Chapter 77: Go for it

When Edogawa Ranpo said that he didn't envy Dazai Osamu's toys at all, no one in the Armed Detective Agency believed him.

Who made the envy on this childish detective's face almost glow when he said this?

Unfortunately, Dazai Osamu knew it very well. However, he still brought his toys to the office in a frivolous way, and despite Kunikida's complaints, he started to play with building blocks openly... This handsome guy deserves to be the top three on the Yokohama underground bounty blacklist "This Bitch Should Be Killed". The name of the list can be translated as "This Bitch Must Die" - by the way, the high bounty of 30,000 US dollars was funded by one of his good partners.

Edogawa Ranpo, who was sitting next to him, was so envious that his mind was about to return to zero. Although he knew about the existence of the list before, and it was not the first time that he had seen Dazai's ability to stir up trouble and do wrong things, but he... When he saw that the other party had put the Lego bricks wrong for the fourteenth time, he couldn't help it!

"Dazai, that's the Quidditch goal! It can't be inserted on the top of the castle!"

The young man rushed over and tried to play Lego bricks together by pointing out the opportunity.

"Eh? Isn't this a lightning rod?" Dazai Osamu said with a confused look on his face while holding a small round goal pole.

Ranpo squinted at him, as if he saw a bastard passerby who knew nothing was ruining the rare sea view room, so he asked in a heavy voice: "Whose magic castle would use a lightning rod?"

- Yours?

However, Dazai smiled slightly, not angry at all: "Ah, playing with building blocks is about innovation and inspiration. Why do you have to stick to the fixed form, Ranpo?"

As he was talking nonsense, the beautiful building block version of Hogwarts Castle on the lid of the box was still lying there.

"I thought you had long passed the stage of childishness that required the full development of brain functions, Dazai."

"Playing with building blocks doesn't mean anything. In fact, I think even adults can play with building blocks happily and normally, and doesn't this just show that I still have a childlike heart? If you really want to play, Ranpo, you can ask me." Dazai inserted the goal post on the rooftop of a high tower in a serious manner, and then admired his colleague's tangled expression for a long time, and then slowly added, "Ah, of course I may not agree."

"...", Ranpo's eyes narrowed deeper, but he showed a meaningful smile in the next second.

Asking for help? The world's number one detective will never ask for help in his life, especially from someone like Dazai Osamu.

——But that doesn't mean Ranpo has no other cards in his hand.

"I know what you want." He lowered his voice so that only he and Dazai could barely hear it.

Dazai's smile grew wider, and he scratched his hair innocently, saying something confusing as if he was playing a witty trick, "You know?"

Ranpo: "Of course I know."

Dazai: "Great."

Ranpo: "It's a piece of cake for me."
