Months passed after that day, and Yoni failed to contact Alice to fulfill her original promise.

However, Mori Ogai has now become a popular person next to the leader of the port mafia. Just from this point of view, no one will deliberately embarrass Alice.

As for Chuya Zhongyuan, he was discovered by Uni after sneaking around Lantang's house several times, and then invited him into the house for a sip of hot tea. Slowly Lantang also got used to the existence of Chuya Zhongyuan, and acquiesced in his cooperation with him. Yoni makes friends.

This point was also ridiculed by colleagues in the port mafia. Is it really good to let the stinky boys outside come close to the cute little girl at home?

Of course, this was under the condition that they didn't know that that person was Chuya Nakahara, the king of sheep.

"Soy sauce...soy sauce..." Yoni carried a shopping basket and looked for the brands of soy sauce he used to eat along the shelves.

Pointing with his fingers, he looked at the labels on the shelf one by one.

"Ah, I found it!" When she stopped and reached for it, a wheelchair suddenly hit her.

Due to the slow moving speed of the wheelchair, Youni only suffered a bit of pain from the bump, and did not suffer much injuries.

She lowered her head and looked over. It was a gloomy black-haired girl with a golden butterfly hairpin pinned to her hair. She lowered her head and said vaguely, "...Sorry, are you not hurt?"

I don't know why, she seemed very nervous when she said this, her brows were subconsciously frowned, but she didn't seem to be nervous about whether Yoni was injured, but to avoid something else.

"I'm fine, how about you?" Youni frowned and asked reassuringly.

Yosano Akiko opened her mouth, her voice sounded like a mosquito, and she was about to be pushed away with her hands on the wheelchair, "I'm fine, I'm really, really sorry."

Youni blinked, smiled and praised: "It's good that you're fine, your butterfly hairpin is very beautiful."

So, don't be so nervous.

She pointed to the side of her hair, where she and Yosano Akiko were pinned.

The golden light is shining, and it looks like a butterfly. It is not like the exquisite workmanship in the world, but it has a flexible, vivid and soulful feeling.

It's like a person who has never been in contact with this field and is not proficient in it, but thank you from the bottom of my heart for the butterfly hair accessory I made by myself.

Yosano Akiko's hand for pushing the wheelchair paused, she lowered her head and said softly, "...Thank you."

The response was very blunt, but she didn't want to push the wheelchair away again.

Youni bent down and asked her with a smile: "Are you looking for soy sauce?"

? ”

The thin girl was sitting in a wheelchair, with a thin figure and pale complexion, she didn't seem to treat her body well.

Yosano Akiko nodded silently. The nearly three-year gap in communication made it difficult for her to recall how she communicated with people normally. Even though her companions around her have been taking care of her, men and women are different, and it is inconvenient for her to communicate with others on many things. They tell.

This time it came out mainly because the soy sauce in Wanxiangtang was about to run out.

As for the detective agency, she doesn't know much about reasoning and solving cases, and she can't help her. She has been recovering during her stay in Wanxiangtang. The legs still take time to get used to.

She raised her eyes to meet Yuni's beautiful blue eyes, and asked involuntarily, "Which one do you prefer?"

Before being invited to join the detective agency, she had only been exposed to pastries in Japanese confectionery shops at most, and she knew nothing about home cooking, and she didn't know where to start.

Although the young man invited her to say that her sadness and tenderness were her greatest value, but even so, she couldn't tolerate herself doing nothing but eating and drinking for nothing in the detective agency.

Due to some complicated reasons, she is unwilling and afraid to use supernatural healing for the time being.

In order to help her companions in the detective agency, she had to start from some other places.

Youni frowned, and tiptoed to take out a bottle of soy sauce placed in a corner from the shelf beside it.

"In my case, it's probably this."

"Sweet, I like it very much."

The life before the age of eight left a deep and strong imprint on Yoni's life. Even after being brought to Italy, Yoni is very keen on sweets, especially likes to make the dishes more sweet.

On this point, Lantang expressed good acceptance, and even developed towards the sweet party with Youni.

As for Chuya Nakahara, even if the kid who grew up on Leibo Street doesn’t have a cold for sweets, he doesn’t dislike food, and even often he eats more than Lantang.

"Is it sweet?" Yosano Akiko repeated it softly, her purple eyes looked at Yuni who was waiting for her response.

She reached out to take the soy sauce from Yuni, "Thanks, I'll try it."

The meeting with Akiko Yosano was not a polite talk, but a real plan to buy it back and try it.

She originally wanted to find the soy sauce Wanxiangtang was used to eating before, but she didn't think that this supermarket didn't seem to have that brand, and she didn't know where they brought it back.

"If you think it's delicious, please give me more

hold on to it. "Yuni said so seriously.

Yosano Akiko was a little surprised, and before she could ask Youni, she sighed lightly, and said distressedly: "There are relatively few people buying this soy sauce, and the supermarket seems to be taking it off the shelves."

Seeing Yosano Akiko stunned, Youni smiled and added: "Because I'm afraid I won't be able to buy it in the future, so I want to buy a few more bottles at a time."

Although she likes sweet taste, Yoni usually doesn't add extra sugar when cooking, except to enhance the freshness. What she likes is the special sweet flavor in soy sauce.

It is very familiar and easily reminds her of the taste of the French countryside.

In agreement with Akiko Yosano, she clenched the bottle of soy sauce tightly with her fingers.

Hailan's eyes flickered at her twice, and Youni walked beside her, "The main reason for going out this time is this soy sauce, if you don't have anything else to buy, do you want to pay the bill together?"

She thanked Yosano Akiko in a low voice, and pushed the wheelchair with both hands to move to the cashier side by side with Youni. When the road was smooth, she would secretly peek at Youni.

The dark green broken hair swayed by the ear, Youni's eyebrows and eyes were curved, and the corners of his mouth were raised with a smile. When he noticed that Yosano Akiko was staring at her for a long time, he would even bend down to look at her on his own initiative.

... This child is like a warm little sun.

Even strangers like her are unsuspecting, relying on the image of a disabled person to deceive and traffick children, she has seen many cases in the commissions entrusted to the detective agency by the military and police.

Is it true that nothing will happen if you trust her so casually?

Until they finished paying and walked out of the supermarket, Yosano Akiko was still immersed in the fact that Uni's character was too simple, and if he showed kindness to strangers casually, he might be entangled by strange guys.

Just like when she met Mori Ogai at the dim sum shop.

"Ah, it's raining!" Youni stretched out her hand under the eaves, and the bean-sized raindrops fell on her palm, converging into a shallow puddle of clear water.

The cool humidity outside the supermarket brought Yosano Akiko back to her senses. She bent down and took out an umbrella from under the wheelchair, and propped up a yellow floral barrier.

"I brought an umbrella." Facing Youni's surprised and emotional gaze, she added, "When I went out, I was reminded that it might rain later, so I brought an umbrella out."

It wasn't that she was so clever that she knew that it would rain today even though the weather forecast didn't even broadcast it, but that there was such a person in the detective agency with a strong reasoning ability.

She hesitated, "Do you want to support it together?"

A peaceful life, walking with gentle and lovely girls and chatting

Lol, it seems like a long time ago.

The umbrella with Yosano Akiko is not big, even if two thin girls hold it together, they may get wet in the rain. Of course, the most important thing is that Yosano Akiko’s wheelchair is relatively large, so there is more distance to keep .

Youni looked down at the shopping bag in her hand, it seemed that her strength was not enough to support her and ran back to Mr. Lantang's house in one breath.

"I still can't, I'll wait for the rain to subside before leaving." She shook her head regretfully.

She lowered her eyes with Yosano Akiko, and bit her lower lip. Just now, she invited Youni to hold an umbrella together, and already consumed the courage she had accumulated for more than half a year.

This child doesn't seem to know how to communicate with others, is he shy?

Youni blinked, touched his fingers and tilted his head, smiling cutely, "But can you please accompany me?"

"It's getting late, I'm a little scared." Youni smiled shyly.

Yosano Akiko pursed her lips, her mood that had been silenced by the rejection became active again.

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry to go back." She pursed her lips and shook her head, and finally couldn't help but slightly curled up the corners of her mouth.

……

Since neither of them was in a hurry to go back, they didn't contact the guardian to pick them up, but chatted with each other.

"—Detective agency?" Yoni asked her curiously, "What are detectives like?"

Speaking of which, she had never met a detective.

After thinking about it with Yosano Akiko, he replied seriously: "There is only one detective by my side, who can easily deduce the truth when facing a case, and is a very smart and powerful person."

Although Yosano Akiko is currently in a detective agency, there is only one detective in the agency.

But just that one is better than most detectives in Japan.

"It only takes him one minute to solve the case, and he can know the truth of the matter just by putting on his glasses for one minute." Yosano Akiko replied firmly.

Youni looked at her, blinked his big sea blue eyes, smiled, and frowned: "Miss Xie Ye must like each other very much."

Different from the low and depressed feeling at the beginning, Yosano Akiko now gives her the feeling of being healthy and lively, just like a sunflower struggling to chase the sun.

She understands where her problem is, and she is also working hard to adjust her mentality.

"……um, yes."

Yosano Akiko lowered her eyes lightly, showing a gentle and grateful smile.

"I like Mr. Ranpo very much."

If it wasn't for Edogawa Ranpo, she would probably still be with Mori Ogai now.
