I'm surviving in a love game

Just because she was the one talking to...

His smile was too bright to the point of stinging, Hoshimiya Shiori pretended to look down at the phone to avoid his eyes, pursed her lips, and said as if she was out of words: "I'm sorry."

"At this time, there is no need to say sorry anymore!" Ranbu pointed out his index finger and said every word with a serious expression.

It just so happened that the donuts I just ordered had already been served, and they were spread on the table by the waiter. In the end, there was not enough space on the surface, so I had to build another layer on top, and randomly picked out a strawberry-flavored donut. He picked it up and handed it to Shiori Xinggong, "Don't be bitter, here, let's talk after eating the donuts."

The fried golden donuts are coated with a layer of white chocolate. Strawberry particles of different sizes are mixed in the coating, exuding a rich fragrance.

Seeing that Ranpo looked so serious, Hoshimiya Shiori had to finish the donuts on hand first, but Ranpo seemed to pinpoint the time when she was going to speak, and always handed over other snacks just right, Or drinks.

"Wait—" In the end, Shiori Hoshigong made a stop gesture, which was completely different from what he had imagined.

But this is indeed something that Edogawa Ranpo would do.

"Huh? Are you going to the comic shop?" He glanced at the time, "There is still time, let's go."

After she finished speaking, she got up, Xinggong Shizhi grabbed the hem of his cloak with quick eyes and hands, "Can you listen to me carefully, I'm not sorry this time."

"There are a lot of things I want to tell you..." Her fingers gripping the hem of his clothes tightened with increasing tension.

"There's really nothing I can do about you."

Ranpo sighed, with one hand on his hips, and looked down at Hoshimiya Shiori, from his perspective, he could only see her trembling eyelashes and her tightly pursed lips.

The famous detective who was judged to be childish by others put aside his childishness at this moment, and his words concealed a gentle tolerance, "Then go to the park, if there is an ice cream truck, please treat me to ice cream."

"I want to add three balls." He compared the number "three", and then the palm of his hand slid down along the gravity, and took her hand holding the corner of his clothes, "Then let's go—"

With a force in his hand, he pulled Xinggong Shiori up, and the corners of his lips raised involuntarily.

The noon sun was very strong, even though the two of them walked along the shade of the street shops, they still got a lot of sun. Halfway through the walk, Hoshimiya Shiori muttered a little discouraged, "Maybe there is no ice cream truck in the park?"

"There will be." Luanbu, who was walking in front, turned back and answered confidently, seeing Xinggong Shizhi's cheeks flushed red, after a few seconds of thinking.

"……Eh?!"

She exclaimed.

Suddenly there was an object above the head, the vision went dark, and the body automatically grabbed the object above the head.

Eh... this touch feels like clothes.

She pinched the corner of the clothes and looked at it, only to be sure that it was the little cape of Chaos Steps.

Luanbu took off his cloak to reveal his underwear shirt and black vest, "We're almost at the park." He didn't look back, he was sure that Hoshiomiya Shiori would follow behind him.

When I came to the park, perhaps because of the working day, there were not too many people, more elderly people who came out for a walk, and children who had not yet reached school age.

After the autumn wind blows, most of the leaves of the trees in the park are withered and yellow, and the bare trunks are exposed. At first glance, it will only feel bleak and deserted. In a deserted park, there is an ice cream truck parked in the middle.

"Look, I told you there will be." Luanbu said excitedly when he saw the ice cream truck at first sight.

She suspects that he may still have the power of prophecy.

But it was better than seeing him deflated.

The two went straight to the ice cream truck one after another, and then lined up obediently behind a group of children, and from time to time they were watched by each other with eyes of "ah, these two adults are so strange".

Luanbu whispered to Xinggong Shizhi: "Who said adults can't eat ice cream?"

Shiori Xinggong nodded, "There is no such rule, you can buy as much as you want in Ranbu later."

Hearing this, he snorted twice in satisfaction, "Then I won't be polite."

After buying ice cream, the two found a quieter place and sat down on the bench. Hoshimiya Shiori held a chocolate-flavored cone in her hand, but it wasn't hers, but ordered too much at random. I couldn't carry it by myself, so I had to ask her to help me.

"I've met Ranpo before, so you may have some memories of me, but don't doubt it, it's all true."

When it finally came time to be completely honest, she added: "There are other people who have had the same experience as you. All time and space have been merged."

"But you are still Hoshimiya Shiori." His lips were frozen red from the ice cream, "Then what do you want me to do?"

"Among the others are some guys who might threaten the existence of this world after knowing the truth, right?" After he finished speaking, he took another bite of the crispy cone.

"And the previous supernatural power incidents are likely to be done by those people, so you chose to show your cards to me in exchange for help."

The autumn wind blew by, and the warmth brought by the sun was far less than the chill in the wind. She folded the cloak of Chaos Step and put it on her knees, listening to him analyze his purpose in a calm tone.

It was completely seen through.

Xinggong Shizhi sighed secretly in her heart, and she asked back: "I know about Luanbu, so what is your choice?"

He didn't hesitate much, as if he already had the answer in his heart, "I will stand by your side."

"Okay, why are you so sad, the chocolate ice cream is yours." He unwrapped the wrapping paper wrapped around the cone and folded it several times, "Eat it quickly, or it will melt."

And when Shiori Xinggong was eating half of the ice cream, he heard Ranpo say again: "Open your hands."

She followed the instructions, and there was a thousand paper cranes that had just been folded in her palm.

"It's decided, let's go to the model shop later!" He also thought about it.

"There's not enough time, it's time to go to work." She put the thousand paper cranes into her pocket.

"Then go after get off work."

Just when the two were walking back, almost when they reached the downstairs of the detective agency, they happened to meet Dazai Osamu who came out of the coffee shop. He waved at the two of them and said, "Good afternoon, Miss Xinggong and Mr. Ranpo."

Ranpo nodded his head as a response, and Hoshimiya Shiori, whose attitude had softened a bit, replied after a "hmm": "Good afternoon, Dazai-kun."

"Miss Xinggong seems to be in a good mood." When Shiori Xinggong approached, Dazai put his hands in his pockets, his tone was casual, but seemed to mean something.

Xinggong Shiori glanced at the sand-colored windbreaker on him, her expression softened, and she changed the subject, "This dress suits you very well."
