Sakurako's departure was unexpected by everyone in the detective agency, including the famous detective who claimed to be number one in the world.

Rather, the one who was most surprised and couldn't believe it was Luanbu.

The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was not the worried eyes of the girl or the peaceful sleeping face, but the dazzling sunlight coming in from the window to wake him up.

"...Idiot Sakurako?"

The hoarse call was not answered, Luanbu wanted to support his body with his arms, but just after moving his arms a few times, a tearing pain came from his shoulder, he took a sip of cold water, and physiological tears welled up out, moistening his emerald eyes.

The hour hand of the clock on the wall pointed to ten brightly. In this world, it is impossible for her not to be in the detective agency.

Ranbu's brain was running fast, and he listed all the reasons why Yingzi might not be here, but he rejected them one by one.

There's no way she wasn't here.

and so……

why?

"The detective is awake." The raised volume quickly brought a dry pain to the throat that hadn't been used for a long time, and he frowned in disorder, picked up the water glass on the side and drank the water in it, and then continued towards Shouted outside: "The famous detective is awake——!"

"Ah, Mr. Ranpo, you finally woke up!"

Dun Zai, who opened the door and entered, his eyes lit up when he saw Luanbu sitting on the bed, he ran out in surprise and called Xie Ye's name loudly, and then hurried back to rush to him.

"How is Mr. Ranpo feeling? If you are hungry, I can buy you some food."

"Where's idiot Sakura?"

Dun was taken aback, and then pretended to be nonchalant and tried to smile at Luanbu: "The dessert shop on the corner of the street has a new flavor of cake, Mr. Luanbu, do you want to try it?"

Ranbu finally realized that something was wrong. Although the long period of coma made his brain stunned for a while, he was able to quickly deduce this point without even using his brain.

Luanbu pursed his lips, ignoring his shoulders that had started to ooze blood and Dun's face of panic, pushed away the members who had already rushed to the door, and rushed into the president's office.

"President!"

The pain from the wound made him gasp, but Luanbu still gritted his teeth, swallowing back the pain that had come to his mouth.

"... Where's Sakura?"

Fukuzawa gently put his teacup on the table, and frowned when he saw the messed up Luanbu.

It was rare for him to see Luanbu look so out of control.

them……

"Sakura has resigned."

"Resign?"

Sakurako she... left?

Was it a preparation for going abroad with Miyasaka?

Ah, sure enough...

She really doesn't like him.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have taken advantage of the time when he was recovering and comatose, so anxious...to escape from him.

"I see."

Unexpectedly, Luanbu just turned around in silence, walked back to the hospital bed, and lay down.

Those emerald eyes looked at everyone in the medical room, but they seemed to lose any brilliance.

"Ah... Yosano-chan, help detective treat the wound, it seems to be split."

"Mr. Ranpo..."

Kunikida took a step forward with some worry, he opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to speak.

"It's okay to be a famous detective. After all, this detective is also the backbone of this detective agency. Without me, the entire detective agency will not be able to operate. According to your monkey-like reasoning ability, I'm afraid you can't even handle a single case." ?”

The calmer the chaos, the more worried the members were.

"It looks like... the detective has been in a coma for more than [-] hours. This little injury will not affect anything. After it is dealt with, stupid... Dun Jun, go and do the commission with the detective!"

"Mr. Ranpo..." Atsushi wanted to say something, but he fell silent under Naomi's restraining eyes, and just nodded, "Okay."

Ranpo looks the same as usual, but it seems completely different.

He was sitting on the window seat of the train, and the beautiful marbles of Bozi Soda were right in front of him, but he didn't give the small object half an inch of attention. Luanbu just watched the scenery outside the window fly by in silence, bit by bit. across his eyes.

"Mr. Ranpo, there is a stall selling crepes over there, do you want...to have a look?"

Luanbu glanced at the stall surrounded by the crowd, and shook his head.

"No."

"Then we... eh? No?"

Dun didn't expect to get a negative answer from the other party at all, and his movements froze for a while.

"The detective's injury hasn't healed yet, so I can't eat it, otherwise..."

Otherwise, it will be talked about for a long time by the idiot Sakurako.

what.

"……Let's go."

The dry feeling of not being able to make any sound came from the throat again, and he shook his head in disorder, and walked ahead on his own.

It was such a development that deduced all the truth in one minute, and in less than a day, Luanbu solved all the commissions accumulated in the past few days.

"Mr. Ranpo... really powerful."

Even though he had seen such abilities many times, Dun couldn't help but marvel at Chaos's brain.

Including the time of the round trip, the two of them only spent an hour. When they rushed back to the detective agency, the sky was slightly yellow.

After responding to everyone's concerns and greetings one by one.Ranbu took the exclusive seat he had been away for several months.

There was still a stack of papers on the table, and he rummaged through them in random steps. In the end, several papers were signed by the familiar name that he didn't want to say——Sakura Haruka.

The originally messy snacks on the table were neatly piled aside, fingers flicked lightly on the potato chip packaging bag, then tilted his head, and his cheek was pressed against the slightly cold table.

It's understandable to leave him.

After all, he is not as gentle, considerate, and reliable as those people, who can save her from danger time and time again.

He also doesn't think about others at all, and is even naive, willful, and childishly ridiculous.

So actually leaving him was the right choice, right?

After all, she simply... doesn't like him.

Lie on the table in disarray, drooping his head, pouted in aggrieved manner, not knowing what he was thinking.

I didn't even touch the bozi soda that I usually don't leave today.

"Mr. Ranpo... is he really alright?"

"It's not all right, is it?"

"If I didn't know what happened, I would have thought that Mr. Ranpo was someone pretending to be..."

"So why did things develop into what they are now? It's obviously going to a happy ending."

"Well... the day Sakura-chan left, I saw the president in the office staring at the marriage ceremony in a daze."

"Ah, Mr. President must be very disappointed."

"Will Mr. Ranpo cheer up if you buy him some rough snacks?"

"I'm afraid... No way, when I passed by a crepe stand today, Mr. Ranpo said that he didn't want to eat it."

"What, it's actually reached the point where thick dim sum doesn't feel like eating?!"

"Mr. Ranpo! Would you like strawberry ice cream?"

"……don't want."

"It's over, it's really over."

"This time it's possible..."

"That's strawberry ice cream, Mr. Ranpo can refuse even this?"

"Didn't Mr. Ranbu even drink wave soda? You said that the injury is still not healed, so you can't drink it..."

"Ah, it's what Sakura-chan always says."

"I've had enough!"

She and Yosano stood up abruptly, causing Naomi and the others at the table to tremble in fright.

"With, with Dr. Yosano?"

"Mother-in-law!"

The thin and tall young woman walked up to Luanbu in two steps at a time, raised her head and slapped the table fiercely, even bouncing up and down with Luanbu's head on the table.

"...?"

"Mr. Ranpo, tell me how you feel right now!"

"……what."

"Say it!"

Ranbu was taken aback by Yu Xie Ye's terrifying aura, he blinked, and whispered: "...It's very sad."

"Why are you sad!"

"...Because the idiot Sakurako resigned and left."

"Then do you know why Yingzi resigned and left?"

"...Don't you all know that she went abroad with that kid named Miyasaka?" Ranbu limp again and lay down on the table again, with his whole face buried in his arms, his voice muffled stuffy.

"Because...she doesn't like famous detectives."

"Huh? Mr. Ranpo doesn't know yet?"

"I thought Mr. Ranpo had guessed it long ago, using [super reasoning] or something..."

"[Super Reasoning] Can you even infer this kind of thing?"

"Didn't Mr. Ranpo use [Super Reasoning] to guess that you didn't take a shower the day before, Dun-jun~"

"Miss Nao-mi!"

"So that's why Mr. Ranpo is depressed..."

"What do you mean?"

Ranbu raised his head strangely, with a blank expression on his face that no one had ever seen before.

"Ah, Ranpo-san would show such an expression in the first place."

"Is it really the turn of Mr. Ranpo to ask us some questions one day?! Everyone knows this feeling, only Mr. Ranpo doesn't know... It's really wonderful!"

"Sure enough, the real Sherlock Holmes can't guess the mind of the girl I like." Yosano held his forehead and sighed helplessly. Become an idiot."

"This detective is not an idiot! Damn it! What are you talking about, tell this detective quickly!"

"We're talking..." Naomi intentionally elongated her voice, "Mr. Ranpo is an idiot! He's not the No. 1 detective in the world! You can't even deduce that Sakura-chan likes you!"

"what……?"

"What, what, even Sakura-chan likes you, Mr. Ranpo!"

"Oh my, the day Sakura-chan left, she cried very badly and was very sad downstairs at the detective agency."

Ranbu's pupils shrank suddenly, and he stood up abruptly.

'boom--'

But before he had time to leave, there was a loud noise from behind, the glass shattered, and a crow covered in black mist rushed in.

"Gah-"

Black feathers flew all over the room, but soon, the crow made no sound and landed straight on the ground. When I looked at it again, there were no crows, and there was only a pure black feather lying quietly on the floor. gem.

"what is this?"

Luanbu was taken aback, and the words that Alisa left before she left suddenly came to mind: 'Be careful of black crows'.

"Naomi-chan, don't touch it!"

That is not the name of some organization, nor is it the name of some supernatural power.

literally...

a crow.
