Tanizaki Junichiro glanced at Fukuzawa Yoshikichi next to him, then looked at Edogawa Ranpo in front of her, and finally stepped forward and confiscated all of the detective's snacks.

Dazai closed his eyes, having no interest in watching Edogawa Ranpo and his snacks perform a farewell drama.

He was silently thinking about his next plan.

The plan started with him and Ranpo Edogawa dying separately, and if a miracle happened, Ranpo Edogawa and he would come to this world one after another.

The reason why Ranpo Edogawa was allowed to come in first is because the acting skills of this criminal consultant are almost zero.

Moreover, there is a certain chance that he will be defeated by Mori Ougai and Nakahara Nakaya, so they both agreed to leave the more complicated work in the later stage to him.

Edogawa Ranpo's mission is to collect information about this world with the "book" given to him by Dazai Osamu.

The reason why the "book" was given to Edogawa Ranpo first was to record intelligence and to create a so-called illusion.

What is more important is that it exists as a "coordinate".

Because they are not sure whether the world the two people land in will be the same.

However, it would have been much easier if Edogawa Ranpo had held the "book" when he entered the world.

It’s not that there is any special connection between him and “books” - and it’s impossible for him to have any special connection with “books”.

"Books" are the cornerstone of the world, and no one can master the so-called cornerstone of the world.

And the reason why he asked Edogawa Ranpo to bring the book...

It was because he made a deal with the "book" before leaving, and he timed it so that the book was taken away before it could receive the payment.

After doing this, he doesn't have to actively look for the "book", but just wait.

——Because "Books" will definitely come to collect rewards.

Since he doesn't need to take the initiative to recycle the "books" in his own world, he only needs to focus on doing something big to make the "books" in this world appear.

The plan has almost been completed here.

He has also taken advantage of the "infected" and the virus he brought with him has spread wildly in Lei Bo Street.

Fortunately, he didn't really want to mess up Yokohama in the other world, so he made a deal with "The Book" in advance and let it seal off Leibo Street.

"Books" are not self-aware living entities. If anything, they are equivalent to artificial intelligence.

Since it is artificial intelligence, it is bound to be no match for humans.

So even though it was in a different world and it had not received its reward yet, it still did its job responsibly and sealed off Leibo Street.

To unseal Leibo Street, all staff must be present.

Of course not all members are really present, but as long as he is there and "Shu" is also there, then Leibo Street can be unblocked.

Because Dazai wouldn't pay him at all.

The reason why "he was present" was changed to "everyone was present" is because he is still being held in the Armed Detective Agency and can't do anything at all.

There is no way to escape alone.

And if something is so big that everyone must come out to fight it, then he may be taken along.

So it is true that everyone needs to be present, in a sense.

Edogawa Ranpo was angry for a while, but after the Armed Detective Agency members consoled him, he managed to be happy again.
