Yokohama Cuisine Event Book

Luanbu nestled in the rattan chair under the corridor, thinking about things in his mind.

The president was sitting here last night, talking on the phone with the Secret Service.In front of the corridor, there is a winding stone road. A rose tree spreads its branches and leaves beside the road. The smoky lavender flowers look more ethereal in the rain.

This is the flower that the three of them planted together after Gancha came to this house.Even Lord Ranbu dug the soil with a shovel for a long time, and was so tired that he didn't want to move a step for the next three days.

At that time, what the owner of the flower market recommended to them was actually a soft wisteria, but the president finally chose this kind of rose called campanula, not only because it is a flower that is similar to the hair color of a girl, but also because it can grow from spring to autumn. Long flowering period into autumn.

That was the unspoken blessing of the man who was not good at words.

It was drizzling.The raindrops on the petals slid down like tears.

Ranbu could still clearly remember the first time he saw her six years ago.

At that time, he followed the president and broke into the mansion in the forest together.People with ulterior motives wandered downstairs, while the little girl hid helplessly behind the shower curtain in the bathroom on the second floor, holding a fragment of the mirror, her eyes were red, and her whole body was trembling.

The first time I saw her, I knew that she, like him, was a child who was prematurely taken away from her parents' love by this unreasonable world.

And after that, it was the president who propped up a shelter for them in this puzzling world.

Therefore, he can understand her thoughts, understand her almost stubborn greed.

So he thought, let her go and let her do it.At least it can deal a heavy blow to the guy who thinks he is in control of the overall situation, and make him lose his bargaining chip.

——Although there is still a small loophole in her plan.

In her opinion, in order to implement the ability opening license as soon as possible, Ogai Mori will have to send Chuya Nakahara to play without Oda Sakunosuke.

It should have been that way.But now Mimic has locked Oda as the target, and there will be no more purposeless and meaningless destruction.The license issue has also been tacitly announced, so for Mori Ogai, they are no longer urgent.

And that bald chief is someone who can ignore personal life for the sake of the so-called overall situation.It is to use numbers to measure human life and gains and losses, and to sit back and watch personal sacrifices; when faced with a train problem, five people who would run to play on the railway in order to ignore the rules did not hesitate to run over the innocent worker resting on the abandoned railway that kind of person.

Before Mimic is resolved, it is doomed to be disappointed if you want to seek help from the Secret Service.

As long as Mori Ogai withholds effective combat power for a day, Oda Sakunosuke will not be able to get protection from official channels for a day.

Mori Ogai may be anxious because the matter has not yet been settled, but the most anxious person may be Tanada who was pressured by the peak because of Mimic's troubles, and Amcha who is worried about the safety of Oda Sakunosuke, but it will never be he.

However, it doesn't matter if there are omissions in the plan, Lord Ranpo will help her.

Luanbu quietly stared at the petals that shone softly and lustrously like satin, and the corners of his mouth curled up a little childishly.

A detective will protect all the stupid children in the world, first of all, of course, he must take care of this little flower in the garden.

He has even done such things as digging, does he care about other things?

He slowly stood up from the wicker chair.

However, at this moment, the paper door behind him was pulled open.

The silver-haired man stood there, frowning and asked, "Luanbu, do you know what Gancha is doing?"

Ranpo gave a big smile.

"That, of course the famous detective knows!"

"You've done a great job."

A light blue Japanese umbrella was propped above her head.A familiar, gentle voice came from my ear.

Gan Cha opened his eyes wide in surprise.

She turned her head suddenly, the president was beside her, and Ranpo and Akiko were standing not far away smiling.

Gray blue waves lapping on the beach.

A sour feeling slowly crept into my heart.The girl pursed her mouth, and wanted to throw herself into the arms of the silver-haired man.But feeling the wet fabric of the sleeves against the skin, he sniffed regretfully, and just reached out and grabbed the cuffs of the man's kimono.

Fukuzawa stroked her head with his free hand.

"Where is there..."

Feeling the warm heat above her head, the girl's voice gradually lowered: "That person, I'd better go find Mimic."

"That's the way it should be."

Ranbu approached her, looked at her twice, and gave a surprising answer.

Faced with her puzzled and sad expression, Luanbu snorted, and said: "If that guy just sits indifferently and watches others pay for him, then the detective agency—absolutely, absolutely will not accept him!"

Gan Cha was stunned.

"Did I say so?"

Ranpo was very satisfied with her reaction: "The lord detective will give him a chance to enter the society for a test—"

"That?"

The expression on the girl's face slowly brightened.

"He passed!" Luanbu announced loudly, his emerald green eyes shining with joy.

Oda Sakunosuke's strength is naturally beyond doubt, and they knew this nine years ago.It was the color of his soul that was to be tested, and that was now proven.

——For his ideals, he can completely overthrow his past life, but in order to protect others, he can also resolutely give up his ideals, at the expense of himself.

Detective agency entry test - he passed!

And the detective agency will naturally protect every member.

Yosano Akiko smiled and said: "Mr. Ranpo has already made arrangements—Tian Shan saw Mimic's soldiers go to the western restaurant on the surveillance. Kunikida and him have found those people who stayed there. Yes, the address of the base."

"Now, the most important task of the detective agency is to bring the newcomers back safely."

Fukuzawa said, "And the Mafia's order to kill him after that - it will be resolved soon."

Before leaving, he had conveyed to Mori Ogai his willingness to meet.

Gancha took a deep breath.

"...Really."

There was an expression on the girl's face that seemed to be relieved, but also seemed to be distressed.In the end, she muttered in a low voice: "It's still like this..."

The sound of rain gradually died down.A few beams of sunlight broke through the clouds, and undulating lights flickered on the distant sea.

The girl's pale cheeks at first gradually turned red.

Fukuzawa looked down at her from a close distance.

Ranpo has told him everything.That almost foolish courage and heart—it's not that she doesn't trust others.She just wants to protect everyone by herself, including Fukuzawa.

Fuze thought, why did he meet some stupid children.Whether it was Ranpo at the time, Yosano who almost gave up on himself, and the girl in front of him——

In short, there may be something wrong with his education.Therefore, appropriate punishment should be imposed on her, so that she can understand the horror of adults.

"Gancha."

Fuze asked her: "Is there anything you should tell me?"

"……Um?"

The girl froze when she recalled something.

"You promised - 'not to expose yourself to danger'. "

Fuze said slowly: "Meet the kidnapping experts in the black market alone?"

"Yes, it is in a safe place! A public place!"

The girl is like a kitten whose nape has been pinched, and the fur all over her body is blown up: "I am also very careful when handing over!"

From under her eyelashes, she secretly raised her eyes to look at Fuze's expressionless face.

"Ha, that's not the point!"

Luanbu jumped out gloatingly, and said loudly: "President, I know what she has done!"

Xie Ye laughed beside him: "Mr. Ranpo, you are a bit mean."

Luanbu is a little proud.He opened his eyes slightly, and glanced at the girl's clothes—it was so obvious that he didn't need glasses at all, and didn't even need a second of thinking.

"When the house exploded, she knew that there were Mafia people watching, but she still ran out! Ask these bodyguards!"

The black-clothed bodyguard of the Nakiri family was locked by Fukuzawa's unintentional but still stern eyes, sweating on his forehead, and took a step back. He had to ignore Gancha's pleading expression, nodded quickly, and looked away.

"On the street where the detective agency is located, there is a painting classroom open to children."

After getting the answer, Fukuzawa turned to look at the girl with a worried expression.

"You go instead of a plaster cast of still life painting for a week. Two hours a day."

Gancha is like being struck by lightning.

She, who can't stay in school and hates boring things the most, actually wants to sit there motionless and let the super-difficult kids draw for her for two hours?

And, and I don't know yet, what will they draw her like!She will die laughing at Luanbu!

This is torture!

She looked at Fuze with sad eyes.

Fukuzawa sighed helplessly.

"——When it's over, I'll pick you up." So be quiet and accept the punishment well.

The girl who got this kind of promise was full of sorrow and joy in her heart.

——Bringing a stick to a sweet date or something, the president is too much!

The people of the detective agency stopped the red-haired man who went to the appointment alone at the foot of the mountain full of oak trees.

Fully armed and ready, Oda Sakunosuke looked at the group in front of him in surprise.

The girl he is more familiar with, the sad expression when she watched him leave has completely disappeared, and now she is standing with the green-eyed young man and the black-haired woman with her hands behind her back, looking at him with a lovely expression smile.

Wearing glasses, a slightly serious blond man was holding a notepad, and beside him was a thin, decadent man in a quilt, but when he looked in their direction, the two also looked at him Return the warm smile like a companion.

As for the place guarded by the group, the silver-haired warrior was still as reliable as he remembered.

"Oda Sakunosuke."

Fukuzawa said in a calm voice, "You accepted Gancha's invitation and passed the entrance test. Now you are a member of the Armed Detective Agency."

"As a member, the organization should provide you with protection and assistance. Regarding Mimic, the detective society negotiated with the Mafia."

"No need to go any further."

Oda Sakunosuke obeyed the orders of the newly joined leader of the organization.

After taking the person away, Fuze left soon.His meeting time with Mori Ogai is coming up.

Oda Sakunosuke, who didn't know where he was, looked at Fukuzawa's leaving back with some worry.

"no problem."

Luanbu raised his hand to pat him on the shoulder, but because of his height, he could only pat him on the back, so he pouted unhappily—but explained: "The leader of the port mafia has lost A bargaining chip for negotiating with a detective agency."

He glanced at Gancha who was meeting and talking with Xie Ye intimately: "The children have been taken away by Gancha. He can't threaten you, and at this time, you are already a member of the detective agency."

"If you still have to force your hand - the ability to open a license, the detective agency does not mind one more."

Ranbu showed a sly smile.

And that's exactly what happened.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the glass windows, dragging streaks of brilliant colored light on the dusty ground of the mansion.

Stepping on a certain light, Mori let out a long sigh towards Fukuzawa.

"Can't bear to let Oda take action, but can you watch Nakaya-kun do this kind of murder? It's too heartless, Your Highness Fukuzawa. The young people in my family appreciate you very much."

He looked very regretful.

Fukuzawa was unmoved.

"That boy is different from what Oda Sakunosuke cares about."

He said coldly: "Don't pretend to be sighing for him, Dr. Sen. I'm sorry for his loyalty——Since you said something like this, I'm afraid you won't let him have it in a few years." Here's a chance to meet the detective agency."

"Haha. Sure enough, the person who knows you best will always be your opponent."

Sen said with a little pleasure, but also some displeasure at being told his mind.

"So, what are you going to use in exchange? In exchange for Chuya's move, and the mafia's indulgence of Oda's betrayal?"

"what do you want?"

Fukuzawa asked with the intention of just listening.

"Give it to me and Yosano—you must have thought I would say that, right? No, what I want is different now."

Sen showed an inexplicable smile.He looked directly at Fuze, almost provocatively, and said, "I want that girl—your adopted daughter."

A terrifying murderous aura erupted from Fukuzawa's body.

"Oh, it's scary—don't be so impatient, Your Highness Fukuzawa."

Mori Ogai smiled meaningfully: "Your little girl is very active this time. It's not okay to be self-willed. Since you don't want to be disciplined, why don't you leave it to me."

"The detective agency has Ranpo Edogawa, but it's not a big deal if she lacks an immature think tank?"

"Give her to me, and you'll get a strong combatant without any worries—just what you're missing."

There was something in his purple eyes that Fukuzawa couldn't understand and didn't want to understand: "After all, the president is not as good as before, suitable for doing some physical work running around, isn't it?"

"And my Alice also likes her very much—how about it, Your Highness Fukuzawa?"

A flash of silver light.

Fukuzawa responded with an unsheathed long knife.

No one knew what else they said afterwards.But when Fuze returned home, he was rarely injured.And Zhong also accepted the order from the leader to go out to battle under Dazai's gaze that gradually became darker from the astonishment in front of the bed in the medical department.

After this battle, the Port Mafia obtained a license to operate with special abilities and officially became a legal organization.

Yokohama's underground world has found more tranquility than ever.No organization or individual dared to offend the majesty of the Lord of the Night anymore.

And that night, Oda Sakunosuke accompanied Gancha to the bungalow that served as a battlefield.

Most of the old Western-style buildings were in ruins, and bricks, rubble, and broken limbs were scattered among the ruins.They walked into the ballroom with bloody scarlet velvet curtains, beside the collapsed oak door, a man in silver-gray military uniform lay there, silent.

After he was controlled by gravity, he was hit in the chest by the bullet returned by Chuya.

He had not had time to commit the worst crimes in the future, and now he died as a soldier on the battlefield, and perhaps he could be regarded as getting his wish.

They invited someone to collect the corpse, and before leaving, Gancha left a bunch of irises and took away a handful of gray ghosts beside Gide.

In the next week, the detective agency suddenly saw a surge in commissions related to smuggling ships that entered the country secretly.Saying "This is your business!", Luanbu threw all of them to Gancha, and named Oda Sakunosuke to follow and protect.

Gancha also vaguely sensed that these were all related to the port mafia.She doesn't have any complaints, but she has to be a plaster statue of a noisy kid for two hours every day, and she has to run around Yokohama in the remaining free time. She is so busy that she even wants to borrow cat's claws up.

But the red-haired man next to him seems to have a strange magic power, even standing on the side of the road waiting for her can attract old men and women to chat with him.The fifth time he dragged people away from the nagging grandmother, Gancha was furious, and felt as if he had become Kunikida Doppo before he died.

"We're already 15 minutes late!"

Facing her anger, the red-haired man replied very steadily: "Ah, then there is nothing I can do."

Gancha: "..."

Oda Sakunosuke adapted well in the detective agency, and soon became familiar with everyone.

The children also took it back.Although the Nakiri family is a bit dull and serious, it is said that there is a white sister who gets along with them and takes them to play every day like a king of children, so the mood is not too bad.

Of course, they are also very worried about the adopters, but the way this group of little robbers who will be able to rob the bank in five years' time expresses is that when they see Oda Sakunosuke for the first time, they unite to attack him.

Of course it still won't work.

The oldest boy, Yusuke, seems to have given up his dream of becoming a mafia because of this, but because of what he saw and heard at Nakiri's house, he became very interested in cooking.After Gancha tested his talent, he announced that when he reached the age of junior high school, he would find a way to send him to Yuanyue Academy for systematic study.

Although she herself is not interested in the troubles of Yuan Yue and the Nakiri family, if she aims to be a professional cook, Yuan Yue is indeed a good place to go.

Oda Sakunosuke felt very relieved.

And as for the murderous intent that had re-emerged in his heart, the red-haired man thought it would take time to dilute it—that's okay, anyway, his original plan was to wait for the children to become independent before thinking about writing novels.

But the teenage girl came up with a solution.

"Actually, I think, if you have to say it, killing for protection is different from other things. But you probably can't agree, because it's all deprivation of life. So I have another proposal." She said.

Oda Sakunosuke cast a puzzled look at her.

Gan Cha put on a gesture of solemnly inviting someone to appear on stage, and even added Dang Dang sound effects himself.

The door opened.A black-haired female doctor appeared on the stage carrying a chainsaw, showing a moving smile to Oda Sakunosuke.

"Death can erase everything, that is to say, it is the beginning of all new things."

Gancha explained: "The new life is pure white, and everything can be repeated. If you really mind that, how about asking Jingzi to help you?"

Oda Sakunosuke: ...That's not necessary.

In short, the children and the shopkeeper are alive, and he is also alive.No matter when you start writing, the dream of writing a novel can still continue, and there is still hope for everything.What a happy, fairy-tale ending.

- Strange.

The protagonist of a fairy tale is not in huge debts.

Yes, Oda Sakunosuke owed the girl a very, very large sum of money.That was the money for her to buy information and hire three waves of the best kidnapping experts.

But Gancha is still very rich, so she doesn't really care.But she's happy to take the occasional bully out of no-no guys who add to her hours.

"What you owe me will be repaid for the rest of your life!" The girl said triumphantly.

Oda Sakunosuke was a little confused.So he asked, "Is the salary of the detective agency very low?"

Gancha: "……………………"

"Ah!! You man!!!"

The girl screamed angrily.

Oda Sakunosuke let out a cry.

He said, "As for the salary, just leave me the money for the curry."

It is impossible to go back to that western restaurant.The uncle owner is planning to find a place to reopen the store, and it is still in the preparation stage.

So he lost his curry three times a week, and now he has to find a new restaurant, which is very distressing.

"—Why don't you act resigned! Let the president see me and think I'm bullying newcomers!!"

Gan Cha crossed his arms and stood there deliberately, looking down at the red-haired man sitting on the sofa with a menacing look.

Kunikida: Isn't it?

"Ah—forget it! Curry, isn't it?"

But because of the other party's calm expression, Gan Cha quickly failed.But she is not without a way to deal with him.

"You'll be offered unlimited, and you're such a nice guy to kill. But—"

In exchange for that you have to listen to me!Don't chat with old men and old ladies on the road!Give me a quick turn down!

She hadn't had time to speak the second half of the sentence.

"You can also take the curry money."

Oda Sakunosuke nodded.Although his expression remained the same, his tone was very sincere.

"...Why do I want your salary!!"

So angry.

...But, it is the person I want to save, what else can I do besides accepting my fate?

Watching the whole process of chaotic steps: Well, I already knew it would be like this, but it's still—poof.

He tried his best to prop up his body that was limp from laughing, and raised his fingers to make a suggestion.

"It would be too troublesome to pay back the money." He said, "Why don't you teach her something useful, Oda?"

"You mean—?"

Ranbu smiled and narrowed his eyes, making a gesture of shooting.

"boom--!"
