It rushed into the mouth and nasal cavity, bringing a cold shiver, but soon the only sense left was the burning pain of the liquid rushing into the trachea and the pain of suffocation.

Finally, his vision began to blur and he fell into a coma uncontrollably.

Hmm...it would be nice if I could just die like this.

Dazai thought.

——

Dazai, who woke up from the darkness, knew who was next to him without opening his eyes. What's more, when his eyelashes fluttered and he opened his eyes, he saw the detective with emerald green eyes.

The detective from the Armed Detective Agency had already put on his ordinary pair of black-framed glasses and was looking at him with a frown.

"Are you stupid?"

Seeing that Dazai had woken up, Edogawa Ranpo's first words were to scold him, "Oh, sorry, I accidentally used a question, you are just an idiot!"

Dazai:?

"...Ahem...If I remember correctly, I told you to leave me alone." Dazai quickly adjusted his mood and looked at Edogawa Ranpo expressionlessly, but when he opened his mouth to speak, he couldn't control his coughing.

"Who wants to care about you, an idiot!!" Edogawa Ranpo was so angry, "You still want to attack the president, Ranpo-sama will never forgive you no matter what!"

"That's right." Dazai raised his hands and clapped his hands, his movements seemed to be sincere admiration, but his tone was flat, "You should go see your president now."

He felt as if his head was a little heavy... Was it the aftereffect of drowning?

"Dazai has gone to pick up the president." Edogawa Ranpo calmed down and pushed his glasses, "Let Ranpo-sama take a look at what you want to do!"

Dazai: ...

So, this is why he didn't want to meet Ranpo Edogawa.

If he really wanted to explore the secrets of myself, I wouldn't be able to stop him.

What's more, there is more than one Edogawa Ranpo here.

Dazai raised his eyes silently and looked around.

Kunikida Doppo, Nakajima Atsushi, and Izumi Kyoka.

He guessed that he and Yosano Akiko should have gone to Leibo Street with Dazai Osamu.

It is not known yet where Junichiro Tanizaki is. He may be in the port mafia, or he may have gone with Dazai Osamu.

In the presence of Ranpo Edogawa, no matter what he does, Ranpo Edogawa may be able to see something.

For example, now, when he just looked around——

"You are familiar to everyone." Edogawa Ranpo said firmly, "but you are the leader of the port mafia."

"Why do you look familiar with her?" Edogawa Ranpo stared at him closely, his emerald green eyes flashing with a sharp light, as if they could break through all his disguises and get to the soft inside.

Dazai couldn't help but shudder.

That's why he didn't want to face Edogawa Ranpo face to face.

The first time he joined the Armed Detective Agency, he had no choice. He had just arrived and all the information on him had been wiped out due to the differences in the world.

That's why he joined the Armed Detective Agency without fear.

But at the same time, he came out very quickly.

The main reason was that Edogawa Ranpo's ability was truly extraordinary, and even he didn't know if anyone would notice anything if he stayed there for a long time.

"You are afraid." Edogawa Ranpo looked at him, "You are familiar with Ranpo-sama because you are a good friend of Ranpo-sama."

"But there's no reason for you to be familiar with the rest of the detective agency."

"Even after the virus was fully exposed, you couldn't come into contact with other people in the detective agency."

"And your sense of familiarity doesn't seem to be due to Dazai's memory..."
