Special investigation report from Yokohama

"So you're here." Xiaohuwan walked past the edge with the plate, and saw the God Judge leaning on the corridor pillar, staring at the sky above Honwan in a daze.

"Is the master in a bad mood?" He sat down beside the judge, and put the plate between them, "How about trying the fried tofu I just fried?"

Hong Yao hesitated for a moment between "it doesn't seem good to eat fried food at night" and "it doesn't matter if tofu is a vegetarian dish", but she chose the latter, took one of the chopsticks from Xiaohu Wan, and carefully blew: " It tastes good. You'd better eat it quickly, Foxnosuke and Naruto will be coming later."

You can still joke, probably not in a bad mood.Xiaohuwan was a little relieved, and replied very generously: "If you share it together, the fried tofu will become more fragrant and sweet."

Hong Yao bit by bit a piece of fried tofu just out of the pan, and smiled slightly upon hearing this.Xiaohumaru took the opportunity to ask: "San Ri Yue Dian has already told me what happened in the afternoon, is the master still angry?"

"Angry? You can't say you're angry." Hong Yao shook her head in bewilderment, "He's not the Osamu Dazai I know."

If Osamu Dazai—the one she recognized—did such a thing, she would be furious.But Chief Dazai... Just like she wouldn't eat the fried tofu that each Xiaohuwan handed over, she also didn't care what Chief Dazai was thinking.

The other party probably thought so too.

Xiaohumaru shook his head helplessly: "No, I mean, is the master still angry with himself? The master has been blaming himself for not discovering Yingwandian and the others earlier, right?"

"It's no use blaming yourself now." Having said that, Hong Yao couldn't help but sigh, "I just feel that, in the blink of an eye, they have also become history that I want to protect."

What happened today affected Hongyao's state of mind to some extent, and she recalled the snow-white Mikazuki Zongjin in the thick fog—at that time she asked him if he hated Osamu Dazai, but he denied it.

Now it seems that he probably communicated with Chief Dazai, knowing what kind of danger his request would put her in, so he rarely angered his peers.

Xiaohumaru mentioned the same person with her in a tacit understanding: "That Sankayuezong talked with us before you returned to Honmaru. Now it seems that he really expected today's scene. No matter which Sankayuezong is close, it is the same It's hard to figure out."

Hong Yao looked at him with some surprise.

"What did he say?" she asked.She guessed that Mikami Tsukimune would chat with everyone in Honmaru now.The old man wasn't so diligent in the first place, but at that point, his worrying problems definitely wouldn't allow him to stay in peace.

But she didn't expect Sanri Yuezong to say these things.

"It's something that some Sanriyue Palace would say."

What did Mikazuki Zongjin say?Xiaohumaru turned his head to look at the girl beside him - although she is no longer the age that can be called a "girl", but when he saw Hong Yao for the first time, she was indeed still an underage girl.

He is already an experienced lord.

"The master didn't become employed by Honmaru. Before that, she was just an ordinary student who went to and from school step by step. I heard that when Foxunosuke found her, she reported it to the police because she didn't believe its identity. Bureau——Honosuke who entered the police station, this is the first job in the government."

When he said this, Sanri Yue Zongjin looked a little emotional: "Because of this, I don't approve of the master's appointment. For this reason, Jinjian Palace even fought with me."

Jinjian also seemed to remember that scene at the beginning, and "hummed" with red eyes.

Sanri Yuezong laughed haha: "If time goes back, I will still persuade the master not to take office. However, I can't beat Jinjian Palace now, so I won't say these words."

"If you go back in time, the master will be more determined to join the job." The current Mikazuki Zongjin poured a cup of tea for his peers, "This is the master we are waiting for. Even if it is a sad history, she will also cherish it. .”

"That's right." Sanriyue in white nodded seriously, "But sometimes the so-called sadness is just an emotion that is too cherished."

Jin Jian suddenly stood up: "Sanri Yue Zongjin just likes to think too much. At a time like this, shouldn't it be enough to just be by the master's side?"

After Dagger finished speaking, he opened the door and ran out. No one expected his reaction.Yan Rong was stunned for a moment, then laughed and went to close the door: "This little guy sees things more thoroughly!"

Everyone in the room laughed, and Shikieraru smiled and shook his head, gently comforting: "Today's master is not the former master, so don't worry too much about Sanriyue Palace."

Honmaru was not affected by the fog, and the sky that Kohomaru saw through the open door at that time was as clear and full of stars as today.

In the end, Xiaohuwan didn't tell Hongyao about these three family affairs, but just said with a smile: "If you are still worried, just stroke Xiaohu's fur, and then continue to work hard. No matter what you do, the sword follows the master. It won't change."

"I remember." She laughed softly.

Xiaohuwan smiled and said nothing.

He originally planned to stop the judge.The way of thinking of the wild fox enshrined under the throne of Inari is also closer to the gods, so it is natural to iterate, and he doesn't think it is worth the risk for the gods.But before the words of dissuasion came out, he changed his mind after all.

If the master thought so too, she wouldn't have taken office in the first place.This is the proud master of the wild fox. What he can do is to overcome obstacles for her, not to hinder her footsteps.

The pleasant time of smooth hair is over, and Hong Yao rested very well at night.This rare good mood has not been broken until the next morning, and even made her say good morning briskly when she met Osamu Dazai who didn't want to face him yesterday.

"Is the lady in a good mood?"

"It's really good." Not only because of a good night's sleep, but also because of the sense of relaxation after finally making an important decision and being affirmed by those close to him.

"That's good." Osamu Dazai smiled, and said slowly, "I should also go back to work at the detective agency. During this time, thank you Miss Hongyao for taking me in."

Originally speaking this sentence in his tone, it was more or less a joke.This kind of joke is very familiar with Osamu Dazai, and I never feel that there is anything wrong with it.But today he spoke very slowly, and his slightly serious voice made this joke feel a little strange.

It was as if Osamu Dazai was some kind of homeless wanderer who took shelter under her roof on a stormy night.

She was a little dazed by this imagination, and slipped out a sentence that she shouldn't have said: "It's okay, the room is reserved for you, and you can live in it for as long as you want."

— No, what did she just say?Hong Yao, who had regained her senses, questioned herself silently.

It's fine to stay temporarily to ensure safety, leaving someone who doesn't belong to Honmaru to live in Honmaru for a long time, no matter how you think about it, it's not something she would do.For reasons of confidentiality, even Gin and Kyoka cannot pass unimpeded in Honmaru, but if Osamu Dazai has his heart, those restricted areas will be useless to him in a few days, right?

What shocked Hong Yao even more was that she couldn't feel any regrets about her words.This is not an impulsive promise, but a sincere invitation that she herself did not expect—she is willing to invite Osamu Dazai to live in Honmaru, or in other words, she allows him to have the right to participate in the most important part of her life.

It turned out that this guy was so important to her before she knew it.

"I see." Osamu Dazai answered ambiguously, neither agreeing nor refusing.

She must not know what she promised.

"Although I know Miss is very strong, it's easy to lure wolves into the house." On the way to the detective agency, Osamu Dazai suddenly reminded in a subtle tone.

"Huh?" Hong Yao was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was talking about the morning.How long has it been?

"It's okay." She replied inexplicably and without thinking, "I don't treat everyone like this."

Hong Yao didn't go out to the detective agency this time, she was just doing nothing—since the source of the incident happened in the world of Chief Dazai, she had to wait for the government's instructions, which involved the survival of the world, and the government had to carefully study it... All in all, although it was an extraordinary moment, she was miraculously free.

Then... I don't know why, but was brought out by Osamu Dazai on the grounds that "the more critical the moment, the more I have to go out to show that everything is normal".

It's strange to be out of the hot medicine, didn't she just go to the detective agency yesterday?And even if she wanted to come out, why did she have to be with Osamu Dazai—but she had already come, and it was even more strange to go back now, and Hong Yao could only stay with Osamu Dazai.

Speaking of which... this guy seems to be not quite right recently.I don't know since when, Dazai Osamu's attitude towards her has become more awkward.It's not the kind of awkwardness caused by the fact that the two get along too closely - after Hong Yao's observations over the past few days, Dazai Osamu does not reject this way of getting along, and it can be basically determined that the swords are just worrying - but often thinks The awkwardness of stopping abruptly after doing something.

"Dazai," she said abruptly, "do you have something to hide from me?"

Osamu Dazai confessed bluntly: "Eh? Well...it is true, miss, do you want to hear it?"

That's not going to tell the truth.

"No need. No matter what you plan to do, pay attention to safety." She recalled the danger factor when Dazai Osamu did things without telling her in the past, and she still felt uneasy after telling her, "If it is inconvenient for others to tell, remember to ask me for help. "

Although red medicine can do things like taking personal risks, it's best not to do it when it's Dazai Osamu's turn - she goes to beat someone up and then retreats completely, just like Dazai Osamu who was beaten up by others and then fully recovered But the retreat is different.

"...I see." Osamu Dazai replied softly with complicated emotions.

It's not him who is hiding this time, it's dangerous.

Seeing that Osamu Dazai agreed, Hong Yao was a little relieved.Then, the two heard the sound of drawing a knife from the side street at the same time.

Hong Yao stopped in her tracks, and glanced at the valet following behind.Fudo Xingguang understood, and quietly glanced at it: "Master, this is President Fukuzawa of the Armed Detective Agency."

Hong Yao and Osamu Dazai looked at each other in surprise, and Osamu Dazai immediately realized: "It's Yukio Mishima and Hawthorne. The operation was not carried out on time..."

Red medicine understands.If the power operation is not carried out on time, the body of the person who has undergone the operation will quickly fail.The devil probably treats them as abandoned sons... I just don't know why they want to target President Fukuzawa.

But all of this can be discussed later. Now that Fukuzawa Yukichi is under attack, Koyaku and Osamu Dazai certainly cannot stand idly by.The two looked at each other, and tacitly split up and outflanked. Osamu Dazai reached the intersection at the end of the street first, and found that besides Fukuzawa Yukichi who was entangled by the two, there were two other people in the alley—Masamu Yosano Akiko. Following Edogawa's random steps, he retreated out of the alley carefully.

"Mr. Ranpo, and Miss Yosano, here!" Osamu Dazai shouted immediately.Seeing the arrival of the escort, the two immediately quickened their pace, and the shouting also attracted the attention of Mishima Yukio and Hawthorne. In this distraction gap, Hong Yao and Fudo Xingguang burst in from the other side of the street at the same time, and the red The medical aid Fukuzawa Yukichi, Fudo Xingguang stepped on the street lamp and jumped down, heading straight for Nathaniel Hawthorne in the air.

You can't stay in the air for a long time without moving, but the sudden attack also attracted Hawthorne's attention, Fukuzawa Yukichi's pressure dropped sharply.

"Leave first!" Hong Yao shouted to Fukuzawa Yukichi.

"No, you can't let him leave here." Fukuzawa Yujige blocked Yukio Mishima's blade, his voice faintly filled with anger.

In the next second, Hong Yao understood the reason for what he said: half of Yukio Mishima's face had turned into carrion. If Hong Yao was not too familiar with him, he might not even be able to recognize him.

"People can't touch him." She immediately realized what happened, gave up the attack, and a golden light appeared in front of her, "Jinjian, Xiaoye!"

As soon as the two strike short knives appeared, they rushed towards Yukio Mishima in unison. The swords are not mortal, and they are not afraid of Yukio Mishima's supernatural power and poison.Fukuzawa Yukichi finally got away, and took two steps back with a horizontal knife: "I will guard here, and I will leave it to you, Miss Hongyao."

Hong Yao ran towards Edogawa Ranpo without saying a word. Edogawa Ranpo and Yosano Akiko were not far from Dazai, less than a hundred steps away, and the two sides were about to meet at this moment.When rushing to catch up, her keen five senses suddenly gave her another warning: "Mr. Luanbu, stop!"

As soon as the words fell, a person suddenly rushed out of the closed shop on the street, brandishing a sharp knife and stabbing Edogawa Ranpo.Yosano Akiko blocked it with a hatchet, and the hatchet burst open a crack in an instant.

After all, Xie Ye was not a professional combatant, Hong Yao feared that there would be an ambush, so she immediately drew her sword and rushed over.However, she was able to move, and Edogawa Ranpo and Dazai Osamu shouted at the same time: "Don't come over!"

What?Hong Yao had no time to think about it, and stopped three steps away from the two of them with a sudden brake, and subconsciously used a layer of enchantment to protect Luanbu and Xie Ye.The next moment, she only felt a pain in her right arm, and a small paper knife pierced her arm.
