On when Echizen will reveal his vest

"Thank you Karubin, and thank you Ryoma-kun." Dazai Osamu took a deep breath on Karubin, and then handed Karubin to Ryoma.

Carubin: Oh shit, I'm just an object, right?

"It's nothing, it's very good." Ryoma rubbed Karubin's paw, and Karubin crawled into Ryoma's arms with a look of needing comfort.

"Dazai, you actually came out to drink during the break!" Kunikida walked in alone, followed by Edogawa.

"Come on, come on, the employees also need to rest, okay? Ranpo-san is here too, do you want a drink?" Osamu Dazai raised his glass and looked at the two members, then remembered that Kunikida Doppo also met Echizen yesterday Ryoma.

He raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Kunikida Doppo, "This is the wine Ryoma-kun invited me to drink."

Ryoma raised his eyebrows, but did not respond.

Although it's only been two days, Ryoma has already seen Osamu Dazai's bad taste.

On the other hand, Edogawa ran towards Ryoma with brisk steps, his face full of pride, "Hey, is what the famous detective said today true?"

Ryoma remembered his encounter with Yukimura-senpai, and nodded, with a smile in his eyes, "That's right."

"How can a famous detective make mistakes." Edogawa Ranpo said, looking at the cat in Ryoma's arms, he was surprised: "Why did you bring Karubin?"

"Meow." Carubin stretched out his claws towards Edogawa Luanbu, looking like he wanted to hug him.

Although Ryoma was surprised that Karubin rarely took the initiative to get close to someone, he was even more curious, "How do you know it's called Karubin?"

"Because I'm a detective. A detective will see through everything." Edogawa Ranpo took Karubin and said, "If it's the president, he should like Karubin very much."

Seeing Echizen Ryoma looking at him suspiciously, because he was his neighbor, Edogawa Ranpo explained once in a while: "Yes, I, Dazai Osamu, and Kunikida Doppo are members of the detective agency upstairs. .”

"Oh." Ryoma nodded, indicating that he understood.

No wonder he looks very familiar with the cafe staff.

Osamu Dazai saw the picture of Ryoma and Edogawa Ranpo talking happily, and suddenly wondered how the two of them knew each other.

"Ryoma-kun, do you know him?" Osamu Dazai pointed to Kunikida Doppo and looked at Ryoma and asked.

Kunikida Doppo adjusted his glasses, nodded to Ryoma, "Hello, we meet again."

"???" Long Ma looked at the steady and tall man in front of him, hesitated for two seconds, "Who are you?"

Hearing the sound, Edogawa Ranpo raised his head from Rua Karubin, glanced at Kunikida Doppo's instantly petrified face, and curled his lips.

Hey, it turns out that it is so difficult for children to remember a person.

"Don't you know me?" Kunikida Doppo asked seriously.

If he remembered correctly, they obviously met yesterday.

"Eh?!" Dazai Osamu looked at Echizen Ryoma, then at Edogawa Ranpo, and said with wide eyes, "It's fine if Ryoma-kun forgets Kunikida-kun, after all, even someone as special as me will forget. But why? Will you remember Ranpo-san?"

Special, probably referring to the bandages all over his body.

"Dazai, do you mean that I am ordinary?" Kunikida Doppo looked at Dazai for a moment.

"Ah, it's probably because of the neighbors." Edogawa Ranpo raised Karubin and explained, "Even Karubin knows me, right?"

"Meow!"

"Probably so." Ryoma nodded in agreement.

"So it's because Ranpo-san is a neighbor, someone who must be remembered." Osamu Dazai blinked his eyes, and suddenly realized, "But it feels great to let the cat remember me!"

As he spoke, he looked at Ranbu-sang, who was happily sucking cats, with resentment on his face, "I'm really envious."

And the envied Edogawa Ranpo just wanted to find a chance to show Karubin to the president. The president likes cats the most.

So I only have the president in my heart, right?

On the other hand, Kunikida Doppo introduced himself very seriously, and Ryoma also nodded seriously.

"remembered."

As he spoke, he continued to drink his soda quietly.

"Echizen, be careful when you go out these days." Edogawa Ranpo ignored Dazai Osamu's obstruction, returned Carubin to Ryoma, and said seriously.

"Huh?" Ryoma looked up at Edogawa Ranpo, "What will happen?"

"Hey, the famous detective is just a kind reminder." Edogawa Ranpo said with a smile, as if the serious appearance just now was just an illusion.

"Is Ranpo-san worried about the recent gang fight incident?" Dazai Osamu stroked his chin and asked clearly.

When Ryoma heard about the gang fight, he thought of the bank robbery he saw yesterday.

"Speaking of which, a new gangster came to Yokohama recently, eager to reclaim the territory. But Mafia probably won't allow this to happen." Kunikida Doppo explained.

"But the more difficult thing is that there is a person with supernatural abilities in this gang." Osamu Dazai said calmly.

"Extraordinary power?" Ryoma looked at Osamu Dazai.

Ability?Like seeing something in a movie, why does it exist in real life?

"Hey, it's the magic I told Ryoma-kun yesterday." Osamu Dazai leaned in front of Ryoma, looked directly into those amber eyes, and said with a smile, "Yo, doesn't Ryoma-kun believe me?"

"Cut." Long Ma snorted, "It doesn't matter."

For things like supernatural powers, seeing is believing.

"Okay, it's time to go back."

Kunikida Doppo urged, and since he couldn't say much about supernatural powers, he could only kindly remind the kid, "Although Dazai doesn't have to listen to what Dazai says, you must listen to Ranpo-san!"

"Hi, hi." Ryoma nodded obediently, whether to remember or not is another matter.

"Ah, are you going back so soon? I really don't want to go to work."

Osamu Dazai, who was dragged away by the collar by Kunikida Doppo, complained, then shook his hand at Ryoma, "Remember me next time."

Ryoma looked helplessly at this strange Mr. Dazai, and nodded.

"Hey, Echizen, Karubin, see you tonight."

After taking the last sip of his drink in disorder, Edogawa felt much happier, he said while pulling Karubin's paw.

"See you tonight." Ryoma picked up Karubin's other paw and waved.

"Let's go, Ryoma." Echizen Nanako looked at Ryoma who was sitting by the window after finishing her work.

The boy rested his face on one hand and looked out through the window, as if in a daze.

"Well, good." Ryoma nodded after hearing the voice.

"Why do you feel out of your mind?" Nanako looked at the young man who was walking on the road but always felt absent-minded.

For some reason, Ryoma always felt a little flustered after saying those words at the detective agency, as if some emotion was about to burst out.

Could it be that he is afraid?

Long Ma pressed his heart slightly, and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, sister."

"Is it because of what Mr. Dazai and the others said?" Nanako looked at Ryoma, a little worried.

She always felt that Ryoma was very powerful, but Ryoma was only a 13-year-old boy, and he could even be called a child.

Even she would be afraid, let alone a 13-year-old child.

"Maybe, sister, you go up first, I want to play tennis here for a while." After reaching the apartment, Ryoma said.

Nanako nodded and carried Carubin into the apartment.

The sound of "bang bang" sounded, and the tennis balls fell to the ground along the wall one by one.

Don't think about anything, just focus on the tennis ball in front of you.

Ryoma stared at the yellow ball in his hand, then threw it and hit the wall.

"call."

Take out a can of cold "Ponta" from the vending machine and drink it, probably the happiest moment after playing tennis.

Throwing the finished soda can into the trash can, Ryoma turned and walked towards the apartment.

After eating, Cai Caizi cleaned up the dishes and got up to go back to her place of residence.

"Sister." Holding the tennis ball in his hand, Ryoma looked at Nanako standing at the door with firm eyes, "I'll see you off."

"But is it really okay for Ryoma to come back alone at night?" Nanako asked worriedly, smoothing her hair that fell by her ear.

She has walked this road several times, so it can be said that she is not familiar with it.But Ryoma is a solid road idiot.

"Ah, I remember this path." Ryoma stood up, put on his shoes, looked at Nanako, "Let's go."

After getting lost once, he probably has the route memorized.

"It always feels like Ryoma has grown up." Under the streetlight, the figures of the two were stretched slender, even a little strange.

"Madamadadane." Ryoma snorted, standing downstairs where Nanako lived.

"Go back quickly." Nanako waved her hand.

"Rest early." Ryoma waved his hand and returned to the original road, his figure slowly disappeared from Nanako's eyes.

After watching Ryoma walk away, Nanako got up and walked into the house.

Edogawa Ranpo, who came home from get off work, hadn't opened his door when he saw Karubin, the cat from Echizen's house, open the door and come out.

"It's so late, where is Echizen?" Edogawa picked up Karubin in a random step, and the blue eyes of the Himalayan cat stared at him, round and round like two glass beads, exactly like his owner.

"Meow."

"Are you worried about him? You've been out for a long time?" Edogawa squinted at Karubin, and then heard an explosion not far away.

Edogawa Ranbu hugged Karubin and walked quickly towards the window. In the flames brought by the explosion by the river in the distance, there were bursts of gunshots.

"Is it the nearest gangster?" Edogawa Ranpo murmured, and Karubin in his arms called out more urgently, as if feeling that his master was there.

"Don't worry, Echizen will be back." Edogawa Ranpo's eyes were dark, and he carried Carubin into his home, "Wait for him to pick you up in a while."

At the place where the explosion occurred, Ryoma hid in a dark alley, listening to the dense gunfire outside.

He said why he felt that there was no one on the way back, but he saw a group of men in black walking towards him unexpectedly, and Ryoma quickly hid in the alley, thus avoiding the bomb.

"Huh." Long Ma let out a breath, and looked into the depths of the alley, it was pitch black inside, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

I can only pray that this gang fight is resolved quickly.

"Little brother, do you know what's going on outside?" A man in a black coat came from the darkness. He had long black hair and a playful smile on the corner of his mouth.

"We're fighting." Long Ma replied, still holding the tennis ball tightly in his hand, as if this was the only way to calm him down, he turned his head to look at the man, persuading him, "Why don't you stay here first? "

This man is almost covered in black clothing, only his skin is ridiculously white, like a vampire, and his body looks very thin.

Ryoma had no doubts at all, if this man went out, he would easily die instantly.

"But if I don't go out, how can I play this scene?"

Amber eyes flashed in surprise, Ryoma looked at the man and smiled, taking a step closer to him.

Then he came out of the alley humming an unknown tune, and waved his hands, "Thank you for reminding me, little brother."

In the alley, there was only one yellowed lamp shining on the ground, and a figure dissipated and clustered together.

In the quiet alley, only the sound of the ball rolling to the ground was heard.
