Chapter 147 Yokohama Special Ability High School

Chapter 147 Yokohama Special Ability High School

Sengenmaku originally wanted to go directly to Edogawa Ranpo the next day.

However, when I said this to Nakai, Nakai looked a little hesitant.

How should I describe it? It's probably an expression like 'Ranpo-san doesn't think you can go tomorrow.'

However, Qian Jianmu didn't pay much attention to this subtle change in expression. He didn't care what the future would bring. He returned to his room after dinner, made the quilt and lay down, and fell into a sleepy state in a second.

Because he was too tired and because he finally regained a sense of security, he even fell into a long deep sleep. It was not yet nine o'clock in the evening when he fell asleep, but when he woke up the next day, it was already bright.

Qian Jianmu looked out the window blankly for a while, then yawned slowly.

He moved his fingers and found that the black cat had been taking a nap beside him. After being woken up, it yawned along with him.

Probably, he was driven out by Ayatsuji Yukito again.

Thinking of this, he lowered his head and rubbed its fur, but the next moment, Qian Jianmu paused.

His eyes slowly narrowed, his gaze suddenly became sharp, and he directly lifted up the belly of the black cat.

A stressed-out little calico cat finally took a breath and stood up shakily.

Three...three flowers? Mr. Natsume——?

But this cat is only a few months old, while Mr. Natsume’s cat is already a very healthy adult cat!

Holding the kitten in his hands, Qian Jianmu lowered his head and stared at it for a while, then looked at the innocent black cat. The black cat came over and sniffed it, then licked the kitten's pussy twice and meowed.

So, it was Black Cat who picked up the pet for himself?

Or...wife?

The cat keeper at the shrine is Ayatsuji Yukito. Chigenmaku put on his coat and went to knock on his door. At that time, Ayatsuji Yukito had just woken up. His sleep and rest habits were not very healthy to begin with, and he was sitting lazily on a chair admiring the doll opposite him.

When he opened the door and saw the kitten, he was also stunned.

"...? Where did it come from?"

“It seems like it brought it back.”

There were bite marks on the back of the neck, and the black cat had been following him closely. Chigenmaku handed the cat over to Ayatsuji Yukito. The blond young man looked down and spoke with some hesitation.

"A tomcat?"

His puzzled look clearly said: Isn't this your cat?

Qian Jianmu hesitated a little.

Could something have happened to Teacher Natsume? After all, it is not easy to find a second male calico cat in Yokohama. This cat really looks like Natsume-sensei.

While the two were wondering about each other, an unexpected incident happened at the shrine.

"Is there anyone?"

The man walked over slowly, his voice was lazy and a little annoying.

"Maku-kun? I'm here to report the results of the stage~Maku-kun? Mu-kun! Mu-kun--"

“…”

Now it's easy to tell who it is.

Dazai! It’s good that you came!

Chijianmu turned around and quickly went around the house to find Dazai Osamu. Dazai was standing there, looking down at his phone. When he heard his footsteps, he glanced at him lightly, then paused and stared at the calico cat in his arms.

"Come on! Touch it."

However, despite such a warm invitation, Dazai Osamu frowned in resistance.

"…Who is he?"

"I don't know, you'll know once you touch it."

"Hey...wait a minute...wait a minute..." Dazai Osamu took several steps back with a strange expression: "I haven't seen it, but if it is a supernatural power, will there be clothes when it comes into contact?"

"...Yes." Qian Jianmu was silent for a moment, his tone a little uncertain.

"So, you don't know either, right?" Tasting something different in his silence, Dazai Osamu said with a bitter face: "I don't want to, I don't want to touch a strange old man, absolutely not."

Ever since he saw the shocking scene before, Dazai Osamu has become a little bit afraid of men, and he really doesn't want to accept this.

"Okay." Chimamu thought for a moment, stuffed the cat to Ayatsuji Yukito who was following behind, and took out his cell phone: "Then I'll call that person."

"So, shouldn't you call first?" Dazai Osamu said faintly: "This is not how you use your supernatural powers!"

However, just as he finished complaining, the call was connected. Qian Jianmu held the phone and vaguely heard the sound of a phone ringing.

The ringtone was very small, even a little too faint, but the shrine was quiet and peaceful, and the five senses of the people present were very sensitive. They immediately realized that the ringtone was obviously not coming from a mobile phone, but from... the sky not far away.

A few people slowly approached, looked up, and saw a calico cat holding a mobile phone in its mouth. It hung up the call with a click, and looking at its tail, it was obviously in a stage of regret and remorse.

A strong wind blew by, and several people squinted their eyes and saw a man with three-colored, smooth short hair appear out of thin air under the tree.

"Dazai-kun, the use of supernatural powers includes clothes."

Natsume Soseki was clearly able to hold his head. He spoke calmly, word by word, and then turned his gaze:

"Chiken-kun, and this is... Ayatsuji-kun?"

"Um."

Ayatsuji Yukito narrowed his eyes and responded.

"Sorry for the impoliteness of my visit, but could you please spare me a moment...?" Natsume Soseki looked at Sengenmaku, only to see Sengenmaku turn around, pick up a calico kitten, and compare it with him, with a serious expression on his face.

"...Exactly the same." He exclaimed.

"Is he an illegitimate child?" Dazai Osamu came over and talked loudly without thinking too much.

"Calico cats are infertile." Qian Jianmu discussed seriously.

“But he’s human.”

"That being said."

…

Natsume Soseki looked at the two people speechlessly, but the two people knew how to control the rhythm and stopped their complaints about him. Just when he thought they could finally get down to business, he saw Ayatsuji Yukito rubbing against Dazai Osamu with the cat.

Dazai Osamu paused, and the calico cat did not change at all.

"It's just a cat."

Although he only said five words, everyone present had the illusion that they were being looked down upon. Ayatsuji Yukito held the cat in his arms, nodded, and turned away.

In fact, he was not very willing to get involved in Qian Jianmu and the others' affairs. He really had no interest in them.

Judging from the direction he was going, he was probably going to give the kitten a bath and deworm it, or maybe there would be a new addition to the family.

Happy and abstract times are always so short. Qian Jianmu sighed and turned to look at the two of them.

"Let's go to the reception room and talk."

***

Sengenmaku didn't quite understand why Natsume Soseki came, but seeing that Dazai Osamu kept his mouth shut and looked like he was waiting for Natsume Soseki to finish speaking, he poured Natsume Soseki a cup of tea.

"No need, just sit for a while and then leave."

Natsume Soseki was very familiar with shrines. He put his hat on the table, tapped the desktop with his fingertips, and his tone was quite strange.

"Chijian-kun seems to have grown a lot taller."

The manifestation of time on Qian Jianmu was too obvious, and this was a difference that Qian Jianmu could not conceal at all. He could simulate his own shell, but he couldn't make his appearance smaller.

Sengenmaku said nothing, but just smiled at Natsume Soseki.

The white-haired boy has bright golden eyes and a quiet smile. While it shocks people, it also brings a sense of inexplicable caution.

After looking at him for a while, Natsume Soseki sighed.

"Whatever."

The man in front of him seemed to have a lot to say. I don’t know what happened in the past month. He looked at Dazai Osamu a few more times, with a hint of thought in his eyes, as if he was worried about something, but finally gave up.

He stood up, his tone firm.

"Since you have already obtained the supernatural license, I won't say anything more to you. My lifelong pursuit is this land under my feet. It is not an exaggeration to say that I love it deeply."

Chigenmaku's smile suddenly froze for a moment. He heard a muffled laugh from Dazai Osamu, who was always paying attention to him. The sudden change in his expression was too short. Because of his position, Natsume Soseki didn't see it clearly. He just heard the young man say in a light tone:

"My friends live here." So he will not do anything to Yokohama, and will protect Yokohama's stability if necessary.

So will your 'friends' do anything about Yokohama? When that time comes, how will you face it?

Natsume Soseki looked deeply at Sengenmaku, then glanced past Dazai Osamu and picked up his hat from the table.

"Of course, that's best."

He paused:

“I am looking forward to your next book.”

It was obvious that Natsume Soseki didn't want to say anything more in front of Dazai Osamu. Sengenmaku saw him off, but only saw a calico cat jumping down the stairs with cat steps.

He stood quietly for a while, turned around, and took a deep breath.

“…Dazai.”

"Um?"

Without outsiders around, Dazai Osamu lay directly on the tatami, fiddling with the paper and pen on the table.

"What's wrong?"

"A supernatural power business license." Qian Jianmu asked word by word: "What is the supernatural power business license?"

He was only gone for a month, not a year, right? How did you get the license to open a business with special abilities?

If Endo Shusaku's religion were to be established, it would cause endless harm to Yokohama. He has thought about this, so how could it succeed?

"Ah, this, thanks to the 500 billion from Baku-kun..." Dazai raised the corner of his lips: "But it's not that religion. Although Endo also helped a little, it is indeed not a religion."

The two fingers stretched out were close together, but it didn't seem like just a little bit.

"What kind of supernatural power business license is that?" Qian Jianmu asked in a strange tone.

"Hmm..." The bandaged boy put his fingers into the inside pocket of his coat and smiled vaguely. The snow-white envelope circled in his hands, like a magician waiting for the audience's response. Only after waiting for the reaction he expected did he gently press the envelope on the table.

"Maku-kun, the supernatural business license symbolizes Yokohama's immunity from supernatural crimes. It is not valuable in itself. Those good-for-nothings can't control Yokohama, so only violent groups like the Mafia would spend the effort to compete on it... Of course, it doesn't mean it's easy to get it. At least the current Supernatural Special Service Department has only approved less than five. Except for the Armed Detective Agency, the others are not worth it at all."

Chijianmu had discussed this with him before, but did not go into detail. He was recalling the information about the supernatural license and waiting for Dazai to finish.

"Endo Shusaku should have prepared a complete process report, so I will just tell you the results directly."

Dazai Osamu's smile grew brighter and brighter, and he stared at Chijianmaku, not wanting to miss even a single expression on his face.

In fact, he rushed to the shrine as soon as he received the news just to see Sengenmaku's expression.

"Here is the supernatural power business license of Yokohama Special Powers High School, of which you are the principal."

"……?"

ah? What?

Dazai Osamu, what have you done? !
