Don't compete with fairy tale vests

The ghost fire spirit turned around, and saw a blond-haired, blue-eyed foreign boy slowly approaching, asking himself questions, and beside the boy were two strange youths and a familiar hairstyle similar to a lop-eared rabbit. juvenile.

Seeing this posture, the ghost fire spirit held Yumeno Hisakuku's hand a little tighter, and the boy seemed to have sensed some aggressive intentions, and held his hand back.

Ever since Kunikida Doppo was attacked by monsters, armed detective agencies generally no longer allow members to act alone, so the ghost fire spirit and Yumeno Kusaku are rarely separated.

They originally came out after William investigated the monster, but they didn't expect that they would encounter such unexpected things just to buy a cake for Yumeno Kusaku.

The blue eyes of the blond-haired boy stared at him closely, as if he was sure that he would know the answer to the question, with a sense of not reaching his goal and vowing not to give up, as if he had to get a reply from him. Back to stop.

Ango Sakaguchi had already recognized this pair of partners who could be said to be a pair of disaster-level combat partners when the ghost fire spirit passed them by with Yumeno Hisaku.

The combination of the iconic embroidered cloak of the ghost fire spirit and the different appearance from the locals, as well as the dangerous spiritual supernatural powers make them well recognized and also attract a lot of attention in the supernatural special service department.

It's just that the young civil servant never imagined that William Green, the object he needed to monitor, would take the initiative to get involved with the two members of the detective agency, which made the direction of the matter unknowingly subtle.

Because of the blatant interception of Yumeno Kusaku from the port mafia and the almost overwhelming battle with the black lizard of the port mafia in the armed detective agency, the ghost fire spirit has long been registered with the special ability department. On the secret list that needs attention, Ango Sakaguchi was impressed by his flamboyant style.

This kind of supernatural power appearing in Yokohama out of thin air will definitely be a very unstable factor, but in such a sensitive period, such supernatural power appearing in Yokohama out of thin air like the ghost fire spirit is not the only one.

Moreover, the appearance of these people with supernatural abilities was not long before the crisis of "Olin" swept across Yokohama, which makes people wonder whether they have any connection with each other, and they may even be organized and premeditated.

"Ha, are you asking the strongest brave man?"

The brave man with a rusty sword on his back but who claims to be a magician flipped his bangs handsomely, posing like the protagonist of a hot-blooded manga, and asked confidently, this kind of question is usually only seen in manga The movement caused the only normal person present, Ango Sakaguchi, to twitch the corner of his eyes calmly.

But the boy led by the brave had a natural admiration for the hero in his heart, and at this time he was even more eager to try such an action.

Although the social doctor of the detective agency and Ms. Xie Ye suggested not to imitate the movements of the ghost fire spirit, he still quietly posed in a small way in a learned way, and whispered something in his mouth "the strongest alien in the universe" Ability user Yumeno-sama" or something like that.

Compared with the somewhat gloomy appearance in the past, under the care and care of everyone in the detective agency, Yumeno Hisaku now, except for the black mud that occasionally shows up when he stays with a childish famous detective, at least from the outside Lai is not much different from ordinary children, but there seems to be something wrong with the direction being corrected now.

At this time, Kurikawa Soryu, who was controlling the vest, did not dare to relax at all. The name "Luka" is the real name of the ghost fire spirit. No one should know this name except the members of the detective agency. And this foreign boy But as soon as he came up, he said the name of the ghost fire spirit.

He didn't show any abnormality, but responded in accordance with the character of the brave man. The Japanese spoken by the young man in front of the ghost fire spirit had a very familiar and deja vu accent.

"Ah, that's right, it's you." William Green lifted the brim of his hat, and there was a hint of anticipation and longing in his voice, but his face still had the arrogance of a young master, "You must know him. "

"I know!" As soon as the ghost fire spirit said this, Ango Sakaguchi clearly felt that a young master with a bad temper beside him became happy in an instant, even the one who looked confused but was actually very difficult to get close to The young man also showed a joyful mood.

"Which Luka are you talking about? I know fifteen Luka the gardener, thirty-six teachers, seventeen farmers, five firemen, and..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

The brave man's eloquent speech was interrupted by the blond boy, and the young bookseller asked eagerly, "The one with pointed ears and dark skin like you."

"It's the same as me, but all Lucas have pointed ears and dark skin." The silver-haired young man replied doubtfully, and the golden eyes of will-o'-the-wisps were filled with big questions.

"Wear glasses." Jacob Green added a key word.

"Well... if you wear glasses, there are probably fifteen thousand seven hundred and sixty-eight?" The ghost fire spirit became a little uncertain, "Can you be more specific?"

"That's it." William Green eagerly tore off a piece of paper from his cherished notepad, and quickly began to paint and draw with a pen.

Ango Sakaguchi originally thought that he might be able to obtain some new information because he drew so seriously, but he just quietly glimpsed a little "secret" through the cracks, but he almost showed a rude expression, and he could only maintain it by being well-trained Hold the expression.

With the joint efforts of the two brothers Grimm, the portrait of the will-o'-the-wisp family named Luca was finally completed, and the two brothers handed it to the will-o'-the-wisps as if they were treasures.

Kurikawa Soryu was thinking about the connection of all these things recently, and even had a slight idea, but the painting of the Brothers Grimm made the corners of his mouth twitch crazily, and also grabbed his attention with a magical beauty.

Yumeno Hisaku who was on the side saw the content first because of curiosity, and quickly covered his eyes with a doll condensed with supernatural powers, and decided to stare at Edogawa Ranpo for three hours to wash after returning to the Armed Detective Agency. Wash your eyes.

He would rather stare at his deadly enemy for three hours than watch this kind of viewing itself, which can be called a novelty-hunting performance art. The murals seen in Qianmen Temple are much more avant-garde, far beyond what he can understand at this stage.

"what is this?"

The Will-o'-the-wisp, who had recovered from the visual shock, carefully chose euphemistic words to express his hesitation, and smiled dryly, trying to hide the fact that he didn't see why.

"Is this Upf's great-great-great-great-grandfather? Ha, ha, ha, ha, I didn't expect someone to be able to portray the former trembling king so vividly."

But the two soul painters didn't seem to have any plans to just let the ghost fire spirit go.

"Can't you really recognize it?" William Green was still unwilling to give up.

Ango Sakaguchi had a tense face. He always thought that he had a good sense of humor, but now it seemed that his serious work style evaluation was about to collapse.

As for the idea of ​​what kind of information he wanted to obtain, he had already thrown it to the back of his mind. Even the Chief Farmer probably wouldn't be able to see anything from such sloppy painting skills.

This embarrassing situation was finally saved by William Green's mobile phone reminder set in advance.

"Forget it, we will come to you again." When the bell rang, although William Green's tone was reluctant, he still moved out of the way reasonably.

"Hmph, the guy from the Armed Detective Agency." Before he had to buy the culprit of his fiasco, Ryunosuke Akutagawa couldn't help but snorted coldly.

But this is already a great improvement for the irritable and impulsive teenager. With Kairon's efforts, Mori Ogai is willing to give him the task of following and monitoring Jacob Green this time. Also for this reason.

The immediate crisis is considered to be temporarily resolved. Although it seems that something is involved and it will be difficult to get rid of the big trouble for a while, it is better to leave here first. The ghost fire spirit and Yumeno Hisaku hold the torn notepad page, except Akutagawa Ryunosuke gave a fierce look, but they separated from the four of them peacefully on the whole.

Relieved, Soryu Kurikawa inadvertently glanced at the clock on the wall of the bar, immediately jumped up from his chair, and hurriedly prepared to go out.

The direction indicated by the pointer has reached the time when he must go out. He still remembers the appointment with editor Kondo today. He heard that there are people from the publisher back. This is the first time his book has been translated into Other languages, published all over the country.

Since he received the news from Editor Kondo's personal visit yesterday, he has excitedly started preparing for today.

"Phew—I'm really excited just thinking about it, old man." Without anyone else to share his joy with, Kurikawa Soryu just sighed with the old man Roaming Mountain in his heart.

He pressed his chest, feeling his heart beating powerfully in his chest, the shadow of death seemed to be gradually moving away, and success seemed to be close at hand, Kurikawa Soryu suddenly felt complicated emotions in his heart.

When he was about to leave the house, the key to the house was missing. Kurikawa Soryu opened the drawer, but there was a slight pause in the search.

He didn't find the key, but he found the previous roll of euros that he had almost forgotten and the card that was well kept in the dark purple envelope.

The place where the fingertips were in contact with the envelope seemed to have a different temperature, and a vague idea flashed in Kurikawa Soryu's mind between the electric light and the flint.

But he just hesitated for a moment, picked up the key that he had forgotten earlier, put on his coat, and set off to the place where he had agreed to meet with the editor and the foreign publisher this time.

Walking hurriedly on the road with his head down, Kurikawa Soryu suddenly stood up straight and stopped in his tracks. The young man pushed his glasses, showing an expression of sudden realization.

"I see." The short chestnut-haired youth stood at the corner of the road where no one was paying attention and muttered to himself.
