Boss, do you have a card?

Nakajima Atsushi, a newcomer who just joined the Armed Detective Agency last month, after causing a series of bloody chaos with Mafia, he is currently trying to follow the seniors to learn the work process, and will also actively help fight some crimes at work. start.

And, become the role of a low-level younger brother who has worked hard and been called around by senior Dazai, who is always on call, works with blame, runs errands and shopping, and goes to the river to fish for slaughter.

In short, compared to the homeless days when he didn’t have enough to eat, Atsushi Nakajima cherishes his current life very much, and hopes every day that he can integrate into this new group at a faster speed.

Having said that, he will still feel that he is out of place at certain times.

Like now.

In the meeting room of the Detective Society, everyone gathered around the meeting table with serious faces, and there was only a white card in the middle of the meeting table. It looked very ordinary, and the pattern on it was also very simple. It was about the same size as a Tarot card— —The only special thing is that it was picked up from the bottom of the river by Mr. Dazai.

The stagnant atmosphere where no one was talking made Atsushi Nakajima gradually fidget.

Detective agencies generally have a clear division of labor, and each person is responsible for some cases and commissions. It is rare for such an all-in-one gathering. Today, even two newcomers, he and Jinghua, are called. It is really hard to imagine how important it is event.

Looking to the left: Mr. Ranpo has his eyes open, and he hasn't eaten his snacks.

Looking to the right: Mr. Dazai propped his chin with one hand, his smile diminished, and his eyes were full of incomprehensible depth.

Look at the opposite side: the president is serious. (Although the president is serious every day, but today seems to be especially cold)

Even when Mafia attacked at the port before, I have never seen this kind of expression on everyone's face.

Atsushi Nakajima, who was almost fainted by the crisis in his head: ... help, help! !

"Well, may I ask what happened? This card...does it have any special meaning??"

——!

Atsushi Nakajima looked gratefully at Junichiro Tanizaki who saved the air.

Very good!It turned out that I wasn't the only one who didn't understand!

After saying that sentence, the courage Tanizaki Junichiro had worked up with great difficulty immediately dissipated, and he was a little embarrassed. After all, the scene was full of the atmosphere of "everyone should know this matter", and his question was like asking the teacher in class. Asking questions that have already been taught is abrupt and strange.

"By the way, Tanizaki and you joined the detective agency later, so you don't know about it." Kunikida Doppo adjusted his glasses and opened his notebook, "Before explaining, you can read this first."

He took out two photos and put them on the table. They were all familiar people, the president, Mr. Ranpo, Dr. Yosano, and Mr. Kunikida. It can be seen that the shooting time was earlier, and everyone looked better than now Younger, and obviously not posing.

The one on the left.

Dr. Yosano, who was holding the magazine, had a slightly surprised expression on his face. Mr. Ranpo yawned halfway, the president standing sideways in the aisle showed half his face, and Mr. Kunikida, who was writing so hard that he didn't know what he was writing, even appeared on the edge. He shook his head, and the perspective of the whole photo was very strange, from top to bottom, it seemed that the photographer was hanging in mid-air.

However, on the whole, this photo is quite ordinary, because the other photo for comparison is too "special".

In the photo, Dr. Yosano and Dr. Xie Ye disappeared, and there was a blond hair they had never seen before... a miniature with wings, and Mr. Ranpo wrapped his body in a small cloak and forced him to poke his face... an elf? !

Atsushi Nakajima and Junichiro Tanizaki were dumbfounded.

no? !Is this size real?It's not made by special effects, is it? !

"Wow! There really are elves in big cities!" Kenji Miyazawa approached the photo with bright eyes, "So cute, is she an elf that protects the crops? Like in fairy tales?"

Quan Jinghua's body moved forward slightly, and there was faint curiosity and surprise in Chang Wubo's eyes.

It's always easy for young girls to look forward to fantasy creatures, not to mention discovering that they might actually exist.

Yosano Akiko smiled: "In a way, there is nothing wrong with what you said, Kenji, but she is not an elf, but a goblin."

"Wait! Dr. Yosano, aren't you joking?" Atsushi Nakajima was so shocked that he couldn't believe it.

Goblins and the like... do they really exist in this world!

"Really." Osamu Dazai exaggerated maliciously, "It can fly, talk, and is very fierce. If you don't pay attention, you will demolish the house. You know that the Mafia building at the port has been rebuilt, because it put her It got hot, and that's why the building was demolished to the point where it had to be rebuilt."

Atsushi Nakajima opened his mouth wide, not knowing whether to believe it or not.

Kunikida Doppo tapped on Osamu Dazai's head with a notebook: "Let me stop talking nonsense."

Osamu Dazai asked innocently: "I'm not talking nonsense, Kunikida-kun, who demolished that building is obvious to all, and you saw it too, didn't you?"

Kunikida Doppo put on a straight face: "Don't argue, even if the building is demolished, it's an uncontrollable factor, and Fu didn't do it on purpose."

So this goblin literally demolished the building at Port Mafia!

Atsushi Nakajima immediately stood in awe.

After warning the tongue-in-cheek Osamu Dazai, Kunikida Doppo solemnly brought the topic back. He first introduced Fu's background, then roughly talked about the situation back then, and finally concluded: "That's all I know. At that time, I just Helping out at the detective agency, but not yet a full member, so I don’t know more about it.”

There are not only fairies in this world, but also different worlds!

Excluding Kenji Miyazawa, who became more and more excited as he listened and didn’t think there was any problem at all, Atsushi Nakajima and Junichiro Tanizaki had the same unbelievable face, completely transformed into a frightened expression of a violent impact on the three views.

Osamu Dazai smiled, and shook his hand in front of Atsushi Nakajima: "Atsu-kun, come to your senses, it might be easier to accept these as supernatural abilities, obviously you can become a tiger yourself, can't you?"

Atsushi Nakajima said in a low voice, "Mr. Dazai, this cannot be compared."

Different powers and different worlds are completely two concepts!

Junichiro Tanizaki has a few years more experience than Atsushi Nakajima, and he has seen a lot of inexplicable things. Apart from being surprised, it is more of a self-reflection about his lack of knowledge.

"It's unbelievable. It turns out that everyone has experienced such a miraculous thing before. I really want to meet that goblin lady."

Speaking of this, Tanizaki Junichiro suddenly recalled, "Speaking of which, Naomi and I seem to have seen news similar to 'huge plants suddenly appearing' before. Was it made by that fairy lady?"

"If it's the newspaper in July, then it should be." Yosano Akiko nodded, "Fu is very cute, if you want to know anything else, we can talk later, let's deal with the immediate matter first Bar."

She tapped the table lightly with her fingertips, motioning everyone to turn their attention back to the cards on the table, and asked, "So, what should we do, President?"

Although the pattern on the card was exactly the same as Fu's, it was obvious that this was definitely not Fu.If so, the blond goblin would have jumped up and pressed against the president to force the contract, how could she be so calm and obediently stay on the table.

Fukuzawa Yukichi was silent for a few seconds.

When the members were chatting just now, he had been thinking about whether to make a contract with the character in this card.

Fu once said that "normal" people usually live in the white cards of "Book of Contract", that is, individuals who have not been polluted by dark matter, but not being polluted does not mean that the other party is a good person, no... even Whether it is a "person" is difficult to determine.

But if there is no contract, it is even more impossible to grasp the other party's actions. Fukuzawa Yukichi believes that no one is willing to stay in the card forever. Sooner or later, the other party will find an opportunity to contract with a person with supernatural powers.

"President, you can do whatever you want." Edogawa Ranpo said confidently, "Anyway, I'm here, so it doesn't matter anyway."

"Me too, I will support the president unconditionally." Osamu Dazai raised his hand happily.

At this time, Oda Sakunosuke, who had been sitting in the corner without expressing his opinion, suddenly said: "I think, can I ask him what he thinks? If we can communicate, there will be no misunderstandings, right?"

This made everyone look at him.

"However, this is just my personal opinion, and the specific decision is still made by the president." Oda Sakunosuke finished the second half of the sentence.

"Oh! In that case, I support Odasaku!" Dazai Osamu raised his hand happily again.

Kunikida Doppo pressed Dazai Osamu's hand down, and said dissatisfiedly: "You should be more serious to me, don't change your words casually, are you a child?—Even a child understands that there is only one right to vote!"

"No, Oda is right." Fukuzawa Yukichi agreed, "This is not something we have the right to decide unilaterally."

He looked at the card calmly and asked: "It is our disrespect to bring you here without authorization. Please forgive me if I offend you. Would you like to talk to us now?"

The card didn't move and didn't respond.

Fukuzawa Yukichi's attitude remained unchanged, and he continued: "My name is Fukuzawa Yukichi. I have signed a contract with Fu and had a conversation with Miss Curator. If you need any help, you can tell us. As long as it does not touch the bottom line of morality, we will consider assisting."

Traveling through the world is not that simple. If there is no need to do something, he believes that no one will spend so much effort to come here. The name of Miss Curator is to judge whether the origin of this person is legitimate, although Fu said that only the curator can use the magic linked between the familiar and the card, but there is no guarantee that there will be a special case.

The card still didn't move, just like an ordinary card, and didn't respond at all.

Atsushi Nakajima was a little worried and suspicious: "Would something happen to him inside? Or... is this just an ordinary card?"

Edogawa Ranpo was very angry: "Are you saying that I misunderstood Mr. Ranpo?!"

"No, no, no! Mr. Ranpo, I definitely didn't mean that!" Atsushi Nakajima hurriedly stood up and apologized.

Edogawa Ranpo: "Hmph! Your monthly salary is gone!"

Atsushi Nakajima panicked: "Huh?!"

Fukuzawa Yukichi was helpless: "Ranbu, Nakajima didn't mean that."

And it's not you who pays the salary.

Edogawa puffed up his mouth in disorder, and "hummed" again and again.

The pillars of the detective agency are making noise, but the pillars here are barely standing.

Osamu Dazai rubbed his chin, examined and stared at the card, and then stretched out his fingers swiftly——

Under the gaze of many pairs of eyes, the card reacted extremely quickly and moved sideways at a speed faster than Osamu Dazai, perfectly moving the width of just one finger.

Everyone: "..."

Ok, now we can confirm that this card is a real card.

Osamu Dazai squinted his eyes, and poked wildly up and down, left and right, but the card was always one step ahead of him. No matter how Osamu Dazai poked, the edge of the card would always stick to his side, close at hand, but he couldn't touch it. .

Dazai Osamu: "..."

other people:"……"

Ok, now it's confirmed that this is a tempered card.

"Cough, um cough!"

Kunikida Doppo clenched his fist at the side and pretended to cough, while suppressing a smile, it was not easy to see Dazai being choked up, he must record this scene in his notebook later!

In the poking game with Osamu Dazai, the card moved in front of Izumi Kyoka and Atsushi Nakajima unknowingly, and the two stared at the card, as if they wanted to poke too.

"Atsushi-kun." Osamu Dazai hinted.

Atsushi Nakajima hesitated for a while, but finally failed to hold on under the instigation of his senior, he cautiously stretched out a finger.

The result was also avoided.

The card is very "discriminatory", but now it can be confirmed that it is not targeting Dazai, because it is targeting everyone present.

Now Fukuzawa Yukichi couldn't understand, he asked hesitantly: "Excuse me, don't you want to make a contract with us?"

This time the card moved, it floated, it shook its head from side to side, then paused, then shook it back and forth like a nod.

Osamu Dazai somehow understood its meaning: "It's not that I don't want to, but that I can't?"

Card turned to his side, "nodding".

"If I'm right, give me some reaction." Osamu Dazai continued, "Not enough magic power? You can't make a contract? We don't meet your requirements? Is it dangerous? ——Oh, there is danger."

"Danger?" Atsushi Nakajima was puzzled, "What danger?"

"Maybe we are in danger." Osamu Dazai said in a relaxed tone, as if he didn't take Kaka's warning to heart at all. A beautiful lady?"

Cards don't respond.

Osamu Dazai was not discouraged: "I know, it must be a beautiful lady, only a beautiful lady is so kind at heart~"

Kunikida Doppo: "Hey——"

Dazai Osamu: "Miss, you must have important things to do here. Although I am very touched by your kindness, I can't just sit and watch your wish not come true, so I boldly recommend myself. Anyway, sooner or later, I will find someone to make a contract with you." , why don’t you come to me~ Don’t look at me like this, in fact, it’s very useful in many cases!”

Kunikida Doppo couldn't bear it anymore: "Dazai!"

Osamu Dazai dodged deftly and went around to the other side: "Really, Kunikida-kun who doesn't know how to be sympathetic to each other, don't interrupt my conversation with Miss, you can't understand our sympathy at all!"

Kunikida Doppo: "Who cares for you, don't be glib! Since you see that she might be a girl, show me some respect!"

Osamu Dazai: "Slightly slightly!"

Dazai Osamu: "Miss, let's ignore him, I still haven't changed my mind! As for the contract partner, there is no one in this room who is more suitable than me~ right? Mr. Ranpo."

To Kunikida Doppo's surprise, this sentence that Dazai thought was a joke was approved by Mr. Ranpo.

"sure."

"Mr. Ranpo?"

"Well, I can't find anyone else except Dazai." Edogawa lazily lay on the table, not intending to explain in depth.

The reason is very simple, let's not judge whether the "dangerous theory" of the card is true, no matter what - Dazai is the one who can control the situation the most, because it is Dazai, so he can do it, no matter what the situation is.

"Look, Mr. Ranpo has said so." Dazai healed his hair straightened up.

As a friend who knows Osamu Dazai very well, Sakunosuke Oda also expressed support: "If it is Dazai, there must be no problem."

Everyone looked at the president.

Fukuzawa Yukichi chose to believe in Ranpo's judgment. He said to Osamu Dazai: "Yes, but whether you want to make a contract or not, you need the other party's consent."

Since even the president said so, Kunikida Doppo has no objection. Although Dazai Osamu is usually inconspicuous, he has never lost the chain in business affairs, and his ability is obvious.

Osamu Dazai's rhetoric has never failed. After several waves of gradual progress, the cards gradually tended to compromise. Finally, after saying "our detective agency and Dr. Yosano have a very powerful healing ability", he got Licensed by contract.

Yosano Akiko took a knife from the medical room and handed it to Osamu Dazai. Others helped to move the conference table and vacated a small blank area in the conference room, because they were not sure whether the existence of the card was real or not. What a big body, there are tens of thousands of races in different worlds, it would be so embarrassing if he was squeezed in when he came out.

Osamu Dazai gestured left and right on his wrist with a knife, as if he was struggling with how big the cut should be.

The card was suspended in front of him, very patient.

Atsushi Nakajima was puzzled: "Mr. Dazai, what are you doing?"

Leaning against the wall with Yosano Akiko: "It seems that the blood of the contractor is needed to make a contract, but I have never seen it before. I heard it from Ranpo."

Oda Sakunosuke: "Yes, I also heard from Dazai."

Yosano Akiko, who was very aware of the Hong Kong gangster era of the two, raised his eyebrows.

On the other side, Osamu Dazai finally cut his own finger with a knife. He made a small cut on his fingertip, and then straightened his hand so that the blood bead came into contact with the card.

The contract array unfolded, and the gorgeous golden light scattered.

Everyone raised their hands to cover their eyes, and soon the light faded, and there was a clearly audible sound of heels landing.

The first thing I saw was a pitch-black windbreaker that reached down to my calves, and leather knee-high boots.

In the next second, the owner of the boots with a good figure moved suddenly. She pressed Dazai Osamu's shoulders suddenly, and pressed him to her chest neatly. While protecting the back of his head, she opened her other hand Moving forward, the raging black flames bursting out from the palm turned into a solid barrier.

"Get down."

A female voice as cold as ice drops came to their ears.

And the moment her voice fell, countless blue ice crystals smashed into the glass and rushed in, each cluster's speed and strength far surpassed that of guns!

Fukuzawa Yukichi's reaction was also quick. He pulled the dazed Edogawa Ranpo behind him, and then turned over the heavy conference table to help everyone set up a temporary cover.

The woman with the long black ponytail stood upright, her golden and red pupils were unwavering, and the black flames burned endlessly in front of her until the stormy attack stopped.

After waiting for a few more seconds, everyone stood up from behind the conference table, looking up with lingering fear.

The meeting room of the detective agency was almost reduced to ruins within ten seconds.

Look at Osamu Dazai again.

The protected young man, whose clothes were not even damaged, still maintains a posture of protecting and being protected with the woman. The hugger didn't let go, and the hugged didn't hide. Get down to see her.

Don't say it.The picture is quite beautiful.

"As I said, it's very dangerous." The woman said calmly, "This kind of thing will often happen in the future, and it's too late to regret it now."

"Hmm." Osamu Dazai pretended to think, and then smiled, "Does it mean that you are often "saved by a hero"? I have no objection, I am very welcome to experience life and death with a beauty like you~"

Kunikida Dobubu: "..."

Kunikida Doppo took a deep breath, and a vein popped out on his forehead.

"Dazai! Get the hell out of here!"

When will this guy know how to respect, respect, women! !
