Chapter 43

Nakajima Atsushi was still wondering if he had heard it wrong, but the other people with sharp ears and eyes had heard it clearly. Hirai Wataru looked at Dazai Osamu lying on the sofa without any image, sighed helplessly, and shouted: "Dazai."

"Huh? What's wrong Wataru?"

Dazai Osamu looked up at him lazily, he seemed very sleepy, with a sleepy face.

The other people in the detective agency seemed to understand that something was wrong with the scene at this time. They looked at each other, and finally returned to their posts under the sweep of Edogawa Ranpo, but they were still paying attention to this place secretly.

Akabane Hitomi also understood what Hirai Wataru was going to do, with a soft smile on his lips, he let Hirai Wataru lead his hand and walk to Dazai Osamu, with a faint smile in his eyes.

Seeing Hirai Wataru walking to him with a serious face, Dazai Osamu sat up subconsciously and cast a doubtful look at Hirai Wataru.

Hirai Shige put his arm around the boy's shoulders, a gentle smile on his face, and introduced him to Dazai Osamu: "Dazai, this kid is my younger brother, please give him your guidance in the future."

"Hinami actually doesn't have any bad intentions, he's just young and likes to play a little, and what happened before was because of me."

Akabane Higen gave Dazai Osamu an apologetic smile: "Sorry, Dazai brother, I was wrong about what happened before."

Dazai Osamu didn't expect Hirai Shige to introduce Akabane Higen to him so formally, and some of the unhappiness in his heart dissipated a lot because of this, but Akabane Higen's sweet "Dazai brother" made him get goosebumps all over his body. He shrank back on the sofa in fear and screamed in fear:

"Wow, why is your name as sticky as a certain sticky dwarf!!!"

"Don't shout like that! Change it! Change it quickly!!!"

Akabane Higen still had a well-behaved smile on his face: "Then how do you want me to call you, Dazai-san? You are my friend, so it's okay for me to call you brother."

Dazai Osamu opened his mouth, not quite sure what to say, but the boy immediately said in a very excited tone:

"Does Dazai-san like the previous name very much, then I..."

"No, no, no!"

He doesn't like it!

Dazai Osamu waved his hands quickly and looked at Hirai Shigeru with a pained look. He didn't know if it was Akabane Higen's illusion, but he found that there was a pleading look in Dazai Osamu's eyes.

In fact, it's not that Dazai Osamu is afraid of Akabane Higen or something. If it was anyone else, he would have definitely fought back long ago, but... the boy is Hirai Shigeru's biological brother, and Shigeru cares about the boy so much, he doesn't dare to treat the boy like he treats other people.

After all, Dazai Osamu is a coward.

Hirai Wataru: ...

He coughed, patted the boy's shoulder, and said helplessly: "Hi."

He now understood why Matsumoto Tetsu said that the original body liked to make trouble, but looking at the boy's smart and cunning eyes, he couldn't say anything to condemn it, and could only sigh helplessly.

Akabane Higen also knew when to stop. He narrowed his eyes and called Dazai Osamu normally, "Mr. Dazai."

Then when Dazai Osamu breathed a sigh of relief, he continued, "I'm glad to meet you. I'm also glad that my brother has a friend like you."

"Thank you for taking care of my brother in the past. I hope you will continue to take care of me in the future!"

The boy stood beside Hirai Shigeru, his eyebrows curved and a genuine smile on his face. Although it looked like a frivolous expression, his eyes were serious.

Dazai was choked, and then he lay back on the sofa, quickly covering his face with the "Complete Suicide Manual", and a vague voice came from under the book: "What... I know!"

Oh, Shibu-chan's younger brother is really annoying!

Really, why did he suddenly say such a thing? Does

he think that he will forget what happened before by saying this?

Dazai thought aimlessly, well, well, he really didn't care.

Although he was really shocked and got into a dead end when he saw Akabane Higen removing Alice from her supernatural form at first, but later he thought about it carefully and understood what was going on. After all, the boy didn't have any supernatural powers.

However, Dazai Osamu's face looked strange for a moment, as if the bald uncle didn't understand.

That's right, after all, not everyone can find the information covered by the intelligence house, and they are also taking advantage of Hirai Wataru.

Thinking of this, he felt happy, and even looked forward to the expression of Mori Ogai after he knew the truth of the matter, which must be very beautiful.

Although his movements were fast, Akabane Higen still saw the flash of red ears, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more real.

Oda Sakunosuke sighed calmly: "Dazai is shy!"

Shy, shy? !

Nakajima Atsushi, who was closest to him, heard his words and looked at Dazai Osamu, who was covered with a blanket on the sofa, in surprise. "Mr. Dazai would be shy?"

He murmured, obviously shocked.

Akabane Higen also heard what Oda Sakunosuke said, but he didn't say anything. He just smiled at Oda Sakunosuke and turned around and bowed to everyone in the detective agency: "Thank you very much for taking care of my brother during this time!"

Why, why are you so serious all of a sudden? !

Everyone in the detective agency was a little embarrassed. In fact, they didn't take care of Hirai Wataru. It can even be said that Hirai Wataru was taking care of them. After all, he was a former cadre of the port mafia, and his military strength was naturally very high.

So they all turned their eyes to Edogawa Ranpo. Since the president was not there, only Mr. Ranpo could represent them.

Edogawa Ranpo just raised his eyes and pouted towards the door.

"No need. He should take good care of the detective agency." Fukuzawa Yukichi's voice came from the door, and Kunikida Dopo stood beside him.

Akabane Higen's eyes lit up, and he smiled at Fukuzawa Yukichi: "Long time no see, Uncle Fukuzawa."

Long time no see? Has

my younger brother met the president before?

No, no, if Mr. Ranpo has met him before, then it is not a strange question to have met the president before.

In his early years, Fukuzawa Yukichi took Edogawa Ranpo to participate in a competition. When they came back, Edogawa Ranpo asked them to meet Akabane Higen, so they took a detour to Akabane's house and stayed there for a few days. Therefore, Fukuzawa Yukichi and Akabane Higen were acquainted.

He still had a good impression of this child. After all, he was well-behaved and capable, unlike Ranpo at that time, who liked to make trouble. Although later, because of Ranpo, he felt that he was a little restrained as a brother.

"Long time no see, Akabane." Fukuzawa Yukichi's expression eased a little and nodded to the boy.

Then they walked into the meeting room together, and it seemed that they were going to discuss what to do next.

Dazai Osamu showed one eye from under the book page and looked towards the conference room, his eyes flashing, and then when he looked away, he met Edogawa Ranpo's eyes. Under

his blank gaze, Edogawa Ranpo smiled at him, and then silently uttered a few words: "Coward."

Dazai Osamu: ...

Dazai Osamu chose to play dead. He closed the book again, crossed his hands on his stomach, and quietly acted like a corpse.

Edogawa Ranpo retracted his gaze and hummed in his heart. Even though Mingjian was so good, Dazai still got stuck in a dead end. Really.

He squinted his eyes and bit the chocolate bar. So, after all, it’s still up to the reliable Ranpo-sama to help!

--------------------

Akabane: Dazai-nii...

Dazai Osamu: Help me, don’t call me like that! ! ! Shiba-chan, you should take care of him!!!

Shiba-chan (suddenly realized): The original body is really noisy.
