The world's No.1 detective doll

The ferocious-looking monster became obedient in an instant. It stopped waving its claws and threatening to bark its teeth. It just let Yingzi grab the collar and lowered its huge head in despair.

"Name... I just... I want names..."

"Name? What name?"

"Reiko... Reiko... Book of Friends..."

"You're mistaken, I'm not Reiko." Natsume finally came to his senses and turned sideways, "I'm her grandson, Natsume Takashi."

"Grand... grandson?" The monster tilted his head in confusion, "Ling, Lingzi... what about..."

"My grandma... died."

The monster froze in place.

Yingzi listened to their conversation blankly, only feeling that her mind was blank and she couldn't understand anything.

What monster, what Reiko, what book of friends...

Didn't they come out to investigate the theft?

Could it be that Ranpo made her catch up with Natsume not because he wanted him to help her lead the way?

"Huh? Are you an idiot?" Luanbu seemed to see what she was thinking, his face was full of disgust, "I'm sorry for using a question sentence, you are an idiot!"

Afterwards, Ranbu ignored the people around him who were still talking, and looked at the monster, "Hey! That big-headed monster!"

"Gah...?"

The monster turned to look at Sakurako's shoulder as if hearing something.

"It's...it's me...is it me?"

"It's not you or who! Are there other big-headed monsters here?!"

"Big...big head...my...not big head..."

"..."

No, this is outrageous.

Wait, can this monster hear Ranpo too? !

"who are you talking to?"

The monster shook his head slowly, then raised the sleeve of his clothes and pointed the corner of the clothes at Yingzi's shoulder.

"With...and him..."

"he?"

Natsume looked in the direction pointed by the monster with some doubts, but he didn't see anything except a doll.

"Who is he?"

"Son of... light... son of light..."

Son of light?

Sakura had a meal.

Hongzi seems to be referring to Luanpo in the same way.

"Wan Xun, is this your name?"

"Ga...yes...yes...I...seek...wanxun..."

After the weird ritual ended, Yingzi saw a few fragmented characters sinking into the monster's body emitting a faint golden light, and when those words were put together, it was the word 'Wan Xun'.

"You... you... want to take... to find... to find... Huan... big... my lord..."

"Who is Master Huan?"

Natsume looked more patient than Sakurako, he gently frowned, his eyes were full of patience and peace.

But Yingzi couldn't care about so much anymore, the time Kunikida gave was short, and she didn't understand what they were talking about...

"Then, let's... I'll leave first, I want to go to the house where the lost item is found before dark to investigate."

"Ah good……"

"No...no..."

Natsume's response was interrupted by Wan Xun before she finished speaking, it stretched out "" anxiously, and grabbed Yingzi's wrist.

"Hey?"

"Hey! Big-headed monster! Let go of idiot Sakurako!"

"No...no...ok...Master Huan, Mr. Huan...you...you need, Mr. Huan..."

"Do we need Master Huan?"

"Son of light... light... and... god... god... relatives..."

Wan Xun, who was already stuttering, was even more speechless because of his impatience.

Yingzi raised her head, seeing that Wan Xun was about to shake off its head in a hurry, and hurriedly raised her head to stop him from continuing.

"Don't worry, I'll go with you."

"You guys are really not a bit wary..."

"I..." Sakura was at a loss for words for a moment.

She's just not good at rejecting people.

"Master Huan" at Wanxunkou lived on the top of the mountain not far away. Although this height was nothing to Yingzi, Natsume behind her was exhausted and began to hold on to the trunk of a tree beside her out of breath.

"Hmph, Natsume, do you need me to take you up there?"

"Cat, cat talking?!"

Sakura turned her head in shock to look at the chubby cat at Natsume's feet, her feet became unsteady and she almost fell into the nearby grass.

"Ah, this... this is Teacher Cat..."

Cat teacher?

"This fat cat is also a monster."

"Hey! Who do you call a fat cat!"

"This detective is right~ Not only is your current body a fat cat, your original body must have been so round~"

"You...you...meow—"

Natsume quickly grabbed the cat teacher who was about to rush over, with a panicked expression.

"Cat teacher!"

"Natsume! Let me go! I'm going to tear this guy with the same voice as you!"

"Hi~ Are you annoyed by being told by this detective?"

"Ow—!"

Natsume, who was the only one present who couldn't hear Ranpo's words, was a little dazed.

Yingzi held Ranbu in her arms, and then blinked thoughtfully.

"Natsume-kun, ordinary people... can't see youkai?"

"Huh? Ah...it seems to be..."

Ordinary people can't see random steps either...

So could it be that the supernatural beings have the ability to see monsters?

wrong.

Ranbu is not a supernatural being.

Or... Ranpo is actually a monster? !

Sakurako was shocked.

Everyone can't see Ranpo because he turned into a monster? !

"The word idiot can no longer describe you..."

Looking at Yingzi's expression of "strange knowledge has increased", Ranbu knew that she was thinking about something weird and unreasonable again.

Hey?

No, isn't it...

"Master Huan... Master Huan... is... in... here..."

Unexpectedly, Wan Xunkou's "Lord Huan" is not the beautiful and sexy glamorous banshee or the indistinguishable handsome male demon as Yingzi imagined, but an old man with an unshaven beard holding a wine jar... …monster.

"Oh? It's Wan Xun, what treasure did you find and bring to this old man?"

"Master Huan...Huan...Master Huan...is...light...light..."

Before Wan Xun finished speaking, Huan's expression suddenly became a little serious. He gently put down the wine jar, and turned his gaze to the person behind Wan Xun.

"This breath...why is it so similar to Reiko?"

"Ling... Reiko's... grand... grandson..."

"grandson?"

Does Reiko have any grandchildren?

Huan seemed a little disappointed.

That's right, the lifespan of monsters is completely different from that of humans...

"Wait, what is this?!"

As if sensing something, Huan jumped up from the stone, and then approached Yingzi with small steps.

He circled around Yingzi several times, his nose kept sniffing like a canine.

"You..." Huan narrowed his eyes, "Did you eat fried shrimp today?"

"Ah, yes, yes..."

"..."

"Hey! Old guy! Tell me something useful!"

"Oh, it's Madara, I haven't seen you for so long, and you're still alive?"

"You bastard... hurry up and give me yours!"

"Hey hey..."

Before Huan could say anything, Mr. Cat rushed to the wine jar on the ground, buried his head, and started drinking.

"Really..."

Huan shook his head and turned his gaze back to Yingzi.

"It's unbelievable... It's actually... the last time it appeared was when I was young..."

"What happened?"

"God's daughter."

"Huh? God, God's daughter? But I..."

"No." Huan shook her head, "It's just a title, not what it means literally. A daughter of God refers to...a person who is favored by God."

"Then why is she called the daughter of God?"

"Because it is rumored that God has a child, two sons, and a daughter. The youngest daughter is well-behaved, docile, and most favored by God. At the same time, she also has the power of love, gentleness, and peace."

"There are many people favored by God, but only one is favored by him."

"Those who possess strong love, gentleness, and peace are qualified to be chosen by God."

"And you happen to be the chosen one."

"Is it a match between the Son of Light and the Daughter of God..."

Huan muttered something to himself, and he glanced thoughtfully at Luanbu in Yingzi's arms.

"Huh? Wait...is that so? This...is this too exaggerated? What kind of secret script is this?"

"..."

What the hell is this old man talking to himself...

"Even as a mountain god, I can't fully understand the bond between you, but what I can be sure of is..."

Huan lifted it up, and the second his fingertips touched Chaos Steps, bright red silk appeared in front of their eyes.

One end of the red thread is wrapped around Yingzi's right little finger, and the other end is wrapped around Ranbu's left little finger.

The slender red silk was ambiguously entangled on the fingers of the two people, and the way it was entwined reminded Yingzi of the star lights on the day of the campus festival inexplicably.

"So, this is similar to what Hongzi said... Then..." Yingzi paused, "Is what you said related to what happened to Mr. Ranpo?"

"maybe."

"perhaps?"

"Each of us can understand God's will."

"Then... do you know how to recover?"

"No..." The original words were suddenly choked in his throat, Huan smiled ambiguously, and stared fixedly at the red thread between them, "Maybe it's... holding, kissing, getting married, having a baby... Kind of? You’ll know if you try them one by one.”

"Hey hey?!"

Yingzi's eyes widened in panic, almost throwing Luanbu out of her arms.

"Just kidding, didn't your lady witch also say that? No one can touch the realm of the gods, even us who have demon power." Huan shook his head pretendingly, "Let it be Enough……"

"Just like the Son of Light who can always solve all kinds of bizarre cases."

"The answer... will be solved one day."
