Lost Lord Ranbu

Just as her husband expected, Edo Chuanju only showed a slightly surprised expression when she saw the chaos.Without taking a second look, she recognized the young man in front of her, and she accepted the fact that her son had grown up suddenly.

Returning to the familiar atmosphere after many years, facing his parents who have long passed away, Luanbu looked very nervous and evasive.

This attitude certainly proves many things.

What Edogawa Shigeo can see, Edogawa Kiku, who is better than her husband in reasoning, can naturally also discover.

She immediately realized the key point.

Don't treat him differently because of his age. If Ranpo has the idea that "I am a different individual from 20 years ago", thinking that his parents don't accept him growing up like this, he will be finished.

This can lead to the always stubborn child going out of his way to vent and flee where no one can find him.

Although Luanbu is confident that no matter where she hides, as a mother, she can find it, but there will always be some twists and turns.

So, after a brief daze, the housewife with her apron on her waist blocked the entrance, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Ranbu, did you not get along well with your new classmates? And you even escaped the entrance ceremony, right?" ?"

Ordinary people should be amazed at why this mother can draw such a judgment from her son 20 years later, why the topic is so jumpy, and why she doesn't ask about the change of her son's age, but the family members are used to it.

Twenty years later, Ranpo has indeed lost the relevant traces, and some things cannot be deduced.But judging from other aspects, such as the personality of the person involved, the performance of the husband, and the time when the father and son went home, even if there is no factual basis, Edo Chuanju, who knows his family well, can easily draw conclusions with his eyes closed.

"Don't be willful, walk around." She wiped the water stains on her hands, turned her back, took off her apron and put it aside.

Luanbu pursed his lips, feeling extremely wronged.

Although he did escape the entrance ceremony and did not intend to get along well with his classmates, but that was already 20 years ago, why would my mother still blame him for being an adult?

Obviously, he was scolded once for this matter before, but now he is going to be taught a lesson again? !

And ah, he can't get along well with other people because they are all stupid!Back then, his parents thought he was ignorant and blinded him with white lies, but now he understands everything.Since you want him to get along well with his classmates and teachers, then tell him, how can he get along well with a group of idiots?

Luanbu, who was aggrieved and somewhat indignant, has not yet realized that his focus has been diverted by his mother's few words of reprimand.He no longer worried about whether his mother would disappoint him in the future, but began to think that he was treated unfairly, and the object of comparison was still the self 20 years ago.

As soon as Edo Chuanju turned around, he saw the unconcealable grievance on his son's face, and couldn't help sighing: "Forget it..."

She didn't say anything more about her son's inability to integrate into the school atmosphere, but after she made up her mind to educate and enlighten the eight-year-old Ranpo, she temporarily let go of the 28-year-old Ranpo on this topic.

"Welcome home." She pulled Luanbu gently but could not refuse, letting him go in, "Dinner is ready, and I have prepared something I like to eat for Luanbu today."

In just a few words, the big stick and sweet dates were arranged.

At the level of playing tricks, Luanbu will never be able to play with his parents.

He was taken into the living room in a daze, and sat down in the seat where he used to sit when he was young. In front of him was the big meal that was originally prepared for the eight-year-old self to celebrate the opening of the elementary school. A plate engraved with the theme of black cats and cherry blossoms.

The Edogawa family did not have the rule of not talking when eating, and not long after the meal, mother began to talk about family affairs.

"Ranbu, aren't you married yet?"

Father coughed, as if he had been choked.

Luanbu, who was 28 years old and was forced to marry: "..."

The mother didn't care how embarrassing the scene was. Like ordinary housewives would do, she asked her son with interest: "Isn't there a marriageable partner in the work unit?"

Ranbu curled his lips unhappily, and replied: "No."

Among the people he came into contact with, there was no one in love, only Higuchi would run after Akutagawa—of course, he never got any response about love, and no one thought they could be together.

Ranpo has no intention of falling in love.

In fact, there are marriageable women who he can get along well with and whose age and status match, such as Koye Ozaki, who was favored by him and Dr. Yosano, who is also a cadre, or who once served as his secretary and was transferred To Black Lizard's Akutagawa Silver and more.

but--

These outstanding women do not look like they will get married.

Yosano has a shadow on Mr. Mori, not to mention Ozaki Momiji who has his own heart but was harmed by the previous leader.As for Akutagawa Yin, Ranpo felt that if the marriage partner was Yin, it would be very troublesome to have another Akutagawa Ryunosuke as an older brother.

After much deliberation, it is still more free to be alone, why should another person intervene in my life?

Ranpo replied: "I don't need a girlfriend."

"Why? Girls are very good at caring for others."

"I have Odasaku."

"Odasaku?"

"It's my life assistant, who has adopted many children and is especially good at taking care of people." Luanbu said proudly.

Mom deliberately said: "What, Luanbu met a lot of people after work, but there is no suitable love partner. Is it because Luanbu is too withdrawn? That's why no one wants to associate with Luanbu."

"No, how could a mother say that about her son?" Luanbu immediately retorted, "I, now I have a lot of good colleagues! And I am the most important cadre of the boss. The juniors of the company respect me very much. Famous people will come to ask for help."

He thought about it, and felt that his resume in the port mafia was not good enough, and added: "Recently, I plan to go out and set up a detective agency independently, and I have already found a good partner. He is a person who can speak well in front of government officials." The one who speaks."

"Really? It seems that Ranpo has become an independent and outstanding man. He can easily pay for the house and car, and the clothes are good, and his appearance is not bad, but..." Edo Chuanju looked up and down 28-year-old son.

Ranpo started to feel nervous again.

He rarely has this kind of emotion, and only frequently feels shy and nervous in front of his parents.

The mother who saw this couldn't help but smile in her heart, but on the surface she still held her cheeks pretending to be worried, and said to her husband: "What should I do if there are no girls who like to walk around? Even if there are no girls, boys That’s fine too, like the Oda Tsukuru I just mentioned..."

In the face of such a topic, Shigeo Edogawa bit the bullet and reluctantly said a word for his son: "Ranpo is still young, we will talk about this kind of thing later."

"Ana! What are you talking about? Ranpo is already this big." Edo Chuanju blocked her husband back with one sentence, "When you were at Ranpo's age, the child was already five years old! "

The male master of the Edogawa family stopped talking.

Luanbu, who was being discussed by his parents, felt that the food was not delicious, and he himself only wanted to be a spoiled child, why did he let other children share the attention others paid to him?

Not even his own child.

"Actually, mom just wanted to ask about my job." Luanbu curled his lips. He didn't feel angry when he was tempted, and pointed out the main points directly as usual, "Then don't make insinuations. If you want to know, I will Tell mom everything."

Ranpo has confirmed his parents' attitude towards him in the half hour just now, and after confirming that he will not be rejected because of his work and growth experience, or even kicked out of the house, he naturally let go of his guard and can return with a more cordial and familiar attitude to the family.

It's hard to believe that Luanpo has struggled with this for so long, and that the status of a mafia cadre who has a great reputation has been disliked. It's not that his parents don't accept his son becoming a mafia, but that Luanpo dislikes his status as one of the five major cadres Not enough to show how great he is.

"...The position of leader is not suitable for me. Dazai is competent, but Mr. Mori is reluctant to go to other places to get a job. I think Mr. Mori is capable of governing the country well. He has also been a senior military officer before. Why doesn't he want to be the prime minister? What about Mr. Mori's words, it's better than that middle-aged fat man sitting in the high position right now?"

After talking about the port mafia for two hours, Ranpo finally ended the topic.

"So, there is no other way. According to the internal system of the organization, I can only sit on an equal footing with the other four cadres—well, of course, Luanbu is the most powerful among the cadres!" He kept emphasizing, "Luanbu He is recognized by everyone as a super powerful cadre!"

The parents smiled face-to-face.

Ranpo is not a person who is good at storytelling. His narration is mixed with a lot of subjective content. He never introduces the role of the stranger's name in the story, nor does he analyze the situation from the cause to the result.It doesn't matter whether the people listening to the story have followed his thinking or not, he just finished talking like this.

Others may be confused, but his parents understand.

Whether it is the size of the Port Mafia organization, the scope of work involved, or the internal structure of the organization, key members, including the relationship between various factions and Ranpo, they are all very clear.

Ranpo's current situation is different from when he was a child.

He has learned to integrate into this world in another way. Although there is still a gap, he has made friends after all, and there are many people who are willing to take care of him.Regardless of whether those people were sincere or out of the psychology of taking advantage of him, they took good care of Luanbu.

The couple looked at each other.

"If you have a chance, you must pay a visit to Mr. Mori Ogai." The housewife smiled, and it seemed that she was not as kind as she seemed on the surface. "Thanks to him for taking care of me."
