"Although I don't know why, it feels like his housekeeper doesn't like me very much."

After Holmes watched William leave with a smile, he rubbed his chin and muttered to himself in confusion.

"..."

Is that a disliked look?

That is obviously the disgust of seeing people with malicious intentions ruining the vigilance of his master.

It seems that Mr. Lewis did not like to see Mr. Holmes very much.

Shiraishi Yuki is experienced with this kind of look, and her family's big brother Katsumi also often looks at Edogawa Ranpo with this kind of look, but it may be because he often comes to his home, so he gradually learned to ignore it.

When she confirmed her relationship with Edogawa Ranpo and was brought home by him, Brother Katsumi seemed to be looking at him a little bit...

"It's because your character is too unreliable, so people have doubts about you."

John Watson is an upright, gentle and tolerant man, so he has a good relationship with Sherlock Holmes, who seems to be quite out of tune.

He still doesn't know his own problems?

If you want him to say, it's because Mr. Moriarty is too good-natured, that's why Holmes targeted him.

"Since you have found each other, what are you going to do next?"

After Holmes watched the carriage of the Moriarty family leave completely, Holmes turned around and asked Shiraishi Yuuki and Edogawa Ranpo, although in his opinion, these two people who appeared here inexplicably might live together nor.

"Don't worry, I should be able to find a place to live."

Although Yuki Shiraishi's reasoning ability was not as good as those of others, she could still grasp the meaning behind Holmes' words. She smiled and pointed to a string of necklaces around her neck.

Plus a string of diamond earrings on the ears.

"These should be enough to change to the temporary residence of me and Mr. Ranpo."

There are not many trinkets on her body, but they are enough.

Although I don't know what kind of thinking Shiraishi Katsumi and Mikasa Gongzhi Keiko had in the first place to match her with these little things that are not too expensive but very easy to sell, it is probably because of the consideration that if she encounters any problems alone It is possible to exchange a shelter at that time.

Now it comes in handy.

I just don't know how long I will stay in this world, whether the things she replaced with these things are enough to live here for a while...

"Need not."

Edogawa Ranpo's eyes behind the lens were fixed on a passing person, and he suddenly walked towards him quickly.

"You, yes, I'm talking about you—"

He took the initiative to find the other party, stopped a certain frowning man, said a few words in the other's ear, and then stretched out his hand under the surprised eyes of the other party.

The other party was shocked with a trace of respect, and quickly took out a key from his arms, and put it in Edogawa Ranpo's hand.

"Then please."

He finished speaking respectfully and in a low voice, and walked away quickly as if he was relieved.

"Here."

Edogawa walked briskly back in front of Shiraishi Yuuki, and stretched out his hand towards her.

"This is our future residence."

"..."

The people watching his actions were silent for a while, and it took a long time before Dr. Watson seemed to find his own voice.

"what??!!"

what happened?

Why do they seem to have collective amnesia? !

Just watching Edogawa walk in front of a stranger and move his lips, the other party respectfully handed him a key of unknown function? !

"It's nothing, it's just that the man suspects that the house he bought at a low price is haunted." Edogawa shrugged wildly, seeing Shiraishi Yuuki failed to get his key, he took the initiative to stuff the key into her hand.

"The man is a foreigner. He originally wanted to invest in real estate here, but he didn't expect the seller to deceive him and sold him a haunted house at a low price. It is said that the house is a haunted house, so the man is very happy. Worrying about how to get rid of this house."

"He is not short of money, but he just feels unlucky, so I talked to him a few times and told him that there is a way to solve the problem of haunting, so he was very grateful and gave it to us."

Edogawa ranpo talked and laughed, showing two small canine teeth, which looked so cute.

"……what……"

Although I don't know what Edogawa Ranpo said in order to successfully persuade the man to give him the key, and I don't know whether the other party really agreed to give Edogawa Ranpo the house, but just look at the confidence of the other party I can't help being unaffected by her appearance.

Although Dr. Watson still looked unbelievable, Mr. Holmes, after a little surprise, quickly put it behind him, and was more interested in how Edogawa Ranpo deduced all this.

"You said that the man was in a hurry and seemed to be in trouble. I don't deny that, but how did you find out that he bought a haunted house?" Holmes was very interested in how strong Edogawa Ranpo's reasoning ability was. to what extent.

"Isn't that something that can be seen at a glance?" Edogawa Ranpo instead asked confidently, and he even looked at Holmes with doubts, "It's fine if you don't see it, you idiots, can't you? ?”

"...Sorry, I can't see it."

Dr. Watson has always been a good person who is very flattering, otherwise he would not have gotten along so well with the difficult Mr. Holmes.

So before Mr. Holmes was provoked, he spoke first.

"Can you please explain it to us?"

"I really can't help it...the detective will come and explain it to you..."

Edogawa Ranpo wanted to show a helpless expression and slowly explained to everyone. If it wasn't because he already knew that his reasoning ability was not a supernatural ability, he might have to use "this is the detective's supernatural ability" right now. —Superreasoning” has been brought up.

After all, this is something he can see at a glance, and it is difficult for him to understand why adults are pretending to be stupid.

Shiraishi Yuki didn't listen to Edogawa Ranpo's explanation, she just lowered her head, looked at the key that was stuffed into her hand by the other party, and couldn't help showing a smile.

"Is this... an invitation to live together?"

Whispering softly, others didn't hear clearly, but Edogawa Ranbu heard it clearly, but he didn't deny it, he just pressed his peaked cap, and firmly covered his slightly red ears with his hair.

"So, there shouldn't be any problem with that 'haunted' house, right?" Shiraishi Yuki asked Mrs. Hudson for the address of the haunted house, and took the initiative to lead Xiaolu Chi Edogawa towards their house. The future residence is moving forward, and now I have time to ask questions.

"No problem." Edogawa Ranpo gave her a reassuring answer.

"It's just ghosts."

Edogawa Ranpo blinked, the glasses he was wearing hadn't been taken off yet.

"This is no problem for you."

He turned his head and glanced at Shiraishi Yuki, and gave an affirmative answer.

"So... are you going to ask me to exorcise ghosts?"

"No, we didn't want to live there all the time." Edogawa shook his head randomly,

"Just ignore 'them'."

Shiraishi Yuuki followed Edogawa to a small three-story building that looked a bit old, took out the key and inserted it into the keyhole, and quickly opened the door.

She stood at the door and looked inside, but she didn't notice any bad sight, nor did she have any bad premonition.

She tentatively stretched out her hand toward the door, and her fingers quickly touched an invisible thing, a furry, beating creature.

"hello?"

She didn't feel any hostility from that furry thing, and even felt that it was very soft and warm to the touch.

She whispered to what she touched, and the little thing disappeared from her touch as if frightened.

"gone."

Shiraishi Yuuki turned her head and showed a regretful expression to Edogawa Ranpo.

"So, it shouldn't be something bad?" She asked Edogawa Ranpo, who nodded, "It's not something bad."

"So we can live here until we find a way to go back."

He nodded, choosing this house was not without his own considerations.

"Three floors, similar to my store in Yokohama, if possible..." She found several old ovens in the kitchen on the first floor. Although they looked like they hadn't been used for a while, they should be able to Normal use.

It's just that such an old and bulky oven is a test of her skills.

"You can try to make some desserts... although the materials are not as convenient as at home..."

After Shiraishi Yuki and Edogawa Ranpo recovered their memories, they already knew that this era was not the time zone they should have been in, but 100 years ago, in Inilis, London at that time.

"If it was our world, there should be members of the 'Clock Tower' at this time, but this world does not have supernatural powers." Edogawa Ranpo has roughly analyzed the world through his own observations after recovering his memory. "So, this is a world of completely ordinary people without any supernatural powers."

"So, when we come to this world, what we have to do should have nothing to do with supernatural powers."

"No matter who sent us here, He definitely doesn't want us to do anything with strength beyond ordinary people..."

Shiraishi Yuki nodded, "After all, Mr. Ranpo and I are ordinary people without supernatural powers."

After saying this, I saw Edogawa Ranpo looking at her incomprehensibly.

Forget it himself, how did Shiraishi Yuki figure out that she is an ordinary person without any abilities?

As far as the fate of the "Son of God" is concerned, is this overwhelming fortune available to ordinary people? !

Isn't this girl really mocking herself? !

Shiraishi Yuki later dealt with his pair of earrings through the kind-hearted Mr. Watson in exchange for some money needed for survival.

Although this small three-story building solved the problem of "living" for her and Ranpo Edogawa, other problems still needed to be solved urgently.

It would take too much manpower and time to clean the room, and it was impossible for her and Edogawa Ranpo to waste time in such a place, so she decisively spent some money and hired someone to help clean the room.

Of course, because of the well-known "Haunted House", she spent some extra money.

But that's okay, it's also a good choice to solve the trouble just by spending a little more money.

After all, this shows that there are still people in this world who are willing to pay for their lives.

Yuuki Shiraishi lowered her head slightly, deliberately ignoring some helpers who were winking at each other after cleaning the room and paying the bill.

"How many guests are there tonight?"

Whispering softly, she took out the sweet cloud cake from the oven and put it on the table, deliberately leaving one on the stove. For a moment, her fingers seemed to touch the furry existence again.

"As a tenant, even if there are unexpected guests disturbing you in the middle of the night, you should treat them well, right?"

She stretched out her finger, scratched the little furry thing instinctively, and smiled.

Edogawa walked downstairs following the scent of the small cake. He walked to the living room, watched Yuki Shiraishi bring out the cloud cake, took a piece with quick eyes and hands, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed happily.

"How many people will be there tonight?"

Shiraishi Yuki watched his movements with a smile, and asked with a smile.

"Probably just a few small thieves, and the others who have brains will wait and see. After tonight, they probably won't come."

As he spoke, he glanced at the kitchen again, and the small cake that Yuki Shiraishi had placed on the stove just now had disappeared.

"I hope our cohabitants can play their due role."
