I'm on the scramble

For the sake of being happy today, Ah Li did not pursue the offenses of these few listening corners.Grabbing Dun Dun purely out of venting was a mess, and she had a good time from the beginning to the end before releasing the brain ax in her hand that had lost its luster due to loss of virginity.

There was a sense of harmony in the detective's room, which had resumed after the farce.It just so happened that when he was listening to the corner, Tanizaki seemed ready to serve his newly prepared dishes, so he boldly invited Ali to taste his cooking.

"Miss Li, do you want to come and have a taste?"

Speaking of which, it seems that Tanizaki prepared almost all the dishes for tonight.Although he is usually so timid and weak, it is probably because he has a pampered younger sister by his side, and his cooking skills are very good, and he is very personable.wife's potential.

"Wow, Tanizaki, the fried tempura you made is quite delicious!"

Ah Li tried to eat it, and the texture of the crispy coat after chewing in her mouth made her eyes widen and then narrowed again, full of pure happiness.

"Miss Li, please use the pizza too."

Tanizaki, who was carrying a pile of dishes, came to the table next to her, and he didn't know whether it was intentional or not, he deliberately piled up a red pizza with rich condiments, which seemed to be covered with tomato-like ingredients, on A in front of gravel.

Ah Li picked up a piece of pizza he brought without doubting him.The crust of the freshly baked pizza is still hot, and it has the smell of the meat and flour being roasted just right, and it smells fragrant.

"Ah——" Ah Li opened his mouth and made a gesture of wanting to eat it. At this moment, from the corner of his eyes, he found Tanizaki beside him staring at her intently.

To be more precise, he locked the distance between the pizza and her mouth tightly.Due to nervousness, Tanizaki's Adam's apple seemed to roll quietly, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

(It's just a little bit close, and all the suffering at her hands in the past will be repaid in the past!)

Ah Li's hand holding the pizza stopped, she couldn't ignore the other's eyes, she turned her head quietly, her eyes fell on Tanizaki's coolly.

"What, what's the matter, Miss Li?"

A guilty look flashed across Tanizaki's face for a moment.

"Well... You have worked so hard to cook so many dishes tonight, why don't you give Tanizaki a taste first? Come, I will feed you with my own hands, this is a rare reward—"

Ari wanted to stuff that piece of pizza into Tanizaki's mouth as he said that, and Tanizaki struggled desperately as if he was about to face something terrifying.

"No, no, I still don't want it——Wow, miss Li, wait!"

However, the orange-haired young man had no ability to resist at all when facing the tea-serving chestnut-haired girl. The girl's snow-white and soft arm strangled his neck forcibly from behind to forward, and sent the pizza into his mouth in one breath.

"Stop talking nonsense, give me food quickly!"

Ah Li yelled cruelly, and covered the opponent's mouth to prevent him from spitting it out.Tanizaki felt as if he had eaten a bomb, his face flushed red from the hot pepper, and finally he passed out.

"Brother!" Naomi Tanizaki, who was watching the whole process of her brother's death, rushed towards him, catching the limp body and letting her do whatever she wanted.

"Brother, cheer up! If, if you continue to lie here, Naomi will want to do something to you, hehehehe..."

However, Naomi Naomi, the brother-in-law in their detective agency, has already started to do it.

Dun and the others who were eavesdropping next to them were terrified when they saw this scene.After a while, they all left silently with their tails between their legs.

"Let's just pretend we didn't see anything..."

Otherwise, it may be life-threatening like Tanizaki who was killed.

Ah Li, who had completed the counterattack, clapped his hands, and then snorted in satisfaction.

"I want to use this opportunity to persecute me by adding ingredients to the food, this is all left over from my play!"

Returning to the table refreshed, a famous detective was unhappily eating meatballs and asked inadvertently, "Did you finish what you said to Mr. Tian Shan?"

Ah Li went to the table in front of him, and picked up the plate of food closest to him to taste it.

"If you're so curious, why didn't you come to the door just now?"

Luanbu snorted, and the sweet balls made of glutinous rice that he had just eaten were squeezed into his cheeks, and half of his face bulged like a hamster's cheek.

He said vaguely: "What's so good, even if Master Ranbu doesn't read it, he still knows what you guys are going to talk about. So it's definitely not because I really care about it, so I can't bear to ask you—"

At this moment, the end of the spoon was shifted to point at Ah Li, and he repeated as if he had put aside the relationship: "It's definitely not the reason why I care about it!"

It would be suspicious to repeat too much, Ah Li couldn't help muttering: "You don't care about it..."

But while she was talking, she couldn't hold back the curvature of her mouth, so she hurriedly stuffed a piece of fried tempura she picked up into her mouth and chewed.The timely and chaotic body was attached to her shoulder again, and he opened his mouth to indicate that he wanted to feed.

"Master Ranbu wants to eat something salty now!"

"Okay, here you-"

According to the way he used to raise his bamboo horses, Ah Li picked up a certain shrimp tail on the plate again in a good mood, and handed it to the side.The black-haired young man swiped away her feed as soon as he tilted his head, and inadvertently wrapped her fingertips with his slippery tongue, and licked her fingertips.

This is a completely dependent and unguarded action.

Feeling the moist touch from his fingers, Ah Li froze immediately, glared at a certain detective, clenched his hands into fists, and hid them behind his back.

(This, why is this guy still so unconscious...)

While she couldn't help thinking about it, a certain Mr. Detective, who didn't notice her thoughts at all, had started a new adventure. Instead of using a good spoon, he had to use the bamboo wheel as a straw to drink the soup in the bowl up.

Chikuwa is a cylindrical food made of fish paste mixed with flour and protein. Because the inside is hollow, it is also used as a soup tool in the eyes of famous detectives.

In order to correct his bad habit, Ali immediately grabbed his arm and said, "Wow, you are not allowed to use food as a toy!"

Luanbu immediately refused to accept it and said, "What, didn't you still have so much fun with me last year? Now you're talking about me, traitor!"

Saying that, the childish detective blew another bubble into the bowl to provoke her.

"...you wait for me!"

Ah Li was very angry, but she had a better way, which was to move home.

"Dad hurry up and tell him!"

Seeing this, Luanbu shrank his shoulders like a cat strangled by the back of the neck, and panicked instantly: "It's too cunning to move the president out!"

Everyone knew that apart from Qingmei's words, what he was most afraid of was his own evaluation from the president.

However, Ah Li seems destined to be disappointed this time.At the same time, the head of the family who was the guardian of the two elementary school students still stood where he was, and did not approach, looking at the two with deep eyes filled with inexplicable complexity.

"...You don't have to care about me."

Fukuzawa Yukichi turned around bitterly, his lonely back showed a resistance of "he shouldn't be here, he should be under the car" for no reason.

Not understanding why his father assumed such an attitude, Ah Li's head was filled with question marks.

Seeking to no avail, Ah Li had no choice but to "grasp the food at every step" by himself. In front of Luanbu, he took the whole plate away and ate the bamboo wheels on it one by one.

Of course, the famous detective was unwilling to lose his favorite food just like that. He squinted his eyes as if he was accumulating energy, and suddenly leaned forward at a certain moment, put his arms around her shoulders, and leaned over to bite A Li away. The half bamboo wheel in the mouth.

The approach and retreat of his aura only happened in a split second, and it happened so suddenly that Ah Li couldn't react for a while.

But until there was a click, and the plate containing the bamboo wheel fell back to the table.

She lost.

The girl with tea chestnut hair froze, blushing, and then waved her small fists in the air like a cat with fried fur.

"Don't be too proud of a sneak attack!"

"This is not a sneak attack! Lord Ranpo, this is an honest thing!"

Fortunately, the interaction just now was not seen by too many people, otherwise the whole office would be overturned.It's just that the clerks who are not far from them suffer.

A well-known childhood sweetheart in the detective agency started a new round of slapstick here, no matter how you looked at it, it seemed like a show of affection.So in the already lively atmosphere, I was tasting dog food... no, the colleague who had delicious food was holding a plate, and suddenly felt a little greasy on the tip of his tongue.

"I'm full...how about you?"

"Me too."

The two clerks looked at the plate full of meat without saying a word.

... There is really no need to add extra meals to them.

After arguing with his family for a long time, Ah Li finally decided to unilaterally break off relations with him for 5 minutes.Touching her cheeks that were so hot that she could hardly hide them, she left the place as if fleeing and turned to the outside.

If she stayed by Luanbu's side any longer, the gradually thinning air around her might make her faint on the spot.

In order to preserve his combat power, Ah Li decided to retreat strategically first!

At this moment, someone seemed to have carefully pushed the doorknob at the entrance of the office, acting extremely cautiously.Finally, a cringing black-haired head came in from outside.

"That... Mr. Ranpo told me that I brought the manuscript of the new work that I wanted to see."

Right now the detective agency is in chaos, and everyone has no time to respond to the arrival of the guests.Seeing this, Poe could only apologize in a low voice, and then tiptoed to the office by himself, looking around.

So he fell into the hands of Ah Li who was running towards him by such a coincidence.

"It's you!"

When he was caught on the spot, Ah Li's eyes lit up.

Poe recalled the pain she felt when her fist landed on him earlier, and he was so frightened that he backed away countless times until his back hit the door panel. With no way out, he blocked the manuscript in his hand in front of him. .

"I am definitely not a suspicious person! I am here tonight to hand over the manuscript of the new work to Mr. Ranpo, please don't call..."

Poe was humbly begging for mercy, but when he couldn't help but opened his eyes to peek, he suddenly let out a thin cry in panic because of her next behavior: "Hey, wait, miss, please don't be so proactive..."

The cat-eared hairband girl with a bright temperament that made it difficult for him to ignore her existence, just opened her arms and ran towards him enthusiastically... the raccoon on her shoulder.

"Ka-er-!!"

Faced with what he thought was throwing himself into his arms, Poe made a defensive posture and just watched his friend and the girl have a century-like meeting.

With a light shoulder, the jumping little raccoon swished into the girl's arms, and was hugged by her several times.It looks like the other party is the object of its day and night.

"So you didn't come to welcome us... No, no, it was destined from the beginning that the lady would never be so kind to us from the enemy organization. What were we expecting? I just didn't expect that Karl would just throw her away like this. Let me down..." Poe's voice was full of indescribable sadness, and once again he was sentimental about his friend's characteristic of forgetting friends when he sees sex.

The black-haired young man who lost his confidence drooped his shoulders, looking around in this lively space alone.

Finally, he found the figure he was looking for, and the uncomfortable social fear in the crowd seemed to have found salvation, regained his energy, and quickly walked towards him with the manuscript in his hand.

"Mr. Ranpo!"

As the former enemy, Poe approached him as if he had found the backbone, and poured out all the hesitation and bitterness in his heart: "I have finally found you. Is it really okay to invite me to this kind of place? I am an enemy." People from Fang Organization..."

It's a pity that the volume of his speech is too low, submerged in this noisy environment, and cannot reach the ear of the other party.

"Ah, you're here, wait for me here for a while, and I'll come back to you right away." Luanbu was busy tasting the delicious mousse cake, seeing him coming, he patted him on the shoulder very kindly, Then he took the manuscript in his hand, and walked to the table on the other side, "Hmph, there are also bamboo wheels here, Ah Li didn't expect that—"

So Poe was randomly found a place to put the play by him.

"Eh……"

Poe, left alone, didn't know what to do.Finally, he found a dark corner and sat down in a daze. There was a bulging quilt next door, probably a special sight placed here by the Armed Detective Agency.

"Next, what should we do..." He muttered to himself.

Suddenly, the quilt next to him moved.

"Wow!" Poe was taken aback by this supernatural phenomenon, and the young man with glasses who was lodged in the quilt was holding a bottle of wine, crying on his back, with a pile of empty wine bottles at his feet. As soon as the quilt was lifted, a smell of alcohol wafted out.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

Poe, who was inexplicably accosted, trembled all over, and said in a very low voice: "...No, we are not..."

Huadai didn't hear it at all, and loudly overwhelmed his voice: "It's fine to be rejected by the girl you like, but now even you have to reject me!"

Poe was so flustered that his tears were about to fall, like a lovely and pitiful girl, she took the bottle and was forced to open: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that, then, just drink a little..."

It's a pity that his voice was drowned in the sea like this, and the flower bag pulled him to drink boldly.

On the other side, Ah Li, who had accepted Karl, rushed towards Dun without stopping.

"Look dun dun! This is the Carl I told you to introduce to you last time!"

The silver-haired boy Xunsheng turned his head, staring at the strange plush that appeared in the girl's hand, the whole tiger became vigilant.

"Miss Li, could it be that the raccoon in your arms is..."

Dun looked at the little animal that appeared in her arms with great vigilance, pulled up a ten-level line of defense in his heart, and looked at the little black and round eyes of the little raccoon in mid-air with an extremely conscious sense of resistance.

"Yeah, it's cute, right? It's said that it likes to wash and eat before eating! And it's super smart, its claws are not sharp and flexible, and its personality is very clingy!"

Ah Li was completely unconscious, picked up Carl and introduced him to him.Carl's shaggy fur combined with the dark spots around his eyes give him a rather chunky appearance, which is what Ash likes most.

Carl also nestled in A Li's arms cooperatively, rubbed his two little hands together, then wrapped his arms around A Li's neck, and looked back at the other feline opposite him flamboyantly.

Dun felt aggrieved, and stared at her for a moment without speaking.Ah Li hugged Carl and tilted his head and gave a puzzled 'hmm', and saw him suddenly running outside with his face covered in a daze.

"Dun Dun, what's going on?" Ali said strangely, without the slightest sense of hitting the mascot of the detective agency.

"It's 'jealousy.'"

At this time, a soft hand happened to grab her sleeve. Ali turned her head and found a red kimono sleeve. Looking up along the long sleeve, what caught her eyes was Kyoka's cold face. face.

"Because his position in Miss Li's mind has deviated, he couldn't accept this fact and escaped."

Jinghua gave a calm explanation in a serious manner.

"It's you, Little Mirror Flower."

Ah Li's attention was attracted by her, he pinched Carl's paw, and waved at the girl in kimono, "Are you having fun?"

Jinghua seems to be very interested in the little raccoon, her eyes keep sticking to its body.

"Well... everyone is a very gentle person." Jinghua replied steadily, and then finally raised her head to look at A Li.She hesitated for a while, as if she was determined to tell the truth, she mustered up the courage to speak.

"Miss Li, I did it."

Her gaze was straight and determined.

If she promised to stay here before, she did.At this moment, Jinghua inexplicably recalled the scene that happened on the tarmac before boarding the plane that was destined to hit the white whale.

Under the circumstances, someone had to stop that.

She clearly knew what she was about to face, but she still chose to do it.So far, she has never had a place where she wants to stay so much, and she has never been able to freely follow her inner thoughts to make choices.

But she doesn't regret it.

Standing behind her at that time was her former nurturer.

[Since you have decided to do it, don't look back. 】

In the end, those gentle female hands pushed her behind, as if pushing a young eagle off a cliff, with a sense of reluctance and indescribable sadness.

At that time, Jinghua looked back at her figure.Finally, I understood what kind of mood she had been embracing her all this time.

In this world, there are various ways to express love.But there is only one kind of emotion, no matter how it is expressed, that kind of emotion is interoperable, and that is love itself.

So she said to her [Thank you. 】

The red-haired woman showed such a gentle and sad smile that she had never seen before, and was finally relieved.

"From now on, I want to be with you. Only here is my place."

Jinghua said firmly to Ali.

Ah Li, who was hugging the little raccoon, spread out a hand and rubbed her head.

"You can stay here as long as you want."

Jinghua nodded vigorously.

As he said that, Ah Li seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly led her to the clipboard in the office, and summoned his junior brother over by the way.

"Kunikida! Help me develop the photos!" Ali took out his mobile phone, went into the photo album, and took out some photos he had taken in it to show him.

Kunikida, who took her mobile phone, knew what she wanted him to do, and he was quite speechless: "Here again, you actually treat me as a free photo editing tool!"

Ah Li pouted confidently and said: "Who made your ability so convenient, and it costs money to develop photos outside? We produce it ourselves, which is called thrift, saving unnecessary expenses."

Kunikida looked helpless to complain, wanted to say something but held back.He held the phone in his hand and looked at it carefully. At the same time, he took a pen and wrote down the words 'photograph' on the blank page of the notebook. Then, while comparing the screen, he tore the paper out of the notebook and chanted the name of the ability.

"The solo bard!"

White light flashed.

The humanoid photo machine Kunikida developed a bunch of photos in a hurry, as he did in the past, he used thumbtacks to paste the newly developed photos on the clipboard one by one, and stacked them with other photos in the past got together.

Gradually, most of the people around, whether they already knew about it or didn't know about the current situation, noticed the movement here and came over to take a look.

"Huh...is this the clipping wall that Ms. Li used to threaten me 'If you don't obey me, post my black history'?"

I couldn't help being curious, and Dun, who came over to take a look, said in surprise.

There are a lot of newly printed photos, including when Dun and Ah Li went on a mission for the first time, he was frightened by ghosts and ran away, or his face was pale, or he wanted to cry without tears.Then Jinghua came to the detective agency and took a group photo of the two when she was playing with her.

In addition, there are many memories from the past.It's like when the detective agency was first established, the young version of the president in a suit was sitting on the chair at the front, and Ari was sitting on the armrest of the chair, with random steps on her shoulders, Kunikida and Yosano were standing behind Photo with side.

"I really miss it. Those are all photos from more than ten years ago."

Someone couldn't help laughing.

There is also a post on the wall that looks like Tanizaki's original "black history". Yosano, who sat alone on a folding chair and read tough guy novels, one day actually brought a whole cow to Kenji in the detective agency, carrying them behind his back. The president who tried to talk to the cat and thought no one knew about it, the flower bag that desperately wrapped his quilt so that no one would tear it open, Kunikida who was often jumping in anger, Dazai who was hung on an electric fan and spun...

The daily life of everyone in the detective agency is recorded here.

And now the most conspicuous photo posted at the front is a group photo taken with mobile phones placed in a fixed position after the welcome party finally arrived. Perhaps the timing of the shooting was wrong. The expressions on people's faces were too rich at that time, which became commonly known as 'Yan Yi'.

"so good……"

Dun couldn't help saying this, and Jinghua's fingertips couldn't help touching the smiling face on the photo, which she raised sincerely.At this moment, inexplicably, people feel very touched in the heart.

"This is a customary little habit left by Ms. Li many years ago." Wearing a sand-colored windbreaker, the young man who is always elusive came to them at this time, quietly staring at the photo wall.

In the beginning, in order to avoid the camera, only half of his clothes are usually left in the photos.But soon, he found that he could not resist the girl's strength at all, as if he was forcibly dragged to the scene tonight, he had to be dragged by her to take a photo together.

They couldn't resist the torrent, and they all ended up becoming part of the family.

"Actually, Ms. Li values ​​the detective agency more than anyone else. The Armed Detective Agency is an organization established to make better use of Mr. Ranpo's ability. In order to maintain this only shelter, she has been doing more than anyone else since the beginning. She is more active, and she is more happy than anyone else to have new members join. Because this also means that Mr. Ranpo can live more freely."

The reason why they are standing here today can be said to be due to various reasons, but one of them is absolutely inseparable: that is the relationship connected by the girl.

"Although Mr. Ranpo is the core of the detective agency, she is the rope that unites all the members and keeps everyone tightly in the middle."

Dazai turned his head slightly, and the others followed him and shifted their gazes.

The party was still full of joy, and wanton laughter filled the brightly lit environment, making it easy for people to worry about whether the neighbors would come to complain the next day.

"Kunikida! Bring me some wine—"

"I told you, you can't drink any more! I just saved a fortune for the detective agency!"

It was the voice of a female doctor who was playing with her companions who were passing by.

"Sizzling, it's so spicy..."

"My lord, come, drink the water that Naomi kisses and feeds!"

"No, simple hand feeding will do! Please don't!"

The voice of the struggling young man who was so hot that he was about to lose consciousness and was poured water by his sister.

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

The two autistic mushrooms are still crying and pouring wine.

All of these are born from the same human starting point.

And the heroine in everyone's hearts squatted to the side at this moment, hugging the naive little raccoon and egging it on.

"Carl, help me bring this thing to Ranbu." She whispered into Carl's fluffy ear furtively, and stuffed a handful of candies into its hand.

As expected, the raccoon is an animal with a very high IQ. After receiving the instruction, she held her gift in both hands and walked in a certain direction with two legs. In front of the detective, put the candy in his hand on his desk.

"Huh?" Luanbu, who was eating sweets and reading Po's new book, glanced at it distractedly, as if he knew the reason why it came.

Ah Li nervously waited for the result, he didn't even look out of the corner of his eyes to observe what kind of movement happened on his side.

She previously decided to unilaterally ignore Luanbu, but after such a long time, she felt that it was time to reconcile.

The mood of being in love is sometimes very strange. You obviously want to stay with the person you like, but doing so often brings tension and chest tightness.Even so, if you want to part with him, you will feel doubly missed.

Even though he summoned up the courage to see his face clearly, he dared not pay attention to his expression.

Because of this, she didn't realize that Luanbu glanced at herself, and then in a good mood, she also went to the pile of snacks hidden in her drawer, scooped up a few candies with different flavors from it, and stuffed them into Carl. in both palms.

"This is a return gift."

The little raccoon is very sympathetic, and here he assumes the role of a messenger, and returns to Ah Li with a gift from Luanbu.

Ah Li looked down and found that it had brought back a new candy in its hand, and couldn't help but hugged this cute "masked thief" together with the candy as if he had received a kind of unexpected surprise .

"Hey, did you cleverly steal Luanbu's candy and bring it back to me? Karl, you are awesome!"

Unaware that it was Luanpo returning the gift, Ali hugged it happily, taking all of these as the 'habits' of raccoons.Randomly opened the candy wrapper of one of the candies, threw the crystal candy into her mouth, and tasted the taste of the candy blooming in her taste buds, she shrank her petite shoulders in satisfaction.

"It's still my favorite flavor!"

The famous detective who was watching this scene on the opposite side seemed to hum softly, with a soft nasal voice, and the slightly raised tail tone seemed to be a smile.I saw him cover his head with the manuscript of his new work, and then he turned the back of the office chair to the opposite direction.The two thin lips that were not completely covered by the manuscript paper opened and closed, making a mouth shape silently.

'--Fool'
