This famous detective is too cute

Yuuki was caught up by Edogawa Ranpo before he returned home, it was rare for a detective to not ride a rookie but to drive on his own, he seldom exercised, he ran a little out of breath, then looked at the figure in front of him, A hand stretched out.

Yuuki was grabbed by the arm, and she staggered backwards, thinking she had encountered some strange person.

She took a few steps back, bumped into the person holding her arm, and managed to stand still.

"Who?"

Because he almost fell down, with a little panic on his face, when he turned his head and saw Edogawa's random steps, he really had a cardiac arrest.

Her pupils constricted violently, then quickly dilated.

"that……"

She looked at Edogawa Ranpo who suddenly grabbed her arm, and almost blurted out his name.

It was only quickly stopped by reason.

"Excuse me... is there something wrong?"

Even though her heart was beating like a drum, Yuuki still maintained the appearance of a stranger, with a little surprise and a little trepidation.

"you……"

Edogawa Ranbuzai looked at her carefully, opened his half-closed eyes, and repeatedly looked up and down her face, her body, the ingredients she was carrying, and the food she was trying to keep calm but Still leaking a lot of information.

"I don't know why, but the detective knows you."

Edogawa Ranpo is Edogawa Ranpo after all, Yuuki's disguise has no effect at all.

He still saw the truth at a glance.

It's just that unlike his previous experience, the truth he saw made him feel very strange.

He knew Yuuki, knew that she was a pastry chef, and knew that she could make delicious cakes.

It's the kind of small cake that looks plain but suits his taste very much.

And, he knew very well, she was an idiot.

Edogawa let go of Shiraishi Yuuki in a random step, was silent for a while, and then slowly said to her,

"I want to eat cake."

Hearing Edogawa Ranpo's words, Atsushi Nakajima staggered behind him.

He was still very nervous just now, thinking that Mr. Ranpo encountered some dangerous person to chase him so eagerly, seeing Yuuki's harmless face, he couldn't believe it, and then he secretly raised his guard, thinking that he had encountered some kind of acting skills God, I was fully prepared for battle, but I heard this sentence.

"Mr. Ranpo, you are so rude!"

"Sorry, Miss..."

Atsushi Nakajima, who was eager to make amends for Edogawa Ranpo, didn't expect that Yuuki was stunned for a moment after hearing this sentence, lowered his head suddenly, and smiled happily when he raised it again, "Okay."

Edogawa Ranpo is Edogawa Ranpo.

Do not forget the original intention.

She's also kind of... wanting to make a cake.

"I don't know how to make much, and the materials are not very sufficient, so I can't make the cute and delicious cakes in Akakubo Momo shop." Knowing Edogawa Ranpo's purpose, she said something in advance, and then Ranpo Edogawa retorted without thinking, "How could the cake you made not taste good?"

"...Ara, you can really talk."

Hearing Edogawa Ranpo's rebuttal, Yuuki froze for a moment, and smiled even more happily.

It wasn't the first time she heard Edogawa Ranpo's evaluation of her cake, but what she didn't expect was that Edogawa Ranpo's evaluation of herself would be so high.

This guy is the unexpectedly straightforward type when facing strangers...

He is very arrogant in front of his own people.

Atsushi Nakajima watched the communication between Ranpo Edogawa and Yuuki, and felt that the two had a tacit understanding that he couldn't describe, which was a bit weird, as if he shouldn't be standing here.

He's like an extra light bulb.

It's just... Edogawa Ranpo's performance is really weird. In order to protect the giant panda of the armed detective agency, Atsushi Nakajima decided to stand still and be a shining light bulb.

What if, no one can tell, whether Mr. Ranpo may be recruited or something...

The cake that Yuuki made for Edogawa Ranpo was very simple, it was the small hard cream cake that she supplied to Nekoya Western Food Restaurant.

At first, she made this cake to match the coffee beans specially selected by the owner of the "Whirlpool" cafe. Later, it developed into a separate product, and after several improvements, it was loved by the gods of other worlds linked to the cat house. This petit four with stiff cream has managed to become a regular in the store.

Yuuki has made this cake too many times, she is completely used to the method, and can make it very well even with her eyes closed.

It's just that when she thought that this cake was made for Edogawa Ranpo, she habitually added an extra portion of sugar and added fresh lemon juice.

This is Edogawa Rampo's favorite taste.

When the cake was served, she gave Atsushi Nakajima a copy.

This makes the little tiger who feels like a light bulb very grateful.

He even took the small cake with teary hands, "Thank you...Miss."

He habitually opened his mouth to call out that name, but he couldn't call out her name after opening his mouth for a long time.

"Just call me Yuuki."

"Okay, Miss Yuuki."

Edogawa Ranbu looked at the small cake brought in front of him, and clenched the fork in his hand, as if hesitating a little, as if he had encountered some difficulty.

After pausing for a few seconds, he still stuffed the small piece of cake with the fork into his mouth.

As expected, the small cake of hard cream does not melt in the mouth because the cream on the top is solid, but the cake embryo on the lower layer is soft and elastic, with the fragrance and sweetness of lemon, and the cream in the mouth is like chocolate. The temperature of the mouth melts slightly, and slides into the stomach with fragrance and sweetness.

"delicious."

Edogawa Ranpo tasted the cake that should have been tasted for the first time but had already been expected in his mind, his blue eyes were dazed, as if he had realized something.

He silently accelerated the progress of tasting the cake.

"It's great if you like it."

Yuuki looked at Ranpo Edogawa with a smile, eating up the cake like a little black cat who had been hungry for a long time and wanted to empty his plate.

Edogawa Ranpo knocked down the whole small cake quickly, then raised his head and stared at Yuuki.

"The little idiot is really a little idiot..."

He sighed softly.

"Ok?"

Yuuki blinked, but couldn't hear what he was saying clearly.

"The detective is speaking," Edogawa Ranpo's voice gradually became clear

, "Idiots are indeed idiots."

"Thinking that if you leave without saying goodbye, you can evade responsibility, thinking that hiding in a shell can turn you into a snail."

"What do you think you are doing?!"

Edogawa Ranbu became more and more angry, he put down the fork in his hand, stood up and stared at Yuki Shiraishi, those sharp eyes were rarely vicious.

"Since you know you're an idiot, show your sincerity and ask a detective for advice!"

"The famous detective exists to protect you idiots!"

"Why, why don't you ask the famous detective for help?!"

"……Well!"

Yuuki covered her head, because Edogawa Ranpo's current state looked very irritable, and it was obvious that she wanted to hit her on the head furiously as if she was drunk before.

"you this……"

Seeing Yuuki's actions, Edogawa became even more angry at Ranpo.

He took several deep breaths, then put his hand down angrily.

"Where's the guy behind you?!"

He was referring to the god behind Shiraishi Yuki.

"Take away his memory without the master's permission, this kind of thing is really stupid!"

"A famous detective must find him to settle accounts!"

"...Ranpo-san, what are you talking about..."

Seeing Edogawa Ranpo's agitated emotions, Atsushi Nakajima hastily stretched out his hand to stop him from scaring Yuuki.

"Take away memory, this kind of thing..." Atsushi Nakajima wanted to say that such a ridiculous thing could not happen, but he was stunned in the middle of speaking.

There was a vague memory of this in his mind.

It seems that someone...has the ability to erase other people's memories...

He himself seemed to have been tricked, and was rescued with the help of someone later...

Hey, who is this person...?

Atsushi Nakajima hesitated so much, but he couldn't stop Edogawa Ranpo.

The famous detective was so angry that his chest heaved and he sputtered at Yuuki, in exchange for Yuuki's bewildered expression.

He grabbed Yuuki's cheek, gritted his teeth,

"It's my fault, and I have nothing to say to idiots."

He stared at Yuuki with those green eyes, but Yuuki didn't feel the slightest bit of fear, instead he felt that those eyes flashing with anger made this famous detective with furious hair look...

so cute?

"I want to see him."

Edogawa Ranpo said something that surprised Yuuki, her light golden pupils slightly widened, obviously she realized who Edogawa Ranpo wanted to see.

"...that lord, isn't it..." Anyone can see it.

"Otherwise, a detective can also try to find him on his own initiative."

With his memory erased, it's okay for him to forget the existence of Yuki Shiraishi and the gods. Once he knows this, it's not easy for him to forget it.

Don't forget, Edogawa Ranpo is the number one detective in the world!

The truth he wants to know, the world always presents for him!

"You want to meet me?"

Before Yuuki could say anything more, the voice of a god suddenly came to mind in the minds of the two present.

He was not angry because of Edogawa Ranpo's disrespectful attitude, but was curious instead.

It was like looking at a kitten who dared to show its little paws to him, with a little interest and a certain adult atmosphere.

"The memory of this idiot, I want it back."

Pointing at Yuuki, Edogawa made a request to the god in a blunt manner.

"Although I have been able to deduce what this idiot has done, the detective still intends to get back what belongs to him."

"What are you going to do when you come back?"

The god did not veto Edogawa Ranpo's request, but asked another question out of curiosity.

"after all……"

This is a problem that even the gods can't solve.

"I don't know, and I'm not sure there will be a solution, but the detective only knows that it's impossible to get things done without getting this memory back."

Edogawa Ranpo raised his head and stared at the void, as if he really saw that illusory figure.

"If you refuse, a detective will not give up."

"Okay."

The god did not refuse as everyone guessed, but readily agreed to Edogawa Ranpo's request.

To be honest, Edogawa Ranpo was also on the "Fate" watch list, he was very curious about what solution the other party would choose after knowing Yuuki's problem, or he was still helpless.

The god returned Edogawa Ranpo's memory about Shiraishi Yuki to him in a very eloquent manner, and then quietly waited there for the other party to receive the memory.

"The number one detective in the world, I am looking forward to your answer."

Ranpo Edogawa took out his glasses from his pocket and put them on, even though he already knew that he was an ordinary person without any supernatural powers, and this pair of glasses was just a prop that President Yukichi Fukuzawa used to comfort himself. But it has become his habit to wear glasses when he needs to think seriously.

"The solution is very simple," Edogawa Ranpo looked at the empty figure through the glass lens.

"Just ask her to change to another guardian."

"How can a little idiot have the ability to change the fate of others, I am the one who really takes the initiative to change the fate of others."

"So, just keep her by my side."

Edogawa Ranpo held out his hand to Yuuki.

"A detective will be in charge of protecting her."

"Is that all right?"

After saying this sentence, the god was silent for a few seconds, and then asked slowly.

"Do you know... what it means to say this by yourself?"

Edogawa Ranpo believes that he has the ability to stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods.

He even thinks he is stronger than gods.

"of course."

"Don't forget, this place...is a human world!"

Even fate cannot make human beings bow their heads.

"Ah……"

Hearing Edogawa Ranpo's words, the god actually laughed.

He looked at Yuuki, and actively asked her thoughts.

"What do you think, Yuuki?"

"If you choose to go back, you will be tied to this man for the rest of your life."

"He said he would drive instead of me to protect your rights."

"Can you trust him?"

Yuuki was silent for a long time, looking at Edogawa Ranpo with hesitation in his eyes.

She wasn't sure if Edogawa Ranpo knew what it meant when he said it.

Bear her fate?

This is something that only gods can do, and the man in front of him is just a detective with a baby face, cute and arrogant, and a clever mind that no one can match.

Is an ordinary person.

Edogawa Ranpo is just an ordinary person.

Although he is courageous.

Yuki Shiraishi's rationality has been sober and calm in sorting out a series of conclusions in her mind, and she clearly knows that she should not choose to gamble, she has never been a good gambler.

However, there was a surge of enthusiasm in her eyes, and she trembled, wanting to stretch out her hand towards Edogawa.

It's just that when the hand is stretched halfway, it can no longer be lifted.

She didn't want to put too much pressure on herself, and she didn't want to put heavy shackles on the other party's future.

"I'm in trouble."

She murmured, and slowly put her hand down again.

The moment he put it down, he was forcibly held by a famous detective with quick eyesight and quick hands.

"Okay, the detective has received your commission."

"This commission, a famous detective will complete it properly."

"For a lifetime."

"..."

Although he didn't know what happened, Atsushi Nakajima, who always felt that he had encountered a big event, didn't hear the voice of the gods. He just watched Ranpo Edogawa exchange a few words with Miss Yuki, whom he met newly today. Then the two of them said something vaguely, and then...

"Guo, Mu, Tian, ​​Mr., Sheng!"

Seeing Edogawa Ranpo holding Miss Yuuki's hand, Atsushi Nakajima couldn't bear it any longer, and called Kunikida Doppo directly in front of everyone present.

Then with the loudest voice of my life,

"Mr. Ranpo, I proposed to a strange lady—"

Then he was not surprised to hear the armed detective agency on the other end of the phone who was immediately turned upside down because of his words.

"what?!"

"What did Mr. Ranpo do?!"

"Are my ears broken or my brain broken?!"

"Hey, Mr. Ranpo is also at this age, I didn't expect him to be a more blatant and direct man than me..."

After a period of turmoil, the phone was handed over to Fukuzawa Yukichi, the president of the Armed Detective Agency.

His voice sounded as low as ever through the phone, but his voice fluctuated a little due to radio waves.

"Where is Luanbu?"

"President! That...he is...we are at that lady's house now."

"Interrupt, let Ranbu listen to the phone."

President Fukuzawa Yukichi took a deep breath on the other end of the phone, as if he was calming his messy mood.

"Mr. Ranpo, the president's phone number..."

Atsushi Nakajima cautiously approached and interrupted the two people's staring, then handed the mobile phone to Edogawa Ranpo, and carefully peeked at Yuuki.

Seeing that there was no displeasure on the other party's face, Xiao Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

Edogawa ran out his other hand to take the phone and put it next to his ear.

"President."

"Well," Fukuzawa Yukichi on the other end of the phone didn't know where to ask, or even what to ask, he was silent for a very short time, and asked in a deep voice.

"Have you already made up your mind?"

"of course."

Although Edogawa Ranpo didn't realize what Fukuzawa Yukichi was asking, but he understood the seriousness in the other person's words, so he responded with equal solemnity.

"This kind of awareness can't overwhelm a famous detective."

"Very well, when you come back, I will be in charge of visiting."

As Edogawa Ranpo's guardian before he was a minor and his current boss, Fukuzawa Yukichi is ready to visit Yuuki's family as a parent.

"...uh... okay?"

Edogawa Ranpo finally realized something at this moment, but he didn't think there was any problem.

The little idiot will be bound by himself for the rest of his life, is it possible that he will marry someone else?

How should I put it, although the process is a bit tortuous, the end result is still the same.

Edogawa Ranpo nodded, not thinking there was anything wrong with his thoughts.

"...No, your progress is too fast, right?"

In the eyes of the bystander Atsushi Nakajima, it was probably that Ranpo Edogawa approached a young lady on the street, then ate the cake that the young lady made for him, and then proposed to her excitedly...

……

No, he also ate this cake, didn't he get drugged?

In the end, Nakajima Atsushi could only sigh with emotion, this love came so strangely.

Yuuki knew that she should be very moved at the moment, but why... In addition to being moved, there was also a strange emotion in her heart, which made her want to say loudly,

"Grass!"
