Chapter 41

"Come back with us, Akabane-chan." Dazai Osamu looked at him with a smile.

Akabane Higen lowered his head as if thinking, then raised his head, and just as he said the word "good", he seemed to have seen someone, with a look of surprise, and excitedly shouted behind them: "Ranpo-nii, brother!"

Shibu-chan/Shibu?

Dazai Osamu and Oda Sakunosuke turned around at the same time, and reacted after seeing the empty street behind them. When they turned around to look at the boy, there was no one in front of them.

Dazai Osamu: ...

"Did we scare him?" Oda Sakunosuke asked doubtfully.

Dazai Osamu stretched his back and said lazily: "Probably. Well, it's not that we don't want to take the person back now. He ran away on his own."

"So, Odasaku, let's go back to sleep!"

"But... is it really okay for them to do this?"

He also took Yumeno Hisasaku with him.

"It's okay--"

After all, he is a person who can make a name for himself in the other world. How could he not have any means of self-protection?

Dazai Osamu waved his hand lazily, and then shouted: "Odasaku--we'll go back soon--"

"Oh, okay."

Akabane Hiami took Yumeno Hisasaku and ran away quickly the moment the two turned their heads. He slowed down and stopped only after running two or three blocks.

Yumeno Hisasaku jumped out of his arms: "Why are you running?"

"Of course I don't want to go back with them--"

Yumeno Hisasaku pursed his lips: "Aren't you and Dazai Osamu in the same group?"

"Huh? No, I'm not familiar with him." The boy curled his lips with disgust on his face.

Then he seemed to remember something and took out a necklace from his pocket. The necklace was silver-gray and inlaid with a black gem. The color inside the gem was very dark, which gave people a bad feeling, but if you look closely, you will find that there seems to be some liquid flowing in the gem.

Akabane Higen put the necklace around Yumeno Hisasaku's neck. During this time, Yumeno Hisasaku did not move at all, but just quietly let him put the necklace on him.

After putting on the necklace, he reached out and touched the gem and asked Akabane Higen: "What is this?"

Akabane Higen looked at the gem with a smile: "It's a gift, a gift for little Hisasaku."

Seeing the complicated expression and the movement of wanting to take off the necklace immediately appearing on the child's face, Akabane Higen slowly added: "Of course, if you want that scumbag Moriogai to find a reason to take you back, you can also take it off."

Yumeno Hisasaku stopped moving, he looked down at the dull gem: "What on earth is it?"

The boy still had a smiling expression: "Oh, I said it's a gift, why do you have to think so much, kid!"

Yumeno Hisasaku:...

Although, you seem to be underage, right?

So he stopped tying the necklace and asked Akabane Hina: "Why are you helping me?"

This question...

Akabane Hina seemed to think about it for a few seconds, and then said: "Well, at first it was because I couldn't stand Mori Ugai, but now I think you are a good kid!"

Good kid?

Yumeno Hisasaku looked at him in surprise, not understanding how this person came to this conclusion from him. He pursed his lips: "But I have harmed many people..."

The child looked up at the boy: "My superpowers have harmed many people. They are all dead, and you almost died."

Akabane Higen rubbed the child's soft hair: "That's not what you want. If you can control your superpowers, it won't be like this."

Yumeno Hisasaku was originally a child, but because he was taken away by that scumbag and locked up in an environment like the mafia, he was forced or induced to do many things.

Children are easy to control, not to mention a child like Yumeno Hisasaku who can't control his superpowers, it's even easier to control.

Yumeno Hisasaku didn't say anything, but just stared at Akabane Higen for a long time, then looked away and whispered "Oh".

"Okay, okay, let's go now, we can go eat dessert!"

Akabane Higen took Yumeno Hisasaku's hand: "I saw a super great dessert shop on my phone, let's go!"

When they pushed open the door of the dessert shop and saw the people sitting around the only table with customers in the store, Akabane Higen stopped in his tracks.

He stood at the door and began to wonder if he was too complacent to forget the existence of the humanoid bug Ikawa Xia.

The young man who was wearing the same color clothes as him smiled at him: "Higen, what's wrong, come in."

Akabane Higen: ...

Damn fortune teller!!!

He walked to the table with Yumeno Hisasaku with his head down and placed Yumeno Hisasaku next to Ikawa Natsu, and then sat down between Edogawa Ranpo and Hirai Wataru who were sitting opposite.

"Ranpo-nii, Natsu."

He greeted the other two people listlessly, and then his eyes fell on the man who had been staring at him since he came in but never spoke: "Are you... my brother?"

Hirai Wataru looked at the boy sitting next to him. The boy's eyebrows and eyes were very delicate, with a little confusion and uneasiness on his face. From the boy's face, he could still vaguely see the shadow of the child in his memory.

The expression on his face eased, with a touch of tenderness between his brows, and he nodded gently: "It's me, Hitomi."

It was actually the first time that Akabane Hitomi saw this brother who was currently connected to him by blood in reality. Although he was a stranger, the blood flowing in his body told him that they should be the closest existence in this world.

He stared at Hirai Wataru in a daze, and then suddenly threw himself into his arms, wrapped his arms around his waist and buried his head in the man's chest, shouting: "Brother, it's brother..."

Hirai Wataru patted the boy's back with one hand and stroked the boy's black hair with the other hand, and said in a gentle voice: "Well, I'm here."

Akabane Hitomi lingered in Hirai Wataru's arms for a long time before reluctantly withdrawing.

A smile flashed across Hirai Wataru's face, and he said softly, "It's okay, you can hug me again in the future."

Seeing the embarrassed look on the boy's face, he changed the subject and said, "Would you like some dessert? The desserts here are delicious."

Ikawa Natsu pushed a plate of snacks in front of Yumeno Hisasaku and smiled at him faintly, "Eat."

So Yumeno Hisasaku ate his snacks while watching what was happening with Akabane Hina.

When Edogawa Ranpo saw him withdraw from Hirai Wataru's arms, he looked at the glasses on the boy's nose curiously: "Is this the new research?"

Akabane Higen nodded and handed the glasses to Edogawa Ranpo: "It's just a one-time thing. Although I also want a permanent one, the data collected so far is not enough."

"But the elimination type of supernatural power is really useful, but it's a pity that I don't have it."

"I can lend you Dazai for research." Edogawa Ranpo said.

Akabane Higen's heart was moved for a second, but then he shook his head: "Forget it, he must be very noisy."

Edogawa Ranpo also knew that he was just talking. He put the glasses on his face and looked at Akabane Higen: "Are you done using them?"

At this point, Akabane Higen became excited. He nodded and looked at Hirai Shigeru: "I just vented my anger on my brother!"

Hirai Shigeru smiled and fed him a bite of cake and asked him: "Well, how did you vent your anger?"

So Akabane Higen told him about what happened when he just met Mori Ugai, including but not limited to removing Alice's form and almost ruining Mori Ugai's image. Hirai Shigeru and others were stunned.

Ikawa Natsu laughed mercilessly: "You are worthy of being called Little Hina."

Hirai Wataru also smiled helplessly: "It doesn't matter to me, as long as you are fine."

Although it does sound very happy.

Mori Ogai: ???

Akabane Hina also laughed, and then looked at Ikawa Natsu: "Did you receive the things I sent before?"

He was relieved when he saw the man nod, and pouted his lips and said: "I thought it would be withheld by your dear best friend again."

Ikawa Natsu: The smile on his face suddenly froze.

"Not a best friend." He explained weakly.

Then he saw the boy nodded perfunctorily, turned around and whispered with Edogawa Ranpo, and no one knew what he was talking about.

Juchuan Xia: Tired JPG

I could have posted it earlier, but I had a new idea, so I started typing. By the time I listed the main plot, it was already so late (choked up).

So let's say good night.
