Kneeling and begging to live past the age of 18

The happy Edogawa Ranpo was educated by his mother.

Edogawa's mother hated iron but taught her son not to be so greedy, and even let the little girl give you snacks.

Even if the little girl doesn't like to eat snacks, it's not all your reason!

"But we are friends!"

Feeling that he was not wrong at all, Luanpo firmly refuted.

"Mom, you also said that friends are those who help each other. Ah Xi doesn't like to eat, so I helped her eat. This is mutual help!"

Mother Edogawa: "..."

Mutual help is not for this place!

"help each other?"

Edogawa's mother smiled slightly, persuasively.

"Then what did Ranbu do to help his friend?"

Ranpo answered decisively.

"I helped her eat snacks!"

Mother Edogawa: "..."

You can't get around the hurdle of snacks, can you?

In the end, Edogawa's mother made a cruel decision after crushing her own son with reason and emotion.

"Snacks are halved this week!"

Random steps:? ? ! ! !

Mom, you are my real mother! ! !

However, in front of his own mother, no matter how hard he struggled, it was useless.The next day, when Miki Nozomi saw Edogawa walking in disorder again, he harvested a limp little black hair.

"Ranbo, what's wrong with you...?"

The energetic look of the young boy in front of him yesterday has disappeared, and the hair tips that were originally raised mischievously are now hanging down limply, and he looks extremely depressed.

"My snacks were halved..."

Edogawa Ranpo, who decided that Miki Nozomi didn't know much because of his age, sighed melancholy, and explained to her.

"Obviously we were helping each other, but my mother got angry!"

I was not angry at first, but after I finished saying "I helped her eat snacks!", I became really angry.

Obviously what he said is the truth?What the hell is wrong?

"……I see."

Miki Nozomi nodded, guessing roughly.She pulled him into the shade, took out a bag of biscuits from behind, and handed it to him.

"Come, let me eat."

Although she usually shows no interest in snacks, Miki's mother obviously won't stop preparing them just because her daughter is not interested.

What if the daughter wants to eat on a whim that day?

Random step:! ! !

Raising his head with a swipe, the original depression was swept away, Edogawa Ranbu's green eyes stared straight at the bag of bear biscuits in Miki Nozomi's hand, his face was instantly filled with happiness.

"Ash, you are so kind!"

He took the bear biscuit without saying a word, opened the package directly, picked up a piece impatiently, stuffed it into his mouth, and ate it happily.

"By the way, I'm going to take you around the village today."

The biscuit in his mouth was finally swallowed, Edogawa Ranpo finally remembered the business.

"Although there's nothing to see, I'm already tired of watching it, but you're new here because of Axi."

And besides being able to integrate into adults without any obstacles, I don’t know much about other places because I am too young, so as a friend, I have to remind my friends how the people in the village are "pretending".

"That's it...then thank you, Ranbu."

A few steps to the edge of the tree shadow, Nozomi smiled and thanked.

"This is exactly what I need."

Familiarity with the terrain is a must. After all, this is not the eldest nephew who was as powerful as Kyoya in his previous life. What if there is any natural or man-made disaster?

"I will handle it!"

Coming to Miki Nozomi, Edogawa Ranpo nodded earnestly, and led Miki Nozomi to familiarize himself with various places in the village.

Even during the period, he also said a lot of shocking "gossip" that was unknown but he himself had a normal face.

"Grandpa Nishimura of this family is very boring. Ever since his mother-in-law passed away, he eats, sleeps and walks at a fixed time every day. It has been several years since he has a smiling face."

"And this family, Axi, you must stay away. Their family always quarrels because of some completely incomprehensible things, and they can settle old scores every day. I once said that his husband still likes his first love, but he was blown away. , It's really weird."

"And his family, Matsumoto is really too fierce. Last time I couldn't help but say that everyone knows that he was with the daughter-in-law of the Sawano family next door, so he was murdered!"

……

A series of gossip went from the east to the west, and almost no family was left behind. Miki Nozomi was full of sighs when he heard it.

Look at what Ranbu did?When the husband and wife say that the husband is nostalgic for his first love, he speaks out about his cuckold behavior in public, and even tells about where other little kids hide their things... and so on and so on.

It's probably because of the high incense or his parents are so good that he hasn't been beaten!

Until all the "gossip" was finished, Miki Nozomi looked back at the seemingly peaceful and tranquil village, but the road was slippery. After a long while, she sincerely patted Edogawa Ranpo's arm.

"How should I put it, Ranpo, you are really...too courageous."

"...Axi, I can hear it."

Edogawa Ranpo was expressionless, with resentful eyes.

"You have something to say."

But obviously everyone knows what I said, but as soon as I say it, the eyes of the adults around me will be extraordinarily fierce...

"How should I put it, I seem to know why you were murdered."

Sighing, Miki Nozomi directly revealed the truth.

"Ranbu, you are purely because you can't control your mouth."

There are so many things just because you know and let it go, and you even directly told other people's secrets, it's easy to be murdered.

"As long as you don't say anything, you'll be fine."

"...I know about this too!"

Sitting depressed on the big rock at the entrance of the village, Edogawa Luanbu was puzzled.

"But I just don't understand. It's something everyone knows, why can't it be said."

Is it interesting to pretend to be happy every day?

"Sure enough, it's because Luanbu is still young."

After all, after getting in touch with her in the past few days, she can be considered to know the education model of the other party's parents. They just want to give the other party an "ordinary" childhood, so they deceive him that all adults are smarter than him, and he doesn't understand it because he is still young.

Anyway, with them watching, you can wait until later to tell the truth, so you don't have to worry about your son going astray.

Picking a fairly flat stone, Miki Nozomi simply sat next to the other party, brewing words.

"Look, Ranpo yourself is only 11 years old, even if you are an adult, you have to be 20 years old."

"But it's so long—"

With a protracted voice, Edogawa twisted his body and turned to face Miki Nozomi, his cheeks puffed up slightly.

"And you can understand it at such an age, which means that I am really not smart."

Otherwise, it's fine to be crushed by my parents' IQ, and now I'm being beaten by my friends in other ways...

If he hadn't been certified by his parents to be developing normally, he really had reason to wonder if he was stupid enough to get along with others.

"Ranbu, haven't you thought about one thing?"

A little hesitant, Miki Nozomi carefully probed.

"Like you're actually very smart, a genius or something?"

As soon as the words fell, Edogawa's resolute voice fell directly.

"impossible!"

His eyes are full of seriousness.

"Father and mother can't go wrong, so I'm just a normal kid."

"Is that so..."

His eyes were defeated by the other party's firm expression, Miki Nozomi rubbed his cheeks, and decided to change the way.

"Otherwise, let's do this."

She clapped her hands and made a decision.

"You can watch how I communicate with others. If you don't understand anything afterwards, you can ask me and I will explain it to you."

After all, it is not good to rashly intervene in other people's education, so it can only be explained and explained.

"Okay okay."

Edogawa Ranpo's eyes lit up, and he nodded frantically.

"I'm OK!"

After that day, as if some switch was turned on, in the eyes of Miki's mother happy that her daughter had friends, and Edogawa's mother's helpless expression towards her son, the two began to wander around the village from time to time.

Most of the time, Miki Nozomi stared at a certain target and made Luanbu stay where she was. She stepped forward to strike up a conversation with various operations, and finally got the target's praise as the end, so that Luanbu could observe carefully.

However, after such an operation, Miki Nozomi quickly became famous in the village, and neighbors all mentioned her as praises, completely becoming a typical example of "other people's children".

"what happened?"

Another day, seeing her son go out excitedly, and now he came back with a tense face, Edogawa's mother looked at Luanbu suspiciously, guessing.

"Is this... you met another child?"

"Yes."

After recovering from his contemplation, Edogawa came to the house from the door in a few random steps, and spoke hastily.

"Mother, I found a big thing!"

As if to show the seriousness of the matter, he gestured with his hands and drew a huge circle.

"Very, very large!"

"let me see……"

Edogawa's mother squinted her eyes and looked up and down on Ranpo, and she came to a conclusion after a while.

"Did other children bully you? Not necessarily, Axi also has a little bit of it? But she is not someone who helps other people ignore you, so you are..."

The corners of her mouth gradually curled up, and Edogawa's mother's voice was meaningful.

"Jealous?"

"Jealous? How can I be jealous outside?"

Having no time to think about what his mother meant, Edogawa Ranpo just kept a serious expression and a solemn voice.

"I found that although Axi is my friend, she is also very good to other people. If others want to be her friend, she will agree."

Thinking of Axi's gentle look when other children were looking for him outside today, even helping up those who fell and crying, and even giving away all the snacks that he had planned for himself, Edogawa was in a state of confusion. The danger alarm immediately sounded in Bu's heart.

superlative!

Although Ah Xi only has one friend now, and it was because he rejected the other party, but it was because Ah Xi had not been here for a long time, and he became friends with the other party first because of the proximity of his home.

If other people want to be friends with Axi, as far as he knows, Axi will definitely not refuse.

Even if other people invite Axi to play with them, Axi will not refuse.

Because other people in the village would not take me with them when they played, if one accidentally let Axi be snatched away by others, would I have to squat at the door pitifully and wait for Axi to come back?

Thinking of this, Edogawa Ranpo felt extremely wronged.

hateful!That does not work!I absolutely must take Axi away before others come!

I went downstairs to pick up the courier phone and broke it (it hurts so much OTZ), and I am going out to buy a new phone. I will add more when I get it and get used to it!
