365 days of playing the knife

"Dazai, if you are kidnapped—"

"Just blink twice, please."

He didn't know where he saw this sentence before, and he didn't have any impression of the specific time and place. It was just this time that he thought it was very suitable, and he suddenly wanted to play.

"Okay, I'm not joking." Tsurumaru is also a person who clearly separates business and private affairs.Well, it was explained that, for him, no matter what happened to Balian, it was not as important as what his own children cared about.

"Private affairs" are much more important than "official affairs".

The other side was silent for a while, through the mobile phone with good radio, Tsurumaru seemed to hear some cracking sound, is it an illusion?

But watching Wuhutui also tilted his head in doubt, he realized that it was definitely not an illusion, so he asked jokingly, "Could it be that he was really kidnapped?"

"Cough cough..." Osamu Dazai coughed twice, in the kind of voice deliberately suppressing laughter, "How is it possible—speaking of which, is Tui-kun with you?"

"Yeah, Xiao Tui is right next to me." Tsurumaru took a sip of water - just asked the waiter to take it.Coco drank too much and ate another cake, causing his mouth to have a sour taste overflowing from his throat, making him uncomfortable.

As for the kidnapping, Tsurumaru really didn't believe it. Although he had only met Dazai a few times, after the first meeting, he ran into Dazai going to the back mountain to pick mushrooms... Well, he was deeply impressed by Dazai.

It can't be said that he knows Dazai well, but Tsurumaru can guarantee that if Dazai wants to die, he will definitely die under his own design.

No one else, whoever it is, can't.

So the kidnapping or something—even if it was true, it must be Dazai himself planning something.Can this type of kidnapping really be called kidnapping?

However, there is no need to let Xiao Tui know about this kind of thing.

"Then look for me, is something wrong with Dun-kun?"

"That's right—" Tsurumaru knocked on the table, his eyes flickered, "Speaking of which, your detective agency has incidents every few days recently, and I don't think it's safe for Xiao Tui to send you there."

"Or, shall I take him to Italy?"

"Mr. Crane...!" Wuhu subconsciously called out Tsurumaru's name.

"Do you want to do the seafood business?" Dazai asked back.

"Yeah, yeah," Tsurumaru said seriously, "The seafood business is a little better than your detective agency—hm, do you like clams?"

"..." Wu Hutui looked at Tsurumaru, seeming to understand, but also didn't seem to understand what Tsurumaru meant, so he just answered literally, "...it's okay."

"That's great! Anyway, I'm going to Italy, Xiao Tui and you come together!"

“Eh——Abducted members of our detective agency right in front of me?”

"You're not in front of me." After Tsurumaru said this, he changed the topic, "So, it's all in your plan?"

"Almost." The other party gave a low laugh, and then the voice stopped here, and then hung up suddenly.

Tsurumaru looked at the screen that was hung up, and backed away at the five tigers, "It seems to be all right."

Wu Hutui nodded slightly and thanked him.

"Next, Xiaotai, are you going to the detective agency, or continue to hang out with me?" Tsurumaru asked.

"...that," Wu Hutui explained panickedly looking at Tsurumaru, "because, because... I was worried about Mr. Atsushi...so..."

"It's fine, it's fine, I've said it all," Tsurumaru rubbed Wu Hutui's head, "Xiao Tui, you can do whatever you want."

"Do you want me to take you back?" Tsurumaru asked again.

"...Mr. Crane, aren't you busy?"

"Well—I'm on vacation now!" Tsurumaru said with a smile, "I'll take you back!"

Noticing Wuhu looked back at the slightly melted mousse cake on his table, Tsurumaru thoughtfully went to the counter and asked the waiter for a take-out box.

Five Tigers retreated to Tsurumaru's back, and took the opportunity to call back Osamu Dazai's phone number.But this time, on the side of Mr. Dazai—the display shows a prompt to shut down the phone.

Putting away the phone, Wu Hutui's eyes sank, but at the moment Tsurumaru turned around, he made his usual innocent childish expression again.

"Xiao Tui, shall we go?"

"it is good."

Tsurumaru picked up the cake and held Wuhutui's hand, and the two walked towards the detective agency.

The speed of the two of them was not fast, because the location of the detective agency in this cake shop was actually some distance away.

As a result, when the Five Tigers returned to the detective agency, everything was settled.

Dun is back.

However, the previous battle was fierce. At present, Atsushi Nakajima was sent back to the dormitory by Kunikida because of lack of physical strength, and Izumi Kyoka, the girl who was carried into the sea by Atsushi Nakajima on the tram at that time, was still accepting everyone in the detective agency. interrogation.

——Since Mr. Ranpo, who was sitting on the sofa, liked this little girl very much, this kind of interrogation was immediately lowered by more than one level.

And what exactly happened, Guomu also explained to everyone.

Probably because of the 70 billion reward offered by "Renhu", Hong Kong gangsters sent Akutagawa to catch people who were smuggled/smuggled abroad, and Atsushi Nakajima was rescued by Izumi Kyoka.

Then, Nakajima Atsushi and Akutagawa fought and won, so they were saved.

It's really quite simple.

The five tigers retreated and sat aside, nodded silently, once again confirming that without his existence, Mr. Dun would have become more independent and powerful.

This also made him more sure of his intention to leave as soon as possible.

But how should I bring it up is better, I can't say that I want to leave this world, can I?

However, in reality, there is no need for the five tigers to retreat to explain themselves.Mr. Ranpo, who was introducing the toys in the potato chips to Quan Jinghua, raised his head and glanced at Five Tigers.

"Has it finally been decided?" He said this in an affirmative tone.

Five Tigers retreated with the feeling that they had been seen through, and when they heard Mr. Ranpo's voice, all the people in the room turned their attention to this side.

"...Mmm." Finally, Five Tigers Tui nodded.

Apparently, other people also understood the meaning of this dialogue.Kunikida adjusted his glasses, and retreated to Wuhu, "Do you want to talk to Atsushi?"

Five Tigers retreated and nodded again.

"Then it will probably have to wait until tomorrow morning." Dr. Xie Ye who was on the side added, "He will probably wake up around then."

"thanks……"

Five Tigers retreated and found that his entangled thinking was completely useless, because for the people in the detective agency, they didn't care about it.They are originally a group of special people with different personalities, and they all have various reasons for joining the detective agency.

As for leaving, although I haven't thought about it yet, it is not surprising that someone wants to "resign".

In other words, compared to Atsushi Nakajima, the five tigers are not the kind of people who must join a detective agency, otherwise they will not be able to survive.

Wuhutui has his own life, and he joined the detective agency at the beginning, but in fact it was not his own intention.It was completely along with Atsushi Nakajima, and then he merged into the detective agency without knowing it.

For a moment, the whole room fell silent.They will not ask where the five tigers who want to "resign" will go after retiring, but more or less some of them will be affected.

In the end, Mr. Ranpo, who still didn't like this kind of atmosphere, couldn't hold back, and directly dragged Quan Jinghua to his office.Taking this as a signal, Dr. Yosano and Tanizaki also returned to their offices.

Only Mr. Kunikida's position remained unchanged, and he sat in his own position and did his own work throughout the whole process.

Five Tigers thought about it, stood up and bowed to Kunikida, and left the room lightly.

After the five tigers retreated and left, Kunikida glanced at the closed door and let out a soft breath.

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

Time flies, especially for the eve of saying goodbye.It was as if a day passed in the blink of an eye.

As for Atsushi Nakajima, he just slept for a day. In his sleep, he generally has no sense of the passage of time.

"Morning, good morning, Mr. Tun!" Wu Hutui, who was sitting on the side looking at his phone, noticed the sound of Atsushi Nakajima waking up, and Wu Hutui took the initiative to say hello.

Atsushi Nakajima, who was still in the memory of the fight with Akutagawa yesterday, lay on the bed with his eyes open in a daze, seemingly unresponsive.

When Wu Hutui waved his hand in front of him, Atsushi Nakajima blinked twice belatedly, and glanced at Wuhutui blankly.

"Mr. Dun...?" Wu Hutui tilted his head obediently.

"Retire—retreat?!" Atsushi Nakajima sat up abruptly, "You're not...you're not!"

"My leave is over." Wu Hutui replied.

"That's it..." Nakajima Atsushi breathed a sigh of relief, "Then welcome back!"

Atsushi Nakajima's reaction made Wuhu's unspoken "but..." get stuck in his throat and he couldn't say it.

So in the end, Wuhu Tui just lowered his gaze, and responded with a smile, and the two of them agreed tacitly not to mention this matter again.

It's just that as a child who lived in an orphanage, Atsushi Nakajima was very sensitive to other people's emotions. Did he really not realize what the Five Tigers were trying to say?

— This is impossible at all.

Maybe he just wanted to hear the news later, right?

Atsushi Nakajima sat on the bed, his fingers brushed his abdomen inadvertently, where there should have been several penetrating wounds.Akutagawa's supernatural ability is very terrifying, the ability to pierce people in midair——

He was able to win, but because he relied on his recovery ability caused by his own special ability, and he also grasped the opportunity of close combat.

Atsushi Nakajima put down his hands, and while making the bed, he told the five tigers what happened to him yesterday.He briefly skipped all the crises, and explained in detail where he took Quan Jinghua to play yesterday, and said that he can go together next time if he has a chance.

Five Tigers did not answer, but just stopped when Atsushi Nakajima wanted to take him out of the dormitory and walked down the second floor to the detective agency.

The smile on Atsushi Nakajima's face froze there, but very quickly, he smiled again and scratched the back of his head with a helpless expression, "... so early?"

Wuhu retreated and nodded, his eyes turned to Tsurumaru Kuninaga who was standing not far away and waved to him.He took a deep breath, as if gathering all the courage in his body.

"Well, thank you Mr. Dun and everyone for taking care of me during these times!"

"...No, no, it's obvious that I have been taken care of by Xiao Tui all the time!" Dun waved his hand, and he took the initiative to accept Wu Hutui's words, "... Anyway, there will always be a chance to meet again in the future? No need Like this..."

"..."

"Speaking of which, everyone knows?"

"Um……"

"It's like this..." Atsushi Nakajima didn't know what to say, so he could only scratch his cheek unnaturally, his eyes drifted around, and he accidentally noticed the crane that was actually very conspicuous but ignored by him. Marukunaga, "Tei! Mr. Tsurumaru is here to pick you up!"

"Um……"

"I don't know what to say...Anyway, Xiao Tui is a member of our detective agency wherever he is!" After saying this, Atsushi Nakajima laughed and complained embarrassingly To myself, "It feels so strange for me to say this."

"It's not surprising..." Wuhu shook his head back, he looked up at Atsushi Nakajima seriously, as if he had made some difficult decision, "I, I... will come back to see you!"

"Well, ah... good!" Hearing this promise, Nakajima Atsushi didn't react for a while, but after understanding the meaning, he raised a sincere smile, "Then see you next time!"

"Ok!"

Seeing this, Tsurumaru came over naturally and held Wuhutui's hand, he waved at Atsushi Nakajima, "I'll take Xiaotui away?"

"……Yes!"

Looking at the backs of Tsurumaru and Wuhutui, Atsushi Nakajima seemed to see the familiar figure of the white tiger in a blur.There are blue flames on Xiaohu's four paws, and with the movement of stepping, it looks unreal, as if it is just an illusion during the day.

Atsushi Nakajima rubbed his eyes, but he couldn't see anything in the next second.

"We will meet again in the future." Reassuring himself like this, Atsushi Nakajima deliberately made himself ignore what was wrong when Wu Hutui said such words just now, and walked in the direction of the detective agency.

And the two who had already left Atsushi Nakajima stood at that corner, and did not continue to leave as Atsushi had imagined.

"It's a bit unexpected to see Xiaohu at such a time." Tsurumaru said to the white beast that suddenly appeared.

The five tigers retreated and touched and stuck to his body, blocking the movement of Xiaohu who licked him several times, "Very, very itchy, Xiaohu..."

"Because I haven't seen you for a long time?" Tsurumaru said cheerfully.

"Hmm..." Wu Hutui lowered his gaze slightly, the emotion flickering inside was an apology to Xiaohu.

"Aww—" But Xiaohu didn't care at all, he just kept pestering the five tigers to retreat, trying to make up for the time they didn't spend together.

"Hahaha, next, are you going to go straight away?" Tsurumaru didn't intervene, but just looked at the actions of one person and one tiger gently as if they couldn't tolerate anyone else.

Then, facing the time-space converter that Wuhutui took out silently, Tsurumaru was not too surprised.

"Mr. Crane plans to...?"

"Me? I'm special. My... should be regarded as a passive skill, right? It might be the next second, or it might be some time later, so don't worry about me."

"Is that so..."

Five Tigers hesitated for a moment, then nodded to Tsurumaru, and said softly, "See you next time, Your Highness Tsurumaru..."

Seeing the golden light emanating from Xiaohu and Wuhutui, Tsurumaru said with a smile, "I've said it all, you should call me Mr. He."

Before he could finish his words, the man and tiger in front of him had already disappeared.So Tsurumaru, who was still smiling, gradually withdrew the smile on his face, raised his hands that hadn't changed, and asked in a voice he could hear, "Did I guess wrong? "

"It seems that I guessed wrong..." Tsurumaru shook his head and sighed, "See you next time? I don't know if there is such a chance."

These words were scattered in the air, and no one but Tsurumaru himself could answer them.

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

The feeling of traveling through time and space is not particularly good, and every time he changes the world, he always restrains his emotions, and then confirms his identity immediately.

However, this time, he did not do so, because the stench of garbage filling his nasal cavity interrupted his train of thought and made him cover his nose uncomfortably.

There seemed to be a dirty aura in the air that could be seen with the naked eye, which made him feel uncomfortable and wanted to step back and find a clean place.

However, there are a lot of people who don't want him to do that right now.

He raised his head and met a group of gazes focused on him, like wolves looking at their prey.

Most of them are children who don't seem to be in their teens, and their clothes are dirty and tattered, as if they were picked up from a garbage dump.

A dozen or so children didn't rush up immediately, but surrounded him with vigilant eyes, as if they were assessing his strength.

And judging from their actions of guarding against each other, they are not a group of people.

In addition, he also noticed that there seemed to be some greedy eyes aimed at him in the dark.

I scanned the surrounding area with my peripheral vision, and it looked like a large rubbish dump. From my eyes, there was nothing but rubbish.

I accidentally passed a few adults in the same shabby and dirty clothes, and they just glanced at this side casually, snorted and left indifferently.

Taking this opportunity, he took a look at his clothes. ——Military uniform in shorts, the cloak on the back seems to be emitting a faint glow of green light at this moment.

It was obvious who he was now.

Under everyone's vigilant eyes, he silently drew the big sword behind him.The blade was sharp, and the moment it was pulled out, everyone present seemed to hear a "clang".

With a flash of silver light, the two children standing in front of him barely had time to resist, and their pupils shrank before being attacked by him.

Hotaru curled her lips into a shallow smile, and said to a group of people who were more vigilant than before, "Although I can't compare with a short knife, I'm not slow either!"

"Well—then, let's start a beautiful fight!"
