to subconsciously look for seams on the floor, and said confidently, "I just want to stay with my lover, this is a normal request, right? ?”

"But you during the day..."

"Maybe your brain was damaged when you entered the water during the day, so don't worry about it." Dazai replied without hesitation.

"???"

Seeing that other people were almost overwhelmed by the question marks popping up on their foreheads, I covered my face and tugged at Dazai's soft hair tail, "Stop playing, let's go!"

It wasn't until this time that Ango Sakaguchi was relieved a little, and his expression was extremely complicated. If I had to describe it, it would probably be "I didn't expect you to end up on the old road of Mori Ogai...", oh Yes, other people in the detective agency knew that I was made smaller, but he didn't!

It’s just that Dazai didn’t mind other people’s opinions, not to mention that the identity he was carrying was not his own at all, he hugged me and pretended to say, “Ango, people will change, but there is only one thing I can be sure of… You can't find such a lovely girlfriend."

"No, it's not a question of cuteness, it's a crime!! And I don't want to either!!"

I put out my hand to cover my face with a 'snap', gritted my teeth and said, "Are you still going? If you don't, I'm going!"

Only then did Dazai give up the idea of ​​continuing to persecute Ango Sakaguchi, like a cat finally mercifully let go of the little toy under its paws that had already been severely hit by the cat's claws, and left the Armed Detective Agency in a happy mood.

It's just that seeing that he didn't intend to go anywhere to investigate the case at all, but just walked through the streets and alleys in a formal manner, I was a little suspicious, "Do you know who the prisoner is this time? "

He said "um", "I just said it, his ability is luck."

"Wouldn't that be convenient?"

"Hey, that's not true." Dazai replied to me, "For things like supernatural powers, the person who uses them has to be distinguished, just like Atsu-kun."

"That person has no way to master this ability at all. Even if the strength of this 'luck' is not discussed, he can't even decide whether the result of the ability is bad luck or good luck. At most, he can only control the direction a little bit to disgust others. That's all." He casually said something rather terrible, "If it weren't for this, I would want to keep him alive, what a pity."

Maybe it's because I saw me' you really punished? ?Can this be said? ? ', Dazai explained with a bit of distress, "I didn't do it, it was the ability he used on himself when he was about to be caught, but it's a pity that luck itself didn't patronize him, he Drawn the worst result... I just didn't stop it."

"This video is slightly different from the one I received. In my case, the wanted criminal finally escaped by car, and the person who went to pursue him was stopped far behind by a sudden car accident... It was sent by the other party. The rhetoric of the letter has also been slightly changed because of this, probably two versions were written at the beginning? It’s really boring.”

He even looked a little bit regretful, "Obviously it would be more interesting if that person didn't have supernatural powers, but only used his brain to do this. Now this is just a fool's overthinking."

"It's just that the location that person chose to hide is indeed different, so I don't need my help to find it?"

In the middle of his speech, the phone rang suddenly. After turning on the screen and confirming that the words "Mori Ogai" were displayed on it, he cut off the phone without hesitation, without changing his expression. , "The one who came to sell, as expected, should be blocked."

There seems to be something wrong with this statement, but it seems that there is nothing wrong with it? ?

But the leader made a tireless call again immediately afterward, and there was a momentum that Dazai would keep calling if Dazai didn't answer the phone.

Dazai clicked his tongue, and answered the phone reluctantly, "Mr. Mori, it's not my working time, you can come to me tomorrow night if you want to listen to lies or perfunctory, but for the sake of our friendship for so long Now, I can give you three sentences."

"It's so sad, Dazai-kun." On the other end of the phone, Mori Ogai tactfully did not change the topic, but continued, "I think the Armed Detective Agency should have also received a commission from the Supernatural Secret Service Division. The reason why I came to you is because... Zhongye was targeted by the other party, and I want to know whether [No Longer Human] can block the other party's ability."

"Oh, that's really rare good news, please be more specific?" Dazai became interested in an instant, "Why do you think so?"

"Dazai-kun... Chuya is right next to me right now?"
