Chapter 33 Chapter 33 I finally see you...

After that, the player attacked the Tsurumi River several times, completely draining Dazai Osamu's physical strength, but luck is limited after all. Even so, the player did not succeed in fishing out other special ingredients, but instead got half a bucket of river crabs.

[Lucky, the judgment was successful, you easily caught a common fish - river crab]

[Lucky, the judgment was successful, you easily caught a common fish - river crab]

[Lucky, successful! You easily caught a common fish - river shrimp]

[Unlucky, failed, you didn't catch anything]

[Lucky, judged successful, you easily caught a common fish - eel]

Great harvest!

…

Ignoring the NPC's excited look, the cold-blooded player decided to take the bucket of freshly shipped river crabs as a gift for his visit. Looking at the intersection with many roads leading in all directions, the player who had wasted a lot of time by the Tsurumi River had long forgotten the route that Ayatsuji Koto had told him.

Fortunately, the player still remembered where they were headed: a small red brick building. The resilient player looked at the three very similar roads before him, closed his eyes, and took a firm step.

Armed Detective Agency——

The Armed Detective Agency, an armed group that exists between the daytime and nighttime worlds, is still in its developmental stages and therefore does not have many members at this time.

Apart from the president Fukuzawa Yukichi and the core member Edogawa Ranpo, there are only Yosano Akiko who is temporarily serving as the social doctor and the intern Kunikida Doppo. There are too few members, and there is almost no work to do except for some official tasks.

Today is also a very idle day.

"So boring!" Edogawa Ranpo slumped over the table, his favorite snacks placed beside him, but he had no desire to eat. "Why are all these cases so easy to figure out? Aren't there anything more interesting?"

"Mr. Ranpo." The girl, Yosano Akiko, who was gradually becoming cheerful, sighed skillfully. She still had great respect for this famous detective who rescued her from the clutches of Mori Ogai.

However, after spending a long time together, no matter how thick the filter was, it was broken by Ranpo's various childish actions, and instead, I felt a little more pity for him.

"The president will be back soon. Are you sure you want to stay like this, Mr. Ranpo? If the president sees that the mature and reliable Mr. Ranpo actually..." She looked at Ranpo's messy desk and the biscuit crumbs scattered all over the floor with a teasing look.

"I'll take care of it right away. Akiko, don't tell the president!" Ranpo sprang into action.

"We really need to clean up." The young man sitting in the distance wore brown square-framed glasses, his long yellow-green hair was neatly tied into a small braid and placed behind his head, and he wore a light green vest without any extra wrinkles.

The young man's still somewhat childish face now looked somewhat serious. He straightened his expression, opened the plan, and muttered to himself, "A client made an appointment at 4:30, but it's almost 5 o'clock, why hasn't he shown up yet? This will disrupt my plans again..."

"Hmm?" Edogawa Ranpo, who had been lying on the table and refused to move, straightened up instantly and said to Kunikida Doppo, "Kunikida, let me see that appointment."

"Okay, Mr. Ranpo."

After taking the paper, Ranpo carefully browsed the clients who had appointments to come today, and then stopped at the 4:30 time period.

This is……

His narrowed eyes suddenly widened, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes, and he asked Kunikida who was busy all the time, "How long will it take for the president to come back?"

Kunikida Dopo was stunned for a moment, thinking carefully before saying, "The president has nothing important to do today. His afternoon schedule doesn't include anything else besides meeting up with old friends."

"With an old friend... then it's all right." Ranpo thought about the president's so-called old friend and simply defined it. He said to Kunikida Doppo, "Call the president right now and tell him that the person he had an appointment with is coming to fulfill her promise. Tell him to come back quickly."

"Oh...oh, okay, Mr. Ranpo." Kunikida Doppo quickly took out his cell phone. It was bought for him by his mother after she heard that he was interning at a detective agency. He bought it yesterday and he had never taken it out before. Why would Mr. Ranpo know about it?

Forget it, the most important thing now is to complete what Mr. Ranpo said.

"Promise? Mr. Ranpo, what kind of promise?" Jingzi was curious, and then she thought of some of the words in Ranpo's words and asked, "Is it actually a woman?"

Could it be that the president's spring has arrived?! Thirty-somethings are in the prime of life!

"...Akiko, what are you thinking?" Edogawa Ranpo hid his snacks in the safe and cleaned up the debris on the floor. In his usual tone, he said to Yosano Akiko, who was wearing a white coat, "Don't say that in front of the client, otherwise you might get into trouble."

"It's almost time, Kunikida, get ready to entertain the guests." Ranpo slumped on the sofa and refused to move. Cleaning was really tiring for him, a sports nerd.

Seeing Kunikida's flustered look, Ranpo made up his mind, "I think we should ask the president to hire a few clerks to take care of the paperwork. Otherwise, it will be too troublesome."

The detective agency already has a small staff, and having to do all these things on the side is really a hassle. Speaking of which, the outside walls are a bit shabby, so why not paint them sometime to prevent people from thinking this is an old residential building?

"Is this the place? It looks like just an old residential building." The player looked at the small red brick building and turned to look at the NPC. After walking back to the original place for the third time, the player who was bad at finding his way finally gave up and chose to believe the NPC who was drooling over the river crab.

Then, five minutes later, the player was brought to the small building in front of him.

Dazai Osamu was almost out of energy to speak. If Kamikami Chiyo had told him where they were going earlier, why would they have circled around this place three times? He thought she had some plan and followed her three times. In the end, the person involved didn't react at all and just thought they were back to the same place every time. In fact, the route was exactly the same three times!

It turned out that he was thinking too much, or rather, he couldn't judge her using common sense.

"This is the only red brick building nearby with a coffee shop on the first floor. So, what are we doing here?"

"Eh? Didn't I tell you?" The first-time player clicked the elevator's up button and said, "We're going to the Armed Detective Agency."

Dazai Osamu: “Ah?”

Armed Detective Agency?

The Armed Detective Agency, the gray force that was pointed out by the former doctor Mori Ogai, who was vicious, sinister, and obsessed with little girls, during his free time?

When did Chiyo-chan connect with them?

"OK, we're finally here!" The player burst through the door, ignoring the confusing looks the NPCs were giving him. He laughed loudly and said, "Where's the president? I'm here to fulfill my promise! Wuhu!"

"You, you are... Miss Kamikami Chiyo?" asked the NPC with yellow-green hair in a trembling voice.

"Huh?" The player was a little confused that the NPC knew her name, but she attributed these minor issues to the little conveniences provided by this stingy game. "It's me. What's your question?"

"Hello, Ms. Chiyo, I'm Kunikida Doppo. The president hasn't returned yet. Could you please wait a moment? If you need anything, you can contact Ms. Yosano Akiko over there."

"Okay, okay." The player placed the bucket down next to the sofa and sat down. He ignored the various teasing attempts the bandage-dropping NPC made on the yellow-green NPC. He looked around and sighed, "You guys at the Armed Detective Agency are truly full of hidden talents."

This is what the Armed Detective Agency looks like from the player's perspective.

[The table at the Armed Detective Agency is not accessible]

[The sofa in the Armed Detective Agency is not allowed to be taken]

[The floor of the Armed Detective Agency is not accessible]

…

Wherever the player's eyes go, almost everything is unreachable, which is very different from the places they have been to before.

This inexplicable sentence caused several members of the Armed Detective Agency to stop what they were doing instantly, and the atmosphere became tense.

"Huh? Why aren't you talking?"

Dazai Osamu: ...Isn’t it what Chiyo-chan just said that made them look like that?

However, this also proves one thing - this Armed Detective Agency already knows the identity of Kamikami Chiyo, and this organization that Mori Ogai is extremely afraid of is really... something.

At this moment, the sound of a door opening was heard. Everyone turned around and saw that it was the person that the detective agency members had been looking forward to, the player's target today, and the person that Dazai Osamu was curious and afraid of, the president of the Armed Detective Agency - Fukuzawa Yukichi!

"What's wrong?" Fukuzawa Yukichi felt the gazes of many people as he entered the room. He didn't usually receive such treatment, so he froze for a few seconds before speaking. "You called me to come back quickly. What's going on?"

"In fact, it's because of this, President." Kunikida Doppo pushed away the guy who came with the girl, who had bad intentions and a dark aura, and then stepped aside to reveal the girl sitting on the sofa behind him, "Miss Kamikami Chiyo, it seems I have something to ask you.

Fukuzawa Yukichi asked in confusion, "Who are you...?"

The player looked at the NPC with a familiar pairing, supported his chin with his right hand, and smiled.

"Finally, I see you again, President Yukichi. I've been really looking forward to our meeting. Let's fulfill the promise we made at the dessert shop."

“Eh—?!”
