Group Pet Career in Yokohama

"Those who stand in my way shall be cut."

The black-haired young man... or the boy, knelt on the ground with one knee, posing a handsome poss, the blade of the long knife in his hand stretched in the air like a dragon, and finally he said so coolly and handsomely.

"Mr. Ranpo!" Yosano Akiko became emotional when he saw Edogawa Ranpo surrounded by sharp blades.

"Don't act rashly, and Xie Ye." He reminded with a solemn expression.

Edogawa squinted his eyes randomly, and had already sent a signal. Although he also had a hunch about this situation, it still needed to be resolved... all he could do now was try to delay as much as possible.

"Don't do unnecessary things, Mr. Suehiro." The light-haired boy who caught Hill put Hill on the ground and closed his ears, "It's such a big commotion, the heartbeats of those present are too noisy, especially you The voice of supernatural powers."

His sense of hearing was very precious. The sound of iron rubbing was like the sound of the teacher's long fingernails scraping the blackboard in class a long time ago. It was very uncomfortable for him, whose hearing was hundreds of times sharper than ordinary people's.

"Zi la—" In the next second, the black-haired boy retracted the blade obediently.

Tiaoye Caiju's eyebrows twitched slightly, this was another torture.

Hill observed the two people calmly. The five senses of the people around him... No, the four senses are very sensitive, because he has never opened his eyes. Is it to make other senses more sensitive?Wanting to catch himself but not restraining himself, it seems that he is very confident in his own strength.

And that dull man over there is a pure force faction, does he act on instinct...

Judging from the clothes of these two people, they should belong to the military. Yoshito Sakai was sent by the military and police some time ago... However, Hill frowned. The people inside didn't realize that they were leaving, how did they know that they would appear here?

"Are you confused?" Tiaoye Caiju bowed slightly, leaned closer to Hill, his eyes still closed, "That guy from Sakai didn't succeed in doing anything well enough, and he made me stand by to respond...wouldn't it be enough if we had been dispatched a long time ago? As for why I knew you were here, I was quite lucky to say that I just read a Hong Kong black member who came back from shopping and was lucky to buy too much children's clothing, but he was not taught by his boss and just asked him to buy it again. set."

"I know that a kid came from Hong Kong not long ago, but I didn't return the men's clothes I bought. Who are they going to wear? Even if there is a slight possibility in the current situation, I don't want to let it go, so I went to the store to get the clothes. Suehiro-san over there looked around for a 'boy' wearing this suit, and he found you as expected, Ms. Hill."

"..." This so-called 'nearby' spans less than half of Yokohama, what a perverted observation ability it requires.

And read...is it mind reading?Even so, did you notice the clues just by the small details of buying clothes?

"Ah, I don't have such powerful things as mind reading. I just listen to people's heartbeat, breathing, and feel-body surface temperature.

It's all about deducing the prey's thoughts. "

"This level, in a sense, is much better than mind reading." Hill sincerely admired.

"Oh, thank you for the award." Tiao Ye Caiju said with a smile: "It's also great to keep the sound of heartbeat and breathing without disturbing others. I think we will definitely get along."

"You are 'hounds', right?" Edogawa Ranpo said suddenly: "The strongest special forces belonging to the military and police."

"Hound?" Yosano Akiko looked serious, it turned out to be a famous hound, but the hatchet was still thrown on the roof, and she was powerless to fight at all. She clenched her hands tightly, it would be great if the president was here.

Whether it's the military, the police or the mafia, for a child like Hill, it's just a swamp full of mud. The immature flowers that bloom in that kind of place will always be eroded and rotted. I have already learned from the past, right?Her eyes shed the pain of remembrance.

Seeing Hill is like seeing myself a few years ago, under the hands of that demon, so... must not let them take Hill away! Nor return Hill to Mori Ogai!

Mr. Ranpo...Mr. Ranpo must have a solution, and she did not act rashly for the time being. She looked at Edogawa Ranpo expectantly, and after receiving his vaguely comforting eyes, her heart gradually became firm again.

"That's right, in Xiasueguang Tiechang, the partner is Ye Caiju for the time being. Although we just joined, we..."

"No one asked you to introduce yourself!" And what does "for the time being" mean, and you didn't say anything, so why are you disgusted first?

Tiaoye Caiju held his forehead. Although he is a new partner and is in the running-in period, he can already predict that this stupid guy with no artistic cells will definitely make him hate him, very annoying! Very annoying now!

"...someone is approaching." Tiaoye Caiju listened with vigilant ears.

It appeared suddenly, what's going on, logically speaking, he should have noticed the sound of a person's heartbeat a long time ago, is it also a space-type supernatural being?

"Bang" is the sound of the crutch hitting the ground.

Hill looked over in surprise, it was Mr. Natsume!

"Boys, I can't let you take Hill away." Natsume Soseki said with a smile.

If the hound really snatched him away, that kid Mori Ogai would really cry, right?Moreover, the person who led Hill also needs to take responsibility. It is unreasonable to let a child be forced to stay in a place that he does not want to stay.

"Sir, it's up to you whether you take it or not with the military and police. We don't intend to do anything with irrelevant people. Please forgive me." Tiaoye Caiju also smiled shallowly and politely. He paused, "Of course if you insist on stopping If so, it is not an irrelevant person.”

"Hurry up, old man, I'm hungry, I just want to go back and eat red bean pancakes." Edogawa urged impatiently.

"...Ranpo-san, that's too rude." Yosano Akiko looked at Natsume Soseki apologetically.

"Haha, it's okay, it's because he's been blowing the wind here all day."

"Now is not the time to chat." Tiaoye Caiju pressed his palm on Hill's shoulder in case of an emergency.

"Indeed, I'm hungry too." Suehiro Tieshang pulled out the knife again, "

Need a hand? "He also wanted to go back quickly and eat boiled eggs with salt.

"Don't waste time."

Tiaoye Caiju smiled. Anyway, these few people couldn't stop them, so he directly used his supernatural power to take Miss Hill away.

As for Mr. Suehiro, just run back.

But the next moment, his contact phone rang suddenly, frowning, he turned on the phone.

It's Captain...

"Understood, Captain." He didn't know what was said there, he hung up the phone, looked at Suehiro Tiechang, with a somewhat unhappy expression, "Let's go, we are going to retreat."

"Oh." Suehiro Tiechang didn't have any objection, he retracted the knife, and came to him in an instant.

Only then did Hill see a three-petaled plum blossom-like pattern under the left corner of Mr. Suehiro's left eye.

"Miss Hill, I believe we will meet again soon." Tiaoye Caiju lifted the brim of his hat and nodded to Hill.

Without further entanglement, the two jumped together, stepped on the eaves and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

"That's amazing, Mr. Natsume." Although he doesn't understand what a hound is, he looks very powerful, and Mr. Natsume can actually make their boss take back the order.

"Well, there are still a few favors from the military and police." Natsume Soseki said humbly, leaning on a cane. We will talk about helping later, anyway, the man can last for a while, he squeezed his beard slowly .

"Ah-choo—" Edogawa rubbed his nose in random steps, "Get out of here quickly, it's cold and damp."

Mr. Natsume doesn’t only have a few favors with the government. Back then, even the “Performance Opening Permit” of the detective agency was easily obtained with just a few words. Other organizations have been fighting desperately for several years There must be a chance.

"Let's go to the bookstore to rest first," Natsume Soseki said with a smile, "There are refreshments prepared there."

"Ah, let's talk about it." Hill took off her backpack and took it out, "I have some desserts here, Brother Ranbu, let's eat some padding first."

"Oh!" Ranbu took it happily, tore open the package and ate it, and said: "Yo Xie Ye, you have to learn from Hill in the future, and bring a bag with delicious snacks in it... the best Bring an incubator for hot snacks just out of the oven, and a thermos cup for sweet soup. Well, it’s better to equip the members who came out with me.”

"..." Yosano Akiko twitched at the corners of his mouth, not knowing what to say in the face of such an unreasonable request, "Isn't it more convenient for Mr. Ranpo to carry it by himself?"

"Huh? You want a detective to do something like a schoolboy spring outing?"

Yosano Akiko: Doesn't it fit Mr. Ranpo's personality and habits?Of course, out of respect for Mr. Ranpo, she also slandered a few words in her heart.

Hill: ...I heard it, Brother Ranbu—elementary school students spring outing.

——Bookstore.

"The two of you will wait here for a while." Kan and Xie Ye were very interested in the medical books on the shelf, he smiled and said, "You can read the books here at will."

After that, he walked into the room, and Hill followed closely.

"Oh." Edogawa slumped on the cashier's table in disorder, putting some snacks into his mouth.

"Natsume

Sir, you already know that I will come to you today, right? Hill pursed his lips and complained unhappily.

"Haha, it's also good to play games occasionally as an appetizer before meeting, and you're enjoying it too."

This is a wonderful room. After closing the door, you will be in the same study room as the outside. The door has also disappeared. It is an independent supernatural space, but the space is not large.

"But what's the use?" Hill looked inexplicable, "Mr. Natsume also saw it? He has been turning into a cat and following us."

"If the players in the game didn't enter the scene, the trial wouldn't exist, right? How can you be sure that I'm not a danger to this city?"

"Haha." Natsume Soseki laughed loudly, "But Hill really didn't hurt this city."

"If there is a slight sign of danger and you have to pinch it to ensure the safety of this city, then it is better to destroy this fragile city as soon as possible... What I want to protect is not this kind of person who has no self-healing power things."

Hill stared blankly at Natsume Soseki. He didn't expect that this gentleman who devoted his whole life to urban construction would look at the city he had worked so hard to maintain. He was...unexpectedly open...

"If we really want to do this, we must first eliminate the source of danger in the city—the supernatural beings, but this will go against my original intention of protecting the city."

"Build a city where supernatural beings and ordinary people can coexist."

——Build a city where the strong and the weak can coexist.
