However, in such a situation, even if it were me, I could only place my hopes on the illusory "book", right?

Edogawa Ranpo raised his hand to block the light.

Dazai Osamu stood aside with his head lowered, his black hair hiding his gloomy expression.

Did the other "Dazai Osamu" also use "books"? Did he go to great lengths to plan everything just to achieve the goal of "Oda Sakunosuke" writing a novel in this world?

Ah, it still makes me very... jealous.

The one who is alive is Odasaku.

"Mr. Ranpo, what do you think Edogawa Ranpo would wish for?" Dazai Osamu suddenly raised his eyes, and his iris-colored eyes returned to their usual look.

"Ah, probably one of the two wishes, 'Resurrection of my parents' or 'Resurrection of the president'." Edogawa Ranpo opened another bag of potato chips, picked up a piece and put it between his lips and teeth, but without chewing, he put his fingertips on the end of the potato chip and put it into his mouth.

"Huh?" Dazai tilted his head, his fluffy black hair touching his cheeks, which actually made him look a little cute. "I think Edogawa Ranpo's wish must be to "resurrect his parents."

Edogawa Ranpo swallowed his potato chips, propped himself up from his chair and sat up straight. He tilted his head and looked at Dazai Osamu, "Why? Even Ranpo-sama can't see it."

"After all, Mr. Ranpo doesn't understand human nature." Dazai Osamu smiled innocently.

Even if I lived twice, the loneliest time would probably be when I lost my parents.

The immature diamond lost its protective shell, and its tender interior was completely exposed to the air. That period must have been the most helpless and lonely.

No one could understand what he said, and everyone looked at him with strange eyes. After being adopted by "Mori Ouwai" and becoming famous, people would flatter and praise him again and again.

"Mr. Ranpo is a genius that only appears once in a century."

"Ranpo-san's talent is the best in the world."

"Mr. Ranbu is amazing."

Everyone says so.

——But Ranpo Edogawa, who has always been deceived by his parents' good intentions, will not accept these flattering words. He is still very immature, and he cannot accept that everyone contradicts what his parents say.

...So what would he do in this situation?

Everyone flatters him and praises him, so what will he do?

Dazai concluded.

He'll want to get to the bottom of it.

But the object of choice cannot be "Mori Ooga" or anyone else in the world.

He only had one possible choice - his own parents.
