After I divorced from chaos step

"You know my grandfather?"

I admit I'm a little mean.In order to prevent the female version in front of me (?) from messing around again, I picked up the three-flowered cat on the ground-this is her cherished pet, and it can be regarded as the only her Nilin I know.

"Put Natsume-sensei down!" Sure enough, she became even more angry.

"It's so offensive, but I still hope you can sit down and have a good talk with me." I paused, took a step back, and reminded in a warning tone, "Otherwise I will have to confirm the gender of this cat .” I gestured to examine the cat’s body.

"you--"

This is the first time I have seen a person who is so possessive of a cat. Thinking about it, when she was in the form of a duck, she often looked for some gadgets to give to this cat—and so on.

Will someone not even let others confirm the gender of the cat?This is too crazy.

If ducks are mimics, why can't cats be mimics?

Will the three-flowered cat I am holding be the same as the Chuya in front of me... When I think of this, I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Chuya was finally willing to sit down and talk to me.

Dazai just poured the drink in, and he brought two glasses, one with juice and one with hot coffee.

The juice was given to me, and the hot coffee was given to Chu Ya.He was not surprised by the sudden appearance of Chuya, as if everything was in his expectation.

"Is it your ability to become a duck?" I guessed, "Is your ability [I am a duck]?"

The three-flowered cat, which was biting Mutian Polygonum in its arms, suddenly became jittery, trembled, and pawed my knee.

I pinched the back of its neck to calm it down a bit.This move was not rude, but Chu Ya was very distressed: "Stinky girl, don't hurt it! This is not my own ability... It was implanted the day after tomorrow, because I was once an experiment in your grandfather's hands."

I was dumbfounded.

"Stupid girl, is your comprehension so poor? Whether it's your grandfather or your father, your IQ is one in a million. How can you be useless when you come here——" Chu Ya suddenly stopped talking, following her gaze , I saw standing at the door... Edogawa Ranpo.

"It's our first time to meet you, Miss Taizi." Luanbu smiled, holding a bag of dry cleaning clothes in his hand.

It seems that I stopped by the dry cleaner to pick up the clothes when I went to work in the morning, and I actually felt like I had grown up at random.

...We have gradually gotten used to living without each other.

I started earning my own money and he started doing the daily chores on his own.

"You already know my name, Edogawa-kun." Chuya, no, it should be Yasuko.She took a sip of coffee and gracefully put down the coffee cup, "The super-reasoning detective really lives up to his reputation."

"I was scared twice by Miss Taizi, how could I forget?"

When Luanbu mentioned this, I remembered that he was pecked by Chu duck, and that time when we were having night activities on the bay window, Chu duck suddenly fell from the sky, scaring him and fell off the bay window.

...it was a really embarrassing experience.

"Second question, what is your relationship with Zhongyuan Zhongye?"

There were Mr. Tsu and Osamu Dazai in the past, and now there are Ms. Yasuko and Chuya Nakahara. Their very similar faces and figures are really puzzling to me.

"I won't say, with your brain, you may not know it for the rest of your life."

Taizi lowered his eyebrows and looked very serious at first glance, but there was a sneering smile on his lips.

I was angry and ashamed to be publicly criticized for IQ, but I couldn't take convincing actions.

If I reason indiscriminately, I will be treated as a joke again.

"Can't you tell?"

I bit my lip, and just about to speak, Ranbu had already spoken for me.

"Miss Yasuko, you and Mr. Zhongye were born in the same laboratory, right? I contacted a friend to confirm, although most of the information was destroyed by you, but a small part of the information was left behind. The scattered things are completed with reasoning."

While tidying up the laundry bag in his hand, Ranbu continued, "Qingxi's grandfather, Yuan Xingzuo, used to work in the National Artificial Ability Test Center, and you were one of his experimental subjects."

Ranpo's words caused an uproar in my heart, but neither Dazai nor Yasuko changed their expressions.

The former drank the juice casually, while the latter quietly listened to Ranpo's reasoning.

"It's not a certain time, but a certain batch." Taizi corrected, "For those of us, it's not bad if we can make one in a batch. In most cases, the human body can't bear it and is swallowed, and all our efforts are in vain. .” She blinked and said softly, “Then proceed to the next batch of experiments again.”

"What about the devoured person?" I asked, "Can it be saved?"

Taizi looked at me like a fool: "The body is all broken, do you think it can be saved?"

"Does the country have... this kind of experiment? Is there any difference between this and the brain of the enemy alliance?"

"Hey, don't confuse us with those ugly monsters from non-government organizations." Taizi misunderstood that I was comparing her to Naowu, and frowned, "The enemy alliance just stole some of our technology, and there is no way to create a modified person with any personality." .Didn't you fight against Naowu before?"

I admit this, not long ago, I ran into Brainless in the gym.But even if they don't have intelligence and independent personality, their physical fitness and personality are too strong.

If I don't let go of the concern about being exposed after the ability goes out of control, I can't eliminate it at all.

"Although I don't want to admit it, Yuan Qingxi, your grandfather is indeed an amazing person. He even modified our original genes."

Yasuko glanced out the window, at this point in time the Armed Detective Agency hadn't started working yet, and no one else had come except Dazai and Ranpo.

"My appearance was in the laboratory, and he modified the genes to become the most in line with his aesthetics." Taizi touched his face, "You think I am similar to Zhong Yuanzhong, so let me tell you, Physically, Zhong Yuanzhong and I have a blood relationship. But psychologically, no. I don’t recognize this younger brother, nor will I recognize other younger brothers.”

"What about my grandfather? Did he go back to the lab?"

Regardless of whether grandpa continues to work in this kind of work that is very wrong in my opinion, as long as he is still alive...

"No. He managed to escape from there before, and he will never go back." Yasuko turned his gaze to the three-flowered cat in my arms, "That guy, under the influence of Natsume-sensei, decided to leave that line of work, so he brought and I left."

"Although he and I destroyed most of the research materials, a small part of the data was copied by his subordinates. Zhong Yuanzhong was also researched after that, using the same gene fragments as me, those trash , can't you even help him improve his height by [-] centimeters—"

"Miss Taizi." I interrupted her rambling criticism, and asked seriously, "Do you know where my grandfather has gone? I have a question for him about my abilities."

Taizi was silent.

When she was silent, my heart sank.

"...I'm looking for him too, all over Japan. But he seems to have disappeared. He hasn't been back to your grandma or your parents once during this period." Yasuko thought for a while and asked tentatively, "What about this?" Could something have something to do with you? Like being pinched to death by your ability and you can't remember clearly?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Luanbu suddenly opened his eyes, "Qingxixi never did that kind of thing."

He is more emotional than I am.

I thought about it reasonably, and shook my head: "It shouldn't be possible. I got the ability when I was nine years old. Before that, my grandfather had been missing for three years."

"...It's really retribution. He spent his whole life researching on implanting abilities into others, but he didn't expect that in the end, it was his own descendants who suffered the same thing—"

I don't know if it's retribution or not, so let's just treat it as it is.But now I don't have the energy to complain.

"Excuse me, I'll go to the bathroom." As soon as I put down the three-flowered cat, Yasuko immediately came over and hugged it, holding it in his arms, "Natsume-sensei, I finally got you."

The three-flowered cat struggled desperately in her arms, with a look of lovelessness.

"Qingxixi, are you willing to believe me?"

As soon as I finished washing my hands and opened the door, I saw dignified chaotic steps outside the door.

"I've probably deduced everything about you." After a pause, he said, "I would have liked Qingxixi to try to deduce it by himself, because you won't believe me anymore, it's my fault. But I, I think you've worked hard."

I laughed at myself: "I don't have a day when I don't work hard. But it's also true that I have a bad brain. What I worked hard to come up with is a joke if I'm not careful. It's too difficult..."

Ranpo suddenly hugged me.

...I did not refuse.

This is our first intimate contact since our divorce.

On his clothes, there was still the smell of washing powder commonly used at home.

"Qingxixi, are you willing to trust me one more time?" Luanbu said softly, "In that case, my mouth would be crooked."
