[Comprehensive] Let me go and let me die

After 15 minutes of hanging around outside, Ayu returned to the hall, but only saw Fukuzawa Yukichi alone, and Edogawa Ranpo, who was supposed to be with Fukuzawa Yukichi, disappeared.

???

Why did you lose the person after talking about it? !

Facing Ayou's suspicious eyes, Fukuzawa Yukichi looked calm on the surface, but looked sideways at Ayou in embarrassment.

After all, he didn't expect that Ranpo would disappear immediately. You know, when facing the girls who are with Ranpo, Fukuzawa Yukichi always has the feeling that Ranpo is the younger one, and the younger one, Ayu, is the parent's. Feel.

You got rid of other people's children, and now you are sorry to the other people's parents, I didn't watch him?

Fukuzawa Yukichi thinks that even a parent has to explode...

But fortunately, one of Fukuzawa Yukichi's greatest strengths is that no matter how turbulent his heart is, his surface can remain as steady as a mountain.

Just listen to his calm opening.

"Ranbu said he was going to try to stop this murder case, so let me come back and tell you not to worry about him."

"Oh……"

Ayou blinked, then nodded, and sat back in her seat.

"Is that so..."

Seeing Ayou's plain appearance, Fukuzawa Yukichi, who originally hoped that the parents would not explode, became a little puzzled.

"Little girl, you..."

He thought about it, and then asked Ayou.

"Aren't you worried about wandering?"

Ayou turned her head and looked at Fukuzawa Yukichi who was as immobile as a mountain.

"Uncle, since you have already talked carefully with Ranbu, then you should know the ability of Ranbu."

Fukuzawa Yukichi's eyes softened slightly.

"You guided him all this time?"

"Not to mention guidance."

Ayou's eyes moved to the dark place in the corner, her eyes were out of focus, and she seemed to be trapped in memories.

"The first time I encountered Luanpo was a month ago, when Luanpo came to my shop and said he wanted to work part-time."

etc?your store?Your shop?

Fukuzawa Yukichi frowned slightly.

Ayou didn't look at Fukuzawa Yukichi, she just continued with a soft voice.

"At that time, he had just been kicked out of his previous job. He was penniless and didn't even have a place to live..."

Having said that, Ayou smiled lightly.

"And then he got attached to me, maybe because of my age."

Ayou turned her head to look at Fukuzawa Yukichi next to her, and then she spoke jokingly.

"As you can see, I am ten years old, and I am still a little girl~"

Fukuzawa Yukichi twitched the corner of his mouth stiffly.

He's really much more mature than Ranpo's [-]-year-old boy...

but……

"Aren't you curious?"

Ayou tilted her head strangely, and repeated.

"curious?"

"Yes."

Fukuzawa Yukichi nodded.

"As you can see, Ranpo has a rare reasoning ability in the world. He can deduce the result the moment he sees it. Have you never been curious?"

Like when he was in the backstage passage before, if he didn't want to know, this girl probably wouldn't have asked about the chaos.

"I……"

Ayou frowned slightly, and looked at Fukuzawa Yukichi who raised the question with some hesitation.

"Why should I be curious?"

Little girl, have you never been curious?

Ayou didn't wait for Fukuzawa Yukichi to speak before continuing.

"If you are curious about why Ranpo can do it or how to do it, there is really not much. For me, if Ranpo can do it, he can do it. Why should I be curious about how he did it? Just like most people don’t pay attention to how the chef makes it when they eat.”

Giving a simple example, Ayou continued.

"Actually, the day Luanbu came to work here, I knew he was different. After all, his difference is obvious."

In the darkness, Ayu leaned on the armrest of the chair with his elbows, then propped his face up, staring seriously at Fukuzawa Yukichi's eyes.

"I just thought that if he worked so hard, although I can't understand his world, I should be able to help him."

Fukuzawa Yukichi took a deep look at Ayou.

Help a stranger you've only known for a few days...

"Although I don't know what you said to Ranpo, but..."

Ayou bent her eyes and showed a smile. She was clearly in a dark theater, but her eyes seemed to be shining with pure joy.

"It would be great if Luanbu could no longer be like that!"

Fukuzawa Yukichi knew what the girl in front of him was talking about, that 15 minutes ago, Edogawa Ranpo who was even showing resentment here.

He shouldn't be like this, a boy of Luanbu's age should be happy and carefree.

He was silent for a moment, then spoke in a deep voice.

"Not anymore."

Fukuzawa Yukichi's eyes were full of seriousness.

"Ranpo has correctly recognized his talent and accepted it."

Although there are some deviations, for example, I lied to Ranbu that the reason why he is different is actually because he is a person with different abilities, but——

Fukuzawa Yukichi felt relieved.

The boy named Edogawa Ranpo got a new life because of this.

"Is that so."

Ayou turned around and sat up straight, her eyes seemed to be watching the performance that had been prepared on the stage, Fukuzawa Yukichi couldn't see her expression clearly, only her voice could be heard.

However, her voice made those who heard it inexplicably feel light.

"That's all right."

The drama on the stage had already started, and the audience in the audience had already taken their seats, but Fukuzawa Yukichi felt that the waiting time was a bit tormented, but before he could do anything, an actor on the stage suddenly interrupted his words.

A sharp knife pierced through the actor's chest.

Fukuzawa Yukichi rushed out the moment he saw it, and came to the actor.

"ambulance!"

Fukuzawa Yukichi shouted at the actor on the other side.

"Notify the police outside and close the entire theater!"

At this time, the audience who seemed to have reacted became restless.

"Don't move!"

Fukuzawa Yukichi shouted again in the direction of the auditorium.

"Now everyone sit back in their seats!"

However, the restless crowd didn't care about his words. Most of the people were creatures who followed the crowd and blindly followed. They couldn't tell where the leader started. The voice quickly overwhelmed that of Fukuzawa Yukichi, and they crowded and wanted to rush towards the exit of the theater.

Fukuzawa Yukichi blocked the exit with his whole body, but it didn't work. He couldn't change a group of panic-stricken humans by himself without harming others, so he could only watch all this dejectedly.

Just when Fukuzawa Yukichi felt helpless, he felt someone grab his sleeve.

"Well, as long as they get back to their seats."

He turned his head and looked at the young child talking to him calmly. For some reason, he nodded in a strange way.

"I see."

Ayou nodded, and the illusion instantly enveloped the entire theater.

Fukuzawa Yukichi looked at the theater in horror as if the pause button had been pressed. The people who had been squeezing out just now stood motionless like marionettes, and stood there with a dull expression.

People turned around slowly, and one by one quietly walked back to their original seats. The whole process was even too silent.

Fukuzawa Yukichi suddenly turned his head and stared at the girl who did this.

This ability!

It can only be a different ability!It is still the most mysterious and unpredictable spiritual system!

Fukuzawa Yukichi could no longer keep his composure.

He originally thought that Edogawa Ranpo, a young man with abnormal cognition, was the most troublesome, but he didn't expect this well-behaved girl to be the most troublesome!

No, Fukuzawa Yukichi, you have to calm down.

Fukuzawa Yukichi took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

Unlike Ranpo, who was almost jealous of the world, this girl looked like the kind of child with a normal and well-behaved personality.

And the most important thing now is to find the murderer.

Fukuzawa Yukichi began to look around with sharp eyes.

The ambulance arrived soon, and the actor who was assassinated was also picked up by the ambulance. Fukuzawa Yukichi also felt a little irritable.

The murderer may be hiding in this theater, perhaps an actor or a staff member, or even one of the audience.

The police had already assembled and controlled the surrounding area. Ayou quietly let go of the illusion, gave a mental hint not to run casually, and made everyone forget about being controlled.

After all, the spiritual system is often more feared than the pure attack system.

At this moment, a policeman ran to Fukuzawa Yukichi in a panic.

"Master Bodyguard. There is an audience member who is missing!"

"Gone?"

Fukuzawa Yukichi frowned, and walked towards the place where the police were most densely populated. Ayou blinked and followed.

"what happened?"

The policeman in front of the computer turned around and frowned.

"I can be sure that there is no loophole in our siege, and there is absolutely no trace of anyone going out. However, the guest just disappeared. No one was found in the bathroom or the infirmary. I don't even know how he disappeared."

Fukuzawa Yukichi asked in a deep voice.

"What is the seat and appearance?"

"Wearing a coat, a blue suit and a round hat, he is a very gentleman-looking middle-aged man with a wooden cane in his hand."

Fukuzawa Yukichi immediately realized that he had met this man before, because his temperament really impressed him, so he wrote it down.

The lead policeman continued.

"This man's name is Takumi Asano, he is 35 years old, and he came alone."

Listening to what they said, Ayou felt that the description was slightly familiar. She poked her head over and glanced at the monitoring picture played back on the screen.

Damn, isn't this Uncle Natsume!

Ayou quickly turned her head, pretending that she didn't see anything.

Since we are acquaintances, we can only pretend to be stupid! _(:з」∠)_

A woman ran over from a distance, saying that she was walking around to let Fukuzawa Yukichi go back to his seat, um, to take Ayu.

When Ayou sat on the seat, the originally dark stage was suddenly illuminated by the strong lights on the ceiling, and a familiar figure appeared in the very center of the stage.

"LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL!"

I saw Edogawa Ranpo who suddenly appeared, first laughed a series of laughs, and then opened his mouth to mock.

"It's so useless, so stupid, so stupid! Useless mortals' anxious expressions are lined up neatly! From here, it looks like a market selling anxious faces, so interesting! You can see the price tags oh!"

Ayou was dumbfounded.

What the hell happened to you?Why did you suddenly start secondary school? ! !

Not only did Ayou look confused, but even Fukuzawa Yukichi was also confused.

This... Is there something wrong with this boy's new life?

On the stage, Edogawa proudly pushed his black-rimmed eyes, opened his mouth and said a lot of ironic words, and then began to reveal the truth of the whole murder case.

When everything was over, Edogawa walked off the stage in random steps and returned to the hall, his face was full of complacency.

"how do you feel?"

Fukuzawa Yukichi asked first.

"of course……"

Edogawa Ranpo's smile widened.

"Super—cool—la——!"

After he finished speaking, he bent down and looked at Ayou with his blue eyes proudly.

"Small shopkeeper, I know!"

Edogawa Ranpo's tone was very cheerful.

"You are also a person with supernatural abilities—"

He dragged out his voice, bringing out a feeling of complaining and acting like a baby.

"It's not a strange thing, you didn't tell me before, let me tell you, little shopkeeper, I can control my supernatural power now! I don't have to worry about those adults anymore, and there are-"

When he said this, his tone was full of confidence.

"The name of my ability is [Super Reasoning]! I will become the world's number one detective!"

Seeing that the whole person seems to be walking around the gleaming Edo River, Ayou couldn't help but smile.

"Well, I believe you! Ranpo will be the best detective in the world!"

"But speaking of it..."

Edogawa Ranpo took off the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said excitedly.

"As expected of the glasses with special abilities. Once I put them on, I can think clearly and reason very smoothly. With these glasses and my special abilities, I am invincible!"

Seeing Edogawa Ranpo who was eager to try, Fukuzawa Yukichi who knew the truth only felt a slight pain in his stomach.

Because this pair of glasses is just an ordinary pair of glasses that he bought at a grocery store by the side of the road for only 100 yen...

It seemed that everything was over. When the police needed to record the transcript, although Ayou expressed his intention to go with Edogawa Ranpo, he rejected it righteously.

"Ranbu you..."

Ayou glanced at Edogawa Ranpo strangely.

"Are you sure you can get it back without me?"

"Mr. Police will send me back."

Edogawa Ranpo said the next sentence with a face of course.

"And Mr. Fukuzawa will protect me."

"Is that so?"

Have you started to change from uncle to Mr. Fukuzawa?

Ayu took another look at Fukuzawa Yukichi who was expressionless and exuding a strong sense of reliability, and agreed with Edogawa Ranpo.

Fukuzawa Yukichi only felt that his stomach hurt even more.

Ayou took out a pen and paper from her satchel, wrote down her address and phone number, and handed it to Fukuzawa Yukichi.

"I'm still not worried about Luanbu, here is my phone number and address, Luanbu lives with me, and I can just send it here when the time comes, and Luanbu may sometimes compare with that...cough."

Speaking of this, Ayou's eyes wandered in Edogawa's dissatisfied gaze.

Luanbu, don't look at me like that, you usually don't know how much you do yourself, but as long as someone who has stayed by your side, they must have something in their hearts...

"Anyway, forgive me a lot."

After seeing Fukuzawa Yukichi take the small note, Ayou nodded to the two, and then got into a police car specially for delivering people.

However, what Ayou didn't expect was that when Edogawa came back that night, the extremely clear slap marks on her face made her almost explode.

"Who the hell hit you?!"

Although this son (not) is very aggressive, I am not even willing to beat him!Who the fuck did it? !

"It's fine."

With a clear slap mark on his face, Edogawa Ranpo did not feel wronged by the slap at all, instead his mood was brighter than ever.

"It was because I did something wrong that Mr. Fukuzawa punished me. I now know that I was wrong. And now I have a more important matter to discuss with the shopkeeper."

As he said that, Edogawa Ranpo moved closer to Ayou with a happy expression, his blue eyes sparkling.

"Hey, little shopkeeper, how can I keep working with Mr. Fukuzawa?"

"Activities together?"

Ayou blinked, pondered for a while, and then looked at Edogawa Ranpo seriously.

"Then you can stick to it."

Edogawa Ranpo's expression was a little worried, and he lowered his eyelids in frustration, looking very aggrieved.

"But Mr. Fukuzawa...the way Mr. Fukuzawa doesn't want to be with me..."

"nothing!"

Ayou stood on tiptoe and patted Edogawa Ranpo's shoulder, speaking earnestly.

"At a time like this, facing a cold-faced and warm-hearted person like Mr. Fukuzawa, you have to take the initiative to cling to him. When he gets used to you, it's time for you to form a team and fight all over the world!"

Edogawa Ranpo's eyes lit up again, and he looked at Ayou with a burning gaze.

"How about this……"

Ayou bent his eyes and smiled.

"Tomorrow I will go with you, let's strive to follow Mr. Fukuzawa wherever he goes, and you can also give advice to Mr. Fukuzawa, after a long time, Mr. Fukuzawa is used to being with you. ...Hmph~"

Ayou narrowed his eyes, and the smile on his face gradually widened.
