Yokohama High School of Magic

People come and go on the streets of Yokohama, and occasionally there are surprised eyes cast here.

"Yokohama!" Kaginizaki wild rose with one hand on her hips, one hand covering her eyes from the sun, looked around energetically on the side of the street.

"This seems to be my second... third visit to Yokohama?" Panda raised his head and thought about it.

"Senior Panda, is it okay for you to be like this?" After all, if a panda appears on the street, no matter how you think about it, you have to call the police.

"Talking pandas are rare." The panda patted Knothi Yuhito, "A silent panda is a panda, and a talking panda is a doll cover."

Knotweed Yuhito: That's it!

"The Yokohama school said they would come to pick us up, but why haven't they come?" The school uniform was dark or long-sleeved, Zenyuan Maki pulled the collar, feeling a little uncomfortable from the heat.

"The agreed time with the Yokohama school is 09:30, and there is still half an hour left."

"Then why are we here so early?"

"Because Satoru told us that the appointed time is nine o'clock."

"……That rascal!!"

Waking up sleepy, because too sleepy, the white-headed dog Juanji saw a plaque in a trance, and he was refreshed for a second: "Dajiao!"

"Huh? Ah, it's the store you've always liked." Panda understood, "I just got up late today, and everyone hasn't had breakfast yet. Anyway, if you have time, go buy some cakes and wait."

"Salmon roe!" The dog Curly's eyes lighted up slightly, and he headed for the dessert shop in the first place.

"Speaking of which, the bullshit protection system is really annoying." Chanyuan Maki folded her fingers, palms outward, and stretched her arms forward, her voice was undisguised irritability: "I work so late every day, and I still have to pay back my obligations." Labor, the higher-ups treat us as cheap labor?"

She was cursing all day yesterday at work.

"Well, well, after all, it is the resolution of the upper echelon." Panda reassured her: "There is still one week to end."

In just a few minutes, several people walked out of the store.Gou Juji looked at the Japanese snacks in the bag with dim eyes, and shared a few for everyone.

"By the way, where's the disqualified teacher?" Nagasaki Yaqiangwei bit off the strawberry decoration on the dessert, her voice was slurred, and she realized that a certain white hair had never come after she was excited.

"Well, Wu is not late once or twice."

Zenyuan Maki let out a 'tsk', raised her head and asked Yuzuhiro: "Youren, do you know someone from the Yokohama school?"

"I know! Junpei and I made a phone call last night." Hirohito Kojou raised his hand and answered.

"The next time something like this happens, just call him and ask." Gojo Satoru's reputation with her has already dropped below negative.

The few people chatting on the side of the road didn't notice that a black-haired young man in a suit hurried past four or five steps away from them.

Born to be dazzled: ... What a coincidence.

Today's temperature has been uncommonly hot in recent days. The road in the distance is steaming with heat, scorching the passing vehicles.

Sitting on the seat near the door of the tram, the naturally eye-catching and skilled upper-size vest drove to pick up the Yokohama school group on the side of the road: These children must not be allowed to suffer from heat stroke.

"Yokohama, let me take a look." Nagasaki Yarose clicked on the phone screen and searched for the specialty store in Yokohama: "Oh! theginza, Issey Miyake...Evisu also has a special store! Maki-senpai, let's go shopping at night!"

"Okay." Chanyuan Maki agreed to him indifferently.

"However, the atmosphere in Yokohama is different from that in Tokyo." Wild Rose Nagasaki, who has visited Tokyo a few times, feels that the two cities are not very similar. It was the same when she searched just now. There are many stores in Yokohama that don't even exist in the capital Tokyo.

"Because Yokohama is a port city." Fugurohui put his hands in his pockets, and was so hot that he didn't want to talk from just now.

Panda was next to her and gave her a popular science: "Yes, because it is a port city, almost half of Japan's economic center of gravity, so this kind of global limited car will often appear on the street."

"Oh oh oh! It's coming, it's coming!" Nagasaki Wild Rose was excited, and took out her mobile phone from her pocket to take a photo: "Limited worldwide! Can I take pictures?"

The stretched black car happened to stop in front of them.

But it is parked here, and it is an extended welcome car, it can't be... The panda's voice was a little hesitant: "...you can ask the owner of the car."

Fu Heihui stared at the car logo a few more times just now, but now he looks away instead.

Nagasaki Wild Rose's eyes were bright, she held up her mobile phone, and pondered her words for a while in her heart.She raised her hand and knocked on the window of the driver's seat of the black car with her knuckles, speaking excitedly:

"Hello! May I ask..."

Her voice and excitement faded away.

Because a familiar face appeared behind the slowly falling car window.

"Oda-sensei from the Yokohama school!" Hirohito Kojou let out a "wow" and leaned forward:

"Oda-sensei, is this your car? It's so handsome!"

A passerby who recognized the model nearby came to see him, with some whispers and self-conscious scrutiny.

In the eyes of everyone, Oda Sakunosuke opened the car door.He was wearing a beige windbreaker that didn't match the style of the black car. He got off the driver's seat and stood in front of several people, with a plain tone of apology: "Sorry, I've been waiting for a long time. This is the school car, I'll take you there School."

Kaginizaki Haruka, who had been silent since just now, was suffocating.

"Learn...the school car." Her pupils trembled, and the logo of Yokohama School appeared before her eyes again.

Which... Which school will be equipped with this kind of global limited car, and the kind of school badge that can be snatched at first glance...

... What kind of private high school for capitalist aristocrats?Is it the kind of classmate with the granddaughter of a member of parliament? ?

Zenin Maki coughed, and pulled Kizaki Ye Qiangwei, who had a blank expression, into the car.

Sitting on the sofa in the car that looked like leather, Rose Kizaki came back to her senses for a second, and looked back, forth, up, down, left, and right with Knotaba Yuhito.

"The bar in the car, the bar in the car." With several years of experience in TV dramas, Nagasaki Wild Rose patrolled the car, and finally pulled out the bar in the car covered with crushed ice from behind a hidden button: "There is Hey!!!" She was excited as if she was content.

"Like the one shown on TV!!"

There are still little stars in the eyes of Knotweed Youruhito.

In front of the teachers at the Yokohama school, Megumi Fukuro felt a little ashamed.He patted the shoulder of the knotweed Youren, frowned slightly and said, "Quiet."

"Thanks to the Yokohama school for coming to pick us up." For some reason, the panda who became the most reliable among the few became the speaker: "But how do you know we came early?"

Oda Sakunosuke calmed down, and glanced at a few people from the rearview mirror: "...Ranpo-kun said it."

"Random steps?" The panda tilted its head.

Oda Sakunosuke did not explain.

The vehicle leaves the avenue in the urban area and travels on the highway to the suburbs. Looking out from the window, there are fewer and fewer vehicles visible to the naked eye.

"It's coming soon, please close your eyes for the next part of the journey, and silently recite the number of one hundred in your heart."

"Close your eyes?" Zenyuan Maki raised her eyebrows slightly, just out of curiosity: "What will happen if you don't close your eyes?"

"will die."

There was a second of silence in the car.

Oda Sakunosuke's gaze from the rearview mirror was serious, without any other extra emotions, which surprised a few people to find that he was not joking or provocative.

"...Thank you for your reminder?" Panda replied hesitantly.

Now that the other party said so, several people in the Tokyo school closed their eyes hesitantly.

one hundred numbers...

Knotaba Yuhito was thinking about various things while counting, and suddenly got stuck on a number that crossed tens.

Hey, how many times have I counted?ninety? 91? 92? ...Forget it.

He finally decided to open his eyes as long as the people around him made a sound.

However, he waited for a long time, until Oda Sakunosuke said "here", no one made a sound.

Knotabagi Yuhito hesitantly opened one eye.

Immediately, I saw the blank expressions of several people around me looking up at the window at the same time, Nagasaki wild rose and even pupil earthquake.

What, what's wrong!

Knotabagi Yuhito was taken aback, and subconsciously looked up, and then the expression on his face stopped at that moment just now.

The sky is clear, the sun is clear, and the white Western European-style buildings stand in shade. The scattered light beams penetrate from the corners of the buildings, giving them a somewhat hazy and illusory meaning.

The tall and upright bell tower is inlaid with a huge dim yellow clock, and white pigeons are standing on the minute hand of the clock, resting their wings and looking down at the people at the door.On the left side of the clock, a few of the buildings lined with oriel windows are occasionally opened, and soft white gauze flies out from the window.

The Gothic church stands quietly on the right side of the clock, silent and speechless, and glass blocks of different colors piece together patterns of quills and books at the tip of the church-like building.

Behind all the buildings, the black building soars into the sky, its style is completely different from that of the white building, and the black exterior glass reflects all the light, standing silently in the distance, facing the clock tower far away.

After getting off the bus, the original appearance of the Yokohama school was displayed in front of my eyes, which was even more shocking.

"Yo... Yokohama school." Nagasaki Yamei stood on the concrete floor, her voice almost murmured.

Immediately, her expression became more and more high-spirited, with the excitement visible to the naked eye, and she almost jumped up from the spot: "This is the school of my dream metropolis!!"

Beside her, Zenyuan Maki's subconscious thought was: Where does this school get the money from?Soon, she thought of the rumors about the Yokohama school that she had heard before, and she became a little clear, with a complicated expression:

Sure enough, you earn more by doing dirty work?

In the state of running away from home, Zenyuan Maki, who was extremely difficult to get a subsidy from the school because her family blocked her, let out a 'tsk' and fell into hesitation for a second.

"Yo, good morning."

A childish voice interrupted her thoughts.

Several people looked sideways at the same time.

The young man dressed like a British detective was smiling. He was wearing a brown beret, his black hair was scattered casually, his brown shawl was slightly lifted by the breeze, his blue tie was regular, and his steps were in a similar pace The discrepancy is arbitrary.With one hand in his pocket, the boy was walking slowly towards them.

This style...

Zenin Maki, who was also present when Natsume Soseki appeared before, suddenly had a guess.

"Senior?" Fu Heihui, who noticed Zenyuan Maki's weird expression, asked quietly.

The young man pretending to be a detective was getting closer and closer to them. Zenyuan Maki couldn't directly express her conjecture to the younger generation, so she could only briefly summarize the reminder in three words: "Senior grade."

Fu Heihui understood.

The young detective, who watched the two making small moves in front of his eyes, just raised his eyebrows, and didn't care about it generously, standing in front of them: "Anyway, since the president asked you so much, Lord Ranbu will take care of it." You are all right."

'Random'!

Hearing the familiar name, several people subconsciously became vigilant: in all the information they got, 'Ranpo' was always mentioned together with Osamu Dazai.

With Dazai Osamu as a comparison, they subconsciously increased the danger level of the childish boy in front of them.

As if aware of the thoughts of several people, the boy snorted dissatisfiedly: "That guy Dazai is far behind me!"

Several people in the said center were stunned at the same time, their eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Isn't this obvious?" The young man spread his hands, not caring about the reactions of several people.In his voice, there is a mixture of self-confidence from the bottom of his heart and self-willed indifference to everything:

"I'm a third-year student at the Yokohama school, Edogawa Ranpo, a super-famous detective! The spell is [super reasoning] that can see through all the truth, and there is nowhere to hide any thoughts in front of me."

Detective?The panda tilted its head and looked at Edogawa Ranpo's clothes again.

"Eyes?" Yuzu Yujin raised his hand and asked, "Is it the same type as Mr. Gojo's eyes?"

"Of course—" Edogawa Ranpo drew out his voice, with an expression of 'Why are you so stupid', "No!"

"Ugh?"

Edogawa puffed up his cheeks, but still reluctantly explained to him: "My technique works on the mind, which can speed up my thinking and allow me to deduce all the truths covered by lies in an instant."

Think faster?Fu Heihui was slightly taken aback.This type of surgery that acts on the brain's thinking has never appeared even in history.

At least among the recorded spells, the boy in front of him is the only one.

...and another one.

Megumi Fukuro was a little irritable, feeling that the information of the Yokohama school was not integrated enough.

It’s like an iceberg floating in front of his eyes. He wants to estimate its depth. Every time he feels that he has enough information, but time and time again he finds that the iceberg is still in the deeper waters, and he feels powerless and irritated. .

Soon, he forcibly calmed down his mood, glanced at the boyish-looking boy opposite him, and decided to talk less and make fewer mistakes along the way.

If, as Edogawa Ranpo himself said, it was just to speed up the reasoning, as long as Fuguro Megumi did not take the initiative to leak information, he would not be able to reason anything out.

Fu Heihui, who was thinking so, found that Edogawa raised his eyebrows and looked at him in disorder.

...!

Fu Heihui took a few steps back subconsciously, feeling a bit of coolness belatedly.

"It's amazing!" On the contrary, Yuzu Yujin was very excited, thinking inexplicably: "Then will you know the ending after reading half of the detective novel?"

"I'm a detective, and I can guess the ending just by looking at the beginning."

The panda gave a "wow".

"Also, I just want to eat Gozai." Edogawa Ranbu stretched out his hand to Gou Makitou and shook it: "The president is not at school right now, so I can't eat it. I will share it with you with other snacks." How about an exchange?"

Goujuanji was stunned for two seconds, then lowered his head to smell his body.

Edogawa raised his eyebrows in disorder: "Don't smell it, I don't know it by smell."

Knotweed Yuhito was confused:

"Huh? What's that...?"

The young man in detective suit put his hands behind his back and took a few steps forward, standing right in front of the dog, with a confident smile on his lips.

"Although it's something you can tell at a glance, but forget it, I can explain it to you. First of all, there is Gozai near the station from the Tokyo campus to Yokohama. According to her—" He looked at Kizaki Wild Rose , "The character will definitely look forward to Yokohama, and it is impossible to detour to other stations."

"Secondly, Gojo Satoru told you that the agreed time is nine o'clock in the morning. The Shinkansen from Tokyo to Yokohama takes half an hour, and it takes one hour from the Tokyo school to the station. The proposal for the protection system has just begun. Attitude, as an important node, you should be rushing to work from morning to night, and you slept very late last night, well, you probably don't have time to have breakfast this morning."

... all right!

The expressions of several people gradually took on consternation.

Goujuanji exchanged snacks with Edogawa Ranpo in a daze, holding a large bag of potato chips that Edogawa Ranpo dug out from nowhere, with a dazed face: Potato chips happen to be his favorite flavor... …

[The compatibility with Edogawa Ranpo has increased to 17%]

Seeing the expressions of several people, Edogawa Ranpo turned around in satisfaction: "Let's go, the Kyoto school will arrive in 10 minutes, I will take you to the meeting room first."

Fu Heihui bit the corner of his lower lip, and paused for a while, until Nagasaki Ye Qiangwei looked back at him suspiciously, and then followed the footsteps of the few people.

"I'm sorry, Ranpo-kun." Oda Sakunosuke didn't go with them, as if he was planning to pick up the Kyoto school.

"It's okay~" Edogawa Ranpo didn't look back, he waved his hands nonchalantly: "After all, the president asked me so much."

All the way to sitting in the conference room on the fifth floor of the white building, the entire group was extremely silent.

Nagasaki Wild Rose subconsciously sat with Zenin Maki.

Edogawa Ranpo didn't care about the silence in the room at all, he held a transparent glass bead between the tip of his index finger and the tip of his thumb, aiming at the bright sunlight outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

He closed his other eye and watched the light through the glass beads carefully.

"Senior." In the silence that filled the room, Nagasaki Wild Rose approached Zenin Maki and asked her in a breathy voice, "Are we going to sit here until 09:30?"

Zenyuan Maki was silent for two seconds, and turned her gaze to the panda beside her.

"Don't look at me." The panda also replied in a low voice, leaning back, revealing Fu Heihui who was blocking.

Fu Heihui, who was originally immersed in thinking: "?"

A knock on the door finally broke the strange silence of the room.

"Everyone, work hard."

The silver-haired man who opened the door was wearing an undergarment and a black haori, and his dark green pupils were inexplicably sharp, watching everyone quietly.
