Where's my childhood sweetheart?

Fukuzawa Yukichi couldn't say anything to refute. If Ranpo suddenly told him that he really wanted to commit suicide and started to act, he would probably be scared out of his wits.

Sighing again in his heart, Fukuzawa Yukichi had no choice but to temporarily give up the idea of ​​letting Ayou tell his memories.

People don't want to say, can you still force a little girl?

"You're right, because it's a close person, so I hope he can live in this world well, it's human nature."

"but--"

Fukuzawa Yukichi's voice was low.

"Man is strong because of the emotions in his heart."

"Whether it is greed, arrogance, desire, or love, sincerity, and protection. It is precisely because of these emotions that support people to become stronger."

"It is the instinct of most people to want to protect others to be happier."

Just like when he met Ranpo in that theater, it changed the rest of his life from then on. He got rid of the muddle-headed state and had a way forward. Created for a better future.

Ayou lowered her eyes, her eyes wandered on the floor of this very normal office, her voice was extremely soft.

"And in the popular perception, death goes against that."

"So what I want to say is—"

Fukuzawa Yukichi took a deep breath.

"We are not ordinary people."

He looked at Ayou sincerely.

"So if that's your dream, we'll respect you."

However, Ayou was not moved at all, looking at Fukuzawa Yukichi who was fooling her seriously, she silently despised her.

Ah!Fudge, you continue to flick!

Who was it that dragged Yosano Akiko back to save her again and again? ? ?

she!Qi Muyou!It will never be revealed!

And outside the office at this time, as Edogawa Ranpo pulled Ayu into the door, whispers erupted in the detective agency, and Junichiro Tanizaki approached Kunikida Dopo who had just returned in a low voice.

"What's going on, Kunikida-san?"

Taking another careful look at the closed door of the president's office, Junichiro Tanizaki lowered his voice.

"I've never seen Mr. Ranpo look like this!"

"yes……"

Little did he know that Kunikida Doppo also fell into a life of doubt.

In the short train time, he experienced successively, "Mr. Ranpo actually asked to change seats!" ''Mr. Ranpo even volunteered to contribute snacks! ''Mr. Ranpo has been beaten, but he still wants to continue begging for abuse! ''Mr. Ranpo actually acted like a baby to someone other than the president! 'And a series of things that destroy his three views.

Seeing Kunikida Doppo's dazed look, Tanizaki Junichiro suddenly became more curious.

"What the hell happened?"

"I do not know either……"

He really doesn't know at all!Mr. Ranpo only told him about the president and his very important people, but why didn't he tell him about the important thing!

Just as Kunikida Doppo and Tanizaki Junichiro looked at each other, the door of the detective agency was suddenly opened, and a voice full of "youthful and lively" sounded.

"Good morning everyone~"

Although the other party was a newcomer who had just joined the job, Kunikida Doppo's stomach-ache voice that was familiar to him made him turn his head in an instant, only to see Dazai Osamu who was wearing a sand-colored windbreaker push the door open, very still. Waving hands cheerfully.

"Oh~ Kunikida, what's the matter with you acting like you are secretly speaking ill of others behind your back?"

Saying that, Osamu Dazai suddenly folded his arms around his chest and made an expression of disbelief.

"Kunikida, you're not talking bad about me, are you?"

Kunikida: "..."

Can't take it anymore!Who can bear this! ! !

"Too-um..."

As soon as he squeezed out a word between his teeth, Kunikida Doppo's mouth was covered by Tanizaki Junichiro beside him, and he looked at the president's office with a gesture, the meaning was self-evident.

The president is still here!Kunikida, you have to be sensible!

Kunikida Doppo:! ! !

Taking a deep breath, Kunikida suppressed the anger in his heart, adjusted his glasses, and glanced at Osamu Dazai.

"Hmph, I'll let you off this time."

"Kunikida, you are so generous!"

Not showing any restraint, Osamu Dazai clapped his hands while reading.

Kunikida Doppo: I will bear it! ! !

Tanizaki Junichiro on the side quickly changed the subject.

"Speaking of which, we were discussing the people brought back by Mr. Ranpo just now."

"The person who brought it back?"

Osamu Dazai stroked his chin, asking questions like a curious baby.

"Is there any special person who can make you discuss like this?"

"Super special!"

Tanizaki Junichiro nodded frantically.

"Kunikida just told me that Ranpo-san would give up his snacks to that girl!"

Saying so, Tanizaki Junichiro couldn't help raising his voice.

"That's Mr. Ranpo! It's Mr. Ranpo!"

On weekdays, only the president dares to "take food from a tiger's mouth". Although the president doesn't know how to do it, but for people like them who are familiar with Mr. Ranpo, Mr. Ranpo doesn't even give them a piece of potato chips!Let alone snacks!According to Kunikida, there is more than one pack!

"That's really amazing!"

Osamu Dazai was amazed, and he didn't know which one to say was more powerful.

"but……"

He turned around and asked another question.

"You just said... girl?"

Unable to resist 'gossip', Osamu Dazai guessed enthusiastically.

"Mr. Ranpo finally realized the beauty of love?"

Kunikida Doppo:! ! !

Tanizaki Junichiro:! ! !

"No...impossible!"

Unable to bear it, Kunikida Doppo retorted loudly.

"Absolutely impossible! Mr. Ranpo is not such a person!"

"Hey--"

Osamu Dazai drew out his voice, squinting at Kunikida Doppo.

"But you've been at the detective agency for so long, have you ever gotten snacks from Mr. Ranpo? I'm afraid you don't have a single candy?"

Seeing that Kunikida was speechless, Osamu Dazai continued his efforts.

"It's time to know Mr. Ranpo's age..."

The rest of the words left the guest with unlimited room for imagination, Kunikida Doppo suddenly turned into gray, he couldn't help but shuddered, and slapped his palm on the table.

"impossible!"

Thinking of Ayu's age, Kunikida spoke loudly.

"Mr. Ranpo can't be a lolicon!"

However, at this moment, the door of the president's office was opened.

Headed by the president Fukuzawa Yukichi, followed by Edogawa Ranpo and Ayu, the three of them showered Kunikida Dopo who was about to faint with strange eyes.For a moment, the air was strangely silent.

At this moment, once the voice broke the silence.

"Miss~"

Osamu Dazai spun around to Ayou's side with a Thomas maneuver. He half-knelt down, raised his hand to hold one of Ayou's hands, and stuffed a bug into his pocket with the other hand numbly.

"The young lady didn't tell me about the move, it really makes me sad!"

He covered his face exaggeratedly with one hand, and then stared at Ayou with shining eyes.

"Fortunately, we meet again like fate, this is fate~"

The last "Ah~" said a thousand times, Ayou silently looked at Osamu Dazai who was obsessed with acting, and after several failed attempts to withdraw his hand, he raised his head and gave a signal with his eyes.

This, yours?Take it back quickly and don't let it out to harm others!

Fukuzawa Yukichi: "..."

What a shame...

Edogawa looked around at Osamu Dazai, who was holding Ayou in his hands, and suddenly felt that it was an eyesore.

If you want to hold hands, it is he who holds hands!

Thinking of this, Edogawa Ranpo came to the other side of Fukuzawa Yukichi without hesitation, broke away Dazai Osamu's hand abruptly, and then replaced it with his own :)

"You know Dazai?"

"know."

Ayou nodded, her voice was calm.

"It was okay to commit suicide together, but he turned out to be cheating on me!"

Immediately, everyone in the room looked at Dazai Osamu with sharp eyes.

Osamu Dazai, you thick eyebrows and big eyes actually lured a little girl to commit suicide with you!This is the seedling of the motherland!Do you still have humanity!

Immediately, Kunikida took a step forward and dragged Osamu Dazai aside abruptly, without mercy, Osamu Dazai could only howl to defend himself.

"No! Miss, listen to my explanation!"

However, Ayou didn’t want to hear it at all_(:з」∠)_

"Don't listen, don't read, loved, have no money, save my mother first, you can shut up."

Osamu Dazai: QAQ

Ignoring the trembling Dazai Osamu who was threatened by Kunikida Doppo, Ayu raised his head and looked at Fukuzawa Yukichi.

"Then can I go?"

Fukuzawa Yukichi: "..."

He couldn't say the words of refusal. He had no reason to keep a little girl here, not to mention that she was 'kidnapped' here, and the parents didn't know it at all.

Finally, Fukuzawa Yukichi spoke in a deep voice.

"Want to have lunch before going back?"

Although he wanted to keep people watching, the more Fukuzawa Yukichi calmed himself down, the more serious his face became. Combined with his powerful aura that could stop children crying at night, it was...

Terrible!

"No..."

Ayou rejected the lunch invitation very simply, and she found a reason tactfully.

"I still have class in the afternoon."

"What...you don't need to go to school at all, you just want to get rid of us..."

Edogawa murmured in disorder, and Ayou could easily hear the voice.However, Ayou just gave a dry cough and turned away from looking at him.

Get away from Yokohama early and finish early!She doesn't want to stay in this right and wrong place for a second!

Seeing Ayou looking at the sky and the earth but ignoring him, Edogawa Ranpo suddenly felt aggrieved again.

"You really want to get rid of me!"

Edogawa squatted down randomly and looked at Ayou, his blue eyes were full of disappointment.He pouted, a hint of hope in his voice.

"Don't you think I'm cute at all?"

I'm so cute!All detective agencies are recognized!Mr. Fukuzawa also admitted it!It doesn't make sense that you don't think I'm cute!

Ayou: "..."

Fuck!What is the matter with this person?How could he ask such a question so blatantly?

What is 'Don't you think I'm cute at all? 'Is this something you, a 20-something adult, should say? ? ?

but……

Needless to say, this person really makes me feel...

"cough……"

I couldn't help but glanced at Edogawa Ranpo who had an aggrieved face again, Ayou's voice was full of wavering.

"Yes...it's quite cute..."

etc!Wake up!What am I talking about! ! !
