"Dun Jun, I'm late today!"

When Atsushi Nakajima opened the door and entered the Armed Detective Agency, a familiar frivolous voice came from the sofa in front.

"Mr. Dazai, I'm not late. It's exactly eight o'clock." Atsushi Nakajima subconsciously glanced at the wall clock on the wall, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

"Are you stepping on the spot? Atsushi-kun was led badly by Kunikida-kun!"

"Who is the least qualified to say that others are late—" Atsushi Nakajima didn't dare to say such words.

This is not because Dazai Osamu is very dignified, but because the person lying on the sofa is not a member of the official armed detective agency.

Although Mr. Dazai may be the strongest detective here besides Mr. Ranpo, after all, he is just a 'non-staff member' who skips work from time to time to find friends to play with.

Speaking of Mr. Dazai's job——

"Well, Principal Erasmus asked me to tell you that the person who urged the manuscript has gone to him. If you fill in his address next time..." Atsushi Nakajima walked to the sofa and said softly to Osamu Dazai.

"That's it?" Dazai Osamu showed a very interested expression.

"Exchange information about all the girls you've provoked. Add your current address and phone number." Atsushi Nakajima said with some embarrassment.

The person lying on the sofa sat up suddenly.

"It's too much. Ton-kun, you won't help others—" Dazai skillfully conjured up a pitiful expression.

this……

Atsushi Nakajima was indeed hesitant.

The principal Erasmus who told him to pass the message and Mr. Dazai in front of him are people he respects very much.

A year ago, the director of his orphanage was taken away because of an anonymous report of child abuse.Since it is a private orphanage, the solution adopted by the above is to divert the orphans in the hospital to several other orphanages.Atsushi Nakajima was temporarily left as a witness because he was the one who suffered the most. He was not transferred to another hospital immediately.

As a result, his supernatural power exploded on the night of the full moon, and it was precisely because Dazai Osamu eliminated his supernatural power in time that he prevented Tiger from causing more damage and allowed him to re-understand himself.

"Are you 16 years old? Forget it, let that person deal with it." That's what Osamu Dazai said at the time.

He was then handed over to 'the man', the headmaster Erasmus.

A life unimaginable even in dreams begins.Go to school and study normally.No one discriminates, hurts him.

Atsushi Nakajima was even honored for his hard work.

And his little 'furry' problem is not a problem because the principal can 'put him down' at will.

About two months ago, Erasmus had a long talk with him.

"Dun, I think you'd better try to master your supernatural ability." The principal said, "'Tiger' is very powerful and is a part of you."

That is sincere advice.

Atsushi Nakajima couldn't help but nodded in agreement.So the next day he got an extra job as an 'extracurricular practice'.

That's right, the Armed Detective Agency.

There are so many weird people here that Dun feels that he is the most normal one, and has since been reduced to a rant.

And the image of Dazai, who rescued him a year ago, with a "cool and heroic figure under the moon", has gradually been replaced by the image of an elder who likes to skip work and is approachable.

"Dazai, stop bullying Atsushi."

A plain voice from the desk next to him interrupted Atsushi Nakajima's memories.

"Since Odasaku said so, then I'll let it go." Osamu Dazai immediately put away the acting on his face.

Ah, Mr. Oda Sakunosuke, the 'Dazai Osamu expert' in the company.

He is obviously a bestseller but came to be a detective because of lack of inspiration. He is one-third of the reason why Armed Detective Society is edited for daily visits.

By the way, the remaining two-thirds are Mr. Dazai and Mr. Ranpo.

Mr. Kunikida is processing documents, Mr. Ranpo is rushing to draft, and there are strange voices in the infirmary...

Today's Armed Detective Agency is as vibrant as ever.

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

It's two o'clock in the afternoon.Knock on the door three times at a constant speed.

The man who pushed the door and walked in was 1.8 meters tall, but he looked extremely thin, with black hair thrown back, pale face, and sunken eye sockets. Although his expression was indifferent, his brows seemed to be frowning forever, and his expression had been fixed on that expression.

He moved in like a walking cloud of sorrow, making the voices of the members in charge of the reception softer.

"Are you here for the commission? The scope of business of the Armed Detective Agency is different from that of ordinary detective agencies..."

The commune's voice ends with a nod and a look of sadness in those gray-purple eyes.

"Money is not a problem." He began with this sentence.

But what came from the voice was not the arrogance of throwing money, but a very objective indifference.

Next, he explained his entrustment.

"My name is Rainer Maria Rilke. My lover disappeared some time ago, and I need your help to find her."

It sounds like an ordinary request at first glance.

"Her name is Marina Ivanovna Tsvetaeva. I call her Musha. She is Russian and most of the time we only communicate by letter, but the letter I sent a month ago There was no reply. The next two copies I sent were simply returned.”

Sounds pretty normal up to here.

"It was hard for me to understand what happened, so I went to her address to find her, but Yelabuga was secretly blocked by the FSB*, and I couldn't go at all." Speaking of this, Rilke's eyes flickered with pain .

The room was quiet for a moment.

"Mr. Rilke, how did you find out that it was blocked by the FSB?" When others were silent because they realized that this might be a very troublesome case, Osamu Dazai asked with great interest.

Rilke raised his head and gave him a scrutiny, then returned to his original state.

"It's not a big deal. Also, the word has spread. It's said that something special happened there," he said.

"Then why did you think of entrusting Japanese detectives? And if, as you said, the area where your lover is located is blocked, then that's probably why you didn't receive a reply." Kunikida Doppo spoke this time.He never pretended to speak in situations where his clients might try to harm the agency.

It is strange enough for the Austrian to entrust the Japanese to find his lost Russian girlfriend.

Rilke was not shaken by being questioned.He just looked more miserable.

"When I was at a loss in Russia, someone asked me to come to Yokohama to find the Armed Detective Agency. He said that you are the only one who can help me find Mu Xia." There was a sense of collapse in his voice.

After that, he didn't answer no matter what he asked, but murmured "please help me" repeatedly.

When everyone didn't know whether to forcibly see the guests off, and Osamu Dazai just folded his arms and smiled, suddenly a sentence from the side changed the situation.

"Do you want the whole detective agency to help you find someone?"

Ranpo Edogawa turned his seat to face Rilke, and asked from a long distance away.

"No." Rilke actually answered normally.

Edogawa Ranpo took a lollipop and stuffed it into his mouth very leisurely, and asked the next sentence with some ambiguity: "Then do you need me to find someone for you?"

Friendly and proactive unlike your usual Detective.

"No need." Rilke replied.

"That's fine. We'll take over the commission." Edogawa simply ended the conversation, "You can go."

In dumbfounded silence, Rilke nodded slowly and left the detective agency.

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

"Mr. Ranpo, do you already know what's going on?"

After Rilke left, Atsushi Nakajima couldn't help asking.As his words came out, many ears in the room turned secretly.

"I don't know." The person who had placed high hopes replied simply.

"What!" Several surprised shouts sounded together.

Ranpo Edogawa took out an envelope from the drawer of his desk, and said unhurriedly: "Next, the president and I will go to the United States to participate in the detective competition for at least two weeks. So if you have any questions, please You should ask Dazai, he arrived so early today to wait for this commission."

The destination of the line of sight shifted.

"Has Mr. Ranpo confirmed that Po-kun will be in America?" Dazai asked with a smile.

Edogawa made a 'confirmation' gesture towards him.

The next moment, Osamu Dazai sighed pretentiously, and then began to explain.

"Actually, something special happened in Yelabuga. According to leaked information, the address of Mr. Rilke's lover is at the center of the incident. And the person who asked him to come to the Armed Detective Agency The person is most likely Fyodor the Demon. Therefore, this case is not just a request from Rilke."

"The Supernatural Secret Service Division also hopes to obtain more detailed information." Dazai spread his hands.

Only at this time, everyone will remember that the person in front of them is actually a senior official of the Supernatural Secret Service Division.

"So, are we equivalent to being invited into the game?" Oda Sakunosuke broke the silence.

"Although I really want to say yes, I must admit that the current information is insufficient. After all, judging from the rumors about Yela Buga, it doesn't look like a demon." Dazai said, "And send Mr. Ranpo out The bureau's methods are also very straightforward, and the opponent's position is unclear."

It will make Osamu Dazai admit that he can't see clearly...

Was that entrustment really free from hostility?

What happened to Yela Buga?

Moreover, excluding Mr. Ranpo, the strongest detective in the world——

"Dazai, you should hurry up and tell them why the Supernatural Secret Service Division attaches so much importance to this commission." Edogawa Ranpo said.

The detective's emerald green eyes were wide open.

"Okay, let's disrespect the procedure a little bit." Although Osamu Dazai's tone was relaxed, his expression became serious.

"About half a month ago, a piece of news spread in the other world - there were living undead in a small town near Yelabuga, and the number was not one or two. What Rilke said was right, The FSB did blockade the whole of Yelabuga, but that was because too many people rushed to find the town."

"And no one is ever heard of leaving there."
