After I divorced from chaos step

——Then from now on, don't look back.

The arm that was pressing on the eyes moved away, and the faint smell of disinfectant that passed from the bandage to the nasal cavity also disappeared in an instant.

I opened my eyes.

The white light overhead was blindingly bright.

"Qingxi sauce, what's the matter with you?" Dazai's worried voice was next to his ear.

I said softly: "Dazai, you are right, you should really look forward."

Dazai blinked suspiciously: "Look ahead, what are you looking at? How many floors has the elevator reached?"

Eh?elevator?

Aren't we on the Harbor Bridge?How could it be in the elevator?

But the enclosed space around them showed that it was indeed in the elevator.

"Here it is."

The elevator stopped, and the elevator door opened slowly. Outside the door, stood Fukuzawa Yukichi with a dignified face.

This scene is exactly the same as the scene before I found out that the world was changed.

The only difference is that now I hold the golden box in my arms, and when I walked out of the elevator door before, there was no box in my arms.At that time, because I didn't know how to confess the news of Ranpo's death to the detective agency, I didn't even notice that it disappeared without a sound.

Dazai seemed indifferent to this matter, and was at a loss for my words.It seems that this box should have caused me to have some kind of hallucination, and stretched a short moment into a day.

Now I'm back to square one.

... It was like experiencing a wonderful daydream like a phantom fog.

After seeing a neat row of bozi sodas placed neatly on the Ranbu workstation, my heart suddenly felt at ease—there are still traces of the existence of Ranbu here.

He will not be forgotten by anyone.

"Senior Fukuzawa, there is something I want to explain to you." When I told this matter the second time, I still felt very uncomfortable.

But not the empty, uncomfortable feeling that the world has forgotten him and only I remember.

Fukuzawa Yukichi's office is a single cubicle. He sat down at the tea table and motioned for me to sit down as well.

"Qingxi, are you here to talk about Luanbu?"

"Yes."

I borrowed Ranbu from here, but I didn't bring him back.Fukuzawa Yukichi probably guessed it, and his face became more dignified.

"Ranpo-san passed away to protect me."

The air was suddenly silent, as if it had been frozen, and I could even hear the beating of my heart in my chest.

Fukuzawa Yukichi didn't speak, but out of the corner of my eye, I saw him put down the tea table and clenched his hands.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Fukuzawa, for taking away someone important to you."

Not only for Fukuzawa Yukichi, Ranpo is very important for the entire Armed Detective Agency.According to Dazai, the entire detective agency was established with Ranpo as the core.

"Qingxi, can you tell me the details of what happened?"

I nodded and told Fukuzawa Yukichi everything that happened in Duck Farm, including my ability and Pandor'sbox.

There was another long silence after he finished listening.

"I'm sorry, because of my incompetence, I have troubled Ranpo-san..." I couldn't say anything other than apologizing.

"You don't need to apologize. This is Ranpo's own choice." Fukuzawa Yukichi stood up, walked to the cabinet, and opened one of the drawers, "Ranpo has something for you, come and have a look."

"This is--"

Ranbu didn't leave much for me, just an envelope.

A car key, a key to his house, a bank card with a password, a letter, and a rabbit wallet.

This wallet looks very similar to the wallet that Xing Zuo's grandfather gave me, and the color is the same, only the right ear is slightly folded.

"Mr. Fukuzawa, when did Ranpo-san give these things to you?"

These things add up to almost all of his things.

It seems that it was arranged early.

"Ranpo gave it to me yesterday. He said that if you come to me alone, let me give you this envelope."

yesterday!It was yesterday!Could it be that at that time he already knew that he might encounter danger and not come back?

...but he followed me anyway, without hesitation.

"Qingxi, I have known about your supernatural ability for a long time." Fukuzawa Yukichi said quietly, "But Ranbu didn't tell me. In fact, I also asked him to verify it after I knew it. He didn't deny it. But he begged me not to ask you."

"That's right."

"My ability can enable members of the club to gain the power to adjust their abilities, so that uncontrolled abilities can be controlled by themselves. But it can only be used on members... Actually, Ranpo recommended you to join the club."

I have a vague memory of this incident. Ranpo once asked me if I wanted to work in his detective agency, and praised the juice and cakes in the agency.What did I say?

"Are you busy? What is the job content? I like leisurely work, such as making cakes and making coffee. After all, I want a peaceful and stable life."

The work of a detective agency is destined not to be compared with making cakes and making coffee, and Ranpo never mentioned it to me later.

"I didn't agree to Ranpo right away. I think you should get to know the real detective agency first, and then pass the entrance test to officially join the agency. Ranpo said that it was different from what you wanted, and he promised me that he would deal with it."

Luanbu's way of dealing with this matter is to be coquettish and sassy, ​​trying to make me use my abilities as much as possible, until I forget that I have abilities.

In the six months since I was married to him, he has never brought home anything about the detective agency, and he and I have lived the peaceful and stable life I want.

"Then I'll go back first, Mr. Fukuzawa, please take care—" I couldn't continue.

Going on, it's about discussing the Ranpo memorial service.

"Qingxi."

When I reached the door, Fukuzawa Yukichi stopped me again.

I turned my head to look at him, this middle-aged man who has always been unsmiling, raised his hand to me.

"This is Ranpo's own choice."

……

The voices of the debate in the detective agency could still be heard when I walked out of the gate of the detective agency.

"How is this possible? How could Mr. Ranpo die?"

"If I'm with Dr. Xie Ye, at least I can save him!"

"Dazai, what happened!!!"

After walking into the elevator, those voices gradually disappeared.

Holding the golden box and the things that Ranbu left me, I pressed the 1st floor button.

"Wait a moment."

Someone put one hand between the two doors of the elevator that were about to close, and I quickly pressed the open button again.

"Qingxi sauce, let me take you back."

In normal times, I would definitely reject Dazai outright, but today, I did not refuse.

Instead of taking a bus or hailing a taxi, we chose to walk.I walked very slowly, and Dazai also slowed down, walking side by side with me.

"Dazai, what kind of person is Ranpo-san?"

"Let me think about it." Dazai put on a serious expression, "Ranpo-san is a very smart person, and he has a good memory."

"What about other than that?"

"Other than that, I can't see through it."

The dull chat soon ended, and Dazai and I came to Ranpo's residence tacitly.

When I saw that house, my nose was sore and I almost shed tears.

...Great, it didn't all disappear like the illusion I experienced before.

In addition to [Edogawa Ranpo], there are a few more words written with a pen on the house number. Unfortunately, it has been washed away by the rain, but judging from the number of words, it is not [Edogawa Qingxi] .

I can imagine Luanbu holding a pen and writing something stubbornly on the house number when no one is around.

I took the key out of the envelope and opened the door.

I haven't been here once since leaving that night.

I don't know if Luanpo has found a housekeeper to clean up.

"This……"

The house is very clean, rare clean, but not by housekeeping—the rags are crookedly folded, the water in the hydroponic plants is obviously overfilled, and the direction of the mop is also reversed.

It's probably all made by Luanpo himself.

When my eyes fell on the persimmon pillow on the sofa, I suddenly trembled.

This persimmon pillow should have been eliminated by me.When I left here, I had all my stuff wiped out.

I picked up the persimmon pillow, and when I saw the extra persimmon stalks on the pillow, I realized that I should have bought it later.

I looked around, and was surprised to find that many of the things I eliminated were bought back by Ranpo in the same style.

"Dazai, what was your evaluation of Ranpo-san before?"

Dazai was teasing the goldfish, and said without looking back, "He is very smart and has a good memory."

I whispered, "Yeah, he has a really good memory."

There are many things that I only remember I had after I saw it, and then I eliminated it.But Ranbu was able to buy back so many of the same style.

At the same time, I also discovered something even more incredible.

In the entire two-story house, I couldn't find anything that belonged to Ranbu.

His study was empty, and the snack cabinet was empty, except for a liquor cabinet full of my favorite vodka.Not even a duckling was to be found in the bathroom, nor was the razor.

When I got to the second floor, those belongings of his parents were nowhere to be found either.In the two photo albums, only my photos are left-it should be taken from my mother.

I closed my eyes and slowly sketched out the handwriting on the house number in my mind.

One stroke, one painting.

I finally know what Ranpo wrote.

What he wrote was indeed not [Edogawa Ranpo Edogawa Qingkei], but [Edogawa Ranpo presented to Miss Minamoto Kiyoshi]

He gave me his house and, of course, got rid of all his stuff.

Dazai was still looking at the only fish in the water tank in the living room, he whispered to himself: "Eating too much fish is tantamount to dying for love, but unfortunately you only have one, so when you wait for the other one to come, eat less first. "

I took out the letter from the envelope. Before that, I hadn't opened it and didn't know what Ranbu wrote.

What would Luanbu write?

【There is a cute big baby who is reading what I wrote...】

[These days, when you are not here, I also learn to do some housework.It's so difficult, I tried my best, but I'm still not as good as Qing Xixi, my family Qing Xixi is the world's number one housework genius.hey-hey. 】

[I kind of want to eat the rice cooked by Qingxixi, but I guess you won't be willing to cook it for me.Just thinking about it makes Fyodor flush down the toilet! 】

[Sorry, I lied to you before.But no malice, please believe me.A famous detective will learn more about the mind of the girl he likes in the future.I have some places to change, although I can't say the specific places.Distressed, am I really bad?Just say no (no!)]

【I was rescued by Qingxixi before.You are the hero who came to save me.Without Qingxixi, the world's number one detective would have died at only 10 years old.Sad reminder! 】

[But if Qing Xixi sees this letter, it means that I probably... have no future.Fyodor wants to die with Qingxixi, but I want to live with Qingxixi.For a compromise, let me consume him to death. 】

[Qingxixi, the house and car are given to you, don't take it away!Marui-kun's salary for you is too low.The password in the card is posted on the card, you remember to reset the password, don't be lazy.hum. 】

[Say thank you to your parents for me.I haven't known each other for a long time, but with them, I seem to have returned to my childhood life. My parents are very similar to your parents.The lion mother is also the best mother in the world, but remember to use your brain when playing mahjong, don't play blindly as soon as you catch the cards, it is too easy to lose!angry. 】

【Qingxixi, my grandma told me that everyone has a next life.To tell the truth, it is impossible for a detective to be superstitious about such nonsense.But if there is... I still want to meet you.In the next life, you will also be fierce to me from the beginning, so that I can recognize you at a glance.But after getting to know each other, you have to be gentle with me immediately, and even make me a cake.By the way, Fyodor will be reincarnated as a duck in his next life, and we will serve it on the table as a side dish, how about making roast duck! 】

The words he wrote were transformed into his voice by me, which was automatically transformed in my mind.

It was as if he was sitting right behind me, talking to me happily.

The past is like a movie, flashing before my eyes frame by frame.

pat.

pat.

My tears fell.

Sliding across the cheeks, sliding across the jaw, drop by drop, falling on the letter paper.

[Sorry, the paper is running out of space.Although a bit reluctant, but so be it, don't be sad, this is a detective's own choice.

Because of me, I really like Qingxixi very much (づ￣3￣)づ.Another lovely big baby]
