On the bustling street, Ayou and Edogawa Ranbu stood on the sidewalk and looked at each other, the expressions on their faces were exactly the same.

"Ranbu you..."

Ayou looked at the equally confused Edogawa Ranpo with a strange expression.

"You tell me now that you can't go back?"

Didn't you successfully lead me from the dessert shop to the teahouse?Why do I have to return from the teahouse to the dessert shop after eating now...

At this time, Edogawa Luanbu looked at the red light on the side of the road with wandering eyes, and actually felt a little guilty in his heart.

I just made up my mind to take care of the little shopkeeper, now...

And when you want to eat, of course you can find a place to eat. As for the way back...cough, it's normal not to remember the way after eating...is it...

"I... I can definitely find it! I think it must be here!"

The words at the beginning were full of guilty conscience, but when it came to the end, Edogawa Ranpo suddenly raised his hand exaggeratedly, pointed to the road opposite the zebra crossing mentally, and promised Ayou sternly.

"That's right, it's here, I'll definitely be able to go back this time!"

After speaking, he took Ayou's hand and walked aggressively through the road that had turned into a green light.

5 minutes later……

Ayou: "..."

Edogawa Ranpo: "..."

Ah... What a familiar teahouse.

Edogawa Ranpo's whole body was in a bad state, he instantly languished, even the hair that was stubbornly raised up on weekdays also drooped, and a dark cloud filled the top of his head.

No...it shouldn't be!

Ayou sighed, and then looked serious.

"At this time, I can only use a trick!"

Edogawa, who was squatting on the ground, moved his ears in disorder, raised his head instantly after hearing the keyword 'unique move', and looked at Ayou with bright eyes.

Ayou lived up to expectations and took out the mobile phone from the bag, and then searched for someone who would be more reliable at this time.

Edogawa Ranpo stood up and moved over curiously.

In alphabetical order, the list in the phone book is:

xx takeaway

xx housekeeping

Uncle Natsume

xx takeaway

Doctors

xx takeaway

Zhongye

Oda

xx takeaway

Hmm... There are really a lot of takeaways.

Uncle Natsume is very busy, so the trivial matter of getting lost doesn’t bother him at all, the doctor is too far away from here, it’s impossible, Chuya...

Ayou puffed up her cheeks.

They obviously have each other's phone numbers, but they left without saying anything, until now they haven't called themselves a single time!

Forget it... who made him his male god! (cover face)

Looking back at the list, there was only the last person left in the phone book.

——Oda Sakunosuke.

Do you want to fight?

Ayou looked at the name and fell into deep thought.

"Since this is the only candidate, of course we'll pass!"

Edogawa Ranbu on the side looked at Ayou's hesitant expression, immediately stretched out his hand without saying a word, poked the screen a few times, and successfully called the phone.

"Alas???"

The phone suddenly became unstable and almost fell to the ground. After Ayou held it steady, he looked at the interface. The phone was quickly connected by Oda Sakunosuke, and the clear boyish voice on the other side came out of the phone's microphone.

"Ayou, what's the matter?"

Obviously when he should have doubts, Oda Sakunosuke's tone was calm as if he didn't have doubts at all.

"Oda, are you free now?"

"some."

Ayou took a deep breath, and then said her request carefully and seriously.

"Help, Oda! I'm lost, can you help me and take me home! QAQ"

Although she tried her best to be serious, Ayou couldn't help but feel a little pathetic and... coquettish in her tone at the end.

"I see."

Oda Sakunosuke's tone remained calm and unwavering.

"So where are you now, I'll go there now."

Ayou's eyes lit up instantly, and her tone was full of joy.

"Great! The xx teahouse in xx street! Trouble!"

After the communication, Ayou happily stood on tiptoe and patted Edogawa Ranpo's shoulder.

"Ranbu, we are saved!"

But Edogawa Ranpo, who should have been happy, suddenly said something that surprised Ayu.

"So, did you find that killer named Oda to assassinate yourself and then you were fine?"

At this time, Edogawa Ranpo, who didn't know how strange things could happen to Lucky EX, just knew that his shopkeeper was a strange kid who often committed suicide.

But this success rate...

Listening to the voice, isn't the killer the kind who will show mercy?

Edogawa Ranpo couldn't help looking at Ayou with probing eyes.

Obviously many things show that she often commits suicide, but there is no scar on her body...

It's really full of strange feelings from the beginning to the end...

How the hell did he know? !

At this time, Ayou panicked for a moment and then calmed down.

calm down!With Edogawa Ranpo's small brain, he knows that everything is right!often!of!

It's not just to stop myself with righteous words!

Thinking of this, Ayou smiled again and spoke seriously.

"Well, yes, Ranpo, you should be more polite when you meet Oda, you know? Oda is a mature boy who can live a good life in the world of adults!"

Edogawa Ranpo's eyes widened instantly, and he involuntarily took up the conversation.

"So we can ask him how he did it, and then we can use it as a reference!"

Fool it!

Ayou squeezed sweat in her heart, and then echoed Edogawa Ranpo with a serious face.

"Well, so let's wait."

Oda Sakunosuke, who had just completed an order, was indeed a little surprised when he received the call, because the time for the [designated assassination] he had agreed with Ayu had not yet arrived.

The so-called [designated assassination] means that Oda Sakunosuke would assassinate Ayu from time to time every Monday if he was free.After all, what if it succeeds?And Ayou didn't go whoring for nothing, she paid for it.

And it's Friday, two days before Monday.Oda Sakunosuke even wondered in his heart whether Ayu had a sudden whim and wanted to assassinate her immediately.

Unexpectedly, when he connected the phone, what came was... a call for help?

Knowing the situation, Oda Sakunosuke sighed in his heart.

Getting lost...it's really scary...

After all, Oda Sakunosuke himself has never experienced the feeling of being lost, but it must be more terrifying than death to make Ayu, who is determined to die, say 'help'.

Oda Sakunosuke, who didn't feel that he was complaining at all, put away his phone and rushed towards the place Ayu said.

Then he saw Ayou and a black-haired boy who was about his age squatting in the corner of the roadside, mumbling and talking about something.

Ayou, who was seriously discussing with Edogawa Ranpo how to learn from Oda Sakunosuke, took the time to casually look at the roadside, and saw Oda Sakunosuke walking towards her at a glance.

Her eyes lit up instantly.

Edogawa, who was next to Ayou, followed her gaze randomly, and instantly identified the red-haired boy who was not much different from him in the crowd.

The moment his eyes made contact, his expression instantly became serious, and even his squinted eyes slowly opened, revealing his hidden emerald eyes.

"Oda! Here!"

Ayou hurriedly pulled Edogawa to his feet, and quickly walked towards the red-haired boy.

"Wow! Oda, you are my savior!"

Bringing Edogawa Ranpo to Oda Sakunosuke's side, Ayu looked at the expressionless red-haired boy with bright eyes, and thanked him sincerely.

Oda Sakunosuke nodded.

"Well, it's alright."

On the other side, Edogawa Ranpo took a few glances at Oda Sakunosuke, then quietly moved a few steps towards Ayu, bent down and moved closer to Ayu's ear.

"I don't think it will be very effective to ask him. After all, he is a top-notch killer, and we can't be killers either."

He saw at a glance that this boy named Oda had assassinated a target neatly before he came.

Edogawa's very light voice of chaotic steps came into Ayou's ears, his lips were close to Ayou's ears, and the warm air flow caused by his words made her want to rub her ears.

"Is that so?"

Ayou turned her head slightly to look at Edogawa Ranbu whose face was on her shoulder, then raised her hand to stroke his hair.

"Then we can ask someone else, let's go home now."

On the way back, Edogawa Ranpo seemed to be turned on some ADHD switch.

I deserted halfway and went astray twice.

After two times, Ayou changed to holding his hand and walking.

I fell in love with a certain snack on the side of the road and wanted to eat it three times.

Ayou bought it for him three times.

Ask Sakunosuke Oda about the killer's life four times.

Oda Sakunosuke's expression remained unchanged but he answered him anyway.

Whispering why he still didn't get tired from walking five times.

Ayou comforted him five times with a good temper.

In the end, Ranbu also puffed up his cheeks as if giving up, and looked at Ayou with his blue eyes full of strange brilliance.

"I said..."

He lengthened his voice.

"Aren't you angry, little shopkeeper?"

"What's there to be angry about?"

Without stopping, Ayou turned her head and looked at Edogawa in confusion.

"..."

As if choking on Ayou's words, Edogawa Ranpo's expression went blank for a moment, and then he looked even angrier.

He turned his head and didn't speak again.

???

Ayou was dumbfounded.

After 30 minutes, the three of them finally managed to return to the door of the dessert shop when the suddenly quiet Luanbu was no longer 'whimsical'.

However, it only took about 10 minutes for her to go with Ranpo...

but……

"Finally home!"

Ayou happily opened the door, beckoned the two teenagers behind him into the house, and went to the back kitchen to pour them a glass of water.

"Thank you."

"Hey? I want sweet milk tea..."

Compared with the polite Oda Sakunosuke, Edogawa Ranpo seemed much more casual. He looked at the white water in the cup in front of him for a few seconds with resisting eyes, and then he reluctantly picked up the cup slowly and took a small sip. stand up.

"I'm already burning, please wait a little longer, Ranpo."

Taking a comforting glance at Edogawa Ranpo, Ayu turned his attention to Oda Sakunosuke who had just finished drinking water.

"Nah~ Oda!"

Ayou pulled out the chair and sat next to Oda Sakunosuke, looking at him expectantly.

"Although today is not the designated time, but since it is here, let's try!"

Oda Sakunosuke's face was still expressionless, he turned his head to look at Ayu who looked expectant, and nodded calmly.

Anyway, the estimated result is not much different...

The 15-year-old first-class killer Oda Sakunosuke said that he has already seen the fact that he can successfully kill Ayou.

It's time to be surprised when he can really die. Before that, the most important thing he should think about is what kind of weird way he will fail to kill.

'Boom--'

There was a loud sound, and Ayu and Odasaku turned their heads to look at the source of the sound, and saw that Edogawa Ranpo had already stood up, and he slapped the cup on the table forcefully On the table, the unfinished water in the cup splashed onto his hand with force, and then dripped down on the table along the skin.

The moment Ayou spoke, he understood the hidden meaning behind her words, and panic flashed in Edogawa Ranpo's heart.

He just found someone who doesn't ask questions like other people and always looks at them with strange eyes. How could he let her just let the killer kill him like this!

"I won't allow it!"

Edogawa Ranpo suddenly stood up, looked directly at Ayu and Oda Sakunosuke in front of him, his voice was very excited, and he even felt a little panic in his heart.

It would be fine if he didn't see it, but Ayou discussed suicide with Oda Sakunosuke in front of him, which made him unbearable no matter what.

In fact, he has always hated the country, hated that village, hated everyone in that village except his father and mother, but after coming to Yokohama, he began to hate those adults again.

Now, he met with great difficulty, and made him feel that he is the person he likes the most besides his parents, how could he just let her go like a father and mother and never come back again!

Edogawa Ranpo felt very aggrieved, his usually shimmering blue eyes dimmed now, and there seemed to be something fragile shaking in his eyes, letting him see him for no reason People feel distressed.

He just stared straight at Ayou, like a kitten who knew he was going to be left behind.

He couldn't participate in the past, but if the future is still like this...

You promised to study the rules of adults with me.

and……

If even the small shopkeeper disappears, no one will forgive me...
