Who is this brat?!

Port Mafia Building.
Atsushi Nakajima felt as if his eyelashes were on fire.
Originally, after learning from Sigma about the idea of the Five Signs of Decay of the Celestials spreading viral abilities in the Port Mafia and then framing the Armed Detective Agency, the Armed Detective Agency decided to have a good talk with Mori Ōgai. Only Edogawa Ranpo went to see Dr. Blackjack, while Yosano Akiko stayed at the Detective Agency to await news.
After all, they couldn't just do nothing and wait for the Mafia to come knocking on their door and settle scores.
However, it was too late. The vampire virus had already begun to spread within the Mafia.
Upon arriving at the Mafia building, they were immediately attacked by Mafia members who had been transformed into vampires by supernatural abilities. As a result, everyone except Izumi Kyoka got separated in the incident. Nakajima Atsushi, after personally knocking out several vampires and the conscious Mafia members who came to capture him, finally found himself in a safe place. However, he discovered a bite mark on his wrist that he didn't know had appeared at the time.
“…This is!” Following Nakajima Atsushi’s gaze, Izumi Kyoka also noticed the wound on his wrist.
If it was done by someone who wasn't infected with the virus, they couldn't have done it by biting; she keenly sensed something was amiss.
“Kyoka-chan…” Nakajima Atsuya realized the same thing, sighed, and said, “If I become like that, then you should just kill me.”
"With your physical skills and Yasha Shirayuki's help, you'll definitely be able to defeat me in my vampire form..."
"…!" Izumi Kyoka's concerned words caught in her throat. She felt a tightness in her throat and stammered for a long time before finally finding her voice, "No! It's just a superpower, not a real virus, and Dr. Blackjack is there…"
“But I might attack Kyouka-chan.” Atsushi Nakajima said with a wry smile.
“But…” Izumi Kyoka wanted to say something, but her pupils dilated instantly because she noticed that Nakajima Atsushi’s eyes seemed to be changing. Only after transforming into a tiger with his special ability could he continue to maintain consciousness.
"Kyouka-chan, get out of here! Go find the others, don't worry about me!" he said, almost in a commanding tone.
Izumi Kyoka wanted to say something more, but suddenly a pair of hands grabbed Nakajima Atsushi's clothes from behind and disappeared into thin air. Before she could react, her collar was also grabbed.
Everything seemed to have vanished into nothingness.
On the other side.
"Is this all that's left?" Before coming here, Kunikida Doppo had already written down the names of many offensive weapons in his little notebook, and now the only one left that hadn't been torn off was the bomb.
But--
"Bomb?" Noticing the word on the paper, the man smiled. "My special ability is that I'm least afraid of bombs!"
"I suggest you just obediently let me capture you and explain to the leader how you managed to give the Mafia such strange powers."
"Is that so..." Kunikida Doppo sighed softly, glanced at his little notebook of ideals, and decisively wrote down a line, "If the bomb is useless to you, how about this?"
Just as Kajii Motojiro managed to make out the word "smoke bomb" written on it, his vision was already swallowed up by thick smoke. When he was finally able to see his surroundings again, Kunikida Doppo was nowhere to be seen.
Meanwhile, after finally managing to talk to the little girl named Gin, they encountered the vampires Jun'ichirō Tanizaki, Kenji Miyazawa, and Sakunosuke Oda, and suddenly disappeared into the Mafia Building along with Gin.
When Atsushi Nakajima regained consciousness, before he could even try to move his body, he was grabbed and held down.
"Don't move."
Ruoyi...Sang?
He barely opened his eyes and found that his wounds had been bandaged. Kawakami Wakana was taking his blood pressure, while Izumi Kyoka looked at her with a worried expression.
“We have injected you with a virus inhibitor developed by Dr. Blackjack, so you will not get sick for the time being,” Kawakami Wakana explained. “But if you want to fully recover, we may still need to find a vampire with superpowers.”
"Was it Ruoyi-san who saved me? Everyone, where is everyone?" Nakajima Atsushi asked hurriedly.
"Don't mistake me for someone else," a playful voice said as the door opened.
Not long ago.
"Wakai-chan, do you need my help?"
Upon seeing the clown appear before her, Kawakami Wakana took a few steps back with a wary expression.
“Oh dear, don’t be so afraid of me,” Gogol said with a grin. “Don’t forget, I can rescue your friends.”
"So...you brought us here?" Atsushi Nakajima asked incredulously.
Wasn't Gogol, the "clown," also one of the five signs of decay?
"Don't think too highly of me," Gogol quickly said. "It was Little Sigma who begged me, and I wanted to see what Dostoevsky's expression would be, so I helped you."
"Thankfully, you're the only one in the detective agency who got infected with the virus. Everyone else is waiting outside for Wakana-chan and Kyouka-chan."
Atsushi Nakajima immediately got up, ready to go along, but Izumi Kyoka ordered him to rest. A short while later, he was turned into a rice dumpling by Yasha Shirayuki.
"To prevent you from moving around," Izumi Kyoka explained.
Atsushi Nakajima: "..."
Leaving a helpless Nakajima Atsushi behind, Kawakami Wakana and Izumi Kyoka left his hospital room together. Only after closing the door did Wakana say, "Kyoka-chan, you should go find Kunikida-san and the others first."
"...?" Izumi Kyoka stopped in her tracks. "And what about you?"
Ruoyi paused for a moment: "I...I have someone important to see."
After watching Jinghua leave alone, she turned around and went to look at the next ward.
Fyodor is sleeping inside.
This time he didn't have a fever, and his vital signs on the monitor were very stable, but he just couldn't wake up.
Kawakami Wakana knew that this might be related to the "contract" she chose after her true supernatural ability was activated.
She said he wanted to show him his ideal "world without superpowers".
Is Fedia living in such a world now?
For some reason, Kawakami Wakana suddenly had a premonition that if Feda was satisfied with everything he saw, she might not wake up.
And this may be the price that Feda would have to pay if he insisted on his ideals after seeing the world without superpowers, which was not mentioned in her contract.
"..."
Standing in front of the hospital bed, she silently tucked the blanket around the person in bed and then used a cotton swab to moisten his throat and lips.
“Fei Jia…”
Touching the butterfly pattern that had suddenly appeared on her ring finger, Kawakami Wakana felt that it seemed to be a little hot.
Whatever your choice, I will respect it.
"After all, all I want now is for you to stop being so lonely... And I think, given your personality, whether you stay immersed in your dreams forever or face reality, it's probably the best solution for you."
…………
Meanwhile, at the Port Mafia building.
The Port Mafia leadership was not surprised to learn the purpose of their leader Mori Ougai's emergency meeting.
After all, this morning, the strange vampire powers affected the minds of many people, and the Armed Detective Agency, which is said to be the virus spreader, also recently broke into the Mafia building and took away one of the Mafia members, Silver.
But when they entered the conference room, they were shocked.
Dazai-sama? Didn't he defect? And he even went to the detective agency, so how come... he's with Chuuya-sama?
and……
Why is the president of the detective agency here too?!
"Alright," Mori Ougai put Alice in his arms, clapped his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, "I have something important to tell you all."
"The vampire ability doesn't come from the Armed Detective Agency. It comes from another organization, the Five Signs of Decay, which is the organization 'Demon Man' belongs to. Therefore, our goal is the same as the Armed Detective Agency's."
"Find the member of the Five Signs of Decay—Count Bram the Vampire, and seek the help of Doctor Blackjack to save our companions." Ozaki Koyo glanced helplessly at Mori Ougai, who was halfway through her sentence and started peeling the wrapper off Alice's lollipop.
Black Jack Doctor!
One of the members, Higuchi Ichiyo, had a brightening eye.
You should know that it was this doctor who cured Akutagawa-senpai's lung disease, the person she loved most! Even the leader, who was also a doctor, couldn't think of a treatment for senpai's illness!
So she was the first to say, "I agree to cooperate!"
With the first person agreeing, there was no room for others to object. Eventually, they all nodded in agreement.
Dazai Osamu smiled with satisfaction, and then, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him, he secretly touched Nakahara Chuuya's arm.
"I was able to talk things out with Mr. Mori thanks to Chuuya! You saw the president and me, and I thought you would just take action."
"Tch." Chuuya Nakahara snorted. "I just don't think you'd be stupid enough to create such a mess and then bring your boss here to walk right into a trap."
Of course, Chuuya Nakahara had another reason.
That is, although Dazai Osamu was a traitor, and the leader did indeed treat his friend Oda Sakunosuke as a tool back then, based on his understanding of that guy, he would not suddenly do such a terrible thing without reason after so many years.
He was willing to believe in his former partner.
Osamu Dazai:
He chuckled as he looked at Nakahara Chuuya.
This little slug...
That's really not being honest.
“Then,” Mori Ougai announced, “the designated person will now depart with me to the Blackjack Clinic.”
Mori Ōgai's words were heard clearly by someone using a bugging device.
Not long ago, they were fighting tooth and nail over a personal tiger, but now they've developed a trust that even the "pages" can't completely erase?
I underestimated these two organizations.
However, it's not a big problem.
Finding Bram won't be easy.
As he spoke, the man opened the surveillance footage on his computer.
But his expression froze.
"...?" Who is this brat?!
