For Fukuzawa Yukichi, even though he was wearing Oda Sakunosuke's clothes, he didn't look like a young man at all. He was obviously only in his thirties, and there was no wrinkle on his face, but it just gave people a feeling Sophisticated feeling.

Especially the sand-colored windbreaker, when worn on Oda Sakunosuke, it can give Oda a certain feeling, but when worn on Fukuzawa Yukichi, it becomes a dean's character.

That is obviously a fairly loose windbreaker!

If the windbreaker had a spirit in the sky, I'm afraid it would be very unwilling.

But it’s too late to say these now, Fukuzawa Yukichi has already put on a light-colored shirt and trousers, and then put on a sand-colored windbreaker. Standing in front of the mirror, he unaccustomedly loosened his neck and let it go .It's not that he doesn't have a suit. In fact, in Yokohama, many places have very troublesome dress codes, especially some places opened by foreigners, who must wear a suit.

In the past, when protecting some important people, Fukuzawa Yukichi could only change into a suitable suit and go with them when the other party needed to go in and out.

But his suits were too serious, so he had to borrow a coat from Oda Sakuyuki, who was about the same height as him.

"Hmm... It still feels too serious, but I think it's even more strange for you to wear other clothes, Mr. Fukuzawa..." Edogawa sat cross-legged on the other side of the room, looking at Yu Fukuzawa who was frowning at the full-length mirror Ji, said with some helplessness, he had thought about changing Fukuzawa Yukichi into clothes that looked more youthful and trendy, but he gave up after thinking about the picture, forget it, forget it, or say goodbye.

Fukuzawa Yukichi also felt this way, but he couldn't imagine what it would be like to wear younger clothes, so he could only walk to the station in such younger clothes.

Christmas is approaching, and all parts of Japan plan to boost the economy during this period, so various activities are held in full swing.

Fujisawa City is located in the central part of Kanagawa Prefecture, adjacent to Yokohama, and it only takes half an hour by train from Yokohama.

Because during the Christmas period, the New Enoshima Aquarium in Fujisawa City will invite the very popular UMYM-色a combination among children to participate in the event, so in order to warm up the event in advance, several bookstores in Fujisawa City A warm-up activity was also carried out, and members of UMYM-色a were invited to the bookstore to carry out signing activities.

After all, they are idols, even if they are sub-supplied idols, what's more, the main book signing this time is not a photo book, but "UMYM-色a Undersea Restaurant Recipe Collection".

Well, although no one knows why this idol group, which combines special photography, cooking, singing and dancing, is so popular among children, what is released and sold is not a photobook but a recipe book, but if you can buy this recipe book, If you give it to Yukichi Maomao, the black cat will definitely jump up happily.

The only problem is that you need a ticket to enter the recipe book signing event, and because it is an idol group for sub-supplies, adults can only enter one at a time.

It's quite a strict rule.

Edogawa Ranpo knew about UMYM-色a's upcoming book, but what he didn't expect was the popularity of this combination.

This is really a magical combination of popularity that even Edogawa Ranpo and Dazai Osamu did not expect.The day Edogawa Ranpo noticed their books—that was the afternoon before the entire detective agency got together to discuss how to prepare gifts for Yukichi Nekomao, he made a special trip to a nearby bookstore before he got off work.

The unexpected happened just like that, Edogawa Luanpo took Dazai Osamu and asked him to lead him the way. He went to six or seven bookstores in a row, but he couldn't find the cookbook!

Such an outrageous thing is really beyond the expectation of these two people who can compete with the world's most sophisticated brains.

In the end, it was Edogawa Ranpo who gave full play to his "different abilities" and found a passer-by who had tickets but had no children and was not interested in participating in this kind of idol signing event. The other party bought the ticket for the signing.

To be reasonable, that passer-by was also very flustered. He was suddenly approached by two teenagers, and then he said that he was almost naked when he called. I was told that the two of them only wanted a ticket for the autograph session in their hands!

What the hell did I commit?

Passers-by almost ran away without tears.

Because the other party did not bring the ticket with them, they made an appointment to trade the tickets for the autograph session at the Whirlpool Cafe the next afternoon, and then let the unlucky passer-by brother go.

During the meeting that day, Edogawa ranbu looked at his mobile phone frequently to confirm whether the other party came or not.

Fortunately, the passer-by was really afraid of these two evildoers, so he rushed over before he got off work, and then hurried back to work. The only thing that comforted him was probably the delicious cake in the Whirlpool Cafe—— —He didn't even dare to ask for the ticket money for the signing event.

But in the final analysis, this is a gift from Mr. Ranpo to President Fukuzawa and Mr. Yukichi, and Osamu Dazai doesn't want to interfere, not to mention that Odasaku's proposal is also very interesting.

Fukuzawa Yukichi took the tram to the bookstore that was the venue of the signing. Obviously, he just walked into the bookstore. A large group of noisy children fell silent in an instant. Everyone looked at President Fukuzawa. Suddenly, unconsciously, he immediately stood up straight and closed his mouth tightly.

Not only these children, but even the parents who brought them followed suit unconsciously, and at the same time they couldn't help whispering.

"Which school's dean is this?"

"So majestic!"

"Serious than my father."

"Could it be that the dean is here to catch some child who violated the school rules?"

These words reached Fukuzawa Yukichi's ears exactly, and he was extremely embarrassed to hear them.As for Fukuzawa Yukichi, no matter what emotions he has in his heart, as long as they are intense emotions, it will only make his expression more serious.

So in an instant, the originally quiet venue turned into Moses Fenhai, and Fukuzawa Yukichi was directly given up a whole way in front of him.

This weird scene immediately stunned the staff who were in charge of maintaining order in the venue.It took a while for the staff to react. One of the male staff members hurried over and asked Fukuzawa Yukichi respectfully, "Sir, what work do you have in the bookstore?"

Fukuzawa Yukichi was silent for a while, and said in the more respectful and humble look of the other party: "I am here to participate in the signing event, and this is my ticket."

He said, and handed out his ticket.

"Okay, okay." After confirming that the tickets are correct, the staff wiped the cold sweat off their heads and brought them into the venue, "Please line up here to buy books. Line up at the back of the signing team corresponding to the idol."

"Okay, thank you very much." The staff member said very clearly, after Fukuzawa Yukichi thanked him, he walked towards the line of buying books.

Then there was a swipe of the floor, and the whole team was once again like Moses dividing the sea. A large group of people neatly made way for him to go straight to the counter.

Fukuzawa Yukichi's face froze slightly, and the staff on the side were also dumbfounded, but he had received special training anyway, so he said decisively, "Please follow me."

"No...it's nothing." Originally, I wanted to say that my behavior of jumping in line was not very good, but when I saw other children looking at me with shrunken faces, even the parents of the children looked at me with serious expressions. Looking ahead, he realized very clearly that it would be more difficult for them if he stayed here.

Fukuzawa Yukichi sighed inwardly, and quickly followed to the front. After buying the books, he was guided by the staff to the signing event.

"May I ask which member of the group you want to sign?" the staff asked carefully.

This Fukuzawa Yukichi still knew which idol the cat he had lived with for so long liked, even he had memorized it, not to mention that Edogawa Ranpo told himself several times very seriously before going out.

"Sesame..." Fukuzawa Yukichi said flatly.

The staff members were all in shock, looking at Yukichi Fukuzawa with an expression as if he was looking at a villain who might murder his family's favorite show. He subconsciously picked up the walkie-talkie, wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it.In the end, he could only bring people to the front of the team of Miss Sesame Velvet, the main C of UMYM-色a, with a little lack of energy.

For a moment, all the children looked at the man standing behind with strange eyes.

After a few minutes, finally stood up a trembling young man, as if he was about to cry at any moment, holding a peripheral weapon of UMYM-色a in ​​his hand, and said in a trembling voice: "I, we will definitely Take good care of UMYM-色a! Absolutely, I will never let a bad guy like you get close..."

Under Fukuzawa Yukichi's more and more majestic eyes, the boy finally couldn't help crying out loud.The boy's cry seemed to turn on a switch, and several children around him also cried.However, because of the man in front of them, none of them dared to cry too loudly, except for the first cry, the rest were just choked up.The parents watching were distressed, but they were afraid or uncomfortable to say anything to Fukuzawa Yukichi over there.

Fukuzawa Yukichi's heart now is not to ask, asking him just wants to draw his sword.

"I'm just here to participate in the signing..." Fukuzawa Yukichi explained to himself helplessly, he really didn't know why it happened like this.

In the end, it was the people from the bookstore who took him directly to the signing door of Miss Sesame Velvet, and the manager of the bookstore personally accompanied him in.

"Did something happen outside? I seem to hear the sound of a child crying." The girl who just opened the curtain and walked in, stood up and asked the manager of the bookstore, not knowing whether it should be considered cool or thick.

"This..." When the manager of the bookstore wanted to say something, Fukuzawa Yukichi took the lead and said, "It's because of me. Although I don't know why, the kids outside seem to think that I want to hurt you, so they stand up and want to hurt you." Stop me, but I don’t know why I started crying.”

"Hey, why is this happening?" Miss Sesame Velvet looked puzzled, as if she really couldn't see the reason why the children were scared to cry.

The manager of the bookstore almost thought that the handkerchief came out to wipe off the cold sweat, what's going on!

Fukuzawa Yukichi bowed slightly, took out the cooking book in his hand and handed it over, "My child can't go out for various reasons, he is your loyal fan, I hope to get your autograph as a gift for him A Christmas gift."

"You are too polite." Miss Sesame Velvet took the book with a serious face, "Don't worry, please tell that child, I will definitely remember him coming to the signing event."

"Thank you very much." Looking at the other party's serious smile, Fukuzawa Yukichi suddenly understood why Yukichi Maomao liked this combination so much.

"Hmm, may I ask what your child's name is?" Miss Sesame Velvet opened the pages of the book, took out a signature pen and began to write.

"Yukichi..." Fukuzawa Yukichi had an indescribably awkward feeling when he said this name.

"Okay..." Ms. Sesame Velvet wrote a short gift message as she spoke, and wrote "To Yukichi" on the back, and finally signed it, and then handed the book back to Fukuzawa Yukichi , with a big smile on his face and said, "Merry Christmas—"

"Thank you very much." Fukuzawa Yukichi thanked again, and then walked out of the bookstore feeling unaccustomed, but when he looked at the signed book in his hand again, the embarrassment just now was completely overwhelmed by him. Forget it to the back of your mind, Yukichi will definitely like this gift very much.

Thinking this way, he got on the tram and returned to Yokohama.
