Lost Lord Ranbu

What are the procedures for setting up a detective agency?

If it is not a big company that is going to be listed, the simplest detective firm only needs two partners to apply for it. It requires a fixed office location and a partnership agreement, and the name of the firm is all that is needed. The rest is to wait for the client to come to the door by himself.

Such a low threshold makes the detective industry a mixed bag, and there may be scam gangs fishing in troubled waters.Moreover, there is no official evaluation system for detectives, and it is difficult to judge the professional level of individuals. There are still many private detectives secretly doing illegal things.

In short, being a detective is not a profession worth showing off in this world. The astute detectives described in mystery novels are already a thing of the past, and American superheroes are popular in society now.

It is undeniable that the credibility of professional heroes is higher, and people are more willing to seek help from hero firms when encountering difficulties, rather than unknown detective firms.

On the day when Ranpo's detective agency was formally established, All Might persuaded, "Edogawa-kun, are you really not considering joining the professional hero agency? If I'm the recommender..."

"No, I want to be a detective, not a hero." Ranpo refused without hesitation, "If you can't get the name of the detective agency out, it's meaningless!"

"The name Portmaffia Detective Agency doesn't look like a serious firm. It's impossible to find business with this kind of signboard!" All Might buried his face in his palms, feeling a little broken inside.

Hearing the name of their detective agency from All Might, even Sakunosuke Oda, one of the co-founders of the firm, couldn't help showing a strange expression. He said with confusion on his face: "So speaking, this The name City Hall has actually passed the review. They seem to think that Ranpo is here for fun. After all, there were young fanatics who registered for Vongola Firm before. That is the Italian Mafia family in the comics, right? Does this registration require copyright?"

"This is..."

All Might didn't expect Oda Sakunosuke's thinking to be so wild and unconstrained, but he himself is very unpretentious, asking strange questions in a serious manner, so it's no wonder that such an "interesting" person can become a partner with Ranpo.

After spending two days together, All Might was completely convinced that Edogawa Ranpo's reasoning ability was not just boasting, and he was indeed qualified to be the No.1 detective in the world.

From the location information of the enemy to the trivial matter of the lost key, there is no problem that Luanbu cannot solve.But he himself is extremely lacking in common sense, has no longing for heroes, does things with no regard for others, and is simply willful and reckless to the extreme.

All Might couldn't help but rejoice, fortunately, he was the first person who came to this world to seek help from Luanbu, and he didn't refuse Luanbu to come home.

If it were an enemy, a treasured talent like Ranpo might be tricked into a certain criminal group and become a think tank there... No, with a companion like Oda Sakunosuke, he should be able to persuade Ranpo, no Let him go astray, right?

"Ranbu, eat all the green peppers."

Look!

This is the relationship mode!

Holding the rice bowl, All Might watched with relief as Oda Sakunosuke taught Ranbu not to be picky eaters, and felt from the bottom of his heart that the other party was a qualified teacher, and he had to learn it himself.

Therefore, Oda Sakunosuke was inexplicably given the title of life mentor. In fact, for him, taking care of Ranpo was only his job responsibility, and he was entrusted by others.You must know that Ranpo's ability to take care of himself in life is not ordinary, and a little carelessness can cause major troubles. In this world where supernatural abilities are common, Oda Sakunosuke has to take good care of his own cadres at all times.

The cadre who has long been the think tank of a certain criminal group and never returned on the "forked road" started watching TV after eating. He seemed to be very interested in the advertising model of this world, while eating potato chips , with a thoughtful look on his face.

All Might took a look and found that it was the recruitment advertisement of Xiongying High School. Thinking that he would soon become Xiongying's teacher, he gave Ranpo a detailed introduction.

He originally thought that Luanbu was interested in how to become a professional hero. It would be even better if he could say that Luanbu went to Xiongying to stay. Who knew that Luanbu did not follow the routine at all, pointing to the advertisement on TV and asked: "Please How much does it cost a professional hero to advertise a detective agency?"

"Ranpo, we have no money." Oda Sakunosuke reminded.

Let Luan Bu continue to speak unrestrainedly, and he would probably say that the detective agency still lacks a few professional heroes to bring him tea and water.

After all, Luanbu was originally served by many people in the port mafia, and even cadres of the same level would be instructed by him to buy snacks.After coming to this world, he still didn't curb his self-willed temper. Even All Might had to be ordered by him, let alone other professional heroes. In Ranbu's eyes, these glorious heroes were just part-timers. That's all.

But this is a different world after all, not the Yokohama they are familiar with. They have no power of their own, and they are surrounded by people with personalities.For the sake of caution, Oda Sakunosuke is not willing to let Ranpo go out to take risks, but the shortage of money is another problem they have to face.

Oda Sakunosuke thought about it: "I can't go on like this, I'd better go out and look for a job I can afford, and pay off the money owed to All Might for the time being."

"No, no, it's not expensive anyway." All Might waved his hands in a good-tempered manner, "You can live here with peace of mind, as if you are here as guests."

"Is being a professional hero very profitable?" Oda Sakunosuke was thoughtful.

"Isn't it obvious?" Luanbu crunched and bit the potato chips.

After the admissions ad for Xiongying High School was over, the shampoo ad for the recently debuted Mountain Lady began to air on TV. The heroine in a mask was wearing a tight-fitting combat uniform, sexy and beautiful.

"The higher the reputation of professional heroes, the more commissions they can get, just like bounty hunters. And as public figures, in addition to their job of saving lives and healing the wounded, they can also accept commercial endorsements, just like idol artists rely on People set up to make money."

As a member of the high tax list, All Might can't deny the chaos.

There are indeed some people who choose to become heroes for the sake of fame and fortune, but no matter what their original intention of becoming heroes is, the final result is to serve the people.If a professional hero really has the title of hero in vain, and he is useless and only speaks big words without taking action, then he will not be able to win the support of the public.

Luanbu finished his potato chips, licked the food crumbs around his mouth, and took another sip of soda before continuing: "A profession is a profession, even if it is given the suffix of hero, there are not many people who can be called heroes." A. After all, the people are just a group of star fans, stupid and easy to deceive."

It is true that the people as a whole are blind and ignorant, and are extremely easily instigated and induced by various factors.

But All Might believes that it is not a bad thing for the public to yearn for heroes, and the general trend of society is still developing in a healthy way.As long as he, the "symbol of peace", does not fall, this society can go on steadily, and there will be new hopes to take his place in the future, supporting this immature heroic society to go on.

What Ranpo said was correct, but he saw it too transparently, and what he said was too mean. After removing the beautified part, what was left was the bare-bones reality.

Those who criticize society in this way are generally enemies, and they are also the most difficult thought criminals.

Logically speaking, All Might should be more vigilant against Ranpo, but after getting along these few days, Ranpo has already told him clearly that Edogawa Ranpo will neither join the enemy's side, nor Not interested in being a hero, he just wants to be the No.1 detective in the world.

Ranpo wants to be a detective, even if he just likes to solve difficult problems, but the end result is to help the police solve the case, which is probably a good thing, right?

All Might thought hesitantly.

"Olmert, are you going to retire soon?" Luanbu said abruptly, telling the truth that can shake the whole society as usual, "Your heir is the kid you saved that day, every morning They all go to the beach, so it’s not for exercising, right?”

"How do you..."

"How do I know?" Luanbu snorted softly, as if feeling underestimated, and opened his mouth in a series of non-stop judgments, "Going out at four o'clock in the morning and coming back after eight o'clock is obviously not a heroic activity, because at that time There are few incidents, you won't waste the time of transforming. Wearing sports clothes, but no water bottle and towel, and not sweating on the body, not going for a morning run. Sand particles stuck to the shoes, and debris of garbage , last time the clothes were scratched..."

All Might's expression became more and more rigid.

Luanbu listed him one by one, and finally came to a firm conclusion: "You are going to supervise the training of the future heir, right! Your personality can be passed on, right?"

This time, All Might really admired him.

There are very few people who know about the fact that his personality oneforall can inherit and accumulate strength.So far, most people think that All Might's personality is physical enhancement, and Ranpo didn't ask anything, just relying on the few days of getting along with him, he was able to tell his ofa's biggest secret.

This made All Might make up his mind that he must win Luanbu to their side.

Such an excellent resourcefulness, I am afraid that even Principal Nezu, who has a "super high IQ" personality at Xiongying High School, cannot match.Ranbu's nature is like a child who has not experienced much in the world, straightforward and simple, even if he can see the truth of things clearly, he is easily deceived by scheming thieves.

I still need to find a pure-hearted child to play with Ranbu... Speaking of this, is it true that the Green Valley boy is the most suitable?

All Might thought of his successor.

"Don't fool me with children, Luanbu adults don't have time to play with children!" Luanbu saw Olmert's thoughts at a glance, and flatly rejected it, "What a detective needs is more and more Interesting, hard-to-solve-cases for everyone else!"

"Okay, okay." All Might reluctantly agreed.

He has already seen the skills of Ranpo, so he naturally wouldn't underestimate the other party. He was just thinking about it. After all, Ranbu's character and appearance are too deceptive, and he doesn't look like an adult at all.

He thought about it for a while, and then told him with uneasiness: "I must not speak out about my finding an heir."

"Another secret?"

"...he is too young and needs to be protected."

Ranpo nodded indifferently.

What I thought was——

Ah, here we go again, individual heroism.

But there is nothing wrong with it, if the heir dies halfway before he grows into a pillar, even Mr. Mori will have a headache.

The young man who had also been protected and grown up thought casually.
