Zongman: Hong Kong's black ceiling but autistic, what should I do?

When Fukuzawa Yukichi finished a day of socializing and returned to the detective agency, he saw this scene:

Yosano Akiko sat next to Edogawa Ranpo, her mouth wide open, looking at the person on the sofa in shock.

Edogawa Ranpo was wearing glasses, and his wide green eyes showed his surprise. Of course, Edogawa Ranpo's right hand did not forget to use a spoon to put the cake on the table into his mouth.

On the sofa, an "unknown creature" that looked very much like Sakura Fukuzawa, but Fukuzawa Yukichi would never admit that it was Sakura Fukuzawa, was molesting the defenseless kitten.

"Tuantuan~Tell me...are you...tempting me~Look...brother...will...kiss...you...to death~hehehehehe~"

“You’re still using… your little… paws… to press against… my… face… do you… want… your brother… to… kiss… your… little hands… first… hehehehehehe…”

"The little face...is also so...cute...look at me...swallow it in one gulp...ah!...Tuantuan..."

"Sakura, what are you doing?"

Fukuzawa Yukichi, with a gloomy face, grabbed Fukuzawa Sakura's head when she really opened her mouth to swallow Tuantuan's head. Tuantuan took the opportunity to escape from Fukuzawa Sakura's clutches, and quickly ran to Edogawa Ranpo's legs, meowing pitifully.

"Forehead..."

Fukuzawa Sakura struggled to break free from Fukuzawa Yukichi's control, turned to look at Fukuzawa Yukichi and said:

"The client...is not here...I was afraid...Tuantuan...would run away...so...I brought Tuantuan...back...to play with him."

"???"

Fukuzawa Yukichi was confused and could not connect Fukuzawa Sakura's current behavior with playing with kittens, so he turned to ask Fukuzawa Sakura's teacher, Edogawa Ranpo.

"Ranpo, is this within your expectations?"

"..."

Edogawa Ranpo stopped eating the cake, lowered his head and was silent for a while, then he pretended to be deep and said:

“Unexpected, but reasonable”

Edogawa Ranpo knew that when Fukuzawa Sakura went out, she would definitely let Xiao Hei handle the commission, and Fukuzawa Sakura herself would go observe the "peers" she mentioned before, so there would be no danger at all. Therefore, even if Yosano Akiko was worried, she did not stop Fukuzawa Sakura from going out alone.

It’s just that - although Edogawa Ranpo himself was a "troublemaker" when he was in school, even he didn't expect that the life of elementary school students today has become so "rich".

So Edogawa Ranpo really didn't expect that—

After observing and reasoning about a series of behaviors that she did not understand but only thought were very powerful, and even burned her brain, Fukuzawa Sakura finally came to a conclusion -

The behavior of peers is chaotic, incomprehensible, and beyond common sense, which is simply called "going crazy".

But if you say that this development is outrageous and that it is impossible to link cause and effect together, it is not to that extent.

Therefore, Edogawa Ranpo summarized it as "unexpected, but reasonable", which is very consistent with this O. Henry-style ending.

"Can it still be saved..."

Yosano Akiko looked away with difficulty and looked at Edogawa Ranpo with hope.

Anyone who has experienced a seizure knows that it can bring the person experiencing it inexpressible joy, and once they start having a seizure, they can never return to being a normal person.

Edogawa Ranpo pushed the ball off his body, and after seeing the kitten jump onto the table and lie down, he turned to look at Yosano Akiko and shook his head.

“It can only alleviate the problem, not cure it.”

At this moment, the identities of doctor and family member were completely reversed for Yosano Akiko and Edogawa Ranpo.

"Dr. Ranpo, please, save Sakura. He is only eleven years old, still a child! He can't be ruined like this!"

"Alas, Yosano, I can understand that as a parent, you always want the best for your children, but now..."

"Doctor Ranpo, I'm willing to pay any price! As long as you save Sakura!"

"Oh, I'll try my best..."

Fukuzawa Yukichi looked at Yosano Akiko and Edogawa Ranpo, who were originally normal, and suddenly started to "go crazy" for some reason, acting like doctors and family members unscrupulously. Fukuzawa Sakura next to them was looking at them with curiosity.

"..."

"Enough," Fukuzawa Yukichi rubbed his brows and interrupted Fukuzawa Sakura who had just entered the state and was about to join Yosano Akiko and Edogawa Ranpo as a "patient."

Fukuzawa Yukichi squatted down and looked at Fukuzawa Sakura, trying to control his tone so as not to scare the child:

"Sakura, humans are creatures that rely on group life. This group life does not only refer to the contact between humans, but also includes the interaction between humans and plants, animals, and non-living things. An excellent human can improve himself in group life without causing trouble to the people around him and other living or non-living things. I think Sakura wants to be an excellent human, right?"

Fukuzawa Yukichi saw Fukuzawa Sakura nodded thoughtfully, so he continued to guide:

"Then, Sakura, do you think that you have caused trouble to other people or lives just now?"

Seeing Tuantuan on the table looking at her with a frightened expression, Fukuzawa Sakura walked over to Tuantuan, looked at Yosano Akiko and Edogawa Ranpo who were looking at her, lowered her head, and said in disappointment:

"I'm sorry for causing trouble to Tuantuan... and also to Akiko and Ranpo..."

Fukuzawa Sakura bowed in the direction of Tuantuan, Yosano Akiko, and Edogawa Ranpo, then turned around and bowed to Fukuzawa Yukichi to apologize:

"I'm sorry for causing trouble to you...President..."

Fukuzawa Yukichi touched Fukuzawa Sakura's head and said:

"You are a good child if you know your mistakes and correct them. Do you know what to do in the future, Sakura?"

Fukuzawa Sakura stood up, nodded affirmatively to Fukuzawa Yukichi, and said, "I know!"

"That's good."

Fukuzawa Yukichi withdrew his hand that was touching Fukuzawa Sakura's head with a feeling of regret, and then looked at the two people who had just been making trouble with a serious face.

"Sakura knows she's wrong, what about you?"

"Mr. Fukuzawa/President! I'm sorry!"

Yosano Akiko and Edogawa Ranpo spoke at the same time, bowing and apologizing to Fukuzawa Yukichi.

Fukuzawa Yukichi sighed, looked at Tuantuan on the table with some nostalgia, moved his hands behind his back, and finally turned around and went back to the president's office.

Yosano Akiko and Edogawa Ranpo watched Fukuzawa Yukichi leave, and turned around to see Tuan Tuan, who was afraid of Fukuzawa Sakura just now, was now having Fukuzawa Sakura touch her chin and snoring comfortably.

Yosano Akiko and Edogawa Ranpo looked at each other and smiled.

Then Edogawa Ranpo sat back in his seat and continued to eat the cake that Fukuzawa Sakura brought back specially to "honor" him, but in fact it was to ask him to keep it a secret and not tell Yosano Akiko that he used Xiao Hei to be lazy and find Tuantuan's cake.

Yosano Akiko looked at Fukuzawa Sakura who was playing with Tuantuan with a gentle expression.
