This famous detective is too cute

"Pink Venus, it's you."

When she heard Edogawa Ranpo say these words, Shiraishi Yuki was not unimpressed, but when she saw Edogawa Ranpo clip a piece of pink hair out of her hair as if by magic It wasn't until the gemstones that I realized why the other party said that.

"...Speaking of which, the person I met just now is..."

The voice suspected to be Kudo Shinichi turned out to be that Kaitou Kidd, and the other party came to him unknowingly while the power was off...

"Is it a temporary idea?"

But I soon realized that my visit to Pink Venus was not a scheduled itinerary, but also a temporary idea, so it was impossible for Kaito Kidd to predict that she would appear in the museum at that time.

and so……

He originally had other goals, but after seeing her appear, he changed his mind temporarily, hid the gem on her body, and let her take it out of the museum.

"should be."

Edogawa took a closer look at the gem hidden in Shiraishi Yuki's hair, and quickly threw it back.

"But a detective can't read gems, and he doesn't know whether this piece is real or fake."

"Wait, wait, Mr. Ranpo, be careful!"

Knowing the value of Pink Venus through the newspaper given by Ranpo Edogawa, Atsushi Nakajima was so frightened by the gems thrown by the famous detective that his hands and feet turned into tigers. He stretched out two furry The paw carefully held the gemstone on the flesh pad, and heaved a sigh of relief looking at the pink gemstone still shining with a dazzling halo under the night.

"I didn't find it."

It was only later that I realized that Abel, who had secretly put the gem on Shiraishi Yuuki while the phantom thief was approaching Shiraishi Yuuki in a panic, had a very ugly face.

Even though the strange thief was not malicious, he just hoped that Shiraishi Yuki, a visitor who knew nothing about the plan, would be an assistant, but for Abel Knightrod, who claimed to be half a bodyguard, he could not find the strange thief. It's really not right to make such a small move.

Fortunately, the Kaitou had no malicious intentions, but what if someone else approached Yuuki Shiraishi with the same means?

Can he react?

Can he judge who is unintentional and who is intentional?

Relying on his being a vampire ghost hunter, he watched the entire Kaitou Kidd performance with his superhuman night vision ability, but he didn't notice what he did after he put the necklace back into the pocket of the Nakamori police department. In his heart, he only thought that Yuuki Shiraishi inadvertently coincided with the retreat route of the phantom thief when retreating, and did not consider other reasons at all, which made him feel very frustrated.

"I... sure enough..."

Not suitable to be a protector...

He can't even do this level of vigilance. He really has no talent in protecting human beings.

Compared to a protector, he is certainly more suitable to be a destroyer... huh...

"Abel?" Noticing that his employee's face was ashen and looked very ugly, Shiraishi Yuki called him, but he was not as scared as he was.

"He's playing tricks." Following Shiraishi Yuki's eyes, Edogawa covered his mouth and yawned. I am too lazy to persuade.

If it can be persuaded, there will not be so few smart people in this world.

Thinking of this, he felt sleepy for no reason.

"Newcomer, return the gem quickly, and then we will go home."

Edogawa ranpo unceremoniously ordered Nakajima Atsushi, just like his predecessor Tanizaki Junichiro.

After all, Tanizaki Junichiro and Nakajima Atsushi have the same status in his heart.

They are all running errands, but one is a skilled worker who is already familiar with the work content, and the other is a slow newcomer who is very strong but is too thin, causing his back to hurt.

"Eh? Shall I return it?" Atsushi Nakajima, holding the pink Venus in his hands and gazing at this precious gem with admiration, was startled when he heard Edogawa Ranpo's order, "But..."

But he sent the gem back so fart, wouldn't he be arrested by the police as the assistant of Kaitou Kidd?

Although he is here to deliver gems...

But anyway, the gems are in his hands...

"Abel, you and Dun Jun should send the things back together, just explain to him."

Shiraishi Yuki looked at the vampire hunter who seemed to be out of his mind because of something on his mind, and couldn't help calling his name again.

"I understand."

"Specially dismiss your bodyguard, what do you want to say to the famous detective?"

Seeing Abel's tall figure leading Atsushi Nakajima away, Edogawa Ranpo crushed the lollipop that was almost full.

"I declare in advance that the famous detective has no interest in the intrigue between big families."

Shiraishi Yuki looked at Edogawa Ranbu's side face, and the not-so-dimmed street lights cast a shadowy shadow on that childish baby's face, which instead made this young man who usually looked like a child who hadn't grown up Shows a bit of maturity.

Shiraishi Yuki looked at the young man in front of him, and was surprised to find that she couldn't find a trace of the playful and cute little black cat before.

So she turned her head, turned her gaze to the direction of the museum, and sighed with a bitter face.

"I seem to... screw things up."

The inexplicable conflict between her and the port mafia, if it wasn't because Mikasa Miyachi Keiko forcibly intervened to calm the two sides down, she would almost have had a bloody fight with Mori Ogai.

Obviously they don't need to fight to the death.

To put it bluntly, even between the Armed Detective Agency and the Port Mafia, there is no such level of tension.

"...That's because you're a little idiot."

Edogawa Ranpo did not comfort Shiraishi Yuki who was very disappointed, he just swallowed the last bit of sweet residue in his mouth and pointed out the facts mercilessly.

"The famous detective said long ago that you are just an ordinary person."

Not even a smart person, just an average person.

No matter how much luck there is, no matter how favored by God, no matter how special powers others can't match, Shiraishi Yuki is still just an ordinary person.

This is what Edogawa Ranpo has always wanted to tell her.

"Don't believe in fate."

Even if you are favored by fate.

It comes at a price.

"Mr. Ranpo, don't say that to a son of God who devotes himself to serving the gods."

Hearing Edogawa Ranpo's words, Shiraishi Yuuki was silent for a while, but still shook his head.

She knew what Edogawa Ranpo was talking about, but she didn't agree with it.

Seeing Shiraishi Yuuki like this, Edogawa Ranpo suddenly became angry,

"You idiot! Why have you been so brainless?!"

He was so angry that he stretched out his hand to poke Shiraishi Yuuki's cheek.

"You will regret this!"

Seeing Edogawa Ranbu's undisguised anger, Shiraishi Yuki didn't feel offended, she just stared at those blue eyes that looked especially warm under the light, and suddenly laughed.

Shiraishi Yuki opened her arms and made a movement that even she didn't think of.

Against Edogawa's random steps poking her cheek, she hugged his waist and threw herself into his arms.

Different from the arms of a muscular man like Fuheshier, Edogawa Ranpo's body has the kind of soft touch because he has not been exercising all the year round. It is the kind of soft and powerless feeling. Ji even suspected that if he used a little more force, he would hurt the other party.

"Hey, hey! What are you doing?! Ranpo-sama is angry!"

"Don't act like a baby!"

He didn't notice Shiraishi Yuuki's movements, and even if he expected it, he couldn't get rid of the sudden attack. Edogawa Ranpo just froze for a few seconds when he was hugged by the opponent, and then began to curse.

Even so, he didn't struggle.

Even if a detective knows very well, even if he is a weak detective with no strength to restrain a chicken, as long as he wants to, he will definitely be able to break free from Yuuki Shiraishi's embrace.

"Thank you, Mr. Ranpo."

Yuuki Shiraishi didn't hug her for long, but just buried her in the other person's arms and took a deep breath, just like burying her face in a cat's belly and taking a deep breath, all the sweet pastries and refreshing washing powder left behind were inhaled. The smell on the coat.

Edogawa Ranpo doesn't like sports, so he doesn't sweat much.

He likes to eat snacks, pastries, and cake desserts, so his body is full of that smell that makes people feel happy when they smell it.

His embrace was warm.

"……Silly goose."

In the end, the detective did not break away from the opponent's hand, but just lowered the beret with the free hand, covered the red ears, and muttered softly.

--------

On the way back, Atsushi Nakajima felt that Ranpo Edogawa was in a strange mood.

While returning to Doppo Kunikida, who was concerned about Edogawa Ranpo's state and called to check on the post for the tenth time, he peeked at Edogawa Ranpo who didn't know what he was thinking.

"Hey, yes, we've finished dealing with the commission from Tokyo, and we're rushing back... Mr. Ranpo is fine, as Kunikida-san said, I deliberately controlled the amount of desserts he eats... Uh? He wasn't very angry..."

Nakajima Atsushi was stunned for a moment when he heard Kunikida Doppo's words, and then carefully looked at Edogawa Ranpo's face.

"Aren't you angry that the newcomer deliberately controlled the number of desserts?"

Kunikida Doppo immediately sensed something was wrong on the other end of the phone, so he asked a few more questions, "Did you encounter any other cases or meet any strange people in Tokyo?"

"There is no strange person...but we met Yuuki-san."

Nakajima Atsushi briefly introduced himself and Edogawa Ranpo met Shiraishi Yuki and Abe outside the museum, and Edogawa Ranpo deduced that the Kaitou Kidd hid the pink Venus in the unknown Shiraishi Yuki's body, but the other ear keenly heard Edogawa chaotically staring out of the window and chanting.

"...the female hooligan..."

"??"

No, Ranpo-san, what happened between you and Yuuki-san? !

Why do you say that about her? !
