I'm domineering in Yokohama

Mrs. Miki just opened her mouth.

The boy squatting on the ground poking something with a branch raised his head and said something inexplicable: "I didn't cheat, I just hid some private money."

She smiled with satisfaction.

Greeting with a warm face: "Little Luanbu, what are you doing here?"

The boy ignored him.

He suddenly stood up and walked to the little cutie in two steps.

Staring at her with wide eyes, he frowned after staring at her for a full 3 minutes, and finally pouted with a bit of frustration on his expression.

The little cutie tilted her head to look at him: "Do you want to make friends with me?"

She likes to make friends lately.

See good-looking, interesting ones will take the initiative to ask.

"Do not……"

Edogawa Ranpo originally wanted to refuse, not because the other party was a brat, but because he simply didn't want to deal with people who couldn't understand what he said.

Thinking of something, he changed his words: "Yes."

This girl is so weird.

There are too many mysteries wrapped around him.

No matter how he looked at it, he could only see some superficial things. If he made friends with her, he could observe and resolve many mysteries in her body at close range. It would not be impossible to make friends with her first.

Cutie thought about it.

His eyes are beautiful, and it is not impossible to let him be your little partner, "My name is Universe Super Invincible——— Dazai Masako, cute."

Edogawa Ranpo's pupils shook.

moment.

Suddenly laughed out loud: "Hahaha, you are really interesting."

He stretched out his hand and said, "My name is Edogawa Ranpo."

The tone became a little serious and said: "The universe is super invincible——Little cutie, I have made you my friend."

Even if the mystery of her is solved, she is still an interesting person.

Unlike those grown-ups.

Making friends with interesting people will never be boring.

Edogawa Ranpo really wants to make friends with her now: "Your full name is too long and it will be troublesome to call you. Let's call you sister from now on."

It's not because she is so young.

There is a middle name of [Sister Immortal] in the full name of Ten Jin Jiang coins.

The little cutie was very happy: "Okay!"

So far, among the people who can pronounce her full name correctly and correctly after only hearing her say it once, except for Dazai who has gone to nowhere, this new friend is the only one.

Although Mr. Natsume memorized it very carefully, he still made mistakes in some places.

Guizhi only remembered two-tenths of the names.

Xiaocuti's favorability for her new friend soared very high in no time. The other party was a child much older than her. She sweetly called out, "Brother Luanbu."

"Sister." Edogawa Ranpo was also happy.

Other friends of the same age and adults in the country are too stupid...not very smart, talking and playing with them is very boring, new friends are very appetizing for him.

Mrs. Miki was a little happy.

At first, I was worried that the little cutie would think that Guizhi would go back because she had no friends to play with her, but now that I have good friends, I can rest assured.

Edogawa Ranpo suddenly interjected: "Of course, it's enough for my sister to have me as a little friend."

The attitude of speaking is taken for granted.

Mrs. Miki was taken aback.

Ranbu is a neighbor of her daughter's house, and she fully realized how clever Ranbu was when she lived here for a while.At that time, he was so smart that it was scary when he was young, but now he can see what she is covering up without even asking.

But there are impressions from childhood.

Shocked but not incomprehensible.

At most, I would sigh in my heart, like a father, like a son.Edogawa Ranpo's father was famously smart in the countryside, and he heard that he solved many cases.

She opened her mouth: "Little Luanbu..."

"I know, I can't say yes." Edogawa Ranpo interrupted her impatiently.

He won't tell the truth.

Said that the newly made friends will definitely go back.

He hasn't solved the mystery yet.

Mrs. Miki was relieved, she smiled and said, "I'll treat you to a pop soda later."

My daughter and son-in-law opened a small supermarket selling groceries in the countryside. When she helped look after the store, she still remembers that the child liked wave soda very much.

Edogawa Ranpo nodded as he accepted her bribe.

Cutie didn't understand what they said, but she was used to adults saying things she didn't understand occasionally.

Did not follow up to ask.

Mr. Natsume said that she is still young, and when she grows up, she will be able to understand what adults say.

Edogawa Ranpo stretched out his hand: "Let's play together."

"Okay, brother Luanbu." Xiaocuti jumped out of the suitcase and took the hand extended by the little friend.

Mrs. Miki saw that the two immediately became friends like this, and she didn't stop her: "Little Luanbu, remember to send the little cutie back when we have dinner."

Edogawa Ranpo was born here, and he is not afraid that he will take the cutie away.

His father is a policeman.

The character of his children is still trustworthy.Anyway, his family and his daughter's and son-in-law's family are neighbors, and if they walk home randomly, they will send the cutie back by the way.

"Understood." Edogawa waved his hands in annoyance.

Pulling the newly made buddy to run in another direction.

When he passed a certain field this morning, he suddenly discovered something strange. He was squatting on the ground just now to follow the clues.

Tracked half way through.

Then I met the cuties and the others.

Mrs. Miki saw Edogawa Ranbu running with the cutie, and shouted from behind: "Xiao Ranbu, my sister is still young, don't run too fast and don't fall down."

The roads in the country are not very good.

Edogawa Ranpo didn't bother to talk to her this time.

The cutie replied politely: "Mrs. Miki, see you later."

She still remembers the beef.

Mrs. Miki felt relieved when she saw that they were going in the direction of the country farm.

There are also local residents working in the fields.

The people in the village are simple, even if they are not their own children, they will definitely help to watch some.After all, Luanbu is a 12-year-old boy, and she is relieved to have him take the little cutie to play.

Let go of the big things on your mind.

Mrs. Miki walked towards her daughter and son-in-law's house in a relaxed mood.

Here.

Edogawa took the little cutie's hand in random steps and walked into a field.

"Here it is," he said.

Then point to the small suspected footprints on the ground.

"It's footprints."

He is sure.

Even if this track does not match any animal tracks in memory.

The little cutie glanced at it, and said casually, "It's the monster's."

When she played in Kyushu, she met many monsters with strange appearances, and their feet were also different.

"Youkai!?" Edogawa Ranpo's pupils widened.

Then he narrowed his eyes.

He didn't think that Xiaocuti was a four-year-old cub, so he felt that what she said was unbelievable. Instead, he followed the clues she provided and began to think seriously.

"If the criminal is a youkai..."

Think about it like this.

It took more than a second for him to look suddenly: "I see."

The look in his eyes was even more interested.

"Can you see monsters?" Edogawa Ranpo asked in a very sure tone.

"That's right." Cutie likes his little friend very much, "I met a lot of monster friends in Fukuoka, Kyushu. If Luanbu visits my house as a guest, I will introduce them to you."

Edogawa Luanbu nodded: "Okay."

Pointing to the footprints, he said, "But we're going to catch the criminal now!"

After speaking, he suddenly walked in a certain direction.

Little cutie also wants to know the monsters here.

More people are more fun.

Every time we get together to play is very happy.

stop-and-go.

Edogawa Ranpo would check the soil and grass on the ground from time to time. The cutie didn't know what he was doing, so just follow along as he was playing an adventure game.

Following the clues, they entered the nearby forest.

rustling.

There was a sudden noise in the grass.

It sounded like a frightened rabbit running away in a hurry.

"You are not allowed to run!"

In the eyes of Edogawa Ranpo, the little cutie suddenly yelled at a certain open space, and suddenly a blade of grass was bent in the open space not far away, which proved that there was indeed something standing there.

But in his eyes, there was nothing there.

"What does a monster look like?"

Edogawa Ranpo was very curious.

Once he believed that such things as monsters really existed, apart from a sense of novelty in his heart, he easily accepted their existence.

In the countryside, adults like to use monsters to scare children. Anyone who is disobedient will be captured and eaten by monsters.It was the first time he 'saw' a genuine monster.

"Can't you see it?" Cutie was a little puzzled.

The little brother was able to find the monster all the way, and she thought the other party could see it.

Edogawa pouted in confusion: "I can't see it."

If he hadn't brought the cutie here, he still thought that creatures like monsters only existed in fantasy, otherwise he would have been able to deduce who the prisoner was the moment he saw the footprints.

The little cutie scratched her head.

She can see it directly, and she doesn't know how to make her friends see the monster.

Edogawa Ranpo thought of something.

He suddenly squatted down and leaned over to look into the little cutie's eyes.Then his eyes widened, and he saw the so-called monster through the cute pupils.

It's a rather strange looking thing.

Only finger high.

doll.

It has a small body, three eyes, no ears, and holds a wheat ear in the field in its hand.The creases and heels at the root can be aligned with the site, or they can be bitten off with teeth.

Edogawa ranpo glanced at its feet.

It was consistent with the footprint he found in the field.

Now it is certain that he is the prisoner who stole the ears of wheat.

Through the eyes of the little cutie, I could only see the monster tremblingly looking at the little friend, with a panicked expression and mouth opening and closing as if apologizing.

"It's afraid of you." Edogawa Ranpo became curious.

That kind of fear is not the fear of facing a "giant" taller than oneself.

More like a power.

It's like some thieves' legs will go weak when they see their father with a straight face.

The little cutie proudly put her hands on her hips: "I'm amazing!"

Showing off: "I have many monster brothers."

She looked at the monster: "What's your name? If you listen to me, I will cover you from now on!"

When Edogawa Ranpo saw the little monster, he was stunned for a moment, and then his expression turned joyful and he said something.Afterwards, its expression relaxed a lot, and it even took an intimate look to share something with its friends.

The little cutie only promises empty words.

The monster changed his attitude.

He asked, "Is the name of the monster important?"

Cutie nodded: "Grandpa Tree said that the name of a monster is as important as life, and if you accept it, you will be loyal to that person."

Her understanding of the allegiance of her subordinates is still that she can command monsters to play together.

"It says that there will be a banquet here tomorrow, brother Luanbu, do you want to play together?"

Monsters like to get together and hold banquets.

There will be one game every three to five days.

Edogawa ranpo pouted: "I can't see it."

Although they can be seen through the eyes of the cuties, they can't actually participate in them after all.

Talking to the air feels a little silly again.

Cutie sincerely hoped that her friends could see it, and murmured: "If Luanbu can see it, then we can play together."

Her words just fell.

Edogawa Ranpo suddenly widened his eyes.

"I……"

"I can see it."
