I can't lose to my ex today

Chapter17

"I feel in a good mood, Miss Ranpo."

In the hot spring hotel, the room where the girls of the Armed Detective Agency live, Edogawa Ranpo has been lying on the tatami in a very comfortable mood since he came back, humming a little song that cannot be heard, so happy that he can dream at night Waking up with a smile.

Yosano Akiko who was on the side couldn't help joking.

Edogawa Ranpo smiled even more proudly:

"Akiko, it's a pity you didn't see it. Gojo Satoru's expression tonight is even more ridiculous than the characters in the four-panel manga I read recently!"

It was a very pleasant reunion on the [-]th anniversary, and the famous detective won the N consecutive kills!

She definitely won today!

"Miss Luanbu can tell at a glance that Mingming was temporarily hired by Wutiao to pretend to be a girlfriend, right?"

"Of course~ Hehe, there is no need for reasoning at all, after all... How could anyone want to be with Gojo Satoru! What are you trying to figure out about him, are you trying to figure out that he has a bad temper or that he has high blood sugar? Isn't the picture just about his pocket? The money in it!"

Looking at Ranpo Edogawa who wrapped himself in a quilt like a baby silkworm on the tatami and complained angrily, Yosano Akiko frowned slightly and said deliberately:

"But Miss Luanbu, you were with him for almost eight years... Every time you announce your breakup angrily, won't you be coaxed back by Wutiao after a while? Ah, sometimes you even take the initiative to coax Wutiao .”

"No!" Edogawa Ranpo refused to admit that he was so inferior in the past, and directly wrapped his head in the quilt, rolling around on the tatami as if to relieve his anger, and his voice sounded dull through the quilt Stuffed, "I was with him for so long before I completely got rid of him because, because..."

The famous detective, who has always been invincible and confident, couldn't explain why for a long time, and was so anxious that he seemed about to cry in the next second.

Seeing the embarrassment and unwillingness to admit defeat of the detective agency, Akiko Yosano stopped teasing her, and took the initiative to take over the conversation:

"Yes, yes, yes, I know it's because Miss Ranpo is too kind. The cute, kind and invincibly smart Miss Ranpo can't bear to treat him so cruelly, right?"

"That's right! That's it!" With the steps down, Edogawa Luanbu rolled more happily wrapped in a quilt, and he quite agreed with this reason, "If it wasn't for the famous detective who kindly accepted him, he might end up alone La!"

Hearing this, Tanizaki Naomi on the side finally couldn't hold back her laughter, while Izumi Kyouka, who still had a vague understanding of this kind of thing, expressed her intuitive feelings quite bluntly:

"Do you really like him?"

"No!" Edogawa Ranpo immediately frowned again, resolutely denying it, a pair of opal-like green eyes stared round and bright.

The chatterbox of the girls' night chat opened up, and Naomi Tanizaki took the opportunity to ask curiously:

"At the beginning, how did Mr. Gojo confess his love to Miss Ranpo? How did Miss Ranpo judge that she also likes the other party... Will 'super reasoning' be effective in this kind of thing?"

Can love be deduced?

Edogawa Ranpo, who had originally shrunk back into the quilt, stopped still as if the pause button was pressed after hearing this, and then unconsciously buried himself deeper in the quilt... …come into a ball.

She remembered that it was when she was 12 years old.

At that time, she was just an ordinary country girl, yes, ordinary, at that time she thought that all adults in the world were as smart as her parents, but she was stupid because she was just a child ah.

In the midsummer of that year, at night, in the yard of my hometown in the country, under the eaves, she was pillowed on her mother's lap.Feeling the midsummer night breeze with sweltering heat, hearing the jingling of wind chimes hanging from the verandah from time to time, the sweetness of the fruit smoothie just eaten melted in the mouth, as if it hadn’t dissipated yet.

Girls who are about to enter puberty will always naturally have a vague desire to explore and imagine, as well as a secret expectation for "love".

And she doesn't understand anything, because she is stupid, so she has to ask her mother who is an adult, she is better than her father, she must know everything.

【Mom, how can I deduce that I like someone? 】

【Ah, has Ranpo-chan liked any boy? 】

【No, even though I am stupid, the boys in the village are not as smart as me! 】

[Hehe, if one day Ranpo-chan can't use reasoning to get the answer of whether he likes that person, then there is a high probability that he really likes him. 】

【Hmm... Can't use reasoning to get the answer?Because that's what adults are capable of doing?I'm still a kid, so I'm dumb and can't reason it out?Haha, then, when I become an adult, I will be able to do it! 】

[That's right, when Ranpo-chan becomes an adult, she will naturally understand... Love is the most unreasonable thing in this world. 】

At that time, her mother told her so.

Later, when Gojo Satoru confessed his love to her, how did she respond?

Ah, that day, she seemed to say...

[The super reasoning of the famous detective has no effect on you. 】
