All those who were unconscious due to the game woke up.

They didn't even know what happened. They were more unconscious than after a good night's sleep. After hearing about their own experience, they were more surprised than their relatives and friends. In their memory, they just opened the game and felt a little sleepy, and then opened their eyes and it was now.

The hospital conducted a detailed examination on them and finally found that they had no problems, so they sent them home with peace of mind.

Mo Meng's new game was restored to its original state. After opening the game sound effects, it could actually be loaded into the game, and there were no more coma incidents. However, this brave and curious young man searched the entire game but could not find the game Easter eggs that Mo Meng had promoted at the beginning.

Finally, the official banned the game completely. No one could find the download address of this game anymore, and the matter was eventually left unresolved.

And the most important thing is that the president of Momeng Company, Hinohara Kazuchi, did not wake up. He was still in a coma, without any consciousness, and medical machines could only maintain his life.

Hinata Hajime stood in front of the hospital ward and looked at the person lying inside. The young man was lying quietly on the bed. His face was pale, but he was not in pain. He looked like he was simply sleeping and did not look like a patient at all. A nurse sat next to him, ready to deal with unexpected situations at any time.

"The president hasn't woken up yet. The doctor said the human brain is a magical thing. Maybe he will wake up tomorrow, or maybe he will sleep like this for the rest of his life." Mo Meng's vice president stood next to Hinata Hajime. "Of course, I don't think the president will really sleep like this."

"We don't know what happened to him, but he will definitely wake up, regroup, and continue to develop new games with us."

Hinata Hajime looked at the vice president, "Don't you feel sorry for that?"

"It's a shame, it was originally a very good game, but we can't keep regretting it." The vice president said: "The next one will be better."

"Ah, you're right." Hinata Hajime smiled, "You will definitely succeed."

[But...where did the fragment of hope go?] Hinata Hajime thought to himself at the same time.

Yes, Hinata Hajime did not recover the fragment of hope.

After waking up from the game, all the ordinary people involved woke up, and it seemed that everything was over. However, Hinata Hajime suddenly discovered that he did not see the fragment of hope, and there was not even a shadow of the fragment of despair. Hinata Hajime immediately went to the hospital where Hinohara Hajime was, only to find out that Hinohara Hajime had not woken up at all.

He was still in deep sleep, as if immersed in his own dream.

Up to now, a week has passed since the death game incident. Those who were in a coma have long since resumed their previous activities, and the military and police have also cleared everything, but Hinohara Kazuki is still not awake.

[This is so strange. According to our judgment, Hinohara should have woken up.]

[Deliu, do you have any ideas? 】

【Think for yourself.】

[Aren't we one person? Isn't it the same thing for you to let me think for myself or for you to help me think? ]

Kamizuru was silent for three seconds, [wasting time.]

Isn't that just wasting my time?

Hinata Sou thought so, of course he was very smart not to say it out loud, but said goodbye to the vice president and left. Some people outside the hospital were still talking about the grand death game incident, and some were gossiping about the current miserable situation of Mo Meng Company. After an accident in this game and the president fell into a coma, Mo Meng Game Company was pushed to the brink of bankruptcy by various breach of contract fees.

The vice president took on the pressure on his own and tried hard to find a way out.

It was difficult, but the vice president still insisted. He firmly believed that Hinohara would not give up everything and leave, and would definitely come back to fulfill their ideals.

[Looks like I can only stay here for a while longer.] Hinata Hajime said.

Kamizuru Izuru calmly glanced ahead, and when Hinata Hajime was about to step out the door, he spoke, "I advise you not to leave the hospital now."

[Huh?] Hinata Hajime was stunned for a moment, and the step he took stopped in mid-air, then he took a sudden step back, and then Hinata Hajime asked: [Why?]

【Someone is setting a trap.】

[Is there a person? A trap?]

Before Hinata Hajime could figure out what this meant, someone who had set up the trap noticed that Hinata Hajime had retracted his steps and knew that he had discovered it. So he ran out of the bushes without even pretending, and grabbed Hinata Hajime's bed with an anxious look on his face, "Hinata-kun! Something terrible has happened!"

"Mr. Dazai?"

Dazai Osamu nodded vigorously, "It's a big crisis! You must come with me!"

"Wait a minute!" Hinata raised his hands. "First of all, why did Mr. Dazai know I was here?"

Dazai Osamu blinked his eyes and then showed an innocent expression, "Don't worry about such a small matter!"

Is this a trivial matter that does not require any attention?

"Anyway, you come with me first." Dazai Osamu pulled Hinata Hajime out of the hospital. "I was originally going to pretend to meet Hinata-kun by chance when he came out, but Hinata-kun actually took his foot back. It's such a pity. This is such a strong reason!"

Hinata Hajime: ...How can I be so strong?

"What is it?"

"It's actually a commission." Dazai Osamu raised his index finger, looking serious. "Someone in the East District's residential building asked for help from the detective agency, saying that the mafia has been harassing them recently. Although they are just hooligans who threaten minors for money, you can call the police, but they are shameless. They will come back after the police leave. The residents were annoyed by the harassment and paid the commission."

"I hope the detective agency can drive them away completely."

Hinata Sou nodded, "But, this should be handled by the Port Mafia, right? Don't they consider themselves the managers of Yokohama's dark world?"

"This is because this small gang is based in Yokohama and is too cunning. They don't want to be on good terms with the Port Mafia, but they won't be hostile to them either. The Port Mafia, a profit-seeking organization, won't pay attention to such petty riots." Dazai Osamu sighed, "The Detective Agency has also dealt with them several times. They are definitely villains who bully the weak and fear the strong."

"so?"

"So we need a scary person to scare them so that they won't dare to hang around here again." Dazai Osamu smiled wickedly, "Hinata-kun, come dress up!"

Hinata Hajime: ???

"Huh? Why?" Hinata Hajime was shocked.

"Of course it's the result of careful consideration!" Dazai said angrily, "Hinata-kun, think about the members of our detective agency. Tanizaki is obviously not suitable, Kenji is still a child, Atsushi will be bullied at first glance, and Mr. Ranpo has no fear at all! We can't let Ms. Yosano, a weak doctor, go into battle!"

Hinata Hajime twitched his lips, "...Mr. Kunikida?"

"No!" Dazai Osamu made a wrong gesture, "Kunikida asked for leave today. He has to meet an important notebook producer. And Kunikida was the one who came forward the last few times. I guess those hooligans are no longer afraid of Kunikida's ugly face."

"Hinata-kun! We are all depending on you!"

Hinata Hajime stepped back and said, "But I don't have any shocking power. Don't people say I'm a very friendly person?"

"What are you talking about, Hinata-kun?" Dazai continued to smirk, "Let Kamiya-kun come, the one who..."

Dazai Osamu said this with a stern face, looking at the trees beside him as if they were trash, and then deliberately lowered his voice, "Boring."

Hinata Hajime: ...

Mr. Dazai, you are really not afraid of death.

【Perhaps he wants to hear the results of a psychiatrist's survey on the self-harm tendencies of people with psychological problems.】

[…Outflow? ]

【Normal people would be interested in this. 】

"Hinata-kun, your expression is so subtle." Dazai Osamu came over, "Did that taciturn guy say anything?"

No, Mr. Dazai, I don't think you want to hear it.

"Forget it. I don't want to listen to him. If I listen to him, I will shorten my life by three years." Dazai Osamu spread his hands. "Come to think of it, the dark history that Hinata Hajime told in the King's Game was about Kamiya-kun, right? I think that kind of middle school feeling, there is no one else but Kamiya-kun."

"Mr. Dazai." Hinata Hajime spoke.

"What?"

Hinata Hajime looked at him helplessly, "If you continue talking, Izuku will make you surrounded by women for ten years. Even when you jump into the river, there will be people who will pick you up. Maybe you will even be imprisoned."

Dazai Osamu: ...?

"How?"

"He has some talent for programming." Hinata Hajime said, "It's easy to make an AI that can report Mr. Dazai's location anytime and anywhere. After all, Mr. Dazai can't get rid of electronic products no matter what."

Dazai Osamu fell into deep thought.

People like you should not casually call superpowers talents. This is not something that ordinary people can do!

"Anyway, I leave it to you, Hinata-kun!" Dazai Osamu patted Hinata Hajime's shoulder solemnly, "I'll go stabilize the leader of that small organization first. Hinata-kun, remember to come in at the best time and scare them with your unstoppable momentum so that they won't dare to come again!"

"But……"

Hinata Hajime stretched out his hand, and then saw Dazai Osamu slip into the crowd like a rabbit and disappear, leaving only a piece of paper with an address on it that Dazai Osamu stuffed into his hand.

【Outflow.】

【I refuse.】

【I haven’t said anything yet.】

【Your thoughts are easy to guess. 】

[But, I actually think that Dazai Osamu's suggestion is good.] Hinata Hajime looked at the address and walked forward, [Izuru, don't be so resistant to the outside world. Although this world may be boring to you, if you keep going like this, maybe even this feeling of boredom will disappear.]

[After all, many times, although it is boring, it is not as unbearable to watch as imagined. ]

Hinata Sou exhaled, "I still hope you can get more exposure to this world."

【Your theory is not supported by any data at all.】

[Ah... do you want to talk about data?] Hinata Hajime muttered helplessly.

【But you can try. 】

Hinata Hajime was stunned for a moment, then he covered the lower half of his face with one hand, and a smile appeared in his green eyes.

If it's something you want me to try, I will try it. After all, there will never be any need for defense between us, and it will never become a barrier between us.

…

In the Higashi-ku area of ​​Yokohama, Osamu Dazai sat at a table in a bar with a cocktail in front of him. The barley-colored liquor was bubbling and tasted like a refreshing citrus. It looked quite pleasing to the eye, if the foam in the liquor was not made by fruit-flavored detergent.

Yes, Dazai's wish that could not be realized in other bars was realized! The bartender really gave him a glass of wine mixed with detergent.

Looking at this rare distilled sake, Dazai Osamu fell into deep thought.

Should he say that the bar owner hated him so much that he wanted to poison him, or should he say that the bar owner liked him so much that he would fulfill any request he made?

Anyway... this is the headquarters of the gangster organization BM.

"Mr. Dazai, nice to see you again." At this time, the leader of BM walked out from inside the bar. He was wearing a sophisticated black suit, with a cigar between his fingers and sunglasses in the dark bar, looking like "I am the leader of a legitimate mafia."

Speaking of which, Dazai Osamu really admires the leader of this organization. He has survived for so long under the rule of the port mafia, living in a small bar, and threatening minors all year round, but he can still dress like this to show that he is not simple.

Dazai Osamu picked up the cup, then was intoxicated by the smell of cheap detergent and pushed it away in disgust.

"You should know why I'm here, right?" Dazai Osamu said with a smile, "Look, they have already commissioned the detective agency. Do you want to find another place to develop?"

"Of course, of course. After all, it was Mr. Dazai who came, so of course we will give him this honor." The BM leader said generously, "Huh? Mr. Dazai is the only one coming this time. Mr. Kunikida didn't come along? The last time Mr. Kunikida asked us to go to junior high school for class, it was really impressive."

Dazai nodded, "Kunikida is busy. I came with someone else this time. He is still on his way."

The BM leader's eyes rolled around, and he was silently making his own calculations in his mind.

To be honest, BM is not really afraid of the Armed Detective Agency. After all, they are just minor troublemakers and at most they threaten a few minors. The Armed Detective Agency is linked to the military and police, so it is absolutely impossible for them to get serious. After all, they are not that bad.

so……

The BM leader coughed and said, "Although we really want to move to another place, Mr. Dazai, you know that our organization is full of poor people, otherwise we wouldn't have fallen to this point. So, I can only verbally restrict them. There is nothing I can do if I really can't control them."

Dazai Osamu smiled and said, "Oh, don't say that for now. Let's discuss it again after my companions come."

"I think Dazai-san can decide for himself."

Dazai Osamu leaned back in his chair, his iris-colored eyes showing an expression of watching a good show, "No, it's better to wait for my companions."

Although Dazai Osamu has a hundred ways to get these people out of Yokohama, it is still not interesting enough. He really wants to see what Hinata-kun, who has always been very friendly, will do. He has some similarities with Kamizuru Izuru, but he has never seen him so threatening.

It’s interesting to think about.

The BM leader lazily sat back in his seat, "When will Mr. Dazai's companions come over?"

Dazai Osamu smiled and said, "It's here now."

With a creak, the door of the bar was opened and Kamijou Izuru walked in step by step. He was wearing a black suit and a black tie. His expression was cold and his steps were at the intervals set by a machine, without any error.

"You're really late, Kamiya-kun." Dazai Osamu stood up, "But it's not too late."

Kamuzuru Izuru calmly looked at the BM leader opposite him. At the moment of eye contact, the cigar in the BM leader's hand fell.

Compared to him, a regular mafia member, Kamijou Izuru at this moment was more like a thorough mafia member. Obviously, the black suit he wore was not of mafia style, but he was scarier than anyone else. His red eyes seemed to hint at what kind of bloody storm he had experienced.

What? What the hell?!

Why is there such an investigator in the Armed Detective Agency!

The BM leader was a coward, a coward who only bullied the weak and feared the strong. The moment he saw Kamisaki's flow, his legs went weak.

"The leader on the other side seems to want to negotiate with us." Dazai Osamu said with a smile: "Oh, I'm really interested in what terms he can come up with."

"No, no, no!" BM leader almost jumped up, "I was just saying casually... this, sir?"

The BM leader no longer dared to speak, because on the opposite side, Kamiya Izuru raised his hand. In his hand was a wooden rifle, with the muzzle of the gun pointed directly at him.

"Huh?!" The BM leader raised his hands in fear.

"Ah!" Dazai Osamu touched his pocket and found that the pocket where he kept Kikura was empty. "When did Kamiya-kun take it away? Damn it! I didn't even notice it!"

"Wasting time." Kamukura Izuru said expressionlessly the first words he said after coming here. "Since you don't want to listen, then just go to hell."

Before the BM leader could react, Kamiya Izuru pulled the trigger. With a bang, the bullet shot out of the gun and directly grazed his cheek, leaving a trail of blood. The BM leader looked at Kamiya Izuru in horror, then let out a terrifying scream and ran away crawling.

In an instant, the entire bar was empty, leaving only Dazai Osamu sitting there blinking.

"Wow, he's even more powerful than I thought." Dazai picked up the Kura that was thrown in front of him, "Kamiya-kun really has the qualifications to be a villain!"

"Boring." Kamiya Izuru sat across from Dazai Osamu, "If that's all you want to say to me, then shut up."

"But speaking of which, when you shot, didn't Hinata-kun stop you?" Dazai Osamu asked curiously.

Kamukura Izuru looked at Dazai Osamu as if he was a fool.

[Dazai Osamu's act of pretending to be stupid only makes him more annoying, but he doesn't seem to realize it.] Kamukura Izuru thought calmly: [Humans will never know what they are doing is wrong unless they pay the price.]

[Wait a minute!] Hinata Hajime spoke quickly, [Dazai’s crime does not deserve the death penalty!]

Kamiya Izuru casually glanced at the cocktail on the table, [Three parts distilled wine, three parts ice cubes, and finally add four parts detergent and stir.]

【Um?】

[Only by letting him drink this glass of wine will he know what he can drink and what he cannot drink.]

[Outing and murder prohibited! 】

Dazai Osamu, who was standing opposite Kamuzuru Izuru, touched his chin. He had no idea that Kamuzuru Izuru was about to make him drink a whole cup of detergent distilled sake, nor did he know how hard Hinata Sou had tried to stop Kamuzuru Izuru.

He only knew that Kamiya Chuliu, the taciturn man, was looking at him with disdain again.

So...what made him so despised?
