Broken-up ex-boyfriends come back

Edogawa Ranpo is a smart fool.

Yakai Riho thought of this after the other party got lost for an unknown number of times.

Obviously many things can be seen through the truth at a glance, but in some things they are even worse than children.

Even children won't get lost on the same road one after another.

"Why can't I remember after walking this road so many times?"

After finally finding the black-haired boy who had been lost for some time, Yakai Riho's originally tense expression was finally slightly relieved.

"Because the road here not only has many forks, but also various slopes, it's too difficult to remember!"

Edogawa Ranpo, who got lost because the pigeons attracted his attention, said this confidently.

"In this case, follow me well."

Rarely, Yakai Riho became a little angry and impatient.

"And don't run around if you get lost! Do you know how long I've been looking for it!?"

I almost went to the police to report that the population was lost.

"Ah, oh..."

Because seeing her so angry for the first time, Edogawa looked at her in a daze, and his tone became weaker, but he still did not forget to whisper to himself.

"It's not running around. I was also looking for Riho. I searched for a long time, and then walked further without knowing it..."

Mihai Riho pursed her lips and said nothing with a sullen face.

She looked at the black-haired boy whose expression became a little aggrieved and overwhelmed, and tried to calm herself down.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have gotten mad at you."

Then he took out a lollipop from his pocket and handed it to the other party. Since the two got acquainted with each other, he was used to carrying some candy with him.

Edogawa Ranpo took the lollipop hesitantly, watched her expression carefully, and then saw the other party stretching out his hand towards him——

"If you walk hand in hand, you won't get lost."

Said the black-haired girl who had returned to her usual appearance.

"……Oh."

Edogawa Ranpo put his hand on it subconsciously.

While being led forward, he looked at the other side's profile.

After a while, he suddenly said, "Risui, don't be angry, okay?"

"I'm not angry."

Yakai Riho was stunned for a moment, then looked at the black-haired boy who was staring at her pitifully, and turned his face away.

"Keep an eye on the road."

However, the other party didn't listen to her, and turned his head around again.

"Obviously angry."

"I said I'm not angry, it's just..."

Yakai Riho didn't know how to explain it.

"Just mad at myself."

Obviously knowing that the other party's personality is like this, and obviously the other party is not good at things like trams and remembering directions, but he still couldn't help getting angry at the other party without asking the reason.

"That's also angry. I won't run around when I get lost next time. I will stay where I am and wait for Riho to come to me, so don't be angry."

Edogawa Ranpo's appearance is very cute compared to usual.

"I can't find you every time, and what if I'm not here?"

After Yakai Riho finished speaking, she felt that her words were a bit redundant.

The other party is usually taken out by the clerk of the detective agency, and even if he is alone, he can ask for directions. Although it is a bit troublesome, with his IQ, he doesn't have to worry about being abducted at all.

Suddenly, I felt that I was just worrying blindly when I was so anxious before.

The holding hand was suddenly clenched.

"Did Riho feel troublesome and want to leave me?"

Yakai Riho subconsciously turned her head to look, and found that the other party had opened her eyes at some point, and those green eyes were fixedly looking at her.

"Although I find it troublesome, I don't want to leave you behind."

"……Oh."

After looking at her for a while, Ranpo Edogawa breathed a sigh of relief as if confirming it, and the expression on his face became lively again. He narrowed his eyes again and turned around, tearing open the lollipop package in his hand and licking it. up.

"Risui was so fierce just now, I was scared."

"Feel sorry……"

"Ranpo-sama forgives you, but as an apology, let's go buy rough snacks tomorrow!"

"Didn't you just buy it yesterday?"

"It's finished!"

……

When they went back, Fukuzawa Yukichi, who had been waiting for a long time, looked at the two holding hands and fell silent.

Yakai Riho noticed it and subconsciously shook off Edogawa Ranpo's hand. The other party looked at his hand and then at her, as if she was a little dazed because she was too straightforward as if she wanted to separate the relationship.

Fukuzawa Yukichi with a serious face thought about it for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"you……"

"Nothing."

Yakai Riho also corrected her expression.

"I was just worried that Luanbu would get lost if I followed behind, so I led him along."

After hearing this explanation, Fukuzawa Yukichi glanced at the black-haired boy who seemed to be a little unhappy to "click" the lollipop, and didn't say much, just nodded.

Yakai Riho has always thought that Edogawa Ranpo, who is like a child, does not have the thread of love, and even does not understand this kind of emotion at all.

But not.

After getting acquainted with the other party, she also visited the crime scene several times.

But speaking of it, this is the first time I have encountered love killing.

Mr. Police Department, who invited Ranpo Edogawa because he could not solve the case, heaved a sigh of relief after the other party saw the truth at a glance as usual and pointed out the criminal and the criminal method, and then expressed his thanks.

Yakai Riho and Edogawa, who was licking ice cream, walked in disorder on the way back, looking at the tender face that looked like a minor, and then thought about the appearance of the other party yelling to buy rough snacks— —

"Although I knew that Luanbu was very powerful before, I didn't expect you to be so clear about things like feelings..."

If it can be said that the criminal can be pointed out because of clues, then being able to describe the other party's feelings and psychology as if they were in the scene can only show that this person understands these things very well.

"Of course the master detective is omnipotent!"

The dark-haired boy boasted triumphantly, and then took another bite of the ice cream.

"This kind of thing can be seen at a glance."

Yakai Riho honestly expressed her thoughts.

"Probably because Ranpo usually looks like a child too much."

After hearing this sentence, Edogawa Ranpo, who ate so much white ice cream around his mouth, said unhappily, "Master Ranpo is not a child! I am already 22 years old! Of course I understand this kind of thing." Yes, and that's how I feel about Riho."

"Not age, I mean..."

The words stopped abruptly in the middle of the speech, and it took Yakai Riho a while to realize what the other party said, but when he looked again, the black-haired boy's attention had already been attracted by the fried dim sum on the street corner, as if what he just said was just his own illusion.

"Riho, let's go buy fried dim sum! That shop looks very popular, it must be delicious!"

Edogawa Ranpo grabbed her hand, finished the ice cream in his hand in two or three bites, and then pointed forward excitedly——

"Let's go! Fried dim sum here I come!"

Yakai Riho, who was wondering whether to ask the other party what she said before, could only run forward by being led.

So I acted as if I didn't hear it with an evasive mentality and didn't ask any more.

Until a senior senior appeared in front of him frequently.

The frequency of occurrence is really too high.

My daily route is very monotonous, but even so I can always encounter it.

When she met this senior because she even went out shopping with Ranpo, and wanted to have a good talk with him, Edogawa Ranpo, who came back from buying thick snacks, was stunned for a moment when he saw the man next to her, and then became aggressive He ran over quickly, put the snacks in his hand into her arms, and then complained very angrily: "He already has two girlfriends, and there are three ambiguous women outside, he just wants to be with her." You are just playing around!"

The face of the senior on the opposite side froze all of a sudden, and then looked at him with an ugly expression.

"Who is this? Can you ask him not to slander me? I didn't..."

Of course Yakai Riho chose to believe in Edogawa Ranpo who could see the truth at a glance.

"...Let's stop here, your behavior during this time has troubled me."

Looking at the man in front of her, she felt disgusted from the bottom of her heart, she didn't bother to speak anymore, and was about to leave directly.

When the opponent subconsciously wanted to grab him, Edogawa Ranpo next to him directly grabbed his wrist.

"she is mine."

The eyes on that expressionless face opened at some point, and for the first time, displeasure and coldness appeared in the green eyes.

"Don't even try to touch it with a finger."

Perhaps because of a guilty conscience, the other party left directly after breaking free.

"You idiot, you don't even know you've been lied to!"

On the way back, Edogawa Ranpo held her hand tightly while screaming angrily.

"There's no need to be angry with this kind of person, mess around."

She was obviously the one who was cheated, but the other party looked even more angry than her.

Yakai Riho, who was quite angry at first, is now a little helpless, but compared to this, she cares more about what the other party said before.

... the sworn sovereignty of a child?

When she was thinking like this, Edogawa who was next to her was angry and waved another fist vigorously.

"Of course the girl I like will be angry if she is targeted by a man who is more disgusting than a monster with wings like a seagull!"

Yakai Riho, who was thinking about how to coax her, suddenly stopped thinking after hearing this sentence.

She looked at the black-haired boy who stopped and looked at her, and her mind fell into chaos and confusion.

Did something go wrong?

Is the liking in his mouth the kind of liking he thought?

Is it just dependent?

"It's too much! Ranpo-sama is confessing to you! Riho won't want to ignore it again!?"

"So did you hear it? If you didn't hear it, I'll say it again—the world's number one detective Ranpo-sama likes Riho very much! The kind of love that wants to be together forever!"

"Quickly answer! Say yes first, I only accept an answer of 'agree'!"

After talking a lot on his own at a fast speed, the other party suddenly approached his face, and tightened his grip on her hand, and he even felt a little pain.

When she was wondering if she was nervous, the black-haired boy in front of her opened those emerald-like green eyes——

"So, what about Riho's answer?"
