Lost Lord Ranbu

Ranpo went to see Mr. Mori early in the morning.

Mr. Mori didn't inquire about the reason for Ranpo's disappearance. On the contrary, Ranpo kept talking about what he saw and heard in the parallel world. When talking about those writers with the same name, he could even recount them casually with his excellent mind. Come up with a few lines that fit the personality.

Since it was in front of Mr. Mori, Ranpo naturally mentioned "Dancing Girl". This article mentioned Mr. Mori's supernatural human form Alice, although the Alice described in it has nothing to do with supernatural powers.

"So, is Alice in another world just a poor dancer who was deceived by Lin Taro? Because the girl's status is not as good as the right she is about to get, she was casually abandoned by Lin Taro..." The blond girl in dress Yue Yue Angrier as he thought about it, he stomped on Mori Ogai's instep, causing the black-haired man to gasp in pain.

"Rintaro is a scumbag!"

Called a scumbag by his supernatural human form, Mori Ogai showed a pitiful expression, and defended himself in a soft voice: "No, Alice-chan, that's not me, you have to believe me..."

"It's you, Lin Taro in the parallel world is not responsible at all!" Alice jumped and accused loudly, as if the man in front of her had really done something to apologize to her.

The accused party didn't show any impatience, and had a flattering smile, talking in a good voice.

If his subordinates saw this scene, the leader of the port mafia might not be able to keep his prestige, but Ranbo, who has lived with Mori Ogai for more than ten years, has long been accustomed to it. He even reminded Alice: "Mr. Mori is not like this." ?"

For the sake of higher interests and the future, I had to give up some things. It was just the bond with a foreign dancer. Although I felt sorry when I left this relationship and left, and even felt guilty when I recalled it in the future, I was still straightforward when necessary. cut off.

In this regard, Mori Ogai is more decisive than anyone else.

"Scumbag! Bastard! How disgusting!"

"The more you scold him, the more excited you become. Let's save it."

When Ranpo said this, Alice immediately felt a little disgusted, glared at Mori Ogai angrily, and ran out of the office with her skirt in her hands.

After that, the man restrained his silly father's face just now, and returned to his old leader's demeanor of strategizing.He sat behind his desk, with his white-gloved hands crossed in front of his chest, and an unpredictable smile on his lips.

"Ranbu-kun—"

Ranbu is like a bad boy who was called into the office by the head teacher to give a lecture. He raised his hands to cover his ears, and didn't want to listen to Mr. Mori's words at all: "Why don't you ask Dazai? It's all his fault this time, it's not my fault at all." thing."

It is obviously unreasonable for him to go to another world inexplicably without doing anything.

Ranpo can assert that the reason for his disappearance this time must be Dazai.

Even he himself doesn't know how to travel through space, but Dazai has a way to find himself back, isn't it strange?Dazai's ability is to nullify the ability, but it has nothing to do with traveling through the world.

Of course, it is impossible for Dazai to want to harm him, and it is not logical to lose him on purpose and then rush to find him again.

Ranpo integrated the bits and pieces of information he knew, and he was sure that there was a key item in Dazai's body, which could make parallel worlds intertwine, so unstable that even he couldn't control it.The directional teleportation channel can teleport up to two people, and the props must be present when using it, other functions are unknown.

Dazai is a cautious person, why would such an unstable item be used?Was there any circumstance that forced him to make such a choice?

As soon as Ranpo came back, he had a face-to-face meeting with Dazai, and the truth that was not clear at first had been laid out in front of him clearly, and Dazai's actions had already given enough hints.Through his "welcome ceremony", Ranpo has realized what Dazai wants to do, but due to the lack of key information, he does not know who Dazai's partner is for the time being.

So, his answer to Mr. Mori was——

"Don't ask me, I don't know, it's like this."

Mori Ogai denied: "I didn't mean to say this, Dazai-kun has already said that this disappearance was just an accident, and I didn't mean to blame Ranpo-kun."

Ranbu didn't give him any face at all, and said directly: "Mr. Mori obviously wanted to ask about this matter. Don't you believe that this is just an accident, and it also involves hostile forces, and you are even more afraid of what Dazai wants to do internally. After all, you have Isn’t that kind of prop? As I said before, don’t worry about Dazai, he just doesn’t have that kind of thought, how busy being the leader is…”

"Cough." Mori Ogai coughed lightly, did not respond positively, but replied ambiguously, "Of course I trust Ranpo-kun."

But you don't trust Dazai.

Luanbu pouted.

Mori Ogai stopped holding on to this matter, and instead sighed: "Time flies so fast, I think back then, when I first met Ranpo-kun..."

Seeing that the middle-aged man wanted to bring up the past again, Ranbu immediately interrupted him, and raised his voice and said, "Yes! It's time for the congressional election again. Has Mr. Mori changed his mind?"

"..."

Mori Ogai's smile became a little stiff.

In front of Mr. Mori, when Ranpo doesn't want to say anything more about a matter, he will deliberately bring up the topic of elections. It's not that the newly appointed Prime Minister is determined to do something to the port mafia, and he doesn't want to bring up this matter. Only Mr. Mori himself.

This matter has to go back more than ten years ago——

Ranpo is just a 15-year-old teenager who just dropped out of the police academy and can't find a serious job. Mori Ogai is just a general doctor who is unkempt and runs a small clinic without a license.

No one could have imagined that these two people would become big figures in the world in the future. Most people only know that the leader and the cadres have a good relationship, but they don't know that their karma can be traced back so long ago.

The two are not so much adopted, but they have not actually registered with the city hall. They are not considered standard adoptive fathers and sons. To some extent, they are more like mutually beneficial partners.

Mori Ogai provided life convenience for Ranpo, and Ranpo assisted him in his amateur intelligence work, and the two got along fairly harmoniously.

Of course, Luanbu was not as peaceful as imagined.

I am at an age where chickens hate dogs, how can I settle down peacefully.People of the same age should be playing the second-year routine in school, and Luanbu naturally did not escape this special period.

However, he behaved a little more special——

One day, Ranpo suddenly pointed to the TV and said to Mori Ogai: "Mr. Mori should be there."

At that time, Mori Ogai was snoring and eating instant noodles. He raised his head in a daze, revealing a depressed face of a middle-aged man with Zara beard, as if he didn't understand the situation: "What?"

Then, he saw the picture on the TV clearly.

It was the newly appointed Prime Minister reporting to the Emperor. His Majesty the Emperor was sitting on the throne in a dignified manner. Below him were the courtiers in traditional costumes, and the Prime Minister was speaking with a straight face on the screen.

Mori Ogai's first reaction was that Ranpo already knew that he had been engaged in military affairs. After all, he had done a lot of things in the army. It would be hard to judge whether it was good or bad if he was exposed.

No one likes to be seen through, and neither is Mori Ogai.

Seeing that Mori Ogai was silent, he turned around and asked his opinion with a serious expression: "Mr. Mori, don't you want to be the emperor?"

Mori Ogai: "...?"

Emperor?

What emperor?

His Majesty the Emperor who was about to fall asleep sitting on a chair?

He found that the meaning of Ranpo was different from what he thought. In Ranpo's eyes, the Emperor might be similar to Kamen Rider.

"I don't want to, the Emperor wants blood, right?" Mori Ogai replied.

At the same time, he couldn't help thinking contemptuously in his heart that the Emperor is just a puppet on the surface. It is said that he is a descendant of Amaterasu, but in fact he is neither a god nor has real power. He must abide by the royal rules and regulations in every move. , why can't you think about becoming the emperor?

"Is that so? It's so troublesome, you still need blood..." Luanbu scratched his hair, lacking common sense, he didn't know what shocking words he said, as if the national symbol was changed whenever he wanted exist.

After a while, Mori Ogai thought he was going to give up the topic, so Ranpo asked again: "What about the Prime Minister? It seems to be lower than the emperor, but he should be respected, right? Mr. Mori intends to ?"

"...I don't want it."

If he had encountered such a useful assistant as Ranpo a few years earlier, Mori Ogai might still have this idea, but now he already knows that if he wants to make changes, it is not enough to rely on bright and bright politicians above him. How to do it specifically, He also needs to think long term.

Ranbu propped his chin in distress and thought, "But I want Mr. Mori to be respected by others."

"why?"

"The group of people came to see a doctor last time. They didn't give money and beat Mr. Sen severely. It's too much!"

Mori Ogai hesitated to speak.

In addition to his career as a doctor, he also took care of an intelligence dealer.

The time Ranpo said, Mori Ogai didn't dare to do anything considering that the other party had something in his hands. In order to get more information, he didn't use the supernatural ability to fight back when he was tied up.It's just that he didn't expect that the other party was a group of reckless men, so he pushed him on the chair and beat him up regardless of the consequences.

From the perspective of the still immature Ranpo, the scene of Mr. Mori being beaten up is probably the real-life version of the farmer and the snake, a model of good people who are not rewarded well-intelligence belongs to intelligence, and you have to give money when you see a doctor, right?

"If we could stand there, no one would dare to do anything to us?" Ranbu said.

What he said was taken for granted, so straightforward that he would be laughed at if he put it out.In fact, that position did not allow people to do whatever they wanted, on the contrary, it was quite restrained, but Mori Ogai still heard the implication that Ranpo wanted to express.

The doctor stretched out his hand and pushed the slightly longer black hair behind his ears. He still had the same bearded face, but his eyes were different.

"That's right, this is the benefit of power." He stretched out his hand to Luanbu, "Although it is still in the process of planning, with the help of Mr. Ranbu, I will sooner or later..."

"Become the Prime Minister of the Cabinet?" Ranpo interjected.

"...That, Ranpo-kun?"

Ranpo has ignored Mori Ogai's intentions, and continued happily: "Of course I will stand by Mr. Mori's side, but I don't know much about elections. What should the assistant do? Huge photo of Mr. Mori You have to prepare your publicity vehicle and go to Yamashita Park to give a public speech, will current voters like Mr. Mori's type?"

Mori Ogai: "..."

They all said that they are no longer interested in the position of prime minister!
