[Comprehensive] Let me go and let me die

Time flies and the new year has passed, and the situation in Yokohama is becoming more and more tense now.

Mori Ogai joined the port mafia and became the exclusive doctor of the gang leader.And the Armed Detective Agency became more famous.

Because of the body of the current boss of the Port Mafia, he began to expand wildly regardless of the consequences.This has led to the unstable situation in Yokohama today, and Natsume Soseki's initial "three-point concept" has gradually become unbalanced.

The disciples of the same Natsume Soseki, neither Fukuzawa Yukichi nor Mori Ogai, neither of them wants to make Yokohama full of holes.

As a last resort, Fukuzawa Yukichi took Edogawa Ranpo to form an alliance with the doctor who is now trusted by the mad boss of the port mafia, Mori Ogai, in order to stabilize the situation.

Because Mori Ogai's criminal record is very exciting, Fukuzawa Yukichi is not going to bring Ayu.

after all--

In case that lolicon does something outrageous again, wouldn't it be just looking for a beating out of thin air?Should I beat him or beat him or beat him?

To sum up, Ayou was left at home by Fukuzawa Yukichi.

Although the situation is chaotic, ordinary people still have to live their lives, and all kinds of shops will still be open. Ayou is staying in the teahouse with Oda Saku at the moment.

"Ayou."

Oda Sakunosuke sat upright opposite Ayou, he put down the teacup in his hand, and looked at Ayou seriously.

"I'm not going to be a killer anymore."

"Ok?"

Ayou blinked suspiciously at first, and then immediately reacted.

"Oda, are you really ready to write?"

"Ah."

Oda Sakunosuke nodded.

"This is the result of my deliberation. Although I don't think I have this qualification, but..."

Oda Sakunosuke stared at the water reflecting himself in the teacup on the table, he saw his blue eyes shimmering with light, and there was no slightest hesitation there.

There was firmness in his words.

"I want to try it."

"I believe you."

Ayou leaned forward slightly, staring seriously at Oda Sakunosuke's eyes.

"Although I don't quite understand the conflict between killers and writing, but..."

Ayou rolled her eyes and smiled.Her eyes are full of understanding and trust.There was sunshine through the glass, just like that covering her body, as if her whole body was emitting light.

——Just as she always felt that no matter what she did in order to seek death, she would feel willing.

"As long as you think it's worth it, Oda, it doesn't matter. And..."

There was a hint of naughtiness in Ayou's smile.

"Maybe Odasaku, you will become a very famous writer in the future?"

Although I really want to say something like, don’t forget to save a seat for me at the autograph, but I don’t know whether I can live to that time, so Ayou swallowed this sentence about the future With those words, he narrowed his eyes and stared at the teacup in front of him.

This kind of unpredictable, don't say anything about future promises...

"Thank you."

Although I know that Ayou will support me, but the support I experienced personally will make people feel as warm as being caressed by the warm spring breeze.Oda Sakunosuke has always been involuntarily expressionless, with a relaxed smile that he has never had before.

"By your auspicious words, if there really is such a day..."

Oda Sakunosuke looked relaxed, and he looked at Ayou seriously.

"I'll reserve the best seat for you."

Ayou opened her eyes slightly in surprise, she raised her eyes to stare at Oda Sakunosuke's eyes, she could only feel his seriousness.

This is really...

She couldn't help laughing again.

"Then thank you, Oda."

What happened afterward was that Oda Sakunosuke told Ayou that he had left the organization and was estimated to be missing for a while. He said goodbye to Ayou, then turned around and disappeared around the corner.

Now, the weekly designated assassination day is gone...

Seeing the disappearing back of Oda Sakunosuke, Ayou sighed, turned and entered the room, and was about to go upstairs to calm down by drowning first.

According to the time, Mr. Fukuzawa and Ranpo will not come back too early, so Ayou has a lot of time to deal with the failure on the spot.

Lying in the bathtub filled with warm water, Ayou's eyes were half-opened, and her eyes fell on the white wall blankly. She seemed to be thinking about something, but she seemed to be thinking about nothing. The feeling of dizziness kept flooding her brain, and then, Ayou followed the feeling, closed her eyes, and fell into darkness.

"I'm back, little shopkeeper!"

Edogawa, who was walking in the front, opened the door on the second floor with random steps and jumped, and shouted happily before entering the room.

Fukuzawa Yukichi who followed behind him had a sullen face, his expression was indescribably serious, and beside him was a strange black-haired girl, although she was expressionless, her eyes were still slightly curious Looking at the obviously very happy Edogawa Ranpo.

Obviously, this 'little shopkeeper' is very important to Edogawa Ranpo.

"Please don't mind, Luanbu is more casual."

"nothing."

The black-haired girl shook her head with a slumped face.

In the short time of being in contact with Edogawa Ranpo, she probably already saw what kind of person he is.Edogawa Ranpo almost never hides himself, so as long as he gets along with him, even for a short time, he will be forced to understand what kind of character he is.

"Small shopkeeper!"

Before Fukuzawa Yukichi could say anything else, Edogawa's flustered voice came from inside the house.

Fukuzawa Yukichi thought that something similar to what happened in Mori Ogai happened again, his eyes sharpened, and he quickly entered the house.

The black-haired girl also followed into the room, and then her eyes widened instantly.

Edogawa Ranpo sensed a familiar ailment the moment he entered the room. He immediately opened his eyes, with a sullen face, and strode to the bathroom in Ayou's room.

--as predicted.

Surrounded by clear water, Ayou is quietly lying on the bottom of the water.

"Small shopkeeper!"

Edogawa Ranbu didn't care about anything, ran forward and hugged Ayou out of the water.

Although...Although it is not like he has never seen such a scene, but...

Edogawa Ranpo's hands trembled slightly.

The inexplicable thing like luck is something that he can't predict even if he has the ability of terrifying reasoning. Edogawa Ranpo can't be sure, every time he can rely on "luck" and can't succeed in the next "luck" of the shopkeeper's next "luck" Would it still keep her from dying.

As long as there is an accident, what greets her is the ending of being smashed to pieces.

Just thinking about it this way, Edogawa Ranpo will feel a very strong panic in his heart.

He doesn't want to lose the shopkeeper, wants to live with the shopkeeper, ten years later, 20 years later, he wants to see the shopkeeper all the time in the future...

But he didn't have any reason to stop her, even if he wanted to make a willful request, he was just embarrassing the shopkeeper...

Edogawa Ranpo's originally shining blue eyes dimmed, and the panic and fear in his eyes made him look extremely fragile.

"Random steps! What's going on!"

Fukuzawa Yukichi came to the door of the bathroom and saw Edogawa Ranbu who was holding the wet Ayu and his body covered in water. He hurried forward to check the situation and asked with a frown.

After all, even if Fukuzawa Yukichi wanted to break his head, he would never have thought that Ayou, the well-behaved and sensible child in his eyes, would commit suicide.

"Mr. Fukuzawa?"

Edogawa Ranpo's pupils moved slightly, he seemed to be about to say something, but was interrupted by a voice.

"I come!"

The black-haired girl came to Ayou's side first. She squatted down and put her hand on the artery on the side of Ayou's neck. Feeling the weak pulse, she frowned slightly and activated her supernatural power.

【Please do not die】

The light flashed, and Ayou's pale face quickly returned to rosy. She woke up from the darkness, then opened her eyes, and saw a strange black-haired girl, and

——Edogawa Ranpo with accusing face and Fukuzawa Yukichi with stern face.

Damn it!exposed! ! !

Ayou looked at the scene in front of her in a daze. Three seconds later, she suddenly turned her head to look at the clock hanging on the wall.

two o'clock?Why did you come back at two o'clock in the afternoon?Don't you usually spend time outside until (not) five or six o'clock?

"that……"

Ayou turned her head in embarrassment, with an indescribably guilty conscience and shortness of breath in the forced smile, and her voice was too low.

"Mr. Fukuzawa, I think I can explain..."

--------

After cleaning up, everyone sat down. Ayou sat alone on one side of the sofa, and the other side was the interrogator: Fukuzawa, without knowing it, Yukichi and Edogawa, who knew the truth but was angry. Chaopo .

Sitting on the side was the expressionless black-haired girl who had just come here and had caught up with such a big 'surprise'.

"so……"

Fukuzawa Yukichi stared sternly at Ayu who was opposite him with a slumped expressionless face.

"what is the problem."

he asked quietly.

Ayou cautiously raised her eyes to Fukuzawa Yukichi who had a serious face, her voice was full of guilty conscience.

"That...is...cough...suicide...well..."

"suicide?"

Fukuzawa Yukichi frowned, and the aura around him became more majestic.

Taking advantage of Fukuzawa Yukichi's momentum, Edogawa Ranpo also looked at Ayou with a face full of condemnation.

Ayou immediately sat up straight, quickly defended herself, and then quickly sold Edogawa Ranpo who was beside Fukuzawa Yukichi.

"He will know about Luanbu!"

Fukuzawa Yukichi's sharp gaze instantly turned to Edogawa Ranpo who was sitting next to him.

Edogawa was caught off guard for a moment, and then he saw Fukuzawa Yukichi's raised hand.

Edogawa, who understood in an instant, drooped his shoulders randomly, stood up and walked to the opposite of Fukuzawa Yukichi, and sat obediently side by side with Ayu.

With his head down, he glanced at Ayou quite sadly and indignantly. He had a sense of seeing me like you, the shopkeeper.

In this regard, Ayou, who also bowed his head, returned the smile of a dead friend who is not dead.

Ranpo, you still want to sit across from me and interrogate me?How can a good brother (not) not have the same difficulties!You usually make trouble and I help you hide a lot from Mr. Fukuzawa.Hee hee hee_(:з」∠)_

'boom--'

Fukuzawa Yukichi saw that the two younger ones on the opposite side were still flirting in private, raised his hand and slapped the table, successfully making the two on the opposite side as quiet as chickens in an instant.

"No petty tricks are allowed."

Knowing the use of momentum and timing, Fukuzawa Yukichi glanced sternly for several seconds before speaking in a deep voice.

"Then, Ayou, you speak first!"

Ayou cautiously looked up at Fukuzawa Yukichi again, and then spoke honestly.

"My dream since childhood was to be able to commit suicide successfully, but because of some reasons, I always failed, so in fact, I have always done this kind of thing, but you don't know, Mr. Fukuzawa..."

Fukuzawa Yukichi only felt a little dizzy in his head.

Still young?In this case……

Fukuzawa Yukichi felt a little dazed.

The abnormality that he has been aware of but can't tell is this!

Fukuzawa Yukichi thought of handing over the child to his Natsume teacher.

He still had a sullen face and spoke seriously.

"Natsume-sensei knows."

"knew……"

Speaking of Natsume Soseki, Ayou seemed to have some confidence, she looked up at Fukuzawa Yukichi, and spoke seriously.

"Uncle Natsume understands me very well, so he doesn't stop me, and supports me very much!"

???

Natsume-sensei understands and supports you without stopping?

The expressionless Fukuzawa Yukichi only felt that there might be something wrong with his ears...

He glanced at Ayou, who was very serious and didn't seem to be lying, and shifted his gaze to Edogawa Ranpo next to her.

"Random steps."

Edogawa pursed his lips at random, and answered Fukuzawa Yukichi with a tone of reluctance for this answer.

"……it is true."

Fukuzawa Yukichi frowned fiercely, only feeling that this development was beyond his comprehension.

Ayou who has been committing suicide, Ranpo who knows the truth, and...

——The indulgent Natsume-sensei.

Fukuzawa Yukichi took one last look at the two children who were sitting opposite him "obediently", then stood up and walked out the door.

He needs to contact Mr. Natsume.

Three minutes later, Ayou looked at the door again, and then spoke in a low voice.

"Should Mr. Fukuzawa go?"

Edogawa puffed up his cheeks in disorder, turned his head away from looking at Ayou, but his mouth still refused like his body, and answered Ayou's question honestly.

"Mr. Fukuzawa contacted Mr. Natsume."

"Is that so..."

Ayou let out a long sigh of relief, and then slumped on the table.

"This sudden arrival scared me to death. Why did you come back so early? There are more!"

Ayou, who turned his head sideways, saw the expressionless black-haired girl sitting on the side of the sofa, and couldn't help tugging at Edogawa Ranpo's sleeve.

"Who is this pretty lady? Did she join the detective agency?"

"This..."

Edogawa turned his head in disorder, raised his chin proudly.

"This is the member I found! Our detective agency finally has a new member!"

Ayou supported the table, and approached the black-haired girl who had been sitting quietly on the side. She smiled, and her clear eyes were not clouded by what happened just now.

"Hey, miss, I'm Quyou, you can call me Ayou."

The black-haired girl still had no expression on her face, but a trace of inquiry flashed in her eyes.

"Yoyano Akiko, my name is Yosano Akiko."

--------

"That's how things are, Natsume-sensei, I..."

Fukuzawa Yukichi was interrupted by Natsume Soseki before he finished speaking.

"I see."

His tone was still as calm as usual.

Fukuzawa Yukichi frowned, and his tone became even lower.

"Why did Teacher Natsume let Ayu like this? This child obviously..."

She is such a well-behaved and sensible child, why would she be allowed to behave like this?She's only 12 years old, what does she know?

"Ugh……"

Natsume Soseki sighed, and then turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window, without much focus in his eyes.

"Don't underestimate her. In some ways, this child is more mature than we imagined. She has her own will, knows exactly what she is doing, and..."

Natsume Soseki smiled slightly, then turned his head, and looked at Fukuzawa Yukichi who disapproved with some relief.

"She knows exactly what death is."

"But……"

"Many times, we cannot modify other people's definition of life."

In Natsume Soseki's eyes, there is a calmness and indifference that sees through the calmness of the world.

"Some things, even if you don't agree, you can't stop them."

On the other side, Mori Ogai with Alice picked up a different boy outside.
