After I divorced from chaos step

Not long after the celebration banquet to resolve the Five Declines of Heaven and Man incident ended, Edogawa Ranpo met Genkiyoshi.

It was a rainy evening.

That day, he originally planned to practice the ability to go home alone, and wanted to be praised by Yukichi Fukuzawa, so he refused Kenji Miyazawa's escort, but he found that he lost his way very quickly.

Um?Shall I call the president?Hey, there seems to be delicious red bean dumplings over there—the 26-year-old Edogawa Ranpo is still like a big kid, he can't move his legs when encountering delicious and interesting things.

After eating the last one of the warm red bean dumplings, his heart was filled with joy.

"Let's call the president, anyway, I'm completely lost."

He just took out his mobile phone, when he looked up, he suddenly saw a familiar face.

After 17 years, it came suddenly.

Genqingxi was standing in front of the Yokohama station, just across the road from him.

He had a very deep impression on her when he was a child, and he saw her photo in Oguri Chongtaro's cell phone not long ago, so he recognized her at a glance.

She is very beautiful, the kind of beauty that strangers should not get close to.Dark eyes and hair, with a tear mole at the corner of the eye.There was a thick and intractable gloom between the brows, and the lips were pursed into a cold arc.

The whole person seemed to be isolated from the world, looking at the gray sky expressionlessly.

The only playful thing was the signature bristly hair, curled up on top of her head, softening the indifference of her whole body.

It's raining.

Everyone around opened their umbrellas, but she stood in the rain and walked forward numbly.

...is different.

Completely different.

Compared with the lively little girl on Yueying Mountain when she was a child, her whole portrait has been stripped of all emotions, like a walking dead without emotions.

She must have had a bad time these years, there is no doubt about it.Otherwise, why couldn't she even laugh?

According to Koguri Kotaro, she has been with Fyodor for ten years—walking with such an idealistic lunatic, she was either brainwashed or coerced.

He made the latter judgment almost without thinking about it.

She was absolutely coerced.

Edogawa Ranpo has a good mind and excellent memory. What happened in Tsukiyingshan 17 years ago seemed to him like it happened yesterday.

He remembered every word and every detail very clearly.

The little girl who was noisy enough to bother him bravely rushed towards him.And imitating the famous hero All Might at that time, he said a line to him.

[It's all right now, why do you want to ask?Because I am here. 】

She should have already gone down the mountain, and she should have returned home to have dinner or watch cartoons happily. In short, she should never have seen such a terrible scene and was involved in such a thing.

But even when she saw such a terrible thing, she didn't run away, but rushed over without hesitation.

He already understood her desire to be a hero at that moment, but who would have thought that she would end up on a completely opposite path?

Now that the Five Decays of Heaven and Man have been imprisoned except Fyodor, why did she appear in Yokohama?

He put the phone back in his pocket, stood for a long time, and walked over.

During this short period of time, an accident happened.

—her bag was slashed open and her purse was stolen.

"Excuse me, have you seen my wallet? It's a purple one with a rabbit on it."

She asked everyone patiently and politely, although no one ignored her—because none of them were thieves, and real thieves would not admit that they were thieves so easily.

The tram is on its way, and the crowd will soon disperse, while her investigations go nowhere.

Edogawa Ranpo originally wanted to wait and see what kind of solution she would come up with, but saw her stretch out her hand.

She slowly stretched out her hand towards the person who threw water on her face.

The slow movements didn't look like hitting someone, but like saying goodbye.

The other party was also stunned.

Edogawa Ranpo immediately understood her crazy intentions, she wanted her terrifying power to break down the other party.

After the person is erased, she will probably be able to concentrate on finding her wallet.

This matter has nothing to do with him, he is not a hero, nor is he a policeman, so there is no need to intervene.

But he saw her eyes, confused, puzzled, confused.

She may not even realize what she wants to do.

This is completely different from the little girl I met when I was a child.Thought was probably heavily influenced by Fyodor.

There is no way, after all, they have been together for ten years.Even though Fyodor is not here now, the influence in his bones still lingers.

……never mind.

Don't you just owe her a favor?

He thought to himself, just help her once.

"I can help you."

She slowly turned her face to the side, and her eyes were completely on him.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the hair on her forehead was all wet.He looked around, everyone peering curiously under the umbrella.

It was raining all over Yokohama, and she seemed to be the only one without an umbrella.

With a tilt of his hand, the umbrella covered her head.

"I said I could help you get your wallet back," he repeated.

For a detective, the best thing to use is his brain.

The whole process from catching the thief to finding the wallet did not add up to 2 minutes.

But he didn't see anything resembling worship in her eyes, and he felt a little...unhappy.

She just bowed seriously to him and thanked him.

"I helped you find your wallet, so why don't you thank me verbally?"

At least it should be said that he is very powerful.

And, most importantly, he was taller than her!Yes, he was already taller than her without standing on rocks.

He thought triumphantly, but saw her open her wallet and take out the money to give it to him.

Indeed, he usually charges.

But today there is no desire to charge.

It's just a favor for her.

A favor that he barely remembered.

He tilted his head, the Yuan Qingxi in front of him really couldn't overlap with the noisy little girl in his memory.

"I don't want money...you can take me home."

It just so happened that I didn't have to call the president to trouble me.

"it is good."

He knew that his ability to find the way was weak, but he didn't expect that she would be so strong that she could find a shortcut to his house by intuition.

She was unusually silent, she didn't say a word the whole way, and only said when she reached the door of his house: "Here we are."

The voice was so flat that there were no mood swings.

It was still raining, as if it didn't matter to her at all.

——You should remember to hold an umbrella next time.

This sentence was swallowed back by him, and he did not take back his umbrella.

"Give me back the umbrella next time."

Using umbrellas as the medium, they have an intersection.

It's not for the purpose of obtaining Fyodor's information, that cunning guy won't show his feet so easily.But why did he keep her by his side for ten years?Even if supernatural powers are rare, they are not absolutely special. Besides, her personality is not suitable for the rats in the house of death, and there is a risk of exposing them.

So cunning devil, why would he do such a thing?

Although the devil who ruined the detective agency has not been brought to justice, he knows that he will make a comeback one day.

So why have an intersection with her?

Why did you lend her your umbrella?

He obviously helped her find the wallet, so he has already repaid the favor.

why?

He reasoned to the end, but he didn't reason out his reason for doing so.

……

Yuan Qingxi is a very serious person. The umbrella that was originally dirty by Edogawa Ranpo was cleaned by her. Every wrinkle was flattened, and it was packed in a printed umbrella bag. The fruit and a thank you letter were returned together.

Edogawa Ranpo has a big mouth. Although he loves to eat snacks, he is also extremely picky.But the snacks she chose were just right for his taste.

It is from the first wagashi that they become more and more familiar.

The food she cooks is delicious.

The clothes she has washed are carefully ironed with an iron.

The light is broken, she will fix it.If the TV is not on, she will do it too.

When he saw her skillfully plug the mouse hole in his house, and when she lit a cigarette in it, and then smoked out a few mice that stole his snacks, he suddenly felt that she was so powerful.

It seemed that nothing in the world could stop her.

Except...that person.

They chat from time to time.Unlike when he was a child, he was almost the one talking. She would echo a few times to prevent embarrassment, but she never raised any objections.

Obviously, no matter what he said when he was a child, she would deliberately play against it.

She never mentioned her past, and when she asked, she always said lightly, "The daily life of a female student with nothing to do, there is really nothing to say" and took it away.

Occasionally, when the word ideal is mentioned, a moment of daze will appear on her face.

As if remembering something long ago.

It's just that it must be something illusory, so the next moment, her eyes sank again.

Deep and gentle.

"Ideal, if you can live peacefully, that's fine." She pretended to be indifferent and smiled, "I'm relatively unambitious. Where's Edogawa-san?"

"If it suits me, everything will be fine."

He has no ideals, because what he wants can be obtained quickly, and all problems are not difficult problems in front of him.

As long as you eat, drink, and have fun, that is your ideal in life.

His motto made her look more tender, and she wrote it over and over in her diary.

He had picked up her diary, and although he probably knew it was a journal, he still couldn't figure out the details.

He didn't realize that he couldn't invade other people's privacy. He just opened it out of curiosity.

"I always feel that I have obtained a different power from Mr. Edogawa."——Hey, what kind of power is that?

"He is a very special boy, like a child, he always looks like he is enjoying himself when he eats." ——Why doesn't he look like he is enjoying eating delicious food?

"I haven't had an appetite for a long time, but when I see him eating, I feel a little craving."—That's right, eating is a major event in life.

"I also want to live happily like him. I hope that person will never come to me, and it is best to rot with his name." ——Is that person...?

For Ranpo Edogawa, Genkiyoshi wasn't the only one who gave him snacks.

But it is the one with the longest duration and the highest frequency.

Most of the people who expressed their gratitude to him will do what they like and give him a lot of snacks, many of which he doesn't like.

But she is not.She will never buy something that he complained about once, and she will never buy it a second time. She is obviously not a good mind, but she will remember other people's advice carefully, and never has to remind her repeatedly.

She has always been very gentle, and when she came to deliver snacks, she would also help Kenji Miyazawa, who was lying on the table to take a nap, put a blanket on him.

The further development of their relationship came after she once got too drunk.

Originally he was very angry.

The person who invited him to dinner ended up getting drunk and asked him to lead him.

Is this still plausible?Can a famous detective be overqualified for such a thing?

He resisted the urge to walk away, and hugged her - he didn't hug her!

He really lacked exercise, with slender arms and legs, and finally gritted his teeth before carrying her out of the izakaya.

"You are really troublesome! This is the first time for me to carry someone! Is this kind of thing a detective should do?"

He climbed the mountain by Miyazawa Kenji, but now he still has to carry others?

Every time I took a step, I regretted it once, thinking about whether to throw her away.

But until Gou came home, he didn't throw it away.

"You'd better be sensible, don't expect me to take care of you!"

However, for a drunk person, there is no such thing as understanding.

The drunk Yuan Qingxi was extremely naughty. He not only unpacked all the snacks Edogawa Ranpo stored in the cabinet, but also twisted all the heads off the toy ducklings he bought.

Ranpo Edogawa, who came out of a comfortable bath, was so angry that his eyes were red when he saw the messy living room—he was leading a wolf into the house!

"If my snacks are not crispy, and my ducks are all ruined by you, you are so annoying! You go back! Don't stay in my house!" He pushed her, trying to push her out the door However, she turned around and hugged him at once.

Her strength was far above his, and the disparity in strength made him feel desperate.

"I just took a shower!" He was afraid that she would get the smell of alcohol on him again, but he froze quickly.

A warm liquid slipped behind his ear and trickled down into his clothes.

……she cried.

"Hey, I'm the one who should be crying right now. You ruined my snacks and ducks!"

He was so wronged that he wished he could throw the culprit into the sea.

However, I can’t push _(:_」∠)_

Can't move at all.

Ahhhhhh, he is going to learn gymnastics from the president!He is about to rise!

He didn't want to be unable to move if he was hugged by a girl.

While imagining how he would spread his wings in his heart, he listened to her intermittent narration.

"I want to live a peaceful life..."

"Then you go."

"Tuo Si will definitely come to find me, he is not dead..."

"uncertain."

"I don't want to listen to him anymore..."

"Then don't listen."

……

He spoke without saying a word, and finally his mentality gradually calmed down.

I have never felt that comforting people is such a difficult task.

Forget it, let's take it as a thank you for the cakes and snacks she invited him to eat.

He freed a hand that was exposed outside and could only move freely, and gently patted her head.

"All right. I'll take your commission."

——The content of the commission is probably to let Yuan Qingxi live peacefully and steadily like an ordinary person.
