Kneeling and begging to live past the age of 18

"Ash! Let's go out and play!"

Early in the morning, Edogawa Ranpo got stuck and came to Miki's house next door. Before the other children came, he decisively took Miki Nozomi away in advance, and did not give others a chance.

With Miki Nozomi, Luanbu soon came to the river that was deserted one day. He looked behind him vigilantly, and he was relieved after making sure that no one else was following him.

Well, the first day of combat was a success!

"Is that the case?"

Looking at Ranpo Edogawa, who was cautious and almost sneaky from beginning to end, Nozomi Miki had no choice but to speak.

"No one will look for me except Luanbu, right?"

"No, you don't understand."

Looking worriedly at his little friend who couldn't understand what he was worried about because he was too young, and thinking about the consequences of the other party being snatched away by others, Edogawa Ranpo only had firmness in his heart.

If my calculations are correct, someone is already knocking on the door next door looking for Axi, if I hadn't been one step faster, the person would have disappeared!

So absolutely, absolutely not let other people rely on Axi!

Thinking about what he discussed with his mother yesterday, Ranpo decided to change the subject.

"There will be a festival in the town in a few days, and it will be very lively."

As he spoke, he stepped on a big rock by the river bank and couldn't wait to share.

"There will also be very beautiful fireworks, you must like it, Axi."

"Festival? There will be a festival soon."

Miki Nozomi, who didn't know much about this side, spoke thoughtfully.

"So Ranpo, you are looking forward to the snacks at the festival."

"……Um."

Edogawa Ranpo, who couldn't refute at all, nodded a little guilty, and thought it was wrong after thinking about it.

"I want to take Axi to watch the fireworks with you."

How can you say that you are greedy!Although food is enough, fireworks are also very important!

"Okay, okay, I see."

Smilingly agreed, Miki Nozomi said that he would try his best.

"I'll try to convince my mother."

After all, as a child now, it is absolutely impossible for her mother to let her and the young Luanbu go to the town.

"It doesn't matter, my mother will persuade."

Thinking that she has never failed, even her father would lose to her mother, Edogawa Ranpo is full of confidence.

"Absolutely no problem."

Time passed little by little, and soon, it was time for the festival.

Edogawa's mother gave full play to her own advantages and reached a united front with Miki's mother as housewives, successfully turning this festival into a parent-child tour for two families to bond and bond.

"Here here!"

As soon as he entered the festival, Edogawa Ranpo was like a husky just having a good time. He simply knew that Nozomi Miki couldn't keep up with him, so he just excitedly pointed at the various stalls around him. Point, did not do nothing to let go.

"This! There are black ones!"

It's rare that I didn't eat from the beginning to the end like before, squatting in front of the goldfish fishing stall, pointing at a little black goldfish among the red bushes, and yelling.

"Look, Ah Xi! It's as black as my hair!"

"Huh? Let me see."

Approaching the goldfish fishing stall, Miki Nozomi looked at the black goldfish that Edogawa Ranpo pointed at, and nodded decisively.

"Fill?"

He lowered his head to look at his cute wallet that was only fattened by his mother's repeated instructions, and Luanbu looked at the goldfish wandering in the eye basin, and bought the net without hesitation.

"Fishing!"

"First of all, the endurance of the paper net..."

Holding the bowl in his left hand and the net in his right, and muttering in a low voice, Edogawa squatted in front of the basin, staring at the black goldfish, as if facing an enemy.

Because when he went to the festival before, all the money was used by him to buy food, so it was really the first time for him to take part in such a game activity.

"Wait here for a while, and then wait for the goldfish to swim over..."

The goldfish in the big basin slowly came to the middle of the paper net just as he expected, and in the next second, he scooped it up randomly, successfully...missed.

Edogawa Ranpo:? ? ? ?

Staring dumbfounded at a goldfish that suddenly flew over, Edogawa raised his head and looked aside, suddenly becoming annoyed.

"what are you doing!"

He actually destroyed himself to catch goldfish!What a nuisance!

"I didn't mean to."

The strange child curled his lips in disdain, and once again looked at Ranbu with malicious intent.

"Speaking of... I heard that you seem to have a 'friend' recently."

As he spoke, his eyes quickly turned to Miki Nozomi who was on the side.

"You're still a little girl, so you can play with ignorant little girls. But..."

"It has nothing to do with you!"

Standing up to stand in front of Miki Nozomi, Edogawa Ranbo looked at the little boy with vigilance.

"No matter what you say, Ash is my friend!"

Still want to sow discord!hateful!so bad! ! !

Standing up with his hips akimbo, the little boy ignored Ranpo's guard, and spoke condescendingly to Nozomi Miki who had already come to Ranpo's side.

"Hey, this Edogawa Ranpo is not someone who can be a good friend. I advise you to leave as soon as possible and not play with him, or you don't cry when he breaks his mouth in front of your mother."

"I didn't!"

His cheeks turned red from anger, he clenched his fists in disorder, and argued loudly.

"Even if I don't say it, adults know it! And I didn't say it!"

Ever since his mother caught him secretly hiding cigarettes, this guy blamed himself for the reason, obviously he didn't say it at all!I still don't believe it when I explain it to him!

I haven't said anything casually for several years! ! !

The strange boy didn't care whether he was walking in disorder or not, he grinned at the corner of his mouth and let out a sneer.

"Who else could you be?"

Could it be that the thing grows its own mouth?

"It is not……"

"Let me say something."

Before Edogawa Ranpo could finish speaking, Miki Nozomi, who probably guessed the cause and effect, stood directly in front of Ranpo. She gave Ranpo a comforting smile before looking seriously at the strange boy.

"First of all, Ranbu is my friend, and I will never break up with friends casually."

She stared at the boy across from her, and her eyes, which were always gentle and calm, were rarely stern.

"Secondly, although Luanpo may not be very good at keeping secrets before, he will never lie. Since Luanpo said that the matter has nothing to do with him, it must not be his problem. Please trust Luanpo's character."

No matter how we got along during this period of time or what, Edogawa Ranpo is just an "ordinary" child. He really knows how to be polite, and he is even cute.

What's more, there are the Edogawa couple. She believes that they can make their son grow up as an "ordinary person" and they will never have problems in education.

Slightly narrowing his eyes, Miki Nozomi looked at the other party and lowered his voice.

"And are you really targeting Ranpo just because of this?"

Surprised by Miki Nozomi's sudden burst of momentum, the strange boy took a step back subconsciously, and when he realized it, his face was full of anger.

"I'm not angry because he can get full marks in the exam without doing anything!"

What's wrong with the scumbag looking down on the bully?Shouldn't he be annoyed that he never attends class and still gets full marks? ! !

After the words fell, the boy who realized that he had exposed what was in his heart hammered himself in his heart, grunted loudly, turned around and disappeared into the crowd with figure eight steps.

Miki Nozomi: "...?"

I haven't continued my talk education yet, why did you just leave...

Miki Nozomi, who felt that she had been reduced to educating bear children, sighed, feeling a bit incapable.

Why do you feel that Ranpo's situation in school is not good?

Turning around, he wanted to continue comforting Edogawa Ranpo, who was in a catastrophe, but when he turned his head just now, what caught his eyes was the sparkling eyes of the other party.

"Ashi!"

The blue eyes reflected the same color under the colorful lights around, as if they were colorful glass, but there was only the shadow of Miki Nozomi inside.

He called Miki Nozomi's name loudly, his voice full of excitement.

"I knew Ash would believe me!"

Although he already knew the result in his heart, he was still a little uneasy. Until now, Edogawa Ranpo can completely let go of his slightly suspended heart and settle down.

Obviously I already knew it in my heart, but when all this really happened, when the other party believed what I said, joy was like milk being poured into a cup. Watching the other party defend their own voice, it is full.

It makes people feel happier than the unknown.

Other than the parents, it was the first time someone believed in him so firmly, he couldn't describe exactly what he was feeling at this moment, his eyes were bent, and he only had simple words to be frank.

"I'm super happy!"

"Okay, okay, of course I will believe in Ranpo."

After all, he is really a good boy.

It was funny to see that there was a wild step with the tail wagging wildly. Miki Nozomi pulled the other party's sleeve and squatted again in front of the basin containing the goldfish.

"The black one is still there, let's start over."

"Ok!"

Nodding his head happily, Edogawa Ranpo took the paper net that Nozomi Miki handed to him, and was about to fish for goldfish, but at the moment of doing it, he remembered something and looked at Nozomi Miki again.

"By the way, Axi, can you... um... can you..."

He pursed his lips, his voice was a little hesitant, with obvious hesitation on his face.

"how?"

Miki Nozomi blinked and looked at the other party in doubt.

"It's just that I know there is no hope, but Axi, can you..."

Edogawa Luanbu took a deep breath and spoke solemnly.

"Can I be the only friend?"

Knowing that his request was a little too much, he hastened to reassure him.

"I'll only have Ashi as my friend too! I promise!"

"a friend?"

"It's just...it's because if other kids come to you, Axi, you'll play with them too..."

With a low voice, Edogawa Ranbu carefully aimed his eyes at Nozomi Miki, like a cat that just wanted to rub against it but didn't dare to move its paws. .

"But they can't help but have one friend, I can do it."

But if it's Axi, other people must think so too...

Luanbu, who suddenly felt that he had no advantage at all, felt extremely depressed, but in the next second, he received the answer.

she says:

"Okay."

Edogawa Ranpo:! ! !

I really, really agreed!Things with such a low probability succeeded! ! !

Smiling and watching the random steps of surprise, Miki Nozomi couldn't help raising her hand to poke the other's soft cheek, and added.

"But the premise is that it's only here."

After all, I and my mother might move at some point. Although it feels impossible in this life, there is still no problem at all during this time.
