cat blues

Chapter 23

Edogawa Ranpo feels that he is a winner in life. Before, Fukuzawa Yukichi chose a job that he wanted to shelter from the wind and rain, and later, there was a big cat who can do all kinds of housework to make various desserts for him and feed him, and he also saved all the things that need to be done by himself. Worrying chores.The fieldwork in hand can still be handed over to Oda Sakunosuke and Nakahara Chuya who was pulled out by him and called "exercise". This kind of life is simply too comfortable.

Zhong Ye, who is becoming more and more healthy, naturally prefers to go out for a run than sitting in the study and reading books honestly. It's not that he can't learn or doesn't study well. In just two months, I have already tutored to the point where I can graduate from elementary school. The only thing that is still missing is history and civics.

However, there is no rush for these two. Chuya Zhongya's morality is high enough for civics classes and so on, so there is no need to worry about them at all, and history classes can be taken slowly.Fukuzawa Yukichi was considering whether to send the child to the last year of elementary school after the beginning of spring, or to wait another year until the child had no problems at all before going directly to middle school.

After discussing with a few people, Chuya Nakahara decided to go directly to middle school in another year. Mr. Ranpo also said that elementary school students are too noisy and super annoying.Moreover, Zhong Ye has a special status. He has just come out of the slums and is just getting used to his body. Instead of wasting time with a group of noisy little ghosts, he might as well see the world outside and wait until next year to go to school.

Although everyone thinks that Ranpo Edogawa would say such things, it is very possible that he hopes to order Nakahara Chuya to run errands for him, but his words do have some truth.Fukuzawa Yukichi had a serious discussion with Nakahara Zhongya, and he found a way to help him get a certificate of school status, and planned to send him to school next year.

As for Oda Sakunosuke, although he is still a teenager, everyone can clearly feel that this kid is definitely not suitable for school, and it is impossible to adapt to campus life anymore.Fukuzawa Yukichi himself is not from an orthodox academy. Rather than forcing others to do inappropriate things, he prefers to see the boy grow up steadily, so he formally made him the second member of the detective agency as promised at the beginning. The staff took it down.

Fortunately, although Oda Sakunosuke does not go to school, he is usually diligent in both work and self-study, which makes Fukuzawa Yukichi even more at ease.

With the blooming of the cold cherry blossoms on both sides of the Tsurumi River, which has been treated more and more cleanly in recent years, March quietly entered the middle of the month.The dark tunnel in front of me couldn't see the end at a glance. Fukuzawa Yukichi stood at the entrance of the tunnel, and the sun shone from behind him, casting his shadow in the depths of the tunnel. Behind him stood Edokawa Ranpo, Oda Sakunosuke and Nakahara Chuya.

"Is this right here?" Fukuzawa Yukichi asked with some uncertainty.

"It must be here." Edogawa pushed the glasses on his face in disorder, "Go, haven't we been busy for so long just to find Mr. Natsume Soseki?"

On the side, Oda Sakunosuke handed over a very high-grade cane in his hand. This was discovered when they were investigating Natsume Soseki's whereabouts. It was probably dropped by the other party on purpose.

Fukuzawa Yukichi took a deep breath, picked up the cane, mustered up his courage as if he was about to step into the battlefield, and walked into the underground tunnel.

"As long as Mr. Fukuzawa can pass Mr. Natsume's test, you should be able to obtain a license for opening a supernatural power?" Nakaya sat cross-legged on the rubble beside him, and he asked curiously.

"It's not that easy, but it's okay, after all, Ranpo-sama is an omnipotent genius!" Edogawa Ranpo raised his head tremblingly, "Ranpo-sama will help Mr. Fukuzawa!"

"I'll help too." Zhong also quickly followed up.

Although Oda Sakunosuke didn't say anything, both of them could see that as long as there was a need, he would definitely go up to help.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, Zhongye, quickly give me the bento prepared by Mr. Yuji." Ranbu turned his eyes, and then shouted at Zhongyuan Zhongye, "Master Ranbu is hungry, I want to eat convenient!"

"Obviously it's only 09:30, eat now and wait until noon what are you going to eat!" Zhong also complained, but still opened the tightly packed furoshiki at hand, "Here, this is Mr. Yukichi Don’t eat too much of the thick snacks prepared for you, or I’ll really ask Mr. Yukichi to control your sugar intake when I go back!”

"Slightly slightly." Edogawa Ranpo grimaced at him indifferently, grabbed the small package wrapped in oiled paper, and ran away triumphantly.

In the snack bag is the cherry cake that was just made in the morning. In order to meet the occasion, Yukichi cat really put cherry blossom petals on it. The cherry cake has two shapes: Domyoji Temple and Chomyoji Temple. Edogawa Ranpo picked up one From Daoming Temple, he stuffed it into his mouth, and suddenly a small flower floated out from behind, "It's delicious."

"Why does Mr. Ranpo like sweets so much?" The whole family only has Edogawa Ranpo as a sweetie, and the three of them really can't understand why Edogawa Ranpo is so addicted to sugar.

After Fukuzawa Yukichi and Natsume Soseki finished talking, when the two came out of the Wanxiang Hall of the underground tunnel, they saw three children at the entrance of the tunnel playing a game. The first one was reciting a poem by Xiaocang Hundred People, while the two people below were quick to grab the cards.

Although I have no interest in participating in it myself-after all, Edogawa Ranpo sees all this as transparent and has no interest in playing at all, but being a referee is still very interesting.

Fukuzawa Yukichi was dumbfounded for a moment, but Natsume Soseki who was standing beside him seemed quite happy, "Yes, you have raised them well."

"That's nothing." Fukuzawa Yukichi hastily rejected the compliment. He felt that these children were very good, and there was a Yukichi cat at home to take care of them, so he had nothing to do to deserve to be praised Call it an act of parenting.

Natsume Soseki glanced at him, but said in his heart, it is precisely because you have always set an example that these children can always stick to the right path.But he didn't say that, just smiled and said: "Flower cards are a good game, which can train their memory and thinking ability very well."

When they heard the movement of them coming out, both Oda Sakunosuke and Nakahara Nakahara also stopped. The two of them put away the flower cards that they had just played for a while, but Edogawa Ranpo, who was the referee, was a little bit embarrassed. He puffed his cheeks in dissatisfaction, "Obviously that old man wouldn't say anything."

"Random steps." Fukuzawa Yukichi said in a deep voice, and if the other party didn't say anything, it didn't mean that he could be impolite and rude.

Edogawa snorted in disorder, got up from his original position obediently, patted his butt and walked behind Fukuzawa Yukichi.

"In that case, I won't send you off, let's go back." Natsume Soseki put on his cane and said calmly, "By the way, when you come back next time, don't forget to bring me some appetizers."

After saying these rather witty words, Natsume Soseki laughed, then turned and walked back to the depths of the tunnel.

After Fukuzawa Yukichi nodded in agreement, he also left with the three teenagers.

"That old man who is super able to hide has other requests, what a trouble." Edogawa Ranpo waited until he was a little farther away, and then curled his lips a little unhappy.

"Walk around, don't be rude." Although they didn't get along for a long time, Fukuzawa Yukichi was already impressed by the other party's talent and wanted to become the other party's disciple.

However, Natsume Soseki still has two requirements for him to do. If he can do it, he will be considered a formal entry. Go directly to the Kanagawa Police Station to open up a new situation, and let Edogawa Ranpo get in touch with his father's previous connections.

More importantly, Natsume Soseki also gave Fukuzawa Yukichi another huge surprise. Natsume Soseki had already managed to get back the inheritance of Edogawa Ranpo's parents, and when they met, they would send the corresponding documents and bank insurance All the cabinet keys were handed over to him.

When Fukuzawa Yukichi was walking on the road, he was thinking about how to tell Edogawa Ranpo about it, but obviously, the insight of a famous detective made him see at a glance that Fukuzawa Yukichi probably had something with him. There are many things related to me, so I am so hesitant now.

"Okay, okay, if you have anything you want to say to the famous detective, just say it, the famous detective knows everything." Edogawa Ranpo simply stood still and said loudly with his hands on his hips.

Fukuzawa Yukichi was stunned for a moment, then looked around subconsciously. This is the outskirts of the city. After all, it is a place where half of the subway line has been dug. It is remote and uninhabited.

Nakahara also pulled Oda Sakunosuke winkingly and ran, "We're going to buy vegetables first, Mr. Yukichi is still waiting for us, take your time."

After finishing speaking, he took Oda who hadn't realized what happened and ran away in a hurry.

After all, it wasn't something that would be dangerous to him, and what the other party said was indeed reasonable, even if Chuu suddenly grabbed him and ran away, Oda Sakunosuke didn't make any struggle, and just followed Chuya and left.

At home, the big cat Yuji was bored studying the recipes of desserts. It went well when making Madeleine, Corulier and even Napoleon. It finally overturned when making macarons. The baked macarons It's always a little different from the photos, and I can't make natural and beautiful lace.Even if there is no problem with the taste, Ranpo likes it very much, to the point where he was punished by Fukuzawa Yukichi for eating too much.

But it just couldn't make the desired lace, which really made the big cat feel very unhappy.

At the same time, this has also caused the sweet fragrance of macarons to be exuded from Yujimao, who studies macarons every day in recent days.

It is true that Nakahara Nakahara told Sakunosuke Oda that he was going to go grocery shopping, because he has been studying the relationship between desserts recently, and the consumption of eggs, flour, almond powder and sugar at home is very large, and he is almost used up.

When the two of them returned home with big bags and small bags, they just saw Yuji Maomao sitting at the dining table, sucking cat pudding and looking at the passbook, feeling irritable and gloomy because of another failure. Dude, but in the eyes of the two who came back, they only thought it was cute, very cute.
