Lost Lord Ranbu

The well-known cadres of the port mafia, as well as the guerrilla captains directly under the two leaders, the perfect combination of top intelligence and force, are currently in the biggest dilemma so far.

—they have no money.

It's not that they don't have assets, on the contrary, the salaries of cadres and guerrilla captains are first-class, and their daily travel is also crowded.The port mafia has grown to such a large scale that it does not treat members who have contributed to the organization badly.

However, precisely because of this, the three of them did not have the habit of carrying cash.Even if you usually bring some change, you should store those belongings elsewhere before going to the hot spring.

The sudden time travel caught them off guard, and one day they actually had to start thinking about their own food and clothing.

The only good news is that Akutagawa and Atsushi Nakajima put on their regular clothes when they got up to fight in the middle of the night, and they can still keep their clothes neatly.At present, the only thing to consider is how to help Ranpo find the right attire. After all, it is too unseemly for the cadres to wear bathrobes for sleeping and walk on the street swaggeringly, not to mention that Ranbu has no shoes...

Akutagawa was silent for a moment, then turned around and walked out with a flick of his clothes, leaving only a simple sentence: "I'm going to get money."

"Getting money means..." Atsushi Nakajima asked cautiously.

Akutagawa: "Rob the bank."

Atsushi Nakajima: "..."

Robbing a bank is indeed a quick-money business.

How to put it, although it fits the style of the mafia, it is actually different from the public impression. The port mafia is organized and disciplined, and has never robbed a bank.According to their level, it is very easy to grab money, but the key is that they will face being wanted by the police later, and they have no identity in this world, and the way of money laundering is also a problem...

etc--

Atsushi Nakajima suddenly realized that he had followed Akutagawa's thoughts and started to think about how to rob the bank and related aftermath.

No no no!

After all, they haven't been reduced to robbing a bank yet, have they?

Atsushi Nakajima shook his head violently.

Seeing his self-denial demeanor, Akutagawa narrowed his eyes in displeasure, and threatened: "Renhu, what do you mean? Do you want to see Mr. Ranpo starve to death by the roadside?"

"Of course I don't have that idea!" Atsushi Nakajima retorted immediately, and then added in a low voice, "In this world, it's not enough to starve to death by the roadside..."

Akutagawa smiled mockingly.

He was born in a slum, and many people starved to death on the side of the road.

In that kind of place, wild dogs live more comfortably than people, because they will kill and eat people while people are defenseless in their sleep-Akutagawa was bitten by wild dogs on the wrist, so he hates wild dogs very much.

However, living in the environment where the weak prey on the strong, Akutagawa has always believed that "grabbing" is the predatory behavior of the strong against the weak, which is a natural selection and a matter of course.

Atsushi Nakajima, who was born in an orphanage, is more honest and inferior.

He knew that "robbing" was a crime, so he wouldn't open his mouth to rob a bank like Akutagawa.But when I thought that as a member of the port mafia, I had a lot of lives on my hands. It shouldn't matter if I just went to the mall to steal some clothes and pay back the money later, right?

"Well, if it's for Mr. Ranpo, it's considered to be robbing a bank—" The white tiger boy's expression became firm.

"Huh? What for me." Luanbu shook his head, denying their proposal, "If it's a bank robbery, I advise you to give up as soon as possible. Although the police in this world are still very incompetent, we are behind the robbery. The name of the criminal will only make things more troublesome."

He paused for a moment, and then complained angrily: "And robbing a bank just for clothes, what kind of excuse is that? The reputation of a detective will be humiliated!"

"That……"

"There are many ways to make money. Why don't you go to a construction site to move bricks, even if you go to the street to distribute leaflets... Anyway, don't just hang around in front of me." There's nothing wrong with doing chores.

He sat cross-legged in the middle of the quilt, and said to the two people on the left and right: "There are still ten hours before dark. While you are making money, you can also find out about the disappearance of children in Fuyuki City. You can still do this kind of investigation mission." Done?"

"Yes."

"I understand!"

At this time, both Akutagawa and Atsushi Nakajima interpreted Ranpo's words as "to collect information" rather than "to move bricks to make money".

"If both of us went out to investigate, then Mr. Ranpo is here alone, in terms of safety..." Nakajima Atsushi was still not at ease.

"Well, don't worry." Ranbu waved his hands indifferently.

How could you not worry!

Atsushi Nakajima smiled bitterly in his heart.

The opposite of Mr. Ranpo's excellent reasoning ability is his force value. If Mr. Ranpo's reasoning ability can be ranked first in the port mafia, then his physical skills are probably the last.

Usually when walking, he is afraid that Mr. Luanbu will be knocked down by passers-by, how can he be left alone in an unknown world now?

But who knows that Luanbu doesn't understand his worry at all, and still insists on his own opinion: "It's fine if you go, didn't I already tell you, don't just hang around in front of me with nothing to do!"

"But--"

"In this place, there will be no danger during the day, and the opening of the opera will be at night!" Ranbu interrupted him.

"Danger only comes at night..." Akutagawa lowered his eyes, coughed twice, "It's just in time, no matter what it is, Rashomon next will be the master of the night."

Unlike Akutagawa who didn't ask anything, Nakajima just asked, "Mr. Ranpo, why is it night?"

"You really don't know anything..." Luanbu didn't seem to want to explain, and his tone was reluctant, but he quickly changed his mouth, "But forget it, after all, this war was held in secret , you don’t know and it’s normal.”

"war?!"

"Holy Grail War."

He spit out the noun word by word in random steps.

Originally used to save the primate world, magicians downgraded it for the sake of human selfish desires, and the heroic spirit summoning system formed later is today's "Holy Grail War".

Seven heroic spirits are summoned by seven masters, and two people form a group. They will fight for seven days for the ownership of the omnipotent wishing machine "Holy Grail". The group that finally gets the Holy Grail can use the Holy Grail to make a wish. No matter what kind of wish, you can rely on the Holy Grail to realize it immediately.

Every 60 years, the magic power of Fuyuki City's leylines will accumulate enough for the Holy Grail to descend. Currently, it is the beginning of the Fourth Holy Grail War.

"It's too dangerous!" Atsushi Nakajima immediately expressed his objection after listening to Ranpo's explanation of the Holy Grail War, "Isn't this equivalent to seven people with supernatural abilities leading their anthropomorphic supernatural bodies to fight? Adults can do anything for the holy grail that makes all wishes come true! Ahhh, it’s terrible no matter how you think about it, what should I do, what should I do..."

He murmured, pacing back and forth very restlessly.

"Hey, Don-kun, calm down..."

Ranpo's words of reassurance have been completely ignored by Atsushi Nakajima.

He was immersed in his own world, talking to himself for a while, and suddenly remembered that there is the most direct way: "Mr. Ranpo, let's leave Fuyuki City?"

"Although I don't like to get involved in other people's troubles, I'm afraid I can't do it this time." Luanbu replied.

"Why do you say that?" Akutagawa asked.

He didn't want to take care of this matter at first, but when he said these few words, it seemed as if he was being coerced by someone.

Ranpo should be free and free from any constraints. Since he has no desire for the Holy Grail and doesn't want to get involved in other people's troubles, why not just leave Fuyuki City?

"Ah, the reason is very simple."

Luanbu raised his arms, rolled up the loose sleeves of his bathrobe, and let them see what was on his arms—it was a dozen crimson red marks, spread out to both sides like a bird's wings, forming a Simple and mysterious patterns.

At first glance, the ominous red color really looked like bloodstains, extending from the arm to the back of the hand, Atsushi Nakajima couldn't help but gasped: "Mr. Ranpo, are you injured?"

"No, this is the command spell." Luanbu put down his sleeves and covered his arms, leaving only the faintly visible red marks on the back of his hands. "This is a magic crystal floating on the surface of the body. As the name suggests, it can Use this to give orders to the Heroic Spirits."

The command spell is a necessary means of coercion created to prevent the heroic spirit from rebelling against the master, and the right to use it naturally also belongs to the master.

And Ranbu actually has this kind of thing——

"Are you actually chosen by the Holy Grail to become a contestant this time?!" Atsushi Nakajima asked incredulously, "Does Mr. Ranpo have any wish to come true? Ah, if it is clothes, or If you want to eat snacks and soda, Akutagawa and I can go to work!"

Akutagawa gave him a gouged look, and cursed: "Mr. Ranpo, how can you only limit your eyes to clothes and food! Renhu, there must be a limit to being stupid, stop showing your short-sightedness!"

Then, he promised Ranpo: "If Mr. Ranpo has the idea of ​​taking the Holy Grail, I will naturally open a bloody path for you."

"Bleeding or something..." Nakajima Atsushi's expression was very reluctant, "Why did you just tacitly start the war?"

The two of them never agreed.

At this moment, Ranpo said: "I am not a contestant, and the one who chose me is not the Holy Grail."

Atsushi Nakajima was startled when he heard this.

"Oh, it's a bit hard to explain..." Luanpo scratched his hair, "Master Ranpo has no interest in the Holy Grail at all, so no matter how you think about it, he won't be selected, right? Although Lord Ranpo knows that he is the most special!"

"Then why..."

"Idiot! Of course there must be other characters besides the contestants in a game, otherwise how can we guarantee the fairness of the game?"

"so--"

The chaotic steps elongated the tone.

"Master Ranpo has been chosen by the world to be the referee!"
