The atmosphere is noisy and the decorations in the amusement park are full of childish fun.

The square in front of the park entrance was empty, with passers-by scattered everywhere, including couples, parents with children, and students. Some of them were waiting for someone, while others were just taking pictures and playing in the square.

The sound of conversations created low-decibel white noise, which was particularly atmospheric.

Even if it is an armed detective agency, one can temporarily blend into the atmosphere there.

Edogawa Ranpo and Miyazawa Kenji were running in the front, the Tanizaki siblings were walking in the middle, Kunikida Dopo and Yosano Akiko, who were relatively calm, were not walking so fast, and Fukuzawa Yukichi and Haruno Kirako were walking at the end.

Munechika and Dazai Osamu just walked to the second floor of the mall, and they could easily see the distribution of people by looking down.

The fence where they were standing was made of transparent glass. Ranpo Edogawa ran to the front of the giant animal statue and noticed the two people standing on the second floor at a glance. He pointed at them and shouted angrily, "Hey, Dazai! You're late!"

I was late for the appointment with Ranpo-sama and it was not that late!

"Oh no, I've been discovered." Dazai Osamu said in a tone of despair, but his posture did not show any sign of that.

He stood there waving his hands and shouting, "I'm coming right over here," without even quickening his pace.

"Didn't you take this route on purpose?" Munechika could still tell what was unintentional and what was deliberate. After all, when they were familiar with each other to a certain extent, and the other party did not hide anything, Dazai Osamu was not that difficult to see through.

"Yes." Dazai Osamu did not hide it at all. He raised his chin towards the detectives gathered below, "How is it?"

Munechika was confused, not knowing what he wanted to ask: "What?"

"Is the atmosphere good?" Dazai smiled and said, "Everyone is a very nice person."

"Even if they don't agree on time or schedule, they can be said to be quite familiar with each other, especially if you go, Chuuya."

Munechika blinked, as if he had a premonition of what Dazai Osamu was going to say next.

"Don't be shy, and don't always focus on one person."

The wind blew up Dazai Osamu's windbreaker, and those iris-colored eyes looked at him. For a moment, Munechika was completely unable to see through the emotions in those eyes.

From what Munechika said, we can tell that he paid attention to his colleagues and had some understanding of his former partners. Maybe they had some limited communication with him a few times, but that was all.

The person he spent the most time with was Dazai Osamu, and the person he cared about the most was Tai

Zaizhi.

Perhaps Munechika didn't realize it, but Dazai Osamu over there occupied almost all of his time outside of work.

When he arrived at the detective agency, even though everyone in the detective agency was his colleague, Sochinchu had no intention of staying, nor did he seem to be eager to stay. His only thought of staying here was to go back, and even though he didn't seem to be in a hurry, Dazai could tell at a glance what he was planning.

However, Sochin also knew that Ranpo liked snacks and knew a lot of people's little preferences. He admired his colleagues and respected them in his heart. At least this shows that he values ​​his colleagues very much. This level of attention means that if there is a chance to take a step further and become a close colleague or friend with them, Sochin will definitely not refuse.

Come on.

He totally deserves it.

In addition to wanting to help Sochinaka take that step, Dazai Osamu had a more special reason.

He looked at Munechika in front of him, whose pupils widened slightly because of his words, and black mud unconsciously rose around the edge of his heart.

How could Dazai Osamu over there have all the monopolization for such an obedient Nakahara Chuuya!

Damn it, his dog had already run away.

"..." Munechika stretched out his hand to touch his hat, but because Dazai Osamu refused to let him wear a hat that morning, he could only grab the straps of his backpack and responded helplessly, "Ah, um..."

"Sa, let's go~!" Dazai Osamu put his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker and walked briskly towards the elevator entrance.

…

“Too slow!”

Edogawa Ranpo said to Dazai Osamu: "You are already late, but you are still so slow and keep Ranpo-sama waiting!"

Kunikida Dopo stood aside, opened the ideal notebook in his hand, and pushed his glasses: "That's right, Dazai, everyone is waiting for you."

Perhaps because the president was present, he was not particularly excited. He just raised his head, turned his back to the president, and glared at Dazai Osamu harshly.

"Sorry." Munechika couldn't help but lowered his head in embarrassment.

Although he was not mentioned, it was late and both of them had responsibilities. In addition, I was a little distracted after hearing what Dazai said just now, and followed him, forgetting that there were people waiting.

...It wasn't even just one person, it was a group of people waiting for the two of them.

"Ah, it's okay." Kunikida's eyes fell on Munechika. He was also a little at a loss. In his impression, Munechika was also excellent and polite. He subconsciously pushed his glasses again, "Anyway, it must be that Dazai guy who is leading the bad guys."

"Oh, I didn't!"

Munechika felt his arm being poked and turned his head.

It was Miyazawa Kenji.

Miyazawa Kenji smiled brightly at him and said, "Hello, nice to see you again."

Munechika relaxed and raised the corners of his lips slightly.

Tanizaki Junichiro and Tanizaki Naomi also came over to say hello, and the atmosphere here was particularly friendly.

After a few more words, Yoseno Akiko interrupted them by shielding the sun with her hands: "The sun is getting bigger and bigger, can we go in?"

Dazai Osamu stopped talking nonsense, turned around and came to Edogawa Ranpo, clasped his hands together and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Lord Ranpo, please forgive me~"

Munechika saw that Dazai Osamu was halfway through his speech when he put down one hand and made a gesture to his side where no one else could see.

Then Edogawa Ranpo was obviously excited, but he suppressed it, "Well, in that case, Ranpo-sama will reluctantly forgive you! Let's go, let's go, let's go play!"

ah……

Munechika suddenly realized, is it the snack shop that Dazai Osamu went to on his way here? Dazai Osamu went in and picked some and put them in his bag. It turns out that this is used for making this!

He paid for it.

Luckily, I left most of the money to Chuuya before leaving, so the money I had on me was barely enough.

I originally wanted to use it just in case. After all, we were just going out to have fun, so I could buy water or popsicles for the people around me. Also... I didn't want to trouble the detectives, so I decided to pay for it myself.

The ticket price for entering the amusement park without doing any of the attractions should not be expensive, right?

Munechika was pulled back, and then he started to run. He squinted his eyes against the sunlight and unexpectedly found that it was Ranpo Edogawa.

The team that had originally gathered together was pulled apart and formed into a long line. Dazai Osamu walked in the back, holding his heart and sighing: "Ah, it's so good, so energetic, am I really getting old?"

Kunikida Dopo and Yosano Akiko didn't even glance at him, they just walked past him without even looking at him.

Only the president and Haruno Kirako, who was holding an umbrella beside them, did not move.

"President?" Dazai Osamu turned around and followed the other person's line of sight to a distance where a child was playing with a wild cat outside the amusement park. He understood: "Ah~ It's a cat."

On the rooftop of a high-rise building closest to the amusement park, his white cape fluttered in the hunting wind. He looked at the ochre-colored little man who stood out in the sunlight. “Is that him?”

The headset made a connection sound, and then a voice came out.

[Yes, please bring him back to me.]
