Lost Lord Ranbu

The staff dormitory of the Armed Detective Agency is just an ordinary old-fashioned low-rise apartment. Luanbu stood downstairs and looked at it for a while, and asked his peers for confirmation: "Is this place going to be demolished?"

"That's right." When he pointed to the planning map, he decided to buy a house here as a dormitory. I received a large amount of resettlement fees. The president can speak in front of those officials, so he got this land at a low price."

He led the chaotic steps upstairs, took the key and opened one of the doors.

"I'm back--"

Edogawa shouted towards the room in disorder.

Of course, no response was received.

No one would respond to him in an empty room.

Edogawa Ranpo turned around and explained to the cadres: "Although it is a staff dormitory, not everyone lives here."

He happily threw off the shoes on his feet, without the restraint of Fukuzawa Yukichi, he didn't even bother to arrange the shoes at the entrance.

"Does Dun live in the second room on the left upstairs?" Ranbu noticed that the decorations at the door of each room are different, and the traces in front of the door are also different, so he easily judged where is Nakajima Dun's room.

Edogawa Ranpo replied: "He lives with Xiao Jinghua."

"Huh?" The cadre took off his shoes and raised his head in surprise, "The two of them live together?"

Needless to say, Edogawa Ranpo already understood everything. He hummed happily as if he had achieved some phased victory: "Hmph, it looks like this is the victory of our armed detective agency!"

The cadre muttered in dissatisfaction: "Cut, if it wasn't for Sister Hongye..."

If Atsushi Nakajima was here, he might explain in a flustered and shy way that his "cohabitation" with Kyoka is not a cohabitation of men and women in the traditional sense, but simply living together and maintaining a pure partner relationship. What kind of armed detective agency is Victory.

Of course Edogawa Ranpo knows this, but it's fun to tease the innocent white tiger boy.

In the armed detective agency in this world, Edogawa Ranpo prefers the little girl Izumi Kyoka. I can see that Izumi Kyoka insists on following Atsushi Nakajima, so he also supports Izumi Kyoka's actions.

In this way, Atsushi Nakajima's idea that "it is not appropriate for men and women to live together" has become dispensable.He would never refuse other people's requests. After living with Quan Jinghua, he was often teased by other members of the Armed Detective Agency.

The port mafia in another world is different. Atsushi Nakajima and Izumi Kyoka of the guerrillas did not live together, so it can only be said that they have different fates.

Because the cadre Ozaki Koyo felt that it was absolutely unacceptable for lonely men and widows to live in the same room, this elderly female cadre expressed strong opposition to Kyoka's possible early love.In the end, the assassination team of the guerrillas could only be neighbors, living like a pair of fateful mandarin ducks who were coerced by their parents to break up.

At this time, Edogawa Ranpo and the others tacitly promoted this matter to the "competition" between different forces in the two worlds. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the victory of the Armed Detective Agency.

The two kicked off their shoes and walked inside.

The interior of the dormitory is not big, but it is more than enough space for a single bedroom, and the tidy tatami mats exude a reassuring atmosphere.

After the cadre entered the door, he observed the surroundings. Although it was a very homely environment, he still saw that there were not many people living here. It seemed that the self in this world usually spends more time with Fukuzawa Yukichi. Someone else came to help clean it.

Edogawa Ranpo threw away his hat and cape, turned on the TV, and made the quiet room lively.As soon as he turned his head, he saw the cadre lying faceless on the tatami mat, the black windbreaker rolled into a pillow behind his head, and his limbs were spread wide, as if he regarded this place as his own home.

He thought for a while, and also lay down.

The setting sun in the evening projected in from the window lattice, it was red as if it was about to burn.

"Great for sleeping."

"But I haven't had dinner yet."

There was a funny comic show on TV, and after listening to it for a while, the two lying down suddenly turned their heads to look at each other in tacit understanding, and they both saw the speechlessness in each other's eyes.

"Why do I think their voices sound familiar? It's like Dazai and I are performing Manzai."

"Be confident, remove the 'like', it's indeed the same voice, maybe it's a coincidence." The cadre yawned lazily, "Speaking of which, the voice of a man named Emiya Kiritsugu I met before Your Excellency Fukuzawa is very similar, but that man is not likable at all, and His Excellency Fukuzawa is patient."

Edogawa Ranpo: "Of course, the president has a super good temper."

"...Hmm." Just a few days ago, Fukuzawa Yukichi slapped him, and Luanbu couldn't help puffing up his cheeks.

He really couldn't let go of his grudge and praised Fukuzawa Yukichi together with himself in the main world. No matter what, Fukuzawa Yukichi was still not as good as his elder Mori Ogai who had been with him for many years in his mind.

Seeing the hesitation of the cadre, the detective laughed loudly: "You have been taught a lesson by the president!"

"What's the matter, Mr. Mori has never hit me!" The cadre retorted loudly, "And you must have been taught by His Excellency Fukuzawa to laugh at me."

"Humph!"

Edogawa Ranpo didn't explain anything, and showed that triumphant smile again, which annoyed the cadres.

He turned over and sat up: "Let's decide the outcome!"

"Okay! Guessing riddles? Playing chess? Flower cards? No. 1 detective in the world will never lose, even if the opponent is himself, and ah—" The detective stretched out two fingers, showing off triumphantly, "So far Two to zero!"

"That doesn't count just now!" The cadre argued hard.

A detective stuck out his tongue at him: "If you have the ability, let Mori Ogai come and beat me. Since you can't do it, then you lose, don't play tricks."

Although the rules of the game were not explained, as long as the two of them have a mentality of comparison at the same time, there will be "rules" at that moment.The judgment of victory or defeat is in the heart, and there is no need to say too much, the standards of the two are the same.

"Okay..." The cadre responded unhappily. He thought to himself: If it weren't for Mr. Dun Hesen, who is not up to date, he wouldn't lose two games in a row. He can only count on Mr. Mao!

The cadre's heart moved, and the famous detective also knew what his next game project was.

"bring it on."

"Next, I will not lose to you!"

An hour later, when Nakahara knocked on the door with a bento box, he saw two Edogawa Ranpo with the same face sitting in the living room, staring at him at the door.

Zhong Yuanzhong was also stared at by the two pairs of green eyes, and asked inexplicably, "What happened?"

The black-haired young man in a black suit stood up, walked over with a smile, and patted Nakahara Chuya on the shoulder: "Thank you, Mr. Hat, what's for dinner today?"

Calling Nakahara Chuya around like a takeaway boy with a single phone call, probably only "Edogawa Ranpo" can do it.

"It's sushi and sashimi."

The young man in the black suit curled his lips, as if he was not satisfied with the dinner.

This made Zhong Yuanzhong also a little concerned: "Don't you like it?"

"Of course—I like it!" The young man in a camel cloak said happily, and happily took the lunch box in his hand, "Oh, you really deserve to be Mr. Hat. Let me see, let me see! "

Chuya Nakahara is actually not familiar with the pillar of the Armed Detective Agency. Seeing his face exactly the same as that of Mr. Ranpo, and his familiar tone of voice, Chuya Nakahara always feels a little uncomfortable.

He thought there was some sense of incompatibility, but he couldn't say what it was, and could only stare at the two with a confused expression.

The young man in a black suit asked with a smile, "What's the matter, Mr. Hat, do you want to eat together?"

"No, I've already eaten."

"Come in and sit."

It seemed like decent polite words, inviting guests to come in, but in fact, after Luanbu finished speaking, he ran to unpack the takeaway boxes, without any sincerity.Especially after Nakahara Nakaya lowered his head and saw the shoes thrown on the ground at the entrance, this feeling of "sincerity" deepened a bit.

Zhong Yuanzhong was also silent for a moment, and then walked in after tidying up his shoes, while the two people in the room had already started eating.

Nakahara Nakaya looked at the chess pieces and playing cards thrown around the room, and couldn't help but sighed. While Edogawa Ranpo and others were eating, he rolled up his sleeves and cleaned up the room.

"Mr. Hat, let's chat."

"There's no need to tidy it up, it'll be messed up later anyway."

"Forget it, Mr. Hat looks like Kunikida who loves to worry, so let him clean up."

The two of them didn't think there was anything wrong with asking the guests to pack their things, so they greeted casually.

Zhongyuan Zhong also cleaned up and sat down at the low table.

Fortunately, this time Edogawa Ranpo didn't embarrass other people who were watching, and the content of the chat during the meal was something that Nakahara Chu could understand - about the Holy Grail crisis in Yokohama - Nakahara Chu didn't quite understand why I have to talk to him about the battle strategy during the meal, but he may be the only one who doesn't know.

"That is to say, Nakajima and Akutagawa are leading the charge. After they cut the space, do I need to use the ability of filth?" After Nakahara Chuya summed it up, he couldn't help asking, "It's that simple and rude. ?"

"Isn't this very suitable for Mr. Hat?"

"... I see, I will do it." Zhongyuan Zhong also always felt that something was wrong, but Mr. Ranpo should not hide anything in terms of strategy, so he nodded to show that he already understood his mission.

Luanbu in the camel cloak laughed: "Oh, it really helped a lot. Originally, it would not be so simple to change to other people. After all, the polluted Holy Grail will seduce others. The hat gentleman is different, and he will not If it is polluted, just go straight up and smash the Holy Grail."

Another Ranpo dressed in black also said: "Haha, the hat-kun is really good (Su 敵)! If you exist as your own, it is really reassuring... Well, do your best, Dazai will take care of it accepted."

Edogawa Ranpo sang together, they all looked and spoke exactly the same, Nakahara Chu could hardly tell who they were, the parallel world counterparts all looked the same, changing clothes was like——

and many more.

Zhong Yuanzhong finally realized what was wrong.

"Mr. Ranpo..." He looked at the two Edogawa Ranpo again, and asked with some uncertainty, "Did you exchange clothes?"

Unexpectedly, the next second, "Edogawa Ranpo" who was wearing a camel cloak cheered happily, while the expression on the face of "Mr. Ranpo" who was dressed in black collapsed, and he glanced at it unwillingly. peers.

"368 to 367, the port mafia's victory!"

"It's too early for the game to end!"

Zhongyuan Zhongye: "..."

No matter how dull Zhongyuanzhong is, he should discover the truth. These two people are using him as a game prop. Guess if he can recognize who is the real port mafia cadre—ah, I am so tired, if If he didn't see it, Mr. Ranpo might be angry with him again.

"How did Mr. Hat see it?" Edogawa Ranpo asked.

"How should I put it..." Zhong Yuanzhong also took off his hat, and scratched his hair in some distress, "Intuition."

After all, Mr. Ranpo is the companion he can entrust his life to.
