030: Faith

Early on Saturday morning, Ise Hai came to meet at the gate of the detective agency.

The number of tickets he gave was sufficient, but some members did not follow this time due to work reasons.

The destination is Kusatsu Onsen in Gunma Prefecture, not far from Yokohama, and it is very convenient to drive.

President Fukuzawa drove a seven-seater SUV with a wide rear seat, and Ranpo Edogawa got into the rear as soon as he got in the car.Ms. Haruno, the secretary, was the co-pilot, followed by Yosano Akiko and Kunikida Doppo. When Ise went to sea, he could only sit with the famous detective.

Everyone seems to think that he and Edogawa Ranpo get along very well, and they deliberately reserved this position for him.

Isekai smiled helplessly, and took out the biscuits he made this morning from his bag and distributed them to everyone.

The smell he was looking for when he lost his memory was actually his sister's smell, and now he can barely restore it to seven or eight points.

Edogawa looked at his actions in disorder, a little concerned.

It was obvious that they were only given to him before, but this time the famous detective didn't get a special donut!

He took a bite of the biscuit expressionlessly, and found that the taste was very different from the last time. The sweetness was reduced, but some spices were added, as if to make up for the sweetness and milky aroma. The overall effect was surprisingly good.

He put on black-rimmed glasses, looked at Ise Sea again, and noticed that his demeanor was more perfect and his temperament had changed.Recalling the results of the Yokohama Festival and the news of the crash, I had the answer in my heart.

——The memory is restored.

He squinted his eyes again, and said arrogantly: "Next time I want donuts, and this is the same method."

Isekai knew that he saw it, the corners of his mouth raised, and subconsciously replied: "Yes."

Wait, didn't he recover his memory?No matter how you are seen through, you will still feel happy.

Could it be that the state has not been withdrawn yet?

He reflected.

Edogawa Ranpo didn't care what he was thinking, and soon after eating the biscuits, he fell asleep and felt sleepy. It made people wonder if he didn't sleep well last night like a primary school student on a spring outing, or he was simply shaken and quiet The car is hypnotic.

He leaned against the window frame, using his hat as a pillow, and soon fell asleep.

As a result, when he braked, his head hit the glass window, and the loud noise attracted the attention of the whole car.

With a hat as a buffer, it didn't hurt much, but Edogawa Ranpo was obviously furious, and he glanced at the few people in front of him except the president.

The person being watched quickly turned his head away, looking at the scenery outside the window as if nothing had happened, no one dared to be missed by the famous detective.

Ise Kai, who was reading a book but had a smile on his face, was also targeted.

"Hold on!" A detective requisitioned his left shoulder for a new pillow.

Edogawa's curly black hair poked into his collar and scratched his neck. He didn't dare to move, and it was inconvenient to turn the pages of the book, for fear of waking up people and attracting sympathetic gazes from the front seat.

Isekai could only relax his body as much as possible, listening to the sound of Edogawa's random steps and even breathing, in order to prevent himself from falling asleep, he thought for a while, and he decided to chat with his subordinates due to his limited mobility.

Holding the mobile phone with his right hand, he poked into the private chat with Ichiro Sagara, and even after losing to Nobuko Sasaki, he also became a member of Elchea, code-named Rubik's Cube[1].

——You are chatting privately with user [Mofang]——

Pan: Are there any items with powerful energy in this world?

Rubik's Cube: ...

Rubik's Cube: The cornerstone of the world, that is, 7 to the 3rd power and the Dresden Stone Plate.This is an open secret.

The open secret seems to be coveted by many people.

Isekai was thoughtful.

The system was taken aback: 【Edogawa Ranpo's head is next to you, he can see your interface as soon as he opens his eyes!No, he closed his eyes and squinted them the same way, maybe he is watching right now. 】

"Isn't it more exciting to be in front of the detective?" Ise Kai didn't hold back at all, and continued to ask.

Pan: specific location.

Rubik's Cube: What do you want to do? !

Pan: Know a little open secret.

Rubik's Cube: ... 7 to the 3rd power is said to be in the hands of Mafia in Italy, but I don't know the details.The Dresden Slate is in the Pillar Tower, and has always been guarded by the King of Gold. It is rumored that the king is selected by the Slate.

Pan: So what's in the supernatural agent department?

This time, it took a long time for the other party to continue to reply, as if he realized that he had betrayed the secret service department, and even made up a registration of supernatural power information for Ise Haihu, his attitude finally became clearer.

Rubik's Cube: It is a "book", a supernatural item made out of imitation cornerstones.No one knows the true location of the book, but recently there has been an unknown rumor in the world...

After reading the news about the book, Isekai switched the interface.

——You are privately chatting with user [Marshmallow]——

Pan: Do you know 7 to the 3rd power?

Marshmallow: Oh, if Pan Jun wants to make this idea, it's better to give up.Gangji-kun is not easy to deal with, and I will not stand by your side.

Pan: I see. Speaking from experience?

Marshmallow: It's made of white dregs from other worlds, it has nothing to do with me (laughs).

System: [Why do players suddenly focus on these? 】

Ise Kai: "If I want to go home, there is a high probability that I will need these special props. Ordinary manpower will definitely not be able to break through the barriers of the world - there will always be such things in comics."

The system is speechless: [Player, you have recovered your memory and still refer to the comics? 】

Ise Kai said confidently: "Elchea's development level is similar to that of the Middle Ages in this world. The world here is a fantasy world for me. I think there is nothing wrong with referring to comics. Anyway, I haven't missed it so far."

"And even in our place, there is this kind of conceptual device that can subvert the world, which is the star cup of the only god. These things seem to be much easier to obtain than the star cup." Of course, he thinks that as long as the strongest power to achieve your goals.

System: [I thought the player would use that information reward at this time. 】

He smiled and replied, "It would be too wasteful to use it here, but I have already thought about the use."

Isekai sent a text message to his little friend Zhongya Nakahara.

Ise Kai: Chuya, have you finished your work recently?I am waiting for your big meal.

Chuya Nakahara: I see, tomorrow at noon?

Ise Kai: I will return from Kusatsu Onsen tomorrow afternoon.

Chuya Nakahara: Students are leisurely... Then make an appointment next Saturday when you are on vacation, and you can send me the restaurant you choose, you are welcome.

System vigilance: [It was agreed to take a good rest these two days and not cause trouble. 】

Ise Hai said innocently: "Nothing happened. But next week I will be busy again."

The system contacted him with the text message just now and asked: 【Are you going to deal with the port Mafia this time? 】

Ise Kai: "It's not dealing with it, it's just a visit as the leader of Elchea."

The system complained: [Since we are going, we just followed Osamu Dazai before, so there is no need to fall into the sea. 】

Ise Hai said lightly, "I'll go if they tell me to go. How embarrassing."

It seems to be oh.

The system stopped talking.

When approaching the destination, Edogawa Luanpo woke up precisely, making people doubt whether he fell asleep or not.

The detective seemed very satisfied with Ise Hai's pillow, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Good job."

A group of people went to the hot spring hotel, and Ise Kai, who held the coupon, went to register as a passenger, while the others waited in the lobby.

When he went back, he saw that the expressions of several members of the detective agency were a little strange.

He followed everyone's line of sight and found a tall blond young man who was also wearing a detective outfit.

It seems that President Fukuzawa and the others know this person because they are colleagues?Ranbu-kun looked a little unhappy.

"Are you an acquaintance?" He asked bluntly. Facing this kind of scene, it was impossible not to be curious.

No one replied to him, but the blonde detective looked at Ise Kai, his eyes were emotionless, and his tone was cold, "European noble?"

Because everyone in Butei knew that he was from another world, Isekai hadn't deliberately concealed it in front of them, but not everyone could see it.

This person may have a reasoning ability no less than that of Edogawa Ranpo.

Ise Kai suddenly became interested.

Edogawa Ranpo pouted dissatisfiedly, "Master Ranpo is going to have lunch."

Yosano Akiko responded quickly and winked, "Ise, let's put things away first."

Isekai understood what she meant, and handed her a bunch of keys, "One room for men and one room for women, we will meet later in the private room of the restaurant."

After speaking, he pulled Edogawa Ranpo's wrist and walked towards the room.

The room is a traditional tatami suite. It is no problem to accommodate four men. There is a separate small hot spring inside. It can be seen that the system is very luxurious.

They were thus separated from the blonde detective.

I only stayed for two days and one night, so I didn’t have much luggage. There are also bathrobes for the guests in the hotel, and they will change into uniforms when they get to the room.

Ise Kai wanted to ask Kunikida Doppo what was going on with the blond detective, but the other party also looked at a loss.

He had no choice but to go to the private room of the restaurant in advance, and while helping Edogawa Ranpo and the others pre-order, he asked Yosano Akiko.

"Oh, that man." Yosano Akiko's expression was a little tangled, "That's also a detective, and his ability is a bit special. Three years ago, there was a serial murderer who was called 'single-handed'. The military and police asked In order to deal with it at random, it just so happened that the Supernatural Secret Service Division also participated in it, and invited the other party to go."

Oh hoo, this is a big taboo.

Just like there is usually only one detective in a detective novel, because if there are two detectives, one of them is usually wrong in his reasoning.

But Ise Kai didn't think that Ranpo Edogawa would make a mistake in his reasoning.

"The two found the murderer at the same time, but the other party's supernatural power was activated, and everyone's attention was diverted, so Luanbu was a little unhappy." Yosano Akiko was also very helpless.

This is indeed something that Mr. Ranbu will care about.

Isekai smiled knowingly.

But this also shows that the other party's supernatural ability is very unique, and Yosano Akiko seems to deliberately avoid talking about it.

Isekai was very interested in the blonde detective, he left the private room for a while, and asked Aihara Ichiro directly about the other party's information.

He sighed to the system: "It really is cool to have your own source of information."

System: [Looks like there is no need for Ango Sakaguchi to go undercover in the Supernatural Secret Service? 】

Ise Kai: "Their uses are different."

Rubik's Cube: You should be talking about Ayatsuji Xingren.Like you, he is an A-level personnel with super-dangerous abilities, known as a murder detective.The supernatural ability [Another] can make the real culprit he infers and has evidence of conviction die accidentally. If the reasoning is wrong, nothing will happen.

Seeing his reply, Isekai was stunned.

System: [What's wrong? 】

Ise Kai: "Remember Banano Cang said that he couldn't find evidence against those officials? Since there are such supernatural powers, do you think those rotten guys can really sleep peacefully?"

"The fact that Ayatsuji pedestrians are still alive proves one thing - those people have mastered the ability to fight against him." Ise Kai grinned, "The supernatural ability that can eliminate criminal evidence will make it absolutely impossible for Ayatsuji pedestrians to convict them." .”

"Interesting..." He quietly perfected his plan.

Not long after he returned to the private room, Edogawa Ranpo and others came over with an unhappy face.

Ise Hai felt that something was wrong, a small incident three years ago would not affect his mood until now.

He said to the system: "Check for me, is there any case around here?"

After the meal was over, the system replied to him: [There was a murder nearby, and it was reported on the local news this morning.I dug deeper and the victim was the sister of a member of Parliament. 】

It turned out to be the case.

Senator wants revenge on the murderer, so he hires homicide detectives to solve the case.

From Edogawa Ranpo's point of view, it's no wonder that he, the big detective, is going to come, but the congressman commissioned other detectives. No wonder he would be angry.

The hot spring in the suite is not as big as the public hot spring, and the four of us will feel a little cramped, so we divide the time to soak in the hot spring.Edogawa Ranpo came first, and everyone wanted him to feel better quickly.

Ise Kai asked the hotel for some eggs, put them in a bamboo basket, and put them in the grooves specially made by the edge of the hot spring.This groove is separated from the big hot spring. It is small and shallow, and the temperature is higher than the big hot spring. It was originally used to boil eggs.

"You can eat it after you soak it." He said to Edogawa Ranpo who was playing with the little yellow duck. He didn't forget that the other party had been thinking about the hot spring eggs.

The detective looked at him with emerald green eyes. He didn't wear black-rimmed glasses, but his eyes were still sharp. "You plan to go to the murder scene next."

Ise Kai stopped standing up.

He really wanted to see Ayatsuji pedestrian's reasoning, and to see his supernatural powers. When he went to the front desk just now, he also saw the blond detective going out, so he thought he was going to the scene of the crime.

Edogawa hurriedly pushed the little yellow duck down to the surface of the water, and the underwater little yellow duck circled his hand and floated tremblingly again.

Ise Kai looked at him with some doubts, "Did I make you angry again?"

He obviously didn't do anything this time.

"As a believer of a famous detective, he actually wants to switch to another detective, of course Lord Ranpo will be angry!"

That accusing gaze seemed to be that Ise Kai had done something terrible.

Don't think that the famous detective doesn't know. Since yesterday, this guy's eyes are not as sparkling as before.

Although he likes to be eye-catching, he doesn't care about other people's psychological thoughts. Because he is an idiot, it is understandable not to see his excellence.

A famous detective would not care about one or two glances.

There happened to be a case here in Kusatsu, and when he saw the performance of the famous detective and saw the extraordinary ability of the famous detective, he would definitely realize how big a mistake he had made, and look at Ranpo-sama with admiration again.

However, the congressman actually invited another detective over.

This guy is also very interested in that detective, and must have investigated it.

If a guy who no longer pays attention to himself goes to pay attention to other detectives, doesn't it mean that he is inferior to other detectives?

Edogawa Ranpo thought angrily.

This is something that cannot be tolerated.

Of course he would be angry.

Isekai also roughly guessed his psychological thoughts, and he couldn't laugh or cry, "No, Ranpo-kun is the first and last one, I won't worship other detectives."

He even planned to give up on Edogawa Ranpo, why did he have to find another light for himself.

"I don't believe you."

Edogawa Ranpo pointed at him, and said maliciously: "I said I was going to give up, but I would be very happy to be seen through by Ranpo-sama."

Has even this been seen through?

As if being seen into the depths of the soul, the tingling feeling that made the pores stretch and the blood speed up, like an electric shock, reappeared.

Sitting by the hot spring, Isekai remembered the first time when he ran around in Edogawa, and found painfully that he didn't seem to have the idea of ​​getting rid of that perverted idea at all, and it had nothing to do with memory.

He didn't control his expression, so seeing his expression, Edogawa Ranpo felt satisfied, and his mood changed from cloudy to sunny.

"That's right, you are a believer of Lord Ranpo, it is impossible to take your eyes off Lord Ranpo."

Ise Hai, who failed to struggle and broke the pot, couldn't help but retort: ​​"I have my own gods, so I can't become someone else's believer."

"Nothing is impossible in front of Ranpo-sama."

The eyes of a famous detective are like a mirror that reflects the facts, "When you talk about your beliefs, you don't react at all, and you are not religious at all. There is no such god in this world. If this is the case, it is better to believe in a famous detective."

Casually regard a person as one's own belief...

Ise Hai shook his head again and again, "Impossible, it's too shameful." It's too secondary.

Edogawa poked his forehead at random, and said happily: "You don't care about shame, little prince—"

Ise Kai covered his face, his body trembling slightly.

Although his true identity was indeed the little prince, being called that in this world was like being publicly executed for the diary of the Second Secondary School.

"I'm so happy, why don't you admit it?"

Isekai dodged his gaze and sighed, "Stop teasing me, Ranbu-kun."

"I'm not teasing you, what I said is true. Edogawa Ranpo swears, "You just like this kind of shame-"

Ise Kai leaned forward and covered his mouth, begging for mercy, the roots of his ears were already red to the point of bleeding, "Okay, I promise, Ranpo-sama, let me go."

He thought of the experience that Oda Sakunosuke taught him, and he thought it was playing role-playing with a famous detective.

no shame no shame...

He tried to hypnotize himself.

Edogawa Ranbu looked at his blue eyes that could only reflect a single figure, and after breaking away, he said triumphantly: "Who made you always make me angry."

When he returned from revenge, he smiled and bent his eyebrows, "Mr. Believer, tell me how to make you angry. Have you ever been really angry?"

It was the first time for the famous detective who was used to making people angry, to meet such a guy. Even if he had a thorough look at him, he would only be more excited, not as angry as the others at all.

Isekai pondered for a while, "There are still some. When I was ten years old, my grandfather lost the National Library to people of other races."

"This incident in itself does not make me very angry, but when I was 15 years old, before I came to these worlds, I went to challenge that person and planned to block everything to win back to the library. She thought I was just a cheap Human beings, the stakes are not equal, and they are not qualified to play with her, so I rejected my challenge."

There was a cold look in his eyes, "Such an arrogant guy, I really hate it."

Since then, he has hated the Flügel.

Edogawa Ranpo nodded, "You must be very arrogant for thinking like this."

Ise Hai was stunned, recalling that feeling.

Books are more important than life to the Flügel, he is well aware of this, but he still proposed the game because... subconsciously, he felt that his identity was no less than that of the Flügel, and he did not really regard himself as the lowest human species.

In other words, he should know his true identity subconsciously.

He blinked, regained his thoughts, and asked with a smile: "It really is the keen Lord Ranbu."

"Are you going to piss me off like she did?"

Then he probably really hates Kamiedogawa Ranpo.

"The detective will find other ways to make you angry. Don't try to get rid of the detective in this way."

Edogawa Ranpo narrowed his eyes dangerously, "Master Ranpo will not let you look away."

He won't lose to other detectives.

Ise Kai tilted his head, smiling unabated, "Okay."

As long as it doesn't affect his plan, he doesn't mind continuing to stare at the light.

In the end, Ranpo Edogawa picked up a handful of water and splashed him wet, causing Ise Kai to miss Ayatsuji pedestrian's reasoning performance.

"What a petty Lord Ranbu." He had no choice but to take a shower and sit in the hot spring. He couldn't look away forcibly.

Edogawa Ranpo spoke convincingly, "As a believer, you must stay and peel the hot spring eggs for me."

"Yes Yes."

On the second day, the trip to the hot spring finally ended with everyone happy.

On the car back, Isekai and Edogawa Ranpo were still sitting side by side in the back, and everyone found that their relationship seemed to be getting better.Every time, Isekai can make the famous detective smile just right, and he can understand Edogawa Ranpo's meaning with just one look.

Ms. Haruno quietly asked for his contact information, and set him as the No. [-] Edogawa Ranpo Noble Phantasm.President Fukuzawa is also considering whether to invite him to work in a detective agency after graduation.

"Sit over." Edogawa Ranpo suddenly said in the back seat of the car.

Isekai had no choice but to move to the edge. As soon as he sat down, Edogawa Ranbu lay down, curled up on his side in the back seat, resting his head on his thigh, finding a comfortable position for himself. He muttered, "The shoulders are still too tight."

This is the first time that Isekai has been so close to others. This time, he didn't play with his mobile phone or read a book, but quietly looked at Edogawa's sleeping face without thinking about anything until he Also propped up his hands and fell asleep.

In the past two days, his spirit has truly relaxed.

Another weekend, Chess used its ability to cover all of Yokohama from the morning.

Mafia headquarters in the heavily guarded port welcomes an unexpected visitor.

A red-haired boy dressed as if he came out of a high-end masquerade ball stood at the door and glanced coldly at the guards, "I have an appointment."

"It's really free to make an appointment on the public screen in the chat room in the morning." The black-haired prospective cadre came late, "Mr. Mori is waiting for you upstairs, come with me."

It was the same route as the last time Ise Hai came, but this time no one dared to search Pan Dora, who was the leader of another organization, easily.

In the chief's office, Mori Ogai was sternly waiting, and the blond-haired Alice was also standing obediently behind the chair.

He said with emotion: "It's really not easy to invite Mr. Pan to come here."

"So, what do you want to say when you invited me several times?" Pandora wearing a mask sat down opposite him, took a sip of black tea, and was not afraid of the safety of black tea.

Mori Ogai pulled out a smile, "I want to play a game with Pan Jun."

Pandora seemed to be interested, she put down her teacup and looked over, "You want to challenge me?"

"It's Mafia at the port that wants to challenge Elchea." Mori Ogai propped his chin up and said with absolute certainty, "I want your license to open with abilities."
