Zongman: I have really retired!

"Ah... that store doesn't sell outside, it only takes orders. Xia You seems to have said that he often brings back some desserts from that store, although he doesn't eat much."

Oda Sakunosuke recalled it and said.

"Ah, are they those desserts? No! Some people really eat such sweet things."

Zhongyuan Zhongya muttered in a low voice that Xia Youjie often bought desserts, but would not eat them. He would also buy a bunch of them at once, and in the end they all ate them. In addition, his brother and Lan Bo ate more, and they were picky after they finished. Four, if you can, eat less, but they say it’s not sweet enough!

The most irritating thing is that the desserts Xia Youjie brings have become sweeter and sweeter since then! ! ! It’s so scary! ! In the end, even the two French people with a big sweet tooth couldn't hold it anymore. The guy said he was reluctant. Who is eating that kind of food?

Oda Sakunosuke was silent for a while: "No...it's not all that sweet. It's a dessert with five times the sugar that Xiayou specially ordered. It seems to be an apology gift prepared to give away..."

"Isn't that really an apology gift and not revenge? It will kill people!"

Zhongyuan Zhongya blurted out, and after speaking, he fell silent.

However, although……

He must be a very important person, otherwise he wouldn't let Xia Youjie buy desserts to try every day. He obviously doesn't like eating them, but he still wants to taste each one, probably because he wants to choose the most suitable one. Although It just feels toxic.

"Hey! Is that restaurant delicious?"

Edogawa Ranpo suddenly spoke.

Zhongyuan Zhongya came back to his senses, put his hands in his pockets, thought carefully and said:

"Nothing wrong with it except it's too sweet."

"It's okay, I eat the normal taste from that store, it's not bad." Oda Sakunosuke said.

"Okay!! Let's go then!"

Edogawa Ranpo shouted enthusiastically.

…………

The counter is adjacent to the kitchen, and the alluring aroma of freshly baked pastries floats lightly through the air throughout the room.

A series of exquisite cakes and various delicious snacks are placed on the counter, each one releasing a fascinating sweet aroma.

But the strange and fragrant smell disappeared without a trace after leaving the store.

Edogawa looked around randomly. It's no wonder that he, the world's number one detective, didn't find this store. Rather than saying that this store is a place for trading activities, it is more like someone's little thought. No wonder he only takes orders. , I’m afraid this store wasn’t specially designed by someone to please people.

"Ah, do you want to pick up the snacks Mr. Natsuyou ordered?" The clerk looked at Oda Sanosuke with a stiff face and said.

"Please get some more of this and this, not special ones, just normal ones!"

Edogawa Ranpo suddenly spoke, pointing to the pastries on the counter.

"But...but those..."

The clerk was a little hesitant.

"Anyway, the head chef often gives away things for practice, so what if you give them to me? You don't really sell them."

The squinting boy tilted his head and asked in a questioning tone.

"Ah... okay, I'll pack it for you."

The clerk packed the things quickly with her hands and feet, not caring about the weight of the package.

Ranpo also ordered all the pastries in the store like a roll call, and the clerk also generously packed a large bag.

"Hey! What's going on?"

Nakaya Nakahara started to pack the cakes after seeing the two of them saying a few words, and the confusion in his head was about to explode!

"Ah, it's obvious, isn't it? The chef of this store, or rather this store, must be Mr. Xia You who specially created it to make people happy.

Pastries that are not sold for takeout, a store that is deliberately hidden, and most importantly, the pastries on the counter are probably the chef's handiwork. "

Dazai Osamu scanned the small shop casually. It was probably that Mr. Natsuyou hired a chef from the flower garden to develop special pastries.

I guess the chef seemed reluctant. He couldn't see the person who really wanted to eat the snacks and was being bossed around by another person. No wonder he was so angry that he baked so many cakes and gave them away every day. He was probably venting his anger.

"what?"

Nakahara Chuuya's tone was a little suspicious. He wanted to continue asking, but Osamu Dazai had already turned his head and showed that he was unwilling to pay attention to him.

"Hey, you guy! Can you explain it clearly?"

"Think about it with your shrunken cerebellum. It's like a slug without a brain."

?

Nakahara Chuuya, who was always polite and polite, was completely confused.

A slug without a brain...

"Hey!! What did you say, you brat? I'll kill you!!"

Zhongyuan Zhongya's clenched fists began to creak. He really wanted to teach the guy in front of him a lesson.

"Dazai!!"

Fukuzawa Yukichi spoke, his tone was somewhat stern and contained a warning.

"Chongya, calm down, this is a guest."

Oda Sakunosuke on the side also spoke.

"Huh? No matter what, they are all bad customers!"

Nakahara Chuuya said to Oda Sakunosuke dissatisfied.

"That's not okay. No matter what, we are still guests from Tokyo."

Oda Sakunosuke said very seriously, which made the angry Nakahara Chuuya feel discouraged.

"Oda, can you have a normal temper? Are you really not angry?"

Zhongyuan Zhongya complained.

"Huh? Haven't I ever been angry?"

Oda Sakunosuke asked in a sincere tone.

"You look like a good old guy! Let's complain a little bit!" Nakahara Chuuya raised his forehead.

Oda Sakunosuke was silent for a while: "I will work hard."

Does this kind of thing need to be taught?

Everyone present responded in their hearts.

"Ranbu, this is enough, you can't eat it."

Fukuzawa Yukichi looked at Ranpo over there and picked out two large bags of pastries, frowned and stopped him.

"These snacks are all Ranpo's! It's Ranpo's thank you gift! Being the world's best detective requires a lot of calories! If you want to eat it, you can choose it yourself!"

The narrow-eyed Maomao hid the cake behind her and said in an explosive tone.

"Ranbu! If you eat that much, you will get tooth decay. Be obedient and eat the rest tomorrow."

Fukuzawa Yukichi stretched out his hand to take out the cake behind Edogawa Ranpo.

"No! Uncle, do you know that the rest won't taste good!"

Edogawa Ranpo struggled hard to grab the pastry from Fukuzawa Yukichi's hand.

"Then you can't eat that much in one sitting!"

The tension between the two was extreme. Edogawa Ranpo relied on his clever mind to snatch a pack of snacks, and Fukuzawa Yukichi snatched it back with his dexterous skills. In the end, the less physically fit detective was snatched away with the snacks. It’s over after walking most of the way.

He sat on the ground angrily and stared at Fukuzawa Yukichi, looking more like a cat lying on the ground and rolling around in despair.

Fukuzawa Yukichi looked at the Edogawa cat sitting on the ground, and finally compromised and handed the cake to Edogawa Ranpo: "I can only choose two more pieces!"

"Okay! This game is a big victory for the detective!"

Edogawa Ranpo stood up instantly.
