attack on rotten oranges

"Mr. Ranpo, who is the soul of the armed detective agency where supernatural beings gather, is just an ordinary person."

Xia Youjie opened his eyes suspiciously, looking at the gray-haired boy whose smile flickered in front of him.

Recalling the conversation just now, when the detective put on his glasses and confidently triggered the "extraordinary ability - [super reasoning]", and then reached a conclusion in an instant, Xia Youjie, who was considered a "stupid" by the other party, was sure that Shuhei Bunbu was joking .

"... Xiuping, you can't fool anyone like this." The black-haired boy said helplessly.

"Jie thinks I'm lying to you?" Wenbu Shuhei raised his eyebrows.

Ranpo Edogawa's status as an "ordinary person" is the last blow Shuhei Bunbu prepared for his friend who had almost entered a dead end.

So at this moment, the gray-haired boy is happy to see that after Xia Youjie has experienced the crushing of wisdom, he has become more and more convinced of the extraordinaryness of Mr. Ranpo.

After all, the firmer the cognition, the greater the sense of subversion after being overthrown.

Bunbu Shuhei thought maliciously.

"Then let's do an experiment?" The gray-haired boy controlled his expression so that the corners of his mouth would not rise too obviously.

Xia Youjie sized Wenbu Shuhei up and down with scrutiny, and the other party's certainty made him a little skeptical.

But after thinking about it, Shuhei Bunbu used to confuse others with a serious attitude. If he really believed in that outrageous conclusion, maybe the gray-haired boy would immediately show his originality and "friendly" help him treat his low blood pressure.

"Okay." He replied calmly, wanting to see what tricks Shuhei Bunbu can do.

……

So the teenagers climbed up to the roof of the office building across the street from the Armed Detective Agency in a noisy manner.

Looking from the area they were in, the conjurer's eyesight allowed them to clearly see through the glass window on the fourth floor how everyone in the Armed Detective Agency was working at a leisurely pace.

Xia Youjie noticed that only Edogawa was sitting leisurely on the side, not working.

The detective held a snack in his arms, with his feet crossed on the table.It was obviously a bit of disrespectful action, but when it was done by the green-eyed young man, there was a kind of laziness and comfort like a cat.

"Two spell spirits." Wenbu Shuhei poked Xia Youjie, "One whose spell power is too low to interfere with matter."

Xia Youjie understood as soon as he heard it: Whether it is a magician or an outsider with supernatural powers, they all have the ability to see the magic spirit.

According to Wenbu Shuhei, Xia Youjie believed that Edogawa Ranpo's supernatural ability was an illusion produced by the combined effect of the other party's extreme wisdom and observation ability, then neither would the curse spirit that would affect reality. observed by the opponent.

Bunbu Shuhei wanted to use this method to prove it to himself.

"What about the other one?" Xia Youjie asked.

"The other way is to bring this bag of candy to the window over there." Bunbu Shuhei dug out the candy he had prepared before going upstairs, which he had inquired about through Oda Sakunosuke, Edogawa Ranpo's preferred taste.

"What is this for?" Xia Youjie was confused.

"...so that I can safely enter the detective agency in the future." Wenbu Shuhei sighed "deeply".

The black-haired ball-headed boy looked at Shuhei Bunbube busy in a daze.And the other party's confidence made him doubt his own judgment again.

However, he was relieved by the candy prepared by Shuhei Bunbu—maybe it was Shuhei's reward for acting with him?

Thinking of the childish young detective, Xia Youjie thought that the other party might really cooperate with this joke.

"Okay." Xia Youjie struggled to recall, and then took out a spell spirit collected before entering the high school from his huge inventory of spell spirits.

Bunbu Shuhei raised his hand, and "slapped" a piece of incantation on the forehead of the innocent mantra, then he balled it up and threw it to the fourth floor of the old office building opposite.

Xia Youjie vaguely saw the mantra return to normal text.

"..." Xia Youjie looked at his curse spirit in a complicated heart, with the words "I, Bunbu Shuhei, forgive me" on his forehead, passed through the glass window, and fell straight to Edogawa Ranbu not far away.

***

Inside the Armed Detective Agency.

Atsushi Nakajima, who escaped from the orphanage with the help of an unknown bandage spirit and got a new job and a new senior, sorted the materials in his hand and put them on the bookshelf, sighing softly that today is still a calm day.

No Mafia who came to make trouble, no sudden government job, no sticky client... Even if Mr. Ranpo went out for a while, he came back soon.Everyone is busy with their own affairs.

Everything is peaceful.

Everything is calm.

everything is very...

"boom!"

The documents in Atsushi Nakajima's hand fell to the ground, and there was a scream with the loud noise, "This, this, what is this!"

The mantra spirit who had just passed through the glass, with a humanized life, stepped forward with seven legs of different lengths, walked around Edogawa Ranpo's chair, and walked towards the closed door in the agency.

The people who were attracted by Atsushi Nakajima's screams gathered together, prepared to attack but then relaxed, watching the cursed spirit with begging words on its forehead jumping around comically at the door of the president's office.

"Ah, it's Shuhei." Oda Sakunosuke said calmly, and stepped forward to help the curse spirit knock on the door.

As a result, everyone saw that the curse spirit, who had received Fukuzawa Yukichi's response, went straight through the door and entered the office.

"Is there... is there anything?" As ordinary people, the clerks Haruno Kirako and Tanizaki Naomi looked around nervously, but found nothing.

And Edogawa ran in the first place, jumped off the chair without making a sound, opened the window angrily, and looked across...

……

The curse spirit entered the Armed Detective Agency, causing a small-scale chaos, but Xia Youjie did not observe anything special in Edogawa Ranpo's actions.

This seemed to prove that the other party couldn't see the curse spirit, but it seemed like a drama after the other party and Bunbu Shuhei colluded.

until--

Edogawa opened the window randomly, looking directly at their hiding place as if he knew everything.

"Hiss—" Bunbu Shuhei shrank his head, "I'm going to be miserable."

He signaled Xia Youjie to release the curse spirit with the candy.

"I hope Mr. Ranpo is satisfied with my compensation."

Bunbu Shuhei should have put his hands together in prayer, but because he only has one right hand, he looks nondescript, and people call him "Amitabha".

Xia Youjie silently watched the second take-off of the mantra spirit.

The pupils of the black-haired boy constricted.

Because he found that the young man who received the candy apparently had a wandering gaze, and was not affected by the terrifying curse spirit in front of him at all!

……

Edogawa Ranpo saw a bag of candies floating over from the opposite building.

The folds of the packaging bag, the flow of air... and other details indicate that there should be other creatures in front of him now.

However, he thought that the commission was over, and he didn't need to bother about that idiot with weird bangs anymore, so he grabbed the candy, glanced at the opposite building in warning, and closed the window.

By the way, he also directed Kunikida Doppo to pull up the curtains.

"Ranbu." Fukuzawa Yukichi, who had just been visited by the curse spirit, opened the door and came out.Wenbu Shuhei used spells to change the text, described to him remotely the great help Edogawa Ranpo gave them, and expressed his gratitude.

"You did a good job." Fukuzawa Yukichi was pleased with the child he had watched grow up.

"Of course! I am the No.1 detective in the world!"

……

Bunbu Shuhei sat on the edge of the office building, with his back to the busy traffic below.

"Jie, sweets will make people fat, and it will also cause a series of diseases such as dental caries, abnormal blood sugar and blood lipids."

"I also hate sweetness because of some things in the past." He waved his hand casually.

"But if Jay heard me suddenly say one day that I wanted to destroy all sugar factories and dessert shops, Jay would think I was crazy."

Bunbu Shuhei made a joke: "And my sister, Satoru and Ranpo-sama will definitely join hands to destroy me."

Are you using sugar that poses a health threat as a metaphor for ordinary people who produce mana... Xia Youjie smiled wryly, but did not answer.

"Well, Jie is thinking about it slowly?" Wenbu Shuhei jumped off the edge of the building, "Didn't Jie already promise me to observe more?"

"Do not worry."

"I'll always support Jay."

When Xia Youjie heard the last word, even though his thoughts were confused and his mood was complicated, he couldn't help but take a deep look at Shuhei Bunbu, meaning——

you sure?

Shuhei had no intention of helping me at all!It's all a trick!

Xia Youjie roared in his heart.

Shuhei Bunbu, you outright liar!

The black-haired boy thought angrily, but compared to when he first arrived in Yokohama a day ago, his soul was much more relaxed...

***

On the second day after returning to the high school, Xia Youjie still hadn't sorted out the many troubles in his heart, but he welcomed Hui Yuanxiong and Qihai Jianren who had gone out to do tasks.

"Senior Xia You! This mission is really thrilling! If there were no warnings prohibiting entering the mountain, we might have entered the mountain without investigating the true level of the curse spirit!"

The black-haired girl with a black head still had scratches on her face, and while putting a gift in Xia Youjie's hand, she happily shared the mission process.

"People at the bottom of the mountain believe in mountain gods, so the level of the curse spirit is higher than we imagined, it is a first-level curse spirit." Jianren Qihai added calmly.

After receiving the warning from Bunbu Shuhei, the two second-level conjurers used the time bought by Bunbu Shuhei to understand the real difficulty of the task, and finally took a little risk to successfully cast off the curse.

Because of the beliefs of ordinary people, there is a threat to magicians... If it is achieved, then the plan of the upper echelons will go one step further.

Xia Youjie gritted his teeth secretly for the sake of his junior who was almost implicated by him.

"Jie, the person placed by Sister Shimizu in the upper floors found a mission that should have been sent to you." Wenbu Shuhei contacted him.

"After Huiyuan and Qihai completed the mission safely, this mission was suddenly postponed, but it is still ready to be arranged for you."

"The content has been sent to you."

"I suspect there is a ghost in it. If Jie is free, he can secretly go and have a look, so that he can make preparations."

***

On the night of the fourth day after sending Xia Youjie's mission message, Bunbu Shuhei received Xia Youjie's call for help and hurried to a hotel in Tokyo.

"Oh." Pushing open the door, Bunbu Shuhei whistled involuntarily.

By the moonlight, Shuhei Bunbube saw a pair of twin sisters sleeping on the left and right side of the black-haired boy who raised his head helplessly.

Two girls, skinny and scarred.

"This is Nanako and Mimiko." The black-haired boy said in a young voice, his tone full of pity.
