Kneeling and begging to live past the age of 18

The candy in his mouth turned into small pieces, his voice became clear again, and Edogawa Ranpo finally remembered his purpose.

I didn't come to eat candy!

Although I haven't had friends yet, my mother said that friends are those who can help each other, so in other words, friends can help each other!

In other words, as long as you and the other party have become friends, you can ask questions openly!

Thinking of this, Edogawa Ranpo's expression instantly became serious, he looked down at Nozomi Miki, his voice was filled with a trace of uncertainty.

"Since we have exchanged gifts now, we are friends, right?"

But not necessarily, I have exchanged with other children before, but in the end it was not...

"Or do you need other conditions?"

Before Miki Nozomi could answer, Edogawa Ranpo squatted down in distress, scratched his tangled short black hair with his hands, and muttered softly.

"Does it have to be exchanged many times like other people? Or do you have to be together for a long time? It feels like a waste of time?"

Damn, I don't have much experience at all, I would have asked my mother when I knew it!

Just when Edogawa was scratching his head and scratching his head and couldn't think of a process, Nozomi Miki also reacted. She also squatted down and looked at the tangled face of the other party, and couldn't help laughing.

"Since we have exchanged gifts, of course Ranpo and I are friends."

So she really rarely sees a child who is so entangled in making friends.

"You can call me Ash."

"Is it already!"

Because of the entanglement, his eyes wandering on the ground shifted to the girl in front of him, Edogawa Ranpo cheered up, he couldn't wait to speak, and went straight to the point.

"Ashi...so Ashi, can I ask you a question?"

good friend!Time to help me!

"it is good."

Standing up, she couldn't help but raised her hand to touch the furry head of the other party, Miki Nozomi agreed with a good temper.

"What do you want to ask, Luanbu?"

"What I want to ask is—"

Ignoring the messy hands above his head, Edogawa hurriedly stood up, staring at Nozomi Miki with his blue eyes.

"How on earth did you become so strong!"

Miki Nozomi:? ? ?

I am strong?Where am I strong?

Miki Nozomi, who was a little dazed, had doubts in his eyes, and subconsciously repeated it.

"I... strong?"

"Yes, you are strong!"

Nodding his head firmly, Edogawa Ranpo's expression was extremely solemn, and there was no sign of joking at all.

"So tell me how you did it!"

"...Ranpo, can you tell me what you think I am strong in?"

After thinking about it, Miki Nozomi, who didn't feel anything extraordinary about him at all, decided to ask directly.

After all, you can't be tactful with children.

"I think I listen to normal."

An ordinary four-year-old, ordinary... Well, I guess this time I didn't get to play with an 18-year-old body, and even whether it was the parents or what, they were all ordinary.

"You didn't notice it?!"

Seeing that Miki Nozomi really didn't understand what he was talking about, Edogawa Ranpo looked at the other party suspiciously and explained.

"It's how you integrated into adults."

As he spoke, he lowered his voice and acted serious.

"I have observed that although you are only four years old, you can already easily integrate into other people's circles, whether it is adults or children, and you can even make the most standard reactions!"

The most standard response, you can even greet them, and you can get the real approval of those adults who are pretending every day!

What a great thing this is!I was already 11 years old and couldn't do this, but the other party did it easily at the age of four. What does this mean?

Ranpo Edogawa, who had no idea that he was the genius, silently defined it in his heart.

——Miki Nozomi, you are a genius!I have to ask her for advice and study!

"So can you tell me?"

Edogawa Luanpo hesitated for a while, and made a heartbroken sound like a strong man cutting his wrist.

"If you tell me, I will give you all the snacks for the next day... no, three days."

He tremblingly stretched out three fingers, heartbroken by the snacks he promised.

three days!Three full days!I made a great sacrifice!

However, what responded to him was Miki Nozomi's voice of rejection.

"No, I don't need your snacks."

Edogawa Ranpo:! ! !

Looking at Miki Nozomi in disbelief, Edogawa Ranpo only felt that the whole person was not well.

Can't three days satisfy you?

He took a deep breath, sinking his breath into his dantian, slowly and reluctantly, the corners of his eyes were almost moist, and he stretched out five fingers.

"Five days! No, no more!"

You will die without snacks! ! !

"puff--"

Edogawa Ranpo:? ? ?

Wait, what are you laughing at? ? ?

Looking at Miki Nozomi with a blank face, the other party covered his mouth in a concealed manner when he noticed his gaze, but with the curved eyebrows, he could still clearly see that the other party was still smiling.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, because I suddenly feel that Luanbu is cute."

Miki Nozomi waved her hand with a smile, explaining to herself.

"I meant before that if Luanbu didn't give me snacks, I would agree. I didn't expect Luanbu to have such great perseverance."

“It’s okay without snacks!!!”

Focusing entirely on the sentence "No need for snacks", after confirming Nozomi Miki's seriousness, Ranpo Edogawa instantly became elated.

"You're such a nice guy! You're my best friend from today!"

As long as you don't move my snacks, you are my best friend! (bushi)

"Speaking of which, why does Luanpo want to fit in, um, your lord's circle?"

Seeing the re-happy Ranbu amusedly, Miki Nozomi simply leaned against the tree, tilted his head and asked.

"Ranpo is only 11 years old, right? As long as you grow up, you will gradually blend in."

"Because I hate it."

After regaining his senses from the overwhelming joy, Edogawa Ranpo couldn't help sighing when he thought of those adults.

"I've never been to the city, so I don't know what it's like in the city, but here, every adult pretends not to know, which makes me very distressed."

"And sometimes when I say things that everyone knows, they will show disgusting expressions, and their eyes will be scary, obviously what I said are things that everyone knows."

As he spoke, Luanbu couldn't help puffing up his cheeks, feeling aggrieved.

"And it's like when you were playing hide-and-seek with other people when you were young. You can find out where other people are, but they insist on pretending that they don't know where you are. They just don't find the right place, and even Admit defeat!"

throw in the towel!He actually conceded defeat!Obviously everyone knows where each other is hiding, but they just don't look for it on purpose, it's so simple!

"I found out everyone at once and they were not happy, so I stopped playing with them!"

Well, in fact, they didn't want to play with him anymore, saying that playing with him was boring... But he really couldn't understand their game.

There is no reason at all!No logic at all!

"...So that's the case, I probably understand."

Touching his chin with one hand, Nozomi Miki roughly made an impression of Edogawa Ranpo in his heart. If it is really what the other party described, then he should belong to the rare "genius" type in the world.

Although this type of person is not common, she is certainly no stranger to being well-informed and has even met a lot. Although this type of person seems to be a genius, if they can't pretend or are not understood by their parents, they are often wise. Extremely bound to hurt.

So...he's this type?

His eyes looked up and down Edogawa Ranpo's body, but the other party did not feel uncomfortable, but was afraid that Nozomi Miki could not see clearly, and even wanted to turn around and turn around.

"Do you need me to take you to my house? Should be able to see more things?"

"No, not for now."

Nozomi Miki shook her head with a thought in her heart.

"In this way, let me observe for a few days first, and then make suggestions based on Ranbu's usual appearance, okay?"

"How many more days?"

Edogawa Ranpo pouted somewhat unclearly.

"But you can see it right away?"

Think of yourself as a four-year-old... um, four?

Suddenly realizing Miki Nozomi's chaotic step of age, she felt relieved again.

When I was four years old, I was not as good as I am now, so the other party's desire to observe seems to be... all right?

"Then you can come to me anytime!"

As soon as the words fell, Edogawa Ranpo frowned again, feeling a little inappropriate.

What if she doesn't come to find him?

"I can come to you too, or we will start tomorrow."

Be sure to let the other party see clearly!Then teach yourself how to become a social person who can talk and laugh with others!

With Miki Nozomi's assurance, Edogawa Ranpo walked briskly back home, and when he opened the door, he saw his mother sitting on the sofa waiting for him.

"How about it?"

As if she knew everything outside, Edogawa's mother stared at her son at the door and raised her eyebrows.

"I'll just say she's different."

"...Obviously I was the first to say that Axi is different!"

After a few steps, he ran to the sofa and took a big sip of water. Edogawa Ranbu breathed a sigh of relief, and briefly explained what happened.

"Anyway, we're already good friends."

"It's not bad, it's a random walk."

Yes, I really can't see the wrong person.

but……

"Speaking of which, do you even want to take advantage of the little girl?"

Looking at her son who hated iron and iron for five pieces of candy, Edogawa's mother felt extremely bald again.

Are you full of snacks on your mind?

A rare child who is different from ordinary people, and can handle his own son!It was a pleasant surprise, but I couldn't let my son be lost.

"I will prepare food for you tomorrow, remember to share it with others, you know?"

"snack?"

Edogawa Ranpo's eyes lit up instantly, and he looked at his mother expectantly.

"how many?"

Mother Edogawa: "..."

I really broke my heart for this son!

The smiling expression on her face had disappeared, and Edogawa's mother took a deep breath and smiled again, and opened the drawer to show Ranbu a drawer full of snacks.

"See these?"

Ranbu's gaze was occupied by the snacks, and he nodded frantically.

"this."

Picking up a small package and shaking it in front of Ranpo, Edogawa's mother's voice was cold and heartless.

"Except this one is yours, the others are for others."

Random steps:? ? ? ? ?
