Yakai Riho didn't know what Osamu Dazai said to the boy named Atsushi Nakajima, in short, the other party looked at him with shocked and complicated eyes, mixed with hesitation.

On Saturday, when she went to the Armed Detective Agency to pick up Edogawa Ranpo and go to the amusement park as promised, she saw in the eyes of the white-haired boy, "Who do I support between Mr. Dazai and Mr. Ranpo?" 'The tangle.

Yakai Riho felt that he was thinking too much, and he wasn't going to choose any of them anyway.

The amusement park on the rest day was crowded with people, and the temperature was relatively high today, and not long after entering, Yakai Riho felt that his body was already sweating.

She was planning the route while looking at the map in her hand. The Ferris wheel was planned as the last ride, and it was said that it was more beautiful at night.

"Ranbu, what do you want to play?"

However, there was no one answering, and Yakai Riho looked up with a bad feeling, and found that Edogawa Ranpo, who was eating rough snacks next to her, had disappeared.

Obviously, she had been following closely before, so she also relaxed a little, thinking that the other party had gotten rid of this habit of getting lost if she didn't pay attention in the past four years, but now it seems that she was careless.

Yakai Riho's face froze immediately, and after a moment of panic, he quickly calmed down.

After looking around for a while to make sure that he didn't see the other party, he took out his mobile phone and dialed the number.

The bell was quickly picked up after ringing for a few seconds——

"Ranbu, where are you now?"

The person on the other end of the phone was yelling anxiously.

"Wow, it's going to melt! I can't find my way back by the haunted house, Riho, come here!"

"I'm coming here now, don't run around, you know?"

Yakai Riho glanced at the map again, the haunted house was not far from this location.

So after putting the things in his hand into the bag, he quickly ran in that direction.

When she passed by, she saw that the other party was holding an ice cream in each hand, squatting listlessly in the shade under the tree, looking aggrieved.

"Just tell me what you want, and I'll go with you."

Yakai Riho also squatted down after walking over, but did not criticize.

"I'm sorry." Edogawa shrugged his head randomly, looked at the half-melted ice cream in his hand, and said sullenly, "I just want to buy ice cream for Riho, because you look so hot."

He seemed to want to lift the ice cream in his hand, but the liquid that melted from the top had already flowed down the side of the tube to his hand, so he paused again.

"... Let's go buy it again." After the other party said this in frustration, he added, "Let's go together, I won't run around."

The hat on the black hair was crookedly worn, and the bangs on his forehead were soaked with sweat and stuck to his skin. He seemed to be shaking his head in discomfort, trying to wipe his face but he was in a dilemma because of the ice cream in his hand.

"do not move."

Yakai Riho sighed, took out a wet tissue from the satchel, helped him take off the hat and wiped the sweat off his face, and then put it back on.

Then he took another ice cream and took out a new wet paper towel to help him wipe his hand clean from the sticky cream.

And the other party obediently let her do all this.

After throwing the used tissues into the trash can next to her, she took a bite of the melted strawberry ice cream, and saw Edogawa looking at herself with a frowned frown.

"Don't you want to buy it again? It won't taste good if it melts."

Mihai Riho saw that he hadn't touched the ice cream at all and said, "Then you wait here, I'll buy it for you." Then he didn't forget to tell him, "Don't run around, you know?"

As a result, she was grabbed by the sleeve as soon as she got up, and she looked down at the black-haired man who was still squatting in some surprise.

The hot and dazzling sunlight casts spots of light through the dense branches and leaves, and falls into those green eyes like emerald stones, reflecting a clear and transparent feeling, like a cool lake in the hot summer.

"that is not what I meant."

He said in a low voice.

Then he lowered his head and lowered his eyelids again, and took a bite of the vanilla ice cream in his hand.

Mihai Riho squatted down again in confusion, trying to see the expression on his face and understand the meaning.

"what happened?"

However, the other party did not answer.

"Ranbu is a bit weird today."

Yakai Riho wanted to sigh again.

Because she couldn't be sure what the other person was thinking, she felt a little helpless.

"Sorry, I don't know what you are thinking, maybe it has changed in the past four years, if it was before, you would just say what you want..."

"Fool."

Edogawa Ranpo took a big bite of the ice cream after listening, and then repeated it again.

"Riho is a big idiot!"

"Isn't this obvious!" He stood up abruptly, and said loudly with his hands on his hips, "I'm flattering you!"

Then he lowered his volume and muttered, "Do you think anyone can make a detective run errands to buy ice cream?"

Then, while continuing to eat the half-melted ice cream, he complained: "It's unpalatable."

Yakai Riho swallowed the phrase "I didn't let you run errands" in her mouth, and stretched out her hand to stop Edogawa Ranpo who continued to eat as if he was angry after saying "unpalatable".

"If you don't like it, don't eat it."

While saying this, she quickly finished her strawberry ice cream, and then threw the package into the trash can.

Edogawa Ranpo directly wrinkled into a steamed bun face.

"I said it was unpalatable, so why eat it!"

"Because a master detective went to buy it for me, so I don't think it should be wasted."

The other party's expression was a little stunned, and then suddenly fell silent.

"As a thank you, let me accompany you to buy new ice cream."

She thought of how the other party had restrained himself from looking around and followed her closely today, and also thought that he had hardly made any demands on her, but ran to buy her ice cream after noticing her enthusiasm.

Mihai Riho faintly understood.

For Edogawa Ranpo, he was trying to chase her in his own way.

"If you walk in disorder, as long as it is the same as before."

Yakai Riho walked with the other party on the way to the cold drink shop, and said slowly: "Don't worry, even if you are a bit willful, I won't be angry; even if you get lost, I will find you."

She just wanted to reject that feeling, not the person outright.

Edogawa Ranpo is self-willed and self-willed, always talking to herself and being very childish. She knew this kind of thing from the beginning, but she didn't hate it.

It is precisely because the other party does not care about other people's opinions and social favors that he can pull himself from the suffocating life to his own in a way that belongs to him when he is deeply influenced by the guidance of his surroundings because of his autism. world, and told herself after helping her out of trouble——

"Don't care about the opinions of insignificant people, it's just a bunch of self-righteous fools."

"This is what a master detective said, please remember it well."

The right hand hanging by her side was grabbed, she stopped in astonishment, and looked at the black-haired man beside her.

The other party had already opened his eyes, staring at him for a moment, as if mixed emotions flashed through quickly, then he narrowed his eyes again, and said, "Then make an appointment and don't go back on your word."

Then he said 'ah' again: "I just remembered that Riho used to hold my hand!"

"...that was before."

Yakai Riho tried to pull out her hand, but she couldn't.

She looked anxiously at the tightly held hands.

"And don't you feel hot?"

"……Oh."

Edogawa Ranpo seemed a little aggrieved to let go of his hand, and grabbed her sleeve instead.

Yakai Riho watched him turn his head away, clearly expressing his refusal to let go, twitched the corner of his mouth, and said no more.

She pulls out the map again after buying new ice cream.

"Are you going to a haunted house?"

"No, the ghosts inside are so fake!"

"Would you like to go on a roller coaster?"

"No, what if the hat flies off?"

"Merry-go-round?"

"Master Ranpo is not a child, so he won't play with such childish things!"

……

After being rejected one ride after another, Yakai Riho stopped speechlessly, looking at Ranpo Edogawa who was eating happily.

"What does the mature Ranpo-sama want to play with?"

"Of course it's the Ferris wheel." Edogawa Ranpo said as a matter of course, "Isn't the purpose of coming to the amusement park to ride the Ferris wheel with Riho?"

Yakai Riho was stunned for a moment, not understanding why the other party was so obsessed with the Ferris wheel.

"Are we leaving now?"

"No."

Edogawa Ranpo unexpectedly refused again.

"It's not enough now, I'll go later when Riho can."

Yakai Riho couldn't follow the other party's logic again.

"I can go with you now, too."

"No, no, no."

After resolutely refusing, Edogawa Ranpo pointed to the distance like a child who was suddenly attracted by other things and said: "There seems to be a garden float over there, let's go and have a look!"

Yakai Riho didn't even think about why she couldn't do it anymore, and wandered around aimlessly in the amusement park with the other party.

There is no need for any planning, this person always suddenly says that she wants to go to a certain amusement project like a whim, but she doesn't go up to play, most of them just pull her sleeves and watch.

"Since you're not interested in these things, why do you still have to watch them?"

Yakai Riho looked weakly at the children who were playing with bumper cars in front of them.

"Because I want to be with Riho." Edogawa Ranpo's cheeks bulged because of the lollipop, "Although I can't remember many things, I'm just a little bit happy."

Yakai Riho remembered what the other party said the day before yesterday, and fell silent involuntarily.

Until she sent him back at night, she was still thinking about how to deal with their relationship.

The full moon hung high in the night, and the cold and soft moonlight sprinkled on the ground through the feathery clouds.

The streetlights on both sides were already on, Yakai Riho refused Edogawa Ranpo's suggestion to call Kunikida Doppo to send her back, and walked on the road alone.

Then regretted it not long after.

It's not that she hasn't traveled at night, but she didn't expect to encounter trouble today.

Yakai Riho looked at the gangsters walking towards her, and felt her heart go cold.

When she was thinking about the chances of escaping, a slightly deep and calm voice came from behind.

"There is no shortage of rubbish gathered together anywhere."
