"Ranpo? Weren't you still angry at Xiaoxue just now?"

Fukuzawa Yukichi was a little confused as to why Edogawa Ranpo changed his mind.

"Well, I was still angry just now, but Ranpo-sama is the world's number one detective, so he is very generous! He won't argue with a child!

And it is much more difficult to teach Xiaoxue to make her own decisions than to understand her emotions! I was going to hand Yosano over to Ranpo and the president! The president is so busy, I am being sensible and trying to lighten his burden~ The president must give me a reward! "

Fukuzawa Yukichi listened to Edogawa Ranpo's explanation, and continued to gently rub Mori Yukichi's hair with his hands, but his face became more serious, and finally he made the final decision:

"Okay, in that case, Ranpo will be responsible for teaching Xiaoxue. If the teaching results are good, I will reward you and Xiaoxue!"

"Great! Xiaoxue - wait, let's change the name, otherwise every time I call Xiaoxue I will think of that person~ Since he is someone that our detective agency hates, we must prevent him from appearing!

Hmm... Let me think... Edogawa... How about Conan? He sounds like a detective who never grows up, although he's still not as good as Ranpo~"

Edogawa Ranpo has begun to exercise his "privilege" as a mentor - naming his students after the male protagonists in comics.

"Mr. Ranpo, that's the name from the comics, it may involve copyright issues..."

Yosano Akiko had just put her worries to rest, but they were raised again because of Edogawa Ranpo.

"Okay, what about Edogawa Dole? Edogawa Moss? Edogawa..." Edogawa Ranpo continued to think divergently.

"Mr. Ranpo, don't put other people's names after your last name just for fun. You are still a minor! Even the last name on the adoption documents should be Fukuzawa as in Mr. Fukuzawa!"

Yosano Akiko saw that Edogawa Ranpo was having too much fun, and promptly brought in Fukuzawa Yukichi to stop him.

"I'm only eight months away from adulthood!"

"Since you're a minor, it's ok, why don't you follow my last name and call me Yosano?"

"...Okay, okay, let's just use the president's last name. It's not bad to use the president's last name to replace that person's last name."

"Fukuzawa Yuki? That's a bit strange."

"Let's go with Fukuzawa Conan."

"Mr. Ranpo..."

"Hey, I haven't agreed to use my last name yet."

Fukuzawa Yukichi, who had been watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but remind the two people in front of him as if they had already decided on their surnames.

"Sakura..." Mori Xue, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said in a low voice.

"Huh?" Hearing Sen Xue's sudden words, the three of them immediately stopped and looked at Sen Xue.

"さくら...Sakura...Fukuzawa...Sakura."

"Sakura...very good, let's call her Fukuzawa Sakura!"

"See, Sakura can make his own decisions now. It was indeed the right decision to let Ranpo-sama teach him!"

"...If it's Xiaoxue...Okay."

Hearing that Mori Xue, no, now called Fukuzawa Sakura, was willing to take the initiative to put forward her own ideas, the other three tacitly did not object.

Yosano Akiko looked at Fukuzawa Sakura with some concern, knowing that he named her "Sakura" because of that person...

"Very good, it's time to get off work! Sakura, come back with me!"

Edogawa Ranpo looked at the time, stood up and prepared to take Fukuzawa Sakura back to his home.

"Eh? Mr. Ranpo, we don't have to live together to teach you, right?"

When Yosano Akiko thought that Fukuzawa Sakura was going to be snatched away by Edogawa Ranpo, she suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

"Ying is a boy, right? Although he has no gender concept yet, since I am his teacher, of course I have to teach him about gender recognition! So of course he has to live with me!"

Edogawa Ranpo had a matter-of-fact expression on his face and refused to give in on the issue of Fukuzawa Sakura's accommodation.

"..."

Yosano Akiko then realized that neither Tachihara Masaaki nor herself had corrected Fukuzawa Sakura who was led astray by Mori Ogai.

Fukuzawa Sakura is a boy. Although I don't mean that boys can't wear skirts, I forced her to wear a princess dress when she didn't have any gender concept. I and Tachihara Masaaki acted as if it was normal. Sometimes I even helped Fukuzawa Sakura put on the princess dress. It's really wrong...

Thinking about how Fukuzawa Sakura comforted herself by hugging and patting her on the back last night, I guess this has become a fixed pattern of comfort in her mind.

If this is not corrected, the excuse of "the child is still young" can still be used now, but when Fukuzawa Sakura grows up a little, if everyone goes up to hug her, regardless of gender, it will surely cause chaos.

Only then did Yosano Akiko realize the importance of gender concepts. She thanked Edogawa Ranpo and promised to deliver the things she bought for Fukuzawa Sakura to Edogawa Ranpo's house later. Then she happily watched Edogawa Ranpo take her child, no, Fukuzawa Sakura away.

Yosano Akiko turned around and suddenly found that Fukuzawa Yukichi was still there, looking at the door with a complicated expression.

"Mr. Fukuzawa?"

"Yosano, Sakura... is he a boy?"

"Ah, sorry, Mr. Fukuzawa, didn't I tell you that Sakura is a boy, he just always has long hair."

A few months later, Fukuzawa Yukichi, like his master Natsume Soseki, was also shocked by the term "transvestite".
