mediocre novelist

==============================

"Are you standing here waiting for me?" I sighed and changed the subject.

"No, I didn't know you were here not long ago." Edogawa Ranpo replied honestly. I know his character, so I have no dissatisfaction with such an answer.

"Then you are lost?" I know Edogawa Ranpo is a road idiot

After the author exchange meeting that year, he pulled my sleeve confidently and asked me to take him home

However, Edogawa Ranpo had moved not long ago, and I hadn't recorded his address in the surrounding dessert shop, so I had to take him to the hotel where I was staying that night and give him a single room, waiting for his editor take him back two days

——At that time, he was like a confused cat, quite cute

Seeing that Edogawa Ranpo's expression was wrong, I realized that he knew what I was thinking, so I immediately changed my words: "Do you want to have dinner with me? I'm treating you."

Edogawa Luanpo pondered for a moment, agreed

I'm going to the imitation shop of Si Yingshi, a sophomore in high school who is known as the "White Knight of the Dining Table", one of the ten heroes of Yuanyue. My cousin and niece are already waiting for me nearby.

The reason for choosing this simulated restaurant is because the other party only accepts three tables of guests at a time

Dim lighting and screens for isolation are really suitable for me. As long as Edogawa Ranpo cooperates, the chance of my being exposed will be lower

Edogawa Ranpo: I don't

"Mr. Su, so you like to eat French cuisine." Edogawa Ranpo's voice was not loud, but it was different in such a quiet store. I heard voices coming from both the kitchen and the next table. The sound of falling knives and forks

On purpose... Ranpo Edogawa, you definitely did it on purpose!You clearly saw what I meant, but you refused to cooperate!

"This is your revenge for not answering my text messages."

Wait, what text message?I do not know how?

Edogawa Ranbu's pupils shrank, and he was about to say something but was interrupted by Si Yingshi who rushed out of the kitchen in a panic

"Well, may I ask, are you really... Teacher Suga?"

Su Woying proved it for me, and the atmosphere in the store suddenly changed

Fortunately, Si Yingshi still remembers his job, and returned to the kitchen with an excited and uneasy expression to continue cooking. The other customers also calmed down when they saw this, they just turned their heads to look at me frequently

[What is the text message you mentioned? ] In order not to be exposed, I borrowed the pen and paper that my cousin and niece carried with me

[You didn't receive it? ]

[Of course not, I haven’t received a text message with words like yours, and you haven’t responded to the text messages I sent, I thought I was blocked by you. ]

[......]

Edogawa Ranpo took my hand under the cover of the tablecloth and wrote on the palm of my hand

After distinguishing what the other party wrote, my heart sank

There is no need to question Edogawa Ranpo's talent. Unless he wants to, what he said is true. It's not just me, even the system admits it

Which means... what he told me is true

i'm a little creepy

"You actually deleted my text messages and advertising text messages together?!"

I also reacted, and replied cooperatively: "Sorry, as an apology, let me treat you to dessert."

I paused, and then added: "French cuisine always has desserts, I think Si Yingshi's cooking skills are not bad, so you don't have to go out of your way to find desserts—not if you want to try desserts from other chefs Can't."

I heard a voice from the kitchen, it seems that the other party was scared by me

……sorry……

"Let's talk about it tomorrow." Edogawa Ranpo was not very happy, "Accompany me to eat dessert tomorrow."

"it is good."

Although my cousin and niece didn't understand what we were talking about, she didn't ask, and left after having a meal with us

And I also took Edogawa Ranpo to find the "President" in his mouth after signing for Si Yingshi and other customers

"You were lost at that time, why did you agree to my invitation?"

"The president will have to talk to those people for a long time, so it's better to go to dinner with you." Edogawa Ranpo's tone was very righteous, and the little white flowers outside could easily be detoured into the ditch by him (although he didn't mean it at all. , I am not a white flower)

"Then you also stayed at Yuanyue Resort for the past five days?"

"The famous detective's vacation is very short. He only stays for two days and leaves tomorrow afternoon."

"That's it." I feel a little sorry, it's been seven years since we last met, and I don't know when the next meeting will be

"You don't have to regret it." Edogawa Ranpo still wore his glasses, "Our armed detective agency has decided to settle in Yokohama."

"Yokohama? Are you sure?" Edogawa Ranpo's fighting power made me very worried about his safety

"Don't underestimate famous detectives." Edogawa Ranpo glared at me dissatisfied, but he also knew that he could not convince me with his own example, so he talked about Fukuzawa Yukichi, the president of the Armed Detective Agency.

I've heard of a swordsman called "Silver Wolf", but I didn't expect him to open a detective agency with Ranpo Edogawa. I thought the president that Ranpo Edogawa was talking about was a powerful detective

"Your detective agency has so few people, is it really all right?" There are only three people including the doctor and Yosano Akiko, is it really all right?I worry about thinking

"There will be more people next year." Edogawa Ranpo gave me a meaningful look, but it made me feel that he was just looking at someone through me

"Next year?" Hearing Edogawa Ranpo say this, I stopped thinking about it

Next year... Dazai, it's been eight years since I debuted, and we've known each other for two years as a Lupin quartet

maybe next year will be a good year

Back in Yokohama, I thought about replacing all the electronic products at home secretly, but doing so would make "midori" notice something was wrong, so I gave up

"midori", no, I shouldn't call him that anymore, I should call him "the king of green", I didn't expect that what I thought that day became a proverb

The Green King, who is good at programming, made a software called "jungle", and through various operations, he became the king with the largest number of clans. Now his power has not only penetrated into Yokohama, but also in all counties across the country his clan

Being good at coding means that the Green King can easily hack into other people's mobile phones. The text messages that Edogawa Ranpo and I sent to each other were intercepted and deleted by him.

The King of Green spent seven years making friends with a "seemingly ordinary" writer, and even deleted the news that was not good for the King of Green himself, and he didn't want the writer to know

why?

If you just want to use me, you don't have to spend seven years in exchange for a place in my heart. If you treat each other with sincerity... would normal people use electronic products to spy on their friends?

i feel terrible now

What kind of thoughts does the person behind the screen have?i can't guess at all
