Another World Bookstore in Yokohama

"What do you want to express?" Sakaguchi Ango held the document in his hand, frowned and looked at the girl with high ponytail in front of him - Tsujimura Fukatsuki.

"I, I think it's better to take Mr. Ayatsuji over first!" the woman said loudly.

"Oh." Sakaguchi Ango sighed helplessly, looking at Tsujimura Mitsuki with tired eyes.

Tsujimura Fukatsuki lowered his head, nervously listening to the other party's question as his superior.

"You juniors are always in a panic. Ayatsuji pedestrians don't want to worry, and you don't need to worry. And this cherry blossom incident has nothing to do with Ayatsuji pedestrians."

"That's not what I mean," Tsujimura Mizuki couldn't help but defend himself, "I believe in Mr. Ayatsuji's ability, but no matter how you look at it, Mr. Ayatsuji is a particularly important figure in the Supernatural Secret Service. I don't think it's very appropriate to let it wander outside like this."

"But he doesn't want to come back." Ango Sakaguchi blocked the opponent's mouth with one sentence.

Tsujimura Fukatsuki pursed her lips and instantly became quiet.

Ango Sakaguchi looked at the woman's expression, and said: "You also understand that the Supernatural Secret Service Division has never been able to truly control the supernatural power of Ayatsuji Xingren. If he really doesn't want to come back, none of us will be able to stop him." He catches."

"..." The woman lowered her head.

"but,"

Suddenly there was a turning point, Tsujimura Mizuki raised his head strangely.

Ango Sakaguchi continued: "I heard that he got something from the bookstore owner - a ring that can control the release of abilities."

Hearing this, the woman opened her eyes wide in surprise.

"Well then!"

Seeing the other party's thoughts, Ango Sakaguchi twitched his mouth, "But Ayatsuji said that it is not a ring to restrain the direction, but an adjustment, or a reserve device. If Ayatsuji pedestrians want to kill us, it is still very easy, even It's easier."

"So, that ring."

"It can't be picked," Ango Sakaguchi interrupted, "I heard from a friend who knew something about the inside story that the pedestrians of Ayatsuji knew the criminal records of some people with supernatural powers in Yokohama and even the world through some channels when we didn't know it."

Tsujimura Mizuki's pupils shrunk.

"If you take off that ring, only Ayatsuji pedestrians think for a second, and the consequences will be disastrous."

***

American morning time, in a coffee shop.

The woman with brown hair and the man with short blond hair sat facing each other, and beside him was a man with long bangs who had little sense of presence.

"It's really a rare visitor. I didn't expect Louisa to return to the United States." John said with his chest in his arms.

"Well, if Lord Francis doesn't come back." Alcott pursed his lips and said.

"It's really loyal."

"I probably don't know where to go, I..."

"Anyway, I heard an interesting thing." Taking a sip of coffee, John said.

The voice suddenly became low and deep: "Yesterday when you flew to the airport, some subordinates said that they saw a little girl beside Francis."

"Tell me, Alcott, who is that?"

Edgar Allan Poe beside him sighed, "It's so fierce, Mr. John."

Neither of them paid much attention to what this man said. Alcott was speechless for a while, as if he was thinking about something.Finally she said with some hesitation, "That's the boss' daughter."

The two men beside him fell silent, Poe stopped turning the pages of the book in his hands, John's expression suddenly became dazed, and then he narrowed his head slightly and looked down at the coffee cup in front of him.

Although he really likes to stay in a quiet space, Alcott really can't stand this weird quietness.

She said, "Actually, I think you should have thought of it."

In fact, this is not very good.

John suddenly laughed hoarsely: "Finally, finally—"

"John..." Sensing that the other party's emotions were not right, Alcott called out the man's name.

The man stopped his ugly laughter, but said in a hoarse voice: "It stands to reason that I should congratulate, but..."

"Then congratulations?" Mark Twain who appeared suddenly said with a smile, and then covered his mouth when he saw John's strange expression.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing..." Shaking his head, the sober man waved his hand.

"By the way, why did you come here?"

"Ah, I just found out yesterday that Mr. Francis is back, and today you are all together again. I thought you had a party and forgot about me."

"Party?" John squinted.

"What, are you really going to do it!?"

The other three looked up at John.Alcott was curious, Poe was bewildered, Mark Twain was expecting.

John snorted.

"That's what you said, of course!"

"Wow!"

"Oh, a party..." Poe groaned inwardly.

It's so troublesome.... My generation may be left alone...

But it's not a bad thing anyway, and it's still the previous boss.

"Then I'll ask Lord Francis for instructions later." Alcott opened his seat and stood up.

"Well, please, Miss Louisa~" Mark Twain said with a smile.

"but,"

The orange-haired man came over and pressed Alcott's shoulder, met the woman's strange eyes, and said, "Let's finish this cup of coffee first, it's not a lady's behavior to waste~"

"Oh...."

Armed Detective Agency.

"Huh ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

"Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Hahahahahahaha"

Limbs were fixed on the table, Tanizaki Junichiro let out a strange and loud laugh from time to time.

Atsushi Nakajima, who was watching from the side, let out a long breath, turned his head and stared blankly at Akiko Yosano, "When will it end?"

He was the one who controlled this man.

He's about to collapse along the way!

"About half an hour." Yosano Akiko said, "Or,"

"or?"

"Let him enjoy my superpower or something." After speaking, the woman smiled.

"But forget it," Yosano Akiko said, looking down at the man on the table with a strange expression, "let him feel the pain right now as punishment for attacking Naomi-chan."

Osamu Dazai stood beside the table at some point, but he didn't reach out to touch the man's ability, "That's right, Tanizaki-kun who hurt Naomi-chan's body and mind must be punished!"

Kunikida Doppo coldly interrupted the man, "And you, Dazai. Where were you when Kyogoku Natsuhiko was arrested?"

"It's clearly agreed that we will be together when the time comes..."

"It's useless to say more now." Edogawa Ranpo said while sitting on the table beside him, biting the lollipop in his mouth.

"As Mr. Ranpo said." Said Yosano Akiko.

"..." Osamu Dazai lowered his head slightly, and waited for his verdict.

Edogawa Ranpo snorted twice: "So, Dazai will be punished to tidy up my room for a week, and prepare enough rough snacks for Ranpo-sama every day!"

"?" Osamu Dazai blinked.

"Ah——" Osamu Dazai sighed.

"Master Ranbu, how bad is it!"

...

"It looks pretty good." Yosano Akiko stood aside and said with a smile.

Atsushi Nakajima, who was trying to stop the chaos, looked up blankly, "Huh?"

"Dazai didn't even say no."

"so!"

"They're just playing around, they're quite happy~"

"Oh...."

Atsushi Nakajima suddenly felt as if he understood.

"It's just..." Yosano Akiko said again.

"Just?" Atsushi Nakajima looked up strangely.

"Kunikida-kun is about to explode."

It has to be said that Osamu Dazai and Edogawa running around in the room together completely stepped on Kunikida Doppo's irritable bottom line, and after enduring it for 5 minutes.

The so-called do not perish in silence, but perish in silence.

Kunikida Dopō pushed Osamu Dazai down on the desk, and when the other side blinked at him with big beautiful eyes, he said grimly, "Be quiet, or work!"

Then he stood up, and the man said with a benevolent face: "It's time for dinner, it's rare for a big event to be completed, let's go out and have a delicious meal."

"Let Dazai stay at the detective agency, anyway, there are cans in the refrigerator."

"What do you think?"

The rest of the detective agency looked at each other, and finally nodded silently.

It also happened that Osamu Dazai stayed to watch Junichiro Tanizaki.

...

In the detective agency where everyone left, Osamu Dazai looked at Junichiro Tanizaki who was twitching on the table, with a strange arc on his mouth.

"I'm sorry, Tanizaki-kun."

"I trust you will forgive me—"

The bell outside is like the symphony in his heart, light and joyful~
