When Fujiwara Anko and Fukuzawa Yukichi were talking indoors, California Kiyomitsu, Yamato Morita, Imaiken, and Yanrong were waiting outside.

Yosano Akiko politely asked them if they wanted something to drink, but was declined.

She asked with interest: "Is your body real flesh and blood? Or does it just look like a human being?"

After the question, both Yosano Akiko and Yosano Akiko want to study the differences between swordsmen and ordinary people.

"Our bodies should be no different from ordinary people? We will also be injured, bleed, and dying." California Qingguang changed the subject again, with a little pride in his tone: "Of course, the lord will not let us get hurt. "

Yan Rong smiled and said, "Because the lord is very strong."

"Are there a lot of sword men? How many are there? Can all ancient swords form a sword Fusangshin?" Kunikida Doppo used to collect relevant information.

"I'm sorry, the lord is not here, so I can't disclose this information casually." Yamato Mamoru Anda smiled apologetically at Kunikida Doppo. The black-haired and blue-eyed knife-wielding boy looked very well-behaved.

Before Kunikida Doppo said anything, Yosano Akiko waved his hands first: "It's okay, Kunikida asked a little too much."

"..."

Edogawa, who was sitting next to him and eating rough snacks, raised his eyes randomly and glanced at Yamato Mamoru Anding, thinking, Dr. Yosano may have been mistaken this time.

Yamato Morita seemed to notice his gaze, looked back, and smiled at Edogawa Ranpo.

Jin Jian frequently looked at the location of the president's office: "Why isn't your lord coming out yet?"

"Maybe what we are talking about is more important." Yan Rong patted Jin Jian's head: "Be patient and wait."

While talking, Fujiwara Anko's brisk voice sounded: "I'm done talking! Jin Jian, Yan Rong, Qing Guangguang, An Ding Ding, we can go home."

She walked towards Edogawa, and waved to Yosano Akiko and Kunikida Doppo: "Please help me take care of the swordsmen. Mr. Detective, I will have candy delivered tomorrow."

Edogawa Ranpo bit the potato chips with a "click" and said, "It's not too bad. Ranpo-sama will give you another piece of advice—"

"The target of the time retrograde army is not just this world."

"And you."

"..."

On the way back, Fujiwara Anko thought about Edogawa Ranpo's words.

To be honest, Fujiwara Anko was not very surprised that the retrograde army included her as a target.When she first came, didn't the retrograde army come to attack while the knives were not there?

But since Edogawa Ranpo specifically mentioned it, there must be his reason.

Fujiwara Anko doesn't doubt Edogawa Ranpo's ability. She can see that Edogawa Ranpo's supernatural ability "super reasoning" is not a supernormal ability, but comes from his own outstanding reasoning ability.

However, since Ranpo Edogawa and the Armed Detective Agency both firmly maintain the point of view of supernatural powers, Anko Fujiwara thinks she doesn't need to speak out.

"My lord, don't worry too much." Jin Jian waved the dagger in his hand: "No matter what their goals are, Yan Rong and I will kill them for my lord!"

"Me and Kiyomitsu too~" Yamato Mamoru Anding said with a smile.

"Hmm!" Fujiwara Anko also rolled her eyes with a smile.

"..."

Back home, Fujiwara Anko opened the information bag and began to carefully browse the relevant information of Atsushi Nakajima.

Nakajima Atsushi is two years younger than Akutagawa Ryunosuke and lives in an orphanage.He is also a person with supernatural abilities. According to the information found by the Armed Detective Agency, Atsushi Nakajima's supernatural ability is "Moonbeast".This ability can make his limbs change into the appearance of a white tiger, and the changed parts have extremely strong attack and defense power.

"Hmm, white tiger?" Fujiwara Xing couldn't help laughing: "If you retreat, maybe the two of you can chat."

Five Tigers Tui is also a member of the Awataguchi faction. The weak and shy little dagger raises five little tigers.

Mao Li leaned over to look at the information: "If you quit, you will definitely be able to get along well with this Mr. Nakajima."

"Does my lord want to take over Mr. Nakajima?" Xiaolong Jingguang asked.

Fujiwara Anko didn't make a decision immediately.She looked at Akutagawa Ryunosuke and Akutagawa Gin who were quietly sitting next to her, and organized her words to say——

"It's like this, Xiaojie, do you still remember the day when I adopted you and Xiaoyin, did the retrograde army attack you? Later, according to the information we got, you were one of the secondary targets of the retrograde army."

"At that time there was another secondary target, this boy named Atsushi Nakajima."

Fujiwara Anko showed the photo to Ryunosuke Akutagawa and Gin Akutagawa.In the photo, the frail boy is dressed in shabby clothes, his bangs are slanted, and timidity is hidden in a pair of purple-gold eyes.

"I want to ask you, are you willing to accept one more person here?" Fujiwara Anko asked softly, "Don't rush to answer me, you are members of this family, and you have such rights."

However, Akutagawa Ryunosuke did not hesitate too much, and said: "It's all up to sister Fujiwara's decision, and I have no opinion."

Akutagawa Gin pursed his lips and whispered, "Me too."

"Then," Fujiwara Anko asked again, "are you willing to pick him up with me?"

Akutagawa Ryunosuke: "Of course."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke's eyes fell on the photo.To be honest, he didn't want Fujiwara Anko's attention to be distracted, but since the other party was also the target of the retrograde army, he couldn't make Fujiwara Anko too embarrassing.

Fujiwara Anko rubbed the scar between her eyebrows, couldn't help laughing and said: "Xiaojie, do you know? You have unwillingness written all over your face. You make me look like a flirtatious lover who loves the new and dislikes the old."

Yaki Hasebe has often shown such an expression in front of her, and Fujiwara Anko is hardly too familiar with it.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke was startled, subconsciously touched his face, was it obvious?He tried to explain to himself: "That's not the case, next..."

Before he could say anything, a hand suddenly pressed his head, suppressing all the words behind him.

Fujiwara Anko stretched out her hand and touched the fierce and obedient "Lop Rabbit": "Xiao Jie, sometimes, be more frank. At least, in front of me, I hope you can express your thoughts. Then, I will You will feel, um! I raised you very well. You are willing to open your heart to me, and you don’t have to worry about whether I will be embarrassed or angry.”

"Xiaoyin, you too. You two, brother and sister, have the same personalities in your bones." She sighed long.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke lowered his eyes, and he saw his hands on his knees unconsciously curled into fists, and his white fingertips were trembling slightly.

Are you scared?Of course I was afraid.

Afraid of being abandoned, afraid that the current life is a bubble, afraid that Fujiwara Anko will make a mistake, it is actually not a big problem if the retrograde army kills him.

Fear, after waking up from the dream, he and Yin are still struggling in that precarious and dim world, unable to see the sun.

Fujiwara Xing said that he has the same temper as Gin.

Actually not, Yin is far more optimistic than him.She would take the initiative to contact sister Fujiwara, and offered to clean the room and cook as a reward on the first day she came.She also dared to speak carefully to the sword men, braided Suzumaru Koji's hair, and learned cooking from Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada.

But what about himself?

Perhaps it was the pessimism in his bones, he always thought that if there was no retrograde army incident, he would not have met Fujiwara Anko, or perhaps, he would have been killed by the retrograde army early.

He always thought that he was too weak, too weak to stand behind Fujiwara Anko.

"If you feel weak, become strong."

When Fujiwara Anko said this, Akutagawa Ryunosuke was startled, and he asked her in a hoarse voice: "Sister Fujiwara, are you not strong enough?"

Fujiwara Anko held the hands of Akutagawa Gin and Akutagawa Ryunosuke, and comforted him, "Xiaosuke, Xiaoyin, don't worry."

"Don't think about the possibility that it didn't happen. Since I choose to adopt you, then you are my younger siblings."

"It doesn't matter if you can't catch up with me."

"Because I can walk towards you."

Her smile is bright and pure, like the most dazzling warm sun, but it never burns anyone.

Akutagawa Gin held Fujiwara Anko's hand tightly, and said softly, "I understand, sister Fujiwara. I am working hard to learn short swords from Mr. Mori."

Mori testified: "Miss Akutagawa is very serious, my lord."

Mao Li likes to take care of children, but he is not soft-hearted when it comes to training.Otherwise, it would be harming Akutagawa Silver.But Gin Akutagawa looks soft and weak, lacking in perseverance and understanding, and she can't shrink back even if she falls or gets scratched.

Xiaolong Jingguang's tone was relaxed: "Mr. Akutagawa has also made great progress in the use of supernatural powers."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke: "But I have never won once."

Xiaolong Jingguang laughed a few times: "That's because Mr. Akutagawa's actual combat experience is not rich enough. Given time, Mr. Akutagawa will definitely become stronger."

"Look, Xiaosuke, even Xiaolong said that. It's not just me comforting you, is it?" Fujiwara Anko touched Akutagawa Ryunosuke's head again, with a gentle tone: "I'm looking forward to seeing Xiaosuke become stronger. That day."

"I... will definitely live up to sister Fujiwara's expectations." Akutagawa Ryunosuke said word by word.

Fujiwara Anko: "Then tell me now, are you sincerely willing to pick up Atsushi Nakajima with me? If you don't want to, I can think of other ways, and it's not difficult."

At worst, he would be fostered in the Armed Detective Agency, but he might have to send two men with swords to protect Atsushi Nakajima, lest the Armed Detective Agency be overwhelmed and the retrograde army find an opportunity to attack.

The answer given by Akutagawa Ryunosuke this time remains unchanged: "Of course."

However, this time it was not out of fear of Fujiwara Anko's embarrassment.

Fujiwara Anko heard it, so she laughed: "Okay, let's go together..."

"Master Fujiwara!"

The communicator suddenly projected Fox's help.The furry little fox shouted anxiously: "Current affairs have detected a change in the WY-1 World Retrograde Army."

"According to the fluctuation range of energy concentration, the retrograde army is likely to appear here."

During the projection, the map was continuously enlarged, and finally fixed on a place where Fujiwara Anko and the others were about to go——

The orphanage where Atsushi Nakajima lives.
