Chapter 33
After solving Lovecroft in Chapter 33 , there is no task for Miyako Eri. As for the war between the combination and the Armed Detective Agency, it will naturally be resolved by the people of the Armed Detective Agency. She and Gojo Satoru After all, I am not a member of an armed detective agency. At this critical moment, accepting the request from the other president to protect two clerks with no force value and handing them over to the supporting members is already the utmost kindness. If it were no one else, Easy to say.
"...Eri-chan, are you going back now?" Gojo Satoru looked at Miyako Eri half-crouched on the ground and threw the charcoal on her hand into the distance without looking at it longer. He just stretched and asked. sentence, it seems that he is not completely enjoying himself.
"That's almost it."
Miyako Eri didn't care that she didn't let her partner have all the fun. She nodded, clapped her hands, and wiped away the last shadow of the branch that had just turned to ashes, and then looked at the couple who were still talking to Lovek. Loft's partner Osamu Dazai said something.
"Hey, thank you for your hard work."
Noticing Miyako Eri's gaze, Dazai Osamu turned his head, smiled and waved to Miyako Eri, "It's really thanks to Eri-chan that this guy's troubles can be solved so quickly. And Mr. Gojo."
His voice was smiling and soft, making people feel itchy.
Miyako Eri rubbed her ears, showing a little discomfort, but she didn't say much, just nodded calmly, and then motioned to Osamu Dazai to pay attention to Atsushi Nakajima, who was talking to Haruno Kiroko and Tanizaki Naomi.
"Pay attention to that child."
Her voice was neither soft nor strong, but it was clearly heard by the young man with curly black hair opposite her.
"The opportunity may come soon."
"Oh?"
After hearing Miyako Eri's words, Dazai Osamu raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Nakajima Atsushi, the smile in his kite-colored eyes deepening.
"That's really... I'm looking forward to it."
The person involved had no idea that there were so many pairs of eyes staring behind him. He just shuddered for no reason and felt that a cold wave came from nowhere and swept across his body. The whole body, from the tailbone to the top of the head, was soaked with waves of coolness.
The little tiger was so nervous that his tail stood up.
Miyako Eri and Dazai Osamu glanced back and forth at Nakajima Atsushi, completely unaware that a tall white-haired young man behind her was much quieter than usual, but the eyes behind her sunglasses were bright red and fixed. He looked steadily at Miyako Eri's back with an indifferent expression.
Perhaps because he had been stared at for a long time, Miyako Eri was not so sensitive to Gojo Satoru's gaze. Dazai Osamu did not miss the other person's gaze, but his eyes wandered back and forth between Gojo Satoru and Miyako Eri, and then again. He nodded thoughtfully and did not get involved in the affairs of these two people.
His intuition told him that he could not intervene in the matter between these two people.
It was enough for him to play with Atsushi in peace and contentment.
The battle between the [Group] and the Armed Detective Agency failed to proceed successfully due to the intervention of Miyako Eri and Gojo Satoru, which also interrupted the plan of the port mafia fisherman to make a profit. If the kid Yumeno Kusaku hadn't been Miyako Eri intervened quickly. It was obvious that he was going to be used by the group to make some exaggerated and terrifying plan. Of course, it didn't succeed, and he successfully solved the kid from being surrounded by the group.
It's just that the child was sleeping hard and hasn't woken up yet, which means that Miyako Eri's eyes have not been able to successfully recover.
"It's okay, I will be responsible for questioning this kid." Osamu Dazai took the initiative to step in and take over the interrogation work. Although the smile on his face was full of threats, the "inquiry" in his tone inevitably raised questions.
"As soon as I find that ugly thing, I will make him disappear immediately."
He said this, lowered his head to look at Miyako Eri, and winked at her, "I will make sure that Eri-chan recovers as soon as possible."
" I'll trouble you, Mr. Dazai."
Miyako Eri blinked her dull rabbit eyes and said obediently behind Dazai Osamu, and then she was turned around by Gojo Satoru with a sullen smile on his shoulder. right direction.
"Hey, Eri-chan, are we just leaving like this?"
Seeing Miyako Eri looking like she was letting go after finishing off Lovecroft, Gojo Satoru put his hands in his pockets and walked leisurely with his long legs. I asked as I followed Miyako Eri.
It sounds a little surprising.
"...Don't worry about it, right?"
Miyako Eri stopped after hearing Gojo Satoru's words, but turned to look at him with some confusion, "Do you think we have anything else to solve?"
"The Armed Detective Agency needs it now. Facing two organizations, Port Mafia and the Combination, at the same time, you don't seem to be worried about them at all."
Gojo Satoru didn't like to interfere in other people's family affairs, but he looked at Miyako Eri's calm expression. I wanted to ask for no reason.
He was actually quite curious as to why Miyako Eri still let Nakajima Atsushi go around after knowing that he might be the focus of the world.
"Why should you worry?"
Miyako Eri's expression became even weirder, her bright red but still dull eyes were staring accurately at Gojo Satoru's eyes, "Atsushi may be my guide in this world, but that's not true. It means that I need to be responsible for his life."
"As I said before, the world has its own consciousness to maintain its operation. Even if Atsushi-kun loses his life in the battle with the group or some port mafia, I will not. It's just that I need to temporarily take over his job and drive out other outsiders before the new core grows."
"You should like Atsushi-kun,"
Gojo Satoru was silent after hearing Miyako Eri's words . After a few seconds, he asked the question with some confusion.
"Teacher Gojo, whether I like Atsushi-kun or not does not mean that I want to interfere in his future."
She is not responsible for Nakajima Atsushi, and Nakajima Atsushi does not need her to be responsible.
"What's more, he didn't ask me for help."
Miyako Eri is a very principled person in a sense. She saves the world, expels outsiders, and makes friends with people in this world, but that does not mean Then she can rely on her status as an outsider to influence the fate of those who enter this world.
Moreover, Atsushi Nakajima did not make a request to her.
She can't.
"It is a terrible thing to interfere with a person's destiny at will."
She knew very well what Gojo Satoru really wanted to ask in this sentence, "Changing a person's destiny will make people become arrogant."
"I always Remember your duty. "
She is not here to make friends, nor is she here to save anyone.
She's just a scavenger, here to save the world.
The fate of mankind has little to do with whether the consciousness of the world can continue to survive. She is not the savior of mankind.
"After the troubles that need to be solved are solved, I will be the biggest trouble."
She said this, poking her cheek with a slender finger, with a bit of self-deprecation in her tone.
"So, in the end, it was the two of us who were kicked out."
After hearing Miyako Eri's words, Gojo Satoru stopped completely. He lowered his head and pushed away his sunglasses. The bright red eyes behind the lenses that were completely different from the past stared at Miyako Eri, "So... back then... In the original world... I was your last mission target, right?"
He looked at Miyako Eri without blinking, and the corners of his mouth raised revealed some unconcealable aura.
"I don't remember."
Miyako Eri looked up at Gojo Satoru for a while, then whispered an answer with a very calm expression.
"But if we extrapolate according to common sense, this possibility cannot be ruled out."
"It is not impossible that Teacher Gojo was expelled from the original world by the world consciousness because he was too powerful."
After hearing Miyako Eri's calm reply, Gojo Satoru suddenly didn't know what kind of reaction he should have. He almost laughed out of anger, "So, I won't even be able to go home in the end, right?"
He said this with a hint of self-deprecation, but when he heard The girl on the other side retorted firmly.
"No."
"I will let the teacher go home."
Miyako Eri looked at Gojo Satoru and repeated it again.
"I won't let anyone who has a family be unable to go back."
She will definitely let Gojo Satoru return to his original world.
After all, he still has a family.
And she doesn't have it anymore.
The two organizations, Port Mafia and the Armed Detective Agency, finally came to an agreement. Although no verbal or paper agreement was signed, both of them unanimously sent out their own backbone forces to fight the "combination" to the death.
After Lovecroft withdrew from the war, the members of the "combination" became a lot more sober as a blessing in disguise, and many even changed their planned tactics, which made Edogawa Ranpo feel bored.
After all, there are many people who have given them answers overtly or covertly.
Obviously, there are many differences among the members of the "group". Even if the entire plan was formulated by their leader and boss, to be honest, traveling to the Far East to find a baseless and illusory legend is obviously not something that everyone can do. I think this thing is very reliable. At least two-thirds of them are purely working as workers. The boss says they will do it. The other third is probably attracted by the boss's personality charm and just plays with the boss. coming.
The existence of one or two people among them who really believed in some "book" was enough to move Fitzgerald.
He himself went to the doctor simply because he was ill, and treated a dead horse as a living horse.
The people at the Armed Detective Agency didn't know what the decision was, but Nakajima Atsushi took action in the final battle.
How much of this is possible is that maybe Miyako Eri and Gojo Satoru will take action.
"That airship is actually pretty good-looking."
Of course Miyako Eri didn't go. She and Gojo Satoru sat at the port, looking up at the final battlefield.
I was asked to come here by Dazai Osamu, and there was no commission fee.
So the two of them came here just to see the scenery.
"Hmm."
Gojo Satoru was holding a steaming crepe in his hand. He couldn't even speak clearly and only responded vaguely.
