After choosing a big adventure at Lupine's Bar

"So, who actually won?"

Mingyin thought, except for the Pengelie family, the other contestants had been with them before, so the winner must be one of them.

The world's No. [-] killer who claimed to be Mr. Baobao, a folklorist, stood on a high platform erected at some time, with a smirk on the corner of his mouth, and a hum of unknown meaning.

"The winner is—" He purposely slammed it, and glanced at everyone present one by one, pausing for a second on Sawada Tsunayoshi, but then left again.

"it's me."

There was silence for 3 seconds.

Then, except for Sawada Tsunayoshi and Mingyin, everyone made unbelievable voices.

"Eh--?!"

Among them, Yu Zichai held a crudely shaped clay puppet in one hand, knelt on the ground, and grabbed the ground with his hands, "Damn——!!! Is that old man really lying to me, woo, my budget..."

Mingyin: No, although you seem to have searched for it seriously, there was a fundamental mistake from the very beginning! ! !

Reborn frowned, taking it for granted.

"What's the matter? I didn't say I wasn't one of the contestants, did I?"

Prison Temple was the most dissatisfied with this, "But, Mr. Li Baobao, it is clearly the Judaimu..."

"Don't worry, young man," he pushed his cosplay glasses pretentiously, "Aren't I going to explain why I won?"

Hearing the words, Prison Temple seemed to be enlightened, and bowed with his hands close to the seam of his trousers.

"It's because I was too thoughtless, as expected of Mr. Li Baobao."

No, Prisoner, that's Reborn!

Sawada Tsunayoshi complained in his heart.

Reborn coughed symbolically twice.

"Mr. Tsunayoshi Sawada proposed the idea that 'Araba's real body is a huge explosion caused by a laboratory error, and the hallucination of flames under extreme panic'."

"The evidence is..." Reborn showed the internal photos of the abandoned laboratory on his mobile phone and related news reports from 11 years ago. It is very suspicious that the experimental base in the concession is not mentioned at all, as if it did not exist in the first place."

"That's pretty close to the truth, but not enough," Reborn said, putting his phone away. "What follows is my side of the story."

"According to Mr. Sawada's inference, according to my field investigation and inquiries of local residents, I found that there has been an ancient worship of Arabatu here for a long time, which can be traced back to the period of indigenous culture before the formation of Japan..."

"...long-term high-speed life...post-war shadows...special areas...reshaping beliefs..."

"Coincidentally, with the long-term development and changes of myths and legends, in the local area, Huangbatu is often associated with elements such as flames that are rooted in primitive genes, where fear and hope coexist."

"This may be because the original myths endowed Rage God with the deeds of 'repelling beasts and guarding the clan land', and people gradually added powerful attributes such as "flame", "fireball", and "sun" to it. So far, this It’s a statement that the academic community agrees with.”

"Then, because of the big bang that made human power seem so small, it destroyed the building, and also destroyed the original concept built by the local people, so it goes back to the worship of the god of desolation."

As Reborn said, he moved a step aside, revealing the special advisor who had been standing by behind him before.

"After the appraisal of our specially hired experts, my explanation is closer to the truth."

Mr. Special Counsel held on to the brim of his hat with one hand, exuding the helplessness of being forced to put a duck on the shelves and not being able to refuse.

He took the microphone, bent one elbow, hung up the jacket he had taken off, tried the tone, and looked serious.

"Yes, as an expert..." He said the latter word with great difficulty and shame, but he finished it successfully, "I think Mr. Li Baobao's answer is closer to the truth."

Mingyin watched this scene from the audience, and couldn't help but feel sympathy and love for this so-called "Mr. Special Advisor".

This person is the real body of "Huang Ba Tu", right?It exudes a black-red "ki" that is different from humans.

He turned his head to look at Sawada Tsunayoshi, and his eyes met.

They seemed to be connected to the brainwaves for an instant, and they made a movement of zipping the zipper on their mouths together.

"Then, this prize belongs to me."

Reborn showed everyone the extraordinarily beautifully wrapped gift box that had been sitting nearby.

"Clang, clang, clang—"

Inside the huge gift box, there was only a thin ticket-like piece of paper.

It says "Chinese Cuisine All-You-Can-Eat Coupon", turn it over, and on the back it says "Users of this coupon will enjoy Sawada Tsunayoshi's treat to Yokohama Chinatown Cuisine".

Reborn said generously: "It's not good for me to eat alone, let's go together."

"Hey, do we count too?" Sakura looked left and right, excited and uneasy.

"That's right, he said everyone." Miko Chai said uncertainly.

"That means, you can eat whatever you want?!" Nozaki was very excited and gestured with his fists.

"Oh, you can eat all-you-can-eat Xiao Long Bao!"

"Haha, I didn't expect Tsuna to invite guests. Is it a surprise?" Yamamoto patted Tsunayoshi Sawada on the shoulder, showing a hearty smile.

"Hey, you guys! This is Judaime's treat, please be a little more polite!"

Sawada Tsunayoshi was shaken by Yamamoto with a numb face, and finally couldn't help it, and complained.

"No, no, no! Let's not talk about why you think Chinese food is equal to all-you-can-eat xiao long bao. Reborn, you made up your mind to treat me from the very beginning! No matter who gets the answer right, you will win in the end Right?! And…”

He took a deep breath and roared.

"It was obvious from the beginning that the Fengji Foundation was sponsored, why did I pay for it in the end? What did he sponsor? Is this a temporary platform?!"

After speaking, as if he had exhausted his energy for a year, he coughed dryly while covering his throat, panting on the spot.

Nozaki, Sakura, and Mikoshiba watched Tsunayoshi Sawada's sonorous and forceful complaints, and they were shocked, and gave him the thumbs up at the same time.

"Ah..." Oda Saku was completely out of the matter, and suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Mingyin looked up at him.

"No, this person..." Odasaku indicated with his eyes, "He is a candidate for the cadre of the port Mafia, and he will probably officially become a cadre in the near future."

"That is to say, high-level..." Mingyin thought again, no, "Are you a subordinate of his department? Why did you suddenly mention this."

"No, I can't be lower-level. Usually, I hardly have the chance to meet characters of this level. It doesn't matter at all..." Even when he was saying this, his tone was indifferent, just stating the facts. "He's my friend's partner."

"...?"

"You met that day, Dazai."

what.

When Odasaku said that, Akine remembered.

I remembered something that was obviously very important, but it was okay to leave it alone, so I kept putting it on hold until I completely forgot about it.

Osamu Dazai and Osamu Dazai.

And, why did this Osamu Dazai look interested in him before.

While everyone was thinking about it, Mr. Nakaya Nakahara, the special advisor, greeted Reborn, jumped off the stage, and walked to the other side.

Seeing the dark figure in front of him, he clicked his tongue unhappily and walked forward quickly.

"Hello! Where were you before? Suddenly lost contact!" Zhong Ye frowned and asked angrily.

"Huh—? I left a note, obviously you were careless and didn't see it!"

Osamu Dazai turned the villain to file a complaint first.

"Ah?" The honest man was also confused, but he still fumbled around his body, and finally found a note in the pocket of the coat he took off.

[I have some personal matters, work and reports are all up to you. 】

After seeing clearly, the anger value soared.

Akane covered her ears to block Dazai Osamu's manic laughter and Nakahara Nakaya's furious roar, only after comparing them did she know it was good.

Mr. Roommate:? ? ?

In Chinatown, after eating out Tsunayoshi Sawada's wallet, everyone went back to their homes with unfulfilled desires.

"Thank you for your care."

Odasaku's polite thanks and the embarrassment of letting a minor treat him are the few consolations that Sawada Tsunayoshi has.

Although he still packed several boxes to take home.

When walking to the entrance of Chinatown, Mingyin answered the phone.

It was Jun Xun calling on April [-]st.

"Hi, I'm Mingyin."

[Mingyin-jun, you said before that you planned to buy a house and convert it into a studio, and move out, right? 】

"Yes, after all, if you usually live in the store, it will be inconvenient to communicate with assistants and editors."

[In this case, you can go to this address to have a look... I think it will be a good choice for you. 】

"……?OK."

The next day, after visiting the listings introduced on April [-]st, Mingyin felt that there was nothing wrong with it, and Mingyin, who had also greeted her future neighbors downstairs, inexplicably sat at the same seat in Lupin's bar again.

On the right are Oda Saku, Dazai Osamu, and Sakaguchi Ango.

But this time, the wheel of truth or dare is pointed at Sakunosuke Oda.

"Speak the truth." Odasaku said decisively.

"Haha, Odasaku is an honest man, Yuri-kun should have a lot to ask, right? Come on, we'll give you this opportunity, ask quickly. Right, Ango?"

"Yes..." Ango Sakaguchi pushed his glasses helplessly.

Mingyin swallowed her saliva to relieve the tension in her heart.

"That..." he tentatively asked, "Why did Mr. Odasaku say, 'I will catch you' that day? I want to know what you thought at that time."

Oda Saku heard the words and fell into memories.

"I just thought that was probably the 'yes' answer for you."
