About the fact that I was reborn after my strategy was full.

When the warm touch fell on her forehead, the girl under her was a little dazed.

What is a kiss?

Edogawa Ranpo didn't understand.

In the detective's mind, it was just the bonding of lips and the exchange of body temperature.

But when the world equates it with love, such a simple contact has a different meaning.

There was only surprise in those slightly widened eyes.

The young man's calm eyes fell into the clear irises, and he suddenly came to a conclusion.

He likes Qisui Jiang, more than Qisui Jiang likes him, it seems to be a little more.

He should have kept Qisui sauce by his side longer.

Detectives can analyze her every move, dismantle her emotions into simple mysteries, and then decipher them one by one.

However, the president said that would not work.

Chichi-chan cannot be treated as an enemy of reasoning.

Edogawa Ranpo half-understood, still trying to think, but suddenly the same temperature was felt on his forehead.

The detective blinked in confusion, and it took two seconds to analyze the situation.

So crafty!

"Qasui-chan." Edogawa Ranpo narrowed his opened eyes again, with some complaints in his tone, "That's not a good afternoon kiss."

Mr. Ranpo's kiss seems a bit different from Reborn's.

【"Joria, I will wait for you tomorrow."】

When the man leaned down, he smiled and said this sentence.

But Mr. Ranpo didn't smile.

Sakino Nanho intuitively caught some small differences, but couldn't tell the reason from them.

It is worth mentioning that Mr. Ranpo seems to have discovered the truth——

But it didn't seem ready to tell her.

Nanasui Sakino observed the young man's expression, and suddenly came to such a conclusion.

The following days were the same as before, the body kept in the police station was buried, and Sakino Nanaho could always find Luanbu obediently waiting for her by the small flower bed at the door.

At this time, Ranbu will give her a sunflower as before.

One after another, the glass vases placed on the window sills of the detective agency were filled.

It was the candy that Sakino Nanaho brought back from going out to the market last time, because she spared the way, so she forgot the candy that Ranpo wanted on the way back.

Strangely, Edogawa Ranpo was not angry about it.

He just raised his eyelids and silently looked into the dark corner.

"It's been too long." Edogawa Luanbu's voice was extremely calm, and even some anger could be heard faintly, "When are you going to follow Qisui for how long?"

There was a slap, the sound of leather shoes stepping on the ground.

Sakino Nanaho followed Edogawa Ranpo's gaze, only to realize that a figure appeared in a corner that was originally silent at some time.

The man's complexion was unfriendly, his ochre-haired hair was tied into a small strand on his shoulders, and the cobalt blue eyes were also full of coldness.

It is also different from the Zhongyuanzhong I saw in Italy before, without the identity of "subordinates brought out by myself", when Zhongyuan Zhongye looked at her now, he was just a pure mafia.

"I should say this." Nakahara Nakaya said, looking away from her, "The people from the detective agency brought the important members that Peng Lie was looking for into Yokohama without authorization, are they trying to start a war? ?”

The moment the killing intent spread, Sakino Nanho broke free from Edogawa Ranpo's hand.

She moved so quickly that she blocked the detective's way.

The mantra surged in the air, and in this silent confrontation, spider web-like traces appeared on the ground under his feet.

Zhong Yuan frowned, thinking of the fact that he is a woman that has been circulating around the world for the past few days.

What's the matter, did the leader make a mistake?

The dead wife of Pengelie Shidaimu was obviously just an ordinary woman.

"Qasui-chan." Amidst the stalemate, Edogawa said lazily.

He hooked her index finger with his index finger, and then held the entire palm firmly.

"Don't worry, he doesn't dare to really do it."

Those cold emerald eyes can't see to the bottom. The seemingly innocent Mr. Detective is actually a dangerous person as important as Dazai.

This is the heart of the detective agency.

"Anyway, it's just your leader's guess, isn't it?" Edogawa Ranbu said in a cold tone, without any intention of retreating.

Zhong Yuanzhong also narrowed his eyes.

He knew it was a provocation, but the leader's order was absolute.

Nakahara Nakaya snorted irritably, and when he looked at the girl beside Edogawa Ranpo, his suppressed voice was full of warning.

"I'll watch..."

"Besides, I advise you not to tell Pengo Lie." Edogawa Ranpo deliberately drawled his tone, "Qasui sauce's surname is now Akashi."

Zhongyuan Zhong also paused, and looked suspiciously at the other party who was so ordinary that he could no longer dress up as a commoner.

Edogawa raised the corners of his lips in disorder, humming and chirping and stuffed another sunflower into Sakino Nanasui's hand.

"Compared to Vengley who is far away in Italy, immediate interests are more important."

"..."

This conversation lasted only 5 minutes, but the huge amount of information in it shocked Sakino Nanaho.

"...you know everything?" After Nakahara Chuya left, Sakino Nanasui asked guiltily.

Edogawa was proud of his steps: "Nothing can escape the eyes of a famous detective."

Sakino Nanaho pursed her lower lip: "So when Mr. Ranpo asked me what I looked like last time, was it because of this?"

The corners of Edogawa Ranpo's lips lowered.

He turned his face sideways, stared at the girl in front of him for a while, and suddenly laughed.

"Qasui-chan, do you get scared when you're alone?"

"Although Ranpo-sama doesn't have that kind of experience at all..."

From the small expression, Edogawa Ranpo has already got the answer.

But he just held his hand a little tighter, as if grasping the ear of wheat closest to the sun in the vast wheat field.

It is rumored that the baby elephant will go to a place where no one knows before it knows it is dead.

It was cold there, surrounded by litter.

The book calls it the Elephant Tomb.

"It's ok."

Edogawa Ranpo said softly.

"I won't leave you alone again."

At the end of summer, the work of the detective agency became busy.

It may be because the frequency of Dazai entering the water has increased linearly, and Kunikida lost a little more hair.

Sakino Nanaho is always staring at the colorful hair on the floor, lost in thought.

"Butler Tanaka."

"Yes, please tell me, miss."

"Tell me, what can grow hair?"

"...?"

Of course, compared with the case recently solved by Edogawa Ranpo, the fact that all the members of the detective agency received the hair care gift box is something to be said for later.

"After all, it's the apartment of Qisui-chan's family."

When receiving the gift from the police, Edogawa Ranpo muttered indifferently, lazily covering his face with the book.

"And that kind policeman took me on the tram, so it's a gift in return."

The eyes of Matsuda Jinpei, who was sent by the boss to give gifts, jumped: "...you can say it so lightly."

Sakino Nanachi poked the lazy cat on the sofa with a small wooden stick she picked up: "It's just what it sounds like, Mr. Ranpo has worked hard."

Edogawa dissatisfiedly removed the book covering his face: "But it's better to pretend to see it at a glance."

"The process of hard work cannot be denied, and the president also said so."

"... Qisui sauce."

"..."

"You know you bald the stick when you lie, don't you?"

This thing was picked up by Edogawa Ranpo, because it grew into a slingshot shape, so the famous detective was very excited when he found it.

Qi Ye Qisui felt guilty, and silently glued back the fallen leaves.

However, if you drop it, you drop it.

Divorced from its origin, it will wither sooner or later.

not understand.

Edogawa Ranpo doesn't understand why there are mysteries in this world that can be solved but cannot be solved.

If the inference of the points in repairing the dead body is correct, then letting Qisui leave as soon as possible is the most correct decision.

But Edogawa Ranpo was addicted to this game and kept silent.

If he leaves, Qisui Jiang will definitely forget him.

"My identity is fictitious."

"More precisely, everyone in this world has false memories of [Akashi Nanho]."

When the autumn was getting cooler, Nanasui Sakino held his chin and said to him thoughtfully.

"It's not that I don't want to go back, but... I don't know what to say when I see that Akashi-san."

After the body dies, the memory of the person concerned will not disappear.

Sakino Nanaho didn't even know if their memories would still exist after the game was over.

When we meet, should we be closer or more distant?

But if the relationship becomes closer, all these remaining bits and pieces will turn into a gentle knife.

Pieces of people will be lingering, and even tears will not fall.

It doesn't matter if you forget it, you will be free if you forget it.

The longer she travels, the more Sakino Nanho understands this truth.

She couldn't even remember what her real parents looked like when they were born.

Ah... Speaking of which, are they really her real parents?

Which side is true and which side is false.

Edogawa Ranpo couldn't answer.

In the final analysis, none of the members of the detective agency can be considered gentle, nor can they be regarded as purely good people.

People are selfish.

It would be great if I could travel with Nanasui.

Edogawa Ranpo glanced at the cat nestled in a ball on the sofa.

Or pure animals are happier.

Edogawa Ranpo decided to seriously plan a date.

He didn't know anything about it, and sat in Yukichi Fukuzawa's office wearing glasses and asked for a long time, only to come to one conclusion in the end.

Go to the place that Qisui sauce likes.

But Qiho-chan likes too many things, and Edogawa Ranpo really can't find anything special.

This is the first time a detective puts others on an equal footing with himself.

No, maybe beyond the point.

When Edogawa Ranpo came back to his senses, he suddenly realized that he had put other people's feelings ahead of his own at some point.

A child who doesn't know much about the world and thinks that as long as he is happy, everything will be fine, he takes a step forward unintentionally.

In the middle of the forest, one firefly after another floats on the lake.

Sakino Nanho was a little surprised when she saw it.

"I thought Mr. Ranpo would choose to go to the amusement park."

"Well, that's what I planned." Edogawa Ranpo said, "However, Qiho-chan's eyes are very similar to here."

The green color, when the breeze blows, it will shine beautifully.

It's so quiet, but it's impossible to see the end at a glance.

"Ah, by the way, about the request of Qiho-chan..."

Edogawa Ranpo's lips opened and closed, but Sakino Nanho couldn't hear it.

The piercing siren of the system isolated her from the world, erecting a wall of air in the cool air.

"Understood!" The second after the alarm sound disappeared, Edogawa Ranpo suddenly asked him seriously.

Sakino Nanasui: "...not at all."

Edogawa blinked in disorder, saw her rubbing her ears, and quickly understood the ins and outs.

Mr. Detective was a little discouraged.

Sakino Nanaho was deep in thought, and wanted to touch the other person's head comfortingly, but her hand passed through the beret.

She froze for a moment, looking at her gradually transparent body.

punish?Because the secret was revealed, so there is no need to leave the corpse this time?

"I seem to be leaving, Mr. Ranpo."

"Well, I know." Edogawa Ranpo said, "That's why I'm standing here."

"Eh?"

"Because I don't know when Qiho-chan will disappear, so I keep looking at Qiho-chan."

when eating.while sleeping.

Obviously these are Edogawa Ranpo's favorite times.

The moonlight fell, but the famous detective couldn't close his eyes.

Do what you promise.

If she leaves alone, Qisuijiang will definitely be very sad.

Edogawa Ranpo thought he could endure it.

but……

The clear vision became blurred, and the detective's usually sharp eyes were clouded with mist.

Edogawa Ranpo didn't know what kind of feeling this was.

It's so complicated that I can't understand it.

But there seems to be no other way but to accept it.

"Mr. Ranpo, what should I do?" Sakino Nanho asked.

Her voice was gentle, and her lips touched the corners of his eyes lightly.

"What should I do? Sure enough, I can only find the answer myself."

When people are about to die, their souls are divided by thoughts.

One part stays here, one part melts into the light of fireflies.

One part floats to the wilderness, and the other part floats to the sky.

All the rest condensed into love, condensed in a light kiss.

Still haven't had time to say goodbye.

It should be something to be thankful for not being able to make friends with everyone...

"Seven spikes."

A familiar voice sounded from behind, and when Sakino Nanaho turned around, Akashi Seijuro was standing by the tree.

What a keen man he is, not to mention keeping an eye on Edogawa Ranpo's every move.

He also got a copy of the intelligence obtained by the detective.

What is true and what is false.

Obviously even the child himself can't tell the difference.

There is always a world that is true.

"Equestrianism and flower arrangement can be learned from scratch."

Akashi Seijuro smiled slightly as the girl's eyes widened in astonishment.

"I wish you a pleasant trip."

Surrounded by gentle fireflies, old photos are reduced to ashes of time bit by bit.

It is clearly not burning, but it seems to be burning.

Sakino Qiho suddenly had more memories that did not belong to her.

not enough.

Just before leaving, Sakino Nanasui finally knew where those incomplete souls were.

If it is a fictitious image, the system should set this body as red hair.

"father……"

With a bang, the world was silent.

In the boundless space of the system, Nanaho Sakino twirled a photo with her fingertips.

Ah, what a pity.

Almost.

She hasn't been able to yell yet.
