In a private room of the Port Mafia that was specially used to receive guests, three officials of the Port Mafia were already sitting in their seats with different expressions.

Arisa Musashi, who arrived early, could hardly keep the smile on his face. He tried to talk to Dazai Osamu, but was choked back by Dazai Osamu. Then, Arisa Musashi, who was smart, finally realized the shortcomings of the plan he had just come up with.

If you want to create discord, you must first make sure that Dazai Osamu is really at odds with Kiyohara Jun. However, based on Dazai Osamu's performance just now, they are obviously not at odds with each other. On the contrary, Dazai Osamu is very protective of Kiyohara Jun.

After all, just now Yamabushi had tried to say two bad things about Kiyohara Jun in a veiled way, and he received a murderous look from Dazai Osamu.

Although the young man still had a gentle smile on his face, Ariyama Musashi saw murderous intent in his iris-colored eyes.

After stumbling over Dazai Osamu and failing in his attempt to talk to Ozaki Koyo, Ariyama Musashi had no choice but to put away his sinister plans.

In fact, if it were normal, Dazai Osamu would still be interested in playing with Arisama Musashi, but Dazai Osamu, who had just entered a new state, had other things on his mind and was in no mood to play with a villain like Arisama Musashi.

Just when there was complete silence in the private room, the door suddenly opened.

Kiyohara Jun was the first to walk in through the door opened by the attendants, followed by Fukuzawa Yukichi and Edogawa Ranpo.

"Captain Kiyohara, why don't I see Chief Taneda?" Ariyama Musashi stood up from his seat, smiled at Kiyohara Jun, and asked curiously, "Has Chief Taneda left..."

Facing the temptation from Ariyama Musashi, Kiyohara Jun did not hide much. He just said lightly: "Section Chief Taneda has reached an agreement with me and went to meet his subordinates."

When hearing what Kiyohara Jun said, Ariyama Musashi was obviously stunned.

He originally thought that Kiyohara Jun's attitude towards Taneda Santohuo would not be much better, and Taneda Santohuo would be treated similarly to him. But now Taneda Santohuo's negotiations have been successfully concluded?

He never expected that Taneda Santoka came for normal negotiations, but he was full of malicious intent towards Ariyama Musashi during the negotiations, and thus fell into confusion.

"Chief." Ozaki Kouyo, Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuuya, who originally had different expressions, stood up and saluted Kiyohara Jun after Kiyohara Jun came in.

Nodding slightly to the three of them, Qingyuan Jun responded, "Yes."

Fukuzawa Yukichi and Edogawa Ranpo, who came in closely following Kiyohara Jun, both turned slightly to the side when Ozaki Koyo and the other two saluted - Edogawa Ranpo, who had no awareness of turning sideways, was reminded by Fukuzawa Yukichi - and avoided their salute. Then, after the three of them stood up, Fukuzawa Yukichi, who was in the lead, nodded to the three of them.

"This must be the president of the Armed Detective Agency, Mr. Fukuzawa." Ozaki Koiyo said with a smile, "I am Ozaki Koiyo, and I have long heard of your great name, Mr. Fukuzawa."

"Yes." Fukuzawa Yukichi said seriously, "It's our first meeting. Please give me your guidance."

As soon as Fukuzawa Yukichi finished speaking, he noticed from the corner of his eye that Edogawa Ranpo had been staring at the mafia leader named Dazai Osamu. Then, as if he had finally figured something out, his eyes lit up and he wanted to speak.

"This is Ranpo Edogawa, a member of the Armed Detective Agency." Before Ranpo Edogawa could say anything inappropriate, Fukuzawa Yukichi took the initiative to interrupt him.

Edogawa Ranpo, who was about to speak when Fukuzawa Yukichi interrupted him, puffed up his cheeks, but still didn't say much, just nodded twice randomly.

Ranpo Edogawa, who had never taken off his glasses since he entered the room and was in a "super reasoning" state, quickly realized the incongruity of the black-haired boy named Dazai Osamu when he saw him.

Because this world will not collapse if the book is known to others, Dazai Osamu did not deliberately use the book to cover up the traces of the book on his body to avoid Edogawa Ranpo's reasoning.

Moreover, Dazai Osamu had always secretly hoped that the news would spread that the book was on him rather than on Kiyohara Jun, so there was no need to specifically cover up the traces of the book.

Therefore, not long after Edogawa Ranpo entered the house, he determined through several clues on Dazai Osamu that Dazai Osamu must have something that looked like a book with him.

Coupled with the slight sense of disharmony that existed in Dazai Osamu, and the fact that he felt a little bit of being watched when he first met Dazai Osamu.

Edogawa Ranpo quickly came to the conclusion that the book was not "in the body of Kiyohara Jun himself" as Natsume Soseki told Fukuzawa Yukichi, but in the body of Dazai Osamu.

At the moment he came to this conclusion, Edogawa Ranpo, who had successfully solved a big mystery, was so excited that he couldn't help but want to speak out his reasoning. However, after being interrupted by Fukuzawa Yukichi, even Edogawa Ranpo realized that this was not something he should say in front of people from the Tokyo government.

Puffing up his cheeks, Edogawa Ranpo nodded randomly to the people who looked at him, as if introducing himself.

[Did you want to say something when you were walking around like that just now? 】

[Look carefully, Ranpo seems to have been staring at Dazai since he entered the room, and his eyes are not closed, and he hasn't taken off his glasses.]

[I have a bold idea. Could it be that Ranpo knows that the book is on Dazai? ]

[I don't think so? I don't know about the beast next door]

[I think that's because the beast leader Zai deliberately covered it with a book, but our Zai probably wouldn't cover up the traces of the book on his body]

[I also think that Ranpo knew that the book was on Dazai. Didn’t you see that after being interrupted by the president, Ranpo showed a very obvious expression of regret for a moment? I guess he regretted that he almost said a certain reasoning.]

[Luanbu may seem willful, but he is actually quite sensible when it comes to major issues]

【After all, she is a random little angel

[As an aside, I actually always felt that our Zai had a serious tendency to self-destruct, more serious than any other Zai in any other world. He did not cover up the traces of the book on his body in order to let others know that the book was not on Junjun's body, but on his body.]

[I think that since Jun-kun started to encounter danger because of Dazai, Dazai's self-destructive tendencies have become more and more serious. Didn't you notice that Jun-kun comforted Dazai too many times? I think that Jun-kun was keenly aware of Dazai's self-destructive tendencies, and this time with the group and MIMIC, even Chuuya noticed it.]

[I don’t think Dazai is a weak person, but the fact that his best friend, the only miracle in the 8 trillion worlds, was in danger because of him is enough to make a coward like Dazai give up on himself.]

[Personally, I think that our Dazai is the type who doesn't put himself in the forefront. He already has a tendency to self-loathing and self-destruction. With one more layer of debuff, that tendency becomes even more serious. Think about the leader Zai next door. Didn't he commit suicide in the end? I think our Zai and the leader Zai are actually the same.]

[This is not because Dazai is being hypocritical, but because he doesn’t want to implicate his friends.]

[Now that I say that, I’m really worried about Dazai.]

[Actually, you don't have to worry too much. A little spoiler: when Chuuya and Dazai were talking in the monitoring room, Dazai had already realized it. As long as he was strong enough, Jun and the others wouldn't get hurt. Just like the leader next door, Zai was able to protect Oda Saku without any leaks, Dazai could also protect the others without any leaks. Dazai was actually very clear-headed. I think even without Chuuya, he would have realized this quickly after he was depressed for a while.]

[Dazai wuwuwu, mommy’s Dazai! 】

Sitting at the main seat, Kiyohara Jun did not exchange any greetings with Ariyama Musashi and Fukuzawa Yukichi, and started the banquet directly.

Jun Kiyohara, who was drinking water from a teacup, soon noticed a series of bullet screens in front of him.

Dazai...is he going to destroy himself...?

When Jun Kiyohara saw the bullet screen's inference about Dazai, he was slightly stunned. Jun Kiyohara had actually been paying attention to Dazai Osamu, but he did not realize Dazai Osamu's self-destructive tendencies. On the contrary, he was relieved because Dazai Osamu's suicide attempts had decreased significantly some time ago.

As slow as Kiyohara Jun was, he didn't even realize this earlier than Nakahara Chuuya. He just did what he should do to comfort Dazai.

When he saw the bullet screen saying that Dazai had realized this himself, Kiyohara Jun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Ignoring the burning gaze from Ranpo Edogawa, when Jun Kiyohara was observing the barrage, Ranpo Edogawa's gaze became even hotter, and Jun Kiyohara raised the teacup in his hand.

"Let's have tea instead of wine. Let's have a toast to everyone."

Kiyohara Jun's alcohol tolerance is actually okay, but Nakahara Chuuya's alcohol tolerance is really poor. If he wants to drink at the table, Nakahara Chuuya, who is now a subordinate rather than a friend, will definitely have to drink with him.

Chuuya still has to work in the afternoon.

Kiyohara Jun, who had deeply put himself into the identity of a capitalist, thought deeply.

Except for Nakahara Chuuya himself, who, because of his intuition, shuddered and looked at Kiyohara Jun with some suspicion, no one could see the so-called depth in Kiyohara Jun's paralyzed face.

During the banquet, whenever Yama Musashi wanted to bring up the terms offered by Tokyo, he would always be interrupted intentionally or unintentionally by several people from the Port Mafia.

No matter how many sweet words Arisama Musashi prepared, under the attitude of the Port Mafia of "I just won't let you speak", Arisama Musashi could only feel frustrated and unable to say anything.

What's worse, under the deception of Dazai Osamu, who was much more powerful than Kiyohara Jun, Ariyama Musashi almost vomited out his underwear. Through Ariyama Musashi's description of some daily life of himself and his family, Dazai Osamu quickly came to the conclusion that Ariyama Musashi had been corrupt.

In the middle of the banquet, Dazai Osamu took out his cell phone and gave his subordinates a task. Finally, when the banquet was about to end, he received a reply.

So, while Ariyama Musashi was still talking to him enthusiastically, Dazai Osamu suddenly said something.

"You have been corrupting me, haven't you?"
