Don't get in the way of my marriage

After living for so many years, Yuan met such a familiar child for the first time.

Seeing that Yuan was stunned for a long time without responding, Edogawa patted Yuan's lower back in dissatisfaction.

"I said, I'm tired from walking, carry me on your back, you should go to my house anyway."

Really, can't you understand such a simple logic?

I went out shopping with my mother early in the morning, and after walking so much, Ranpo Edogawa was too tired to leave.

Thinking that he couldn't work hard for his mother, and happened to meet Yuan on the side of the road, of course he would not let go of the labor that came to his door.

What's more, since he wanted to ask his father a question, it wouldn't be too much to help send his son home.

By coincidence, Yuan, who was always afraid to avoid little ghosts, squatted down obediently.

If this is the son of Mr. Edogawa's family, the help is to make a good first impression on Mr. Edogawa.He persuaded himself like this in his heart.

"Hey, Yosh! Now let's go!"

Supporting Yuan's shoulders, Edogawa randomly stretched out his hand and pointed to the overcrowded market not far away, signaling Yuan to go there.

That's not bad, the height of this Mr. Guest, so he is the tallest existence here.

Riding on the 1.8-meter-five Gen, Edogawa looked around excitedly. This was a scenery that could not be enjoyed from his father's back.

Carrying such a restless Edogawa Ranpo on his back, worried that he would accidentally fall, Yuan had no choice but to hold the former's feet tightly, but in this way, his neat suit jacket would inevitably be messed up. His wobbly feet brushed against the dirt.

Sure enough, he still hated the little devil the most.

After walking some distance.

"Stop at the fish shop ahead!"

Edogawa Ranpo pressed Yuan's head with one hand, signaling him not to leave yet.

Resisting the idea of ​​dragging the kid on his back to beat him up, Yuan gritted his teeth and stopped.

He has never been used like this before!

In front of the fish shop, Mrs. Edogawa, who was putting away her purse, turned around with the ingredients she had bought after hearing a familiar voice.

"Let's go back...chambering, it's too rude."

This kind of scene of seeing his son riding on someone else's back may be shocking to others, but to Mrs. Edogawa, it has long been commonplace.

After all, Luanbu often sneaks away to find a "mount" for transportation while taking advantage of his gaps in grocery shopping.

Last time, I did not know where to bring a buffalo. The only luck is that the buffalo is relatively docile, and the owner has received some favors from their family, so the matter did not become a big deal.

Regarding Mrs. Edogawa's disapproval, Edogawa Ranpo curled his lips disapprovingly.

"This is Mr. Guest who is visiting today."

Carry him back just on the way.

"That's also..."

"It doesn't matter. Dare I ask if your wife is Mrs. Edogawa? Nobunosuke Shimogen, I have some doubts about rushing to visit today. I hope Mr. Edogawa can answer."

Yuan, who wanted to make a good impression on the other party, said very graciously that he didn't mind taking a step backwards, and also forcefully took all the vegetables she bought from Mrs. Edogawa to his hands.

In this way, Minamoto carried Edogawa on his back and walked towards Edogawa's house with the vegetables bought by Mrs. Edogawa. If he wasn't still wearing a suit, maybe other people would ask the Edogawa family when Is there such a handsome servant?

On the way, Luanbu tugged at Yuan's curly black hair and asked curiously.

"Hey, you said your name is Genshinnosuke, can I call you Shinnosuke?"

What a rude request!

Source: "Yes."

"Hmph, Shinnosuke, is it fun in the city?"

Not fun at all.

Source: "It's okay."

"I heard that there are so many types of thick dim sum in the city that you can eat one every day, and you can't eat all of them for a year. Is this true?"

This topic is over the top...

Yuan: "I don't know, if Mr. Ranbu wants to eat, I can take you there."

"Then it's settled!"

Ranpo made a "yeah" gesture, danced happily on Yuan's back, and turned his head to Mrs. Edogawa at the same time.

"Mom, this is Shinnosuke's own promise!"

Because the children in the whole town were tricked into "offering" their snacks before, and after being discovered by their parents, they were punished by not eating snacks for a month, so that Luanbu deeply understood this kind of thing.

In this case, mother has no reason to teach him.

Well, although Shinnosuke always disagrees in front of him, as long as he can take him to eat delicious thick snacks, it is not impossible for him to treat him as a friend.

Madam Edogawa helplessly covered her mouth and smiled.

"That's really troublesome Mr. Yuan."

Source: You guys don't understand polite words? !

But in fact, the two Edogawas present could hear the perfunctory in the original words, but Luanbu still doesn't quite understand what perfunctory is, only knowing that once spoken, it will be realized.

As for Mrs. Edogawa, she still can't bear to let the chaotic steps with a clear heart come into contact with the hypocrisy and hypocrisy of the adult world, anyway, Mr. Yuan didn't object, did he?

After walking for about ten minutes, I finally reached the Edogawa house.

Mrs. Edogawa stepped forward and pushed open the wooden door of the courtyard.

"Honey, we're back."

Walking into the courtyard, Mr. Edogawa, who was playing chess with him not far away, turned his head, looked at his lover affectionately, turned his gaze, and was a little stunned when he saw Yuan carrying vegetables with his back on a chaotic step.

This is the one Natsume-san told himself about... Well, it seems a bit too approachable.

"This is Nobunosuke Minamoto, Mr. Minamoto, he is the guest you mentioned yesterday, and he helped me a lot on the way back."

Mrs. Edogawa smiled and took off the vegetable basket full of ingredients from Yuan's hand, and at the same time took the Ranbu on Yuan's back, "Mr. Yuan, please take a good rest, Ranbu, don't bother Mr. Yuan anymore .”

Finally seeing the person he really wanted to visit, Minagi gave a junior salute to Mr. Edogawa.

"Shimogen Shinnosuke, I came to disturb you hastily, please Jiang..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the other party.

"Before asking questions, play a game of chess with me."

Seeing Minamoto sitting across from each other in an orderly manner, Mr. Edogawa sighed silently in his heart.

You are treating me as a psychological master, Mr. Natsume.

This viscous and suffocating daze is desperately longing for the breath of redemption.

He didn't feel it just now, but after Yuan really got close to him, he felt it clearly.

Fortunately, Luanbu thought they were bored and ran into the room to watch TV.

"Mr. Edogawa must already know my problem."

After making a move, Yuan raised his head and looked at Mr. Edogawa steadfastly.

So, please tell him the meaning of life.

What is he living for?

Mr. Edogawa, who was locked by Yuan's gaze, sat calmly on the spot, took his own move, and looked into Yuan's eyes calmly.

Deep in the dark brown eyes, there is nothingness.

"There are so many people who spend their whole lives chasing the meaning of life but fail to find it. Why is Mr. Yuan so obsessed with this?"

"Because... I don't want to live so numb."

There must be a meaning of existence for people to live.

But no matter what Yuan did, he couldn't find the meaning of his existence.

"But, what Mr. Yuan is doing now is not all meaningful? Whether it is as a 'scavenger' or as an intelligence provider."

Mr. Edogawa put the shogi on the board back to their original positions one by one, and he won the game.

"If Mr. Yuan regards the work that the world works so hard for as a numb daily routine, it will only make him disconnected from the world. Although I don't know what Mr. Yuan has experienced before, as far as the moment is concerned, if he chooses to continue living , or to enjoy the moment to the fullest.”

"Choose to live on?"

Yuan stared blankly at the re-arranged chessboard in front of him.

Repeating this sentence, Yuan showed a fragile expression on his face that was about to cry.

It's a pity that he has no choice between life and death.

Ever since he was discovered to have the ability not to be harmed by any kind, he was taken away from his warm and comfortable home by a group of people and sent to a certain research institute in the deep mountains. Different deadly tests.

While living under the shadow of death every day, he also needs to practice gymnastics, guns/arms, and pharmacology with other children...

At that time, his abilities were not yet able to prevent time from acting on him.

Until one day, the research institute tried all physical methods and began to poison him.

Finally, after trying a dozen kinds of poisons one day, he was on the verge of death. After thinking that he would be relieved immediately, his abilities began to mutate.

From that day on, his time stayed at that moment, that year, he was only 21 years old.

Later, he was sent to the team named Hound as a "finished product".

Amidst all kinds of shady tasks, the shimmering light somewhere in his heart gradually extinguished.

A life that can only be active in the dark as a pawn, even the meaning of existence is given by others.

Gen looked up at the blue sky above his head without a trace of impurities. It was precisely because there was none that he wanted to have something that only belonged to him, about the person Gen Shinnosuke, the meaning of life.

"In that case, I suggest that Mr. Yuan stay here for a few more days."

As if he had fully understood what Minamoto was thinking, Mr. Edogawa suggested.

"A proper vacation may allow Mr. Yuan to regain some of the things he once lost while relaxing."

A cup of tea was placed on the table, and Mrs. Edogawa, who was holding the tea tray, smiled at Yuan who was looking at her.

"Although I'm just an ordinary housewife, I would like to take the liberty to say something about Mr. Yuan's troubles."

"please say."

"People who don't respect life will never understand the meaning of life."

After saying such a sentence, no matter how much turmoil this sentence created in Yuan's heart, Mrs. Edogawa nodded and smiled at her husband, then turned and left with a tea tray.
