"Akiko's mental state is close to collapse, and there is no way to use her supernatural power anymore. I reluctantly let her go to Your Excellency Fukuzawa. Maybe there is a chance to save her."

Mori Ogai's dark purple eyes shone with reason that was almost cold, and he murmured softly: "In exchange, Lord Fukuzawa should also compensate me with a useful ability user, this is fair, isn't it? Then, let's find a way to figure out Miss Alluka's abilities first..."

The look on Alice's face resembling Mori Ogai disappeared in a flash, and soon returned to normal. Like an ordinary spoiled little girl, she crossed her hips angrily: "Rin Taro is the most annoying! The promised company I came out to play, but I kept thinking about my own affairs, I hate Lin Taro the most!"

With that said, Alice turned and ran away.

"Uuuuuuuu...don't be angry, Alice-chan~ I'll treat you to dessert, okay~" Mori Ogai's serious expression didn't last for a minute, and it wavered again in a blink of an eye, chasing after Alice in a panic, Beg for forgiveness.

Today is still a day full of scenes, Dr. Mori.

At this time, in the bookstore.

Sitting in a wheelchair, Ke Xingzhi methodically directed Jonathan Klein to take off the bookstore's plaque and began cleaning.

"...So, why didn't you just let them stay and help, or at least let Ilmi save some money and hire a housekeeper?" Jonathan Klein held the mop in his right hand and pushed it with his free left hand. The gold-rimmed glasses that were about to slip off had a displeased expression on their face, "Before I entered Arkham, I was a university professor anyway. If you asked me to clean up for you, you would just watch on the sidelines. Don't you feel guilty?"

"Not at all, Klein." Ke Xingzhi leaned back lazily on the wheelchair, and said with a smile, "Don't get too involved! Aren't you just me? I will direct, you do it, and I will clean it myself Is there any difference? Besides, Alluka and Kurt are still children, don't you feel guilty about employing child labor or something?"

A morally condemning rhetorical question was thrown back by Ke Xingzhi.

Jonathan Klein sneered when he heard the words: "You are talking about hiring child labor, and you haven't paid them, so what kind of employment is it?"

Good guy, Ke Xingzhi called him an expert in his heart.

He pretended not to hear, and quickly returned to the previous topic with a natural demeanor: "...As for Ilmi, well, to get back the money in Ilmi's pocket, this kind of death operation, even I dare not challenge it Woolen cloth."

"Don't dare to challenge him, dare to challenge me?" Jonathan Klein showed death eyes, and his tone was dark, "What? Am I not as good as him?"

"You are different from Il fans. Didn't you promise to protect me?" Ke Xingzhi looked innocent, "I'm just a weak bookstore owner without any attack skills, how dare I challenge you? Besides, I also There is no need to challenge you..."

Ke Xingzhi dragged out the ending and winked at Jonathan Klein. Jonathan Klein suddenly felt something was wrong.

Ke Xingzhi lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "You are all my wings, and the status in my heart is equally important."

Jonathan Klein: Thank you for the invitation. I'm not touched, I don't even dare to move.

"...I think angels with broken wings are more beautiful." Jonathan Klein pointed.

Ke Xingzhi heard the deep meaning of Jonathan Klein's accusations against Sanghuai, but he deliberately interpreted it from another angle, holding his heart and looking sad: "Don't be overwhelmed, Klein, I don't want to lose any of you."

Threat, this is definitely a threat!

Jonathan Klein tried to fight as if nothing had happened: "...Maybe the wings want to fly solo?"

"Really?" Ke Xingzhi looked at Jonathan Klein tearfully, looking heartbroken and helpless, "But the wings can't fly without the angel, right?"

Threats, more blatant threats!

"No, it's just a joke." Jonathan Klein gave up struggling expressionlessly, "There's no need to show the same expression that made [Mermaid Princess] break the card. It's possible, but it's not necessary."

A little irritating.

Jonathan Klein silently added in his heart.

"Oh, oh, how could Klein miss me so much?" Ke Xingzhi put away his false tears instantly, cupped his cheeks with his hands, and looked a little shy, "Why would I be willing to let you break the card? Back then [Mermaid Princess] broke the card I am also very heartbroken~"

Jonathan Klein: Hehe, if your ending sound is not so rippling, maybe I really believe it...

... Believe me!Even if it really hurts, it's not because of a broken card, but because of being forced to load the memory of becoming a mermaid, right?

A dog is still your dog, you are a real dog.

Jonathan Klein cursed in his heart, didn't bother to pay attention to Ke Xingzhi, turned around and mopped the floor silently.

Ke Xingzhi quietly gave a yes sign to Jonathan Klein, and muttered softly to himself: "Speaking of which, it's quite interesting to play with yourself."

Jonathan Klein didn't even look back: "Only you find it interesting, thank you."

Here, the two dramatists who are essentially the same person have started their noisy daily routine of coming and going.

On the other side, Fukuzawa Yukichi carried Alluka on his back, and soon arrived at the downstairs of the Armed Detective Agency.

"Okay, uncle can let me down!" Alluka looked forward to it.

Fukuzawa Yukichi put Aluka down, and suddenly looked up vigilantly. The sky gradually darkened, and by the window on the fourth floor, under the light, two teenagers and girls of similar height seemed to be looking down. .

Fukuzawa Yukichi hugged the three kittens in his arms. He didn't know what he thought of, and he felt a little guilty for some reason: "Ranbu, you will understand, right?"

On the fourth floor, Armed Detective Agency.

Edogawa was lazily lying by the window, squinting his eyes, and puffed his cheeks in a low mood: "Hmph, why did the president come back late today? It turned out that he picked up other children and came back, heh heh ...Well, there are also cats... Huh? The president actually touched the cat? And brought it back?!"

Edogawa Ranpo suddenly straightened up, his green eyes slightly opened, revealing a look of surprise.

Yosano Akiko looked curiously at the side, but only saw a piece of darkness.

Although Yosano Akiko didn't quite understand how Edogawa Ranpo judged from the blurred shadows below that the president had picked up the child and brought the cat back, but this did not prevent her from being very concerned about this man who was rescued from Mori Ogai. My young man was full of admiration: "I can judge so much information without meeting the president. Is this the supernatural ability called 'super reasoning'? Mr. Ranpo is really amazing!"

Edogawa Ranpo squinted his eyes proudly: "This kind of thing can be seen at a glance! There is no need to activate special abilities!"

She and Yosano Akiko were very supportive and exclaimed: "As expected of Mr. Ranpo!"

At this time, the door of the detective agency was pushed open.

Holding three kittens in his arms, Fukuzawa Yukichi led Alluka in, "Ranbu, Akiko, I'm back."

The moment he saw Aluka, Edogawa Ranpo couldn't help but widen his squinting eyes slightly. He put on his glasses, raised his right hand high, and shouted: "Supernatural power—'super reasoning' !"

Fukuzawa Yukichi was hit by this humiliating scene, and his heart was filled with guilt, and he froze silently in place.

Aluka looked up and watched Edogawa Ranpo activate his non-existent supernatural power, his gray-blue eyes lit up instantly: "Eh? It's so interesting! Are you going to play some games?"

Edogawa Ranpo stared at Aluka next to Fukuzawa Yukichi: "You let the president touch the cat, right? Even if the president agreed to let you join, you are only a reserve member, Ranpo-sama I haven't accepted you yet!"

"let me see--"

"Eh? You're not alone? There's another person living in your body...Wow! Amazing!...She's a girl, a girl who's supposed to be a monster, but you have a great relationship with her ..."

"You ran away from home, and you have been locked in a dark place with no one to play with you... Woo, so pitiful..."

"Okay, Lord Ranpo reluctantly forgives the president for betraying you! But, remember, there will be no next time! Lord Ranpo forbids it!"

"...Wait, I understand! The so-called monster's ability is to realize wishes through equivalent exchange! Woohoo, that's great!...No, no, there must be something I haven't discovered yet, let me try again have a look……"

Aluka watched in amazement as Edogawa chant a long series of chant on his own, and couldn't help clapping his hands: "Wow! That's amazing! Do you know everything at a glance?"

Edogawa Ranpo was interrupted from thinking, and he was not angry. He squinted his eyes and smiled triumphantly: "Of course! Ranpo-sama is the No.1 detective in the world!"

"It's really amazing! As expected of the No.1 detective in the world!" Alluka looked up at Edogawa Ranpo adoringly, his gray-blue eyes sparkling.

"You are very discerning!" Edogawa Ranpo could naturally see that Alluka's compliment was from the bottom of his heart, he patted Alluka on the shoulder with satisfaction, and made a loud wish, "Listen, Ranpo-sama I want a bottle of orange-flavored bozi soda! No, I want two bottles!"

"Eh?" Alluka didn't seem to react, his eyes and mouth instantly turned into strange black holes.

Nanika appeared.

"I heard..." Nanika stretched out her hands, and two bottles of orange-flavored wave soda appeared out of thin air in her hands. She watched Edogawa's random steps, her black hole-like eyes curled up in laughter, "Here... ..."

"It's pretty cute when you smile..." Edogawa Ranpo couldn't help muttering, he took the two bottles of orange-flavored wave soda from Nanika, held them in his arms, and narrowed his eyes in satisfaction , "Then, in an exchange of equal value, Lord Ranpo reluctantly accepts you!"

"I like, I like you..." Nanika smiled at Edogawa, her black hole-like eyes and mouth slowly disappeared.

Aluka opened his gray-blue eyes, looked up at Edogawa Ranpo, and said earnestly, "Thank you."

"Hmph, Lord Ranpo is just looking at it for the sake of Bozi soda..."

"...Eh, by the way, what's your name?" Edogawa scratched his head in disorder.

"Eh?" Alluka's expression froze for a moment, his round eyes widened with confusion, "Haven't I introduced myself yet?"

Yosano Akiko couldn't help laughing: "No, little sister, you've been watching Mr. Ranpo's reasoning show intently since you entered the door..."

Edogawa Ranpo interrupted Yosano Akiko and corrected him: "Yosano, you called me wrong! He is a boy!"

"Eh?" Yosano Akiko looked at the delicate and pink shrine maiden costume on Aluka's body, her eyes were confused, "Yes, is it a boy?"

Fukuzawa Yukichi on the side looked calm, as if he knew everything already, and no one noticed, his eyes were a little dull: What?It's actually a boy?

Alluka gave a thumbs up and showed a sweet smile: "That's right, Alluka is a boy, and Nanika is a girl!"

"Aluka, あるか (Is there anything)? Nanika, what か (what)?" Edogawa Ranpo murmured, his half-closed eyes opened again, "I understand!"

One is a life created as a sealed container, and the other is a monster that has no power but is bound by the container to be free.

so poor.Edogawa Ranpo thought to himself.

Both are so pitiful.

"Understand what?" Alluka asked curiously.

"Random steps!" Fukuzawa Yukichi suddenly felt bad.

Edogawa ranpo met Fukuzawa Yukichi's eyes, and instantly understood the meaning of "pay attention to your words" revealed in Fukuzawa Yukichi's eyes. He took off his glasses, squinted his eyes and moaned: "Hmph, Got it, got it! Ranpo-sama is not a child anymore!"

Fukuzawa Yukichi subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Edogawa Ranbu stretched out his hand and grabbed Alluka's braids, and comforted Alluka in his unique way: "Hey, children don't need to worry about these messy things, just leave them to adults! Anyway, For the sake of inviting Mr. Ranpo to drink wave soda, Mr. Ranpo will cover you!"

The author has something to say: Woohoo, I always like random steps!
