Broken-up ex-boyfriends come back

It was noon when Bakugo Katsuki left.

After all, he is a hero and doesn't have that much time.

This time I came out only for a temporary leave, and I will go back soon.

Yakai Riho sat in the living room for a while.

In fact, the upstairs has not been tidied up yet, but she doesn't want to move for a while.

After sitting on the sofa with his head up and staring at the ceiling for a while, he stood up again, ready to go upstairs to take out all the things in the suitcase and put them away.

I always feel like I forgot something...

Yakai Riho put the last piece of clothing in the closet, and was lost in thought while facing the empty suitcase.

what is it then?

Just then, her cell phone rang suddenly.

"Sorry to interrupt, Miss Mihai."

Opposite is Atsushi Nakajima, a slightly nervous and anxious young voice.

"Well, I want to ask if Mr. Ranpo has gone to see you?"

"Random?"

Mihai Riho froze for a moment.

"No, isn't he in the office? And isn't he an idiot?"

"Is there no phone call for you?"

The voice on the other side sounded like he was about to cry.

"No, what happened?"

Mihai Riho frowned slightly.

"Mr. Ranpo said he wanted to go out to buy some snacks, but I lost him."

There was despair in Atsushi Nakajima's tone.

"It's just time to buy a wagashi, then turn around and disappear."

Yakai Riho walked downstairs and asked, "Is there no phone call?"

"Called, but didn't answer."

Nakajima Atsushi fell into panic thoughts.

"Mr. Ranpo was kidnapped by the enemy, right? After all, he is an important pillar of the detective agency and has no force value. This plan is also because of..."

"Nakajima-kun."

"exist!"

"Calm down."

Yakai Riho came to the entrance and bent down to put on her shoes.

"You report this matter to the detective agency first, it is best to contact Dazai, I will go out to find him now."

"I see, I am very sorry to trouble you!"

Although Atsushi Nakajima said that no one answered the phone, Yakai Riho still closed the door and dialed the number.

After a few seconds, the call was connected.

"Random?"

Yakai Riho spoke first.

The opposite party did not speak immediately, and the surrounding voices were very noisy.

"Random?"

Yakai Riho called again.

Then the other party finally responded.

"Rio."

Yakai Riho didn't accuse, but just asked, "Where are you?"

Edogawa Ranpo did not answer this question.

"Let's play hide and seek."

"hide and seek?"

"The time is before 10 o'clock tonight, and the place is Yokohama. Let Riho come to find me, okay?"

Mihai Riho was silent for a moment.

"So you left on purpose?"

"……Um."

Beside it seemed to be the muffled laughter of children from passers-by.

"I see, but Nakajima-kun was so anxious that he was about to cry because he walked away willfully and didn't answer the phone. Remember to apologize when you go back."

"Well, I'll wait for Riho."

After saying this sentence, the call is over.

Yahai Riho first sent a message to Atsushi Nakajima.

[I got in touch with Ranpo, don't worry, I will get him back. ——Mihai Riho]

Everyone who was anxious as if they had lost a child was relieved when they saw the news.

"So Mr. Ranpo is looking for Miss Mikai?"

Atsushi Nakajima slumped limply on the desk as if he had survived a catastrophe.

Yosano Akiko looked out the window with her chin resting on one hand and said, "Who knows?"

There are no prompts, only time and place restrictions.

Yakai Riho thought about the places Edogawa Ranpo usually likes to go to, and began to plan a route to find them one by one.

At this moment, the sun is shining at noon, and the weather is still a bit hot.

Yakai Riho pulled the pull ring of the tram, looking at the next location on the phone.

Think again about what the other party wants to do?Why did you suddenly say you want to play hide and seek?

She has always believed that Edogawa Ranpo's thoughts are the simplest and easy to understand, and she doesn't need to work hard to figure it out like other people, because this person is like a child before and now, showing all his emotions in front of him On the Internet, express all your likes and dislikes unabashedly.

But now Edogawa Ranpo is like a child who hid in a cabinet in anger, curled up in it alone, waiting for the person he was looking forward to to find him.

The name of the platform was announced on the radio of the tram, passing by one stop after another, but Yakai Riho still couldn't find the other party.

She glanced at the sky, it was already night.

There are neon lights on the side of the street.

Where the hell is it?

Yakai Riho stared at the places he had searched on the phone today, and even had the idea of ​​giving up searching and directly asking where the other party was.

She felt that if she must know the location, she could get the answer too.

But Edogawa Ranpo's abnormal behavior made her not want to do this.

She has traveled to many places today, each of which is a place that Ranpo likes, and it is also a place where she has been with the other party.

She almost went through the memories of when the two were together.

If the other party really wants to hide, according to the IQ of the world's No. 1 detective, I will definitely not be able to find it.

And he also said that he would wait for himself.

That must be what I can think of...

Yakai Riho, who was walking down the street with her mobile phone in her hand, froze for a moment, staring blankly at the Ferris wheel in the distance.

The huge Ferris wheel is lit up with colorful neon lights because of the night, which looks extraordinarily beautiful in the night.

How could this place be forgotten?

It is already nine fifteen in the evening.

When did this Ferris wheel stop riding?

Is it before ten o'clock?

No, I can't remember at all.

Yakai Riho could only rush over at her fastest speed.

The Ferris wheel is naturally more beautiful at night, so most people will choose to come after dark.

When Yakai Riho managed to find Edogawa Ranpo through the crowd, he was sitting alone on a flower bed not far from the ticket sales.

The black-haired young man in a brown felt hat looked up at the huge Ferris wheel, and the neon lights were so bright that it was difficult to distinguish his expression for a while.

"Random steps."

Yakai Riho panted slightly and called out his name.

It was obviously not very loud, but the other party immediately noticed and looked over as if he had been waiting.

Her expression relaxed, and the corners of her lips curved towards the other party.

"Got you."

"……too slow!"

Edogawa Ranpo, who had been waiting all day, got up and rushed towards her impatiently.

"Rio is an idiot! It's such a simple thing, but it's only now that I found it... I've been waiting for a long time, and I thought you wouldn't come."

When it comes to the end, the ending sounds a little imperceptible grievance.

"Sorry." Yakai Riho reached out to help the other party's crooked hat, "but what if I don't find it?"

"It will be sad."

What a simple, unpretentious answer.

She sighed, then looked at the ticket office next to her.

"I go……"

"It's already bought!"

Edogawa Ranpo directly took out the tickets he had bought from the beginning.

"Let's go! Let's go ride the Ferris wheel!"

"Speaking of which, Ranpo, how did you find this place?"

It's so strange that I didn't get lost.

"How could this kind of thing be difficult for a famous detective?"

He clutched her hand while holding the hat in place to keep it from falling.

"Just ask someone for directions."

Yakai Riho felt that he had asked a stupid question, probably because the impression that Edogawa must be accompanied by members of the detective agency as long as he ran out of the house was too deep.

When it was their turn, she noticed that the other party seemed to retreat for a moment, but they went up under the urging of the staff.

"Don't you want to sit all the time?"

Even tickets are bought in advance.

"……Um."

The black-haired young man on the opposite side was not wearing his usual cloak. Perhaps it was because the crowd was too crowded and the temperature was too hot, so he was only wearing a shirt and vest. He looked more mature than usual.

The Ferris wheel was slowly rising, but Edogawa Ranpo didn't seem to have any intention of looking out the window at all, he just looked at her and said again: "I've always wanted to see it with Riho."

Yakai Riho looked a little uncomfortable, she turned the opponent's head aside.

"In this case, let's take a good look at the scenery outside."

This is the largest Ferris wheel in Yokohama, overlooking the entire city from top to bottom.

Countless high-rise lights meandering continuously, dotted the city.

As the Ferris wheel gradually rises, they can see the water park and float performances in the distance, as well as countless amusement projects. The entire amusement park is brightly lit and the crowd is surging.

When he was about to reach the apex, the black-haired young man who was obediently looking outside after his head was turned aside suddenly spoke.

"Riho... is about to reach the highest point."

"I know."

Yakai Riho suddenly realized after finishing speaking.

She withdrew her gaze from the outside, and turned to Edogawa Ranpo who did not look back.

The side face of the other party did not have the usual excited expression when he ate his favorite snacks or played an interesting game. Instead, he was a little nervous, and his hands on both sides were also tightly grasping the seat.

She noticed that the other party seemed to want to take a sneak peek at her, but she immediately retracted the moment she met her gaze, then flattened her mouth, and the whole person was instantly lost.

It's not that Mihai Riho has never heard of the legend of the Ferris wheel——

Lovers who ride the Ferris wheel together end up breaking up.

But when the Ferris wheel reaches its highest point,

If you kiss your lover,

will go on forever.

Yakai Riho did not speak again.

She couldn't say what the other person wanted to hear, and she couldn't do what the other person wanted.

Until they got off the Ferris wheel, neither of them spoke again.

The colored lights flickered at the bottom of those emerald-like eyes, refracting sparkling light, and Mihai Riho thought that the other party was crying for a moment.

But it didn't.

"Random steps."

The surrounding crowd was noisy, as if a world was separated from them.

"Stupid Riho don't talk to me."

She heard the other person seem to sniff.

"But……"

The unfinished words stopped.

The black-haired young man walking beside suddenly turned his head to the other side, and then quickly wiped his face vigorously with his sleeve.

"I told you not to talk to me."

It was like the whimpering of a wounded young animal stuck in its throat.

"Obviously...Obviously I have been working hard to endure."

Yakai Riho stopped, watching the other party squatting down with his back facing him as if angry, and then pulled the brim of his hat, as if he didn't want him to see his appearance.

There were people coming and going, and people looked at them from time to time.

Yakai Riho heard the pedestrians whispering "Is there a quarrel?" and did not explain.

She just stood aside with the other party, planning to wait until the figure who seemed to be waiting for comfort stood up by herself.

But after just a moment, she gave up.

Mihai Riho walked around in front of the black-haired young man, squatted down as well, then took his hand, took out from his pocket the candy specially left for him by the other party yesterday, put it in his palm, and slowly closed it.

"Don't cry."

Edogawa Luanbo clenched the candy in his hand tightly, the shadow of the brim of his hat blocked his eyes, only his lips pursed hard.

He stood up and said, "Master Ranbu is already a reliable adult, so he won't cry out in embarrassment like four years ago."

Yakai Riho looked at the redness of the corners of the other party's eyes under the light, and did not refute, she just said softly: "Well, go back."

Edogawa Ranpo did not refuse, and after silently following Yakai Riho for a while, he suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the Ferris wheel.

Maybe just a few seconds.

He turned his head back again.

Legend has it that every box of the Ferris wheel is filled with happiness,

When we look up at the Ferris wheel,

Just look up to happiness.

He looked up for a long time.

But there is no happiness that belongs to him in those boxes.
