Welcome to Otome Games

"A new day has begun, please cheer up on a happy day like your birthday, host!"

The sound of the system sounded along with the beeping of the alarm clock. The girl who buried her head in the quilt turned over. She freed one hand and fumbled to press the button of the alarm clock.

After half a minute passed like this, Erika poked out that golden head.She stared at the ceiling feebly, a rare black and blue appeared under her eyelids.

Happy you little cookie.

She couldn't sleep last night thinking about what might happen today.

Not to mention--

Erika, who had prepared herself psychologically, took a deep breath, stood up and took a few steps to the window, and opened the curtain with a swish.

Under the glare of the sun, Limei squatted in front of her window expressionlessly.He was about to knock on the window with his hand hanging, obviously struggling for a long time.

In any case, it was too strange to have a white hair of unknown gender by the window outside the girls' dormitory. Before being discovered, Erika opened the window and let Limei in.

"I'll be out of school today, you'd better stay here."

Li Mei frowned, his face was full of vigilance, and there was some warning in his voice: "Who are you seeing?"

So Erika simply said: "Su Nuo."

Almost the second after Su Nuo's name appeared, Limei changed his attitude towards Erika, and he volunteered: "Then I will go too."

Erika: "It will be discovered by others."

Li Mei crossed her arms and said solemnly, "I won't give you another chance to betray Mr. Su Nuo."

...why use it again?What do you curse masters have in your minds! ! !

Erika felt a pain in her temple, she turned around and stared into Limei's eyes: "I still have [-] photos like last time."

"..."

Limei sat down on the side of the bed very naturally. He picked up the game console Erika threw on the ground and looked up at her: "User name."

The movements are as proficient as if they have been rehearsed before.

Erika reasonably suspected that Limei's persistence at the beginning was simply to get her to tell about the five hundred photos.

After all, it is impossible for him not to know that the "going to see Su Nuo" she refers to is actually going to see the knotweed Yuren, and it is impossible for him not to know that Wutiaowu is always around the knotweed knot.

What to do, I suddenly feel a little bit at a loss.

[8:00a.m, Yokohama]

When Erika came to the Armed Detective Agency with the folder in her arms, the dilapidated door was still closed.She tried knocking on the door, but there was no response even after half a minute.

Could it be an accident?She remembers that when she watched the anime, it was often bombed here?That's not right, if it was blown up, the door shouldn't be intact.

Erika, who felt a little strange, frowned. She entered a state of alert, put her fingers on the doorknob, and was about to push the door to enter, when a voice not far behind stopped her.

"You're here, Atobe."

It was Kunikida's voice.

He glanced at the folder in Erika's hand: "Mr. Ranpo asked you to sort out the materials? Thanks for your hard work."

Kunikida Doppo's strides were long. He was wearing the light brown waistcoat he used to, and he stood beside Erika: "Give way a little."

Erika:?

Although she didn't understand what Kunikida Doppo meant, Erika obediently moved aside.

Wait, does the Armed Detective Agency have a unique way to open the door?

This kind of scene, which has not been seen in the animation, made Erika a little excited. She held the folder tightly, and her blue eyes were clear and bright.

As if feeling the fiery gaze on him, Kunikida Doppo was stunned for a moment, he was silent for a moment, and his expression suddenly became gloomy: "Maybe we need to step back a bit."

Erika: "?"

Erika: "Okay."

Almost at the same time as she took another step back, Kunikida Doppo kicked the door open.

The sound of drizzling water was accompanied by the sound of the iron bucket falling to the ground. Erika silently watched the water spreading to her feet, and then raised her head to look at Kunikida Doppo who stood in front of her.

His clothes seemed to be splashed wet.

Even though all she could see was the opponent's back, Erika could really feel the anger from Kunikida Doppo.

He pushed his glasses and suppressed his voice: "I made you laugh, Atobe."

Erika suddenly realized why Kunikida's expression had become gloomy just now.

It turned out to be because of embarrassment.

Accompanied by Kunikida's roar of "Tai-zai-!!", Erika saw a head protruding slowly from behind the desk at the innermost side.

"There will be retribution for disturbing Qingmeng, Kunikida-kun."

Osamu Dazai rubbed his ears complainingly, his iris-colored eyes were tired, and his black hair was messily curled.Contrary to Kunikida Doppo's properly ironed vest, Dazai Osamu's long brown trench coat is full of wrinkled creases - obviously, he spent the night here yesterday.

Not at all threatened by Kunikida's murderous intent, Osamu Dazai's eyes lit up when he saw Erika behind Kunikida, he raised his eyebrows and raised his bandaged hand: "Oh, good morning, Erika. You came a little earlier than I expected."

After saying this, he glanced at the water stains on the soles of his companion's shoes, and added: "This is for Kunikida-kun, and it has nothing to do with Erika."

When Osamu Dazai said this, he raised his chin proudly, the smile on his lips was more real than before, and his tail seemed to be wagging behind his back: "Then what is the reason for me to take revenge on Kunikida-kun? ? Ask me quickly."

Erika: "...why?"

Osamu Dazai raised a finger of course, and said decently: "Of course it's for retaliation for Kunikida-kun's interruption of my date with Erika last time."

Erika: Sorry, I shouldn't have asked.

The murderous aura on Kunikida's body is about to materialize!

"Where is Mr. Ranpo?" Erika did not follow Dazai Osamu's words this time, she put down the document in her hand and looked around.

Osamu Dazai had expected this a long time ago, probably because he was really sleepy, he stood there for 2 minutes, and then collapsed on the sofa next to him: "Mr. Oh back."

Kunikida Doppo still couldn't bear it, he grabbed Dazai's collar and shook it: "Cheer up, you bastard!!"

—Anyway, it is impossible for him to go out on missions alone today.

"I've tried my best, and I'll leave the rest to you, Kunikida."

"...Are you trying to fool me with this bitter drama again?!"

"No, I really worked hard, in my dream."

"boom--"

Erika blinked her eyes, her eyes moved away from Kunikida and Dazai, turned around, and finally landed on the face of the person behind her.

As Dazai Osamu said, Edogawa Ranpo was standing behind her.

The hat on his head was worn askew, the collar was unbuttoned, and a lavender tie was loosely tied.In the next second when Erika's gaze met, Edogawa Ranpo's beautiful green eyes moved.

He looked away awkwardly.

Although she felt a little strange, Erika handed him the document in her hand: "This is what you asked me to find last time. It took a long time, sorry."

"Ah, there is more." Erika raised the other hand that was holding the bag, "I saw someone selling puffs on the road, Mr. Ranpo hasn't eaten breakfast yet?"

The famous detective in front of him perked up visibly with the naked eye.

"For Puff's sake, I forgive you."

Actually not really angry at all.

Between folders and puffs, Edogawa Ranpo chose the latter without hesitation.

"It doesn't matter if Ranpo-san has any documents, I just want to find an excuse to meet Erika." This is the speech of Osamu Dazai, who is working hard to resist the education of Kunikida Doppo Ai.

Luanbu's smile froze, and he retorted without confidence: "No!"

"Really? I thought Ranpo-san was trying to make up for the regret of not being able to find Erika because he was lost alone."

"No! If I say no, there will be no!"

Is this some elementary-school-level conversation?

Edogawa hugged the puffs randomly, he puffed up his cheeks angrily, and finally became a little listless again.

People will always fight against cute creatures.

Including Erika.

"Mr. Ranpo is not that kind of person." Erika retorted.

After all, judging from the roaming chat records on the mobile phone, [Atobe Erika] is just an errand assistant for Edogawa Ranpo.

Hearing the unexpected words, Edogawa Ranpo's eyes briefly opened, and he turned his face away guiltily, so that Erika could not see his expression.

Then he made a face at Osamu Dazai where Erika couldn't see.

"Hey, Erika chose Ranpo-san between me and Ranpo-san." Osamu Dazai suddenly put on a straight face, "I'm very sad."

——Really, looking at your poor favorability, I thought we were strangers.

"Well, but having said that, today is Erika's birthday...why do you look at me like that? I just looked through the resumes of my subordinates carefully." Osamu Dazai's words successfully made the three people in the room Ren was stunned at the same time, "It's a pity, if Kunikida-kun didn't insist on pulling me out of the mission, I would be able to date Erika."

Erika feels the need to correct Osamu Dazai's definition of the word "dating".

Kunikida was the first to react from the stunned state. He straightened his clothes that were a little disheveled due to the big movement just now: "Happy birthday, Atobe."

Erika nodded slightly flattered: "Ah, thank you."

The clock on the wall moved half a frame, Erika glanced at the time, opened her lips and said, "Then I'll go first."

Kunikida Doppo nodded.

However, as soon as Erika took a step, her sleeve was suddenly pulled.

It is Edogawa Ranpo.

Under Erika's shocked gaze, Edogawa Ranpo opened his safe.

Colorful candies were poured over the table.

"I have saved it for a long time."

"Yes Yes?"

"They're all collector's editions! Even Dazai can't buy them!"

"Yeah, that's what it is!"

Erika couldn't help taking a step back because of the serious look in those green eyes.

Wait, what did he mean?

"birthday present."

The non-existent cat ears on his head drooped, and the voice was muffled.

As if he would regret it if he took one more look, Ranpo Edogawa took a lot of determination to move his eyes away from the candies on the table.

Sudden, all of a sudden, it becomes so precious.

Erika looked at the candies of different brands, and recalled the copy she used to conquer Edogawa Ranpo.

【Favourability 40%】

【"A famous detective has been waiting for you for so long."

The young man's brown beret was crooked, and it had been four or ten minutes since Edogawa wandered off.

He has been standing in this place, and when he gets tired from standing, he will squat down and curl up into a ball, so wronged that people will have the urge to poke him when he sees it.

The blond girl sighed helplessly: "Actually, it would be faster if Mr. Ranpo borrowed a mobile phone to call me."

"Well, I don't want it. Anyway, Erika will definitely come back to me—this is the result of super reasoning."

He didn't know what he thought of, and he narrowed his eyes like a proud cat in the sun, looking very happy.

"But, there will be no next time."

"Little Helper."】

...How on earth did she play BE?

Erika took a deep breath: "Thank you very much, but I only need to take one."

"Do you not like it?"

"No, that's not what I meant." Erika explained after thinking, "Because this seems to be very important to Mr. Ranpo, I don't want to see Mr. Ranpo lose his face."

The girl's gaze was very sincere, and the debris of the sun shivered into her eyes, making the water-colored irises more transparent.

This is the Erika that Edogawa Ranpo saw.

The young detective's ears turned red, he hesitated for a moment, and became more persistent: "No! I still have a lot!"

As if to prove his point, under Kunikida's watchful eye, he took out the data box with the word "Top Secret" written on it on the shelf.

Then another table fell with a clatter.

Osamu Dazai seized the opportunity: "Using public resources! Condemn him, righteous Kunikida-kun!"

Kunikida Doppo: "...shut up."

Osamu Dazai put a "double standard" label on his poor partner's forehead.

The excessive shock made Erika unable to organize the words of rejection for a while, and when she raised her head, Edogawa Ranpo had already closed her open eyes again.

He had his hips akimbo, and even the brows showed pride.

"So, don't worry about me!"

Erika pursed her lower lip.

Oops.

Why is he so cute? Woohoo.

As a result of being unable to resist the cute creatures, Erika walked out of the Armed Detective Agency at [-]:[-].She was carrying a small box, stuffed to the brim with sweets, delicious bars, and even red bean bread.

The system mocked mercilessly: "Those who didn't know thought you were going to wholesale snacks, host."

Erika: Just wait, what I think about Hui Su Nuo is how you want to laugh at me.

system:"……"

System: "Damn it, I'm just a little bit afraid of him! Just a little bit!"

The mobile phone in her pocket vibrated, Erika ignored the system's words, she freed one hand and pressed the screen to turn on.

It was Zenyuan Maki's message and asked her where to meet.

Erika recalled the amusement park buffet appointment with Yuzu Yujin a few days ago, and edited the news with one hand with difficulty.

However, when she clicked to send, someone knocked on her shoulder, and her mobile phone flew out without holding it tightly.

It was a man in a suit who was in a hurry, and he ran away quickly after saying sorry to her.

Erika picked up the phone on the ground.

Fortunately, at least the screen is not cracked.

Erika breathed a sigh of relief.

System: "I think I can laugh again."

Erika:?

System: "Look at your message interface, host."

Erika, who didn't understand what the system was talking about, opened the interface that hadn't been edited just now in confusion.

Wait, why did the send succeed?

No, no, that's not the point.

Erika's brain trembled.

Is that [mass] sign serious? ? ?
