I paid too much for Feiwuluo

Familiar task interface.

The familiar task conditions of shaking hands for 30 seconds and hugging for 10 seconds.

The familiar reminder of "completion of all conditions 2, additional rewards will be issued".

And this time, like every time before.

If you want to complete the mission, you must first figure out who the [Detective] and the [Lonely Swordsman] given in the mission are.

— By the way...

Have you ever deliberately looked for the characters marked in the task prompt before?

Alice scratched her head.

From getting the quest item to completing the quest, I don't seem to have encountered any difficulties...

Although this has something to do with her simply letting go of tasks that she doesn't know how to do, but if you really want to say whether these tasks have caused trouble to Alice, the answer is still "no".

Then why do the task again?

Alice thought for a long time, but still didn't understand.

The depth of thinking is inseparable from the reserve of knowledge. It is also a matter of course that a first-year Xiaodou Ding can't understand the principle of a certain phenomenon that often appears in his world.

She could only turn her attention back to what she had just picked up.

Glasses.

A product of the progress of human civilization.

Many people around Alice wear glasses.

For example, Izumo Kusanagi, Torio Kamamoto, Masaki Ideba, Saburota Bando, Doppo Kunikida, whom she sees almost every day, as well as Fushimi Saru Hiko and Munakata Reishi who are not easy to see.

Although the styles of their glasses are different, and the lens colors almost cover the entire color spectrum, the reasons for wearing glasses are also divided into two categories: "really short-sighted" and "just for looking good", but at least everyone's glasses are It has been on the bridge of the nose for a long time, and Alice has never seen anyone who has run away with the glasses in two steps.

She picked up the glasses on the ground, and before she could take a closer look, she was gently pushed forward by the kid behind: "Why don't you go up?"

"That brother said he would be back soon." Alice explained to the children behind her.

This explanation is not very satisfying, but the children just pursed their lips and said nothing. All kinds of diseases made most of the children in the hospital use their strength to endure and cry bitterly In fact, there is really no energy left to lose your temper.

Fortunately, Edogawa ran back quickly.

Alice heard his cloak whirring in the wind.

"Brother, do you want the money?" Alice asked with great concern.

"Of course." The boy squinted and smiled, and handed the banknotes in front of Alice, "Here, look."

Alice: "..."

Seeing the word "1000" printed on the note, the six-year-old girl fell silent.

She felt that this brother might be a little... stupid.

He obviously looks about the same age as Misaki, but it is absolutely impossible for Misaki to come to play with the rocking car.

Even if Hatta Misaki is just standing aside, waiting for Alice to play with the rocking car, the adolescent boy will blush with embarrassment, and then whisper to Alice to go back to Barbara after playing.

Misaki is so nice, Misaki is so cute.

But the brother in front of him is also very good-looking, so let's be a little bit stupid, Alice doesn't mind being a little more patient.

"Brother, you can only put coins in the rocking car." There is a coin slot on the little lion rocking car. Alice carefully explained to him that even if you stack up 1000 yen bills, you will be very reluctant to put them in.

"Huh? I know." The boy nodded, "But I just want to get to this point."

"So let's discuss it!" He changed the subject.

"With your 100 yen, the two of us will ride the rocking car together~" The boy shook Alice's hand in a friendly way.

He didn't let go quickly, but instead let Alice unlock his profile 1.

【Personal Information 1】

[Name: Edogawa Ranpo]

[Sex: Male]

[camp:? ? ? ]

[identity:? ? ? ]

"Chaos... steps...?"

Does it have anything to do with Mr. Kunikida's "Independence"?She murmured softly.

Although the weight limit of this kind of amusement facility is a bit strict, fortunately, both Edogawa Ranpo and Alice are very slender, and even if there is not much leeway left for a big and a small crowd on the rocking car, it is definitely not enough. As for the weight to the point where the car can't be shaken.

But the problem now is-

"Why do I have to squeeze into a rocking car with my brother?"

Alice was very puzzled.

"Because a Kali Kali brand cheese stick costs 500 yen." The young man stretched out a hand and spread his five fingers, "If I exchange the 1000 yen for change, and then use 100 yen to ride the rocking car—— Have you learned addition and subtraction?"

Alice nodded: "I have learned it!"

"Okay, then tell me, what is 1000 minus 100?"

Alice: "1000 minus 100..."

Mr. Kunikida only taught them the four arithmetic operations within 100, and the topics related to the huge number 1000 belong to the knowledge blind spot of the first-grade children.

She scratched her head, according to 100-10=90, asked a little uncertainly: "Nine, zero...?" She dared not say it was nine hundred.

Fortunately, she guessed right. The answer of 1000-100 is really to add a 90 after 0.

"For 1000 yen, you can buy two Kali Kali brand cheese sticks, one for you and one for me. In this way, we can not only play the rocking car, but also have small snacks."

The suggestion made by Edogawa Ranpo was wonderful, and Alice was extremely moved, but she was a good child who listened to every word of Kusanagi Izumo in her heart.

The unprovoked kindness of strangers does not need to be feared, but it needs to be vigilant.

"That pair of glasses is very important to me." Probably seeing the reason for her hesitation, Luanbu pointed to the frame that Alice was holding. There were many old scratches on the frame, but the lens Black-rimmed glasses that have been wiped clean, "As a thank you for helping Lord Ranpo find something, a cheese stick is too shabby."

He spoke in a strange tone, rising and falling for a while, but fortunately Alice understood the meaning of "the glasses I picked up belonged to him", and obediently returned the glasses.

"Don't accidentally lose it like this in the future." Alice said to him, "It will be very sad if you lose something important and can't find it."

"You're right." The young man replied, "But this is the first time I've 'lost' my glasses."

He took the black-rimmed glasses that Alice handed over with both hands, and instead of putting them into the hidden pocket inside the cloak, he placed them directly on the bridge of his nose.

Then, the pair of eyes that had been squinting slowly opened.

Alice saw a lush green in it.

It looks like a luxuriant jungle and a quiet lake in spring.

Edogawa Ranbu quietly stared at the childish and harmless little girl in front of him, and after a few seconds, he suddenly pulled away from the state of looking down on everything in the world like a god.

He took off his glasses and let out an inarticulate "huh".

The temptation of crackling cheese sticks was too great, coupled with the constant urging of other children behind her, Alice finally agreed to the suggestion of the strange brother-take the rocking car first, and then buy cheese sticks after the end.

The width of the seat of the little lion rocking car is no problem to fit two children, but if you want to fit a teenager and a girl, you can only say that this group of human beings who don’t have AC numbers in their hearts are purely embarrassing. They can only sing "If you feel happy Just clap your hands" the little lion.

However, Edogawa Ranpo, who insisted on going his own way, still sat on it. He was squeezed into the small seat and twisted his body uncomfortably.

Adhering to the bad quality of human beings who "everything is coming", Edogawa Ranpo gestured a little at the last gap left in the seat of the rocking car - if you squeeze it, you should still be able to hold another quilt An emaciated little girl.

Sitting upright, Edogawa Ranbu happily patted the empty seat beside him, and then reached out to grab the little girl who was struggling to climb into the seat.

The action of throwing coins into the coin slot is inexplicably full of ritual. Every time Edogawa Ranpo has to compromise on public transportation, the only thing he can no longer give in is to let himself go into the tram gate and bus fare box Put in coupons or small change.

But the little girl sitting next to him didn't seem to understand this simple happiness, so Edogawa Ranpo asked her which 100 yen coin she wanted, and threw it in by herself.

After the coin collided to trigger the internal mechanical switch and made a "clang" sound, the overwhelmed lion cub still tenaciously and tremblingly sang the happy clapping song.

The original version of this popular children's song is said to be in Spanish. Alice has heard it twice on TV, but each time she can only hear the first sentence - she changes channels very quickly every time, as long as the remote control is on In her hands, commercials and early childhood education programs that Alice thought were extremely boring would not play on the Barbara TV for more than five seconds.

The little lion sings: If you feel happy, clap your hands.

Alice clapped her hands along with the lyrics.

The lyrics of the next few sentences are basically the same. Just when Alice began to feel bored, there were bursts of shouts among the other children guarding the rocking car, as if a flock of pigeons cooing comfortably and peacefully were being rampaged The human beings who entered it were disturbed like that.

Before Alice could find the source of the commotion, the next second, she felt suddenly hugged by a pair of hands pinching her armpit.

She looked left and right, and finally turned her head behind her back to see Zhou Fangzun's gloomy face.

"What are you doing?" Alice kicked her legs, compared to the time when she first came to Barbara, she was very used to being picked up so suddenly.

Because she is small and light, except when Alice asks to walk by herself, everyone in the Barbara still prefers to carry her around—except for Anna——Anna also wants to carry her little sister. Carrying and hugging, but she is not tall enough and not strong enough, so she can only watch helplessly every time.

Zhou Fangzun didn't say much, just turned her over silently, and then put her down facing him: "Didn't Kusanagi teach you?"

Alice: "?"

The blue eyes blinked: "What?"

Zhou Fangzun frowned and clicked his tongue: "Stay away from such suspicious strange men of unknown origin." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Jiang who was sitting still on the rocking car, and seemed to be vowing to finish the song. Togawa ran in disorder.

"Isn't it okay to sit in rows and play the rocking car?" Alice asked.

"No." The dark-faced Scarlet King categorically gave a negative answer, and his tone unconsciously became a little more serious.

Although he probably knew why Zhou Fangzun was angry, but if Izumo was here... Izumo would definitely not kill him.

You Chai whimpered aggrieved by being spoiled by the second head of barking dance Luo. She couldn't adapt to the somewhat direct and unrestrained education method in front of her for the time being, so she immediately lost her temper.

Zhou Fangzun planned to take her away and come back to play later, but Alice's little hand suddenly tightly grasped the corner of Edogawa Ranpo's cape sitting on the rocking car.

The cloak is a good cloak, and the quality is quite good. Edogawa Ranpo was strangled by the neckline of his cloak, and he barely supported the head of the little lion's rocking car, so he didn't let himself be dragged down unexpectedly...

"May I ask what's the matter?"

Fukuzawa Yukichi, who was watching from a distance, immediately stepped forward when he saw this. He stretched out his hand and pulled the cloak out of Alice's claws, but Zhou Fangzun was more concerned about his silent and quick approach to the matter itself. .

Zhou Fangzun: "..."

The third monarch looked at the man in front of him without any scruples.

Just when the silence was about to make the air gradually stagnate, Alice, who was held in the arms of the Red King, let out a sudden "wow".

"Respect! Respect!"

From the day when the title Xiangxiangzun came out, Alice seldom referred to the Red King as "Smelly Smelly Zun".

But it’s impossible for her to call him “Xiangxiangzun” all the time, after all, it’s a complimenting title, so I decided to compromise and call him “MIKOTO” with everyone—Zhou Fangzun really wants to thank her for this decision.

"...Why?" Zhou Fangzun looked down at her.

"This uncle's hair! It's white!"

Zhou Fangzun: "...um."

"Is it because of being dyed?" She thought she whispered, but her voice was actually quite loud, at least even Edogawa Ranpo, who had an ordinary physique, could hear it clearly.

"No, it's natural." Edogawa Ranpo thoughtfully replied to his playmates who lined up for him in the rocking car.

"Ah! Is it natural?" Alice's eyes widened in surprise, "Brother, is this uncle your father?"

"Yes."

"Brother, why isn't your hair white?"

"Your hair isn't red either." Edogawa Ranpo glanced at the third royal holding her red hair.

"Because Takashi is not the real father who gave birth to me." Alice said, "That's why the hair color is different. Takashi is only 22 years old. Izumo said that in the 16st century, the number of people who become fathers at the age of 21 is comparable to At the level of giant pandas."

Zhou Fangzun: "..."

Edogawa Ranpo: "Well, then, you need to change the name you call me."

Alice: "Huh?"

"I'm 24 years old this year. If your father is only 22 years old, I'm two years older than your father—" Edogawa Ranbu straightened his cloak, "According to the rules, you want to call me uncle of."

Alice: "?!!"

"Brother, are you 24 years old?!" Alice's mouth opened so wide that Zhou Fangzun almost wanted to stuff an egg into it.

After she shouted this sentence, the whole person became stunned.

Then, Alice stared blankly at Zhou Fangzun, then at Edogawa Ranpo, and after repeating this action three times, she turned her eyes to the silent, said to be Jiang Togawa Ranpo brother's father.

Zun...how could he be younger than Brother Edogawa...

In a daze, Alice remembered what those nurse sisters who often came to rounds asked her to inquire about.

They asked Zun if he had a girlfriend at first, and Alice said no, and they were happy.

Although after knowing that they were Zun's daughters, they left with a bitter face.

But thanks to them, the fact that "Zun is a bachelor without a girlfriend" was deeply imprinted in Alice's memory.

Is it...

The reason Zun doesn't have a girlfriend...is it because he's too old...

Zhou Fang Alice fell into deep thought.
