After hearing Draco's thoughts, everyone couldn't sit still.

Fukuzawa Yukichi also noticed the unusual wind. He had no one he wanted to see and never believed in ghosts or gods.

But now, he was actually a little nervous, which was unusual.

Are they...Ranpo's parents?

He wondered if his performance satisfied them. He couldn't help but feel guilty when he thought of the countless times he'd thought about abandoning the cat.

You probably didn't notice it?

He did not go forward to comfort Edogawa Ranpo. Ranpo was not sad at the moment. On the contrary, his eyes were filled with tears of longing and excitement.

"I remember that the main world seemed to border a hell world? Could it be the same one?" Draco dug out this matter from his memory.

[Yes and no.] Every time Draco spoke to the "book," he wanted to get closer, but because Harry was around, he couldn't get even a step closer, and he didn't dare to show his dissatisfaction.

[It's like the relationship between the main world and this world. But that world is more stable. But they're missing something.] The pages of the "book" rustled.

"Is it Aratoba?" No one knew when Chuuya Nakahara and 'Dazai Osamu' came out, but it seemed like it had been a while.

Nakahara Chuuya's voice is very recognizable, always with a sense of opera, and the ending tone is always a bit melodious.

It's more obvious when you're angry.

Nakahara Chuuya crossed his arms, his chin slightly raised. His ochre-red hair, untouched by his hat, was a bit disheveled.

His face was rosy, not pale and weak as it had been before Draco left.

This period of weakness is not something Draco can control, after all, Chuuya Nakahara's soul and Aratoba's soul have merged together.

What was in Chuuya Nakahara's body was just a ball of energy generated by instinct. With Draco's friendly negotiation, Aratoba's energy was finally merged with Chuuya Nakahara's soul.

So this is just an adaptation process for Chuuya Nakahara.

During this process, some of Aratuba's remaining memories will be absorbed by Nakahara Chuuya just like in novels and movies, but it will not affect his own memories.

"So, since Aratoba is missing from their world, that's why they're interested in Hat-kun? No... they and their own main world know of each other's existence and can communicate!"

That's why they are interested in their world, but this interest should only be directed at those of them with special abilities.

Edogawa Ranpo's eyes lit up, and he deduced the reason based on a few clues.

His eyes glanced around proudly, as if waiting for something.

But that gust of wind did not appear...

A big hand suddenly touched Edogawa Ranpo's dejected head.

Warmth and generosity. Edogawa Ranpo looked up, and it was Fukuzawa Yukichi.

Fukuzawa Yukichi tried hard to force a stiff smile and tried to comfort Edogawa Ranpo.

Edogawa Ranpo was stunned for a moment and couldn't help laughing.

"When will the world fusion begin?" Kunikida Doppo quickly wrote down some information he thought was useful in a notebook and then asked.

[3.] The pages of the book rustled as they were turned.

Are the pages the sound-producing organs of a "book"? The voice Draco heard from Ian was his own, so he was curious about these androgynous voices of the world consciousness. Vibration?

"3 days? Or 3 months? It won't be 3 years, right?" Kunikida Doppo frowned. Of course, he hoped it would be as fast as possible. After all, he knew that their world could be easily destroyed.

[2,]

"???"

[1...Ah, the boss is here.] Shu's tone was strangely cheerful.

A crack suddenly appeared in the empty space and gradually opened. As the crack widened, the temperature inside the Armed Detective Agency dropped sharply.

The sounds of ghosts howling and strange screams reached everyone's ears.

Everyone except Draco subconsciously tensed up. Kunikida Doppo even had a grim expression on his face, and his hand, which was pushing up his glasses, was shaking a little.

Even though I knew it was a hellish world, this appearance...wasn't it...too...unexpected?!

They could see a dark figure behind the crack. He paused slightly as he was heading towards the Armed Detective Agency, and then seemed to throw something out gently.

Then, he continued walking out as if nothing had happened.

His figure gradually approached and became clearer in front of everyone.

Black hair, black pupils, handsome face but with a slightly menacing look due to his triple-white eyes. He was wearing a pure black yukata with dark red edges.

If it weren't for the horns on his forehead and his pointed ears, he would look no different from an ordinary person.

His height of 185cm at most makes him look more imposing.

Suddenly, a scream was heard from the other side of the crack, and then it quickly fell into silence.

Gui Deng walked out of the crack as if nothing had happened. He heard a sound of breaking air behind him. He raised his hand to catch the mace flying rapidly from the gradually disappearing crack, then stood in front of everyone and greeted them politely.

"Hello everyone, I think you already know about our existence. I am Kizuna, the assistant officer of King Yama." His gaze first rested on the "book", then he looked around and nodded slightly.

Draco felt that Gui Deng's gaze stayed on him for a long time, but Draco knew that there was only curiosity in that look, so he didn't care.

He was very interested in the ghost lights themselves.

Draco knew of Hozuki. He was the protagonist of an anime called Hozuki no Chiraku. That was a long time ago, and Harry and the others hadn't seen it yet.

Hozuki is a sadistic ghost who is the first assistant of King Yama, the actual ruler of hell, and the most cursed ghost in hell.

A perfectionist workaholic with a brilliant mind and drive. He loves animals and exotic plants, is gentle with children, and treats women with a respectful, gentlemanly attitude. He's also an unintentionally sadistic person.

The name "Ghost Lantern" was given by King Yama, because Ghost Lantern was an orphan named "Ding" in his previous life. He was sacrificed to death by the villagers who prayed for rain, and was possessed by ghost fire and became a ghost. Therefore, the "fire" part was added next to "Ding" to become Ghost Lantern.

In the Age of the Gods, when Izanami ruled the underworld, a small village in the present world suffered from a long drought. The villagers decided to offer a human sacrifice to pray for rain. Ding, an outsider and an orphan, was chosen by the villagers as the living sacrifice.

Although Din calmly accepted his execution, he still felt a strong resentment for a moment, attracting the will-o'-the-wisp nearby.

The will-o'-the-wisp attached itself to Ding's body, turning him into a young ghost, who was then led to the underworld by the wood spirit.

Not long after, Ding met Yama, who had not yet become the King of Yama, who came to collect public opinion. Ding proposed the suggestion of dividing the area to govern Huangquan, which was appreciated by Yama.

After that, great changes took place in the other world, and Yama, who proposed the proposal, ascended the throne as King Yama in accordance with public opinion.

Hozuki went to China to learn about the judicial system. After returning to work as a jailer, he was accidentally appreciated by King Yama and recommended as an assistant officer.

Hozuki "persuaded" the former assistant officer Izanami-no-no-Mikoto to retire, and succeeded King Yama as the first assistant officer. Since then, the governance of hell has made great progress.

Draco felt a little sorry and really wanted to take the ghost lantern back to show it to some Grim Reaper who was not doing his job and running a funeral home.

Look at them, and then look at you! You don't do anything serious all day long, and all you do is flirt with a married man!

"Wow..." Edogawa Ranpo looked at Hozuki, then at Draco, and sighed. When Hozuki's gaze swept over him, he subconsciously wanted to hide behind Fukuzawa Yukichi.

"Mr. Edogawa," Hozuki's cold voice stopped Edogawa Ranpo in his tracks. He instinctively knew this wasn't a call for him. "And Mrs. Edogawa, are you two interested in becoming jailers in Hell?"

"Mom and Dad..." Edogawa Ranpo saw that Hozuki's gaze lingered on his side, and subconsciously reached out to touch him, thinking that he would get nothing like before.

However, his hand stopped in mid-air, and he couldn't stop shaking slightly.

There was a cool touch under his hand, as if someone was holding his hand, wanting to tell him that they were there.

The ghost lamp swept across the people in the room, and after thinking for a moment, it still revealed some breath of hell.

It's not that I'm soft-hearted, it's just some small preferential treatment for the jailer who may become a capable assistant.

There are so many good talents here. What's the point of going to heaven and just eating and drinking all day? It's better to let them shine in hell!

As for the idea that people from the other world and people in this world cannot form bonds? Tsk, the rules set by a bunch of bored people with nothing to do have no binding force on him.

The temperature, which had been gradually warming up after the crack closed, suddenly became even colder than before. However, after all, most of the people present were people with special abilities, and Draco and Harry quickly cast a heat preservation spell.

They were all attracted by the pale blue light in the air, and watched as the light gathered into human figures before their eyes.

"Dad, Mom!" Edogawa Ranpo couldn't help but throw himself into the arms of the couple who were looking at him with a smile.

This embrace is not warm but rather cold, but the always pampered detective feels that nothing can replace this embrace.

Yosano Akiko couldn't help trembling as she looked at the man in military uniform in front of her.

She didn't dare look into Tachihara Michikura's eyes, afraid of seeing...resentment.

"Ms. Angel, I'm sorry." Tachihara Michikura looked at Yosano Akiko's escape with guilt.

Yosano Akiko looked up in panic, but she didn't expect to hear accusations and resentment, but a sincere apology.

"I...I made you suffer so much..." At first she was full of hope, hoping that she could help her country and the soldiers who were so kind to her.

She didn't know that living through this war, with no end in sight, would cause them so much pain...

"No, we are all very grateful that you saved our lives time and time again. It's just that we are not strong and have long been numb to this war."

Tachihara Michikura shook his head. He knew it was not Yosano Akiko's fault, but this corrupt country that ordered them to charge again and again.

What he regretted most was leaving such a last message.

They hurt the angel lady who was originally cherished and protected by them.

"Of those words, only the 'apology' is genuine. The rest is just the incompetent anger of an incompetent person. I hope Miss Angel can forget about them."

His sincerity and sadness were clearly seen by Yosano Akiko.

Yosano Akiko was silent for a long time, tears in her eyes, and finally she smiled with relief.

"Oh, by the way, Miss Angel, I have a younger brother who always thought..."

"Do you have a younger brother? Have you been following me all this time?"

"I did visit my parents and younger brother..." But compared to that, he was more worried about Yosano Akiko...

Tachihara Michikura looked at Yosano Akiko with tenderness, as she seemed to have regained her former mischievous self.

Patiently answering any of her wild questions.

Just like every break before, he and his comrades gathered around little Yosano Akiko, listening to her talk about her dreams...

When Nakajima Atsushi saw the orphanage director he had been thinking about, he panicked and was afraid of being scolded.

but.

"Atsuya has become a reliable adult."

Nakajima Atsushi thought his tears had dried up long ago, but they hadn't.

When his eyes became blurry, he realized belatedly that he had been crying.

The Akutagawa siblings also met their parents, whose memories had gradually faded.

As expected, Ryunosuke Akutagawa was severely scolded.

The same goes for the Tanizaki siblings, except their parents are just like them... a little peculiar...

Kunikida Doppo was rarely afraid, but his eyes were red.

"Six, six treasures..."

The ghosts you are afraid of are the people that others miss day and night but cannot see.

Fukuzawa Yukichi and Oda Sakunosuke were always alone, so they just watched the scene quietly without disturbing anyone.

Dazai Osamu started chatting with Hozuki. He openly held Nakahara Chuuya's hand and looked at him with tenderness.

How wonderful! Because of his arrangement, Qihui and Rimbaud did not die.

I won't miss these guys anymore...

The knowledgeable Hozuki could naturally see the affection between them.

He also didn't say anything about the difference between humans and gods.

First of all, they are both human beings now. Secondly, this man named "Dazai Osamu" will definitely go to hell after his death. Being able to bring a god to hell at the same time is simply killing two birds with one stone.

Not to mention that Chuuya Nakahara also had lives under his command. Even if he was carrying the divine command, according to the crappy rules of heaven, he could only be judged by God.

At most, he will be imprisoned in heaven.

Moreover, Hozuki has no interest in meddling in other people's affairs. Even if King Yama and Yamata no Orochi are in love, it has nothing to do with him.

At most, when he is slacking off because of love, I will give him a good lesson.

No one noticed the disappearance of Draco and the others and the "book".

Maybe.

But Draco and the others had already done enough, and the rest was just a matter between the two worlds.

They can still cope with these.

No need to say goodbye, because we will meet again.

Only Gui Deng looked at the place where Draco had just been with some regret.

He was very curious about Draco. He couldn't see through Draco, but he could see the dense causal lines on his body.

Moreover, Izanami specifically warned him not to offend her, which made him even more curious.

Pity.....
