"Seven spikes."

The man in front of him had short red hair, and his black suit was probably custom-made.

Cuffs, collar clips, even the hand towel on the chest - no matter which one it is, you can buy the high-end restaurant where they are now.

"Although I don't mean to scold you, you have indeed gone too far recently."

Akashi Seijuro crossed his hands, and there was a faint smile on the corners of his lips, but there was a sense of oppression in every move.

Sakino Nanaho was speechless.

Although I know a lot of rich people, no matter whether it is Chanyuan Naoya or Wujo Wu, none of them are of this type.

It's almost to the point where it will be revealed as soon as you open your mouth.

"Hey, Ranpo-sama is still here."

Contrary to Sakino Nanho's expectations, Edogawa Ranpo was not affected at all.

Bored with boredom, a detective pokes the pastry on his plate.

Akashi Seijuro took a look, not surprised by this move.

"Of course." Akashi Seijuro nodded politely, "Mr. Edogawa, we meet again."

Qi Ye Qiho was puzzled: "Have you seen it?"

"Maybe it's because Qiho-chan's eyes are all focused on Ranpo-sama." Edogawa Ranpo said this very confidently, "Obviously every time there is a case, I can see it by the side. "

"..." Sakino Nanasui glanced at her nominal father guiltily.

Fortunately, it doesn't seem to be angry.

However, just as the girl breathed a sigh of relief, Akashi Seijuro's questions came one after another.

The man's tone was flat, and he looked at her scrutinizingly: "Qisui, what do you think?"

Able to take over the entire consortium well in his teens, Akashi Seijuro is obviously not as gentle as he seems.

"I?"

"Do you want to continue wasting time here, or go back with me?" Akashi Seijuro said without any concealment. There was no special fluctuation in his eyes when he looked at the daughter in front of him, as if he was talking about a business, "To be honest , except for Dazai-kun, I didn't find any advantages in your companion game."

……

There seems to be something wrong, are you trying to provoke her on purpose?

Sakino Nanho frowned: "I am not wasting time, nor am I playing companion games."

"Really." Akashi Seijuro said lightly, "Then what have you learned? Fighting?"

After he finished speaking, his eyes swept over Edogawa Ranpo: "Just for this one person?"

"Please don't say that." Nanachi Sakino assumed the same posture as the man. She deliberately used a cold tone, without any intention of discussing it. "No matter what you investigated, Father, Mr. Ranpo has many advantages."

The hand was held again.

Edogawa Ranpo, who had already seen through everything, had no intention of exposing Akashi Seijuro, but just looked curiously at the girl's fingertips that were whitening from nervousness.

"Qasui-chan." Edogawa said lazily, with his chin resting on his head, and the ending sounded like he was acting coquettishly, "You're hurting me."

Sakino Nanaho was stunned for a moment, then let go as if awakened with a start, her cheeks were half red: "Hug, I'm sorry."

Edogawa Ranpo: "It's okay, Ranpo-sama is not angry."

Nanaho Sakino tried to cool herself down with the back of her hand.

...Wait, now doesn't seem like the time to do this.

The girl relaxed inexplicably, and gathered her courage when she looked at Akashi Seijuro again.

"Also." She raised her chin, "Please don't say impolite words like marrying a wife. I am the one who pursues Mr. Ranpo, and I am the one who makes trouble for Mr. Ranpo."

"And..." In the middle of speaking, Sakino Nanho looked away guiltily, but unexpectedly met Edogawa Ranpo's opened eyes.

The young man looked at her thoughtfully, his eyes so calm that he forced her to look back silently.

"...Moreover, I haven't caught up yet."

……

The door of the banquet hall opened and closed, and after Nanasui's figure completely disappeared, Akashi Seijuro raised the corners of his lips after being said these words.

Butler Tanaka, who had been standing by the side, showed a gratified smile: "This is the first time I have seen Missy resist you."

Akashi Seijuro gave a "huh" and acted indifferent, but when the text message was sent to the phone, the screen saver that lit up was a cute photo of [Akashi Nanaho] riding a horse for the first time when he was a child.

Different from Akashi Seijuro, who received an elite education since he was a child, [Akashi Nanaho] did not show the sharpness that an heir should have at this age when he was supposed to try to take over the consortium.

This made Akashi Seijuro a little worried.

Butler Tanaka: "So you agree to this marriage?"

Akashi Seijuro paused while holding the phone, and performed the smile disappearing technique in front of Butler Tanaka.

"Naho is still in school," Akashi Seijuro said.

The man took a sip of tea calmly.

Marriage was just a stopgap measure he guessed no one would agree to.

As for getting married...

Akashi Seijuro sneered.

Who said his daughter must get married.

"So Qiho-chan joined the detective agency to chase after Ranpo-sama."

On the way back, Edogawa said in a nonchalant way.

Sakino Nanasui felt guilty, how could she know these settings made by the system.

Qisuijiang's ears turned red again.

It was rare for Edogawa Ranpo to observe all this seriously, his blue irises being illuminated by the street lamps on both sides.

"Communication—" the detective raised his voice intentionally, "If Qisui Jiang can conjure up the candy I just lost, it's not impossible."

"Eh?" Sakino Nanho was shocked, "You don't even know what dating is, do you, Mr. Ranpo?"

Edogawa nodded in disorder, confidently: "I don't know!"

"...Pfft." Sakino Nanho was amused by him.

Her blond hair fell to her shoulders, bouncing with a smile.

Edogawa Ranpo stared at her until the girl wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her bent knuckles.

"What kind of relationship is that, Mr. Ranpo?"

Edogawa Ranpo: "It was Qiho-chan who first said that he liked me."

"That's right..." Nanasui Sakino said, and took a look in his pocket, "But I really brought candy."

"This is the smell you just lost. If you need it, the one I mentioned to Mr. Kunikida last time is also there."

Edogawa's random footsteps stopped.

"Because Mr. Ranpo sometimes loses energy, I wonder if it would be better to carry it with you." The smile on the girl's face was still there, her cheeks were red, and the corners of her eyes were also red. The whole person seemed to be gently embraced by the setting sun, "—and bandages, alcohol, marbles... After all, I am not good at reasoning at all, so I can only help in this area."

My heart is beating fast.

it's wired.

Chico always gets honest where it doesn't matter in this kind of place.

Edogawa Ranpo, who didn't understand what had changed in him, frowned, and took the initiative to hold the opponent's hand for the first time.

She has candy and marbles in her hands, all of Edogawa Ranpo's favorite things together, but the detective is concerned about the low body temperature.

So complicated.

But Qisui sauce will be more troublesome if it catches a cold.

When Qiho-chan catches a cold, Kunikida or someone else will supervise him.

Thinking so, Edogawa Ranpo reluctantly gave up his little cloak.

Sakino Nanho was flattered: "So the relationship that Mr. Ranpo said just now is serious?"

Edogawa Ranpo hummed: "No, Qiho-chan doesn't really like me anyway."

Sakino Nanasui: "Why, isn't this considered liking?"

Edogawa Ranpo: "That's why I don't like it enough."

Sakino Nanasui: "It's so difficult, there must be a standard."

Edogawa Ranpo thought for a while: "It's just that you can't fall in love with others in the future."

Qi Ye Qisui paused, and for a moment, she felt the fear that her vest could not hide.

But Edogawa Ranpo stopped one step away from the truth.

She didn't know if he really didn't guess it, or if he stopped on purpose considering her mood.

The detective just stared at her, and said very seriously:

"Ranpo-sama is the No.1 detective in the world."

"So, Qisui-chan—"

"You have to be the number one in the world who likes Ranpo."
