I can't lose to my ex today

Chapter69 (finale)

In summer, the sweltering heat doesn't dissipate much even in the countryside, but the tranquility here is more peaceful and comfortable than the hustle and bustle of the city.

In the green mountains and fields, the chirping of summer cicadas can be heard from time to time.

The jingling of bicycles seemed to add a bit of a lively melody to the tranquility. After hearing the jingling, the little squirrels in the grass also swung their big tails and jumped away from the road passing by the bicycle. .

"Ranbu, you are too slow, I'm almost falling asleep."

On the back seat of the tandem bicycle, Gojo Satoru yawned big as if to verify what he said.The hands are folded and pillowed on the back of the head, the eyes under the sunglasses are closed, and the two long legs are placed on the pedals of the bicycle, and they have to cooperate with the short legs in front to pedal the bicycle rhythm.

"That's because you're too heavy!"

Refusing to admit that her physical fitness is not good...she is not those orangutans in the magic world!Ranpo Edogawa, who was snorting and pedaling a bicycle in the front seat, directly announced his resignation, and today's physical training course has not been completed.

Since the regular physical examination of the detective agency last week, it was found that many indicators of her body were facing the crisis of attacking various middle-aged diseases due to long-term involvement in high-calorie snacks and inactivity. She was caught and cast by her boyfriend every day after get off work. The training ground of the high school trained with his students.

...How could she be able to train those little orangutans!The cat is going to be braided!

No matter what, she is going to lie flat and die today!

"I'm out of strength, come on your own!"

Edogawa Ranpo stopped and pedaled his bicycle while talking.

The trainees just quit, and the coach Gojo Satoru... What can Gojo Satoru do? He can only express helplessly but connivingly:

"Okay, okay, it's only today, let's not take this as an example~ Put your feet up and hold on to the handlebars."

Edogawa Ranpo, who understood in seconds, immediately revived the cat and cat, raised his feet forward, and happily waited for the coming human-powered roller coaster.

"Three, two, one... let's go!"

Gojo Satoru exerted a little strength, and the whole bicycle flew across the mountains and fields like an afterimage in an instant, accompanied by the happy laughter of the girl.

"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, Yoho—!"

……

This is an unknown rural village in Mie Prefecture, and it is also the hometown of Ranpo Edogawa, where she lived until she went to Yokohama alone at the age of 14.

There is no feasting, chaos and noise in big cities. There is an endless wilderness among the green trees and green hills, and gurgling streams flow through the wilderness. Occasionally, you will encounter small animals that grow naturally in the field. The breeze is gentle, quiet and peaceful, just like another world .

Perhaps it is such a pure place like a paradise that nourishes a person with a pure heart like Edogawa Ranpo...Walking in the wilderness, Gojo Satoru couldn't help sighing silently in his heart. Only the lowest-level spell spirits were not found.

And Edogawa Ranpo, who has not been back to her hometown for many years, is still very familiar with everything here, as if everything here has not been erased from her memory due to the passage of time, and she walks bouncing around. Be the guide in front.

This is the purest place in her heart. It makes her nostalgic and sad, but she has always been a forward-looking person. She silently keeps this place in the deepest part of her heart as her own secret garden.

Today is the first time she has brought others into this treasure in her heart.

"It's here."

In a public cemetery in the countryside, the villagers who passed away peacefully here are buried.Among them, some may have been all-powerful before their lives, and some may have just lived an ordinary life in obscurity, but no matter what kind of life, what is left here in the end is an ordinary tombstone, and they all chose this kind of silence and serenity The end of the story does not need to be remembered by future generations from time to time, let alone a grand memorial ceremony.

Under one of the tombstones, the Edogawa couple were buried here, and they have been sleeping here quietly for 13 years.

Edogawa walked to the tombstone of his parents in random steps, knelt down to pay respects earnestly, still admiring and attached to the smartest and most powerful person in his heart like a child, and shared what happened to him over the years, I presented a bouquet of wild flowers that I just picked all the way in the wilderness of my hometown.

Gojo Satoru listened quietly to her "acting like a baby" to her parents, and his eyes were full of tenderness that he hadn't noticed before.

After patiently waiting for her to finish acting like a baby to her parents, he also stepped forward and knelt down to pay respects earnestly and solemnly.

"It's our first time meeting Mr. Edogawa and Mrs. Edogawa. My name is Gojo Satoru. I'm Ranpo's boyfriend and Ranpo's future husband."

Ignoring the blue-eyed cat on the side protesting frantically when he said he was going to get married, Gojo Satoru continued his process of meeting his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

"Please rest assured that I am in good health, have a stable job, have a good character, have a good family background, do not have any bad habits, and have been approved by Ranpo's current guardian, Mr. Fukuzawa Yukichi."

The blue-eyed cat protested again... Who is that person you are talking about!How come I don't know it at all!

Gojo Satoru turned his head, blinked at Maomao, and continued talking about the letter of guarantee to his father-in-law and mother-in-law:

"And, most importantly, I like Luanpo very much, I will definitely treat her very well~"

Cough, cough, her parents are much smarter than her, if this guy is lying, he will definitely be discovered immediately, so...Mom and Dad, do you agree?

"There are still many things I want to say to you two, but don't worry, take your time, after all, I will walk with Ranpo for many, many years, we will often visit you, anyway...please rest assured Just hand over Ranbu to me~"

……

At night, the midsummer night in the countryside is as pure as a woven dream, and the stars all over the sky seem to be telling sweet little secrets in the dream.

The old house of the Edogawa family has not been lived in for many, many years. Although the furnishings in the house have been covered with thick dust and the yard is overgrown with weeds, everything is still the same as before.Every piece of furniture is still there, and the old tree in the yard sprouts and grows new leaves year after year, dyeing the lush greenery of the yard in summer.

The wind chimes hanging on the eaves of the porch are still there. Although they are rusty, they are still blown by the summer night breeze from time to time and make a few sounds.

The only thing that has changed is the person who gave Edogawa Ranbu a knee pillow under the eaves.

In the past, it was her mother. She asked her mother how to deduce that she liked someone, and her mother told her that love is the most unreasonable thing in the world.

And now, she was resting on the lap of the person who made her super-reasoning invalid.

The two looked at each other up and down, and their eyes were full of smiles before they knew it.

Then, he slowly bent down, and she felt the temperature of the kiss between her brows.

The moonlight is so beautiful tonight.
