I'm on the scramble

You Xianzhi led a group of Butei members on a walk for about ten minutes like carrying a shoulder pole. Don, who has better eyesight, found the destination, pointed to the vermilion eaves in the distance, and shouted excitedly to everyone. :

"Ah, I saw that hot spring villa!"

Everyone who spent all their energy playing around, in these words, it was like seeing an oasis in a thousand miles of desert, and the cells in their bodies burst out with infinite strength.

When Xianzhi put down his shoulder pole... No, the moment he put down the road sign, the people above got out of the car one after another safely, and walked on the path that suddenly opened up, feeling a lot cooler along the way.

"Wow, surrounded by trees and pebbles, so comfortable—"

The natural and friendly scenery of the countryside is different from the scenery of reinforced concrete high-rise buildings in a big city like Yokohama. Along the way, all you can see are river banks, cherry trees, bookstores and old shops. The soft and peaceful atmosphere makes you feel People can't help but relax physically and mentally.

Although he is unwilling to admit that the people in the Armed Detective Agency who are more adapted to rural life, besides Kenji, Ranpo and Ari, who lived together in the countryside as neighbors when they were young, have actually lived in this environment for many years.

Therefore, they should get used to this situation and move forward with a natural attitude with everyone.

It should have been so.

Jing Hua, who was walking in front, found that Ah Li, who had been with her all the time, had not followed, so she couldn't help looking back.

"Miss Li, what's the matter?"

Falling behind the crowd, the girl with tea chestnut hair who specially changed into a light dress today slowed down everyone's pace by a long distance, covering her face with her hands and shutting herself up.The skin exposed between the white fingers is a pink cherry color, which almost blends into a picture scroll with the sweet petals falling around.

She shook her head in resistance.

Yu Xie Ye said coolly: "Well, being hugged by someone all the way, it's normal to feel agitated."

These heart-wrenching words immediately hit the end of Ah Li's hair, she hurriedly withdrew her hands, and ran towards the violent nurse in the club: "Wow... Jingzi, don't say any more!"

Recalling this kind of thing in my heart is completely different from retelling it in other people's mouths. Telling it is simply a public punishment!

Like a chestnut thrown by a little squirrel, Ah Li quickly threw himself on Xie Ye's body and rubbed against his chest fiercely, in order to vent his embarrassment when he saw nothing.The natural height difference between the two made it easy for her to use the soft 'wall' in front of her to block her hot cheeks.

Xie Ye could only helplessly appease the jumping Ali with his "forgiveness". For some reason, Jinghua next door lowered his head to look at the small ups and downs of his chest, and his calm face was thinking something.

"Ali, why don't you hurry up and catch up."

Luanbu, who was walking ahead with his arms around the back of his head, stopped and turned around, and shouted at them in a casual manner.

The famous detective didn't like the place like the countryside where he lived, and he couldn't see Xiao Qingmei's lively figure while walking. Of course, he was keenly aware of what was wrong as he was automatically equipped with a sensor radar.

It's just that he didn't expect him to shout to himself like a normal person, and Ah Li was a little bit unwilling.Suddenly, his head popped out from Yosano Wei'an's chest, like a diver who was holding his breath in the sea and finally regained the air.

She stared at the random steps, and immediately led the two girls beside her, dragging each other and rushing forward quickly.

"coming!"

Carrying simple luggage, everyone crossed a path covered with smooth cobblestones, and they arrived at the gate of the hot spring villa booked for this trip.As soon as they approached, someone came to greet them and took everyone's luggage by the way.

"Welcome, is this Miss Fukuzawa from the Armed Detective Agency? Our people have been waiting for you for a long time, please come in."

In charge of the reception were several handsome young men in kimonos and gowns with the signature of the hot spring resort. Hand over the road signs to them, please find time to return them.

This miraculous request stunned the staff of the other party, and they looked at each other for a while. They still agreed to the request, and the spirit of service was very good.

As for the waiter who is in charge of leading the way, it is another feminine woman wearing the same kimono.

"Please come with me."

Hot Spring Villa is a Japanese-style building that occupies a large area. The beams and wooden boards have been refurbished and waxed, showing a quaint charm.After replacing the shoes at the entrance, everyone immediately put on the cotton slippers provided in the villa. As for the original shoes, they will be taken by the waiter to the locker at the front desk for storage.

Walking on the wooden floor of the corridor with the waiter leading the way, you can see the quiet and elegant scene in the courtyard along the way.

"so beautiful……"

Just seeing the environment inside the hot spring villa, everyone's mood has been completely mobilized.Especially Kenji and Atsushi, who have not seen much of the world, their eyes are shining brightly surrounded by this novelty.

"By the way, everyone, remember to put your things in the room, and then put on your bathrobe and go to the open-air hot spring behind the large public bath!" A Li, who had investigated the facilities of the villa before, clapped her hands and reminded everyone that they can choose the right one. Relax.

After spending so much energy on the way here on foot, it’s not a big deal to enjoy it first. The reason why you come to Hot Spring Villa is to soak in hot springs!

Ah Li is also the daughter of the president of the detective agency, and her relationship and status are all online. After listening to the leader's words, everyone immediately raised their hands in agreement: "Okay——"

The thought of being able to relax and soak in the hot spring afterwards gave everyone strength.Just as they were about to follow the waiter to the room, at this moment, a meaningful voice came out from some corner.

"Large public bath... Does that mean there are mixed baths?"

A wet, bandaged arm climbed to their feet from the porch overlooking the courtyard, and the dripping water soaked the planks of the porch, spreading a dark color.

In broad daylight, the scene of water ghosts appearing like a horror movie immediately frightened the waitress leading the way in front to scream.

"Ahhh, what—"

"Don't be afraid! I'll kick you down right away!"

As a messenger of justice, Ah Li immediately rushed forward to protect the innocent people, and pushed the head of a young man in a windbreaker back to the corridor.

"Wow!"

There was a sound of a heavy human body falling to the ground.

The members of the detective agency rushed forward in time, fixed their eyes on the wooden boards under the corridor, and found that it turned out to be a familiar face.

"Dazai, what are you doing here!"

Kunikida bent down and grabbed the collar of the young man in the windbreaker and shook it vigorously. With such a partner who often made 'surprises', he felt that his life would be shortened for several years.

Dazai, who was being dangled back and forth, showed no remorse at all, and was vaguely recalling the feeling brought about by Ari's kick just now.

"Miss Li, Miss Li's kick really didn't let water at all. It almost allowed me to embrace the death I have dreamed of for a long time... If there is a beautiful lady who can accompany me on the road, it will be complete."

"Compared to this, Dazai-san, why on earth are you here!"

After patiently listening to the senior's unreliable speech as always, Dun was almost full of black lines to investigate the reason for his appearance.

Hearing this, Dazai opened his hands, freed from his partner's bondage, he whistled and explained sternly.

"I didn't expect that walking the 'water route' would be so much faster than you. When I opened my eyes, I was already floating to the edge of the villa. So I climbed over the wall and stayed here waiting to give you a 'surprise' ’, how about it—your ‘little cutie’ suddenly appeared, is it a surprise, or is it unexpected... Aww!"

Before he finished speaking, his partner punched him: "I'm surprised by your size! Come in through the main entrance for me! Don't cause so much trouble for others!"

Then Kunikida apologized to the startled waitress: "I'm sorry, this is our companion, I'm very sorry to have disturbed you by intruding."

The waitress couldn't speak, so she covered her mouth and shook her head repeatedly.

The beaten Dazai was limp and limp, and was pulled ashore by Kunikida like a piece of kelp that hadn't dried yet. He unrepentantly gave a 'tss' and brought the topic back to the original point: "I think the first time Let's talk about bathing in the hot springs with you guys, hey, hey, Kunikida-kun, don't you want to have a mixed bath with the girls?"

Speaking of the latter, Dazai's lowered voice was full of temptation.

"Wh, what are you talking about, bastard! The human body always belongs to the other half of the lover! How can a man and a woman meet honestly in the same bathhouse before getting married! It's shameless!"

I don't know what picture he thought of, Kunikida's face turned red suddenly, and he flung the Dazai in his hand like a windmill with his hair exploded.

Everyone stared blankly, Kunikida really had amazing arm strength when teaching Dazai a lesson.

However, Dazai, who was spinning in the air, seemed to have already had the experience of being dropped on an electric fan and was still as stable as an old dog. Here, he pointedly reminded them of the deepest desires hidden in men.

"Kunikida-kun really doesn't understand style. Isn't it normal for every man to expect a good figure from a woman? Especially when a woman he likes is present."

After these words came out, Kunikida finally couldn't bear the shame rushing out of his heart, and when it turned into a nosebleed, he threw away his partner.The youth in the sand-colored windbreaker and the bright red nosebleed drew a semicircular arc in the air.

"Don't confuse me with you!!" Kunikida, who had thrown a perfect score in the shot put, roared angrily.

However, the words had already been spoken, and the eyes of the men standing there involuntarily shifted slightly, turning their gazes to the girl's side.

Ah Li, who had his eyes focused on him, suddenly changed his face, ignoring that sweet appearance and clenched his fists: "Hey, why are you staring at us like that old pervert Dazai? I feel offended."

The boy group on the opposite side tensed up like a conditioned reflex.

Ke and Xie Ye touched their lower lips, and revealed a certain fact with great interest: "In my opinion, he is actually only staring at one of us. I can't see it, so you are all interested in Xiaoli's body." interest?"

"……poor."

Even Jinghua, the youngest, let out a murderous look quietly, as if she was completely disappointed in these boys.When the cuffs of the kimono moved, one could feel that there seemed to be some kind of weapon hidden in her cuffs, the kind that could cut someone's throat with one blow.

Dun, who was regarded as an enemy by his female companions of the same sex, had his fur all over his body blown up, responding with an animal sense that sensed a natural enemy.Huadai, who failed to confess, was so scared that she immediately looked away, and apologized to the quilt in her arms.And Kunikida happened to meet Ah Li's eyes again, and the nosebleeds gushed out again, and he hurriedly took out a handkerchief to cover his nose and pretended to be dead.

So Tanizaki became the only remaining male representative. Seeing the girls staring at him, he looked around and found that his companions were all 'killed', and immediately waved his hands in a panic as if trying to cover up something.

"Dr. Yoyo and Xie Ye, what are you talking about! I swear that it is absolutely impossible to have any inappropriate thoughts about Ms. Li! After all, how could I be older than me but still look like my sister? Would be interested!"

Ah Li's mood was complicated: "... Tanizaki, it's dangerous for you to talk like that."

Sure enough, the next second Naomi threw his brother down directly.

"What, brother, is there any dissatisfaction with Naomi's figure? How about taking a bath together tonight to verify?"

"Shut up...no, stop, Naomi!"

Tanizaki was like a woman from a good family whose clothes were torn apart, clutching her chest in the hands of her younger sister in shame and indignation.

Just as the scene was in chaos, a certain detective walked over and pulled A Li's wrist away.

"The real detective has seen Ah Li's body a long time ago, you guys don't even think about taking advantage of this."

Everyone's actions stopped in unison at this moment, each of them was dumbfounded, and shouted out loudly amidst the explosive facts: "Hey hey——"

——When did the two of them actually develop such a relationship? !

These words were so shocking that everyone couldn't recover for a long time, and stood in the corridor dumbfounded.

The person involved, Ah Li, was startled, and then realized what he was talking about, and his blood was almost boiling.While being led away by Luanbu, she stammered and shouted the truth.

"Well, how long ago was that, it was just that the children took a bath together!"

The relationship between childhood sweethearts is destined to witness countless dark histories between each other.Especially for the two of them, they had dealt with each other as early as in the mother's womb, and the two families often entrusted themselves to the care of each other's family. It is completely normal for the two children to be arranged to take a bath together ignorantly. Let's develop!

But the famous detective with a strong desire for monopoly ignored her shame, and just threw a sentence in front: "Hmph, no matter how long ago, Mr. Ranpo, no matter how long ago, no matter whether it is past, present or future, I am the only one who can see your body!"

Ah Li stumbled and stumbled, his entire consciousness almost fell into a coma state. In his declaration full of exclusive meaning, he didn't dare to look at the expression of his companion behind him.

—Does he even know what he's talking about?

Gradually, the voices and figures of the companions faded away and disappeared from sight.

The wrist being held by him was constantly burning, and then unconsciously, the fingertips moved down, becoming a hand-holding posture.

Luanbu said so handsomely, who knew that he led her around the corridor of the hot spring villa several times alone.Without a waiter to lead the way, the two of them circled back and forth in the hot spring villa like two lost elk.During this period, Ranpo has been trying to attract her attention with other topics.

"Ali, Ari, I brought the small desk lamp in the room at home, as well as your doll."

"...Well, then I'll get it from you later."

"Ariel, I also brought a bunch of ducks, as long as they are filled with water, they can turn into water guns!"

"Then let me play in the hot spring later."

"Ali, Ari, are there any dishes in the villa that I like tonight? I want to eat hamburger steak."

"I have told the proprietress of this store in advance, they said they will prepare."

"Ah, ah, ah..."

After being led by him for so long, Ah Li also gradually changed from being frightened to calm down a little bit, and finally got used to this situation of getting along with each other.

In the corridor, many guests who lived together in the villa showed a knowing smile when they saw the two walking hand in hand.

Ah Li bowed his head and pretended to be calm, and wrapped his hair behind his ear with the other hand, trying not to care about other people's eyes.However, she finally realized that there was something wrong with it, and she looked puzzled.

"Ranbu, where are you taking me?"

The black-haired young man in the beret stopped, and Ah Li hit his head on the back.While rubbing his forehead, he turned around, with a look of awkwardness and reluctance to admit it.

"Master Ranpo originally wanted to take you back to the room..."

The detective looked around, but he didn't want to land on Ah Li, "But I couldn't find the place after searching for a long time."

For a moment, Ah Li couldn't tell whether he was speechless or funny.

"You just wander around without knowing where the room is. This is the direction of the banquet hall." A Li shook the bamboo horse's hand, and the hands of the two couldn't help dangling in the air like jumping rope gummies.

Really, the road is crazy.

In the end, Ah Li led the elementary school student and led him back to the boy's room.The boys' room is the same as the girls' room, and the doors and windows are glued with translucent camphor paper.Open the Japanese-style lattice sliding door, the floor of the room is covered with light-colored tatami mats, and there are futons neatly folded in the corner for several people to sleep.

While they were wandering around the villa, Kunikida and the others seemed to have visited the room, and they probably had already changed into their yukatas and gone to the hot spring.There is still a set of stacked bathrobes left in the room, which should be reserved for Ranbu.

"Okay, you should still know how to change clothes by yourself? I'll go back first, and I'll come pick you up after I change."

As Ah Li said, he wanted to put Lu Chi Zhuma here and return to the girl's room.But just as she was turning her head to leave, another pulling force came from her wrist, and she was pulled back and thrown into the opponent's arms.

"Random, random steps?" Her voice revealed a bit of surprise and panic uncontrollably.

Luanbu put his arms around her back, and because of the difference in height between Ali and him, his forehead just touched the position in front of his shoulder.She could clearly feel that under the cloak and shirt, the existence of the collarbone, which was more delicate than those of her peers, was being held tightly against the skin of her forehead every second.

He buried the lower half of his face on the top of Ah Li's fluffy and soft hair, and the clear voice that came out of his Adam's apple was a little dull at this moment, and it almost sounded close to her ear: "You are not allowed to show it to others, the offer Only then can I let you go."

It was only then that Ah Li realized that he was still thinking about the matter that Dazai proposed to take mixed baths earlier.

To be honest, although the two of them grew up together and were childhood sweethearts who had known each other for more than 2 years, their intimate posture like this was not so common in the past.

This has gone far beyond the intimacy of childhood sweethearts.

Feeling that there is steam in his head, Ah Li's thinking to continue his rationality is dizzy.For some reason, she twitched her head and said something hard to say to Luanbu.

"What... is it all right to show you my body?"

There was a sudden pain on the tip of his tongue, and Ah Li, who had come to his senses, turned into a wildly screaming groundhog in his heart, wanting to pick up the tatami with his toes here.

(Ahhh, why did you just say that!)

No matter how regretful and shaken Ah Li was, the detective who was hugging her suddenly tightened his arms, and the air flowing around her became vaguely dangerous.

They were alone in the room, and the opened bamboo window let light flow into the room through the open gap, but due to the limited distance, it only illuminated the front of the tatami, which was still some distance away from their feet.A Li, who had merged into the shadow of danger, felt a little itchy from the breath coming from his ears.

"Ali, sometimes Master Ranpo doesn't show interest in others, but it doesn't mean he has no interest in you. How old do you think Master Ranpo is now?"

The tone of the detective buried his head in her ear was slightly dissatisfied.

Obviously they have always been together in the past, but the random steps now make Ah Li realize that something is different from usual.

She couldn't help opening her lips nervously, and replied, "Two... 26 years old?"

The honest answer did not relieve the other party's displeasure, and the black-haired young man opened a little distance from each other, so that she could look up and see the pair of red phoenix eyes that lifted the emerald green waves.

"So, do you think Ranpo-sama really doesn't understand that kind of thing?"

Ash's pupils trembled.

If there is a tail behind him, Ah Li, who heard this sentence, would definitely blow up the cat's tail.She was pressed by the chaotic steps and took a few steps back, until her back hit the cold wall, and she stepped into the opponent's wall trap without retreating, her whole head was still filled with boiling paste, unable to think.

——Is that kind of thing, the kind of thing she thought? !
