"You must have seen them yourself."

Every time he spoke, Dazai's body couldn't help but tremble. By the time Edogawa Ranpo made his final conclusion, Dazai already wanted to turn around and run away.

It's not because Edogawa Ranpo brought up his past, but because...

If he continues talking, he will get to that place.

——The place he didn't want to think about or recall.

"The reason you're scared... isn't because you met Ranpo-sama, is it?" Edogawa Ranpo stared at him intently, reasoning out of his mouth one sentence after another, and finally he said, "It's because you're afraid of Ranpo-sama's feelings for you."

"Or maybe you're afraid of how the Armed Detectives will feel about you."

"You're a coward." Edogawa Ranpo concluded, and then quickly said, "Atsushi, Kagamika, the coward is about to run away, hold him down!"

Dazai:?

Dazai, who was ready to run away, was forced to stop. Looking at Nakajima Atsushi and Izumi Kyoka who were ready to make a move, he forced a smile and said, "Don't do that, Mr. Ranpo. Why would I run away?"

"Hmph...it was you who took the initiative to come here, but now you're so scared that you want to run away. That's too despicable!" Edogawa Ranpo turned his head away and sneered angrily.

Dazai could only force a hollow smile on his face now. He didn't even have the energy to add anything else to that smile.

Edogawa Ranpo was indeed not wrong, he entered the water today knowing that Nakajima Atsushi would definitely pass by there, so he took the initiative to come to the Armed Detective Agency with the help of Nakajima Atsushi.

But his purpose was not to be exposed by Ranpo Edogawa.

Obviously, based on his understanding of Edogawa Ranpo, Edogawa Ranpo should not care about him after the last incident.

But recently, he received news from Ranpo Edogawa again.

This incident made him panic because he didn't know what went wrong.

After several days of investigation, he determined that the problem was with Fukuzawa Noriyoshi.

—— Fukuzawa Yoshikichi did not give up on him.

So he thought, if that was the case, then he might as well anger Edogawa Ranpo again.

If necessary, he can also do something to make Edogawa Ranpo hate him forever.

For example, throwing Fukuzawa Yoshikichi into danger.

but.

Things did not turn out as he imagined.

Dazai really couldn't understand. Edogawa Ranpo was not a person who meddles in other people's affairs, and Fukuzawa Yokichi was obviously not a person who was too caring.

Then it really makes no sense for these two people to try to persuade him after he behaved so wildly.

This is more than just the level of C, it is simply the level of a completely different person.

You have to know that what he showed was not just a threat to a certain person, he was working with Fyodor and planning to get the book.

Then his danger is such that he can threaten the entire Yokohama.

In this case, if there is no problem, then the actions of Ranpo Edogawa and Noriyoshi Fukuzawa are simply mentally ill.

But it's clear that they are both fine.

In this situation, even Dazai couldn't figure out what the problem was.

Edogawa Ranpo had seen enough of his thoughts, so he stood up, dusted off his clothes, took out a lollipop and put it in his mouth, then answered his question in a vague voice.

“…”
