In the blink of an eye, Yokohama's clock reached the night time line again.
I walked on the street, watching people noisy and harmonious, and I felt a different kind of feeling in my heart.
There is envy, there is bitterness, there is joy, there is sadness.
Although I can't play with them, just watching, I seem to have become one of them.
Jingle Bell--
At this time, the sudden ringing of my cell phone brought me back to reality from my beautiful fantasy.
I was startled and started to flutter around.
"Moxi Moxi!"
After I connected the phone, before I could say anything, I heard an energetic greeting from the other side of the phone.
"Ah, Mr. Dazai." I greeted.
I didn't expect Dazai Osamu to call me personally. My mind suddenly went blank and I didn't know what to say.
"I heard from Kunikida that little Si Ye is worried about his physical strength!" On the other end of the phone was Dazai Osamu's teasing voice.
"Ah, yes!" I responded.
Is it possible that Kunikida asked Dazai Osamu to be my teacher? I thought so, and felt a little excited in my heart.
"Come on then, I'll wait for you at the detective agency~"
After saying that, Osamu Dazai hung up the phone.
I stood there with a smile on my face. I never thought that Dazai Osamu would be willing to accept me as his disciple. I am simply the happiest person in the world.
I no longer coveted this bustling place and went to the detective agency alone.
When I got to the detective agency, I knocked on the door.
After a while, there was no response.
Maybe Osamu Dazai hasn't arrived yet, I thought, and opened the door.
I walked into the house and sat on the sofa to rest for a while and recuperate my strength.
But before I sat down on the sofa, I heard a faint moan from behind me.
I was startled and stood up suddenly.
I slowly walked around behind the sofa, squinted my eyes, and could vaguely see a group of things moving.
"Ah~ Mr. Si Ye~" After the thing saw me, it shouted aggrievedly.
I was stunned. Why did this voice sound so familiar? It was like...
"Mr. Dazai!" After I recognized him, I shouted in surprise.
I took a few steps forward, stretched out my hand and pulled him out.
"Ah, my waist..." Osamu Dazai stood up and stretched his waist exaggeratedly.
"Mr. Dazai, why are you trapped in the gap between the sofa?" I asked.
"Because of this book," Dazai answered, holding up the "Complete Suicide Manual" in his hand, with an extremely serious expression. "He said that as long as a person is stuck in the gap for a certain period of time, he can die."
"Ah..." I opened my mouth and sighed unconsciously.
"But I didn't expect that I would have no other effects except waist and back pain..." Dazai shouted, his tone was extremely sad. For those who didn't know, he might have thought that he had experienced a terrifying separation between life and death.
"Maybe Dazai-san can try something else," I said, half joking.
"You're right, Si Ye-kun, you are indeed the person I like!" Osamu Dazai kept tapping me on the shoulder.
"Then Mr. Dazai," I asked, "did you call me today just to save you?"
"Si Guoyi, you are worthy of being Si Ye-kun!" Osamu Dazai gave me a thumbs up.
The corners of my mouth twitched, and I thought in my mind:
As expected of Dazai-senpai who "committed suicide refreshingly, brightly and energetically"!
After walking out of the detective agency building, my stomach made a sudden sound.
I touched my belly. I experienced so many things today that I forgot to eat dinner.
It just so happens that I made some money from today's commission, so I can treat myself to a nice meal and reward myself.
I randomly picked a shop with a small family but looked pretty good and walked in.
I don’t really like crowded restaurants. Although the food may be good, the environment is too noisy and makes me feel restless.
Went into the store and ordered a tonkotsu ramen. While I was sitting and waiting, I was not idle either, looking around restlessly with my eyes.
At this time, I noticed a young man in the corner.
He wore an old-style black hat on his reddish-orange hair and a dark suit. His elegant eating posture added a sense of elegance to the entire store.
My heart moved.
I walked around the streets for a long time today and I have never seen anyone dressed like this.
One thing worth mentioning is that after traveling to Wenye's world, everyone here is not as they appear in the anime. But everyone seems closer to reality, so sometimes I can't tell who is who.
But even so, I can still make a rough guess.
For example, the young man in front of me, if I guess correctly, is probably the gravity controller Nakahara Chuuya.
After a while, my meal was served, but he finished it.
I watched silently as he paid and left. He probably noticed my gaze and turned around to glare at me fiercely.
I quickly lowered my head and complained to myself: Zhongyuan Zhongya is really short!
But if I could bump into Nakahara Chuuya here, there would be a lot of mafia around.
Although I had just joined the detective agency, a lot of my information was not yet in the hands of the mafia. But if I bump into the mafia and Ryunosuke Akutagawa who arrested me that day, I will really be unable to eat and walk away.
I looked out through the glass window and found that Zhongyuan Zhong had already disappeared into the crowd. There was still a bustling scene outside the window, and when I looked around, I didn't see those weirdos in suits and ties.
I lowered my head and continued eating my dinner.
Maybe he just came to have a simple meal, I thought.
Halfway through the meal, the drink accidentally spilled all over me. I called my boss and asked him to hand me a dozen tissues.
But who would have thought that the other party was silent for a long time.
I felt a little strange, so I walked to the cashier to find out.
As I walked to the checkout counter, I noticed an open letter on the front desk.
It can be seen from the extremely irregular opening of the envelope that the person who tore the letter was extremely panicked.
Beep, beep, beep——
At the same time, I heard a beep behind the cash register.
Suddenly a word came to my mind - time bomb.
I wish it wasn't so, a cold sweat broke out on my back.
I stuck my head out and took a look.
Unfortunately, it's a time bomb.
Now I couldn't stay any longer. I grabbed the envelope and ran out with the wind on my feet.
Not long after I stepped out of the hotel, there was a loud bang from behind.
Then for a moment it seemed as if I had lost my hearing and sight. The whole person fell into a vast whiteness.
After regaining my senses again, I was rushed a certain distance by the strong shock wave, and my whole body was scratched in several places.
People rushed over after hearing the sound, and police sirens sounded.
I reluctantly stood up and walked slowly away from the crowd.
At this time, I saw a familiar figure in the crowd.
Wearing a brown cloak and baggy trousers, his eyes are narrowed with a serious expression, and he is holding a pile of snacks in his arms.
If my guess is correct, he is probably Edogawa Ranpo.
It’s just that he hasn’t seen me yet, so it’s not good to come forward rashly.
Just show this envelope to him tomorrow.
I clutched the envelope and moved home step by step.
