"No need to guess." Edogawa Ranpo said vaguely while holding a lollipop in his mouth, "It's because of another Ranpo-sama."

Edogawa Ranpo looked at Dazai with a look that said, "You won't be able to figure out why even if you look at it for your whole life, forget it, let Ranpo-sama tell you." "Another Ranpo-sama has commissioned the Armed Detective Agency."

"As for the content of the commission, I think you should have guessed it."

Dazai looked at him stiffly.

Indeed, he had guessed it.

In his original plan, he wanted to give everyone a happy ending.

Atsushi Nakajima and Kageka Izumi will join the Armed Detective Agency and gradually learn how to control their own supernatural powers; Ryunosuke Akutagawa will eventually reconcile with Gin, and there will no longer be any obstacles between the two siblings; Ango Sakaguchi will not go undercover in the port mafia, and will not need to choose between his career and friends; Oda Sakunosuke will no longer be involved in human deaths, but will raise a few children, and then slowly write novels to fulfill his dream.

And he achieved the death he had always dreamed of - although jumping from a building of dozens of floors and being smashed into a pile of meat was not his ideal way to die.

But how to say it?

As long as he could die, he could accept any way.

Unfortunately, this plan has never been successful, and Edogawa Ranpo did not support his plan.

I mentioned before that Edogawa Ranpo's motto is "If it suits my taste, everything is fine."

It can also be seen from this motto that no matter which world Mr. Ranpo is from, he is always a proud genius.

Geniuses all have some harmless flaws, such as a lack of empathy.

So Ranpo Edogawa doesn't take the initiative to think about what other people think, he just needs to be happy.

So, he doesn't want to die, and he won't take the initiative to ask for his consent.

But Ranpo will not stop Dazai from completing his plan. He just tells Dazai again and again:

"No matter what you do, Ranpo-sama won't let you die."

And every time he heard this, Dazai would just look up at him from the pile of documents and then give him a faint smile. He didn't say he agreed, but he didn't refuse either.

Sometimes Dazai was also curious why Edogawa Ranpo was so persistent in saving him.

After hearing this question, the mastermind of the port mafia simply lowered his head, took a bite of the Pocky in his hand, and muttered, "Why are there so many? Ranpo-sama didn't want to see you die, so he had to save you."

"And you obviously don't want to die."

Every time the topic reached this point, Dazai would stop talking out of interest.

If he continued asking, he was afraid that he would not be able to die.

So now, he could also guess what commission the think tank had left for the Armed Detective Agency.

Probably something like that, telling them to pay attention to themselves and not let themselves get killed.

but……

“Even so, there’s no need for you to go to this extent, right?” Dazai had already taken off the smile on his face, and that exquisite face gradually became expressionless, and his iris-colored eyes without highlights appeared particularly dim.

At this moment, he was clearly different from Dazai Osamu of the Armed Detective Agency.

“That’s not necessary.”

There was a knock at the door.

Edogawa Ranpo has now sat back on his own throne, crushed the lollipop in his mouth, and took out a bag of potato chips from the drawer.

It was obvious that he didn't say that. The detective with his mouth full of snacks couldn't speak so clearly.

The voice of the person who said this is also very familiar.

——Isn’t this his own voice?
