Late night eatery in Yokohama

-Napolitan pasta (final)-

Oda Sakunosuke, who has the final decision-making power, was unexpectedly hesitant to speak on this trivial matter.

Luanbu, who had peeked at the script, naturally knew the reason why the other party hesitated to speak, but this was not the point that made him most angry.And Cage Island Green... Cage Island Green is also very clear: it is probably impossible for him to reject her.

Yes, forgive her for cheating in this to slightly enhance the effect of her ability "Healing Paradise" on men.

——I said earlier that this is a passive skill that cannot be dispelled. It not only heals the "internal and external" but also increases the closeness value of all life around her to her.

To sum it up: the higher the level of affinity, the less able the affected person, animal or plant will be to "reject" themselves.

This ability sounds awesome at first glance. Refer to Mori Ogai who was knocked down by half a glass of "enhanced" wine before. Unfortunately, as the owner of this ability, Kagoshima Midori has never used her "healing power" Play to [-]%.

On the one hand, when the "value" of "Healing Paradise" is basically maintained at around [-] to [-] on weekdays, it is enough to make her feel distressed... This is specifically reflected when she goes out to buy vegetables with udon in her arms The enthusiastic and amiable strangers in the vegetable market;

On the other hand, ever since she opened her eyes, an indistinct voice always appeared in her heart quietly admonishing herself not to use this perverted power "unless it is absolutely necessary"...

Whether she will become a pervert or not is really uncertain, probably because she has never used her abilities in improper ways such as burning, killing, and looting, so she has no way to criticize.

More importantly, she didn't reject this unknown voice, so over time, she controlled the "value" of her ability to around [-] or so.

Then, Oda Sakunosuke compromised as she expected...

The man first stretched out his hand blankly and waved away the restless youth?Then he looked at the little girl running towards him with low eyebrows on short legs, and let out another helpless...sigh.

"It's ok, I've been...busy recently, maybe I don't have much time to spend with those kids, and if I cook..." He suddenly stopped.

"I can cook!" Cage Island Green looked at him calmly, and continued the second half of the sentence in a very natural tone.

Oda Sakunosuke tried his best to maintain a slightly (actually) emotional expression and said, "How many days do you want to go? It will be very hard. I have adopted five children."

And some of them are very rowdy, the ones who can turn the house upside down. To be honest, they have nothing to do with you.

Oda Sakunosuke did not dare to say this sentence.But to be honest, he also felt that it would be a rare good thing if Cage Island Green could come to his house to take care of the children...

——Although he and Osamu Dazai were still engaged in a fierce encirclement and suppression operation with the enemy in the alley outside their beloved house this afternoon, so that the scene at that time was too hypnotized, with bullets, flashes, lights, bullets from beginning to end Never stopped.

Even Osamu Dazai did not hesitate to use black mud words to stimulate the headshot of the unlucky enemy, which caused the men he brought to burst into passionate "da da da da da".

...but no panic from the owner?And wise?Choose to hide?The behavior of not going out in the store, Oda Sakunosuke can still see the psychological quality of the other party, well, it is the ability to adapt, at least her ability to adapt should exceed ordinary people.

This is also very good, the man is very relieved.Although the little girl is incapable of resisting, it is a good thing to have the brains to protect herself...he thought.

Against you m... Do you listen to what people say?

The clever detective also got such a shocking piece of information through reasoning. Not to mention that he didn't hear that there was a gunfight outside.

This guy is purely here to have fun!

The hearts and minds in the belly are denser than the seaweed in the sea of ​​Kanagawa. Is this guy a devil?I don't know why Ranpo just felt that he hoped that Ryoshima Midori would be aware of this "unprecedented" gunfight... It would be better to witness the scene where the enemy was pierced by countless bullets.

Damn, the more I think about it, the more angry I get.

He bah!Bad one.

Back to the topic.

Ranpo Edogawa, who was rubbing his red wrist, became darker and darker as he listened, and asked how many days?Are you planning to let her live there forever? !Damn, what a shameless one!

"It doesn't matter, I can do all five!" Cage Island Green continued to answer him as a matter of course, "Well, in a few days...otherwise I will go for two days."

Oda Sakunosuke nodded, "...that's fine, then I'll pick you up at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

I can not!Ahhh, he was almost pissed off by the conversation between these two!Really, he is obviously not the same type of person as Mr. Hat, but he just let him surpass him!No!Cool!Say it!

However, no one can understand the displeasure of Ranpo.

Seeing that Sakunosuke Oda had agreed to Midori Kageshima, his eyes rolled with joy, "I'm going to cook!" This time it's true!she added inwardly, and hopped into the kitchen.

The Forgotten Edogawa Ranpo: "...????"

Wait, you come back to me!

The young Mr. Detective chased after him without saying a word.After entering the kitchen, facing the suspicious eyes cast by Cage Island Green, he whispered sullenly: "I don't like pasta. Even if you make it, I don't want to like it anymore."

I don't even want to eat it!And as long as it is red, he will say no from now on!

Cage Island Green originally thought that the other party was still playing with a small temper, but was stunned when he heard the last sentence.What he said was not that he didn't like it, but that he didn't want to like it...often adding a word of meaning would make a world of difference.So, what does Mr. Ranpo mean?

She really is a fool!Noticing the other party's still bewildered eyes, he thought in disbelief.

There was a sudden burst of wet warmth from the palm of his hand, and the wandering thoughts were immediately pulled back.Cage Island Green was startled reflexively, and subconsciously looked along the source of the heat, only to find that the young man grasped...the left hand she wanted to move away without hesitation?

Different from his cute and arrogant appearance during the day when he mocked Mr. Nakaya's card luck while stuffing his mouth with a thick snack that he didn't know where, now Edogawa Ranpo no longer shows that to her. A familiar face, the radiance unique to him when he called himself a detective...

"Don't go...Really, I won't lie to you!" At this moment, he was like a deflated balloon, and his words unknowingly brought an almost humble concession.

"My reasoning never goes wrong..." While speaking, the young man's sharp-edged side face was completely immersed in the bright and soft light, and most of the outline was instantly blurred, and the dots of starlight in his green eyes also disappeared Covered by the pair of glasses on the bridge of the nose.

"If you don't like me anymore because of what I just did to you, I won't force you..."

With four eyes facing each other, Cageshima Green's fingers trembled, the words that wanted to refuse came to his mouth and subconsciously swallowed them back.

She can't understand Mr. Ranpo's submissive attitude when talking to her now, obviously he didn't do anything wrong, right?Well... except for the dumbass!This is another story.

"...No, Mr. Ranpo didn't lie to me, and besides...it was indeed my own initiative to ask for a visit." After finishing speaking, she stammered and added: "Besides, I didn't say no I like Mr. Ranpo..."

The word "like" was bitten so lightly by her that she almost couldn't hear it.

"..." Ranbu was silent for a moment, and then suddenly he pressed Cage Island Green, who was out of the situation, under his body, and said in a serious tone: "Then let me tell you..."

Then, he really said it all.It's still very low-pitched.

So Mr. Oda Sakunosuke and Mr. Dazai are actually mafia?That legendary underground gang organization in the city of Yokohama, who overshadows the sky with one hand, commits all kinds of crimes, and provokes wars everywhere? ?And Mr. Dazai is still at the cadre level? ? ? ?

Not only did the two of them play a murderous scene with the enemy outside her house today, I am a murderer with no emotion, but they also want to lure her out to watch it together?Because Ango-san disappeared inexplicably, so will Oda Sakunosuke leave tomorrow to find someone?

Oh, it turns out that Mr. Anwu is an undercover agent sent by the Supernatural Secret Service to Hong Kong?Wait, what is the special agent department?

After listening to the boss's spoiler, Cage Island Green was full of question marks.

... Hey, is it so exciting? ? ? ?Don't wait!She's going to slow down...!

"I deduce that it will take him a whole day to find the man with glasses from the Supernatural Secret Service tomorrow. When he comes back the next day, those children have been kidnapped. There will be a van with the kidnapped children outside. No accidents." There will be an explosion..." It is likely that the time will be stuck after he returns, or right in front of his eyes... Tsk, those people are really...

Having said that, Luanbu glanced at the man outside the kitchen, his heart sank.

"...!" Cage Island Green suddenly raised his eyes, "...What did you just say...?" Hearing this, the young man tilted his head uncomfortably, muttering, "That's why I said I will let you tomorrow Don't go..."

"why are you not going?"

Cage Island Green asked suddenly, with a faint gloom covering her brows and eyes, although her face was slightly pale and looked very weak, her eyes were still extremely firm, "I will not break the promise... ’ she said slowly.

And maybe her supernatural powers can... give it a try.

"Hey, are you kidding me, do you know..." Knowing that the whole thing was a trap from beginning to end.Meeting the little girl's slightly condemning expression, he walked wildly and fell silent for a moment. He swallowed the last words decisively, always feeling that it might be a bit bad to continue talking.he thinks.

"...Do you know the leader of Hong Kong gangsters? He planned... part of this incident. There are many factors involved that you can't control at all." The young man said ruthlessly.

...Well, the leader of Hong Kong black?Okay, she remembered the new character.

Cage Island Midori felt that Mr. Ranpo's words still had something to say, but she couldn't bother so much now, and secretly adjusted the value of "Healing Paradise", she said softly to Ranpo:

"Mr. Ranpo, let's go out first, and help me take care of Udon by the way, please."

...This is the second time she has actively used a power today.

Seeing the other party walk out of the kitchen obediently, the warm sun in Cage Island's green eyes gradually dissipated, she turned around and quietly combed her hair and put on her apron, silently took out the cutting board and began to chop tomatoes vigorously.

...Yokohama Mafia, huh?

Vaguely, Cageshima Green felt that he seemed to have missed some important information.

Well, let's not think about it and cook the meal first.She lowered her eyes.

Neapolitan-style pasta is not actually a local delicacy in the traditional sense.To quote an old Neapolitan saying: "The pasta falls into the cheese."

Most of the "noodles" in the improved Neapolitan pasta are replaced by udon noodles with a softer, smoother and more tender taste.

Noodle sauce is divided into four categories: red sauce, green sauce, white sauce and black sauce. Red sauce is mainly made of tomato, so it is also called "tomato sauce".

Rich and sweet tomato sauce is currently the most used and most popular, representing the essence of food culture.

The sauce in Neapolitan pasta is also very simple.You only need to blanch the bright red tomatoes in boiling water, peel them, cut them into small pieces like broken jade, stir fry them evenly with a spatula, cover the pot and simmer on low heat until It melts completely.

The whole process can not let go of any details, just to make the tomato sauce full of sugar and maintain the rich essence.The diced pork and diced mushrooms can be put or not according to personal preference, and then continue to add an appropriate amount of black pepper, fennel, etc. to enhance the taste, so that the prepared tomato sauce will be sweet but not greasy , sour heart.

"Long wait, this is pasta Neapolitan tonight."

After placing two plates of well-prepared Neapolitan pasta in front of the two diners, Ryoshima Green turned around and took out a bottle of whiskey that was still steaming from the freezer and poured them each a glass.

"Well, it's not bad." Edogawa Ranpo, who was already hungry, smelled the strong tomato smell and couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks.

Cage Island Green is still a little cautious up to now, not daring to stare at him for too long, for fear of being seen by the other party.

"I'm starting." As usual, Oda Sakunosuke put his hands together and made a reverent salute.He and Mr. Fukuzawa can eat any food with a sense of ritual, which is also very powerful.Cage Island Green thought.

The udon noodles in the porcelain plate are white and red, which is enough to see that the little proprietress is extremely soft, tender and smooth. After enjoying the smudge of tomato sauce, the noodles are clear and light, no matter in terms of taste or tenacity. The degree is just right to declare the understanding of the words "strength" and "smoothness".

The springiness of udon is combined with the crispness of onion slices. After the entrance, there is not only the comfort of cutting through the hot summer fire, but also the kind of rich and rich flavor that is mixed together between noodles and sauce. A sour burst.

The most amazing thing is that the noodles with chili sauce don’t feel awkward at all, the aftertaste is rolling in, and there is a slight numbness between the lips and teeth, and the taste is bursting. "Crispy hot mode!

The man raised the wooden chopsticks and picked up the bright red and shiny noodles moistened by tomato sauce and stuffed them into his mouth hungrily. The sweet and sour flavors all occupy his taste buds and tongue!

The speed of his eating was more violent than before, and Cage Island Green just stood beside him quietly watching the other party sucking on the noodles.

Maybe it was to vent the depressed mood during the day or maybe it was really thirsty, Oda Sakunosuke drank two glasses of ice whiskey, "Ding jingling——" The moment the glass was put down, the ice cubes and the glass with amber liquid remained The walls collided with each other, making a crisp sound.

Cage Island Green shook her head, but did not accept the money for the second glass of wine handed over by the man, "No need." She showed a faint smile: "...for you, sir."

A delicious supper was quickly settled by them, and the satisfaction of the two diners also reached [-]%, but it was the first time that Cage Island Green did not feel joy because of the satisfaction, but from the heart. .. exhausted physically and mentally.

"Very sweet." Before leaving, Oda Sakunosuke smiled at the little girl.

"...?" Is the ketchup too sweet?Cage Island Green lowered his head in thought.

No, people are very sweet.A man who understands the doubts in the other person's eyes sees through but doesn't speak out.

Some "sugars" are like drugs for people like them.How sweet it is when you are in the "Late Night Canteen", how lonely it is when you return to reality...

After sending Sakunosuke Oda away, Midori Kageshima took the contact card that Mr. Fukuzawa handed her before, and helped the slightly drunk Mr. Ranpo to the Armed Detective Agency with difficulty.

Two minutes later, the little girl was told by the president, "It's already early morning, he is very worried about the girl going back alone", and accompanied her all the way back to the "Late Night Canteen".

Then, after petting the cat for a while, he went back silently.

Hey woo woo, Mr. Fukuzawa is so kind!Cage Island Green, who was wearing the other party's loose coat, couldn't help sniffing the red nose with tears in his eyes.Woohoo, this coat is really warm...Huh?coat...?etc!

Sanhuamao: "...Meow?"

...resulting in a sleepless night.

Cage Island Green: "...Hmm." I hate it.

The next morning.

Pushing open the shop door that kept ringing "Dong Dong Dong", the little girl with dark circles under her eyes collided head-on with the person outside the door.As usual, a black-haired, curly-haired young man with a black long coat that does not change throughout the year, a black suit, and a bandage on his forehead and right eye is greeting her with a smile——

"Yo, good morning, Green Sauce." He waved his hand casually, his voice was extremely soft and greasy, which reminded people of the sweet Wangzai milk candy.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo low

Cage Island Green: "..." After taking off the fan filter, I really want to punch him twice!

After checking the identity of Mr. Ranpo, the prophet last night, the little girl at that time was no longer polite and respectful when facing Osamu Dazai.

It can be said that her current mood is more complicated... and annoyed than ever before.

Especially this inspirational rich second generation who always has a beautifying filter in her eyes... No, it should be a bad mafia cadre who is full of mouths and runs the train. He once told her that he was poor at first. I can't even afford porridge, those jobs are boring, the boss is perverted, and the subordinates are boring, and the food in the cafeteria is so bad that Mr. Nakaya has never grown tall...

Wow, she really believed in this guy's sugar-coated cannonball back then!

Thinking of this, Cage Island Green slammed the door hard in front of the two of them for the first time.

Cage Island Green: Hug you big-headed ghost, go eat farts! [Super Fierce.jpg]

Not only did he not get the girl's soft hug, but instead he took a mouthful of ashes, Dazai Osamu slowly hit six points.

...? ? ? ?

Oda Sakunosuke behind him said that he was also at a loss, the little girl was fine last night.

The author has something to say: Congratulations to the Curry trio for their happy fall.

It's with a heavy heart when I write this chapter...
