cat blues

Black cat Yukichi has recently become obsessed with making dim sum. A cooking magazine he bought recently introduced various methods of making Japanese dim sum.

It is very clear about the taste of the serious samurai who lives with him. This gentleman prefers the taste of matcha. He likes to eat light and salty food. He doesn't like too strong taste. He prefers the ingredients themselves rather than seasoning smell.

For this reason, Black Cat Yukichi has made a lot of matcha-flavored wagashi, from matcha-flavored meatballs to matcha-flavored raw Yatsuhashi to matcha yokan, and it has made several servings.

After all, it is the first time to make dim sum, especially because of the bitter matcha powder - Yujimao has never tasted matcha, but it said on TV that this is very bitter - so in order to neutralize For this bitter taste, he specially added a lot of sugar.

Seeing how hard Mr. Samurai is going out early and returning late every day, Yukichi the black cat also feels that although the sugar is a little too much, it may not meet the taste of Mr. Samurai, but he can be sure that he will be able to eat Recharge Mr. Samurai.

So the black cat got up from the quilt early in the morning, and put these elaborate snacks into small and light paper bags, making sure that Mr. Samurai can put the paper bags in his sleeve pocket without being seen , then nodded in satisfaction, and went to prepare breakfast for Mr. Samurai.

It's just that what it never expected was that the snacks it carefully prepared for Mr. Samurai did not enter Mr. Samurai's stomach, but entered the mouth of a young man with black hair and green eyes.

"Delicious!" Before Ranpo Edogawa smelled something nice in the sleeves of the serious-looking samurai standing in front of him, he waited until the other party took out the paper bag and handed it to him. After that, he was convinced that he had guessed correctly.

Open the paper bag, and inside are very delicate matcha dim sum, glutinous rice dumpling, raw Yatsuhashi and yokan, no matter which one it is, it looks super delicious, and at a glance, you can tell that it is definitely not bought in the store, but by yourself Handmade, there are even two toothpicks in the interlayer of the paper bag for easy handling, plus this traditional packing method...

Look at the meticulous samurai in front of him again, his clothes are neat from the feathers to the sandals underneath, not even a messy thread can be seen on the clothes, obviously they are carefully taken care of passed.

Such careful clothing, coupled with this fresh snack that can be felt delicious even just by looking at it, it seems that this gentleman has a very virtuous wife in his family, and the relationship with this gentleman must be very good, so it is Will make such kind gestures.

Edogawa Ranpo glanced at it to confirm the matter, but he didn't have time to talk about it at this time. At this time, eating snacks is more important.

Edogawa Ranpo unceremoniously picked up a toothpick and poked a dumpling into his mouth, "It's delicious, super delicious, uncle, your wife is super amazing."

"..." If he wasn't drinking water, Fukuzawa Yukichi thought he might be able to put on a water spray show. He coughed and said seriously, "I'm not married, so don't talk nonsense."

"Huh?" The other party's reaction was a bit unexpected, and Edogawa Ranpo was unbelievable for a moment, did he guess wrong?But the other party does appear to be well-cared for. This level of care is not something that a mere housekeeper can do. However, this person is an old-fashioned and upright gentleman at a glance, and it is absolutely impossible for him to be an old man. People, if you really have a partner, it will definitely be a wife...

Edogawa Ranpo suddenly became interested in the man in front of him. This was the first man he couldn't see through at a glance since he came to Yokohama. He ate the snack in his hand in a few bites, commanding the man in front of him The man said, "Uncle, since it's all agreed, take me to eat quickly, you can't break your promise."

"...I won't break my promise." Fukuzawa Yukichi was a bit overwhelmed, but when he saw the young man in front of him rarely calm down after eating the snack, he unconsciously felt a little sympathy for the young man.

Afterwards, the process of taking the boy to eat at the candy shop was really hard to describe. The boy named Edogawa Ranpo chattered endlessly along the way, which made Fukuzawa Yukichi think about how to deal with this noisy boy more than once. idea.

Later, after entering the dim sum shop, Fukuzawa Yukichi was tired of the boy's behavior even more, but maybe because the previous matcha dim sum had soothed his stomach to a considerable extent, so the boy only ordered three bowls of red bean rice cake soup, that's all. It is rude to eat only soup and red beans, and leave the rice cakes aside.

However, what he didn't know was that this was already a very appropriate behavior for a teenager.If it wasn't for the fact that the young man had eaten a wave of glutinous rice snacks that seemed inconspicuous but actually filled his belly, I'm afraid he would order eight bowls instead of three bowls now.

However, he didn't know that this was just the beginning, but it was far from the end of their relationship.

What happened next could be regarded as flying like chickens and dogs, no, it would be too light to describe it as chicken and dogs jumping. For Fukuzawa Yukichi, it was the beginning of a disaster.

And the only self-help he could barely do was to call his home and tell the black cat at home that he would return very late and tell it not to wait for him.

Edogawa Ranpo was very curious about what kind of person would be on the other end of the phone, but now he is in a state of full resistance to the world, even if he is very curious about this matter, he does not want to communicate with the person he is receiving ask out.

Although it is a curious thing, it is not something that needs to be remembered by oneself.This world is so unreasonable, full of malice towards oneself.

Edogawa Ranpo, who was in his early 14s, was teetering on the edge of the cliff of life, and then he was pulled back by Fukuzawa Yukichi with all his strength.

Fukuzawa Yukichi, who is not good at words, fabricated what might be the only lie in his life-"You are a person with supernatural powers"-with all his strength, he maintained the boy's heart that might collapse at any time, and soothed the boy's heart like spring rain. soul.

It's just that the price is a bit huge.

Fukuzawa Yukichi looked at the young man who had been slapped by himself, and after crying hard for a while, he returned to a smiling face. He suddenly realized that he might never be able to get rid of this guy. I don't want to get rid of this boy.

This child is really just a child.

But if you go out for a trip, you have to take one more person back...Fukuzawa Yukichi felt a sense of guilt for no reason, even he himself didn't know what he was guilty of.Thinking of this, he still took out his mobile phone and called home, told the cat at home that he was going to take someone back, then took a taxi, and took Edogawa back with random steps.

So after Fukuzawa Yukichi led the boy into his house, the black cat was coming out of the kitchen with a plate, and when he saw the person and the boy behind him, he just nodded like an adult.

"Wait, wait a minute!?" Edogawa Ranpo, who suddenly saw such a scene, let out an unbelievable voice. The messy hair on his head was like a cat with a blown hair. He looked at this cat in disbelief. Big cats that walk on two hind legs, and look at the tray on the cat's front paws...

Edogawa Ranbu took out the black-rimmed glasses that Fukuzawa Yukichi gave him as a switch for "supernatural powers", carefully looked up and down the cat in front of him with his sharp green pupils, and finally came to the conclusion that in conclusion.

Yes, this cat was the one he guessed earlier, the one who took care of the uncle's daily life.

Satisfied with his curiosity, Ranpo Edogawa smelled the aroma on the plate in front of him. He stopped hesitating immediately and reached out to grab the thick egg yakiniku in front of him, but the black cat nimbly avoided it.

The black cat put the dinner plate on the table, walked up to Edogawa Ranpo and sniffed gently, then stretched out its claws to hook the other's hand, signaling him to come with him.

Although he was very reluctant to have dinner, it was also very interesting to follow the cat. Ranpo Edogawa bulged his cheeks childishly, but followed the black cat to the sink with a smile.

The black cat signaled Edogawa Ranpo to wash his hands first, and then walked back to the living room calmly.

Ranpo Edogawa found it very novel that the cat told him to wash his hands. He quickly washed his hands with soap, dried them with a towel, and ran back to the living room excitedly.

Under the warm and soft orange light, Fukuzawa Yukichi, who had also been cleaned, sat on a chair and waited for him, while the black cat who went to the kitchen to serve Yiwan red bean soup was also looking at him.The expressions of one person and one cat are a little strangely synchronized, they are all serious but tender.

"I'm starting!" The comforted young man sat down with satisfaction, clasped his hands together and said loudly.
