Suzumiya Kazuki calculated that the Suzuki Group's gemstone exhibition would be held just three days after Anding sent the letter, which meant that he had to deal with the Honmaru matter within three days, and then rush to the exhibition to perform against each other.

In addition, it seems that Yuan Zhongyao’s business trip mission is almost completed. He might bump into someone who knows the inside story one day and directly expose his Curse Spirit vest that is temporarily idle.

There was not much time left for him. The pressure of playing three roles and the various interpretations of the script made Ryoumiya Heshu feel a pain in his soul these days.

——Even Ah Piao without a body can feel suffocated, so you can imagine how heavy the workload is.

From Oda Sakunosuke's point of view, it was Mizukami Sosuke who went on a shopping spree that night, buying a lot of sweets like a hamster hoarding food for the winter, and then sitting in the shrine to eat them whenever he had nothing to do, staring blankly while eating, as if he was hibernating.

At one point he wondered if eating like this would cause tooth decay.

And he did ask that.

"I can eat ten tons of sweets without getting cavities." Mizukami Sosuke said, "You underestimate the sorcerer too much."

Oda Sakunosuke: ...Can being a sorcerer prevent tooth decay these days?

The two of them squatted in the shrine, Mizukami Sosuke ate snacks like crazy, and Oda Sakunosuke picked up his abilities again and practiced with the Gokotai. In this way, they spent two days that seemed simple but were actually busy.

The day before Ansei's letter arrived, Mizukami Sosuke, who had cleared out all the stock, asked Oda Sakunosuke, "Before going to Honmaru this time, do you want to go see Dazai and the children?"

Oda Sakunosuke was stunned for a moment: "Is it ready?"

"You are no longer Oda Sakunosuke." Mizukami Sosuke pretended to be deep, "You are now Oda Nikoroku Sakunosuke."

Oda Sakunosuke: ...I don't understand it, but I don't know what it means.

However, compared to the depressed look when they first met because he couldn't find his pocket watch, Mizukami Sosuke seems to have recovered his energy in the past few days. He often talks about the dirty laundry of Nakahara Chuuya and Dazai Osamu when Oda Sakunosuke and the Gokotai are practicing, from work secrets to personal privacy, he can reveal anything.

Oda Sakunosuke felt that this was interfering with his training, but someone said, "What if the enemy uses trash talk to attack you? What if you don't increase your resistance in advance?"

Oda Sakunosuke thought this made sense, so he started to multitask and listened to all the negative information about Dazai Osamu.

Although Oda Sakunosuke didn't think he had changed much, since Mizukami Sosuke said he could now meet Dazai Osamu and the children openly, he was naturally happy to do so.

So - after visiting the school gates of the five children and delivering lunch to them, Mizukami Sosuke and Oda Sakunosuke stood downstairs of the Armed Detective Agency.

"Want to buy some souvenirs?" Mizukami Sosuke said, "The last time you met, Dazai was still in the port mafia, right? Now it's time for him to turn over a new leaf."

Oda Sakunosuke thought about it and went to the bookstore next door to buy a hardcover cookbook. "Maybe it's because the letter I wrote to him worked. If both sides are the same, then I'll go with the one who saved people."

"Then buy him a recipe?" Mizukami Sosuke's mouth twitched, "It's obvious that guy can't cook."

Oda Sakunosuke: "There is also a food incompatibility table at the end of the recipe. Now that he has changed, his previous bad eating habits should also be changed."

Mizukami Sosuke was extremely looking forward to seeing the black mud spirit see his best friend who had come back from the dead, but before he could get excited, he was handed a cookbook and was given a food incompatibility table.

"It's so boring." Edogawa Ranpo muttered while eating snacks, "Why did those people in the Mizukami family all stop fighting at the same time?"

Sitting next to Yosano Akiko and playing with a scalpel: "If I had known that I would encounter the Mizukami family now, I would have kept the eldest son of the Mizukami family for a while longer. Although I can't treat him, the other power system is indeed quite curious."

Dazai Osamu lay on the table and said lazily: "That special sorcerer Gojo Satoru told me that the Mizukami family is almost extinct. It's useless for you to study them. They are all - exceptions."

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door of the detective agency. Nakajima Atsushi, who was sitting closest to the door, opened the door and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, the detective agency is not accepting commissions right now..."

Before the last word fell, the white-haired boy's eyes widened, as if he had seen something incredible: "You - you are!"

Mizukami Sosuke shrugged, "Ah, you don't want to accept the commission? Well, forget it, Odasaku, let's go."

Oda Sakunosuke placed one hand on the door sill and said doubtfully, "But..."

"Get out of the way!" Dazai Osamu, who had just been paralyzed in his position like a salted fish, walked to the door at an extremely fast speed and opened the half-open door of Nakajima Atsushi completely.

Facing the faint white light from the staircase entrance, a man with burgundy hair stood at the door holding a dozen books. His other hand was placed on the door edge, and he was only an elbow away from Dazai Osamu.

Seeing his friend, who still had a white bandage on his face and looked decadent, Oda Sakunosuke calmly said hello, "Long time no see, Dazai."

Is this a daydream? Or is it an invasion by a supernatural being? Is it the effect of the spell cast by the sorcerer they just mentioned?

Dazai Osamu clasped his fingers tightly in his palms, his iris-colored eyes dark and unclear.

He even began to suspect that this was a premeditated conspiracy, a pawn used by those confused people from the Mizukami family to drag him down with them.

Otherwise - how could the recent target and the best friend he had been looking for for a long time appear at the door of the Armed Detective Agency at the same time?

It's so fake.

It was just that what he saw with his eyes, heard with his ears, and the confusion in his heart mixed together, causing this timid kid named Dazai Osamu to take a step back, trying to cover the entire person in front of him with his eyes, picking out the difference without leaving any room for error.

The face can be disguised, the voice can be disguised, even -

"Dazai, I see you've been doing well lately. Have you found the meaning of existence?" Oda Sakunosuke handed over the recipe. "As a gift for meeting you, you can take a good look at the last few pages, but I guess there's still no record of how to use dishwashing liquid."

The other people in the room also gathered around and looked at the two of them in surprise.

Mizukami Sosuke raised his lips and said in a neutral tone, "Didn't you just say you wouldn't accept commissions? Now you seem very enthusiastic."

"Suzumiya Kazuki?" Kunikida Dopo walked over with a frown on his face. "Do you know we are looking for you?"

"Do you think I know?" The young man in front of him stood at the door with his arms folded across his chest, his red eyes full of interest. "But - I'm here anyway."

"Come in and talk."

Several people made way for them and welcomed the two men in. Dazai Osamu stood silently at the back, looking at Oda Sakunosuke's back.

Mizukami Sosuke turned around and rubbed Dazai Osamu's hair without any hesitation, with a look of disgust and familiarity: "Wow, you sticky black mud spirit, it would be a shame if you don't take a picture of your expression now to show it to Chuuya, you look like a puppy abandoned by its owner."

Dazai Osamu stretched out his leg and kicked without hesitation, but Mizukami Sosuke dodged it.

"Come on, even if it's Oda Sakunosuke himself, don't even think about it." Mizukami Sosuke said indifferently, "We are in a hurry and don't have time to watch you feel sad."

Oda Sakunosuke did not agree with Mizukami Sosuke's statement, but out of habit he did not interrupt the conversation between the two. He just said to Dazai Osamu after they calmed down, "It is indeed him. I will tell you the rest."

"What was the signature at the end of your letter?" Dazai Osamu asked without thinking.

Oda Sakunosuke: "...Suzuki."

At that time, he told Dazai Osamu about his dream of becoming a writer, and he chose the pen name "Suzuki", which was simple and could blend in with the crowd.

Dazai Osamu made a "tsk" sound, sat back in his chair quietly, and threw an orange to him - not to Mizukami Sosuke.

Edogawa Ranpo turned his chair and looked at Mizukami Sosuke: "As expected, this was part of your plan from the beginning?"

"Just call me Mizukami Sosuke."

Ignoring the surprised looks from the people around him, Mizukami Sosuke smiled and said to Edogawa Ranpo: "Tell me what you found out first."

"Well, Suzumiya Kazuki was an alias you used before, and you deliberately asked the god of death, Yamato-no-mori Yasunari, to come to the Armed Detective Agency for a commission, right?" Ranpo Edogawa put on his glasses, leaned his elbows on the table, and looked serious. "Your target from the beginning was Mizukami Tetsuya?"

It seems that when Morobushi Kagemitsu stayed with Mizukami Tetsuya, Mizukami Sosuke used some means to indirectly steal the information that Morobushi Kagemitsu obtained from Mizukami Tetsuya and passed on to them, and dug out a lot of secrets that he himself did not know at first.

Mizukami Sosuke clapped enthusiastically: "As expected of the world's number one detective, everything you said is correct."

Dazai Osamu's eyes flashed with surprise: "Suzumiya Kazuki... I didn't expect you to start hiding your real name so early."

At least he had been with him in the Port Mafia for so long that he had never heard of another name.

"For some reason, I don't really like my real name, but it doesn't matter now." Mizukami Sosuke said indifferently, "This time, I came here not only to terminate the previous commission, but also to ask for a new commission from you all."

Edogawa Ranpo said unhappily, "We at the detective agency don't accept just any job."

"Well, there will definitely be a reward." Mizukami Sosuke said, "I think with your current information, you should have negotiated with the sorcerers. The Mizukami family swordsmanship has gone astray and gradually declined, but this also means that we at least have special talents in some aspects. At least I - I still feel great about myself."

"You're still feeling pretty good about yourself." Dazai Osamu snorted, vaguely sensing something, "Can you please tell me first?"

Kunikida Dopo was somewhat dissatisfied with Dazai Osamu's self-assertion. He frowned and called Dazai's name in a low voice, which received an ambiguous expression.

Edogawa Ranpo pushed up his glasses and said, "I roughly know what you want to commission, but our detective agency does not take sides."

"What a pity." Mizukami Sosuke showed a regretful expression.

People had no idea what the two were talking about and looked at each other in confusion.

Dazai Osamu said, "The request from Mizukami Sosuke should be the pocket watch from the Suzuki Group, right? So, you want us to help you snatch it from Mizukami Tetsuya?"

Mizukami Sosuke puffed up his face in dissatisfaction. Although he was a grown-up young man, he was still full of childishness: "That thing originally belonged to me. If it weren't for the fact that all the property of the Mizukami family is in his hands now--"

"It's not yours either." Edogawa Ranpo said, "The abbreviation engraved on the pocket watch refers to Mizukami Kazuki, your other brother."

"We have already learned about this information. There has been no progress on the whereabouts of the water and trees."

Mizukami Sosuke said stubbornly, "Not being able to find him is no problem. As long as you get your watch back, I will find a way."

"We can't help you with this matter." Edogawa Ranpo showed a rare refusal attitude, "Neither you nor Mizukami Tetsuya, I believe you don't want outsiders to interfere in your affairs, right? The reward you mentioned is just a blank check if nothing unexpected happens. In this case, we, the Armed Detective Agency, don't want to be the villain who interferes."

"You've really been seen through." Mizukami Sosuke raised his hands to cover his eyes and said lightly, "Then there's really nothing to talk about."

"Odasaku, you should reminisce about the past with Dazai first. I'm going out for a walk." He stood up and said to the man who was sitting beside him and listening quietly.

Nakajima Atsushi subconsciously wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Edogawa Ranpo shaking his head slightly.

After the door closed, the two think tanks of the Armed Detective Agency sighed at the same time.

"He's regressed." Dazai murmured, and he asked Oda Sakunosuke, who came with Mizukami Sosuke, "Oda Sakunosuke, do you know his situation?"

Looking at the man's somewhat confused eyes, Dazai Osamu understood.

Edogawa Ranpo picked up the snacks placed aside with some annoyance, muttering: "Ranpo-sama, I really don't want to take care of someone who doesn't even want to take care of himself."

"But Mizukami Sosuke is dying."

The author has something to say: Don’t panic if you don’t understand, the secret will be revealed in the next chapter.

The reason why the armed police got involved in this matter was the mission issued by An Ding to "find the master and protect Mizukami Cheolya", but as the script progresses, the priority of these two missions has been reversed.

Getting close to Mizukami Tetsuya became the top priority, and "Suzumiya Kazuki" or "Mizukami Sosuke" knew everything from the beginning, and deliberately wanted to learn about Mizukami Tetsuya's movements through military intelligence. Because he had been away from the family for too long, there was a lot of information he didn't know, so he could only get it indirectly.

As for the conclusion that "Sousuke" is about to die, it is related to his hidden ability, and Dazai has already discovered it.

These will be written in the next chapter.

In short, it's all a game of chess among the script team. Don't panic if you don't understand it. You will definitely understand it by tomorrow at noon.
