Late night eatery in Yokohama

-Night Miso Butter Ramen ([-])-

...I don't know if it's her illusion, the feeling she felt after not seeing Mr. Dazai for two days seems to be a little different?But I can't say exactly what is different about Cage Island Green.

"Um...how?"

The young man who seemed to have been crying ignored Edogawa Ranpo's almost provocative words, his drunken gaze was contained in his heart like honey infused with koji wine, in a daze, the other party had already stood up He patted her on the head at a distance not too far away.

"Did Green Sauce think about it?" After patting her head was not enough, Osamu Dazai pinched her face and pulled it out gently, "Huh?"

He did it on purpose!Just when I was about to say something, a strong and warm smell of blood wafted from the tip of my nose, Cage Island Green trembled, and suddenly remembered that there was a furry leader in her arms, Miao Zai, then stretched out her hand and hurriedly pushed it away. Hug, "Are you hurt?"

She subconsciously asked, and the words she originally wanted to refuse were swallowed back into her stomach.The leader, Miao Zai, was as quiet as a chicken in her arms.

Kageshima Midori suffocated, "Mr. Dazai...are you injured?"

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to respond, she asked again.

"...No, it's not my blood...it's someone else's." Dazai who was pushed away paused, and said slowly: "You don't want to know whose... .” It seemed to be talking to himself, and it seemed to be speaking to himself.

"Other people's?" Cage Island Green thought for a while, then said vigilantly, "What did you do again?"

"...What is Youla! QAQ"

Osamu Dazai showed a look of grievance.

He couldn't stand the chaos on the side, and he glared at Osamu Dazai, as if expressing his distaste for such a sticky expression on a gangster, curled his lips, folded his arms and said, "You might as well ask this The guy puts a good cadre on the grounds not to come here to shamelessly beg minors to take care of him!"

...shameless...begging for support...

Mr. Luan, Luanbu said so sharply!Cage Island Green felt a little embarrassed.

Unexpectedly, Osamu Dazai didn't hide anything: "Because that perverted former boss has cheated me hard, just a few days ago...so as you can see, now I have completely broken up with Hong Kong Hei yo."

After listening, Kagoshima Midori was silent for a moment, and after a while, she asked, "Is your boss Mr. Mori Ogai?"

"Ah."

"Mr. Mori Ogai is the head of the port mafia?"

"...Um."

"Mr. Oda's death has something to do with him?"

"...Huh?" Osamu Dazai's expression changed, he smiled slightly, "Why do you say that?"

"Well, I just subconsciously feel that if Mr. Dazai's character hadn't happened something that touched your bottom line, I'm afraid... you wouldn't have left the port mafia so soon." She analyzed seriously.

Seeing the other party's dazed face, she lowered her eyes: "As long as Mr. Dazai doesn't dislike the dilapidated late-night cafeteria, you will always be welcome at the gate here."

"Besides, I don't mind taking you in for the rest of my life."

Anyway, her goal is to upgrade the late-night cafeteria to the No. [-] cafeteria in Yokohama. Although it seems that she is still far away from achieving her goal, she can hire a helper first! _(:з」∠)_

Edogawa Ranpo: "?!"

The leader Meowzai: "..."

Osamu Dazai... Osamu Dazai's eyes widened in disbelief.

After the three of them and one cat entered the house, it was not too early to mess around, so Luanbu asked what was on the menu tonight. Cage Island Green thought about it, and said it was butter ramen.

When it comes to ramen, we all know that the soul of a bowl of Japanese ramen must be its soup base.

Compared with the soup that is boiled casually in the same pot, the soup that uses fresh [-]kg pork bone or chicken bone that has been boiled for more than four hours will be more rich and attractive, and some restaurants will choose to boil the soup base For a full twelve hours, the color of the boiled soup is completely incomparable to ordinary tonkotsu soup.

Because I told the two of them in advance that the serving time tonight might be delayed for a long time, Cage Island Green began to cook the soup with peace of mind.

After confirming that the little girl entered the kitchen, Osamu Dazai slowly looked at the squint-eyed young man who had been making troubles from the beginning. What about the strange possessiveness, Mr. Detective, who needs someone to accompany him home?"

Edogawa Ranpo: "...????"

He seemed to want to take a deep breath and scold someone, but on the premise that he knew that the other party said that on purpose, no matter what he did, he felt like a loser.

"Thank you for being a detective." In the end, Ranbu gave him an annoyed look.It seems that there is no way to do anything with him except to stare at him.To be honest, the guy in front of me is even more difficult than the guy who turned into a cat!

Originally planned to pester Cage Island Green to ask why the leader, Meowzai, entered the "Cat's Ears Alley" group to chat about dreams, but the moment he saw Osamu Dazai appeared, he knew that the plan was probably doomed. Ranbu immediately became unhappy, and whenever he was unhappy, he wanted to sprinkle salt on people's wounds:

"With your identity, you defected to the port mafia and didn't think about the consequences?" The implication is, as a defector from Hong Kong gangsters, what do you mean by running to the late night cafeteria?

Osamu Dazai's expression remained unchanged, "Indeed, but do you think the port mafia will move the "Late Night Cafeteria"? "

...that would not, he was sure.

"So——what on earth are you here for?" This was Edogawa Ranpo who still persisted in questioning Osamu Dazai after sitting down.

"...Well, seeing how down and out you are now, don't you still want to clean up your dark files?" The conversation changed, and his tone became gloating, "The 'brilliant record' is at least It takes three or four years to wash."

Thinking of the "Double Black" group, the most ferocious underworld ever, was about to disband, Ranpo thought of another person in the group, that Mr. Hat.

Well, I don't know what that guy will think when he comes back...?

"Mr. Edogawa likes to reason, why don't you just reason." This is the former Hong Kong gangster cadre who deliberately sat next to Mr. Detective and joked with him.

"Do you think that this detective reasoned casually when he saw people?!"

This time, Luanbu was so angry that he even opened his eyes. His eyes were deep, and there was no light in his blue eyes: "Don't think I don't know that the Hong Kong gangster spy who sneaked in pretending to be a doctor yesterday was sent by you." Come here!"

"Ah, why is it coming again? So Ranpo-san can easily solve the problem with his own reasoning." Osamu Dazai continued to smile.

in the kitchen.

After "extracting" the frozen ingredients stored in the APP, Ryoshima Green put down the phone, and was about to pick up the strainer when he heard a soft sound behind him.She raised her head and saw the leader, Miao Zai, who had jumped into the dishwasher at some point, was staring at her... mobile phone on the table.

Hmmm... so why are her two "cats" jumping on the dishwasher? ? ? ?

"..." Cage Island Green spent two seconds calmly thinking about whether her APP was exposed, and the conclusion was of course "Yes".So, just as she was about to have a showdown, the next second she saw the leader, Miao Zai, jump off the dishwasher and slip out of the kitchen with light, small steps.

Kageshima Midori: "...?" She swears she just saw the sneer in the eyes of 20-year-old Dazai-san (cat)!

...so what was he doing here?

The little girl was puzzled.

At this time, the voice of another slaughter also came from under the curtain, with a little teasing:

"Little Green Sauce~Mr. Ranpo said that he really wanted to watch cat and mouse cartoons, and asked when you will install a TV in the store?" The other party's words were mixed with the sound of someone's frantic jumping feet, All in all very... confusing.

Cage Island Green: "..."

...Kageshima Midori decided to put on earplugs and cook seriously.

After a long wait, just as the twelve o'clock bell was about to strike——

"Awaited--!"

Carrying a wooden plate, Ryoshima Midori poked her head out from under the noren curtain. Because it took a lot of time to cook the soup, the meal tonight took an extraordinarily long time.It's a pity that I couldn't cook Cage Island Green for twelve hours. If it doesn't work this time, it will be better next time.

"Night Miso Butter Ramen is here."

Two pieces of golden soft-boiled eggs and pickled young bamboo shoots are sandwiched on top of chives and bean sprouts in the center of the bowl, and a small piece of butter is placed.When the butter is completely melted, the milky white tonkotsu soup will gradually and naturally turn light yellow... This is the butter ramen.

The inside of the chef's hat was completely soaked with sweat, and she carefully took off the hat to ensure that the food in the bowl was not stained with dirt, and then placed the homemade cheese and tableware beside the dishes.

"Wake up, gentlemen."

She stretched out her fingers and poked the two steamed bun-faced writers who were slumped on the bar counter, who were probably starving, and then gently placed a bottle of red wine in front of the two of them:

"This is tonight's miso butter ramen, served with cheese and red wine, please take it easy... Well, today's meal is counted as my treat." She said, holding her chin.

Hearing this, No. [-] Bun-faced Edogawa quickly straightened his back, with a shocked expression on his face: "You want to treat him to free food?!" No. [-] Bun-faced Dazai Osamu was revived with blood, holding his face and exaggeratingly "screaming" and said : "Ah~ Little Green Sauce, you are so kind."

Cage Island Green: "..."

Cage Island Green was silent for a while, then bent down to pick up the broken Sanguan on the ground without saying a word.I always feel that Dazai-san seems to be broken... The character set ran wildly on a strange road and never returned.she thinks.

The two freshly served bowls of night miso butter ramen have a thin film of oil on the soup surface, and some have been mashed with thick char siu meat and seaweed slices.

Unlike other people who like to eat half of the ramen or poke the egg at the end, Ranpo thinks that the soft-boiled egg must be poked first and then mixed with the noodle soup to play its role, just like now— —

The egg yolk "biu" that was poked lightly by him splashed out a thick, thick and delicious runny yellow!

The gurgling liquid is like mango pudding with a sense of transparency. The moment the egg liquid is broken, the egg liquid trembles across the noodles and soup covered with sweet corn kernels. The picture feels very comfortable. Another smell of eggs is still warm, and the unique freshness of the egg liquid wraps the noodles full of collagen, and the bright colors whet the appetite.

Osamu Dazai was already hungry, he couldn't wait to pick up a large piece of thinly sliced ​​shoulder meat with wooden chopsticks, and sniffed it intoxicated: "Ah~ it's alive, this fat and juicy meat , desire, feeling..."

While speaking, the young man's dark and deep pupils gradually brightened up, like a group of dazzling flames suddenly bursting out over Yokohama Bay in the middle of the night, illuminating the surrounding darkness at once.

What followed were dots of starlight falling down, like fireflies in a summer night, constantly shining green light...

Cage Island Green stared blankly at the person in front of him. "... There is already a gleam of "light" in your eyes. She murmured unconsciously. Thinking about it, she stared at the noodles in the other party's bowl for a long time before she retracted her eyes and said softly, "That's great...that's great. "

"Meow~"

The leader, Miao Zai, who was lazily leaning on the bar table, condescendingly contemptuously cast a contemptuous glance at this worthless "self", and his black furry tail was swinging back and forth leisurely under the warm orange light.

He is so sour...
