Did Yokohama Bungo write today?

Poe never thought that he would come to Yokohama again so soon, still in the state of being kidnapped.

To be honest, his current thoughts can be said to be abnormally chaotic.

"Carl, I always feel that something will happen..." As soon as he arrived in Yokohama, Poe suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

But Carl the raccoon just waved his paw impatiently, gnawing on the small dried fish prepared for him by [Edogawa Ranpo] as usual, completely ignoring the helpless Poe.

Poe had to admit that in many ways, his pet Carl was much more at ease than his master.

This is not to say that Poe is uncomfortable, although he is now in a kidnapped state, but the "kidnappers" do not unduly restrict his freedom.

He is even more healthy now than when he lived alone.

If it weren't for the daily reminders from "kidnappers" who claimed to be fans, Edgar Allan Poe would have thought he was on vacation.

"I really want to go to Mr. Ranpo now..." Poe leaned on the desk, but when he thought of another [Edogawa Ranpo] who was elusive, he gave up this tempting idea.

This is because Mr. Edogawa, who is definitely a pleasure offender, always gives him a terrifying and well-behaved illusion.

Being well-behaved is a weird idea in my subconscious, while being scary is my true feelings in the process of actually getting along with him.

He himself is a little afraid of [Edogawa Ranpo], perhaps because of the ubiquitous blue tricks of the other party, and more because of the undisguised strong desire to explore in his eyes.

Even if he is the same type of Mr. Ranpo whom he admires, it is difficult for Poe to get along with this distorted young man in some aspects.

In comparison, another reasoning writer from another world [Conan Doyle] is much more normal than a young man.

At least, Poe thought, Mr. Doyle was able to hide some abnormal emotions when communicating with himself.

Only recently, especially since he came to Yokohama, Poe seldom saw that very gentleman in his current residence.

In such a daze, Poe forgot that there was still a blue monster wandering around him.

"Surprise~" An increasingly familiar voice came from the ear, which made the social phobic patient subconsciously hug the fluffy Carl by his hand.

Fearing that the world would not be chaotic, [Edogawa Ranpo] sneaked into Poe's study from the window on the second floor as usual, and greeted his beloved "teacher" in a consistent tone.

Sure enough, Mr. Stranger Thief managed to scare Poe.

"It's really Mr. Poe!" [Edogawa Ranpo] noticed the new novel manuscript on Poe's desk at a glance, as if he found a toy that he loved very much, he cheered, "Teacher Is there a new trick (story)?"

"It's not a trick, it's a new novel for Mr. Ranpo!" Edgar Allan Poe subconsciously responded.

"So that's it~" The blue strange thief snapped his fingers as if joking, and the next moment, the manuscript on the table appeared in his hands, "It's here!"

Edgar Allan Poe felt that shameful sense of death again, but he couldn't do anything!

At the same time as he got the manuscript, the vicious young man did not forget to add a sentence: "I am also Ranpo Edogawa, rounding it up, I can also read novels written by Mr. Poe with all his heart!"

"That's different—" No matter how confident the other party was, Edgar Allan Poe couldn't help retorting.

However, his voice became weaker and weaker due to various reasons, and he even lost his confidence.

Poe could not understand why Mr. Ranpo's counterpart had such a disturbing personality—

He is not like a detective, but like a phantom thief who is keen to tease the detective.

At this moment, Edgar Allan Poe inexplicably remembered a few exclamations that [Conan Doyle] inadvertently said.

"Edogawa-kun is still the same, the more people care about it, the more they like to toss..."

"Except for the teacher, he is always extremely timid when facing the teacher..."

Edgar Allan Poe remembered very clearly the next sentence that followed.

"But after coming to this world, because of his peer relationship, he became much more frank."

Mr. Doyle from another world commented unhurriedly.

"It's like letting yourself go."

……

"Mr. Edogawa, where did Mr. Doyle go?" Anyway, Poe finally asked this question.

Having just finished reading Edgar Allan Poe's new novel, [Edogawa Ranpo], who has almost no restraints, nodded in satisfaction. He was very happy with the rapid improvement in the writing level of another Poe teacher.

This feeling of cultivating a peer of the teacher I admire most——

It's really great!

However, while enjoying these delightful tricks, he must first complete the task assigned by the dear secretary.

Therefore, the phantom thief, who was already good at acting, easily performed the script he had written.

"Are you talking about Mr. Er?" The blue phantom thief asked knowingly, he narrowed his eyes viciously, and the monocle reflected an unknown light, "He's about to be out!"

"Is it a confrontation?" Poe probably understood the current situation, but he still asked stupidly, "But, aren't you companions?"

"It's just a temporary cooperation partner~" [Edogawa Ranpo] had a flawless smile on his face, "Because we wanted to meet you, Mr. Po, quickly!"

Edgar Allan Poe couldn't help getting goose bumps all over his body, he had a premonition at that moment——

He seemed to be glued to the kind of trouble that he couldn't get rid of.

"Now, my wish has been fulfilled, so there is no need for such a dangerous partnership!" [Edogawa Ranpo] cheered with ease, "That's great!"

"But……"

"Betrayal is very easy to happen within us~"

The other party cunningly used this fact to silence Edgar Allan Poe who wanted to ask questions.

"..."

"Is the teacher worried about him?" The young man smiled slightly, "Don't worry about it!"

"He's now looking for his true allies."

"However, if you really care about Mr. Dao Er, I have another way~"

As soon as the words fell, the figure of the blue monster thief was shrouded in an unknown mist, and his figure kept changing...

A terrifying guess suddenly popped up in Edgar Allan Poe's brain. He raised his head hastily as if he had finally found the truth, revealing his frightened eyes under thick bangs.

He found out why he was kidnapped so easily.

The hazy smoke gradually dissipated, and what Edgar Allan Poe saw was no longer the playful blue monster, but the elegant gentleman who had often taught him how to write.

"Mister Doyle...?" he murmured.

"Teacher Po." The person who couldn't be here showed a decent smile.

Next to a certain warehouse near the port mafia, 【Keigo Higashino】seriously watched the scene where Chuya Chuya dealt with the invaders.

"There. That's right." The young man pointed at a vulnerable part of the invader, and suggested intimately, "There is, this kind of invader, the most vulnerable place."

Zhong Yuanzhong also quickly listened to the suggestion.

During the time when Zhongya became [Keigo Higashino] bodyguard, he has gradually come into contact with various invaders.

He had a vague feeling that the library asked [Keigo Higashino] to do this on purpose, and it seemed to have other meanings, but Nakahara didn't hate it either.

This at least gave him experience fighting the Corruptor.

"Hey——" After solving the difficult corroder, Zhong Yuan suddenly asked, "Aren't you worried about that so-called confrontation?"

"Don't worry." [Keigo Higashino] checked the game console quietly, and replied honestly, as if he didn't care about the changes around him at all, "After all, my winning rate is not high at all."

"Besides, it is my consistent principle to solve the troubles on the letters first." He took out a bunch of new future letters.

Anxiety is like the letters in Jieyou mailbox, it will only increase.

Nakahara also froze for a moment, he didn't expect the weird [Keigo Higashino] to answer like this.

But he just relaxed his vigilance a little bit, and the invader who had been hiding all this time seized this opportunity and quickly counterattacked.

But he was only swayed for a moment, and was soon crushed by the whip of [Keigo Higashino] who claimed to be not good at fighting.

After skillfully dealing with the sneak attacking invaders, the boy habitually transformed the silver whip into a book, and put the book somewhere else.

"Huh? That's what you said—not good at fighting!" Zhongyuan Zhong also had a half-smile, and complained in a low-pressure manner.

"Yes. Compared to others, I'm really not good at fighting." [Keigo Higashino] admitted solemnly, "I'm just a weak support."

He took it for granted, "Besides, aren't you more familiar with this kind of thing than me?"

But without waiting for any reaction from the Central Plains, he quickly opened a letter with a gear-like wax seal——

[Keigo Higashino] pondered suspiciously for a while.

"My ally... probably." He hesitantly folded the letter and put it back in the envelope, "He's in Yokohama."

"You still have an alliance?" Zhong Yuanzhong was also a little surprised.

"...Mr. Mori didn't tell you?"

In another world where civilization is stagnant, [Keigo Higashino] was also a well-known reasoning writer in history, using his literary works to make the world progress and develop.

So, it didn't take long for him to figure out a lot of things.

The boy put the letter away carefully, and then replied firmly: "He can only be my ally now."

"If nothing else happens, he is likely to be waiting for us in your leader's office."

"We must rush back now."

"otherwise--"
