"Leave him in the society, and before he wakes up, the detectives can keep him safe."

After Edogawa Ranbu finished speaking, he stretched his waist and called Kunita Dubu's name: "Kunikida, I'll leave the rest to you, Lord Ranbu is tired and doesn't want to care!"

Kunikida Dubu looked solemn: "Okay, Mr. Ranbu."

Ranbu: "Oh yes, remember to prepare dorms for the newcomers."

"Yes. But the dormitory is not enough, and we have to find another way...... Well? Newcomer?!" Kunikida responded halfway before he reacted suddenly, and said in confusion: "Mr. Ranbu, is there going to be a newcomer in the club?"

Tanizaki Naomi guessed: "The person Mr. Ranbu said should be Tsurumi-kun."

Ranbu looked like he took it for granted: "It's such an obvious thing, do you need to say more."

Atsushi Nakajima's eyes were full of admiration, and he stammered, "It's worthy of Mr. Ranbu! I wanted Tsurumi-kun to join the detective agency, but I haven't had time to say the invitation......"

Toru Amuro wanted to ask again, but the detective pointed the back of his head at him, so he had no choice but to follow Kunikida to the other side to deal with the follow-up details.

As for whether Tsurumi stated whether to join the armed investigation, it was also put aside for the time being because the parties were unconscious. Kunikida took the time to call the president, who happened to be on a business trip today, and informed him of what had happened in the company.

After listening to this, the president said lightly: "Did you say it in a hurry...... I know, settle him down, and I'll get this side done as soon as possible. ”

Osamu Dazai and Kunikida are alone, one is hiding and half of the likes to talk, and the other doesn't know anything, Amuro Toru chatted with them for a long time, and basically didn't come up with much useful information.

He had no choice but to give up and decided to wait for Tsurumi to wake up and ask him in person.

big

Tsurumi rarely dreams, but now he dreams about his birth.

Over the long years, the book has emerged from the core of the world into a blank piece of paper.

With the passage of time, some special characters loom on the paper, and these symbols are not any language in this world, but characters that only the world consciousness can understand.

These characters represent the big and small changes in the world, they appear word for word, and then they become transparent and sink into the paper. When you make up enough pages, the next page will appear.

And so on and so forth, to form a thick book.

"Books" carry the world and give birth to the self

Conscious.

Tsurumi was born in the dark, and when he opened his eyes, his gaze swept around in a daze, and as far as he could see, there was nothing in the darkness. Not even a beam the size of a fingernail.

Tsurumi knows who he is, what his mission is, and what his birth means to the world. He knows what he has to bear—he has to bear the good and evil of this world, and he has to endure forever all the creatures in the world

Evil thoughts, keep reason from being washed away.

Tsurumi Shu reached out and reached into the darkness in front of him, and the sticky black mud instantly clinged to his fingers.

The boy shook his hand and shook off the black mud in disgust. But not an inch of his skin was not in the dark, and the dark shadows continued to eat away at his reason.

Tsurumi said that he couldn't help it, so he curled up and lay down, using his deep sleep to resist the evil of the world, and he didn't make a sound the whole time. Within the barrier was the dead silence of the mias.

Tsurumi dreamed that he seemed to be back to the time when he didn't know how to make a light source to dispel the darkness, and he was dumbfounded for a moment, curled up in a familiar position.

It's so dark.

Tsurumi inevitably wondered, why did he bear all this? It's true that he is world conscious, but this identity seems to bring him only endless pain.

Tsurumi felt that there were two villains in his ears who were honking non-stop.

The little angel with a ring on his head said that this was his mission, and that he was born to absorb these irresolvable evil thoughts and restore a beautiful and pure world to all things. Everything rejoices, even if it's just one person, he's happy, isn't he?

The little devil with the trident scolded angrily what bullshit mission, why should he be a scrap recycling station and a garbage can, he should be returned as it is, if he doesn't live happily alone, then the whole world will explode and die together.

After the villains on both sides "fought" to fight, the ontology of Tsurumi's statement detected loopholes in the testimony of both sides. What a person. He's not alone.

Tsurumi's golden eyes were empty, his thoughts were confused, and his brain was crawling as slowly as a turtle.

He thought to himself: he remembers, there is someone who will take care of him gently, care for him, teach him the common sense of the human world, tell him good and bad, right and wrong.

This person should have short blond hair, purple-gray eyes, a dark complexion like a half-breed, three-dimensional features, and well-defined outlines.

He has a good smile, he is calm and reliable, but sometimes he is a little childish.

His ten fingers are slender, his bones are distinct, and there is a layer of calluses on his fingertips and tiger's mouth, but he never tells himself

The reason for the formation of the cocoon, but try to divert the topic as much as possible.

Who is this man? Tsurumi lay in the sticky black mud, thinking with difficulty.

"…… Crane? Did you have a nightmare?"

There seemed to be a soft voice, close enough to sound close to the ear, but far away like a sound coming from the clouds. Something gently brushed his cheeks, neck, arms, and back, and the cold black mud faded away. Tsurumi felt a lot more relaxed, and he fell into a deep sleep again. Before his consciousness sank into darkness again, he finally remembered.

That person's name is [Amuro Toru], and it's his Tou brother, his Zero. It was his closest family member who was not related by blood, his brother.

After all, apart from his brother, Tsurumi Shu can't think of a second relationship that can carry this deep attachment and affection.

★

When Tsurumi woke up, he felt extremely heavy in his limbs and brain, and his hands and feet were soft and sore. It's even more tiring than being chased by Mr. Akutagawa in the port Mafia with Rashomon all night! The young man's crow-like eyelashes trembled slightly, and he slowly opened them, and his golden eyes were still confused with unawakeness.

"…… Where is this?"

As far as the eye can see, there is a white ceiling and curtains hanging around it. I was lying on a bed, covered with a white quilt. The pillows are soft.

Tsurumi couldn't help but roll over and lie on his side, rubbing the soft pillow with his side face.

"Da Da Da ......"

The sound of hurried footsteps approached quickly, and the curtain on the right side was opened suddenly, and the blonde man appeared behind the curtain and said in surprise: "Ah He, ...... you wake up"

Tsurumi maintained the posture of rubbing the pillow and froze motionlessly. - Woo, what should I do if I look stupid and not handsome, and I am seen by Brother Tou?!

The man's face of hidden worry also paused with his steps, and his expression became subtle, as if he was forcing a smile.

"Don't laugh." Tsurumi muttered with little confidence, "The pillow is so soft, what's wrong with me rubbing it?"

"Ahem...... It's okay, Crane, it's your freedom. The corners of Amuro's mouth still couldn't help but rise, trying not to laugh out loud. Forget that scene!" Tsurumi said solemnly: "Brother Tou, you go out and close the curtain and start over."

- You're in good spirits.

Seeing his radiant appearance, Amuro was relieved. He cooperated with the re-enactment, and even the anxious expression was perfectly restored.

/ > he lifted the curtain again and entered: "Ah He, are you awake?"

The black-haired boy was lying on the hospital bed obediently, the quilt was pulled straight to the place of his chin, and his expression was confused and innocent: "Brother Tou, I'm awake, where is this?"

- The acting is also good.

Amuro laughed in his heart, and secretly said that even he was deceived by his acting skills, and once Ah He became serious, it would be really amazing. Amuro helped the man to his feet and took another pillow and put it on the boy's back, so that he could sit comfortably. Tsurumi sat honestly on the bed, holding the water cup that Amuro had handed him, and took a sip.

The blonde man moved a stool and sat down on the edge of Tsurumi's bed. He patiently waited for Tsurumi to finish drinking the water, and carefully asked if there was anything unwell, whether he was hungry, and if he had any other needs, before he officially got to the point.

"…… Azuru," Amuro asked softly, looking at Jizuru calmly, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

When the words came out, Amuro realized that this question was a little out of place. What if Ah He suddenly figured it out and took the opportunity to confess?

Amuro hurriedly remedied: "I mean, is there anything you didn't tell me about it?"

Amuro didn't want their relationship to change in the other direction, and he also thought that he couldn't give Tsurumi a future, so he simply let everything be cut off before it began.

Long pain is better than short pain, Ah He has not yet opened his mind, and he doesn't understand love, so don't let him plant a heel on himself.

When Tsurumi heard a question, he wanted to shake his head, but when he heard the next sentence suddenly, he thought of some secrets that he had been hiding so hard, and he froze suddenly.

"Huh? Don't you want to talk about it? Amuro's tone was gentle and oppressive.

If there were any other people in front of him now, Tsurumi Shu could ask without changing his face and heartbeat, "You can't be talking about me stealing the little cake, right?" I really only ate one, and I'll leave the rest to you. "

But now, the person in front of him is Toru Amuro. If there is anyone in the world who can make Tsurumi disarm and surrender, that person can only be Amuro Toru.

The black-haired boy visibly weakened, lowered his head, and almost burned a hole in the quilt with his gaze. All the sharp teeth are automatically weakened against the Amuro.

Tsurumi Shu was so nervous that he even lost his breath, and his eyes were glancing around, but he didn't look at Amuro. He pretended to be light-hearted and said, "...... Brother Tou, what are you talking about? I don't understand anything. As soon as the words fell, Tsurumi Shu's heart became annoyed again. - That's too suspicious!

fruit

However, Amuro didn't believe it at all.

He said in a deep voice: "Ah He, this is the Armed Detective Agency. I already know what you're hiding, and now I want to hear you tell the truth. ”

Tsurumi's heart suddenly cooled. I never thought that one day I would be stabbed in the back by a detective!

Tsurumi said only promised: "I'm hiding something from you......"

cheated out casually, and Ah He was too easy to deceive. Amuro sighed to himself, but asked quietly, "For example?"

"For example...... "Tsurumi Shu wants to give a chestnut that is not so heavy, but rummaging through the memory bank, it is all some hot stuff that he hides from Amuro!

For example, he was hunted down by the port Mafia and the Paranormal Special Service during the same time; The leader of the Gang Sen and the cadres of the Central Plains alone, and also got a lot of medical expenses.

Another example is that he can see ghosts, and those unscientific supernatural abilities. The most important secret is...... He's not human!!

Think about these

, which one can be said to Brother Tho? For example, it doesn't come out!

Tsuru saw that he wanted to cry without tears.

As he racked his brains to make up words, he suddenly saw Toru Amuro's expression—a slight eyebrow raised, and his gaze was so deep that no one could see the depth. As usual when "interrogating" him, there was no different expression.

Crane saw Shu's eyebrows jumping, he suddenly lifted the quilt and jumped up, crossed his waist and shouted angrily: "Brother Tou, you lied to me, you don't know anything at all!

Amuro Toru:

Tsk, how can this cat be extra sharp when it shouldn't be.

Tsurumi Shu stood barefoot on the bed, a lot higher than the Amura, looked at him condescendingly, and snorted coldly. Amuro has a headache: You come down, don't stand so high. You just fainted in the afternoon, and you're not afraid of falling?

Tsuru was still angry when he was dragged down by Amuro: "What is it to fall, I think Brother Toru is more serious about you deceiving me." Toru Amuro: "Oh, so you're admitting that you're hiding something from me, right? And more than one. ”

Tsurumi snorted silently, leaning against Amuro's arm, slimy like a kitten being petted. Amuro reacted very sharply and pulled his hand out.

Tsuru was stunned for a moment, and looked at him blankly: ...... Brother Tho??

Toru Amuro: ......

Amuro calmly got back to the point: "I ask, you answer."

Tsurumi was reluctant to say that he was threatened by the man and pinched his face, and finally he finally got it

Let's be honest. Toru Amuro asked: "At the traffic light intersection, the person the man in the suit is actually looking for you, right?"

Tsuru was shocked when he saw it, but he didn't expect Brother Tou to really know the truth! He nodded his head: Yes, his name is Ango Sakaguchi, and he almost chased me several times, but I still threw him away.

Toru Amuro: What kind of organization is he, and why did he arrest you?

Tsurumi said, "Mr. Ango is a member of the Extraordinary Secret Service Section. They arrested me because of my special status. ”

What identity?

…… Can't say.

Do you have a grudge against the Secret Service?

Yes!

What feud?...... Can't say. …… Is it because they keep you locked in a dark room?

Seeing the earthquake in his pupils, Tsuru guessed the culprit in an instant, and said angrily: "I knew that Tsuru had seen my memory, but how could he tell you such a thing! Damn it!

Amuro looked at Tsurumi with drooping eyes, and there was a trace of anger in his eyes, as well as a deep hidden pity.

"Even if Atsushi Nakajima doesn't tell me, I'll find out sooner or later." Amuro said in a deep voice, "Don't forget, Azuru, I'm a detective.

Tsurumi muttered: Some black history, there is nothing to talk about.

Amuro wanted to raise his hand and take the distressing cat cub into his arms, but as soon as the fingers hanging down his side moved, he immediately woke up.

He should neither nor can't. In the end, he just touched Tsurumi's head very lightly.

Toru Amuro asks: Is the identity a secret that even I can't say?

Tsurumi Shu uneasily: I'm sorry, Brother Tou, I ......

"No need to apologize." Toru Amuro interrupted the boy, If you don't want to say it, you won't say it.

He understands the feeling that his closest relatives and friends must also be tight-lipped.

Amuro believes that he will know one day, either he finds out by himself, or the matter is over or Atsuru sees it and decides to confess, in short, what he wants to know will be known sooner or later, forever.

"Detective Wu has sent you an invitation. Amuro said, asked

Do you want to join them and become a member of the detective agency? ”

"Huh?" Tsurumi Shu was surprised for a moment, and without hesitation, he asked Toru Amuro's opinion, Brother Toru, what do you think? Amuro no longer intends to make any decisions for Tsurumi.

The kitten will one day learn to hunt alone, and the younger brother will one day learn to live alone without his brother, and Tsurumi needs to get rid of the shadow called Amuro Toru and learn to grow up.

"I'm not going to make decisions for you, you need to think for yourself. If you want to join, you can muster up the courage to go to the detective agency for an interview. I didn't want to join, so I found Mr. Kunikita to sincerely apologize and politely refused.

"I can provide you with some support, such as working with you to analyze the pros and cons of joining, but I will never make a decision for you," Amuro said.

"Ahe, I can't stay by your side all the time, you have your own life, you should be free to choose the path you want to take.

Amuro broke the truth and told Tsurumi to say, and his voice was as soft and gentle as possible, for fear that Tsurumi would not accept it, and he was even more afraid that he would be so sad that he would cry.

But Tsurumi Shu didn't cry, and he didn't incarnate 100,000 on the spot, why did he pester Amuro.

Tsurumi just quietly savored Amuro's words, and at the end, nodded seriously and said, "Brother Toru, you're right. I should make my own decisions about my affairs, and I shouldn't rely on you for everything.

"I ran out of the little dark house to experience a free and wonderful life, and I couldn't limit myself." I want to learn to grow up and be independent.

Amuro was shocked. He himself has been synonymous with rebellion since he was a child, and the people he has met and come into contact with are a group of troubled teenagers.

When they were in the police academy, what was there that the five of them didn't dare to do? Heaven and earth are not afraid, and Matsuda has seriously considered how to punch the police director.

Where has Amuro seen such a well-behaved kitten? He felt like one of his hearts was going to be softened.

Good boy.

Amuro muttered softly, but after all, he couldn't help but take the person into his arms, and hugged the young man's thin back with his palms very restrained.

He said to himself in his heart that it was just a hug between best friends who were also brothers and friends.

It's normal for an older brother to give a well-behaved brother an encouraging hug, and there's nothing wrong with that. …… That's right, it must be like this.

Tsurumi was used to sticking and hugging and being hugged, but now he was a little blushing and heartbeat.

> he himself wondered that he had a heart, but it had never beaten like a normal human.

But Amuro's palm pressed against the back of the boy's heart, pressing him slightly against his chest, and the moment the blonde man looked down at it, Tsurumi Shu vaguely felt his heart beating.

Very subtle and fleeting.

When Tsurumi wanted to feel the heartbeat in his chest, he was already skillfully attached to Amuro's arms. All I could hear was the man's steady and powerful heartbeat.

Maybe it's a delusion. Tsurumi Shu didn't think about it anymore, he turned his face and asked, ...... Is Brother Tou leaving?

Amuro didn't ask him how he guessed, and he didn't hide it, so he nodded neatly and said, "Yes, my colleague who works with me was still urging me to go back to work as soon as possible.

Tsurumi Temptation: If I want to be with you......

Toru Amuro remained silent.

Silence is sometimes an answer, and this unwritten rule, Tsurumi has long been taught by Amuro. But being reused back to the apprentice by the instructor himself, the mood is always very delicate.

Seeing that he was a little aggrieved, he gritted his teeth and said firmly: "Then I want to stay in the Armed Detective Agency!" Amuro let go of the hug that had lasted too long and asked, "Have you decided?"

Well!

"Can I know why you made this decision?" Amuro thought about it and said, It's okay to say if you don't want to, as I said before, you have the right to decide the trajectory of your life.

Be safe though, after all...... It's not peaceful. Amuro said euphemistically.

Do you want to say it? Tsurumi hesitated for a moment: "I want to study in the detective agency and increase my knowledge."

So official? Amuro couldn't help but be surprised.

That's a good idea. Amuro Toru smiled and encouraged, and did not forget to carefully advise, During the interview, if someone asks you this kind of question

Question, you just repeat this sentence to him. Remember, be as sincere and sincere as you are now. "Oh, good." Tsurumi was dazed for a moment, "I'm just thinking about growing up as soon as possible......" The black-haired young man's expression was focused and serious, and his tone was extremely solemn.

"I thought that if I grew up, I would have the ability to stay by Brother Tho's side without any scruples." Tsuru's face was serious: "I want to raise Brother Tho in the future." Amuro is handicap

Choked on myself. Unexpectedly, Ah He still remembered raising him.

He smiled dumbly: Okay, good...... I'm waiting for you to raise me.

Hurry up, I'm very good at making money. Amuro teased.

Tsurumi frowned and nodded solemnly: Okay, I'll do my best!

Airplanes...... Airplanes......

The phone in Amuro's pocket vibrated slightly.

He took out his mobile phone and looked at the screen, quickly pressed the screen, and smiled apologetically at Tsurumi: "I have something to do temporarily, Ah He will sleep here for one night first, and then come to pick you up tomorrow, okay?"

Tsurumi said obediently: "I can go back to the hotel by myself." Amuro hesitated for a moment and agreed.

Before going out, Tsurumi suddenly called out to Amuro Toru. The blonde man looked back and asked, "What's wrong?"

Tsurumi said: Brother Tou, yesterday afternoon, I asked you to hug me...... Toru Amuro: !! Toru Amuro: "It's ......"

Tsuru saw Shu and smiled cutely: Brother Tou just gave me a hug, I'm very happy. Amuro stopped talking: ......

"Brother Tho's embrace is as warm as a brother! Tsurumi said happily, Every time I stick to Brother Tou, I am very excited, and my heart will be pounding! I wouldn't have done it before!

Amuro Hard: ...... Well.

Tsurumi said that his face was full of well-behaved: Is there something wrong?

Amuro Toru: .........

Amuro wiped his face and firmly hammered the matter to death on the definition of a brother. There's nothing wrong with that, Tsuru. We are good brothers.

Well! Seeing the inspiration, Tsuru said loudly: Not only brothers, but also close friends! At this time, Amuro's mood was very complicated.

The author has something to say:

Tsuruzuru: We are good brothers!!

Shiko: ... Well.
