365 days of playing the knife

Osamu Dazai was a little curious about the identity of the Five Tigers.

At first I thought I was just an ordinary person who raised a tiger (raising a tiger itself is not ordinary), but this kind of skill is not ordinary at all.

The speed of the action and the pattern of the attack just now, the weapon that has been hidden so far that even he didn't notice, and... the one-sided conversation on the phone that was heard from the bug on the way to the detective agency.

----------------

"Hey! Didn't you bastard say you're coming back today?! But you just don't come back! Follow the bastard boss's plan! Just wait here at Binsheng!!"

"…………"

"But, but..."

"I'm not myself..."

"Crane... um... so scary, little tiger..."

"It's dead over there...so, how should I notify..."

----------------

The tracking device he gave back contained a matching bug, but he accidentally followed him into the water before, so the bugging effect was not particularly good.

But in this case, in addition to the loud noise, he could hear the roar from the phone that made his ears tingle a little.

...Well, he felt sorry for Tui Jun's ears.

But let's not talk about this, about the title of boss, it's very delicate.What is the relationship between the original owner of the phone and Mr. Tui?

Bingsheng... probably has something to do with that side.

Atsushi Nakajima's identity can be found out at once, no matter whether it is confirmed in the orphanage or the traces during this period.

But this Ji Guang retreat seemed to appear out of thin air. According to his own words, he rarely appeared in front of people, and this sentence was probably correct.

Otherwise, this obvious feature should be easy to notice.

——Not surprisingly, he did come to Yokohama only two days ago.

For Dun?or something else?

Apart from the selfishness of a few people, this test for joining the company is also to test some things.

[-]. Can Ji Guangtui take the tiger without being discovered by ordinary citizens? (Large carnivores in the wild can be very threatening to ordinary citizens—even Yokohama people with good hearts. The "man-eating tiger" has caused some panic.)

[-]. Can Ji Guangtui control the tiger not to be attracted by fresh flesh and blood? (The premise of the "man-eating tiger" is that they are not optimistic about the tiger's predation instinct.)

[-]. Facing the murder scene, Atsushi Nakajima's reaction. (They are not at ease about Atsushi Nakajima, who is also a disaster-recognized beast that cannot be controlled by himself. If the other party really joins the detective agency, he will follow them to the scene sooner or later in the future, so test it in advance.)

[-]. What is Ji Guangtui's reaction to this obvious trap? (It is a test to test Ji Guangtui's depth, character, approach, and whether he can react in time.)

Yes, most of the designs are for "retirement".

After all, Atsushi Nakajima's identity is clearly there, and his personality is also known at first sight. As long as he confirms that the other party has no problem joining the detective agency, and his personality does not have the idea of ​​revenge against the society because of his life in the orphanage, basically You can pass the test.

But Ji Guangtui is different. He is not like Dun, a dangerous "supernatural person" who does not know himself. His identity and ability are unknown.

As a result, I didn't expect to try something like this now, and I really tried something.

"If you don't say it clearly, I will act according to my own ideas, Tai-kun." Osamu Dazai said meaningfully.

What can he say?Did you say you saw Mr. Dun?Thinking back, not many people know about the fact that Mr. Dun can turn into a tiger, and the Mr. Dun he saw just now is not real, so there is no need for him to say such a thing.It would scare Mr. Dun.

——What's more, he seems to have a little understanding of what this scene is for.

However, Atsushi Nakajima didn't know what the five tigers were thinking about retreating. Against this background, the silence of retreating was really terrifying.

However, Dun still prefers the Five Tigers, and his dependence on the Five Tigers is stronger than he imagined.After all, it was the first sincere kindness he felt after leaving the orphanage. He said with a trembling voice, "Yes, it was a misunderstanding..."

"Mr. Dazai, look..." As he spoke, Atsushi Nakajima stood in front of Wuhutui, and protected Tui, whose face was still stained with blood, "Xiao Tui, you're just a child..."

"How could this kind of thing be done by him..."

"I didn't say it was Tui-kun who did it." Osamu Dazai blinked innocently, "I just want to know what happened—that's all, Atsu-kun, your doubts really make me sad."

"Eh? Is that so?" Dun asked in a daze.

The five tigers retreated behind Atsushi Nakajima and poked out a head, looked at Osamu Dazai for a few seconds, blinked twice, and suddenly fully understood.

Mr. Atsushi was brought by Mr. Dazai, and he was called by Mr. Dazai.According to Mr. Kenji's science popularization yesterday, Mr. Dun is a supernatural being, and everyone is a supernatural being.

Knowing that Mr. Dun's ability can turn into a tiger, and creating an illusion of exactly the same shape as that white tiger...it should be an insider of the detective agency.Because Mr. Dazai has been standing at the door and did not come in.

So the reason for doing this kind of thing...is very obvious.

He tugged at the corner of Atsushi Nakajima's clothes, raised his head and asked in a low voice, "If, if I say... I didn't do it, what would Mr. Atsushi do..."

"Of course it's to help you out of suspicion!" Atsushi Nakajima answered without hesitation, an answer that he didn't think about at all.

"Then, if I say..." Before Wu Hutui could finish his words, the terrifying background behind him had disappeared.

Osamu Dazai clicked his tongue lightly, and finally stepped in from the door, he murmured, "Is it really too much?"

Following his words, the orange-haired boy who was lying on the sofa with blood all over his body sat up, scratched his hair and smiled awkwardly, "I haven't tried to keep the "fine snow" for a long time, so... ..."

Each ability has certain restrictions, for example, Kunikida's "Doubo Yinke" needs to consume paper, Yosano's "Please Don't Die" requires the healer to be near death, and Dazai's "Human Disqualification" needs to be touched.

Tanizaki's "Xiyuki" is the ability to project illusions in space like a screen, but it has a certain understanding of the projected fantasy and requires a certain amount of concentration.For a person like him who drifts with the crowd and hasn't deliberately exercised to release supernatural powers for a long time... it's a little difficult.

"It's okay ~ Tanizaki-kun, I don't mean to complain." Dazai Osamu said this with a smile on his face, and his expression immediately became gloomy after turning his face, "Obviously I just saw a good show..."

"Hahaha..." You obviously care too much about it.Knowing this, the smile on Tanizaki's face froze completely.

And he also knew that the test this time was because his relationship was gone.

The way they set out to pass the level last night was to barely pass the level when they realized that everything was an illusion.If you don't realize it, then responding to satisfy them is considered a customs clearance.

It sounds difficult, but it is actually very simple to operate. As long as you have the courage to go over and touch the severed limb, or check him lying on the sofa, you will be aware of it.

After all, finding evidence is an essential skill for detectives.Although... there is only one person in their detective agency who is a true detective.

Hmm... Judging from the results, neither of the two requirements has been met.

"So..." Atsushi Nakajima was stunned, "What happened!"

Tanizaki was about to explain, but he didn't expect his words to be taken away by that little child, "Yes, it's a test, right?"

"Mr. Tui found out!" Osamu Dazai was not surprised, because just after seeing the two of them, Tui's expression was filled with doubts, and then it naturally became clear. "Sure enough, Mr. Tiger is here, it's really convenient."

"Hmm..." Wu Hu retreated and nodded, the dagger in his hand was back in his sleeve as early as the beginning. "At first...Xiaohu, he said that the taste was not right..."

"However, Mr. Tui's skills are also very good!" Osamu Dazai pointed out, "Did you learn it before?"

"...I learned it with Xiaohu." Wuhu Tui did not refute.

"Well—these are not important, Kunikida-kun should be impatiently waiting downstairs now." Osamu Dazai smiled, "Let's go down first~"

"Ah, of course, Mr. Tiger, I don't suggest getting together."

"..." Wu Hutui raised his head, his face was expressionless, but the drooping eyes always made him look a little bit wronged.

"..." Osamu Dazai fell silent, lowered his head and stared at Wuhutui and Xiaohu for a long time, and said, "You really can't go down, Mr. Hu. Speaking of which, Mr. Hu hasn't had breakfast yet, right? ?”

"……Um."

"Tanizaki-kun has prepared a lot of raw meat, will Tiger-kun like it?"

"Xiaohu, Xiaohu seldom eats raw meat directly..."

"That's a pity—" Osamu Dazai was referring to the raw meat, which was still bloody in barrels in the room for added authenticity.But now that the window has been opened, most of the strong smell of blood in the room has been blown away by the wind.

Wu Hutui also knew that he was a bit strong, so he touched Xiaohu's head and said hesitantly, "Xiaohu, are you here to sleep for a while?"

"Ow—"

"Well... I'll be back as soon as possible..."

"Why do I feel like I'm breaking up an inseparable couple..." Osamu Dazai murmured.

Nakajima Tanizaki looked sideways when he heard these words, Wuhutui pretended not to hear.

When Xiaohu found a comfortable place to lie on his stomach, he called out to the five tigers a few times, and Tui also understood what Xiaohu meant, and responded in a low voice.

Dazai poked Atsushi Nakajima and asked, "Do you understand?"

Atsushi Nakajima said, "I'm not a real tiger..." How could he understand.

"Xiao Hu means..." Wu Hu turned his head back and said softly, "It means... let me bring him something to eat..."

"I see! I plan to take Dun Jun to buy daily necessities later! Tui Jun also come together?"

Looking back at Xiaohu, he nodded the moment Xiaohu closed his eyes. "I'll be back soon, Xiaohu."

After leaving the room, they took the elevator downstairs, and Atsushi Nakajima suddenly remembered the unwiped blood on Wu Hutui's face.

"Use this to wipe first..." Tanizaki also noticed, and he handed out a wet tissue, "I'm sorry just now."

Wu Hu Tui shook his head, took the tissue and wiped his face.The elevator quickly reached the first floor, and they could see Kunikida sitting in the coffee shop facing a notebook at a glance.

Dazai arrived behind Kunikida first, and naturally saw the surveillance replay in the notebook at first glance. The silver-haired young boy swung his knife at the phantom neatly and quickly.

This is not the point, the point is the time Dazai sees next to the monitor, which seems to be very fast, but Kunikida has slowed down by more than ten times.

Osamu Dazai, with his perfect eyesight and observation skills, also noticed that the silver-haired kid in the video was using the back of a sword.

If the blade cut my throat at this speed, I probably wouldn't even be able to feel the pain.Dazai thought.

Then with a "snap", Dazai closed Kunikida's notebook.Then he smiled in Kunikida's angry expression, "Kunikida-kun, how are you doing?"

Kunikida immediately calmed down, restrained his emotions, "Aren't you going to take them to buy daily necessities? It's enough to pay in advance from Dun's next month's salary."

Huh?Tanizaki who was standing aside was taken aback.What does Mr. Kunikida mean by this...?

Atsushi Nakajima didn't realize what was wrong, but his expression was still a little unresponsive.

"It seems that Atsushi-kun has temporarily passed Kunikida-kun's test?" Dazai asked with a smile.

"No!" Kunikida frowned, "If the semi-finished product that seems to have completed the plan, but because of someone's relationship—like a resource waste device disrupting my plan with suicide—can pass, Does the detective agency really become a welfare agency?"

"What does Kunikida-kun mean?" Osamu Dazai seemed to dislike him as if he didn't understand what the other person said.

"Hmph." Kunikida got up holding his notebook, "It's still under observation."

It's more like observation than keeping it by your side for surveillance, right?Because Tui Jun's force value makes you a little bit concerned—— and so on.Osamu Dazai smiled, "Then Tanizaki-kun and I will take Atsu-kun and Tai-kun to buy daily necessities? Kunikida-kun, do you want to go together?"

"I haven't finished my work today." Kunikida turned to Osamu Dazai obliquely, the disgust in his expression was obvious.

"It hurt me so much, Kunikida-kun." Osamu Dazai held his heart in his arms, "I really hope you will join."

"Don't try to disrupt my plan! Dazai!" Kunikida left the coffee shop very quickly without waiting for Dazai to continue speaking.And the shop assistants and customers around are all accustomed to it, and no one looks sideways because of the noise here.

"Kunikida-kun is real." Osamu Dazai shrugged, turned his head and said to the three people who had been standing beside him and said nothing, "Next... let's find a place that is more suitable for suicide... to buy daily necessities Bar!"

"No, you just said suicide, right! Mr. Dazai!" Atsushi Nakajima was distracted by this specific word, and shouted in a broken tone while covering his face.

"Suicide?" Wuhu Tui repeated the word in doubt, and Atsushi Nakajima remembered that Tui hadn't been tortured by Dazai Osamu, and immediately refuted what he just said, holding Wu Hutui's shoulder, "No, I didn't say anything just now, and you didn't hear anything!"

Wuhu Tui was taken aback by Dun's reaction, and quickly responded, "...that's it."

Looking at this scene, Tanizaki sighed aside, and suddenly understood that his next experience might be very exciting.
