184.
The cherry blossom viewing location chosen by the Armed Detectives is the famous Rinkai Park in Yokohama.
Behind me was the sea, shimmering and rippling like blue silk. In front of me was the mountaintop, still shrouded in mist. It was clearly spring, but the snow still seemed to have not melted, and the mountainside was covered in pure white.
At the foot of the mountain, pink cherry blossoms are in full bloom, stretching all the way to the sea.
Because of this rare beauty, there is an endless stream of tourists coming to this seaside park. If you want to occupy a seat in the limited venue to enjoy the cherry blossoms, you have to go early in advance to reserve a seat.
The one who was given this sacred mission was the Armed Detective Agency's specialty white tiger, Atsushi Nakajima, who was particularly good at being an errand boy (?).
But when the Armed Detective Agency came to the lawn covered with a picnic blanket according to Nakajima Atsushi's call, they saw Izumi Kyoka, a natural lolita, resting on the shoulder of Nakajima Atsushi, whose face was as red as a monkey's butt.
Yoseno Akiko subconsciously whistled in a cool way: "Ah, I never thought that Atsushi is such a man of action."
“Huh?!——” Nakajima Atsushi was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted, his face so hot that you could fry an egg on it, “It’s not what you think, Ms. Yoseno.”
Yosano Akiko touched her short black hair, and the golden butterfly headdress sparkled in the sun. "Oh, Atsushi-kun, are you planning to take over Kagamika's heart and run away?"
"What do you mean I have occupied Kagamihana-chan's heart? That's not true!" Nakajima Atsushi explained hurriedly, and after hearing what Yosano Akiko said, except for the serious and steady Fukuzawa Yukichi and the nonchalant Edogawa Ranpo, the other members of the detective agency all showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.
Yaken squatted on Ichigo Ichifuki's shoulder. This height allowed him to see the expressions of all the people who came to view the cherry blossoms. The black cat looked at this group of stupid and gossipy two-legged beasts with human-like half-moon-shaped dead fish eyes.
"Instead of guessing and listening to Atsushi's random denials, it's better to ask the person concerned directly, isn't that right, brother?" Naomi Tanizaki hugged her brother tightly and rubbed him with a happy face. In order to match the elegant atmosphere of cherry blossom viewing, everyone wore kimonos, and she almost rubbed Tanizaki Junichiro's collar open.
"Nao, Naomi, don't get so close..." The orange-haired boy pushed his sister's hand helplessly and weakly.
Tanizaki Naomi ignored him and hugged him tighter: "Hey, Kagamihana-chan, what is going on in your heart, Atsushi?"
Izumi Kyoka woke up when everyone arrived. She raised her head from Nakajima Atsushi's shoulder and stared at him for a long time with her stubborn eyes. She spoke in a firm tone, but the words she said were inexplicably ambiguous and filled with pink bubbles: "I want to protect Atsushi all the time. In my heart, Atsushi is a very important person to me."
"Eh - well, protection and the like are probably more suitable for boys... Kagamika-chan is also a very important person to me, I will protect you too!" Nakajima Atsushi didn't even know where to put his hands, and said with a red face while waving his hands around.
"If anyone bullies you, tell me and I will kill him again." Quan Jinghua pulled out a dagger from her waist and said seriously.
"Uh..." The corners of Nakajima Atsushi's mouth twitched, and for a moment he didn't know how to refuse such kindness.
Amidst all the fun, the group sat down, put snacks, desserts and drinks on the picnic blanket, and ate while admiring the grand sight of the cherry blossoms.
"No matter how many times I see it, I can't help but marvel at how dazzling your family is," after drinking a small bottle of sake, he and Yosano Akiko stroked Osone's face, which was not stained with the slightest bit of drunkenness, and looked at Awataguchi Ikuto and said, "Just sitting here quietly, you attract so many people's attention. Tsk tsk, you are a disaster."
That's true.
The members of the Armed Detective Club sat under the cherry blossom tree. Originally, the magnificent view of the cherry blossoms was what passers-by should have noticed, but what was more gorgeous and eye-catching than the cherry blossoms was the sword master's transcendent and stunning face.
Those fiery and curious eyes were cast at him from all directions from time to time, and even a detective with a strong mental quality would feel a threat behind him.
It's not that they haven't been looked at like this before. After all, the Armed Detective Society members are good-looking, such as the cool and handsome Yosano Akiko, the amorous wingman Dazai Osamu, and the naturally cute Izumi Kagamika...
But none of them can compare to Ichiki Ichijin, Yaken Toushirou, Ran Toushirou and Gokotai.
No matter how low-key they are, they seem to be darlings born to be in the spotlight, and they are very conspicuous in the crowd at a glance.
"You're really flattering, Ms. Yoseno." Ichigo Ichizuru said as he stroked the cat's fur.
Under his gentle touch, Yaoyan turned over and exposed her belly. Of course, Yaoyan was wearing a Japanese-style outfit today, so she couldn't see the whole belly, which was a bit regrettable, but compared to being able to suck Ododou, it was nothing.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Who told us we are the cutest and the most handsome? Don't you agree, Sister Akiko?" In contrast to his humble attitude, Rantoshiro, who has always been proud of his cuteness, just blinked and gave Yosano Akiko a wink.
Today, Shiro Ranto was wearing a kimono with a golden orange color mixed with the red color of the sunset. His long hair was tied into a small ball and pinned behind his head. He looked cute and pretty. Yosano Akiko couldn't help but pinch Shiro Ranto's face.
"It really makes me jealous, Luanjun, even your face is smoother than mine, but you are a boy."
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that things were not going well with Yosano Akiko. He picked up a small pot of sake and gulped it down, poisoning the people around him at the same time - the father and son duo of Fukuzawa Yukichi and Edogawa Ranpo, and the Awataguchis must not be touched, after all, the tantos looked like elementary school students.
She was full of energy and poured a glass of wine for Kunikida Dopo and Nakajima Atsushi: "Atsushi, Kunikida-kun, please drink with me."
"Please allow me to refuse, Miss Yosano. Drinking will delay my next plan." Kunikida Dopo's face changed when he saw Yosano Akiko's action. He knew very well how much this senior drank. She could drink eight or ten bottles of whiskey without changing her expression. And every time he drank with her, he would definitely have a hangover and headache the next day, so that the next work process would be very difficult!
"Mmmmm--" Yuseno Akiko didn't care about Kunikida Doppo's weak struggle and simply hooked his neck and pulled him over, lifting his chin and pouring the contents of the wine glass into him. Some of the leaked transparent wine dripped down Kunikida Doppo's angular chin.
Yoseno Akiko made a "tsk" sound and reached out to wipe the remaining wine from Kunikida Dobu's chin. "I say, Kunikida-kun, if you are obedient, just accompany me to drink. It is not a good thing to waste alcohol."
Then he turned around and glared at the big tiger that was trying to escape: "Dun~ You can't run away either, okay?"
Nakajima Atsushi, who tried to escape, froze as if his fate was caught by the back of his neck: "Mr. Dazai, help me!"
Why isn't Mr. Dazai here at this time? QAQ
Edogawa Ranpo was eating sweet rabbit marshmallows, feeling as happy as the bubbles popping out of the cola soda he was drinking. He kindly explained to Nakajima Atsushi, "Dazai doesn't like crowds. He just had a fight with Oori.
Tian Zuo walked away together. "
"Ah, that's a pity," Yosano Akiko leaned over to Nakajima Atsushi's ear. The strong smell of alcohol made Nakajima Atsushi feel like he was getting drunk. "I was thinking of getting that Dazai guy drunk, but it doesn't matter. I can get his favorite disciple drunk, too."
"Wine, the more a man can drink, the more manly he becomes. Do Kunikida-kun and Atsushi think they will never find a wife in their lifetime?" Together with Yosano Akiko, they calmed down the two men who were struggling desperately.
The cat named Yagen was very happy watching the show. He chuckled, climbed up from Ichigo Ichizen's legs, shook his ears, and walked towards Yagen Toushirou. Seeing that Yagen Toushirou was reading a medical pamphlet, he patted his arm and wrapped his tail around his wrist.
"Okay," Yaken Toushirou put down the book and smiled at Yaken, "I'm reading about veterinary medicine. Although you will turn back to normal after today, who knows if you will turn into an animal again next time because you lose your power temporarily?"
Seeing Yaken's cat lips grinning and his mustache moving, Yaken Toushirou seemed to see through his thoughts: "Don't try to be cunning, this is not the first or second time you've done something so reckless, you just do whatever you want because you take advantage of the fact that no one can punish you."
The lavender eyes suddenly darkened, and the aura around him gave Yaoyan a sense of oppression, and the little black cat was frightened out of his ears. Out of the physical instinct of the little animal, Yaoyan tilted his head and stared at Yaoyan Toushirou with his watery eyes.
"…I really can't do anything with you."
Yaken Toushirou sighed and started to feed Yaken the snacks beside him.
After maintaining this behavior of feeding and opening the mouth for a while, Yaken, who was enjoying the food, heard a sound in the distance with the sensitive hearing of cats. After hesitating for a moment, he still meowed a few times at Yaken Toushirou.
"Go if you want to, Yaken. But be careful." Yaken Toushirou rubbed the black cat's head, and after receiving a soft response and nod from the other party, he watched the little kitten run out leaping and skipping.
The five little tigers rolled around on the lawn. Since they were already familiar with the members of the Armed Detective Agency, they knew who was the most kind-hearted and generous person in the agency towards them. One by one, they went to Fukuzawa Yukichi, who usually brought dried fish and had a sufficient stock of them.
This period of time was truly a rare time in Fukuzawa Yukichi's life when he was happy because of the fur.
Feeling the soft touch coming from his feet, a bold and lively little tiger even climbed directly onto his legs along the hem of his clothes. Fukuzawa Yukichi gave a stiff but genuine smile, took out dried fish from his arms and fed them to the little tiger one by one.
Because of the little tigers, the Five Tigers sat very close to the Fukuzawa father and son duo. He hesitated and looked at Edogawa Ranpo who was happily eating potato chips.
Edogawa Ranpo didn't look up. The comfort of the sun and the happiness brought by the food made him squint his eyes, and even his hair was waving because it was not combed properly. "Do you want to commission a detective? But I won't accept this commission. After all, Yaken is also a friend. It's not good to talk about his past that he is unwilling to mention to you without his permission. He will be angry."
"But everyone is thinking about how to get closer to Yao Yanni. If we understand his past, we can get closer to the real him." Wu Hu Tui said nervously, tugging at the corner of his clothes.
"Otherwise, even though it's a problem that can be easily solved by everyone working together, he always tells us that we have to handle it alone, and he doesn't trust us at all... We are obviously family."
Ranpo Edogawa opened another bottle of soda. His guardian, Yukichi Fukuzawa, had already hinted that if he continued to eat snacks like this, the snack control would be stricter when he got home. He pouted, full of the frustration of a child: "Rather than saying that he doesn't trust you, it's better to say that you don't trust each other."
Wu Hu was stunned: "Huh?"
"Forget it, even gods don't look very smart, they're just a bunch of idiots," Edogawa Ranpo took a sip of soda, and suddenly a cherry blossom petal fell on his nose, making him sneeze, "The main reason why Yaken did this is because of you."
"He is not as fragile as you think. He is a strong man both mentally and physically. But because of his past, you are always extremely cautious towards him. You don't believe that he can protect himself or you as his family. You even restrict his behavior. Sometimes, excessive protection becomes a burden."
Edogawa shook the soda bottle in his hand, squinted one eye and looked at the glass bead at the mouth of the bottle, as if he was eager to take it out: "Well, of course he kept it a secret from you because he values you. He didn't want you to worry, but it seems to have a negative effect. I suggest you start from
You should change yourselves first. As for the drug research, the possibility of changing him is too small."
After all, he has the same temperament as a cat.
"Yes, thank you Mr. Ranbu for your suggestion." Wu Hu Tui clapped his hands together and said gratefully.
Edogawa Ranpo nodded in approval: "Remember the consultation fee, XXX's new mango mousse!"
185.
Here, Yaoyan ran in the direction of the familiar voice he had just heard. After looking around, he found the person he was looking for under a cherry tree.
"Fortunately we got a seat. Higuchi, you guys should at least come early." The orange-haired man sighed.
"That's because the senior hasn't changed into the new kimono the leader bought for him for a long time, saying that such a Rashomon is too ugly. It's so beautiful, and the leader gave it to me with great expectations. There's nothing I can do. I have to waste some time to persuade the senior to change into new clothes." Higuchi Ichiyo changed into a yellow kimono, blushing and looking at Akutagawa Ryunosuke from time to time.
"Shut up, Higuchi." Akutagawa Ryunosuke coughed and scolded.
"I'm sorry, senior!"
Zhong Yuanzhong also understood what was going on: "Forget it, don't do this next time. It's a rare opportunity for the leader to grant us leave to enjoy the cherry blossoms, so we should be more active."
After hearing what Nakahara Chuuya said, Yakuin realized how they ran into them. By the way, Mori Ogai had figured it out, the activities and location of the Port Mafia's holiday perfectly overlapped with the Armed Detective Agency... What if they really met and a fight broke out?
Nearby, Hirotsu Ryulang, Tachihara Michizo and Akutagawa Gin had already spread out the picnic blanket and placed a bunch of things they brought on it.
Nakahara Chuuya had just opened his favorite wine when he heard a sound coming from behind the cherry tree.
"Oh, this cherry tree is blooming beautifully. I really want to know the content of various elements in the soil. How about a lemon bomb to make more cherry blossoms fall? Woohoo hahahaha!"
Even when he came to view the cherry blossoms, Motojiro Kajii did not take off his sunglasses.
"Hey, Kajii, don't cause me trouble," Nakahara Chuuya heard this and got a headache. "I don't know if your bomb will cause more cherry blossoms to fall, but the trees will definitely fall down. What's the point of coming here to enjoy the cherry blossoms like this!"
"Let's treat this beautiful scenery with a little more elegance." Guangjin Liulang stroked his beard and poured sake into the cup.
Motojiro Kajii walked out from behind the tree and took a deep breath. "Wow! This fragrance is a gift from nature. It is so fascinating, just like this perfect cone-shaped lemon bomb~"
"Kajii, if you don't sit down and enjoy the cherry blossoms quietly, I'll ask my boss to stop your research funding." Nakahara Chuuya, with a concrete "#" on his head, glared at Kajii Motojiro.
"...Cherry blossoms, if only there were more of them." Feeling threatened, Motojiro Kajii fell to the ground, muttering to himself as he looked at the pink tops of the cherry blossoms that covered the sky.
After hearing this, Yaken thought for a while, then jumped onto the tree where Nakahara Chuuya and the others were, climbed to a high place, and started swinging while holding onto the branches.
#Good kids don't learn this behavior series#
Suddenly, cherry blossoms fluttered down, these pink petals swirled and danced with the wind before landing on the heads and shoulders of the people under the trees.
"Hmm?" Lieutenant General Nakahara looked over and immediately saw the black cat on the top of the tree.
His first thought was: There are cats growing on the cherry trees?
But he quickly shook off the thought. Nakahara Chuuya looked at the little black cat that jumped down from the tree and subconsciously reached out to hug it.
The cat fell into his arms with some cherry blossom petals.
186.
When the Yakuken cat shook its head, which was a little dizzy from jumping from a high place, and climbed up from Nakahara Chuuya, the black cat's body instinct was faster than its thinking control, and it directly licked the corner of Nakahara Chuuya's mouth in front of it.
It was wine, sweet and astringent. Yaoyan smacked his lips subconsciously, not noticing that Nakahara Chuuya had frozen in place, and turned around to look for the fragrant wine.
When Nakahara Chuuya came to his senses, he saw Yaken grabbing his tall wine glass and drinking the wine in it with her little pink tongue.
"Hey!..." Nakahara Chuuya quickly picked up the wine glass and turned to ask his companion, "I remember cats can't drink alcohol."
Akutagawa Ryunosuke looked at the fur ball that was about the same color as his black windbreaker, and moved his little finger slightly. After realizing that he was different, he frowned without eyebrows: "Such a weak being, after drinking alcohol, can't survive in the world."
"It's better to check it out first, Mr. Nakahara, don't be so anxious." Guangjin Liulang said slowly, successfully using words to stop Nakahara Chuuya who was about to rush to the pet hospital.
After checking the little black cat, he found that Yaoyan was very energetic and smacked his lips as if he was savoring something. Nakahara Chuuya breathed a sigh of relief: "What? It turns out to be a drunkard cat."
"Drink if you want." Nakahara Chuuya put down the cup, handed it to Yao Yan, took another dry wine glass, poured the wine, and started drinking.
He looked at Yao Yan's beautiful grape-purple eyes and felt that they were very familiar. It reminded him of the boy who had left a deep impression on him even though he had only met him once.
Can we meet again...
He thought so and looked up at the cherry blossom sky. When he turned back, he found that the little black ball was gone.
Tsk, just run away after drinking.
Yao Yan's mind was gradually blurred by alcohol. After realizing that the wine in the glass was gone, he turned around and left without thinking.
At this time, his cat-like gait became crooked, and he walked unsteadily in front of the armed detectives, flying towards them following the familiar smell.
Yakuken Toshiro, who enjoyed the benefit of having a cat in his arms, placed the snoring black cat on his lap.
Commonly known as knee pillow.
This is the quietest place in Linhai Park.
Seagulls fly over the still calm sea, and ships can be seen looming in the distance.
Dazai Osamu leaned against the railing, raised the wine glass in his right hand, and shook it around. The distilled wine in the glass did not spill out, but was precariously restrained on the edge of the glass. The golden wine reflected a colorful halo in the sunlight.
"Dazai." Oda Sakunosuke walked out on the path behind him.
"You're here, Odasaku," Dazai gestured to the bottle of wine he had placed on the ground and took out a new wine glass from his pocket, "Come drink with me."
Oda Sakunosuke took the wine glass and poured it.
"Clang." The wine glasses touched lightly in the air, making a crisp sound.
"Cheers to the stray dogs." said Dazai Osamu and Oda Sakunosuke.
