[Comprehensive] Let me go and let me die

Edogawa Ranpo

Edogawa Ranpo could have been a carefree young man until his life ushered in the first turning point.

—the death of the parents.

This made him fall into a world other than his parents, alone and at a loss.

He finds that grown-ups are so false, deceitful, and superficial that he doesn't fit in with Big.He can't understand the outside world anyway.

Why pretend not to know?

I'm obviously helping you guys?

Why are you scolding me?

Isn't this something that everyone knows?

Just when he was about to fail, he met the second turning point in his life.

——A young dessert shop owner.

He saw a lot of things from her at the first sight.

Both parents died, was adopted, was boarded, and the adopter was persuaded, which showed that he could communicate with adults.He has a gentle personality, likes to be quiet, and is not very curious. He loves comics, games, and desserts. Most importantly, she will never mind his affairs.

Is this the companion God gave me?

Thinking of this, Ranpo Edogawa, who had just been fired from his previous job, opened the door of the dessert shop briskly with a smile.

Since then, he has found a 'owner' who can accommodate him.

Life after that was as he had expected.

He lived in the shopkeeper's house and was taken to buy clothes. Even if he wanted to go to the snack shop many times in the middle of the way or saw the roadside stalls, he would buy them for himself in a good temper.When I said that I was tired from walking, I didn't think I was troublesome, but rested with myself.

but……

This is all on purpose!

Edogawa Ranpo, who was sitting on the chair honestly, looked at the figure who told him not to move and went to buy milk tea for him, but felt sore in his heart.

He thought that no one could tolerate him except his parents...

After that, things were as lucky as the protagonist in the novel.

Together with the small shopkeeper, I met Mr. Fukuzawa.

It turned out that he was not a different kind, but a powerful user with different abilities.

With the help of the small shopkeeper, he successfully bonded with Mr. Fukuzawa, and together he founded an organization such as the Armed Detective Agency.

So the shopkeeper was indeed sent by heaven to save him!

Seeing the small shopkeeper seriously flipping through the manga beside him, Edogawa Ranpo nodded affirmatively in his heart.

Must be!

But... if only it wasn't always suicide.

Edogawa Ranpo would get angry every time he thought about it.

You obviously like the world too, don't you?Even though he likes snacks just like himself, he has things he likes and dislikes, so why is dreaming such a sad thing?

Obviously...Obviously nothing exists after death!

Just like his parents...

Edogawa Ranpo remembered the time when he first met the shopkeeper, and his willful agreement.

As long as he doesn't grow up, the small shopkeeper has no reason to abandon himself.

Thinking of this, Edogawa Ranpo indulged his self-willedness, like a child who can't grow up.

As long as he doesn't grow up, the shopkeeper will always pamper him, won't he?

But... when?

Why did the shopkeeper disappear?

Seeing that, the small shopkeeper who was brought back by Oda Sakunosuke had a peaceful face, and the corners of his mouth curled up as if he was just caught in a sweet dream.

"Small shopkeeper?"

Edogawa Ranpo's face was pale.

"what happened to you?"

He doesn't want to admit the truth.

"Are you asleep?"

He crouched down, lifted

He picked up the girl's cold hand and put it on his face, trying to warm her up again.

"Don't sleep, open your eyes, okay?"

he begged.

"Don't...don't...sleep again..."

However, all the clues told him that the person who said he would grow up with him would no longer open his eyes.

Has he... been left behind again?

Edogawa Ranpo was thinking blankly, his mind, which had all kinds of complicated information in the past, went blank.

"Random!"

whose voice?

"Edogawa Ranpo!"

The black-haired boy raised his face, his blue eyes were full of bewilderment, like a child who lost his way and couldn't find his parents.

His face was completely blank?

"Fukuzawa... sir?"

"Ranbu, you need to accept the facts now."

Fukuzawa Yukichi had a solemn expression.

Although his heart was churning with turbulent waves that could overturn the land, he knew that at this time, he must remain calm.

At this moment, if he is a little careless, Luanbu will enter into a thinking that he does not know.

And there is Chuya in the Central Plains!

Ranpo can be said to be powerful, but also very fragile.The same is true in some places in the Central Plains!

Fukuzawa Yukichi took a deep breath, he forcibly suppressed the throbbing pain in his heart, and stared closely at Edogawa Ranpo.

"Put on your glasses and use your supernatural powers to take a good look."

"Ability? Yes! My ability!"

Edogawa Ranpo took out his glasses from his clothes with trembling hands, and put them on his face impatiently.

【Super Reasoning】Activate.

Countless messages flashed through Edogawa Ranpo's mind.

What did she do, who did she meet, her mood...

In the end, it converged into an indescribable result.

"This...it's impossible!"

Edogawa Ranpo stood up in shock, and took a step back suddenly, not even caring about bumping into a chair.

"How is it possible! This is impossible!"

"what is the problem?"

Fukuzawa Yukichi frowned.

"The shopkeeper...was...poisoned...but..."

Edogawa Ranpo's tone was difficult, he just felt that he was too horrified to say the next words.

"but……"

But it turned out to be a natural death!As if her lifespan only lasted until now...

How can this be?

"This is impossible!"

Nakahara Chuya's whole body was flashing with red light, and his supernatural ability appeared along with his extremely unstable mood. The floor of the Armed Detective Agency was sunken several degrees downwards, and the sudden air current exploded violently.

"Tomorrow is fine! Who would dare to poison Ayou!!!"

There were extremely intense emotions in Zhongyuan Zhongye's eyes, and only a small stimulus was enough to cause a huge disaster.

Nakahara Chuya's fury did not affect Edogawa Ranpo in the slightest.He just looked at Ayou blankly, his heart was full of chaos.

Why is this so?

Obviously he hasn't grown up yet?

[Super Reasoning] Let Edogawa Ranpo see more accurately, he raised his hand, and took out a note from the pocket of Ayou who was smiling serenely.

It says:

Please don't be sad, my dream has finally come true, please be happy for me.

Shopkeeper, you already knew about this day, right?

Dreams...are they really that important?

However, Edogawa Ranpo had no way to refute, not even the slightest bit.

he recalled the first

time, the details of that capricious agreement.

It turns out... what I thought was not what I took for granted from the very beginning. The shopkeeper has actually fulfilled her promise.

'Before you came of age. '

When had he, of course, begun to think that growing up was not the same as being an adult?

Doesn't a person who has already grown up count as an adult?

The promise at the beginning—it turned out to be an adult...

Something went from the tip of the nose all the way to the eye sockets, and then some warm liquid flowed down, and the sound of water droplets falling continuously on the floor.

Edogawa raised his hand in a daze and touched his cheek in a daze. He lowered his head, and after seeing the transparent water marks on his hand, he finally burst into tears.

"Liar! Shopkeeper, you liar!"

From then on, even at the age of 26, the boy named Edogawa Ranpo still looked like he was not growing up, as if his time had been frozen at that moment.

Nakahara Chuya

The birth of a "person" named Nakahara Chuya can be said to be purely an accident.

Known as a safety device, after being injected with strong emotions, a personality was born.

Born in the Central Plains, the first thing he felt was 'goodwill'.

The girl named Quyou, from then on, the two depended on each other for life.

He clearly knows what he is, and he works hard to learn how to adapt to his human identity.

She took him to survive, she taught him how to live, she taught him knowledge and learning, and she tolerated all his 'abnormalities'.

As a nascent being, he absorbed all the knowledge that made him appear more like a human being.

However, only when he left her and faced other 'companions' did he realize that his anomaly had always existed, but he had been gently contained all the time.

Whether it is tolerance in life or protection in fleeing together.He always seemed to be the one to be protected when it mattered most.

If he can't protect her, is he really qualified to be with her like this?

Chuya Nakahara was thinking like this, after another life and death crisis, he forced himself to leave her to become stronger.

If the one who remains unchanged is the strongest, how can he protect her?Do you still want to be protected by her again and again, and then you can only look helplessly at her disastrous face and weak body?

Gritting his teeth, Zhong Yuanzhong also restrained his urge to turn around, forcing himself to move away step by step.

What followed was another day of twists and turns. He wandered around in the surrounding area, and because of his supernatural ability, he really gained some fame.

Then, he received an invitation named 'Sheep'.

Zhong Yuanzhong also raised his eyebrows and accepted the invitation.

It wasn't until he entered the interior of an organization that he realized that not all 'companions' were the same.

After actually staying in the crowd, he realized how precious kindness to a stranger who had nothing to do with him was so precious.

Here, the Central Plains also really know.

People will subconsciously measure a person's value, and then decide their attitude towards a person.

—even as a child.

He didn't care too much, as long as he improved his strength, it would be fine.So, soon because of him, Yang became a well-known force in the neighborhood, and after he settled down, he started a career of voyeurism from time to time.

Of course, how can observing your friends be considered voyeurism? _(:з」∠)_

Thinking about it this way, Chuya Chuya's voyeurism went on so smoothly.He watched her open the shop, and there were other little friends around her, shopping for the black-haired boy, touching the head of the black-haired boy, and comforting the black-haired boy.

Involuntarily, Nakahara also subtly tasted the emotion called jealousy (?)

.

Obviously, it turned out that this was all his, but now...

He really wanted to rush out and appear in front of Ayou immediately, but whenever he wanted to take actual action, he couldn't lift his feet.

The voice in his heart kept questioning him.

Can you protect her now?

Therefore, Zhongyuan Zhong could only watch them leave again and again.

He has been training himself desperately, whether it is physical or supernatural ability.

Until, an unexpected encounter.

so!

What's up with that super annoying Osamu Dazai?And what happened to the Uncle Lolicon who appeared in the middle?If he hadn't contacted the Armed Detective Agency in advance, I'm afraid Ayou would have been abducted by the other party!

What happened next?He joined the detective agency and lived with the other party again.

Why had he never found out?

That, the 'secret' that everyone knows.

At last……

The serene smile, the falling note, the rampant superpower, the subconsciously undestroyed room, the choker that can no longer be taken off.

Obviously you've noticed something, haven't you?Obviously my intuition has already issued a warning, why would I turn a blind eye?

Didn't you say you want to go see the scenery together?

Why don't you wait for me to come back?

and……

Is the self who doesn't pay attention really an accomplice?

Zhong Yuan Zhong also walked through the woods silently and came to a cliff.

The place where Ayou died last, now, her ashes are buried here.

This is the first time he has come here alone.

Everyone actually knows that Ayou doesn't really like to be lively.

But it seems that as long as she gets along with her, she becomes unable to let her stay alone.

She has always been gentle and tolerant of everyone.

Zhong Yuanzhong also sat in front of the tombstone, staring at the photo on the tombstone, and remained silent for a long time without moving.

In the follow-up inspection, everyone learned an impossible thing.

Even without the toxin, Ayou's life would have come to an end.

It seemed that her entire life was only those short ten years.

But how can a person's life only be ten years?

Then, the bastard named Osamu Dazai said something.

Ayou has the ability to heal.

Some things seemed to become clear in an instant.

Obviously know.

Ayou's supernatural ability is obviously just "marking the ground as a prison".

"you……"

As if suddenly realizing something, he paused, then spoke again.

"I sent Osamu Dazai to the hospital again. Although Ranpo said that you did it voluntarily, you didn't see Dazai's message at all. But..."

Zhong Yuanzhong also said a word of apology calmly.

"terribly sorry……"

Zhong Yuanzhong also pursed his lips.

"Only this matter, I can't be happy for you, am I too selfish?"

I don't want you to realize your dreams, regardless of your depression, I want you to live forever, I want to protect you, I want to be with you forever.

Even the expected future has you in it.

Zhong Yuanzhong also never thought about the possibility of Quyou's death.

Sure enough, I am too greedy...

He lowered his eyes, and his blue eyes, as beautiful as the sea, gradually gathered little water marks.

Clearly...obviously...

He asked a question that was destined to have no answer.

"Is death that attractive to you?"

Make you willing to let go of all the fetters and pursue again and again?

It is obviously such a gentle existence, and what it brings to people is also a warm color.

Why is Dudu so cruel to himself?

How does this make me face a future without you alone?

The breeze rustled the leaves, the sun shone through the leaves overhead, and dappled spots of light printed on the cold tombstones.

After a while, Zhong Yuan Zhong also spoke in a hoarse voice.

"I've been thinking about one thing a lot lately."

He involuntarily raised his hand to touch the choker on his neck.

——It was given to him by Ayou.

He began to get used to having such a thing around his neck, feeling its existence all the time, as if something was restraining him.

He knew he was bound.

Not so hard, but gentle and sweet.

On a sunny afternoon, with a faint sunshine, she raised her head and smiled softly at you, then stretched out her hand.

The time is right.

So he delivered willingly, without the slightest rebellion, just like that, bound by the emotion called 'love'.

It is 'love'.

Originally, he was a safety device to restrain Huang Ba's vomiting.

Now, he is an inhuman being bound by love.

【Central Plains Chuya】was tamed by 【Quyou】.

Just like the little fox in "The Little Prince".

"If you tame me, we will be indispensable to each other. To me, you are the only one in the world; to you, I am the only one in the world."

Perhaps, as early as the beginning, he was 'tamed' by the other party?

"What exactly do you mean to me?"

Is it the leader?Is it a partner?are friends?or family?Or is there something more profound?

It seems that during your existence I have not thought about such a mundane question.

Zhong Yuanzhong, who was alone, finally stopped controlling his emotions and let the water in his eyes gather.

"pat-"

Transparent tears gushed out of the eyes, and then fell on the grass along the trajectory. They quickly drilled into the soil and disappeared without traces. If it weren't for the wet traces that emerged on the grass blades, it would be as if they had never existed.

"now I know."

Zhong Yuanzhong also raised his head, with tears in his blue eyes.He looked at the girl smiling as always in the photo, and tried hard to raise the corners of her mouth.

"It's the only one."

He could feel it from the very beginning.

He and Ayou have always been the only ones for each other.
