After "Erasmus" washed Yumeno Kusaku's black mud to the level of ordinary people, he felt the stronger atmosphere of "wanting to play with everyone" around the child, and decisively sent him to elementary school. up.

It's not that Chizhi already trusts Yumeno Hisaku's level of mental stability, but Chizhi trusts Yumeno's ability trigger mechanism.

Every morning before going out, check whether the child has any prohibited items, and check whether the child has any extra wounds after returning home at night.

Confiscate the old doll, but allow the new one with him, and remind him that Erasmus won't buy him a second one if he breaks it.

He was required to write a diary every day, and then secretly compared it with the school's surveillance.

……

In short, under the multiple means, Yumeno Hisaku lived a relatively normal elementary school life, and his special temperament that could not be concealed was not too conspicuous among a bunch of children from the slums.

As for Akutagawa Ryunosuke, even though the principal didn't pay extra attention on the surface, he quickly became famous in the school.

Because of its ferocious posture and the nature of a good student.

The sharp temperament of being a "mad dog that doesn't bark" seems to be mixed with the literary style absorbed from classical literature to form a new characteristic. When Akutagawa reads and writes quietly, he looks like a reserve writer.

Chi Zhi, who watched silently from behind, has a +20 favorability with the self-reliant Akutagawa-kun, and is determined to stock him, except for fine-tuning the content of the Mandarin course again and occasionally smuggling a few novels from the third dimension towards him (of course anonymously and Mixed selection), no other intervention was done.

When the "Erasmus" line plan entered a period of stable development, "Dante" on the other side was facing the consequences of his own fire.

Time went back to the time when "Erasmus" had just arrived in Yokohama a few months ago.

"Dante" is in the gap period between Oda Sakunosuke finishing the first article and starting to write the second article.

He can neither urge Oda to write a new article too much, nor can he always tease Osamu Dazai.The former is just suspicious, while the latter is directly life-threatening.

In other words, "Dante" is in a period of slack.

If "Dante" is a real person, it doesn't matter how long he hangs around Yokohama, but the problem is that this is just a vest that Akaeda made to promote the main mission.

This kind of behavior is as unforgivable as playing games to waste energy.

After Chi Zhi spent three days in emptiness, he suddenly realized what he had overlooked.

Now seems to be six years ago of the main line of Bungo Stray Dogs?In other words, those two people met this year?

'System, can you send a message to a specific target?The kind that I don't know the address and contact information? ' Chizhi began to call the system after contemplating.

[The system's built-in functions cannot meet the requirements of the host.After searching, the most suitable item is 'A Letter from a Strange Woman'. The effect is to send any information to the designated target in the form of a letter. It will be delivered regardless of the distance. If necessary, it cannot be tracked. Conditions of use Yes, the sender must be female.The price is 28 gold coins, is there any exchange? 】

Aren't he and his two vests male... Chizhi was a little speechless.

But since the system said so, there must be room for exploiting loopholes.He thought for a while, then asked, 'If my next vest is scheduled to be a woman, can I set the sender to that vest? '

Of course his third vest does not exist now, but after the existence of the future vest, the past of the vest will be automatically completed.For example, a letter is sent out right now.

[The plan is confirmed to be feasible, as long as it does not cause paradox. 】

'Then exchange it. '

The second after Chizhi confirmed, a piece of letter paper and an unused envelope appeared in front of "Dante" in the real world.He subconsciously understood how to use the props: as long as you finish writing the envelope and put it in any mailbox, the letter will appear on the target's mailbox/dining table/door insole the next day.

"Hmm, isn't this very interesting..." The young man showed a troublesome smile and began to write quickly.

A few days later, Edgar Allan Poe, who had just recovered from his disastrous defeat in the reasoning duel with Edogawa Ranpo, was about to complete a masterpiece and challenge the opponent again, and found a strange letter at his door.

It's strange because this is not his public address, but the letter is stated to be sent to him.Moreover, there is neither a stamp nor a postmark on the envelope. In short, it should not have passed through the postal system, but was placed directly at his door by hand.Surveillance video showed a nearby postman dropping the letter on the ground.

This letter may have special confusing abilities attached to it.So judged Poe, who felt an urge to open the letter as soon as he saw it.

After a series of checks to make sure there were no harmful substances on it, he decided to read the words on it by transphobing.

After all, his own ability is to let readers enter the world of novels, and it is normal to be cautious about suspicious letters.

After some operations, Poe finally saw what was written on it.

"Dear Mr. Edgar Allan Poe,

I am sorry to hear that you lost to the famous Japanese detective Ranpo Edogawa in the detective competition.Because I know something about your supernatural ability, I can roughly guess your current plan: write a very difficult mystery novel to avoid the influence of Edogawa Ranpu's supernatural ability.I am sorry to tell you that the chances of success of this plan are rather small, for no other reason than that your adversary possesses entirely different forces.Confidential broadcast: Edogawa Ranpo does not have supernatural powers, and 'hyper reasoning' is just a manifestation of extraordinary intelligence.You haven't gone too far, though, and writing is the quickest way to beat that detective.Looking forward to your public challenge in the newspapers in Japan - the showdown of mystery novels.

A certain Edgar Allan Poe reader"

The letter is very brief, but the amount of information is explosive.

Who is this 'reader'?Why does he know my supernatural power?Why did he know that Edogawa Ranpo has no different abilities?Is what he said true?What is the purpose of this letter?For a while, many questions lingered in Poe's mind.

He couldn't help tossing and turning, his heart was in a mess, and even his social phobia became serious.

However, in less than a month, "Dante" still fulfilled his wish and read Edgar Allan Poe's challenge to Edogawa Ranpo in the most widely circulated newspaper in Yokohama, that is, to compare whose mystery novel puzzles are more difficult Ingenious, it is more popular with readers, and it is a multiple-compound competition that readers discover the truth later.As a result, when Edgar Allan Poe unilaterally challenged and Edogawa Ranpo hadn't responded, the duel had spread throughout the Kanto region.

Then it is normal for Edogawa Ranpo, who has fallen into passiveness for no reason, to start losing his temper.

Originally, Ranpo recognized Edgar Allan Poe as an opponent. After all, the original work even gave the other party the praise of "No matter in the past or in the future, I was scared into a cold sweat by other detectives, only that one time."However, nowadays, it is rare for a childish detective to have the idea of ​​'I don't want to play with you' when facing an opponent who makes moves that do not follow common sense.

This idea lasted for less than half a day, because a large number of uninformed people expressed their support for Ranpo, "Come on, beat that gringo" and "Ranpo, you will definitely win" and other words, which will become "Ranpo" Adults will be the strongest even if they write mystery novels, so let's come here' declaration.

By the way, this manifesto spread quickly.

As for whether Mr. Detective has a guilty conscience behind his back, has he temporarily read the mystery novels that he used to think 'if you are satisfied with reading novels, you are not considered a detective at all', "Dante", which has only a piece of paper related to this incident, is completely different. knew.

"Dante" is reading a mystery novel written by a writer whose pen name is "Kindaichi".

Originally, it was just a temporary search for Gao Guanghui, who was associated with Luanbu after the fire, but he did not expect that the other party had actually published his work six years before the main story.

His real name is probably Masashi Yokomizo, a novelist who died in order to complete the 'ultimate mystery novel'.

The structure of the work is complete, the puzzle setting is ingenious and innovative, and the writing is excellent, making people unable to stop reading in one breath.

What a surprise.

When Chizhi evaluated the literary level of this world before, he mainly focused on pure literary works, and directly skipped the speculative novels with heavy commercial attributes.

Now it seems that not all types of works are hopeless.

After a closer look, don’t you find that there are Benge School, Biange School, New Benge School, and Social School? Many works are not inferior to the three-dimensional in terms of ingenuity.

Too.Many writers of the original reasoning department have become villains and detectives in this world (except Carl, who is a raccoon), and they all have high intelligence. Those who are still writing mystery novels use the same high IQ to create excellent novels The mysteries, which set a pretty good vibe in this area.In other fields of literature, it is not so lucky to produce excellent works simply by relying on intellectual attributes.

Now it is Edogawa Ranpo VS Edgar Allan Poe's mystery novel showdown, will there be a popular mystery novel award in the future?Chizhi couldn't help but look forward to the future optimistically.

But for now, let's look forward to what kind of works the two detectives will bring.
